Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of copper, cobalt, and nickel recycling technology, specifically to an apparatus for recovering and separating copper, cobalt, and nickel from alloy materials. Background Technology
[0002] Cobalt-nickel-copper-manganese-iron alloy is an intermediate product obtained by smelting waste ion batteries with slag-forming agents such as soft manganese ore. It has high content of cobalt, copper, nickel, iron and manganese: Co 5-35%, Ni 1-10%, Cu 5-35%, Fe 10-50%, Mn 5-40%. It has high economic value and can be reused by recovering and separating copper, cobalt and nickel from this alloy material.
[0003] The traditional process for recovering and separating copper, cobalt, and nickel from alloy materials involves melting, blowing and slag formation, slag removal, powdering, and oxidative leaching. During powdering, a water mist method is used to convert the alloy melt into alloy powder. However, the high-pressure water mist travels very fast, causing some of the alloy powder to be carried to the inner wall of the working chamber. After cooling, the powder adheres to the inner wall. The traditional method involves scraping the powder off the inner wall with a scraper, but this scraper, being very sharp, can scratch the inner wall. Simultaneously, scratching the inner wall generates powder of the same material as the working chamber, which falls into the alloy powder aqueous solution below, contaminating the finished product. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a device for recovering and separating copper, cobalt, and nickel from alloy materials. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an apparatus for recovering and separating copper, cobalt, and nickel from alloy materials, thus solving the problems mentioned above.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an apparatus for recovering and separating copper, cobalt, and nickel from alloy materials, comprising a working box, on which two threaded cylinders are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the working box, each threaded cylinder being provided with a screw, and each screw having an extension rod extending into the working box at its lower end, the lower ends of the two extension rods being jointly mounted with a first square tube, the side of the first square tube being provided with a plurality of evenly distributed and inclined jet nozzles, the upper end of each screw being provided with an L-shaped plate, the lower ends of the two L-shaped plates being jointly mounted with a square plate fitted onto the working box, each inner side of the square plate being provided with a heating plate that is in contact with the side of the working box, a first motor being mounted on one side of one threaded cylinder on the upper surface of the working box, a second gear being mounted on the drive end of the first motor, a first gear being mounted on the side of the threaded cylinder corresponding to the second gear, a first synchronous pulley being mounted on the side of each threaded cylinder below the first gear, and a synchronous belt being jointly provided on the two first synchronous pulleys.
[0006] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a first mounting base is installed at the lower port of the work box. A first through hole aligned with the lower port is opened on the upper surface of the first mounting base. A first cavity is opened on one side of the first through hole inside the first mounting base. A first limiting plate is provided in the first cavity. A first baffle extending into the first through hole is installed on the side of the first limiting plate. An output pipe is installed at the lower port of the first through hole.
[0007] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a mounting plate is installed on one side of the lower surface of the working box and the first mounting base. A third gear is rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting plate. A first connecting plate extending to the outside of the first mounting base is installed on the other side of the first limiting plate. A first rack meshing with the third gear is installed at the end of the first connecting plate. A second rack meshing with the third gear is provided above the first rack. A mounting rod fixedly connected to the square plate is installed at the upper end of the second rack.
[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a constant temperature vessel is provided inside the working box, and a second mounting base is installed at the lower port of the constant temperature vessel. A second through hole aligned with the lower port of the constant temperature vessel is installed on the upper surface of the second mounting base. A second cavity is opened on one side of the second through hole inside the second mounting base. A second limiting plate is provided in the second cavity. A second baffle extending into the second through hole is installed on one side of the second limiting plate.
[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a second connecting rod extending to the outside of the second mounting base is installed on the other side of the second limiting plate. A second motor is installed on one side of the second connecting rod on the inner wall of the working box. A turntable is installed on the drive end of the second motor. A movable plate is rotatably installed on the other end of the second connecting rod. The other end of the movable plate is rotatably connected to the side of the turntable. A second square tube is installed at the lower end of the second through hole.
