本申请引用于2023年09月15日递交的名称为“烘箱及涂布装置”的第2023225074850号中国专利申请,其通过引用被全部并入本申请。
技术领域
本申请涉及电池生产设备领域,特别是涉及一种烘箱及涂布装置。
背景技术
在电动汽车领域,动力电池作为电动汽车的动力源,起着不可替代的重要作用。电池由箱体和容纳于箱体内的多个电池单体构成,电池单体是由正极极片、负极极片和隔膜通过卷绕或者叠片等方式组装成电极组件(裸电芯),之后装入外壳,再注入电解液后得到的。其中,极片在生产过程中需要经过涂布工艺,即在极片的集流体上涂覆活性物质层,以在集流体的一侧形成涂覆区,当涂覆完成后需要对其进行干燥,以获得所需的极片。
可是目前的极片在干燥过程中容易出现卷翘、开裂的现象,降低了极片的生产效率。
发明内容
鉴于上述问题,本申请提供一种烘箱及涂布装置,能够改善极片在干燥过程中出现卷翘、开裂等的问题。
根据本申请的一个方面,本申请提供了一种烘箱,用于对待烘干件进行加热,该烘箱包括箱体和多个加热辊。全部加热辊中,至少有两个相邻的加热辊能够相对箱体反向转动,多个加热辊沿第一方向间隔分布于箱体内,全部加热辊共同承托并引导待烘干件沿第一方向走带,加热辊和待烘干件之间形成包角a,包角a满足:30°≤a≤180°。
本申请实施例的技术方案中,因为加热辊和极片为接触式加热,而且将极片的走带路径设置为类似于波浪形,所以可提高位于相邻两个加热辊之间的极片的张力,以对极片产生一定的束缚力,可降低极片在干燥后产生干燥应力并收缩体积的概率,进而降低了极片产生卷翘并开裂的概率。
在一些实施例中,加热辊的内部形成有第一中空腔,加热辊与箱体转动连接,加热辊的表面用于张紧待烘干件,第一中空腔用于接入外部换热介质流路。
如此设置,可提高加热辊各部位的热量的恒定性,以对极片各部位进行均匀加热。
在一些实施例中,烘箱还包括张紧辊,各加热辊配备有至少一个张紧辊,张紧辊和加热辊反向转动,加热辊和张紧辊均用于引导极片。
在加热辊旁设置张紧辊,增加张紧辊可增加极片和加热辊之间的接触面积,从而增大极片和加热辊之间所形成的包角,以进一步提高位于相邻两个加热辊之间的极片的张力,以对极片产生一定的束缚力,可降低极片在干燥后产生干燥应力并收缩体积的概率,进而降低了极片产生卷翘并开裂的概率。
在一些实施例中,张紧辊的直径小于加热辊的直径。
将张紧辊的直径设置为小于加热辊的直径,可提高极片和加热辊之间的接触面积,从而适当增加极片和加热辊之间所形成的包角。
在一些实施例中,沿第一方向,各加热辊的两侧均配备一个张紧辊,加热辊和待烘干件之间形成包角,包角小于等于180°。
如此,可最大化的提高极片和加热辊之间所形成的包角,从而提高位于相邻两个加热部之间的极片的张力,以降低极片出现贴附于加热辊上不容易脱落或者极片出现卷翘的现象。
在一些实施例中,全部加热辊包括进料加热辊和出料加热辊,进料加热辊位于箱体的进料端,出料加热辊位于箱体的出料端,进料加热辊和出料加热辊均配备有一个张紧辊,进料加热辊的张紧辊和出料加热辊的张紧辊相向设置;
其余加热辊在沿第一方向的两侧均配备一个张紧辊,加热辊和待烘干件之间形成包角,包角小于等于180°。
如此,极片所受的张力较大,可降低出现贴附于加热辊上不容易脱落或者极片出现卷翘的现象。
在一些实施例中,张紧辊的内部形成有第二中空腔,张紧辊的表面用于张紧待烘干件,第二中空腔用于接入外部换热介质流路。
可提高张紧辊各部位的热量的恒定性,以对极片各部位进行均匀加热。其中,张紧辊和加热辊可同时对极片进行加热,可加快对极片的加热速度。
在一些实施例中,相邻两个加热辊之间的间距为L,满足:400mm≤L<1400mm。
可通过调节相邻两个加热辊之间的间距,来调节极片的张力,以降低极片在干燥过程中发生卷翘的概率。
在一些实施例中,烘箱还包括送风件,送风件设于烘箱的内壁,而且送风件的送风口朝向加热辊所在的方向设置。
当加热辊对极片进行加热时,从送风件排出的热风可吹向极片,以进行加热辊为主送风件为辅的加热方式,从而加快极片的加热效率。
