[0033] Embodiment 1:
[0034] This embodiment provides a lower air nozzle structure, including:
[0035] An air nozzle body 1, the air nozzle body 1 includes an air inlet end and an air outlet end, the air outlet end is the end for facing the electrode sheet, an air inlet 11 is provided on the air inlet end, and two air outlets 12 are provided on the air outlet end, and the two air outlets 12 are respectively located upstream and downstream of the electrode sheet running direction;
[0036] A flow guide plate 2, the flow guide plate 2 is installed outside the air nozzle body 1;
[0037] An air equalizing plate 3, the air equalizing plate 3 is installed inside the air nozzle body 1, and its installation position corresponds to the upper part of the air inlet 11;
[0038] Among them, the flow guide plate 2 is located on one side of the air nozzle body 1 downstream along the electrode sheet running direction.
[0039] In this technical solution, the electrode sheet passes through the inside of the oven, and the hot air generated in the oven is blown out through the upper and lower air nozzles to blow the upper and lower film surfaces of the electrode sheet respectively, so as to achieve a drying effect on the electrode sheet. The lower air nozzle is composed of an air nozzle body 1, a flow guide plate 2, and an air equalizing plate 3. The air nozzle body 1, the flow guide plate 2, and the air equalizing plate 3 are all made of stainless steel materials with heat resistance and relatively high structural strength. The upper air nozzle can be designed to have the same structure as the lower air nozzle but without the flow guide plate 2, or can be designed as a conventional air nozzle structure in the prior art, which is not limited in this application.
[0040] As Figure 3 shown, when the lower air nozzle works, the hot air generated by the oven enters the inside of the air nozzle body 1 through the air inlet 11 of the air nozzle body 1, and then is discharged through the two air outlets 12. The hot air discharged from the two air outlets 12 will flow along the arrow direction, blow the pole piece upward from below the pole piece to dry the pole piece, and then the hot air is guided by the flow guide plate 2 to flow downward of the pole piece, reducing the upward wind force exerted on the pole piece by the hot air, thereby preventing the pole piece from shaking when running in the oven.
[0041] The air inlet 11 is located at the bottom of the air nozzle body 1. An air distribution plate 3 is arranged inside the air nozzle body 1, and the air distribution plate 3 is correspondingly installed above the air inlet 11. The hot air entering the air nozzle body 1 from the air inlet 11 needs to pass through the air distribution plate 3 before being discharged from the two air outlets 12. By setting the air distribution plate 3 to adjust the diversion of the hot air in the air nozzle body 1 and then evenly discharging it from the air outlets 12, it can improve the air flow distribution of the hot air to a certain extent and also reduce the noise generated by uneven air flow when the hot air flows through the air nozzle body 1.
[0042] In summary, by setting the flow guide plate 2 on the air nozzle body 1 to play a downward diversion role for the hot air flowing out of the air outlet 12, reducing the acting force of the lower air field on the pole piece, enabling the upper and lower air fields of the pole piece to be consistent, thereby preventing the pole piece from shaking and avoiding the generation of shaking marks leading to lithium deposition.
[0043] Embodiment 2:
[0044] This embodiment provides a lower air nozzle structure, which has the following technical features in addition to including the technical solutions of the above embodiment.
[0045] Furthermore, it further includes:
[0046] A wind guide plate 4, and the wind guide plate 4 is arranged inside the air nozzle body 1;
[0047] Among them, the wind guide plate 4 includes two arc-shaped diversion surfaces 41, and the air nozzle body 1 includes two inclined diversion surfaces 13. An air outlet 12 is formed between the arc-shaped diversion surface 41 and the inclined diversion surface 13.
