Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a screw feeder according to an embodiment of the present invention is particularly suitable for feeding wet lithium battery materials. As can be seen from the figure, the screw feeder mainly comprises a cylinder 10 and an alarm device 50, wherein a feed inlet 13 is arranged at the upper side of one end of the cylinder 10, a discharge outlet 14 is arranged at the lower side of the other end of the cylinder 10, and an observation port 15 is arranged at the upper side of one end of the cylinder 10 close to the discharge outlet 14; a feeding screw 11 is rotatably installed in the cylinder 10, two end parts of the feeding screw 11 are in insulation connection with the cylinder 10, an insulation layer is arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder 10, and a non-conductive wear-resistant coating is sprayed on the surface of the feeding screw 11; one terminal of the alarm device 50 is electrically connected with the feeding screw 11 through a first conducting wire 30, the other terminal of the alarm device 50 is connected with the inner cavity of the cylinder body 10 through a second conducting wire 60, and the second conducting wire 60 is not electrically contacted with the cylinder wall of the cylinder body 10. Specifically, the insulating layer on the inner wall of the cylinder 10 may be a non-metallic insulating layer such as a sprayed ETFE (ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer) coating, a PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coating, or a bonded PP (polypropylene) plate; while the non-conductive wear resistant coating on the surface of the feed screw 11 may be an alumina coating.
In the screw feeder, the non-conductive wear-resistant coating is arranged on the surface of the feeding screw 11, the insulating layer is arranged on the inner wall of the cylinder 10, the alarm device 50 is arranged, one terminal of the alarm device 50 is electrically connected with the feeding screw 11 through the first lead 30, and the other terminal of the alarm device 50 is connected with the inner cavity of the cylinder 10 through the second lead 60; when the conveyed material is wet material, the screw feeder can automatically judge whether the non-conductive wear-resistant coating on the surface of the feeding screw 11 is worn and falls off normally, and an alarm device 50 gives an alarm when the non-conductive wear-resistant coating on the surface of the feeding screw 11 is worn and falls off.
The working principle of automatically judging whether the non-conductive wear-resistant coating on the surface of the feeding screw 11 is normally worn and falls off is as follows: when the non-conductive wear-resistant coating on the surface of the feeding spiral 11 is not worn, the non-conductive wear-resistant coating on the surface of the feeding spiral 11 is complete, a closed loop cannot be formed among the second alarm device 50, the first lead 30, the feeding spiral 11, the wet material and the second lead 60, and at the moment, the second alarm device 50 does not give an alarm; when the feeding screw 11 is worn, the non-conductive wear-resistant coating on the surface of the feeding screw 11 partially falls off, a closed loop (a power supply is also arranged in the loop and is not shown in the figure) is formed among the second alarm device 50, the first lead 30, the feeding screw 11, the wet material and the second lead 60, and the second alarm device 50 is powered on to give an alarm to remind an operator to process. The situation that the magnetic foreign matters in the lithium battery material exceed the standard due to the fact that the non-conductive wear-resistant coating on the surface of the feeding spiral 11 is worn and falls off is avoided, and the troubleshooting time of the reason that the magnetic foreign matters exceed the standard is saved.
