[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, Example 1 of the magnetic separation method is provided.
[0038] The magnetic separation method of lithium battery fragments is performed using a magnetic separation device 6, which includes a motor 61, a pulley 62, a strong magnetic wheel 63, a transmission belt 64 and a discharge channel 65. The pulley 62 or the strong magnetic wheel 63 is connected to the motor 61 by transmission, the strong magnetic wheel 63 is parallel to the axis of the pulley 62 and is connected by transmission through the transmission belt 64, and there are two discharge channels 65 and they are arranged below the strong magnetic wheel 63. The two discharge channels 65 are respectively arranged on both sides of the vertical plane where the axis of the strong magnetic wheel 63 is located;
[0039] The strong magnetic wheel 63 includes a strong magnetic core composed of high-strength rare earth neodymium iron boron, and the magnetic field strength can reach 16000gs. The strong magnetism can induce the lithium iron phosphate to generate magnetism.
[0040] The magnetic separation method comprises the following steps:
[0041] The lithium battery fragments are transmitted to the conveyor belt 64 ; after the lithium battery is crushed by the crushing module, a number of fragments are generated, and the fragments fall onto the conveyor belt 64 in a loose state.
[0042] The motor 61 drives the pulley 62 or the transmission belt 64 to rotate, so that the transmission belt 64 performs a cyclic reciprocating movement; the transmission belt 64 is made of non-magnetic rubber or stainless steel, and the surface of the transmission belt 64 can also form a plurality of grooves perpendicular to its moving direction, thereby improving the performance of the transmission belt 64 in transmitting fragments so that it overcomes the magnetic force of the strong magnetic wheel 63 and moves.
[0043] The lithium battery fragments are transmitted to the discharge channel 65 via the conveyor belt 64. When the fragments pass through the strong magnetic wheel 63, the fragments without lithium iron phosphate fall into a discharge channel 65, while the fragments containing lithium iron phosphate are magnetized and adsorbed on the conveyor belt 64 by the strong magnetic wheel 63. The fragments containing lithium iron phosphate cross one discharge channel 65 and move to the top of another discharge channel 65. At the same time, the fragments containing lithium iron phosphate break away from the adsorption of the strong magnetic wheel 63 and fall into different discharge channels 65 with the fragments without lithium iron phosphate.
[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, not all lithium iron phosphate and non-magnetic fragments can fall into the two discharge channels 65 respectively. In the process of the fragments falling onto the conveyor belt 64 in a loose state: if the lithium iron phosphate covers the non-magnetic fragments, when the non-magnetic fragments are separated from the conveyor belt 64, the lithium iron phosphate above them will also be separated, causing the lithium iron phosphate to fall into the non-designated discharge channel 65. At the same time, when the lithium iron phosphate is adsorbed by the strong magnetic wheel 63, the non-magnetic fragments will also be pressed by the lithium iron phosphate, which will prevent the non-magnetic fragments from falling into the designated discharge channel 65.
[0045] Further:
[0046] For the technical problems in Example 1, Figure 3 As shown, based on Example 1, Example 2 is provided.
[0047] The magnetic separation device 6 further includes a discharge valve 66 and a first electromagnet 67. The discharge valve 66 is arranged above the conveyor belt 64, and the output end of the discharge valve 66 faces the conveyor belt 64. The first electromagnet 67 is suspended above the conveyor belt 64 and is located between the discharge channel 65 and the strong magnetic wheel 63.
[0048] The magnetic separation method also includes the following steps:
[0049] Before the lithium battery fragments are transmitted to the strong magnetic wheel 63 through the conveyor belt 64, the first electromagnet 67 is started to magnetize and adsorb the lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments in the lithium battery fragments until all the lithium iron phosphate-free fragments pass under the first electromagnet 67, and then the first electromagnet 67 is turned off, and the adsorbed lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments fall onto the conveyor belt 64; the function of the first electromagnet 67 is to separate the lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments from the lithium iron phosphate-free fragments in the lithium battery fragments, so that both are located on the conveyor belt 64 but do not cover each other.
[0050] When the first electromagnet 67 is activated, the unloading valve 66 is closed;
[0051] When the first electromagnet 67 is closed, the unloading valve 66 is activated to transfer the lithium battery fragments to the conveyor belt 64 .
[0052] The unloading valve 66 is used to intermittently feed the conveyor belt 64 to prevent the lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments from covering subsequent lithium battery fragments when the first electromagnet 67 is closed to transfer the lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments to the conveyor belt 64 .
[0053] Optional:
[0054] For the technical problems in Example 1, Figure 4 As shown, based on Example 1, Example 3 is provided.
[0055] The magnetic separation device 6 further includes a conveyor belt vibrator 68 and a second electromagnet 69, both of which are arranged below the conveyor belt 64, and the actuator of the conveyor belt vibrator 68 faces the conveyor belt 64, and the second electromagnet 69 is located between the conveyor belt vibrator 68 and the strong magnetic wheel 63 and close to the conveyor belt vibrator 68;
[0056] The magnetic separation method also includes the following steps:
[0057] The conveyor belt vibrator 68 vibrates the conveyor belt 64 so that the lithium battery fragments moving toward the strong magnetic wheel 63 through the conveyor belt 64 are thrown into the air;
[0058] The second electromagnet 69 magnetizes and absorbs the lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments in the lithium battery fragments. The lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments fall from the air under the action of gravity and magnetism and cover the conveyor belt 64, and the non-lithium iron phosphate fragments fall from the air under the action of gravity and cover the lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments.
[0059] Specifically, the conveyor belt vibrator 68 includes a vibration hammer driven by a motor, and the vibration hammer hammers the bottom surface of the conveyor belt 64 from bottom to top.
[0060] The lithium battery fragments transmitted to the strong magnetic wheel 63 do not include the situation where the lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments cover the non-lithium iron phosphate fragments, so the technical problem in Example 1 will not occur.
[0061] Further:
[0062] In order to provide the magnetic separation device 6 with lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments and lithium iron phosphate-free fragments, such as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, Example 4 is provided.

[0066] The lithium battery is repeatedly crushed by the combined operation of the crushing module, the first screen sorting device 4 and the transmission device 5 until lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments and lithium iron phosphate-free fragments that are easily magnetically separated by the magnetic separation device 6 are separated.

[0071] The roller crusher 3 has an input end connected to the output end of the second screen sorting device 2. The roller crusher 3 is used for secondary crushing of fragments without lithium iron phosphate and fragments containing lithium iron phosphate.

[0072] Specific:
[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, the second screen sorting device 2 also includes a linear slide 22 connected to the second screen 21, and the second screen 21 can slide on the linear slide 22.

The second screen 21 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 24 through a crank-connecting rod mechanism 23, so that the second screen 21 can perform linear reciprocating movement, so that the lithium iron phosphate powder on the second screen 21 falls into the collecting box 25, and the lithium iron phosphate-free fragments and lithium iron phosphate-containing fragments on the second screen 21 fall into the input end of the roller crusher 3 through the discharge port 26.
[0074] Further:

[0084] The number of the first screens 41 and their inclination angles help to move large fragments to the inside of the second channel 43 , thereby reducing the number of large fragments entering the magnetic separation device 6 through the first channel 42 .