[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the lower surface of the thermostatic reactor is rectangularly equipped with four fixing rods, and the lower ends of the four fixing rods are jointly equipped with an annular tube. Several evenly distributed and inclined atomizing nozzles are installed on the side of the annular tube. A water inlet pipe is installed at the input end of the annular tube. An input pipe extending to the outside of the working chamber is installed on the upper surface of the thermostatic reactor. A first solenoid valve is provided on the input pipe. An air outlet pipe is provided on the side of the working chamber. The input end of the square tube is connected to the output end of an external air pump.
[0011] Specifically, the following steps are included:
[0012] S1. Open the first solenoid valve. The alloy melt from the previous process enters the thermostatic kettle through the input pipe. Water enters the annular pipe through the water inlet pipe. Then, high-pressure water mist is sprayed out by each atomizing nozzle. Then, the second motor is turned on. The running second motor drives the second connecting rod to move left and right through the movable plate. The left and right movement of the second connecting rod drives the second baffle to move left and right, thereby causing the second through hole to open intermittently, so that the alloy melt flows out of the second square pipe intermittently.
[0013] S2. The alloy melt flowing out from the second square tube turns into powder mixed with water after encountering high-pressure water mist and falls into the working box. Some of the alloy powder will be carried to the inner wall of the working box by the rapidly moving water mist. When the alloy powder cools down, it will adhere to the inner wall of the working box until all the alloy melt in the constant temperature autoclave is used up.
[0014] S3. Turn on the external air pump, heating plate, and first motor. The air pump delivers airflow to the first square tube through the delivery connection pipe. Then, high-pressure gas is ejected from each jet nozzle. The running first motor drives the nearby threaded cylinder to rotate through the second gear and the first gear. Then, through the first synchronous pulley and the synchronous belt, it drives another threaded cylinder to rotate in the same direction, driving the two screws to descend, which in turn drives the first square tube and square plate to descend. The four running heating plates heat the parts of the working box that are in contact with it. As a result, the alloy powder on the heated part of the inner wall of the working box softens and its adhesion decreases. Then, the high-pressure gas sprayed onto the heated powder causes the powder to fall off the inner wall of the working box. As the heating plates and jet nozzles continue to descend, all the powder adhering to the inner wall of the working box is cleaned from top to bottom. The fallen powder falls into the powder-water mixture below.
[0015] S4. During the descent of the square plate, the second rack descends via the mounting rod. The descending second rack drives the third gear to rotate, and the rotating third gear drives the mounting plate to move. The moving first rack drives the first baffle to move via the first connecting plate, opening the first through hole. At the same time, when the second rack passes the gear, it continues to descend without driving the third gear to rotate. Afterward, the water and alloy powder mixture in the working box is discharged through the output pipe. When the square plate reaches the bottom, the powder cleaning of the inner wall of the working box is completed, and all the powder solution inside the working box is discharged.
