TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to an Acheson graphitization furnace auxiliary material and crucible assembly system and working method, mainly used for loading auxiliary materials and taking and placing crucibles of Acheson graphitization furnace for lithium battery negative electrode materials. BACKGROUND
[0002] Graphitization is to realize the ordered conversion of thermodynamically unstable carbon atoms from "disordered layer structure" to "graphite crystal structure" by thermal activation. In the graphitization process, high-temperature heat treatment provides energy for atomic rearrangement and structure transformation. Acheson furnace is the main furnace type for producing high-purity graphite in China at present, which has the advantages of simple method, reliable production, good graphitization effect, etc.
[0003] In the existing graphitization and pre-carbonization process of lithium battery negative electrode materials, there are many processes such as loading auxiliary materials, taking and placing crucibles, auxiliary material preparation, raw powder loading, and cooked powder discharging.
[0004] Loading auxiliary materials: auxiliary materials need to be laid in the Acheson graphitization furnace to achieve heat preservation and resistance effect, and the auxiliary materials include heat preservation materials and resistance materials, etc. The traditional Acheson furnace is usually matched with a material suction crane to load and heat the auxiliary materials after the high-temperature auxiliary materials are discharged from the furnace. The material suction crane equipment and the weight of the materials can reach more than 300 tons, which puts high requirements on the construction of the plant and has huge construction cost. In addition, the material suction crane will interfere with the ordinary crane, affecting the production efficiency.
[0005] Taking and placing crucibles: raw powder needs to be loaded into graphite crucibles, and then the crucibles are loaded into the Acheson graphitization furnace for heating and heat preservation, so as to complete the graphitization process. The commonly used method for taking crucibles generally relies on steel wire ropes combined with overhead cranes to complete the taking and placing of crucibles, taking and placing 1-2 crucibles at a time. In order to improve efficiency, self-weight type grabbing tools combined with overhead cranes are also used to complete the taking and placing of crucibles, which can grab 5-6 crucibles in a row at a time. The grabbed crucibles are placed on the tray at the edge of the furnace, and after the tray is full, the tray is transported to the ground by the overhead crane for processing. Long-time operation of the overhead crane will affect other furnace operations and overall work efficiency; according to this scheme, 6-10 workers are needed to cooperate with the operation, which has high labor cost; the temperature is very high when taking the crucibles, and the workers need to work in the furnace, which has a very poor working environment and safety hazards; when placing the crucibles, the distance between each row of crucibles needs to be 50mm, and the manual placement cannot guarantee the placement accuracy, which has a large error and affects the product quality consistency.

[0112] II. Auxiliary material filling
[0113] The Acheson graphitization furnace 15 is divided into upper, middle and lower parts, wherein the upper part is auxiliary material such as furnace top insulation material, the middle part is auxiliary material such as inter-crucible gap resistance material, box plate insulation material and side insulation material, and the lower part is auxiliary material such as furnace bottom resistance material, furnace bottom insulation material and furnace bottom carbon black.
[0114] Firstly, the flat laying vehicle 9 completes the auxiliary material flat laying work of the lower part of the Acheson graphitization furnace 15, and the one-time flat laying of different materials in several columns in a single layer can be simultaneously completed. After the first layer of crucibles is arranged, the tank loading vehicle 8 is used to lay the auxiliary material required for the gap between the first layer of crucibles and the surrounding space; after the second layer of crucibles is arranged, the tank loading vehicle 8 is used to lay the auxiliary material required for the gap between the second layer of crucibles and the surrounding space; and then the flat laying vehicle 9 is used to complete the auxiliary material flat laying work of the upper part of the furnace Acheson graphitization furnace 15.
[0115] The completed flat laying bin 9.6 in the auxiliary material turnover system 3 is transported to the hopper buffer position of the flat laying vehicle 9 by the travelling crane 1, and then the flat laying vehicle 9 automatically lays the material. After the material in the flat laying bin 9.6 is completely laid, the empty flat laying bin 9.6 is transported to the empty hopper position of the auxiliary material buffer area by the travelling crane 1, and a new full flat laying bin 9.6 is transported to the flat laying vehicle 9. In this way, the efficiency of the travelling crane 1 is ensured. The furnace head and tail insulation material needs to be filled manually due to space reasons.
