Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, in the single-chamber powder preparation equipment and process, most of the time is spent on vacuuming and vacuum maintenance during the cycle of vacuum extraction, powder generation and processing, and vacuum maintenance. It takes 3-4 hours for the equipment to be vacuumed, and the time for powder preparation is less than 0.5 hours. The time for vacuum extraction and vacuum maintenance accounts for 50%-70%, while the actual powder production time is 15-20%. In other words, the production efficiency is low. At the same time, due to the vacuum extraction and vacuum maintenance and repeated repetition of this process, a large amount of energy will be consumed, which will greatly increase the cost.
[0006] 2. Low purity and cross-contamination
[0007] For the single-chamber powder preparation equipment and process, after the nano-powder preparation of one material is prepared, if the powder of other materials is prepared, there will be powder residues in copper crucibles, equipment connections and other places that cannot be removed, resulting in When preparing the next powder, there is at least two kinds of mutual contamination between the powders, thereby reducing the purity of the nano-powders
[0008] 3. Unable to realize continuous production in the true sense
[0009] The current single-chamber powder preparation equipment and process are limited by the size of the anode material, and there will be insufficient continuity in the continuous feeding and supply process of the material
At the same time, since the powder collection process requires repeated vacuuming and vacuuming processes, the operation time is relatively high. This method cannot achieve continuous production on the premise of ensuring product quality in large-scale industrial production. In the near future phase out
