The container body 122 is provided with a receiving space 1221 for storing the second powder and a conical outlet 1222 communicating with the receiving space 1221.

The first support base 22 is rotatably mounted on the first support frame 21, and the opposite ends of the first elastic element 111 are respectively connected to the first support base 22 and the first support frame 21. The powder storage bottle 11 is mounted on the first support base 22. The bottle opening assembly 24 includes a first driving element 241 mounted on the first support frame 21 and a first push block 242 mounted on the output end of the first driving element 241. The bottle pushing assembly 25 includes a second driving element 251 mounted on the first support frame 21 and a first push rod 252 mounted on the output end of the second driving element 251. The first driving element 241 is used to drive the first push block 242 to move the slide cylinder 112 to open the discharge through hole 1132. The second driving element 251 is used to drive the first push rod 252 to push the reciprocating powder storage bottle 11. The powder storage bottle 11 is used to convey the first powder to the liquid storage container 13. like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the secondary powder dispensing mechanism 3 includes a second rotary drive 31, a second support frame 32, a second lifting drive 33, and an actuator 34. The second support frame 32 is installed at the output end of the second rotary drive 31, and multiple powder storage containers 12 are circumferentially spaced on the second support frame 32. The actuator 34 is installed at the output end of the second lifting drive 33. The second rotary drive 31 is used to drive the powder storage container 12 to dock with the actuator 34 through the second support frame 32. The second lifting drive 33 drives the blocking rod 121 to move through the actuator 34. The blocking rod 121 opens the conical outlet hole 1222, and the powder storage container 12 conveys the second powder to the liquid storage container 13. The liquid dispensing mechanism 4 is used to inject battery liquid into the liquid storage container 13.

[0012] The first elastic element 111 includes, but is not limited to, a spring; the outer diameter of the conical plug 114 gradually increases from the end near the powder storage space 1131 to the end away from the powder storage space 1131; the elastic force of the first elastic element 111 can drive the slide cylinder 112 to slide to abut against the conical plug 114, at which point the conical plug 114 is in a state of blocking the discharge through hole 1132; when the slide cylinder 112 slides away from the conical plug 114, the conical plug 114 is in a state of opening the discharge through hole 1132.

[0013] One end of the plug rod 121 is located outside the container body 122, and the other end of the plug rod 121 passes through the receiving space 1221 and extends into the conical outlet hole 1222; the inner diameter of the conical outlet hole 1222 gradually decreases from the end closer to the receiving space 1221 to the end farther away from the receiving space 1221.

[0014] The second elastic element 23 includes, but is not limited to, springs, etc., and is used to drive the first support seat 22 to reset; the first driving element 241 and the second driving element 251 include, but are not limited to, pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, linear motors, etc.

[0015] The second rotary drive component 31 includes, but is not limited to, a motor, etc. The second rotary drive component 31 can drive different powder storage containers 12 to be located directly below the actuator 34 through the second support frame 32; the second lifting drive component 33 includes, but is not limited to, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, and a linear motor, etc. Further, the end of the actuator 34 away from the second lifting drive component 33 is provided with a damping hole. The actuator 34 is connected to the blocking rod 121 through the damping hole and can drive the blocking rod 121 to move up and down to achieve the function of blocking or opening the conical outlet hole 1222.

[0016] Specifically, the powder storage bottle 11 is installed on the first support base 22, and the slide cylinder 112 is located below the first support base 22; the first driving member 241 drives the first push block 242 to move upward, and the first push block 242 drives the slide cylinder 112 to move upward, so that the discharge through hole 1132 is in a conductive state, and the first powder in the powder storage space 1131 can fall into the liquid storage container 13 below through the discharge through hole 1132; the first driving member 241 drives the first push block 242 to move downward, and the rebound force of the first elastic member 111 drives the slide cylinder 112 to move downward, so that the discharge through hole 1132 is in a blocked state. In addition, when the discharge through hole 1132 is in the open state, the second driving member 251 drives the first push rod 252 to reciprocate and push the powder storage bottle 11. The first support seat 22 rotates on the first support frame 21. The second elastic member 23 will drive the first support seat 22 to rotate to the reset state. The first support seat 22 will drive the powder storage bottle 11 to swing back and forth. The powder storage bottle 11 swings back and forth and outputs the first powder to the liquid storage container 13, and ensures the smoothness of the first powder being delivered from the powder storage bottle 11 to the liquid storage container 13.

[0017] The liquid storage container 13 containing the first powder is transferred to the secondary powder dispensing station; the second rotary drive 31 drives one of the powder storage containers 12 to rotate directly below the actuator 34, and the second lifting drive 33 drives the actuator 34 to move the blocking rod 121 downward, and the blocking rod 121 opens the conical outlet hole 1222, so that the second powder in the powder storage container 12 will fall into the liquid storage container 13 through the conical outlet hole 1222; the second lifting drive 33 drives the actuator 34 to move the blocking rod 121 upward, and the blocking rod 121 blocks the conical outlet hole 1222.

