[0002] Currently, among sodium-ion battery anode materials, biomass hard carbon materials are widely available, have simple synthesis processes, are environmentally friendly and renewable, and have certain economic benefits, making them a high-quality carbon source for sodium-ion battery anode materials.

[0003] In the air jet milling process, to meet production capacity requirements, powder materials are graded and conveyed. Larger-sized classifying wheels and air conveying devices are usually used to increase the powder flow rate. However, in existing preparation processes, large-sized classifying wheels often vibrate due to uneven material and wear during operation, which exacerbates the wear of their guide rails. This results in uneven particle size distribution in the powder classification, poor product consistency, and excessive current in the separator motor, leading to decreased processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention aims to propose a highly efficient and stable grading wheel structure that ensures the stability of the grading wheel during high-frequency operation, extends its service life, improves production efficiency, and guarantees grading effectiveness, thereby enhancing the consistency of product particle size.

[0023] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] The existing tiered wheel mechanism has the following defects:

[0026] Prolonged operation of the classifier wheel leads to localized wear on the blades, resulting in a shift in the center of gravity.

[0027] After the center of gravity of the grading wheel shifts, continued operation is prone to abnormal vibration of the grading wheel, causing wear on the grading wheel guide rail, increasing the guide rail clearance, further aggravating the vibration during grading operation, and significantly reducing the service life of the grading wheel;

[0028] Generally, a center of gravity test needs to be performed before the classifier is put into use. If necessary, adjustment blocks are welded onto the classifier blades. Adjusting the center of gravity is difficult and affects the classifier efficiency. Changing the gap between the classifier blades will affect the particle size consistency of the classified products.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Based on the above technical deficiencies, see Figure 1-5 A highly efficient and stable grading wheel structure includes a grading wheel body 1, and a conical counterweight 2 is installed on the bottom of the grading wheel body 1. The center of gravity of the conical counterweight 2 is consistent with the rotation axis of the grading wheel body 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, a conical counterweight is installed on the bottom of the grading wheel body. The center of gravity of the conical counterweight is consistent with the rotation axis of the grading wheel body, thereby improving the stability of the grading wheel when running at high speed.

[0032] In a specific example, the conical counterweight 2 is a cone or frustum structure.

[0033] In a specific example, the cone or frustum structure is a solid structure, and its overall height does not exceed 1 / 3 of the height of the graded wheel body 1.

[0034] To ensure that the powder material can smoothly enter the classifying wheel through the feed gap of the blades, and that the counterweight does not affect the classification effect, the side of the cone can be designed with a smooth concave surface; the overall height of the cone or frustum structure generally does not exceed 1 / 3 of the total height of the classifying wheel.

[0035] In a specific example, the grading wheel body 1 includes an annular guide plate 10 and a lower baffle plate 11. The conical counterweight 2 is installed on the lower baffle plate 11 by screws. The upper end face of the conical counterweight 2 and the lower end face of the annular guide plate 10 are both provided with a plurality of blade grooves 3. The blade grooves 3 on the upper end face of the conical counterweight 2 and the lower end face of the annular guide plate 10 are used to fix the grading blades 12.

[0036] It should be noted that the lower baffle plate in this embodiment serves to prevent particles from entering the classifying wheel (preventing materials that do not meet the particle size requirements from entering the classifying wheel from below); there are feed gaps between adjacent classifying blades. When the classifying wheel is running at high speed, the airflow generated by the rotation of the blades can block the powder on the outside of the blade tails. Negative pressure is applied above the annular guide plate, so that the powder material enters the discharge pipe through the feed gaps of the classifying blades under centrifugal screening (the discharge pipe is set above the annular guide plate, and the negative pressure is used to guide the material that meets the particle size requirements suspended inside the classifying wheel into the next process through the discharge pipe); the conical counterweight can play a role in balancing the center of gravity when the classifying wheel is running at high frequency.

