[0033] The embodiments of the present application provide a lithium battery slurry supply and cleaning system, which can solve the problem that it is difficult to clean the dry slurry formed on the inner wall of the slurry supply pipeline after the slurry adheres to the pipeline in the related art.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiments of the present application provide a lithium battery slurry supply and cleaning system, including:

[0035] A slurry supply unit, which includes a slurry storage tank 11, a feed branch pipe 12 connected to the slurry storage tank 11, a discharge branch pipe 13 connected to the slurry storage tank 11, a return branch pipe 14 connected between the feed branch pipe 12 and the discharge branch pipe 13, and a feed pump 16 connected to the discharge branch pipe 13. The feed branch pipe 12 is connected to the feed port of the slurry storage tank 11, the discharge branch pipe 13 is connected to the discharge port of the slurry storage tank 11, and the feed pump 16 discharges the slurry or cleaning liquid in the slurry storage tank 11 to the discharge branch pipe 13.

[0036] A pipeline cleaning unit, which includes an ultrasonic generator 22 and an ultrasonic transducer 23 fixedly connected to the feed branch pipe 12 and the discharge branch pipe 13, and the ultrasonic generator 22 is connected to the ultrasonic transducer 23. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generator 22 and the ultrasonic transducer 23 cause a very large vibration speed and acceleration of the particles in the cleaning liquid, and also cause the dry slurry on the inner wall surfaces of the feed branch pipe 12 and the discharge branch pipe 13 to be frequently and violently impacted, so that it breaks and falls off.

[0037] In the lithium battery slurry supply and cleaning system according to the embodiment of the present application, a reflux branch pipe 14 is connected between the feed branch pipe 12 and the discharge branch pipe 13, and a feed pump 16 is connected to the discharge branch pipe 13. The feed branch pipe 12, the slurry storage tank 11, the discharge branch pipe 13, the reflux branch pipe 14 and the feed pump 16 are connected to each other in sequence to form a cleaning circuit. The cleaning liquid in the slurry storage tank 11 circulates and flushes the dry slurry adhering to the feed branch pipe 12, the slurry storage tank 11 and the discharge branch pipe 13 under the action of the feed pump 16.

[0038] In addition, ultrasonic transducers 23 are installed on the feed branch pipe 12 and the discharge branch pipe 13 according to the embodiment of the present application, and the ultrasonic generator 22 is connected to the ultrasonic transducers 23. The ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generator 22 and the ultrasonic transducers 23 cause a large vibration speed and acceleration of the particles in the cleaning liquid, and also cause the dry slurry on the inner wall surfaces of the feed branch pipe 12 and the discharge branch pipe 13 to be frequently and violently impacted, so that it breaks and falls off, and the cleaning efficiency is further improved.

[0042] A demagnetization mechanism 17 is connected in series on the discharge branch pipe 13 of the embodiment of the present application. A permanent magnet is arranged in the demagnetization mechanism 17. When the slurry flows through the demagnetization mechanism 17, the permanent magnet in the demagnetization mechanism 17 can adsorb the magnetic impurities in the slurry, and it is necessary to reduce or eliminate the magnetic substances in the slurry.

[0043] In some alternative embodiments: Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a lithium battery slurry supply and cleaning system.

The ultrasonic transducer 23 is connected to the feed branch pipe 20 through the screw 24.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments: Refer to Figure 1 、 Figures 3 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a lithium battery slurry supply and cleaning system.

The first valve 6 is used to connect or disconnect the feed branch pipe 12 of the transfer slurry supply unit 1 and the discharge branch pipe 13 of the transfer slurry supply unit 1.

[0048] When the first valve 6 is used to disconnect the feed branch pipe 12 of the transfer slurry supply unit 1 and the discharge branch pipe 13 of the transfer slurry supply unit 1, the slurry mixing unit 4 pumps the mixed finished slurry into the main feed pipeline 5 and then into the slurry storage tank 11 of the transfer slurry supply unit 1 for temporary storage, and pumps the slurry discharged from the transfer slurry supply unit 1 into the tail slurry supply unit 2.

[0049] In some alternative embodiments: Refer to Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a lithium battery slurry supply and cleaning system. The feed branch pipe 12 of the tail slurry supply unit 2 of the lithium battery slurry supply and cleaning system is connected to the main feed pipeline 5, and the feed branch pipe 12 of the head slurry supply unit 3 is connected to the main feed pipeline 5. Second valves 18 are connected between the feed branch pipe 12 of the tail slurry supply unit 2 and the main feed pipeline 5 and between the feed branch pipe 12 of the head slurry supply unit 3 and the main feed pipeline 5.

The third valve 7 is located downstream of the feed branch pipe 12 of the tail slurry supply unit 2, and the fourth valve 8 is located downstream of the feed branch pipe 12 of the head slurry supply unit 3.

[0051] When the third valve 7 is closed and the second valve 18 for pumping the slurry into the tail slurry supply unit 2 is opened, the transfer slurry supply unit 1 pumps the slurry into the tail slurry supply unit 2. When the third valve 7 is opened and the fourth valve 8 is closed, and the second valve 18 of the head slurry supply unit 3 is opened, the transfer slurry supply unit 1 pumps the slurry into the tail slurry supply unit 2 and / or the head slurry supply unit 3.

[0052] In some alternative embodiments: Refer to Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a lithium battery slurry supply and cleaning system.
