Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of carbon-zinc battery recycling technology, specifically to a carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon-zinc batteries, also known as neutral zinc-manganese dioxide dry cell batteries, are primary cells in the chemical power source category and are disposable batteries. Because their electrolyte is a non-flowing paste, they are called dry cells, in contrast to batteries with flowing electrolytes. Carbon-zinc batteries are suitable not only for flashlights, transistor radios, tape recorders, cameras, electronic clocks, and toys, but also for various sectors of the national economy, including defense, scientific research, telecommunications, navigation, aviation, and medicine. Most low-energy batteries used today are carbon-zinc batteries. However, carbon-zinc batteries have a relatively short lifespan. When a carbon-zinc battery loses its power, it is recycled. The recyclable parts of a carbon-zinc battery generally include the zinc casing and the internal carbon rod. Therefore, during recycling, the casing and carbon rod must be separated to ensure the purity of the recovered carbon.
[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN109103476A) discloses a carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device, including a separation box. A feeding pipe is provided on the upper surface of the separation box, with its bottom extending into the inner cavity of the separation box. An auxiliary plate is provided at one end of the upper surface of the separation box, and the top of one side of the auxiliary plate is fixedly connected to one side of a hydraulic cylinder. A hydraulic telescopic rod is provided at the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder. An isolation plate is provided in the inner cavity of the separation box, and a separation device is inserted at the center of the upper surface of the separation plate, located directly below the feeding pipe. This carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device works by placing a carbon-zinc battery into the feeding pipe and pressing the battery down into the separation box using the hydraulic telescopic rod. Because the separation device has a circular blade with a diameter smaller than the bottom diameter of the carbon-zinc battery, only a portion of the battery with a diameter equal to that of the circular blade can flow out of the separation device. This allows some carbon-zinc batteries to separate their outer shell and carbon elements during recycling, resulting in pure recycled carbon elements and reducing inconvenience for consumers. The aforementioned existing technology mainly relies on a telescopic rod in conjunction with a circular blade to cut out the carbon rod inside the battery. It can only be used on a single battery at a time, which is not only inefficient, but also requires the operator to disassemble and install batteries one by one along the equipment, making it unsuitable for large-scale industries.
[0004] In view of this, we propose a carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device and its usage method. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device and its usage method, to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which state that existing technologies can only be used for individual batteries, resulting in low efficiency and requiring operators to disassemble and reassemble batteries one by one along the equipment, making them unsuitable for large-scale industrial applications. To achieve the above objective, this invention provides the following technical solution: a carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device and its usage method, comprising a separation cylinder, wherein the separation cylinder is a hollow cylindrical structure with openings at both the top and bottom, and a support frame is provided on the outer surface of the separation cylinder, wherein the support frame is an H-shaped structure, and the two side legs of the support frame are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the separation cylinder.
[0006] The separator is equipped with a peeler for removing the carbon rods and zinc casings from carbon-zinc batteries, and a servo motor for driving the peeler is fixedly mounted on the support frame.
[0007] Preferably, the peeler includes an upper hopper disposed inside the separating cylinder, and the middle part of the upper hopper is recessed downward to form a conical structure.
[0008] The upper bucket has several ribs fixedly installed on its conical surface, and the ribs are arranged in a ring-shaped equidistant array with the center of the upper bucket as the base point. The area between two adjacent ribs and the top wall of the upper bucket is set as a battery slot, and the width of the battery slot gradually shrinks from the outside to the inside along the radial direction of the upper bucket.
[0009] The upper side of the bucket is provided with a rotating disk, which is connected to the rotating shaft of the servo motor. The bottom surface of the rotating disk is a conical surface adapted to the ribs and battery slot.
[0010] The battery compartment is equipped with a blade for cutting the zinc foil of the battery, and the cutting edge of the blade is inclined relative to the direction of the rotating disk. The center of the upper bucket is provided with a drain hole that is opposite to the battery compartment to discharge the carbon rod.
[0011] The upper bucket and the separating cylinder are equipped with spring-loaded collectors that cooperate with the blades.
[0012] Preferably, the spring collector includes a lower bucket fixedly installed inside the separator cylinder, and the lower bucket is located below the upper bucket. A spring is provided between the lower bucket and the upper bucket, and the spring pushes the upper bucket to move upward along the separator cylinder.
[0013] The bottom surface of the rotating disk is provided with several sets of intermittently pressing rubber wheels for pushing the ribs and batteries, and the several sets of rubber wheels are arranged in a circular array along the rotating disk. The rubber wheels are connected to the rotating disk through a double connector.
