Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of waste lithium battery treatment, and in particular to a lithium battery waste electrolyte treatment device and a treatment method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Lithium battery electrolytes are mainly composed of high-value lithium salt electrolytes and organic solvents. Lithium salts are easily decomposed into toxic and harmful substances, while organic solvents are volatile and flammable. In addition, electrolytes account for 12%-15% of the mass of lithium-ion power batteries. If they can be recycled and reused, they can generate good economic and ecological benefits.

[0003] Patent No. CN113909267B discloses a waste lithium battery electrolyte treatment system and its treatment process, specifically a first processing frame and a second storage chamber, a support frame is provided on the outside of the bottom of the first processing frame, and a second processing frame is installed on the outside of the bottom of the support frame, a guide belt is provided in the middle of the outside of the bottom of the first processing frame, and a stabilizing frame is installed at one end of the outside of the bottom of the guide belt. This waste lithium battery electrolyte treatment system and its treatment process can utilize the design of the first storage chamber to collect the batteries after screening during use, and during the collection process, the design of the inclined plate can be used to transfer the battery debris to one side of the first storage chamber, and the design of the electric push rod can be used to drive the connecting plate to move, so that the battery debris placed in the first storage chamber can be squeezed through the movement of the connecting plate, which is convenient for collecting the battery debris and reducing the occupied space.

[0004] In the prior art, the battery is crushed by a crushing device, and the battery debris placed in the first storage cavity is squeezed by moving the connecting plate, so as to facilitate the collection of the battery debris and reduce the occupied space. However, the electrolyte treatment work in the battery is to heat the crushed battery debris at high temperature, and separate the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery by heating. Battery debris will accumulate during the heating and separation process, resulting in inconsistent battery debris electrolyte separation efficiency, which prolongs the heating time. The prolonged heating time in a high temperature environment is very likely to cause the organic solvent to spontaneously combust.

This is set up so that the lithium battery fragments entering the working box each time are equal and spaced, so that the heating wire in the working box can heat and separate the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery fragments more efficiently, and avoid the lithium battery fragments all entering the working box at once, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of heating and separating the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery fragments; (3) After the separation of the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery fragments is completed, the driving component drives the vibration component to vibrate the working plate. There are a small number of holes on the working plate.

This setting is to prevent the separated lithium battery fragments from being retained on the working plate, so that the working plate can free up corresponding space so that the working plate can accommodate more lithium battery fragments whose electrolyte and organic solvent have not been separated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the present invention is a lithium battery waste electrolyte treatment device, comprising a working box 1, a feed pipe 2, an air outlet pipe 3, a heating wire 33 and a working plate 25; and also comprising a flipping vibration unit arranged in the working box 1; The feed pipe 2 and the air outlet pipe 3 are connected through the inner cavity of the working box 1; The heating wire 33 is arranged inside the working box 1; The working plate 25 is arranged inside the working box 1; The flipping and vibration unit is arranged in the working box 1, and includes a driving component, a flipping component, a switch component and a vibration component; the driving component drives the flipping component to move; the driving component drives the switch component to switch the feeding pipe 2; the driving component drives the vibration component to vibrate; The driving component drives the switch component to switch the feed pipe 2 so that the broken lithium battery fragments are transported to the working plate 25 in the working box 1 at intervals. At this time, the driving component drives the flipping component to flip the lithium battery fragments, so that the heating wire 33 bakes the lithium battery fragments, and the electrolyte and organic solvent on the lithium battery fragments are decomposed and volatilized. The volatilized electrolyte and organic solvent are discharged through the outlet pipe 3 and then processed uniformly. The processed lithium battery fragments are then passed through the working plate 25 by the vibration component; The waste lithium battery material is crushed by a crusher, and then conveyed through the feed pipe 2. The driving component in the working box 1 drives the switch component to switch the feed pipe 2, so that the lithium battery crushed materials are intermittently put into the working plate 25 in the working box 1. This arrangement is to ensure that the lithium battery crushed materials entering the working box 1 are equal in amount and at intervals each time, so that the heating wire 33 in the working box 1 can heat and separate the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery crushed materials more efficiently, and avoid the lithium battery crushed materials from all entering the working box 1 at once, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of heating and separating the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery crushed materials; When the lithium battery scraps enter the working plate 25 and are heated, the driving component drives the flipping component to move, so that the flipping component flips the lithium battery scraps on the working plate 25, and the lithium battery scraps accumulated at the bottom are flipped up. This arrangement allows the lithium battery scraps on the working plate 25 to be evenly heated, so that the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery scraps are separated in a short time, and then the volatilized electrolyte and organic solvent are discharged from the working box 1 through the exhaust pipe 3, so as to avoid the accumulation of lithium battery scraps, which prolongs the heating and separation time of the electrolyte and organic solvent, thereby causing the risk of spontaneous combustion of the organic solvent; After the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery fragments are separated, the driving component drives the vibration component to vibrate the working plate 25. A small number of holes are opened on the working plate 25. The vibration will cause the lithium battery fragments to slowly move and fall into the holes on the working plate 25, and the lithium battery fragments will enter the bottom of the working box 1 through the holes on the working plate 25. This arrangement is to prevent the separated lithium battery fragments from being retained on the working plate 25, so that the working plate 25 can free up corresponding space so that the working plate 25 can accommodate more lithium battery fragments whose electrolyte and organic solvent have not been separated.

