Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrolytic copper foil production, in particular to an electrolytic copper foil end face anti-oxidation device for lithium batteries and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the background of rapid iteration of electronic products and vigorous development of new energy automobile industry, the demand for lithium batteries is increasing, and the application field of electrolytic copper foil as the core material of lithium battery negative electrode current collector is continuously expanding. The manufacturing process of electrolytic copper foil for lithium batteries mainly includes: copper solution preparation, electrolytic preparation of green foil, surface treatment and slitting. First, the green foil prepared by electrolysis is subjected to surface treatment, which will deposit a layer of anti-oxidation film on the surface of the copper foil to prevent the copper foil from contacting oxygen. Then the copper foil is wound on the core, and in the slitting process, the copper foil after surface treatment is cut into electrolytic copper foil products of different widths according to different customer requirements. At this time, since the anti-oxidation film on the end face is cut off, the newly formed end face of the electrolytic copper foil is easy to oxidize and discolor without the protection of the anti-oxidation layer, which may cause problems such as poor welding and abnormal end face conductivity in downstream applications.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to prevent the end face of the electrolytic copper foil product after slitting from oxidizing, the copper foil factory generally uses a stop ring to protect the two end faces of the copper foil after cutting, and then wraps the entire copper foil and end face with shock-absorbing pearl wool or PE film to achieve anti-oxidation of the end face of the electrolytic copper foil after slitting. The stop ring mainly serves as a support and protection, which can achieve anti-oxidation of the end face of the electrolytic copper foil to some extent. However, after wrapping with pearl wool or PE film, there will still be some oxygen between the two end faces and the stop ring, which will cause oxidation of the two end faces. Secondly, during use, the diameter of the entire copper foil will continuously decrease, which will cause the diameter of the stop ring to be larger than the diameter of the copper foil roll. Due to the difference in diameter, the amount of internal oxygen will increase during wrapping, which will exacerbate oxidation. If different diameter stop rings are replaced continuously, not only is the operation tedious and time-consuming, but also the operation efficiency is low, and the risk of oxidation of the outer end face of the electrolytic copper foil cannot be avoided.

The electrolytic copper foil end surface oxidation preventing device for lithium batteries according to claim 1, characterized by An arc-shaped groove (24) is formed in the side of each arc-shaped clamping plate (10) close to the end face of the copper foil roll, and a flexible pad strip (25) is arranged in the arc-shaped groove (24).

8. The electrolytic copper foil end surface oxidation preventing device for lithium batteries according to claim 1, characterized by The self-adjusting mechanism (16) comprises a fixed seat (160), a telescopic arm (161) movably arranged inside the fixed seat (160), one side of the telescopic arm (161) being fixedly connected with the second toothed plate (15), the bottom of the telescopic arm (161) being further connected with a spring (162), the other end of the spring (162) being fixedly connected with a bottom plate (163), the bottom plate (163) being fixed on the inner ring (4), the top of the telescopic arm (161) being further fixedly connected with a cross plate (164), the distal end bottom of the cross plate (164) being further movably arranged with a roller (165).

9. A method of using an electrolytic copper foil end surface oxidation prevention device for a lithium battery, characterized by, The method for using the end surface oxidation prevention device for electrolytic copper foil of lithium battery according to any one of claims 1-8 comprises the following steps: Step 1: filling the oxidant, when the oxidant is in granular form, first place the oxidant in the first receiving cavity (22) and the second receiving cavity (23), when the oxidant is in powder form, it needs to be wrapped with gauze or gauze, then use a screw to fix the check ring (18) in the circular groove (17) on one side of the outer ring (6), and ensure that the middle of the check ring (18) is sleeved on the fixed ring (1); Step 2: positioning the fixed ring (1), sleeving the two fixed rings (1) on the two end cores (2) respectively, stopping the movement of the fixed ring (1) when moving to 10 mm away from the two ends of the copper foil roll (5), then turning the adjusting screw (19), the arc-shaped fastening plate (20) is gradually in contact with the core (2) in the process of rotating the adjusting screw (19), so that the fixed ring (1) is locked on the core (2); Step 3: adjusting the position, after the fixed ring (1) is locked, according to the diameter of the copper foil roll, manually synchronously lifting the two symmetrical cross plates (164) to make the roller (165) in contact with the outermost layer of the copper foil roll, the spring (162) will be stretched in this process, and the second toothed plate (15) will drive the second transmission gear (14) to rotate in the process of lifting, the second transmission gear (14) synchronously drives the gear ring (12) to rotate inside the outer ring (6), in the process of rotating the gear ring (12), the first transmission gear (13) will also be driven to rotate, the first transmission gear (13) will drive the first toothed plate (9) engaged therewith to move, and the first toothed plate (9) will drive the sliding arm (8) to move, so that the arc-shaped clamping plate (10) can automatically contact the outermost layer of the copper foil roll with the change of the diameter of the copper foil roll; Step 4: wrapping and adsorbing, wrapping the entire oxidation prevention assembly at both ends of the copper foil roll with pearl wool or PE film, the built-in oxidant can adsorb the internal oxygen and moisture, thereby avoiding the oxidation of the end surfaces of the copper foil.
