Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of battery technology, and in particular relates to a drying device and a control method and a control device thereof. Background Art

[0002] The battery manufacturing process includes many steps, such as stirring, coating, cold pressing, slitting, die cutting, winding, etc. In the coating process, the battery pole piece usually needs to be dried by drying equipment, and the energy consumption of the coating process far exceeds that of other processes. How to reduce the energy consumption of the coating process under the premise of safety is the research direction of this field. Summary of the invention

[0003] The embodiments of the present application provide a drying device and a control method and a control device thereof, which can achieve a balance between production safety and energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0004] According to the first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a control method for a drying equipment, the drying equipment is used to dry electrodes, the control method for the drying equipment includes: obtaining a first measured negative pressure in each oven of the drying equipment; adjusting the opening of an exhaust valve of each oven according to the obtained first measured negative pressure in each oven, wherein the exhaust valve is used to control the exhaust of the oven; obtaining a second measured negative pressure in each oven after adjustment by the exhaust valve; and adjusting the speed of the exhaust fan of the drying equipment according to the second measured negative pressure in multiple ovens.

[0005] The embodiment of the present application firstly self-regulates the negative pressure in each oven through the exhaust valve of the oven itself, and then adjusts the rotation speed of the exhaust fan according to the self-regulated negative pressure of multiple ovens, which can meet the overall regulation demand of the exhaust volume of multiple ovens, thereby adjusting the negative pressure in each oven at the same time, which is beneficial to improve the negative pressure regulation efficiency in multiple ovens, reduce the jitter during the drying process of the electrode, improve the drying quality of the electrode, and can also minimize the leakage of the target gas to the outside, reduce safety risks, and reduce the energy consumption of the exhaust fan as much as possible, thereby achieving a balance between production safety and energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0006] In some embodiments, the opening of the exhaust valve of each oven is adjusted according to the first measured negative pressure in each oven, including: if the first measured negative pressure is greater than the upper limit of the target negative pressure range, the opening of the exhaust valve is reduced; if the first measured negative pressure is less than the lower limit of the target negative pressure range, the opening of the exhaust valve is increased. Reducing the opening of the exhaust valve can reduce the exhaust volume of the oven, thereby appropriately increasing the negative pressure of the oven, which is beneficial to reducing the adverse effect of the negative pressure on the electrode. Increasing the opening of the exhaust valve can increase the exhaust volume of the oven (the target gas discharged through the exhaust valve needs to be recycled by the recovery system, and will not cause safety risks), increasing the negative pressure in the oven, which is beneficial to limit the leakage of the target gas and reduce safety risks.

[0007] In some embodiments, the opening of the exhaust valve is adjusted according to a constant adjustment ratio, thereby simplifying the logical operation process of adjusting the opening of the exhaust valve without affecting production safety and improving the response speed.

[0008] In some embodiments, the speed of the exhaust fan of the drying equipment is adjusted according to the second measured negative pressure of the multiple ovens, including: calculating the negative pressure average of the second measured negative pressure of the multiple ovens; if the negative pressure average is greater than the upper limit of the average negative pressure range, reducing the speed of the exhaust fan; if the negative pressure average is less than the lower limit of the average negative pressure range, increasing the speed of the exhaust fan. Reducing the speed of the exhaust fan can reduce the exhaust volume of each oven, which is beneficial to reducing the negative pressure in each oven, increasing the speed of negative pressure regulation, reducing the adverse effects on the pole piece and the energy consumption of the exhaust fan. Increasing the speed of the exhaust fan is beneficial to increasing the negative pressure in each oven, reducing the risk of leakage of the target gas to the outside, and improving production safety.

[0009] In some embodiments, the speed of the exhaust fan is adjusted according to a constant speed value, thereby simplifying the logical operation process of adjusting the speed of the exhaust fan without affecting production safety and improving the response speed.

[0010] In some embodiments, the control method of the drying equipment further includes: obtaining a first measured concentration of the target gas in each oven; adjusting the opening of the air inlet valve of each oven according to the first measured concentration of each oven obtained, wherein the air inlet valve is used to control the air inlet of the oven; obtaining a second measured concentration of the target gas in each oven after adjustment by the air inlet valve; and adjusting the speed of the air inlet fan of the drying equipment according to the second measured concentration of the multiple ovens. The embodiment of the present application first self-adjusts the concentration of the target gas in the oven through the air inlet valve of each oven itself, and then adjusts the speed of the air inlet fan according to the second measured concentration of the target gas after self-adjustment of the multiple ovens, which can meet the overall adjustment demand of the air inlet volume of multiple ovens, thereby adjusting the target gas concentration in each oven at the same time, which is conducive to improving the adjustment efficiency of the target gas concentration in multiple ovens, and achieving a balance between production safety and energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the opening of the air inlet valve of each oven is adjusted according to the first measured concentration of each oven obtained, including: if the first measured concentration is greater than the upper limit of the target concentration range of the oven, the opening of the air inlet valve is increased; if the first measured concentration is less than the lower limit of the target concentration range, the opening of the air inlet valve is reduced. Increasing the opening of the air inlet valve can increase the air intake of the oven, thereby diluting the target gas in the oven and reducing the concentration of the target gas in the oven, which is beneficial to improving the regulation efficiency and production safety. Reducing the opening of the air inlet valve can reduce the air intake of the oven, and even if the concentration of the target gas in the oven increases, it is not likely to cause safety hazards. In addition, the air intake of the oven is equivalent to fresh air, which needs to be heated before the electrode can be dried. Reducing the air intake of the oven can reduce heating energy consumption under the premise of production safety.