[0037] In a specific example, the annular guide plate 10 is provided with a guide rail 101 at its top edge and a slot 102 at its center.

[0038] The guide rail in this embodiment is used to provide a limiting track that matches the running trajectory of the grading wheel. The slot structure can be connected to the motor drive shaft to drive the grading wheel to rotate at high speed, thereby improving the stability of the grading wheel structure.

[0039] In practice, there can be multiple slots; these are used to connect with the motor drive shaft and ensure the stability of the connection with the motor drive shaft during the operation of the grader wheel.

[0040] In a specific example, the spacing between adjacent grading blades 12 is 45-55 mm.

[0041] In this embodiment, the spacing between adjacent grading blades is 45-55mm, ensuring that the size of the feed gap is appropriate and conducive to the screening of powder of suitable particle size in conjunction with the rotation speed of the grading wheel. If the feed gap is too large, it is not conducive to the screening and grading of powder of the target particle size; if the feed gap is too small, it is not conducive to the powder product passing through, which affects the production efficiency.

[0042] In a specific example, the blade groove has a depth of 25-35 mm, a width of 4-6 mm, and a length of 5-8 mm.

[0043] This embodiment ensures the stability of the graded blades after installation by limiting the size of the blade grooves.

[0044] In a specific example, the surface of the conical counterweight 2 is a smooth surface.

[0045] The conical counterweight in this embodiment has a smooth surface, which can reduce air resistance during equipment operation, ensure airflow conveying of powder of appropriate particle size, and avoid material residue affecting the screening of powder of appropriate particle size.

[0046] In a specific example, the material of the conical counterweight 2 is the same as the base material of the graded wheel body 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the material of the conical counterweight is the same as the base material of the grading wheel, which can ensure that no other impurity elements are introduced during the grading process.

[0048] In a specific example, the conical counterweight 2 is a counterweight made of metal, ceramic, or a combination of metal and ceramic.

[0049] The conical counterweight in this embodiment is made of metal (SUS304, SUS316, SUS440, high manganese steel, carbon steel), ceramic (alumina, zirconium oxide, tungsten carbide), or a combination of the above. High manganese steel is generally selected, and surface treatments can be performed, including tungsten carbide coating (0.15-0.2mm) and surface nitriding. The selection of high-strength materials can extend the service life and reduce maintenance costs.

[0050] In summary, this embodiment improves the stability of the classifying wheel at high speeds by adding a conical counterweight structure to adjust the center of gravity of the large-size classifying wheel, concentrating it on the central axis of the classifying wheel. It also prevents the center of gravity from shifting due to localized wear of the blades caused by prolonged operation, thus avoiding abnormal vibrations during classifying wheel operation and extending its service life. Furthermore, it increases the upper limit of the classifying wheel's operating frequency, broadens the range of particle size selection for the current process, improves classification efficiency, and ultimately increases production capacity. Finally, it stabilizes the classification current, preventing excessive load on the equipment and improving product particle size uniformity.

[0051] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the motor drives the classifying wheel to rotate at high speed in the classifying housing (the speed can be adjusted arbitrarily), a strong centrifugal force is generated in the classifier. The air-powder mixture entering the classifier first enters the inside of the classifying wheel. Under the action of centrifugal force, large or heavy particles are subjected to greater centrifugal force and are thus thrown to the outer periphery of the classifying wheel to the side wall of the classifier. They are no longer affected by centrifugal force and naturally fall into the crushing host for further crushing or fall to the discharge port for collection. Small or light materials are subjected to less centrifugal force and are suspended inside the classifying wheel. They are carried to a higher position by the induced draft of the fan and move along the pipeline to the next component for classification or collection. The magnitude of the centrifugal force in the classifier can be adjusted by frequency conversion adjustment of the speed of the classifying wheel. Due to the setting of the conical counterweight, the classifying wheel runs stably, thereby achieving the purpose of separating materials of a specified particle size.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
