Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental protection equipment technology, specifically a high-temperature anaerobic pyrolysis device for recycling and processing waste batteries. Background Technology
[0002] Used batteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium, manganese, and lead. When the surface of used batteries is corroded by sun and rain, the heavy metal components inside can seep into the soil and groundwater. If people eat crops grown in contaminated land or drink contaminated water, these toxic heavy metals will enter their bodies and slowly accumulate, posing a great threat to human health. The recycling and processing of used batteries involves heat treatment to extract the metals and other valuable substances, such as zinc, cadmium, and manganese, from the used batteries and then reuse them in production.
[0003] Most waste battery pyrolysis equipment directly puts the crushed waste batteries into the pyrolysis box and then uses an electric heater to heat it for a long time. During the heating process, a large amount of heat will be transferred to the outer wall of the pyrolysis box due to the principle of heat conduction. Therefore, it is necessary to heat the inside of the pyrolysis box for a longer time. The heating time is long and the energy consumption is high. The cost of waste battery pyrolysis is high and the environmental protection is poor. Moreover, the high temperature on the outer wall of the pyrolysis box is often dissipated to the outside, resulting in waste. The pyrolysis box is also often corroded due to the high temperature, which affects its service life.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a high-temperature anaerobic pyrolysis device for the recycling and processing of waste batteries to meet the requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0040] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the waste crushing unit includes a crushing box 2 with open top and bottom ends, installed above the melting conveyor cylinder 5; a hopper 201 installed on top of the crushing box 2; and a crushing assembly 3 installed inside the crushing box 2. The crushing assembly 3 consists of two sets of crushing rollers horizontally placed inside the crushing box 2, and a primary motor 4 installed above the box cover 801 that drives the two sets of crushing rollers to crush the waste batteries. The two sets of crushing rollers are a primary crushing roller 301 and a secondary crushing roller 302. The roller shaft of the primary crushing roller 301 extends out from the left side of the crushing box 2 and is fitted with a drive gear 3011. The secondary crushing roller 301... The roller shaft of the first crushing roller 301 extends out of the left side of the crushing box 2 and is fitted with a driven gear 3021. The driving gear 3011 meshes with the driven gear 3021. The roller shaft of the first crushing roller 301 extends out of the right side of the crushing box 2 and is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 4 via a coupling. A protective cover 303 is installed on the left side of the crushing box 2 to protect the driving gear 3011 or the driven gear 3021. The inner wall of the crushing box 2 is provided with convex teeth 304 that cooperate with the two sets of crushing rollers. With the cooperation of the convex teeth 304 and the two sets of crushing rollers, the waste batteries can be crushed into finer and more refined waste particles.
[0041] The bottom of the crushing bin 2 is equipped with a movable baffle 19 located below the two sets of crushing rollers. This movable baffle 19 is used to movably seal the lower opening of the crushing bin 2. The movable baffle 19 includes an upper baffle plate 1901 and a lower baffle plate 1902 that pass laterally through and extend into the crushing bin 2; a connecting plate 1903 connecting the left side of the bottom of the upper baffle plate 1901 and the left side of the top of the lower baffle plate 1902; and a cylinder 1904 installed on the left side of the crushing bin 2 to drive the upper baffle plate 1901 or the lower baffle plate 1902 to move left and right. The top view of the material plate 1902 is rectangular; the inner wall of the crushing bin 2 has an upper slot 202 and a lower slot 203 on the right side. The upper slot 202 allows the right side of the upper baffle plate 1901 to be inserted, and the lower slot 203 allows the right side of the lower baffle plate 1902 to be inserted. The left side of the crushing bin 2 has a first through hole 204 that is opposite to the upper slot 202. The upper baffle plate 1901 passes through the first through hole 204 laterally. The left side of the crushing bin 2 has a second through hole 205 that is opposite to the lower slot 203. The lower baffle plate 1902 passes through the second through hole 205 laterally.
