TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a cooling device, especially a stirring cooling device for lithium iron phosphate kiln. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the vigorous development of new energy industry, lithium batteries are applied in various industries, and the demand is very large. There are various types of new energy lithium batteries, among which lithium iron phosphate batteries rapidly rise due to the performance advantages of long service life, safe use, fast charging and discharging, high temperature resistance, large capacity and the like. In the production process of lithium iron phosphate material, nitrogen protection is needed in the sintering process of the kiln to prevent oxidation, and the material after being discharged from the kiln needs to be cooled to below 150℃, otherwise the material after being discharged from the kiln is easy to be oxidized by oxygen in the air, and the oxidized material becomes red waste. The kiln itself has a cooling section, and the material in the sagger is cooled after passing through the cooling water, but the cooling effect is not good. Especially because the material is loaded in the sagger, the material around the sagger cools down faster, and the material in the middle cools down slower, the temperature is not uniform, in order to make the material around and in the sagger reach the discharge temperature, a long cooling time is needed, a large amount of cooling water is consumed, and the production cycle is prolonged, the production efficiency is reduced, and the production cost of the enterprise is increased.

[0005] Further, the material of the stirring rod, the rake head and the stirring teeth in the stirring assembly is a non-metallic material, such as ceramic. The high-temperature powder is prevented from generating metal particle foreign matters by rubbing with the stirring paddle, which affects the safety of the final battery.
[0006] Further, the rake head is provided with a triangular prism shape, the edges are upward, and the two sides are inclined planes.

The S-shaped stirring teeth allow the powder around the saggar to be extruded to the inside and the inside powder to be pushed to the outside. The internal material is high, and the external material is low in temperature. The cooling effect is better after mixing. While ensuring uniform stirring of the internal and external powder, the powder is given a downward force, further preventing the powder from overflowing the saggar during stirring.
[0007] Further, the stirring rod is provided with a rotation checking member for monitoring whether the stirring assembly is running normally. The rotation checking member includes a connecting block rotating with the stirring rod and a proximity switch for sensing whether the connecting block rotates. The proximity switch senses the rotation frequency of the stirring assembly within a unit time to determine whether the stirring assembly is running normally, discovers the stirring assembly failure in time, and ensures the stirring and cooling effect by timely maintenance. The motor is a step motor with adjustable speed, and the speed is 15-30 r / min to avoid high-speed rotation causing the material to fall outside the saggar. Each step motor is connected with a stirring paddle to ensure synchronous rotation of the stirring paddle. The upper part of the stirring paddle is provided with an angular contact bearing to reduce the rotation resistance of the stirring paddle and simultaneously serve as a fixing function to prevent the stirring shaft from shaking left and right.
[0008] Further, the alignment blocking component includes a blocking plate for adjusting the position of the saggar, a plurality of first guide rods penetrating the top wall of the kiln and connected with the blocking plate, and a first cylinder provided on the top of the kiln for driving the first guide rods to move up and down. The positioning and fixing component includes a mounting plate fixed on the outer shell of the kiln, a second guide rod penetrating the mounting plate, a pushing plate fixedly connected with the second guide rod, and a second cylinder provided on the mounting plate for driving the second guide rod to move left and right. The plurality of guide rods ensure that the blocking plate is smoothly driven by the cylinder to prevent collision on the saggar.
[0009] Further, a reinforcing plate is provided between the mounting plate and the outer shell of the kiln to prevent the side wall of the kiln from being deformed under stress. The side wall of the kiln is deformed after being stressed for 5 mm, and the reinforcing plate welded improves its strength.
[0010] Further, the contact surface of the blocking plate and the pushing plate with the saggar is provided with a high-temperature-resistant friction rubber gasket to prevent damage to the saggar during positioning and fixing and stirring.
[0011] Further, the first guide rod, the second guide rod and the stirring rod are provided with sealing rings between the stirring rod and the kiln for preventing material powder from drifting, and the sealing rings are provided with linear bearings at the upper part, which are used for fixing the first guide rod, the second guide rod and the stirring rod and have a certain guiding effect, and the linear bearings can reduce the resistance of the guide rod or the stirring rod during movement and further prevent the sagging of the saggar during stirring from causing damage to the saggar.
