When the driving rod 231 moves to the right, the driving rod 231 drives the extrusion plate 232 to move to the right. The extrusion plate 232 moving to the right no longer squeezes the push plate 223. The elastic member 234 drives the push plate 223 and the sliding rod 221 to move upward. The sliding rod 221 drives the impact ball 222 to move upward. The impact ball 222 breaks away from the lithium iron phosphate electrode. The driving rod 231 sliding left and right drives the sliding rod 221 and the impact ball 222 through the extrusion plate 232 and the push plate 223 to continuously impact the lithium iron phosphate electrode on the conveyor belt 31, so that cracks are generated inside the powder on the outer wall of the electrode.
[0076] After the lithium iron phosphate electrode is sent into the recovery tank 1 by the conveying component 3, it will first fall on the inclined wall of the guide plate 18, and slide down again along the inclined wall to the top of the screen 5, and inject the cleaning solvent into the recovery tank 1 through the liquid inlet pipe 43, so that the cleaning solvent does not pass through the lithium iron phosphate electrode on the screen 5. The controller 13 starts the ultrasonic generator 42, and the ultrasonic generator 42 converts electrical energy into a high-frequency AC signal that matches the ultrasonic transducer 41. The ultrasonic transducer 41 converts the high-frequency AC signal into an ultrasonic wave and emits it. The ultrasonic wave uses the impact force generated by cavitation to peel off the powder on the outer wall of the lithium iron phosphate electrode. The peeled powder passes through the screen 5 and falls into the bottom of the recovery tank 1. The controller 13 starts the second driving member 103, and the second driving member 103 drives the stirring blade 102 to rotate through the rotating shaft 101. The rotating stirring blade 102 will drive the cleaning solvent to flow, and the flowing cleaning solvent will accelerate the peeling speed of the powder on the outer wall of the lithium iron phosphate electrode;
[0077] After the powder stripping is completed, the controller 13 starts the first driving member 9, which drives the reel 8 to rotate. The rotating reel 8 retracts the traction rope 7, which drives the screen 5 to move upward. The upward moving screen 5 lifts the electrode with the powder stripped from the cleaning solvent. The sealing cover 6 is removed, and the lithium iron phosphate electrode is taken out of the recovery tank 1. The liquid outlet pipe 44 is opened, and the cleaning solvent carries the stripped powder out of the liquid outlet pipe 44.
[0078] Reinstall the sealing cover 6 into the recovery tank 1. The first driving member 9 drives the reel 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. The reverse rotating reel 8 releases the traction rope 7. The traction rope 7 no longer pulls the screen 5. The screen 5 moves downward to its original position. The lithium iron phosphate electrode is fed onto the screen 5 again, and the above steps are repeated.
[0079] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