在一些实施例中,烘箱还包括第一安装部和第二安装部,加热辊设于第一安装部和第二安装部之间,第一安装部和第二安装部中的至少一者设有送风件。
上述设置,扩大了送风件能够安装的位置,丰富了烘箱内部结构的多样性。
在一些实施例中,第一安装部设置的送风件和第二安装部设置的送风件交错设置。可 同时对极片进行多方位的加热,以加快对极片的加热速度。
在一些实施例中,烘箱还包括水分检测仪,箱体包括进料端和出料端,进料端和出料端沿第一方向相对设置,加热辊位于进料端和出料端之间,水分检测仪设于进料端背离出料端的一侧。
当极片所含的水分超过预设值时,烘箱会停止运行,以提醒用户待检测的极片的水分含量过高,用户需更换水分含量较低的极片。
在一些实施例中,烘箱还包括压平件,压平件设于进料端,压平件用于压平待烘干件。
当极片在进入加热辊所在的区域前,压平件可压平极片,以抚平极片的表面,降低极片的表面起皱的概率。
根据本申请的一个方面,本申请提供了一种涂布装置,其包括上述实施例中的烘箱。

本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容 量的单一的物理模块。例如,本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
为了满足不同的使用电力需求,电池可以包括多个电池单体,其中,多个电池单体之间可以串联或并联或混联,混联是指串联和并联的混合。电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。
电池单体是由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜通过卷绕或者叠片等方式组装成裸电芯,之后装入壳体,再注入电解液后组成的。在极片(正极极片和负极极片的统称)的生产制造过程中,需要对其进行干燥,当极片进入烘箱后,随着极片水分的降低,极片因干燥而收缩的部位会形成干燥应力,这种干燥应力释放导致极片在烘箱内部形成卷翘,出烘箱后极片的卷翘部位被过辊展平后容易开裂。
为了改善极片等待烘干件在进入烘箱后出现开裂、卷翘等问题,本申请一些实施例提供了一种烘箱,通过在烘箱的箱体内设置沿第一方向分布的多个加热辊,利用全部加热辊共同承托并引导待极片沿第一方向走带。因为相邻两个加热辊相对于箱体反向转动,而且极片和各加热辊之间所形成的包角较大,可对极片进行束缚,以降低在烘干过程中极片体积收缩的程度,并减小干燥应力的产生,从而降低了极片发生卷翘并开裂的概率。
本申请实施例提供的烘箱可以但不限用于对锂电池极片进行烘干或其他表面具有膜层且需要烘干的材料,下文以极片为待烘干件为例进行说明。
请参阅图1,本申请一些实施例提供了一种烘箱100,其可用于对待烘干件(如极片90)进行加热。该烘箱100包括箱体10和多个加热辊20。全部加热辊20中,至少有两个相邻的加热辊20能够相对箱体10反向转动,多个加热辊20沿第一方向X间隔分布于箱体10内,全部加热辊20共同承托并引导待烘干件沿第一方向X走带。加热辊20和待烘干件之间形成包角a,包角a满足:30°≤a≤180°。
箱体10的形状可以但不限于为六面体,箱体10内部可开设有沿第一方向X延伸的容腔。
加热辊20在使用的过程中,其表面能够产生热量,加热辊20的加热方式可以但不限于为电阻加热、电磁感应加热或者是向加热辊20内通入热油等来提高加热辊20表面的温度。相邻设置的两个加热辊20的转动方向相反,例如,沿第一方向X排布的加热辊20可按照顺时针和逆时针交替的方式依次转动。
如图1所示,箱体10可包括沿第一方向X相对设置的第一端和第二端。从第一端至第二端,箱体10内可依次分布多个间隔分布的加热辊20。为了便于说明极片90和加热辊20之间的配合方式,可将从第一端至第二端分布的加热辊20命名为第一加热辊、第二加热辊和 第三加热辊等等。
