Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium battery separator production, and specifically relates to a lithium battery separator production device and its production process. Background Art

[0002] In the production of lithium battery separators, transverse stretching is one of the necessary processes. In the prior art, after the film is stretched, the two sides of the film are thicker, there is a certain gap between the actual effective width and the width that the equipment can reach, the flatness of the two sides of the film is not good, and the utilization rate of large slitting is low. At the same time, after the film enters the extraction process, the thick edges are prone to curling. In actual production, when the separator passes through the extraction tank, after the separator is roughly leveled, a flanging operation needs to be carried out, and the purpose is to flatten the wrinkled edge material through the operation of other equipment.

[0003] The main reason is that the stretching of the film is uneven during the stretching process. In order to ensure that the film does not shift on the guide roller, the middle part of the guide roller has a slightly larger diameter than the two ends, the principle cylinder belt and the belt roller; resulting in a larger stretching amount in the middle during stretching of the film and a smaller stretching amount on both sides, resulting in thicker sides.

[0004] According to a transverse stretching and extraction process of a lithium battery separator provided by a patent document with the application number CN201710599461.9, it includes a primary transverse stretching step and an extraction step carried out in sequence. Before the separator is extracted and passed through the film, the thick edges on both sides of the separator are cut off. After cutting the edges, then carry out extraction and passing through the film. There is no curling of the thick edges, it flattens quickly, no flanging is required, the film passing efficiency is high, and it also avoids operators from coming into contact with dichloromethane for a long time during the film passing process; when the film enters the secondary transverse stretching, there are no thick edges, the effective width has a very small gap with the actual width reached by the equipment, and the effective width increases.

[0005] However, the above patent does not fundamentally solve the problem of thicker sides and cannot meet the production requirements. Summary of the Invention

The plurality of cooling fixing blocks (434) are respectively disposed in the middle of the plurality of driven units (42).

7. An apparatus for producing a lithium battery separator according to claim 1, wherein: The monitoring unit (5) includes a plurality of industrial cameras (51). The plurality of industrial cameras (51) are arranged linearly and are disposed inside the heating box (1) through monitoring brackets (52).

8. A production process for a lithium battery separator, using the apparatus for producing a lithium battery separator according to any one of claims 1-7, wherein: It includes the following steps: S1. Feeding: After pre-treating the PP and pore-forming agent raw materials according to the formula in the mixing device, they are transported to the extrusion device; S2. Casting: A PP cast film with a high β-crystal content and good β-crystal morphological uniformity is obtained by outputting through the extrusion device; S3. Longitudinal stretching: The cast film is longitudinally stretched at a certain temperature by a longitudinal film stretching device, and pores are formed by using the characteristic that β-crystals are prone to form pores under tensile stress; S4. Transverse stretching: The material is transversely stretched at a higher temperature by a transverse film stretching device to expand the pores and improve the uniformity of the pore size distribution at the same time; S5. Shaping and winding: The separator is heat-treated at a high temperature by a winding device to reduce its thermal shrinkage rate and improve dimensional stability.
