Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the production technology field of lithium battery negative electrode material, specifically to high permeability furnace compartment structure for negative electrode material production. BACKGROUND

[0002] The production of lithium battery cannot leave artificial graphite. Graphitization is the key process of artificial graphite production, mainly using thermal activation to realize the ordered conversion of carbon atoms from disordered layer structure to graphite crystal structure. The graphite powder after graphitization needs to be cooled before discharging. The original process relies on the natural cooling of heat preservation material to sequentially grab all the heat preservation material to leak out the cover plate to make the powder product naturally cool down. This cooling process needs about 50-60 days, so the furnace turnover rate is low, which further reduces the production capacity. One of the reasons for the low cooling efficiency is the poor permeability of the furnace compartment of the furnace body. Based on this, we improved the furnace compartment structure to have high permeability to improve the cooling efficiency of the material. SUMMARY

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a high permeability furnace compartment structure for negative electrode material production, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a high permeability furnace compartment structure for negative electrode material production, including furnace wall and electrode strip at four corners thereof, through holes are arranged in the middle of the two longer furnace walls, a gas permeable pipe is arranged in the through hole, and a communication pipe is detachably arranged between the two gas permeable pipes at the corresponding positions on the two furnace walls.

[0005] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the number of through holes arranged in the middle of the furnace wall is 3-5, and the distance between adjacent two through holes is consistent.

[0006] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, the gas permeable pipe is made of stainless steel, and the pipe wall thickness is not less than 2mm.

[0007] As a preferred technical scheme of the utility model, a sealing cover is arranged at one end of the gas permeable pipe on the outside of the furnace compartment.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that: the high permeability furnace compartment structure for negative electrode material production is improved based on the existing furnace compartment structure, the improvement cost is low, the time required for material cooling can be effectively reduced, the operation is simple and convenient, and it can be well adapted to the existing furnace loading process. Since the negative electrode material temperature is above 300℃, the specific surface area will be oxidized when contacting air. This non-contact air cooling mode avoids the risk of material oxidation by contacting air and is suitable for intervening cooling between 280℃ and 1200℃, which shortens the natural cooling period of the material.

[0011] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0012] Please refer to Figure 1 The utility model provides a kind of technical scheme: a high gas permeability furnace compartment structure for negative electrode material production, including furnace wall 1 and the electrode strip 2 of four corners thereof, the middle part of two longer pieces of furnace wall 1 is provided with through hole, and the number of through hole is 3-5, the distance between adjacent two through holes is consistent, if the number of through hole is too much, there is the problem of inconvenient operation when loading, if the number is too few, the gas permeability effect of furnace compartment is not good, gas permeation pipe 3 is arranged in through hole, and detachably set up communication pipe 5 between the two gas permeation pipes 3 of corresponding position on two pieces of furnace wall 1, gas permeation pipe 3 is made of stainless steel, and the thickness of pipe wall is not less than 2mm, stainless steel material is resistant to high temperature and has long service life, and thicker wall thickness can resist greater pressure exerted by material, so that it is not easy to be deformed, and one end of gas permeation pipe 3 located at the outside of furnace compartment is provided with sealing cover 4, sealing cover 4 can reduce heat loss from gas permeation pipe 3 in heating stage.

[0013] In use, first loading is carried out, i.e. powder-like raw material is filled into furnace compartment, after half loading is completed, worker sleeve connects communication pipe 5 with two sides of gas permeation pipe 3, continues to load, and sealing cover 4 is sleeved on gas permeation pipe 3 in heating stage, and sealing cover 4 is removed in cooling stage, since the temperature of material is partially transferred into communication pipe 5, indirectly improves the contact area of material and external air, and then improves the gas permeability of furnace compartment. And since the temperature of negative electrode material is above 300 DEG C, contact with air can produce specific surface area oxidation, and this non-contact air cooling mode avoids the risk of oxidation of material contacting air, is suitable for intervening cooling between 280 DEG C-1200 DEG C, and shortens the natural cooling period of material.
