Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of waste battery recycling, and specifically relates to a waste battery live crushing and solid-liquid separation system and an application method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high operating voltage, high specific energy, small size and light weight, no memory effect, and a wide operating temperature range. They are widely used in production and life as portable power sources. At the same time, with the country's vigorous promotion of electric vehicles, a large number of batteries will face the problem of being scrapped in the future. The recycling rate of waste batteries in my country is relatively low, and a large number of discarded batteries have caused waste of resources and energy and environmental pollution.

[0003] Lithium-ion batteries are mainly composed of shells, positive electrode materials, negative electrode materials, current collectors, diaphragms and electrolytes, many of which are valuable components worth recycling. If they are not crushed and disassembled, the valuable materials and components in the waste batteries cannot be recovered. Generally, the batteries need to be disassembled and sorted in the pre-processing stage. Discharging first and then disassembling by manpower or machine increases the workload of recycling.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a new process to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0009] A liquid outlet pipe is provided at the bottom end of the first collecting barrel, and the liquid outlet pipe is connected to a filtering device;

[0010] As a further preference, an outlet is provided at the bottom of the second collecting barrel, and an automatic sealing plate is installed at the outlet, so that the broken pieces of waste batteries can be discharged for further processing.

[0011] The controller is connected to the crushing device, the solid-liquid separation device and the filtering device, and controls the start and shut down of the crushing device, the solid-liquid separation device and the filtering device. The crushing device and the solid-liquid separation device are connectable and detachable.

[0012] Preferably, the collecting box and the discharge pipe are funnel-shaped structures, and automatic sealing plates are hinged between the bottom end of the feed port and the crushing device shell, between the bottom end of the crushing device shell, between the bottom end of the discharge pipe and the buffer box inlet, and between the bottom end of the buffer box and the solid-liquid separation device inlet. Each automatic sealing plate is connected to the controller and controlled by the controller.

[0013] Preferably, the crushing device shell is a square structure, a dry ice spray head is arranged at the top of the interior, inert gas inlets are arranged at the four corners of the interior bottom, and a first gas outlet is arranged on the upper side of the shell side wall; the solid-liquid separation device shell is a square structure, a dry ice spray head is arranged at the top of the interior, inert gas inlets are arranged at the four corners of the interior bottom, and a second gas outlet is arranged on the upper side of the shell side wall. The dry ice spray head is a shower-type structure, and the dry ice spray head is connected to the dry ice spray device through a connecting pipe to provide dry ice.

[0014] Preferably, oxygen concentration detectors are provided at both the first air outlet and the second air outlet.

[0015] Preferably, smoke concentration detectors are provided at both the first air outlet and the second air outlet.

[0016] Preferably, each inert gas inlet is connected to an inert gas supply device via an inlet pipe, and inert gas is introduced as a protective gas.

[0017] Preferably, baffles are arranged at the right end and front and rear sides of the filter plate, and filter holes are arranged on the bottom end surface of the filter plate; baffles are arranged at the front and rear sides of the inclined plate; baffles are arranged at the left end and front and rear sides of the collecting cover; the height of the baffles is set according to actual needs.

[0018] The right end of the collecting cover is connected to the first collecting barrel at an angle downward, and the liquid outlet pipe is arranged at the center of the bottom end surface of the first collecting barrel, and its bottom end surface is inclined downward toward the center, so that the liquid can enter the filter as soon as possible without any residue.

The movable bearing is installed at the left outer end of the filter plate, and the movable bearing is connected to the fixed bearing on the left side through a support rod, driving the left side of the filter plate to move up and down. When there are fewer battery fragments, the left side of the filter plate can swing up and down slightly driven by the vibration device; as the battery fragments continue to fall, the filter plate will slowly tilt to the left under the action of gravity, so that the battery fragments fall into the second collection bucket through the inclined plate. The highest position of the left side of the filter plate driven by the movable bearing is level with the right side of the filter plate, and the lowest position is level with the left fixed bearing below. The fixed bearing on the left side is set to a position lower than the fixed bearing on the right side as needed.

[0022] The vibrating device can be a variety of vibration modes, such as a gas vibrator, an electromagnetic vibrator, and a hydraulic vibrator.

