Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of lithium-ion battery recycling, and in particular to a lithium battery pole piece high-efficiency water stripping device. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are secondary batteries (rechargeable batteries) that primarily rely on the movement of lithium ions between a positive electrode and a negative electrode. They consist of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, an electrolyte, and a casing. In industry, manufacturers primarily use lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, nickel cobalt lithium manganese oxide, and lithium iron phosphate as positive electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries, with natural and artificial graphite as negative electrode active materials. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a widely used positive electrode binder with high viscosity and excellent chemical stability and physical properties. Industrially produced lithium-ion batteries primarily use a solution of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and an organic solvent as the electrolyte, and utilize organic membranes, such as porous polymers like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), as the separator. While lithium-ion batteries are generally considered environmentally friendly and pollution-free, improper recycling of lithium-ion batteries can also cause pollution. Although lithium-ion batteries do not contain toxic heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, and lead, the battery's positive and negative electrode materials, electrolyte, etc. still have a significant impact on the environment and human body.
[0003] If lithium-ion batteries are disposed of using conventional methods (landfill, incineration, composting, etc.), the cobalt, nickel, lithium, manganese, and other metals, as well as various organic and inorganic compounds, contained in the batteries will cause metal pollution, organic pollution, dust pollution, and acid-base pollution. Lithium-ion electrolyte mechanical conversion products, such as LiPF6, lithium hexafluoroarsenate (LiAsF6), lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF3SO3), and hydrofluoric acid (HF), as well as solvents and hydrolysis products such as ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME), methanol, and formic acid, are all toxic. Therefore, used lithium-ion batteries need to be recycled to reduce harm to the natural environment and human health.
[0004] The conventional recycling method for waste lithium batteries often uses coarse crushing. The pulverizer discharge undergoes calcination to deactivate the binder in the black powder. The discharge end is connected to a swing screen, and the outlet is connected to two dust removal devices. The middle outlet of the swing screen is connected to a grinder, and the grinder discharge port is connected to a grinding aggregate. The top powder outlet of the grinding aggregate is connected to three dust removal devices, and the bottom opening of the grinding aggregate is connected to a vibrating screen. The swing screen has three discharge ports: the top discharge port is used to screen out large copper and aluminum particles, the bottom discharge port is used to screen out black powder, and the middle discharge port is used to screen out materials that cannot be separated by specific gravity.
[0005] The black powder obtained through crude crushing and screening contains a large amount of extremely small metal debris. Subsequent black powder utilization contains a large amount of impurities, which greatly reduces the black powder's value. Due to the ductile nature of the collector metal, the crushing process is prone to black powder entrainment, resulting in over 20% black powder loss. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a high-efficiency water stripping device for lithium battery pole pieces, so as to solve the problem that impurities exist in the black powder caused by the crude crushing and screening methods used in the prior art, and at the same time, the crude crushing causes the current collector to easily form black powder entrainment during the crushing process, resulting in black powder loss.

[0037] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0038] like Figure 1-5 The device for efficiently water-stripping lithium battery pole pieces shown includes: a universal wheel 12, a bracket 1, a push handle 11, a stripping water tank 2, a driving device, a conveying device, a flushing device and a main controller 8.
[0039] The bracket 1 is arranged horizontally, with universal wheels 12 at the four corners of the bottom. One end of the top surface is fixedly connected to the longitudinally arranged stripping water tank 2, and the other end is fixedly connected to the longitudinally arranged push handle 11 fixedly connected to the bracket 1. The push handle 11 is arranged vertically, and the top is used to hold and push or pull the bracket 1 to move.
[0040] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the universal wheels 12 and the push handle 11 makes the device movable, and facilitates transporting the device to a site for use or to a warehouse for storage.
[0041] The stripping water tank 2 includes a stripping water trough 21 and an upper box body 22; the bottom surface of the stripping water trough 21 is fixedly connected to the bracket 1, and two drain valves 211 are symmetrically arranged on the same side of the bottom, the left side of the stripping water trough 21 is provided with a step, and the top is provided with an upward opening; the upper box body 22 is rectangular, longitudinally arranged at the top of the stripping water trough 21, and the bottom is provided with another opening with a size and shape that is adapted to the top opening of the stripping trough 21; a feed port 221 is provided at one end of the upper box body 22, and the feed port 221 is rectangular, and a door panel 2211 is provided at the feed port 221, and one side of the door panel 2211 is rotatably connected to one side of the feed port 221, and the other side of the door panel 2211 is provided with a sliding switch 2212 for controlling whether the feed port 221 is closed; a discharge port 222 arranged obliquely downward is formed between the bottom edge part of the other end of the upper box body 22 and the top of the stripping water trough 21.
