[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-3 The utility model is further described.
[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the utility model in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, other embodiments obtained by technicians in this field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the utility model. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships involved in the patent do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the formation of a better connection structure by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the creation of the utility model can be combined interchangeably without conflicting with each other.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , an oven return air duct structure, which can be applied to the drying operation of lithium battery pole pieces, and can be installed below the air nozzle in the oven when in use. The oven return air duct structure includes a return air duct body 1, and a plurality of upper return air holes 11 are evenly opened on the upper surface of the return air duct body 1, and the return air holes are connected to the inside of the return air duct body 1; a plurality of side return air holes 12 are evenly opened on the opposite sides of the return air duct body 1, and the side return air holes 12 are connected to the inside of the return air duct body 1; a fresh air inlet 14 is also opened on one side of the return air duct body 1, and the fresh air inlet 14 is connected to the inside of the return air duct body 1, and the fresh air inlet 14 is connected to the external fresh air duct, and is used to send clean gas into the return air duct body 1. An air outlet 13 is opened at one end of the return air duct body 1, and the airflow of the return air duct body 1 is discharged through the air outlet 13.
[0030] In this embodiment, the return air duct body 1 is a wedge-shaped structure, that is, the ventilation area of the return air duct body 1 gradually decreases along the length direction from the air outlet 13, that is, the ventilation area of the return air duct body 1 decreases as it is farther from the air outlet 13. When in use, the return air duct body 1 is often used in conjunction with a return air fan, which is arranged at the air outlet 13. However, as the distance from the air outlet 13 increases, the wind force gradually decreases, and setting the return air duct body 1 in a wedge-shaped structure is conducive to ensuring the wind force in the return air duct body 1 at a distance from the air outlet 13, so as to improve the uniformity of the return air.
[0031] Compared with the existing structure of setting a single return air outlet, this embodiment evenly opens a plurality of upper return air holes 11 and side return air holes 12 on the return air duct body 1, so that the return air structure is dispersed to various parts of the return air duct body 1, thereby effectively improving the uniformity of the return air and effectively reducing the possibility of forming an uneven airflow field due to a large flow at the return air outlet and a small flow far away from the air outlet.
[0032] In actual application, the air outlet 13 of the return air duct body 1 is connected to the return air cavity of the oven, and the fresh air inlet 14 is connected to the fresh air duct, and air is exhausted from the return air duct body 1, so that the interior of the return air duct body 1 is in a negative pressure state, and the air flow blown out from the air nozzle of the oven enters the return air duct body 1 from the upper return air hole 11 and the side return air hole 12, and the fresh air duct transmits clean gas to the return air duct body 1 through the fresh air inlet 14, and the dry gas entering the return air duct body 1 enters the return air cavity from the air outlet 13. When the oven is working for a long time, the air inside the oven will have a lot of volatile impurities, and it is necessary to discharge the air in the oven regularly and provide new clean air through the fresh air duct. However, if the fresh air is directly introduced into the oven, there is a temperature difference between the temperature of the fresh air and the temperature inside the oven, which will disrupt the air flow stability in the oven. By opening a fresh air inlet 14 on the return air duct body 1, the fresh air first passes through the return air duct body 1 and is mixed with the original hot air in the return air duct body 1, and then enters the return air cavity after being heated, which effectively reduces the temperature difference between the fresh air and the inside of the oven, which is beneficial to maintaining the working stability of the oven.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The return air duct body 1 is provided with an oil guide groove 2. The airflow out of the oven is usually mixed with oily impurities such as white oil evaporated by the film substrate during drying. The oil guide groove 2 is used to intercept these oily impurities and then recycle them uniformly. In this embodiment, the oil guide groove 2 includes an inner oil guide groove 21. The inner oil guide groove 21 is fixedly arranged inside the return air duct body 1, and the inner oil guide groove 21 is located below the upper return air hole 11. The airflow entering from the upper return air hole 11 all flows through the inner oil guide groove 21. The inner return air holes 211 are evenly opened on the opposite sides of the inner oil guide groove 21. The inner return air holes 211 are connected to the inside of the return air duct body 1. The airflow flowing through the inner oil guide groove 21 enters the return air duct body 1 from the inner return air holes 211. The oil guide groove 2 also includes a side oil guide groove 22, which is fixedly arranged on opposite sides of the upper surface of the return air duct, and the side oil guide groove 22 is located on the side of the side return air hole 12 close to the upper surface of the return air duct body 1. In this embodiment, the side oil guide groove 22 is a "V"-shaped structure, and the airflow may be retained on the upper surface of the return air duct before entering the return air duct body 1 from the upper return air hole 11, so that the oily impurities carried in the airflow are partially attached to the upper surface of the return air duct body 1, and these oily impurities flow into the side oil guide groove 22 for unified recovery and treatment. The extension direction of the side oil guide groove 22 and the inner oil guide groove 21 is consistent with the length direction of the return air duct body 1.
[0034] An oil collecting tank 3 is provided on the side of the return air duct body 1 away from the air outlet 13. The oil collecting tank 3 is used to collect oily impurities discharged from the inner oil guide tank 21 and the side oil guide tank 22. In actual setting, the oil collecting tank 3 can be fixedly installed at the end of the return air duct body 1, or can be movably set at one side of the end of the return air duct, which is not limited here. The inner oil guide tank 21 and the side oil guide tank 22 are inclined toward the oil collecting tank 3, and the inclined setting is conducive to the oily impurities in the oil guide tank 2 flowing to the oil collecting tank 3, so as to facilitate subsequent unified recovery and treatment.
[0035] The implementation principle of the utility model is:
[0036] The oven return air duct structure is installed at the lower part of the oven nozzle. The airflow in the oven enters the return air duct body 1 through the upper return air hole 11. The airflow first passes through the inner oil guide groove 21 located in the return air duct body 1, and then enters the return air duct body 1 through the inner return air holes 211 on both sides of the inner oil guide groove 21. Then the airflow enters the return air cavity in the oven through the return air duct outlet 13. The oily impurities on the membrane substrate enter the oil guide groove 2 with the air flow, and then flow to the outlet of the oil guide groove 2 to be uniformly collected and recycled by the oil collecting tank 3. The external fresh air duct is connected to the fresh air inlet 14 to let in fresh air, and the fresh air enters the return air cavity through the outlet 13 of the return air duct body 1, which reduces the situation where the fresh air causes local temperature unevenness and fluid instability in the oven.
[0037] Based on the above oven return air duct structure, the utility model also provides:
[0038] A lithium battery oven comprises an oven return air duct structure as above.
[0039] The above is a specific description of the preferred implementation of the utility model, but the invention of the utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Technical personnel familiar with the field can also make various equivalent deformations or substitutions without violating the spirit of the utility model. These equivalent deformations or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