[0012] In some embodiments, the adjustment ratio of the air inlet valve opening is positively correlated with the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration and the target concentration threshold of the oven, wherein the target concentration threshold is within the target concentration range. The adjustment ratio of the air inlet valve opening matches the degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas in the oven deviates from the target concentration range. The adjustment ratio of the air inlet valve opening can adapt to the adjustment rate of the air intake required by the oven, reduce the risk of the concentration of the target gas in the oven fluctuating, and help improve production safety and the drying quality of the electrode.

[0013] In some embodiments, adjusting the speed of the air inlet fan according to the second measured concentration of the multiple ovens includes: calculating the concentration mean of the second measured concentration of the multiple ovens; if the concentration mean is greater than the upper limit of the average concentration range, increasing the speed of the air inlet fan; if the concentration mean is less than the lower limit of the average concentration range, reducing the speed of the air inlet fan. Increasing the speed of the air inlet fan can provide more air intake to the ovens, thereby reducing the concentration of the target gas in each oven, which is beneficial to increasing the adjustment speed of the target gas concentration and reducing safety risks. Reducing the speed of the air inlet fan is beneficial to reducing the energy consumption of the air inlet fan to resist wind resistance.

[0014] In some embodiments, the adjustment speed of the air inlet fan is positively correlated with the absolute value of the difference between the mean concentration and the average concentration threshold, wherein the average concentration threshold is within the average concentration range. The adjustment speed of the air inlet fan matches the degree to which the overall target gas concentration of the multiple ovens deviates from the average concentration range. The adjustment speed of the air inlet fan can adapt to the adjustment rate of the air inlet volume required by the multiple ovens, and can also balance the energy consumption of the air inlet fan, which is beneficial to energy saving.

[0038] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features of this application can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0039] If there is no special explanation, all steps of the present application can be performed sequentially or randomly, preferably sequentially. For example, the method includes steps (a) and (b), which means that the method may include steps (a) and (b) performed sequentially, or may include steps (b) and (a) performed sequentially.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] The battery manufacturing process includes many steps, among which the energy consumption of the coating process far exceeds that of other steps. On the one hand, the drying of cathode pole pieces requires a large amount of hot air, which is usually heated by thermal oil or superheated steam; on the other hand, the cathode slurry solvent is N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). The large amount of NMP gas volatilized during the drying process of the pole piece needs to be recycled through a large amount of cooling water, resulting in high energy consumption. Strictly controlling the NMP gas concentration and negative pressure in the oven is crucial for energy saving and cost reduction, production safety and pole piece quality.

[0042] In the related art, the NMP gas concentration and negative pressure in the oven are regulated by manually adjusting the fresh air valve and exhaust valve to control the fresh air volume and exhaust air volume entering each oven, and manually adjusting the speed of the total fresh air fan and the speed of the total exhaust fan, thereby controlling the NMP gas concentration and negative pressure in the oven. In order to completely dry the electrode, the number of oven sections is usually more than 10, and the ovens are interconnected. The concentration or negative pressure between the single-section ovens and the upper and lower ovens have mutual influence. The amount of data of the NMP gas concentration and negative pressure signal value of the oven is huge, and it is difficult to manually synchronize and process it. Therefore, it is difficult to control the NMP gas concentration and negative pressure of all ovens by traditional methods.

