Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic pipe technology, specifically to an adjustable flow rate electrolyte distribution plastic pipe. Background Technology

[0002] In numerous industrial fields such as battery manufacturing and electroplating, precise electrolyte distribution is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and production efficiency. During battery manufacturing, the amount and rate of electrolyte injection significantly impact battery performance. Different types of batteries, such as lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, and even within the same type of battery at different production stages, have stringent requirements for electrolyte quantity and injection rate. Inaccurate electrolyte distribution can lead to problems such as increased internal pressure and leakage, affecting battery safety and lifespan; insufficient injection can result in incomplete chemical reactions, leading to reduced capacity and unstable performance. Furthermore, an inappropriate injection rate can affect battery uniformity and consistency, consequently impacting the quality of the entire batch.

[0003] However, existing adjustable-flow-rate electrolyte distribution plastic pipes still have some drawbacks in practical use: most existing electrolyte distribution pipe systems suffer from low control precision. Traditional distribution pipes typically use simple valves or throttling devices to regulate the flow rate and velocity of the electrolyte. These devices are difficult to achieve precise control and cannot meet the demands of modern industrial production for precise electrolyte distribution. Furthermore, some pipe systems are complex to operate, requiring tedious debugging and operation by professional personnel, which not only increases labor costs but also reduces production efficiency.

[0004] To address this issue, we designed an adjustable flow rate electrolyte distribution plastic pipe. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable flow rate electrolyte distribution plastic pipe to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides an adjustable flow rate electrolyte distribution plastic pipe, including an installation pipe, on which a set of main pipes and two sets of branch pipes are connected. Adjustment components are installed at both ends of the installation pipe, and the adjustment components are used to control the connection state between the corresponding branch pipes and the main pipe. The main pipe is located between the two sets of branch pipes.

[0007] The adjustment assembly includes: a mounting base fixedly installed at the end of the installation pipe; a piston nested within the mounting base in a relatively sliding manner; and a drive assembly disposed at the outer end of the mounting base and poweredly connected to the piston. The mounting base has a connecting hole on its inner side, one end of which is opposite to and connected to the branch pipe, and the piston does not spatially interfere with the installation pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, a first through groove is provided at the end of the mounting base near the main flow pipe, the first through groove being used for the flow of electrolyte, and a second through groove is provided at the end of the mounting base away from the main flow pipe, the second through groove being used for the flow of air medium.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive chamber, which is fixedly installed at the top of the installation pipe. Both ends of the drive chamber are connected to air supply pipes. The drive chamber is connected to the installation base through the air supply pipes. Two movable plates are symmetrically arranged inside the drive chamber, and the two movable plates are slidably installed inside the drive chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive chamber inner sidewall is rotatably connected to a threaded rod, both of the movable plates are threadedly connected to the threaded rod, a first bevel gear is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the threaded rod, and a second bevel gear is rotatably connected to the drive chamber inner top wall, the second bevel gear meshing with the first bevel gear.

[0011] Furthermore, a knob is rotatably connected to the top surface of the drive chamber, and the bottom end of the knob is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear.

[0012] Furthermore, the piston is in contact with the inner wall of the mounting base, and the piston is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting base.

[0013] Furthermore, the movable plate is attached to the inner side wall of the drive chamber, and the movable plate is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the drive chamber.

[0014] Furthermore, there are multiple connecting holes, which are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the mounting base at positions corresponding to the branch pipes.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the piston is controlled to move stably in the mounting base by a drive component, and the degree of misalignment between the piston and the branch pipe and the sealing of the connecting hole are precisely adjusted. This allows for precise control of the opening and closing degree at the connection between the branch pipe and the mounting pipe. This enables precise adjustment of the flow rate and velocity of the electrolyte according to specific process requirements, ensuring that the electrolyte is accurately distributed to the required locations. This meets the requirements for precise electrolyte distribution in industries such as battery manufacturing and electroplating, thereby improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, by rotating the knob at the top of the drive chamber, the piston can be driven to move through the transmission components such as the second bevel gear, the first bevel gear, and the threaded rod, thereby controlling the flow rate and volume of the electrolyte. This simple operation method does not require complicated debugging or professional skills, and operators can quickly get started, greatly shortening the operation time and improving the efficiency of electrolyte distribution.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable flow rate electrolyte distribution plastic pipe, including an installation pipe 1, on which a set of main pipes 2 and two sets of branch pipes 3 are connected. Adjustment components are installed at both ends of the installation pipe 1, and the adjustment components are used to control the connection state between the corresponding branch pipes 3 and the main pipe 2. The main pipe 2 is located between the two sets of branch pipes 3.

