Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of recycling equipment technology, and more particularly to a battery casing recycling and sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Lead-acid batteries are rechargeable batteries whose electrodes are mainly made of lead and its oxides, and whose electrolyte is sulfuric acid solution. In the discharged state, the positive electrode is mainly composed of lead dioxide, and the negative electrode is mainly composed of lead. In the charged state, the positive and negative electrodes are mainly composed of lead sulfate. Since the core of a lead-acid battery contains a large amount of recyclable metal materials, after a lead-acid battery is scrapped, the battery casing needs to be opened and the core removed to separate the battery casing from the core, and then both can be recycled separately.

[0003] Lead-acid battery casings come in a wide variety of types, which can be mainly classified by material. Common lead-acid battery casings can be divided into plastic and metal materials. When recycling and crushing lead-acid battery casings, existing recycling equipment usually only crushes and recycles battery casings of the same material to avoid mixing of materials, which limits its use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art:

[0005] Existing recycling equipment, when recycling and crushing lead-acid battery casings, typically only allows one machine to crush and recycle battery casings of the same material to avoid mixing of materials, which limits its use.

[0006] A battery casing recycling and sorting device was proposed.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A battery casing recycling and sorting device includes a crusher. A middle partition is fixed on the inner wall of the crusher. Two pairs of crushing rollers are rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the crusher and on both sides of the middle partition. A drive box for driving the two pairs of crushing rollers is provided on the crusher. Two bottom guide covers are symmetrically connected at the bottom of the crusher. A discharge belt conveyor is provided below each bottom guide cover. A screening sensing component is provided on the upper end face of the crusher. A guiding component is provided inside the crusher. A feeding port for use with the guiding component is opened on the upper end face of the crusher.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the screening sensing component includes a screening belt conveyor fixed to the upper end face of the crusher. The upper end face of the screening belt conveyor is symmetrically fixed with two side plates. One side of the upper end face of the two side plates is fixed with the same mounting top plate. A magnet plate is movably and vertically arranged directly below the mounting top plate. A guide unit is arranged between the mounting top plate and the magnet plate. A sensing unit for use with the guide component is arranged on the mounting top plate. An infrared photoelectric switch is fixedly and continuously arranged between the two side plates.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the guide unit includes two guide rods fixed to the upper surface of the magnet plate. The upper end of each guide rod movably passes through the mounting top plate. Two springs are symmetrically fixed between the top of the mounting top plate and the magnet plate. Each spring is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the sensing unit includes a T-shaped plate fixed to the upper surface of the mounting top plate. Both ends of the upper surface of the T-shaped plate are provided with mounting through holes. A proximity switch for use with a guide rod is fixed in each mounting through hole. A control main board is provided on the crusher.

[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the guiding assembly includes an intermediate guide cover rotatably disposed on the inner wall of the crusher, an upper guide cover connected to the upper end of the intermediate guide cover, a connecting shaft one and a connecting shaft two fixed on both sides of the intermediate guide cover respectively, the connecting shaft one and the connecting shaft two rotatably passing through the side wall of the crusher, a drive unit one used in conjunction with the connecting shaft one is disposed on the outer wall of the crusher, and a limiting unit used in conjunction with the connecting shaft two is disposed on the outer wall of the crusher.

[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention, two pairs of guide blocks are symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the crusher.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the drive unit includes a large gear ring fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft, a mounting bracket fixed on the outer side wall of the crusher, a servo motor fixed on the upper end face of the mounting bracket, and a small gear ring fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the servo motor drive shaft, the small gear ring meshing with the large gear ring.

[0015] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the limiting unit includes a connecting plate fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft II. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the outer surface of the connecting plate. Two moving plates are symmetrically and obliquely arranged on the side wall of the crusher. An arc-shaped locking block is provided above each moving plate. Multiple rotating rollers are rotatably arranged on the upper surface of the arc-shaped locking block. An elastic element is provided between the arc-shaped locking block and the moving plate. Two driving units II are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the crusher to cooperate with the corresponding moving plates. A side groove is provided on the side wall of each arc-shaped locking block. A proximity switch II is fixed in each side groove.