[0043] In view of this, the present application provides a technical solution, which first obtains the first measured negative pressure in each oven; then adjusts the exhaust valve opening of each oven according to the first measured negative pressure in each oven; and finally adjusts the speed of the exhaust fan of the drying equipment according to the second measured negative pressure adjusted in multiple ovens. The exhaust valve opening of each oven can affect the exhaust volume of the oven, and the speed of the exhaust fan can affect the exhaust volume of multiple ovens at the same time. Adjusting the exhaust volume of the oven can adjust the negative pressure of the oven. The technical solution provided in the present application firstly self-regulates the negative pressure in each oven through the exhaust valve of each oven itself, and then adjusts the rotation speed of the exhaust fan according to the self-regulated negative pressure of multiple ovens, which can meet the overall regulation demand of the exhaust volume of multiple ovens, thereby adjusting the negative pressure in each oven at the same time, which is beneficial to improve the negative pressure regulation efficiency in multiple ovens, reduce the jitter during the drying process of the electrode, improve the drying quality of the electrode, and can also minimize the leakage of target gas (the target gas is the gas generated during the drying process of the electrode and may affect the production safety or the drying quality of the electrode, for example, the target gas can be NMP gas), reduce safety risks, and help reduce the energy consumption of the exhaust fan, thereby achieving a balance between production safety and energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0044] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used for drying equipment.

[0045] The drying equipment of the present application is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the drying device provided in some embodiments of the present application. The drying device 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application is used to dry the electrode 2. The drying device 1 includes an exhaust fan 60 and a plurality of ovens 10, and the exhaust fan 60 is used to exhaust air from the plurality of ovens 10 to the outside. For the convenience of observation, Figure 1 Only the specific structure of one oven 10 is shown in the figure, and other ovens 10 may have the same structure as the oven 10.

[0047] The electrode 2 can be a positive electrode of a battery device, or a negative electrode of a battery device.

[0048] The air flow driven by the exhaust fan 60 may flow out of each oven 10 through the exhaust duct.

[0049] In some embodiments, the drying device 1 further comprises a main exhaust duct 33 and a plurality of exhaust branches 34, wherein the plurality of exhaust branches 34 are respectively connected to the plurality of ovens 10, and the plurality of ovens 10 are respectively connected to the main exhaust duct 33 through the plurality of exhaust branches 34. The exhaust fan 60 may be disposed in the main exhaust duct 33.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drying device 1 includes an air inlet fan 20 and a plurality of ovens 10, wherein the air inlet fan 20 is used to supply air to the plurality of ovens 10. In some embodiments, the drying device 1 also includes a main air inlet pipeline 31 and a plurality of air inlet branches 32, wherein the plurality of air inlet branches 32 are respectively connected to the plurality of ovens 10, and the plurality of ovens 10 are respectively connected to the main air inlet pipeline 31 through the plurality of air inlet branches 32.

[0051] Each oven 10 can take in air through the air inlet branch 32 and the main air inlet duct 31 , and exhaust air to the outside through the air exhaust branch 34 and the main air exhaust duct 33 , so as to maintain a suitable air pressure in the oven 10 .

[0052] In some embodiments, each oven 10 is provided with at least one exhaust valve 70, and the exhaust valve 70 can control the air volume exhausted from the oven 10, that is, the exhaust volume of the oven 10. For example, when other parameters remain unchanged, the larger the opening of the exhaust valve 70, the more air volume is exhausted from the oven 10.

[0053] The exhaust valve 70 of the oven 10 may be disposed on the exhaust branch 34 communicating with the oven 10 .

[0054] In some embodiments, the drying device 1 further includes an air inlet fan 20 , which is used to supply air to the multiple ovens 10 .

[0055] The air inlet fan 20 is used to drive the external air flow to flow to each oven 10 through the air inlet pipeline. The air inlet fan 20 can be arranged in the main air inlet pipeline 31.

[0056] Each oven 10 is provided with at least one air inlet valve 50, which can control the air volume delivered to the oven 10, that is, the air volume of the oven 10. For example, when other parameters remain unchanged, the larger the opening of the air inlet valve 50, the more air volume is delivered to the oven 10.

[0057] The air inlet valve 50 of each oven 10 may be disposed on the air inlet branch 32 communicating with the oven 10 .

[0058] In some embodiments, the drying device 1 also includes a recovery system 40, which can be connected to the main exhaust duct 33 and is used to recover the target gas in the air flow discharged from the main exhaust duct 33 for reuse, thereby reducing the harm of the target gas to the human body or the environment.

[0059] Optionally, the recovery system 40 may include a filter module 41, a cooling module 42, a condensation module 43 and a demisting module 44. The filter module 41, the cooling module 42, the condensation module 43 and the demisting module 44 are sequentially arranged along the airflow path in the recovery system 40.

[0060] The airflow of the general exhaust duct 33 comes from each oven 10, and the airflow temperature is relatively high. In the process of recovering the target gas, a cooling medium is usually used to perform heat exchange with the airflow to reduce the airflow temperature.

[0061] The recovery system 40 may also be connected to the main air inlet pipeline 31 , and the airflow after the target gas is recovered may be transported to each oven 10 again through the main air inlet pipeline 31 .

[0062] In some embodiments, the drying device 1 further comprises a rotating wheel 93, and the rotating wheel 93 is connected to the recovery system 40. The rotating wheel 93 comprises an impeller, and the impeller can suck the gas in the recovery system 40 when rotating.

