AI Technical Summary
In the initial drying system of lithium battery aqueous negative electrodes, the low humidity during the coating process leads to rapid drying of the electrode sheets, which can easily result in cracking and poor appearance.
Water is sprayed onto the foil surface of the water-based negative electrode to increase the humidity inside the tunnel oven through a spray device. The air vents are adjusted by temperature and humidity sensors and the guide plate is controlled by a motor. Adjusting the air vents accelerates water vapor evaporation and ensures that the humidity and temperature quickly reach the working state.
This avoids the problem of cracking caused by low humidity during the coating process of aqueous negative electrodes for lithium batteries, thus improving production stability and quality.
