Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of carbonization furnaces, in particular to a double-drum high-efficiency carbonization furnace. Background Art
[0002] In the industrial production of negative electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, the precursor materials of the powdered negative electrode materials are often subjected to high-temperature heat treatment to obtain the negative electrode materials. This is usually called carbonization treatment in the industry, and the corresponding equipment is usually a carbonization furnace. In the prior art, the carbonization of negative electrode materials mostly uses a horizontal drum carbonization furnace. The precursor material is placed in the drum, and then the drum is heated. During the heating process, the drum needs to be continuously rotated so that the material inside is heated evenly. This carbonization method requires loading first and then carbonization, so continuous operation cannot be performed. In addition, the materials placed in the drum are large and concentrated, and they are accompanied by a certain amount of moisture. They need to be heated for a long time, which is inefficient and energy-consuming. The drum also needs to be continuously rotated, which has high requirements for equipment. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a double-drum high-efficiency carbonization furnace which has a simple structure, can operate continuously, and does not require the drum to rotate.
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0005] A double-barrel high-efficiency carbonization furnace comprises: a frame, a first barrel and a second barrel both of which are hollow inside, a heating mechanism, a feed pipe and a discharge pipe, and a conveying mechanism, wherein the first barrel is arranged on the frame, the second barrel is located inside the first barrel, and a material channel is formed between the inner side wall of the first barrel and the outer side wall of the second barrel; the heating mechanism is arranged on the frame and covers the outer side wall of the first barrel, and is used to heat the first barrel; the feed pipe is connected to one end of the second barrel, and the discharge pipe is connected to one end of the first barrel close to the feed pipe; the conveying mechanism is arranged on the frame, and is used to drive the material in the first barrel and the material in the second barrel to move in opposite directions; wherein the first barrel and the second barrel are staggered, and there is a material transfer space between one end of the second barrel away from the feed pipe and one end of the first barrel away from the discharge pipe.
[0006] In the above technical solution, during carbonization, the material first enters the second barrel from the feed pipe, and the material is moved along its length direction in the second barrel through the feeding mechanism until it moves to the end of the second barrel and enters the first barrel from the material transfer space. At the same time, the feeding mechanism drives the material to move in the opposite direction in the first barrel until it flows out from the discharge pipe.
[0007] The heating mechanism of the utility model covers the outer wall of the first barrel, ensuring uniform heat distribution and avoiding uneven carbonization of the material caused by uneven temperature during the carbonization process. In addition, a double-barrel design of the first barrel and the second barrel is adopted. When the material moves in the second barrel, the material can be dried and heated for the first time. When moving in the first barrel, the temperature is higher because it is close to the barrel wall of the first barrel, so the second heating and carbonization of the material can be achieved. That is, the material is moved back and forth in different barrels for heating to ensure that the material has sufficient heating time and the material can be heated in a dispersed manner. Since the two barrels do not need to rotate, continuous carbonization operations can be performed, that is, feeding and discharging at the same time, which greatly improves the carbonization efficiency and reduces energy consumption.
[0008] Optionally, in a possible implementation, the feeding mechanism includes a sealing cover, a first feeding piece, a second feeding piece and a rotating driving piece, the sealing cover is rotatably mounted on one end of the first barrel away from the discharge pipe, the first feeding piece and the second feeding piece are both arranged on the sealing cover and are respectively attached to the inner side wall of the first barrel and the inner side wall of the second barrel, and the rotating driving piece is used to drive the rotation of the sealing cover.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the cover can be used to seal the first barrel to prevent leakage of the material and ensure that the carbonization furnace maintains good sealing during operation. In addition, the first feeding member and the second feeding member are arranged so that they can directly act on the material and drive the material to move in their respective barrels, thereby realizing continuous transportation of the material during the carbonization process. At the same time, the use of a rotary drive member to directly drive the rotation of the cover is simple and efficient, which can not only realize continuous and uniform transportation of the material, but also reduce energy consumption and improve the overall operation efficiency of the carbonization furnace.
