[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] In the production process of the positive electrode material, the bowl loading operation is an important link. The high-nickel ternary positive electrode material raw meal, because with the increase of the nickel content, the better the sphericity of the precursor, the better the flowability of the mixed powder, the existing patents CN221419974U and CN216954069U disclose the unloading mechanism, which uses the silo and directly feeds the material. In the loading process, a large amount of dust is often generated, which not only harms the health of the operators, but also pollutes the environment, causes material waste, and reduces the product yield; at the same time, it also affects the quality of the high-nickel ternary positive electrode material.

[0031] The inventor provides a high-nickel ternary positive electrode material raw meal bowl loading and feeding assembly to solve the above technical defects, which comprises a powder buffer bin, a powder flow divider, a powder flow guide groove, a screw outer cavity, a conveying screw, a pneumatic butterfly valve, a first connecting flange and a second connecting flange. Figure 1As shown, it comprises: a powder buffer bin 1, which is internally provided with a powder flow divider 2, and the bottom of the powder flow divider 2 is connected with a powder flow guide groove 3; wherein the powder flow divider 2 is a four-pyramid structure, and around the bottom of the powder flow divider 2, one groove is arranged respectively, one end of each groove is communicated with the inside of the powder flow divider 2, and the other end is connected with the powder flow guide groove 3. The powder flow divider 2 in the assembly adopts a four-pyramid structure, which can make the powder raw material entering the powder buffer bin flow naturally around the flow divider under the action of gravity, and enter the saggar from four corners of the saggar through the four powder flow guide grooves 3, thereby solving the problems of large impact force, large dust, and large irritating odor existing in the direct feeding process of the traditional saggar loading equipment in the high-nickel ternary raw material saggar loading process. Secondly, one end of each groove is communicated with the inside of the powder flow divider 2, and the other end is connected with the powder flow guide groove 3, which ensures that the powder can smoothly enter the powder flow guide groove 3 from the powder flow divider 2 and flow along the preset path, thereby improving the flow efficiency and feeding speed of the powder. And on the basis of the above structure, the powder raw material can enter the powder flow guide groove 3 from multiple directions at the same time, so that the powder can be uniformly distributed during the feeding process, and the amount and quality of the powder are kept consistent every time, thereby improving the consistency and repeatability of the saggar feeding, and improving the product quality. Figure 1As shown, the taper of the powder flow divider 2 is 100°-120°, making the top of the powder flow divider 2 more pointed, so that the powder flows more smoothly along the surface of the flow divider under the action of gravity, reducing the residence time of the powder in the powder flow divider 2 and improving the flow efficiency of the powder. One end of the powder flow guide groove 3 is located in the powder buffer bin 1, and the other end extends outside the powder buffer bin 1. The powder flow guide groove 3 is a horn-shaped structure, and the size of the opening at the end connected to the powder flow divider 2 is larger than the size of the opening at the end of the powder flow guide groove 3 located outside the powder buffer bin 1. The horn-shaped powder flow guide groove 3 can guide the smooth flow of the powder, and the larger opening end is connected to the powder flow divider 2, so that the dispersed powder of the powder flow divider 2 can more easily enter the powder flow guide groove 3, avoiding the accumulation and blockage of the powder at the entrance of the powder flow guide groove 3. As the opening of the powder flow guide groove 3 gradually decreases, the powder will be gradually compressed and dispersed during the flow process, thereby achieving more uniform distribution. In addition, the horn-shaped powder flow guide groove 3 can slow down the flow speed of the powder, reduce the splashing and dusting of the powder during the flow process, and can reduce the loss of the powder and reduce the pollution of the powder to the production environment. At the same time, the horn-shaped powder flow guide groove 3 can adapt to the flow characteristics of various powders. Different types of powders have different fluidity, and the horn-shaped structure can adjust the flow speed and distribution state of the powder according to the actual situation to meet the feeding requirements of different powders. Further, the end of the powder flow guide groove 3 extending outside the powder buffer bin 1 forms an acute angle with the bottom of the powder buffer bin 1. The acute angle design can slow down the flow rate of the powder, change the vertical falling of the existing equipment into the saggar to the oblique downward flow into the saggar, thereby reducing the amount of dust generated.

[0032] As Figure 1As shown, the included angle between each groove is equal, the powder in the powder distributor 2 will be evenly dispersed into each groove, to ensure that the powder in the subsequent flow and feeding process, keep uniform distribution, avoid local powder too much or too little. In this scheme, the powder distributor 2 and the powder buffer bin 1, between the second connecting flange 8, the second connecting flange 8 for the powder distributor 2 and the powder buffer bin 1 between the solid connection point, to ensure the connection between the stable and reliable, prevent loose or fall off due to vibration or other external factors in the process of use. Secondly, the second connecting flange 8 can ensure the connection between the powder distributor 2 and the powder buffer bin 1, is convenient to disassemble. In this scheme, the powder buffer bin 1 top is equipped with screw outer cavity 4, screw outer cavity 4, the installation of conveying screw 5, powder buffer bin 1 and screw outer cavity 4, still be equipped with pneumatic butterfly valve 6 and first connecting flange 7, pneumatic butterfly valve 6 is located above the first connecting flange 7. The rotation of conveying screw 5 in screw outer cavity 4 can continuously, stably transport the powder from the buffer bin 1 into, to ensure the continuity and stability of powder conveying, in this process, the conveying screw 5 helps to reduce the risk of blockage in the process of powder conveying; and the introduction of pneumatic butterfly valve 6, so that the flow of powder can be flexibly controlled, by adjusting the opening of pneumatic butterfly valve 6, can accurately adjust the output of powder, meet the different production needs.

[0033] Finally, the assembly also includes a dust removal unit, the dust removal unit is connected with the external sealed cabin, the dust removal unit includes dust suction fan, filter and dust collection bin, the dust suction fan is connected with the filter, the filter is connected with the dust collection bin, the dust is sucked into the filter through the dust suction fan, and then the dust is collected in the dust collection bin through the filter.

[0034] The dust removal unit can effectively capture and process the dust generated in the powder treatment process, prevent dust pollution of the working environment, protect the health and safety of employees, and at the same time, reduce the erosion of dust to the equipment, thereby prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0035] As shown above, the powder distributor in the assembly adopts a four-pyramid structure, which can make the powder raw material entering the powder buffer bin flow naturally to the four corners of the distributor under the action of gravity, and enter the saggar from the four corners to the center direction through the four powder flow guide grooves, solving the problems of large impact force, large dust and strong irritating odor caused by the direct feeding of traditional saggar filling equipment for high nickel ternary raw material. Moreover, uniform powder distribution and flow guide can help to ensure that the amount and quality of powder are consistent every time, thereby improving the consistency and repeatability of saggar filling, and ensuring the quality of the final product.