[0023] An application method of a waste battery live crushing and solid-liquid separation system comprises the following steps:

[0024] (1) Place the charged waste batteries into the collection box, turn on the inert gas supply device, fill the crushing device housing with inert gas as protective gas, set the oxygen concentration threshold K and smoke concentration threshold M detected by the oxygen concentration detector and the smoke concentration detector, and start the crushing work when the detected oxygen concentration value is less than K and the smoke concentration value is less than M, and control the feed amount through the automatic sealing plate;

[0025] (2) The controller starts the automatic sealing plate, and the charged used batteries in the collection box fall into the shearing shredder through the feed port for shredding. The smoke detector detects in real time and transmits the data to the controller. When the smoke concentration is greater than M, the controller starts the dry ice spray head to continuously extinguish the fire in the shearing shredder. The oxygen concentration detector detects in real time and transmits the data to the controller. If the oxygen concentration is greater than K, the controller starts the dry ice spray head.

[0026] (3) The broken waste batteries are discharged from the discharge pipe and fall into the buffer box, and then fall onto the filter plate through the outlet of the buffer box. At this time, the vibration device generates high-frequency vibration to separate the battery fragments from the electrolyte. At the same time, the vibration device causes the broken waste batteries to move to the left side of the filter plate. The electrolyte falls into the first collection bucket through the collection cover. The battery fragments tilt the filter plate to the left under the action of gravity and the movable bearing and the fixed bearing, and fall into the second collection bucket through the tilting plate. The second collection bucket is provided with an outlet connected to the pyrolysis furnace so as to further process the broken waste batteries. When the filter plate falls onto the broken waste batteries from the buffer box again, the right side of the filter plate is heavy, and the left side rises slowly, and the vibration filtration continues;

[0027] (4) After the electrolyte enters the first collection bucket, it enters the filtering device through the liquid outlet pipe, and falls into the liquid collection box after further separation. A discharge port is set at the bottom side of the liquid collection box to discharge the filtrate.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] The waste battery live crushing and solid-liquid separation system of the present invention can tear, crush, separate solids and liquids, and filter waste battery fragments and electrolytes with high concentration. The surrounding inert gas in the shell serves as a protective gas, which effectively prevents the existence of gas diffusion dead corners. The oxygen concentration detector and the smoke concentration detector provide real-time feedback. When the detection value is too large, a dry ice spray head is used to reduce the oxygen concentration and extinguish the fire, thereby avoiding fire and explosion caused by battery short circuit during the live crushing process.

[0030] The system of the present invention provides a buffer box in which broken batteries can be temporarily stored, especially when there are too many broken batteries on the filter plate, reducing the broken batteries falling on the filter plate to avoid incomplete solid-liquid separation on the filter plate, thereby achieving better filtering effect.

[0031] The system of the present invention is provided with a vibration device on the filter plate, so that the electrolyte and the broken pieces can be separated as much as possible;

[0032] The invention discloses an application method of a waste battery live crushing and solid-liquid separation system, which enables the electrolyte to be efficiently recovered, thus not only utilizing resources but also avoiding harm to the environment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

10. The application method of the system for live crushing and solid-liquid separation of used batteries according to any one of claims 1 to 9, characterized in that: The steps include: (1) Place the charged waste batteries into the collection box, turn on the inert gas supply device, fill the crushing device housing with inert gas as protective gas, set the oxygen concentration threshold K and smoke concentration threshold M detected by the oxygen concentration detector and the smoke concentration detector, and start the crushing work when the detected oxygen concentration value is less than K and the smoke concentration value is less than M, and control the feed amount through the automatic sealing plate; (2) The controller starts the automatic sealing plate, and the charged used batteries in the collection box fall into the shear shredder through the feed port for shredding. The smoke detector detects in real time and transmits the data to the controller. When the smoke concentration is greater than M, the controller starts the dry ice spray head to continuously extinguish the fire in the shear shredder. The oxygen concentration detector detects in real time and transmits data to the controller. If the oxygen concentration is greater than K, the controller starts the dry ice spray head; (3) The broken waste batteries are discharged from the discharge pipe and fall into the buffer box, and then fall onto the filter plate through the outlet of the buffer box. At this time, the vibration device generates high-frequency vibration to separate the battery fragments from the electrolyte. The electrolyte falls into the first collection bucket through the collection cover, and the battery fragments tilt the filter plate to the left under the action of gravity and the movable bearing, and fall into the second collection bucket through the tilting plate; (4) After the electrolyte enters the first collection barrel, it enters the filtering device through the liquid outlet pipe and falls into the liquid collection box after further separation.
