[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, the demand for high-energy-density batteries is growing. In fields such as portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems, batteries are needed to store more energy in a smaller volume. As an important type of battery, nickel-metal hydride cylindrical batteries are also developing towards higher energy density.

[0003] Since some material may remain on the inner wall of the mixing machine's container and the agitator after use, this residual material may mix into the new material during the next mixing process, causing cross-contamination. This is especially true in the production of high-energy-density nickel-metal hydride cylindrical batteries, where the composition and proportion of materials from different batches are strictly required. Even trace amounts of cross-contamination can affect the quality and performance of the batteries. Existing technologies do not have the function of automatically cleaning the inner wall of the container. Therefore, we propose a mixing machine for processing high-energy-density nickel-metal hydride cylindrical batteries. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mixing machine for processing high-energy-density nickel-metal hydride cylindrical batteries, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mixing machine for processing high-energy-density nickel-metal hydride cylindrical batteries, characterized in that it comprises:

[0006] Mixing cylinder and a feed pipe fixedly connected to the top of the mixing cylinder;

[0007] A cleaning component is placed at the top of a mixing cylinder. The cleaning component includes a slider disposed at the top of the mixing cylinder.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a stirring assembly is provided inside the mixing cylinder. The stirring assembly includes a housing, a second motor is provided inside the housing, a fixed rod is rotatably connected inside the mixing cylinder, and a stirring rod is provided on the fixed rod.

[0012] The above technical solution, by setting up a stirring component, can quickly and evenly mix the materials, ensuring thorough mixing.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the mixing cylinder is fitted with a heating wire, and a temperature sensor is installed on the mixing cylinder.

[0014] The above technical solution allows for real-time monitoring of the internal temperature by setting a temperature sensor, ensuring a constant internal temperature, while the heating wire can heat the interior.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a support assembly is provided on the mixing cylinder near the bottom. The support assembly includes a bracket, which is sleeved on the mixing cylinder, and a support leg is provided at the bottom of the bracket.

[0016] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting up support components, the mixing cylinder is supported and fixed to prevent shaking during the mixing process.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, a discharge assembly is provided at the bottom of the mixing cylinder. The discharge assembly includes a discharge pipe, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder, and a solenoid valve is provided on the discharge pipe.

[0020] The above technical solution is adopted: by setting up a discharge component, the mixed solution is discharged from the discharge pipe for collection and processing.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In this invention, a cleaning component is installed to automatically scrape off residual material from the inner wall of the mixing cylinder after the mixing process is completed. During the scraping process, a spray component cleans the inner wall, solving the problem that some material may remain on the inner wall of the mixing machine container and the stirring paddle after use. When mixing is carried out again, this residual material may be mixed into the new material, causing cross-contamination. This is especially problematic in the production of high-energy-density nickel-metal hydride cylindrical batteries, where the composition and ratio of different batches of materials are strictly required. Even a small amount of cross-contamination can affect the quality and performance of the battery. Existing technologies do not have the function of automatically cleaning the inner wall of the container. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a mixing machine for processing high-energy-density nickel-metal hydride cylindrical batteries, comprising:

[0037] Mixing cylinder 1, and a feed pipe 2 fixedly connected to the top of mixing cylinder 1;

[0038] Cleaning component 4 is placed on top of mixing cylinder 1. Cleaning component 4 includes a slider 41 set on top of mixing cylinder 1. A groove 42 is opened on the side of top of mixing cylinder 1 near slider 41. A lead screw 43 is rotatably connected in the groove 42. A first motor is set on the lead screw 43. Slider 41 is threadedly connected to lead screw 43. A connecting rod 44 is connected to slider 41. A sliding rod 45 is connected to connecting rod 44. A connection port is opened on top of mixing cylinder 1. The sliding rod 45 is slidably connected in the connection port. A scraper 46 is set at one end of sliding rod 45 inside mixing cylinder 1. There are two cleaning components 4. The two cleaning components 4 are respectively located on both sides of mixing cylinder 1. The lead screw 43 is set inside the other groove 42. Slider 41 is slidably connected in the groove 42.

