Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium battery anode material production, in particular to an efficient discharging mechanism for anode material production. Background Art

[0002] The production of lithium batteries is inseparable from artificial graphite. Graphitization is a key process in the production of artificial graphite, mainly using thermal activation to realize the orderly transformation of thermodynamically unstable carbon atoms from a disordered layer structure to a graphite crystal structure. At present, the industry adopts the production process of Acheson box-type graphitization furnace. At present, the method of collecting the powder in the furnace body is that workers hold the suction pipe and go down into the furnace to suck the powder. This method requires waiting until the powder cools to a temperature that workers can bear before taking the material. However, when the discharging temperature is below 100°C, the product quality is low, and the waiting process for cooling reduces the production efficiency of the product. The labor intensity during the material taking process is also relatively high, further reducing the overall output of the product. In view of this, we have designed an efficient discharging mechanism. Content of the Utility Model

[0016] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: an efficient discharging mechanism for the production of negative electrode materials, including a longitudinal walking module 3, the longitudinal walking module 3 is installed on a first track 2 arranged along the longitudinal direction on the edge of the furnace body 1, a second track 4 is arranged on the longitudinal walking module 3, the second track 4 is perpendicular to the first track 2, a transverse walking module 5 is installed on the second track 4, a moving frame 6 is installed on the transverse walking module 5, an installation platform 7 is arranged at the bottom of the moving frame 6, a telescopic pipe 9 is arranged on the installation platform 7, an installation plate 10 is arranged at the top of the moving frame 6, a suction pipe 8 is arranged on the installation plate 10, the suction pipe 8 is connected to the telescopic pipe 9, the suction pipe 8 is connected to an external suction hose, the mouth of the telescopic pipe 9 moves in the furnace body 1, and an external suction machine realizes the suction purpose through a connected pipeline;

[0017] Among them, the telescopic pipe 9 is nested and connected with the suction pipe 8, and a limiting ring 14 surrounding the telescopic pipe 9 is arranged on the installation platform 7 to limit the telescopic pipe 9 to move only straight up and down. Cooperating with the limiting protrusions at both ends of the telescopic pipe 9, it is avoided that the telescopic pipe 9 disengages from the installation platform 7 at the upper and lower limit positions;

[0018] A hoist 15 is installed on the moving frame 6, and the end of the cable 16 of the hoist 15 is connected to the bottom of the telescopic pipe 9. By controlling the length of the cable 16 of the hoist 15, the up and down movement of the telescopic pipe 9 can be controlled. Cooperating with the longitudinal walking module 3 and the transverse walking module 5, the suction port at the bottom of the telescopic pipe 9 can be controlled to be at any position in the furnace body 1 to suck the powder in the furnace body 1;

[0019] There is another scheme for driving the telescopic pipe 9 to move, that is, a rack 11 is arranged outside the telescopic pipe 9, a motor 13 and a supporting speed reducer 12 are arranged on the installation platform 7, the rack 11 is meshed with the output gear of the speed reducer 12. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation and the number of rotation circles of the motor 13, cooperating with the longitudinal walking module 3 and the transverse walking module 5, the suction port at the bottom of the telescopic pipe 9 can be controlled to be at any position in the furnace body 1 to suck the powder in the furnace body 1;

If the distance data is the distance between the floor of the furnace body 1 and the distance sensor, it is determined that the quantity of the powder material is 0 at this time. Then, the positions of the telescopic pipe 9 in the furnace body 1 are changed by controlling the longitudinal traveling module 3 and the lateral traveling module 5. If the detected distance data is less than the distance between the floor of the furnace body 1 and the distance sensor, it is determined that there is material.

By repeating this process, all the powder materials in the furnace body 1 can be sucked up.
