Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a battery waste treatment solution detection device, in particular to a pH detection device for high-temperature lithium battery material recovery solution. Background Art

[0002] PH analysis and detection is an important control parameter in the battery recycling process. The battery waste recycling process goes through several stages such as alkaline leaching, acid leaching and graphite removal, impurity removal, NMC precipitation and lithium ion recovery. During the leaching of black materials and the removal of impurities, the pH value change of the solution in the reactor should be detected. The battery waste treatment solution has complex working conditions such as high temperature (usually 80-90 degrees Celsius), high corrosion, and particulate matter. In the battery waste treatment process, black particles are always present, and some black particles are attached to the electrode. If the battery waste attached to the electrode cannot be cleaned off in time in the mixed solution, it will not only affect the measurement accuracy of the electrode, but also the working life of the electrode is extremely short under this condition, and the electrode needs to be replaced frequently; because the battery waste treatment solution is a high-temperature solution, the battery recycling process in the reactor needs to be stopped when the manual electrode is replaced, thereby reducing the recycling efficiency of the battery waste.

[0012] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0013] As shown in the accompanying drawings, a pH detection device for high-temperature lithium battery material recovery solution includes a pH value detection structure and a cleaning structure.

[0014] The pH value detection structure includes a pH value detection structure 2 installed on a six-axis manipulator 3. The six-axis manipulator can be an existing KUKA device. The six-axis manipulator 3 is installed on a base 5. The pH value detection structure 2 includes a cylinder fixed on a flange 2-1, and an electrode 2-3 is fixed on the telescopic rod 2-2 of the cylinder.

[0016] The cleaning structure 4 comprises a cylinder 4-1 mounted on a base 5, with a plurality of cleaning ports on the side wall of the cylinder 4-1 and a drain port 4-4 at the bottom of the cylinder 4-1. A water inlet 4-2 is fixed to the outer wall of the cylinder 4-1 via a spacer ring, and two water inlets 4-3 are opened on the side wall of the water inlet 4-2.

[0017] The working principle of this device is as follows:

[0018] When it is necessary to detect the pH value of the lithium battery waste treatment solution in the reactor 1, adjust the angle of the six-axis manipulator 3 so that the pH value detection structure 2 is inserted into the detection port of the reactor 1, and the telescopic rod 2-2 of the cylinder is extended so that the electrode 2-3 is inserted into the lithium battery waste treatment solution.

During the cleaning process, the sixth rotation axis of the six-axis manipulator 3 rotates one circle to clean some black particles attached to the surface of the electrode 2-3. After the cleaning is completed, the cleaning liquid is discharged through the drain port 4-4, waiting for the next pH value detection work.
