[0035] The embodiment of the present application provides a coating die, specifically, the coating die is applied to a lithium battery coating device, and in actual application, the lithium battery coating device is used for coating the pole piece of the lithium battery. The coating die in the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1-6 , Figure 1 A structure schematic diagram of a coating die according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.Figures 3-4 respectively show a structure diagram of a filling block 4 of a coating die according to the embodiments of the present application; refer to Figure 6 show a structure diagram of a gasket 3 and a pole piece in a coating process of a coating die according to the embodiments of the present application.

[0037] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiments of the present application disclose a coating die, which comprises a first die 1, a second die 2 stacked on one side of the first die 1 along a third direction Z, and the first die 1 and the second die 2 form a containing cavity 10, the second die 2 has a containing groove 20 penetrating through the second die 2 along the third direction Z, the containing groove 20 is communicated with the containing cavity 10 and extends along a first direction X, the first die 1 and the second die 2 have a gap between one end of the first die 1 along a second direction Y and one end of the second die 2 along the same direction to form a glue outlet 11, the glue outlet 11 is communicated with a gasket 3 arranged between the first die 1 and the second die 2, the gasket 3 comprises a body 30 and a plurality of protruding parts 31 connected to one side of the body 30 along the second direction Y towards the glue outlet 11, the protruding parts 31 cover part of the containing groove 20 along the third direction Z and extend along the second direction Y to block part of the glue outlet 11, the plurality of protruding parts 31 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, and a glue discharging channel 32 is formed between two adjacent protruding parts 31, the glue discharging channel 32 is communicated with the part of the containing groove 20 not covered and the part of the glue outlet 11 not blocked, and a filling block 4 is arranged in the containing groove 20 and corresponds to at least one protruding part 31 along the third direction Z.

[0038] Specifically, the first direction X is the length direction of the coating die, as shown by the X direction in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the second direction Y is the width direction of the coating die, as shown by the Y direction in Figure 1 , and the third direction Z is the height direction of the coating die, as shown by the Z direction in Figure 1 , and the above three directions are still applicable in subsequent embodiments.

[0039] The coating die comprises the first die 1 and the second die 2, the first die 1 and the second die 2 are stacked along the third direction Z, the first die 1 and the second die 2 form the containing cavity 10, the second die 2 has the containing groove 20 along the first direction X, the containing groove 20 is used for containing the coating slurry, the containing groove 20 is communicated with the containing cavity 10, so that the coating slurry in the containing groove 20 can flow into the containing cavity 10.

[0040] Further, in order to enable the coating slurry to be injected into the accommodating cavity 10 from outside, a feeding channel can be arranged on the second die 2, which is in communication with the accommodating groove 20, and an external pipeline can be connected with the feeding channel, so that the coating slurry can enter the accommodating groove 20. The specific structure and shape of the feeding channel can refer to the prior art, and will not be described here.

[0041] The first die 1 and the second die 2 have a gap in the third direction Z at one end in the second direction Y, which forms a glue outlet 11, which is in communication with the accommodating cavity 10, so that the coating slurry in the accommodating cavity 10 can flow out of the glue outlet 11.

[0042] The gasket 3 is arranged between the first die 1 and the second die 2 and is located in the accommodating cavity 10. The gasket 3 comprises a body 30 and a plurality of protruding portions 31 connected to one side of the body 30 facing the glue outlet 11 and extending in the second direction Y, so that the protruding portions 31 cover part of the accommodating groove 20 and the glue outlet 11. The plurality of protruding portions 31 are arranged at intervals in the first direction X, and two adjacent protruding portions 31 define a glue discharging channel 32, which is in communication with the part of the accommodating groove 20 and the glue outlet 11 not covered by the protruding portions 31, and the coating slurry can flow out of the glue discharging channel 32 to coat the pole piece. By adjusting the distance between the two adjacent protruding portions 31 on the gasket 3 in the first direction X, i.e. changing the size of the glue discharging channel 32 in the first direction X, the coating of pole pieces with different coating widths can be adapted, and the practicability of the coating die is improved. Further, the body 30 and the protruding portions 31 can be integrally formed, so that the gasket 3 is easier to manufacture, and the cost of the coating die is reduced.

