A coating die head is provided with a feeding channel, a first flow homogenization cavity and a plurality of coating ports arranged at intervals in a first direction, wherein the first flow homogenization cavity extends in the first direction and is in communication with the feeding channel; the first flow homogenization cavity is in communication with the plurality of coating ports; two ends of the feeding channel are respectively a feeding port and a connecting port connected to the first flow homogenization cavity; and from the feeding port to the connecting port, the size of the cross section of the feeding channel in the first direction tends to increase.

An apparatus for measuring a step difference between a lip and a shim of a slot die includes: a laser sensor configured to measure a step difference between a lip and a shim of a slot die, the laser sensor being disposed to face the lip and the shim of the slot die, and a jig configured to come into contact with at least a part of the body where a portion of the slot die from which the ink is discharged is positioned. A method to implementing the same.

There is provided a dual slot die coater that is easy to adjust a coating gap and can control a widthwise deviation of coating gap. The dual slot die coater of the present disclosure includes a plate member including a lower plate, an intermediate plate positioned on the lower plate and an upper plate positioned on the intermediate plate, wherein a lower slot is formed between the intermediate plate and the lower plate, and an upper slot is formed between the upper plate and the intermediate plate; a block provided on a rear surface of the plate member, wherein the block can be separated from or coupled to the plate member, or integrally formed with at least one plate of the plate member; a first bolt to push at least one plate of the plate member from the block as the first bolt passes through the block; and a second bolt to pull the at least one plate of the plate member toward the block as the second bolt passes through the block.

A dual-slot die coater including a first slot and a second slot for discharging a coating solution in a direction opposite to gravity, a first die block vertically installed on a rear portion of an upper surface of a base, a second die block arranged on a front surface of the first die block to form the first slot between the second die block and the first die block, and a third die block arranged on a front surface of the second die block to form the second slot between the third die block and the second die block, and further includes an alignment block provided between a front portion of the upper surface of the base and a lower surface of the second die block and fastened and coupled to the lower surface of the second die block and a lower surface of the first die block by bolts.

A coating die includes a die body and a regulation assembly. An accommodating cavity for accommodating a slurry is provided in the die body, and the die body is further provided with a coating gap communicating with the accommodating cavity and extending along a first direction. The regulation assembly includes a flow regulation member running through the die body along a second direction and capable of running into the coating gap. The regulation assembly further includes a drive mechanism, where the drive mechanism is connected to an end of the flow regulation member extending out of the die body so as to drive the flow regulation member to move along the second direction, and the drive mechanism is configured to be able to regulate displacement of the flow regulation member in the second direction according to coating weight information of a slurry flowing out of the coating gap.

Provided is a multi-slot die coater with reduced structural vulnerability to deformation and twist in the multi-slot die coater basically including three die blocks. The multi-slot die coater according to the present disclosure is a multi-slot die coater including a first slot and a second slot to extrude and coat a coating solution on a surface of a continuously moving substrate through at least one of the first slot or the second slot, and includes a first outer die block, an intermediate die block and a second outer die block. The multi-slot die coater includes a bolt fastened at contact surfaces between the first outer die block, the intermediate die block and the second outer die block, the bolt being at such an angle that a bolt head faces a first exit port and a second exit port.

A method for measuring a step difference between a lip and a shim of a slot die includes contacting a jig with at least one of a plurality of bodies of the slot die where a portion of the slot die from which the ink is discharged is positioned, wherein the jig has a laser sensor; and measuring a step difference between a plurality of lips of the slot die and the at least one shim of the slot die with the laser sensor.

There is provided a dual slot die coater that is easy to adjust a coating gap and can control a widthwise deviation of coating gap. The dual slot die coater of the present disclosure includes a plate member including a lower plate, an intermediate plate positioned on the lower plate and an upper plate positioned on the intermediate plate, wherein a lower slot is formed between the intermediate plate and the lower plate, and an upper slot is formed between the upper plate and the intermediate plate; a block provided on a rear surface of the plate member, wherein the block can be separated from or coupled to the plate member, or integrally formed with at least one plate of the plate member; a first bolt to push at least one plate of the plate member from the block as the first bolt passes through the block; and a second bolt to pull the at least one plate of the plate member toward the block as the second bolt passes through the block.
