Two, high voltage discharge processing device
The high-voltage discharge treatment is one of the main points of the invention different from the traditional pole piece coating machine, the traditional pole piece coating machine generally directly coats the base material after cleaning treatment, and corona treatment is also adopted. The corona treatment is based on the principle that high-frequency high-voltage corona discharge is utilized to discharge on the surface of a plastic to be treated, low-temperature plasma is generated, free radical reaction is generated on the surface of the plastic, and the polymer is crosslinked, the surface is roughened, the wettability of the plastic to a polar solvent is increased, the plasma enters the surface of a printed body through electric shock and permeation, the molecular structure of the plasma is damaged, the molecules of the treated surface are oxidized and polarized, and the ion electric shock erodes the surface, so that the adhesion capability of the surface of a printing stock is increased, and the corona treatment is mainly used for surface treatment of silicon rubber and plastic substrates.
According to the invention, a high-voltage discharge treatment link is arranged before a printing process, and a high-voltage discharge breakdown method is adopted, so that on one hand, grease on the surface of the metal foil is gasified, and a cleaning effect is achieved, and simultaneously, under the action of air ionization generated by a discharge electrode and ozone and oxygen atoms generated by ionization, etching and roughening treatment are carried out on the surface of the metal foil, so that pits which are equivalent to the size of coated graphene particles and are uniformly distributed are formed on the treated surface of the metal foil, a coating medium is easily embedded into the pits and is tightly combined with a substrate, the contact area and the adhesive force are improved, under the condition of reducing the usage amount of an adhesive, the contact resistance between the medium and the substrate is reduced, and the charge-discharge characteristics of a battery can be improved.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the high voltage discharge processing apparatus of the present invention includes a plurality of high voltage discharge processing units 29 disposed on the surface of the metal foil, each unit includes a high voltage box 82, a negative pressure air draft device, a high voltage source and a plurality of discharge electrodes 83, the discharge electrodes 83 are disposed in parallel on the circumference of the high voltage discharge roller 85 along the axial direction of the high voltage discharge roller 85, and keep a certain distance from the metal foil 5, and the discharge electrodes 83 generate an arc 86 to act on the metal foil 5. The discharge electrode 83 is arranged at the front end inside the high-voltage box 82, the negative-pressure air outlet 81 is arranged at the rear end of the high-voltage box 82, and the air outlet 81 is communicated with an external negative-pressure air draft device. Usually, 1-2 groups of high-voltage discharge processing units can be arranged around one high-voltage discharge roller 85, and each group of high-voltage discharge processing units comprises 2-6 discharge electrodes 83.
In order to satisfy the effect of etching and roughening treatment on the surface of the metal foil 5, it is generally necessary to provide a plurality of discharge electrodes 83 around the same high-voltage discharge roller 85, and these discharge electrodes 83 generate a large amount of heat during high-voltage discharge, and if the heat cannot be instantaneously discharged, a high temperature rise occurs on the surface of the metal foil, and the physical properties of the metal foil change due to annealing. Generally, a water cooling mode is adopted for heat dissipation of large heat, namely, a plurality of pipelines are processed inside the high-voltage discharge roller 85 to be filled with cold water, heat generated by the high-voltage discharge roller 85 is conducted through the metal foil and the metal high-voltage discharge roller 85 and is taken away by water, the high-voltage discharge heat can be effectively reduced by the mode, but the requirement of a carbon coating process of a power battery/super capacitor cannot be met, because after ice water is filled into the discharge roller 64, the surface of the roller body can be precooled, condensed and frosted due to temperature difference, and further water mist is generated on the surface of the metal foil 5, and an aqueous medium material is adopted in the carbon coating process, so that the performance is changed after meeting water, and the coating quality is influenced. In addition, when water flows into the high-voltage discharge roller 85, the dynamic balance of the high-voltage discharge roller 85 during rotation is affected, the rotation speed is unstable, and the coating uniformity is affected, so that only the air cooling method can be adopted.
