[0028] Figure 4 for Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A is shown. A spray drying device for the positive electrode material of a lithium battery includes: a drying tower 1, a storage tank 2, a fixing device 3, and a sealing device 4;

[0029] The storage tank 2 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drying tower 1;

[0030] The fixing device 3 includes two rotating rods 31, two torsion springs 32, two fixing clips 33 and a fixing ring 34. The two rotating rods 31 are rotatably connected to the inside of the storage tank 2. The two torsion springs 32 are respectively sleeved on the surface of the two rotating rods 31. One side of the two fixing clips 33 is respectively fixedly connected to one side of the two rotating rods 31. The surface of the fixing clips 33 is provided with a fixing ring 34.

[0031] The sealing device 4 includes a movable groove 41, a sealing plate 42, and a fixing member 43. The movable groove 41 is opened inside the storage tank 2, the sealing plate 42 is slidably connected to the inside of the movable groove 41, and the fixing member 43 is disposed inside the sealing plate 42.

[0032] After the spray drying device prepares the slurry in the slurry preparation tank, it delivers the slurry to the atomizer through a high-pressure pump, atomizes it through centrifugal atomization, dries it through the drying tower 1, and then discharges it into the storage tank 2 for storage.

[0033] The storage tank 2 has a rotating groove inside. The two ends of the two rotating rods 31 are rotatably connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the rotating groove, respectively. Two rectangular blocks are fixedly connected to one side of each rod. The two rotating rods 31 are fixedly connected to one side of the two fixed clamps 33 through the two rectangular blocks, and the torsion spring 32 is located between the two rectangular blocks.

[0034] One end of the fixing ring 34 is fixedly connected to one end of the storage tank 2.

[0035] One end of each of the two torsion springs 32 is fixedly connected to the inside of the storage tank 2, while the other end is fixedly connected to the inside of each of the two fixing clips 33.

At the same time, the two torsion springs 32 tighten. When the two fixing clips 33 are merged, one end of the storage bag is limited.

[0042] After the fixing piece 43 is loosened, the sealing plate 42 is moved to one side inside the moving groove 41 and opened, and the particulate material inside the storage tank 2 is discharged into the storage bag.

[0043] After resetting the sealing plate 42, install the fastener 43.

[0044] After the two retaining clips 33 are released, the two torsion springs 32 return to their original position, thereby causing the two retaining clips 33, which are connected to the two rotating rods 31, to rotate to one side and return to their original position.