假设极片90从第一端向第二端走带,将极片90等放置于加热辊20上开始走带时,极片90先绕到第一加热辊的上方,再绕到第二加热辊的下方,再绕到第三加热辊的上方,如此反复,直至极片90被输送至第二端。换言之,极片90的走带路径类似于波浪形。当极片90绕道加热辊20的上方或下方时,极片90能够和加热辊20接触并形成包角,此处的包角指与加热辊20接触的极片90,其形成的圆弧形所对应的圆心角。
如图2所示,极片90被加热辊20引导走带时,极片90和加热辊20之间的两个接触端点分别为b和c。b和c相连所形成的圆弧对应的圆心角为a,即包角a。
因为加热辊20和极片90为接触式加热,而且将极片90的走带路径设置为类似于波浪形,所以可提高位于相邻两个加热辊20之间的极片90的张力,以对极片90产生一定的束缚力,可降低极片90在干燥后产生干燥应力并收缩体积的概率,进而降低了极片90产生卷翘并开裂的概率。
需要说明的是,上述烘箱100可单独使用也可配合普通烘箱100使用,示例性地,当极片90的失重率大于20%时,可使用普通烘箱100对极片90进行烘干。当极片90的失重率小于20%时,可使用本申请实施例所提供的烘箱100,可降低烘干后的极片90出现卷翘并开裂的概率。
请继续参阅图1,在一些实施例中,加热辊20的内部形成有第一中空腔(图中未示出),且与箱体10转动连接,加热辊20的表面用于张紧待烘干件,第一中空腔用于接入外部换热介质流路。
外部换热介质流路可以但不限于包括提供热油、热空气等热能量的供热源及管道等部件,供热源可通过管道与第一中空腔连通,以便为第一中空腔不断提供热源。
第一中空腔的一端与供热源连通,另一端可与储存件连通,当热油等流入第一中空腔后进行热交换后,可流出第一中空腔并进入储存件,以利用储存件储存热量下降的热油等物质。
在加热辊20工作时,热油可从第一中空腔的一端流入,在第一中空腔内进行热交换后,再从第一中空腔的另一端流出,如此反复,直至加热辊20停止运行。如此设置,可提高加热辊20各部位的热量的恒定性,以对极片90各部位进行均匀加热。
在其他实施例中,储存件设有加热设备并与外部换热介质流路相连通。如此,加热设备可对储存件内的冷却物进行加热,并将其重新输送至第一中空腔内进行热交换,以实现循环使用。
如图3所示,加热辊20可沿第一方向X交错设置,极片90和部分加热辊20之间所形成的包角可等于180°。
将包角控制在一定范围内,可避免包角过大或者过小。如果包角过大,就意味着极片 90和加热辊20之间的接触面积较多,极片90和加热辊20之间所产生的摩擦力较大,此时极片90有可能出现贴附于加热辊20上不容易脱落的现象。
如果包角过小,就意味着极片90和加热辊20之间的接触面积较少,极片90和加热辊20之间所产生的摩擦力较小,此时,位于相邻两个加热辊20之间的极片90的张力较小,极片90在干燥过程中产生干燥应力,并在干燥应力的作用下发生卷翘。
因此,将包角的控制在一定范围内,可使得极片90具有较适宜的张力,以降低极片90出现贴附于加热辊20上不容易脱落或者极片90出现卷翘的现象。
请参阅图4,在一些实施例中,烘箱100还包括张紧辊30,各加热辊20配备有至少一个张紧辊30,张紧辊30和加热辊20反向转动,加热辊20和张紧辊30均用于承托极片90。
张紧辊30和加热辊20平行设置,张紧辊30和加热辊20分别沿不同的方向转动,在一些示例中,如图4所示,沿第一方向X,各加热辊20的同一侧设有一个张紧辊30。在另一些示例中,如图5所示,沿第一方向X,加热辊20的两侧均设有一个张紧辊30。
因为极片90在经过加热辊20和张紧辊30时,其走带路径类似波浪形,所以相对于没有在加热辊20旁设置张紧辊30,增加张紧辊30可增加极片90和加热辊20之间的接触面积,从而增大极片90和加热辊20之间所形成的包角,以进一步提高位于相邻两个加热辊20之间的极片90的张力,以对极片90产生一定的束缚力,可降低极片90在干燥后产生干燥应力并收缩体积的概率,进而降低了极片90产生卷翘并开裂的概率。
请继续参阅图5,在一些实施例中,张紧辊30的直径小于加热辊20的直径。
相对于将张紧辊30的直径设置为大于等于加热辊20的直径,本申请实施例将张紧辊30的直径设置为小于加热辊20的直径,可提高极片90和加热辊20之间的接触面积,从而增加极片90和加热辊20之间所形成的包角。
