Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium battery puncture experiments, in particular to a waste lithium battery puncture device and a use method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the recycling and tier utilization of waste lithium batteries have become a key technical link in global energy transformation. In the battery recycling process, the puncture device, as the core equipment for evaluating the safety performance of the battery, needs to simulate extreme working conditions such as internal short circuit and thermal runaway of the battery, and accurately obtain data such as battery rupture mode, gas release characteristics and thermal spread law, to provide a scientific basis for battery recycling process optimization. However, during the puncture of the lithium battery, the internal electrolyte, lithium metal and active substances will instantaneously release a large amount of high-temperature and high-pressure gas.

[0003] The sharp increase in internal pressure of the device caused by the leakage of high-pressure gas during the puncture of the waste lithium battery (such as a ternary lithium battery) is usually maintained by a pressure relief valve to balance the gas pressure inside the device. However, the pressure relief valve can only be opened passively when the internal pressure of the device exceeds the set value, and it is difficult to actively intervene in the rapid accumulation of high-pressure gas, which increases the risk of deflagration. Moreover, the pressure relief valve can cause the gas flow path inside the device to be single, which can easily form a local high-pressure area and a pressure dead zone, thereby intensifying the electrolyte atomization, increasing the temperature gradient, and accelerating the spread of thermal runaway. In addition, the valve threshold of the pressure relief valve is fixed, and it is difficult to adjust the pressure relief strategy according to different types of lithium batteries or working conditions.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the increase of the air pressure inside the puncture cabin 101 makes part of the gas inside enter the inside of the C-shaped gas collecting shell 201, and pass through the gas distribution pot 202 and the first fixed block 203 to enter the inside of the fixed sleeve 204, the continuously increasing air pressure inside the fixed sleeve 204 pushes the first sliding sleeve 205 and the first moving block 206 to move towards the second fixed block 207;

[0050] When the air pressure inside the puncture cabin 101 is not enough to make the plug pipe 212 insert into the inside of the sleeve pipe 213, with the continuous discharge of the gas inside the puncture cabin 101 through the first electromagnetic valve 222 on the surface of the gas distribution pot 202, the first moving block 206 drives the first sliding sleeve 205 to reset under the action of the elastic potential energy of the third spring 227;

[0051] When the air pressure inside the puncture cabin 101 is enough to make the first sliding sleeve 205 drive the first moving block 206 to move towards the second fixed block 207, until the plug pipe 212 inserts into the inside of the sleeve pipe 213 and pushes the plug 214 away from the surface of the sleeve pipe 213, the plug 214 no longer blocks the sleeve pipe 213, so that the gas inside the first sliding sleeve 205 enters the first cavity inside the second fixed block 207 through the plug pipe 212, and is discharged through the third one-way valve 223 on the surface of the second fixed block 207;

[0052] In the embodiment, the external inert gas source device is connected to the inside of the gas inlet of the second one-way valve 221 through a pipeline, and the pressure sensor is installed in the inside of the air pressure adjusting box 219, so that the inert gas pressure inside the air pressure adjusting box 219 is always kept at a set interval value, the movement of the first moving block 206 drives the second moving block 210 to move along the surface of the constraint sliding rod 209 towards the direction of compressing the first air bag 216 through the connecting rod 211, the compression of the first air bag 216 makes the inert gas inside enter the inside of the air pressure adjusting box 219, and then enters the inside of the puncture cabin 101 through the first one-way valve 220, so as to further dilute the combustible and harmful gas inside the puncture cabin 101 and reduce the occurrence of deflagration;

[0053] When the first sliding sleeve 205 shrinks under the action of the elastic potential energy of the third spring 227, the first air bag 216 synchronously expands and absorbs the inert gas from the inside of the air pressure adjusting box 219 for storage, in the expansion process of the first air bag 216, the external inert gas source device continuously inputs the inert gas into the inside of the air pressure adjusting box 219 to keep the stability of the air pressure inside the air pressure adjusting box 219 in the process of the first air bag 216 absorbing the inert gas from the inside of the air pressure adjusting box 219 through the pipeline;

[0054] When the first air bag 216 is contracted, the inert gas is extruded into the inside of the gas pressure regulating box 219 through the pipeline, and is input into the inside of the puncture cabin 101 through the first one-way valve 220, the gas pressure value in the inside of the gas pressure regulating box 219 exceeds the set value, and the external inert gas source device no longer inputs the inert gas into the inside of the gas pressure regulating box 219;

[0055] When the set value of the gas pressure in the inside of the gas pressure regulating box 219 is lower than the opening pressure of the first one-way valve 220, the inert gas is only input into the inside of the puncture cabin 101 through the first one-way valve 220 when the first air bag 216 is contracted;

[0056] When the set value of the gas pressure in the inside of the gas pressure regulating box 219 is higher than the opening pressure of the first one-way valve 220, the first one-way valve 220 continuously and stably inputs the inert gas into the inside of the puncture cabin 101 when the first air bag 216 is not deformed, and the pressure in the inside of the gas pressure regulating box 219 rises when the first air bag 216 is compressed and deformed, and the external inert gas source device stops inputting the inert gas into the inside of the gas pressure regulating box 219.

[0059] When the puncture position of the waste lithium battery sprays a high-pressure gas flow, the protective bucket 217 is located above the spraying position, the high-pressure gas flow is guided to multiple directions through the curved inner wall of the protective bucket 217, so as to reduce the sudden increase of the concentration of flammable and harmful gas in a certain area in the inside of the puncture cabin 101, and further to cause deflagration, the inert gas released by the air outlet ring 218 connected with the air outlet of the first one-way valve 220 through the pipeline is mixed with the harmful and flammable gas, so as to cool and dilute the harmful and flammable gas, and further to prevent the occurrence of deflagration.
