Description

[0002] The lithium iron phosphate battery is a lithium-ion battery with lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material and carbon as the anode material. Due to its advantages such as high operating voltage, high energy density, long cycle life, good safety, low self-discharge, and no memory effect, the lithium iron phosphate battery is widely used in the new energy vehicle industry. With the rise of electrification in the automotive industry, people have begun to pay attention to the recycling of lithium iron phosphate batteries for vehicles in the future.

[0003] Lithium iron phosphate battery recycling is mainly divided into two stages: in the first stage, a lithium iron phosphate battery is crushed into lithium iron phosphate powder; in the second stage, the lithium iron phosphate powder is recycled into a lithium salt product such as lithium carbonate through a physical or chemical process. A lithium element in the waste liquid of the existing lithium iron phosphate battery is mostly recycled through a chemical process—wet extraction. This means that the lithium iron phosphate battery waste liquid is mixed with other chemical solutions for reaction; other metal elements (such as iron, aluminum, and manganese) in the lithium iron phosphate battery waste liquid are agglomerated and precipitated by continuously stirring the mixed solution; and finally, a precipitate is filtered and separated to obtain a lithium carbonate solution.However, most existing devices require manual stirring of the mixed solution of lithium iron phosphate battery waste liquid and other chemical solutions, then agglomerating and precipitating other metal elements and filtering layer by layer to obtain the lithium carbonate solution. The entire process is complicated and the extraction takes a long time, thus failing to meet the demand for convenient extraction of lithium from lithium iron phosphate battery waste liquid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The same or similar reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to illustrate the present invention, but are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. Embodiment 1:

[0017] As in the Fig. As shown in Figures 1 to 5, a stirring mechanism for extracting lithium from the waste liquid of a lithium iron phosphate battery comprises a base 1, a clamp 3, and a stirring mechanism. The clamp 3 is movably connected to both ends of the base 1; the base is provided with a support frame 4 at a lower portion, and the stirring mechanism is rotatably disposed in a center of the support frame 4 and extends to a lower portion of the support frame 4; the stirring mechanism includes a first motor 5, a rotating member 6, and a stirring member 7. The first motor 5 is fixed to the center of the base 1. The rotating member 6 is inserted into the center of the support frame 4, and the rotating member 6 includes a second motor 61, a connecting end 62, and a rotating shaft 63.The connecting end 62 has an "L"-shaped structure, an included angle between two end parts of the connecting end 62 is blunt, and one end of the connecting end 62 is connected to an output end of the first motor 5. The second motor 61 is fixed to an upper portion of the other end of the connecting end 62. The rotating shaft 63 includes an inner shaft 631 and an outer shaft 632. The outer shaft 632 is connected to a lower portion of the connecting end 62 below the second motor 61, and the inner shaft 631 is rotatably arranged in an inner cavity of the outer shaft 632 and connected to an output end of the second motor 61. The stirring element 7 consists of a claw-shaped connecting base 71, a separating frame 72, a material guide wheel 73, and a collecting frame 74. The jaw-shaped connecting base 71 is connected to an outer lower end of the outer shaft 632.The separating frame 72 is connected to a lower end of the jaw-shaped connecting base 71. The collecting frame 74 is detachably connected to a lower part of the separating frame 72. The material guide wheel 73 is fixed to a lower end of an inner cavity of the collecting frame 74 and connected to a lower end of the inner shaft 631. A battery (not shown in the figure) is arranged inside the base 1 to supply power to the first motor 5 and the second motor 61. The stirring mechanism can be attached to a bottle opening of a lithium extraction container via the clamping jaw 3 and enables the stirring element 7 to be immersed in the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery within the lithium extraction container.The rotation speed of the first motor 5 is lower than that of the second motor 61, so that after connecting the connecting base 71, the separation frame 72, and the collecting frame 74, the rotation speed is lower than the rotation speed of the material guide wheel 73, thereby ensuring that the solution can quickly enter the collecting frame 74 and the material guide wheel 73 after entering the separation frame 72. When rotating, the first motor 5 can rotate the connecting end 62 of the rotating member 6 and the outer shaft 632 of the rotating shaft 63, so that the connecting base 71, the separation frame 72, and the collecting frame 74 of the stirring member 7 rotate synchronously with the outer shaft 632 and further stir a mixed solution of the lithium iron phosphate battery waste liquid and a chemical preparation.Due to the obliquely arranged rotating element 6, the rotating element 6 and the stirring element 7 form a certain angle with the central axis of the container during rotation, expanding the rotating and stirring range of the stirring element 7 and accelerating the mixing between the mixed solutions, so that other metal elements in the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery are quickly precipitated and agglomerated. During the rotation of the stirring element 7, due to the special claw-shaped connecting base 71, a sufficient gap can be left between the claw-shaped connecting base 71 and the separator frame 72 after the two are connected.Therefore, when rotating, the second motor 61 can rotate the inner shaft 631 and the material guide wheel 73, and the material guide wheel 73 can form a suction force at the lower end of the inner cavity of the collecting frame 74 at a faster rotating speed, so that the mixed solution can quickly enter the inner cavity of the separating frame 72 through the gap between the claw-shaped connecting bottom 71 and the separating frame 72, so that other metal elements precipitated and agglomerated in the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery can be separated in the inner cavity of the collecting frame 74 under the action of the flowing solution, thereby achieving the goal of separating other metal elements in the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery and reducing complicated operations and precipitation filtering operations caused by manual stirring.

