[0020] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in various forms, so the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below. In addition, in order to more clearly describe the present invention, components that are not connected with the invention will be omitted from the drawings. The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the problems of the above-mentioned background technology, and the overall idea is as follows: Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment introduces a specific structure of an electrolyte recycling device, including a filter box 1 and a stirring box 10. A filter assembly is installed inside the filter box 1. The filter box 1 is connected to the stirring box 10 through a connecting pipe 9 and a pumping channel 29. A stirring assembly is installed inside the stirring box 10. A feeding assembly is installed at the top of the stirring box 10. The filter assembly includes two screw rods 2 rotatably connected to the inside of the filter box 1, a motor 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter box 1, the output end of the motor 3 is connected to the top of one of the screw rods 2, a pulley group 4 is fixedly connected between the tops of the two screw rods 2, a filter disc 5 is threadedly connected between the two screw rods 2, and a filter element 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of the filter disc 5. In the initial state, the filter disc 5 is at the top of the inside of the filter box 1. When the disassembled and removed electrolyte is transported to the inside of the filter box 1, the motor 3 is started to drive the two screw rods 2 to rotate simultaneously through the pulley group 4. When the screw 2 rotates, it will drive the filter disc 5 to move up and down. When the filter disc 5 moves downward, the filter disc 5 will squeeze the electrolyte inside the filter box 1. Under the action of pressure, the electrolyte inside the filter box 1 will precipitate through the filter element 6, thereby filtering the impurities in the battery. The middle of the filter disc 5 is fixedly connected with a check membrane 7, which is placed on the upper side of the filter element 6. The check membrane 7 is composed of a plurality of rubber sheets arranged in a ring shape, and the edges of the plurality of rubber sheets are mutually squeezed to form a cone shape. The check membrane 7 uses the principle of the tricuspid valve of the heart. When the filter disc 5 moves downward, after the electrolyte is precipitated through the filter element 6, under the action of pressure, the plurality of rubber sheets will open to form a passage, and the filtered electrolyte will pass through the check membrane 7 and be discharged to the top of the check membrane 7; When the filter disc 5 moves to the bottom of the filter box 1, the electrolyte is basically filtered. At this time, the edge of the rubber sheet closes again under the action of the rubber's own rebound force, thereby preventing the filtered electrolyte from flowing back to the lower side of the filter disc 5. Then the motor 3 reverses to drive the screw 2 to reverse and then drive the filter disc 5 to move upward. Since the check membrane 7 is in a closed state, the filtered electrolyte is pushed upward when the filter disc 5 moves upward, and the electrolyte flows to the inside of the stirring box 10 through the connecting pipe 9. The stirring assembly includes a rotating roller 11 installed inside the stirring box 10, a stirring frame 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating roller 11, a gear 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating roller 11, a stirring frame 13 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating roller 11, a tooth groove 15 is opened on one side of the stirring frame 13, an inner gear 2 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tooth groove 15, a motor 2 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stirring box 10, a gear 3 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2 17, the gear 14 is arranged inside the tooth groove 15, and the gear 3 18 is meshed with the inner wall of the tooth groove 15. Between gear 14 and internal gear 2 16, when the chemical powder is fed into the mixing box 10 through the feeding assembly, the motor 2 17 is started, and the motor 2 17 drives the gear 3 18 to drive the gear 14 and the internal gear 2 16 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the gear 14 drives the rotating roller 11 to drive the stirring frame 12 to rotate, and the internal gear 2 16 drives the stirring frame 2 13 to rotate, and then the stirring frame 12 and the stirring frame 2 13 rotate in the opposite direction, so as to fully stir the electrolyte and chemical powder in the mixing box 10 and improve the reaction rate; The feeding assembly includes a plurality of storage boxes 19 fixed on the top of the mixing box 10, the top of the storage box 19 is fixedly connected to a motor 3 21, the output end of the motor 3 21 is fixedly connected to a rotating roller 20, the rotating roller 20 rotates inside the storage box 19, the bottom end of the rotating roller 20 is fixedly connected to an auger 22, a weighing box 23 is provided on the lower side of the storage box 19, the middle part of the weighing box 23 is rotatably connected to a weighing plate 24, one side of the weighing plate 24 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 25, and the side of the rotating rod 25 away from the weighing plate 24 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 26, the feeding assembly also includes a pneumatic device, the output end of the pneumatic device is connected to an air pipe 28, the air pipe 28 is fixedly connected to a plurality of pneumatic rods 27, and the output ends of the pneumatic rods 27 are rotatably connected to a plurality of connecting rods 26, and the interiors of the plurality of storage boxes 19 are filled with various chemical raw materials, and the chemical raw materials inside are all powder materials, and the materials inside each storage box 19 are fluoroethylene carbonate ( FEC), lithium nitrate ( )、Lithium difluorooxalate borate (LiDFOB), 4-mercaptopyridine (4Mpy), sodium carbonate ( ), when it is necessary to add material to the inside of the mixing box 10, start the motor three 21, the motor three 21 drives the rotating roller two 20 to rotate and then drives the auger 22 to rotate, and when the auger 22 rotates, the material inside the storage box 19 is sent to the inside of the weighing box 23 and falls on the weighing plate 24. As the material falls, the weighing plate 24 will continuously weigh the material. When the weight reaches the standard, the motor three 21 stops rotating. At this time, the pneumatic equipment starts, and the pneumatic rod 27 is supplied with air and then pushed to extend. The pneumatic rod 27 pushes the connecting rod 26 to extend and then pushes the rotating rod 25 to rotate, thereby realizing the flipping of the weighing plate 24, and then realizing the dumping of the material on the weighing plate 24 into the inside of the mixing box 10. After the dumping is completed, the pneumatic rod 27 contracts and then drives the weighing plate 24 to reset.

