Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated processing equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated processing equipment for manufacturing ultra-small spherical graphite anodes for lithium batteries. Background Technology
[0002] Lithium batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. Due to the highly reactive chemical properties of lithium metal, the processing, storage and use of lithium metal have very high environmental requirements. Currently, the negative electrode materials used in lithium-ion batteries are basically carbon materials, such as artificial graphite, natural graphite, mesophase carbon microspheres, petroleum coke, carbon fiber, pyrolytic resin carbon, etc.
[0003] The current processing of graphite materials for lithium battery anodes requires the use of multiple processing devices. This often results in powdered graphite material being dispersed and scattered by airflow during the transfer, feeding, molding, and discharge processes between these devices. This not only wastes the powdered graphite material and pollutes the surrounding work environment, but also requires manual assistance to process multiple devices, which can lead to operational errors and affect processing efficiency. Furthermore, the graphite waste generated during the feeding, molding, and discharge processes cannot be recycled and reused immediately, resulting in contamination of the graphite waste and reducing its utilization value.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, a solution is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated processing equipment for ultra-small spherical graphite for manufacturing lithium battery anodes. This addresses the problem that existing lithium battery anode graphite processing equipment requires multiple processing devices to work together, which easily leads to the powdered graphite material being transferred, added, shaped, and discharged between these devices, causing it to be scattered and dispersed by airflow. This not only wastes the powdered graphite material and pollutes the surrounding working environment, but also requires a certain amount of human assistance to process multiple devices, which is prone to operational errors and affects processing efficiency. Furthermore, the graphite waste generated during the adding, shaping, and discharging processes of existing equipment cannot be recycled and reused in a timely manner, resulting in the contamination of graphite waste and reducing its utilization value.

Springs that are engaged with the vibration frame are symmetrically installed in the middle of both sides of the inner wall of the feed hopper. There are multiple sets of plates arranged at equal intervals on the surface of the vibration frame.
[0010] The guide post end face is provided with a transmission component that penetrates the feed hopper, and the other end of the feed hopper is provided with a vibrating motor connected to the transmission component at the bottom outside. The bottom of both sides of the guide post is provided with a discharge port that penetrates the ball-forming device.
[0011] The powder filtration mechanism is installed side by side with the cover, and a pulse valve is provided on the top side of the cloth belt filter;
[0012] The top of the lifting machine is provided with a return port that extends into the feed hopper. The side of the lifting machine is provided with a storage box connected to the belt filter. The bottom of the storage box is provided with a conveyor belt connected to the lifting machine. The top two sides of the lifting machine are provided with a conveyor pipe connected to the dust suction hole and the belt filter, and a pulse valve. The pulse valve is activated at regular intervals to generate pulse airflow that vibrates the belt filter, causing the belt filter to intercept the graphite circulating powder and slide it into the storage box.
[0013] Preferably, the top two sides of the inner cavity of the ball-forming device are provided with guide frames that partially cover the forming rollers. The surface of the forming rollers is recessed with multiple sets of arc-shaped grooves. A cover is snapped onto the top of the guide frame.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the squeegee is provided with a powder collection chamber, and the surface of the squeegee is provided with a hole communicating with the powder collection chamber.