[0014] The blade is fixedly connected to the surface of the lower bucket, and a groove corresponding to the blade is opened in the battery slot. The upper bucket moves down, causing the blade to pop out along the groove.
[0015] The lower bucket has a through groove on its surface and adjacent to the blade, and the side surface of the blade has a groove. The zinc sheet cut by the blade enters the through groove along the groove and is discharged.
[0016] Preferably, the double connector includes fan grooves corresponding to the rubber wheels, and the fan grooves are opened on the bottom surface of the rotating disk. Horizontal grooves are opened on the inner sidewalls of both sides of the fan grooves. The rubber wheels are designed as semi-circular structures, and an eccentric shaft is fixedly installed on one side of the rubber wheel. The rubber wheel is rotatably connected to the horizontal groove through the eccentric shaft, and the rubber wheel can be translated along the horizontal groove.
[0017] A spring is fixedly installed on the rubber wheel, and the upper end of the spring is connected to the inner wall of the fan groove. The spring pushes the rubber wheel outward along the fan groove.
[0018] A slot is provided on the side wall of the fan groove on the side opposite to the eccentric shaft, and a locking pin corresponding to the slot is fixedly provided on the side surface of the rubber wheel on the side opposite to the eccentric shaft.
[0019] Preferably, a partition tube that cooperates with the leak and the through groove is fixedly inserted through the center of the lower bucket.
[0020] Preferably, the surface of the rubber wheel is provided with anti-slip texture.
[0021] Preferably, the inner wall of the separating cylinder is provided with several vertical grooves, and the outer ring of the upper bucket is fixedly provided with several limiting blocks, and the upper bucket is slidably connected in the vertical direction along the vertical grooves through the limiting blocks.
[0022] A carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device and its method of use include the following steps:
[0023] S1. Place the battery into the separator cylinder. The battery falls into the upper hopper and enters each battery slot. The battery slides down the gradually narrowing battery slots according to its thickness until it is locked in place.
[0024] S2. Start the servo motor to drive the rotary table to rotate counterclockwise. The rubber wheel at the bottom of the rotary table rotates in a circular motion, pushing the battery in the battery slot to roll. This causes the zinc coating on the surface of the battery to be rolled off along the inclined blade until the carbon rod inside the battery is cut out. The carbon rod, separated from the zinc coating, slides down the battery slot towards the center and into the drain outlet for discharge. After the above rolling and cutting process, the battery can be directly poured into the upper container.
[0025] S3. When the rotary table is not rotating and pushing the battery, the rubber wheel will not press down on the upper bucket. At this time, the upper bucket is pushed up by the spring, causing the blade to retract into the groove. As the rubber wheel pushes the battery through the circular motion, it simultaneously applies downward pressure to the upper bucket, pressing the blade out of the groove for cutting the zinc shell on the outside of the battery. Since the side surface of the blade has grooves, the zinc shell cut by the blade can enter the through groove and the groove for discharge.
[0026] S4. Before the rotary disc rotates counterclockwise, it is first driven to rotate clockwise. When the rubber wheel at the bottom of the rotary disc contacts the battery, after exceeding a certain squeezing force, it will push against the rubber wheel, causing the rubber wheel to compress the spring and retract into the fan groove. In this way, the rubber wheel applies a certain amount of push to the battery, helping to adjust the position of the tilted battery in the battery slot. When the rotary disc rotates clockwise, the friction between the rubber wheel and the battery pushes the rubber wheel and the eccentric shaft to move along the transverse groove, so that the locking pin is inserted into the locking groove for locking. At this time, the rubber wheel and the rotary disc are rigidly connected, and the rubber wheel cannot retract into the fan groove, so that the rubber wheel can press down the upper bucket and eject the blade for cutting.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0028] In this invention, the zinc coating on the surface of the battery is cut off by an inclined blade. Compared with the traditional method of using a downward-moving workpiece to push out the carbon rod inside the battery, the rotating disc can simultaneously separate the carbon rod and zinc coating of a large number of batteries, increasing the single batch processing capacity of the equipment. Moreover, the separation process can be carried out simply by putting the battery into the separation cylinder. The separated zinc coating and carbon rod are automatically discharged without the need for operator loading and unloading, making it convenient to use. At the same time, the operator can continuously put batteries in during the separation process, thereby realizing assembly line operation and avoiding equipment downtime that affects processing efficiency.