[0116] In the above process, the work flow of the auxiliary material flat laying operation of the flat laying vehicle 9 is as follows:
[0117] 1) Loading.
[0118] The flat laying vehicle 9 is transported to the track 12 by the shuttle vehicle 13, and the flat laying bin 9.6 is transported from the buffer area to the flat laying bin roller 9.5 on the flat laying vehicle 9 by the travelling crane. The flat laying bin 9.6 runs to the working position through the flat laying bin roller 9.5, and the outlet of the flat laying bin 9.6 is manually connected to the flat laying fixed material pipe 9.31. The auxiliary material is laid by moving the flat laying vehicle 9 according to the laying rate.
[0119] 2) Laying.
[0120] The flat laying lifting mechanism 9.2 drives the flat laying lifting material pipe 9.32 of the flat laying material pipe assembly 9.3 to sink to the bottom of the crucible to start laying the material. The flat laying vehicle 9 moves forward while laying the material, and the scraper flattens the laid auxiliary material to control dust. At the same time, the compression roller 9.22 continuously rotates to compact the auxiliary material during the auxiliary material filling process. After filling one layer of the lower or upper part of the crucible, the flat laying vehicle 9 moves to the furnace head to start the next layer of the lower or upper part of the crucible, and lays the auxiliary material from back to front again.
[0121] 3) Bin replacement.
[0122] When the flat laying bin 9.6 at the working position is filled with auxiliary material, the bottom plug valve of the flat laying bin 9.6 is manually closed, and the flat laying material pipe assembly 9.3 is disconnected. The empty flat laying bin 9.6 is transported away by the travelling crane, and the flat laying bin 9.6 at the waiting position is transported to the working position by the flat laying bin roller 9.5 to continue the laying work.
[0123] 4) Furnace replacement.
[0124] After completing the laying and compacting of the auxiliary material on the bottom or top surface of all the crucibles in the furnace, the flat laying lifting mechanism 9.2 lifts the flat laying lifting material pipe 9.32 of the flat laying material pipe assembly 9.3 above the track 12, and then runs to the shuttle vehicle 13, which then transports it to other furnaces for flat laying work.
[0125] In the above process, the work flow of the auxiliary material tank filling operation of the tank filling vehicle 8 is as follows:
[0126] 1) Loading.
[0127] The ladle truck 8 is transported to the track 12 on the furnace by the shuttle 13, and the ladle bin 8.6 is transported from the buffer area to the ladle bin roller 8.5 on the ladle truck 8 by the crane. The ladle bin 8.6 is transported to the working position by the ladle bin roller 8.5, and the discharge port of the ladle bin 8.6 is manually connected with the ladle fixed material pipe 8.31. The ladle truck 8 is moved according to the gap between the crucibles and the peripheral space position to fill the auxiliary material.
[0128] 2), filling.
[0129] The ladle lifting mechanism 8.2 drives the ladle lifting material pipe 8.32 of the ladle material pipe assembly 8.3 to sink to the bottom of the crucible to start filling, and slowly raises the ladle lifting material pipe 8.32 of the ladle material pipe assembly 8.3 to control dust. After filling the gap between a row of crucibles, the ladle truck 8 moves to the next row to fill from bottom to top again.
[0130] 3), change bin.
[0131] When the ladle bin 8.6 at the working position is filled with auxiliary material, the bottom plug valve of the ladle bin 8.6 is manually closed, and the ladle material pipe assembly 8.3 is disconnected. The empty ladle bin 8.6 is transported away by the crane, and the ladle bin 8.6 at the waiting position is transported to the working position by the ladle bin roller 8.5 to continue the filling work.
[0132] 4), change furnace.
[0133] After filling the gap between all the crucibles and the peripheral space with auxiliary material, the ladle lifting mechanism 8.2 lifts the ladle lifting material pipe 8.32 of the ladle material pipe assembly 8.3 above the track 12, and then runs to the shuttle 13, and then is transported to other furnaces by the shuttle 13 for filling work.
[0134] Three, green crucible loading.