[0018] The liquid storage container 13 containing the first powder and the second powder is transferred to the liquid dispensing station. The liquid dispensing mechanism 4 injects battery liquid into the liquid storage container 13, so that the liquid storage container 13 contains the first powder, the second powder and the battery liquid. The first powder, the second powder and the battery liquid can be mixed to form a battery slurry.

[0019] In this invention, the primary powder dispensing mechanism 2 can accurately deliver the first powder in the powder storage bottle 11 to the liquid storage container 13, the secondary powder dispensing mechanism 3 can accurately deliver the second powder in the powder storage container 12 to the liquid storage container 13, and the liquid injection mechanism can accurately inject battery liquid into the liquid storage container 13. This automatic slurry preparation equipment can prepare high-precision and high-quality battery slurry, and the automatic slurry preparation equipment has a high degree of automation and high efficiency.

[0020] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the outer wall of the bottle body 113 is provided with an annular groove 1133; the primary powder dispensing mechanism 2 also includes a first bottle locking drive 26 and a first locking plate 27 slidably mounted on the first support base 22. The first bottle locking drive 26 is mounted on the first support frame 21, and the output end of the first bottle locking drive 26 is connected to the first locking plate 27; the first bottle locking drive 26 is used to drive the first locking plate 27 to insert into or move away from the annular groove 1133, so that the first locking plate 27 locks or unlocks the powder storage bottle 11.

[0021] The first bottle-locking drive component 26 includes, but is not limited to, a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a linear motor, etc.; the first locking plate 27 may be provided with an annular locking part adapted to the annular groove 1133. The first bottle-locking drive component 26 drives the first locking plate 27 to slide. When the first locking plate 27 is inserted into the annular groove 1133, the first locking plate 27 locks the powder storage bottle 11 on the support seat; when the first locking plate 27 moves away from the annular groove 1133, the first locking plate 27 releases the locking state of the powder storage bottle 11.

[0022] Specifically, the powder storage bottle 11 is placed on the first support base 22, and the first bottle locking drive 26 drives the first locking plate 27 to move until the first locking plate 27 is inserted into the annular groove 1133. Thus, the first locking plate 27 can lock the powder storage bottle 11 on the first support base 22, ensuring the stability of the powder storage bottle 11 installed on the first support base 22. The first bottle locking drive 26 drives the first locking plate 27 to move until the first locking plate 27 exits the annular groove 1133. Thus, the first locking plate 27 releases the locking state of the powder storage bottle 11, and the staff can remove the powder storage bottle 11 from the first support base 22.

[0023] In this embodiment, the disassembly and assembly of the powder storage bottle 11 and the first support base 22 are convenient.

[0024] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the second support frame 32 includes a third elastic member 321, a second frame 322, and a plurality of locking components 323 rotatably mounted on the second frame 322 at circumferential intervals; the opposite ends of the third elastic member 321 are respectively connected to the second frame 322 and the locking components 323; the second frame 322 is mounted on the output end of the second rotary drive member 31, and the locking components 323 are used to lock the powder storage container 12; The secondary powder dispensing mechanism 3 also includes a second motor 35, a turntable 36, a second rocker arm 37, and a second push rod 38. The turntable 36 is mounted on the output shaft of the second motor 35. One end of the second rocker arm 37 is eccentrically mounted on the turntable 36, and the other end of the second rocker arm 37 is rotatably connected to the second push rod 38. The end of the second push rod 38 away from the second rocker arm 37 is used to reciprocate to push the powder storage container 12.

[0025] The third elastic element 321 includes, but is not limited to, springs; the locking component 323 includes a first semi-annular locking plate mounted on the second frame 322 and a second semi-annular locking plate rotatably mounted on the first semi-annular locking plate, the first semi-annular locking plate and the second semi-annular locking plate being used to lock the powder storage container 12.

[0026] Specifically, when the actuator 34 moves the blocking rod 121 downward to open the conical outlet 1222, the second motor 35 drives the turntable 36 to rotate. The turntable 36 drives the second push rod 38 to reciprocate through the second rocker arm 37, and the third elastic element 321 drives the locking component 323 and the powder storage container 12 to reset. Thus, the powder storage container 12 conveys the second powder to the liquid storage container 13 under continuous shaking, ensuring the smoothness of the second powder conveyed from the powder storage container 12 to the liquid storage container 13.

