Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a key material of lithium-ion batteries, the wetting performance of the diaphragm directly affects the production speed of lithium-ion batteries, the internal resistance of the battery cells, and the rate and cycle performance of the batteries. Among them, the wicking height of the electrolyte in the diaphragm is an important indicator to characterize the wetting performance, which directly reflects the penetration degree of the electrolyte on the surface of the diaphragm. The existing measuring devices for the wicking height of the diaphragm mainly place the diaphragm sample in a specific test cavity, and then inject liquid into the test cavity through a syringe, and observe the penetration of the liquid on the diaphragm, so as to calculate the wicking height of the diaphragm. Although this test method can obtain certain test results, there are some deficiencies: First, it is difficult for the test device to ensure the flatness during the wetting process of the diaphragm. During the test, the diaphragm often curls due to static electricity, making it difficult to measure its actual wetting height; Second, it is easily affected by wall contact during the test. When the diaphragm contacts the container wall, the liquid absorption process will climb along the wall; Then, it is difficult to ensure that the diaphragms are wetted with the electrolyte synchronously, simultaneously, and at the same position during the comparison of multiple samples in the same batch, making it difficult to ensure the accuracy of the results; Finally, the test device has a complex structure and a high manufacturing cost, which is not conducive to popularization and application.

During use, only need to pass the diaphragm to be measured through the buckle plate, manually adjust it to be flat, and then fix both ends to the surfaces of the two support plates with tape. The diaphragm is always in a certain tension state, achieving the purpose of simple operation. Moreover, the device of the present utility model has a simple structure, which not only reduces the production cost, but also is convenient for popularization and promotion.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the heights of the two support plates are the same. More preferably, the structures and sizes of the two support plates are the same. Of course, the structures of the support plates may not be the same, and the sizes may not be the same, not limited to the embodiments in the figure.

[0024] In some embodiments, there are multiple liquid inlet holes, which can facilitate the entry of electrolyte at multiple positions, ensure better liquid inlet effect and more uniform liquid inlet. In a preferred embodiment, the number of liquid inlet holes on both sides of the buckle plate is the same, such as four, one on each side. Of course, they may not be the same. The shape of the liquid inlet hole is a circular hole, a square hole or other geometric shapes.

[0025] More preferably, the liquid inlet holes on both sides of the buckle plate are symmetrically arranged with the buckle plate as the axis. Of course, they may also be asymmetrically or non-symmetrically distributed. The size of the liquid inlet hole is set according to the situation, such as 2 cm.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the buckle plate is detachably connected to the bottom plate by snap connection. For example, there are buckle holes on the bottom plate, and the snap connection parts at both ends of the bottom surface of the buckle plate can be snapped into the buckle holes for fixation, and a space or gap for the diaphragm to be measured to pass through is formed between the bottom surface of the buckle and the bottom plate. The height of the gap is about 10 mm, and it can be made of plastic and is in a plate-like structure.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present application, the size of the diaphragm to be measured is 60 cm x (2 - 4) cm, and the corresponding width of the bottom plate is 10 cm and the length is 36 cm. In a preferred embodiment, its size is 11 cm x 10 cm and the thickness is 0.5 cm. The size of the diaphragm support unit can be set according to the size of the diaphragm to be measured. In the embodiments of the present application, through the structure of the snap plate and the support plate, the diaphragm to be measured can always be maintained at the same horizontal height.

[0028] In some embodiments, the length of the snap plate is the same as the width of the bottom plate. The support plate can be made of a plastic plate, and the bottom plate is a plastic plate. The device of the present utility model uses plastic plates of low-cost materials, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost and is conducive to popularization and dissemination.

[0029] In some embodiments, for measurement, in the embodiments of the present application, the diaphragm wicking height measuring device further includes a box body 6, which can be a low-cost plastic box and is used to place the diaphragm support unit for measuring the diaphragm wicking height. The box body 6 has an open upper end structure and is filled with electrolyte 7 inside.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the box body is a rectangular box. Of course, it can also be of other shapes, and is not limited thereto.

The diaphragm to be measured is always in a certain tension state and is fixed on the diaphragm support unit. Finally, immerse the diaphragm support unit flat into the box body with electrolyte, look at the scale of the electrolyte liquid level horizontally and record. After the wicking on the diaphragm surface terminates, take out the measuring device, look at the scale at the end of the wicking horizontally and record. As Figure 3 shown, the distance H from the top of the wicking to the electrolyte liquid level is 60 MM. Then calculate the wicking height through the following formula:

[0032] L = H / sin 30° = 60 * 2 = 120 MM, and 30° is the angle between the diaphragm and the electrolyte liquid level.
