Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of lithium battery diaphragms and reverse osmosis membrane cleaning, and specifically to a guide roller combined hanging rack device for cleaning lithium battery diaphragms. Background Art

[0002] Lithium battery diaphragms also belong to reverse osmosis membranes. The main function of the diaphragm in battery materials is to isolate the positive and negative electrodes to prevent problems such as self-discharge and short-circuit of the battery. The main material used is a porous polymer membrane, including polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), so it is also called polyethylene film or PE film. With the gradual popularization of new energy vehicles, the future demand for power lithium battery materials will continue to grow. A lithium battery consists of positive and negative electrodes, an electrolyte, and a polymer separator membrane. The diaphragm is a high-value-added material with the highest technical barrier in lithium battery materials, and the gross profit margin usually reaches more than 70%, accounting for 20 - 30% of the cost of lithium batteries. Calculated as such, a single vehicle can use one thousand to two thousand square meters of diaphragms.

[0003] In the production and processing of diaphragms, the diaphragms need to be cleaned through multiple water tanks. Due to the long length of the diaphragms, guide rollers need to be fixed in the water tanks to support the diaphragms. The traditional installation method of the guide rollers is to directly fix the guide roller bearing seats on the inner walls of the water tanks to install the guide rollers. This method has the following disadvantages: High manufacturing cost and difficult to guarantee precision. Since the guide roller bearing seats are fixed on the two sides of the water tank, the rigidity requirements for the water tank are very high. As a result, the water tank uses more materials, has high welding and manufacturing difficulties, and high processing costs. And during the working process, it is very easy for the parallelism precision between the guide rollers to change due to factors such as the rigidity of the water tank itself, the temperature, and the water volume, thus affecting the working precision and further affecting the diaphragm processing quality. Difficult to install the guide rollers because the guide roller bearing seats are directly connected to the water tank. First, it is very difficult to ensure the parallelism between the guide rollers in a single water tank. Second, it is very difficult to ensure the position precision between the water tanks and the parallelism of all the guide rollers inside, so it is easy to cause the film path to deviate and unable to work properly. Difficult to repair and maintain. When disassembling the guide rollers or replacing the bearings, due to the low repeat positioning precision, a large amount of manpower and time are required to adjust the position precision and parallelism between the guide rollers.

[0004] Therefore, we designed a hanging rack independent of the water tank to install the guide rollers located inside the water tank, solving the problems of the traditional water tank in terms of precision, installation difficulty, and manufacturing cost. The installation and maintenance of the guide rollers are no longer affected by the water tank, greatly reducing the cost and improving the work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a guide roller combined hanging rack device for cleaning a lithium battery separator, so as to solve the problems put forward in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A guide roller combined hanging rack device for cleaning a lithium battery separator includes a guide roller frame located in a water tank and not in contact with the water tank. A plurality of guide rollers are evenly rotatably arranged on the upper and lower sides of the guide roller frame. The guide rollers are detachably connected to the guide roller frame, and the upper end of the guide roller frame is fixedly connected to a frame located above the water tank.

[0007] As a further preferred solution of the present invention: The guide roller frame includes two corresponding rectangular frames, and a plurality of positioning support rods are fixedly arranged between the two rectangular frames.

[0008] As a further preferred solution of the present invention: Ceramic bearings are arranged at the ends of the guide rollers. Bearing mounting holes corresponding to the ceramic bearings are opened on the rectangular frames, and the ceramic bearings are installed in the bearing mounting holes. A bearing gland for fixing the ceramic bearings is arranged at the upper end of the bearing mounting holes.

[0009] As a further preferred solution of the present invention: The rectangular frame is composed of two vertical fixing plates and two horizontal fixing plates. Positioning support rods are arranged on both the vertical fixing plates and the horizontal fixing plates, and the bearing mounting holes are opened at the upper ends of the horizontal fixing plates.

[0010] As a further preferred solution of the present invention: The upper ends of the vertical fixing plates are fixedly connected to L-shaped upper connecting plates, and the upper connecting plates are fixedly connected to the frame.

[0011] As a further preferred solution of the present invention: The length of the vertical fixing plate is adjustable.

[0012] As a further preferred solution of the present invention: Corresponding insertion plates and U-shaped plates are arranged at the centers of the vertical fixing plates. The insertion plates are inserted into the U-shaped plates and fixedly connected to the U-shaped plates through multiple groups of bolts.

[0013] As a further preferred solution of the present invention: Multiple groups of adjustment screw holes are arranged at the upper ends of the vertical fixing plates for adjusting the installation position of the upper connecting plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The guide roller combined hanging rack device has a frame structure. First, it has good rigidity and high strength and is not easily deformed. Second, the parts are guaranteed by precision machining and special processes. After combination, the mutual position accuracy of each bearing position is high, the installation is extremely convenient, and the accuracy is high, without the need for separate adjustment; 2. The hanging rack is not in contact with the water tank, and the working accuracy of the guide rollers will not be affected by the deformation of the water tank caused by factors such as its own rigidity, the amount of water, and the temperature, which affects the installation accuracy and working accuracy of the guide rollers; 3. Low manufacturing cost and convenient installation. First, the water tank does not require high rigidity and precision, which greatly saves material costs and manufacturing costs. Second, the guide roller hanging brackets of each water tank can be fully installed and the precision adjusted before installing the water tank. Finally, just place the water tank in place, without worrying about the changes in the position precision and parallelism of the guide rollers caused by the position precision and deformation of the water tank. It has low cost, high efficiency, and is convenient for after-sales maintenance and repair.

[0015] In summary, the design of the guide roller combined hanging bracket device makes the installation and operation of the guide rollers no longer affected by the water tank, reduces the processing cost and subsequent maintenance cost for the entire production process of the diaphragm, ensures the working precision, and greatly improves the working efficiency.
