In addition, the stirring device of the present invention employs a method in which the solid component of the stirring target is input from the first charging port and the non-solid component of the stirring target is charged from the second charging port.

Thereby, it becomes possible to reduce the cost at the time of manufacturing the coating material for battery electrodes.
As described above, it is possible to efficiently produce an electrode paint suitable for improving the performance of a battery while maintaining the safety of the battery at a high level.

また、特許文献1に開示された攪拌装置システムを用いて導電材を含む電池電極用塗料を製造する場合、極まれであるが、予備攪拌工程において生成した導電材の凝集物が分散されずにそのまま電池電極用塗料に混入するという問題が生じるが、本発明の電池電極用塗料製造用の攪拌装置を用いて電池電極用塗料を製造すると、上記問題の発生を抑制することができ、さらに長期に亘って導電材の再凝集が抑制される。

For this reason, a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery used as a power source for electric vehicles is used in a state where a plurality of batteries are connected in series in order to obtain an appropriate voltage, one of which However, if there is an electrode defect, it is suitable as a stirring device for producing a coating material for a battery electrode that requires extremely high safety so as to increase the risk of ignition and the like.

本発明のその他の特徴および利点は、添付図面を参照して以下に行う詳細な説明によって、より明らかとなろう。   Other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

本発明に係る攪拌装置の一実施形態を示す外観斜視図である。It is an external appearance perspective view which shows one Embodiment of the stirring apparatus which concerns on this invention. 図1に示す攪拌装置の断面図である。It is sectional drawing of the stirring apparatus shown in FIG. 従来の塗料製造装置の全体構成図である。It is a whole block diagram of the conventional coating-material manufacturing apparatus.

以下、本発明の好ましい実施の形態につき、図面を参照して具体的に説明する。図1〜2は、本発明に係る攪拌装置の一実施形態を示している。   Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a stirring device according to the present invention.

図1及び2に示すように、本発明の攪拌装置1は、容器2と、この容器2の中心を垂直方向に延びる回転軸8を中心として高速回転する回転部材31,41とを有する。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the stirring device 1 of the present invention includes a container 2 and rotating members 31 and 41 that rotate at high speed around a rotation shaft 8 that extends in the vertical direction about the center of the container 2.

上記容器2は、略円筒状の内壁面を有して上下方向に所定長さを有する円筒状空間を規定している。 回転軸8は、これに接続された高トルクモータ(図示せず)によって高速回転させられ、これに伴って回転部材31,41も高速で回転する。   The container 2 defines a cylindrical space having a substantially cylindrical inner wall surface and having a predetermined length in the vertical direction. The rotating shaft 8 is rotated at a high speed by a high torque motor (not shown) connected thereto, and the rotating members 31 and 41 are also rotated at a high speed.

回転部材31,41は、容器2の内壁面に対して1〜3mm程度のわずかな隙間を介して対向する外周面を有する円筒部材の形態をもっている。 The rotating members 31 and 41 have the form of a cylindrical member having an outer peripheral surface facing the inner wall surface of the container 2 with a slight gap of about 1 to 3 mm.

本発明の攪拌装置1に攪拌対象が供給されると、高速回転する回転部材31,41による遠心力を受けて、攪拌対象が容器2の内壁面に押し付けられ、回転部材31,41の外周面と、容器2の内壁面との間の隙間に行き渡り膜状となる。
さらに、膜状となった攪拌対象は、回転部材31,41の回転に伴って容器内を高速で回転する。
When the stirring target is supplied to the stirring device 1 of the present invention, the stirring target is pressed against the inner wall surface of the container 2 due to the centrifugal force of the rotating members 31 and 41 rotating at high speed, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the rotating members 31 and 41. And a gap between the inner wall surface of the container 2 and a film shape.
Furthermore, the stirring target that has become a film rotates in the container at a high speed as the rotating members 31 and 41 rotate.

以上により、膜状となった攪拌対象が、回転する回転部材31,41の外周面と、静止する容器2の内壁面との間で強大な剪断力を受け続け、その強大なエネルギーによって高レベルでの分散が攪拌対象に対して施される。 As described above, the stirring target in the form of a film continues to receive a strong shearing force between the outer peripheral surface of the rotating rotating members 31 and 41 and the inner wall surface of the stationary container 2, and the high level of energy is obtained by the strong energy. The dispersion at is applied to the object to be stirred.

また、上記回転部材31,41の外周面及び上記容器2の内壁面のそれぞれには、図示しない所定の間隔で配列する溝、ディンプルまたは突起が形成され、これによって凹凸が形成されている。 In addition, grooves, dimples, or protrusions arranged at predetermined intervals (not shown) are formed on the outer peripheral surfaces of the rotating members 31 and 41 and the inner wall surface of the container 2, thereby forming irregularities.

また、本発明の攪拌装置1は、容器2の内部が上下方向に複数の分散槽3,4に区画されており、分散槽3,4には、それぞれ回転部材31及び41が収容されている。
回転部材31及び41は、共に回転軸8に接続されており、それぞれが一体となって高速で回転する。
Further, in the stirring device 1 of the present invention, the interior of the container 2 is partitioned into a plurality of dispersion tanks 3 and 4 in the vertical direction, and rotating members 31 and 41 are accommodated in the dispersion tanks 3 and 4, respectively. .
The rotating members 31 and 41 are both connected to the rotating shaft 8 and rotate together at high speed.

