AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing drying apparatuses for electrode manufacturing fail to prevent overheating of electrode substrates due to residual heat when the substrate stops moving, leading to potential temperature fluctuations and property changes.

Method used

The apparatus incorporates a transfer unit, heating unit, position adjustment unit, first cooling unit, and control unit to manage heat application and cooling, including air injection and position adjustment to prevent residual heat transfer and cool the substrate surface when movement stops.

Benefits of technology

Prevents electrode substrate overheating and temperature hunting by blocking residual heat transfer and cooling the substrate surface effectively, maintaining temperature stability during substrate pauses and resumptions.