[0063] A portion of the airflow after the target gas is recovered by the recovery system 40 can re-enter the oven 10 through the main air inlet pipeline 31 , and the other portion can be discharged through the rotor 93 , so that a negative pressure environment is maintained in each oven 10 .

[0064] In some embodiments, the oven 10 includes a housing 11, a circulation pipeline 12, a circulation fan 13 and a heating device 14. The housing 11 is used to accommodate the electrode 2 to be dried. Both ends of the circulation pipeline 12 are connected to the housing 11, and the circulation pipeline 12 and the housing 11 form a circulation loop, and the gas can circulate between the circulation pipeline 12 and the housing 11. The circulation fan 13 is arranged in the circulation pipeline 12, and is used to drive the airflow to circulate between the circulation pipeline 12 and the housing 11. The heating device 14 is arranged in the circulation pipeline 12, and is used to heat the airflow flowing to the housing 11, thereby increasing the temperature of the airflow flowing to the housing 11, which is conducive to drying the electrode 2.

[0065] Alternatively, the heating device may be a heat exchanger which transfers heat to the airflow by exchanging heat with the airflow passing through the heat exchanger.

[0066] Each air inlet branch 32 and each air exhaust branch 34 is connected to the circulation pipeline 12 of the corresponding oven 10 .

[0067] In some embodiments, the airflow in the total exhaust duct 33 and the airflow in the total air inlet duct 31 can perform heat exchange. The airflow in the total air inlet duct 31 can absorb the heat of the airflow in the total exhaust duct 33, thereby preheating the airflow in the total air inlet duct 31.

[0068] Optionally, the drying device 1 further includes a heat exchanger 94 , and the main air inlet pipeline 31 and the main air exhaust pipeline 33 are connected via the heat exchanger 94 .

[0069] According to the first aspect of the present application, an embodiment of the present application provides a control method for a drying device 1 . Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of a control method for a drying device provided in some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 2 , the control method of the drying equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: Step S10, obtaining a first measured negative pressure in each oven 10; Step S20, adjusting the opening of the exhaust valve 70 of each oven 10 according to the first measured negative pressure in each oven 10, wherein the exhaust valve 70 is used to control the exhaust of the oven 10; Step S30, obtaining the second measured negative pressure in each oven 10 after being adjusted by the exhaust valve 70; Step S40 , adjusting the rotation speed of the exhaust fan 60 according to the second measured negative pressure in the plurality of ovens 10 .

[0070] Unless otherwise specified, the “negative pressure” in the embodiments of the present application refers to the absolute value of the negative pressure.

[0071] Exhausting gas from the oven 10 can change the negative pressure in the oven 10. Adjusting the opening of the exhaust valve 70 can adjust the negative pressure in the oven 10. For example, when other parameters remain unchanged, the opening of the exhaust valve 70 increases, the exhaust volume of the oven 10 increases, and the negative pressure in the oven 10 can be increased. Conversely, the opening of the exhaust valve 70 decreases, the exhaust volume of the oven 10 decreases, and the negative pressure in the oven 10 can be reduced.

[0072] In step S20, adjusting the opening of the exhaust valve 70 of each oven 10 according to the first measured negative pressure in each oven 10 means adjusting the opening of the exhaust valve 70 of the oven 10 according to the first measured negative pressure in the oven 10. In other words, the opening of the exhaust valve 70 is adjusted only according to the first measured negative pressure in the oven 10 corresponding to the exhaust valve 70, and has nothing to do with the negative pressure in other ovens 10.

[0073] The rotation speed of the exhaust fan 60 simultaneously affects the exhaust volume of the multiple ovens 10. For example, when other parameters of each oven 10 remain unchanged, the greater the rotation speed of the exhaust fan 60, the greater the total air volume exhausted from the multiple ovens 10 by the exhaust fan 60, and the greater the exhaust volume of each oven 10.

[0074] The negative pressure in the oven 10 affects the vibration of the electrode 2 on the one hand, and also affects the concentration of the target gas on the other hand. For example, when the negative pressure is within a certain range, the leakage of the target gas can be limited. When the negative pressure in the oven 10 is small, the target gas may leak outward, causing safety hazards. When the negative pressure in the oven 10 is large, the drying quality and / or performance of the electrode 2 may be affected.

[0075] The opening degree of the exhaust valve 70 of each oven 10 can affect the exhaust volume of the oven 10, and the rotation speed of the exhaust fan 60 can affect the exhaust volume of multiple ovens 10 at the same time. Adjusting the exhaust volume of the oven 10 can adjust the negative pressure of the oven 10. The second measured negative pressure is the negative pressure measured again after the oven 10 self-adjusts the negative pressure in the oven 10 through its own exhaust valve 70. The second measured negative pressure can directly represent the exhaust volume adjustment trend required by the oven 10. For example, the larger the second measured negative pressure, the smaller the exhaust volume of the oven 10 needs to be. The second measured negative pressure of multiple ovens 10 can represent the adjustment trend of the exhaust volume required by the multiple ovens 10 as a whole.