容器上方側に位置する第1の分散槽3には、攪拌対象を構成する固形成分を分散槽3に投入するための第1投入口とともに、攪拌対象を構成する液体を含む非固形成分(例えば、スラリー)を投入するための第2投入口が配置されている。
一方、容器下方側に位置する第2の分散槽4の下部には、上記固形成分と非固形成分を混合し、さらに分散処理した攪拌対象を容器から外部に排出するための排出口7が配置されている。
In the first dispersion tank 3 positioned on the upper side of the container, a non-solid component containing a liquid constituting the stirring target (for example, a first charging port for feeding the solid component constituting the stirring target into the dispersion tank 3) , Slurry) is disposed.
On the other hand, at the lower part of the second dispersion tank 4 located on the lower side of the container, there is disposed a discharge port 7 for mixing the solid component and the non-solid component and further discharging the agitated object to be dispersed from the container. Has been.

第1の分散槽3では、第1投入口及び第2投入口から投入された各成分が混合されるとともに、分散処理が施される。
第1の分散槽3で混合、分散処理された攪拌対象は、第1の分散槽3の下部に配置される連結口を介して第2の分散槽4に送られて、再度、分散処理が施される。
以上のようにして処理された攪拌対象は、排出口7から容器2の外に排出される。
In the 1st dispersion | distribution tank 3, while each component thrown in from the 1st charging port and the 2nd charging port is mixed, a dispersion process is performed.
The stirring target mixed and dispersed in the first dispersion tank 3 is sent to the second dispersion tank 4 through a connection port arranged at the lower part of the first dispersion tank 3, and the dispersion process is performed again. Applied.
The stirring target processed as described above is discharged out of the container 2 through the discharge port 7.

本願の発明者が、上記の攪拌装置によって処理された攪拌対象用いてリチウム二次電池用電極を作成し、これを評価したところ、特許文献1に示す高速攪拌装置を用いて作成した電極にくらべて、充填密度及び電気抵抗の点で改善がみられた。
また、本発明の攪拌装置1のように複数に区画された分散槽による多段処理を行う場合、単一の分散槽で処理を行う場合にくらべて、上記充填密度及び電気抵抗の改善がより顕著になることが確認された。
以上は、本発明の攪拌装置1が、電池の安全性を高度に維持しつつ、電池の高性能化に適した電極用塗料を効率的に製造することが可能であることを裏付けているといえる。
The inventor of the present application created an electrode for a lithium secondary battery using the stirring target processed by the stirring device described above, and evaluated it. Compared to the electrode created using the high-speed stirring device shown in Patent Document 1, Thus, improvements were observed in terms of packing density and electrical resistance.
Moreover, when performing the multistage process by the dispersion tank divided into several like the stirring apparatus 1 of this invention, compared with the case where it processes by a single dispersion tank, the improvement of the said filling density and an electrical resistance are more remarkable. It was confirmed that
The above confirms that the stirring device 1 of the present invention can efficiently produce a coating material for an electrode suitable for improving the performance of a battery while maintaining the safety of the battery at a high level. I can say that.

一方、図3に示すように、特許文献1に開示された攪拌装置システムを用いて導電材を含む電池電極用塗料を製造する場合、極まれに、予備攪拌工程において生成した導電材の凝集物が分散されずにそのまま電池電極用塗料に混入するという問題が生じるが、本発明の電池電極用塗料製造用の攪拌装置を用いて電池電極用塗料を製造すると、上記問題の発生を抑制することができ、しかもその抑制された状態が長期に亘って維持される。 上記については以下に詳述する。 On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, in the case of producing a battery electrode paint containing a conductive material using the stirring device system disclosed in Patent Document 1, in rare cases, the aggregate of the conductive material generated in the preliminary stirring step is generated. Although there is a problem that the battery electrode paint is mixed without being dispersed, if the battery electrode paint is produced using the stirring device for battery electrode paint production according to the present invention, the occurrence of the above problem can be suppressed. In addition, the suppressed state is maintained for a long time. The above will be described in detail below.

