A simulation calculation method for double-sided slit coating contact die

Abstract

The invention belongs to the related field of coating in the reel-to-reel manufacturing process, and discloses a simulation calculation method of a double-face slit coating contact type die head, which comprises the following steps of: (1) establishing a geometric model of a calculation domain formed by a die lip part of the double-face slit coating contact type die head and a base material; (2) flow field grid division; (3) establishing a VOF two-phase flow model and a base material deformation model of the slurry flow field; (4) giving a boundary condition and an initial condition for initialization, and performing initial flow field calculation; and (5) carrying out fluid-solid coupling numerical calculation by taking the steady flow field numerical calculation result (mainly the pressure distribution of the surface of the substrate) in the step (4) as an initial condition. On the basis of a VOF and fluid-solid coupling simulation method, the design of the double-sided slit coatingcontact type die head is guided through computational simulation, the manufacturing cost of the die head can be effectively reduced, and the coating uniformity is improved. According to the method, the influence of base material deformation on the coating liquid bead forming process and the coating uniformity due to lack of a back roller support in the second surface coating process in the double-surface coating process is fully considered, and the numerical prediction precision and reliability are improved by performing secondary development on FLUENT and embedding a user-defined program of the base material deformation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer numerical simulation and coating in roll-to-roll manufacturing process, and more particularly, to a simulation calculation method for double-sided slit coating contact die. Background technique [0002] Coating is a manufacturing process in which the slurry prepared in the previous process is evenly coated on the substrate, then dried in an oven, and finally recycled into a roll. It is an essential step in the roll-to-roll manufacturing process and also directly affects the product. The key process of capacity and consistency. At present, the mainstream coating technology mainly adopts single-side slit coating, that is, the first side of the substrate is coated first, then the first side of the substrate is dried and reeled before unwinding, and the second side of the substrate is coated and then dried and reeled. There are two main problems with this coating method. First, the slurry on the first side of...
