Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a rolling roll and an electrode rolling device including the same, and more particularly, to a rolling roll and an electrode rolling device capable of preventing wrinkles in an uncoated portion of an electrode sheet by providing heat to the uncoated portion in a rolling process of the electrode sheet.

[0002] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0066839 dated May 31, 2022, and all contents disclosed in the documents of that Korean patent application are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]

[0003] As the application fields of secondary batteries expand, the demand for higher capacity secondary batteries is rapidly increasing. Research on technology to increase the loading amount of electrode active material is progressing as a method to increase the capacity of secondary batteries. However, increasing the loading amount of electrode active material increases the volume of the electrode. In this case, a process of rolling the electrode at a higher pressure is required to reduce the volume of the electrode.

[0004] 1 and 2 are diagrams for explaining a process of rolling an electrode sheet using a conventional rolling roll.

[0005] 1 and 2, an electrode substrate 10 has a coated portion 12 to which a positive or negative electrode active material is applied, and a non-coated portion 11 to which no electrode active material is applied. The non-coated portion 11 is a portion that is not coated with an electrode active material.

[0006] Referring to Figure 2, the coating portion 12 is arranged in a line along the running direction MD of the electrode substrate 10, and multiple coating portions 12 can be arranged along the width direction W of the electrode substrate 10, with an uncoated portion 11 located between two adjacent coating portions 12.

[0007] The electrode substrate 10 undergoes a rolling process while passing through a pair of rolling rollers 21 and 22. At this time, the rolling rollers 21 and 22 come into contact with the coating portion 12 and press the coating portion 12. In this manner, the density of the coating portion 12 of the electrode substrate 10 increases and the volume decreases through the rolling process.

[0008] However, there is a problem that the uncoated portion 11 may be severely wrinkled or broken during the process of rolling the electrode substrate 10 under high pressure. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

The second inner surface may have the same diameter as the diameter of the induction heating roll. The second inner surface and the second outer surface may be provided in parallel. In this case, the second roll surface may connect the second inner surface and the second outer surface. In such a structure, the heating roll surface of the induction heating roll and the second roll surface of the second roll unit may be connected without a step.

[0021] The second roll portion may be provided such that the diameter of the second outer surface is smaller than the diameter of the second inner surface.

[0037] Hereinafter, a rolling roll and an electrode rolling apparatus including the same according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] In addition, regardless of the drawing symbols, the same or similar reference numbers will be used for the same or corresponding components, and duplicate descriptions will be omitted. For convenience of explanation, the size and shape of each component shown may be exaggerated or reduced.

[0040] 3 and 4, an electrode rolling apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pair of rolls 110, 120 and a control unit 130. The control unit 130 controls the operation of each of the rolls 110, 120.

[0041] Each of the rolling rolls 110, 120 includes a rotating shaft 111 and a pair of roll units 115, 117 that are mounted on the rotating shaft 111 at a predetermined interval and positioned on the coating unit 12 of the electrode sheet 10. Each of the rolling rolls 110, 120 also includes an induction heating roll 113 that is disposed between the pair of roll units 115, 117 and mounted on the rotating shaft 111.

[0042] The induction heating roll 113 is located on the uncoated portion 11 of the electrode sheet 10 and includes an induction coil 113b that is inductively heated when the rotating shaft 111 rotates, and a body 113a that surrounds the induction coil 113b.

[0043] The pair of pressure rolls 110, 120 are disposed on the travel path MD of the electrode sheet 10, and are disposed above and below the electrode sheet 10. The pair of pressure rolls 110, 120 are disposed so as to press the electrode sheet 10 upward and downward.

[0044] The electrode rolling apparatus 100 may include a power supply unit 150 electrically connected to the induction coil 113b, and a driving unit 140 (e.g., a motor) for rotating the rotating shaft 111 of the rolling rolls 110 and 120. The power supply unit 150 and the driving unit 140 may be controlled by a control unit 130.

[0045] 1 and 2, the electrode sheet 10 has a coating portion 12 and an uncoated portion 11. The induction heating roll 113 is positioned on the uncoated portion 11 of the electrode sheet 10 so as to transfer heat to the uncoated portion 11 of the electrode sheet 10.

[0046] The induction coil 113b is electrically connected to a power supply unit 150. When an AC voltage is applied to the induction coil 113b through the power supply unit 150, an induced current is generated, and the body 113a can generate Joule heat due to the induced current. In addition, when the induction heating roll 113 is positioned on the non-coated portion 11 of the electrode sheet 10, the induction heating roll 113 transfers heat to the non-coated portion 11 of the electrode sheet 10 during the process in which the pair of roll units roll the coating unit 12, so that the non-coated portion 11 can be easily forced to stretch.

[0047] The pair of pressure rolls 110, 120 roll the electrode sheet 10 under pressure while rotating in opposite directions.

[0048] The pair of rolls 110, 120 have the same structure and operation method. For convenience of explanation, the present embodiment will mainly describe the upper roll 110 with reference to FIG.

[0049] A rolling roll 110 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a rotating shaft 111 , an induction heating roll 113 , and a pair of roll portions 115 and 117 .

[0050] 4 and 5, the rolling rolls 110, 120 include a rotating shaft 111 and a pair of roll units 115, 117 mounted on the rotating shaft 111 at a predetermined interval and positioned on the coating unit 12 of the electrode sheet 10.

[0053] The induction heating roll 113 is attached to the rotating shaft 111 so as to be disposed at a position facing the uncoated portion 11 of the electrode sheet 10, and is induction heated when the rotating shaft 111 rotates, thereby transferring heat to the uncoated portion 11. For example, when the uncoated portion 11 is provided at the center of the width direction w of the electrode sheet 10, the induction heating roll 113 may be attached to the center of the rotating shaft 111. During the rolling process, the control unit 130 may rotate the rolling roll 110 through the driving unit 140, and apply an AC current to the induction coil 113b through the power supply unit 150.

The main body 113a is attached to the rotating shaft 111 so as to surround the central portion of the rotating shaft 111. As an example, the main body 113a may be formed of a stainless steel material.

[0058] In addition, induction coil 113b is built into main body 113a, and generates heat while generating a magnetic field when AC current is applied. The heat generated by induction coil 113b heats main body 113a to a predetermined temperature. In addition, the heat is transferred to the outside of the main body (non-coated portion) via heating roll surface 113a-1.

[0059] In the rolling process of the electrode sheet 10, the induction heating roll 113 is positioned opposite the uncoated portion 11 and transfers heat to the uncoated portion 11, thereby forcibly stretching the uncoated portion 11, thereby preventing wrinkles in the uncoated portion 11.
