DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] Embodiment 1

[0023] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a graphite canning device for lithium battery negative electrode, comprising: a first assembly ring frame 5, a second assembly ring frame 6 and a filling barrel 7 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the first assembly ring frame 5 is equipped with a suspension mechanism for a graphite raw material bag, two third support frames 4 are symmetrically fixedly connected between the second assembly ring frame 6 and the first assembly ring frame 5, the two third support frames 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the first support frames 1 fixedly connected to the ground by bolts away from the side walls, and a programmable controller of model VH-24MR is fixedly connected to one of the first support frames 1 2. Four first movable grooves 26 are provided at equal intervals along the circumferential direction inside the second assembly ring frame 6, and movable blocks 21 are provided inside the first movable grooves 26. A driving mechanism for driving the four movable blocks 21 to move away from or towards each other at the same time is installed between the four movable blocks 21 and the second assembly ring frame 6. The filling cylinder 7 is connected to the second assembly ring frame 6. A support plate 13 is fixedly connected to the discharge port of the filling cylinder 7. A threaded shaft 14 is connected to the support plate 13. A conical block 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded shaft 14. The suspension mechanism and the driving mechanism are electrically connected to the programmable controller 2.

[0024] See attached Figure 1 , 25. When the graphite canning device for the negative electrode of the lithium battery is used for graphite canning, the suspension mechanism is controlled by the programmable controller 2 to suspend the graphite raw material bag above the filling cylinder 7, and the graphite can body is placed under the filling cylinder 7. The suspension mechanism is controlled to descend by the programmable controller 2, so that the graphite raw material bag contacts the conical block 12, and the tip of the conical block 12 pierces the graphite raw material bag. The suspension mechanism is controlled to rise by the programmable controller 2 until the tip of the conical block 12 is separated from the graphite raw material bag and the graphite raw material bag stops discharging graphite, and the graphite falls into the filling cylinder 7 through the pierced position of the graphite raw material bag, and then enters the graphite can body through the discharge port of the filling cylinder 7 to realize graphite canning. During the graphite canning process, the programmable controller 2 is used to control the graphite raw material bag to be punctured. The control driving mechanism is started, and the driving mechanism drives the four movable blocks 21 to move back and forth in the four first movable grooves 26 to squeeze the graphite raw material bag, so as to avoid the problem of blocking the puncture position of the graphite raw material during the graphite falling process and causing the material to be unable to be dropped, thereby improving the graphite filling speed of the device. After the graphite tank body is full, the programmable controller 2 is used to control the suspension mechanism to descend, so that the graphite raw material bag contacts the conical block 12, and the conical block 12 blocks the puncture position of the graphite raw material bag to stop the material dropping. The graphite tank body is replaced, and the programmable controller 2 is used to control the suspension mechanism to rise, so that the graphite raw material bag can continue to drop the material, and the graphite canning continues. If the graphite in the graphite raw material bag is filled, the graphite raw material bag is replaced according to the above method until the canning operation is completed.

[0025] Specifically, the suspension mechanism includes a first motor 11 with model number 5IK90RGU-CF fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first assembly ring frame 5 and a drive shaft 9 arranged inside the first assembly ring frame 5, one end of the drive shaft 9 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 11 through a coupling, and the other end of the drive shaft 9 is connected to the inner wall of the first assembly ring frame 5 through a bearing, and two retracting cylinders 8 are symmetrically fixedly sleeved on the drive shaft 9, and a retracting rope 10 is wound around the retracting cylinder 8, one end of the retracting rope 10 is fixedly connected to the retracting cylinder 8 and the other end extends into the filling cylinder 7, and the first motor 11 is electrically connected to the programmable controller 2.

[0026] See attached Figure 2 The suspension mechanism is achieved by tying one end of two retracting ropes 10 to the graphite raw material bag, and controlling the first motor 11 to start through the programmable controller 2. The first motor 11 drives the output shaft to rotate forward, drives the drive shaft 9 to rotate forward, drives the two retracting cylinders 8 to rotate forward, and drives the two retracting ropes 10 to reel in to achieve suspension. At the same time, the output shaft of the first motor 11 rotates in the reverse direction, drives the drive shaft 9 and the two retracting cylinders 8 to rotate in the reverse direction, and drives the two retracting ropes 10 to be lowered to achieve descent.

[0027] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a first support seat 16 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second assembly ring frame 6, an assembly groove 29 opened at the bottom end of the second assembly ring frame 6, four second support seats 20 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second assembly ring frame 6 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction, and a rack 25 fixedly connected to the movable block 21.

The output shaft of the second motor 19 passes through the first support seat 16 and extends to the bottom, where a first gear 17 is fixedly sleeved. An inner gear ring 18 meshing with the first gear 17 is connected to the inside of the assembly groove 29 through a bearing. A connecting shaft 24 is connected to the second support seat 20 through a bearing. A third gear 23 meshing with the adjacent rack 25 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 24, located above the second support seat 20. A second gear 22 meshing with the inner gear ring 18 is fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft 24, located below the second support seat 20. The second motor 19 is electrically connected to the programmable controller 2.

[0028] See attached Figure 2-5 The driving mechanism is controlled by the programmable controller 2 to start the second motor 19, and the second motor 19 drives the output shaft to rotate forward or reversely, drives the first gear 17 to rotate forward or reversely, drives the inner gear ring 18 to rotate forward or reversely, drives the four second gears 22 to rotate forward or reversely, drives the four connecting shafts 24 to rotate forward or reversely, drives the four third gears 23 to rotate forward or reversely, and drives the four movable blocks 21 to move toward or away from each other to realize the reciprocating movement drive of the four movable blocks 21.

[0029] Specifically, a movement limiting mechanism is installed between the movable block 21 and the second assembly ring frame 6 , and the movement limiting mechanism includes a fixed block 28 fixedly connected to the inside of the first movable groove 26 and a second movable groove 27 opened in the movable block 21 , and the second movable groove 27 is movably sleeved outside the fixed block 28 .

[0035] See attached Figure 2 and 5 After the graphite tank is placed, the threaded shaft 14 is rotated forward, and the threaded shaft 14 moves downward during rotation, driving multiple stirring blades 15 to move downward and extend into the graphite tank. During the graphite canning process, the inner gear ring 18 drives the two second support frames 3 to rotate during rotation, drives the filling barrel 7 to rotate, drives the support plate 13, the threaded shaft 14 and the multiple stirring blades 15 to rotate, and the multiple rotating stirring blades 15 can stir the graphite entering the graphite tank to prevent graphite from accumulating in the graphite tank at the discharge port of the filling barrel 7; before taking the graphite tank, the threaded shaft 14 is rotated in the reverse direction to drive the multiple stirring blades 15 to rise and disengage from the graphite tank, so as to facilitate taking the graphite tank.
