Description

A multi-group sorting system and method for battery crushing and recycling Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of battery recycling, and more particularly to a multi-component sorting system and method for battery crushing and recycling. Background Art

[0002] Used batteries have extremely high recycling value, so they need to be recycled. Among them, the most important thing in battery recycling is crushing and physical sorting. Only when crushing and physical sorting are completed can it be convenient for staff to recycle the used lithium batteries in the future.

[0003] Sorting is an important unit operation in solid waste treatment. Its purpose is to separate recyclable materials or materials that are not conducive to subsequent treatment and disposal process requirements from solid waste. Existing sorting devices have poor recovery effects on the components in batteries. After the waste batteries are crushed, the existing sorting devices can only sort out the agglomerated coarse materials, but cannot re-crush the agglomerated coarse materials, making it impossible to fully recover the components in the waste batteries.

[0004] For example, a waste battery sorting device with application number CN201610820712.7 includes a housing containing a vibrator, a support plate above the vibrator, and a screen frame placed on the support plate. The screen frame is connected to the housing with springs at the four corners, providing support and positioning. Within the screen frame, several layers of sieves with elongated apertures are arranged from top to bottom. The apertures on the top layer are the widest, gradually narrowing as they descend. This sorting device only performs preliminary screening of waste batteries and cannot re-crush agglomerated coarse material, making it impossible to fully recover components from the waste batteries.

[0059] The specific gravity separator 6 is used to separate and process the materials that do not meet the requirements screened out by the third screening mechanism 5 .

[0060] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0061] The present invention discloses a multi-group sorting system for battery crushing and recycling, which is used to process materials after high-temperature pyrolysis. When in use, the materials after high-temperature pyrolysis are first transported to the first screening mechanism 1 through a closed conveying system for pre-screening, and black powder in the materials is screened out for the first time; then the overscreen material on the first screening mechanism 1 is transported to the medium crusher 2 for crushing. After the medium crusher 2 crushes the materials, the crushed materials are transported to the second screening mechanism 3 for a second screening, and black powder in the materials is screened out for the second time; then the overscreen material on the second screening mechanism 3 is transported to the fine crusher 4 for crushing. After the fine crusher 4 crushes the materials, the crushed materials are transported to the third screening mechanism 5 for screening, and black powder in the materials is screened out for the third time. Finally, the overscreen material on the third screening mechanism 5 is transported to the specific gravity separator 6 to be separated into copper particles and aluminum particles by the specific gravity separator 6; the maximum recovery of valuable metals can be achieved.

[0062] The first screening mechanism 1 is a tumble screen, which can make the material pass through the screen mesh to complete the grade screening as required during the continuous rotation of the screen drum. The first screening mechanism 1 can adopt the XYJ1040 tumble screen purchased on the market.

[0063] The secondary crusher 2 is a hammer crusher, which crushes the material through the high-speed impact of the hammer and effectively separates the pole pieces from the black powder.

The second screening mechanism 3 and the third screening mechanism 5 are both nonlinear inertial vibrating screens. The basic rotational motion of the screen body is similar to manual screening, which can effectively classify fine particles and fine powder materials. The second screening mechanism 3 and the third screening mechanism 5 can adopt YBS1600-1S circular swing screen. The contact part between the screen body and the material is made of SUS304 stainless steel and is matte sandblasted.

[0065] The multi-group sorting system for battery crushing and recycling further includes a vertical elevator connected between the secondary crusher 2 and the second screening mechanism 3 to lift and transport the material crushed by the secondary crusher 2 to the second screening mechanism 3.

[0066] The multi-component sorting system for battery crushing and recycling further includes a negative pressure pumping mechanism 7, which is connected between the fine crusher 4 and the third screening mechanism 5 to pump the material crushed by the fine crusher 4 into the third screening mechanism 5.

