A holder for conveyance of a cylindrical body includes a tubular portion having a hollow portion in which a cylindrical body is housed, and a protrusion having a base end connected to an inner wall surface of the tubular portion and a distal end formed as a free end. The protrusion has elasticity and flexibility, and the protrusion is disposed on an inner diameter side of an outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body at an expected housing position such that a side surface of the distal end of the protrusion is allowed to come into contact with the outer circumferential surface while the protrusion is warped to an outer diameter side of the hollow portion.

A battery winding apparatus and method is provided. The battery winding method includes steps of providing a first sheet group comprising a cathode sheet, a second sheet group comprising an anode sheet, and a winding mechanism for a winding operation, where the first sheet group and/or the second sheet group are pre-formed with a separator or separators; and winding the first sheet group and the second sheet group by the winding mechanism to obtain a battery cell. The battery winding method forms the first sheet group and the second sheet group by pre-bonding the separator or separators to the cathode sheet and/or the anode sheet to solve the problem of wrinkling of the sheet or changing the core into the S-shaped and low winding efficiency in the prior art.

Methods, systems, and compositions for the liquid-phase deposition (LPD) of thin films. The thin films can be coated onto the surface of porous components of electrochemical devices, such as battery electrodes. Embodiments of the present disclosure achieve a faster, safer, and more cost-effective means for forming uniform, conformal layers on non-planar microstructures than known methods. In one aspect, the methods and systems involve exposing the component to be coated to different liquid reagents in sequential processing steps, with optional intervening rinsing and drying steps. Processing may occur in a single reaction chamber or multiple reaction chambers.

A method for producing a film and a film winding device are provided. When transferring of the film is slowed for winding of the film to be suspended and after winding of the film is suspended, transferring of the film is accelerated for winding of the film to be resumed. The film has a tension at a first level during a period extending from slowing of transferring of the film to suspending of winding of the film. Alternatively, the film has a tension at a first level during a period extending from a predetermined time point during a period during which winding of the film is suspended to a time point at which the accelerating starts. The first level of the tension is higher than a second level that the tension has immediately before slowing of the transferring of the film starts.

A deviation detection method includes obtaining first and second images of first and second electrode sheets, respectively, of an electrode assembly during winding using first and second cameras. The method further includes determining whether the first and/or second camera is deviated according to a distance from a reference point in the first and/or second image to a specific position, which is a position of a same object appearing in the first image and the second image. The method also includes determining whether the electrode assembly is deviated according to a vertical distance from the reference point in the first image to a boundary of the first electrode sheet and a vertical distance from the reference point in the second image to a boundary of the second electrode sheet if the first camera and the second camera are not deviated.

A coil replacing device. When a first unreeling assembly at an unreeling station finishes unreeling, a fixing suction member can be driven by a first driver abutting against a first suction member clamping a working material tape, a first cutting assembly cuts off the working material tape, and the cut working material tape is sucked by the fixing suction member. Then, a vertical plate slides to make a second unreeling assembly enter the unreeling station, a material tape sucked by a second suction member will also enter the unreeling station as a spare material tape, and the first unreeling assembly will be removed from the unreeling station. The fixing suction member is driven by the first driver to abut against the second suction member, so as to realize coil replacing, and the first unreeling assembly can be loaded with a new material tape to serve as a spare material tape.