[0076] The embodiment of the present application firstly self-regulates the negative pressure in each oven 10 through the exhaust valve 70 of each oven 10, and then adjusts the rotation speed of the exhaust fan 60 according to the self-regulated negative pressure of the multiple ovens 10, which can meet the overall regulation demand of the exhaust volume of the multiple ovens 10, thereby adjusting the negative pressure in each oven 10 at the same time, which is beneficial to improve the negative pressure regulation efficiency in the multiple ovens 10, reduce the jitter of the electrode 2 during the drying process, improve the drying quality of the electrode 2, and can also minimize the external leakage of the target gas, reduce safety risks, and reduce the energy consumption of the exhaust fan 60 as much as possible, thereby achieving a balance between production safety and energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0077] In some embodiments, adjusting the opening of the exhaust valve 70 of each oven 10 according to the first measured negative pressure in each oven 10 includes: If the first measured negative pressure is greater than the upper limit of the target negative pressure range, the opening of the exhaust valve 70 is reduced; If the first measured negative pressure is less than the lower limit of the target negative pressure range, the opening of the exhaust valve 70 is increased.

[0078] A target negative pressure range is preset for each oven 10. The target negative pressure range corresponding to each oven 10 may be the negative pressure range of the oven 10 under normal working conditions.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the negative pressure is an absolute value, and the upper limit and lower limit of the target negative pressure range are both positive values.

[0080] The target negative pressure ranges of different ovens 10 may be the same or different.

[0081] If the first measured negative pressure in the oven 10 is greater than the upper limit of the target negative pressure range of the oven 10, it means that the negative pressure in the oven 10 is too high, which may have an adverse effect on the performance of the electrode 2. At this time, reducing the opening of the exhaust valve 70 can reduce the exhaust volume of the oven 10, thereby appropriately increasing the negative pressure of the oven 10, which is conducive to reducing the adverse effect of the negative pressure on the electrode 2.

[0082] If the first measured negative pressure in the oven 10 is less than the lower limit of the target negative pressure range in the oven 10, it means that the negative pressure in the oven 10 is too low and the target gas is likely to leak out. At this time, increasing the opening of the exhaust valve 70 can increase the exhaust volume of the oven 10 (the target gas exhausted through the exhaust valve 70 needs to be recycled by the recycling system 40, and will not cause safety risks). Increasing the negative pressure in the oven 10 is conducive to limiting the leakage of the target gas and reducing safety risks.

[0083] In some embodiments, the opening of the exhaust valve 70 is adjusted according to a constant adjustment ratio. In other words, the adjustment ratio of the exhaust valve 70 is the same each time.

[0084] The adjustment ratio of the exhaust valve 70 includes an opening increase ratio and an opening decrease ratio of the exhaust valve 70 .

[0085] The opening of the exhaust valve 70 can be expressed as a percentage. When the exhaust valve 70 is fully closed, the opening of the exhaust valve 70 is zero; when the exhaust valve 70 is fully opened, the opening of the exhaust valve 70 is 100%.

[0086] The adjustment ratio of the exhaust valve 70 refers to the percentage of the adjusted opening of the exhaust valve 70.

[0087] The exhaust valve 70 is used to adjust the negative pressure of the oven 10. Adjusting the exhaust valve 70 according to a constant adjustment ratio is beneficial to simplifying the logical operation process of adjusting the opening of the exhaust valve 70 without affecting production safety and improving the response speed.

[0088] In some embodiments, adjusting the speed of the exhaust fan 60 according to the second measured negative pressure of the plurality of ovens 10 includes: Calculating a negative pressure average of the second measured negative pressures of the plurality of ovens 10; If the negative pressure average is greater than the upper limit of the average negative pressure range, the speed of the exhaust fan 60 is reduced; If the negative pressure average is less than the lower limit of the average negative pressure range, the rotation speed of the exhaust fan 60 is increased.

[0089] The average negative pressure range may be a preset negative pressure range of the drying device 1 , and the average negative pressure range may be an average range of negative pressures allowed in a plurality of ovens 10 under a safety premise.

[0090] If the negative pressure average of the second measured negative pressures of the multiple ovens 10 is greater than the upper limit of the average negative pressure range, it means that the average negative pressure in the multiple ovens 10 is too large, which may affect the drying or performance of the electrode 2. At this time, reducing the rotation speed of the exhaust fan 60 can reduce the exhaust volume of each oven 10, which is conducive to reducing the negative pressure in each oven 10, increasing the negative pressure adjustment speed, and reducing the adverse effects on the electrode 2 and the energy consumption of the exhaust fan 60.