[0067] The negative pressure extraction mechanism 7 includes a negative pressure extraction pipe for extracting the material crushed by the fine crusher 4. The negative pressure extraction pipe is connected to a high-pressure fan, and the high-pressure fan is connected in the cyclone bucket. The material crushed by the fine crusher 4 is extracted into the cyclone separator in the cyclone bucket for gas-solid separation by cooperating with the negative pressure extraction pipe, so that the solid material falls into the third screening mechanism 5 for re-screening, and the black powder in the material is screened out again.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, a feeding mechanism 8 is fixed in the feeding port of the fine crusher 4. The feeding mechanism 8 includes a storage box 801 and a cylindrical feeding barrel 802. Two rotating tubes 803 at both ends of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 rotate at both ends of the discharge port at the bottom of the storage box 801. A feeding hole for connecting to the storage box 801 is provided on the top of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802. A plurality of unloading holes are evenly spaced at the bottom of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802. The cylindrical feeding barrel 802 rotates with a rotating shaft 804. Both ends of the rotating shaft 804 pass through the outside of the two rotating tubes 803. A material distribution baffle 805 is fixed in the middle of the rotating shaft 804, and the material distribution baffle 805 rotates on the inside of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802; one end of the rotating shaft 804 is connected to the feeding port The material driving mechanism 9 is connected, and the other end of the rotating shaft 804 is fixed with a sector gear 806, and the sector gear 806 can be intermittently meshed with a horizontal rack 807, and the horizontal rack 807 is fixed to one end of the sliding shaft 808, and the other end of the sliding shaft 808 is fixed on a slider 809. The slider 809 slides in the horizontal slide groove on the side of the storage box 801, and the two ends of the slider 809 are respectively fixed with an inner end of a return spring 810, and the outer ends of the two return springs 810 are respectively fixed to the side of the storage box 801 through a spring seat; the middle part of the sliding shaft 808 slides in the vertical slideway of the slide frame 811, and the horizontal rack 807 and the slider 809 are respectively blocked on both sides of the slide frame 811, and one end of the slide frame 811 is fixed on a rotating tube 803.

[0070] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0071] In a multi-group sorting system for battery crushing and recycling disclosed in the present invention, a feeding mechanism 8 is fixed in the feed port of the fine crusher 4, and the feeding speed and feeding amount of the material entering the fine crusher 4 can be controlled to a certain extent by the feeding mechanism 8, so as to improve the crushing effect of the fine crusher 4 on the material; when in use, the material is first put into the storage box 801, and the material can fall downward into the cylindrical feeding barrel 802, and the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 is provided with a material dividing baffle 805. After the feeding drive mechanism 9 is started, the feeding drive mechanism 9 can drive the rotating shaft 804 to rotate, and when the rotating shaft 804 rotates, it can drive the material dividing baffle 805 to move in the cylindrical feeding barrel. The barrel 802 performs a rotating and circumferential motion, and a plurality of material distribution baffles 805 can be provided. As the material distribution baffles 805 rotate, the materials falling into the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 are orderly dialed into the multiple discharge holes at the bottom of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 in batches, thereby discharging the materials into the feeding port of the fine crusher 4 in batches, thereby realizing the control of the material feeding amount and feeding speed, and the two rotating tubes 803 at both ends of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 rotate at the two ends of the discharge port at the bottom of the storage box 801, so that the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 can swing to a certain extent relative to the storage box 801, thereby adjusting the discharge of the multiple discharge holes at the bottom of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802. The material position is adjusted so that the material falls more evenly onto the crushing mechanism in the fine crusher 4, which is beneficial to improving the material crushing effect to a certain extent; the swing of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 can be controlled as the rotating shaft 804 rotates. When the rotating shaft 804 rotates, it can drive the fan gear 806 to rotate, so that the fan gear 806 can be intermittently engaged with the cross rack 807. When the fan gear 806 is engaged with the cross rack 807, it can drive the cross rack 807 to slide horizontally to one side. When the cross rack 807 slides, it can drive the slider 809 to slide in the cross groove on the side of the storage box 801 through the sliding shaft 808. When the slider 809 moves, a reset spring 8 10 is compressed and the other return spring 810 is stretched. When the sliding shaft 808 moves in the horizontal position, the contact position of the sliding shaft 808 and the vertical slide of the slide frame 811 can be changed, thereby driving the slide frame 811 to swing with the axis of the rotating tube 803 as the center. When the slide frame 811 swings, it can drive the rotating tube 803 to rotate to a certain extent, thereby driving the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 to swing through the rotating tube 803. When the sector gear 806 is separated from the cross rack 807, the cross rack 807 can return to its original position under the elastic force of the two return springs 810, and finally drive the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 back to its original position, which is convenient for the next swinging movement.

