Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a piston device of an extrusion coating machine, in particular to a throughput piston device for adjusting the thickness of a head and a tail of a pole piece of the extrusion coating machine. Background Art

[0002] Compared with traditional batteries, lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of higher energy, stronger discharge capacity and longer cycle life, and their energy storage efficiency can exceed 90%, and their safety performance is good. Therefore, lithium-ion batteries have great development prospects in electric vehicles and storage power sources. There are two main ways to coat the pole pieces in the production process of lithium-ion batteries: extrusion and transfer; the transfer coating method mainly relies on coating rollers, scrapers and back rollers; the extrusion coating method mainly relies on coating valves, reflux valves, extrusion heads and coating rollers.

[0003] The extrusion coating system is closed, which can prevent pollutants from entering during the coating process. Therefore, it has the advantages of high slurry utilization and stable slurry properties, and can adapt to different slurry viscosity ranges. Compared with the transfer coating process, it has stronger adaptability and is also the main coating method currently used in the front-end of lithium batteries.

[0004] However, the intermittent coating of the extrusion coating method relies on the high-speed switching between the coating valve and the reflux valve. The pulling force and thrust generated by the coating valve core and the reflux valve core at high speed switching will affect the pressure of the slurry in the inner cavity of the extrusion head, which will cause the head of the pole piece to be thicker and the tail to be thinner during coating. This phenomenon will directly affect the neatness of the winding of the pole piece after drying and the subsequent rolling process, resulting in inconsistent lateral density of the pole piece after rolling, thus warping to form a serpentine pole piece, affecting the subsequent strip processing and easily producing defective products; even, it will cause problems such as uneven current distribution during the charging and discharging process of the battery.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, this embodiment provides a throughput piston device for adjusting the thickness of the head and tail of the pole piece of an extrusion coating machine, comprising: a piston cylinder assembly 1, a piston rod assembly 2, a piston rod driving assembly 3 and a first clamp 4, wherein the piston cylinder assembly 1 is connected to the piston rod assembly 2 and the piston rod driving assembly 3 respectively; the piston rod assembly 2 is connected to the piston rod driving assembly 3 and is sleeved in the piston cylinder assembly 1; wherein the piston cylinder assembly 1 comprises a three-way pipe 11, a piston cylinder body 12, a guide cylinder body 13 and a connecting flange 14, The piston cylinder 12 is connected to the three-way pipe 11 through the first clamp 4, and the piston cylinder 12 is connected to the connecting flange 14 through the guide cylinder 13; the piston rod assembly 2 includes a locking structure, a sealing gasket 23, a pan seal 24, an O-ring 26, a piston rod 27, a retaining ring 28 and a first linear bearing 29, one end of the piston rod 27 is connected to the first linear bearing 29 through the retaining ring 28, and the other end of the piston rod 27 is connected to the locking structure through the O-ring 26, the pan seal 24 and the sealing gasket 23 Structure; The piston rod assembly 2 is equipped with a first linear bearing 29, which can play a good guiding role and prevent the piston device from getting stuck due to deflection after long-term use; the piston rod drive assembly 3 includes an upper connecting plate 31, a connecting shaft 32, an eccentric wheel 33, a lower connecting plate 34, a motor seat 35, a servo motor 36, a first bearing 37, a second bearing 38 and a second linear bearing 39.

During extrusion coating, the servo motor 36 of the piston rod drive assembly 3 drives the rotation of the eccentric wheel 33 to drive the movement of the upper connecting plate 31, and makes the piston rod 27 of the piston rod assembly 2 move in the piston cylinder body 12 of the piston cylinder assembly 1, thereby adjusting the slurry volume inside the extrusion head 7 to achieve control and regulation of the coating thickness. In the piston rod drive assembly 3, the servo motor 36 is used as the driving device of the piston structure, and the rotation of the servo motor 36 is converted into a linear reciprocating motion through the eccentric wheel 33, so as to achieve reliable regulation and control. The pan seal 24 is also called a one-way seal ring.

