[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a small mixer 100 for stirring and mixing materials. For example, in the preparation of dry electrodes, the small mixer 100 can uniformly mix materials such as active materials, conductive agents and binders to construct an electrode precursor with good conductivity, ion diffusion and mechanical stability.
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The small mixer 100 includes a mixing tank 30, a stirring assembly 40, a base 10, and an adjusting bracket 20 connected to the mixing tank 30. The mixing tank 30 has a receiving cavity 31, and the mixing tank 30 has an opening 311 that communicates with the receiving cavity 31 and faces upwards. It is understood that the mixing tank 30 can be made of stainless steel, such as 316L stainless steel. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 31 is mirror-polished. The bottom of the mixing tank 30 is connected to the adjusting bracket 20.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The stirring assembly 40 is detachably connected to the mixing tank 30 at the opening 311, and the stirring end of the stirring assembly 40 extends into the receiving cavity 31 through the opening 311. The material can be put into the receiving cavity 31 through the opening 311 and stirred and mixed by the stirring assembly 40.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3The base 10 is fixed to a predetermined plane, and the adjusting bracket 20 is rotatably connected to the base 10 and can rotate relative to the base 10 by a predetermined angle to adjust the angle between the plane determined by the opening 311 and the predetermined plane.
[0030] Understandably, the predetermined plane can be the upper surface of the frame, which is parallel to the horizontal plane, allowing the base 10 to be horizontally supported on the frame. Shock-absorbing pads can be installed on the base 10 to filter vibrations generated during the mixing process. An adjusting bracket 20 is connected to the top of the base 10, with a predetermined angle ranging from 0 to 30 degrees, such as 0, 10, 12, 25, or 30 degrees. When the mixing hopper 30 is arranged vertically along its height, the plane defined by the opening 311 is parallel to the upper surface of the frame. At this time, the predetermined angle is 0 degrees. The adjusting bracket 20 can be manually rotated to make the mixing hopper 30 rotate synchronously with the bracket, thereby tilting the mixing hopper 30 and improving the uniformity of the mixing.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The small mixer 100 provided in this application embodiment is connected to the base 10 by adjusting the bracket 20. The bracket 20 can be rotated relative to the base 10 according to the actual situation, so that the height direction of the mixing barrel 30 is tilted relative to the vertical direction. This promotes the rolling and flow of materials under the action of gravity, improves the macroscopic movement of materials in the accommodating cavity 31, and avoids local deposition of materials in the accommodating cavity 31. This enhances the overall dispersion of materials, improves the mixing uniformity, and achieves efficient dispersion of dry electrode mixing.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 3 It is understandable that the angle, i.e. the tilt of the mixing bucket 30, can be adjusted according to the different characteristics of the material, such as viscosity and particle size, in order to improve the uniformity of material mixing.
[0033] Optionally, the shape of the opening 311 can be circular, elliptical, or polygonal. In this embodiment, the opening 311 is circular, and the diameter of the opening 311 can be in the range of 100~200mm, such as 100mm, 103.5mm, 112.8mm, 119.4mm, 127.6mm, 134.2mm, 148.7mm, 159.3mm, 173.9mm, 186.1mm, 197.8mm, or 200mm. In this embodiment, the diameter of the opening 311 is 150mm. In other embodiments, the diameter can be selected according to the actual situation, and there is no limitation here.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments, the small mixer 100 further includes a locking member 32, and a locking part 12 is provided on the base 10; the locking member 32 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking member 32 is in the locked state, the locking member 32 is connected to the locking part 12 to restrict the rotation of the adjusting bracket 20 relative to the base 10; when the locking member 32 is in the unlocked state, the locking member 32 disengages from the locking part 12 and releases the restriction on the rotation of the adjusting bracket 20.
[0035] Optionally, when locked, locking member 32 connects to locking part 12 and restricts the rotation of adjusting bracket 20, thereby allowing mixing barrel 30 to maintain its tilt. When unlocked, locking member 32 disengages from locking part 12, allowing adjusting bracket 20 to rotate relative to base 10 under manual drive. Locking member 32 provides convenient state switching and reliable rotation restriction, enhancing the operability of small mixer 100 and the precise positioning of mixing barrel 30 angle.
[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the adjusting bracket 20 has an adapter groove 23, the base 10 is partially located in the adapter groove 23, the two side walls of the adapter groove 23 are rotatably connected to the two side surfaces of the base 10, and the locking member 32 is connected to the groove wall of the adapter groove 23 and rotates synchronously with the adjusting bracket 20.
[0037] Optionally, the adjusting bracket 20 includes a top plate 21 and two side plates 22. The two side plates 22 are located at opposite ends of the top plate 21. The top plate 21 and the two side plates 22 together form a transition groove 23. The two side plates 22 are rotatably connected to both sides of the base 10. The mixing tank 30 is installed on the top plate 21.
[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3 Both side plates 22 are rotatably connected to the base 10 via a pivot. The two side plates 22 rotate synchronously, and after reaching their positions, the locking member 32 connects to the locking part 12 to lock the relative position of one side plate 22 to the base 10, thereby fixing the tilt of the mixing tank 30 and ensuring a safe and reliable mixing process. In some embodiments, the locking part 12 includes multiple locking holes 121 formed on the base 10. Each locking hole 121 is arranged along the rotation path of the locking member 32. When the locking member 32 is in the locked state, it is inserted into one of the locking holes 121.
[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 3Optionally, one of the side plates 22 has a threaded hole, and the peripheral side of the locking member 32 has an external thread that matches the threaded hole. The locking member 32 is screwed into the threaded hole. After the adjusting bracket 20 is rotated to the position, the locking member 32 is rotated by external force, so that one end of the locking member 32 extends into one of the locking holes 121. At this time, the locking member 32 is in the locked state. When it is necessary to rotate the adjusting bracket 20 again, the locking member 32 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the locking member 32 is disengaged from the current locking hole 121 and is in the unlocked state. This makes the operation of the locking member 32 simple and low-cost.
[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the locking part 12 is a locking groove formed on the base 10. The locking groove is arranged along the rotation path of the locking member 32. When the locking member 32 is in the locked state, the locking member 32 is fixed to the locking groove by fasteners.
[0041] Understandably, the extension path of the locking groove is arc-shaped. The base 10 has a fixed cavity 111, and the locking groove is formed in the cavity wall of the fixed cavity 111. The free end of the locking member 32 has an external thread and slides into the locking groove. The fastener is a fastening nut adapted to the locking member 32. The fastening nut is located in the fixed cavity 111 and screwed onto the locking member 32. After the locking member 32 is rotated into position, the fastening nut is tightened to lock the locking member 32. When it is necessary to rotate the adjusting bracket 20, the fastening nut is loosened to unlock the locking member 32, thereby improving the convenience of adjusting the tilt of the mixing tank 30.
[0042] Optionally, by employing a design with multiple locking holes 121 or locking slots in the locking part 12, intermittent locking adjustment or continuous locking adjustment can be achieved when the locking member 32 is inserted into the locking hole 121 or locking slot in the locked state.
[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the stirring assembly 40 includes a sealing cap 41 that detachably covers the opening 311, a stirring paddle 42 rotatably connected at one end to the sealing cap 41 and extending at the other end to the receiving cavity 31, and a stirring driver 44 connected to the sealing cap 41 and used to drive the stirring paddle 42. The rotation center line of the stirring paddle 42 is at a predetermined distance from the central axis of the mixing tank 30. It is understood that the cross-sectional shape of the mixing tank 30 is circular. When the predetermined distance is 0, the rotation center line of the stirring paddle 42 coincides with the central axis of the mixing tank 30, thereby placing the stirring paddle 42 at the center of the mixing tank 30.
[0044] When the predetermined distance is greater than 0, the rotation center line of the stirring paddle 42 is eccentrically arranged with the central axis of the mixing tank 30. The eccentric design enhances the vortex and shearing effect of the material, promotes the uniform dispersion of fine particles, and thus can effectively stir the material in the mixing tank 30.
[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 3 For example, when the mixing tank 30 is arranged at an angle, the stirring paddle 42 can be set slightly below the center or slightly above the center. In this embodiment, the stirring paddle 42 is set slightly above the center. In other embodiments, the choice can be made according to the actual situation, and no restrictions are imposed here.
[0046] Optionally, the stirring driver 44 can be a servo motor, the stirring paddle 42 can rotate at 5000 r / min, and a heat sink 45 is provided at the rear end of the servo motor for rapid heat dissipation.
[0047] Optionally, the sealing cover 41 is provided with a feeding port 402 and an observation window 401. The observation window 401 is made of high-temperature resistant tempered glass to allow observation of the interior of the mixing tank 30.