[0043] In actual application, in order to coat the pole piece with different width, the distance between two adjacent convex parts 31 needs to be changed, at this time, the accommodating groove 20 and at least one cavity corresponding to the convex part 31 in the third direction Z are redundant cavities, in the coating process, the flow rate of the coating paste in the redundant cavities is slow, and it is easy to form a stagnant zone, which will cause accumulation in the redundant cavities, and with the passage of time, the accumulation will dry and form a blocky paste, and the larger blocky paste can block the glue discharging channel 32, resulting in uneven paste flow, so that the thickness of the coating layer is inconsistent, which affects the uniformity of the coating. Smaller blocky paste flows out of the glue discharging channel 32 during the coating process, and is coated on the surface of the pole piece to form irregular protrusions or spots, which also affect the flatness and uniformity of the pole piece, and reduce the coating quality. In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the filling block 4 in the space corresponding to the at least one convex part 31 of the gasket 3 in the third direction Z in the accommodating groove 20, the redundant cavities in the accommodating groove 20 are eliminated, the flowability of the coating paste in the coating die is improved, the accumulation and drying of the coating paste are reduced, and the uniformity of the paste in the coating process is improved, and the overall coating quality is improved.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the part of the accommodating groove 20 covered by the convex part 31 is the to-be-filled part 21, and the to-be-filled part 21 is located at least at one end of the accommodating groove 20 in the first direction X, and the filling block 4 is arranged in the to-be-filled part 21.

[0045] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the accommodating groove 20 extends in the first direction X in the second die 2, and the shape of the cross section can be semicircular, rectangular, etc. In order to facilitate the description, the cavity covered by the convex part 31 in the accommodating groove 20 is defined as the to-be-filled part 21, and in the to-be-filled part 21, paste accumulation and drying are prone to occur. In actual application, the to-be-filled part 21 is located at least at one end of the accommodating groove 20 in the first direction X, corresponding to the convex part 31 at one end of the main body of the gasket 3 in the first direction X, and the cavity covered by the convex part 31 is the to-be-filled part 21, and the filling block 4 is arranged in the to-be-filled part 21. It can be understood that the shape of the filling block 4 is adapted to the shape of the to-be-filled part 21, so that the filling block 4 can be completely filled in the to-be-filled part 21.

[0046] It should be noted that the shape of the to-be-filled part 21 and the filling block 4 can be specifically set according to actual needs, Figure 1 and Figure 2 in the present application are only examples, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this.

[0047] In the embodiment, by arranging the filling block 4 in the to-be-filled part 21 located at one end of the containing groove 20 along the first direction X, the excess cavities in the containing groove 20 can be more accurately eliminated, so that the accumulation and drying of the slurry in these areas are further reduced, the thickness uniformity of the coating layer is improved, and the coating quality is further improved.

[0048] Further, the to-be-filled part 21 is two and is located at two opposite ends of the containing groove 20 along the first direction X, and the filling block 4 is arranged in each of the two to-be-filled parts 21.

[0049] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 6 , the cavities where the slurry is prone to accumulate in the containing groove 20 are located at both sides of the containing groove 20 along the first direction X, that is, the to-be-filled part 21 is two and is located at both sides of the containing groove 20 along the first direction X. In actual application, when the to-be-filled part 21 is located at both sides, arranging the filling block 4 only at one side may cause uneven distribution of quality at both sides of the coating die, thereby causing imbalance of the coating die. Such imbalance may cause uneven flow of the slurry during coating, inconsistent thickness of the coating layer, and affect the uniformity and stability of coating. In the embodiment, by arranging the filling block 4 in both to-be-filled parts 21, on the one hand, most of the areas in the containing groove 20 where excess cavities are likely to be formed can be eliminated, thereby greatly reducing the risk of accumulation and drying of the slurry inside the entire containing groove 20, further improving the uniformity of the slurry during coating, and improving the overall coating quality. Moreover, arranging the filling block 4 at both sides makes the quality distribution at both sides of the coating die more uniform, avoids the imbalance problem caused by unilateral filling, and thereby can ensure uniform distribution of the slurry flow, make the thickness of the coating layer consistent, and further improve the uniformity and quality of coating.

[0050] In some embodiments, one end of the filling block 4 along the third direction Z abuts against the protruding part 31, and the filling block 4 is detachably arranged in the containing groove 20.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1 , specifically, the top surface of the filling block 4 along the third direction Z abuts against the bottom surface of the protruding part 31 along the third direction Z. In actual application, by abutting the filling block 4 against the protruding part 31, the filling block 4 and the protruding part 31 can be closely matched in the third direction Z, further reducing the excess cavities in the containing groove 20, reducing the accumulation and drying of the slurry, and improving the uniformity and quality of coating.

[0052] The filling block 4 is detachably arranged in the containing groove 20. In actual application, the detachable arrangement of the filling block 4 makes it more convenient and fast to clean or replace the filling block 4 when needed, without the need to disassemble the entire coating die, thereby reducing the disassembly process.

[0053] Optionally, the filling block 4 comprises a magnetic member 40 arranged in the accommodating groove 20 for magnetically attracting the filling block 4 in the accommodating groove 20.

