Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to an electrode rolling apparatus including a non-coating portion pressing unit that rolls a non-coating portion of an electrode substrate and an electrode rolling method using the same, and can prevent a swell from occurring in the non-coating portion region during the process of rolling the electrode substrate and increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . An electrode rolling apparatus that rolls an electrode substrate comprising a current collector layer and an electrode mixture layer formed on one surface or both surfaces of the current collector layer, wherein the electrode rolling apparatus comprises a first non-coating portion roller and a second non-coating portion roller that press a non-coating portion region of the electrode substrate to form a pattern; an electrode roller that rolls the electrode substrate; and a non-coating portion induction heater that inductively heats a partial region of a coating portion and an entire region of the non-coating portion region with respect to a boundary line between the coating portion and the non-coating portion region of the electrode substrate, wherein the first and second non-coating portion rollers are arranged subsequent to the electrode roller along an advancing direction of the electrode substrate, wherein an HB hardness of a material of the first non-coating portion roller is different than an HB hardness of a material of the second non-coating portion roller. 2 . The electrode rolling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein: at least one of the first and second non-coating portion rollers has a structure in which surface unevenness is formed. 3 . The electrode rolling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein: the first non-coating portion roller has a structure in which surface unevenness is formed, and the second non-coating portion roller has a structure in which unevenness is not formed on the surface. 4 . The electrode rolling apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein: the first non-coating portion roller has higher hardness than the second non-coating portion roller. 5 . The electrode rolling apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein: the first non-coating portion roller is located at the upper part of the non-coating portion region, and the second non-coating portion roller is located at the lower part of the non-coating portion region. 6 . The electrode rolling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein: an insulating coating layer is formed on a boundary line between a coating portion and the non-coating portion region of the electrode substrate, and the first and second non-coating portion rollers press the non-coating portion region and the insulating coating layer together. 7 . The electrode rolling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein: the electrode roller includes a pair of rollers that press a region including a coating portion of the electrode substrate. 8 . The electrode rolling apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising: a dryer that heats and dries the electrode substrate, wherein the dryer has a structure located downstream of the electrode roller or located on the same line so as the electrode roller.