[0042] In this embodiment, the structure of the stripping water tank 2 is simple and easy to assemble and use. The size of the feed port 221 is convenient for inserting battery electrodes. The door panel 2211 and the sliding switch 2212 are arranged to facilitate closing and opening the feed port 221. Closing the feed port after inserting the battery electrodes can prevent external dust and other impurities from entering the stripping water tank 2, thereby reducing the purity of the black powder. Preferably, the size of the discharge port 222 is designed to be relatively small, which can also reduce the problem of external impurities interfering with the purity of the black powder.
[0043] The conveying device includes rollers 91, an upper grid conveyor belt 101, and a lower grid conveyor belt 102. The rollers 91 are arranged horizontally inside the upper box 22 and the stripping water tank 21, with their ends rotatably connected to the upper box 22 or the stripping water tank 21. There are two rollers 91 connected to the upper box 22 and two rollers 91 connected to the stripping water tank 21, and they are arranged horizontally. The upper grid conveyor belt 101 is installed inside the upper box 22, forming a belt-roller transmission with the rollers 91. The lower grid conveyor belt 102 is installed inside the stripping water tank 21, forming a belt-roller transmission with the rollers 91. The conveyor belt at the bottom of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 is set at the bottom opening of the upper box 22; the conveyor belt at the top of the lower grid conveyor belt 102 is set at the top opening of the stripping water tank 2. The conveyor belt at the bottom of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 and the conveyor belt at the top of the lower grid conveyor belt 102 are arranged parallel to each other, used to form a sandwich layer that fixes and drives the battery electrodes. The horizontal distance between the top conveyor belt of the lower grid conveyor belt 102 and the feed port 221 is smaller than the distance between the bottom conveyor belt of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 and the feed port 221, so that the lower grid conveyor belt 102 forms a discharge area at the feed port 221, which is used for the battery electrodes to be put into the interlayer by the lower grid conveyor belt 102 after the battery electrodes are put into the feed port 221.
[0044] In this embodiment, the conveyor is configured to fix and maintain the trajectory of the battery electrode sheets. The mesh size of the upper mesh conveyor belt 101 and the lower mesh conveyor belt 102 should be smaller than the size of the battery electrode sheets to prevent the battery electrode sheets from passing through the mesh and falling into the stripping tank 21. Preferably, the mesh size is 10*10 mm, and the upper mesh conveyor belt 101 and the lower mesh conveyor belt 102 are made of nylon.
[0045] The driving device includes a driving motor 71, a gear box 72 and a gear; the gear box 72 is arranged longitudinally and is vertically fixed on the top surface of the step of the stripping water tank 2; the left side of the gear box 72 is fixedly connected to the driving motor 71; the output shaft of the driving motor 71 passes through the left side wall of the gear box 72 and is fixedly connected to a gear; the upper part of the gear box 72 is rotatably connected to another gear, and gear transmission is performed between the two gears; the lower gear is fixedly connected to the end of the roller 91 arranged at the end of the lower grid conveyor belt 102 away from the discharge port 222, and the upper gear is fixedly connected to the end of the roller 91 arranged at the end of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 away from the discharge port 222.
[0046] In this embodiment, the gears and the drive motor 71 are configured to cause the upper grid conveyor belt 101 and the lower grid conveyor belt 102 to move relative to each other, so that the positions of the battery electrodes in the interlayer are relatively stationary, and no friction occurs between the battery electrodes or between the battery electrodes and the upper grid conveyor belt 101 or the lower grid conveyor belt 102, thereby preventing the generation of metal powder that reduces the purity of the black powder or the battery electrodes from being broken and causing the inclusion of black powder. Preferably, both sides of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 and the lower grid conveyor belt 102 should be provided with an outer edge that is thicker than the thickness of the middle portion of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 or the lower grid conveyor belt 102, and the outer edge of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 and the outer edge of the lower grid conveyor belt 102 abut against each other during the movement of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 and the lower grid conveyor belt 102, thereby further preventing the battery electrodes from falling into the stripping tank 21. At the same time, the outer edge of the lower grid conveyor belt 102 can also serve to gather the battery electrodes.
