ELECTRODE SHEET DRYING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372386 titled 'ELECTRODE SHEET DRYING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

An infrared heater is positioned on one side of an electrode sheet as it moves along a transfer path, while a radiation temperature sensor is located on the opposite side of the electrode sheet to measure the temperature of the back surface of the sheet. The sensor is designed to detect the temperature of the back surface of the electrode sheet, which is the closest to the infrared heater, without including the peak wavelength of the infrared light emitted by the heater in its detectable range.

  • Infrared heater positioned on one side of an electrode sheet
  • Radiation temperature sensor on the other side to measure back surface temperature
  • Sensor configured to exclude peak wavelength of infrared light from heater
  • Measurement of temperature closest to the infrared heater

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and electronics for precise temperature control in processes involving electrode sheets.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the problem of accurately measuring the temperature of the back surface of an electrode sheet without interference from the infrared light emitted by the heater.

Benefits

- Improved temperature control - Enhanced process efficiency - Prevents inaccuracies in temperature measurements

Potential Commercial Applications

"Optimizing Temperature Measurement in Electrode Sheet Processing for Enhanced Efficiency"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to infrared heaters and temperature sensors used in industrial processes, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.

Unanswered Questions

By optimizing temperature control and reducing inaccuracies in measurements, companies can save costs on materials and improve overall production efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

An infrared heater is disposed on one side of an electrode sheet transferred along a transfer path. A radiation temperature sensor is disposed on the other side of the electrode sheet to measure the temperature of the back surface of the electrode sheet corresponding to the back side of a front surface portion of the electrode sheet that is the closest to the infrared heater. The radiation temperature sensor is configured such that the peak wavelength of infrared light radiated to the surface of the electrode sheet by the infrared heater is not included in the detectable wavelength range of infrared light detected by the radiation temperature sensor.