[0021] The bottom end of the mixing box 10 is connected to the filter box 1 through a pumping channel 29. Its function is to produce waste residue after the electrolyte reacts with the chemical material. The electrolyte and waste residue inside the mixing box 10 can be transported to the inside of the filter box 1 through the delivery pump on the pumping channel 29, and filtered twice or multiple times through the filtering component. The filtered waste residue can be discharged through the residue discharge cover 8, and the filter element 6 can be replaced through the residue discharge cover 8.

[0022] Embodiment 2: Please refer to Figure 8 As shown, an electrolyte recycling method applied to an electrolyte recycling device in Example 1, the specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Primary filtration: after the disassembled battery, the electrolyte may contain electromagnetic debris impurities, etc., so it needs to be filtered. The electrolyte is taken out and pumped into the filter box 1, and is filtered for the first time through the filter assembly. The filtered electrolyte is pushed into the mixing box 10 through the check membrane 7; Step 2: primary reaction, adding fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) to the interior of the stirring box 10, FEC molecules participate in the lithium ion solvation shell, reduce the lithium ion desolvation energy barrier, and decompose on the surface of the metal lithium to form a solid electrolyte interface film (SEI) layer rich in lithium fluoride (LiF), the chemical reaction formula is: ; Step 3: secondary filtration. In the first reaction, fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) may contain VC (vinylene carbonate) and DFEC (difluoroethylene carbonate) impurities. After the first reaction is completed, the electrolyte and impurities in the stirring box 10 are sent to the inside of the filter box 1 through the pumping channel 29, and are subjected to secondary filtration by the filter component. The filtered electrolyte is pushed into the inside of the stirring box 10 through the check membrane 7; Step 4: Secondary reaction, adding lithium nitrate ( ), introducing nitrate into the lithium ion solvation shell and promoting the bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide anion ( Anions) decompose to form an interface layer rich in lithium fluoride (LiF), the chemical reaction formula is: , the nitrate reacts with the lithium ion in the solvation shell: ; Step 5: Three reactions, adding lithium difluorooxalate borate (LiDFOB), lithium difluorooxalate borate (LiDFOB) is preferentially oxidized to form a boron-containing polymer component, which helps to form a stable cathode electrolyte interface CEI layer. The chemical reaction formula is: ; Step 6: Three filtrations. During the synthesis process of lithium difluorooxalatoborate (LiDFOB), some insoluble impurities, such as lithium oxalate and lithium fluoride, may be generated. These impurities may cause turbidity in the electrolyte. Therefore, they may need to be removed by filtration before use. After the three reactions are completed, the electrolyte and impurities in the stirring box 10 are sent to the inside of the filter box 1 through the pumping channel 29. The electrolyte is filtered three times by the filter assembly. The filtered electrolyte is pushed to the inside of the stirring box 10 through the check membrane 7. Step 7: Four reactions, adding 4-mercaptopyridine (4Mpy) as an electrolyte additive to dynamically adjust the polysulfide conversion path and slow down the shuttling of polysulfides. The chemical reaction formula is: ; Step 8: Five reactions, adding sodium carbonate ( ), adjust the pH value of the electrolyte, the chemical reaction formula is: , at this point the waste electrolyte can be restored to a certain usable state.

[0023] Through precise chemical treatment and filtration steps, the electrolyte can be restored and regenerated to achieve performance standards similar to those of commercial electrolytes. The regenerated electrolyte exhibits a high ionic conductivity of 2.2 S·cm^-1 and an apparent activation energy of 4.73 kJ / mol at 293.15 K, which is very similar to commercial electrolytes with the same composition.
