Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of slurry concentration detection technology, and in particular to a slurry concentration detection device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the battery separator industry, the requirements for slurry characteristics in separator coating processes are becoming increasingly stringent. Slurry concentration, as a key parameter, directly affects coating quality and product performance. Traditional methods for detecting slurry concentration mainly rely on refractive index testing, i.e., offline measurement using a refractive index meter after sampling. However, this method has significant limitations: the testing process requires interrupting the production flow, and sampling, measurement, and result feedback are time-consuming, leading to reduced production efficiency and the inability to achieve real-time monitoring. Furthermore, manual operation may introduce errors, making it difficult to meet the high precision and timeliness requirements of modern intelligent manufacturing.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a slurry concentration detection device that can detect slurry concentration online, quickly, and accurately. Utility Model Content

The installation sleeve is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe. The second motor is installed on the top of the installation sleeve. The output shaft of the second motor faces forward and is connected to the small gear. The front end of the spray head is connected to the large gear. The small gear meshes with the large gear. The connecting ring is rotatably connected to the front side of the large gear. The water pump is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting ring. The output end of the water pump is connected to and communicates with the spray head through the connecting ring. The water tank is connected to the front side of the input end of the water pump.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes heat dissipation fins, which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fan.

[0021] Example: A slurry concentration detection device, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes an inlet pipe 1, an outlet pipe 2, a refractive index sensor 4, a mounting housing 5, a valve core 6, a motor 7, and a fan 16. The outlet pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the inlet pipe 1, and the refractive index sensor 4 is fixedly connected to the right end of the inlet pipe 1. The mounting housing 5 is fixedly connected to the left end of the inlet pipe 1 and the top of the outlet pipe 2. The motor 7 is mounted on the front side of the mounting housing 5 by screws, and the output shaft of the motor 7 is fixedly connected to the valve core 6. The valve core 6 is located inside the mounting housing 5. The refractive index sensor 4 is provided with a fan 16 for heat dissipation on its top.

[0022] like Figures 1-2 It also includes a drain pipe 3 for discharging wastewater. The drain pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inlet pipe 1. The mounting shell 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drain pipe 3. The motor 7 is also mounted on the front side of the mounting shell 5 by screws. The output shaft of the motor 7 is also connected to the valve core 6. The valve core 6 is also located in the mounting shell 5.

[0023] like Figures 2-4As shown, it also includes an installation sleeve 8, a spray head 9, a large gear 10, a small gear 11, a second motor 12, a connecting ring 13, a water pump 14, and a water tank 15. The spray head 9 is rotatably installed inside the liquid inlet pipe 1. The installation sleeve 8 is rotatably fitted on the front side of the spray head 9. The installation sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 1. The second motor 12 is installed on the top of the installation sleeve 8 by bolts. The output shaft of the second motor 12 faces forward and is connected to the small gear 11. The front end of the spray head 9 is connected to the large gear 10. The small gear 11 meshes with the large gear 10. The front side of the large gear 10 is rotatably connected to the connecting ring 13. The front side of the connecting ring 13 is fixedly connected to the water pump 14. The output end of the water pump 14 is connected to and communicates with the spray head 9 through the connecting ring 13. The front side of the input end of the water pump 14 is connected to the water tank 15.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes heat dissipation fins 17 to improve heat dissipation, and the heat dissipation fins 17 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the fan 16.

[0025] like Figures 4-5 As shown, it also includes a first sealing ring 81 and a second sealing ring 82. The connection between the water pump 14 and the spray head 9 is provided with a first sealing ring 81, and the connection between the bending sensor 4 and the liquid inlet pipe 1 is provided with a second sealing ring 82 to prevent leakage during use.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a filter screen 18. The filter screen 18 is provided on the left side of the liquid inlet pipe 1 to prevent impurities from entering the liquid inlet pipe and affecting the detection.

[0027] When the operator uses this device to detect slurry concentration, the device must first be connected to the designated power supply. Then, the slurry delivery device to be tested is connected from the left side of the inlet pipe 1. The motor 7 on the inlet pipe 1 and outlet pipe 2 is started, rotating the valve core 6 of the inlet pipe 1 and outlet pipe 2 until it no longer obstructs them. This allows the slurry to pass through the filter screen 18 and enter the inlet pipe 1, preventing impurities from affecting the detection accuracy. When the slurry reaches the required amount, the refractive index sensor 4 is activated, causing its detection prism to measure the refractive index of the slurry in the inlet pipe 1, thereby accurately calculating the slurry concentration value. During the detection process, the fan 16 and heat sink fins 17 must be turned on simultaneously to ensure good heat dissipation and prevent overheating. The refractive index sensor 4 will display the detected slurry concentration data in real time. After completing the concentration test, turn off the refractive index sensor 4. If a different type of slurry needs to be tested, inject cleaning water into the water tank 15, turn on the water pump 14 to pump water to the spray head 9, and simultaneously start the motor 12 to drive the pinion 11 to rotate. Through the transmission of the large gear 10, the spray head 9 rotates at multiple angles. The cleaned slurry is discharged through the outlet pipe 2 by the cleaning water. Then, turn off the motor 7 on the outlet pipe 2 so that the valve core 6 blocks the outlet pipe 2 again. Next, start the motor 7 on the drain pipe 3 so that the motor 7 on the drain pipe 3 drives the valve core 6 to rotate until it no longer blocks the drain pipe 3. Then, the spray head 9 thoroughly rinses the residual slurry on the inner wall of the inlet pipe 1. The cleaned wastewater will be discharged from the drain pipe 3. After cleaning, turn off the motor 7, water pump 14 and motor 12 in sequence so that the valve core 6 blocks the drain pipe 3 again. Other slurry tests can then be performed again.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made to the above embodiments based on the actual technical aspects of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
