They will also be more widely used in artificial satellites, aerospace, and energy storage. With the shortage of energy and the huge pressure on the world's environmental protection. Lithium batteries are now widely used in the electric vehicle industry, especially the emergence of lithium iron phosphate batteries, which has further promoted the development and application of the lithium battery industry.

The first deflection correction component 23 is used to monitor whether the electrode strip is offset, and dynamically adjust the position of the electrode strip according to the monitoring result; further, the first deflection correction component 23 includes a first base 231, a first frame 232 and a first deflection correction sensor 233, the first base 231 is arranged on the side of the drying chamber 12 away from the sealing door, the first frame 232 is slidably arranged on the first base 231, the unwinding shaft 21 and the guide roller 22 are installed on the first frame 232, and the first deflection correction sensor 233 is arranged between the guide roller 22 and the tape connecting component 24; the first deflection correction sensor 233 is used to dynamically monitor whether the electrode strip is offset during the unwinding process, and feed back the monitoring structure to the frame moving power part (not shown) on the first frame 232, and the frame moving power part dynamically fine-tunes the relative position of the first frame 232 and the first base 231 according to the monitoring result to ensure that the electrode strip will not be offset during the unwinding process. The tape splicing assembly 24 is disposed on one side of the guide roller 22. The tape splicing assembly 24 is used to connect the old and new rolls of pole piece tape. When the previous roll of pole piece tape is unwound, a new roll of pole piece tape is replaced. The tail of the previous roll of pole piece tape and the head of the new roll of pole piece tape are clamped by the tape splicing assembly 24, and then the two are connected with tape to ensure the continuity of the drying process. The tape splicing assembly 24 includes a mounting box 241, a pressure plate 242, and a tape splicing power member 243. The mounting box 241 is mounted at the bottom of the feed chamber 11. The pressure plate 242 and the mounting box 241 are telescopically connected. The pole piece tape passes between the pressure plate 242 and the top of the mounting box 241. The tape splicing power member 243 is built into the mounting box 241. The tape splicing power member 243 is used to drive the pressure plate 242 away from or close to the mounting box 241; Figure 4 As shown, there are two pressing plates 242. When connecting two rolls of pole piece strips, the two pressing plates 242 are used to press the tail of the previous roll of pole piece strip and the head of the new roll of pole piece strip respectively, and then the operator uses tape to stick the two together to complete the connection between the old and new pole piece strips. In this embodiment, the connecting power member 243 is a cylinder.
[0039] like Figure 3As shown, the unwinding mechanism 20 further includes a first over-roller 26, an unwinding tension adjustment assembly 26 and a second over-roller 27. The unwinding tension adjustment assembly 26 is arranged on the side of the tape splicing assembly 24 away from the guide roller 22, and the first over-roller 26 and the second over-roller 27 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the unwinding tension adjustment assembly 26.

The unwinding tension adjustment assembly 26 monitors the tension of the pole piece strip through the first tension sensor 262, and dynamically adjusts the tension of the pole piece strip through the magnetic powder clutch (not shown) connected to the end of the unwinding shaft 21 close to the first frame 232 to prevent the pole piece strip from breaking or loosening.
[0040] In a specific embodiment, the unwinding mechanism 20 also includes an unwinding sealing assembly 28, and the unwinding sealing assembly 28 includes a first support plate 281, a first push plate 282 and a first push belt power member 283.

