[0056] In use, first, when a pile of unsorted batteries is poured onto the waste dry battery sorting and pouring plate and is detected by the first sensing switch, the first motor starts to work, and the first sliding block 7 moves upward, at the same time, the battery pouring plate 2 is turned over. At this time, the battery pouring plate 2 interacts with the button battery baffle 11, so that the gap at the right end is blocked, only a small gap is left, which is just enough for the button battery to pass through, and the button battery enters the button battery collection cavity 3 through the inclined button battery channel 12, while other cylindrical batteries cannot pass through and are blocked by the button battery baffle 11. When the battery pouring plate 2 returns to the original position, the cylindrical batteries continue to be stored on the battery pouring plate 2. Such a cycle works 5 times to achieve that all button batteries are sorted. Thereafter, the first motor is reversed to make the waste dry battery sorting and pouring plate turn over downward and fall into the guide plate 22.

[0057] The fifth and seventh battery sorting system adopts the principle of the slider-crank mechanism, and each part is coordinated to concentrate the sorting work of the 5# battery and the 7# battery together.

When the battery passes through the sorting strip hole and enters the fifth and seventh battery sorting cavity 16, the second sensing switch controls the second motor to start, and the up-and-down reciprocating lifting slider 15 slides. When the lifting slider 15 moves, the second sliding block 14 moves, and the fifth and seventh batteries are orderly sent into the inclined slide 18 through the restriction and shunt of the baffle 17 and the lifting slider 15, and finally enter the fifth and seventh battery collection cavity 4.

[0058] The last battery is not screened by the strip hole according to the size, and directly enters the first battery transfer frame 33 to slow down the transfer of the first battery and make it enter the first battery collecting cavity stably.

[0059] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application. Any simple modification, change and equivalent change of the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present application are still within the protection scope of the technical scheme of the present application.
