Abstract

An extrusion coating apparatus includes a housing having an inner chamber, a housing wall of the housing having a feed port and a coating outlet both communicated with the inner chamber, the coating outlet being in a slit shape; and further includes a porous structure disposed in the inner chamber and located on a material flow path between the feed port and the coating outlet, so that at least a portion of a material passes through the porous structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An extrusion coating apparatus, comprising:
a housing having an inner chamber, a housing wall of the housing having a feed port and a coating outlet both communicated with the inner chamber, the coating outlet being in a slit shape; and a porous structure disposed in the inner chamber and located on a material flow path between the feed port and the coating outlet, so that at least a portion of a material passes through the porous structure.

2 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the porous structure has at least three through holes, the at least three through holes comprise at least two groups of through holes, and the at least two groups of through holes are differed in at least one of through hole cross-sectional size and porosity.

3 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least two groups of through holes are arranged along a length direction of the coating outlet.

4 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least two groups of through holes include a first group of through holes and a plurality of second groups of through holes, wherein a region of the porous structure corresponding to the first group of through holes intersects a first plane, the plurality of second groups of through holes are located on one or both sides of the first group of through holes, the first group of through holes and the second groups of through holes are differed in at least one of the through hole cross-sectional size and the porosity, and the first plane is a reference plane passing through a midpoint of the feed port and perpendicular to the length direction of the coating outlet.

5 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the porosity of the first group of through holes is less than that of the second groups of through holes.

6 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the porosity of the second groups of through holes located on one side of the first group of through holes gradually increases in a direction away from the first plane.

7 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the through hole cross-sectional size of the first group of through holes is less than that of the second groups of through holes.

8 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the through hole cross-sectional sizes of the second groups of through holes located on one side of the first group of through holes gradually increase in a direction away from the first plane.

9 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the number of the plurality of second groups of through holes is an even number, and the plurality of second groups of through holes are symmetrical with respect to the first plane.

10 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the inner chamber comprises: a feeding chamber, a discharging chamber, and an intermediate chamber, wherein the feeding chamber is communicated with the feed port, the discharging chamber is communicated with the coating outlet, the intermediate chamber is located between the feeding chamber and the discharging chamber, and connects the feeding chamber and the discharging chamber; and the porous structure is located in at least one of the feeding chamber, the discharging chamber, and the intermediate chamber.

11 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein cross-sectional area of the feeding chamber gradually increases in a material flowing direction; and/or cross-sectional area of the discharging chamber gradually decreases in the material flowing direction.

12 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the porous structure comprises at least one first porous plate, and the at least one first porous plate is disposed in the discharging chamber and arranged at intervals along the material moving direction.

13 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the porous structure further comprises at least one second porous plate, and the at least one second porous plate is disposed in the intermediate chamber and arranged at intervals along the material moving direction.

14 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a covering member whose position relative to the porous structure is adjustable; and an adjustment mechanism connected to the covering member and configured to adjust a covering range of the covering member for the at least three through holes.

15 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the covering member is slidable on a surface of the porous structure away from the coating outlet.

16 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the adjustment mechanism comprises:
an adjustment channel penetrating from an outer wall of the housing to the inner chamber; and a locking portion disposed outside the housing and connected to the covering member, wherein the covering member is inserted into the adjustment channel and is slidable within the adjustment channel along the length direction of the coating outlet, and the locking portion is configured to lock the covering member at a set position within the adjustment channel.

17 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 16 , wherein the locking portion comprises:
a pressing block slidably disposed on a surface of the outer wall of the housing and configured to lock a position of the covering member relative to the housing by pressing the covering member; a fixed block disposed on the outer wall of the housing; and an adjusting bolt in threaded connection with the fixed block and abutting against the pressing block.

18 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein diameter d1 of through holes in the first group of through holes is 1-15 mm.

19 . The extrusion coating apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein the diameter d1 is 2-10 mm.