[0091] If the average negative pressure of the second measured negative pressure of multiple ovens 10 is less than the lower limit of the average negative pressure range, it means that the average negative pressure in the multiple ovens 10 is too small, and there is a risk of leakage of the target gas in the ovens 10. At this time, increasing the rotation speed of the exhaust fan 60 is beneficial to increase the negative pressure in each oven 10, reduce the risk of leakage of the target gas, and improve production safety.

[0092] In some embodiments, the speed of the exhaust fan 60 is adjusted according to a constant speed value. In other words, the speed value of the exhaust fan 60 is adjusted to be the same each time.

[0093] The adjusted speed value of the exhaust fan 60 includes a reduced speed value of the exhaust fan 60 and an increased speed value of the exhaust fan 60. Exemplarily, the speed of the exhaust fan 60 may be increased or decreased by 1 rpm each time.

[0094] The exhaust fan 60 is used to adjust the negative pressure of multiple ovens 10. Adjusting the speed of the exhaust fan 60 according to a constant speed value is beneficial to simplifying the logical operation process of the speed adjustment of the exhaust fan 60 without affecting production safety and improving the response speed.

[0095] Figure 3 is a schematic flow chart of a control method for a drying device provided in some other embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the control method for the drying device 1 provided in the embodiments of the present application further includes: Step S50, obtaining a first measured concentration of the target gas in each oven 10; Step S60, adjusting the opening of the air inlet valve 50 of each oven 10 according to the first measured concentration of each oven 10, wherein the air inlet valve 50 is used to control the air inlet of the oven 10; Step S70, obtaining a second measured concentration of the target gas in each oven 10 after being adjusted by the air inlet valve 50; and Step S80 , adjusting the rotation speed of the air inlet fan 20 according to the second measured concentration of the plurality of ovens 10 .

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, there is no particular limitation on the execution order of steps S50 to S80 and the execution order of steps S10 to S40. In some examples, steps S10 to S40 may be executed first, and then steps S50 to S80 may be executed. In another example, steps S50 to S80 may be executed first, and then steps S10 to S40 may be executed. In yet another example, steps S10 and S50 may be executed simultaneously, steps S20 and S60 may be executed simultaneously, steps S30 and S70 may be executed simultaneously, and steps S40 and S80 may be executed simultaneously.

[0097] The type of gas volatilized into the oven 10 during the drying process of the electrode 2 may also be different depending on the material of the electrode 2. In the embodiment of the present application, the target gas may be NMP gas or other gas that is easily volatilized from the electrode material during the drying process of the electrode.

[0098] The gas delivered to the oven 10 can dilute the target gas in the oven 10. The concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 can be adjusted by adjusting the opening of the air inlet valve 50. For example, when other parameters remain unchanged, the opening of the air inlet valve 50 increases, the air intake of the oven 10 increases, and the measured concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 can be reduced. Conversely, the opening of the air inlet valve 50 decreases, the air intake of the oven 10 decreases, and the measured concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 can be increased.

[0099] In step S60, adjusting the opening of the air inlet valve 50 of each oven 10 according to the first measured concentration of the target gas in each oven 10 means adjusting the opening of the air inlet valve 50 of the oven 10 according to the first measured concentration. In other words, the opening of the air inlet valve 50 is adjusted only according to the first measured concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 corresponding to the air inlet valve 50, and has nothing to do with the concentration of the target gas in other ovens 10.

[0100] The speed of the air inlet fan 20 simultaneously affects the air inlet volume of the multiple ovens 10. For example, when other parameters of each oven 10 remain unchanged, the greater the speed of the air inlet fan 20, the greater the total air volume delivered by the air inlet fan 20 to the multiple ovens 10, and the greater the air inlet volume of each oven 10.

[0101] If the target gas concentration in the oven 10 is too high, there may be safety risks. If the target gas concentration in the oven 10 is too low, it means that the air intake in the oven 10 is too large, which dilutes the concentration of the target gas. The fresh air entering the oven 10 needs to be heated to dry the electrode 2, which consumes a lot of energy.

[0102] The opening degree of the air inlet valve 50 of each oven 10 can affect the air inlet volume of the oven 10, and the speed of the air inlet fan 20 can simultaneously affect the air inlet volume of multiple ovens 10. Adjusting the air inlet volume of the oven 10 can adjust the target gas concentration of the oven 10. The second measured concentration of the target gas after self-adjustment of the multiple ovens 10 can directly represent the overall air inlet volume adjustment requirements of the multiple ovens 10.

