Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery recycling, and in particular to a square battery fine disassembly control system. Background Art

[0002] At present, there are two conventional recycling methods for retired power lithium batteries, namely:

[0003] 1) First, the complete battery is crushed by machinery, and then sorted. Since the battery is crushed as a whole, the battery aluminum shell accounts for a large proportion of the subsequent sorting materials, which has a great impact on the purity of the recycled powder;

[0004] 2) First, the aluminum shell of the battery is cut by a cutting machine, and then the core is separated and taken out. Then, the positive and negative electrode separators are manually separated, and finally the positive and negative electrodes are crushed separately. The biggest advantage of this treatment method is that the purity of the positive electrode powder is high, and the impurities of aluminum powder and copper powder are small. However, the biggest problem with manual disassembly is that toxic gases are generated during the disassembly process, which poses a great occupational hazard. Secondly, after cutting the shell, some companies generally dump the residual electrolyte into the sewer at will, and even pollute the groundwater source.

[0005] In view of the above situation, it is necessary to carry out intelligent control and recycling to recycle the precious metal resources contained in the battery. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a square battery fine disassembly control system to overcome the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art.

[0007] The utility model solves the above-mentioned technical problem with the following technical solution: a square battery fine disassembly control system, comprising: an automatic feeding module, an automatic cutting and separation module, a conveying module and a heating and cooling module arranged in sequence along the product flow direction, a temperature detection module for measuring temperature arranged in the heating and cooling module, the temperature detection module is electrically connected to the temperature control module, the temperature control module is electrically connected to the heating and cooling module, the automatic feeding module, the automatic cutting and separation module, the conveying module and the temperature control module are electrically connected to the logic control module respectively.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0009] The heating and cooling module first enters the preheating stage, and then the temperature detection module detects the temperature value in real time, and feeds the detected real-time temperature value back to the temperature control module, and finally the temperature control module adjusts the heating temperature of the heating and cooling module to ensure that the heating and cooling module is maintained at a constant predetermined temperature;

[0010] Then the automatic feeding module sends the battery to be disassembled into the automatic cutting and separation module. The automatic cutting and separation module first cuts the battery that arrives at the station, for example, cuts two or three sides of the battery, and then separates the core from the aluminum shell. The separated core is then sent to the heating and cooling module through the conveying module.

[0011] The heating and cooling module performs a constant temperature drying process on the core. After the drying process is completed, the heating and cooling module cools the core down, i.e. enters the cooling stage. When the temperature detection module detects that the temperature is lower than the set working lower limit temperature, the dried core can be taken out from the heating and cooling module.

[0012] After completing the above process, stop running and start disassembling the next batch of batteries;

[0013] Mechanical cutting and disassembly of the battery reduces manual involvement, thus preventing toxic gases from harming workers during the disassembly process. The core is then sent into the heating and cooling module through the conveying module, and the electrolyte remaining on the core is treated in a dry manner, eliminating the need to discharge the electrolyte, reducing pollution to the environment, and overall reducing the workload and difficulty of the workers, allowing safe production.

[0014] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0015] Furthermore, the tail gas outlet of the heating and cooling module is connected to the tail gas treatment module.

[0016] The above further beneficial effect is that during the drying process of the liquid-filled battery core, the tail gas treatment module is started to treat the waste generated by the drying process, so that the tail gas is controlled within the normal emission range to avoid direct emission and environmental pollution.

[0017] Furthermore, the logic control module is electrically connected to the position detection module.

[0018] The above further beneficial effects are: the position detection module is used to detect whether the battery has reached the workstation of the automatic cutting and separation module, and to detect whether the core has entered the heating and cooling module, and to detect whether there is a battery on the automatic loading module, thereby ensuring accurate disassembly.

[0019] Furthermore, the position detection module adopts a Hall sensor.

[0020] Furthermore, the temperature detection module adopts a temperature sensor.

[0021] Furthermore, the logic control module is electrically connected to the temperature alarm module.

[0022] A further beneficial effect of the above is that when the internal temperature of the heating and cooling module exceeds the set upper limit temperature of the working state, or exceeds the high control temperature, the heating will be stopped and an alarm will be given to remind people to manually check the problem point.

[0023] Furthermore, the temperature alarm module adopts an audible and visual alarm module. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
