Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical fields of lithium battery manufacturing and environmental protection, and particularly relates to a glue removal and drying system and method for lithium battery cells. Background Art

[0002] During the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries, quality control in the production of battery cells is a key step in ensuring battery performance and safety. Among them, applying glue to protect the battery cells is an important measure to ensure the stability of the battery cells and extend their service life. However, defective products are inevitably produced during the gluing process, and the identification and treatment of these defective products are crucial for improving product quality and reducing production costs.

[0003] Currently, for the glue removal treatment of unqualified battery cells, the traditional process uses a glue removal box device. This process involves putting the battery cells into a special soaking pool and adding a chemical glue remover, and then continuously heating at a high temperature in a drying room to accelerate the dissolution of the glue. However, the existing methods have certain limitations. First, since the volume and weight of the battery cells are usually large, manually placing them into the soaking pool is extremely labor-intensive. Second, forklifts and other heavy machinery are often required to move the soaking pool, which increases logistics costs and raises requirements for factory building design and space utilization. In addition, the chemical glue remover may produce harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under high-temperature conditions. These substances pose a potential threat to the health of operators and also increase the risk of environmental pollution. The enclosed drying room environment also makes it more difficult to monitor and control the volatilization of these chemical substances. Finally, the glue removal process often requires continuous heating for more than 24 hours, seriously affecting the production efficiency of the battery cells and increasing production costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a glue removal and drying system and method for lithium battery cells. By setting the system near the coater, it can reduce the use space and cost of the factory building. At the same time, the glue removal and drying of the battery pack are integrated to improve the processing efficiency. It can highly utilize the tail gas of the coater to provide heat for the system, facilitating the condensation of the gas and maintaining the temperature of the liquid in the gas-liquid heat exchanger to provide condensate for the glue removal of the battery pack in the glue removal and sealing box. At the same time, it can also directly use the tail gas of the coater to dry the battery pack, enabling a closed-loop operation within the system, that is, no additional external heat is required to supplement the heat of the system, reducing resource utilization and environmental pollution.

[0005] A glue removal and drying system for lithium battery cells is set between the coater and the condensation tower and is used for glue removal and drying of lithium batteries. It includes:

[0006] The glue-dissolving and sealing box is provided with a water storage tank and a soaking pool inside. The soaking pool is used to place the battery pack and the glue-dissolving liquid, and the water storage device is used to store the glue-dissolving liquid. A liquid discharge device is arranged at the bottom of the soaking pool, and the soaking pool is located above the water storage tank. The soaking pool is communicated with the condensation tower through an exhaust air channel.

[0007] The first gas-liquid heat exchanger is used to maintain the liquid temperature. The first gas-liquid heat exchanger includes a first gas side channel and a first liquid side channel. The first end of the first gas side channel is communicated with the exhaust port of the coater. The first end of the first liquid side channel is respectively communicated with the water storage tank through a circulating liquid channel and with the condensation tower through a supplementary liquid channel, and the end of the first liquid side channel is communicated with the soaking pool.

At the same time, the tail exhaust of the coater can also be directly used to dry the battery pack, so that a closed-loop operation is formed inside the system, that is, no additional external heat is required to supplement the heat of the system, reducing resource utilization and environmental pollution.

[0010] Furthermore, a fan is arranged on the exhaust air channel to accelerate the drying of the battery pack.

[0014] The second air inlet channel, which is communicated with the fresh air machine and the water storage tank, is used to convey fresh air to the water storage tank. A second air inlet switch is arranged at the entrance of the second air inlet channel.

[0016] Furthermore, the chiller includes:

[0017] A chiller water inlet, which is connected to the head end of the second liquid side channel;

A method for a debinding and drying system for lithium battery cells as described in claim 1, characterized in that, Including the following steps: S1: Put the battery pack to be processed into the immersion tank without liquid, and seal the glue-dissolving and sealing box; S2: Carry out glue-dissolving treatment on the battery pack; S21: Start the refrigerator to make the chilled water output from the refrigerator water inlet, flow through the second liquid side channel, and then flow back to the refrigerator through the refrigerator water return port; S22: Open the exhaust port of the coater to introduce the high-temperature exhaust gas of the coater, and open the first air inlet switch to make the high-temperature exhaust gas of the coater enter the first gas side channel, condense into condensate through the second gas side channel, and then be conveyed to the water storage tank through the first air inlet channel; S23: Open the circulating pump to make the condensate and the glue-dissolving liquid in the water storage tank enter the circulating liquid channel, flow through the first liquid side channel for heating, and then flow back to the immersion tank to start the glue-dissolving treatment on the battery pack; S24: When the liquid level detection device detects that the battery pack in the soaking pool is completely covered by the condensate, turn off the chiller and the first air inlet switch, and make the high-temperature exhaust gas of the coater pass through the first gas-side channel and the second gas-side channel in sequence, and then be transported to the condensation tower through the second air duct; S25: Turn on the liquid discharge device to make the liquid in the soaking pool flow into the water storage tank; S26: Wait for at least 24 hours to complete the debonding of the battery pack, and turn off the circulation pump; S27: Wait statically for the liquid in the soaking pool to flow into the water storage tank until the liquid level detection device detects that there is no liquid in the soaking pool, and then turn off the liquid discharge device; S3: Dry the battery pack; S31: Turn on the first air inlet switch and the fan, and make the high-temperature exhaust gas of the coater pass through the first gas-side channel and the second gas-side channel in sequence and be transported to the debonding and sealing box to dry the battery pack, and then be recycled to the condensation tower through the exhaust air duct; S32: When the humidity detection device detects that the humidity in the soaking pool is lower than the preset value, complete the drying of the battery pack, turn off the first air inlet switch, and turn on the second air inlet switch to introduce fresh air to purify the gas in the debonding and sealing box; S33: When the gas detection device detects the gas emission standard of the exhaust air duct, turn off all the remaining equipment; S4: Open the debonding and sealing box and take out the battery pack to complete the debonding and drying of the lithium battery cell.

8. The method for the debonding and drying system for lithium battery cells according to claim 7, wherein The temperature range of the condensate formed at the end of the second gas-side channel of the second gas-liquid heat exchanger is 45°-55°; The temperature range of the liquid in the first liquid-side channel of the first gas-liquid heat exchanger is 45°-55°.

9. The method of the debinding and drying system for lithium battery cells according to claim 7, characterized in that, In S23, when the condensate in the soaking pool is insufficient, the condensate is recovered from the condensation tower to the first liquid-side channel through the supplementary liquid channel.