[0027] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 As shown, the automatic pulping equipment also includes a shaking mechanism 5; the shaking mechanism 5 includes a shaking motor (not shown in the figure), a first gear 51, a transmission assembly 52 and a storage frame 53, the storage frame 53 is used to store a liquid storage container 13 containing the first powder, the second powder and the battery liquid; the first gear 51 is mounted on the output shaft of the shaking motor; The transmission assembly 52 includes a second gear 521, a first bevel gear 522, a second bevel gear 523, a first shaft 524, a second shaft 525, and a shaking support block 526. The second shaft 525 is rotatably mounted on the shaking support block 526. The storage frame 53 and the second bevel gear 523 are both mounted on the second shaft 525, and the second gear 521 and the first bevel gear 522 are both mounted on the first shaft 524. The first gear 51 meshes with the second gear 521, and the first bevel gear 522 meshes with the second bevel gear 523. The included angle between the first shaft 524 and the second shaft 525 is an acute angle. The shaking mechanism 5 is used to shake the first powder, the second powder, and the battery liquid in the storage container 13 to prepare the battery slurry.

[0028] The second shaft 525 can be rotatably mounted on the shaking support block 526 via bearings, and the storage frame 53 and the second bevel gear 523 are located on opposite sides of the shaking support block 526 respectively; the output shaft of the shaking motor is parallel to the first shaft 524.

[0029] Specifically, the shaking motor drives the first gear 51 to rotate. The first gear 51 drives the first shaft 524 and the first bevel gear 522 to rotate via the second gear 521. The first bevel gear 522 drives the second shaft 525 and the storage frame 53 to rotate via the second bevel gear 523. Since the liquid storage container 13, which stores the first powder, the second powder, and the battery liquid, is placed inside the storage frame 53, the shaking mechanism 5 can drive the liquid storage container 13 to rotate, thereby achieving the function of shaking the battery slurry inside the liquid storage container 13. In addition, the included angle between the first shaft 524 and the second shaft 525 is an acute angle, so the storage frame 53 is tilted, and the liquid storage container 13 placed in the storage frame 53 is also tilted. Therefore, the shaking mechanism 5 can drive the tilted liquid storage container 13 to rotate, and the slurry inside the liquid storage container 13 shakes significantly. The shaking mechanism 5 can fully shake the battery slurry inside the liquid storage container 13.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, the automatic pulping equipment also includes a feeding mechanism 6; the feeding mechanism 6 includes a feeding rotary drive (not shown in the figure), a support column 61, a first disc 62, a second disc 63 and a third disc 64; the support column 61 is installed at the output end of the feeding rotary drive, and the first disc 62, the second disc 63 and the third disc 64 are installed on the support column 61 at intervals. The first disc body 62 is provided with a plurality of first clamping components 621 distributed circumferentially, and the first clamping components 621 are used to clamp the powder storage bottle 11 containing the first powder. The second disc body 63 is provided with a plurality of second clamping components 631 distributed circumferentially, the second clamping components 631 being used to clamp empty powder storage bottles 11; The third disc 64 is provided with a plurality of third clamping components 641 distributed circumferentially, and the third clamping components 641 are used to clamp the liquid storage container 13.

[0031] The feeding rotation drive includes, but is not limited to, a motor; all first clamping components 621 are arranged circumferentially around the support column 61 at intervals, all second clamping components 631 are arranged circumferentially around the support column 61 at intervals, and all third clamping components 641 are arranged circumferentially around the support column 61 at intervals.

[0032] Specifically, a robotic arm can transfer the powder storage bottle 11 of the first clamping component 621 to the first support base 22 of the primary powder dispensing mechanism 2, the robotic arm can transfer the powder storage bottle 11 on the first support base 22 to the second clamping component 631, and the robotic arm can transfer the liquid storage container 13 on the third clamping component 641 to the primary powder dispensing station of the primary powder dispensing mechanism 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the feeding rotation drive can drive the first disc 62, the second disc 63 and the third disc 64 to rotate through the support column 61, thereby facilitating the docking of the robot arm with the feeding mechanism 6; and the feeding mechanism 6 has a compact structure and occupies little space.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 13 As shown, the automatic pulping equipment also includes a sedimentation detection mechanism 7, which includes a first sedimentation drive component 71, a second sedimentation drive component 72, a third sedimentation drive component 73, a sedimentation support base 74, a sedimentation support frame 75, a sedimentation support shaft 76, a sedimentation support block 77, a camera component 78, and a sedimentation storage tank 79.

The first settling drive 71 is used to drive the settling support shaft 76, the settling support block 77 and the settling storage cylinder 79 to rotate around the first direction. The second settling drive component 72 is mounted on the settling support shaft 76. The output end of the second settling drive component 72 is connected to the settling support frame 75.

[0035] Among them, the first settling drive component 71, the second settling drive component 72 and the third settling drive component 73 are including, but not limited to, pneumatic cylinders, hydraulic cylinders, linear motors, etc.