[0018] As in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, in this embodiment, the number of clamping jaws 3 is not less than three, and the clamping jaw 3 includes a connecting plate 31 and a fixing plate 32. The connecting plate 31 is movably connected to the fixing plate 32, and an end of the connecting plate 31 remote from the fixing plate 32 is suspended from the base 1. A connection between the connecting plate 31 and the fixing plate 32 and a connection between the connecting plate 31 and the base 1 are both provided with a locking knob 2 for locking the angle. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 32 is provided with a slip protector on one side near the support frame 4.The number of clamping jaws 3 is preferably four, and the four clamping jaws 3 are arranged at equal intervals around a circumference of the lower part of the base 1 to ensure that the base 1 can have good clamping stability when connected to the lithium extraction container via the clamping jaws 3. An included angle between the connecting plate 31 and the base 1 and an included angle between the connecting plate 31 and the fixing plate 32 can be adaptively adjusted according to a size of a bottle opening of the lithium extraction container, and after adjustment, the angle is locked by the locking knob 2, so that the distance between the clamping jaws 3 can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the bottle opening of the lithium extraction container, and the adjusted clamping jaws 3 can realize stable clamping with the bottle opening of the lithium extraction container.The anti-slip member may be a rubber pad with anti-slip protrusions, which can not only ensure the anti-slip property of the fixing plate 32 and a side wall of the bottle opening of the lithium extraction container, but also avoid the wear of the fixing plate 32 when clamping the side wall of the lithium extraction container.

[0019] As in the Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, in this embodiment, a central portion of the rotary shaft 63 is provided with a support end 64; the center of the support frame 4 is provided with at least three limiting plates 41 for limiting the vibration amplitudes of a fixed end 61, the rotary shaft 63, and the support end 64, and the number of limiting plates 41 is preferably three. When the fixed end 61 is connected to the rotary shaft 63, an angle of the rotary shaft 63 can be changed by the specially shaped connecting end 62, so that the stirring element 7 connected to the lower part of the rotary shaft 63 can also be tilted, which can change the angles between the rotary element 6 and the stirring element 7 and a central axis of the lithium extraction container and ensures that a larger stirring range can be achieved when the motor 5 drives the rotary element 6 and the stirring element 7 to rotate.The arrangement of the support end 64 can realize the connection between the rotating member 6 and the limiting plate 41, which can better ensure the stability of the rotating member 6 during rotation and ensure that the rotating member 6 can drive the stirring member 7 to rotate and swing at a certain angle.

