Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of waste battery processing technology, specifically relating to a waste battery live crushing system and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasingly widespread application of batteries, the demand for the disposal of used batteries is also growing. Particularly in the automotive industry, the lifespan of power batteries for new energy vehicles is approximately 5-8 years, and my country is poised to experience a surge in battery disposal. According to statistics from the China Automotive Technology Research Center, the amount of used power batteries that my country will need to recycle is expected to reach 1.1 million tons by 2025.

[0003] Because used batteries contain metals, separators, and electrolytes, improper or untreated use can severely impact the environment, harm human health, and waste non-renewable resources. Therefore, resource recovery from used batteries is essential. Recycling high-value metals such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and lead can generate significant economic benefits and promote energy conservation and emission reduction (CN 110203949 A, CN 116692910 A, CN 111430832 B).

[0004] Battery fragmentation methods are divided into post-discharge fragmentation and on-charge fragmentation. However, post-discharge fragmentation requires the use of a brine tank, which is time-consuming, requires a large area, and generates a lot of saline wastewater that needs to be treated. Furthermore, since the remaining charge of the recovered batteries varies, completely discharging all of them would render the work useless. Therefore, on-charge fragmentation is currently the mainstream method. However, on-charge fragmentation can cause fires due to short circuits in the battery cells during the fragmentation process. Although methods such as freezing the batteries with liquid nitrogen for subsequent fragmentation (CN 108525817A, CN 113856842A, CN 113856842B) exist, cryogenic freezing only slows down the rate of temperature rise after a short circuit and does not effectively stop the temperature rise. Moreover, current inert gas protection systems are prone to blind spots and cannot effectively prevent battery fires.

[0005] Therefore, overcoming the safety blind spots in the process of crushing waste batteries and quickly and effectively controlling the spread of fire during the crushing and subsequent transportation of charged batteries are crucial issues for battery recycling. Summary of the Invention

The feed inlet of the crusher is a straight pipe section, and the bottom of the straight pipe is the bottom of the crusher, where the gear crushing part is located.

[0012] The inert gas supply device, crusher, control motor, dry ice spraying device, and automatic valve are all connected to a controller and controlled by the controller.

[0013] The entire system is sealed, with each connection point sealed.

[0014] Preferably, at least six inert gas inlets are provided, located on the upper side of the buffer hopper, at the bottom of the buffer hopper, and at the four corners of the bottom of the crusher; dry ice spray devices are provided on the left and right sides of the straight pipe section of the crusher and above the gear crushing section inside the bottom of the crusher. The diameter of the straight pipe section is wider than the longest side or diagonal of the waste battery, so that the waste battery can fall smoothly.

[0015] Preferably, the inert gas supply device is provided with the same number of gas pipes as the inert gas inlets, each gas pipe is adapted to the inert gas inlet, and the connection is sealed.

[0016] Preferably, each of the inert gas inlets is a diffusion-type inlet, with diffusion ports provided inside the buffer silo and crusher, and round holes evenly arranged on the sidewall of the diffusion port.

[0018] Preferably, an oxygen concentration detection device, a water vapor concentration detection device, and a smoke concentration detection device are installed at the second ventilation pipe and the second intermediate gas outlet. The oxygen concentration detection device, water vapor concentration detection device, and smoke concentration detection device are connected to the controller and transmit the detected data to the controller.

[0019] Preferably, dry ice spray devices are installed on both sides of the straight-through pipe section of the crusher and at the top of the gear crushing section inside the bottom of the crusher; the feeding device includes a horizontal section and an inclined section, the inclined section having an angle of inclination between 15° and 18° with the ground, the horizontal section being connected to the crusher discharge port, and at least two dry ice spray devices evenly spaced at the top of the inclined section; the intermediate gas inlet is located at the junction of the horizontal section and the inclined section.

[0020] Preferably, the dry ice spraying device has a shower-type structure inside the feeding device, including a connecting pipe and a disc. The disc has several openings evenly arranged on it, and the connecting pipe is connected to an external dry ice supply device.

The oxygen concentration detection device, the water vapor concentration detection device, and the smoke concentration detection device are connected to the controller and transmit the detected data to the controller.

[0022] An application method for a live-charged battery crushing system includes the following steps:

[0023] (1) Place the charged waste batteries into the buffer silo, turn on the inert gas supply device, so that the buffer silo and the crusher are fully filled with inert gas. The inert gas is transmitted to the feeding device through the first vent pipe and the second vent pipe to ensure the inert gas atmosphere of the feeding device and realize the recycling of inert gas.

[0024] (2) Set the oxygen concentration threshold K and water vapor concentration threshold M for the oxygen concentration detection device and the water vapor concentration detection device. When the detected oxygen concentration value is less than K and the water vapor concentration value is less than M, the crushing operation can begin.

[0025] (3) The controller controls the opening of the automatic valve, and the charged waste batteries in the buffer hopper enter the crusher gear crushing part through the crusher straight pipe section for crushing;

[0026] (4) The crushed waste batteries are discharged from the crusher outlet and fall onto the conveyor belt of the feeding device, and are transported to the end outlet of the feeding device to the subsequent separation device.

[0027] (5) The controller sets the smoke concentration threshold N of the smoke concentration detection device. The smoke concentration detection device detects in real time and transmits the data to the controller.

[0028] The values ​​of K, M, and N are set according to the actual needs of on-site operation.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0030] The present invention discloses a waste battery live crushing system and its application method, which rapidly fills the buffer hopper and crusher with inert gas through multiple inert gas inlets, effectively preventing the existence of gas diffusion dead zones and oxygen retention, reducing the oxygen content in the operating chamber, and avoiding fire and explosion caused by battery short circuit during live crushing.

[0031] This invention includes an oxygen concentration detection device at the second intermediate gas outlet to monitor oxygen concentration. If the oxygen concentration exceeds the set limit, a dry ice spray device located in the crushing section of the crusher gears immediately sprays dry ice to mitigate the risk of fire and rapidly reduce the oxygen content in the crusher chamber to the set value. The smoke concentration detection device and the dry ice spray device located in the feeding device prevent the risk of fire and explosion during the feeding process, making the battery recycling process safer.

[0032] The water vapor concentration detection device is linked with the dry ice spraying device. When the water vapor concentration is too high, the dry ice spraying device will spray dry ice, which effectively prevents battery components such as lithium hexafluorophosphate from decomposing due to moisture, improves the recovery rate of battery components and the value of recovered products, and avoids highly corrosive gaseous pollutants such as hydrofluoric acid generated after battery components decompose due to moisture, reducing the requirements for subsequent exhaust gas treatment equipment and making the battery recycling process more environmentally friendly.