まず、特許文献1に開示された攪拌装置システムは、粉末と溶媒とを含む材料を混合し、スラリー状の塗料を製造するための装置であって、材料が投入されてこの材料をバッチ方式で予備攪拌する予備攪拌タンクと、予備攪拌タンクによって予備攪拌された中間材料が供給され、攪拌羽根によって中間材料を攪拌しつつ貯蔵する貯蔵タンクと、貯蔵タンク内の中間材料が連続的に供給され、容器と、この容器の内壁面のわずかに内側で高速回転する回転部材とを備え、回転部材による遠心力によって回転部材と内壁面との間に膜状に存在させた中間材料を連続攪拌する高速攪拌機と、高速攪拌機で得られた攪拌済み材料が供給され、攪拌羽根で攪拌しつつ攪拌済み材料の真空脱泡処理を行う処理タンクと、処理タンクで真空脱泡処理された材料を塗料として塗装工程に移送する移送手段とを備えている。 First, the stirrer system disclosed in Patent Document 1 is an apparatus for producing a slurry-like paint by mixing a material containing powder and a solvent, and the material is charged in a batch system. A pre-stirring tank for pre-stirring, an intermediate material pre-stirred by the pre-stirring tank is supplied, a storage tank for storing the intermediate material with stirring blades while stirring, and an intermediate material in the storage tank are continuously supplied, A high-speed apparatus that continuously includes a container and a rotating member that rotates at a high speed slightly inside the inner wall surface of the container, and continuously stirs the intermediate material that exists between the rotating member and the inner wall surface by centrifugal force generated by the rotating member. A stirrer, a processing tank that supplies the stirred material obtained by the high-speed stirrer, performs vacuum defoaming processing of the stirred material while stirring with a stirring blade, and a material that has been vacuum defoamed in the processing tank The and a transfer means for transferring the coating process as a paint.

上記予備攪拌タンク100は、上記高速攪拌機300において材料を本格攪拌するに先立ち、材料をある程度混合させておくために設置される。この実施形態では、垂直状の回転軸101周りに高速回転する小径の攪拌羽根102と、同じく垂直状の回転軸103周りに低速回転する大径の攪拌羽根104とを備えており、材料ホッパ120,130から投入された材料を溜めて、両攪拌羽根102,104を回転させることにより、この材料を予備攪拌する。小径の攪拌羽根102が高速回転することにより、材料を混合させ、大径の攪拌羽根104が回転することにより、材料全体をかき混ぜて混合状態を平均化する。 The preliminary stirring tank 100 is installed in order to mix the materials to some extent before the materials are fully stirred in the high speed stirrer 300. In this embodiment, a small-diameter stirring blade 102 that rotates at a high speed around a vertical rotation shaft 101 and a large-diameter stirring blade 104 that rotates at a low speed around a vertical rotation shaft 103 are provided, and a material hopper 120 is provided. , 130 and the stirring blades 102 and 104 are rotated to preliminarily stir the material. When the small-diameter stirring blade 102 rotates at a high speed, the materials are mixed, and when the large-diameter stirring blade 104 rotates, the entire material is stirred to average the mixed state.

しかしながら、上記予備攪拌タンク100を用いてリチウムイオン電池用活物質及び導電材のスラリーを含む中間材料を作製すると、極まれであるが、導電材の凝集物が中間材料中に生成することがある。この導電材の凝集物は、後工程である高速攪拌機による処理を行っても十分に除去できない場合があり、極めて高度な安全性が要求される電池の電極用塗料を製造するには、更なる改善が必要であった。   However, when an intermediate material containing a slurry of an active material for a lithium ion battery and a conductive material is prepared using the preliminary stirring tank 100, an aggregate of the conductive material may be generated in the intermediate material. This conductive material agglomerate may not be sufficiently removed even if it is processed by a high-speed stirrer, which is a subsequent process, and in order to produce a coating material for battery electrodes that require extremely high safety, further Improvement was needed.

これに対し、本発明の電池電極用塗料製造用の攪拌装置は、予備攪拌タンクによって材料全体をかき混ぜて混合状態を平均化した中間材料を作製する工程を経ることなく、リチウムイオン電池用活物質及び導電材のスラリーのそれぞれを攪拌装置に直接投入し、投入後ただちに、容器と、この容器の内壁面のわずかに内側で高速回転する回転部材との間において、回転部材による遠心力によって膜状となった状態で処理されるようにしている。また、膜状となった状態で処理される攪拌対象が対向する回転部材及び/又は容器内壁面には、所定の間隔で配列する溝、ディンプルまたは突起によって凹凸が形成されている。
以上の方式により、リチウムイオン電池用活物質及び導電材のスラリーを含む電池電極用塗料を作製すると、導電材の凝集物の生成を抑制することができ、さらに長期に亘って導電材の再凝集を抑制することができ、極めて高度な安全性が要求される電池に好適な電極用塗料を製造することができる。
In contrast, the stirrer for producing battery electrode paints of the present invention is a lithium ion battery active material that does not go through a step of preparing an intermediate material by mixing the whole material with a preliminary stirring tank and averaging the mixed state. Then, each of the slurry of the conductive material is directly put into the stirring device, and immediately after the addition, the film is formed between the container and the rotating member rotating at a high speed slightly inside the inner wall surface of the container by the centrifugal force by the rotating member. It will be processed in the state. Further, the rotating member and / or the inner wall surface of the container to be agitated to be processed in a film form are formed with irregularities by grooves, dimples or protrusions arranged at predetermined intervals.
By producing a battery electrode paint containing a lithium ion battery active material and a conductive material slurry by the above method, the formation of conductive material aggregates can be suppressed, and the conductive material can be re-agglomerated over a long period of time. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a coating material for an electrode suitable for a battery that requires extremely high safety.

なお、導電材としては、カーボンブラック、カーボンナノチューブ又はグラフェンのいずれかを使用することができる。   Note that as the conductive material, any of carbon black, carbon nanotube, or graphene can be used.
