Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of lithium battery production, and in particular to a lithium battery electrode raw material feeding device, a lithium battery production system and a method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Lithium battery, also known as lithium power battery, is a high-energy battery successfully developed in the mid-20th century. The negative electrode of this battery is a metal containing lithium ions, and the positive electrode is made of MnO2, SOCL2 and other materials. Due to its high energy, high battery voltage, wide operating temperature range, and long storage life, lithium batteries have been widely used in military and civilian fields. With the development of science and technology, large-capacity lithium batteries can be used as a stable and reliable source of power, making it possible for cars to be driven by electricity, especially after 2020. The technological explosion of lithium batteries has promoted the rapid development of electric vehicle technology; in addition to the field of electric vehicles, lithium batteries are also widely used in artificial satellites, aerospace, energy storage and other fields.
[0003] The existing lithium battery production technology has the following problems: 1. The amount of material put in during the feeding process is difficult to control; 2. When preparing the slurry for coating the current collector, if the particle size of the raw material is relatively small and its specific surface area is large, it will make it difficult to control the particle size distribution, resulting in unreasonable local slurry ratio, which may not only lead to instability of the same batch of pole pieces, but also unreasonable raw material ratios may increase the internal resistance of the battery, reduce battery performance and service life; 3. After the pole pieces are prepared, due to slight differences in the shape of each battery shell and electrode, the position of the electrode relative to the battery shell may be inaccurate, and due to the obstruction of the electrode by other components, it is difficult to intuitively find that the position of the electrode is wrong. The incorrect position of the electrode will lead to poor product quality, such as decreased battery performance, burrs piercing the diaphragm after a period of use causing short circuits, increased battery internal resistance, and decreased Coulomb efficiency in cycle performance.
