Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of box-type graphitization furnaces, in particular to a honeycomb graphitization material box. Background Art
[0002] New energy negative electrode materials are an important part of power batteries. With the development of new energy vehicles, the demand for negative electrode materials for batteries has also increased by leaps and bounds. The graphitization process is the most important link in the production of negative electrode materials. It is a process that makes full use of resistance heat to heat carbonaceous materials to 2300~3000℃, so that the carbon with amorphous chaotic layer structure is converted into an ordered graphite crystalline structure. At present, the market mainly uses Acheson graphitization furnace, internal heat series graphitization furnace and box-type graphitization furnace to complete graphitization production. Among them, the box-type graphitization furnace is widely used because of its large one-time furnace loading and low graphitization per ton powder cost. The box-type graphitization furnace in the prior art divides the entire furnace core into several equal volume chambers, and the negative electrode material is directly placed in the material box surrounded by graphite plates. Because the graphite plates are conductive, the material box itself heats up after power is turned on. The material box can achieve the purpose of heating the material while serving as a container for negative electrode materials.

After power is turned on, the carbon plate is easily deformed or broken due to the thermal expansion of the carbon plate itself and the thermal expansion of the material, which affects the life of the material box.

[0020] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict. For the convenience of description, if the words "upper", "lower", "left" and "right" appear in the following text, they only indicate that the upper, lower, left and right directions are consistent with the drawings themselves, and do not limit the structure.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a honeycomb graphitized material box provided in this embodiment includes a box body 1, a honeycomb box 2, a cover plate 3, a thermal insulation layer 4 and an insulating layer 5.
[0022] The box body 1 has a thickness direction X, and a wiring port 11 is provided on one of the side walls for wiring and conducting electricity into the box body 1. A heat preservation layer 4 and an insulating layer 5 are provided on the inner wall surface of the box body 1 in sequence.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the honeycomb box 2 is a carbon plate 21, and the carbon plate 21 encloses the honeycomb box 2 to form a hexagon that is connected from top to bottom. The carbon plate 21 includes a first plate 211 and a second plate 212. The thickness of the first plate 211 is greater than the thickness of the second plate 212. In the hexagonal honeycomb box 2, two first plates 211 are arranged diagonally, and the remaining sides are all provided with the second plates 212. Adjacent carbon plates 21 are connected by carbon columns 22.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the carbon column 22 is cylindrical, and three slots 221 are circumferentially provided thereon, wherein one slot 221 is adapted to the first plate 211 , and the other two slots 221 are adapted to the second plate 212 .
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the carbon column 22 is arranged vertically, and its height direction is consistent with the thickness direction X of the box body 1. Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of carbon plates 21 are inserted in the height direction of the carbon column 22, wherein the number of the first plates 211 is n, and the number of the second plates 212 is m, where n<m, and n and m are both natural numbers greater than 1. In this embodiment, n=2, and m=3. That is, the height of a single second plate 212 is less than the height of a single first plate 211.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the honeycomb boxes 2 are sequentially spliced in the box body 1. Due to the size limitation of the inner cavity of the box body 1, the honeycomb boxes 2 near the insulating layer 5 are disconnected, such as half of a triangle or hexagon formed after disconnection. Figure 1 As shown, the cover plate 3 is not provided at the disconnected portion of the honeycomb box 2 .
[0027] In order to facilitate the lifting and splicing of the honeycomb box 2, the carbon plates 21 and the carbon columns 22 can be assembled outside the box body 1 (i.e., offline) as shown in the following figure: Figure 4The carbon plate module shown in the figure includes two carbon columns 22, two second plates 212 and a first plate 211. One of the carbon columns 22 is located in the center, and the two second plates 212 and the first plate 211 are inserted in the carbon column 22, and the other carbon column 22 is inserted at the end of one of the second plates 212. During installation, a special lifting device is used to place the first carbon plate module in the box body 1, and then the second carbon plate module is lifted into the box body 1 and the second plate 212 of the second carbon plate module is inserted into the corresponding slot 221 of the carbon column 22 on the first carbon plate module, and then the third carbon plate module is lifted into the box body 1 and the first plate 211 of the third carbon plate module is inserted into the corresponding slot 221 of the carbon column 22 on the first carbon plate module, and the above is repeated until the box body 1 is filled, thereby forming a plurality of hexagonal honeycomb boxes 2, and the honeycomb boxes 2 are hexagonal unit cavities.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the carbon plate 21 encloses the honeycomb box 2 to form a hexagon that penetrates from top to bottom, the bottom of the honeycomb box 2 is in contact with the inner bottom surface of the box body 1, and a cover plate 3 is provided on the top of each honeycomb box 2.
[0029] like Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 3 includes an upper plate 31 and a lower plate 32 that are attached to each other. The upper plate 31 and the lower plate 32 are hexagonal with the same shape. The upper plate 31 and the lower plate 32 are staggered in at least one direction, so that the lower plate 32 extends out of the outer edge of the upper plate 31 to form a first overlapping edge 321. The upper plate 31 extends out of the outer edge of the lower plate 32 to form a second overlapping edge 311. Figure 1 As shown, the area of the lower plate 32 is larger than the opening of the honeycomb box 2, so that the lower plate 32 is placed on the carbon plate 21. In two adjacent cover plates 3, the second overlap edge 311 on one cover plate 3 overlaps the first overlap edge 321 on the other cover plate 3 to facilitate conduction. When the upper plate 31 and the lower plate 32 are staggered in one direction on the horizontal plane, the first overlap edge 321 and the second overlap edge 311 are both one, and when they are staggered in both directions on the horizontal plane, the first overlap edge 321 and the second overlap edge 311 are both two.
[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, the current density of the hexagonal honeycomb box 2 is higher, and the carbon plate 21 can transmit current more effectively. In addition, the carbon powder in the honeycomb graphitized material box has a higher heating efficiency and a more uniform heating.
[0031] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
