Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of waste battery recycling, in particular to a waste battery storage device. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the waste battery recycling industry, the safe storage of waste batteries mainly includes partition type and transfer type. The details are as follows:

[0003] The partition type fully isolates each waste battery to be stored. If a waste battery catches fire, it is allowed to burn violently. Except for the isolated area, other areas will not be affected by the fire;

[0004] The transfer type places the used batteries in a semi-enclosed space. If a used battery catches fire, the burned used batteries are transferred to a safe area manually or automatically to prevent the fire from spreading.

[0005] The above two methods can only preliminarily extinguish the fire of used batteries. The above transfer method is specifically to circulate within the factory, place the used batteries on pallets, and then transport them by forklift. Under such storage conditions, when used batteries catch fire, no matter whether the fire extinguishing agent is sprayed or the water is sprinkled, the used batteries cannot be placed in the fire extinguishing agent as a whole. The fire extinguishing agent only stays on the surface of the battery. The thermal runaway of the battery can reach a high temperature of more than 800 degrees, which will cause some materials inside the battery to decompose and produce oxygen. The water mist and fire extinguishing agent that only stay on the surface of the battery evaporate quickly, which not only cannot solve the fire, but also has the risk of fueling the fire, and cannot effectively solve the fire problem.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present application provides a waste battery storage device, which includes: a storage rack 10, a storage box 20, a fire hose 30 and a drain pipe 40. A storage cavity 11 is provided on the storage rack 10. The storage box 20 is arranged in the storage cavity 11 so as to be removable, and waste batteries are stored in the storage box 20. An overflow hole 21 is provided on the storage box 20. The fire hose 30 is arranged on the storage rack 10, and the outlet end of the fire hose 30 is located above the storage box 20 and communicated with the inside of the storage box 20. The drain pipe 40 is arranged on the storage rack 10, and the inlet end of the drain pipe 40 is located below the storage box 20 and communicated with the overflow hole 21.

[0035] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the used batteries are first stored in the storage box 20, and then the storage box 20 is placed in the storage cavity 11. When the used batteries catch fire, the fire water in the fire hose 30 will enter the storage box 20, and the fire water will overflow from the overflow hole 21 after submerging the used batteries, and the overflowed fire water will be discharged from the drain pipe 40. Among them, since the fire water can submerge the used batteries that have caught fire, the fire can be extinguished by immersion, effectively reducing the possibility of fire. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment can solve the problem that the transfer-type safe storage of used batteries in the related art cannot effectively solve the problem of fire.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are a plurality of storage cavities 11 , which are arranged at equal intervals, and there are a plurality of storage boxes 20 , one of the plurality of storage boxes 20 can be selectively placed in a storage cavity 11 .

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the waste battery storage device also includes an emergency water tank 51 and an emergency water pipe 52, and the emergency water tank 51 is connected to the fire water pipe 30 through the emergency water pipe 52. If the fire water in the fire water pipe 30 cannot completely control the fire, the emergency water in the emergency water tank 51 can be flowed into the fire water pipe 30 through the emergency water pipe 52, and such additional emergency water is continuously poured into the storage box 20 to continuously extinguish the fire, further reducing the possibility of fire. An emergency water pump 53 is also provided on the emergency water pipe 52. When the emergency water pump 53 is working, it can provide power to the emergency water in the emergency water pipe 52, so as to transfer the emergency water in the emergency water tank 51 to the fire water pipe 30 through the emergency water pipe 52. The setting of the emergency water tank 51 and the emergency water pipe 52 can avoid the problem of insufficient water volume and water pressure due to the long distance of the water source to the greatest extent.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in order to collect the fire water or emergency water overflowing from the overflow hole 21, the storage rack 10 is further provided with a drainage trough 12, which is located below the storage cavity 11 and communicates between the overflow hole 21 and the inlet end of the drain pipe 40. There are multiple drainage troughs 12, and the multiple drainage troughs 12 correspond to the multiple storage cavities 11 one by one.