[0023] The assembly process of the throughput piston device of this embodiment includes the following steps: Step S1, first sleeve the O-ring 26 on the piston rod 27, then sleeve the flood seal 24 on the piston rod 27, and fix the sealing gasket 23 on the piston rod 27 through the locking structure to obtain an assembled first component; the first component refers to the component after assembling part of the structure of the piston rod assembly 2; Step S2, first, assemble a retaining ring 28 in the guide cylinder 13, install the first linear bearing 29 into the guide cylinder 13 and then install another retaining ring 28; then, insert one end of the first component assembled in step S1 into the first linear bearing 29 in the guide cylinder 13, and insert the other end into the piston cylinder 12; then, assemble the piston cylinder 12 and the guide cylinder 13, preferably through the second clamp 5; assemble the three-way pipe 11 and the piston cylinder 12 through the first clamp 4; and connect the guide cylinder 13 to the connecting flange 14, preferably through the second clamp 5 to obtain the second component; the second component refers to the component after the piston rod assembly 2 is assembled to the piston cylinder assembly 1; Step S3, the eccentric wheel 33 is assembled in the motor seat 35 through the first bearing 37 and the second bearing 38, and the first bearing 37 and the second bearing 38 are respectively arranged on the end and the mounting shaft of the eccentric wheel 33; the motor shaft of the servo motor 36 is inserted into the eccentric wheel 33 and fixed on the motor seat 35; two second linear bearings 39 are respectively installed on both sides of the motor seat 35 to prevent the direction from being offset during the movement and ensure reliable guidance of the movement; two connecting shafts 32 are inserted into the second linear bearings 39 on both sides, and the upper connecting plate 31 and the lower connecting plate 34 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the connecting shaft 32, so that the upper connecting plate 31 and the lower connecting plate 34 are respectively tangent to the second bearing 38, and a third component is obtained; the third component refers to the component after the piston rod drive assembly 3 is assembled; Step S4, connect the second component assembled in step S2 with the third component assembled in step S3, fix the piston rod 27 and the upper connecting plate 31 by threads, connect one pipe joint of the three-way pipe 11 to the pipe of the coating valve 6, and connect the other pipe joint to the pipe of the extrusion head 7, so as to complete the assembly of the throughput piston device, as shown in FIG. Fig.10 shown.

[0024] It is worth noting that the assembly process of the throughput piston device described in this embodiment also includes step S5. According to the coating thickness requirement, a preset length is first trial-coated, and the head thickness, middle thickness and tail thickness of the electrode are measured after the preset length is trial-coated to determine whether the differences between the head thickness, middle thickness and tail thickness of the electrode and the required coating thickness are all less than the preset thickness difference threshold. If so, the process is completed; if not, the displacement of the piston rod 27 of the throughput piston device is adjusted, and the process is restarted and returned to the preset length of trial coating until the differences between the head thickness, middle thickness and tail thickness of the electrode and the required coating thickness are all less than the preset thickness difference threshold.

[0025] The preset length described in this embodiment refers to the preset coating length, which can be adjusted according to actual conditions and needs. The thickness difference threshold refers to the preset thickness difference threshold between the coating thickness requirement, which can also be adjusted according to actual conditions and needs to ensure that the thickness difference between the head thickness, middle thickness and tail thickness of the electrode piece and the coating thickness requirement are within a controllable range, so as to improve the thickness uniformity of the electrode piece and reduce the defective rate of the electrode piece due to the thickness difference between the head and tail. In this embodiment, it is preferred to perform a trial coating and debugging process through step S5 before formal production, and then start formal production only after ensuring that the difference between the head thickness, middle thickness and tail thickness of the electrode piece and the required coating thickness is less than the preset thickness difference threshold, which can effectively improve the uniformity of the electrode material on the electrode piece during the actual production process, and improve the production efficiency and product yield of the electrode piece.

