For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] refer to Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a waste battery classification and recycling device, including a cleaning bin 1 and a classification bin 6. The cleaning bin 1 and the classification bin 6 are both rectangular in shape. A loading port 2 is provided at the upper end of the cleaning bin 1 near the right side. The loading port 2 is wedge-shaped. A feeding ramp 3 is provided inside the cleaning bin 1. The feeding ramp 3 is arranged below the loading port 2. The feeding ramp 3 is fixed to a position near the top of the right side wall of the cleaning bin 1. The feeding ramp 3 is tilted downward from right to left. The end of the feeding ramp 3 is 55 cm away from the left side wall, and a gap is left to allow the batteries to fall down from the gap.
[0035] A discharge port 5 is provided near the bottom of the right side wall of the cleaning bin 1, and a drainage wedge 11 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning bin 1. The drainage wedge 11 is inclined downward from right to left, and the leftmost end is set at the bottom of the cleaning bin 1. A water outlet 12 is provided at the bottom of the left side wall of the cleaning bin 1. The drainage wedge 11 guides the cleaned sewage to the water outlet 12, so that the sewage flows out of the cleaning bin 1.
[0036] A cleaning mechanism 4 is provided inside the cleaning bin 1, and the cleaning mechanism 4 includes a water pump 41, a water pipe 42, a nozzle 43, and a cleaning roller 44. The water pump 41 is fixed at the upper end of the outer side of the classification bin 6 near the left side. One end of the water pipe 42 is connected to the water pump 41, and the other end is connected to the nozzle 43. The nozzle 43 is provided above the cleaning roller 44.
[0037] The cleaning roller 44 is arranged below the feed inclined plate 3. There are multiple cleaning rollers 44, which are arranged in sequence from the left wall to the right wall in the cleaning chamber 1, and the height is reduced in sequence, so that the battery rolls from the left to the right. A plurality of nozzles 43 are arranged above the cleaning roller 44. In this embodiment, 5 nozzles 43 are arranged in a row, and the height is also reduced in sequence from left to right. The 5 nozzles 43 flush the rolling batteries, which can clean the mud and other debris on the surface of the batteries, and the cleaning effect is better.
[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning roller 44 includes a roller body 441, a roller bearing 442 and a rubber 443. The two ends of the roller body 441 are movably connected to the two side walls of the cleaning chamber 1 through the roller bearings 442. The outer side of the circumference of the roller body 441 is provided with evenly distributed rubber 443. In this way, when the battery rolls on the cleaning roller 44, the rubber 443 further flushes the battery, making the battery cleaned more cleanly and without stains.
[0039] The water pump 41 supplies water to the nozzle 43 through the water pipe 42. The battery slides down along the cleaning roller 44, driving the cleaning roller 44 to rotate, and cooperates with the water flow sprayed by the nozzle 43 to clean the battery. When the battery moves on the cleaning roller 44, the evenly distributed rubber 443 arranged on the outer side of the circumference of the roller body 441 contacts the surface of the battery, and during the rotation of the roller body 441, the battery is flushed to make the cleaning more thorough.
[0040] The cleaning bin 1 and the classification bin 6 are arranged together in sequence. Both the cleaning bin 1 and the classification bin 6 are rectangular, but the discharge forms are different. The cleaning bin 1 is a rectangular vertical placement, while the classification bin 6 is a rectangular horizontal placement. The discharge port 5 of the cleaning bin 1 is just opposite to the feed port of the classification bin 6 (not shown in the figure). The rightmost side of the cleaning roller 44 falls just on the discharge port 5. The batteries are cleaned by the cleaning mechanism and enter the classification bin for classification. At this time, the classification effect will not be affected by stains on the surface of the battery. Clean batteries can be classified better and faster.
[0041] A pushing mechanism 8 is provided on the upper part of the classification bin 6, a classification plate 7 is provided in the middle, and a collecting mechanism 9 is provided at the lower part. The classification plate 7 is located just below the feed port. The cleaning roller 44 is connected to the classification plate 7 through a trapezoidal block. The trapezoidal block connects one end of the cleaning roller 44 and one end of the classification plate 7 at a downward angle, so that the batteries can roll onto the classification plate 7 very well.
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the classification plate 7 is provided with three classification slots 71 of different sizes, wherein the smallest classification slot 71 is the classification slot 71 for button batteries, the medium-sized classification slot 71 is the classification slot 71 for AA batteries, and the largest classification slot 71 is the classification slot 71 for AA batteries. According to the size of the batteries, the batteries fall into different classification slots 71 in turn to classify the batteries.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the pushing mechanism 8 includes a driving roller 81, a driven roller 82, a connecting belt 83, a bearing 84, a motor 85, and a push plate 86. The connecting belt 83 encircles the driving roller 81 and the driven roller 82. The driving roller 81 and the driven roller 82 are arranged at both ends of the connecting belt 83. Bearings 84 are provided at both ends of the driving roller 81 and the driven roller 82 and are installed on the two side walls of the classification bin 6. The connecting belt 83 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed push plates 86. The driving roller 81 is fixedly connected to the motor 85. The rotation of the motor 85 drives the driving roller 81 to rotate, and drives the driven roller 82 to rotate through the connecting belt 83. The push plate 86 rotates along with the connecting belt 83. The push plate 86 pushes the batteries forward along the classification plate 7, causing the batteries to fall into different classification slots 71.
[0044] like Figure 1-2As shown, the collection mechanism 9 includes a partition plate 91, a slide 92, a collection box 93, a handle 94, a closed door 95, and a shock-absorbing plate 96. The collection box 93 is provided with a handle 94, a slide 92 at the lower end, a shock-absorbing plate 96 inside, and a closed door 95 on the outside. A partition plate 91 is provided between the collection boxes 93. Batteries fall into the collection box 93 from different classification slots 71. The collection box 93 is equipped with a shock-absorbing plate 96 to mitigate the impact of the fall. When the collection box 93 is full of collected batteries, the closed door 95 is opened, and the collection box 93 is pulled out using the handle 94 and slide 92 to remove the sorted batteries. In this embodiment, four collection boxes 93 are provided. The last collection box 93 from left to right is used to collect batteries with other poor thicknesses and is used to collect waste.
[0045] When the utility model is in use, the collected waste batteries are poured into the feeding port 2, and the batteries slide down along the feed inclined plate 3 and fall onto the cleaning roller 44. At this time, the water pump 41 supplies water through the water pipe to the nozzle 43, and the batteries slide down along the cleaning roller 44, driving the cleaning roller 44 to rotate. The rubber on the surface of the cleaning roller 44 flushes the batteries, and the water flow sprayed by the nozzle 43 cooperates with the batteries to rinse the batteries, so that the batteries are cleaned thoroughly.
[0046] Then the batteries enter the classification bin 6 from the discharge port 5 and are classified according to size. The batteries first enter the classification plate 7 and are pushed forward by the pushing mechanism 8. After the batteries of different specifications pass through the classification slots 71, the small batteries first fall into the smallest classification slot 71 and are collected by the collection box 93 of the collection mechanism 9. The large batteries cannot fall into the smallest classification bin 71 and continue to move forward and are classified through other classification slots 71 and finally fall into the collection box 93. A shock-absorbing plate 96 is installed inside the collection box 93 to reduce the impact of falling. When the collection box 93 is full of collected batteries, the closed door 95 is opened, and the collection box 93 is pulled out by the handle 94 and the slide 92 to take out the classified batteries.
[0047] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some of the technical features thereof can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
