DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby stated that the directional words such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, etc. that appear or will appear in the text of the utility model are only based on the accompanying drawings of the utility model, and are not specific limitations of the utility model.
[0021] Example 1: A drying device for coating a battery separator, such as Figure 1-4As shown, it includes an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2, a partition 1 3, a partition 2 4, a heating device 5, a heat flow pipe 6, an infrared device 7, a conveying roller 8, a feed roller group 9 and a winder 10. The inner shell 2 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1, the partition 1 3 is fixedly welded on the right part of the inner shell 2, and the partition 2 4 is fixedly welded on the left part of the inner shell 2. The partition 1 3 and the partition 2 4 are both provided with openings through which the diaphragm can pass. The partition 1 3 and the partition 2 4 separate a drying area in the inner shell 2, and the coating applied on the diaphragm is dried and cured in this area. A heating device 5 is installed on the upper part of the inner shell 2, and the heat flow pipes 6 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear of the heating device 5. The heat flow pipes 6 are connected to the heating device 5, and the heat flow pipes 6 are all penetrated into the inner shell 2 to continuously send the hot air produced in the heating device into the drying area. The front and rear sides of the inner shell 2 are Two infrared devices 7 are provided, and the infrared devices 7 are installed in the drying area between the partition 1 3 and the partition 2 4 on the inner shell 2. The infrared device 7 generates heatable infrared radiation, which cooperates with the hot air generated by the heating device 5 to provide drying heat energy in a more energy-saving manner. Four conveying rollers 8 are rotatably connected in the inner shell 2 to change the conveying direction of the diaphragm in the equipment. A feed roller group 9 is provided on the upper left side of the inner shell 2. The feed roller group 9 consists of a support frame and two rotating rollers. The diaphragm conveyed from the outside will pass through the middle of the two rotating rollers. The rotating rollers are rotatably connected to the support frame. A winder 10 is fixedly installed on the lower left part of the outer shell 1. The winder 10 consists of a motor and a film rolling roller. The rotation of the motor drives the film rolling roller to rotate, so as to roll up the dried diaphragm and at the same time pull the coated diaphragm to be transmitted to the left in the equipment.
[0022] Before the drying process is started, the heating device 5 and the infrared device 7 are turned on. The heat flow pipe 6 in the inner shell 2 transports the hot air from the heating device 5 to the drying area between the partition 1 3 and the partition 2 4. The infrared device 7 emits infrared radiation, and the temperature in the area is the same as the required drying temperature. Figure 4The introduction direction of the diaphragm shown above is arranged on the equipment as follows: one end of the diaphragm is pulled between the two rotating rollers, pulled into the inner shell 2, and then continues to pass through the opening on the partition 1 3 to the left, and passes through the two conveying rollers 8 in the drying area, and then pulled out from the opening on the partition 2 4. As shown in the figure, the diaphragm is arranged along the two conveying rollers 8 on the left side of the partition 2 4, and finally one end of the diaphragm is wound around the film roller of the winder 10 and fixed to complete the film guiding work before drying. When the arranged diaphragm is transported, the tension force of the diaphragm is consistent in all parts and areas of the equipment. When the drying work is in progress, the motor on the winder 10 is started to rotate, and the motor rotates slowly and evenly, driving the film roller to rotate, and one end of the diaphragm fixed on the film roller begins to be wound, pulling the coated diaphragm that has been inserted into the equipment to the left. The diaphragm is transported and enters the drying area. Under the action of high temperature in the drying area, the solvent in the inorganic ceramic materials such as alumina coated on the diaphragm and the high-temperature resistant polymer material coating such as aramid coated on the diaphragm evaporates, and the coating is solidified into a film. The diaphragm with the dried coating layer is continuously transported and wound under the cooperation of the winder 10 and the conveying rollers 8 in each area of the equipment. By arranging a hot air heating device 5 in the drying area to transfer heat energy through the laminar movement of the hot air, the air in the drying area is continuously heated and circulated, and the temperature in each area is uniform and stable. At the same time, the infrared device 7 is cooperated with the hot air transmitted by the heating device 5 as a heat carrier for heating. The characteristics of strong infrared radiation penetration and high thermal efficiency are utilized to save energy consumption while effectively overcoming the temperature difference and shielding effect, so as to avoid uneven heating of the diaphragm during drying and affect the coating quality.
[0023] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a cooling device 13 and a metal guide plate 14 are also included. A metal guide plate 14 with good thermal conductivity is fixedly connected to the left part of the inner shell 2. The cooling device 13 is installed on the metal guide plate 14. The metal guide plate 14 is equipped with a pipe connected to the cooling device 13. When working, the metal guide plate 14 is continuously cooled.
[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a fixed rod 11 and a rotating frame 12. The fixed rod 11 is symmetrically connected to the front and back of the left upper part of the inner shell 2. A rotating frame 12 with an adjustable angle is rotatably provided between the fixed rods 11. The rotating frame 12 is composed of a mounting frame and a film pressing roller. When in use, the film pressing roller contacts the film surface. The squeezing force of the film pressing roller on the diaphragm can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the rotating frame 12.
[0025] When the diaphragm is fed from the feed roller group 9, the rotating frame 12 can be rotated to make the film pressing roller contact with the film surface, and the squeezing force of the film pressing roller on the diaphragm can be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the rotating frame 12. When the film is fed through the rotating frame 12, the tension of the film surface during the diaphragm transportation is adjusted to avoid deformation of the diaphragm due to force when the diaphragm is too tight or too loose during transportation. When the winder 10 is winding, a metal guide plate 14 and a cooling device 13 are arranged between the conveying roller 8 on the far left and the winder 10. A pipe connected to the cooling device 13 is arranged in the metal guide plate 14, and the cooling device 13 is connected to the metal guide plate through the pipe. 14 performs continuous cooling work, and the upper side of the metal guide plate 14 will contact the bottom of the continuously transmitted diaphragm. When in contact, the metal guide plate 14 with a lower temperature can cool the diaphragm with a higher residual temperature after drying. The cooling device 13 can perform continuous cyclic cooling on the metal guide plate 14 to maintain the temperature of the metal guide plate 14. The diaphragm is cooled by the cooling device 13 to avoid the diaphragm absorbing cold and humid air in the air to cool down after the high-temperature diaphragm leaves the equipment, causing the diaphragm to absorb water vapor and become damp, which affects the coating quality and affects the subsequent testing, analysis, storage and other working conditions.
