Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper foil manufacturing, and in particular to a novel internal conductive device for a cathode roller. Background Technology

[0002] Cathode rollers are a typical example of high-tech electrolytic copper chemical equipment and are core equipment for new energy lithium battery copper foil. In particular, the high conductivity and uniformity of cathode rollers are an important indicator of a company's design and technological capabilities and process level.

[0003] In existing technologies, the cathode roller uses a web for conductivity, which results in uneven conductivity distribution and significant differences in copper foil thickness. This leads to substandard copper foil quality, causing problems during winding and peeling. Consequently, product quality deteriorates, costs increase, and efficiency decreases. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as large differences in copper foil thickness, by proposing a novel internal conductive device for cathode rollers.

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel internal conductive device for a cathode roller includes a cathode roller core with a conductive assembly. The conductive assembly includes three plates, with multiple copper rods fixedly mounted on both sides of each plate. Each copper rod is L-shaped and has a contact point fixedly mounted at its end. A steel cylinder is fixedly mounted on the outer side of each plate, and the contacts are fixedly connected to the inner side of the steel cylinder. A titanium cylinder is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the steel cylinder, with end caps at both ends. Multiple rivets are inserted into the end caps, and a pair of end caps are fixed to the ends of the titanium cylinder by the rivets. Multiple reinforcing ribs are fixedly mounted on one side of each end cap, with one end of each reinforcing rib tightly attached to the inner wall of the steel cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, a pair of conductive rings are fixedly provided on the cathode roller core.

[0008] Preferably, a pair of titanium sleeves are fixedly provided on the cathode roller core.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0010] 1. In this utility model, the conductive ring is energized, and the current flows through the web plate. Part of the current flows directly from the web plate through the steel cylinder, and the other part of the current flows through the copper rod and then through the contacts on the copper rod through the steel cylinder. Since the contacts are evenly distributed on the inner side of the steel cylinder, the current is evenly distributed. The uniformity of conductivity inside the cathode roller makes the difference in copper foil thickness extremely small, thereby improving the yield and quality of electrolytic copper foil.

[0011] 2. In this utility model, the cathode roller is equipped with multiple copper rods and multiple reinforcing ribs, which have a compact structure and good support. It can meet the quality and size requirements of copper foil for different types of lithium batteries. The end cap is connected to the titanium cylinder by rivets. The roller body has an open structure on the side, which makes maintenance and replacement simpler. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example 1: This example provides a novel internal conductive device for a cathode roller. See [link to example]. Figure 1-4 Specifically, it includes a cathode roller core 1, a conductive component on the cathode roller core 1, the conductive component includes three web plates 2, multiple copper rods 3 are fixed on both sides of the web plates 2, the copper rods 3 are all L-shaped, the ends of the copper rods 3 are all fixed with contact points 4, a steel cylinder 5 is fixed on the outside of the web plates 2, the contact points 4 are all fixedly connected to the inside of the steel cylinder 5, and a titanium cylinder 6 is fixed on the outside of the steel cylinder 5.

[0020] A pair of conductive rings 10 are fixedly provided on the cathode roller core 1, and a pair of titanium sleeves 11 are fixedly provided on the cathode roller core 1;

[0021] When the conductive ring 10 is energized, the current flows through the web plate 2. Part of the current flows directly from the web plate 2 through the steel cylinder 5, and the other part flows through the copper rod 3, and then from the contact point 4 on the copper rod 3 through the steel cylinder 5. Since the contact point 4 is evenly distributed on the inner side of the steel cylinder 5, the current is evenly distributed. The uniformity of conductivity inside the cathode roller makes the difference in copper foil thickness extremely small, thereby improving the yield and quality of electrolytic copper foil.

[0022] Example 2: Based on Example 1, this example also includes:

[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the titanium cylinder 6 are provided with end caps 7, and multiple rivets 8 are inserted on the end caps 7. A pair of end caps 7 are fixed to the end of the titanium cylinder 6 by the rivets 8. Multiple reinforcing ribs 9 are fixed on one side of the end caps 7, and one end of the reinforcing ribs 9 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the steel cylinder 5.

[0024] The cathode roller has multiple copper rods 3 and multiple reinforcing ribs 9 inside, with a compact structure and good support, which can meet the quality and size requirements of copper foil for different types of lithium batteries. The end cap 7 is connected to the titanium cylinder 6 by rivets 8. The open structure on the side of the roller body makes maintenance and replacement simpler.

[0025] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] When the conductive ring 10 is energized, the current flows through the web plate 2. Part of the current flows directly from the web plate 2 through the steel cylinder 5, and the other part flows through the copper rod 3, and then from the contact point 4 on the copper rod 3 through the steel cylinder 5. Since the contact point 4 is evenly distributed on the inner side of the steel cylinder 5, the current is evenly distributed. The uniformity of conductivity inside the cathode roller makes the difference in copper foil thickness extremely small, thereby improving the yield and quality of electrolytic copper foil.

[0027] The cathode roller has multiple copper rods 3 and multiple reinforcing ribs 9 inside, with a compact structure and good support, which can meet the quality and size requirements of copper foil for different types of lithium batteries. The end cap 7 is connected to the titanium cylinder 6 by rivets 8. The open structure on the side of the roller body makes maintenance and replacement simpler.