[0029] In this invention, the blades are self-extending and retracting according to the operation of the equipment by using a rubber wheel and spring in conjunction with the upper bucket. This effectively prevents the batteries placed in the upper bucket from falling and damaging the blades, ensuring the service life of the cutting components. Furthermore, since the side surface of the blades has grooves, the zinc sheets cut by the blades can enter the through grooves and slots for discharge along the grooves and slots. This achieves self-sorting of the zinc sheets and carbon rods and prevents the zinc sheets from affecting the sliding of the carbon rods along the battery slots.
[0030] In this invention, when the rotary disc rotates clockwise, the rubber wheel at the bottom of the disc contacts the battery. After a certain amount of pressure is applied, the rubber wheel is pushed back, causing it to compress the spring and retract into the fan groove. This allows the rubber wheel to apply a certain amount of actuation to the battery, helping to adjust the position of the tilted battery in the battery slot and ensuring the stability of the cutting blade. When the rotary disc rotates clockwise, the friction between the rubber wheel and the battery pushes the rubber wheel and the eccentric shaft to move along the transverse groove, causing the locking pin to engage with the slot for locking. At this time, the rubber wheel and the rotary disc are rigidly connected, and the rubber wheel cannot retract into the fan groove. This allows the rubber wheel to press down the upper bucket and eject the cutting blade for cutting. In this way, the connection between the rubber wheel and the rotary disc is switched by rotating the rotary disc in both directions, and the battery combing and cutting are achieved accordingly.

[0044] 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.
[0045] Please see Figures 1 to 12 The present invention provides a technical solution: a carbon battery separation and recycling device and its usage method, including a separation cylinder 1, the separation cylinder 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure with openings at both the top and bottom ends, and a support frame 2 is provided on the outer surface of the separation cylinder 1, the support frame 2 is an H-shaped structure, and the two side legs of the support frame 2 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the outer surface of the separation cylinder 1.
[0046] The separator 1 is equipped with a peeler 3 that separates the carbon rod and zinc casing of the carbon battery. The support frame 2 is fixedly installed with a servo motor 4 that drives the peeler 3. When in use, the battery is put into the separator 1. After the battery enters the peeler 3, the servo motor 4 is started to drive the peeler 3 to separate the zinc casing and carbon rod of the battery.
[0047] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the peeler 3 includes an upper bucket 31 disposed inside the separating cylinder 1, and the middle part of the upper bucket 31 is recessed downward to form a conical structure;
[0048] Several ribs 32 are fixedly installed on the conical surface of the upper bucket 31, and the ribs 32 are arranged in a ring with the center of the upper bucket 31 as the base point. The area between two adjacent ribs 32 and the top wall of the upper bucket 31 is set as a battery slot 33. The width of the battery slot 33 gradually narrows from the outside to the inside along the radial direction of the upper bucket 31. After the battery is put into the separation cylinder 1, it falls into the upper bucket 31 and enters each battery slot 33. The battery slides down the battery slot 33 with the gradually narrowing width until it is locked.
[0049] A rotating disk 34 is provided on the upper side of the upper bucket 31, and the rotating disk 34 is connected to the rotating shaft of the servo motor 4. The bottom surface of the rotating disk 34 is a conical surface adapted to the rib 32 and the battery slot 33.
[0050] The battery compartment 33 is equipped with a cutting blade 35 for cutting the zinc foil of the battery. The cutting edge of the blade 35 is inclined relative to the direction of the rotating disk 34. The center of the upper bucket 31 is provided with a drain 36 that is used to discharge the carbon rod in the battery compartment 33. The servo motor 4 drives the rotating disk 34 to rotate counterclockwise. The rubber wheel 373 at the bottom of the rotating disk 34 rotates in a circular motion and pushes the battery in the battery compartment 33 to roll. The zinc foil on the surface of the battery is cut off by the inclined blade 35 until the carbon rod inside the battery is cut out. The carbon rod separated from the zinc foil slides into the drain 36 along the center of the battery compartment 33 and is discharged.
[0051] The upper bucket 31 and the separating cylinder 1 are equipped with spring collectors 37 that cooperate with the blades 35.
[0052] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the spring collector 37 includes a lower bucket 371 fixedly installed inside the separator 1, and the lower bucket 371 is located below the upper bucket 31. A spring 372 is provided between the lower bucket 371 and the upper bucket 31, and the spring 372 pushes the upper bucket 31 to move upward along the separator 1.
[0053] The bottom surface of the rotary disk 34 is provided with several sets of intermittently pressing ribs 32 and battery rubber wheels 373, and the several sets of rubber wheels 373 are arranged in a ring array along the rotary disk 34. The rubber wheels 373 and the rotary disk 34 are connected by a double connector 374.
