  • Publication number: 20240304902
    Abstract: A pouch-type secondary battery includes a sealing part wherein a two-layer pouch-type battery case is heat-sealed in a state of accommodating an electrode assembly, and includes a cover member positioned between a thickness side of an electrode assembly and a pouch-type battery case on at least one of the four thickness sides constituting the thickness of an electrode assembly. The cover member disconnects a separator from an inner coating layer of the pouch and prevents the separator from being adhered to the inner coating layer when forming the sealing part, and thus prevents damage to the inner coating layer due to the movement of the electrode assembly.

  • Publication number: 20240217162
    Abstract: A pouch molding apparatus includes a die plate, a first stripper, a punch part, and a second stripper. The die plate has a flat plate shape so that a pouch film is seated on an upper portion thereof and has a molding hole having a shape passing through top and bottom surfaces of the die plate. The first stripper is configured to press and fix the pouch film to an upper side of the die plate and has a punch hole at a position at a position corresponding to the molding hole. The punch part is drawn in and out of the punch hole of the first stripper and the molding hole of the die plate to mold the pouch film. The second stripper protrudes from a bottom surface of the first stripper along a circumference of the punch hole in order to press and fix the pouch film.
