The inner ring of the surrounding column 201 is provided with a main shaft 102, and the bottom of the surrounding column 201 is provided with a second star-shaped plate 202. The six-claw connecting ring 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second star-shaped plate 202, and the bottom of the six-claw connecting ring 203 is provided with a slotted ring 204.

The main body of the slotted chassis 206 is provided with a third straight groove 2061 in an annular array. By setting up the mixing mechanism 2, the battery slurry liquid flow direction has not only horizontal rotational movement, but also vertical rotational movement. The overall performance is that the battery slurry liquid has a spiral upward mixing and stirring effect when mixing. The horizontal rotation stirring mainly causes the slurry to generate flow and shear force in the transverse plane, which can promote the full diffusion and mixing of different components in the horizontal direction. After the well-mixed slurry is applied to the electrode current collector, it can form a more uniform electrode coating. The vertical stirring helps the binder in the slurry to better play its role in the vertical direction, enhancing the bonding force between the active material and the current collector.
[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes that a first straight groove 2021 is opened on the plate body of the second star-shaped plate 202, and a second straight groove 2041 is opened on the ring body of the slotted ring 204 in an oblique direction.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment also proposes that a sealed bearing sleeve 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the surround column 201, the bottom of the sealed bearing sleeve 103 is fixedly connected to the column body of the surround column 201, the outer ring of the sealed bearing sleeve 103 is fixedly plugged with a first star-shaped plate 1031, and the end of the first star-shaped plate 1031 is fixedly connected to the interior of the main tube 1.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-4 Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment also proposes welding the bottom end of the main shaft 102 and the inner ring of the sealed bearing sleeve 103. The sealed bearing sleeve 103 is composed of a bearing outer sleeve connecting ring, and the connecting ring of the outer ring of the sealed bearing sleeve 103 is plugged into the first star-shaped plate 1031.
[0034] Reference Figures 1-4Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes that a scraping mechanism 3 located inside the main cylinder 1 is provided on the shaft body of the main shaft 102, and the scraping mechanism 3 includes a connecting disk 301, and the connecting disk 301 is fixedly connected to the shaft body of the main shaft 102. The outer ring of the connecting disk 301 is provided with a transverse scraping plate 302, and the outer ring side of the transverse scraping plate 302 is fixedly connected to an oblique scraping plate 303. By setting the scraping mechanism 3, the solid powder on the inner wall of the container can be continuously scraped and dropped onto the liquid when the battery slurry is fed. At the same time, it can prevent the accumulation of solid powder or particles on the top of the liquid surface. When there is no scraping mechanism 3, the solid powder adhering to the inner wall may be wasted in the subsequent production process, or cause environmental pollution when cleaning the container. Through scraping, these powders are recovered to the maximum extent, the utilization rate of raw materials is improved, and the production cost is reduced. The scraping mechanism 3 prevents the accumulation of solid powder or particles on the top of the liquid surface, so that the solid components can be more evenly dispersed in the liquid. During the stirring process, this uniform distribution helps to improve the mixing efficiency and reduce the mixing time.
[0035] Reference Figures 1-4 Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes that a fourth straight groove 3021 in a linear array is provided on the horizontal scraping plate 302, and a fifth straight groove 3031 in a linear array is provided on the oblique scraping plate 303. During the rotation of the scraping mechanism 3, the oblique scraping plate 303 can scrape the solid particles or powder substances on the liquid surface, and can scrape off the adhesive substances attached to the inner wall of the main cylinder 1 and let them fall on the liquid surface, and the fifth straight groove 3031 of the horizontal scraping plate 302 can allow some solid powder to pass through, and will not allow the solid to re-accumulate on the liquid surface.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-4 Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes that a cover plate 101 is clamped on the top edge of the main tube 1, and the main shaft 102 is movably inserted at the center of the cover plate 101. A quick release mechanism 4 is provided on the top of the cover plate 101. The quick release mechanism 4 includes a key shaft 401. The key shaft 401 and the top end of the main shaft 102 are connected by a movable insertion shaft. One side of the key shaft 401 is provided with a mounting bracket 404 fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 101. The key shaft 401 can be removed, so that the cover plate 101 can be removed together with the quick release mechanism 4 without any obstruction from components.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-4Based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes that a servo motor 405 is provided on the top of the mounting frame 404, the housing of the servo motor 405 is connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame 404, the rotating shaft of the servo motor 405 is provided with a driving gear 406 through a connecting shaft, the top of the key shaft 401 is provided with a connecting frustum 402, the top of the connecting frustum 402 is provided with a passive gear 403, and the passive gear 403 is meshed with the active gear.
[0038] Specifically, the working process or working principle of the solid oxide fuel cell slurry mixing device is as follows: when in use, the servo motor 405 is driven, and under the transmission action of the meshing relationship between the active gear and the passive gear 403, the key shaft 401 is linked to the main shaft 102 to rotate. At this time, the main shaft 102 drives the transverse scraping plate 302 and the oblique scraping plate 303 to rotate. During the rotation process, since the main shaft 102 and the sealed bearing sleeve 103 are in a relative relationship with the inner and outer rings of the bearing, the main shaft 102 can rotate freely and will not fall off. During the rotation of the scraping mechanism 3, the oblique scraping plate 303 can scrape the solid particles or powder substances on the liquid surface, and can scrape off the adhesive substances attached to the inner wall of the main cylinder 1 and let them fall on the liquid surface, and the fifth straight groove 3031 of the transverse scraping plate 302 can make some solid The powder passes through without allowing the solid to re-accumulate on the liquid surface. At this time, the flow action inside the liquid is that the obliquely arranged solid inclined plate 2051 will allow the liquid on the top of the slotted ring 204 to enter the slotted ring 204 through the six-claw connecting ring 203. Part of this liquid is discharged outward from the second straight groove 2041 of the slotted ring 204, and the other part flows out from the bottom of the third straight groove 2061 of the slotted bottom plate 206. Since the water flow at the inner circle of the slotted ring 204 has a downward flow, the water flow at the outer circle of the slotted ring 204 flows upward. This process will also drive the liquid flowing out from the lower part of the slotted bottom plate 206 to flow upward. In summary, the liquid flow direction in the main barrel 1 not only has horizontal rotation movement, but also vertical rotation movement. The comprehensive performance is that the liquid of the battery slurry has a spiral upward mixing and stirring effect when mixing.