[0016] An integrated processing device for fabricating ultra-small spherical graphite anodes for lithium batteries, the working method of which includes the following steps:
[0017] Step 1: Pour the graphite powder into the feed hopper. The exhaust fan provides suction to the conveying pipe and dust extraction hole to extract and absorb the graphite powder that is scattered during the feeding process. When the feeding is complete, push the handle to close the feed hopper opening along the slide rail with the telescopic baffle.
[0018] Step 2: The vibrating motor drives the vibrating frame and vibrating components to vibrate synchronously through the transmission components. The vibrating frame drives the plate to vibrate and stir the graphite powder in the feed hopper. The graphite powder is kept loose and evenly enters the feeding port through continuous vibration. The forming rollers rotate and squeeze each other, so that the graphite powder in the relatively arc-shaped grooves is squeezed into balls to obtain graphite balls.
[0019] Step 3: The extruded graphite spheres are released from the arc-shaped groove as the forming roller rotates. The graphite spheres roll along the sprue to the discharge port, completing the graphite sphere forming process. The third conveyor pipe is provided with suction by the exhaust fan, which promotes the graphite powder waste residue on the sprue plate and the air containing graphite powder waste residue in the sphere forming equipment to enter the powder collection chamber. The third conveyor pipe extracts the graphite powder waste residue in the powder collection chamber and conveys it to the belt filter. The second conveyor pipe extracts the graphite powder waste residue in the discharge port area and conveys it to the belt filter. The belt filter intercepts and filters the air containing graphite powder waste residue to obtain graphite circulating powder. The pulse valve is activated at regular intervals to generate pulse airflow to vibrate the belt filter, causing the belt filter to intercept the graphite circulating powder and slide it into the storage box. The conveyor belt continuously transports the graphite circulating powder collected in the storage box to the lifting machine. The lifting machine extracts and conveys the graphite circulating powder through the return port into the feed hopper.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0021] (1) This invention uses a large-capacity feed hopper to accommodate a large amount of graphite powder at one time. The telescopic baffle assists in closing and opening the feed hopper, avoiding the graphite powder from being scattered and diffused by the airflow due to continuous filling, which would cause waste of graphite powder and pollution of the surrounding working environment. The vibrating frame, spring parts, and guide columns assist in the use of the feed hopper, keeping the graphite powder in the feed hopper in a loose state, and promoting the orderly entry of graphite powder into the discharge port under the action of vibration, avoiding blockage. The servo motor drives the forming roller to squeeze the graphite powder in the pelletizing equipment, which facilitates the one-time processing of a large amount of graphite pellets, saving time and effort. At the same time, the stencil and powder collection chamber are used to collect the graphite powder residue left in the pelletizing equipment.
[0022] (2) This invention uses a dust suction port and a conveying pipe to collect graphite powder residue left over from the graphite ball forming process. The air containing the graphite powder residue is intercepted and filtered by a cloth belt filter and a pulse valve to obtain graphite recycled powder. The recycling conveying mechanism transports the graphite recycled powder intercepted by the powder filtration mechanism to the feed hopper through a lifting machine, thus completing the recycling and utilization of graphite powder during the processing of graphite balls, reducing graphite powder waste, improving graphite powder utilization rate, and forming an integrated device.

[0041] Example 2:
[0042] This embodiment addresses the problem that graphite waste generated during the feeding, molding, and discharging processes of existing equipment cannot be recycled and reused immediately, leading to contamination of the graphite waste and reduced utilization value.

A dust suction port 603 connected to the conveying pipe 601 is provided on the inner wall of the discharge port 6. A discharge plate 602 is provided at the bottom of the discharge port 6.
[0045] The powder filtration mechanism 3 and the cover 4 are installed side by side. The top side of the cloth belt filter 302 is equipped with a pulse valve 303 that is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pelletizing device 5. The cloth belt filter 302 and the pulse valve 303 intercept and filter the air containing graphite powder waste to obtain graphite recycled powder.
[0046] The top of the lifting machine 202 is provided with a return port 201 that extends into the inside of the feed hopper 1.