[0016] As a further technical solution of the present invention, each of the elastic elements includes a telescopic rod and a second spring fixed between the arc-shaped block and the moving plate, with the second spring movably sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod.

[0017] As a further technical solution of the present invention, each of the driving units includes a fixed seat fixed on the side wall of the crusher, a cylinder fixed between the fixed seat and the moving plate, and two guide columns symmetrically and movably passing through the side of each fixed seat near the corresponding moving plate. The upper end of each guide column movably passes through the moving plate and is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the arc-shaped block.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0019] 1. During operation, the external belt conveyor transports the battery casings to be recycled and crushed towards the screening sensor assembly at the top of the crusher. The external belt conveyor rotates intermittently, ensuring that only one battery casing falls into the screening sensor assembly at a time. The screening sensor assembly then determines whether the battery casing is made of plastic or metal. The guide assembly adjusts its angle accordingly. If the battery casing is made of plastic, the guide assembly rotates clockwise; if the battery casing is made of metal, the guide assembly rotates counterclockwise. This guides battery casings of different materials to their respective crushing rollers for processing. After being crushed by the corresponding crushing rollers, the battery casings are broken into fragments that fall through the corresponding bottom guide cover onto the corresponding discharge belt conveyor. The discharge belt conveyor then transports the fallen battery casing fragments away. During the battery casing crushing and recycling process, this equipment can simultaneously crush and recycle battery casings of different materials without causing material mixing.

[0020] 2. During use, when the broken battery casings to be recycled are conveyed to the screening belt conveyor, the conveyor rotates, thereby moving the battery casings toward the feeding port. During this process, the battery casings will pass under the magnetic plate. The infrared photoelectric switch detects the passage of an object. When the battery casing is made of plastic, the magnetic plate does not react when the battery casing passes under it and does not move, thus the sensing unit does not react. At this time, the guiding component rotates clockwise to guide the battery casing. When the battery casing is made of metal, the magnetic plate will move downward a certain distance under the action of magnetic force when the battery casing passes under it, thus the sensing unit detects the abnormality and causes the guiding component to rotate counterclockwise to guide the battery casing.

