Description

Laser cleaning tab sealant process and device based on power density adjustment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of laser cleaning tab sealant, in particular to a process and a device for cleaning tab sealant based on power density adjustment.
Background
The electrode lug is a component of a soft package lithium ion battery product and is a metal conductor for leading out the positive electrode and the negative electrode from the battery core. The lugs of the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the battery are contact points when the battery is charged and discharged. The positive electrode of the battery uses an aluminum (Al) material, the negative electrode uses a nickel (Ni) material, and the negative electrode also has a copper nickel-plated (Ni-Cu) material. In order to prevent short circuit fault between the metal foil tab and the aluminum plastic film during battery packaging, two tab sealing films are usually used for clamping the metal foil between the two tab sealing films, and the metal foil and the aluminum plastic film are sealed and bonded together through heating and hot melting to prevent liquid leakage. The performance of the tab sealant as a connecting part of the tab and the shell is directly related to the safety of the battery in use, and the common practice is to reserve a margin of a plurality of millimeters beyond the sealing edge of the aluminum plastic film. The tab sealant with the exposed surplus part depends on the processing precision during hot melting sealing, the width of the tab sealant is uneven, and the exposed surplus part can influence the subsequent welding process, meanwhile, the space is wasted, and more compact connection with the control circuit board can not be realized. In order to further optimize the internal space layout of 3C products, especially mobile phones, and increase the volume of the battery core so as to expand the battery capacity, an important approach is to clean the exposed surplus tab sealant in order, so that the tab and the control circuit board form more compact connection.
The tab sealant with the surplus exposed part comprises two parts and four processing surfaces, namely a suspension part on the left side and the right side and a front and back attaching part of the tab metal foil. The suspended tab sealant is unsupported and has poor flatness, and the tab sealant on the metal foil is regularly attached on the front and the back. After the heat-sealing process of the cell, the width of the surplus exposed portion of the tab sealant may be different for each sample. These physical properties determine the inability to achieve accurate and thorough cleaning using conventional hardware methods.
The laser-removed tab sealant is different from the common laser-removed technology, and the main reason is that the material properties are greatly different from region to region. The part to be processed is a very critical joint, so that the accuracy and the integrity of processing are ensured, the functionality of a processed area and an unprocessed area is ensured, and particularly, excessive heat influence is avoided, and the integrity and the tightness of tab sealant in a battery sealing area are ensured.
The conventional laser photoresist removing process cannot be used for realizing the accurate and thorough removal of the exposed tab sealant at one time by using a single laser. The main reasons include that the lug sealing glue at the suspended part can be tilted and bent by taking white glue as an example, and is thermally insulated and light-transmitting in physical property; the tab sealant attached to the metal foil has the properties of high heat conduction and high light reflection. The tab sealant is distinguished from a laminated structure of the tab sealant and the thickness determined by the laminated structure, and the tab sealant also has a single-layer, three-layer and five-layer structure, wherein the multi-layer structure comprises an intermediate framework layer, a surface hydrophilic metal modified layer and a surface hydrophilic plastic modified layer, and the mechanical properties and melting points of different layers are not completely consistent. The material of the tab sealant is divided from chemical components of the tab sealant and comprises polypropylene (PP), modified polypropylene, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyphthalamide (PPA), modified polyphthalamide (PPA) and the like. The lug sealants made of different materials have different melting points, for example, the melting point of the framework layer PP is 167 ℃, the melting point of the modified PP is 135 ℃, the melting point of PEN is 265 ℃, and the melting point of PPA is 147 ℃. The colors of the lug sealing glue made of different materials are different, and the lug sealing glue is industrially divided into black glue, yellow glue and white glue, so that the difference of light absorption and light reflection characteristics is determined. For example, a Hitachi three-layer white glue comprises two layers of modified polypropylene (thickness: 25 μm) and an intermediate backbone layer polypropylene (thickness: 50 μm), the intermediate backbone layer polypropylene having a melting point 32℃higher than the melting point of the two layers of modified polypropylene.
In practice, using conventional laser de-gumming techniques, such as direct application of a single laser de-gumming process on a PCB, the tab seals on the metal foil are prone to blistering or gumming, and the bottom metal foil is prone to being scratched; the tab sealant at the suspended part is easy to deform by curling or burn by hot melting, and is difficult to obtain a neat notch. The main reason is that the photoresist removing process on the PCB only needs to consider the thickness and the area of the removed photoresist, but does not consider the specificity of the tab sealant, for example, the thermal conductivity, the mechanical property, the light absorption property, the thermal melting point, the light damage threshold and the like of the tab sealant with different positions and materials are different, so that the requirements on various optical parameters of the laser used for removing are also different.
Therefore, in order to realize accurate and thorough removal of the tab sealant, and ensure normal functionality of the unwashed part, the tab sealant with different physical properties and different areas needs to be realized by adopting different lasers or different laser process parameters.
