Graphite particles are known for their unique layered structure, high conductivity, high thermal stability, and excellent self-lubrication. During the production process, the purity, size distribution, and uniformity of graphite particles have a decisive impact on the performance of the final product.
[0003] Graphite particles from different batches or sources may contain different impurities or composition ratios. Blending ensures the consistency of the final product. Graphite particles of different sizes can be evenly distributed to meet the particle size distribution requirements of specific applications.
[0004] The existing mixing of graphite particles mainly adopts the following methods: using a stirrer to rotate in a container, and the graphite particles are evenly mixed through the shearing and pushing effects of the stirring blades; using airflow to suspend the graphite particles and move them with the airflow, and mixing is achieved through the turbulence of the airflow.
[0005] Traditional mechanical stirring methods have difficulty ensuring mixing efficiency and uniformity when processing graphite particles with large particle size differences or high viscosity. Although air flow mixing can achieve better mixing effects, it consumes more energy and has higher costs. Utility Model Content

[0031] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integrated structures. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of such terms in this patent based on specific circumstances.
[0033] As shown in Figures , , and , the raw material mixing and molding equipment of the present utility model includes a frame, a mixing box and a material discharge chute located below the mixing box are mounted on the frame; a feeding port and a material discharge port are reserved on the mixing box, a mixing mechanism is arranged in the mixing box, and a detachable material plate is also installed along the material discharge port of the mixing box;
[0034] The discharge chute is tilted downward along the discharge end, and comprises a chute body and a filter plate mounted on the chute body; when the mixed raw materials are discharged along the filter plate, small particles of impurities in the raw materials fall into the chute body for separation.
[0035] Raw material input and mixing: Raw materials enter the mixing box through the feed port on the mixing box, and are then fully mixed by the mixing mechanism to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the raw materials.
[0036] Controlled feeding: After mixing, the raw materials are discharged through the mixing box's discharge port. A removable feed plate is installed at the discharge port to control the feeding process. The feed plate can be adjusted or replaced as needed to meet different feeding requirements.
[0037] Initial filtration and separation: The raw materials flow downward along the trough. As they pass through the filter plates mounted on the trough, the plates utilize their mesh structure to perform a preliminary filtration. Small impurities in the raw materials, smaller than the plate mesh, pass through the plates and fall into the trough below, separating the raw materials from the impurities.
[0038] In one embodiment, the mixing box's discharge port is equipped with a stop rail that slidably engages with the material plate. After mixing, the raw materials need to be discharged through the discharge port. To flexibly control the discharge process and adapt to different processing requirements, the discharge port is equipped with a removable material plate. To ensure the stability and accuracy of the material plate during removal and installation, the discharge port is also equipped with a stop rail that slidably engages with the material plate. The stop rail provides a fixed sliding path for the material plate, making installation and removal more convenient and preventing it from deviating from its position.
[0039] In addition, a handle is provided on the outside of the sheet, which provides a point of force for the operator to operate the sheet easily without having to directly touch the sheet itself, thereby improving the safety and convenience of the operation.
[0040] As an embodiment, the mixing mechanism includes:
[0041] A transmission shaft 1 rotatably arranged at the center of the mixing box;
[0042] A stirring blade is arranged outside the transmission shaft;
[0043] A motor drive component for driving a transmission shaft.
[0044] The mixing mechanism is the core component of raw material mixing. It consists of a drive shaft (1) rotatably mounted in the center of the mixing chamber, a stirring blade mounted outside of the drive shaft, and a motor driver that drives the drive shaft. The motor driver drives the stirring blade through the drive shaft to rotate within the mixing chamber. The rotation of the stirring blade shears, pushes, and flips the raw materials, achieving uniform mixing.
[0045] In addition, the frame is also equipped with a guide wheel that supports the trough body and a swing arm hinged to the bottom of the trough body; the frame is also provided with a transmission shaft 2 that is connected to the motor drive component, and the transmission shaft 2 is equipped with a cam connected to the swing arm.
[0046] When the motor drive is operating, it not only drives the mixing mechanism to mix, but also drives the cam to rotate through transmission shaft 2. The cam's rotational motion is converted into a swinging or tilting motion of the trough body through the swing arm. This motion helps to promote uniform distribution of raw materials on the filter plate and rapid material discharge, and may also help improve filtration effect and separation efficiency.
[0047] Specifically, the motor drive component includes:
[0048] A pulley 1 is provided on a transmission shaft 1;
[0049] A second pulley is provided on the second transmission shaft, and the second pulley is connected to the first pulley via a transmission belt;
[0050] The motor is mounted on the frame, and the output end of the motor is connected to the pulley through a transmission belt.
[0051] The motor is mounted on the frame, its output connected via a drive belt to pulley 1 on drive shaft 1. When the motor starts, its rotational power is transmitted via the drive belt to pulley 1, which in turn rotates drive shaft 1. This rotation drives the external stirring blades, achieving uniform mixing of the raw materials within the mixing chamber.
[0052] In one embodiment, a hopper is positioned along one side of the feed end of the trough, with the feed direction of the hopper staggered with the feed direction of the filter plates. This staggered feed direction helps optimize the flow path of the raw materials, reducing accumulation and clogging on the filter plates, thereby improving feed efficiency and filtration effectiveness. Furthermore, the hopper guides the filtered raw materials into the next process in an orderly manner, maintaining smooth production line operation.
[0053] The mixing mechanism also includes multiple limiting rods positioned below the mixing blades, arranged continuously and equidistantly along the direction of rotation of the mixing blades. These limiting rods assist in mixing and prevent excessive accumulation of the raw materials, helping to break up large lumps and promote uniform mixing.
[0054] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprising" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements that are not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention.
[0056] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
