During the loading process, the specific surface tube mouth and the cylindrical part will cause friction, resulting in a gap in the tube mouth of the specific surface tube, and even the feed port of the specific surface tube will move relative to the funnel device to a position higher than the feed port of the funnel device, affecting the normal use of the specific surface tube and causing cost losses.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a funnel device that can be stably and accurately used for specific surface loading has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0034] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0035] It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be further discussed in subsequent figures.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model discloses a funnel device for specific surface loading, comprising a loading portion 1, a guide neck portion 2 and a limiting ring sleeve 3. The loading portion 1 is funnel-shaped, comprising an expanded end 11 formed at the entrance of the loading portion 1 and a contraction end 12 formed at the exit of the loading portion 1; the guide neck portion 2 is cylindrical, and a feed end 21 of the guide neck portion 2 is connected to the contraction end 12; a limiting ring sleeve 3 is provided at the connection between the feed end 21 and the contraction end 12, and a feed through hole 31 is opened in the axial direction of the limiting ring sleeve 3, the feed through hole 31 connects the loading portion 1 and the guide neck portion 2, and the radius of the feed through hole 31 is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide neck portion 2. When using the funnel device for specific surface area loading of the utility model to load materials, the nozzle of the specific surface tube is inserted into the guide neck 2 from the discharge end 22 at the bottom of the guide neck 2. After the nozzle of the specific surface tube is inserted to the specified position, the limiting ring sleeve 3 blocks the specific surface tube in the insertion direction of the specific surface tube, that is, the nozzle of the specific surface tube abuts against the lower surface of the limiting ring sleeve 3; the material is filled from the flared end 11, and the material flows from the flared end 11 to the contracted end 12 in sequence, and then passes through the feed through hole 31 and enters the interior of the specific surface tube from the nozzle of the specific surface tube; of course, it can be understood that the loading part 1 and the guide neck 2 are coaxially connected in sequence along the feeding direction, so that the material can enter the interior of the specific surface tube more smoothly from the loading part 1, and the feeding path is located at the center of the nozzle of the specific surface tube, and the landing point of the material is located at the center of the nozzle of the specific surface tube, thereby reducing the contact between the material and the wall of the specific surface tube. Preferably, the bottom surface of the limiting ring sleeve 3 is an annular plane, so that the bottom surface of the limiting ring sleeve 3 can be more closely matched with the top surface of the pipe mouth of the specific surface pipe. The radius of the feed hole 31 is r1, the outer diameter of the expanded end 11 of the charging part 1 is r2, and the outer diameter of the guide neck 2 is r3.

[0037] The inner diameter of the feed hole 31 of the limiting ring sleeve 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide neck 2, and the inner diameter of the guide neck 2 is larger than the outer diameter of the feed opening of the specific surface tube. In this way, the lower edge of the limiting ring sleeve 3 can be completely abutted against the top surface of the feed opening of the specific surface tube. The lower edge of the limiting ring sleeve 3 seals the outer periphery of the feed opening of the specific surface tube. When loading the sample, the material will not be scattered to the outside of the specific surface tube, ensuring that the sample enters the specific surface tube completely. Therefore, it can be applied to the loading process of long glass tubes with different apertures, shortening the time and improving the work efficiency.

[0038] Furthermore, the feeding hole 31 of the limiting ring 3 can be a shape in which the inner diameter gradually decreases from top to bottom, wherein the inner diameter of the top of the limiting ring 3 is equal to the inner diameter of the contraction end 12, and the inner diameter of the bottom of the limiting ring 3 is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide neck 2. Such an arrangement can make the charging part, the limiting ring and the guide neck smoothly connected, so that the material can quickly flow into the specific surface tube.