The flipping block 23 will also compress the first spring 21 sleeved on the first sliding rod 22 while moving on the first sliding rod 22. When the elliptical plate 24 rotates to a position parallel to the flipping block 23, the flipping block 23 will no longer be subjected to the pressure of the elliptical plate 24. At this time, the first spring 21 will release the compressed elastic potential energy to move the flipping block 23, so that the flipping block 23 can move on the working plate 25. The flipping block 23 is set to a shape equivalent to a triangle, so that the flipping block 23 can flip the lithium battery crushed material on the working plate 25 back and forth to allow it to be evenly heated.

The movement of the sliding door 18 will stretch the third spring 34 sleeved on the second sliding rod 35, so that the third spring 34 is deformed. When the rotating plate 36 rotates to disengage from the special-shaped block 19, the third spring 34 will pull the sliding door 18 back, so that the sliding door 18 blocks the pipe mouth of the feeding pipe 2, so that the lithium battery fragments in the feeding pipe 2 no longer enter the working box 1, so that the intermittent delivery of the lithium battery fragments is achieved, and the lithium battery fragments will not be allowed to enter the working box 1 all at once.

[0026] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a method for treating waste electrolyte of lithium batteries comprises the following steps: S1: The crushed lithium battery material enters the working plate 25 in the working box 1 through the feeding pipe 2, and the heating wire 33 in the working box 1 is started to heat the lithium battery crushed material; S2: After the lithium battery fragments fall onto the working plate 25, the flipping block 23 flips the lithium battery fragments on the working plate 25, so that the heating wire 33 can evenly and quickly decompose and volatilize the electrolyte and organic solvent on the lithium battery fragments, and the volatilized electrolyte and organic solvent are discharged through the air outlet pipe 3 at the top of the working box 1, and then uniformly processed; S3: The decomposed and volatilized lithium battery fragments will vibrate through the working plate 25 and fall into the discharge bin 6 at the bottom of the working box 1 ; the decomposed and volatilized lithium battery fragments will be transported out of the working box 1 by the conveying disk 7 in the discharge bin 6 .

[0027] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the waste lithium battery material is crushed by a crusher, and then conveyed through a feed pipe 2 after crushing. The driving component in the working box 1 drives the switch component to switch the feed pipe 2, so that the lithium battery crushed materials are intermittently put into the working plate 25 in the working box 1. This arrangement is to ensure that the lithium battery crushed materials entering the working box 1 are equal in amount and at intervals each time, so that the heating wire 33 in the working box 1 can heat and separate the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery crushed materials more efficiently, and avoid the lithium battery crushed materials all entering the working box 1 at once, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of heating and separating the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery crushed materials; When the lithium battery scraps enter the working plate 25 and are heated, the driving component drives the flipping component to move, so that the flipping component flips the lithium battery scraps on the working plate 25, and the lithium battery scraps accumulated at the bottom are flipped up. This arrangement allows the lithium battery scraps on the working plate 25 to be evenly heated, so that the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery scraps are separated in a short time, and then the volatilized electrolyte and organic solvent are discharged from the working box 1 through the exhaust pipe 3, so as to avoid the accumulation of lithium battery scraps, which prolongs the heating and separation time of the electrolyte and organic solvent, thereby causing the risk of spontaneous combustion of the organic solvent; After the electrolyte and organic solvent in the lithium battery fragments are separated, the driving component drives the vibration component to vibrate the working plate 25. A small number of holes are opened on the working plate 25. The vibration will cause the lithium battery fragments to slowly move and fall into the holes on the working plate 25, and the lithium battery fragments will enter the bottom of the working box 1 through the holes on the working plate 25. This arrangement is to prevent the separated lithium battery fragments from being retained on the working plate 25, so that the working plate 25 can free up corresponding space so that the working plate 25 can accommodate more lithium battery fragments whose electrolyte and organic solvent have not been separated.
