Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of waste battery processing, in particular to a feeding device for crushing waste batteries. Background Art

[0002] With the widespread use and replacement of electronic devices, the number of used batteries has increased dramatically. Effectively processing used batteries, such as crushing them to extract valuable metals and other materials, has become a crucial task in resource recovery and environmental protection. Feeding equipment is a key component of the waste battery processing process, and its performance directly impacts the efficiency and safety of the entire process.

[0003] Traditional waste battery feeding equipment is typically simple, often consisting of a simple feeding box where batteries are dropped directly into the box and then transported through a bottom opening or a simple slide. This transporter typically uses a conventional belt conveyor or chain conveyor.

[0004] However, when feeding larger or heavier waste batteries, gravity directly impacts the bottom of the feed box and the transport mechanism, generating significant instantaneous impact forces. This impact, acting on the feed box over a long period of time, can easily cause deformation and cracking of the bottom, reducing the service life and stability of the feed box. For transport mechanisms such as conveyor belts and chains, frequent impacts can increase belt wear, stretch and deform the chain, and even damage transmission components, increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime, and impacting the continuity and efficiency of waste battery processing. Summary of the Invention

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: a telescopic motor is provided on the mounting plate, an output end of the telescopic motor is connected to a telescopic rod, and a limit rod is fixedly provided on the end of the telescopic rod.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: a rubber layer is provided on the top of the buffer plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The present invention hinges one end of the buffer plate to a hinge block on the inner wall of the feeding box. Under the action of the weight of the battery, the buffer plate will rotate around the hinge point. The abutment seat at the bottom of the buffer plate is hinged to the support column, and the support column retracts and expands within the abutment sleeve, and a first spring connects the support column and the inside of the abutment sleeve. When the buffer plate rotates, the first spring is compressed or stretched, and the elastic deformation of the first spring is used to buffer the impact force of the falling battery, avoiding excessive instantaneous pressure on the feeding box and subsequent transportation mechanism caused by the sudden impact of the battery, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the feeding mechanism.

[0018] 2. The present invention provides a conical funnel and a feeding port. When batteries fall from the conical funnel into the feeding port, the buffer block is hinged to the buffer seat and has a torsion spring. When the battery contacts the buffer block, the buffer block rotates about the hinge point, twisting the torsion spring. Buffer blocks at different positions and heights sequentially contact the battery, gradually slowing the battery's fall. The rotation of the buffer block and the elastic deformation of the torsion spring absorb the battery's falling kinetic energy. This prevents damage to the feeding port caused by the battery's rapid fall, effectively reducing the battery's falling speed and impact force at the feeding port, reducing collision and friction between the battery and the inner wall of the feeding port and the conveyor belt, and protecting the stability and reliability of the feeding port and related connection structures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a feeding equipment for crushing waste batteries includes a feeding box 1, a buffer mechanism and a transport mechanism, the buffer mechanism is arranged in the feeding box 1, and the feeding box 1 is arranged above the transport mechanism; the buffer mechanism includes a buffer plate 2, a hinge block 11 and an abutment sleeve 3, the hinge blocks 11 are arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the feeding box 1, one end of the buffer plate 2 is hinged to the hinge block 11, support blocks 12 are arranged on both sides of the inside of the feeding box 1, and the support block 12 is located below the hinge block 11; an abutment seat 21 is provided at the bottom of the buffer plate 2, one end of the abutment sleeve 3 is hinged to the support block 12, and the other end is telescopically provided with a support column 31, one end of the support column 31 is provided with a first spring 32 and the inside of the abutment sleeve 3, and the other end is hinged to the abutment seat 21.