[0047] The flushing device includes a high-pressure pump 3, a pulse generator 4, an upper connecting pipe 621, a lower high-pressure nozzle 632, a lower connecting pipe 622, a lower high-pressure nozzle and an automatic cleaning filter 5; a drain valve 211 at the bottom of the stripping water tank 2 is connected to the high-pressure pump 3, the pulse generator 4 and the automatic cleaning filter 5 in sequence through a joint 64, and forms a pipeline for liquid flow; the end of the pipeline away from the drain valve 211 is connected to the upper high-pressure pipeline 611 and the lower high-pressure pipeline 612; one end of the upper high-pressure pipeline 611 passes horizontally through the left side wall of the upper box body 22 and is connected to the upper connecting pipe 621 arranged longitudinally in the upper triangular area Fixed connection, a plurality of upper high-pressure nozzles 631 are provided on the side of the upper connecting pipe 621 away from the upper high-pressure pipeline 611; one end of the lower high-pressure pipeline 612 passes horizontally through the left side wall of the stripping water tank 21, and is connected to the lower connecting pipe 622 longitudinally arranged in the lower triangular area, and a plurality of lower high-pressure nozzles are provided on the side of the lower connecting pipe 622 away from the lower high-pressure pipeline 612; the number of the lower high-pressure nozzles 632 and the upper high-pressure nozzles 631 are the same, and the positions are offset, which is used to avoid the imbalance of the battery pole position during the process of flushing the battery pole, and the black powder on the battery pole is not washed cleanly, which reduces the flushing efficiency and causes the loss of black powder. The high-pressure pump 3 is used to control the pressure of the water in the control pipeline so that the water sprayed from the lower high-pressure nozzle 632 and the upper high-pressure nozzle 631 have the same and continuous pressure; the pulse generator 4 is used to control the pulse of the water sprayed from the lower high-pressure nozzle 632 and the upper high-pressure nozzle 632, so that the sprayed water has more impact and the flushing effect is better; the automatic cleaning filter 5 is used to filter black powder, and a black powder outlet 51 is provided at the bottom of the automatic cleaning filter 5.
[0048] In this embodiment, the high-pressure pump 3 and the pulse generator 4 are used to control the pressure and impact of the water in the pipeline, so that the water in the pipeline can move upward to the automatic cleaning filter 5 and then move to the upper high-pressure pipeline 611 and the lower high-pressure pipeline 612, and then be sprayed out from the upper high-pressure nozzle 631 and the lower high-pressure nozzle 632. The upper high-pressure nozzle 631 and the upper connecting pipe 621 are rotatably connected to facilitate adjustment of the angle of the water spray to achieve a better flushing effect; the lower high-pressure nozzle 632 and the lower connecting pipe 622 are rotatably connected to facilitate adjustment of the angle of the water spray to achieve a better flushing effect. The pulse and pressure range can also be adjusted by the high-pressure pump 3 and the pulse generator 4 to achieve a better flushing effect. Preferably, the pulse pressure is 0-15 bar, and the frequency range is between 20-30 Hz.
[0049] It also includes a porous plate isolation cover 112 and an isolation cover 111 for improving the flushing effect. The isolation cover 111 is installed in the upper box body 22, and the isolation cover 111 is fixedly connected to the left and right side walls of the upper box body 22; the top of the isolation cover 111 is rotatably connected to a horizontally arranged roller 91, which is used to form an upper triangular area in the middle of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 to avoid friction between the isolation cover 111 and the upper grid conveyor belt 101, making it easier to install the isolation cover 111; the bottom of the isolation cover 111 is provided with an opening that can cover part of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 at the top of the interlayer; the porous plate isolation cover 112 is installed in the stripping tank 21, and the porous plate isolation cover 112 is connected to the stripping tank 21. The left and right side walls are fixedly connected; the bottom of the porous plate isolation cover 112 is rotatably connected to a horizontally arranged roller 91, which is used to form a lower triangular area in the middle of the lower grid conveyor belt 102, preventing friction between the lower grid conveyor belt 102 and the porous plate isolation cover 112, and facilitating the installation of the porous plate isolation cover 112; an opening is provided on the upper side of the porous plate isolation cover 112; the openings on the isolation cover 111 and the porous plate isolation cover 112 are of the same shape and size, positioned opposite each other, and fixedly connected. The middle of the isolation cover 111 and the middle of the porous plate isolation cover 112 form the core area for stripping black powder. The left side of the porous plate isolation cover 112 and the left side of the isolation cover 111 are both provided with holes for the lower high-pressure pipeline 612 or the upper high-pressure pipeline 611 to pass through and connect to the lower connecting pipe 622 disposed in the porous plate isolation cover 112 or the upper connecting pipe 621 disposed in the isolation cover 111.
