Automatic Tape-Application Equipment for Lithium-Ion Batteries: Dynamic Performance Simulation and Optimization Design

This study focused on the tape-application operation for lithium-ion batteries used in mobile phones and designed automatic tape-application equipment. Through in-depth analysis of the tape-application process requirements for lithium-ion batteries, structural designs for the tape-application mechanism and its auxiliary mechanisms were created. This design considered several issues, such as insufficient tension during tape pulling and uneven tape application. The present study employed a top-down design philosophy, following a complete non-standard design process with the goal of improving the production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and ensuring adequate tape-application quality. The SolidWorks software was utilized to conduct static and dynamic simulation analyses of the equipment, thereby verifying its design rationality and reliability. Additionally, finite element analyses and stress verifications were performed for critical components, thus ensuring their strength and stability. This study not only provides a new solution for automated production in the lithium-ion battery industry but also demonstrates the significant role of automation technology in modern manufacturing.
