Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lithium battery recycling, and in particular relates to a recycling device for waste lithium battery slurry. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in mobile communications, laptops, electric bicycles, electric vehicles and other fields due to their high energy density, light weight, long service life, low self-discharge rate and no memory effect. The main parts of lithium-ion batteries are positive and negative electrodes. When making positive and negative electrode materials of lithium batteries, unqualified slurry produced due to incorrect ratios, and waste liquid produced by cleaning storage tanks, pipes or the ground will inevitably produce waste slurry, which not only wastes resources, but also easily causes environmental pollution if not handled properly. Therefore, in order to save costs and protect the environment, it is necessary to recycle waste slurry.

[0003] After searching, relevant technical solutions have appeared in the prior art, such as the Chinese patent with application number 202222238785.9, which discloses a battery positive electrode slurry solid-liquid separation device, which mainly includes an organism, a separation mechanism, and a feeding port. The separation mechanism includes a separation cylinder, a drive motor, a rotating shaft, etc. The separation mechanism is driven by the drive motor to transport the slurry to the interior of the separation room, squeeze the slurry residue through a small space, and finally make the waste liquid flow out from the lower outlet and the waste residue be discharged from the upper outlet.

[0004] However, in the above technical solution, the separation mechanism alone cannot complete the separation and recovery of the slurry. The larger solids or oversized solid particles in the waste are not processed.

A solid recovery box 7 is fixedly connected to the top end face of the equipment main body 1, and a liquid recovery box 8 is provided on the lower side of the equipment main body 1. The liquid recovery box 8 is located directly below the solid-liquid separation mechanism 5. A plurality of supporting piles 9 are fixedly connected to the bottom end face of the equipment main body 1. The bottom end face of the equipment main body 1 located at the solid crushing mechanism 4 is inclined toward the solid-liquid separation mechanism 5, and the No. 1 baffle 3 and the bottom end face of the equipment main body 1 are not connected to form a limiting hole.

[0022] By pouring the slurry from the feed inlet 6, the slurry passes through the cavity 2 and enters the crushing device 41 in the solid crushing mechanism 4. After continuous fixing treatment inside the crushing device 41 and the crushing device 42, the slurry slides to the bottom end surface of the solid crushing mechanism 4 through the rotation of the crushing roller, and enters the solid-liquid separation mechanism 5 through the inclined bottom end surface and the limiting hole. A large amount of waste liquid in the slurry flows into the liquid recovery tank 8 through the bottom discharge port of the solid-liquid separation mechanism 5. The solid-liquid separation mechanism 5 is started, and the slurry is transported to the inside of the separation room through the spiral blades, and the slurry residue is squeezed through the smaller space. The waste liquid is squeezed through the filter cloth on the outer wall, and the waste liquid is squeezed out and left downward in the liquid recovery tank 8.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the crushing device 41 includes a rotating rod 411 and a crushing knife 412, the crushing knife 412 is arranged around the outer side of the rotating rod 411, and a No. 1 motor 413 is arranged on the upper end surface of the equipment body 1, and the No. 1 motor 413 is located directly above the rotating rod 411, and the rotating rod 411 passes through the upper end surface of the equipment body 1 and is connected to the No. 1 motor 413. The crushing device 42 includes a No. 1 crushing roller 421 and a No. 2 crushing roller 422, both of which are located at the same height below the No. 2 baffle, and both ends of the No. 1 crushing roller 421 are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the equipment body 1, one end of the No. 2 crushing roller 422 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the equipment body 1, and the other end passes through the side wall of the equipment body 1 and is connected to the No. 2 motor 423.

The rotation of the rotating rod 411 drives the rotation of the crushing knife 412, and the rotation of the No. 2 crushing roller 422 drives the No. 1 crushing roller 421 to rotate, and the slurry is poured from the feed inlet 6. The slurry passes through the cavity 2 and enters the crushing device 41 in the solid crushing mechanism 4. Under the rotation of the crushing knife 412, the slurry is stirred by the crushing knife 412, and the larger solids in the slurry are broken by the crushing knife 412 and become smaller The particles, after being processed by the crushing device 41, fall onto the No. 2 baffle plate, slide to the discharge port, and enter the crushing device 42 through the discharge port. Under the rotation of the No. 1 crushing roller 421 and the No. 2 crushing roller 422, the slurry flows between the two crushing rollers, and the fine solids and debris inside the slurry are completely crushed and crushed, and then slide to the bottom end surface of the solid crushing mechanism 4 through the rotation of the crushing rollers.

[0025] Working principle: waste lithium battery slurry is recycled in the main body 1 of the equipment. First, the power of the No. 1 motor 413 and the No. 2 motor 423 is turned on, the bearing 414 drives the rod to rotate, and the No. 2 crushing roller 422 also rotates. The rotation of the rotating rod 411 drives the rotation of the crushing knife 412, and the rotation of the No. 2 crushing roller 422 drives the No. 1 crushing roller 421 to rotate, and the slurry is poured from the inlet 6. The slurry passes through the cavity 2 and enters the crushing device 41 in the solid crushing mechanism 4. Under the rotation of the crushing knife 412, the slurry is stirred by the crushing knife 412, and the larger solids in the slurry are broken by the crushing knife 412 and become smaller particles. After being processed by the crushing device 41, the slurry falls on the No. 2 baffle 43, slides to the discharge port 44, and enters the inside of the crushing device 42 through the discharge port. Under the rotation of the No. 1 crushing roller 421 and the No. 2 crushing roller 422, the slurry flows between the two crushing rollers. The fine solids and debris in the slurry are completely crushed and crushed, and then slide to the bottom end surface of the solid crushing mechanism 4 through the rotation of the crushing roller. The solids adhering to the surface of the crushing roller are brushed off by the cleaning brush 424 under the crushing roller, and fall to the bottom end surface of the solid crushing mechanism 4 together with the slurry. Through the inclined bottom end surface and the limiting hole, the slurry enters the solid-liquid separation mechanism 5. A large amount of waste liquid in the slurry flows into the liquid recovery tank 8 through the bottom discharge port of the solid-liquid separation mechanism 5.
