[0040] Furthermore, to increase the number of heat shrinkable films collected by the collection bin 304, a heating wire is provided at the bottom of the collection bin 304, and the two ends of the heating wire are respectively connected to the positive and negative terminals of the discharger 10.

[0041] The lithium battery 6 is cylindrical, and a layer of heat shrinkable film is wrapped on the surface of the lithium battery 6. The following is a detailed description of the discharging and crushing process of the waste lithium battery 6:

[0042] First, place the lithium battery 6 horizontally, with the positive electrode of the lithium battery 6 facing forward and the negative electrode facing backward. Then, place the lithium battery 6 in sequence in the storage cavity 5001 between the front limiting plate 51 and the rear limiting plate 52. At this time, the positive electrode of the lithium battery 6 is in contact with the conductive plate of the front limiting plate 51, and the negative electrode of the lithium battery 6 is in contact with the conductive plate of the rear limiting plate 52. And by controlling the second driving member 207 to drive the shift lever 202 to move leftward, so that the shift lever 202 protrudes from the second baffle 206, thereby blocking the lithium battery 6 at the bottom of the storage cavity 5001 from falling into the discharge cavity 9001. Then, control the discharger 10 to turn on, so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the lithium battery 6 are respectively connected to both ends of the resistance wire 203, making the lithium battery 6 in a short-circuit state, thereby converting the residual electric energy in the lithium battery 6 into heat energy on the resistance wire 203, achieving the effect of quickly discharging the lithium battery 6. By setting a voltage detector in the discharger 10 to detect the voltage value between the front limiting plate 51 and the rear limiting plate 52, when the voltage value drops to the set threshold, it can be judged that the discharge of the lithium battery 6 is completed. Then, control the second driving member 207 to drive the shift lever 202 to move rightward, so that the shift lever 202 retracts to the bottom of the second baffle 206, thereby enabling the lithium battery 6 at the bottom of the storage cavity 5001 to fall into the discharge cavity 9001 in sequence, and through the limiting of the top plate 9, the first baffle 205 and the second baffle 206, from the perspective of front to back, as Figure 3As shown, stack the lithium batteries 6 in the discharge chamber 9001 to the vertical state. The lithium battery 6 at the lowermost side is in contact with the bottom plate 7001. Moreover, the central positions of the top block 8 and the first driving member 201 are aligned with the center of the lithium battery 6. Then, control the first driving member 201 to drive the top block 8 to move leftward, and at the same time, control the lock 9002 to be in the unlocked state, so that the top plate 9 can slide in the lock 9002. Thus, the top block 8 pushes the lithium battery 6 and the top plate 9 to move leftward, compressing the spring between the top plate 9 and the fixing plate 7 until the lowermost lithium battery 6 separates from the bottom plate 7001. Under the action of the self-gravity of the lithium battery 6, the lithium batteries 6 in the discharge chamber 9001 fall downward and then fall between the two crushing rollers 3. Subsequently, control the asynchronous motor on the crushing rollers 3 to start. Taking the front-to-back view as a reference, make the left crushing roller 3 rotate clockwise and the right crushing roller 3 rotate counterclockwise. The lithium battery 6 is broken into pieces by the reverse rotation of the two crushing rollers 3. Subsequently, the lithium battery 6 pieces fall into the collection box 2. Moreover, during the process of the first driving member 201 driving the top block 8 to move leftward, synchronously control the second driving member 207 to drive the shift lever 202 to move leftward, so that the shift lever 202 protrudes from the second baffle 206 to block the lithium batteries 6 in the storage chamber 5001 from falling into the discharge chamber 9001. When the lithium batteries 6 in the discharge chamber 9001 fall, control the first driving member 201 to drive the top block 8 to return to the initial position, and at the same time, the top plate 9 moves back to the initial position under the action of the spring. Subsequently, control the second driving member 207 to drive the shift lever 202 to retract, so that the lithium batteries 6 at the bottom of the storage chamber 5001 fall into the discharge chamber 9001. In this way, continuous crushing of the lithium batteries 6 can be realized. Compared with the conventional lithium battery 6 recycling method, by using the resistance wire 203, the lithium batteries 6 in the storage chamber 5001 are short-circuited, thereby realizing rapid discharge of the lithium batteries 6, eliminating the process of soaking the lithium batteries 6 in salt water, and shortening the time for recycling the lithium batteries 6. At the same time, by arranging a current protector inside the discharger 10, when the discharge current of the lithium battery 6 exceeds the threshold of the current protector, the current protector fuses, thereby blocking the continuous discharge of the lithium battery 6 and avoiding the risk of thermal runaway caused by large-current discharge of the lithium battery 6. On this basis, during the process of the crushing rollers 3 crushing the lithium battery 6, lithium batteries 6 can be synchronously added to the storage chamber 5001, thereby realizing the synchronous progress of the discharge and crushing of the lithium batteries 6 and improving the recycling efficiency of the lithium batteries 6.

