Abstract

Disclosed is an electrode drying device, which includes a drying chamber configured to accommodate a roll-shaped electrode, and a drying unit provided in the drying chamber to dry the electrode, the drying unit being configured to surround the electrode.

Claims (20)

1. An electrode drying device, comprising:

a drying chamber configured to accommodate a roll-shaped electrode; and

a drying unit provided in the drying chamber to dry the electrode, the drying unit being configured to surround the electrode;

the drying unit includes:

a heat source for giving heat to dry the electrode; and

a clamping part for supplying the heat provided from the heat source to the electrode, the clamping part being configured to surround an outer surface of the electrode,

wherein an inner surface of the clamping part is in direct contact with the outer surface of the electrode.

2. The electrode drying device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the clamping part presses the electrode to prevent heat loss of the electrode.

3. The electrode drying device according to claim 2 ,

wherein a heat wire is provided at an inner surface of the clamping part.

4. The electrode drying device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the clamping part is made of thermally conductive material.

5. The electrode drying device according to claim 4 ,

wherein the clamping part is made of stainless steel.

6. The electrode drying device according to claim 2 , wherein the clamping part includes:

a first clamping member configured to surround a portion of the outer surface of the electrode; and

a second clamping member pivotally mounted to the first clamping member to surround the other portion of outer surface of the electrode.
