[0031] The technical solution of the embodiment of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the "bottom of the groove of the ×× groove" refers to the surface of the inner surface of the groove of the ×× groove that is opposite to the notch of the ×× groove. The groove wall of the ×× groove refers to the surface of the inner surface of the groove of the ×× groove that is adjacent to the notch of the ×× groove. Secondly, in this embodiment, "electrode" is a general term for positive and negative electrodes. For example: an electrode is provided at ××, which means that a positive electrode and a negative electrode matching the positive electrode are provided at ××. In addition, in this embodiment, "electrical connection" can be understood as a direct electrical connection between one component and another component, and can also be understood as an electrical connection between one component and another component through an intermediate component such as a wire, a flexible circuit board, or a printed circuit board.

[0032] Based on the purpose of collecting and charging waste batteries, such as Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery charging device. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the battery charging device of this embodiment includes a charging cabinet 1 and a charging box 3.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the charging cabinet 1 of this embodiment is formed with a storage slot 2. Depending on the actual use purpose, the storage slot 2 can be provided with a single or multiple storage slots, which is not limited here. Among them, a first electrode is provided on the slot wall of the storage slot 2. A power supply component (not shown in the figure) is provided in the charging cabinet 1, and the power supply component is electrically connected to the first electrode.

[0034] Illustratively, the power supply assembly includes a power circuit board disposed within the charging cabinet 1 and a plug connected to the power circuit board, wherein the first electrode is electrically connected to the power circuit board. The plug can be stored in a retracted manner within the charging cabinet 1 and, during operation, pulled outward to connect to an external socket, thereby energizing the charging cabinet 1.

[0035] Continue to combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the charging box 3 is formed with a charging slot 4, which is used to accommodate batteries. Depending on the actual use purpose, the charging slot 4 can be provided with a single or multiple charging slots, which is not limited here. The slot wall of the charging slot 4 is provided with a second electrode 5 for charging the battery. When the recycled battery is placed in the charging slot 4, the battery electrode abuts against the second electrode 5. Figure 3 As shown, a third electrode 10 is provided on the outside of the charging box 3 , and the third electrode 10 is electrically connected to the second electrode 5 .

[0036] It should be noted that the charging box 3 of this embodiment can be used as a carrier for transporting batteries during battery recycling. For example, during the recycling process, the recycled batteries are placed one by one in the charging slot 4 of the charging box 3 and the charging box 3 is used to transport the batteries, thereby facilitating the recycling of discarded batteries.

[0037] Continue to combine Figure 1 As shown, when the battery charging device of this embodiment is in working state, the charging box 3 needs to be inserted into the storage slot 2 so that the third electrode 10 and the first electrode abut against each other, thereby electrically connecting the third electrode 10 and the first electrode to each other.

[0038] From the above, it can be understood that when a battery is placed in the charging slot 4 and the charging box 3 is inserted into the storage slot 2, the external power supply is connected to the battery through the power supply component, the first electrode, the third electrode 10, and the second electrode 5 in sequence to charge the battery.

[0039] It is understandable that in order to facilitate the insertion and removal of the charging box 3, when the battery charging device of this embodiment is in operation, after the charging box 3 is inserted into the storage slot 2, a portion of the charging box 3 may be located outside the storage slot 2. In other words, the charging box 3 may not be completely inserted into the storage slot 2. When the charging box 3 is removed, the portion of the charging box 3 located outside the storage slot 2 acts as a handle, making it easier to insert and remove the charging box 3.

[0040] In summary, the beneficial effect of the battery charging device of this embodiment is that the charging slot of the charging box is used to accommodate and charge waste batteries. Therefore, after the charging box is separated from the charging cabinet, it can be directly used for the collection of waste batteries. After the waste battery collection is completed, the charging box is plugged into the storage slot of the charging cabinet. Since the charging box is plugged into the storage slot, it is connected to the power supply component in the charging cabinet, so that the waste batteries contained in the charging slot can be charged. In this way, the battery charging device of this embodiment facilitates the collection and charging of waste batteries.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the charging box 3 includes a tray 6 and a cover 7 that is connected to the tray 6. The cover 7 is used to cover the charging slot 4 to protect the battery placed in the charging slot 4.

[0042] The cover plate 7 is detachably connected to the tray 6. In one embodiment, the tray 6 is provided with two opposing and parallel slots 8, with the charging slot 4 located between the two slots 8. The cover plate 7 slides into the slots 8 to cover the charging slot 4. In another embodiment, the tray 6 and the cover plate 7 are connected by a snap-fit mechanism to facilitate their connection and disconnection.

[0043] Depending on actual design requirements, the cover plate 7 and tray 6 can also be rotatably connected. In one alternative embodiment, one side of the cover plate 7 is hingedly connected to the side of the tray 6 where the charging slot 4 is formed, allowing the cover plate 7 to flip relative to the tray 6. In another alternative embodiment, a rotation axis is perpendicularly provided on the side of the tray 6 where the charging slot 4 is formed, and the cover plate 7 is rotatably connected to the tray 6 via this rotation axis.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, a handle 9 is provided on the side of the charging box 3 facing away from the bottom of the storage slot 2. After the handle 9 is provided, the charging box 3 of this embodiment has a suitcase structure and can be pulled and moved, further facilitating battery recycling.

[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0046] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design, a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
