Description

Coating back roller and pole piece preparation system
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of batteries, in particular to a coating back roller and pole piece preparation system.
Background
In the field of batteries, a slurry coating method is generally adopted to prepare a pole piece of the battery. The slurry migrates to the uncoated areas of the slurry layer edges due to surface tension. Thus, after the pole piece dries, the migrating slurry will cause the slurry layer to have a greater edge thickness than the middle region, a phenomenon commonly referred to as "bead effect" during pole piece fabrication.
In the rolling process of the pole piece, the thick edge effect can lead to stress concentration at the edge position of the slurry layer, and the service life and safety of the battery are affected. Secondly, after the pole piece with the thick edge effect defect is rolled and pressed, a serious warping phenomenon can occur, and the cutting and winding process flow of the follow-up pole piece can be influenced. In addition, the thick side effect can also cause the cathode capacity at the edge position to exceed the specification after the cathode pole piece of the prepared lithium ion battery is assembled into the battery core, and lithium is easy to be separated from the anode region corresponding to the edge of the cathode mould region in the charging process.
In order to eliminate the thick edge effect, the slurry layer at the edge of the pole piece is thinned by arranging an external thinning device.

The excellent high energy density and high power density of the lithium ion battery endow the lithium ion battery with longer endurance and stronger instantaneous output capability, and meets the requirements of the fields of electric automobiles, consumer electronics, energy storage systems and the like. Under the pushing of environmental protection policy, the lithium ion battery is in great variety in the new energy automobile industry due to the characteristic of low carbon emission, the market share is continuously increased, and the market demand is also continuously increased.
The lithium ion battery generally adopts a slurry coating method to prepare the electrode plate. Positive and negative active materials (e.g., lithium cobaltate, lithium manganate, lithium iron phosphate, or graphite, etc.) are mixed with binders (e.g., polyvinylidene fluoride, PVDF, etc.), conductive agents (e.g., carbon black, etc.) in proportion, and the above powdery substances are uniformly dispersed and stirred into slurry using a solvent to prepare a slurry. The prepared slurry is coated on a current collector film to form an electrode. The current collector film coated with the slurry is dried by a drying box or a hot air drying tunnel, so that a firmly attached coating layer is formed on the current collector.
In order to solve the problem that the thickness of the edge of a coating layer after a pole piece is dried is greater than the thick edge effect of the thickness of a middle area, the scheme designs a coating back roller with radial dimension difference in the surface area, and utilizes the physical characteristics that the surface of a current collector film can be attached to the coating back roller and matched with the shape of the outer surface of the coating back roller, so that the current collector film is molded into the shape of an inverted trapezoid with the middle part low and the two sides high along the axial direction of the coating back roller corresponding to the position of the coating slurry before the coating slurry is coated, when the current collector film is attached to the coating back roller, the section of the coating layer formed by the slurry also presents the shape of the inverted trapezoid along the axial direction of the coating back roller at the beginning, and as the slurry on the two sides of the coating layer is less than the slurry in the middle part at the beginning, the direction of the coating layer along the axial direction A of the coating back roller presents the shape of the middle part thick (namely the middle part high) and the two sides thin (namely the two sides low) after the current collector film is flattened, and finally the effect that the edge of the coating layer of the pole piece is thinned is achieved.
The coated backing roll was used for pole piece preparation. The electrode sheet is a key component inside the battery and is divided into a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet. The positive electrode plate is used for participating in oxidation reaction in the discharging process, and the negative electrode plate is used for participating in reduction reaction in the charging process. The positive and negative pole pieces can be strip pole pieces. The electrode sheet is composed of a composite material (slurry 400 in the present application) formed by mixing a current collector film (current collector film 500 in the present application) with an active material, a conductive agent, and a binder coated thereon. The composite material is used to form an electrode.
The pole piece preparation system comprises a coating back roller and a coating die head. The coated backing roll is used to carry and transport the current collector film of the pole piece. The coating die is used to apply a paste to the current collector film and generally includes spacers protruding in a direction approaching the coating back roll, a paste outlet is provided between adjacent two spacers, and the paste is output from the paste outlet and applied to the current collector film.
According to some embodiments of the present application, a coated backing roll 100 for pole piece preparation is provided. The coating back roll 100 includes a back roll body 110. The back roll body 110 includes a first die section roll segment 111, a second die section roll segment 112, and a third die section roll segment 113 arranged in the axial direction a. The radial dimension of the third mold section roll segment 113 is greater than the radial dimension of the first mold section roll segment 111. The second die section roller section 112 connects the first die section roller section 111 and the third die section roller section 113, and gradually increases in radial dimension from the first die section roller section 111 to the third die section roller 13.
