Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of evaporation boats, in particular to a novel evaporation boat. Background Art
[0002] In the application of lithium-ion batteries, the current collector is a key component, which mainly carries the electrode material and conducts electrons. The composite current collector adopts a three-layer composite structure of "metal-polymer material-metal", which has many advantages such as low cost, high safety, high specific energy and long life. It is a new type of composite material made of polymer materials such as PET / PP as the base film, and forms nano-scale metal on the surface of the polymer base film by vacuum evaporation, magnetron sputtering and other methods. Among them, vacuum evaporation refers to a process method in which a certain heating evaporation method is used under vacuum conditions to vaporize and evaporate the coating material, and the particles fly to the surface of the substrate and condense into a film. For composite aluminum current collectors, vacuum evaporation is generally used. In the aluminum evaporation process, the carrier of aluminum evaporation has always been a production difficulty with extremely high cost and difficult operation. The mainstream carriers in the industry are graphite or metal crucibles and ceramic evaporation boats. Since the evaporation boat has the advantages of easy operation and low cost, it has broad development prospects.
[0003] At present, in the actual production process, there will be problems such as aluminum splashing, uneven coating, and serious loss of evaporation boat. Among them, the aluminum splashing phenomenon will cause aluminum metal convex points on the membrane surface, and even burn through the base film to form pinholes in severe cases. The impact of aluminum splashing points is mainly on the battery end. First, when the pole piece is coated, the aluminum metal convex points will form scratches on the coating surface and even cause the belt to break. Second, the metal convex points and perforations in the rolling process will cause a large difference in extension between the defective area and the surrounding position under high pressure, causing rolling belt breakage under the tension of the belt. Third, the aluminum metal particles splashed on the membrane are in direct contact with the diaphragm inside the battery, which can easily cause the diaphragm to be punctured, increase the short-circuit rate of the process, and cause the risk of self-discharge. This is mainly because the traditional rectangular evaporation boat is prone to uneven distribution of molten aluminum and uneven heating of the evaporation boat. Summary of the invention

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] Example: Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the present invention provides a new evaporation boat technical solution, characterized in that: the new evaporation boat comprises a working box 1, a coil feeding member 2 is installed on the working box 1, two rotating holes 4 are symmetrically opened on the working box 1, and rotating columns 7 are rotatably installed on the two rotating holes 4, a mounting plate 5 is installed on the working box 1, and a driving motor 6 is installed on the mounting plate 5, and the output shaft of the driving motor 6 is connected to a rotating column 7, and the two rotating columns 7 are connected through a cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and two annular partitions 9 are symmetrically arranged in the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and the two annular partitions 9 are connected through a heating wire 11, and the two annular partitions 9 are installed with electrode holders 10 on the side away from the heating wire 11, and two feeding assemblies 14 are symmetrically arranged on the working box 1.
[0036] When used specifically, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a composite aluminum current collector using the novel evaporation boat, firstly, a layer of aluminum oxide with a thickness of 1-50 nm is evaporated on a polymer base film such as PET / PP, and then a metal aluminum layer is evaporated on the aluminum oxide layer once or multiple times to form a composite aluminum current collector, a PET film with a thickness of 6 μm is selected as a substrate, i.e., a base film 3, which is placed in a working box 1, and the base film is threaded in the correct direction through a roll-feeding member 2, and then the working box 1 is evacuated, the oxygen source switch is turned on, the oxygen flow rate is set to 1000 sccm, and a molten metal is input to the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 through a feeding assembly 14. The molten aluminum liquid is synchronously started with the driving motor 6, and the driving motor 6 drives the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 to rotate through the rotating column 7, so that the aluminum liquid is evenly distributed on the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and at the same time, the heating wire 11 is energized through the electrode holder 10 to heat and evaporate the aluminum liquid on the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and the gaseous aluminum material adheres to the base film 3 to complete the coating. The use of a new cylindrical evaporation boat 8 can make the distribution and heating of the aluminum liquid more uniform, improve the coating efficiency and coating uniformity, and use the internal heating of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 to make full use of the heat source, avoid the waste of heat energy caused by single-sided heating of the traditional rectangular evaporation boat, and save resources.
[0037] like Figure 3-Figure 8 As shown, the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 is made of ceramic with high thermal conductivity, the bottom diameter of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 is 1 cm-8 cm, and the height of the cylinder is 5 cm-20 cm.
