Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cathode material manufacturing technology, and in particular to a sagger separator device. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacturing of cathode materials generally requires mixing and calcining two materials: a precursor and a lithium source. This requires feeding the precursor and the lithium source separately into a mixing device, mixing them, placing them into a sagger, and finally sending them to a kiln for calcination. Existing research has found that the spacing between the saggers needs to be within a reasonable range. Too close a spacing will affect the atmosphere flow in the sagger and affect the sintering effect.

[0003] For example, CN221661776U discloses a sagger transport device and a sagger sintering equipment, including multiple rotating rollers and multiple saggers. The multiple rotating rollers are arranged side-by-side, with both ends of each roller rotatably connected to the furnace body. Each roller forms a sagger contact portion, and the sagger contact portions of the multiple rollers collectively form a sagger transport channel. The sagger contact portions are provided with annular spaced protrusions, and these annular spaced protrusions on the multiple rollers are correspondingly arranged to divide the sagger contact portions into multiple sagger contact sub-portions and the sagger transport channel into multiple sagger transport sub-channels. Multiple saggers are placed on the sagger transport sub-channels, and each sagger has an abutting protrusion at one end along the sagger transport direction. The abutting protrusion of each sagger is used to abut against the other end of an adjacent sagger along the sagger transport direction.

[0004] The above solution has the following problems: the side-by-side saggers are kept at a reasonable distance only by using annular spacer bosses, but in actual production, in order to ensure production efficiency, the distance between the saggers in the transport direction is too small before they enter the kiln. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a sagger separating device that can solve the problem of the excessively small spacing between saggers in the transport direction in the prior art.

[0006] This utility model provides a sagger separator, comprising: Transport components for transporting the saggers to be calcined; A blocking component is disposed on the transport component and has a blocking state that blocks the transport of the saggar on the transport component and a passing state that allows the transport of the saggar on the transport component to pass through. A sensing component is disposed on the transport component and spaced at a predetermined distance from the blocking component. The sensing component is used to sense the passing sagger. A control unit is electrically connected to the sensing component and the blocking component, and drives the blocking component to switch between the blocking state and the passing state according to the sensing signal of the sensing component.

[0007] In other feasible embodiments, the transport assembly includes a first transport line and a second transport line, the first transport line and the second transport line being connected along the transport direction, the sensing component being disposed on the second transport line, the blocking component being disposed on one end of the second transport line near the first transport line, the distance between the blocking component and the end of the second transport line matching the width of the sagger to form a waiting area, the first transport line being electrically connected to the control component, the control component being able to control the start and stop of the first transport line.

[0010] In other feasible embodiments, the second transport line includes a second transport frame, a plurality of second rollers and a second drive device, wherein the second rollers are spaced apart on the second transport frame and the second drive device is connected to the second rollers to drive the second rollers to rotate relative to the second transport frame.

[0011] In other feasible embodiments, the second transport line further includes a second friction sleeve, which is sleeved on the second roller.

[0012] In other feasible embodiments, the transport assembly further includes a guiding assembly disposed at one end of the second transport line near the first transport line, for guiding the saggars in the waiting area to move along the transport direction.

[0013] In other feasible embodiments, one end of the guiding component extends to the junction of the first transport line and the second transport line, and the other end extends to the sensing component.

[0014] In other feasible embodiments, the guiding assembly includes a pair of guide frames and a plurality of guide wheels, the pair of guide frames being fixed to the second transport line and the spacing between the guide frames matching the width of the sagger, and the guide wheels being rotatably mounted on the guide frames.

The rotation drive can drive the rotating rod to rotate, so that the rotating rod has at least a passing state that is parallel to the second transport line and allows the sagger to pass through, and a blocking state that is perpendicular to the second transport line and the baffle blocks the sagger.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The sagger separating device provided by this utility model includes a blocking component and a sensing component that cooperate with each other. When the blocking component allows the current sagger to pass, it switches to the blocking state to block the next sagger.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0020] like Figure 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a sagger separation device, including a transport component 1, a blocking component 2, a sensing component 3, and a control component. The transport component 1 is used to transport saggers to be calcined. The blocking component 2 is disposed on the transport component 1 and has a blocking state that blocks the transport of saggers on the transport component 1 and a passing state that allows the transport of saggers on the transport component 1. The sensing component 3 is disposed on the transport component 1 and spaced at a preset distance from the blocking component 2. The sensing component 3 is used to sense passing saggers. The control component is electrically connected to the sensing component 3 and the blocking component 2, and drives the blocking component 2 to switch between the blocking state and the passing state according to the sensing signal of the sensing component 3.

[0021] In use, the blocking component 2 and the sensing component 3 cooperate with each other. When the blocking component 2 allows the current sagger to pass, it switches to the blocking state to block the next sagger. When the current sagger passes the sensing component 3, the control unit drives the blocking component 2 to switch to the passing state according to the sensing signal of the sensing component 3, thereby completing the adjustment of the distance between the next sagger and the current sagger.

[0022] Specifically, the transport assembly 1 includes a first transport line 11 and a second transport line 12. The first transport line 11 and the second transport line 12 are connected along the transport direction. The sensing assembly 3 is disposed on the second transport line 12, and the blocking assembly 2 is disposed on the end of the second transport line 12 near the first transport line 11. The distance between the blocking assembly 2 and the end of the second transport line 12 matches the width of the sagger, forming a waiting area. The first transport line 11 is electrically connected to the control component, which can control the start and stop of the first transport line 11. When the blocking assembly 2 on the second transport line 12 blocks the sagger, all upstream saggers are on the first transport line 11. The control component controls the first transport line 11 to stop transporting, which can prevent the distance between the blocked sagger and its downstream sagger from further decreasing or even colliding. When the blocking assembly 2 releases the current sagger, the control component controls the first transport line 11 to start transporting again, and then transports the sagger to the second transport line 12.

