PRODUCTION DEVICE OF ELECTRODE MEMBER AND PRODUCTION METHOD OF ELECTRODE MEMBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240105903 titled 'PRODUCTION DEVICE OF ELECTRODE MEMBER AND PRODUCTION METHOD OF ELECTRODE MEMBER

Simplified Explanation

The production device described in the abstract is used for creating an electrode member for a battery. It includes a backup roll, a first die, and a second die, each serving a specific function in the coating process.

  • The backup roll supports a current collector.
  • The first die coats the current collector with a first slurry to form a first coating layer.
  • The second die then coats the first coating layer with a second slurry to form a second coating layer.
  • The discharge angle of the second slurry in the second die is between -90° and +60°.

Potential Applications

The technology can be used in the manufacturing of batteries, specifically in creating electrode members with precise coating layers.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in achieving uniform and controlled coating layers on current collectors, which is crucial for the performance and efficiency of batteries.

Benefits

- Improved battery performance - Enhanced battery efficiency - Consistent and reliable coating process

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing production devices for coating electrode members, but the specific design and functionality described in this patent application may be unique.

Unanswered Questions

How does the discharge angle affect the quality of the coating layers?

The abstract mentions specific discharge angle ranges for the second slurry, but it does not elaborate on how these angles impact the final product.

Are there any limitations to the use of this production device?

While the abstract highlights the functionality of the device, it does not mention any potential drawbacks or limitations that users may encounter.


Original Abstract Submitted

a production device of an electrode member to be used for a battery, the production device including: a backup roll configured to support a current collector to be carried; a first die configured to form a first coating layer by coating the current collector on the backup roll with a first slurry; and a second die configured to form a second coating layer by coating the first coating layer on the backup roll with a second slurry, wherein each of the first die and the second die are independent; and when horizontal direction is regarded as a reference 0�, perpendicular downward is regarded as +90�, and perpendicular upward is regarded as −90�, a discharge angle of the second slurry in the second die is −90� or more and +60� or less.
