The A' Design Award Explained

The Iron A' Design Award is awarded to good designs that meet the rigorous professional and industrial standards set by the A' Design Awards. This recognition is reserved for works that demonstrate a solid understanding of design principles and show creativity within their execution. Recipients of the Iron A' Design Award are acknowledged for their practical innovations and contributions to their respective fields, providing solutions that improve quality of life and foster positive change. These designs are a testament to the skill and dedication of their creators, showcasing their ability to address real-world challenges through thoughtful design.

About Laser Welding System High Precision

Laser Welding System is a machine for welding individual lithium batteries into power battery packs. The system uses a laser beam with high directivity and high power density as its heat source. An optical system focuses the beam on a small area to melt the joint in a very short time. A manipulator moves the parts, so welding is completed without manual work. The width, energy, peak power and repetition frequency of the laser pulse are controlled. The system measures 8075 by 1920 by 2110 millimetres and improves consistency and productivity.

About Lu Na

Chen Jun, associate professor, master's supervisor, is currently the director of the Design Innovation Center of the School of Design and Art of Shenyang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a director of the Liaoning Mechanical Engineering Society and Industrial Design Branch. Engaged in industrial design research for 20 years, has been committed to industrial design modeling and method research for many years, equipment product industrial design, intelligent product design, reverse design research, and cooperated with many companies to complete design projects and achieved good results.

Award Record

This recognition makes Lu Na a winner of 2 A' Design Awards. All of the awards belong to the 2020 - 2021 edition of the A' Design Award & Competition.

Design Details

Unique Properties
The function of this system is to weld independent lithium batteries into power battery packs. The reasonable selection of welding methods and processes will directly affect the cost, quality, safety and consistency of the battery. The laser welding system uses the excellent directivity and high power density of the laser beam, assisted by the manipulator, to melt the welded object in a very short time and form firm solder joints and welds, improving consistency, reliability and productivity.
Inspiration
Laser welding has high efficiency and is easy to realize automated production. After continuously improving the welding process and limiting the thermal influence in the forming process, more and more applications are used in actual production. Laser welding with industrial robots is gradually becoming the main force of the automated power battery module production line.
Research
The welding of automobile power battery requires a high degree of consistency. This design is for the batch welding of batteries and improve the reliability and efficiency of production. The internal manipulator can complete this work fully and efficiently without unmanned operation.
Challenge
The structural design of large-scale equipment is more difficult, and the interaction design between humans and machines
Realization and Technology
Laser welding is an efficient and precise welding method that uses a high-energy density laser beam as a heat source. That is, the surface of the workpiece is heated by laser radiation, and the surface heat is diffused to the inside through heat conduction. By controlling the width, energy, peak power and repetition frequency of the laser pulse, etc. Parameters to melt the workpiece.
Operation and Interaction
The laser welding system uses the excellent directivity and high power density of the laser beam to work. With the assistance of the manipulator, the optical system focuses the laser beam in a small area to form an energy in the welded area in a very short time. Highly concentrated heat source area, so that the welded object melts and forms a firm solder joint and weld seam.