[0016] S5. The first motor drives the second gear to reverse. Through the above operation, the two threaded cylinders rotate in opposite directions, driving the two screws to rise, which in turn drives the first square tube and the square tube to rise until they return to their original positions. At the same time, the rising square plate drives the second rack to rise through the mounting rod. When the rising second rack contacts the third gear, it drives the third gear to move in the opposite direction, which drives the first rack to move in the opposite direction and drives the first baffle to move in the opposite direction and enter the first through hole, so that the first through hole is closed, and the next powder making can be carried out. Beneficial effects
[0017] This invention provides an apparatus for recovering and separating copper, cobalt, and nickel from alloy materials. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. An apparatus for recovering and separating copper, cobalt, and nickel from alloy materials. First, a heating plate heats the outer wall of the working chamber, transferring heat to the powder adhering to the inner wall, softening the alloy powder and reducing its adhesion. Then, high-pressure gas from various high-pressure nozzles blows the softened alloy powder off the inner wall. Simultaneously, two components move from the top to the bottom of the working chamber, cleaning the powder adhering to the inner wall instead of scraping it off with a scraper. This avoids scratching the inner wall, prevents the generation of new powder, and avoids contaminating the alloy powder. During the cleaning process, as the square plate descends, it drives the first baffle away from the first through-hole via two racks and a third gear, opening the first through-hole. The alloy powder solution inside the working chamber can then be discharged through the output pipe from the first through-hole. Thus, the discharge operation is performed simultaneously with the cleaning of the powder adhering to the inner wall. Discharge is completed when the inner wall is cleaned, without increasing the overall operation time, thus improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-10This invention provides a technical solution for a device for recovering and separating copper, cobalt, and nickel from alloy materials: The device includes a working box 1. Two threaded cylinders 2 are rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the working box 1. Each threaded cylinder 2 is equipped with a screw 3. An extension rod 4 extending into the working box 1 is mounted at the lower end of each screw 3. A first square tube 5 is mounted at the lower end of both extension rods 4. Several evenly distributed and inclined jet nozzles 6 are mounted on the side of the first square tube 5. An L-shaped plate 7 is mounted at the upper end of each screw 3. A square plate 8 fitted onto the working box 1 is mounted at the lower end of both L-shaped plates 7. A heating plate 9 is mounted on each inner side of the square plate 8, which is in contact with the side of the working box 1. A first motor 11 is mounted on one side of one of the threaded cylinders 2 on the upper surface of the working box 1. A second gear 12 is mounted on the driving end of the first motor 11. A first gear 10 meshing with the second gear 12 is mounted on the side of the threaded cylinder 2. The side of each threaded cylinder 2 is connected to the first gear 10. Below each of the 0 components, a first synchronous pulley 13 is installed. A synchronous belt 14 is provided on both first synchronous pulleys 13. In use, the external air pump, heating plate 9, and first motor 11 are turned on. The air pump delivers airflow to the first square tube 5 through the delivery connection pipe. Then, high-pressure gas is sprayed out by each jet nozzle 6. The running first motor 11 drives the nearby threaded cylinder 2 to rotate through the second gear 12 and the first gear 10. Then, through the first synchronous pulley 13 and the synchronous belt 14, it drives another threaded cylinder 2 to rotate in the same direction, driving the two screws 3 to descend, which in turn drives the first square tube 5 and the square plate 8 to descend. The four running heating plates 9 heat the parts of the working box 1 that are in contact with it. As a result, the alloy powder on the heated part of the inner wall of the working box 1 softens and its adhesion decreases. Then, the high-pressure gas sprayed onto the heated powder causes the powder to fall off the inner wall of the working box 1. As the heating plates 9 and jet nozzles 6 continue to descend, all the powder adhering to the inner wall of the working box 1 is cleaned from top to bottom. The fallen powder falls into the powder-water mixture below.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and 7A first mounting base 15 is installed at the lower port of the -8 work box 1. A first through hole 16 aligned with the lower port is opened on the upper surface of the first mounting base 15. A first cavity 18 is opened on one side of the first through hole 16 inside the first mounting base 15. A first limiting plate 19 is provided in the first cavity 18. A first baffle 20 extending into the first through hole 16 is installed on the side of the first limiting plate 19. An output pipe 17 is installed at the lower port of the first through hole 16. A mounting plate 21 is installed on one side of the lower surface of the work box 1 on the first mounting base 15. A third gear 22 is rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting plate 21. A first connecting plate extending to the outside of the first mounting base 15 is installed on the other side of the first limiting plate 19. A gear 22 is installed at the end of the first connecting plate. The first rack 23 meshes with the gear 22. Above the first rack 23, a second rack 26 meshes with the third gear 22. The upper end of the second rack 26 is equipped with a mounting rod 25 that is fixedly connected to the square plate 8. During use, as the square plate 8 descends, the mounting rod 25 drives the second rack 26 to descend. The descending second rack 26 drives the third gear 22 to rotate. The rotating third gear 22 drives the first rack 23 to move. The moving first rack drives the first baffle 20 to move through the first connecting plate 24, opening the first through hole 16. At the same time, when the second rack 26 passes the third gear 22, it continues to descend and does not drive the third gear 22 to rotate. Afterward, the water and alloy powder mixture in the working box 1 is discharged through the output pipe 17.