[0039] Spray assembly 5 is placed on mixing cylinder 1. Spray assembly 5 includes a conduit 51 fixedly connected to mixing cylinder 1. One end of conduit 51 located inside mixing cylinder 1 is connected to a nozzle 52.

[0040] Specifically, after the mixing process is completed, the first motor is turned on to drive the lead screw 43 to rotate in the slide groove 42. The lead screw 43 drives the slider 41 to slide in the slide groove 42. Then the slider 41 drives the connecting rod 44 to move. The connecting rod 44 drives the sliding rod 45 to slide and rise in the connection port, thereby driving the scraper 46 to scrape off the residual material on the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 1. During the scraping process, the water source connected to the conduit 51 cleans the inside of the mixing cylinder 1 through the nozzle 52.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown: A stirring assembly 3 is provided inside the mixing cylinder 1. The stirring assembly 3 includes a housing 31. A second motor is provided inside the housing 31. A fixed rod 32 is rotatably connected inside the mixing cylinder 1. A stirring rod 33 is provided on the fixed rod 32. When the second motor is turned on, the fixed rod 32 is driven to rotate. The fixed rod 32 drives the stirring rod 33 to stir and mix the solution inside.

[0042] The above solutions also have the problem that uneven temperature inside mixing cylinder 1 during the mixing process can affect the mixing effect. Figure 2 As shown: The outer wall of the mixing cylinder 1 is fitted with an electric heating wire 8, and a temperature sensor is installed on the mixing cylinder 1. By setting the temperature sensor, the internal temperature can be detected in real time, so that the internal temperature is always kept constant. The electric heating wire 8 can heat the inside.

[0043] The above solutions also have the problem that mixing cylinder 1 will shake and vibrate during the stirring process, and the solution may cause parts to loosen, such as... Figure 1 As shown: A support assembly 6 is provided on the mixing cylinder 1 near the bottom. The support assembly 6 includes a bracket 61, which is sleeved on the mixing cylinder 1. The bottom of the bracket 61 is provided with support legs 62. There are four support legs 62, and each of the four support legs 62 is provided with a rubber pad 7. By setting up the support assembly 6, the mixing cylinder 1 is supported and fixed to prevent shaking during the mixing process. By setting up the rubber pad 7, the vibration generated by the mixing cylinder 1 during the mixing process can be absorbed.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown: A discharge assembly 9 is provided at the bottom of the mixing cylinder 1. The discharge assembly 9 includes a discharge pipe 91, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder 1. A solenoid valve 92 is provided on the discharge pipe 91. By setting the discharge assembly 9, the mixed solution is discharged from the discharge pipe 91 for collection and processing.

[0045] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the material is poured into the mixing cylinder 1 through the feed pipe 2. Then, the second motor is turned on to drive the fixed rod 32 to rotate. The fixed rod 32 drives the stirring rod 33 to stir and mix the solution inside. During the mixing process, a temperature sensor can detect the internal temperature in real time to keep the internal temperature constant. The heating wire 8 can heat the inside to keep it at a constant temperature. After the mixing is completed, the first motor is turned on to drive the lead screw 43 to rotate in the slide groove 42. The lead screw 43 drives the slider 41 to slide in the slide groove 42. The slider 41 then drives the connecting rod 44 to move, and the connecting rod 44 drives the sliding rod 45 to slide and rise within the connection port, thereby driving the scraper 46 to scrape off the residual material on the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 1. During the scraping process, the water source connected to the conduit 51 cleans the inside of the mixing cylinder 1 through the nozzle 52. The mixing cylinder 1 is supported and fixed by the support component 6 to prevent shaking during the mixing process. The rubber pad 7 can absorb the vibration generated by the mixing cylinder 1 during the stirring process. Finally, the solenoid valve 92 is opened to discharge the mixed solution from the discharge pipe 91 for collection and processing.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced.
