Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery recycling, in particular to a device for cleaning the shell of a waste lead-acid battery. Background Art

[0002] The recycling management of waste lead-acid batteries has gradually entered the orderly management stage. The public's environmental awareness has gradually increased, and the government has gradually paid attention to it. In combination with the characteristics of each country, relatively complete policies, regulations or standards have been formulated and implemented effectively. A relatively complete system has also been established in the specific waste battery recycling organization, and a virtuous "closed-loop" cycle has gradually formed between users, recyclers, lead recycling plants, and battery plants.

[0003] The amount of waste lead-acid batteries for cars and electric bicycles increases year by year, and the total amount is huge, which has a great impact on the environment. The existing battery shells are mostly made of plastic. In order to reduce the pollution to the environment, it is very necessary to carry out secondary processing and utilization. However, the existing battery processing method is to directly crush the battery and then sort the plastic shell for cleaning. In the recycled battery, due to the large amount of impurities left on the shell, when the battery is crushed, the impurities in the battery shell will also enter the battery crushed material, thus increasing the later screening process and cost. Therefore, it is very necessary to remove the impurities outside the battery shell before crushing the battery.

[0004] The patent document with application number CN202220044743.9 and titled "A device for cleaning the casing of used lead-acid batteries" discloses a device for cleaning battery casing fragments. The patent does not disclose a solution for removing impurities attached to the battery casing before the battery is crushed.

[0005] The document with application number CN201520818262.9 and titled "A Battery Shell Cleaning and Drying Device" discloses a device capable of cleaning the battery shell. The battery is transported by tracks and enters the cleaning box and drying box in turn. At the entrance of the cleaning box, the fixed clamps on both sides fix the battery, and the fixed clamps slide forward through the track to prevent the battery from deviating from its position under the action of the cleaning brush and failing to achieve the intended cleaning effect. In the cleaning box, the high-pressure nozzle supplies water through the water tank and sprays high-pressure water mist to the battery that needs to be cleaned. At the same time, the cleaning brush in the cleaning box rotates at the same time to clean the surface of the battery shell, so that the battery is cleaned during transportation. Afterwards, the battery passes through the partition, and the water-absorbing material on the partition can absorb part of the moisture on the surface of the battery shell, and then the battery enters the drying box for drying. However, this patent cannot rinse the bottom of the battery, and the battery cleaning is not thorough. Utility Model Content

[0043] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0044] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a waste lead-acid battery shell cleaning device includes a conveying component, the conveying component includes a frame 101, and a conveyor belt 1 is installed in the frame 101.

[0045] An inverted U-shaped fixing plate 2 is fixed on the frame 101, and the fixing plate 2 is a hollow structure. An inlet pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 2, and the inlet pipe 3 is connected to the inside of the fixing plate 2. A plurality of spray holes 201 are opened on the inner wall of the fixing plate 2, and the spray holes 201 are connected to the inside of the fixing plate 2. The cleaning liquid enters the inside of the fixing plate 2 from the inlet pipe 3 and then sprays out from the spray holes 201. After being sprayed out from the spray holes 201, the cleaning liquid rinses the surroundings and upper ends of the batteries on the conveyor belt 1.

[0046] An air-drying component is installed on the frame 101 on one side of the fixing plate 2 .

[0047] The air drying assembly includes an inverted U-shaped door frame 4, the lower end of which is fixed on the frame body 101, and a fan 5 is fixed on the lower end of the straight portion of the door frame 4. After the battery moves below the fan 5, the fan 5 blows air downward, thereby blowing away the excess cleaning liquid on the battery.

[0048] A bottom flushing device is connected to one end of the frame 101. The bottom flushing device includes a bracket 6 fixed to one end of the frame 101. In this embodiment, the bracket 6 is fixed to the tail end of the frame 101. A plurality of rollers 7 are rotatably connected in the bracket 6, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rollers 7. A branch pipe 8 is fixed in the bracket 6 between two adjacent rollers 7, and the branch pipe 8 is connected to the manifold 10, and the manifold 10 is connected to the inlet pipe 11.

The cleaning liquid enters the branch pipe 8 through the inlet pipe 11 and the manifold 10 and is sprayed out through the openings and the through hole 14.

[0049] Two insertion rods 12 are fixed at one end of the rotating sleeve 9, and the angle between the two insertion rods 12 in the circumferential direction of the rotating sleeve 9 is 90 degrees. One of the insertion rods 12 is located above the branch pipe 8, and a plurality of positioning sleeves 13 are fixed to the upper end of the branch pipe 8.

When the insertion rod 12 in the fixed sleeve 17 is withdrawn from the fixed sleeve 17, the rotating sleeve 9 is rotated 90 degrees. At this time, the through hole 14 is misaligned with the opening, the rotating sleeve 9 blocks the opening, and the other insertion rod 12 corresponds to the fixed sleeve 17, so that the rotating sleeve 9 is close to the fixed sleeve 17, so that the insertion rod 12 corresponding to the fixed sleeve 17 is inserted into the fixed sleeve 17.

After the battery moves into the fixed plate 2, the cleaning liquid sprayed from the spray hole 201 can wash the upper end and the surrounding of the battery. After the battery passes under the fan 5, the excess cleaning liquid on the battery is blown off.

[0052] The batteries that subsequently enter the conveyor belt 1 push the batteries previously on the conveyor belt 1 onto the roller 7, and the cleaning liquid sprayed from the openings and through holes 14 can rinse the lower ends of the batteries.

[0053] When flushing the bottom of the battery, the number of openings on the branch pipe 8 can be adjusted according to the specifications of the battery so that only the openings at the lower end of the battery are opened, thereby saving cleaning fluid during flushing the bottom of the battery.

[0054] Embodiment 2: Based on Embodiment 1, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a battery stabilizing assembly is provided at the upper end of the bottom flushing device.

A telescopic rod 18 is fixed in the fixing sleeve 17, and the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 18 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 16.

[0056] When washing the lower end of the battery, in order to prevent the high-pressure washing liquid from knocking down the battery, a limit plate 15 is provided so that the lower end of the limit plate 15 contacts the upper end of the battery during the movement of the battery on the roller 7, and the limit plate 15 can stabilize the battery.
