Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to electrolytic copper foil technical field, especially in production of electrolytic copper foil protection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Electrolytic copper foil is through electrochemistry's method, make the copper ion in electrolyte under the action of outside direct current, deposit on the cathode roll surface reduction into the electronic functional material with certain performance.

[0003] The quality of the roll surface of the cathode roll is crucial to the quality of the copper foil, and after the copper foil on the surface of the cathode roll is stripped, a large area of the cathode roll is exposed to the air. Without a protective device, the exposed part of the cathode roll is prone to falling dust on its surface or even being collided by foreign objects. Moreover, the exposed cathode roll is easily oxidized by air, and thus the copper foil produced in this way contains many appearance defects such as pinholes, penetration points, scratches and oxidation marks.

[0004] At the same time, a large amount of acid mist containing sulfuric acid and copper sulfate is formed during the production of the green foil, and if it is not absorbed and treated in time and effectively, the acid mist will be dispersed into the air of the production workshop, which will have adverse effects on the copper foil products, production equipment, personnel health and the surrounding environment. Most copper foil production plants use air induction systems to extract the acid mist, but the acid mist contains copper sulfate components, and the acid mist will form copper sulfate crystals in the air extraction pipeline. After a long time of operation, the crystals in the air extraction pipeline will become thicker and thicker, until the pipeline is blocked, which seriously affects the effect of acid mist extraction.

[0005] A protective cover device for preventing cathode roller pollution of an electrolytic copper foil production machine was disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN219490189U. A protective cover is installed on the top of the cathode roller of the electrolytic cell. By filling electrolyte into the inside of the spray pipe, the electrolyte is sprayed out through the spray holes on the spray pipe, thereby spraying the surface of the cathode roller that has not entered the inside of the electrolytic cell. However, the spray holes are arranged below the spray pipe, and the electrolyte will spread around the spray holes and between adjacent holes. After drying, crystals are formed. The crystals continue to form and accumulate into large blocks. When a certain weight is reached, they will fall off under the action of gravity, falling onto the surface of the cathode roller or even sliding into the electrolytic cell, causing damage to the surface of the cathode roller and seriously affecting the quality of the copper foil product. At the same time, the gas extraction mechanism, such as the through slot, gas extraction cover, and gas extraction pipe, is arranged above the cathode roller. Acid mist will condense on the inner surface of the gas extraction mechanism to form crystals. When the crystals accumulate to a certain amount, they will fall off due to gravity, falling onto the surface of the cathode roller or even sliding into the electrolytic cell, causing damage to the cathode roller and seriously affecting the quality of the copper foil product.