[0039] Of course, it can also be Figure 1 The shape shown, for example, the feed hole 31 includes a first extension section and a second extension section that are axially connected, wherein the inner diameter of the first extension section located at the top gradually decreases from top to bottom, so that the feed hole 31 in the first extension section is similar to an inverted truncated cone, the top of the first extension section is connected to the bottom of the contraction end 12, the inner diameter of the top of the first extension section is equal to the inner diameter of the contraction end 12, the second extension section is connected to the bottom of the first extension section, the inner diameter of the second extension section is a fixed value and equal to the inner diameter of the bottom of the first extension section, and the inner diameter of the second extension section is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide neck 2. Such an arrangement can make the charging part 1, the limiting ring sleeve 3 and the guide neck 2 smoothly connected, so that the material can quickly flow into the specific surface tube. Such an arrangement can further ensure the thickness of the guide neck so that it has sufficient guiding strength. Among them, the guide neck 2 and the limiting ring sleeve 3 are coaxial and integrally formed with the charging part 1, and the guide neck 2 is extended from the contraction end 12 back to the charging part 1. Specifically, the guide neck 2 is extended from the contraction end 12 of the charging part 1 along the axial direction of the charging part 1 and in the direction away from the charging part 1. The guide neck 2 is used to be sleeved on the outside of the inlet of the specific surface tube.

[0040] Furthermore, the wall thickness of the charging part 1 gradually increases from the expansion end 11 to the contraction end 12. By adjusting the wall thickness of the charging part 1 to change the slope of the material discharge surface, the slope is set within the most reasonable range to prevent the material from being discharged too quickly due to the slope being too large, and the material is easily accumulated at the discharge port; it can also prevent the material from being discharged unsmoothly due to the slope being too small, and the work efficiency is low. In the cross section of the charging part, the slope k1 of the inner wall and the slope k2 of the outer wall meet It should be noted that the slope of the inner side wall in this application is based on Figure 1 The direction is based on the tangent value of the angle between the inner wall of the charging part and the horizontal right straight line, that is, Figure 1 The slope of the inner wall relative to the horizontal rightward straight line on the cross section; the slope of the outer wall is calculated in the same way. The side wall thickness d at the contraction end satisfies In the formula, r1 is the radius of the feed hole; r2 is the outer diameter of the expanded end of the charging part; and r3 is the outer diameter of the guide neck. When the above conditions are met, the charging part 1 can have the maximum material flow rate, and can completely guide the sample into the feed hole without part of the material remaining on the top wall of the limiting ring. At the same time, in the utility model, the wall thickness of the charging part 1 gradually increases to increase the stability of the bottom, and is more stable and less likely to tip over than the surface loading funnel device when loading samples.

[0041] Optionally, the charging portion 1, the guide neck 2 and the limiting ring 3 are integrally formed, and the materials thereof are all selected from inorganic non-metallic materials, polymer materials or metal aluminum. Preferably, the material thereof is selected from metal aluminum. The material of the limiting ring is selected from inorganic non-metallic materials or polymer materials, which can play a shock absorbing role on the comparative surface tube and avoid damage to the comparative surface tube.

[0042] Furthermore, the length of the guide neck 2 is 3 cm±0.5 cm. If the guide neck 2 is too short, the fit between the specific surface tube and the guide neck 2 will decrease, and the stability of the guide neck 2 when introducing the material will also decrease.

[0043] Furthermore, the inner circumference of the discharge end 22 of the guide neck 2 is chamfered to facilitate the insertion of the specific surface tube into the guide neck 2 .

[0044] In summary, the setting of the limiting ring sleeve in the funnel device for specific surface loading provided by the utility model can limit the specific surface tube, increase the fit between the specific surface tube and the loading device, and prevent the specific surface tube from being loosely connected to the loading device during loading. For example, it can prevent the feed port of the specific surface tube from extending to the flared end of the loading part. At the same time, when the inner diameter and other dimensions of each part meet the requirements, the material can easily flow into the specific surface tube to avoid the occurrence of material spillage. In addition, the utility model preferably uses aluminum material, which can reduce the dead weight of the loading device and make it lighter when used. Based on the fact that the loading device is mainly used for positive electrode materials, the single crystal product in the positive electrode material is relatively hard in itself, and friction will occur with the inner wall during the loading process. The use of aluminum products will reduce the loss of single crystal products, improve the accuracy of surface testing, and thus improve the stability of the test, shorten the loading time, and improve work efficiency. The use of the specific surface area sample loading funnel device provided by the utility model can greatly improve production efficiency, and the sample loading efficiency is increased from the original 2min / sample to 0.5min / sample. At the same time, the risk of material spillage and the impact of sample tube damage are also reduced, thereby reducing production costs.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the above embodiments may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
