[0028] According to different requirements, the formula of the different pressure-sensitive adhesive layers can be selected.

[0029] In the present invention, the organic polymer matrix may be compounded by natural rubber or synthetic rubber, which has good initial viscosity and is suitable for materials having low surface and being difficult to stick. Moreover, acrylic resin or organo-siloxane resin can be selected as the organic polymer matrix of the pressure-sensitive material. The tackifying resin may be petroleum resin, rosin resin, terpene resin, or one of the modified resins of petroleum resin, rosin resin and terpene resin. The flame retardant can be selected from non-halogen phosphorus flame retardant. The heat-conducting filler can be selected from metal particles, such as aluminum oxide, silver, copper and other metal powder, or one of graphite, graphene material and other non-metallic heat-conducting materials. The current-conducting material can be selected from one of conductive particles such as silver-coated copper powder, copper powder, nickel powder or current-conducting graphite powder and other current-conducting particles. The heat-expansion microparticle can be made of hydrocarbon-coated high-molecular polymer, such as acrylonitrile, acrylonitrile copolymer or other acrylonitrile copolymer or vinylidene chloride.

[0030] The flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and heat-expansion pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the invention is prepared by taking an organic polymer as a matrix, adding a flame retardant, a heat-conducting filler, current-conducting particles and meeting heat-expansion microparticle. At the normal state, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can play the role of sticking, flame retardant, heat dissipation and grounding. In special cases, if encountering the collision, the sticking material is collided and heated, and then expands instantly in order to effectively separate each stuck material.

[0031] The flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing layer is composed of a special modified rubber, which has the characteristics of high sticking strength, impact resistance and drop resistance, and can meet the vibration requirements that may be encountered when a powered vehicle travels on the road.

[0032] The invention provides a manufacturing method of the anti-explosive easy-to-disassemble safe adhesive tape, comprising the following steps of:

[0033] Step 1. According to the need, the formula proportion (referring to the formula of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layertable 1) of the anti-explosive easy-to-disassemble safe adhesive tape is selected. The raw materials, including organic polymer matrix, tackifying resin, flame retardant, heat-conducting filler, current-conducting filler and heat-expansion microparticle, are weighed up. The raw materials are mixed, and stirred completely and uniformly, so as to prevent the flame retardant, heat-conducting filler, current-conducting filler and heat-expansion filler from settling and agglomerating to obtain a uniformly-mixed heat-conducting, current-conducting and heat-expansion pressure-sensitive adhesive solution. At this point, the heat conductivity coefficient is increased to 1.0 W/m.Math.K from the traditional 0.1 W/m.Math.K or below. At the same time, the heat-expansion functional particles used in the adhesive layer manufactured by the pressure-sensitive solution can have good compatibility with the flame retardant, the heat-conducting and current-conducting material and the adhesive.

[0034] Step 2. According to the viscosity and solid content of the pressure-sensitive adhesive solution obtained in the above step 1 and the thickness of the dried adhesive layer obtained according to the need, the suitable coating method is selected, such as roll coating, scraping knife or scraping stick coating. The release material having the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and heat-expansion pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is obtained by coating the pressure-sensitive solution on the release material, baking through an over at 80-150 C., and drying completely, and rolled up. According to the need, the material roll of the release material having the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.

[0035] Step 3. The flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing solution is coated on another release material, baked through the over at 80-150 C., dried completely to obtain the release material having the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing layer, and re-rolled up. According to the need, the material rolls of the release material have the extensible viscosity-losing layer.

[0036] The step 2 and step 3 can be performed synchronously, or the release material having the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing layer is firstly prepared, and then the release material having the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and heat-expansion pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is prepared.

[0037] Step 4. on a re-rolling laminating machine, the material roll of the release material having the first flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and heat-expansion pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the material roll of the release material having the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing layer are loosened respectively, the two adhesive surfaces are stuck together, and the release material of the lame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing layer is peeled off.

[0038] Step 5. The adhesive surface of the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing layer in the combined material and the other roller of release material having the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and heat-expansion pressure-sensitive adhesive layer are stuck together to obtain the adhesive tape combining with the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and heat-expansion pressure-sensitive adhesive layer at two sides of the flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing layer.

[0039] The current-conducting particles used in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer make the adhesive tape have the conductive grounding function, and the resistance in the XY and Z directions can reach below 0.1 ohm. Flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and heat-expansion pressure-sensitive adhesive layer has a thickness of 3-150 m to ensure sufficient adhesive property, flame retardant, current-conducting property and heat-conducting property. If the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer thickness is too thin, the sticking ability is relatively poor, which cannot guarantee the effective sticking of the battery in the case of vibration; at the same time, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is too thin, it may make the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the stuck heating element, such as element cell not be fully contacted, an air layer exists in the middle, so that the heat conducting effect is greatly reduced. If the thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is too thick, excessive glue at high temperature and high thermal resistance may occur although the adhesion between the element cells can be improved. In the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the heat-expansion functional particles are used, and the heat-expansion functional particles can be well compatible with the selected pressure-sensitive adhesive body and the heat-conducting and current-conducting particles. However, in the event of an accident such as a collision, for example, when the temperature reaches about 200 C., the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer instantly expands and the 180 peel strength decreases to below 1 N/cm, thereby separating each battery module.

[0040] The heat-expansion microparticles in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can rapidly expand in 36 s at a certain temperature, which can accomplish viscosity-losing to separate the battery pack and short circuit of the battery. The expansion pressure-resisting strength of the heat-expansion microparticles can reach 150-300 Psi.

[0041] The flame-retardant, current-conducting, heat-conducting and extensible viscosity-losing layer is composed of a special modified rubber whose thickness is controlled between 5-300 m so as to have the characteristics of high sticking strength, impact resistance and drop resistance. When the extensible viscosity-losing adhesive layer has the rearrangement of molecular chain under the action of tension, the rigidity (storage modulus) increases, and the pressure-sensitive property weakens, which shows worse adhesive property (peeling force property) macroscopically, or even loses or completely loses the viscosity. Thereof, the stuck object will be separated well and no pressure-sensitive adhesive is left on the surface of the stuck object, which is beneficial to reclaiming the separated single battery.

[0042] In the invention, the stretchable synthetic rubber is used as the base material of the whole adhesive tape. Due to the relatively low tensile strength, when the battery pack needs to be disassembled, only the base material needs to be stretched so as to very easily drive the heat-conducting and current-conducting pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on both sides, so as to lose the viscosity due to the stretch. For example, when the stretch ratio is 50% or more, the 180 peel strength can be promptly decreased to 1 N/m or below to separate the adjacent element cells.

[0043] According to the industrial test, the technical indicators of the product achievable by the present invention are as follows:
