[0028] With the development of lithium battery technology, in order to save energy and improve production efficiency, lithium battery slurry is developing towards solvent-free or low-solvent direction. The solid content of the slurry is getting higher and higher, resulting in higher and higher viscosity. The existing circulating pulping system cannot adapt to ultra-high viscosity conditions, which restricts the function of the equipment and limits the application of this type of equipment in the field of lithium battery pulping.
[0029] In particular, the graphite slurry for the negative electrode of lithium batteries needs to be stirred under high viscosity conditions to fully wet the deionized water and graphite. The existing circulating pulping system can only adapt to pulping under a viscosity condition of 100,000cp, while the viscosity of the negative electrode pulping is 500,000cp~1,000,000cp. The existing circulating pulping system cannot meet the needs of negative electrode pulping, which seriously restricts the use of this equipment in negative electrode pulping.
[0030] After careful research, the applicant found that there are two main reasons why the existing circulating pulping system cannot handle high-solid content, high-viscosity slurry. On the one hand, the fluidity of high-solid content, high-viscosity slurry is poor, and the rotor pump as the next process equipment is prone to air suction risk. On the other hand, the circulation pipeline of the circulating pulping system is too long, resulting in large pipeline resistance, and the rotor pump is unable to transport high-solid content slurry.
[0031] The main purpose of the utility model is to propose a pulping device to solve the problem of how to design a circulating pulping system for high solid content and high viscosity working conditions.
[0032] See also Figure 1In one embodiment of the present invention, the pulping device 100 includes a circulation tank 1, a rotor pump 2, a pulping machine 3 and a stirring mechanism 4.

The first feed port 12 of the circulation tank 1 is located at the upper part or side of the circulation tank 1, which is more convenient for adding new slurry into the stirring chamber 11. The stirring mechanism 4 can rotate relative to the circulation tank 1, so that the slurry located at the upper part of the stirring chamber 11 can be pressed down to the bottom of the stirring chamber 11 under the action of its own gravity and the stirring mechanism 4, which is convenient for the slurry to flow out from the first discharge port 13 and is also convenient for the slurry to be effectively stirred, thereby ensuring the uniform mixing and processing of the slurry and improving the quality of the final product. The rotor pump 2 is used to transport the slurry in the circulation tank 1 to the pulper 3, and the pulper 3 is used to further process the slurry and transport the slurry to the circulation tank 1, thereby forming a slurry circulation path. Among them, the upper part of the rotor pump 2 is provided with a second feed port 211 and the lower part is provided with a second discharge port 212.

It can also reduce the flow distance of slurry with high solid content and high viscosity in the pipeline, speed up the circulation speed of the slurry, and improve the pulping efficiency. Reducing the pipeline connection can also reduce production costs and save installation space, making the entire pulping device 100 more compact and applicable to working environments with limited space, thereby improving the scope of application of the pulping device 100.

The first scraper 4132 and the second scraper 4133 are spaced apart along the outer periphery of the sleeve 4131. The first scraper 4132 and the second scraper 4133 are both inclined relative to the bottom wall of the stirring chamber 11, and the inclination directions of the first scraper 4132 and the second scraper 4133 are opposite. The first stirring member 412 can drive the first scraper 4132 and the second scraper 4133 to rotate relative to the bottom wall of the stirring chamber 11 to promote the movement of the slurry. To the first discharge port 13; specifically, the sleeve 4131 is sleeved on the outer wall of the first stirring member 412 to provide stable support for the first scraper 4132 and the second scraper 4133. The first scraper 4132 and the second scraper 4133 are spaced apart along the outer periphery of the sleeve 4131, and the inclination direction of the first scraper 4132 relative to the bottom wall of the stirring chamber 11 is opposite to the inclination direction of the second scraper 4133 relative to the bottom wall of the stirring chamber 11, so that the first scraper 4132 and the second scraper 4133 can push the slurry in the stirring chamber 11 toward the first discharge port 13 when rotating, thereby accelerating the circulation speed of the slurry and improving the pulping efficiency.
[0038] In this embodiment, a first angle is formed between the first scraper 4132 and the bottom wall of the stirring chamber 11, and a second angle is formed between the second scraper 4133 and the bottom of the stirring chamber 11. The first angle and the second angle are complementary in size, and the first angle is 30° to 60°.

[0039] In one embodiment, the stirring mechanism 4 also includes a high-speed stirring component 42, which includes a high-speed driving member 421 and a second stirring member 422 that are transmission-connected. At least part of the body of the second stirring member 422 extends into the stirring chamber 11, and the high-speed driving member 421 can drive the second stirring member 422 to rotate relative to the circulation tank 1 so that the slurry can move to the first discharge port 13; specifically, the high-speed driving member 421 drives the second stirring member 422 to rotate, which helps to better disperse the solid particles in the slurry and ensure the uniformity of the slurry, and the second stirring member 422 can achieve rapid mixing of the slurry in a short time, and can further push the slurry to the first discharge port 13, thereby improving the slurrying efficiency.

Specifically, the connecting sleeve 42221 is sleeved on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 4221 to provide stable support for the paddles 42222. The combination of the driving power of the paddles 42222 and the high-speed drive member 421 can improve the stirring efficiency and ensure that the slurry is evenly mixed in the stirring chamber 11.

Specifically, the tilted pulping machine 3 can make the third feed port 31 located at the lower part of the pulping machine 3. In this embodiment, the third feed port 31 is located at the lowest point of the pulping machine 3, which can shorten the distance between the second discharge port 212 and the third discharge port 31.

[0043] In addition, in this embodiment, a valve can be set on the second pipeline. By setting the valve, the flow rate of the slurry and powder in the second pipeline can be controlled to ensure that the slurry and powder flow at a predetermined rate, thereby accurately controlling the slurrying process.
[0044] In one embodiment, the third discharge port 32 is flush with the first feed port 12, and the height of the third discharge port 32 is higher than the height of the liquid level 14 in the circulation tank 1; specifically, since the first feed port 12 of the circulation tank 1 is located at the upper part or the side of the circulation tank 1, the pulping machine 3 can be tilted and arranged at the upper part or the side of the circulation tank 1, thereby greatly shortening the length of the second pipeline 6; in this embodiment, the third discharge port 32 is flush with the first feed port 12, so that the second pipeline 6 can be a straight pipe structure, reducing the number of elbows in the pipeline. , which helps to maintain the continuity and uniformity of the slurry flow, reduces the pressure loss caused by height difference, can reduce the energy consumption required by the rotor pump 2 to transport slurry with high solid content and high viscosity, is more convenient for the circulation of slurry, and improves the pulping efficiency; the height of the third discharge port 32 is higher than the height of the liquid level 14 in the circulation tank 1, which can ensure that the slurry flows out smoothly from the pulping machine 3 and avoid the difficulty of discharging due to the pressure of the liquid level 14, and also helps to prevent the liquid in the circulation tank 1 from flowing back in the pipeline, thereby improving the safety of the pulping device 100.
[0045] In one embodiment, the inner diameter of the first discharge port 13 is gradually expanded in a direction away from the second feed port 211; specifically, the first discharge port 13 is gradually expanded from bottom to top, which helps to reduce the flow resistance of the slurry at the first discharge port 13, improve the flow characteristics of the slurry, and enable the slurry to flow smoothly and orderly into the second feed port 211, thereby increasing the flow speed of the slurry.
[0046] In one embodiment, the first discharge port 13 is located at the bottom of the stirring chamber 11; or, the first discharge port 13 is located on the side wall of the stirring chamber 11 and is positioned near the bottom of the circulation tank 1. Specifically, when the first discharge port 13 is located at the bottom of the stirring chamber 11, it helps reduce slurry sedimentation, allowing the slurry to be more thoroughly discharged from the first discharge port 13 by its own gravity.