[0054] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the second die 2 can be made of metal material, and the filling block 4 comprises a magnetic member 40 which can be arranged on the outside or inside of the filling block 4. The filling block 4 can be magnetically attracted in the accommodating groove 20 through the magnetic member 40. In this way, the magnetic member 40 can make the filling block 4 quickly adhere to the accommodating groove 20 without the need for complex fixing devices, thereby improving the installation efficiency. The magnetic attraction generated by the magnetic member 40 can make the filling block 4 stably and firmly adhere to the accommodating groove 20, preventing the filling block 4 from sliding along the first direction X during work to affect the size of the coating, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the filling block 4. Moreover, when the filling block 4 needs to be replaced, the use of the magnetic member 40 makes the replacement process simpler and faster, reduces downtime, and improves production efficiency.

[0055] Optionally, the filling block 4 further comprises a cladding member 41 which is cladded on the outside of the magnetic member 40 and abuts against the protruding portion 31.

[0056] As shown in Figures 3-4 , the filling block 4 comprises a magnetic member 40 and a cladding member 41, wherein the magnetic member 40 can be a permanent magnet of any shape, and the cladding member 41 is completely cladded on the outside of the magnetic member 40. In actual application, during the coating process, friction may occur between the filling block 4 and the accommodating groove 20. When the magnetic member 40 directly contacts the accommodating groove 20, such friction will cause the magnetic member 40 to generate metal foreign matter, which not only affects the coating quality, but also may cause equipment failure and safety accidents after entering the coating device. By arranging the cladding member 41 on the outside of the magnetic member 40, the magnetic member 40 can be isolated from the accommodating groove 20, reducing the generation of metal foreign matter and avoiding the entry of these metal foreign matter into the slurry, thereby affecting the coating quality and equipment operation. Moreover, the cladding member 41 can also reduce the friction between the filling block 4 and the accommodating groove 20, thereby prolonging the service life of the second die 2.

[0057] Optionally, the cladding member 41 is a silica gel cladding member 41. In actual application, since silica gel material has good flexibility and elasticity, it can better use the shape change of the accommodating groove 20, so that the filling block 4 can be tightly filled in the accommodating groove 20, thereby further reducing the excess space in the accommodating groove 20 and improving the uniformity of the coating. Moreover, the high flexibility and elasticity of silica gel can make the cladding member 41 tightly fit on the outside of the magnetic member 40, ensuring that the magnetic member 40 is always wrapped during long-term use, thereby further reducing the generation of metal foreign matter.

[0058] In another alternative embodiment, the filling block 4 is clamped in the accommodating groove 20.

[0059] Specifically, one of the buckle or the clamping groove can be arranged on one side or multiple sides of the filling block 4, and the other one of the buckle or the clamping groove is arranged at the corresponding position of the accommodating groove 20, and the buckle is clamped in the clamping groove, so that the filling block 4 is clamped in the accommodating groove 20. In actual application, by clamping the filling block 4 in the accommodating groove 20, the filling block 4 can be quickly and conveniently installed in the accommodating groove 20 without using screws or other fixing tools, which improves the installation efficiency and makes the filling block 4 more firmly arranged in the accommodating groove 20, avoiding the influence of the sliding of the filling block 4 along the first direction X on the size of the coating during the work process, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the filling block 4.

[0060] Optionally, the length of the protruding part 31 along the first direction X is a, and the length of the filling block 4 along the first direction X is b, and the a and the b satisfy: b≤a.

[0061] As shown in Figure 6 , the structural relationship between the coating die and the pole piece in the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 6 , the white part in the upper half part in Figure 6 corresponds to the glue discharging channel 32, and the coating slurry in the accommodating groove 20 flows out from the glue discharging channel 32 between the two adjacent protruding parts 31 and is coated on the white area to form the pole piece. The protruding part 31 refers to the protruding part 31 corresponding to the filling block 4 arranged along the third direction Z among the plurality of protruding parts 31, and the length a of the protruding part 31 along the first direction X refers to the straight-line distance between the two side edges of the protruding part 31 along the first direction X. The length b of the filling block 4 along the first direction X refers to the straight-line distance between the two sides of the filling block 4 along the first direction X. In actual application, when the length b of the filling block 4 along the first direction X is greater than the length b of the protruding part 31 along the first direction X, the filling block 4 will exist in the area of the accommodating groove 20 for forming the tab, which will affect the size of the tab. By making: b≤a, appropriately reducing the length a of the filling block 4 along the first direction X so that it does not exceed the length b of the protruding part 31, it is ensured that the filling block 4 will not affect the size of the tab.

[0062] In summary, the coating die according to the embodiment of the present application can at least have the following advantages:

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the filling block 4 in the space corresponding to the third direction Z of the at least one protruding part 31 of the gasket 3 in the accommodating groove 20, the excess cavity in the accommodating groove 20 is eliminated, the flowability of the coating slurry in the coating die is improved, the accumulation and drying of the coating slurry are reduced, and the uniformity of the slurry in the coating process is improved, and the overall coating quality is improved.