The top two sides of the lifting machine 202 are provided with conveying pipes 205 connected to the dust suction hole 102 and the cloth belt filter 302.
[0047] The dust suction port and the auxiliary discharge port of the conveying pipe are used to collect the graphite powder residue left when the graphite balls are formed and detached from the equipment; the cloth filter 302 and the pulse valve 303 intercept and filter the air containing the graphite powder residue to obtain graphite circulating powder; the circulating conveying mechanism 2 transports the graphite circulating powder intercepted by the powder filtering mechanism 3 to the feed hopper 1 through the lifting machine 202.
[0048] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the specific steps of this integrated processing equipment for fabricating ultra-small spherical graphite anodes for lithium batteries include:
[0049] Step 1: Pour graphite powder into the feed hopper 1. Use handle 110 to pull the telescopic baffle 101 along the slide rail to slide on top of the feed hopper 1 to open the feed hopper 1. Adjust the size of the top opening of the feed hopper 1 according to the feeding requirements. The exhaust fan 301 provides suction to the conveying pipe 205 and the dust suction hole 102. The dust suction hole 102 provides suction to the opening area of the feed hopper 1 to extract and absorb the graphite powder that is scattered during feeding of the feed hopper 1, and enter the belt filter 302 along the conveying pipe 205. When feeding is complete, push handle 110 to close the opening of the feed hopper 1 along the slide rail with the telescopic baffle 101.
[0050] Step 2: Vibration motor 111 and servo motor 507 are started. Vibration motor 111 drives vibration frame 104 and vibration element 503 to vibrate synchronously through transmission component 108. Vibration frame 104 drives plate 105 to vibrate and stir graphite powder in feed hopper 1. The discharge port 109 is opened. Graphite powder is kept loose and evenly enters the discharge port 109 through continuous vibration. Servo motor 507 drives multiple forming rollers 502 to rotate synchronously through transmission shaft 508. Graphite powder slides down the discharge port 109 and guide frame 501 onto forming rollers 502. Loose graphite powder is filled into the arc grooves on forming rollers 502. The forming rollers 502 rotate and squeeze each other, so that the graphite powder in the opposite arc grooves is squeezed into balls to obtain graphite balls.
[0051] Step 3: The forming roller 502 continues to rotate. The extruded graphite balls detach from the arc-shaped groove as the forming roller 502 rotates, and fall onto the surface of the stencil plate 504. The graphite balls roll along the stencil plate 504 to the discharge port 6, completing the graphite ball forming process. At the same time, when the graphite balls detach from the forming roller 502, some residual graphite powder waste remains on the surface of the forming roller 502. This waste falls onto the stencil plate 504 through contact and friction with the guide frame 501. As the graphite balls roll along the stencil plate, some uncompacted graphite powder waste falls onto the stencil plate 504. The vibrating component 503 drives the stencil plate 504 to vibrate, promoting the rolling of the graphite balls and simultaneously promoting the graphite powder waste on the surface of the stencil plate 504 to pass through the holes and enter the powder collection chamber 505. The conveying pipe 306 is provided with suction by the exhaust fan 301, promoting the flow of graphite powder waste onto the stencil plate 504. The graphite powder waste residue and the air containing graphite powder waste residue in the pelletizing equipment 5 enter the powder collection chamber 505. The third conveyor pipe 506 extracts the graphite powder waste residue in the powder collection chamber 505 and conveys it to the belt filter 302. The second conveyor pipe 601 extracts the graphite powder waste residue in the discharge port 6 area and conveys it to the belt filter 302. The belt filter 302 intercepts and filters the air containing graphite powder waste residue to obtain graphite circulating powder. The pulse valve 303 is activated at regular intervals to generate pulse airflow to vibrate the belt filter 302, causing the belt filter 302 to intercept the graphite circulating powder and slide it into the storage box 204. The conveyor belt 203 continuously transports the graphite circulating powder collected in the storage box 204 to the lifting machine 202. The lifting machine 202 extracts and conveys the graphite circulating powder through the return port 201 into the feed hopper 1.

The vibration frame (104) drives the plate (105) to vibrate and stir the graphite powder in the feed hopper (1). The graphite powder is kept loose by continuous vibration and enters the feed port (109) evenly. The forming roller (502) rotates and squeezes each other, so that the graphite powder in the opposite arc groove is squeezed into a ball to obtain graphite balls. Step 3: The extruded graphite spheres are dislodged from the arc-shaped groove as the forming roller (502) rotates. The graphite spheres roll along the sprue plate (504) to the discharge port (6), completing the graphite sphere forming process. The third conveying pipe (506) is supplied with suction by the exhaust fan (301), which promotes the graphite powder waste residue on the sprue plate (504) and the air containing graphite powder waste residue in the sphere forming equipment (5) to enter the powder collection chamber (505). The third conveying pipe (506) extracts the graphite powder waste residue in the powder collection chamber (505) and conveys it to the belt filter (302). The second conveying pipe (601) extracts the graphite powder from the discharge port (6) area. The waste residue is conveyed to the belt filter (302). The belt filter (302) intercepts and filters the air containing the waste residue containing graphite powder to obtain graphite circulating powder. The pulse valve (303) is activated at regular intervals to generate pulse airflow to vibrate the belt filter (302), so that the belt filter (302) intercepts the graphite circulating powder and slides into the storage box (204). The conveyor belt (203) continuously transports the graphite circulating powder collected in the storage box (204) to the lifting machine (202). The lifting machine (202) extracts and conveys the graphite circulating powder through the return port (201) into the feed hopper (1).