[0036] Specifically, the first settling drive 71 drives the settling reservoir 79 to rotate to an inclined state via the settling support shaft 76. The battery slurry in the storage space 791 is also in an inclined state, and part of the bottom wall of the settling reservoir 79 is not covered by the battery slurry. The second settling drive 72 drives the settling support frame 75 to rotate until the camera 78 is facing the bottom wall of the settling reservoir 79 that is not covered by the battery slurry. The camera 78 photographs the bottom wall of the settling reservoir 79 that is not covered by the battery slurry, and judges the settling degree of the battery slurry from the amount of particles and sediment on the exposed bottom wall of the settling reservoir 79. The third settling drive 73 drives the settling reservoir 79 to rotate successively by a preset angle, so that the bottom wall of different parts of the settling reservoir 79 is exposed. The camera 78 photographs the different exposed parts of the settling reservoir 79, and comprehensively detects the settling degree of the battery slurry.

[0038] Among them, the test plate moving drive component 84 includes, but is not limited to, pneumatic cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, lead screw and nut assembly, belt assembly, etc.; the transfer robotic arm 821 can drive the dropper 822 to draw battery slurry from the liquid storage container 13 or the external liquid storage bottle, and drop the battery slurry into the liquid storage groove 851 of the test plate 85.

[0039] Specifically, after the sedimentation detection mechanism 7 completes the sedimentation degree detection of the battery slurry, the transfer robotic arm 821 drives the dropper 822 to pick up the battery slurry after the sedimentation degree detection and drip it into the liquid storage groove 851 of the test plate 85. The test plate moving drive 84 drives the test plate 85 to move. The scraper assembly 81 and the test plate 85 move relative to each other. The scraper assembly 81 can scrape the battery slurry in the liquid storage groove 851 flat. The camera 83 takes pictures of the battery slurry in the liquid storage groove 851.

The scraper wiping mechanism 9 can also be equipped with other guide rollers according to actual needs.

[0043] Specifically, after the scraper moving drive 812 moves the scraper body 814 to the scraping position, the scraper lifting drive 811 drives the scraper body 814 to move downwards, and the test plate moving drive 84 moves the test plate 85. The scraper body 814 can then scrape the battery slurry in the liquid storage groove 851. After the scraper moving drive 812 moves the scraper body 814 to the wiping position, the scraper lifting drive 811 drives the scraper body 814 to move downwards. The scraper body 814 can then drive the scraper wiping belt 900 between the first guide roller 93 and the second guide roller 94 to move downwards. The scraper moving drive 812 drives the scraper body 814 to move horizontally, so that the scraper wiping belt 900 can clean the scraper body 814, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the scraper body 814 and allowing the scraper body 814 to be reused. In addition, the first take-up roller 92 can tighten the scraper wiping belt 900 released by the first unwind roller 91, making it easier to collect the scraper wiping belt 900.

The first flexible clamping plate 103 and the second flexible clamping plate 104 are both installed at the output end of the clamping drive member 102; the clamping drive member 102 is used to drive the first flexible clamping plate 103 and the second flexible clamping plate 104 to clamp the scraper body 814 and the scraper wiping strip 900 located in the wiping groove 1081.

[0045] The first flexible clamping plate 103 has a first flexible part at one end facing the second flexible clamping plate 104, and the second flexible clamping plate 104 has a second flexible part at one end facing the first flexible clamping plate 103. When the first flexible clamping plate 103 and the second flexible clamping plate 104 clamp the scraper body 814 and the scraper wiping belt 900, the scraper body 814 can also move out of the wiping groove 1081 and separate from the scraper wiping belt 900, so that the scraper wiping belt 900 can wipe the scraper body 814. The clamping drive 102 includes, but is not limited to, clamping cylinders, clamping motors, etc. The clamping drive 102 can drive the first flexible clamping plate 103 and the second flexible clamping plate 104 to merge or separate.

[0046] Specifically, the scraper moving drive 812 drives the scraper body 814 to move to the wiping position, the clamping lifting drive drives the clamping support plate 101 to move upward, the first guide rod 106 and the second guide rod 107 cause the scraper wiping strip 900 between the first guide roller 93 and the second guide roller 94 to bend on opposite sides of the scraper body 814, and the scraper body 814 is inserted into the wiping groove 1081; the clamping drive 102 drives the first flexible clamping plate 103 and the second flexible clamping plate 104 to merge, and press the scraper wiping strip 900 against the scraper body 814; the scraper moving drive 812 then drives the scraper body 814 to move, the scraper body 814 can move out of the wiping groove 1081 and detach from the scraper wiping strip 900, and then the scraper wiping strip 900 can wipe the scraper body 814.

[0047] In this embodiment, the design of the clamping mechanism 10 further enhances the cleanliness of the scraper body 814 after it has been wiped by the scraper wiping belt 900.