[0038] The outer surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 is provided with diamond patterns 12, the side length of the diamond is 0.5cm-2.5cm, the angle between the sides of the diamond is smaller than the diagonal angle of 20°-90°, the depth of the diamond patterns 12 is 0.1mm-2mm, and each diamond is arranged in sequence on the outer surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8.
[0039] Flow-blocking strips 13 are provided at both ends of the diamond-shaped pattern 12 , and the depth of the flow-blocking strips 13 is consistent with that of the diamond-shaped pattern 12 .
[0040] Arranging diamond patterns 12 on the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 can make the molten aluminum flow along the patterns on the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, thereby increasing the spreading area of the aluminum. Moreover, the aluminum can quickly diffuse to all directions along the diamond patterns 12 and be evenly distributed on the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, thereby further improving the coating efficiency and coating uniformity. At the same time, the use of the rotating cylindrical evaporation boat 8 will avoid serious local aluminum accumulation, and can reduce the pinholes and bumps on the film surface caused by aluminum slag splashing, thereby improving the processing quality.
[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 6 and Fig. 9As shown, the feed assembly 14 includes a feed box 1401, a heating baffle 1402, a conveyor 1403, a melt pipe 1404 and a valve assembly 1405;
[0042] Two feed boxes 1401 are symmetrically installed on the working box 1, and two heating baffles 1402 are installed in the two feed boxes 1401. A conveyor 1403 is installed at the bottom of the feed box 1401, and a melt pipe 1404 is installed at the output port of the conveyor 1403. The melt pipe 1404 extends into the working box 1. A valve assembly 1405 is installed at the end of the melt pipe 1404, and the valve assembly 1405 is suspended directly above the blocking belt 13.
[0043] A heating partition 1402 is used in the feed box 1401 to melt the aluminum material. Only the molten aluminum material can flow to the conveyor 1403, and impurity materials with a melting point higher than that of aluminum are retained on the partition, thereby preventing some impurities and incompletely melted aluminum material from flowing to the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, effectively reducing the accumulation of impurities and aluminum slag on the surface of the evaporation boat, and extending the service life of the evaporation boat.
[0044] The valve assembly 1405 includes a valve body 1405a, a mounting hole 1405b, a pressure spring 1405c, a support spring 1405d, a flow-blocking ball 1405e, a limiting ring 1405f, a heat-conducting hole 1405g and a heat-conducting rod 1405h;
[0045] A valve body 1405a is installed at the end of the melt pipe 1404, and a mounting hole 1405b is provided in the valve body 1405a. A pressure spring 1405c is installed in the upper part of the mounting hole 1405b, and a support spring 1405d is installed in the lower part of the mounting hole 1405b. The pressure spring 1405c and the support spring 1405d are connected through a blocking ball 1405e. A heat conduction hole 1405g is provided on the valve body 1405a, and a heat conduction rod 1405h is installed in the heat conduction hole 1405g. One end of the heat conduction rod 1405h is in contact with the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and the other end is in contact with the pressure spring 1405c. A limit ring 1405f is installed in the upper part of the mounting hole 1405b, and a sensor is installed at the lower end of the limit ring 1405f. The sensor is electrically connected to the conveyor 1403, and the conveyor 1403 is electrically connected to the drive motor 6.
[0046] The elastic potential energy of the compression spring 1405c decreases as the temperature increases.
[0047] At normal temperature when not in operation, the pressure spring 1405c and the support spring 1405d are both in a compressed state. At this time, the blocking ball 1405e blocks the lower part of the mounting hole 1405b, and the aluminum liquid cannot flow to the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, thereby avoiding contamination of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and extending the service life of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8.
[0048] Before the coating work is carried out, the electrode holder 10 should be opened first to preheat the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 to prevent the temperature of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 from being insufficient to evaporate the aluminum material and causing local aluminum accumulation. As the surface temperature of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 rises, the heat energy can increase the temperature of the pressure spring 1405c through the heat-conducting rod 1405h, and the elastic potential energy of the pressure spring 1405c decreases. The thrust of the support spring 1405d on the baffle ball 1405e is greater than the pressure of the pressure spring 1405c on the baffle ball 1405e, so that the baffle ball 1405e moves up and gradually opens the valve. When the baffle ball 1405e moves up to contact the sensor on the limit ring 1405f, the sensor sends an electrical signal to control the conveyor 1403 to start conveying molten aluminum. At the same time, the conveyor 1403 sends an electrical signal to control the drive motor 6 to drive the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 to rotate and start the coating work.
