Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a slurry manufacturing apparatus and a slurry manufacturing method which, when mixing a powder with a liquid, make it possible to always optimize the supply amount of carbon dioxide gas as a neutralizing agent and attain stable slurry manufacture. In order to solve such problem, provided is a slurry manufacturing apparatus comprising: a stirring/mixing part where a powder is mixed with a liquid to produce a slurry; a pH adjustment unit which supplies carbon dioxide gas in order to adjust the pH of the slurry; and a control unit which controls the supply amount of carbon dioxide gas from the pH adjustment unit on the basis of pH values of the slurry. Also provided is a slurry manufacturing method in which this slurry manufacturing apparatus is used. According to the present invention, since the supply of carbon dioxide gas can be controlled in accordance with the pH of the slurry, troubles in slurry manufacture due to the excessive supply of carbon dioxide gas can be avoided and the supply amount of carbon dioxide gas can be always optimized. Thus, the slurry production can be stably continued and the quality of the slurry can be maintained or improved.

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a dispersion device and a powder feed member with each of which it is possible, in mixing a powder and a liquid, to easily block the contact between the powder and atmospheric moisture during storage and transfer of the powder in order to suppress a reaction between the atmospheric moisture and the powder before mixing. To solve the problem, the present invention provides a dispersion device provided with: a stir-mixing unit that mixes a powder and a liquid; a powder feed unit that feeds the powder to the stir-mixing unit; and a dry gas generation unit that feeds dry gas to the powder feed unit, wherein the powder feed unit is sealable. The present invention also provides the powder feed unit as a powder feed member. With the present invention, it is possible to easily block contact between atmospheric moisture and the powder before mixing with the liquid. This suppresses the effect of the atmospheric moisture on the powder without providing a dry room that covers the entire device, so that it is possible to maintain and improve the post-mixing performance of a mixture, and also to ensure safety during mixing work at low cost.

Abstract

When producing an active material mixture while circulating a dispersion medium via a rotor having stirring blades, a solid electrolyte is likely to agglomerate, which make it difficult to reduce the granularity of the mixture. Increasing the rotation speed of the rotor in an attempt to reduce the granularity of the mixture results in the temperature of the mixture being likely to increase. In order to solve this problem, a dispersion medium is circulated via a rotor having stirring blades while a solid electrolyte is supplied and dispersed into the dispersion medium (first dispersion step), after which an active material and a conductive material are supplied and dispersed into the dispersion medium to obtain an active material mixture (second dispersion step), and the average rotation speed of the rotor in the second dispersion step is set lower than the average rotation speed of the rotor in the first dispersion step. Agglomeration of the solid electrolyte can be suppressed by separately carrying out the first dispersion step and the second dispersion step, and temperature increase of the active material mixture can be reduced by setting the rotation speed of the rotor to the low speed in the second dispersion step.

One side (W1b) of the cleaved raw material (W1) is compressed and reduced in diameter using a forming roller (R2). Furthermore, ironing forming is performed on a cylindrical shaft part (W2b) formed using the forming roller (R2) by using an ironing roller (R3) while pressing against a mold (D2), thereby forming a cylindrical shaft part (W3b). Also, ironing forming is performed on the other side (W1a) of the cleaved raw material (W1) by using an ironing roller (R4) while pressing onto a mold (D1), thereby forming a conical belt sliding surface part (W4a).

Abstract

The present invention provides a dust collection filter capable of reducing power usage by reduction of the average pressure loss of the dust collection filter and extending the filter life by improving efficiency of dust removal at the time of recycling a dust collection filter, and provides also a dust collection apparatus provided with the same. A tubular-shaped filtering fabric (P) has a configuration in which are layered: a base fabric layer (20) comprising a woven fabric; and a filter layer comprising a non-woven fabric combined with at least the filtering front surface side of the base fabric layer (20). A dust collection filter (F) is configured to filter dust containing air by passing the same through the filtering fabric (P) from the filtering front surface side to the filtering rear surface side and to remove the dust captured and collected by passing a counter current of air (H) through the filtering fabric (P) from the filtering rear surface side to the filtering front surface side. In the dust collection filter (F), either warps (20a) or woofs (20b) constituting the woven fabric of the base fabric layer (20) are disposed to be slanted to the tubular circumference direction (Y) of the tubular-shaped filtering fabric (P).

Abstract

Disclosed is a spinning apparatus wherein a control means (3) is arranged for controlling respective operation of a horizontal feed mechanism (Rz) and a vertical feed mechanism (Rx), based on operation state of a roller shift operation tool (35). The spinning apparatus is provided with an upper pressure limit setting means (L) which variably sets the upper pressure limit of a drive fluid supplied to the vertical feed mechanism (Rx). Spinning process is performed to a material to be processed by setting an upper pressure limit for rapid expansion shift to be lower than a reference upper pressure limit by means of the upper pressure limit setting means (L). The upper pressure limit for rapid expansion shift is applied when a roller travel distance in a direction vertical to the rotating axis center of a molding die during a period when the roller travels a set distance in the direction parallel to the rotating axis center of the molding die is more than a reference travel distance. The reference upper pressure limit is applied for normal shift wherein the roller travel distance in the vertical direction is a normal travel distance or less during a time when the roller shifts in the parallel direction by the set travel distance.