[0021] 3. In the initial state, the rotating roller on the arc-shaped locking block is in contact with the surface of the connecting plate. When the intermediate guide cover and the upper guide cover rotate, they will also drive the connecting shaft two and the connecting plate to rotate together. During the rotation of the connecting plate, the arc-shaped groove will rotate together. When the arc-shaped groove is aligned with the corresponding arc-shaped locking block, the arc-shaped locking block is inserted into the arc-shaped groove under the action of the elastic element, thus bringing the proximity switch two into the arc-shaped groove. At this time, the proximity switch two sends an electrical signal to control the servo motor to cut off the power. At this time, the arc-shaped locking block locks the connecting plate and the connecting shaft two through the arc-shaped groove, thereby keeping the intermediate guide cover and the upper guide cover in this state. The cylinder is used to guide the battery casing. In the initial state, the telescopic end of the cylinder is in the extended state. When it is necessary to release the limiting fixation of the connecting plate, the telescopic end of the cylinder quickly retracts, thereby driving the moving plate, telescopic rod and arc-shaped locking block away from the connecting plate until the rotating roller on the inner surface of the arc-shaped locking block no longer contacts the connecting plate. Then, the middle guide cover and the upper guide cover return to the initial position under the action of gravity. At this time, the arc-shaped groove is vertically downward. Then, the cylinder causes the telescopic end to extend again, causing the rotating roller on the inner surface of the arc-shaped locking block to abut against the surface of the connecting plate again. At this time, the second spring is compressed and deformed again, storing elastic potential energy, ready for the next round of use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-7 A battery casing recycling and sorting device includes a crusher 1, a middle partition 2 fixed on the inner wall of the crusher 1, two pairs of crushing rollers 3 rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the crusher 1 and on both sides of the middle partition 2, a drive box for driving the two pairs of crushing rollers 3 is provided on the crusher 1, two bottom guide covers 4 are symmetrically connected at the bottom of the crusher 1, a discharge belt conveyor 5 is provided below each bottom guide cover 4, a screening sensing component is provided on the upper end face of the crusher 1, a guiding component is provided inside the crusher 1, and a feeding port 6 for use with the guiding component is opened on the upper end face of the crusher 1.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 In operation, the external belt conveyor transports the battery casings to be recycled and crushed towards the screening sensor component at the top of the crusher 1. The external belt conveyor rotates intermittently, so that only one battery casing to be processed falls into the screening sensor component at a time. At this time, the screening sensor component determines whether the battery casing is made of plastic or metal. Then the guide component adjusts its angle. If the battery casing is made of plastic, the guide component rotates clockwise by a certain angle. If the battery casing is made of metal, the guide component rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle. Thus, battery casings of different materials are guided to the corresponding crushing rollers 3 for processing. After being crushed and processed by the corresponding crushing rollers 3, the battery casings of different materials are broken into fragments and fall through the corresponding bottom guide cover 4 to the corresponding discharge belt conveyor 5. Then the discharge belt conveyor 5 transports the fallen battery casing fragments away. In the process of crushing and recycling battery casings, this equipment can crush and recycle battery casings of different materials at the same time without mixing.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The screening sensing component includes a screening belt conveyor 7 fixed to the upper end face of the crusher 1. Two side plates 8 are symmetrically fixed to the upper end face of the screening belt conveyor 7. The same mounting top plate 9 is fixed to one side of the upper end face of the two side plates 8. A magnet plate 10 is movably and vertically arranged directly below the mounting top plate 9. A guide unit is arranged between the mounting top plate 9 and the magnet plate 10. A sensing unit for use with the guide component is arranged on the mounting top plate 9. An infrared photoelectric switch 30 is fixedly and continuously arranged between the two side plates 8. The infrared photoelectric switch 30 is existing technology.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 When in use, when the broken battery casing to be recycled is conveyed to the screening belt conveyor 7, the screening belt conveyor 7 rotates, thereby driving the battery casing to move towards the feeding port 6. During this process, the battery casing will pass under the magnet plate 10, and the infrared photoelectric switch 30 detects that an object has passed through.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 When the battery casing is made of plastic, the magnet plate 10 does not react and does not move when it passes under the battery casing, thus the sensing unit does not react. At this time, the guiding component rotates clockwise to guide the battery casing. When the battery casing is made of metal, the magnet plate 10 will move downward a certain distance under the action of magnetic force when it passes under the battery casing, thus the sensing unit detects the abnormality and causes the guiding component to rotate counterclockwise to guide the battery casing.

[0036] After each delivery of the battery case, the delivery component returns to its initial position (vertically downward).

[0037] Reference Figure 4 The guide unit includes two guide rods 11 fixed to the upper end face of the magnet plate 10. The upper end of each guide rod 11 movably passes through the mounting top plate 9. Two springs are symmetrically fixed between the top of the mounting top plate 9 and the magnet plate 10. Each spring is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 11.

[0038] Reference Figure 4 The sensing unit includes a T-shaped plate 12 fixed to the upper surface of the mounting top plate 9. Both ends of the upper surface of the T-shaped plate 12 are provided with mounting through holes. Each mounting through hole is fixed with a proximity switch 13 that works with the guide rod 11. The crusher 1 is equipped with a control main board, which is existing technology.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4When the metal battery casing passes under the magnet plate 10, the magnet plate 10 will move downward a certain distance under the action of magnetic force, thereby driving the guide rod 11 to move downward a certain distance as well. At this time, the end of the guide rod 11 moves away from the working end of the proximity switch 13, the proximity switch 13 is disconnected, and an electrical signal is generated, thereby causing the guide assembly to rotate counterclockwise with the cooperation of the control board.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As the magnet plate 10 moves downward, the spring is stretched and deformed, storing elastic potential energy. When the metal battery casing falls into the feeding port 6 under the conveying of the screening belt conveyor 7, the spring causes the magnet plate 10 to move upward and return to the initial state. In the initial state, the guide rod 11 contacts the working end of the proximity switch 13, and the proximity switch 13 is in the normal state.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The guiding assembly includes an intermediate guide cover 14 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the crusher 1. An upper guide cover 15 is connected to the upper end of the intermediate guide cover 14. A connecting shaft 16 and a connecting shaft 17 are fixed on both sides of the intermediate guide cover 14, respectively. Both the connecting shaft 16 and the connecting shaft 17 rotatably pass through the side wall of the crusher 1. A drive unit 1 is provided on the outer wall of the crusher 1 to cooperate with the connecting shaft 16. A limiting unit is provided on the outer wall of the crusher 1 to cooperate with the connecting shaft 17.