[0043] During the continuous discharge of the lithium battery 6, heat is easily generated inside the lithium battery 6. Moreover, since the lithium batteries 6 in the storage cavity 5001 are stacked on top of each other, it is difficult for the heat of the lithium battery 6 in the middle to dissipate, which easily causes the temperature of the lithium battery 6 to continue to rise, and then spontaneous combustion occurs. Therefore, by providing a gap 5002 between the front limiting plate 51 and the rear limiting plate 52, the contact area between the lithium battery 6 and the outside air is increased, facilitating the heat dissipation of the lithium battery 6 to the outside and preventing the lithium battery 6 from spontaneous combustion due to excessive temperature.

[0044] Since the models of the recycled lithium batteries 6 are different, with different lengths and different diameters, different lithium batteries 6 need to be classified before crushing. On this basis, the support rod 4 is set as an electric push rod. Before placing the lithium battery 6, the distance between the front limiting plate 51 and the rear limiting plate 52 can be adjusted through the support rod 4, so that the storage cavity 5001 can adapt to lithium batteries 6 of different lengths, improving the adaptability to the lithium battery 6. Further, by setting the carriage 204 to slide left and right on the fixed plate 7, the first baffle 205 and the second baffle 206 slide left and right on the fixed plate 7, so that the position of the fixed plate 7 on the carriage 204 can be adjusted manually, and then the distance between the top plate 9 and the first baffle 205 can be adjusted, so that the space of the discharge cavity 9001 changes adaptively with the diameter of the lithium battery 6. At the same time, by setting the first driving member 201 to slide in the corresponding adjustment groove 7002, it is convenient for manual adjustment of the center distance between two adjacent first driving members 201, so that the center distance between two adjacent first driving members 201 is consistent with the center distance between two adjacent lithium batteries 6, which is convenient for the top block 8 to push the lithium battery 6 to move left. Moreover, by setting the first baffle 205 to slide in the through groove of the corresponding carriage 204, it is convenient for manual adjustment of the distance between two adjacent first baffles 205, so that the distance between two adjacent first baffles 205 changes adaptively with the center distance between two adjacent lithium batteries 6.

