Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery technology, and in particular relates to a composite current collector thin film stress-controlled electroplating preparation device and its working method. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of composite current collectors, a pre-coating layer is typically formed on the original film using methods such as magnetron sputtering, vapor deposition, or chemical plating, followed by electroplating. Because the original film is very thin and flexible, it is prone to wrinkling in water due to liquid tension and internal stress, thus affecting the quality of the current collector product. Furthermore, in traditional electroplating processes, the current collector is subjected to metal conductive rollers on both sides, making it susceptible to damage from copper dendrites and other deposits formed on these rollers during conduction. Additionally, the surface of the electroplated composite current collector exhibits high nanoscale surface activity, making it prone to reacting with oxygen in the air, leading to oxidation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a composite current collector thin film stress-controlled electroplating preparation device and working method.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0005] A composite current collector thin film stress-controlled electroplating preparation apparatus, comprising, in sequence along the electroplating direction: an unwinding mechanism 1, an electroplating module, an anti-oxidation module, and a winding mechanism;

[0006] The unwinding mechanism 1 is used to unwind the composite PET film 2, which has a conductive seed layer formed on its surface after magnetron sputtering. It includes a drive motor and an unwinding roller driven by the drive motor, on which the composite PET film 2 is wound. It can be any unwinding mechanism, such as one including a drive motor and an unwinding roller.

[0007] Electroplating module: includes electroplating tank 7, with a conductive roller in the middle and a copper ball at the bottom. During electroplating, the conductive roller acts as the working electrode and the copper ball acts as the counter electrode, forming an electroplating circuit. The conductive roller is located above the surface of the composite PET film 2 to be electroplated.

[0008] Flexible support belt: Located inside the electroplating tank 7, it includes a conveyor roller and a belt driven by the conveyor roller. The width of the belt is greater than the width of the composite PET film 2, and the surface of the belt is made of flexible material. The conveyor roller and the conductive roller are positioned vertically opposite each other, with a gap between them for belt transmission. During electroplating, the electroplating solution on the non-electroplated side of the composite PET film 2 is squeezed out and pressed tightly against the non-electroplated side of the belt due to the pressure of the electroplating solution. After electroplating, the composite PET film 2 forms a composite current collector. The first flexible support conveyor belt and the second flexible support conveyor belt are arranged in the electroplating tank 7, and the first and second conveyor rollers are responsible for providing power to the belt.

[0009] Anti-oxidation module: used to prevent oxidation of electroplated composite current collectors, including an anti-oxidation solution device;

[0010] Winding mechanism: Used to wind up the film after it has been treated with anti-oxidation.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a guiding device is also included, which includes a guide roller disposed inside the unwinding mechanism 1, or inside the electroplating tank 7, or inside the anti-oxidation module, or between the unwinding mechanism 1 and the electroplating tank 7, or between the electroplating tank 7 and the anti-oxidation module, or between the anti-oxidation module and the winding mechanism.

[0012] A flexible support conveyor belt is used to support the composite PET film 2 during the electroplating process to prevent wrinkles. The flexible support conveyor belt is made of flexible material, which can prevent copper dendrites from damaging the current collector. After electroplating, the composite current collector is subjected to surface anti-oxidation treatment.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, an organic solvent cleaning module is provided between the electroplating tank and the anti-oxidation module to wash away the residual liquid on the surface of the current collector after electroplating. The organic solvent cleaning module includes an organic solvent cleaning agent, a cleaning tank and an organic cleaning tension roller in the tank.

[0014] And / or an organic cleaning guide roller is provided between the electroplating tank and the organic solvent cleaning module.

[0015] As a preferred method, the organic solvent cleaning agent in the organic solvent cleaning module is anhydrous ethanol or trifluoroethylene.

[0016] As a preferred option, the flexible material on the surface of the belt is selected from natural rubber (NR), synthetic natural rubber (IR), styrene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber (BR), chloroprene rubber (CR), ethylene propylene rubber (EPDM), and butyl rubber (IIR).

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, a hot drying module is provided between the anti-oxidation module and the winding mechanism. The hot drying module includes a hot drying mechanism 12. This removes small droplets remaining on the composite current collector after drying by the air-cooled drying mechanism.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, a cold air drying module is provided between the anti-oxidation module and the winding mechanism. The cold air drying module includes a cold air drying mechanism. This removes large droplets present on the composite current collector that has undergone electroplating.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, the electroplating bath 7 is provided with a first flexible carrier belt and a second flexible carrier belt, and the conductive rollers of the first flexible carrier belt and the second flexible carrier belt are respectively located on different surfaces of the composite PET film 2. Electroplating is performed on the upper and lower surfaces of the composite PET film 2 separately.

[0020] As a preferred embodiment, multiple flexible conveyor belts are spaced apart along the electroplating direction. This provides support during electroplating of the composite current collector.

[0021] The present invention also provides a method for operating the composite current collector thin film stress-controlled electroplating preparation device, which is as follows:

[0022] The unwinding mechanism 1 is used to unwind the composite PET film 2, which has a conductive seed layer formed on its surface after magnetron sputtering. The composite PET film 2 is wound onto the unwinding roller, and the drive motor drives the unwinding roller to rotate. The unwound composite PET film 2 is guided into the electroplating tank 7 by the guide roller. A flexible support conveyor belt is arranged in the electroplating tank 7. The conveyor roller provides power to the belt. The conductive roller acts as the working electrode during electroplating. During electroplating, the electroplating roller cooperates with the belt, and the electroplating solution on the non-electroplated side of the composite PET film 2 is squeezed out. Due to the pressure of the electroplating solution, it adheres tightly to the non-electroplated side of the belt. After electroplating in the electroplating tank 7, the composite PET film 2 enters the organic solvent cleaning module through the guide roller to clean the residual electroplating solution on the surface of the composite current collector. The organic solvent cleaning module is equipped with organic solvent cleaning agent 905, a cleaning tank, an organic cleaning guide roller, and an organic cleaning tension roller. The composite PET film 2 passes through... Organic cleaning guide rollers guide the organic solvent cleaning agent into the solution, where it is cleaned under the control of organic cleaning tension rollers. After cleaning, the solution is guided to the next step via the organic cleaning guide rollers. The anti-oxidation module is equipped with an anti-oxidation liquid 1005 and an anti-oxidation guide roller. The anti-oxidation module guides the electroplated and cleaned composite PET film 2 into the anti-oxidation liquid 1005 via the anti-oxidation guide rollers. In the anti-oxidation liquid, the composite PET film 2 undergoes anti-oxidation treatment supported by the anti-oxidation guide rollers, adding a protective film layer to the surface of the composite PET film 2. After the anti-oxidation treatment is completed, the composite PET film 2 is guided to the next step via the anti-oxidation guide rollers. The anti-oxidation device is connected to a cold air drying module and a hot drying module for drying the composite current collector. The dried composite PET film 2 is guided by guide rollers into the winding mechanism 14 connected at the rear. The winding mechanism 14 is used to rewind the composite current collector.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Compared with the traditional top-and-bottom arrangement of conductive rollers, this invention supports the composite PET film 2 during the electroplating process to prevent wrinkles. Furthermore, the flexible support conveyor belt is made of flexible material, which can prevent copper dendrites from damaging the current collector. This reduces the possibility of the copper plating layer forming on the conductive roller surface puncturing or scratching the film, and also reduces the impact of liquid buoyancy on the electroplating process. This invention solves the problems of copper plating layer easily forming on the conductive roller surface of the equipment to puncture or scratch the film, and wrinkles caused by the internal stress of the film itself, when the composite current collector is thickened by water electroplating, thus improving the product yield.
