[0094] The fifth guide roller 73 and the sixth guide roller 74 are on the same horizontal plane; the scraper wiping mechanism 7 can also be equipped with other guide rollers according to actual needs.

[0095] In this embodiment, the scraper lifting drive 211 drives the scraper body 215 downward. The scraper body 215 can drive the second wiping belt 700 between the fifth guide roller 73 and the sixth guide roller 74 downward. The scraper moving drive 212 drives the scraper body 215 to move horizontally, so that the second wiping belt 700 can clean the scraper body 215, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the scraper body 215 and making the scraper body 215 reusable. In addition, the second take-up roller 72 can tighten the second wiping belt 700 released by the second unwind roller 71, facilitating the collection of the second wiping belt 700.

[0096] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the slurry testing equipment also includes a clamping mechanism 8; the clamping mechanism 8 includes a second lifting drive (not shown in the figure), a support plate 81, a clamping drive 82, a first flexible clamping plate 83, a second flexible clamping plate 84, a mounting frame 85, a first guide rod 86, a second guide rod 87, and a wiping seat 88 with a wiping groove 881;

[0097] The support plate 81 is installed at the output end of the second lifting drive component, and the clamping drive component 82 is installed on the support plate 81;

[0098] The mounting bracket 85 is mounted on the support plate 81, and the first guide rod 86 and the second guide rod 87 are rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 85 at intervals; the wiping seat 88 is mounted on the support plate 81, and the first guide rod 86 and the second guide rod 87 are respectively located on opposite sides of the wiping groove 881; the first guide rod 86 and the second guide rod 87 are used to guide the second wiping belt 700 between the fifth guide roller 73 and the sixth guide roller 74 to the wiping groove 881;

[0099] The first flexible clamping plate 83 and the second flexible clamping plate 84 are both installed at the output end of the clamping drive member 82; the clamping drive member 82 is used to drive the first flexible clamping plate 83 and the second flexible clamping plate 84 to clamp the scraper body 215 and the second wiping strip 700 located in the wiping groove 881.

[0100] Wherein, the end of the first flexible clamping plate 83 facing the second flexible clamping plate 84 is the first flexible part, and the end of the second flexible clamping plate 84 facing the first flexible clamping plate 83 is the second flexible part. Thus, when the first flexible clamping plate 83 and the second flexible clamping plate 84 clamp the scraper body 215 and the second wiping belt 700, the scraper body 215 can also move out of the wiping groove 881 and detach from the second wiping belt 700, and then the second wiping belt 700 can wipe the scraper body 215. The clamping drive component 82 includes, but is not limited to, a clamping cylinder, a clamping motor, etc. The clamping drive component 82 can drive the first flexible clamping plate 83 and the second flexible clamping plate 84 to merge or separate.

[0101] Specifically, the scraper moving drive 212 drives the scraper body 215 to move horizontally to the scraping position, and the scraper lifting drive 211 drives the scraper body 215 to move downward, so that the scraper body 215 scrapes the battery slurry in the liquid storage groove 241; the scraper moving drive 212 drives the scraper body 215 to move horizontally to the wiping position, and the second lifting drive drives the support plate 81 to move upward, so that the first guide rod 86 and the second guide rod 87 cause the second wiping between the fifth guide roller 73 and the sixth guide roller 74. The second wiping strip 700 is bent on both sides of the scraper body 215 and inserted into the wiping groove 881. The clamping drive 82 drives the first flexible clamp 83 and the second flexible clamp 84 to merge and press the second wiping strip 700 against the scraper body 215. The scraper moving drive 212 then drives the scraper body 215 to move. The scraper body 215 can also move out of the wiping groove 881 and detach from the second wiping strip 700, so that the second wiping strip 700 can wipe the scraper body 215.

[0102] In this embodiment, the design of the clamping mechanism 8 further enhances the cleanliness of the scraper body 215 after it has been wiped by the second wiping belt 700.
