A coating method has a reciprocating rotating step. A wire bar is rotated at a first rotational speed for coating a film on a web. In a process of rotating the wire bar at the first rotational speed, a tangential direction of the wire bar at a connecting area between the wire bar and the web is opposite to a moving direction of the web, and then the wire bar is rotated to restore to an original position at a second rotational speed. Meanwhile, the tangential direction is changed and is same to the moving direction of the web. The second rotational speed is far faster than the first rotational speed. A coating device has a base, the wire bar disposed across the base, and a rotation adjusting module connected to the wire bar for driving the wire bar to rotate reciprocatingly.

The present application provides a chain-type roller coating apparatus, including a liquid coating roller and a synchronizing wheel. The synchronizing wheel is provided with a mounting hole. A proximity switch is arranged on an outer side of the synchronizing wheel. The synchronizing wheel is further provided with a trigger element which is configured to be sensed by the proximity switch. The liquid coating roller is assembled with the mounting hole of the synchronizing wheel by a connecting shaft. A shaft main body of the connecting shaft is equipped with a rotation support device configured to support a rotation of the shaft main body. The rotation support device is equipped with a first lifting driving device configured to drive the rotation support device to ascend or descend vertically. A ranging sensor is arranged exactly above the liquid coating roller.

[Object] To reduce heat damage to a film when a lithium layer is formed on the film by using a roll-to-roll system.

[Solving Means] A roll-to-roll deposition apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, a film travel mechanism, a lithium source, and a first roller. The vacuum chamber is capable of maintaining a reduced-pressure state. The film travel mechanism is capable of causing a film to travel inside the vacuum chamber. The lithium source is capable of making lithium melt inside the vacuum chamber. The first roller is disposed between a deposition surface of the film and the lithium source. The first roller has a transfer pattern that receives the molten lithium from the lithium source. The first roller transfers a pattern of a lithium layer corresponding to the transfer pattern to the deposition surface while being rotated.
