Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultra-thin lithium-ion electrolytic copper foil production technology, and in particular to a polishing brush that solves the problem of edge tearing in the production of ultra-thin lithium-ion electrolytic copper foil. Background Technology

[0002] Ultra-thin lithium-ion battery electrolytic copper foil generally refers to electrolytic copper foil with a diameter of less than 6μm. During the production of ultra-thin lithium-ion battery electrolytic copper foil, the edges are extremely prone to tearing when peeled from the cathode roller due to its thinness, leading to production interruptions and even serious accidents. This is one of the main challenges in producing ultra-thin lithium-ion battery copper foil. However, lithium battery manufacturers are continuously reducing the thickness of the copper foil to improve battery energy density. Therefore, solving the edge tearing problem is a crucial challenge that must be overcome in the production of electrolytic copper foil.

[0003] In the production process of ultra-thin lithium-ion battery electrolytic copper foil, to solve the problem of edge tearing, such as... Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the traditional method involves cutting a stepped edge on the polishing brush. During the polishing oscillation and rotation, the brush is prevented from striking the right angle of the cathode roller. This ensures the right angle of the cathode roller is not damaged by the high-speed rotation and oscillation of the polishing brush, and prevents the right angle from becoming rounded, thus avoiding large and uneven peeling of the copper foil edges and causing tearing problems. However, as electrolytic copper foil becomes thinner, this method has a problem in actual production: with the increase in the service life of the cathode roller, insufficient pressure and frequency of brushing at the edges lead to severe oxidation. Severe oxidation of the titanium at the cathode roller edges forms titanium oxide, which makes the copper foil brittle, even turning it into powder, and also causing tearing and breakage.