[0049] The existence of the limit ring 1405f can effectively prevent the blocking ball 1405e from moving up too much, blocking the molten aluminum liquid from passing through the valve, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
[0050] like Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, a cleaning assembly 15 is provided in the working box 1, and the cleaning assembly 15 obtains power from the rotation of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8. The cleaning assembly 15 includes a driving gear 1501, a transmission gear 1502, a driven gear 1503, a transmission rod 1504, a slide 1505, a reciprocating screw 1506, a support rod 1507, a connecting rod 1508, an upper cleaning rod group 1509, a lower cleaning rod group 1510, a cleaning scraper 1511 and a collecting frame 1512;
[0051] A driving gear 1501 is installed on the rotating column 7 near the driving motor 6. The driving gear 1501 is located in the working box 1. The working box 1 is rotatably installed with a transmission gear 1502 and a driven gear 1503. The transmission gear 1502 is meshed with the driving gear 1501 and the driven gear 1503. A transmission rod 1504 is installed on the driven gear 1503. A slide groove 1505 is installed inside the working box 1. The transmission rod 1504 extends into the slide groove 1505 from one end of the slide groove 1505. 05 is rotatably mounted with a support rod 1507 at the other end, and the support rod 1507 is connected to the transmission rod 1504 through a reciprocating screw 1506, and a connecting rod 1508 is slidably mounted on the reciprocating screw 1506, and an upper cleaning rod group 1509 and a lower cleaning rod group 1510 are mounted on the connecting rod 1508, and a cleaning scraper 1511 is installed in the working box 1, and the cleaning scraper 1511 is located below the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 and tangent to the outer surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and a collecting frame 1512 is installed at the lower part of the working box 1.
[0052] The cleaning rods at the ends of the upper cleaning rod group 1509 and the lower cleaning rod group 1510 extend into the diamond pattern 12, and the number of cleaning rods at the ends of the upper cleaning rod group 1509 and the lower cleaning rod group 1510 is consistent with the number of diamonds arranged laterally, and the single sliding stroke of the connecting rod 1508 on the reciprocating screw 1506 is half the distance between the two farther vertices of the diamond.
[0053] When the driving motor 6 is running, the driving gear 1501 is driven to rotate synchronously through the rotating column 7. The driving gear 1501 drives the transmission gear 1502 to rotate due to the gear meshing. At the same time, the transmission gear 1502 drives the driven gear 1503 to rotate through the gear meshing action. When the driven gear 1503 rotates, the reciprocating screw 1506 is driven to rotate through the transmission rod 1504. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 1506 causes the connecting rod 1508 to slide back and forth horizontally in the slide groove 1505. When the connecting rod 1508 slides, it drives the upper cleaning rod group 1509 and the lower cleaning rod group 1510 to slide synchronously in the horizontal direction along the diamond pattern 12. At the same time, due to the rotation of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 The upper cleaning rod group 1509 and the lower cleaning rod group 1510 can scrape and clean the diamond pattern 12 to clean the accumulated aluminum liquid and avoid the subsequent accumulation of molten aluminum liquid flowing into the diamond pattern 12. While the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 rotates, the cleaning scraper 1511 can clean the aluminum liquid overflowing from the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8. The cleaned aluminum liquid falls downward to the collection frame 1512 to avoid falling on the working box 1 and causing pollution. The cleaning of the diamond pattern 12 can prevent the accumulation of aluminum liquid and affect the coating efficiency. The cleaning of the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 can prevent the aluminum liquid from damaging the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, extend the service life of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and avoid the uneven distribution of aluminum liquid affecting the coating quality.
