ELECTRODE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17890681 titled 'ELECTRODE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electrode manufacturing apparatus that includes a film forming device for creating an electrode layer on a substrate surface. The film forming device consists of three rolls that rotate in opposite directions and a temperature adjusting unit to reduce temperature differences along the rolls.

  • The electrode manufacturing apparatus includes a film forming device with three rotating rolls.
  • The rolls are spaced apart and rotate in opposite directions.
  • A temperature adjusting unit is present to minimize temperature differences along the rolls.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Manufacturing of electrodes for batteries or fuel cells.
  • Production of electrodes for electronic devices such as capacitors or sensors.
  • Creation of electrodes for medical devices like pacemakers or neurostimulators.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Uneven temperature distribution along the rolls can lead to inconsistent electrode quality.
  • Temperature differences can cause variations in the thickness or adhesion of the electrode layer.
  • Inadequate temperature control can result in defects or failure of the electrode.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved uniformity and consistency of electrode layer thickness and quality.
  • Enhanced adhesion of the electrode layer to the substrate.
  • Higher production efficiency and reduced waste due to better temperature control.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electrode manufacturing apparatus includes a film forming device that forms an electrode layer on a surface of a substrate. The film forming device includes a first roll that rotates, a second roll that is spaced apart from and opposed to the first roll and rotates in an opposite direction of the first roll, a third roll that is spaced apart from and opposed to the second roll and rotates in the opposite direction of the second roll, and a temperature adjusting unit that reduces a temperature difference between a central portion and an end portion in an axial direction of at least one roll of the first roll, the second roll, and the third roll.
