Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of lithium battery production technology, and more specifically, to an injection device for removing foreign air particles. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of lithium-ion batteries, the sintering process of the cathode material has a crucial impact on battery performance, especially the choice of sintering atmosphere. The gas required for sintering ternary materials is generally oxygen or air. In industrial production, low-nickel products (nickel molar content in nickel-cobalt-manganese precursors is less than 60%) are generally sintered in air mode. In practice, the sintering reaction of ternary materials in air mode typically involves directly injecting ambient air into the roller kiln using a blower. The ternary precursor and lithium salt mixture reacts directly with the oxygen in the air. This method has lower manufacturing costs, but it introduces a large amount of non-metallic / metallic foreign matter into the kiln, directly contacting the ternary materials. This results in high magnetic foreign matter content, which has several impacts on battery performance. First, magnetic foreign matter may increase the battery's internal resistance, reducing charge and discharge efficiency. Second, magnetic foreign matter may cause local short circuits during charge and discharge, leading to capacity decay or even thermal runaway. Furthermore, magnetic foreign matter may also affect the battery's cycle life and safety performance.
[0003] Therefore, the air required for the sintering production process of cathode materials needs to be filtered in advance to meet the requirements before it can react with the mixture of ternary precursors and lithium salts. Currently, there is no air filtration device specifically for kilns, which increases the risk of magnetic foreign objects in ternary materials, leading to an increase in abnormal materials and higher manufacturing costs.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary for the inventors to design a new injection device for removing foreign objects from the air in order to overcome the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an air-pumping device for removing foreign matter, comprising a suction device and a main pipe. The output end of the suction device is connected to the main pipe, and the output end of the main pipe is connected to the kiln air inlet. A first double-pass pipe and a second double-pass pipe are detachably connected to the main pipe. A demagnetizing device is fixedly installed in the first double-pass pipe, and a fine filter is fixedly installed in the second double-pass pipe.

[0016] By installing a first double-pass pipe equipped with a demagnetizing device and a second double-pass pipe equipped with a fine filter on the main pipeline, magnetic foreign objects and larger particles in the air are adsorbed and treated, which greatly reduces the magnetic foreign objects mixed in the positive electrode material and improves the purity of the positive electrode material.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an air intake device for removing foreign matter from the air includes a suction device 1 and a main pipe 2. The output end of the suction device 1 is connected to the main pipe 2, and the output end of the main pipe 2 is connected to the kiln air inlet. A first double-pass pipe 3 and a second double-pass pipe 4 are detachably connected to the main pipe 2. A demagnetizing device is fixedly installed in the first double-pass pipe 3, and a fine filter is fixedly installed in the second double-pass pipe 4. A first double-pass valve 5 is fixedly installed at the input end of the first double-pass pipe 3, and a second double-pass valve 6 is fixedly installed at the input end of the second double-pass pipe 4. Specifically, air is drawn into the main pipe 2 by the suction device 1, and then sequentially passes through the first double-pass pipe 3 and the second double-pass pipe 4 before entering the kiln air inlet. When the air passes through the first double-pass pipe 3, the demagnetizing device adsorbs magnetic foreign matter in the air. When the air passes through the second double-pass pipe 4, the fine filter removes dust and other particulate matter from the air, preventing dust from entering the kiln. When the demagnetizing device adsorbs a large amount of magnetic foreign matter, accumulation occurs, reducing the effectiveness of subsequent adsorption. In this case, the demagnetizing device in the first double-pass pipe 3 needs to be cleaned or replaced. This is done by closing the inlet and outlet of the first double-pass pipe 3 (which requires replacement) using the first double-pass valve 5, while keeping the other double-pass pipe open. The suction device 1 can then operate normally without shutdown. Similarly, when the fine filter in the second double-pass pipe 4 needs replacement, the same procedure is followed. This embodiment, by installing a first double-pass pipe 3 equipped with a demagnetizing device and a second double-pass pipe 4 equipped with a fine filter on the main pipe 2, adsorbs magnetic foreign matter and larger particles in the air, significantly reducing the amount of magnetic foreign matter mixed into the positive electrode material and improving its purity. Furthermore, the first double-pass pipe 3 and the second double-pass pipe 4 are detachably connected, allowing for replacement of the demagnetizing and fine filter devices without shutting down the system, thus improving production efficiency.
[0031] The demagnetizing device includes a permanent magnet separator, which comprises multiple magnetic rods 7 inserted into the first double-pass pipe 3. The magnetic field strength of a single magnetic rod 7 is 6000-10000 Gs. Specifically, magnetic foreign objects are attracted by multiple magnetic rods 7. Multiple through holes can be provided in the first double-pass pipe 3 for installing the magnetic rods 7, and the magnetic rods 7 are hollow to allow air to pass through.
[0032] The fine filtration device is a synthetic fiber filter element 8, and the pore size of the synthetic fiber filter element 8 is 0.01-0.1μm. Specifically, the synthetic fiber filter element 8 has low cost and good filtration effect.
[0033] The input end of the suction device 1 is also fixedly equipped with a coarse filter device 9. The coarse filter device 9 is a filter cotton. Specifically, the air is coarsely filtered by the filter cotton. The cost of the filter cotton is lower than that of the magnetic rod 7 and the synthetic fiber filter element 8. During coarse filtration, larger magnetic foreign objects and dust in the air are reduced from entering the main pipe 2, thereby reducing the consumption of the magnetic rod 7 and the synthetic fiber filter element 8.
[0034] The second dual-pass pipe 4 is located near the suction device 1, and the first dual-pass device is located near the output end of the main pipe 2. Specifically, magnetic foreign objects in the air are first filtered by a fine filter, and smaller magnetic foreign objects are then adsorbed by the magnetic rod 7, which can reduce the consumption of the magnetic rod 7. Here, the two can be interchanged, which can reduce the consumption of the synthetic fiber filter element 8.
[0035] A detection device is also fixedly installed between the output end of the main pipeline 2 and the first dual-pass pipeline 3. The detection device includes a water storage tank 10 and a branch pipe 11. One end of the branch pipe 11 is connected to the main pipeline 2, and the other end is connected to the water storage tank 10. Specifically, a valve can be installed on the branch pipe 11 to periodically introduce air from the main pipeline 2 into the water storage tank 10, and then detect the content of various foreign objects in the water storage tank 10. This allows for the determination of the content of various foreign objects at the output end of the main pipeline 2, preventing excessive foreign objects in the positive electrode material caused by failure to clean or replace the demagnetizing device or fine filter in time when the filtration effect of the demagnetizing device and fine filter deteriorates.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
