[0061] Currently, among the anode materials of batteries, carbon materials are widely used. Among them, graphitized carbon materials have been widely commercially applied due to advantages such as long service life, stable structure, and low cost. A graphitization furnace is a device that can generate graphite materials, and the length of its service life is extremely important for the production and manufacturing of graphite and batteries.

[0062] During the production process of a continuous graphitization furnace kiln, the positive electrode is inserted from the feeding end of the material along the extension direction of the material channel into the core temperature area of the material channel in the furnace body, and the negative electrode is inserted into the material channel from the side of the furnace body. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are spaced apart. After power is applied, an electric field is generated in the material channel. When the material in the material channel passes through this electric field, Joule heat will be generated based on its own resistance, thus forming a high-temperature area. After passing through this high-temperature area, the material can be graphitized.

[0063] The upper end of the positive electrode of the graphitization furnace usually needs to extend outside the furnace body for electrical connection with the power supply. During the operation of the continuous graphitization furnace, the inside of the furnace is generally slightly negative pressure, and a small amount of air will enter the material channel from the insertion port of the positive electrode. Moreover, the temperature in the material channel is relatively high, making the positive electrode (usually a graphite electrode) at the insertion port easily oxidized, resulting in the corresponding part of the positive electrode at the insertion port gradually becoming smaller due to oxidation. When it reaches a certain degree, the lower end of the positive electrode may fall into the furnace, affecting the service life of the graphitization furnace.

[0064] In addition, during the production process of a continuous graphitization furnace, the bottom of the positive electrode is close to the core temperature zone in the material channel, and the material in the material channel always flows downward along the positive electrode. During the flow of the material, it will cause significant wear to the positive electrode and also reduce the service life of the positive electrode.

[0065] Based on this, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a graphitization furnace 100, which includes a furnace body 110, a first electrode 120, and a second electrode 130. Among them, a material channel 111 is provided in the furnace body 110, and the material channel 111 extends from the upper part to the lower part of the furnace body 110; the first electrode 120 is arranged along the extension direction of the material channel 111 and partially arranged in the material channel 111; the first electrode 120 includes a substrate 121 and a first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 provided on the surface of the substrate 121; the second electrode 130 has a polarity opposite to that of the first electrode 120; the second electrode 130 extends into the material channel 111 and is arranged at an interval from the first electrode 120.

[0066] In the graphitization furnace 100 of the present application, by providing the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 on the surface of the substrate 121, the wear resistance of the first electrode 120 can be effectively improved, and the wear caused to the substrate 121 when the material in the material channel 111 flows downward along the first electrode 120 can be reduced; at the same time, it can provide good conductivity to effectively heat the material to make it graphitized; and, the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 can effectively isolate the direct contact between oxygen and the substrate 121, and alleviate the oxidation of the part of the substrate 121 corresponding to the insertion port. Through the above-mentioned first wear-resistant conductive layer 122, the service life of the first electrode 120 can be effectively extended, thereby improving the service life of the graphitization furnace 100.

[0067] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first electrode 120 is a positive electrode, and the second electrode 130 is a negative electrode. Both the first electrode 120 and the second electrode 130 can use graphite electrodes. The graphitization furnace 100 further includes a power supply 140, and the first electrode 120 and the second electrode 130 are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the power supply 140. If the graphitization furnace 100 is arranged vertically, that is, the material channel 111 is vertically arranged, and the material flows downward along the material channel 111 under the action of gravity, which is consistent with the natural flow law of the object, then the first electrode 120 extends in the vertical direction. If the graphitization furnace 100 is arranged horizontally, that is, the material channel is horizontally arranged, and the material flows along the material channel 111 in the horizontal direction, then the first electrode 120 extends in the horizontal direction. Figure 1 In the middle is a vertical graphitization furnace 100, and the extension direction of the material channel 111 in the graphitization furnace 100 is the vertical direction.

[0068] Understandably, the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 refers to a coating with good wear resistance and good electrical conductivity at the same time.

[0069] In some of these embodiments, the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 includes a first binder, a first conductive agent, and a first wear-resistant filler.

The first wear-resistant filler includes one or more of poly-L-glutamic acid graphene composite, boron carbide powder, silicon carbide powder, metal powder, and alumina powder.