[0025] The adjustment assembly includes: a mounting base 4 fixedly installed at the end of the installation pipe 1; a piston 5 nested within the mounting base 4 in a relatively sliding manner; and a drive assembly located at the outer end of the mounting base 4 and poweredly connected to the piston 5. A connecting hole 6 is opened on the inner side of the mounting base 4, one end of which is opposite to and connected to the branch pipe 3. The piston 5 and the installation pipe 1 do not interfere with each other spatially. There are multiple connecting holes 6, which are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the mounting base 4 at positions corresponding to the branch pipe 3.

[0026] In practice, during use, the piston 5 is controlled to move stably in the mounting base 4 by the drive component. During the movement, the piston 5 gradually shifts away from the corresponding branch pipe 3 and other parts of the piston 5 block the connecting hole 6, thereby gradually reducing the connecting area. This controls the opening and closing degree of the connection between the branch pipe 3 and the mounting pipe 1, thereby controlling the flow rate and flow volume of the fluid.

[0027] See Figures 1-4 The mounting base 4 has a first through groove 7 at the end near the main flow pipe 2, which is used for the flow of electrolyte. The mounting base 4 also has a second through groove 8 at the end away from the main flow pipe 2, which is used for the flow of air. The drive assembly includes a drive chamber 9, which is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting pipe 1. Both ends of the drive chamber 9 are connected to air supply pipes 10, which connect the drive chamber 9 to the mounting base 4. Two movable plates 11 are symmetrically arranged inside the drive chamber 9, and the two movable plates 11 slide... Installed inside the drive chamber 9, the inner wall of the drive chamber 9 is rotatably connected to a threaded rod 12, and two movable plates 11 are threadedly connected to the threaded rod 12. A first bevel gear 13 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the threaded rod 12. A second bevel gear 14 is rotatably connected to the top wall of the drive chamber 9. The second bevel gear 14 meshes with the first bevel gear 13. The piston 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the mounting base 4 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 4. The movable plate 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the drive chamber 9 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the drive chamber 9.

[0028] The user rotates the second bevel gear 14, causing the first bevel gear 13, which meshes with the second bevel gear 14, to rotate and drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate. Because the threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to the movable plate 11 and the movable plate 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the drive chamber 9, the second bevel gear 14 moves horizontally in the drive chamber 9 and simultaneously compresses the air medium inside the drive chamber 9 into the mounting base 4, thus driving the piston 5.

[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 4A knob 15 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the drive chamber 9. The bottom end of the knob 15 is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 14. By rotating the knob 15 at the top of the drive chamber 9, the piston 5 can be driven to move through the transmission components such as the second bevel gear 14, the first bevel gear 13, and the threaded rod 12, thereby controlling the flow rate and volume of the electrolyte. This simple operation method does not require complicated debugging or professional skills, and operators can quickly get started, greatly shortening the operation time and improving the efficiency of electrolyte distribution.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] In use, the piston 5 is controlled by the drive assembly to move stably in the mounting base 4. During the movement, the piston 5 gradually shifts away from the corresponding branch pipe 3 and other parts of the piston 5 block the connecting hole 6, gradually reducing the connecting area. This controls the opening and closing degree of the connection between the branch pipe 3 and the mounting pipe 1, thereby controlling the flow rate and volume of the fluid. The user can rotate the knob 15 at the top of the drive chamber 9 to rotate the second bevel gear 14, causing the first bevel gear 13, which meshes with the second bevel gear 14, to rotate and drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate. Because the threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to the movable plate 11 and the movable plate 11 is in contact with the inner wall of the drive chamber 9, the second bevel gear 14 moves horizontally in the drive chamber 9, while squeezing the air medium inside the drive chamber 9 into the mounting base 4, thus driving the piston 5.

[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