[0042] Two pairs of guide blocks 18 are symmetrically fixed on the inner wall of the crusher 1.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 The drive unit includes a large gear ring 19 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 16. A mounting bracket 20 is fixed on the outer side wall of the crusher 1. A servo motor 31 is fixed on the upper end face of the mounting bracket 20. A small gear ring 21 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the drive shaft of the servo motor 31. The small gear ring 21 meshes with the large gear ring 19.

[0044] Reference Figure 5 When the servo motor 31 is working, the drive shaft drives the small gear ring 21 to rotate, and the small gear ring 21 drives the large gear ring 19 and the connecting shaft 16 to rotate, thereby driving the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 to rotate, and cooperate to carry out the battery case conveying work.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The limiting unit includes a connecting plate 22 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 17. An arc-shaped groove 23 is provided on the outer surface of the connecting plate 22. Two moving plates 33 are symmetrically inclined on the side wall of the crusher 1. An arc-shaped locking block 24 is provided above each moving plate 33. Multiple rotating rollers 25 are rotatably provided on the upper surface of the arc-shaped locking block 24. An elastic element is provided between the arc-shaped locking block 24 and the moving plate 33. Two drive units 2 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the crusher 1 to cooperate with the corresponding moving plates 33. A side groove is provided on the side wall of each arc-shaped locking block 24. A proximity switch 2 32 is fixed in each side groove.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the initial state, the rotating roller 25 on the arc-shaped clamp 24 is in contact with the surface of the connecting plate 22. When the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 rotate, they will also drive the connecting shaft 17 and the connecting plate 22 to rotate together. During the rotation of the connecting plate 22, the arc-shaped groove 23 will rotate together. When the arc-shaped groove 23 is aligned with the corresponding arc-shaped clamp 24, the arc-shaped clamp 24 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 23 under the action of the elastic element, thereby bringing the proximity switch 32 into the arc-shaped groove 23. At this time, the proximity switch 32 sends an electrical signal to control the servo motor 31 to cut off the power. At this time, the arc-shaped clamp 24 clamps the connecting plate 22 and the connecting shaft 17 through the arc-shaped groove 23, thereby keeping the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 in this state, and cooperating to perform the battery case guiding work.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 rotate to a certain angle and cooperate to complete the guiding work of the battery case, the drive unit 2 drives the arc-shaped card block 24 to quickly move away from the connecting plate 22, releasing the limiting fixation of the connecting plate 22, so that the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 return to the initial vertical downward state under the action of gravity.

[0048] Reference Figure 7 Each elastic element includes a telescopic rod 26 fixed between the arc-shaped locking block 24 and the movable plate 33 and a second spring, with the second spring movably sleeved on the outer surface of the telescopic rod 26.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In the initial state, the rotating roller 25 on the arc-shaped locking block 24 is in contact with the surface of the connecting plate 22. At this time, the telescopic rod 26 is in a contracted state, the spring is in a compressed state, and it stores a certain amount of elastic potential energy. When the connecting plate 22 rotates with the arc-shaped groove 23 to align with the corresponding arc-shaped locking block 24, the arc-shaped locking block 24 is quickly inserted into the arc-shaped groove 23 under the action of the elastic potential energy of the spring, thereby limiting the connection plate 22.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 Each drive unit 2 includes a fixed seat 27 fixed on the side wall of the crusher 1. A cylinder 28 is fixed between the fixed seat 27 and the moving plate 33. Each fixed seat 27 has two guide pillars 29 symmetrically moving through the side of the corresponding moving plate 33. The upper end of each guide pillar 29 moves through the moving plate 33 and is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the arc-shaped block 24.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the initial state, the telescopic end of cylinder 28 is in an extended state. When it is necessary to release the limiting fixation of connecting plate 22, the telescopic end of cylinder 28 quickly retracts, thereby driving the moving plate 33, telescopic rod 26 and arc-shaped locking block 24 away from connecting plate 22 until the rotating roller 25 on the inner surface of arc-shaped locking block 24 no longer contacts connecting plate 22. Then, the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 return to the initial position under the action of gravity. At this time, the arc-shaped groove 23 is vertically downward. Then, cylinder 28 causes the telescopic end to extend again, causing the rotating roller 25 on the inner surface of arc-shaped locking block 24 to abut against the surface of connecting plate 22 again. At this time, spring 2 is compressed and deformed again, storing elastic potential energy, ready for the next round of use.