综上,将张紧辊30的直径设置为小于加热辊20的直径,可提高极片90和加热辊20之间的接触面积,从而适当增加极片90和加热辊20之间所形成的包角。
请参阅图5,在一些实施例中,沿第一方向X,各加热辊20的两侧均配备一个张紧辊30,加热辊20和待烘干件之间形成包角,包角小于等于180°。
示例性地,如图5所示,将极片90放置于加热辊20进行走带时,将加热辊20配备两个张紧辊30看做一组加热部,以其中一组加热部为例,极片90的走带路径大致呈波浪形,极片90依次绕过第一张紧辊30、加热辊20和第二张紧辊30。此时,极片90和加热辊20之间所形成的包角能够尽可能的接近180°。
如此反复,极片90在各组加热部中的走带路径相同,即,各加热辊20和极片90之间所形成的包角相等。
上述方案,可最大化的提高极片90和加热辊20之间所形成的包角,从而提高位于相邻两个加热部之间的极片90的张力,以降低极片90出现贴附于加热辊20上不容易脱落或者 极片90出现a卷翘的现象。
请参阅图6,在一些实施例中,全部加热辊20包括进料加热辊20a和出料加热辊20b,进料加热辊20a位于箱体10的进料端11,出料加热辊20b位于箱体10的出料端12,进料加热辊20a和出料加热辊20b均配备有一个张紧辊30,进料加热辊20a的张紧辊30和出料加热辊20b的张紧辊30相向设置;其余加热辊20在沿第一方向X的两侧均配备一个张紧辊30,加热辊20和待烘干件之间形成包角,包角小于等于180°。
示例性地,如图6所示,箱体10的进料端11和出料端12可沿第一方向X分布,将最靠近进料端11的加热辊20看做进料加热辊20a,将最靠近出料端12的加热辊20看做出料加热辊20b。进料加热辊20a和出料加热辊20b均配备有一个张紧辊30,其余加热辊20则均可配备两个张紧辊30。将极片90放置于加热辊20进行走带时,极片90的走带路径大致呈波浪状。此时,各加热辊20和极片90之间所形成的包角大致等于180°,极片90所受的张力较大,可降低出现贴附于加热辊20上不容易脱落或者极片90出现卷翘的现象。
在一些实施例中,张紧辊30可仅具备传输作用,也可同时具备传输和加热作用。
当张紧辊30同时具备传输和加热作用时,张紧辊30的内部形成有第二中空腔,张紧辊30的表面用于张紧待烘干件,第二中空腔用于接入外部换热介质流路。
在张紧辊30工作时,热油可从第二中空腔的一端流入,在第二中空腔内进行热交换后,再从第二中空腔的另一端流出,如此反复,直至张紧辊30停止运行。如此设置,可提高张紧辊30各部位的热量的恒定性,以对极片90各部位进行均匀加热。其中,张紧辊30和加热辊20可同时对极片90进行加热,可加快对极片90的加热速度。
在一些实施例中,相邻两个加热辊20之间的间距为L,满足:400毫米(mm)≤L<1400毫米(mm)。
如图6所示,L是指相邻两个加热辊20的辊面之间的最短距离。
示例性地,如图6所示,各加热辊20均配备有张紧辊30,相邻两个加热辊20对应的张紧辊30之间的间距为200mm,各加热辊20和极片90之间所形成的包角为180°。此时,可利用加热辊20来控制扭矩从而控制极片90的张力,以使得极片90的束缚力较大,可降低极片90发生干燥卷翘的概率。
在另一些示例中,如图7所示,沿第一方向X,相邻两个加热辊20之间的间距为500mm,各加热辊20和极片90之间所形成的包角为45°。当加热辊20加热到200℃时,极片90在烘箱100内移动5m后,所得到的极片90的失重率可降低到1%,而且极片90在烘箱100内平整无卷翘。
如此,可通过调节相邻两个加热辊20之间的间距,来调节极片90的张力,以降低极片90在干燥过程中发生卷翘的概率。
请参阅图7,在一些实施例中,烘箱100还包括送风件40,送风件40设于烘箱100 的内壁,而且送风件40的送风口朝向加热辊20所在的方向设置。
送风件40可为设置于烘箱100内的风嘴,其与加热辊20之间的数量的关系可为一一对应,或者多于加热辊20。