[0054] Working principle of the present invention:
[0055] When used specifically, the present invention also provides a method for preparing a composite aluminum current collector using the novel evaporation boat, firstly, a layer of aluminum oxide with a thickness of 1-50 nm is evaporated on a polymer base film such as PET / PP, and then a metal aluminum layer is evaporated on the aluminum oxide layer once or multiple times to form a composite aluminum current collector, a PET film with a thickness of 6 μm is selected as a substrate, i.e., a base film 3, and placed in a working box 1, and the base film is threaded in the correct direction through a roll-feeding member 2, and then the working box 1 is evacuated, the oxygen source switch is turned on, the oxygen flow rate is set to 1000 sccm, and a melt is input to the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 through a feed assembly 14. The molten aluminum liquid is synchronously started with the driving motor 6, and the driving motor 6 drives the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 to rotate through the rotating column 7, so that the aluminum liquid is evenly distributed on the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and at the same time, the heating wire 11 is energized through the electrode holder 10 to heat and evaporate the aluminum liquid on the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and the gaseous aluminum material adheres to the base film 3 to complete the coating. The use of a new cylindrical evaporation boat 8 can make the distribution and heating of the aluminum liquid more uniform, improve the coating efficiency and coating uniformity, and use the internal heating of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 to make full use of the heat source, avoid the waste of heat energy caused by single-sided heating of the traditional rectangular evaporation boat, and save resources.
[0056] Arranging diamond patterns 12 on the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 can make the molten aluminum flow along the patterns on the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, thereby increasing the spreading area of the aluminum. Moreover, the aluminum can quickly diffuse to all directions along the diamond patterns 12 and be evenly distributed on the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, thereby further improving the coating efficiency and coating uniformity. At the same time, the use of the rotating cylindrical evaporation boat 8 will avoid serious local aluminum accumulation, and can reduce the pinholes and bumps on the film surface caused by aluminum slag splashing, thereby improving the processing quality.
[0057] A heating partition 1402 is used in the feed box 1401 to melt the aluminum material. Only the molten aluminum material can flow to the conveyor 1403, and impurity materials with a melting point higher than that of aluminum are retained on the partition, thereby preventing some impurities and incompletely melted aluminum material from flowing to the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, effectively reducing the accumulation of impurities and aluminum slag on the surface of the evaporation boat, and extending the service life of the evaporation boat.
[0058] At normal temperature when not in operation, the pressure spring 1405c and the support spring 1405d are both in a compressed state. At this time, the blocking ball 1405e blocks the lower part of the mounting hole 1405b, and the aluminum liquid cannot flow to the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, thereby avoiding contamination of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the cylindrical evaporation boat 8, and extending the service life of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8.
[0059] Before the coating work is carried out, the electrode holder 10 should be opened first to preheat the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 to prevent the temperature of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 from being insufficient to evaporate the aluminum material and causing local aluminum accumulation. As the surface temperature of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 rises, the heat energy can increase the temperature of the pressure spring 1405c through the heat-conducting rod 1405h, and the elastic potential energy of the pressure spring 1405c decreases. The thrust of the support spring 1405d on the baffle ball 1405e is greater than the pressure of the pressure spring 1405c on the baffle ball 1405e, so that the baffle ball 1405e moves up and gradually opens the valve. When the baffle ball 1405e moves up to contact the sensor on the limit ring 1405f, the sensor sends an electrical signal to control the conveyor 1403 to start conveying molten aluminum. At the same time, the conveyor 1403 sends an electrical signal to control the drive motor 6 to drive the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 to rotate and start the coating work.
[0060] The existence of the limit ring 1405f can effectively prevent the blocking ball 1405e from moving up too much, blocking the molten aluminum liquid from passing through the valve, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
[0061] When the driving motor 6 is running, the driving gear 1501 is driven to rotate synchronously through the rotating column 7. The driving gear 1501 drives the transmission gear 1502 to rotate due to the gear meshing. At the same time, the transmission gear 1502 drives the driven gear 1503 to rotate through the gear meshing action. When the driven gear 1503 rotates, the reciprocating screw 1506 is driven to rotate through the transmission rod 1504. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 1506 causes the connecting rod 1508 to slide back and forth horizontally in the slide groove 1505. When the connecting rod 1508 slides, it drives the upper cleaning rod group 1509 and the lower cleaning rod group 1510 to slide synchronously in the horizontal direction along the diamond pattern 12. At the same time, due to the rotation of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 The upper cleaning rod group 1509 and the lower cleaning rod group 1510 can scrape and clean the diamond pattern 12 to clean the accumulated aluminum liquid and avoid the subsequent accumulation of molten aluminum liquid flowing into the diamond pattern 12. While the cylindrical evaporation boat 8 rotates, the cleaning scraper 1511 can clean the aluminum liquid overflowing from the surface of the cylindrical evaporation boat 8. The cleaned aluminum liquid falls downward to the collection frame 1512 to avoid falling on the working box 1 and causing pollution. The cleaning of the diamond pattern 12 can prevent the accumulation of aluminum liquid and affect the coating efficiency.