[0033] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5-6 and Figure 10The working chamber 1 contains a thermostatic vessel 37. A second mounting base 27 is installed at the lower port of the thermostatic vessel 37. A second through hole 28 aligned with the lower port of the thermostatic vessel 37 is installed on the upper surface of the second mounting base 27. A second cavity 29 is formed inside the second mounting base 27 on one side of the second through hole 28. A second limiting plate 30 is provided in the second cavity 29. A second baffle 31 extending into the second through hole 28 is installed on one side of the second limiting plate 30. A second baffle 31 extending into the second through hole 28 is installed on the other side of the second limiting plate 30. The second connecting rod 32 is located outside the mounting base 27. A second motor 33 is installed on one side of the working box 1, and a turntable 34 is installed on the drive end of the second motor 33. A movable plate 35 is rotatably installed on the other end of the second connecting rod 32. The other end of the movable plate 35 is rotatably connected to the side of the turntable 34. A second square tube 36 is installed at the lower end of the second through hole 28. Four fixed rods 40 are installed in a rectangular shape on the lower surface of the thermostatic kettle 37. An annular tube 41 is installed at the lower end of the four fixed rods 40. Several evenly distributed and inclined atomizing nozzles 42 are installed on the side of the pipe 41. A water inlet pipe 43 is installed at the input end of the annular pipe 41. An input pipe 38 extending to the outside of the working chamber 1 is installed on the upper surface of the thermostatic reactor 37. A first solenoid valve 39 is installed on the input pipe 38. An air outlet pipe 44 is installed on the side of the working chamber 1. The input end of the first square pipe 5 is connected to the output end of an external air pump. In use, the first solenoid valve 39 is opened, and the alloy melt from the previous process enters the thermostatic reactor 37 through the input pipe 38. Water enters the annular pipe 41 through the inlet pipe 43, and then high-pressure water mist is sprayed out by each atomizing nozzle 42. Then the second motor 33 is turned on. The running second motor 33 drives the second connecting rod 32 to move left and right through the movable plate 35. The left and right movement of the second connecting rod 32 drives the second baffle 31 to move left and right, thereby causing the second through hole 28 to open intermittently, so that the alloy melt flows out of the second square pipe 36 intermittently. The alloy melt flowing out of the second square pipe 36 turns into powder mixed with water after encountering the high-pressure water mist and falls into the working box 1.
[0034] Specifically, the following steps are included:
[0035] S1. Open the first solenoid valve 39. The alloy melt from the previous process enters the thermostatic kettle 37 through the input pipe 38. Water enters the annular pipe 41 through the water inlet pipe 43. Then, high-pressure water mist is sprayed out by each atomizing nozzle 42. Then, the second motor 33 is turned on. The running second motor 33 drives the second connecting rod 32 to move left and right through the movable plate 35. The left and right movement of the second connecting rod 32 drives the second baffle 31 to move left and right, thereby causing the second through hole 28 to open intermittently, and causing the alloy melt to flow out of the second square pipe 36 intermittently.
[0036] S2. The alloy melt flowing out from the second square tube 36 turns into powder mixed with water after encountering high-pressure water mist and falls into the working box 1. Some of the alloy powder will be carried to the inner wall of the working box 1 by the rapidly moving water mist. When the alloy powder cools down, it will adhere to the inner wall of the working box 1 until all the alloy melt in the constant temperature vessel 37 is used up.