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the small mixer 100 further includes a fixed base 60 that is connected to the adjusting bracket 20 and spaced apart from the mixing tank 30, and one end of the sealing cover 41 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 60.
[0049] Optionally, the fixed base 60 is arranged at intervals with the mixing tank 30 and provides rotational support for the sealing cover 41. The fixed base 60 is provided with a drive cylinder 61, which can realize the rotation of the sealing cover 41 to improve the convenience of opening or closing the opening 311 of the sealing cover 41.
[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the small mixer 100 further includes a support flange 33 rotatably connected to the adjusting bracket 20 and a mixing driver 34 connected to the adjusting bracket 20 and used to drive the support flange 33 to rotate, and the mixing tank 30 is connected to the support flange 33.
[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 3Optionally, the top plate 21 has a rotating hole with a bearing, and the support flange 33 is rotatably connected to the top plate 21 through the bearing. The mixing driver 34 can also be a servo motor. The mixing driver 34 drives the support flange 33 to rotate and makes the mixing barrel 30 rotate synchronously with the support flange 33. The rotation speed of the mixing barrel 30 can be 0~200r / min, and it can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The stirring paddle 42 and the mixing barrel 30 are both driven by independent servo motors, so that the mixing barrel 30 and the stirring paddle 42 can form a compound motion, which enhances the macroscopic tumbling and flow of materials and ultimately improves the uniformity of mixing.
[0052] Optionally, the base 10 is also equipped with a control panel 11, which integrates a PLC control system, can preset parameters such as stirring speed, heating temperature, and mixing time, and supports recipe storage and recall functions.

The edge of the scraper 43 is arranged at equal intervals with the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 31, and the predetermined distance is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.5 mm.
[0054] Optionally, when the mixing drum 30 is rotating, the scraper 43 can scrape off the material adhering to the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 31 to avoid material residue and ultimately improve the uniformity of mixing and overall efficiency.
[0055] Optionally, the scraper 43 is detachably connected to the sealing cover 41, so that it can be removed and cleaned separately.

Multiple fastening assemblies are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mixing tank 30. In this embodiment, three fastening assemblies are provided. In other embodiments, the appropriate fastener can be selected according to the actual situation, and no limitation is made here.
