Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4The utility model provides a technical solution: an automated waste lithium battery discharge device, comprising a bracket 1 and a conveyor belt 2, a discharge assembly 3 is provided on the top surface of the bracket 1, a screening assembly 4 is provided between the bracket 1 and the conveyor belt 2, the discharge assembly 3 comprises a bottom plate 31 rotatably connected to the top surface of the bracket 1, a first support 32 and a second support 33 are fixed on the top surface of the bottom plate 31, a rotating bracket 310 is rotatably connected between the first support 32 and the second support 33, a roller 34 is fixed on the outside of the rotating bracket 310, and both ends of the roller 34 are straight. The diameter is smaller than the middle diameter. A hopper 35 is fixed to one side of the first support 32. A feed port 36 is provided on the outer side of the hopper 35. One end of the hopper 35 is connected to the interior of the drum 34. A first motor 37 is fixed to the other side of the first support 32. The output end of the first motor 37 passes through the interior of the first support 32 and is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the rotating bracket 310. Vertical rods 38 are fixed on both sides of the bottom plate 31. The upper end of the vertical rod 38 is rotatably connected to an electric push rod 39. The lower end of the electric push rod 39 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the bracket 1.
[0024] The conductive balls and batteries are placed together in the hopper 35 and transported to the drum 34 through the hopper 35. The first motor 37 drives the rotating bracket 310 and the drum 34 to rotate together, so that the batteries and the conductive balls are evenly mixed, so that the batteries and the conductive balls can fully contact each other, thereby releasing electricity. When the battery discharge is completed, the electric push rod 39 pushes the bottom plate 31 on the top surface of the bracket 1 to rotate through the vertical rod 38, and the bottom plate 31 drives the drum 34 to tilt, thereby pouring the batteries and the conductive balls onto the screening component 4. Through the above process, the problem of concentrated brine discharge, generating a large amount of heavy metal-contaminated water, and easily polluting the environment is solved.
[0025] Furthermore, the screening assembly 4 includes a screening plate 41, which is arranged in an inclined manner. Baffles 42 are fixed on both sides of the screening plate 41, and vibration motors 43 are fixed on the outer sides of the two baffles 42. Two connecting plates 44 are fixed on the opposite sides of the two baffles 42. Shock-absorbing springs 45 are fixed to the bottom surfaces of the two connecting plates 44, and support rods 46 are fixed to the lower ends of the shock-absorbing springs 45. A collection trough 47 is provided below the screening plate 41. The cross-section of the collection trough 47 is an inverted triangular structure. A feeding pipe 48 is fixed on the side of the collection trough 47 close to the discharge assembly 3. The upper end of the feeding pipe 48 corresponds to the position of the feed port 36. A second motor 49 is fixed on the side of the collection trough 47 away from the discharge assembly 3. The output end of the second motor 49 extends through the outer side of the collection trough 47 to the inner side and is coaxially fixed with an auger 410. One end of the auger 410 extends to the inside of the feeding pipe 48.
[0026] When the batteries and the conductive balls fall on the screening plate 41, the vibration is generated by the vibration motor 43, causing the screening plate 41 to vibrate. The batteries and the conductive balls on the screening plate 41 are vibrated and gradually move downward along the slope. In this process, the conductive balls fall into the collection trough 47 through the holes of the screening plate 41, and the batteries fall onto the conveyor belt 2 along the screening plate 41. The second motor 49 drives the auger 410 to rotate, and the auger 410 drives the conductive balls to move toward the feed pipe 48. Since one end of the auger 410 extends to the inside of the feed pipe 48, the conductive balls move upward along the feed pipe 48. The upper end of the feed pipe 48 corresponds to the position of the feed port 36. The conductive balls pass through the feed port 36 on the hopper 35 and return to the drum 34, thereby allowing the conductive balls to be recycled.
[0027] Specific usage and function of this embodiment: The utility model puts the conductive balls and batteries into the hopper 35 together, and transports them to the drum 34 through the hopper 35. The first motor 37 drives the rotating bracket 310 and the drum 34 to rotate together, so that the batteries and the conductive balls are evenly mixed, so that the batteries and the conductive balls can fully contact each other, thereby releasing electricity. When the battery discharge is completed, the electric push rod 39 pushes the bottom plate 31 on the top surface of the bracket 1 to rotate through the vertical rod 38, and the bottom plate 31 drives the drum 34 to tilt, thereby pouring the batteries and the conductive balls onto the screening component 4;
[0028] When the batteries and the conductive balls fall on the screening plate 41, the vibration is generated by the vibration motor 43, causing the screening plate 41 to vibrate. The batteries and the conductive balls on the screening plate 41 are vibrated and gradually move downward along the slope. In this process, the conductive balls fall into the collection trough 47 through the holes of the screening plate 41, and the batteries fall onto the conveyor belt 2 along the screening plate 41. The second motor 49 drives the auger 410 to rotate, and the auger 410 drives the conductive balls to move toward the feed pipe 48. Since one end of the auger 410 extends to the inside of the feed pipe 48, the conductive balls move upward along the feed pipe 48. The upper end of the feed pipe 48 corresponds to the position of the feed port 36. The conductive balls pass through the feed port 36 on the hopper 35 and return to the drum 34, thereby allowing the conductive balls to be recycled.
[0029] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this.
