Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery production, in particular to a filtering mechanism for a vacuum mixer. Background Art

[0002] As one of the most important new energy products, lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high rate performance, good cycle performance, safety, and environmental protection. The quality of lithium-ion batteries depends largely on the initial battery slurry preparation process. The quality of the battery slurry directly determines the effect of subsequent coating, and then directly affects the comprehensive performance of the battery produced later. The quality of the battery slurry mainly depends on the dispersion performance of the slurry, the size distribution of solid particles in the slurry, and the slurry viscosity.

[0003] At present, in order to obtain a slurry with better dispersion, the battery slurry generally needs to be screened after the slurry mixing is completed to filter out larger solid particles to avoid affecting the subsequent coating. However, traditional slurry screening cannot directly reflect the screening efficiency and the quality of the screened slurry in a digital way. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a filtering mechanism for a vacuum mixer, comprising an outer shell, a filter screen, a built-in tank and a viscometer installed in the outer shell, a top feed port of the outer shell is connected with a discharge port of the vacuum mixer, a weight sensor is installed on the inner bottom wall of the outer shell, the built-in tank is installed on the weight sensor, the filter screen is located above the built-in tank, the viscometer is fixed on the outer shell and a rotor on the viscometer can extend into the built-in tank.

[0006] The utility model proposes a filtering mechanism for a vacuum mixer, which also includes a lifting base. The outer shell is composed of an upper shell and a lower shell assembled in the vertical direction, wherein the upper shell is fixedly connected to the vacuum mixer, and the lower shell is installed on the lifting base. The lifting base can drive the lower shell to move up and down so that the lower shell and the upper shell are assembled to form the outer shell or the two are separated.

[0007] Preferably, the filter is detachably mounted on the upper shell.

[0008] Preferably, an annular groove is formed at the bottom end of the upper shell, a gasket is fixed on the inner top wall of the groove, and the top end wall of the lower shell can extend into the groove and abut against the gasket.

[0009] Preferably, the groove is in the shape of a trumpet with the flared end facing downward.

[0010] Preferably, the inner groove wall of the groove extends obliquely downward to just above the built-in tank.

[0011] Preferably, a vacuum channel is provided on the upper shell and an exhaust valve is installed.

[0012] The filtering mechanism proposed by the utility model is that the slurry enters the outer shell from the discharge port of the vacuum mixer and is screened through the screen. After passing through the screen, the slurry enters the built-in tank, and when the slurry contacts the bottom of the built-in tank, the sensor and the timer will be triggered, so as to perform time statistics and slurry weight records. When the slurry reaches a certain height, the viscosity is measured by the rotor on the viscometer, and the weight, time, and viscosity data are fed back to the control panel, so that the screening rate and slurry viscosity can be directly calculated.

The top feed port of the shell 1 is connected to the discharge port of the vacuum mixer. A weight sensor 6 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the shell 1. The built-in tank 3 is installed on the weight sensor 6. The filter screen 2 is located above the built-in tank 3. The viscometer 4 is fixed on the shell 1 and the rotor on the viscometer 4 can extend into the built-in tank 3.

[0016] The use process of the filtering mechanism is as follows: when in use, the slurry sent out from the discharge port of the vacuum mixer enters the outer shell 1, and the slurry falls into the built-in tank 3 after being filtered by the filter screen 2. When the slurry reaches a certain height, it contacts the rotor of the viscometer 4 extending into the built-in tank 3. The viscometer 4 detects the viscosity of the slurry, thereby digitizing the quality of the slurry screening.

[0017] The utility model proposes a filtering mechanism for a vacuum mixer, which also includes a control panel and a timing unit. The timing unit, a weight sensor 6 and a viscometer 4 are all electrically connected to the control panel. When the slurry reaches a certain height, the viscosity of the slurry is obtained by the rotor on the viscometer 4, the weight of the slurry is obtained by the weight sensor 6, and the time is counted by the timing unit, so as to calculate the screening rate and the slurry viscosity.