[0050] In this embodiment, the porous plate isolation cover 112 and the interior of the isolation cover 111 form the core area where the lower high-pressure nozzle 632 and the upper high-pressure nozzle 631 spray water to remove the black powder on the battery electrode. Spraying water to remove the black powder in the core area can prevent the electrode from detaching. The isolation cover 111 can prevent water from splashing out, while the water reflected from the top can continue to rinse the battery electrode. The porous plate isolation cover 112 prevents water from splashing out while facilitating the discharge of the rinse water. Preferably, the side of the upper box 22 away from the drive motor 71 can be opened and closed to facilitate maintenance of the conveyor device, isolation cover 111, and porous plate isolation cover 112.
[0051] The conveying device also includes a guide roller 92; the guide roller 92 is arranged horizontally and is rotatably connected to the left and right side walls of the porous plate isolation cover 112 or the left and right side walls of the isolation cover 111, and is used to guide the lower grid conveyor belt 102 and the upper grid conveyor belt 101; at the same time, the number and position of the guide rollers 92 in the isolation cover 111 and the porous plate isolation cover 112 correspond, so that the conveyor belt at the bottom of the upper grid conveyor belt 101 and the conveyor belt at the top of the lower grid conveyor belt 102 are divided into several parts, and the interlayer is also divided into several parts accordingly, which in disguise reduces the distance between the two ends of the interlayer, making the interlayer more stable in the process of fixing and transporting the battery electrodes, and reducing the possibility of relative displacement between the battery electrodes due to gravity, the interlayer fixing or the transportation of the battery electrodes being unreliable, or the interlayer gap in the middle part being too small, thereby generating metal powder by friction.
[0052] In this embodiment, the guide roller 92 can guide and protect the battery pole pieces, which is beneficial to further improve the purity of the black powder. At the same time, the guide roller 92 can also make the process of fixing and conveying the battery pole pieces more stable.
[0053] The main controller 8 is a PLC control cabinet, which is fixedly mounted on the step of the peeling tank 21 and has an integrated touch screen 81 on its left side. The main controller 8 is electrically connected to the drive motor 71, high-pressure pump 3, pulse generator 4, and automatic cleaning filter 5, and is controlled via the integrated touch screen 81.
[0054] In this embodiment, the integrated touch screen 81 has a simple structure and is easy to operate, and can better control the operation of the device.
[0055] Working principle: Push the device to a suitable site through the push handle 11, adjust the angle of the lower high-pressure nozzle 632 and the upper high-pressure nozzle 631, open the feed port 221 through the sliding switch 2212, and put the pre-treated battery pole pieces from the feed port 221; put the battery pole pieces onto the top surface of the lower grid conveyor belt 102; control the driving device, high-pressure pump 3, pulse generator 4 and automatic cleaning filter 5 to start through the main controller 8, and adjust the pressure that the high-pressure pump 3 can provide and the pulse frequency of the pulse generator 4 according to the flushing needs; the lower grid transmission belt drives the battery pole pieces to move and enter the interlayer; as the interlayer moves, the battery pole pieces The upper and lower sides of the sheet are rinsed by the lower high-pressure nozzle 632 and the upper high-pressure nozzle 631, and the black powder is separated from the battery electrode and mixed with water to form a mixed liquid. The rinsed battery electrode is discharged from the discharge port 222; the mixed liquid flows from the porous plate isolation cover 112 into the stripping water tank 21, and then flows into the pipeline; under the action of the high-pressure pump 3 and the pulse generator 4, the mixed liquid in the pipeline is pressurized and flows into the self-cleaning filter; the self-cleaning filter separates the water and the black powder, and the black powder is discharged from the black powder outlet 51, and the water flows from the upper high-pressure pipeline 611 to the upper high-pressure nozzle 631 or from the lower high-pressure pipeline 612 to the lower high-pressure nozzle 632, and then is recycled.
[0056] In this embodiment, the interlayer formed between the upper grid conveyor belt 101 and the lower grid conveyor belt 102 fixes and determines the transmission track of the battery pole piece, thereby avoiding damage to the battery pole piece; on the battery pole piece after pretreatment, the adhesion between the black powder and the pole piece is reduced, and the upper high-pressure nozzle 631 and the lower high-pressure nozzle 632 respectively flush the black powder on the top and bottom surfaces of the pole piece, and the multi-frequency pulse high-pressure water flushing of the pole piece causes less damage to the battery pole piece, thereby avoiding the possible entrainment of black powder caused by damage and bending of the battery pole piece; at the same time, the flushing rate is fast and relatively clean, and there are fewer metal debris mixed in the black powder, which improves the stripping efficiency of the black powder on the pole piece, and relatively pure black powder can be obtained; the device structure is relatively simple, and it is easy to assemble and use.