As shown in fig. 1, the axial direction a in the drawing is the axial direction of the coating back roller 100.
The first and third mold section roll segments 111, 113 are each cylindrical in space. The second mold section roll segment 112 is spatially frustoconical.
The coating back roll 100 may comprise a plurality of first die section roll segments 111, for example 3 first die section roll segments 111 as shown in fig. 1, or the coating back roll 100 may comprise only one first die section roll segment 111.
There may be 1 third die section roll segment 1 between two adjacent first die section roll segments 111. The total length of the coating back roll 100 is not limited and can be designed comprehensively according to the production requirements and the size of the work site.
By setting the radial dimension of the third die section roller section 113 to be larger than the radial dimension of the first die section roller section 111 and setting the radial dimension of the second die section roller section 112 connecting the first die section roller section 111 and the third die section roller section 113 to be gradually increased from the first die section roller section 111 to the third die section roller section 113, a space shape which makes the middle of the coating layer of the coating paste thick and both sides thin can be formed at a position corresponding to the paste coating, and the problem of the thick side effect at the time of paste coating can be effectively avoided. This is advantageous for pole pieces prepared using a slurry coating process.
According to some embodiments of the application, optionally, the coating back roll 100 further comprises an adjusting device. The adjustment device is configured to change a size of at least one of the first, second, and third die section roll segments 111, 112, 113.
It should be appreciated that the adjustment means of the coating back roll 100 may vary the size of at least one of the first, second and third die section roll segments 111, 112, 113, for example, may include varying the width or radial size of at least one of the die section roll segments. For example, the adjustment device may change the radial dimension of the second die section roll segment 112 and simultaneously change the diameter of the third die section roll segment 113 without changing the width. For another example, the adjustment device may change the radial dimension of the second mold section roll segment 112 and simultaneously change the diameter and width of the third mold section roll segment 113. For another example, the adjustment device may only change the width of the second mold section roll segment 112, or the adjustment device may only change the width of the third mold section roll segment 113.
By providing an adjustment means to change the radial dimension or width of at least one of the first, second and third die section roll segments 111, 112, 113, a change in the shape of the outer surface of the coated backing roll 100 can be achieved, thereby effecting an adjustment of the thickness and width of the coating layer or coating layer portion region of the pole piece.
According to some embodiments of the application, optionally, the adjusting means are provided inside said back roller body 110.
With further reference to fig. 2, the second and third mold section roll segments 112, 113 have cavities therein in which the adjustment means are disposed.
The second and third die section roller segments 112 and 113 have cavities therein, and the adjusting device is disposed in the cavities, which is advantageous in preventing the adjusting device from contacting the outside, and preventing moist air or external impurities from entering the coating back roller 100 and damaging the adjusting device. The adjusting process of the adjusting device on at least one of the first mold area roller section 111, the second mold area roller section 112 and the third mold area roller section 113 is completed in the back roller main body 110, and the adjusting process and the pole piece coating process of the adjusting device outside the back roller main body 110 are independent, so that the adjusting process of the adjusting device and the pole piece coating process are not affected.
According to some embodiments of the application, optionally, the adjusting means is in driving connection with at least one of the first, second and third die section roll sections 111, 112, 113. The adjustment means may drive displacement and/or deformation of at least one of the first, second and third die section roll segments 111, 112, 113 relative to the other die section roll segments to change the size of at least one of the first, second and third die section roll segments 111, 112, 113.
The adjusting device is in driving connection with at least one of the first mold area roller section 111, the second mold area roller section 112 and the third mold area roller section 113 so as to change the size of at least one of the first mold area roller section 111, the second mold area roller section 112 and the third mold area roller section 113, thereby being beneficial to realizing the accurate control of pole piece preparation, improving the flexibility and compatibility of pole piece preparation of the coating back roller 100 and reducing the cost of replacing the whole coating back roller 100 due to different production requirements.
In some embodiments, the adjustment device can drive the displacement of the first mold section roll segment 111 relative to the third mold section roll segment 113 and change the width of the third mold section roll segment 113. For example, referring to fig. 1, the coating back roll 100 has a plurality of first pattern roll segments 111, with reference to one of the third pattern roll segments 113, the adjusting device drives the first pattern roll segment 111 located at the left side of the third pattern roll segment 113 to move leftward, simultaneously drives the first pattern roll segment 111 located at the right side of the third pattern roll segment 113 to move rightward, and maintains the second pattern roll segment 112 stationary with respect to the first pattern roll segment 111, at which time the width of the third pattern roll segment 113 increases.

