Abstract

An electrode assembly manufacturing device includes a winding mechanism, a heating mechanism, a conveyor belt arranged between the heating mechanism and the winding mechanism, and a forming mechanism. The winding mechanism is configured to wind a positive electrode sheet, a separator, and a negative electrode sheet into an electrode assembly. The conveyor belt is configured to transfer the electrode assembly from the winding mechanism to the heating mechanism. The heating mechanism is configured to heat the electrode assembly. The forming mechanism is configured to press and form the electrode assembly.

Claims (19)

1. An electrode assembly manufacturing device, comprising:

a winding mechanism, configured to wind a positive electrode sheet, a separator, and a negative electrode sheet into an electrode assembly;

a heating mechanism;

a conveyor belt arranged between the heating mechanism and the winding mechanism, and disposed outside the heating mechanism;

a power mechanism configured to drive the conveyor belt to move to transfer the electrode assembly from the winding mechanism to the heating mechanism, wherein the heating mechanism is configured to heat the electrode assembly; and

a forming mechanism, configured to press and form the electrode assembly;

wherein the heating mechanism comprises a heating transport belt, and the heating transport belt is joined to the conveyor belt and is configured to move in a direction from a first side of the heating mechanism to a second side of the heating mechanism to transport the electrode assembly from the first side of the heating mechanism to the second side of the heating mechanism.

2. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating mechanism further comprises two oppositely arranged electromagnetic heating assemblies, a gap for the electrode assembly to pass through is provided between the two electromagnetic heating assemblies, and the electromagnetic heating assembly is configured to electromagnetically heat the electrode assembly.

3. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 2 , wherein each of the two electromagnetic heating assemblies comprises a protective cover and a heating module arranged in the protective cover, and an inner wall of the protective cover is provided with a sound insulation layer configured to insulate noise generated when the electromagnetic heating assembly heats the electrode assembly.

4. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 3 , wherein an insulating layer is provided between the inner wall of the protective cover and the sound insulation layer, and the insulating layer is configured to limit a leakage of current generated by the electromagnetic heating assembly to an outside of the protective cover.

5. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating transport belt is configured to run at a same speed as the conveyor belt.

6. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 1 , wherein the heating transport belt is provided with a temperature sensor configured to sense a temperature of the electrode assembly on the heating transport belt.

7. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 6 , wherein the temperature sensor is one of a plurality of temperature sensors, and the plurality of temperature sensors are distributed on the heating transport belt at intervals.

8. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 1 , wherein the forming mechanism is one of a plurality of forming mechanisms, and the plurality of forming mechanisms are arranged close to the heating mechanism.

9. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sorting mechanism configured to classify and position the electrode assembly;

wherein the forming mechanism is integrated with the sorting mechanism.

10. The electrode assembly manufacturing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the conveyor belt abuts or contacts the heating transport belt along a transport direction.
