The present invention relates to a sealing device for a secondary battery. The sealing device is configured to seal a battery case accommodating an electrode assembly therein to manufacture the secondary battery, the sealing device including a sealing block configured to press a sealing portion of the battery case, a flatness adjusting part configured to adjust a flatness of a pressing surface of the sealing block, and a heater part configured to transfer heat to the sealing block to thermally fuse the sealing portion of the battery case when the sealing portion is pressed by the sealing block.

An apparatus for manufacturing a pouch, includes a die in which a pair of forming grooves are formed with a partition wall therebetween in a top surface thereof; and a pair of punches disposed above the die configured to form a pair of accommodation parts in a pouch film while being respectively inserted into the pair of forming grooves in a state of pressing the pouch film, wherein a pressing surface of each of the punches, which is configured to press the pouch film, has an inclined angle that is inclined upward from one end thereof disposed at a side of the partition wall toward an opposite end thereof.

A method of forming a package is provided and includes providing two laminate edge portions of the package, each of which includes a foil layer between first and second resin layers; and welding together the respective first resin layers at a first position spaced apart from the edges while not welding the respective first resin layers at the edges, wherein the edge portions include edges from which electrode terminals extend such that portions of the electrode terminals are exposed beyond the edges, and wherein the edge portions are between a sealing portion and exposed portions of positive and negative electrode terminals.

To solve the above problems, a pouch molding method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a seating step of seating a pouch film on a top surface of a die; a stripper descending step of allowing a stripper disposed above the die to descend; a fixing step of fixing the pouch film using the stripper; a molding preparation step of allowing a Blank holder disposed at a central portion of the die to ascend to contact one surface of the pouch film and allowing a punch disposed at a central portion of the stripper to descend to contact the other surface of the pouch film; and a molding step of allowing the punch and the Blank holder to descend along with each other to form a cup part in the pouch film.

A pack case includes: a first wall pressing a battery stack toward a second side in a stacking direction; and a second wall pressing the battery stack toward a first side in the stacking direction. At least one of the first wall and the second wall is a panel structure wall including a first metal plate, a second metal plate located outward of the first metal plate in the slacking direction and faces the first metal plate, and an interposed member interposed between and fixed to the first metal plate and the second metal plate. The interposed member has a lower density than a metal forming the first metal plate and die second metal plate.

A battery assembly, such as a bipolar battery assembly, generally includes a first casing portion comprising an optically-absorbing region defining a first feature, and a second casing portion comprising an optically-transmissive region, the second casing portion defining a second feature, the second feature sized and shaped to mate with the first feature. The first and second features form a hermetic seal comprising a welded joint. Fabrication of such an assembly can include physically mating the first casing portion with the second casing portion, and irradiating, such as using a laser, the optically-absorbing region defining the first feature through the optically-transmissive region to form the welded joint. The first or second casing portions can include one or more casing segments that can support a battery plate, such as comprising a conductive substrate. A gasket or seal can be used such as to provide a further seal at or near a perimeter of the conductive substrate.

The present disclosure relates to a method for sealing a pouch casing of a pouch-type secondary battery, which includes the steps of: a receiving step in which an electrode assembly is received in an inner space formed between an upper pouch and a lower pouch; and a sealing step in which a first pressure is applied to an outer circumferential sealing portion, where the upper pouch and the lower pouch are sealed, in the longitudinal direction, and then the pressure is relieved, wherein the sealing step is carried out by applying external force to the upper pouch in the upward direction and to the lower pouch in the downward direction, or by applying a second pressure working in perpendicular to the first pressure to the sealing portion from the inner part of the pouch casing in a direction toward the outside.

A method for producing a part made of a composite material having an organic matrix and a fibrous reinforcement, the method comprising the following steps: a) automatically draping, either in a planar arrangement or shaped over a three-dimensional cavity, at least one lamination (30, 31) comprising at least a first and second different dry plies, at least partially stacked to form a dry, planar or three-dimensional preform, each ply being fibrous and the plies mutually differing in terms of their structure, their positioning on the preform, the fibres composing them and/or the geometry of the ply, wherein at least one ply is laid in a non-woven form and has a plurality of unidirectional fibre layers laid on top of each other with a different angular orientation of the fibres, and/or at least one ply is woven; b) thermoforming the preform, the thermoforming step taking place, when the preform has been draped in a planar arrangement in step a), in a three-dimensional cavity of a first mold to impart a three-dimensional shape thereto; and c) impregnating, with at least one polymer, the preform thus thermoformed inside a mold, the preform being moved, if it is draped in a planar arrangement in step a), from the first thermoforming mold to a second mold for the impregnation step.

An adhesive for laminating a metal foil to a resin film, the adhesive including: a polyol (A); a multimer of a polyisocyanate (B); and a metal compound (C) being a compound of at least one metal of Groups 7 and 12, wherein the multimer of a polyisocyanate (B) contains a multimer of a saturated aliphatic polyisocyanate and a multimer of a saturated alicyclic polyisocyanate. Also disclosed is a laminate having a metal foil and a resin film laminated through an adhesive layer obtained from the adhesive for laminating of the invention. Yet further disclosed is a packaging material for a battery casing obtained by using the laminate. Yet further disclosed is a battery case obtained by using the packaging material for a battery casing. Also disclosed is a method for producing a battery case which includes deep drawing or bulging the packaging material for a battery casing.
