[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a hard carbon negative electrode material coating device comprises

[0031] A coating kettle 1, the coating kettle 1 comprising a kettle body 11, a feed port 12 and a discharge port 13 arranged on the kettle body 11, and a heating mechanism 14 arranged on the inner wall of the kettle body 11;

[0032] A stirring mechanism 2, the stirring mechanism 2 comprising a stirring unit 21 rotatably mounted inside the kettle body 11 and a power unit 22 driving the stirring unit 21; and

[0033] The screening mechanism 3 includes a screen a31 arranged above the stirring unit 21, a screen b32 stacked on the screen a31 and rotatably arranged, a flattening mechanism 33 which is power-connected to the stirring unit 21 and intermittently drives the screen b32 to rotate, and a limiting unit 34 which drives the screen b32 to reset. The flattening mechanism 33 can flatten the material on the screen b32, and the sieve holes on the screen a31 and the screen b32 can be aligned and staggered.

[0034] It should be noted that the screen a31 is fixed, the screen b32 is closely attached to the screen a31, and the screen b32 is rotatable.

[0035] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the stirring unit 21 includes a vertically arranged rotating shaft 211 and a propeller blade 212 spirally arranged below the rotating shaft 211 .

[0036] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the inner diameter of the kettle body 11 is α, and the outer diameter of the propeller blade 212 is β, so α:β=4:3.

[0037] It should be noted that the propeller blades 212 transport the asphalt downward, and the asphalt around them moves upward, thereby improving the fluidity of the asphalt.

[0038] Furthermore, the power unit 22 includes a mounting frame 221 mounted on the kettle body 11 and a motor 222 disposed on the mounting frame 221 and connected to the rotating shaft 211 .

[0039] It should be noted that the motor 222 is a reduction motor.

[0040] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, the paving mechanism 33 includes a cross bar 331 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 211, a plurality of groups of vertical rods 332 arranged in an array on the cross bar 331 along the length direction of the cross bar 331 and with the free ends facing the screen b32, a plurality of groups of wedge blocks a333 distributed in a circular array above the outer side of the screen b32, and contact rods 334 elastically arranged above and below the outermost vertical rods 332 and capable of contacting the wedge blocks a333.

[0041] It should be noted that several groups of the vertical rods 332 can effectively prevent the mesh holes on the screen from being blocked.

[0042] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiting unit 34 includes mounting grooves 341 distributed in a circular array at the edge of the screen a31, a mounting plate 342 installed on the screen b32 and extending into the mounting grooves 341, and a spring 343 connecting the mounting plate 342 and the side wall of the mounting groove 341.

[0043] It should be noted that the rigidity of the spring driving the contact rod 334 to move is higher than the sum of the several groups of springs 343, so that the screen b32 rotates first, and then the contact rod 334 contracts, and the contact rod 334 passes over the wedge block a333.

[0044] It should be further explained that, during the resetting process of the screen b32, the graphite powder on it will be shaken to further prevent the screen holes from being blocked.

[0045] Working process:

[0046] The power unit 22 drives the stirring unit 21 to rotate so that the asphalt flows in the kettle body 11. At the same time, the horizontal rod 331 drives several groups of the vertical rods 332 to move. The vertical rods 332 move the graphite powder on the screen b32. The contact rod 334 contacts the wedge block a333, and the spring 343 is compressed. The screen b32 rotates the sieve holes thereon to align with the sieve holes on the screen a31, and the graphite powder is evenly sprinkled and mixed with the asphalt. Then, the contact rod 334 contracts and passes over the wedge block a333. Under the action of the spring 343, the screen b32 is reset, and as it rotates, the graphite powder is intermittently sprinkled and mixed with the asphalt.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