[0023] Additionally, it should be noted that the purpose of setting the blocking component 2 on the second transport line 12 and matching the distance between the ends of the second transport line 12 and the width of the sagger is to create a waiting area at the blocking component 2. Within the waiting area, the second transport line 12 always operates at the current transport speed. When the blocking component 2 switches to the pass state, the sagger in the waiting area can be immediately transported by the second transport line 12 at the current transport speed, ensuring that the distance between the current sagger and the previous sagger does not change. If the blocking component 2 is placed at the junction of the second transport line 12 and the first transport line 11, and the waiting area is placed on the first transport line 11, since the first transport line 11 has a start-stop process, its transport speed needs to be gradually accelerated to reach the preset speed when it starts. Therefore, there is a speed difference between the first transport line 11 and the second transport line 12 when the first transport line 11 starts, which will increase the distance between the current sagger and the previous sagger.

[0024] Furthermore, the first transport line 11 includes a first transport frame 111, a plurality of first rollers 112 and a first drive device. The first rollers 112 are spaced apart on the first transport frame 111. The first drive device is connected to the first rollers 112 and drives the first rollers 112 to rotate relative to the first transport frame 111. The first drive device is electrically connected to the control unit.

[0025] Furthermore, the first transport line 11 also includes a first friction sleeve 113, which is sleeved on the first roller 112. The first friction sleeve 113 can increase the friction between the sagger and the sagger, and prevent slippage between the sagger and the first roller 112.

[0026] Furthermore, the second transport line 12 includes a second transport frame 121, a plurality of second rollers 122 and a second drive device. The second rollers 122 are spaced apart on the second transport frame 121. The second drive device is connected to the second rollers 122 and drives the second rollers 122 to rotate relative to the second transport frame 121.

[0027] Furthermore, the second transport line 12 also includes a second friction sleeve 123, which is sleeved on the second roller 122. The second friction sleeve 123 can increase the friction between the sagger and the sagger, and prevent slippage between the sagger and the second roller 122.

[0028] Furthermore, the transport assembly 1 also includes a guide assembly 13, which is disposed at one end of the second transport line 12 near the first transport line 11, and is used to guide the saggars in the waiting area to move along the transport direction. Since the blocking assembly 2 blocks the saggars and the second transport line 12 at the bottom of the saggars is always in operation, the saggars in the waiting area are prone to shifting. The guide assembly 13 can guide and restrict the saggars in the waiting area, preventing them from shifting.

[0029] Furthermore, one end of the guiding component 13 extends to the junction of the first transport line 11 and the second transport line 12, and the other end extends to the sensing component 3. The crucible is prone to shifting when passing the junction of the first transport line 11 and the second transport line 12, and the guiding component 13 guides and restricts this shift. Additionally, extending to the sensing component 3 aims to guide the crucible through the sensing component 3, thereby improving the success rate of the sensing component 3's recognition.

[0030] Furthermore, the guiding assembly 13 includes a pair of guide frames 131 and a plurality of guide wheels 132. The pair of guide frames 131 are fixed on the second transport line 12 and the spacing between the guide frames 131 matches the width of the sagger. The guide wheels 132 are rotatably mounted on the guide frames 131.

[0031] Specifically, the blocking assembly 2 includes a rotation drive 21, a rotation rod 22, and a baffle 23. The rotation drive 21 is fixed on the second transport line 12. One end of the rotation rod 22 is fixed to the movable end of the rotation drive 21, and the other end is fixed to the baffle 23. The rotation drive 21 is electrically connected to the control component. The rotation drive 21 can drive the rotation rod 22 to rotate, so that the rotation rod 22 has at least a passing state that is parallel to the second transport line 12 and allows the sagger to pass through, and a blocking state that is perpendicular to the second transport line 12 and the baffle 23 blocks the sagger.

[0032] Specifically, the sensing component 3 can be an infrared sensor or a Hall sensor. It should be noted that the distance between the sensing component 3 and the blocking component 2 should be a preset distance between the crucibles.

[0033] In some embodiments, the sensing component 3 is detachably installed on the second transport line 12 by means of screws, adhesives, etc., and the installation position of the sensing component 3 can be adjusted later as needed.

[0034] It should be noted that the control device contains a program and runs according to the program. However, the program of the control device does not involve complex logic operations, but only signal triggering and state switching. Its principle is similar to that of a sensor switch. This program is a common control program in the field, and there are no improvements to the control program in this application, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The overall operation process of the solution in this application is as follows: The first transport line 11 and the second transport line 12 transport the saucers along the transport direction. When the previous saucer passes the sensing component 3, the blocking component 2 switches to the pass state, allowing the current saucer to pass. When the sensing component 3 no longer senses the previous saucer, the current saucer should have passed the blocking component 2 under the transport of the second transport line 12. The blocking component 2 switches to the blocking state, blocking the next saucer. When the current saucer is transported to the sensing component 3, the blocking component 2 switches to the pass state, allowing the saucer to pass. This process is repeated to adjust the spacing of the saucers one by one.
