Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electrolytic copper foil equipment manufacturing, in particular to a cathode roller with a diameter greater than 3000 mm for producing electrolytic copper foil. Background Art

[0002] As one of the basic materials of the electronics industry, electrolytic copper foil is mainly used to manufacture printed circuit boards (PCBs), copper clad laminates (CCLs), lithium-ion batteries, energy storage batteries, etc. Electrolytic copper foil is produced by electrolysis. Under the action of an external DC electric field, copper ions in the electrolyte in the anode tank of the foil machine are continuously deposited onto the surface of the cathode roller rotating at a constant speed. When the deposit reaches a certain thickness, the electrolytic copper foil is continuously produced after peeling, surface treatment, and winding.

[0003] The cathode roller, as the carrier for the production of electrolytic copper foil, is a rotating structure with shafts at both ends and a cylinder in the middle. It is mainly composed of steel materials for internal support strength, copper materials for conductivity, and titanium materials for external corrosion protection and foil production. The larger the diameter and the longer the width, the more area involved in the electrolytic foil production, and the higher the production efficiency. As the core equipment for the production of electrolytic copper foil, the specifications, dimensions, conductivity, and grain size of the cathode roller all involve the production efficiency, economic benefits, and product quality of the copper foil, and have always been the core and focus of copper foil companies. After more than 30 years of development, the diameter of the cathode roller has increased from 1500mm to the current 3600mm, and the efficiency of the cathode roller in producing foil has been greatly improved. However, as the diameter of the cathode roller increases, the weight of the cathode roller doubles, resulting in a variety of problems in the manufacturing and use of the cathode roller: the difficulty of lifting, turning, transferring, and transporting the cathode roller between different processes during manufacturing increases; the cathode roller surface cannot be processed at a high speed during turning and polishing, which affects the surface processing quality and processing efficiency, and reduces the glossy quality of the copper foil produced; the cathode roller needs to be driven by a higher power motor when electrolyzing raw foil, causing the cathode roller drive system of the raw foil machine to occupy too much space, affecting the uniform rotation of the cathode roller, and causing the key indicator of the copper foil produced to exceed the surface density; more stringent requirements are placed on the cathode roller support structure, foundation, and storage floor load-bearing capacity of the raw foil machine, increasing unnecessary copper foil production costs. The above-mentioned problem of a significant increase in weight caused by the increase in the diameter of the cathode roller has brought a lot of trouble to electrolytic copper foil equipment manufacturers and electrolytic copper foil manufacturers.

[0004] The invention patent with the announcement number CN 101928978 B discloses a rotating cathode roller for electrolysis, including an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder, the inner cylinder is made of aluminum alloy, and a mesh conductive plate is distributed on the inner surface of the inner cylinder, so that the inner cylinder does not overheat under large current flow, suppresses the generation of hot spots, and improves the contact positive stress, overall rigidity and heat dissipation performance of the rotating cathode roller for electrolysis. This patent mainly utilizes the high thermal expansion rate and good conductivity of aluminum alloy to increase the positive pressure of the joint of the inner and outer cylinders during operation and suppress the generation of hot spots. It is not used to solve the problem of lightweighting of large-diameter cathode rollers, nor does it solve the problem that the overall structure and conductivity of the aluminum alloy cathode roller meet the requirements of raw foil.
