Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment provides a synthesis apparatus 100 for a lithium ion battery anode material precursor, which includes a kettle 10, a driving device 20, and a stirring shaft 30, a stirrer 40 and a stabilizer 50 disposed in the kettle 10, wherein the kettle 10 is in a hollow cylindrical structure with an opening at the top, a plurality of rectangular first baffles 60 and a plurality of annular second baffles 70 are axially disposed in the kettle 10, the first baffle 60 is positioned in the middle of the kettle body 10, the second baffle 70 is positioned at the top of the kettle body 10, the driving device 20 is in transmission connection with the stirring shaft 30, the stirring shaft 30 extends into the kettle body 10 from the opening, and passes through the second baffle 70 toward the bottom of the kettle body 10, the stirrer 40 is sleeved on the stirring shaft 30, the stabilizer 50 is arranged at the bottom of the stirrer 40, for attenuating the horizontal impact force to which the stirring shaft 30 is subjected, the stirrer 40 and the stabilizer 50 are respectively located between the plurality of first baffles 60 and below the second baffle 70. The synthesis device 100 for the lithium ion battery anode material precursor can effectively control the homogeneous composition, morphology and particle size of the lithium ion battery anode material precursor.
First, the apparatus 100 for synthesizing a precursor of a positive electrode material for a lithium ion battery includes a reactor 10, a driving device 20, and a stirring shaft 30, a stirrer 40, and a stabilizer 50 disposed in the reactor 10, wherein the reactor 10 has a hollow cylindrical structure with an open top, so that a material can be introduced into the reactor 10 through the opening, and the stirring shaft 30, the stirrer 40, the stabilizer 50, and the like can be placed into the reactor 10 through the opening. Still be provided with a plurality of first baffles 60 that are the rectangle along the axial in the cauldron body 10 and radially be provided with and be annular second baffle 70, first baffle 60 is located cauldron body 10 middle part and is fixed in on the internal wall of cauldron 10, second baffle 70 is located cauldron body 10 top and is fixed in on the internal wall of cauldron 10, wherein, first baffle 60 can break up the swirl or the laminar flow state that the feed liquid formed because of the stirring, break the turbulent flow for the fluid is more unordered homogenization, second baffle 70 can effectively block the fluid and flow to the kettle cover at cauldron body 10 top along cauldron body 10 inner wall, break axial flow.
Secondly, the driving device 20 is in transmission connection with the stirring shaft 30, the stirring shaft 30 passes through the second baffle 70 and extends to the bottom of the kettle body 10, and the stirrer 40 is sleeved on the stirring shaft 30, so that the driving device 20 can drive the stirring shaft 30 and the stirrer 40 to rotate. Generally, the rotational speed of the stirring shaft 30 is too low, which results in poor dispersion effect, so that the rotational speed of the stirring shaft 30 needs to be increased to improve the dispersion effect, but generally, during the rotation of the stirring shaft 30, the fluid generates horizontal impact force on the stirring shaft 30, and therefore, the deflection of the stirring shaft 30 increases when the rotational speed of the stirring shaft 30 increases, so the synthesis apparatus 100 for the lithium ion battery anode material precursor also reduces the deflection of the stirring shaft 30 through the stabilizer 50 additionally arranged at the bottom of the stirrer 40, so that the stirring shaft 30 runs smoothly.
Thirdly, specifically, since the stabilizer 50 is disposed at the bottom of the stirrer 40, the stabilizer 50 can rotate together with the stirring shaft 30, when the stabilizer 50 rotates together with the stirring shaft 30, the stabilizer 50 can generate centrifugal forces at the inner ring and the outer ring of the circular ring-shaped stabilizer 50 respectively due to its own circular motion, at this time, when a horizontal impact force impacts the stabilizer 50, the horizontal impact force interacts with the centrifugal forces of the inner ring and the outer ring of the stabilizer 50 to weaken the horizontal impact force, so that the resultant force of the horizontal direction acting force acting on the stirring shaft 30 is reduced, and further, the stirring shaft 30 can operate stably.
As described above, the synthesis apparatus 100 for the lithium ion battery anode material precursor can break up the vortex or laminar state of the feed liquid formed by stirring through the first baffle 60, break down the turbulent flow, make the fluid more disordered and uniform, can effectively block the fluid from flowing to the kettle cover at the top of the kettle 10 along the inner wall of the kettle 10 through the second baffle 70, break down the axial flow, and can also improve the rotation speed of the stirring shaft 30 and reduce the deflection of the stirring shaft 30 through the mutual cooperation of the driving device 20, the stirring shaft 30, the stirrer 40 and the stabilizer 50, so that the stirring shaft 30 can stably run, the feed liquid can be dispersed fast and well after entering the kettle 10, and further the synthesis apparatus 100 for the lithium ion battery anode material precursor can effectively control the appearance and particle size of the lithium ion battery anode material precursor.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in order to improve the dispersion efficiency of the liquid, in the present embodiment, two sets of stirrers 40 are sleeved on the stirring shaft 30, including a paddle stirrer 41 located in the middle of the stirring shaft 30 and a turbine stirrer 42 located on a side of the stirring shaft 30 facing the bottom of the kettle 10, so that the fluid circulates in the kettle 10 through the paddle stirrer 41. Generally, the material deposition phenomenon inevitably occurs at the bottom of the kettle body 10 during the dispersion of the feed liquid, and therefore, the fluid circulation at the bottom of the kettle body 10 is further enhanced by the turbine-type stirrer 42, and the shearing force generated by the turbine-type stirrer 42 is large, so that the fluid dispersion effect is better, and the material deposition at the bottom of the kettle body 10 can be effectively avoided. The two groups of stirrers 40 can realize diffusion circulation of materials in the axial direction and the radial direction to form a relatively uniform and stable reaction area, and the adoption of the two groups of stirrers 40 is beneficial to suspension of precursors generated by high viscosity and high density, and has good heat transfer, dispersion and other effects. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of agitators 40 may be provided in three, four, etc. groups.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in accordance with the number of the stirrers 40, in the present embodiment, the number of the stabilizers 50 is also two, and the stabilizers include a first stabilizer 51 disposed below the blades of the paddle stirrer 41 and a second stabilizer 52 disposed below the blades of the turbine stirrer 42, and the first stabilizer 51 and the second stabilizer 52 are both circular.

