Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery processing technology, and in particular to a low-temperature heat treatment device for preparing hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Hard carbon anode materials refer to materials with graphite as the main component. Compared with traditional graphite anode materials, they have higher specific capacity and longer cycle life. Low-temperature heat treatment of hard carbon can improve the mechanical properties, microstructure and chemical composition of anode materials, and improve corrosion resistance, hardness, toughness, as well as battery quality, life and conductivity.

[0003] Patent publication number CN221666615U discloses a low-temperature heat treatment device for preparing hard carbon anode materials for sodium-ion batteries. The device includes a housing, with a rectangular platform rotatably mounted at the center of the housing. A geared motor is mounted on one outer wall of the housing to drive the rectangular platform's rotation. Heating plates are slidably mounted on the top and bottom of the housing. Gear adjustment mechanisms for driving the heating plates to rise and fall are installed inside the housing on the outer wall of the heating plates away from the rectangular platform. A second geared motor is mounted on one outer wall of the housing to drive one of the gear adjustment mechanisms. A power transmission mechanism is mounted at the end of the gear adjustment mechanism away from the inner wall of the housing. A belt drive structure for power connection is installed between the two power transmission mechanisms. This invention can not only control the heating temperature but also accurately measure the heating temperature of the hard carbon anode material at every moment.

[0004] In this patent, when fixing the hard carbon anode material, the material is fixed on a rectangular platform, while the heating plate is set on the upper and lower sides of the shell. When the heating plate heats the material at a low temperature, it can only heat the outside of the material, while the contact surface between the material and the rectangular platform cannot be heated by the heating plate, which reduces the heating area of ​​the material and easily leads to uneven heating of the material.

Two vertically mirror-symmetrical U-shaped clamps 10 are telescopically connected between the grooves 9 and the through grooves 19. A guide post 21 is vertically fixed to the end face of the clamping plate 10. The guide post 21 slides axially through the groove 9. A cylinder 11 is vertically fixed to the end face of the rectangular frame 2 (6). The output end of the cylinder 11 is connected to the end of the guide post 21. Multiple protrusions 20 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two U-shaped clamping plates 10.

A U-shaped clamping plate 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of each slider 23. Two vertically mirror-symmetrical temperature measuring elements are movably connected in the rectangular frame 2 (6).

[0023] The temperature measuring component includes a driving component fixed to the outside of the U-shaped clamp 10. A guide block 17 is movably connected to the outside of the driving component. A temperature sensor 18 is vertically fixed to the end face of the guide block 17. The two temperature sensors 18 face each other. The bottom surface of the upper temperature sensor 18 is flush with the bottom surface of the upper protrusion 20, and the top surface of the lower temperature sensor 18 is flush with the top surface of the lower protrusion 20. The protrusion 20 is made of rubber.

[0024] The driving component includes two support blocks 13 fixed to the outside of the U-shaped clamp 10. A drive motor 16 is horizontally fixed to the side of one of the support blocks 13. The output end of the drive motor 16 is connected to a screw 14. The screw 14 rotates through one of the support blocks 13 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the other support block 13. A guide block 17 is threaded onto the outer edge of the screw 14. A guide rod 15 is horizontally movable through the side of the guide block 17. The guide rod 15 is horizontally fixed between the two support blocks 13.

[0025] The processing box 1 has two symmetrical rectangular frames 5, one above the other. Each rectangular frame 5 has a heating plate 4 fixed inside. The top surface of one side of the two rectangular frames 5 has threaded holes 7. The threads of the two threaded holes 7 are opposite in direction. A screw 8 is threaded through the two threaded holes 7. One end of the screw 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the processing box 1, and the other end is rotatably connected through the processing box 1. A drive motor 2, which is connected to the screw 8, is vertically fixed on the top surface of the processing box 1. The top surface of the other side of the two rectangular frames 5 has guide holes.

The screw 8 is rotatably connected through one side of the rectangular frame 6. The guide rod 1 is fixedly connected to the other side of the rectangular frame 6.

[0026] By setting a rectangular frame 2 6 between two heating plates 4, and setting two U-shaped clamping plates 10 with mirror-symmetric upper and lower dimensions inside the rectangular frame 2 6, the hard carbon negative electrode material is suspended and clamped between the two U-shaped clamping plates 10. This allows the lower heating plate 4 to heat the bottom surface of the material at a low temperature, and the upper heating plate 4 to heat the top surface of the material. This simultaneous low-temperature heating of both sides of the material increases the heating area of ​​the material and makes the material heat up more evenly.

[0027] Working principle: In use, open the chamber door 3, insert the hard carbon negative electrode material to be heated through the notch 12 into the groove 9 between the two U-shaped clamps 10, and then the two pairs of cylinders 11 drive the two U-shaped clamps 10 to move relative to each other, clamping and fixing the material between the protrusions 20, so that the distance between the upper and lower surfaces of the material and the two heating plates 4 is equal, and the two temperature sensors 18 are in contact with the upper and lower sides of the material respectively. Then close the chamber door 3, and the heating plates 4 heat the material at a low temperature. At the same time, drive motor 2 16 drives screw 2 14 to rotate. Screw 2 14 drives guide block 17 to move laterally. The two guide blocks 17 drive the two temperature sensors 18 to move laterally on the upper and lower surfaces of the material to detect the temperature on the upper and lower surfaces of the material. When the temperature of the material is detected to be too high, drive motor 1 2 drives screw 1 8 to rotate. Screw 1 8 drives two rectangular frames 1 5 to move in the opposite direction. Rectangular frames 1 5 drive two heating plates 4 to move in the opposite direction, adjusting the height between the two heating plates 4 and the upper and lower surfaces of the material.