[0010] Optionally, in a possible implementation, the first feeding member includes a first rotating cylinder, and a first guide sheet spaced and staggered along the length direction of the first rotating cylinder, the second feeding member includes a second rotating cylinder, and a second guide sheet spaced and staggered along the length direction of the second rotating cylinder, the first guide sheet and the second guide sheet are both inclined and in opposite directions.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the first guide sheet and the second guide sheet are respectively inclined toward the moving direction of the material in their respective barrels, and the first guide sheet and the second guide sheet are spaced and staggered along the length direction of their respective rotating barrels, so that the guide sheet can better contact with the material and effectively promote the movement of the material in the barrel, and can also move the material so that the material can be effectively stirred during the conveying process to be better heated.
[0012] Optionally, in a possible implementation, the heating mechanism includes a heating layer, an electromagnetic induction coil, and an electromagnetic heating controller electrically connected to the electromagnetic induction coil, the heating layer is coated on the outer wall of the first barrel, and the electromagnetic induction coil is wound around the outer surface of the heating layer.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the heating structure adopts electromagnetic induction heating to achieve efficient and uniform heating of the first barrel. The frequency and intensity of the current are precisely controlled by the electromagnetic heating controller, thereby generating an alternating magnetic field in the heating layer, and then generating eddy currents in the barrel to achieve rapid heating. In addition, the setting of the heating layer can also enhance the transfer effect of thermal energy, ensuring that heat can be evenly and quickly transferred to the inside of the barrel.
[0014] Optionally, in a possible implementation, a fixing block is further included, and the first barrel, the second barrel, the feed pipe and the discharge pipe are all mounted on the frame through the fixing block.
[0015] In the above technical solution, the setting of the fixed block enables key components such as the first barrel, the second barrel, the feed pipe and the discharge pipe to be firmly mounted on the frame, ensuring that the relative positions of the components remain unchanged during the operation of the carbonization furnace, and effectively preventing the loosening or displacement of components due to vibration or impact, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the carbonization furnace and facilitating the disassembly and connection of the components.
[0016] Optionally, in a possible implementation, the second barrel extends out of the first barrel close to one end of the feeding tube, and is connected to one end of the feeding tube via a connector.
[0017] In the above technical solution, the second barrel has a protruding barrel body relative to the first barrel, which can facilitate the docking installation between the second barrel and the feed pipe, thereby improving the installation efficiency and installation accuracy. In addition, the connector, as a component connecting the second barrel and the feed pipe, has the characteristics of simple structure and convenient installation.
[0018] Optionally, in a possible implementation, an exhaust pipe is provided on the fixed block, and the exhaust pipe is connected to the first barrel.
[0019] In the above technical solution, the setting of the exhaust pipe effectively solves the problem of waste gas emission that may be generated during the carbonization process. During the carbonization process, the material will release some harmful gases. If they are not discharged in time, they will affect the working environment and the health of the operators. By discharging the waste gas through the exhaust pipe, the air circulation inside the carbonization furnace can be maintained, the accumulation of harmful gases can be reduced, and thus the working environment can be improved. In addition, the setting of the air pipe also facilitates further treatment of the waste gas, such as connecting the exhaust pipe to the waste gas treatment equipment for waste gas purification.
[0020] Optionally, in a possible implementation, a feed hopper and a control valve are provided on the feed pipe, and the feed hopper is located at an end of the feed pipe away from the second barrel.
[0021] In the above technical solution, the setting of the feed hopper makes it easier to put materials into the carbonization furnace. The control valve can control the rate and amount of materials entering the carbonization furnace. The operator can adjust the opening of the control valve as needed to achieve precise control of material feeding. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] During carbonization in this embodiment, the material first enters the second barrel 3 from the feed pipe 5, and is moved along its length direction in the second barrel 3 through the feeding mechanism 7 until it moves to the end of the second barrel 3 and enters the first barrel 2 from the material transfer space.
