DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Implementation Method 1

[0029] An automatic powder dispenser suitable for solid-state batteries, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 1, a stepper motor 2, a turntable 3, a mounting plate 6, a conveyor roller 7, a conveyor belt 8, a gear 9, a servo motor 10, a discharge frame 11 and a storage component. The stepper motor 2 is connected to the left side of the bottom of the mounting frame 1 by bolts, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 2 is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting frame 1. The output shaft of the stepper motor 2 is connected to the turntable 3 by a key. The bottom of the turntable 3 is in contact with the top of the mounting frame 1. Twenty charging holes 4 are evenly spaced on the turntable 3. The charging holes 4 can convey solid-state battery powder. A discharge hole 5 is opened in the middle of the top of the mounting frame 1. The discharge hole 5 and one of the charging holes 4 are connected. Correspondingly, a mounting plate 6 is connected to the right side of the mounting frame 1 by bolts, and a conveying roller 7 is rotatably connected to the right side of the mounting plate 6 and the top of the mounting frame 1. A conveying belt 8 is wound around the conveying roller 7, and the loading hole 4 conveys the solid-state battery powder to the conveying roller 7. The conveying roller 7 can convey the solid-state battery powder to the right. A servo motor 10 is installed on the top of the mounting frame 1 by bolts, and a gear 9 is connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 10 and the conveying roller 7 on the left, and the two gears 9 are meshed with each other. A discharge frame 11 is clamped on the right side of the mounting plate 6, and a storage component is provided on the mounting frame 1, which can store solid-state battery powder.

[0030] like Figure 2As shown, the storage assembly includes a support column 12, a connecting plate 13, a charging box 14, a cover plate 15 and a discharge pipe 16. The front and rear sides of the top of the mounting frame 1 are connected to the support columns 12 by bolts, the connecting plates 13 are connected between the support columns 12 by bolts, the middle part of the connecting plate 13 is connected to the charging box 14 by bolts, and the charging box 14 is used to store solid-state battery powder. The upper part of the charging box 14 and the upper part of the support column 12 are connected by bolts. The top of the charging box 14 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 15, and the cover plate 15 can prevent dust from falling into the charging box 14. The bottom of the charging box 14 is connected to the discharge pipe 16, and the solid-state battery powder in the charging box 14 can fall into the charging hole 4 through the discharge pipe 16, and the discharge pipe 16 corresponds to the charging hole 4 on the left.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a door panel 30 is also included. The left and right sides of the front side of the installation frame 1 are rotatably connected with the door panel 30. The door panel 30 can prevent dust from floating into the installation frame 1.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, a clamping rod 31 is also included. The front and rear sides of the mounting plate 6 are rotatably connected with the clamping rod 31, and the clamping rod 31 clamps the discharge frame 11.

[0033] like Fig. 9 As shown, a baffle 32 is also included. The baffle 32 is slidably provided on the discharge pipe 16, and the baffle 32 can block the solid-state battery powder.

[0034] People pull the baffle 32 to the right to open the discharge pipe 16, and then open the cover 15 to put the solid-state battery powder into the charging box 14. The solid-state battery powder falls into the charging hole 4 through the discharge pipe 16. When the charging box 14 is filled with enough solid-state battery powder, people close the cover 15 and then start the servo motor 10. The servo motor 10 drives the conveying roller 7 on the left to rotate through the gear 9, thereby driving the conveyor belt 8 to rotate, and then controls the output shaft of the stepper motor 2 to rotate 18 degrees every 5 seconds. The stepper motor 2 can drive the turntable 3 to rotate to convey the solid-state battery powder in the charging hole 4. After the turntable 3 rotates 18 degrees, the stepper motor 2 is turned off. At this time, the next charging hole 4 corresponds to the discharge pipe 16, and the solid-state battery powder in the discharge pipe 16 falls into the charging hole 4. After 5 seconds, the stepper motor 2 continues to work and continues to convey the solid-state battery powder in the charging hole 4. When the charging hole 4 filled with solid-state battery powder corresponds to the discharge hole 5, the solid-state battery powder falls onto the conveyor belt 8 through the discharge hole 5. The conveyor belt 8 conveys the solid-state battery powder to the right and transports the solid-state battery powder to the discharge frame 11, and then discharges it through the discharge frame 11. People can put the solid-state battery shell The solid-state battery powder is placed just below the discharge frame 11 to make the solid-state battery powder fall into the solid-state battery shell. This reciprocating process can continuously distribute the solid-state battery powder. When it is not necessary to distribute the solid-state battery powder, people turn off the stepper motor 2 and the servo motor 10. When the device needs to be repaired, people can push the baffle 32 to the left to close the discharge pipe 16 to prevent the solid-state battery powder from being discharged from the discharge pipe 16. The door panel 30 can block the dust to prevent the dust from floating into the installation frame 1. The door panel 30 can be opened to facilitate people to maintain the inside of the installation frame 1. The clamping rod 31 can clamp the discharge frame 11 to prevent The discharging frame 11 falls off. When solid-state battery powder needs to be loaded into solid-state battery shells of different shapes, people can rotate the clamping rod 31 upward so that the clamping rod 31 no longer blocks the discharging frame 11, and people take out the discharging frame 11. If solid-state battery powder is loaded into a cylindrical solid-state battery shell, people can replace it with a discharging frame 11 with a circular bottom. If solid-state battery powder is loaded into a square solid-state battery shell, people can replace it with a discharging frame 11 with a square bottom. This can be suitable for solid-state battery shells of different shapes. After replacing the discharging frame 11, people rotate the clamping rod 31 downward to lock the discharging frame 11.