[0070] By using the above-mentioned first binder, first conductive agent, and first wear-resistant filler to form the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122, the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 can have good wear resistance and electrical conductivity, with a small friction coefficient and good surface slidability. By providing the above-mentioned first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 on the surface of the substrate 121, it is beneficial to enable the first electrode 120 and the graphitization furnace 100 to have a long service life.

[0071] In some of these embodiments, the mass ratio of the first binder, the first conductive agent, and the first wear-resistant filler in the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 1 to 3: 5 to 7: 2 to 4. Controlling the components within the above ranges is beneficial to enable the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 to have good wear resistance and electrical conductivity, with a low friction coefficient and good surface slidability; it is beneficial to extend the service life of the first electrode 120 and the graphitization furnace 100.

[0072] In some of these embodiments, the thickness of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 30μm to 200μm. Controlling the thickness of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 within the above range is beneficial to improving the wear resistance of the first electrode 120, delaying the oxidation and wear of the first electrode 120, and thus extending the service life of the first electrode 120.

[0074] In some of these embodiments, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 10×10 -6 / ℃ to 100×10 -6 / ℃. Thus, the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 has a small coefficient of thermal expansion, and it is not prone to cracking and failure under the condition of a relatively high temperature in the material channel 111.

[0075] Understandably, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 can be 10×10 -6 / ℃, 20×10 -6 / ℃, 30×10 -6 / ℃, 40×10 -6 / ℃, 50×10 -6 / ℃, 60×10 -6 / ℃, 70×10 -6 / ℃, 80×10 -6 / ℃, 90×10 -6 / ℃, 100×10 -6 / ℃ and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0076] In some embodiments, the number of grinding rotations of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 under the conditions of 23±2℃ and a relative humidity of 50±5% is 9000 to 11000 rotations. Thus, the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 has good wear resistance, can effectively improve the ability of the first electrode 120 to resist material erosion, and extend the service life of the first electrode 120.

[0077] In some embodiments, the friction coefficient of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 0.2 to 0.4. Thus, the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 has a small friction coefficient and good slipperiness on its surface, which is beneficial to further reducing the wear of the substrate 121 during the material flow in the material channel 111, thereby being beneficial to extending the service life of the first electrode 120.

[0078] It can be understood that the friction coefficient of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 can be 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.27, 0.28, 0.29, 0.3, 0.31, 0.32, 0.33, 0.34, 0.35, 0.36, 0.37, 0.38, 0.39, 0.4 and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0079] In some embodiments, the conductivity of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 50 μS / cm to 1000 mS / cm. Thus, the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 has a suitable conductivity, can effectively form conduction between the contact part of the substrate 121 and the power supply 140, and is beneficial to introducing current into the material to heat the material.

[0080] It is understandable that the conductivity of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 can be 50 μS / cm, 100 μS / cm, 500 μS / cm, 1 mS / cm, 10 mS / cm, 100 mS / cm, 300 mS / cm, 500 mS / cm, 800 mS / cm, 1000 mS / cm, and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first electrode 120 further includes a second wear-resistant conductive layer 123, and the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 is disposed between the substrate 121 and the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122. By providing the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 inside the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122, a double-layer coating structure is formed, which is beneficial to further improving the wear resistance and oxidation resistance of the first electrode 120, and further extending the service life of the first electrode 120 and the service life of the graphitization furnace 100.

[0082] It is understandable that the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 refers to a coating with good wear resistance and good electrical conductivity.

[0083] In some embodiments, the material of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 includes a second binder, a second conductive agent, and a second wear-resistant filler. Among them, the second binder includes one or more of phenolic resin, epoxy resin, bismaleimide resin, vinyl resin, and cyanate resin; the second conductive agent includes one or more of carbon materials, metal materials, and conductive polymers; among them, the carbon materials include one or more of graphene, graphene oxide, carbon fiber, and carbon nanotube; the metal materials include one or more of silver powder, copper powder, silver fiber, and copper fiber. The second wear-resistant filler includes one or more of poly-L-glutamic acid graphene composite, boron carbide powder, silicon carbide powder, metal powder, and alumina powder. Thus, by using the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 composed of the above-mentioned second binder, second conductive agent, and second wear-resistant filler and combining it with the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122, the service life of the first electrode 120 can be effectively extended.

