Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrolytic copper foil production technology, specifically to an electrolytic copper foil drying device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the electrolytic copper foil process, copper sulfate electrolyte is supplied between the anode plate and the cathode roller, and a voltage is applied between the anode plate and the cathode roller to electrolyze the copper sulfate electrolyte to form electrolytic copper foil on the surface of the cathode roller. After the electrolytic copper foil is peeled off from the cathode roller, it enters the subsequent dewatering process. During the winding process, it undergoes two dewatering processes to remove the residual copper sulfate electrolyte on the electrolytic copper foil.

[0003] During production, it was found that due to the weight and stress of the extrusion roller, and the fact that both the cathode roller and the extrusion roller are made of hard materials, some areas of the copper foil could not be squeezed dry, especially at the edges.

[0004] For example, in the electrolytic copper foil drying device disclosed in CN219347182U, the air nozzles are installed at both ends of one side of the air duct, and the other side of the air duct is connected to the blower through the air supply pipe. The air nozzles are either supported flexible hoses or universal heads with adjustable air blowing direction. The air nozzles face the oxidized edge of the copper foil, and the air nozzles have a "straight" opening.

[0005] The aforementioned electrolytic copper foil drying device is not very effective at removing residual copper sulfate electrolyte through its water-squeezing device. In actual production, if the copper foil is not completely dried, it will cause internal quality problems such as folding, oxidation, and acid fogging, resulting in abnormal quality, seriously affecting the quality of the copper foil and causing a large amount of scrap.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figures 1-2 The present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0021] An electrolytic copper foil drying device includes a cathode roller 1 and a main air pipe 5. The main air pipe 5 is located on the side of the cathode roller 1. Multiple adjustable nozzles 10 are installed at equal intervals on the main air pipe 5. The ends of the adjustable nozzles 10 are connected to a blower 11 through a blower hose. The adjustable nozzles 10 have both angle and air pressure adjustment functions. The adjustable nozzles 10 face the electrolytic copper foil body 3. The tilt angle of the adjustable nozzles 10 is 45°. The air volume is the largest at both ends of the adjustable nozzles 10 and the smallest at the middle position of the adjustable nozzles 10.

[0022] After the electrolytic copper foil body 3 is extruded, the watermarks on the edges are particularly obvious, while the middle is slightly better. The air nozzle in the middle can be adjusted to the minimum air volume, while the air nozzles at both ends can be adjusted to the maximum air volume to reduce the watermarks on the copper foil surface. This can significantly reduce the watermarks on the foil surface. Moreover, the installation and modification of this device are simple and convenient, and will not affect the normal operation of the equipment. The investment cost is low, the return is high, the structure is simple, the installation cost is cheap, and the use effect is significant. It can reduce quality problems such as folding, oxidation, and acid mist points caused by incomplete drying of the electrolytic copper foil body 3, and reduce quality abnormalities and scrap.

[0023] Electrolytic copper foil body 3 is deposited and reduced on the cathode roller 1. An acid spray pipe 9 is provided on the front side of the cathode roller 1 in the transmission direction. An acid squeezing roller 8 is provided on the rear side of the acid spray pipe 9. A water spray pipe 7 is provided on the rear side of the acid squeezing roller 8. A water squeezing roller 6 is provided on the rear side of the water spray pipe 7. A stripping roller 2 is provided on the rear side of the water squeezing roller 6. A main air blowing pipe 5 is provided between the water squeezing roller 6 and the stripping roller 2. The electrolytic copper foil body 3 is stripped at the stripping roller 2. A transition roller 4 supporting the electrolytic copper foil body 3 is provided on the rear side of the stripping roller 2. A winding roller is provided on the rear side of the transition roller 4. The cathode roller 1 rotates counterclockwise.

[0024] As the cathode roller 1 rotates, the electrolytic copper foil body 3 is reduced and deposited on the surface of the cathode roller 1. After being acid-washed by the acid spray pipe 9, the electrolytic copper foil body 3 is squeezed dry by the acid squeezing roller 8. After being washed by the water spray pipe 7, it is squeezed dry by the water squeezing roller 6. Then, it passes through the main air blowing pipe 5 and is peeled off from the cathode roller 1 by the action of the peeling roller 2. It is then carried to the winding shaft by the transition roller 4.

[0025] The end of the main air duct 5 that is away from the blower 11 is sealed.