[0054] The blade 35 is fixedly connected to the surface of the lower bucket 371. The battery slot 33 has a groove 375 corresponding to the blade 35. When the upper bucket 31 moves down, the blade 35 pops out along the groove 375. When the rotary disc 34 is not rotating to push the battery, the rubber wheel 373 will not press down on the upper bucket 31. At this time, the upper bucket 31 is pushed up by the spring 372, so that the blade 35 retracts into the groove 375. During the process of the rubber wheel 373 pushing the battery through the circular motion, the rubber wheel 373 simultaneously applies downward pressure to the upper bucket 31, pressing the blade 35 out from the groove 375 for cutting the outer zinc shell of the battery.
[0055] A through groove 376 is provided on the surface of the lower bucket 371 and adjacent to the blade 35. A groove 377 is provided on the side surface of the blade 35. The cut zinc sheet of the blade 35 is discharged through the through groove 376 along the groove 377 and the slot 375.
[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the double connector 374 includes a fan groove 3741 corresponding to the rubber wheel 373, and the fan groove 3741 is opened on the bottom surface of the rotary disk 34. A transverse groove 3742 is opened on the inner sidewall of both sides of the fan groove 3741. The rubber wheel 373 is designed as a semi-circular structure, and an eccentric shaft 3743 is fixedly installed on one side of the rubber wheel 373. The rubber wheel 373 is rotatably connected to the transverse groove 3742 through the eccentric shaft 3743, and the rubber wheel 373 can be translated along the transverse groove 3742.
[0057] A spring 3744 is fixedly installed on the rubber wheel 373, and the upper end of the spring 3744 is connected to the inner wall of the fan groove 3741. The spring 3744 pushes the rubber wheel 373 outward along the fan groove 3741. The rotating disk 34 rotates clockwise. The rubber wheel 373 at the bottom of the rotating disk 34 contacts the battery. After exceeding a certain squeezing force, it will push the rubber wheel 373 back, causing the rubber wheel 373 to compress the spring 3744 and retract into the fan groove 3741.
[0058] A slot 3745 is provided on the side wall of the fan groove 3741 relative to the eccentric shaft 3743. A locking pin 3746 corresponding to the slot 3745 is fixedly provided on the side surface of the rubber wheel 373 relative to the eccentric shaft 3743. When the rotary table 34 rotates clockwise, the friction between the rubber wheel 373 and the battery pushes the rubber wheel 373 and the eccentric shaft 3743 to translate along the transverse groove 3742, so that the locking pin 3746 is inserted into the slot 3745 for locking.
[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, a separator tube is fixedly inserted through the center of the lower bucket 371, which cooperates with the outlet 36 and the through groove 376. The separator tube is used for the discharge of carbon rods and separates the zinc sheet discharged from the through groove 376 from the carbon rods, thereby realizing automatic classification.
[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the surface of the rubber wheel 373 is provided with anti-slip texture, which increases the friction when the rubber wheel 373 contacts the battery in the battery slot 33. This makes it easier to straighten the battery and can stably push the battery to roll.
[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, several vertical grooves are provided on the inner side wall of the separating cylinder 1, and several limiting blocks are fixedly provided on the outer ring of the upper bucket 31. The upper bucket 31 is slidably connected in the vertical direction through the limiting blocks along the vertical grooves. In this way, the upper bucket 31 is constrained in its vertical movement trajectory by the limiting blocks to ensure the stability of the sliding and to prevent the upper bucket 31 from rotating and applying force to the blade along the groove 375, which would cause damage.
[0062] A carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device and its method of use include the following steps:
[0063] S1. Put the battery into the separator 1. The battery falls into the upper bucket 31 and enters each battery slot 33. The battery slides down the battery slot 33 according to its thickness until it is locked.
[0064] S2. Start the servo motor 4 to drive the rotary table 34 to rotate counterclockwise. The rubber wheel 373 at the bottom of the rotary table 34 rotates in a circular motion, pushing the battery in the battery slot 33 to roll. This causes the zinc sheet on the surface of the battery to be rolled off along the inclined blade 35 until the carbon rod inside the battery is cut out. The carbon rod separated from the zinc sheet slides along the battery slot 33 towards the center and is discharged into the drain 36. After the above rolling and cutting process, the battery can be directly poured into the upper bucket 31.
