[0020] The bottom of the inclined platform 5 is connected to a filter bracket 10 through a spring tube 9, and a filter 11 is inserted into the filter bracket 10. A vibration motor 12 is fixedly installed inside the inclined platform 5, and the motor vibration shaft of the vibration motor 12 is fixed to the filter bracket 10;

[0021] A box discharge port 13 is provided on the bottom inclined surface of the box body 1, and a first reaction liquid feeding port 14 is installed on the left and right outer surfaces of the box body 1. The outlet end of the material pipe of the first reaction liquid feeding port 14 is located at the top of the inclined surface of the inclined platform 5 inside the box body 1.

[0022] The bottom of the box body 1 is supported by a support frame 15, and a second reaction liquid filling container 16 is fixed on one side of the edge of the support frame 15. The bottom end of the second reaction liquid filling container 16 is connected to the reaction box 17. The box body discharge port 13 and the reaction box 17 are connected. A gauze 18 is built into the interior of the reaction box 17, and a water outlet 19 is provided at the bottom of the reaction box 17.

[0023] A piston cover 20 is inserted into the feeding port 2, and an activated carbon adsorption column 21 is provided at the bottom end of the piston cover 20. The piston cover 20 and the feeding port 2 are embedded in each other, and the activated carbon adsorption column 21 is sleeved on the shaft at the bottom of the piston cover 20. The activated carbon adsorption column 21 and the piston cover 20 are detachably assembled, which makes it convenient to remove the piston cover 20 from the feeding port 2 and quickly replace the new activated carbon adsorption column 21.

[0024] The first reaction liquid feeding port 14 is connected to the nitric acid reaction liquid, and the second reaction liquid filling container 16 is filled with sodium hydroxide solution, which is used to perform chemical reaction treatment on the crushed waste lithium batteries, thereby increasing the reaction rate of the waste gas of the waste lithium batteries and facilitating the fly-off during the recovery process to pass through the activated carbon adsorption column 21 at the bottom of the piston cover 20 for adsorption and filtration.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] In this solution, the front of the box body 1 is also provided with a double-door box door, which is used to pull out the filter 11 from the filter bracket 10 after the box door is opened.

[0027] In this scheme, when recycling lithium batteries, the piston cover 20 is first taken out upward from the feeding port 2, and the waste lithium batteries are put into the box body 1 from the feeding port 2. The waste lithium batteries fall through the box body 1, and the two first drive motors 4 drive the corresponding crushing rollers 3 to rotate in opposite directions to crush the waste lithium batteries. At the same time, nitric acid solution is added from the first reaction liquid feeding port 14, and slides onto the surface of the inclined platform 5. The second drive motor 6 works to drive the three fan blades 7 to rotate at a uniform speed on the surface of the inclined platform 5. The nitric acid solution and the crushed lithium battery waste are mixed and slide from the multiple flow channels 8 at the edge of the inclined platform 5 to the filter screen 11 at the bottom;

[0028] The vibration motor 12 drives the filter bracket 10 to vibrate at the bottom of the inclined platform 5, so that the lithium battery crushed materials on the filter 11 are more uniform. The nitric acid solution reacts with the lithium battery crushed materials to separate the metals in the waste lithium battery materials. The metals are on the filter 11, and the nitric acid solution falls from the filter 11 to the bottom surface of the box 1 and enters the reaction box 17 through the box outlet 13.

[0029] Sodium hydroxide solution is added from the second reaction liquid filling container 16. The sodium hydroxide solution reacts with the nitric acid solution in the reaction box 17 to produce water and salt. The salt precipitates on the gauze 18, while the water is discharged from the water outlet 19 at the bottom of the reaction box 17. The connecting pipe between the second reaction liquid filling container 16 and the box discharge port 13 is embedded and plugged into the box discharge port 13. It is used to remove the second reaction liquid filling container 16 and clean the salt in the reaction box 17. The second reaction liquid filling container 16 and the reaction box 17 are an integrated structure.

[0030] The waste gas generated by the waste lithium batteries during the crushing process by the crushing roller 3 and the harmful gases generated by the reaction of the lithium battery crushed materials with the nitric acid solution are discharged upward from the channel between the two inclined platforms 5 and are purified by the activated carbon adsorption column 21 at the bottom of the piston cover 20 embedded in the feeding port 2. In this solution, the piston cover 20 and the feeding port 2 are embedded in each other, which makes it convenient to replace the activated carbon adsorption column 21 after removing the piston cover 20.

[0031] The first reaction liquid feeding port 14 can be covered with a cover, which is used to prevent harmful gases from being discharged from the inside of the box 1 along the first reaction liquid feeding port 14 after the corresponding reaction liquid is added.

[0032] After the above-mentioned crushing of the waste lithium batteries and purification of the exhaust gas, the metal in the lithium battery material remaining on the filter 11 can be removed by opening the double doors on the outer surface of the box 1 and pulling the filter 11 outward from the filter bracket 10, which is convenient for quickly disassembling the filter 11 and cleaning the metal objects of the waste lithium batteries remaining on the filter 11.

[0033] After the above steps, the recycling of waste lithium batteries and the purification of waste gas are completed.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
