As one of the key materials in lithium-ion batteries, the anode powder is mainly composed of various elements such as carbon, silicon, and lithium titanium, and can provide the anode reaction required by the battery. During the production and processing of lithium batteries, it is necessary to feed the anode powder, so a special feeding device is required.

[0003] In the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number of CN219031082U, a feeding device for graphite anode powder is disclosed. The device makes it convenient to transport the powder through the inclined feeding box and the auger, and can prevent the powder from remaining during the transportation process, with strong practicability. For the above related technologies, the inventor believes that there are the following defects:

[0004] When the device is actually used, due to the poor fluidity of the anode powder itself and the lack of an integrated structure for controlling the feeding amount in the device, a large amount of anode powder will enter the inner part of the feeding port of the feeding hopper at one time, thus easily causing blockage. Therefore, we provide a feeding device for graphite anode powder. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] To solve the problem of blockage easily occurring in the above background art due to the poor fluidity of the anode powder and the difficulty in controlling the feeding amount of the anode powder in the device, the utility model provides a feeding device for graphite anode powder.

Two balls are symmetrically and movably connected to the connecting piece. A spiral groove is formed on the inner wall of the hollow shaft corresponding to the position of the balls. On one side, a cross bar is fixedly connected to the baffle through a connecting seat, and one end of the cross bar extends into the hollow shaft and is fixedly connected to the connecting piece.

[0010] As a further improvement of the above solution, a limiting ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer part of one end of the connecting rod.

[0011] As a further improvement of the above solution, a guiding rod is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the strip-shaped frame. A guiding piece is fixedly connected to the outside of the blanking pipe and is slidably connected with the guiding rod.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above solution, the sum of the areas of the two baffle plates is greater than the cross-sectional area of the blanking pipe.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

And with the sliding cooperation between the baffle plate and the sliding rod and the hinge action cooperation between the baffle plate, the strip-shaped frame and the connecting rod, the two baffle plates can be driven to alternately approach and move away from each other, thereby automatically and repeatedly adjusting the size of the blanking port of the blanking pipe, and then achieving the purpose of intermittent blanking, effectively avoiding the problem of easy blockage caused by the poor fluidity of the negative electrode powder and the difficulty in controlling the blanking amount of the negative electrode powder by the device, and having strong practicability.

[0018] 2. In the process of driving the two baffle plates to approach and move away from each other, the baffle plate will also drive the cross bar to move together. The movement of the cross bar drives the balls to move. By using the cooperation between the balls and the spiral grooves and the rotation cooperation of the hollow shaft, the hollow shaft can be driven to rotate, and then the stirring rod can be driven to rotate to stir the negative electrode powder inside the blanking pipe, further preventing the negative electrode powder from being blocked inside the blanking pipe.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , a graphite negative electrode powder feeding device of this embodiment includes:

[0029] A feed bin 1, the bottom center of the feed bin 1 is fixedly connected and communicated with a blanking pipe 2. The bottom of the feed bin 1 is designed with a funnel-shaped structure, which can prevent the residue of negative electrode powder inside the feed bin 1;

[0030] Intermittent feeding assembly. The intermittent feeding assembly includes a motor fixedly connected to the feeding pipe 2 through a bracket. The end of the rotor of the motor is coaxially fixedly connected with a disc 101. A connecting rod 102 is fixedly connected to a position near the edge of the outside of the disc 101. A strip-shaped frame 103 is movably sleeved outside the connecting rod 102. Baffle plates 104 are symmetrically arranged outside the feeding port of the feeding pipe 2. Slide rods 105 are also symmetrically fixedly connected outside the feeding port of the feeding pipe 2 and are slidably connected with the baffle plates 104. A connecting rod 106 is hinged between the strip-shaped frame 103 and the baffle plates 104 through a hinge member. A guide rod 107 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the strip-shaped frame 103. A guide member 108 is fixedly connected to the outside of the feeding pipe 2 and is slidably connected with the guide rod 107, which can play a certain guiding role in the vertical movement of the strip-shaped frame 103. The sum of the areas of the two baffle plates 104 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the feeding pipe 2. The top of the baffle plate 104 is in contact with the outside of the pipe orifice of the feeding pipe 2, which can prevent the leakage of the negative electrode powder;

[0031] Anti-blocking assembly. The anti-blocking assembly includes a hollow shaft 201 rotatably connected inside the feeding pipe 2. Stirring rods 202 are equidistantly and circumferentially fixedly connected to the outside of the hollow shaft 201. A connecting member is arranged inside the hollow shaft 201. Balls 203 are symmetrically and movably connected to the connecting member. A spiral groove 204 is formed in the inner wall of the hollow shaft 201 corresponding to the position of the balls 203. The balls 203 are adapted to the spiral groove 204.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation principle of a graphite anode powder feeding device is as follows: First, the anode powder is added into the feeding bin 1, and then the motor is started. The motor drives the disk 101 to rotate, so that the disk 101 can drive the connecting rod 102 to do circular motion. By using the movable cooperation between the connecting rod 102 and the strip-shaped frame 103 and the sliding cooperation between the guide rod 107 and the guide member 108, the strip-shaped frame 103 can be driven to do vertical reciprocating movement. And with the sliding cooperation between the baffle plate 104 and the slide rod 105 and the hinge cooperation between the baffle plate 104 and the strip-shaped frame 103 and the connecting rod 106, the two groups of baffle plates 104 can be driven to alternately approach and move away from each other, so as to automatically and repeatedly adjust the size of the discharge port of the feeding pipe 2, thus achieving the purpose of intermittent feeding. At the same time, when one side of the baffle plate 104 moves, it can also drive the cross bar 205 to move together. The movement of the cross bar 205 drives the movement of the ball 203. By using the cooperation between the ball 203 and the spiral groove 204 and the rotational cooperation of the hollow shaft 201, the hollow shaft 201 can be driven to rotate, so that the stirring rod 202 can be driven to rotate to stir the anode powder inside the feeding pipe 2, further preventing the anode powder from being blocked inside the feeding pipe 2. Finally, the anode powder will be intermittently discharged through the feeding pipe 2.