In order to meet the requirement of large-heat air cooling, the invention adopts a high-power negative pressure air draft device, the negative pressure air draft device is connected to an air outlet 81 on the rear side of a high-pressure box body 82, meanwhile, the gap between an electrode and a metal foil is set to be 2-4mm, preferably 3mm, so that the purpose of cooling is achieved by taking away heat by large-flow air flow 84, meanwhile, the ionization effect of large-flow air under the action of high pressure is enhanced, and more ozone and oxygen atoms are generated, thereby enhancing the etching and roughening treatment on the surface of the metal foil. In addition, the high-voltage discharging roller 85 is made of aluminum alloy surface sprayed with antioxidant ceramics, has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and wear resistance, and can still maintain the original transmission precision after bearing long-time high-voltage discharge. The metal foil after the high-voltage discharge treatment needs to enter the next coating link as soon as possible, so that the metal foil, particularly the aluminum foil, is prevented from being oxidized into aluminum oxide after being exposed in the air, and the internal resistance characteristic is prevented from being influenced.
The invention adopts ceramic electrodes with the length of 600mm-1200mm, the average power loaded on each electrode is 1-2kW, the voltage frequency is 10-20KHz, the gap between the electrode and the metal foil is 2-4mm, the feeding speed of the metal foil is 50m/min-180m/min, the diameter of the high-voltage discharge roller is 320mm, 4-12 electrodes are arranged on each high-voltage discharge roller 85, and 4-12 high-voltage discharge rollers 85 with half positive and negative sides are arranged on the whole coating machine. The discharge power, the number of electrodes, the material conveying speed and the diameter of the sprayed carbon particles are related, and under the condition of determined structure, the discharge power can be adjusted to meet the spraying requirements of carbon particles with different material conveying speeds and different sizes.
The results of measuring the surface tension by brushing dyne water on the surface of the aluminum foil before and after the high-pressure treatment, observing the surface of the material by a microscope and measuring the internal resistance of the product after carbon coating show that:
(1) the aluminum foil after high-voltage discharge treatment generates pits and salient points with the average size of about 50 nm-1000 nm on the surface under the observation of a microscope, the size of the pits and the salient points is basically equivalent to that of coated graphene, and the sizes of the pits and the salient points can be changed by changing the voltage applied to electrodes so as to be suitable for graphene materials with different diameters.
The mechanism of the generation of the pits and the salient points is not known at present, but the pits generated by thermal ablation and plasma impact generated by high-voltage electric arc or the action of ozone and oxygen atoms generated by oxygen ionization are only guessed to reduce the original aluminum oxide with compact aluminum foil surface into aluminum which is not compact any more, and then the aluminum foil is in a pit structure under a microscope, and the two actions can be combined with each other.
(2) The surface tension of the aluminum foil without high-voltage discharge treatment and the aluminum foil subjected to high-voltage discharge treatment was increased from an average of 10gf to 50gf by 5 times as measured by brushing dyne water.
(3) The internal resistance of the carbon-coated aluminum foil product prepared by the same process and the same equipment is reduced to be more than 1/3 of the product without high-voltage discharge treatment, the internal resistance is close to zero under the limit condition, and the charge-discharge characteristics of the battery are obviously improved.

In a balanced state, when the swing link 707 is vertically downward, F1 and F2+ F3 keep moment balance, then the resistance parameter of the potentiometer 709 is recorded as R, once the tension of the metal foil 5 is suddenly increased, that is, F2+ F3 is increased, the moment balance on the swing link 707 is broken, the swing link 707 rotates counterclockwise around the rotating shaft, deviates from the vertical position, and after the angle of the big gear and the small gear is amplified, the resistance R of the potentiometer 709 changes, if the resistance R is increased, the control hub 710 adjusts the input electrical parameter of the motor 702 according to the increase amplitude of the resistance R, so that the output rotating speed of the motor 702 is increased, the rotating speed of the active roller 701 is increased, at the moment of increase, more metal foils 5 are released onto the swing roller 708, the swing roller 708 can overcome the action of F2 and F3 under the pulling force of F1 and restore to the balanced position, the resistance of the potentiometer 709 returns to R, the control hub 710 can drive the output rotating speed of the motor 702 to the normal parameter, thereby keeping the tension of the metal foil constant.