[0084] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of the second binder, the second conductive agent, and the second wear-resistant filler in the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 is 2-4:4-8:1-2. Thus, it is beneficial to make the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 have good wear resistance and good electrical conductivity.

[0085] In some of these embodiments, the thickness ratio of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 to the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 1:1 to 8.7. In this way, making the thickness of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 equal to or greater than the thickness of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 is beneficial for the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 to have better wear resistance, for the first electrode 120 to better maintain its double-layer coating structure during use, and for extending the service life of the first electrode 120.

[0086] Understandably, the thickness ratio of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 to the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 can be 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:8.7, and any ratio within the range formed by any two of the above ratios.

[0087] Optionally, the thickness ratio of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 to the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 1:1 to 4.3.

[0088] In some of these embodiments, the thickness of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 is 20 μm to 40 μm. In this way, combined with the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 with a thickness of 30 μm to 200 μm, it is beneficial for extending the service life of the first electrode 120. Understandably, the thickness of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 can be 20 μm, 21 μm, 22 μm, 23 μm, 24 μm, 25 μm, 26 μm, 27 μm, 28 μm, 29 μm, 30 μm, 31 μm, 32 μm, 33 μm, 34 μm, 35 μm, 36 μm, 37 μm, 38 μm, 39 μm, 40 μm, and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0089] In some of these embodiments, the thermal expansion coefficient ratio of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 to the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 1:1 to 1.5. In this way, making the thermal expansion coefficients of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 and the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 close can enable the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 and the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 to better match, which is more beneficial for alleviating the cracking of the coating in an environment with a relatively high temperature in the material channel 111, and is beneficial for extending the service life of the first electrode 120. Setting the thermal expansion coefficient of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 to be equal to that of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123, or slightly larger than the thermal expansion coefficient of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123, can better balance the internal expansion and facilitate the release of the internal expansion force.

[0090] It can be understood that the thermal expansion coefficient ratio of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 to the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 can be 1:1, 1:1.1, 1:1.2, 1:1.3, 1:1.4, 1:1.5, and any ratio within the range formed by any two of the above ratios.

[0091] Optionally, the ratio of the coefficient of thermal expansion of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 to that of the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is 1:1 to 1.2. In this way, the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 and the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 can be better matched, and at the same time, it is beneficial to the release of internal expansion force and alleviates the situation of coating cracking.

[0092] In some embodiments, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 is 5×10 -6 / °C to 30×10 -6 / °C. In this way, the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 has a suitable coefficient of thermal expansion. When combined with the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 with a specific coefficient of thermal expansion, the first electrode 120 can have a longer service life.

[0093] It can be understood that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 can be 5×10 -6 / °C, 8×10 -6 / °C, 10×10 -6 / °C, 12×10 -6 / °C, 15×10 -6 / °C, 18×10 -6 / °C, 20×10 -6 / °C, 22×10 -6 / °C, 25×10 -6 / °C, 28×10 -6 / °C, 30×10 -6 / °C and any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0094] In some embodiments, the number of grinding rotations of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 at 23±2°C and a relative humidity of 50±5% is 6000 to 8000 rotations. In this way, the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 has good wear resistance, which is beneficial to resisting the erosion of the material on the substrate 121 and is beneficial to improving the service life of the first electrode 120.

[0095] In some embodiments, the friction coefficient of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 is 0.3 to 0.6. In this way, the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 has a small friction coefficient. After the first wear-resistant conductive layer 122 is worn, the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 can still keep the surface of the first electrode 120 in good sliding property, which is beneficial to reducing the wear of the material on the first electrode 120.