[0020] As in the Fig. 3 and Fig.4, the separation frame 72 in this embodiment is provided with a downwardly lowered funnel-shaped extension portion 721 at an upper end, and a gap is formed between the extension portion 721 and the outer shaft 632. A material guide plate 633 is provided on an outer side of the outer shaft 632 in an inner cavity of the separation frame 72, and a spiral recess (not marked in the figure) is provided on an outer side wall of the outer shaft 632 at the extension portion 721 above the material guide plate 633. In this embodiment, the collection frame 74 includes an inner cylinder 741, a filter plate 742, and an outer frame 743. The inner cylinder 741 is located above an inner cavity of the outer frame 743 and is arranged coaxially with the outer frame 743.The filter plate 742 is arranged in a central portion of the inner cavity of the outer frame 743 and connected to a lower end of the inner cylinder 741 to divide the outer frame 743 into an upper opening cavity and a lower open cavity. The upper opening cavity of the outer frame 743 extends below the material guide plate 633 in the separation frame 72. In this embodiment, the material guide wheel 73 is arranged in the lower opening cavity of the outer frame 743, and the material guide wheel 73 includes a connecting frame 731, blades 732, and a baffle plate 733 arranged one behind the other. The connecting frame 731 is annular and has a channel in the center.The hook-shaped blades 732 are arranged circumferentially between the connecting frame 731 and the baffle plate 733, and the thickness of one end of the blade 732 near a central point of the connecting frame 731 and the baffle plate 733 is smaller than that of one end of the blade 732 near an outer periphery of the connecting frame 731 and the baffle plate 733. A lower end of the inner shaft 631 passes through the channel of the connecting frame 731 and is connected to the baffle plate 733. A middle upper portion of the outer frame 743 may be spirally connected to the lower end of the partition frame 72, so that the partition frame 72 and the collecting frame 74 can be conveniently disassembled, which is advantageous for disassembly and cleaning of the agitator 7.The specially shaped extension portion 721 and the spiral recess disposed on the outer shaft 632 can accelerate the flow rate of the mixed solution in the gap between the extension portion 721 and the outer shaft 632 and promote the rapid entry of the mixed solution into the inner cavity of the separation frame 72. The inner cylinder 741 can be used as an assembly guide between the collecting frame 74 and the outer shaft 632 to ensure that the collecting frame 74 can be positioned by the outer shaft 632 when it is spirally mounted into the lower end of the separation frame 72.The filter plate 742, located in the center of the collecting frame 74, can effectively isolate other metal elements that have precipitated and agglomerated in the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery, ensuring that other metal elements that have precipitated and agglomerated can be separated from the lithium carbonate solution and collected in the collecting frame 74. The material guide plate 633, located between the extension portion 721 and the upper opening cavity of the outer frame 743, can extend a flow path of the mixed solution in the separation frame 72, thus ensuring that the mixed solution has a certain time for other metal elements to precipitate and agglomerate.When the specially shaped material guide wheel 73 rotates synchronously with the inner shaft 631, the solution flowing from the upper opening cavity of the collecting frame 74 to the lower opening cavity of the collecting frame 74 can flow through the channel of the connecting frame 731 and reach the vanes 732. Since the baffle plate 733 blocks the flow of the solution, the solution can be guided by the vanes 732 and spread circumferentially along an outer circumferential direction of the material guide wheel 73 and move downward under the block of the outer frame 743 at the lower end of the collecting frame 74, thereby further promoting the flow of the solution through secondary acceleration blocking and accelerating a mixing effect of the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery and the chemical preparation.

[0021] In summary, according to the stirring mechanism for extracting lithium from the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery provided by the present invention, by using the obliquely arranged rotating member 6, the rotating member 6 and the stirring member 7 form a certain angle with a central axis of the container during rotation while rotating with the motor 5 to expand the rotating and stirring range of the stirring member 7 and accelerate the mixing between the mixed solutions, so that other metal elements in the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery are quickly precipitated and agglomerated.The specially shaped stirring element 7 can ensure that the solution reaches the extension portion 721 of the separation frame 72 and quickly enters the inner cavity of the separation frame 72 under the action of the suction force generated by the rotation of the material guide wheel 73, so that other metal elements precipitated from the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery can be precipitated in the inner cavity of the collection frame 74 under the action of the flowing solution, thereby achieving the goal of separating other metal elements from the waste liquid of the lithium iron phosphate battery.