[0048] In this technical solution, as Figure 2 shown, the wind guide plate 4 is installed inside the air nozzle body 1 and is located at the air outlet end. The two arc-shaped diversion surfaces 41 are arranged on both sides of the wind guide plate 4. There are two inclined diversion surfaces 13 inside the air nozzle body 1. The two arc-shaped diversion surfaces 41 and the two inclined diversion surfaces 13 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and two air outlets 12 are formed between the arc-shaped diversion surface 41 and the inclined diversion surface 13. Through this structural design, it plays a guiding role for the hot air flowing out of the inside of the air nozzle body 1, reducing the upward wind force exerted on the pole piece by the hot air, thereby preventing the pole piece from shaking when running in the oven.
[0049] Example 3:
[0050] This embodiment provides a lower air nozzle structure, which has the following technical features in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments.
[0051] Furthermore, the air distribution plate 3 includes:
[0052] A plate body, which is installed in the air nozzle body 1, and its installation position corresponds to the upper part of the air inlet 11;
[0053] A plurality of air distribution holes 31, which are arranged in a linear array on the plate body.
[0054] Furthermore, the plate body is detachably installed in the air nozzle body 1.
[0055] In this technical solution, the plate body is detachably installed and fixed in the air nozzle body 1 by setting fasteners and is located above the air inlet 11, which facilitates the disassembly, installation and maintenance of the air distribution plate 3. The hot air generated by the oven enters the inside of the air nozzle body 1 through each air distribution hole 31, and the air distribution holes 31 are used to improve the air flow distribution of the hot air, so that the hot air flow is evenly distributed through the air inlet 11.
[0056] Furthermore, the air distribution hole 31 is any one of a round hole, a square hole or an oval hole. There is no limitation on the shape of the air distribution hole 31, as long as the shape and size of each air distribution hole 31 are kept consistent.
[0057] Example 4:
[0058] This embodiment provides a lower air nozzle structure, which has the following technical features in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments.
[0059] Furthermore, the flow guide plate 2 is detachably installed on the air nozzle body 1.
[0060] Furthermore, the flow guide plate 2 is installed on the air nozzle body 1 by setting fasteners.
[0061] In this technical solution, the flow guide plate 2 and the air nozzle body 1 are connected and fixed by setting a plurality of fasteners. While ensuring the stable connection between the flow guide plate 2 and the air nozzle body 1, it is also convenient for the staff to disassemble and maintain the flow guide plate 2, and the practicability is high.
[0062] Example 5:
[0063] This embodiment provides a lower air nozzle structure, which has the following technical features in addition to the technical solutions of the above embodiments.
[0064] Furthermore, a flow guide structure 21 that is bent downward and obliquely is provided at one end of the flow guide plate 2 away from the air nozzle body 1.
[0065] Further, the angle of the downward inclined bend of the flow guiding structure 21 is α, and α is 30° - 60°.
[0066] In this technical solution, through this structural design, the hot air flowing through the flow guiding plate 2 is guided downward, thereby reducing the upward wind force exerted on the pole piece by the hot air and preventing the pole piece from shaking when running in the oven. Further, by setting the angle of the downward inclined bend of the flow guiding structure 21 to be α, where α is 30° - 60°, the best flow guiding effect can be ensured. It is worth mentioning that the flow guiding structure 21 on the flow guiding plate 2 can be formed by bending the flow guiding plate 2, or can be formed by obliquely welding a separate stainless steel plate at the end of the flow guiding plate 2.
[0067] Example 6:
[0068] This embodiment provides a lower air nozzle structure, which has the following technical features in addition to including the technical solution of the above embodiment.
[0069] Further, the number of air inlets 11 is several, and a wind equalizing plate 3 is correspondingly arranged above each air inlet 11.
[0070] In this technical solution, through this structural design, the hot air inflow channels of the air nozzle body 1 can be increased, the air inlet efficiency of the air nozzle body 1 can be improved, and at the same time, it can ensure that the hot air flows into the air nozzle body 1 more evenly, avoid local overheating inside the air nozzle body 1, and effectively prevent the air nozzle body 1 from being damaged.