[0052] When using this invention, refer to Figures 1-3The external belt conveyor transports the battery casings to be recycled and crushed towards the screening and sensing component at the top of the crusher 1. The external belt conveyor rotates intermittently, so that only one battery casing to be processed falls into the screening and sensing component at a time. At this time, the screening and sensing component determines whether the battery casing is made of plastic or metal. Then the guide component adjusts its angle. If the battery casing is made of plastic, the guide component rotates clockwise by a certain angle. When the battery casing is made of metal, the guide component rotates counterclockwise by a certain angle. Thus, the battery casings of different materials are guided to the corresponding crushing rollers 3 for processing. After being crushed and processed by the corresponding crushing rollers 3, the battery casings of different materials are broken into fragments and fall through the corresponding bottom guide cover 4 to the corresponding discharge belt conveyor 5. Then the discharge belt conveyor 5 transports the fallen battery casing fragments away. In the process of crushing and recycling battery casings, this equipment can crush and recycle battery casings of different materials at the same time without mixing.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In use, when the broken battery casing to be recycled is conveyed to the screening belt conveyor 7, the screening belt conveyor 7 rotates, thereby driving the battery casing to move towards the feeding port 6. During this process, the battery casing will pass under the magnetic plate 10. The infrared photoelectric switch 30 detects that an object has passed. When the battery casing is made of plastic, the magnetic plate 10 does not react when the battery casing passes under the magnetic plate 10 and does not move, so the sensing unit does not react. At this time, the guiding component rotates clockwise to guide the battery casing. When the battery casing is made of metal, the magnetic plate 10 will move downward a distance under the action of magnetic force when the battery casing passes under the magnetic plate 10, so that the sensing unit detects the abnormality and causes the guiding component to rotate counterclockwise to guide the battery casing.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the initial state, the rotating roller 25 on the arc-shaped clamp 24 is in contact with the surface of the connecting plate 22. When the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 rotate, they will also drive the connecting shaft 17 and the connecting plate 22 to rotate together. During the rotation of the connecting plate 22, the arc-shaped groove 23 will rotate together. When the arc-shaped groove 23 is aligned with the corresponding arc-shaped clamp 24, the arc-shaped clamp 24 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 23 under the action of the elastic element, thereby bringing the proximity switch 32 into the arc-shaped groove 23. At this time, the proximity switch 32 sends an electrical signal to control the servo motor 31 to cut off the power. At this time, the arc-shaped clamp 24 clamps the connecting plate 22 and the connecting shaft 17 through the arc-shaped groove 23, thereby keeping the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 in this state, and cooperating to perform the battery case guiding work.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the initial state, the telescopic end of cylinder 28 is in an extended state. When it is necessary to release the limiting fixation of connecting plate 22, the telescopic end of cylinder 28 quickly retracts, thereby driving the moving plate 33, telescopic rod 26 and arc-shaped locking block 24 away from connecting plate 22 until the rotating roller 25 on the inner surface of arc-shaped locking block 24 no longer contacts connecting plate 22. Then, the intermediate guide cover 14 and the upper guide cover 15 return to the initial position under the action of gravity. At this time, the arc-shaped groove 23 is vertically downward. Then, cylinder 28 causes the telescopic end to extend again, causing the rotating roller 25 on the inner surface of arc-shaped locking block 24 to abut against the surface of connecting plate 22 again. At this time, spring 2 is compressed and deformed again, storing elastic potential energy, ready for the next round of use.
