Active material coating method for secondary battery and coating apparatus
A method of coating an active material for a secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a method of coating an active material on an electrode current collector of a secondary battery, the method comprising the steps of: disposing a guide member on each of the left and right sides based on a moving direction of the electrode current collector, and coating the active material onto the electrode current collector between the two guide members.
1. An apparatus for coating an active material for a secondary battery, the apparatus comprising:
a first roller adapted to move an electrode current collector in a moving direction,
a guide member disposed correspond to a non-coated portion of the electrode current collector,
a second roller located respectively at both ends of the guide member configured to rotate the guide member in place, and
a coating machine adapted to coat the active material on a coated portion of the electrode current collector,
wherein a rotating direction of the first roller and a rotating direction of the second roller are opposite to each other, and
wherein the coating machine is disposed after the second roller, in the moving direction of the electrode current collector.
2. The apparatus for coating an active material for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising a cleaner disposed in the guide member,
wherein cleaner is configured to suction remaining active materials of the guide member.
3. The apparatus for coating an active material for a secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the cleaner suctions the remaining active materials of the guide member while the guide member rotates.
4. The apparatus for coating an active material for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a one side surface forming a boundary with the coated portion among both side surfaces of the guide member is perpendicular to an upper surface of the electrode current collector.
5. The apparatus for coating an active material for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the guide member is formed of one of a rubber belt and a cloth-based belt.