[0042] The working principle of this waste crushing unit is as follows: The cylinder 1904 is pre-activated to block the lower opening of the crushing box 2 with the upper baffle 1901 and lower baffle 1902, after which the cylinder 1904 stops operating. When the first motor 4 runs, it drives the first crushing roller 301 to rotate clockwise. Under the meshing transmission principle of the driving gear 3011 and driven gear 3021, the second crushing roller 302 is driven to rotate counterclockwise. Thus, the first crushing roller 301 and the second crushing roller 302 achieve compression crushing of the waste batteries. The crushed battery waste is collected in… A conventional weighing sensor can be installed on the upper baffle plate 1901 during use. When the weighing sensor detects that the waste battery material has reached a certain weight, the cylinder 1904 is activated to pull the upper baffle plate 1901 and the lower baffle plate 1902 away from the lower opening of the waste bin 2, thereby opening the lower opening and allowing the waste battery material to fall freely into the melting conveyor cylinder 5. When there is no waste battery material on the upper baffle plate 1901, the cylinder 1904 drives the upper baffle plate 1901 and the lower baffle plate 1902 to block the lower opening and then stops the operation of the cylinder 1904.
[0043] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, both the melting conveyor cylinder 5 and the pyrolysis cylinder 10 are equipped with a spiral pushing mechanism. A second motor 6 is installed on the left side of the melting conveyor cylinder 5, which drives the spiral pushing mechanism inside the melting conveyor cylinder 5 to push the paste-like waste material into the pyrolysis cylinder 10. A second electric heater 7 is installed on the outer wall of the melting conveyor cylinder 5 to heat its inner cavity. An inlet 504 for battery waste is opened on the top left side of the melting conveyor cylinder 5, and an outlet 505 is opened on the bottom left side of the melting conveyor cylinder 5. The inner cavity of the feeding cylinder 503 communicates with the outlet 505. The outer wall of the pyrolysis cylinder 10 is equipped with a third electric heater 18 for heating its inner cavity. A third motor 11 is installed on the right side of the pyrolysis cylinder 10. The third motor 11 is used to drive the spiral pushing mechanism inside the pyrolysis cylinder 10 to push the solid residue to the waste collection unit. The spiral pushing mechanism consists of a main shaft 501 and spiral blades 502 that are spaced apart and continuously connected to the shaft of the main shaft 501. Under the drive of the second motor 6 or the third motor 11, the main shaft 501 drives the spiral blades 502 to rotate spirally, thereby generating a continuous pushing force to move the paste-like waste or the waste after pyrolysis.
[0044] When the melting and conveying unit is in use, the inside of the melting and conveying cylinder 5 is electrically heated by the second electric heater 7, so that the battery waste in the melting and conveying cylinder 5 is heated to a paste-like waste. The heated paste-like waste is then moved into the pyrolysis cylinder 10 by starting the second motor 6 to drive the spiral blade 502 to rotate. Then, the paste-like waste falling into the pyrolysis cylinder 10 is heated to the temperature required for the pyrolysis of battery waste by the third electric heater 18, so that the paste-like waste can be pyrolyzed.
[0045] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the heat-conducting bracket 9 includes a vertically aligned first heat-conducting plate 901 and a second heat-conducting plate 902, a connecting rod 903 horizontally connecting the bottom surfaces of the first heat-conducting plate 901 and the second heat-conducting plate 902, and a reinforcing plate 904 horizontally connecting the top surfaces of the first heat-conducting plate 901 and the second heat-conducting plate 902. The first heat-conducting plate 901 and the second heat-conducting plate 902 have a rectangular side view. Both the first heat-conducting plate 901 and the second heat-conducting plate 902 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the heat collection box 8 by fasteners such as screws and bolts. The first heat-conducting plate 901 has a first through hole 9011 on its left side for the right side of the melting conveying cylinder 5 to extend into. The outer wall of the melting conveying cylinder 5 is tightly attached to the wall of the first through hole 9011, and the second heat-conducting plate 902... A second through hole 9021 is provided on the right side of the hot plate 902, extending into the left side of the pyrolysis cylinder 10. The outer wall of the pyrolysis cylinder 10 is tightly attached to the wall of the second through hole 9021. Both the first heat-conducting plate 901 and the second heat-conducting plate 902 are made of, but not limited to, aluminum, copper, steel, or iron. It should be noted that a drain pipe 803 is installed on the bottom left side of the aforementioned heat collection box 8. The drain pipe 803 facilitates the drainage of water injected into the heat collection box 8. The inner bottom surface of the heat collection box 8 is an inclined