[0026] More specifically, the process of adjusting the displacement of the piston rod 27 of the throughput piston device in this embodiment is: the servo motor 36 of the piston rod driving assembly 3 drives the rotation of the eccentric wheel 33 to drive the movement of the upper connecting plate 31 (i.e., linear reciprocating motion in the vertical direction), and makes the piston rod 27 connected to the upper connecting plate 31 move in the piston cylinder 12, thereby generating negative pressure or positive pressure to adjust the slurry volume inside the extrusion head 7, thereby realizing the control and regulation of the coating thickness.

[0027] In this embodiment, when adjusting the coating thickness of the head and tail of the pole piece, the head thickness, middle thickness and tail thickness of the pole piece after the preset length of trial coating are first measured, and the slurry volume required to be increased or decreased is calculated, and the slurry volume is calculated by multiplying the coating area and the coating thickness; then, the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel 33 is controlled by the servo motor 36, so that the piston rod 27 performs a linear reciprocating motion in the piston cylinder 12, and the slurry volume inside the extrusion head 7 is changed according to the amount required to increase or decrease (that is, the slurry volume required to be increased or decreased calculated above), thereby realizing the thickness adjustment of the head and tail of the pole piece during coating.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment further includes a second clamp 5, and in the piston-cylinder assembly 1, the piston cylinder body 12 and the guide cylinder body 13, as well as the guide cylinder body 13 and the connecting flange 14 are all connected via the second clamp 5. That is to say, each structure of the piston-cylinder assembly 1 in this embodiment is preferably assembled detachably using a clamp structure, and this quick-release clamp design is more conducive to the subsequent quick disassembly, cleaning and maintenance.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking structure of this embodiment includes a hexagonal bolt 21 and a pressure plate 22, and the hexagonal bolt 21 fixes the pressure plate 22 above the sealing gasket 23. The sealing gasket 23 preferably adopts an EPDM sealing gasket to play a sealing role and prevent corrosion by slurry; at the same time, the matching pan seal 24 and O-ring 26 are used to prevent the EPDM sealing gasket from leaking due to long-term use and wear, which well ensures the reliability and service life of the product. Preferably, the piston rod assembly 2 of this embodiment also includes a guide belt 25, which is arranged between the pan seal 24 and the O-ring 26 to play a guiding and protective role.

[0030] In the step S2 of the present embodiment, the small end of the first component, that is, the smaller lower end, is inserted into the first linear bearing 29 of the guide cylinder body 13; and the large end of the first component, that is, the larger upper end, is inserted into the piston cylinder body 12.

[0031] like Figure 4 as well as Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the piston rod drive assembly 3 of this embodiment further includes a fixing block 310 and a connecting block 311. The fixing block 310 is disposed on the top of the upper connecting plate 31. The fixing block 310 is connected to the piston rod 27 via the connecting block 311, so as to realize the detachable installation and linkage control of the piston rod 27. Figure 5 As shown, the connecting flange 14 of this embodiment adopts a throughput valve flange, and limiting steps 141 are provided at the top and bottom of the throughput valve flange to provide installation space and limiting effect for the second clamp 5, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reliability of the product.

[0032] In summary, the present embodiment includes a piston cylinder assembly 1, a piston rod assembly 2, a piston rod drive assembly 3 and a first clamp 4, wherein the piston cylinder assembly 1 is connected to the piston rod assembly 2 and the piston rod drive assembly 3 respectively; the piston rod assembly 2 is connected to the piston rod drive assembly 3 and is sleeved in the piston cylinder assembly 1. During extrusion coating, the servo motor 36 of the piston rod drive assembly 3 can drive the rotation of the eccentric wheel 33 to drive the movement of the upper connecting plate 31, and make the piston rod 27 of the piston rod assembly 2 move in the piston cylinder body 12 of the piston cylinder assembly 1, thereby adjusting the slurry volume inside the extrusion head 7 to control and adjust the coating thickness. Therefore, the present embodiment can adjust the coating thickness of the head and tail of the electrode piece, which well solves the problem of thick head and thin tail caused by high-speed switching of the coating valve 6 and the reflux valve in the prior art, effectively improves the uniformity of the electrode material on the electrode piece, and improves the production efficiency and product yield of the electrode piece.
