[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloys as positive / negative electrode materials and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. The main purpose of drying in lithium-ion battery production is to remove moisture from the materials, thereby improving battery performance and lifespan. Dried lithium-ion battery materials can better exert their electrochemical performance, thus improving the overall performance of the battery and extending its lifespan. The moisture removed during the drying process can reduce internal corrosion and the risk of short circuits, thereby improving the battery's safety and reliability.

A hydraulic cylinder 3 is located at the top of the drying chamber 1, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is connected to the top of the air supply box 2 via a hydraulic rod. An air outlet 21 is located at the bottom of the air supply box 2. An air supply mechanism is located inside the air supply box 2. The bottom of the air inlet mechanism 4 is connected to the middle of the top of the air supply box 2. The top of the air inlet mechanism 4 is connected to one end of a telescopic pipe 5 via a connecting pipe 6. The other end of the telescopic pipe 5 is connected to the output end of a circulating fan 7 on one side of the drying chamber 1 via a connecting pipe 6. The lower end is provided with an air outlet 8. The input end of the circulating fan 7 is connected to the air outlet 8 through a connecting pipe 6 to realize the drying circulation air supply inside the drying chamber 1. The filter screen 45, dehumidification plate 44 and electric heating wire 46 inside the air inlet box 41 have the functions of filtration, dehumidification and heating, so that the lithium battery is dried faster in the drying chamber 1. The diverter plate 22, the first air guide plate 23 and the second air guide plate 24 inside the air supply box 2 realize the air supply and guide, increase the uniformity of the air supply inside the drying chamber 1, and the air supply space is large and gentle, so the drying inside the drying chamber 1 is uniform. The hydraulic cylinder 3 set on the drying chamber 1 realizes the height adjustment of the air supply box 2 inside the drying chamber 1 under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 3, so as to meet the effective air supply and drying of lithium batteries of different heights inside the drying chamber 1.

[0023] Specifically, the air intake mechanism 4 includes an air intake box 41, a top cover 42, an air inlet 43, a dehumidifying plate 44, a filter screen 45, and an electric heating wire 46. The top of the air intake box 41 is provided with a top cover 42, and the top of the top cover 42 is connected to the telescopic pipe 5 through a connecting pipe 6. The bottom of the air intake box 41 is provided with an air inlet 43, which is connected to the air supply box 2. The upper part of the air intake box 41 is provided with a filter screen 45. The air intake box 41 below the filter screen 45 is provided with a dehumidifying plate 44, and the air intake box 41 below the dehumidifying plate 44 is provided with an electric heating wire 46. Air passes through the filter screen 45, the dehumidifying plate 44, and the electric heating wire 46 in sequence inside the air intake box 41.

[0028] Furthermore, there are two hydraulic cylinders 3, which are located on the top of the drying box 1 on opposite sides of the air inlet mechanism 4, making the lifting and lowering of the air supply box 2 more balanced and stable.

[0029] The method of use in this embodiment is as follows: The lithium battery to be dried is placed inside the drying chamber 1.