[0096] It can be understood that the friction coefficient of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 can be 0.3, 0.32, 0.35, 0.38, 0.4, 0.42, 0.45, 0.48, 0.5, 0.52, 0.55, 0.58, 0.6, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0097] In some embodiments, the conductivity of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 is 10 μS / cm to 500 mS / cm. In this way, the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 has a high conductivity, which can effectively form a conduction between the contact part of the first electrode 120 and the power supply 140, facilitating the introduction of current into the material for heating the material. It can be understood that the conductivity of the second wear-resistant conductive layer 123 can be 10 μS / cm, 50 μS / cm, 100 μS / cm, 200 μS / cm, 500 μS / cm, 800 μS / cm, 1 mS / cm, 100 mS / cm, 200 mS / cm, 300 mS / cm, 400 mS / cm, 500 mS / cm, or any value within the range formed by any two of the above values.

[0098] As Figure 1 shown, in some embodiments, the second electrode 130 extends radially along the material channel 111; the number of the second electrodes 130 is multiple, and the multiple second electrodes 130 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the material channel 111. In this way, it is beneficial to make the electric field distribution in the cross-section of the material channel 111 more uniform, and beneficial to improving the uniformity of material graphitization.

[0099] Optionally, the second electrode 130 can be arranged at the middle and lower part of the furnace body 110, and the first electrode 120 and the second electrode 130 are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0100] In some embodiments, the graphitization furnace 100 further includes a feeding unit, and the feeding unit includes a feed bin 151 and a feed pipe 152. The feed bin 151 is arranged above the furnace body 110, and the feed bin 151 is communicated with the material channel 111 in the furnace body 110 through the feed pipe 152, and is used to feed the material to be graphitized into the material channel 111. Optionally, a material cut-off valve 153 can also be arranged at the connection of the feed bin 151 and the feed pipe 152 to control the flow of the material in the material channel 111.

[0101] In some of these embodiments, the graphitization furnace 100 further includes an exhaust gas treatment unit 160, and the exhaust gas treatment unit 160 is communicated with the upper part of the material channel 111. The material entering the graphitization furnace 100 is a graphitizable carbonaceous material, such as petroleum coke, coal coke, and asphalt, etc. After the material enters the material channel 111 of the graphitization furnace 100 from the feeding unit, it is graphitized in the material channel 111 to obtain the negative electrode graphite material product. The volatile exhaust gas escaping during the graphitization of the material is collected in the upper part of the material channel 111 and then enters the exhaust gas treatment unit 160 for exhaust gas treatment.

[0102] In some of these embodiments, the graphitization furnace 100 further includes a cooling and discharging unit 170. The cooling and discharging unit 170 is arranged below the furnace body 110 and is communicated with the bottom of the material channel 111, and is mainly used for cooling the graphitized material and discharging the material at the same time. Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the cooling and discharging unit 170 is provided with a water-cooled jacket, and the cooling medium can be circulating water. The graphitized material can be fully cooled through the cooling and discharging unit 170, and the cooled material can be discharged through a discharging system (not shown in the figure), and the discharging system can be a discharging screw.

[0103] An embodiment of the present application provides a battery production device (not shown in the figure). The battery production device includes the graphitization furnace 100 described above in the present application, and the graphitization furnace 100 is used for producing the negative electrode graphite material of the battery. By adopting the graphitization furnace 100 described above in the present application, the battery production device of the present application has a relatively high service life.

[0104] It can be understood that in addition to including the graphitization furnace 100 to produce the negative electrode graphite material of the battery, the battery production device may further include related devices for producing other materials of the battery.

[0105] The battery production device can be a battery production line. Multiple devices in the battery production line can be arranged in the same centralized place, or can also be arranged in separate different places.

[0106] It should be noted that in the above-mentioned various embodiments of the present application, only some structures in the graphitization furnace 100 are listed. In addition to the structures involved in the above-mentioned embodiments, the graphitization furnace 100 in the present application may further include other system structures of the graphitization furnace in the related art, for example, the electrical system of the electrode, the clamping system of the electrode, etc. The related technical solutions of each system can refer to the specific descriptions in the related art, and will not be specifically described herein.

[0107] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following will further elaborate on this application in combination with embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all of them. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way limits this application and its application.

[0117] It can be understood that under the condition of producing the same amount of graphite, if the extension length of the first electrode into the material channel is shorter, the longer the first electrode can be used, indicating that the service life of the first electrode is longer; on the contrary, if the extension length of the first electrode into the material channel is longer, the shorter the first electrode can be used, indicating that the service life of the first electrode is shorter.