[0039] The term "plurality" in this application refers to a number of at least two.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to enable the firefighting water or emergency water collected in the drainage trough 12 to quickly flow to the lowest point of the bottom wall of the drainage trough 12, the bottom wall of the drainage trough 12 is tilted upward, and a drainage hole connected to the inlet end of the drain pipe 40 is provided at the lowest point of the bottom wall of the drainage trough 12. In this way, the firefighting water or emergency water collected in the drainage trough 12 can flow to the drain pipe 40 quickly.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fire water or emergency water overflowing from the overflow hole 21 first flows into the storage cavity 11. In order for the fire water or emergency water to quickly flow from the storage cavity 11 into the drainage trough 12, a plurality of flow holes connected to the drainage trough 12 are provided on the cavity wall of the storage cavity 11, and the plurality of flow holes are arranged at intervals.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom wall of the storage box 20 is provided with an external pipe 22 connected to the interior of the storage box 20, a valve is provided on the external pipe 22, a first joint is provided on the drain pipe 40, and a second joint detachably connected to the first joint is provided at the outlet end of the external pipe 22. After the fire caused by the waste battery is completely extinguished, the storage box 20 is manually taken out of the storage cavity 11, the second joint is connected to the first joint, and after the valve is opened, the fire water or emergency water in the storage box 20 is discharged to the drain pipe 40 through the external pipe 22, and the fire water in the storage box 20 is smoothly drained.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the storage cavity 11 has a cavity opening connected to the outside of the storage rack 10, and the storage box 20 is arranged in the storage cavity 11 through the cavity opening so as to be removable and removable, and a blocking door 61 that can be opened and closed is arranged at the cavity opening. When the waste batteries in the storage cavity 11 catch fire due to mechanical damage, internal short circuit, etc., the blocking door 61 is closed, so that the blocking door 61 can prevent the fire from spreading outside the storage rack 10 and control the fire. The blocking door 61 is preferably a rolling door.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the waste battery storage device further includes an exhaust fan 71 and an exhaust pipe 72. The exhaust fan 71 is disposed in the storage cavity 11, and the exhaust pipe 72 is disposed on the storage rack 10. The inlet end of the exhaust pipe 72 is connected to the interior of the storage cavity 11. If the waste battery catches fire during storage in the storage cavity 11, the exhaust fan 71 can discharge the gas generated by the fire in the storage cavity 11 through the exhaust pipe 72 when it is working.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the waste battery storage device also includes a controller, a temperature sensor 62, a volatile organic compound detector 63 and an alarm 64. The temperature sensor 62, the volatile organic compound detector 63 and the alarm 64 are all connected to the controller. The controller and the alarm 64 are both arranged on the storage rack 10, and the temperature sensor 62 and the volatile organic compound detector 63 are both arranged in the storage cavity 11. During the storage process of the used batteries in the storage cavity 11, when the local temperature of the used batteries rises and a fire occurs due to mechanical damage, internal short circuit and other reasons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) leak, and the temperature sensor 62 and the volatile organic compound detector 63 detect abnormal signals and send them to the controller. The controller controls the alarm to sound an alarm, and the exhaust fan 71 is connected to the controller. The controller can control the exhaust fan 71 to work. When the alarm is activated, the exhaust fan 71 starts immediately, and the gas in the storage cavity 11 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 72. The exhaust pipe 72 is connected to the workshop exhaust gas treatment device, so that the gas discharged from the exhaust pipe 72 can be transported to the workshop exhaust gas treatment device for treatment, so as to prevent the gas generated by the waste fire from polluting the environment.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the top wall of the storage box 20 is provided with an opening, and a thermosensitive glass ball 31 is provided at the outlet of the fire water pipe 30 corresponding to the opening. Under normal temperature, the fire water pipe 30 is not controlled by the valve on it, and the thermosensitive glass ball 31 is stuck at the outlet of the fire water pipe 30 to ensure that the fire water in the fire water pipe 30 will not spray out. After the heated liquid is heated according to the required monitoring temperature, the internal expansion of the thermosensitive glass ball 31 squeezes the thermosensitive glass ball 31 and the fire water sprays out.

[0047] Specifically, after a used battery catches fire, as the temperature in the storage cavity 11 rises, the temperature of the heated liquid inside the thermosensitive glass ball 31 rises, and the interior of the thermosensitive glass ball 31 expands. When the preset temperature is reached, the thermosensitive glass ball 31 will be squeezed and broken, and the fire water in the fire water pipe 30 will flow out and flow into the storage box 20 to achieve the effect of extinguishing the fire.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the waste battery storage device also includes a pallet 80 for carrying the storage box 20, and the pallet 80 includes a bottom plate 81 and two side plates 82 connected to both sides of the bottom plate 81, each side plate 82 is provided with a through opening 83, and the distance between the through opening 83 and the bottom plate 81 is greater than the distance between the top surface of the storage box 20 and the bottom plate 81. The storage box 20 is provided with a socket 23 for easy plugging and matching with the fork arm of the forklift.

[0049] The used batteries are placed in the storage box 20 by workshop transportation equipment (such as a forklift), and then the storage box 20 is placed in the pallet 80. Since the distance between the through opening 83 and the bottom plate 81 is greater than the distance between the top surface of the storage box 20 and the bottom plate 81, the fork arm of the forklift can be inserted into the through opening 83, and the pallet 80 is forked, so that the pallet 80 can be used to transfer the storage box 20 to the storage cavity 11 of the storage rack 10. When the used batteries need to be transferred out of the warehouse, the pallet 80 is taken out of the storage cavity 11 and transported by the workshop transportation equipment.

[0050] Waste batteries include waste lithium batteries, waste lead-acid batteries or waste nickel-metal hydride batteries.

[0051] In this application, the application of waste battery storage equipment has the following technical effects:

[0052] 1) The arrangement of the storage box 20 and the pallet 80 facilitates the flexible and efficient storage and transportation of waste batteries, and finds a way to achieve both safe storage and flexible transportation.

[0053] 2) The provision of the temperature sensor 62 and the volatile organic compound detector 63 can effectively warn of potential safety risks of waste batteries, control risks in advance, and effectively reduce losses.

[0054] 3) Use the large amount of water from the fire hose 30 to spray firefighting, so as to achieve the effect of flooding and soaking, and effectively control the fire in the first place.

[0055] 4) Equipped with an exhaust pipe 72 and a drain pipe 40, after the waste battery catches fire, it will not cause pollution to the environment.

[0056] 5) The overall structure of the waste battery storage equipment is simple, practical and effective, does not require much space, is highly reproducible, and is conducive to large-scale replication and use in factories.

Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model; the directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contours of each component itself.

[0058] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure.