[0037] S3. Turn on the external air pump, heating plate 9, and first motor 11. The air pump delivers airflow to the first square tube 5 through the delivery connection pipe. Then, high-pressure gas is ejected from each jet nozzle 6. The running first motor 11 drives the nearby threaded cylinder 2 to rotate through the second gear 12 and the first gear 10. Then, through the first synchronous pulley 13 and the synchronous belt 14, it drives another threaded cylinder 2 to rotate in the same direction, driving the two screws 3 to descend, which in turn drives the first square tube 5 and the square plate 8 to descend. The four running heating plates 9 heat the parts of the working box 1 that are in contact with it. As a result, the alloy powder on the heated part of the inner wall of the working box 1 softens and its adhesion decreases. Then, the high-pressure gas sprayed onto the heated powder causes the powder to fall off the inner wall of the working box 1. The heating plates 9 and jet nozzles 6 continue to descend, thus cleaning all the powder adhering to the inner wall of the working box 1 from top to bottom. The fallen powder falls into the powder-water mixture below.
[0038] S4. During the descent of the square plate 8, the second rack 26 is driven to descend by the mounting rod 25. The descending second rack 26 drives the third gear 22 to rotate. The rotating third gear 22 drives the first rack 23 to move. The moving first rack drives the first baffle 20 to move through the first connecting plate 24, so that the first through hole 16 is opened. At the same time, when the second rack 26 passes the third gear 22, it continues to descend and does not drive the third gear 22 to rotate. Then, the water and alloy powder mixture in the working box 1 is discharged through the output pipe 17. When the square plate 8 reaches the bottom, the powder cleaning of the inner wall of the working box 1 is completed, and all the powder solution inside the working box 1 is discharged.
[0039] S5. The first motor 11 drives the second gear 12 to reverse. Through the above operation, the two threaded cylinders 2 rotate in the opposite direction, driving the two screws 3 to rise, which in turn drives the square plate 8 and the first square tube 5 to rise until they return to their original positions. At the same time, the rising square plate 8 drives the second rack 26 to rise through the mounting rod 25. When the rising second rack 26 contacts the third gear 22, it drives the third gear 22 to move in the opposite direction, driving the first rack 23 to move in the opposite direction, which in turn drives the first baffle 20 to move in the opposite direction and enter the first through hole 16, thus closing the first through hole 16, and the next powder making can then be carried out.

Then, the alloy powder on the heated part of the inner wall of the working box (1) softens and its adhesion decreases. Then, the high-pressure gas sprayed onto the heated powder causes the powder to fall off the inner wall of the working box (1). The heating plate (9) and jet head (6) continue to descend, thus cleaning all the powder adhering to the inner wall of the working box (1) from top to bottom. The fallen powder falls into the powder-water mixture below. S4. During the descent of the square plate (8), the second rack (26) is driven to descend by the mounting rod (25). The descending second rack (26) drives the third gear (22) to rotate. The rotating third gear (22) drives the first rack (23) to move. The moving first rack drives the first baffle (20) to move through the first connecting plate (24), so that the first through hole (16) is opened. At the same time, when the second rack (26) passes the third gear (22), it continues to descend and does not drive the third gear (22) to rotate. Then, the water and alloy powder mixture in the working box (1) is discharged through the output pipe (17). When the square plate (8) reaches the bottom, the powder cleaning of the inner wall of the working box (1) is completed, and the powder solution inside the working box (1) is completely discharged. S5. The first motor (11) drives the second gear (12) to reverse so that the two threaded cylinders (2) rotate in the opposite direction, driving the two screws (3) to rise, which in turn drives the square plate (8) and the first square tube (5) to rise until they return to their original positions. At the same time, the rising square plate (8) drives the second rack (26) to rise through the mounting rod (25). When the rising second rack (26) contacts the third gear (22), it drives the third gear (22) to move in the opposite direction, driving the first rack (23) to move in the opposite direction and driving the first baffle (20) to move in the opposite direction and enter the first through hole (16), so that the first through hole (16) is closed and the next powder making can be carried out.