[0045] Since a heat shrink film is wrapped on the surface of the lithium battery 6, when the lithium battery 6 is crushed, the heat shrink film is usually crushed together, and in the subsequent treatment of the lithium battery 6, the heat shrink film is separately separated. In this way, an additional device for separating the heat shrink film needs to be added, thereby increasing the recycling cost. Moreover, during the crushing process, the electrolyte in the lithium battery 6 is likely to adhere to the heat shrink film, thus increasing the subsequent cleaning work of the heat shrink film. For this reason, a first cutting knife 301 and a clamping plate 302 are installed on two top blocks 8 at the same height. The first cutting knife 301 is used to push the lithium battery 6 to move instead of the top block 8. And before the first driving member 201 drives the top block 8 and the first cutting knife 301 to move leftward, first control the lock 9002 to be in the locked state, so that the top plate 9 is locked on the lock 9002. Then control the first driving member 201 to drive the first cutting knife 301 and the clamping plate 302 to move leftward, so that the first cutting knife 301 presses the lithium battery 6 leftward. At the same time, power is supplied to the first cutting knife 301 through an external power supply device, so that the temperature at the cutting edge of the first cutting knife 301 rises. Then, the heat shrink film on the surface of the lithium battery 6 is heated by the high temperature at the cutting edge, so that the contact surface between the heat shrink film and the cutting edge of the first cutting knife 301 shrinks, thereby disconnecting the heat shrink film. Then turn off the power supply of the first cutting knife 301. Subsequently, control the lock 9002 to be in the unlocked state, so that the top plate 9 can slide in the lock 9002, thereby enabling the first cutting knife 301 to push the lithium battery 6 and the top plate 9 to move leftward. During this process, since the blade spacing between the two second cutting knives 303 is equal to the width of the storage cavity 5001, that is, the two second cutting knives 303 are respectively aligned with the front center and the rear center of the adjacent lithium battery 6. As the lithium battery 6 moves leftward, the two second cutting knives 303 respectively contact the front part and the rear part of the heat shrink film on the surface of the lithium battery 6, and cut off the front part and the rear part of the heat shrink film through the second cutting knives 303. At this time, the heat shrink film is in a completely disconnected state. And after the heat shrink film located under the first cutting knife 301 is disconnected, it drops to the right between the first cutting knife 301 and the clamping plate 302. At the same time, as the first cutting knife 301 and the second cutting knife 303 move leftward, the sliding groove 30201 is synchronously driven to move leftward, so that the sliding groove 30201 contacts the guiding block 20501, and then the guiding block 20501 guides the clamping plate 302 to move upward. The spring between the clamping plate 302 and the first cutting knife 301 is stretched by force until the clamping plate 302 and the first cutting knife 301 are mutually attached, thereby clamping the heat shrink film located between the clamping plate 302 and the first cutting knife 301. And as the clamping plate 302 and the first cutting knife 301 continue to move leftward until the lithium battery 6 is separated from the bottom plate 7001, the lithium battery 6 drops downward, so that during the process of pushing the lithium battery 6 out of the discharge cavity 9001, the heat shrink film is separated by the clamping plate 302 and the first cutting knife 301, avoiding the subsequent separate separation treatment of the heat shrink film, improving the separation efficiency, reducing the recycling cost, and reducing the subsequent cleaning work of the heat shrink film. During this process,When the clamping plate 302 and the first cutting knife 301 clamp the heat-shrinkable film, since a heat-insulating plate 30101 is arranged on the lower side of the first cutting knife 301, the heat-insulating plate 30101 is used to cooperate with the clamping plate 302 to clamp the heat-shrinkable film instead of the first cutting knife 301, avoiding the heat on the first cutting knife 301 from being transferred to the heat-shrinkable film and causing the heat-shrinkable film to overheat and melt and adhere to the first cutting knife 301. When the lithium battery 6 drops downward, the first driving member 201 drives the first cutting knife 301 and the clamping plate 302 to move to the right, thereby driving the heat-shrinkable film to move to the right. At the same time, the top plate 9 resets. At this time, the heat-shrinkable film is located in the discharge cavity 9001. Subsequently, the first cutting knife 301 and the clamping plate 302 are moved to the right to the initial position, so that the sliding groove 30201 is disengaged from the guiding block 20501, and the spring between the first cutting knife 301 and the second cutting knife 303 resets, so that the second cutting knife 303 moves downward, so that the heat-shrinkable film loses clamping, and the heat-shrinkable film moves downward to the upper surface of the bottom plate 7001. Based on the front-to-back view, the motor 305 is controlled to drive the bottom plate 7001 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the heat-shrinkable film on the upper surface of the bottom plate 7001 falls into the collection bin 304. Subsequently, the bottom plate 7001 is controlled to reset and move, realizing the collection of the heat-shrinkable film. Moreover, when there are more heat-shrinkable films accumulated below the bottom plate 7001, the motor 305 drives the bottom plate 7001 to rotate counterclockwise to push the heat-shrinkable films below the bottom plate 7001 backward, so that the heat-shrinkable films are close to the discharge port 30402. When there are more heat-shrinkable films accumulated inside the collection bin 304, the peripheral air extraction device starts to extract air from the discharge port 30402, and uses the negative pressure generated by the air extraction to suck away the heat-shrinkable films around the discharge port 30402, thereby replacing manual labor to collect the heat-shrinkable films in the collection bin 304 and reducing the manual cleaning workload. Moreover, since a telescopic part 30401 is arranged in the middle of the collection bin 304, when the distance between the front side limiting plate 51 and the rear side limiting plate 52 changes, the telescopic part 30401 telescopically adapts, so as to ensure that the space of the collection bin 304 can adapt to the size of the lithium battery 6.,

