[0002] With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection, alkaline batteries, as a green and low-pollution energy storage device, are gradually occupying an important position in the battery industry. The production process of their cathode materials typically involves a series of chemical reactions and powder processing techniques. While these processes effectively improve battery performance and stability, they also generate large amounts of dust and harmful gases during production. Improper handling of these wastes can not only threaten workers' health but also potentially cause environmental pollution.

[0003] The manufacturing process of cathode materials, especially in the processes of raw material preparation, mixing, grinding, and drying, easily generates a large amount of dust. This dust is suspended in the air and spreads to every corner of the workshop with airflow. Long-term accumulation can lead to dust hazards. Prolonged exposure to dust can cause respiratory diseases, skin allergies, and other occupational diseases. The impact of dust on employee health is particularly significant for potentially harmful chemical components in battery cathode materials, such as nickel and cobalt. Both gas emissions and dust pollution have a certain impact on the environment outside the factory. The lack of effective waste gas and dust control devices can lead to a decline in air quality and may violate environmental regulations, affecting the company's environmental compliance and social responsibility.

Specifically, a pump body (existing technology) is installed on the conveying pipe 5 to provide power. A weighing sensor 4 is installed on the feeding tank 1. Specifically, the weighing sensor 4 senses changes in the weight or force of the object and converts them into an electrical signal output, thereby measuring the weight of the electrolytic manganese and carbon powder. The feeding tank 1 also includes a stirring mechanism and a temperature control system. The stirring mechanism is used to stir the materials, and the temperature control system is used to ensure that the temperature of the materials is maintained within an ideal range during the stirring process to ensure product quality and avoid overheating or overcooling. The feeding hopper 1 is connected to the tableting and granulation machine 6 via the conveyor 24. Specifically, the tableting and granulation machine 6 adopts existing technology to convert powdered materials into granular materials through a tableting process, thereby facilitating subsequent processing, packaging, or use. A robotic arm 7 is set on one side of the tableting and granulation machine 6, and a vacuum suction cup 8 is set on the robotic arm 7. Specifically, the vacuum suction cup 8 is used to pick up the pressed material, and the robotic arm 7 moves it into the material drying box 9 for drying, with a dust-free process throughout. The process involves a material drying chamber 9 on one side of the robotic arm 7. Specifically, the material drying chamber 9 utilizes existing technology for drying materials. A PLC online control system 10, an activated carbon adsorption system 11, and a HEPA filtration system 12 are respectively installed on one side of the material drying chamber 9. Specifically, the PLC online control system 10 enables seamless connection between various processes, reducing manual intervention and the risk of material exposure. Both the activated carbon adsorption system 11 and the HEPA filtration system 12 utilize existing technology. The activated carbon adsorption system 11 utilizes the high surface area and porous structure of activated carbon to adsorb and remove harmful substances. The HEPA filtration system 12 is a high-efficiency particulate air filter. Particulate air filtration technology is mainly used to remove fine particulate matter from the air. The activated carbon adsorption system 11 is equipped with a dust collection pipe 13, which is used to collect dust and prevent environmental pollution. Both the activated carbon adsorption system 11 and the HEPA filter system 12 are equipped with an electromagnetic pulse system 14. The activated carbon adsorption system 11 and the HEPA filter system 12 are connected by a connecting pipe. Specifically, the electromagnetic pulse system 14 adopts existing technology and can be used to prevent external electromagnetic interference (EMI) from entering the production line equipment, thereby improving the reliability of the equipment, reducing electromagnetic interference, and improving battery safety.

[0019] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the feeding hopper 1 is further equipped with an electrical control and vacuum unit 15.

[0020] In this embodiment, the electronic control system is used to automate the production process and equipment. Sensors and actuators are used to ensure the stable operation of the system. The vacuum unit provides the required vacuum environment. In battery production, the electronic control system can automatically adjust the working state of the vacuum pump based on real-time sensor data to ensure the accuracy and stability of the vacuum level during the production process.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the stirring mechanism further includes a motor 16 and a stirring rod 17. The stirring rod 17 is disposed inside the feeding barrel 1, and the motor 16 is mounted on the outer wall of the feeding barrel 1.

[0023] Please see Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control system further includes a temperature sensor 18, a temperature controller 19, a heating system 20, and a cooling system 21.

[0024] In this embodiment, temperature sensor 18 monitors the temperature of the material inside the feeding hopper 1 and transmits the temperature data to temperature controller 19. This helps regulate the heating system 20 or cooling system 21. Temperature controller 19 ensures the temperature remains within a set range. Heating system 20 includes electric heaters, steam heating pipes, hot oil heaters, etc. Heating system 20 provides heat according to the instructions of temperature controller 19, raising the temperature of the material inside the feeding hopper 1.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the temperature control system further includes a temperature display 22 and an alarm 23.

[0028] In this embodiment, the temperature display 22 facilitates the operator to monitor the temperature and displays the current temperature value in real time; the alarm 23 will issue a warning signal when the temperature exceeds the set safety range, reminding the operator to take appropriate measures.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model:

[0030] During processing, the raw materials from the electrolytic manganese tank 2 and the carbon powder tank 3 are conveyed to the feeding tank 1 through the conveying pipe 5. The weighing sensor 4 senses the change in weight or force of the object and converts it into an electrical signal output, thereby measuring the weight of the electrolytic manganese and carbon powder. The stirring mechanism on the feeding tank 1 is used to stir the materials. The temperature control system is used to ensure that the temperature of the materials is maintained within an ideal range during the stirring process to ensure product quality and avoid overheating or overcooling. After stirring, the materials are conveyed to the tableting and granulation machine 6 through the conveyor 24. The tableting and granulation machine 6 transforms the powdered material into granular material through the tableting process, which facilitates subsequent processing, packaging, or use. After processing, The pressed material is sucked up by the vacuum suction cup 8 and moved into the material drying box 9 by the robotic arm 7 for drying. The entire process is dust-free. The PLC online control system 10 realizes seamless connection between each process, reducing manual intervention and material exposure risks. The activated carbon adsorption system 11 uses the high surface area and porous structure of activated carbon to adsorb and remove harmful substances and remove fine particulate matter in the air. The dust collection pipe 13 is used to collect dust to prevent environmental pollution. The electromagnetic pulse system 14 can be used to prevent external electromagnetic interference (EMI) from entering the production line equipment, thereby improving the reliability of the equipment, reducing electromagnetic interference, and improving battery safety.