[0072] The feeding drive mechanism 9 includes a driving motor 901 fixed to the side of the storage box 801, and the output shaft of the driving motor 901 is connected to the central shaft 902. The upper and lower ends of the central shaft 902 are respectively rotated on the storage box 801 and the base through the brackets. The storage box 801 is fixed to the base through the vertical frame. A sliding worm 903 is sleeved on the central shaft 902, and a ridge is fixed in the vertical slideway of the sliding worm 903, which slides in the groove on the outer axis surface of the central shaft 902; a friction wheel 904 is fixed on the upper end of the sliding worm 903, and the friction wheel 904 is vertically frictionally connected to the outer disk surface of the linkage disk 905, and the linkage disk 905 is fixed on the rotating shaft 804, and one end of the rotating shaft 804 is located directly below the friction wheel 904; the sliding worm 903 is meshed with a worm gear 906, and the worm gear 906 is fixed to the center of the horizontal shaft 907. The horizontal shaft 907 rotates on the lifting slide 908, and the sliding worm 903 rotates on the lifting slide 90 8, the lifting slide 908 is rotatably connected to two belt rollers 909, and the two belt rollers 909 are connected by a feed belt 910. The feed belt 910 is located below the discharge port of the fine crusher 4, and a driven wheel fixed at the outer end of a belt roller 909 is connected to the driving wheel fixed on the horizontal shaft 907 through a synchronous belt; the lifting slide 908 slides in the middle of multiple columns 911, and the bottom ends of multiple columns 911 are fixed on the base. Multiple columns 911 are slidably connected to a movable bracket 912, and the movable bracket 912 is located between the base and the lifting slide 908. The column 911 is located between the movable bracket 912 and the base and a tensioning spring 913 is sleeved on the column.

[0073] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0074] In a multi-group sorting system for battery crushing and recycling disclosed in the present invention, the driving motor 901 can drive the central shaft 902 to rotate after being started. When the central shaft 902 rotates, the sliding worm 903 can be driven to rotate by the cooperation of the ridges and grooves. When the sliding worm 903 rotates, it can drive the friction wheel 904 to rotate. When the friction wheel 904 rotates, it can drive the linkage disk 905 to rotate through friction transmission, thereby driving the rotating shaft 804 to rotate through the linkage disk 905, so that the material distribution baffle 805 is driven to rotate through the rotation of the rotating shaft 804, thereby realizing batch feeding of materials; when the sliding worm 903 rotates, it can also drive the worm wheel 906 to rotate, and when the worm wheel 906 rotates, it can drive the horizontal shaft 907 to rotate. When the horizontal shaft 907 rotates, the driving wheel thereon can drive the driven wheel to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby driving a belt roller 909 to rotate, and one belt roller 909 drives another belt roller 909 to rotate through the feed belt 910, thereby guiding the materials falling on the feed belt 910;