[0046] In the above work of adjusting the distance between the front side limiting plate 51 and the rear side limiting plate 52 through the support rod 4, and then adjusting the width of the storage cavity 5001 to adapt to lithium batteries 6 of different lengths, the movement of the front side limiting plate 51 and the rear side limiting plate 52 synchronously drives the two fixing plates 7 to move, and then synchronously drives the carriage 204 and the second cutting knife 303 to move forward or backward, realizing synchronous adjustment of the blade spacing of every two corresponding second cutting knives 303, and then adapting to the film cutting work of lithium batteries 6 of different lengths. Moreover, the movement of the fixing plate 7 will drive the first driving member 201 and the top block 8 to move synchronously, so that the top block 8 slides back and forth on the first cutting knife 301.

[0047] On this basis, since a heating wire is provided at the bottom of the collection bin 304, when the lithium battery 6 discharges, the temperature of the heating wire rises, thereby increasing the temperature of the bottom of the collection bin 304. As a result, the heat shrink film in the collection bin 304 is heated and shrunk, reducing the space occupied by the heat shrink film, and thus increasing the number of heat shrink films that can be collected in the collection bin 304.

[0048] Embodiment 2

[0049] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, it further includes a water pipe 401; two symmetrically arranged water pipes 401 are fixedly connected to the fixing frame 1; each water pipe 401 is located above the adjacent crushing roller 3; a number of drainage holes are provided on each water pipe 401, and the drainage holes face between the two crushing rollers 3; the two water pipes 401 are communicated with an external water supply device.

[0050] Furthermore, to improve the recovery and utilization rate of the residual power in the lithium battery 6, a cavity is provided on the side wall of the collection box 2, and the resistance wire 203 is located in the cavity of the collection box 2, so that the heat energy generated by the resistance wire 203 is concentrated in the collection box 2, and then the lithium battery 6 fragments are dried by the heat energy in the collection box 2.

[0051] When the first cutter 301 presses the lithium battery 6, the heat on the first cutter 301 will be transferred to the lithium battery 6, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the upper surface of the lithium battery 6. Moreover, during the process of the crushing roller 3 crushing the lithium battery 6, the electrolyte after the lithium battery 6 is crushed is easily attached to the surface of the crushing roller 3. Since the crushing roller 3 continuously rubs against the lithium battery 6 and the surface temperature of the lithium battery 6 is relatively high, it is easy to cause the combustion of flammable organic substances in the electrolyte, generating harmful gases. At the same time, during the crushing process of the lithium battery 6, some lithium battery 6 debris will be generated. These debris contain electrolyte and are polluting, and the lithium battery 6 debris is easily scattered into the air, resulting in air quality pollution and making the working environment of the staff poor. Therefore, water is conveyed into the water pipe 401 through an external water supply device, and the water is sprayed out in a mist form from the drainage holes, so as to spray onto the lithium battery 6 between the two crushing rollers 3. The lithium battery 6 debris is wetted by the mist, preventing the lithium battery 6 debris from escaping everywhere, thus avoiding air quality pollution and improving the working environment of the staff. In addition, the surface of the crushing roller 3 and the lithium battery 6 are cooled by the mist, thus avoiding the combustion of flammable organic substances in the electrolyte.

[0052] On this basis, when the lithium battery 6 is wetted during the crushing process, its fragments contain moisture, which is not convenient for subsequent separation of the lithium battery 6 fragments. Therefore, when discharging the lithium battery 6, the electrical energy in the lithium battery 6 is converted into the heat energy of the heating wire 203. By arranging the heating wire 203 in the cavity of the collection box 2, the heat energy is concentrated in the collection box 2, and then the heat energy in the collection box 2 is used to dry the lithium battery 6 fragments, thus facilitating the subsequent separation of the lithium battery 6 fragments. Compared with the conventional drying method, by using the heat energy generated by discharging the lithium battery 6 to dry the moisture in the lithium battery 6 fragments, the recycling of the residual power in the lithium battery 6 is realized, the recycling rate of the lithium battery 6 is improved, and the electrical energy required for drying the lithium battery 6 fragments is reduced, thus reducing the recycling cost.

The scope of the following claims should be given the broadest interpretation so as to cover all modifications and equivalent structures and functions.
