Referring to L1 in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the gaps between the free ends of the first stirring paddle 41, the second stirring paddle 42, and the third stirring paddle 43 and the side wall of the cylinder 10 are all 5mm-15mm, if the gap between the free end and the side wall is too small, the requirement on the installation accuracy of the stirring paddles is high, the manufacturing difficulty is increased, and the material is extruded and abraded, and if the gap is too large, the stirring effect is adversely affected.
Referring to L2 in fig. 2, in the embodiment, the gaps between the lower edges of the first stirring paddle 41, the second stirring paddle 42 and the third stirring paddle 43 and the bottom of the inner cavity of the cylinder 10 are all 3mm-5mm, if the gap between the lower edges of the first stirring paddle 41, the second stirring paddle 42 and the third stirring paddle 43 and the bottom of the inner cavity of the cylinder 10 is too large, the bottom residual materials are too much, the bottom residual materials cannot be discharged completely, if the gap is too small, the assembly precision is difficult to ensure, the materials are subjected to extrusion and abrasion, and the product quality is affected.
When the high-nickel ternary lithium ion battery anode material particles are dried, the stirring rotating speed is too high in a plurality of drying processes, on one hand, the magnetic substance of the material is increased, on the other hand, the material particles are dissociated to generate micro powder, and the product quality is influenced, so that a slower rotating speed is needed in the drying process; however, in the material discharging process, if the rotating speed is slow, the production efficiency is affected. The existing vacuum dryer is usually only provided with one driving motor, and the rotating speed of the motor needs to be adjusted and switched in the drying process and the discharging process, so that the existing vacuum dryer is very inconvenient.
Referring to fig. 1 and 4, in the present embodiment, the stirring driving mechanism 20 includes a stirring motor 21, an output end of the stirring motor 21 is connected to a stirring speed reducer 22, the stirring speed reducer 22 is connected to a blanking motor 24 through a clutch 23 (specifically, the clutch 23 is connected to a rotor of the blanking motor 24), an output end of the blanking motor 24 is connected to a main speed reducer 25, and a rotating shaft of the main speed reducer 25 is connected to an upper end of the stirring shaft 30. In the drying process, the clutch 23 is closed, the blanking motor 24 is stopped, and the stirring paddle 40 is driven to rotate at a slow speed by the stirring motor 21, the stirring speed reducer 22 and the main speed reducer 25 (at the moment, the clutch 23 drives the rotor of the blanking motor 24 to rotate together), so that the quality of material particles is ensured; in the discharging process, the clutch 23 is loosened, the stirring motor 21 stops, and the stirring paddle 40 is driven to rotate at a higher speed by the discharging motor 24 and the main speed reducer 25 so as to improve the discharging efficiency. Through setting up two driving motor, carry out switch control to two grades of stirring speed through clutch 23, not only guaranteed the granularity of material granule, avoided the material granule to dissociate, ensured the product quality, effectively improved production efficiency moreover. Tests show that the product quality can be ensured and the production efficiency can be improved by adopting two stirring speeds, wherein the stirring speed is controlled to be 0.5r/min-1r/min in the drying process, and the stirring speed is controlled to be 5r/min-10r/min in the blanking process.
In addition, the stirring driving mechanism 20 may also adopt a servo motor or a stepping motor, and an output shaft of the servo motor or the stepping motor is connected to the upper end of the stirring shaft 30. The stirring speed is controlled by a servo motor or a stepping motor, so that the stirring speed in the drying process is relatively low, and the stirring speed in the blanking process is relatively high. However, compared with the method of using the stirring motor 21, the blanking motor 24 and the clutch 23, the invention is more energy-saving, and therefore, the scheme of using the two driving motors is preferably adopted.
The existing vacuum dryer usually arranges the discharge hole under the bottom of the cylinder 10, so that the risk of material leakage exists in the material stirring process. In order to solve the above problem, referring to fig. 1 and 4, in the present embodiment, a discharging chamber 50 is provided at a lower portion of a sidewall of the cylinder 10, and a discharging cylinder 60 for opening or closing the discharging chamber 50 is provided in the discharging chamber 50. So set up, can effectively reduce the risk that the material leaks the material at the stirring in-process to, open or close unloading chamber 50 through unloading cylinder 60, simple structure is difficult to the condition of putty.
In order to reduce the risk of introducing magnetic substances, in the present embodiment, the cylinder 10 and the stirring shaft 30 are preferably made of stainless steel, and are subjected to surface polishing treatment; the first stirring paddle 41, the second stirring paddle 42, and the third stirring paddle 43 are all subjected to surface spraying treatment. By the arrangement, the introduction of magnetic substances can be effectively avoided, and the product quality is improved.
In this embodiment, a dust remover (not shown) is connected to the vacuum port 12, and the dust remover is a dust remover with a blowback function. Moisture generated in the stirring and drying process is pumped out by the vacuum pumping port 12, dust in the drying process is collected by the dust remover, and the dust falls into the barrel 10 in a back flushing manner.
The working process of the vacuum drier is as follows:
starting the stirring motor 21, closing the clutch 23, stopping the blanking motor 24, closing the blanking cylinder 60, allowing the material to enter from the feed port 13, and allowing the steam (or heat conduction oil) to enter from the heating medium inlet 15; after the materials are fed, the feeding hole 13 is closed, the vacuum pumping is started, the stirring paddle 40 is driven by the stirring motor 21 to rotate, and the materials are stirred and dried; moisture generated in the drying process is discharged from the vacuumizing port 12, dust in the drying process is collected by a dust remover, and the dust falls into the barrel 10 in a back flushing manner; after the drying is finished, the blanking cylinder 60 is opened, the stirring motor 21 is stopped, the clutch 23 is released, the blanking motor 24 is started, the material is discharged from the blanking cavity 50, after the material is discharged, the blanking cylinder 60 is closed, and then the drying of the material of the next batch is carried out.
Practical application shows that 1000 kg of high-nickel washing water lithium ion battery cathode material particles are dried by the conventional vacuum dryer for about 6 hours generally, but the drying efficiency is remarkably improved by using the vacuum dryer of the invention for about 3 hours.
