[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are increasingly widely used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and energy storage due to their high energy density and long cycle life. In the dry process, no solvents are needed; the battery raw materials are in powder form. A binder is added to the powder, and then an extrusion device is used to press the battery raw material powder together with a positive or negative current collector to produce the lithium-ion battery electrode film. Existing dry-process lithium-ion battery electrode films are processed using roller pressing equipment. During processing, impurities such as fibers and material particles easily adhere to the outer surface of the rollers. These residual impurities can affect the quality of the subsequent film (e.g., indentations appear on the film surface, or even breakage occurs). Utility Model Content

[0030] This invention proposes a film-forming device for dry-process batteries.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 2 The device shown is a film-forming apparatus for dry-process batteries, comprising a main body and two pressure rollers 1 spaced apart, forming a working gap 11 between them for the material to be extruded. A cleaning mechanism is provided on the side of each pressure roller 1 away from the working gap 11. The cleaning mechanism includes a brush body 2, a sprayer 3, and a cleaning roller 4, arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the pressure rollers 1. The brush body 2 is used to initially remove impurities from the working surface of the pressure rollers 1; the sprayer 3 is used to spray cleaning fluid onto the working surface of the pressure rollers 1 after the initial impurity removal; and the cleaning roller 4 is used to remove the cleaning fluid from the working surface of the pressure rollers 1 for further cleaning.

[0032] The brush body 2 and the cleaning roller 4 perform dual cleaning. The brush body 2 first removes impurities with low adhesion, and then the cleaning liquid is sprayed through the sprayer 3 so that the cleaning roller 4 can thoroughly clean the pressure roller 1. This ensures that the surface of the pressure roller 1 remains clean when it squeezes the material in the working gap 11, effectively guaranteeing the quality of the subsequent film.

[0033] The brush body 2 includes a brush head 21, a connecting rod 22, a mounting base 23, and a base 24. One end of the connecting rod 22 is connected to the brush head 21, and the other end is connected to the mounting base 23. The base 24 is fixed to the side of the pressure roller 1 away from the working gap 11. The mounting base 23 is hinged to the base 24 via a rotating shaft 25, the axis of which is parallel to the axis of the pressure roller 1. The base 24 is provided with a fixing mechanism 5, which is used to fix the relative positions of the mounting base 23 and the base 24. The mounting base 23 rotates along the rotating shaft 25, thereby adjusting the contact angle between the brush head 21 and the pressure roller 1, so that the operator can adjust the position of the brush head 21 according to the cleaning effect of the brush head 21, to ensure the cleaning effect of the brush body 2 on the pressure roller 1.

[0034] Specifically, the brush head 21 and the connecting rod 22 are connected by a detachable threaded bolt so that the staff can replace the brush head 21.

[0035] The fixing mechanism 5 includes a top plate 51 and a bottom plate 52, which are vertically spaced apart, forming an adjustment space between them. The mounting base 23 is located within the adjustment space. An adjuster is provided on the top plate 51, which drives the connecting base 24. A spring seat is provided on the side of the bottom plate 52 facing the top plate 51, and the spring seat abuts against the mounting base 23. The adjuster and the spring seat limit the adjustment angle of the connecting rod 22 and ensure the firmness of the connecting rod 22 after the adjustment angle, so that the brush head 21 can better clean the pressure roller 1.

[0036] The top plate 51 has a threaded through hole 53 along its thickness. The adjuster includes a handle 54, a screw 55, and a pressure block 56. The handle 54 is located on the side of the top plate 51 away from the adjustment space, and the pressure block 56 is located on the side of the top plate 51 facing the mounting base 23, abutting against the mounting base 23. One end of the screw 55 is connected to the handle 54, and the other end of the screw 55 is threaded to the threaded through hole 53 and extends into the adjustment space to connect to the pressure block 56. The operator rotates the pressure block 56 by rotating the handle 54, causing the pressure block 56 to push the mounting base 23 to rotate along the shaft 25.

[0037] The spring seat includes a support block 57 and a spring spring 58. The support block 57 is located on the side of the base plate 52 facing the mounting base 23. The spring spring 58 is located between the support block 57 and the base plate 52, with one end of the spring spring 58 connected to the support block and the other end connected to the base plate 52. The support block 57, through the elastic force of the spring spring 58, clamps and fixes the mounting base 23 to the pressure block 56.

[0038] Specifically, both the pressure block 56 and the support block 57 are spherical blocks, so that the pressure block 56 and the support block 57 can better clamp the mounting base 23.

[0039] Mounting base 23 has a mounting hole 26 on the side facing brush head 21. An electrically controlled telescopic rod 27 is fixedly installed within the mounting hole 26. The output end of the electrically controlled telescopic rod 27 drives the end of connecting rod 22 away from the brush body 2. The electrically controlled telescopic rod 27, in conjunction with the rotation of mounting base 23, enables more precise adjustment of brush head 21.

[0040] The cleaning mechanism also includes a negative pressure unit (not shown in the figure) and a suction tube 12. One end of the suction tube 12 is connected to the negative pressure unit, and the other end of the suction tube 12 is located near the brush body 2. The end of the suction tube 12 away from the negative pressure unit is located on the side of the brush body 2 away from the sprayer 3. The negative pressure unit uses the suction tube 12 to absorb the impurities brushed up by the brush body 2, preventing the brushed impurities from falling back onto the working surface of the pressure roller 1.

[0041] The cleaning roller 4 includes a roller body 41 and a cleaning sleeve 42, which is detachably fitted onto the side of the roller body 41 facing the working surface of the pressure roller 1. The cleaning sleeve 42 is replaced according to wear and tear during operation to ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning roller 4 on the pressure roller 1.

[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of the specification and drawings of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
