Abstract: The embodiments presented herein offer a spine mould that facilitates molecular locking between the spine and the positive active material of a battery. The manufacturing process for this mould involves creating a 3D model using computer-aided design (CAD) software, selecting appropriate materials, fabricating a base, and using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programming to create the mould. The mould is then subjected to computer numerical control (CNC) machining and digital carving to produce a surface porosity on the spine. After a heat treatment process in the spine cavity area, the CNC machining and digital carving are repeated. Finally, the mould is assembled, tested, and inspected. FIGIURE 2
1. A process for manufacturing spine mould (1) for a battery, comprises:
creating a 3D model of the spine mould (1) using a computer-aided design
5 (CAD) tool based on a plurality of parameters.
selecting materials for creating the spine mould (1)
creating the spine mould (1) based on the base, the 3D model, and the
selected material using Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) programming.
performing a computer numerical control (CNC) machining and a digital
10 carving of the spine mould (1) to create a surface porosity (3) on the spine mould
(1);
performing a heat treatment of the mould spine having the porosity (3) in a
spine cavity area of the spine mould (1)
performing the CNC machining and the digital carving again in the spine
15 cavity area having the porosity (3) after undergoing the heat treatment; and
assembling, testing, and inspecting the spine mould (1).
2. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the plurality of parameters includes
dimensions of the spine mould (1), the shape of the spine mould (1), and the
20 strength of the spine mould (1).
3. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the materials comprise at least one of
steel, aluminum, zinc, magnesium, or copper alloys.
25 4. The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the porosity (3) in the spine cavity
area of the spine mould (1) creates molecular locking between the spine and the
positive active material of the battery.
5. A battery comprising:
30 a spine mould (1) comprises a plurality of spines, wherein each spine of
the plurality of spines comprises a spine cavity area having porosity (3), and
wherein the porosity (3) in the spine cavity area of the spine mould (1)
creates molecular locking between the spine and positive active material of the
battery.
