Introduction to the function and principle of 1.1 equipment
This equipment is widely used in high-rate formation of soft-packed lithium cells under heating and pressurizing conditions. Tests have proved that ternary, lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganate and other material cells can be high-rate formation at high temperatures. The basic principle is due to the high temperature The conductivity of the electrolyte is greatly improved. The main operation process includes: manually taking materials from the preparation tooling and putting them into the hot pressing forming fixture, the fixture automatically heats, pressurizes and forms, the fixture automatically opens at the end of forming, and manually discharging materials from the hot fixture. This equipment is suitable for the production of specific types of batteries (drawings provided by the user). It is compatible with batteries with air bags without flushing pits and air bags with flushing pits. The equipment consists of two groups of hot pressing clamps.
The main functions of the 1.2 fixture are as follows
1.2.1 Provide the pressure required to compress the cell;

1.6.1. The system adopts intelligent humanized design, and the pressure adopts multi-stage pressure adjustment, and the pressure change of multi-stage pressure can be changed according to time;
1.6.2. Pressure one-button setting can automatically generate pressure and pressure as long as the length and width of the battery cell are input;
1.6.3. The temperature is controlled by the temperature module, and the real-time data collected by the K-type temperature control probe is fed back to the PLC. The temperature rises to 90 ℃ at room temperature for less than 30 minutes; the temperature error is ± 1.5 ℃;
1.6.4. The temperature control module is used to control and monitor the temperature. When the temperature is lower than the set temperature, the heating will automatically start, and when the temperature is higher than the set temperature, the heating will automatically stop. At the same time, the high temperature alarm of the second level is set. When the temperature exceeds the maximum temperature of the second level, the system will stop the heating and formation process of the whole fixture and notify the manual intervention of the system alarm. The temperature monitoring adopts multi-channel monitoring. The problem with heating all the way is that at least two or more parallel monitoring sends out independent alarm messages.