[0028] After the used batteries are put into the feeding box 1, they first fall on the buffer plate 2. Since one end of the buffer plate 2 is hinged to the hinge block 11 on the inner wall of the feeding box 1, the buffer plate 2 will rotate around the hinge point under the action of the gravity of the battery. The abutment seat 21 at the bottom of the buffer plate 2 is hinged to the support column 31, and the support column 31 is retracted in the abutment sleeve 3, and the first spring 32 connects the support column 31 and the inside of the abutment sleeve 3. When the buffer plate 2 rotates, the first spring 32 is compressed or stretched, and the elastic deformation of the spring is used to buffer the impact force of the falling battery, avoiding excessive instantaneous pressure on the feeding box 1 and the subsequent transportation mechanism due to the sudden impact of the battery, thereby protecting the structural integrity of the feeding mechanism. A damper adapted to it is provided in the first spring 32.

[0029] The transport mechanism includes a mounting frame 4, a conveyor belt 42 and a rotating motor 43. Two rollers 41 are arranged between the two mounting frames 4. The conveyor belt 42 is rotatably arranged on the rollers 41. The output end of the rotating motor 43 is connected to one end of the roller 41. Mounting plates 44 are provided on both sides of the mounting frame 4. Fixed frames 9 are provided on both sides of the feeding box 1. One end of the fixed frame 9 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 44, and the other end is fixedly connected to both sides of the feeding box 1.

[0030] The rotating motor 43 starts, rotating the rollers 41 connected to it. Since the conveyor belt 42 is mounted on two rollers 41, it begins to rotate under the drive of the rollers 41. The mounting frame 4 provides support for the rollers 41, and the mounting plate 44 connects the feeding box 1 and the mounting frame 4, forming a stable structure for the entire device. After being buffered by the buffer mechanism, the used batteries fall through the conical funnel 5 and feeding port 51 at the bottom of the feeding box 1 and onto the conveyor belt 42, which transports the batteries to subsequent processing steps.

[0031] A conical funnel 5 is provided at the bottom of the feeding box 1, and a feeding port 51 is provided at the bottom of the conical funnel 5. Several buffer blocks 52 are provided on the inner wall of the feeding port 51, and a buffer seat 53 is provided on the inner wall of the feeding port 51. The buffer blocks 52 and the buffer seat 53 are hingedly provided, and a torsion spring 54 is provided at the hinged position of the buffer blocks 52 and the buffer seat 53. The bottom of the feeding port 51 is provided above the conveyor belt 42; the buffer blocks 52 are arranged in a staggered and high-low arrangement.

[0032] When batteries fall from the conical funnel 5 into the feeding port 51, the buffer block 52, hinged to the buffer seat 53 and equipped with a torsion spring 54, rotates around the hinge point when the battery contacts the buffer block 52, twisting the torsion spring 54. Buffer blocks 52 at different positions and heights sequentially contact the battery, gradually slowing its fall. The rotation of the buffer block 52 and the elastic deformation of the torsion spring 54 absorb the battery's kinetic energy.

[0033] This prevents the battery from falling too fast and causing damage to the feeding port 51, effectively reduces the falling speed and impact force of the battery at the feeding port 51, reduces the collision and friction between the battery and the inner wall of the feeding port 51 and the conveyor belt 42, and prevents the feeding port 51 from cracking, breaking and other problems due to impact. At the same time, it also avoids the blockage of the battery at the feeding port 51, ensures the smoothness of feeding, and protects the stability and reliability of the feeding port 51 and related connection structures.

[0034] The mounting plate 44 is provided with a telescopic motor 6 , the output end of the telescopic motor 6 is connected to a telescopic rod 61 , and a limit rod 62 is fixedly provided at the end of the telescopic rod 61 ; the conveyor belt 42 is provided with an anti-sliding block 421 .

[0035] The position of the limiting rod 62 is adjusted by controlling the telescopic motor 6. After the equipment is started, the batteries are transported on the conveyor belt 42, and the limiting rod 62 is always maintained in the appropriate position to limit the battery. If batteries of different sizes need to be replaced, the telescopic motor 6 can be adjusted again to change the position of the limiting rod 62, ensuring that the batteries are always within a safe and controllable range during transportation, effectively preventing the batteries from sliding on the conveyor belt 42 and striking surrounding equipment. The anti-slip block 421 on the conveyor belt 42 increases the friction of the batteries on the conveyor belt 42, reducing slippage.

