Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste gas heat circulation technology, specifically to a waste heat gas circulation heat recovery device for lithium battery factories. Background Technology
[0002] In the lithium-ion battery production process, the high-temperature waste heat gas emitted from the process equipment at 120-180℃ contains considerable thermal energy resources. Especially in critical processes such as electrode coating and drying, the direct emission of large amounts of waste heat gas not only wastes energy but also creates a significant energy mismatch with the constant-temperature heating requirements of the cleaning section. While existing heat recovery technologies attempt to utilize waste heat gas to preheat the cleaning fluid, a mismatch in thermodynamic properties remains. The temperature fluctuation range of the cleaning fluid (typically a 60-80℃ organic solvent system) needs to be controlled within ±1.5℃; excessive temperature fluctuations will affect lithium battery performance. However, the waste heat gas is affected by fluctuations in the production process, exhibiting periodic temperature fluctuations of 20-40℃. Direct heat exchange can easily lead to overshooting in the cleaning fluid, affecting the efficiency of removing residues from the electrode surface and the uniformity of separator wetting.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0025] Please refer to the following: A waste heat gas circulation and heat recovery device for lithium battery factories. Figure 1-3 It includes a circulation pipe 1, a preheating device 2, and a temperature regulating device 3. The circulation pipe 1 forms the main circulation channel of the cleaning fluid. The preheating device 2 uses waste heat to preheat the cleaning fluid to a certain temperature. The temperature regulating device 3 regulates the temperature of the cleaning fluid in the preheated circulation pipe 1. The length of the temperature regulating device 3 is at least twice that of the preheating device 2, effectively controlling the preheating time and the temperature regulating time.
[0026] The preheating device 2 is a closed cylindrical structure. Inside the preheating device 2, there is a primary heat source cavity 21, and primary heat source air inlet channel 22 and primary heat source exhaust channel 23 connected to the primary heat source cavity 21 are respectively provided on both sides. The primary heat source air inlet channel 22 and primary heat source exhaust channel 23 are respectively connected to pipes to control the flow of high temperature waste heat gas into and out of the primary heat source cavity 21.
[0027] The temperature control device 3 includes a secondary heat source cavity 31 and a temperature control cavity 32 that is airtightly enclosed outside the secondary heat source cavity 31. The temperature control cavity 32 is connected to ambient temperature air or an external cold source. Specifically, the temperature control device 3 includes an outer wall 3a and an inner wall 3b fixed inside the outer wall. The secondary heat source cavity 31 is formed within the inner wall 3b, and the temperature control cavity 32 is formed between the outer wall 3a and the inner wall 3b. The volume of the temperature control cavity 32 is at least three times the volume of the secondary heat source cavity 31, ensuring that the temperature control cavity 32 can quickly regulate the temperature inside the secondary heat source cavity 31. An external cold air pipe 33, an external air pipe 34, and a temperature control exhaust pipe 35 are provided on the outer wall 3a, which are connected to the temperature control cavity 32. A secondary heat source inlet pipe 36 and a secondary heat source exhaust pipe 37 are provided on the outer wall 3a, which pass through the temperature control cavity 32 and are connected to the secondary heat source cavity 31.
[0028] The circulation pipe 1 passes sequentially through the primary heat source chamber 21 and the secondary heat source chamber 31. Several circulation pipes 1 are arranged densely and at equal intervals. In the primary heat source chamber 21, the cleaning fluid in the circulation pipe 1 is heated to a certain temperature by high-temperature waste heat gas. In the temperature control device 3, the temperature control chamber 32 controls the connection or closure with the ambient temperature air pipe or external cold source, thereby raising or lowering the temperature of the gas in the secondary heat source chamber 31, thus controlling the secondary heat source chamber 31 to remain constant within a certain temperature threshold range. The circulation pipe 1 passes through the secondary heat source chamber 31, thus keeping the cleaning fluid in the circulation pipe 1 constant at the operating temperature.
[0029] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor 4 is fixed on the inner wall 3b. The computer receives the signal transmitted by the temperature sensor 4 and controls the opening of the solenoid valves connected to the external cold air pipe 33, the external air pipe 34, and the temperature-regulating exhaust pipe 35, thereby controlling the internal temperature of the temperature-regulating chamber 32. Specifically, if the temperature inside the secondary heat source chamber 31 is too high, the external air pipe 34 is opened to introduce pressurized air into the temperature-regulating chamber; if the cooling rate is too slow, the valve of the external cold air pipe 33 is opened to quickly reduce the temperature inside the temperature-regulating chamber 32, thereby cooling the secondary heat source chamber 31; if the temperature inside the secondary heat source chamber 31 is too low, the valves connected to the external cold air pipe 33, the external air pipe 34, and the temperature-regulating exhaust pipe 35 are closed or their openings are reduced, and the valve opening of the secondary heat source inlet pipe 36 is increased to raise the temperature inside the secondary heat source chamber 31.
[0030] As one embodiment of this utility model, a primary heat source air guide pipe 24 is bypassed to the primary heat source exhaust channel 23. The primary heat source air guide pipe 24 is connected to the secondary heat source air inlet pipe 36, which introduces part of the high-temperature waste heat gas in the primary heat source chamber 21 into the secondary heat source chamber 31. The temperature of the secondary heat source chamber 31 is controlled by the temperature regulating chamber 32 to ensure that the secondary heat source chamber 31 is in a constant low-temperature state of 60-80℃, thereby realizing the secondary gradient utilization of high-temperature waste heat gas to regulate the temperature of the cleaning fluid.
[0031] In addition, a partition 3c is connected between the outer wall 3a and the inner wall 3b. The partition 3c is located between the external air pipe 34 and the temperature-controlled exhaust pipe 35, so that the gas forms a unidirectional gas flow channel around the inner wall 3b in the temperature-controlled cavity 32, thereby increasing the contact time between the gas and the inner wall 3b.
[0032] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the concept and scope of the present invention. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the design concept of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
