Description

Technical Field

[0002] Solar photovoltaic panels primarily consist of glass, aluminum rims, silver, silicon, copper, rim conductors, backsheets, and PV panels. Precious metals silver and copper only account for 5% of the total. Existing techniques involve crushing photovoltaic panels into granules or powders for subsequent screening and recovery. This method has significant limitations. Due to the mixed composition of the crushed products, the purity of the recovered products is low, making them difficult to reuse. Furthermore, during the crushing process, the already separated glass granules are further pulverized into fine powders, which then mix with other material powders. This increases the difficulty of separation, reduces the purity of the recovered products, and increases energy consumption during the recycling process. Utility Model Content

[0026] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to extract silicon and silver, the raw material is subjected to an automated procedure to remove the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic panel, and then the glass is removed by a high-temperature blade. The mainboard is crushed into small pieces after passing through the primary crushing device 1 and enters the secondary crushing device 2 to crush the mainboard. After crushing, the silicon and silver are crushed into powder. The fan 209 draws the powdered silicon and silver into the discharge pipe 210, and enters the secondary sorting device 7 through the discharge pipe 210 to extract the silicon and silver.

[0027] See also Figure 2 As an implementation method of a solar photovoltaic panel crushing device for a screening system: copper, backboard, EVA and other materials in the mainboard are discharged through the first outlet 201 of the secondary crushing device 2, and copper, backboard and other materials enter the conveying pipe 4 from the feed port 41 on the conveying pipe 4.

After passing through the electrostatic separation device 12, the copper contained in the material is extracted and discharged from the copper outlet 121. There are two copper outlets 121, which are symmetrically distributed inside the electrostatic separation device 12. The copper outlets 121 are set as an inverted trapezoidal structure.

[0028] See also Figure 1 A fixed plate 203 is provided below the secondary crushing device 2. A first motor 204 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 203. The first motor 204 is connected to one end of a stirring shaft 206 via a transmission device 205. The end of the stirring shaft 206 connected to the transmission device 205 is also connected to a bearing seat 207.

The transmission device 205 can be configured as a belt, and the crushing assembly can be configured as stirring blades or blades.

[0029] In summary, when the overall equipment is in use or running: when the photovoltaic panels need to be crushed and screened, the aluminum frame of the photovoltaic panels is first removed through an automated program, and then 70% of the glass is removed by a high-temperature knife. Because the motherboard under the glass contains silver, silicon, copper and other substances, the combination of glass and motherboard is adhesive, so a high-temperature blade is used to peel off the motherboard.

[0030] When extracting silicon and silver from the motherboard, the motherboard is crushed into small pieces by a primary crushing device 1 and then enters a secondary crushing device 2. The transmission device 205 is driven to rotate by the first motor 204, which drives the stirring shaft 206 to rotate. The crushing components on the stirring shaft 206 crush the silicon, silver, copper, backboard, EVA, etc. in the motherboard. After crushing, the silicon and silver are crushed into powder, and the silicon and silver are discharged from the second outlet 202 of the secondary crushing device 2. Driven by the fan 209, they enter the secondary sorting device 7 through the discharge pipe 210. The pure silicon after sorting passes through the silicon sorting device 13 and enters the rear-end collector 14. The silicon-silver alloy is discharged from the sixth outlet 71 of the secondary sorting device 7.

[0031] When extracting copper from the main board, the copper, backboard, EVA and other materials on the main board in the secondary crushing device 2 are discharged through the first outlet 201 below the secondary crushing device 2 and driven by the second motor 208, and enter the conveying pipe 4 through the feed port 41 on the conveying pipe 4. Driven by the power device 3, they enter the screening device 5 through the first inlet 51. After screening, large pieces of EVA, backboard and other materials are discharged from the third outlet 52 and enter the ton bag 8 for storage. Copper mixed with small particles of glue and other materials enter the specific gravity screening device 6 through the fourth outlet 53 of the screening device 5 and the second inlet 61 of the specific gravity screening device 6. After screening, impurities other than copper are extracted for the second time. The extracted copper is discharged from the fifth outlet 62 of the specific gravity screening device 6 and enters the material raising pipe 9. Under the power of the material raising motor 10, it enters the hopper 11 from the ninth outlet 91, and then enters the electrostatic separation device 12 from the outlet of the hopper 11. The electrostatic separation device 12 extracts all the copper contained in the material, and the extracted copper flows out from the copper outlet 121.