[0103] The embodiment of the present application firstly self-regulates the concentration of the target gas in each oven 10 through the air inlet valve 50 of each oven 10, and then adjusts the rotation speed of the air inlet fan 20 according to the second measured concentration of the target gas after self-regulation of the multiple ovens 10, which can meet the overall regulation demand of the multiple ovens 10 for the air inlet volume, thereby simultaneously regulating the target gas concentration in each oven 10, which is beneficial to improving the regulation efficiency of the target gas concentration in the multiple ovens 10 and achieving a balance between production safety and energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0104] In some embodiments, adjusting the opening of the air inlet valve of each oven 10 according to the first measured concentration of each oven 10 obtained includes: If the first measured concentration is greater than the upper limit of the target concentration range of the oven 10, the opening of the air inlet valve 50 is increased; If the first measured concentration is less than the lower limit of the target concentration range, the opening of the air inlet valve 50 is reduced.

[0105] Furthermore, if the first measured concentration is within the target concentration range, the opening of the air inlet valve 50 is kept unchanged.

[0106] Each oven 10 is preset with a target concentration range. The target concentration range corresponding to each oven 10 may be a concentration range that the target gas in the oven 10 is allowed to have under the premise of safety.

[0107] The target concentration ranges of different ovens 10 may be the same or different.

[0108] If the first measured concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 is greater than the upper limit of the target concentration range of the oven 10, it means that the concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 is too high, and there is a safety risk. At this time, increasing the opening of the air inlet valve 50 can increase the air intake of the oven 10, thereby diluting the target gas in the oven 10 and reducing the target gas concentration in the oven 10, which is conducive to improving the regulation efficiency and production safety.

[0109] If the first measured concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 is less than the lower limit of the target concentration range in the oven 10, it means that the concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 is too low, lower than the lower limit of the safety range. Under the premise of safety, the concentration of the target gas has a certain room for increase. At this time, reducing the opening of the air inlet valve 50 can reduce the air intake of the oven 10. Even if the concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 increases, it is not likely to cause safety hazards. In addition, the air intake of the oven 10 is equivalent to fresh air, which needs to be heated before the electrode 2 can be dried. Reducing the air intake of the oven 10 can reduce heating energy consumption under the premise of production safety.

[0110] In some embodiments, the adjustment ratio of the opening of the air inlet valve 50 is positively correlated with the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration and the target concentration threshold of the oven 10, wherein the target concentration threshold is within the target concentration range.

[0111] Each oven 10 is preset with a target concentration threshold value, and the target concentration threshold value may be an optional value for a relatively better concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 .

[0112] The preset target concentration thresholds corresponding to the multiple ovens 10 may be the same or different.

[0113] The preset target concentration threshold corresponding to each oven 10 is within the preset target concentration range corresponding to the oven 10. The target concentration threshold is greater than the lower limit of the target concentration range and less than the upper limit of the target concentration range.

[0114] Optionally, the preset target concentration threshold corresponding to each oven 10 may be the middle value of the preset target concentration range corresponding to the oven 10. The difference between the target concentration threshold and the lower limit of the target concentration range and the difference between the upper limit of the target concentration range and the target concentration threshold may be the same or different, but relatively close.

[0115] The absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration of the target gas and the target concentration threshold can characterize the degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas deviates from the target concentration range. For example, when the first measured concentration of the target gas is greater than the upper limit of the target concentration range, the greater the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration of the target gas and the target concentration threshold, the greater the degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas deviates from the target concentration range; the greater the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration of the target gas and the target concentration threshold, the smaller the degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas deviates from the target concentration range. For another example, when the first measured concentration of the target gas is less than the lower limit of the target concentration range, the greater the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration of the target gas and the target concentration threshold, the greater the degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas deviates from the target concentration range; the smaller the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration of the target gas and the target concentration threshold, the smaller the degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas deviates from the target concentration range.

[0116] The opening of the air inlet valve 50 can be expressed as a percentage. When the air inlet valve 50 is fully closed, the opening of the air inlet valve 50 is zero; when the air inlet valve 50 is fully opened, the opening of the air inlet valve 50 is 100%.

[0117] The adjustment ratio of the air inlet valve 50 refers to the percentage of the adjusted opening of the air inlet valve 50.

[0118] The degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 deviates from the target concentration range can represent the required adjustment rate of the concentration of the target gas in the oven 10. For example, the greater the degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas deviates from the target concentration range, the faster the concentration of the target gas needs to be adjusted, and the faster the air intake of the oven 10 needs to be increased.