[0135] In the above steps, when the paving vehicle 9 completes the auxiliary material paving work at the lower part of the Acheson graphitization furnace 15, the green crucible loading furnace is started by the taking and placing vehicle 10. Each tray is loaded with 10 green crucibles, and the full tray is transported to the crucible roller 10.5 of the taking and placing vehicle 10 at the buffer position by the travelling crane 1, and the taking and placing vehicle 10 moves to the working position; the grabbing mechanism 10.3 moves to above the first column of crucibles under the driving of the taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2, after grabbing the crucibles, the tray retreats to the waiting station under the driving of the roller, the bottom supporting mechanism 10.6 moves to the bottom of the crucible to support the bottom of the crucible to prevent the crucible from falling; the taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 descends, and when the bottom of the crucible is 100 mm away from the auxiliary material layer, the bottom supporting plate 10.65 of the bottom supporting mechanism 10.6 is withdrawn; the taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 continues to descend until the crucible is placed on the paving layer, and then the grabbing mechanism 10.3 is released; the taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 rises back to the original position, and at the same time, the crucible trolley moves forward to the second column of crucible placement positions; the tray drives the second column of crucibles to the bottom of the grabbing mechanism 10.3 under the driving of the crucible roller 10.5, and the above crucible placement steps are repeated to complete the loading of two columns of crucibles after grabbing twice. The empty tray retreats to the waiting station of the crucible roller 10.5, and the empty tray is taken back to the buffer empty tray position by the travelling crane 1, and then the travelling crane 1 transports the new green crucible and tray to the taking and placing vehicle 10.
[0136] Four, power heating.
[0137] After the crucible and auxiliary material are filled, power heating can be performed according to the process requirements.
[0138] Five, auxiliary material discharging.
[0139] After graphitization is completed, the suction vehicle 11 is opened to the furnace to suck the heated high-temperature auxiliary material when the temperature in the furnace decreases to the suction temperature. The working process of the suction work is as follows:
[0140] 1) Suction.
[0141] Before suction, the auxiliary material at the air vent of the furnace top is first cleaned by the remote control grab bucket; the suction vehicle 11 moves to the suction furnace position by the transfer vehicle, adjusts the position of the suction head 11.22 up and down, starts to suck the material by swinging the suction head 11.22 and moving the suction vehicle 11 longitudinally, and sucks 100 mm thick material per layer. The height of the suction head 11.22 is adjusted to suck the material layer by layer, and the suction is stopped when the red material (more than 400 degrees Celsius) is sucked. The material needs to be cooled again to the suction temperature before the suction is performed again. Since the temperature of the auxiliary material is very high, the depth of the suction pipe 11.2 is adjusted according to the temperature of the sucked material each time to prevent high-temperature material from being sucked into the suction bin 11.3, affecting the quality of the equipment and the operating efficiency.
[0142] 2) Unloading.
[0143] When the suction bin 11.3 is full, stop suction, and the suction vehicle 11 moves to the unloading position at the end of the furnace. After the suction bin 11.3 is connected to the screw conveyor 4.1, unloading is performed. When the dust in the dust removal mechanism 11.4 is full, it can also be connected to the screw conveyor 4.1 for unloading. The material on the screw conveyor 4.1 enters the bucket elevator 4.2 through the unloading chute, and then is transported to the high-temperature bin 4.3 at a high place, and then enters the slag cooler 4.4. After the suction vehicle 11 is emptied, the suction vehicle 11 moves to the original suction position to continue suction.
[0144] After the auxiliary material enters the slag cooler 4.4 for cooling, it is transported to the screening machine 14 for screening. The screened auxiliary material is packaged according to specifications. Then it enters the vertical warehouse for storage and transfer.
[0145] 3) Transfer.
[0146] After the in-furnace insulation material and resistance material are sucked, the crucible unloading process will be performed. The crucible unloading will be completed by the grabbing crucible trolley. At this time, the suction vehicle 11 will move to other suction material furnace positions through the transfer vehicle 13 to continue the suction work.
[0147] Six, mature crucible unloading.
