[0002] In the production process of lithium battery pole piece coating, the slurry for coating is stored in a slurry barrel, and the slurry in the slurry barrel is gradually pumped to the die head to form a pole piece on the metal foil according to the progress of coating.

[0036] It needs to be further explained that the return pipe 2 is connected with the branch of the main pipe of the material conveying pipe 1 and the die head 101 through a three-way pipe 22, the branch is a transparent iron fluorine pipe 21, and the air in the die head 101 can be discharged into the return pipe 2 through the transparent iron fluorine pipe 21, so that the air in the die head 101 is quickly exhausted, the preparation time of the coating machine is reduced, and the production efficiency is improved.

Figures 1 to 4 Figure 6 The diaphragm pump 31 extracts the slurry in the hopper 103 into the recovery pipeline 3, and the Y-type filter 32 filters the slurry in the recovery pipeline 3.
[0042] It can be understood that in this way, the diaphragm pump 31 extracts the slurry in the hopper 103 into the recovery pipeline 3, and the slurry is pumped to the Y-type filter 32. When the slurry passes through the Y-type filter 32, the filtering elements inside the Y-type filter 32 will intercept and adsorb impurities, suspended solids and particulate matters in the liquid. The filtered slurry flows into the slurry barrel 102. The filtering elements are high-precision stainless steel filter screens or filter bags, which have high filtering efficiency and long service life.

The screw pump 15 drives the slurry to circulate and flow in the feed pipeline 1 and the return pipeline 2. The flow rate and pressure of the slurry in the pipeline are controlled by adjusting the rotating speed and flow of the screw pump 15.

[0051] It can be understood that, in this way, the mounting platform 6 is connected with the die head 101 through the material conveying pipeline 1, the backflow pipeline 2 and the recycling pipeline 3, the pipelines have a certain length, the pipeline connection positions are fixed by the quick mounting clamps 44, the pipelines are connected in a quick dismounting manner, the problem of pipeline blockage can be quickly solved to a certain extent, after the pipelines input the slurry, the quick mounting clamps 44 are easily pressed out of the gap, which causes the slurry to leak, and the bracket 65 is used to support the pipelines, so that the connection state of the pipelines is maintained, and the slurry leakage is avoided.
[0052] In order to better filter the slurry, in the embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the first filter 11 is a scraper filter, and the second filter 12 is a capsule filter.
[0053] It can be understood that, thusly arranged, the scraper filter is gradually accumulated with impurities on the surface of the filter screen inside with the elapse of the filtering time, resulting in the increase of the pressure difference, the scraper is moved on the surface of the filter screen and physically scrapes off the dirt attached on the filter screen, the scraper and the filter screen form an included angle, and the shear force is generated after the rotation of the included angle, the impurities of the filter screen are cut and removed, and are discharged out of the scraper filter with the blowdown valve; when the slurry passes through the bag filter, the particle impurities above the specific size in the slurry are captured and left in the filter bag, and the clean slurry flows out to the feed pipe 1 through the filter bag.
