In graphite reactions, the application of artificial graphite is becoming increasingly widespread. It can be used not only as a raw material to produce various graphite products (such as electrodes, crucibles, heat exchangers, etc.), but also as an important raw material for lithium-ion battery anode materials. With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the demand for artificial graphite is also constantly increasing.

[0003] Traditional equipment often lacks efficient raw material intake and dispersion mechanisms. Graphite raw materials are prone to agglomeration during transportation and do not have a filtration function. Agglomerated graphite raw materials may clog the reactor or transportation pipeline, leading to uneven filtration and transportation, resulting in equipment failure or reduced production efficiency, and thus affecting the efficiency and quality of graphite reaction.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A graphite reaction raw material supply device based on a negative pressure closed space includes a silo containing graphite reaction raw materials. A venturi tube connected to the discharge end of the silo is installed therewith. An air inlet pipe and a sieve pipe are respectively connected to the other two ends of the venturi tube.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0027] like Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a graphite reaction raw material supply device based on a negative pressure sealed space, including a silo 100 containing graphite reaction raw materials, a venturi tube 200 connected to the discharge end of the silo 100, an air inlet pipe 300 and a sieve pipe 400 respectively connected to the other two ends of the venturi tube 200, a feed pipe 500 connected to the bottom of the sieve pipe 400, a filter mechanism 600 provided in the sieve pipe 400, and a feeding mechanism 700 provided in the feed pipe 500.

[0028] The filtration mechanism 600 includes a sealing plate 601 installed at the end of the screening pipe 400 via a flange seal, and a filter cartridge 602 located above the feed pipe 500 is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing plate 601 facing the screening pipe 400.

[0029] In this embodiment, the Venturi tube 200 includes an integrally formed primary tapered tube 201 and a secondary tapered tube 202. The end of the primary tapered tube 201 is connected to the air inlet pipe 300 and compressed nitrogen is introduced through it. The end of the secondary tapered tube 202 is sealed and connected to the sieve pipe 400 through a flange. A mixing chamber 203 is formed between the primary tapered tube 201 and the secondary tapered tube 202. A feed pipe 204 is connected to the mixing chamber 203. The end of the feed pipe 204 is connected to the hopper 100.

[0030] Specifically, compressed nitrogen enters the first-stage converging pipe 201 from the inlet pipe 300, where the flow rate gradually increases and the pressure decreases, forming a negative pressure zone in the mixing chamber 203. The negative pressure zone draws graphite raw material from the hopper 100 into the mixing chamber 203 through the feed pipe 204. The high-speed airflow disperses the graphite raw material into fine particles to prevent agglomeration and ensure the uniformity of subsequent filtration and conveying. The graphite raw material and airflow are mixed and then accelerated through the second-stage converging pipe 202 before entering the screening pipe 400, improving the conveying efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 603 is rotatably mounted on the sealing plate 601 via a sealed bearing. A brush roller 604 is rotatably mounted on the portion of the rotating shaft 603 located inside the filter cartridge 602. The brush roller 604 is pressed against the inner wall of the filter cartridge 602. A first motor 605 is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 601. The output shaft of the first motor 605 extends into the interior of the sealing plate 601 and is fixedly connected to a main gear 606. A secondary gear 607, meshing with the main gear 606, is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 603.

[0032] Specifically, after the graphite raw material is fed into the screening pipe 400, it enters the filter cylinder 602. After being filtered by the filter cylinder 602, it enters the feed pipe 500. During the filtration process, the first motor 605 drives the main gear 606, which drives the secondary gear 607 to rotate the rotating shaft 603. This causes the brush roller 604 to stick to the inner wall of the filter cylinder 602 and scrape off the adhering impurities. The brush roller 604 cleans the filter cylinder 602 in real time to prevent clogging. There is no need to stop the machine during the cleaning process, which improves production efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 603 is a hollow thermally conductive material component, a base 608 is installed on the sealing plate 601, a heating rod 609 is installed inside the base 608, and one end of the heating rod 609 extends into the rotating shaft 603.

[0034] Specifically, after the heating rod 609 is powered on, it transfers heat to the rotating shaft 603, which in turn transfers the heat to the graphite raw material being filtered inside the filter cartridge 602. This effectively reduces the moisture content of the graphite raw material, prevents clumping, ensures continuous feeding, and improves conveying efficiency.

[0035] In this embodiment, a guide ring 610 that abuts against the inner wall of the screening tube 400 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the filter cartridge 602. The cross section of the guide ring 610 is trumpet-shaped. The guide ring 610 and the sealing plate 601 are located on both sides of the feed tube 500. O-rings 611 are embedded on the outer rings of the guide ring 610 and the sealing plate 601.

[0036] Specifically, the horn-shaped guide ring 610 guides the graphite raw material and airflow after they are mixed, and together with the O-ring seal 611, it seals the mixture to ensure that the graphite raw material enters the filter cartridge 602 and is filtered.

[0037] In this embodiment, a second motor 701 is fixedly connected to one end of the feeding pipe 500. The output shaft of the second motor 701 extends into the feeding pipe 500 and is fixedly connected to a feeding shaft 702. A feeding auger 703 is fixedly connected to the feeding shaft 702. An outlet 501 located at the end of the feeding shaft 702 is provided on the feeding pipe 500. A scraper 704 is fixedly connected to the feeding auger 703. One side of the scraper 704 contacts the inner wall of the feeding pipe 500.

[0038] Specifically, the second motor 701 drives the feeding shaft 702 and the feeding auger 703 to rotate. The feeding auger 703 conveys the filtered raw material to the discharge port 501. The scraper 704 follows the rotation to scrape off the graphite raw material adhering to the inner wall of the feeding pipe 500, preventing scale buildup, reducing maintenance frequency, and ensuring conveying efficiency.

[0039] How to use and how to work this device:

[0040] When in use, the device generates negative pressure by passing compressed nitrogen through the venturi tube 200, drawing graphite raw materials from the hopper 100 into the mixing chamber 203 to mix with the nitrogen. This effectively draws in and disperses the graphite raw materials, preventing agglomeration and ensuring uniformity in subsequent filtration and conveying. The mixed airflow is accelerated within the venturi tube 200 and enters the filter cartridge 602 within the screening tube 400. The mixed airflow is filtered through the filter cartridge 602, preventing equipment failure or decreased production efficiency, which could affect the efficiency and quality of the graphite reaction. During the filtration process, the brush roller 604 cleans the inner wall of the filter cartridge 602 in real time to prevent clogging. The cleaning process does not require machine shutdown, improving production efficiency. The filtered raw materials are conveyed to the discharge port 501 by the feeding auger 703, and the scraper 704 removes the scale buildup on the inner wall, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring long-term stable conveying efficiency.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
