Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a liquid preparation system, in particular to a high-efficiency transfer liquid preparation system. Background Art
[0002] In the production process of lithium batteries, liquid asphalt and graphite powder need to be mixed in a certain operation process. Before mixing, the liquid asphalt and graphite powder are transported to the discharge bin separately.
[0003] In actual production, a large amount of liquid asphalt and graphite powder mixture is required on the production line, so there are a large number of storage silos on the production line. If each storage silo is connected to a pipeline for transporting liquid asphalt, the pipeline of the entire production line will be too complicated and difficult to manage. Therefore, in order to simplify the pipeline of the entire production line, a feeding trolley is usually used to carry the feeding silo to transport liquid asphalt to each storage silo in turn.
[0004] When adding material to each storage bin, it is necessary to manually align and insert the feeding piece on the feeding bin into the liquid asphalt inlet on the discharge bin, which results in low work efficiency. In addition, because the viscosity of liquid asphalt is very high, the liquid asphalt is very easy to stick to the inner wall surface of the storage bin during the process of being transported to the storage bin, which not only blocks the liquid inlet of the storage bin, thereby affecting the filling efficiency of the liquid asphalt, but also the asphalt stuck on the storage tank is difficult to clean, thereby affecting the service life of the storage tank and increasing costs.

[0061] Operation process: When the liquid asphalt in the charging bin 3 is too little and needs to be replenished, the charging trolley 2 carries the charging bin 3 and moves along the track 1 to the liquid replenishment station. At this time, the connecting seat 16 on the charging bin 3 is located below the discharge port of the replenishment pipe 21;
[0062] The first driving mechanism 20 drives the first supporting member 22 to move downward, and the feeding tube 21 moves downward synchronously when the first supporting member 22 moves downward. When the third supporting member 26 on the feeding tube 21 abuts against the top of the first connecting member 17 above the connecting seat 16, the first driving mechanism 20 stops driving the first supporting member 22, and each second driving mechanism 24 drives the corresponding fixed claw 25 respectively, so that each fixed claw 25 rotates along the hinge between the fixed claw 25 and the second supporting member 23 until each fixed claw 25 has the third supporting member 26 attached to it. 6 and the first connecting member 17 are clamped together, the second driving mechanism 24 stops driving the fixed hook 25, and after each fixed hook 25 is fixed, the liquid asphalt is transported to the feeding bin 3 through the feeding pipe 21. After the feeding bin 3 is filled, each second driving mechanism 24 drives the corresponding fixed hook 25 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that each fixed hook 25 is detached from the third supporting member 26 and the first connecting member 17. After each fixed hook 25 is detached, the first driving mechanism 20 drives the first supporting member 22 and the feeding pipe 21 to move upward;
[0063] When the storage bin 4 needs to be added with materials, the adding trolley 2 travels along the track 1 to the side of the discharge bin to be added with materials. During the process of adjusting the position of the robotic arm 12, the first visual camera 40 takes photos to determine the specific position of the first liquid pipe 9 on the storage bin 4, and adjusts the robotic arm 12, so that the injection piece 11 on the robotic arm 12 can be quickly and accurately inserted into the first liquid pipe 9. After the insertion of the injection piece 11, liquid asphalt can be transported to the storage bin 4. The liquid asphalt enters the discharge bin after passing through the first liquid pipe 9, the transfer storage bin 7 and the liquid filling pipe 5. When the liquid asphalt is in the first liquid pipe 9, the transfer storage bin 7 and the liquid filling pipe 5, the pneumatic butterfly valve 6 and the pneumatic ball valve 8 will blow air to prevent the liquid asphalt from sticking to the wall. After the addition of materials to the discharge bin is completed, the injection piece 11 can be taken out from the first liquid pipe 9 by the robotic arm 12.