Optionally, the turbine agitator 42 includes a six-straight-blade disc turbine agitator, and since the six-straight-blade disc turbine agitator belongs to a mixed flow agitator, strong axial flow diffusion can be mainly generated above the six-straight-blade disc turbine agitator during agitation, and a radial flow diffusion circulation is formed below the six-straight-blade disc turbine agitator, so that fluid can be rapidly subjected to axial diffusion circulation, and thus material deposition at the bottom of the kettle body 10 can be effectively avoided, the ratio of the blade diameter of the six-straight-blade disc turbine agitator to the kettle diameter of the kettle body 10 ranges from 1/5 to 3/4, and the ratio of the blade width to the blade diameter of the six-straight-blade disc turbine agitator ranges from 1/16 to 1/4.
Optionally, the ratio of the diameter of the second stabilizer 52 to the diameter of the six straight blade disc turbine agitator ranges from 1/2 to 4/5, the ratio of the height of the second stabilizer 52 to the height of the six straight blade disc turbine agitator ranges from 3/5 to 8/5, and the ratio of the product of the diameter and the height of the second stabilizer 52 to the product of the diameter and the height of the six straight blade disc turbine agitator ranges from 1/2 to 6/5.
First, the specific values of the lengths of the blade diameters and the widths of the blades of the two sets of stirrers 40 are selected according to the quantity and viscosity of the stirring slurry. Specifically, when the slurry has small viscosity, small liquid-solid ratio, low density of precipitates in the slurry and small quantity of the slurry, a better stirring effect can be achieved by selecting a smaller paddle diameter and a narrower paddle, and the energy consumption can be reduced; when the slurry is high in viscosity, high in liquid-solid ratio, high in density of precipitates in the slurry and large in quantity of the slurry, the blades with larger blade diameters and wider blade diameters can be adopted, so that the slurry can be stirred when the rotating speed of the stirring shaft 30 is lower, the slurry is prevented from settling, but if the blade diameters are too long and the blades are too wide, the resistance received during stirring is increased, the energy consumption is increased, stronger turbulence is easily formed, and the stirring effect is not ideal. Therefore, in the present embodiment, only some preferable value ranges are provided, and no specific limitation is made, and the specific values of the lengths of the blade diameters and the widths of the blades of the two sets of stirrers 40 need to be further selected according to practical situations.
Secondly, since the horizontal impact force of the fluid on different positions of the stirring shaft 30 is related to the stirring paddles of the two sets of stirrers 40, and the two stabilizers 50 are respectively installed at the bottoms of the blades of the two sets of stirrers 40, the specific values of the diameters, the heights, and the product of the diameters and the heights of the two stabilizers 50 are all related to the stirring paddles of the stirrers 40. Therefore, in the present embodiment, only some preferable value ranges are provided, and not limited specifically, and the specific values of the diameters, the heights, and the product of the diameters and the heights of the two stabilizers 50 should be further selected according to practical situations.
Optionally, the number of the first baffle 60 may be 2 to 4, and the number of the first baffle 60 is related to the volume of the kettle body 10, specifically, 2 kettle bodies 10 with smaller volume may meet the use requirement, while 3 to 4 kettle bodies 10 with larger volume may need to use more than 3 to 4 to better disturb the turbulent flow. The ratio of the width of the first baffle 60 to the kettle diameter of the kettle body 10 is 1/40-3/20, the ratio of the length of the first baffle 60 to the height of the kettle body 10 is 2/3-5/6, and preferably, the ratio of the length of the first baffle 60 to the height of the kettle body 10 is 3/4.
Optionally, the ratio of the kettle diameter to the height of the kettle body 10 ranges from 1/2 to 2/1, and the numerical range of the volume is 0.01m3~15m3Illustratively, the ratio of the diameter to the height of the kettle body 10 is 1/2, 1/1, 2/1, etc., and the volume of the kettle body 10 is 2m3、5m3、7m3、10m3、 13m3And the like.
Optionally, in order to enable the stirring shaft 30, the stirrer 40, the stabilizer 50 and the like to be smoothly placed into the kettle body 10, the ratio of the radial width of the second baffle 70 to the kettle diameter of the kettle body 10 ranges from 1/16 to 1/8, and since the fluid flows to the opening at the top of the kettle body 10 along the inner wall of the kettle body 10, the radial width of the second baffle 70 does not need to be too large, and the fluid can be effectively prevented from flowing to the kettle cover at the top of the kettle body 10 along the inner wall of the kettle body 10, so that the axial flow is broken.
Alternatively, the distance between the second baffle 70 and the first baffle 60 along the axial direction of the kettle body 10 may range from 10cm to 30cm, and illustratively, the distance between the second baffle 70 and the first baffle 60 along the axial direction of the kettle body 10 may range from 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, and so on.
