  • Publication number: 20240103082
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vibration test jig for a cylindrical battery cell, including: a main body for accommodating a cylindrical battery cell; and a connection unit electrically connected to an electrode terminal of the cylindrical battery cell, wherein the connection unit includes: a connection member electrically connected to the electrode terminal and withdrawn to the outside of the main body; a support member for supporting the connection member; and a fixing member for fixing the support member on the main body. The vibration test jig enables the cylindrical battery cell mounted in the jig to be electrically connected to an external voltage and resistance measuring device through the connection unit. During a vibration test, an electrical state of the battery cell can be monitored in real time, and it can be checked whether and when an electrode tab is disconnected by using the measured voltage or resistance value.

  • Patent number: 10985430
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method that includes forming a tab arrangement by vertically arranging the electrode tabs whereby at least parts of the electrode tabs overlap each other; irradiating light to at least two side surfaces among side surfaces of the tab arrangement excluding surfaces on which the electrode tabs overlap and surfaces facing the overlapped surfaces; scanning a planar shape of a step on which the electrode tabs do not overlap each other using light reflected from an end portion of each of the electrode tabs; scanning only an overlapped portion of the electrode tabs excluding the step based on the scanned result; setting a welding range within the overlapped portion; and performing welding only within the welding range.