[0075] In addition, when the conveyor belt 910 receives the screened material, it can also automatically adjust the position of the vertical friction connection between the friction wheel 904 and the outer disk surface of the linkage disk 905 according to the amount of the screened material falling. When the material crushing efficiency inside the fine crusher 4 is high and the discharge speed of the fine crusher 4 is fast, as the weight of the material on the conveyor belt 910 increases, and the belt roller 909 and the conveyor belt 910 are not coordinated with the feeding speed, the downward pressure generated by the conveyor belt 910 increases as the material weight increases, thereby driving the lifting slide 908 to move between the multiple columns 911. The lifting slide 908 slides down a certain distance and presses the movable bracket 912 to move downward, so that the compression amplitude of the multiple tensioning springs 913 becomes larger. At this time, the downward movement of the lifting slide 908 also synchronously drives the sliding worm 903 to move down a certain distance. The sliding worm 903 is provided with two axial retaining rings, which are respectively blocked at the upper and lower ends of the lifting slide 908 to maintain the stability of the sliding worm 903 when the lifting slide 908 moves. When the sliding worm 903 slides downward on the central axis 902, it can drive the friction wheel 904 to move toward the linkage disk 905. 804, and the material feeding amount is reduced, thereby preventing the material from being excessive in the fine crusher 4 and affecting the processing effect.

[0076] A vertical screw 914 is fixed to the base, and the middle portion of the vertical screw 914 slides in the longitudinal hole of the movable bracket 912. The vertical screw 914 is threadedly connected to a screw stop plate, which is blocked above the movable bracket 912. By rotating the screw stop plate, the contact position between the screw stop plate and the vertical screw 914 can be changed, thereby changing the maximum height of the movable bracket 912 and adjusting the contact position between the friction wheel 904 and the linkage plate 905 to meet different usage requirements.

[0077] In one embodiment, the lifting slide 908 is fixed with an inclined material guide port at one end away from the sliding worm, and one end of the conveyor belt is located inside the inclined material guide port to facilitate the discharge of materials.

[0078] In one embodiment, the material dividing baffle 805 is fixed with an arc scraper at one end away from the rotating shaft, and the arc scraper slides on the inner side surface of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802. The setting of the arc scraper can scrape the inner wall of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 to prevent the inner wall of the cylindrical feeding barrel 802 from sticking to the material and affecting the feeding speed.

[0080] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, a multi-group sorting method for battery crushing and recycling is based on any of the multi-group sorting systems for battery crushing and recycling described above, wherein the method includes the following steps:

[0081] Step 1: The material after high-temperature pyrolysis is transported to the first screening mechanism 1 through a closed conveying system for pre-screening to screen out the black powder in the material;

[0082] Step 2: transport the oversize material on the first screening mechanism 1 to the secondary crusher 2 for crushing;

[0083] Step 3: The material crushed by the secondary crusher 2 is transported to the second screening mechanism 3 for screening to screen out the black powder in the material;

[0084] Step 4: transport the oversize material on the second screening mechanism 3 to the fine crusher 4 for crushing;

[0085] Step 5: The material crushed by the fine crusher 4 is transported to the third screening mechanism 5 for screening to screen out the black powder in the material;

[0086] Step 6: The oversize material on the third screening mechanism 5 is transported to the specific gravity separator 6 to separate the copper particles and the aluminum particles through the specific gravity separator 6 .

[0087] First, the material after high-temperature pyrolysis is transported to the first screening mechanism 1 through a closed conveying system for pre-screening, and the black powder in the material is screened out for the first time; then the overscreen material on the first screening mechanism 1 is transported to the medium crusher 2 for crushing. After the medium crusher 2 crushes the material, the crushed material is transported to the second screening mechanism 3 for a second screening, and the black powder in the material is screened out for the second time; then the overscreen material on the second screening mechanism 3 is transported to the fine crusher 4 for crushing. After the fine crusher 4 crushes the material, the crushed material is transported to the third screening mechanism 5 for screening, and the black powder in the material is screened out for the third time. Finally, the overscreen material on the third screening mechanism 5 is transported to the specific gravity separator 6 to separate the copper particles and the aluminum particles through the specific gravity separator 6.

[0088] The disclosed multi-component sorting method for battery crushing and recycling can pre-screen the stripped pole powder through multi-component screening, air separation and gravity sorting of materials after high-temperature pyrolysis, and separate heavy materials such as shells and tabs from electrode materials such as copper foil and aluminum foil through medium crushing and fine crushing. Through the coordination of multi-stage screening and multi-stage crushing, the battery crushing recycling rate is effectively improved, and the maximum recovery of valuable metals can be achieved.
