  • Publication number: 20230420721
    Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing a secondary battery, in which air is suctioned in an opposite direction of a transfer direction inside a loading part to prevent a radical unit, which freely drops at an initial speed in the transfer direction, from colliding with the loading part, thereby reducing folding short defects that occur in a subsequent process. The system for manufacturing the secondary battery includes a transfer part configured to transfer a radical unit, a loading part configured to allow the radical unit transferred by the transfer part to drop in a direction of gravity so as to load the radical unit, and an intake part configured to suction air inside an inner space of the loading part from a side surface of the loading part.

  • Patent number: 11450879
    Abstract: An electrode assembly in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are alternately stacked, and a separator is disposed between the positive and negative electrodes comprises: a folding unit, a negative electrode unit, and a positive electrode unit alternately inserted between layers of the separator of which one side and the other side are alternately folded in a zigzag shape in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the positive electrode and the negative electrode are stacked; and a stacking unit in which the positive electrode, the separator, and the negative electrode, each of which is cut by a predetermined size, are sequentially stacked. The folding unit having a Z-folding structure and the stacking unit having a lamination & stacking structure may be bonded to each other. Thus, the positive electrode may increase in area relative to the negative electrode in the folding unit to increase in capacity.

  • Patent number: 10971705
    Abstract: Provided are a pouch for a secondary battery, which is capable of minimizing a folded area of a bridge part of the pouch that is manufactured by folding two accommodation parts to overlap each other, and a die for forming the pouch for the secondary battery. The pouch for the secondary battery includes a lower accommodation part accommodating an electrode assembly therein, an upper accommodation part covering an opening of the lower accommodation part, and a bridge part connecting the lower accommodation part to the upper accommodation part. When the lower accommodation part and the upper accommodation part are unfolded, a height of the bridge part, which is measured from a bottom surface of the lower accommodation part, is lower than that of the lower accommodation part, which is measured from the bottom surface of the lower accommodation part.