[0035] Implementation Method 2

[0036] Based on implementation mode 1, Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it also includes a vibration motor 17, a collecting ring 18, a discharge pipe 19 and a collecting frame 191. The vibration motor 17 is connected to the top rear side of the mounting frame 1 by bolts, and the collecting ring 18 is connected to the outer side of the turntable 3 by screws. The collecting ring 18 is set low in the front and high in the back. The collecting ring 18 is in contact with the vibration motor 17. The vibration motor 17 can make the collecting ring 18 vibrate. The front side of the bottom of the collecting ring 18 is connected to the discharge pipe 19. The discharge pipe 19 passes through the mounting frame 1. A collecting frame 191 is placed in the mounting frame 1. The collecting frame 191 is located directly below the discharge pipe 19. The solid-state battery powder in the collecting ring 18 can fall into the collecting frame 191 through the discharge pipe 19.

[0037] When the turntable 3 rotates, the solid-state battery powder easily flows out from the gap between the turntable 3 and the discharge pipe 16 and flows onto the turntable 3. The turntable 3 can throw the outflowing solid-state battery powder into the collecting ring 18 for collection to prevent the solid-state battery powder from falling onto the mounting frame 1. Then people can start the vibration motor 17, which can make the collecting ring 18 vibrate. The solid-state battery powder in the collecting ring 18 rolls from a high place to a low place, and then falls into the collecting frame 191 through the discharge pipe 19 for recycling and resource saving.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a storage box 20, a powder pump 21 and a suction tube 22. The storage box 20 is connected to the left side of the installation frame 1 by bolts, and solid-state battery powder can be stored in the storage box 20. The powder pump 21 is connected to the top of the loading box 14 by bolts. The discharge end of the powder pump 21 is connected to the loading box 14. The suction tube 22 is connected to the powder pump 21 by threads. The suction tube 22 passes through the connecting plate 13, and the suction tube 22 is located in the storage box 20.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a laser emitter 23, a laser receiver 24 and a warning light 25. The laser emitter 23 is installed on the upper front side of the loading box 14 by screws, and the laser receiver 24 is installed on the upper rear side of the loading box 14 by screws. The laser emitter 23 and the laser receiver 24 are connected to each other, and the warning light 25 is connected to the upper right side of the front support column 12 by screws. The warning light 25 and the laser receiver 24 are electrically connected.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, a filter plate 29 is also included. The filter plate 29 is connected to the storage box 20. The filter plate 29 can filter large particles of impurities in the solid-state battery powder. The suction tube 22 passes through the filter plate 29.

[0041] People can pour the solid-state battery powder into the storage box 20 for storage. The filter plate 29 can filter out large particles of impurities in the solid-state battery powder to prevent the large particles of impurities from blocking the suction tube 22. When solid-state battery powder needs to be added, people can turn on the laser transmitter 23, and the laser transmitter 23 emits a laser, which shines on the laser receiver 24, and then start the powder pump 21. The powder pump 21 sucks the solid-state battery powder in the storage box 20 into the loading box 14 through the suction tube 22. This makes it convenient for people to add solid-state battery powder. When the solid-state battery powder blocks the laser emitted by the laser transmitter 23, the laser does not shine on the laser receiver 24, and the prompt light 25 lights up, indicating that the loading box 14 is already filled with enough solid-state battery powder. People can then turn off the powder pump 21. When the laser shines on the laser receiver 24 again, the prompt light 25 goes out.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, it also includes threaded rods 26, threaded sleeves 27 and legs 28. Three threaded rods 26 are connected to the front and back sides of the bottom of the installation frame 1. The threaded rods 26 are threaded with threaded sleeves 27. The bottom of the threaded sleeves 27 are connected to legs 28. The legs 28 can support the installation frame 1.

[0043] After the installation frame 1 is placed on the ground, the legs 28 are in contact with the ground. If a leg 28 is not in contact with the ground, people can turn the threaded sleeve 27 on the leg 28 downward to drive the leg 28 to move downward so that the leg 28 is in contact with the ground, supporting the installation frame 1 and making the installation frame 1 more stable.

[0044] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