[0065] S3. When the rotary disc 34 is not rotating to push the battery, the rubber wheel 373 will not press down on the upper bucket 31. At this time, the upper bucket 31 is pushed up by the spring 372, causing the blade 35 to retract into the groove 375. During the process of the rubber wheel 373 pushing the battery through the circular motion, the rubber wheel 373 simultaneously applies downward pressure to the upper bucket 31, pressing the blade 35 out from the groove 375 for cutting the zinc sheet on the outside of the battery. Since the side surface of the blade 35 has a groove 377, the zinc sheet cut by the blade 35 can enter the through groove 376 along the groove 377 and the groove 375 and be discharged.
[0066] S4. Before the rotary disc 34 rotates counterclockwise, it is first driven to rotate clockwise. When the rubber wheel 373 at the bottom of the rotary disc 34 contacts the battery, after exceeding a certain squeezing force, it will push the rubber wheel 373 back, causing the rubber wheel 373 to compress the spring 3744 and retract into the fan groove 3741. In this way, the rubber wheel 373 applies a certain push to the battery, assisting in adjusting the position of the tilted battery in the battery slot 33. When the rotary disc 34 rotates clockwise, the friction between the rubber wheel 373 and the battery pushes the rubber wheel 373 and the eccentric shaft 3743 to move along the transverse groove 3742, so that the locking pin 3746 is inserted into the locking groove 3745 for locking. At this time, the rubber wheel 373 and the rotary disc 34 are rigidly connected, and the rubber wheel 373 cannot retract into the fan groove 3741, so that the rubber wheel 373 can press down the upper bucket 31 and eject the blade 35 for cutting.
[0067] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

The spring (3744) pushes the rubber wheel (373) outward along the fan groove (3741). The fan groove (3741) has a slot (3745) on the side wall opposite to the eccentric shaft (3743), and the rubber wheel (373) has a locking pin (3746) corresponding to the slot (3745) fixedly provided on the side surface opposite to the eccentric shaft (3743).
3. The carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device according to claim 1, characterized in that: A partition tube that cooperates with the leak (36) and the through groove (376) is fixedly inserted through the center of the lower bucket (371).
4. The carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The surface of the rubber wheel (373) is provided with anti-slip texture.
5. A carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The inner wall of the separation cylinder (1) has several vertical grooves, and the outer ring of the upper bucket (31) is fixedly provided with several limiting blocks, and the upper bucket (31) is slidably connected in the vertical direction along the vertical grooves through the limiting blocks.
6. A method of using a carbon-zinc battery separation and recycling device, comprising the following steps: S1. Put the battery into the separator (1), the battery falls into the upper bucket (31) and enters each battery slot (33) respectively. The battery slides down the gradually narrowing battery slot (33) according to its thickness until it is locked. S2. Start the servo motor (4) to drive the rotary table (34) to rotate counterclockwise. The rubber wheel (373) at the bottom of the rotary table (34) rotates in a circle and pushes the battery in the battery slot (33) to roll. The zinc sheet on the surface of the battery is rolled off along the inclined blade (35) until the carbon rod inside the battery is cut out. The carbon rod separated from the zinc sheet slides along the battery slot (33) towards the center and is discharged into the drain (36). After the above rolling and cutting process, the battery can be poured directly into the upper bucket (31). S3. When the rotary disc (34) is not rotating to push the battery, the rubber wheel (373) will not press down on the upper bucket (31). At this time, the upper bucket (31) is pushed up by the spring (372), causing the blade (35) to retract into the groove (375). During the process of the rubber wheel (373) pushing the battery through the circular motion, the rubber wheel (373) simultaneously applies downward pressure to the upper bucket (31), pressing the blade (35) out from the groove (375) for cutting the zinc sheet on the outside of the battery. Since the side surface of the blade (35) has a groove (377), the zinc sheet cut by the blade (35) can enter the through groove (376) along the groove (377) and the groove (375) and be discharged. S4. Before the rotary disc (34) rotates counterclockwise, it is first driven to rotate clockwise. When the rubber wheel (373) at the bottom of the rotary disc (34) contacts the battery, after exceeding a certain squeezing force, it will push against the rubber wheel (373), causing the rubber wheel (373) to compress the spring (3744) and retract into the fan groove (3741). In this way, the rubber wheel (373) applies a certain push to the battery, assisting in adjusting the position of the tilted battery in the battery slot (33). 4) When rotating clockwise, the friction between the rubber wheel (373) and the battery pushes the rubber wheel (373) and the eccentric shaft (3743) to move along the transverse groove (3742), so that the locking pin (3746) is inserted into the locking groove (3745) for locking. At this time, the rubber wheel (373) and the rotating disk (34) are rigidly connected, and the rubber wheel (373) cannot retract into the fan groove (3741), so that the rubber wheel (373) can press down the upper bucket (31) and pop out the blade (35) for rolling and cutting.