surface sloping from right to left, with an inclination angle of 20-70 degrees. Preferably, the inclination angle of the inner bottom surface of the heat collection box 8 is 30 degrees, 45 degrees, or 60 degrees. An inclination angle of 30 degrees, 45 degrees, or 60 degrees allows the heat collection box 8 to... Water at the bottom of the inner chamber collects towards the discharge pipe 803, facilitating rapid drainage through the discharge pipe 803. An upper filter screen 16 is horizontally connected inside the heat collection box 8, positioned above the melting conveying cylinder 5. A lower filter screen 15 is horizontally connected inside the heat collection box 8, positioned below the pyrolysis cylinder 10. A cover 801 is detachably connected to the top of the heat collection box 8. The top of the cover 801 has an air vent 802 and a mounting hole 8011. An injection pipe 804 is installed in the mounting hole 8011 and extends vertically into the heat collection box 8. The injection pipe 804 can inject water into the heat collection box 8, and the water collected inside the heat collection box 8 is close to but not in contact with the lower filter screen 15. Heat conduction is achieved by openings on the mesh of the upper filter screen 16 or the lower filter screen 15. The plate passes through a vertical insertion port 1501. The upper filter screen 16 or the lower filter screen 15 has an insertion hole 1502 on the right side of the screen body for the injection pipe 804 to pass through. The waste heat recovery unit also includes a fan 13 installed in the lower left position of the heat collection box 8. The fan blades of the fan 13 are installed on the left side wall inside the heat collection box 8 and are located above the lower filter screen 15. The fan 13 is used to stir the heat inside the heat collection box 8 so that the waste heat collected by the heat collection box 8 flows and blows towards the outer wall of the melting conveying cylinder 5 or the pyrolysis cylinder 10. The filter screen of the upper filter screen 16 or the lower filter screen 15 is embedded with an activated carbon layer and a filter cotton layer to filter the heated water vapor, so that the heat is only transferred to the melting conveying cylinder 5 or the pyrolysis cylinder 10, preventing the melting conveying cylinder 5 or the pyrolysis cylinder 10 from being corroded by moisture.It should be noted that the left side of the solar collector 8 has a left through hole 806 for the melting conveying cylinder 5 to pass through laterally, and the right side of the solar collector 8 has a right through hole 807 for the thermal cracking cylinder 10 to pass through laterally. The front of the solar collector 8 has a viewing window 805, which allows the user to directly observe the water volume inside the solar collector 8 and the status of the heat-conducting support 9.
[0046] The waste heat recovery unit operates as follows: First, a certain amount of water is injected into the heat collection box 8 through the injection pipe 804, with the water surface below the lower filter screen 15. Then, based on the heat conduction principle of the first heat-conducting plate 901 and the second heat-conducting plate 902, the heat dissipated from the outer wall of the melting conveying cylinder 5 and the outer wall of the pyrolysis cylinder 10 is transferred into the water at the bottom of the heat collection box 8, heating the water. The water collects the waste heat dissipated from the outer wall of the melting conveying cylinder 5 and the pyrolysis cylinder 10 and stores it. The heat stored in the water is always dissipated inside the heat collection box 8, and the fan 13 causes the heat to accumulate in the heat collection box. The heat flow within the hot box 8 heats the melting conveyor cylinder 5 and the pyrolysis cylinder 10, thereby ensuring that the melting conveyor cylinder 5 maintains the melting temperature of the paste-like waste material during use, and that the pyrolysis cylinder 10 maintains the pyrolysis temperature during use. This prevents temperature changes inside the melting conveyor cylinder 5 and the pyrolysis cylinder 10 from affecting the pyrolysis effect of the battery waste during the pyrolysis process. This allows for sufficient pyrolysis of the battery waste, while also enabling waste heat recovery and utilization, energy conservation and environmental protection, and reduced energy consumption, thereby lowering the pyrolysis cost of the battery waste.

The bottom end of the condensation tank 1402 is connected to a waste gas outlet pipe 1401, which is connected to the right side of the top end of the pyrolysis cylinder 10; pyrolysis The waste gas generated after the paste-like waste in the pyrolysis cylinder 10 is pyrolyzed enters the condenser 1402, buffer tank 1403, water collection tank 1404 and collection hopper 1405 through the waste gas outlet pipe 1401. The waste gas is condensed by the condensation mechanism 14 and then collected by the water collection tank 1404. The waste residue after pyrolysis is introduced into the collection bin 12 through the discharge pipe 1201. During use, a valve can be added to the discharge pipe 1201 to control the waste residue after pyrolysis to fall into the collection bin 12 for collection.