当加热辊20对极片90进行加热时,从送风件40排出的热风可吹向极片90,以进行加热辊20为主送风件40为辅的加热方式,从而加快极片90的加热效率。
请参阅图7,在一些实施例中,烘箱100还包括第一安装部50和第二安装部60,加热辊20设于第一安装部50和第二安装部60之间,第一安装部50和第二安装部60中的至少一者设有送风件40。
第一安装部50和第二安装部60均可沿第一方向X延伸设置,第一安装部50和第二安装部60间隔设置,两者之间预留有供极片90走带的空间。送风件40的设置位置可根据实际情况确定,例如,在一些示例中,第一安装部50或者第二安装部60安装有送风件40。在另一些示例中,第一安装部50和第二安装部60均设有送风件40。
上述设置,扩大了送风件40能够安装的位置,丰富了烘箱100内部结构的多样性。
具体到一些实施例,第一安装部50设置的送风件40和第二安装部60设置的送风件40交错设置。
例如,第一安装部50上的送风件40的送风口可朝向加热辊20设置,第二安装部60上的送风件40的送风口可朝向相邻两个加热辊20之间的区域设置。如此,可同时对极片90进行多方位的加热,以加快对极片90的加热速度。
请继续参阅图7,在一些实施例中,烘箱100还包括水分检测仪70,箱体10包括进料端11和出料端12,进料端11和出料端12沿第一方向X相对设置,加热辊20位于进料端11和出料端12之间,水分检测仪70设于进料端11背离出料端12的一侧。
当极片90在进入加热辊20所在的区域前,能够先经过水分检测仪70,水分检测仪70能够对极片90内部的水分进行检测,当极片90所含的水分超过预设值时,烘箱100会停止运行,以提醒用户待检测的极片90的水分含量过高,用户需更换水分含量较低的极片90。
请参阅图7,在一些实施例中,烘箱100还包括压平件80,压平件80设于进料端11,压平件80用于压平待烘干件。
压片件可为展平辊,其可设置于水分检测仪70背离出料端12的一侧,当极片90在进入加热辊20所在的区域前,压平件80可压平极片90,以抚平极片90的表面,降低极片90的表面起皱的概率。
此外,本申请一些实施例还提供了一种涂布装置。该涂布装置包括上述任一实施例提供的烘箱100。关于烘箱100可参见上文记载的相关内容。
请参阅图7,在一具体的示例中,箱体10包括沿第一方向X分布的进料端11和出料端12,箱体10的内部设有沿第一方向X间隔分布的送风件40及加热辊20,相邻两个加热 辊20之间的间距为500mm。其中,箱体10内还设有水分检测仪70和压平件80,水分检测仪70位于进料端11的加热辊20附近,压平件80位于水分检测仪70背离出料端12的一侧。
当极片90进入箱体10时,极片90先经过压平件80并被其压平,以减少极片90表面所形成的褶皱。随后,极片90可被水分检测仪70检测,当极片90所含的水分高于预设的水分时,烘箱100停止运行,以提醒用户更换水分含量更低的极片90。当极片90满足需求时,极片90继续向前走带进入加热辊20所在的区域,极片90和加热辊20之间所形成的包角为45°,加热辊20和送风件40能够同时对极片90进行加热,直至极片90从出料端12排出。
因为极片90和加热辊20之间所形成的包角较大,所以可提高极片90的张力,降低极片90在干燥过程中出现卷翘并开裂的概率。
以上所述实施例的各技术特征可以进行任意的组合,为使描述简洁,未对上述实施例中的各个技术特征所有可能的组合都进行描述,然而,只要这些技术特征的组合不存在矛盾,都应当认为是本说明书记载的范围。
以上所述实施例仅表达了本申请的几种实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对申请专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形和改进,这些都属于本申请的保护范围。因此,本申请专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
