Electrode Drying Apparatus and Electrode Drying Method Using Same

Abstract

An electrode drying device includes: a drying chamber having an inlet for receiving the electrode substrate on one side and an outlet for discharging the electrode substrate on other side; a piston rod positioned inside the drying chamber, extending upwardly and downwardly to press against both end portions in the width direction of an electrode substrate; a cylinder for moving a piston rod up and down in the thickness direction of the electrode substrate; and a plate coupled to an end facing the electrode substrate of the piston rod, and extending in a direction perpendicular to the width direction of the electrode substrate, so that even, the piston rod presses on the two end portions to suppress the bending phenomenon of the two end portions, and the plate coupled with the piston rod blocks the hot air applied to the two end portions to prevent excessive drying by hot air.