[0148] After the graphitization is completed, the suction vehicle 11 completes the suction of the auxiliary material on the upper part and both sides of the crucible, and then manually removes the auxiliary material adhered to the crucible. The suction vehicle 11 moves to other furnaces through the transfer vehicle 13 to perform suction, and the taking and placing vehicle 10 moves to the furnace head to start taking the crucible. The taking and placing vehicle 10 runs to the crucible unloading station and performs precise positioning. The taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 drives the five sets of grabbing mechanisms 10.3 to descend to the head of the crucible. The oil cylinder 10.32 drives the four-jaw mechanical hand 10.31 to grab the same column of five crucibles respectively. The taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 lifts the crucible to the bottom of the crucible to expose the auxiliary material layer. The bottom plate 10.65 of the bottom supporting mechanism 10.6 descends and moves horizontally to the bottom of the crucible to support the crucible to prevent it from falling. The taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 continues to rise to the crucible placement height. The tray runs to the crucible placement position under the drive of the crucible roller 10.5. The taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 descends, and the bottom supporting mechanism 10.6 returns to the original position. After the crucible is placed on the tray, the grabbing mechanism 10.3 is released, and the taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 rises. The tray retreats, and the taking and placing vehicle 10 moves forward. The taking and placing lifting mechanism 10.2 drives the grabbing mechanism 10.3 to descend to grab the second column of crucibles. After the tray is filled with two columns of crucibles, the crane 1 transports the tray filled with crucibles to the mature crucible storage area 51.
[0149] Seven, green powder filling and mature powder unloading.
[0150] The in-furnace matured crucible is hoisted by the travelling crane 1 to the tray and the matured crucible to the matured crucible storage area 51 for cooling, and the cooled matured crucible is transported to the matured crucible tray separating area 53 by a roller way or other means, the separation of the matured crucible and the tray is completed by the mechanical arm of the matured crucible tray separating area 53, and then the matured crucible is sent to the matured crucible roller way 54 by the mechanical arm, and the tray is sent to the tray circulation area 57; the matured crucible roller way 54 sends the matured crucible into the powder replacing system 6, the powder replacing system 6 takes out the matured powder in the crucible, and then fills the green powder into the crucible; the filled green crucible is transported to the green crucible tray area 56 by the green crucible roller way 55, the tray is taken out from the tray circulation area 57 by the mechanical arm of the green crucible tray area 56, then the green crucible is placed on the tray, and then the green crucible and the tray are sent to the green crucible storage area 52 by the mechanical arm, and wait for being loaded into the furnace.

The working process of the suction operation is as follows: 1) sucking material; The suction vehicle is transported to the track by the shuttle vehicle, moves to the position of the suction furnace to be sucked, and sucks the material into the suction bin through the suction pipe; 2) unloading; When the suction bin is full, stop sucking; the suction vehicle moves to the auxiliary material cooling system position, and the suction bin discharges the high-temperature auxiliary material into the auxiliary material cooling system for cooling; Five, mature crucible discharge; After the suction vehicle finishes sucking the auxiliary material, the suction vehicle moves to other furnace bodies to suck the material, the taking and placing vehicle runs to the crucible discharge position to start taking the crucible, the taking and placing lifting mechanism drives the grabbing mechanism to descend to the top of the crucible, and after the grabbing mechanism grabs the crucible, the taking and placing lifting mechanism lifts the crucible to the bottom of the crucible to expose the auxiliary material layer. The bottom supporting plate of the bottom supporting mechanism descends and moves horizontally to the bottom of the crucible to support the crucible. The taking and placing lifting mechanism continues to rise, and when the crucible reaches the placement height, the taking and placing lifting mechanism descends, and the bottom supporting mechanism returns to the original position. After the crucible is placed on the crucible roller, the grabbing mechanism is released, and the taking and placing lifting mechanism rises. The taking and placing vehicle moves forward, and the taking and placing lifting mechanism drives the grabbing mechanism to descend to grab the second row of crucibles; Six, green powder filling and mature powder discharge The driver hoists the used crucible to the crucible circulation system, the crucible circulation system sends the used crucible into the powder replacement system, the powder replacement system takes out the finished powder in the used crucible, and then loads the raw powder into the crucible.
