[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wet-process lithium battery diaphragm extraction process, in particular to a device for reducing the volatilization of an extractant in an extraction tank. Background Art

[0002] Extraction and drying is an important process in the production of wet-process lithium battery diaphragms. Due to the continuous characteristics of diaphragm production in each process, there are many gaps in the diaphragm production line for the diaphragm to pass through. Therefore, the low-boiling volatile organic extractant used to extract the pore-forming agent in the diaphragm will diffuse into the environment in an unorganized manner through the gaps at the inlet and outlet of the extraction tank, which greatly increases the consumption of raw material extractants and increases production costs. On the other hand, the harm of the extractant volatilized into the workshop environment to the production environment and the health of operators cannot be ignored.

[0003] At present, the drying furnace of the original production equipment is separated by a baffle in the middle, and the bottom of the baffle is connected. The diaphragm passes through the position without a baffle below, which will cause a large amount of volatilization of the extractant. Summary of the invention

[0009] At least one set of mutually coordinated drying and extraction rollers and wind knives are arranged above the wiper roller. The drying and extraction rollers and wind knives are respectively located on both sides of the diaphragm and the diaphragm is attached to the drying and extraction rollers. The wind knives can control the temperature and air volume.

The surface hardness of the wiper roller is greater than HRC60. The wiper roller is provided with a ceramic bearing and is an active drive roller connected to a motor, thereby reducing the friction between the membrane surface and the roller surface. The interior of the wiper roller is passed through circulating heat-conducting oil, and the temperature of the wiper roller can be controlled by an oil temperature controller to enhance the drying effect of the diaphragm.

[0013] The wiper roller is arranged on a wiper roller bracket, and the wiper roller bracket is fixed inside the drying furnace.