[0119] The adjustment ratio of the opening of the air inlet valve 50 is positively correlated with the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration and the target concentration threshold, that is, the greater the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration of the target gas and the target concentration threshold, the greater the adjustment ratio of the opening of the air inlet valve 50; the smaller the absolute value of the difference between the first measured concentration of the target gas and the target concentration threshold, the smaller the adjustment ratio of the opening of the air inlet valve 50. Therefore, the adjustment ratio of the opening of the air inlet valve 50 matches the degree to which the first measured concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 deviates from the target concentration range, and the adjustment ratio of the opening of the air inlet valve 50 can adapt to the adjustment rate of the air intake required by the oven 10, reduce the risk of the concentration of the target gas in the oven 10 fluctuating, and help improve production safety and the drying quality of the electrode 2.

[0120] In some embodiments, adjusting the speed of the air inlet fan 20 according to the second measured concentration of the plurality of ovens 10 includes: Calculating a concentration average of the second measured concentrations of the plurality of ovens 10; If the average concentration is greater than the upper limit of the average concentration range, the speed of the air inlet fan 20 is increased; If the mean concentration is less than the lower limit of the average concentration range, the rotation speed of the air inlet fan 20 is reduced.

[0121] The average concentration range may be a concentration range preset for the drying device 1 , and the average concentration range may be an average range of concentrations of the target gas in a plurality of ovens 10 that is allowed to have under a safety premise.

[0122] If the average of the second measured concentrations of the multiple ovens 10 is greater than the upper limit of the average concentration range, it means that the average concentration of the target gas in the multiple ovens 10 has exceeded the standard, and there is a safety hazard. At this time, increasing the speed of the air inlet fan 20 can provide more air intake to the ovens 10, thereby reducing the concentration of the target gas in each oven 10, which is conducive to increasing the adjustment speed of the target gas concentration and reducing safety risks.

[0123] If the average concentration of the second measured concentrations of multiple ovens 10 is less than the lower limit of the average concentration range, it means that the average concentration of the target gas in the multiple ovens 10 is relatively low and a larger air intake volume is not required. At this time, reducing the rotation speed of the air intake fan 20 is beneficial to reducing the energy consumption of the air intake fan 20 to counteract wind resistance.

[0124] In some embodiments, the adjustment speed of the air inlet fan 20 is positively correlated with the absolute value of the difference between the concentration mean and the average concentration threshold, wherein the average concentration threshold is within the average concentration range.

[0125] The regulating speed of the air inlet fan 20 includes increasing the speed and decreasing the speed of the air inlet fan 20 .

[0126] The average concentration threshold may be a concentration threshold preset for the drying device 1 , and the average concentration threshold may be an optional value for which the average gas concentration of the target gas in the plurality of ovens 10 is relatively optimal.

[0127] The average concentration threshold is greater than a lower limit value of the average concentration range and less than an upper limit value of the average concentration range.

[0128] Optionally, the average concentration threshold may be the middle value of the average concentration range, and the difference between the average concentration threshold and the lower limit of the average concentration range may be the same as or different from the difference between the upper limit of the average concentration range and the average concentration threshold, but are relatively close.

[0129] The absolute value of the difference between the mean concentration of the target gas in the multiple ovens 10 and the average concentration threshold value can represent the degree to which the concentration of the target gas in the multiple ovens 10 as a whole deviates from the average concentration range. For example, when the mean concentration is greater than the upper limit of the average concentration range, the greater the absolute value of the difference between the mean concentration and the average concentration threshold value, the greater the degree to which the concentration of the target gas in the multiple ovens 10 as a whole deviates from the average concentration range. For another example, when the mean concentration is less than the lower limit of the average concentration range, the greater the absolute value of the difference between the mean concentration and the average concentration threshold value, the greater the degree to which the concentration of the target gas in the multiple ovens 10 as a whole deviates from the average concentration range.

[0130] The degree to which the concentration of the target gas of the multiple ovens 10 as a whole deviates from the average concentration range can represent the required air intake adjustment rate of the multiple ovens 10 as a whole. For example, the greater the degree to which the concentration of the target gas of the multiple ovens 10 as a whole deviates from the average concentration range, the faster the concentration of the target gas of the multiple ovens 10 as a whole needs to be adjusted, and the faster the air intake of the multiple ovens 10 needs to be increased.

[0131] The adjustment speed of the air inlet fan 20 is positively correlated with the absolute value of the difference between the mean concentration and the average concentration threshold, that is, the greater the absolute value of the difference between the mean concentration and the average concentration threshold, the greater the adjustment speed of the air inlet fan 20; the smaller the absolute value of the difference between the mean concentration and the average concentration threshold, the smaller the adjustment speed of the air inlet fan 20. Therefore, the adjustment speed of the air inlet fan 20 matches the degree to which the overall target gas concentration of the multiple ovens 10 deviates from the average concentration range, and the adjustment speed of the air inlet fan 20 can adapt to the adjustment rate of the air intake volume required by the multiple ovens 10, and can also balance the energy consumption of the air inlet fan 20, which is beneficial to energy saving.
