[0048] The working principle of the present application is as follows:

[0049] The lithium cobaltate powder is conveyed along the feeding pipe 3 to the inside of the filling barrel 2, and the storage container is placed on the top of the conveying frame 1 and below the discharging pipe 4. The sliding sleeve 12 is driven to move vertically downward by the lifting mechanism, thereby driving the feeding ring 10 to move vertically downward along the sliding joint between the inner ring 6 and the discharging pipe 4, and moving part of the spiral feeding groove 11 below the discharging pipe 4. The bottom end of the spiral feeding groove 11 and the feeding ring 10 are not connected, so that when the bottom end of the feeding ring 10 is located inside the discharging pipe 4, the lithium cobaltate powder cannot be discharged downward along the spiral feeding groove 11. The outer ring 5 and the inner ring 6 are driven to rotate in reverse by the reverse rotating mechanism, and the inner ring 6 drives the plurality of scraping frames 7 to rotate synchronously when rotating, and the inner wall of the filling barrel 2 is scraped by the sliding fit of the scraping frame 7 and the filling barrel 2, thereby reducing the adsorption and adhesion of the lithium cobaltate powder to the inner wall under the action of static adsorption. When the outer ring 5 and the inner ring 6 rotate in reverse, the first shear strip 8 and the second shear strip 9 rotate in reverse. The first shear strip 8 and the second shear strip 9 are perpendicular to each other and have opposite inclined directions, and the lithium cobaltate powder in the filling barrel 2 is sheared by the first shear strip 8 and the second shear strip 9 during reverse rotation, thereby crushing the agglomerated lithium cobaltate powder and effectively reducing the agglomeration of the lithium cobaltate powder. When the inner ring 6 rotates, the feeding ring 10 is driven to rotate synchronously by the synchronous rotating mechanism. Part of the spiral feeding groove 11 in the filling barrel 2 rotates synchronously, and the lithium cobaltate powder is conveyed along the spiral feeding groove 11, so that the lithium cobaltate powder moves along the spiral feeding groove 11 to the lower side of the discharging pipe 4. When the lithium cobaltate powder loses the limitation of the discharging pipe 4, it falls from the spiral feeding groove 11 and is filled into the storage container under the action of gravity. The feeding ring 10 is limited by the sliding sleeve 12 during rotation. The ejector pin 14 is located below the discharging pipe 4 and rotates synchronously with the feeding ring 10. The circular pin 15 on the ejector pin 14 is guided and limited by the guide groove 17 on the circular disc 16 during rotation. When the circular pin 15 is located inside the arc segment 1701 of the guide groove 17, one end of the ejector pin 14 is located inside the spiral feeding groove 11 and abuts against the inner wall of the spiral feeding groove 11, so that the spiral feeding groove 11 normally feeds. When the circular pin 15 moves from the arc segment 1701 to the protruding segment 1702, one end of the ejector pin 14 extends outward from the spiral feeding groove 11, and the lithium cobaltate powder in the spiral feeding groove 11 is ejected outward, so that the lithium cobaltate powder is normally discharged, and the lithium cobaltate powder is prevented from being adsorbed and adhered in the spiral feeding groove 11 when moving to the bottom of the spiral feeding groove 11, thereby effectively improving the conveying and filling efficiency of the lithium cobaltate powder.