The backing roll body 110 includes a first die section roll segment 111, a second die section roll segment 112, and a third die section roll segment 113, and the deformable sleeve 114 coating the backing roll 100 forms the body portions of the first and second die section roll segments 111, 112.
Hereinafter, for convenience of description, positions of the pole piece corresponding to the pole pieces prepared by the first, second and third mold section roll sections 111, 112 and 113 are referred to as a normal mold section, a thinning section and a tab section, respectively.
One or both ends of the deformable sleeve 114 are connected to adjacent first mold section roll segments 111, with the outer surfaces of the deformable sleeve 114 forming the outer surfaces of the second mold section roll segments 112 and the third mold section roll segments 113.

Rotation of the motor control screw 1211 moves the first mold section roll segment 111 in the axial direction a.
The second adjustment portion includes 8 support plates 1223 that may be shaped around a circular table and a support plate adjustment mechanism. The support plate adjusting mechanism includes a second driving device M2, moving members 1221 and 8 support rods as rotating members 1222, which are respectively located at both sides of the second driving device M2. The moving member 1221 is a moving sleeve and is sleeved on the core bar 130, and the second driving device M2 is a linear motor. The plurality of support rods are uniformly distributed on the radial outer side of the movable sleeve along the circumferential direction, one end of each support rod is hinged on the movable sleeve, and the other end of each support rod is hinged on one end, far away from the first mold area roller section 111, of the corresponding support plate 1223. The linear motor drives the moving sleeve to move to one side away from the first mold section roll section 111, so that the angle θ between the support rod and the moving sleeve is increased, one end of the support plate 1223, which is far away from the first mold section roll section 111, moves toward the direction away from the moving sleeve, the gap between one ends of the adjacent support plates 1223, which are far away from the first mold section roll section 111, is enlarged, the radial dimension of the second mold section roll section 112 is increased, and at the same time, the support plate 1223 pulls the deformable sleeve 114 to increase the width of the third mold section roll section 113, so that the thickness of the thinned region is reduced and the width is reduced, and the width of the tab region is increased. If the tab area width is desired to be unchanged, the first adjusting portion may be driven to move the first mold area roller sections 111 at both sides inward.

In this embodiment, the first guide structure is a guide rod 131 disposed on the core rod 130, and the second guide structure is a guide hole 111A disposed on the first mold section roll segment 111. By the sliding fit between the guide bar 131 and the guide hole 111A, the first die section roller segment 111 is moved leftward or rightward in the axial direction a by the drive of the first adjusting portion, and since the guide bar 131 and the guide hole 111A are eccentrically disposed with respect to the axis of the coating back roller 100, the first die section roller segment 111 does not rotate with respect to the core bar 130 due to the torque generated by the screw connection.

When coating, the coating die 300 is opposite to the coating back roll 100, and the current collector film 500 is located between the coating die 300 and the coating back roll 100. The slurry 400 flows out of the slurry outlet 320 of the coating die 300 and is supported on the current collector film 500. The thickness of the slurry 400 coated on the surface of the current collector film 500 may also be controlled by controlling the distance between the current collector film 500 and the coating die 300. The pole piece prepared by the coating back roller 100 has the thinning area with the distance from the slurry outlet 320 gradually reduced from the side close to the normal mold area to the side close to the tab area, and the thickness of the formed slurry coating layer gradually reduced, so that the effect of thinning the edge of the pole piece is achieved.
After the coating is completed, the pole piece is stretched on the transfer roller 600 by the action of the tape-feeding traction force, gradually extends in the width direction, and the current collector film 500 becomes flat, thereby obtaining a pole piece with a flat bottom and thick middle and thin sides of the coating layer.