Preferably, the first push belt power member 283 is a cylinder. In this embodiment, the number of the unwinding sealing assembly 28 is two groups, and the two groups of unwinding sealing assemblies 28 are symmetrically arranged about the through hole on the first partition. By cooperating with the two groups of unwinding sealing assemblies 28 to block the through hole on the first partition, the feeding chamber 11 and the drying chamber 12 can be kept sealed when a new electrode strip is replaced, and the vacuum loss in the drying chamber 12 is prevented, which is conducive to reducing energy consumption.
[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the drying mechanism 30 is built into the drying chamber 12 to heat and dry the electrode strip. The drying mechanism 30 includes a plurality of heating rollers 32 arranged at intervals, and the electrode strip is wound around each heating roller 32 in sequence; the number, diameter size and arrangement of the heating rollers 32 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs, and are not limited to the scheme shown in the drawings in this embodiment. Further, in order to adjust the winding direction of the electrode strip, the drying mechanism 30 also includes a third roller 31 and a fourth roller 33. The third roller 31 is arranged on the side of the drying chamber 12 close to the feed chamber 11, and the fourth roller 33 is arranged on the side of the drying chamber 12 close to the cooling chamber 13. Furthermore, the heating roller 32 is equipped with an electromagnetic induction heating element (not shown in the figure). The electromagnetic induction heating element is used to heat the heating roller 32 because the electromagnetic induction heating method has high heating efficiency and the heating temperature can be adjusted as needed. Preferably, the contact area between the pole piece strip and the surface of the heating roller 32 can be increased and the passage time of the pole piece strip around the heating roller 32 can be increased by increasing the diameter of the heating roller 32, so as to improve the efficiency of heating and drying.
[0042] Please see again Figure 3 , the cooling mechanism 40 is built into the cooling chamber 13 to cool the electrode strip after drying. The cooling mechanism 40 includes a plurality of cooling rollers 42 arranged at intervals, and the electrode strip is sequentially wound around each cooling roller 42; further, a flow channel (not shown) for the circulation of a refrigerant is provided inside the cooling roller 42, and the surface temperature of the cooling roller 42 can be reduced by introducing a refrigerant into the flow channel inside the cooling roller 42, and when the electrode strip contacts the surface of the cooling roller 42, the temperature of the electrode strip can be quickly reduced. In this embodiment, the number of cooling rollers 42 is two. Furthermore, the cooling mechanism 40 also includes a fifth roller 41 and a sixth roller 43, and the fifth roller 41 is arranged on the side of the cooling chamber 13 close to the drying chamber 12, and the sixth cooling chamber 13 is arranged on the side of the cooling chamber 13 close to the receiving chamber 14; the fifth roller 41 and the sixth roller 43 are used to adjust the direction of the electrode strip.
[0043] In a specific embodiment, the electrode strip drying device 100 further includes a winding mechanism 50, which is built into the receiving chamber 14 and is used to recycle the electrode strip that has been dried and cooled into a roll. The winding mechanism 50 includes a winding sealing assembly 51, a second deviation correction assembly 52, a seventh roller 53, a receiving tension adjustment assembly 54, an eighth roller 55 and a winding shaft 56. The winding sealing assembly 51 is arranged on the side of the receiving chamber 14 close to the cooling chamber 13. The structure of the winding sealing assembly 51 is the same as that of the unwinding sealing assembly 28, and the function is also the same; the winding sealing assembly 51 includes a second support plate, a second push plate and a second push belt power member. The second support plate is arranged on the side of the receiving chamber 14 close to the cooling chamber 13. The second push plate is telescopically connected to the second support plate. The second push belt power member is installed on the second support plate to drive the second push plate to approach or move away from the second support plate. Preferably, the second push belt power member is a cylinder. In this embodiment, there are two groups of winding sealing assemblies 51, and the two groups of winding sealing assemblies 51 are symmetrically arranged about the through holes on the third partition. By cooperating with the two groups of winding sealing assemblies 51, the through holes on the third partition can be blocked when replacing a new electrode strip to prevent the vacuum loss in the cooling chamber 13, which is beneficial to energy saving and environmental protection.
[0044] The second deviation correction component 52 is used to monitor and correct the pole piece strip. The structure of the second deviation correction component 52 is the same as that of the first deviation correction component 233, and the function is also the same. The second deviation correction component 52 includes a second machine base 521, a second frame 522 and a second deviation correction sensor 523. The second machine base 521 is arranged on the side of the cooling chamber 13 away from the sealing door, and the second frame 522 is slidably arranged on the second machine base 521. The second deviation correction sensor 523 is arranged on the side of the winding sealing component 51 away from the cooling chamber 13. The receiving tension adjustment component 54 is arranged on the side of the winding sealing component 51 away from the cooling chamber 13. The structure of the receiving tension adjustment component 54 is the same as that of the unwinding tension adjustment component 26, and the function is also the same, which will not be repeated below. The seventh roller 53 and the eighth roller 55 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the receiving tension adjustment component 54, and the winding shaft 56 is rotatably connected to the chassis 10, and the winding shaft 56 is installed on the second frame 522. Preferably, the unwinding shaft 21 and the winding shaft 56 are both air expansion shafts.
[0045] In a specific embodiment, a distance meter is provided next to the unwinding shaft 21 and the reeling shaft 56. The distance meter is used to monitor the diameter of the rolled electrode strip mounted on the unwinding shaft 21 and the reeling shaft 56, so that the operator can understand the reeling status of the electrode strip without opening the sealing door 16, so as to replace the new electrode strip in time.
[0046] When in use, the rolled electrode strip is manually pushed onto the unwinding shaft 21 in the feeding chamber 11, and the electrode strip is manually passed through the guide roller 22, the first deviation correction sensor 233, the pressure plate 242, the first roller 25, the first tension roller 263, the second roller 27 in sequence, and then enters the third roller 31, the heating roller 32, the fourth roller 33 in the drying chamber 12, and then enters the fifth roller 41, the cooling roller 42, the sixth roller 43 in the cooling chamber 13, and finally enters the winding sealing assembly 51, the second deviation correction assembly 52, the seventh roller 53, the material receiving tension adjustment assembly 54, the eighth roller 55, and the winding shaft 56 in the receiving chamber 14; after completion, close the sealing door 16, turn on the heating roller 32, turn on the vacuum, and after reaching the set temperature and vacuum value, turn on the cooling water circulation of the cooling roller 42, start the unwinding shaft 21 and the winding shaft 56, release, dry, cool and finally recycle the electrode strip into a roll.
[0047] The pole piece strip drying device 100 of the present invention performs a vacuum treatment inside the case 10, and utilizes the characteristic that the boiling point of water decreases under a vacuum environment (because the boiling point of water decreases significantly under negative pressure, the theoretical boiling point at -0.089Mpa is as low as 45°C, and the water can be evaporated at a relatively low temperature), and the water will quickly escape along the vacuum exhaust duct after vaporization, and will not re-condense inside the case 10 when the temperature decreases, thereby preventing the metal foil on the pole piece strip from being oxidized, and preventing the quality of the pole piece strip from being damaged by high-temperature drying, and at the same time allowing the microporous gaps of the pole piece strip to be released, so that in a vacuum environment, The electrode strip is dried under low temperature and then cooled to room temperature, which greatly saves drying time, improves drying efficiency, and enhances the quality of the electrode strip; the electrode strip is heated by arranging multiple heating rollers 32, and the electrode strip is sequentially wound around each heating roller 32, so that the continuous heating time is long, and the front and back sides of the electrode strip are heated alternately, which ensures that the electrode strip is heated evenly; similarly, by sequentially winding the electrode strip around each cooling roller 42, it can be ensured that the electrode strip is in full contact with the cooling roller 42, thereby accelerating the cooling; in addition, heat can only be transferred through contact in a vacuum environment, which is beneficial to reduce ineffective heat dissipation and reduce energy consumption.