[0036] A shock-absorbing seat 7 is provided between the mounting frames 4 , a shock-absorbing block 71 is provided inside the shock-absorbing seat 7 , a second spring 72 is provided between the shock-absorbing block 71 and the inside of the shock-absorbing seat 7 , and the top of the shock-absorbing block 71 is connected to the inside of the conveyor belt 42 .

[0037] When the conveyor belt 42 vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the damping block 71. The damping block 71 moves up and down within the damping seat 7, compressing or stretching the second spring 72. The elastic deformation of the second spring 72 absorbs the vibration energy, converting it into elastic potential energy, thereby reducing the impact of the vibration on the conveyor belt 42 and the connected feeding box 1, among other components. A matching damper is provided on the second spring 72.

[0038] A support leg 8 is provided at the bottom of the mounting frame 4 ; a shock-absorbing pad 81 is provided at the bottom of the support leg 8 .

[0039] The shock-absorbing pads 81 at the bottom of the support legs 8 are made of elastic material. When the entire device is subjected to vibration, the support legs 8 transmit the vibration to the shock-absorbing pads 81. When subjected to pressure, the shock-absorbing pads 81 elastically deform, absorbing some of the vibration energy, thereby reducing the amplitude of the vibration transmitted to the device body. This prevents problems such as loosening and damage of components caused by vibration transmitted from the bottom of the device, thereby maintaining the stability of the overall structure of the device.

[0040] A rubber layer is provided on the top of the buffer plate 2 to further buffer the impact force when the battery falls, reduce the wear of the buffer plate 2 and the problem of excessive local force on the feeding box 1 caused by the impact of the battery, protect the buffer plate 2 and the feeding box 1 structure, and extend their service life.

[0041] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: after the used batteries are put into the feeding box 1, they first fall onto the buffer plate 2. The buffer plate 2 is hinged at one end to the hinge block 11 on the inner wall of the feeding box 1. Under the action of the weight of the battery, the buffer plate 2 rotates around the hinge point. The bottom abutment seat 21 is hinged to the support column 31. The support column 31 is telescopic in the abutment sleeve 3 and is connected to the first spring 32. The compression or tension deformation of the first spring 32 buffers the impact force of the battery falling. At the same time, its internal damper assists in stabilizing the buffering process, avoiding instantaneous heavy pressure on the feeding box 1 and subsequent transportation mechanisms, and protecting the feeding mechanism; then the battery passes through the conical funnel 5 to the feeding port 51. Because the buffer block 52 is hinged to the buffer seat 53 and the torsion spring 54 is set, the buffer blocks 52 at different positions and heights contact the battery in turn to slow down its falling speed. Absorb its kinetic energy, prevent the feeding port 51 from being damaged by impact and ensure smooth feeding; then the battery falls on the conveyor belt 42, and the rotating motor 43 drives the roller 41 to make the conveyor belt 42 run to transport the battery, the mounting frame 4 supports the roller 41, and the mounting plate 44 connects the feeding box 1 and the mounting frame 4 to form a stable structure. The telescopic motor 6 on the mounting plate 44 controls the position of the limit rod 62 to prevent the battery from slipping and hitting the equipment. The shock-absorbing block 71 and the second spring 72 and the matching damper in the shock-absorbing seat 7 between the mounting frame 4 absorb the vibration energy of the conveyor belt 42 to reduce the impact on related components. The support legs 8 and shock-absorbing pads 81 at the bottom of the mounting frame 4 absorb the vibration transmitted from the bottom, and the rubber layer on the top of the buffer plate 2 further buffers the impact force, all-round protection of the structural integrity and stability of the equipment and ensuring safe and controllable battery transportation.
