Description

A kind of lithium battery coating process
Technical field
The present invention relates to the lithium ion battery field, especially a kind of coating process of high-quality electrodes of lithium-ion batteries.
Background technology
The lithium ion cell electrode diaphragm normally shifts through scraper and extruding is transferred to and accomplished on the base material.The Weight control of scraper transfer coated is through the gap between doctor roll and applicator roll, and the adjusting of the velocity ratio of applicator roll and back flow roll realization; The Weight control of extruding transfer coated is to realize through common adjusting of slit size of the pump speed of measuring pump and cutting die.
In the normal scraper transfer coated production process; Slurry is driven in the hopper through pipeline under the effect of air driven pump; Slurry in the hopper is transferred to slurry on the base material from applicator roll through the reverse effect between applicator roll and back flow roll at applicator roll and back flow roll intersection in the gap between process applicator roll and the doctor roll under the drive of applicator roll.Weight control is extremely important in the coating process of reality, and the quality of electric core and the uniformity of performance are played conclusive effect.Transversal wave movement and vertical fluctuation two aspects are mainly divided in the fluctuation of weight in the coating process: laterally the weight fluctuation comes from mainly that factors such as doctor roll, applicator roll cause, vertically the weight fluctuation mainly comes from the state variation (like viscosity variations, sinking speed etc.) of slurry and the equipment that causes thus, the mechanical fluctuation.In the production process of reality; Usually can occur because a variety of causes causes the shutdown of the discontinuity of coating machine; It is on the low side suddenly that this situation causes that easily coating weight takes place, and causes a large amount of pole pieces because the coating weight product that causes on the low side is defective, if these dysponderal pole piece streams are moved the low capacity problem that the back operation also can cause electric core to; Reduce the yield rate of electric core, improved the manufacturing cost of electric core.
In view of this, coating process is shut down the weight problem on the low side that causes becomes the problem of needing solution in the pole piece coating process badly.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to: a kind of coating process of electrodes of lithium-ion batteries is provided to the deficiency of prior art, can effectively improves the gravimetric anomaly problem of coating pole piece, reduce the cost of manufacturing of battery.
Adopt following technical scheme to achieve these goals, may further comprise the steps:
The first step: the slurry that mixes is added in the coating machine hopper, adopt the mode of scraper transfer coated that slurry is coated on the collector;
Second step: when the needs back flow roll shut down, applicator roll kept operating condition, starts thermostatic control system simultaneously, kept the slurry temperature in the hopper not change;
The 3rd step: start back flow roll and continue coating.
With respect to prior art, the present invention can keep the temperature constant of hopper, applicator roll in stopping process, eliminated the variation of the coating weight that causes owing to variations in temperature, has guaranteed the uniformity of coating weight.
Comprise as the described thermostatic control system of a kind of improvement of the present invention: have the applicator roll of through hole, pipeline, liquid; Temperature controller, temperature sensor, heating/cooling source; Wherein be connected to form the loop through pipeline between heating/cooling source and the applicator roll, liquid circulates in the loop; Temperature sensor connects goes up temperature controller, and temperature controller is electrically connected with heating/cooling source.
As the through hole interface shape in a kind of improved applicator roll of the present invention is circular, square and other irregular shapes, can process easily, and processing cost is low.
As a kind of improved through hole interfacial area scope of the present invention from 1 square centimeter to 1000 square centimeters; When fluid at differing temperatures is passed through applicator roll from through hole, play the effect that the temperature of applicator roll is regulated.
As a kind of improved pipe material of the present invention is stainless steel, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), rubber.
It has good heat-conducting to comprise water, NMP, alcohol, gasoline as a kind of improved liquid of the present invention.
As a kind of improved temperature sensor of the present invention is thermocouple sensor and infrared sensor, installs more conveniently, and precision is high.
Slurry temperature in the hopper feeds back to temperature controller through temperature sensor, and temperature controller is made the judgement of whether regulating according to the difference between actual temperature and the target temperature, and the instruction that will judge sends to heating, cooling source; The heating cooling source receives the action that order that temperature controller sends is promptly heated or cooled off liquid; The operation that liquid heats, cools off applicator roll, hopper in the pipeline, and the temperature of hopper is adjusted to target temperature.
Slurry has certain viscosity; Applicator roll generally adopts the metal steel material to make, and has certain friction between applicator roll and the slurry that is contacted, and this friction can produce certain heat; Heat can make that on the one hand slurry temperature raises, and can cause the expansion of applicator roll on the other hand; The temperature of slurry raises, and can make the viscosity of slurry reduce, and makes that the quality of finally transferring to the base material spreading mass through the gap reduces under the constant situation of doctor roll and coating clearance, makes the weight minimizing of coating; The expansion that applicator roll heat absorption causes brings the gap that is coated with between roller and doctor roll to reduce, and also makes the slurry of transferring on the base material through the gap reduce, and makes the minimizing of coating quality.In normal coating process, this fricative heat is taken away through slurry and the heat transmission transferred on the base material, makes that slurry and the applicator roll in the hopper keeps certain temperature, can not cause the variation of coating weight; Halfway in the stopping process, in order to keep slurry in the hopper caking that can not dry up, applicator roll will keep the state that moves, and the viscosity of the slurry that brings of heating up like this reduces and the expansion of applicator roll, and the weight that begins one section diaphragm after can causing starting shooting is on the low side.
The thermostatic control system of the coupling of transfer coater of the present invention, this temperature control system can guarantee slurry temperature-resistant in applicator roll and the hopper.When occurring beginning to shut down, open auto temperature controlled system immediately, monitor the fluctuation of its displays temperature, when opening coating again, close temperature control system and begin normal coating.
