Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lithium battery recycling technology, specifically, it relates to a graphite separation device for lithium battery negative electrode sheets. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology and the upgrading of equipment, the performance of negative electrode graphite separation equipment has been significantly improved. Modern negative electrode graphite separation equipment features high efficiency, energy saving, and environmental protection. It can achieve efficient separation of graphite negative electrode materials and metallic copper, and has low energy consumption and a high degree of automation.

[0003] Existing technology discloses a graphite separation device for lithium battery negative electrode sheets (CN221508284U), including a frame. Inside the frame, from top to bottom, are arranged a cutting roller, an extrusion roller, a crushing roller, and a vibrating disc. The drive motors are all located outside the frame. After the lithium battery is cut, graphite flows out from the cut. With the gradual extrusion of the upper and lower extrusion rollers, most of the graphite powder is squeezed out and falls directly into the bottom graphite outlet. Simultaneously, the lithium battery casing is flattened, and the lithium battery entering the crushing mechanism consists only of the casing and a small amount of graphite powder. Compared to traditional direct crushing methods for lithium batteries, most of the graphite powder does not need to be crushed while encased in the casing, eliminating the problem of a large amount of graphite powder hardening and adhering to the inside of the casing after being compressed, resulting in higher initial crushing efficiency for the lithium battery.

[0004] The search revealed that existing technologies lack material filtration measures, which prevents the effective separation of substances of different particle sizes. This not only affects the separation efficiency of graphite powder but also its purity. Furthermore, the structure of the device cannot achieve the separate collection of metal powder and graphite powder, thus limiting its use.

[0005] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0027] Graphite separation equipment for lithium battery negative electrode sheets, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the assembly includes a housing 10, with a top plate 11 fixedly mounted on the top surface of the housing 10 by bolts, and a door 12 hinged to one side of the housing 10; a separation assembly, rotatably mounted at the bottom of the top plate 11, comprising a fixed gear ring 24, a support frame 26, a gear 27, and a magnetic plate 28, wherein the fixed gear ring 24 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the top plate 11, the support frame 26 is rotatably mounted inside the fixed gear ring 24, the gear 27 is fixedly mounted above the magnetic plate 28, and the gear 27 and the magnetic plate 28 are rotatably mounted on the upper and lower sides of the support frame 26, respectively; and a screening assembly, movably mounted inside the housing 10, comprising a screening box 17, a fixed frame 18, and a bottom plate 21, wherein the fixed frame 18 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the bottom plate 21, the screening box 17 is movably mounted inside the fixed frame 18, and the bottom plate 21 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 10.

[0028] Specifically, this device uses a separation component and a sieving component. The rotation formed by the gear 27 meshing with the fixed gear ring 24 drives the magnetic plate 28 to adsorb the metal powder in the receiving box 14. Then, the sieving component is used to sieve the graphite powder. In this way, larger, hard-to-break metal particles and smaller magnetic metal particles are sieved and left in the sieving box 17 or adsorbed by the magnetic plate 28, while smaller, non-magnetic graphite powder is separated out. This achieves effective separation of materials of different particle sizes, thereby ensuring the purity of the graphite powder and improving the separation efficiency of the device.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pulverizing box 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the top plate 11, and an electric pulverizing blade 16 is installed inside the pulverizing box 15. A retaining edge 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 10, and a receiving box 14 is placed between the top plate 11 and the retaining edge 13; Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a bottom groove 23 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the box 10. A high-speed motor 22 is fixedly installed in the bottom groove 23. The output end of the high-speed motor 22 is connected to the bottom surface of the bottom plate 21. An arc-shaped fixing frame 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the top surface of the bottom plate 21. The screening box 17 is snapped into the fixing frame 18.

[0030] Specifically, a blocking plate is provided at the bottom inner side of the housing 10. The blocking plate passes through the output end of the high-speed motor 22 and is located between the bottom plate 21 and the inner bottom surface of the housing 10. When in use, the material needs to be poured into the crushing box 15 first, and the electric crushing blade 16 is started. The electric crushing blade 16 rotates in the crushing box 15 to perform preliminary crushing of the material. The material after preliminary crushing enters the receiving box 14 and is separated by the internal separation component for magnetic separation. The bottom of the receiving box 14 has a round hole, and the bottom surface of the receiving box 14 is fixedly provided with an output pipe. The output pipe corresponds to the round hole, and the magnetically separated material reaches the screening component through the output pipe.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a constant-speed motor 25 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the top plate 11. The output end of the constant-speed motor 25 is connected to the top surface of the support frame 26. The support frame 26 is an L-shaped structure composed of a cylinder and a long plate. The cylinder rotates within a fixed gear ring 24, and a gear 27 is rotatably positioned between the long plate and the top plate 11. The gear 27 meshes with and drives the fixed gear ring 24. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the magnetic plate 28 is rotatably positioned below the long plate, and the magnetic plate 28 rotates within the receiving box 14; as Figure 2 As shown, six slots 19 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the inner wall of the fixing frame 18. Three positioning grooves 20 are evenly opened on the inner wall of the fixing frame 18. The positioning grooves 20 are between two slots 19. A protrusion corresponding to the shape of the slot 19 is provided on each side of the screening box 17. An arc plate corresponding to the shape of the positioning groove 20 is fixedly provided on one side of the screening box 17. The screening box 17 is engaged in the slot 19 by the protrusion and engaged in the positioning groove 20 by the arc plate. There are three screening boxes 17, and the screen hole specifications of the three screening boxes 17 are different.

[0032] Specifically, a short column is fixedly installed between gear 27 and magnetic plate 28. The short column rotates within one end of the square plate of support frame 26. In use, first turn on the uniform speed motor 25 and high speed motor 22 respectively. First, pour the material into the crushing box 15, then start the electric crushing blade 16. The electric crushing blade 16 performs preliminary crushing of the material, which then enters the receiving box 14. At this time, the uniform speed motor 25 drives the support frame 26 to rotate, the support frame 26 drives the short column, and the short column drives the gear 27 and magnetic plate 28 to rotate. The gear 27 rotates around the fixed gear ring 24 while simultaneously transmitting power. At this time, the gear 27 drives the magnetic plate 28 to rotate within the square plate. The rotating magnetic plate 28... Metal materials in the receiving box 14 are magnetically adsorbed. The bottom of the receiving box 14 has a round hole. As the magnetic plate 28 rotates, it pushes the materials that cannot be adsorbed into the output pipe. The materials pass through the output pipe to the uppermost screening box 17. The uppermost screening box 17 has the largest aperture, the middle screening box 17 has a medium aperture, and the lower screening box 17 has the smallest aperture. The materials are screened and filtered through the screening box 17. Finally, the smaller graphite powder falls onto the top surface of the blocking plate. After collecting the graphite powder on the blocking plate, the screening box 17 is removed and the above separation operation is repeated. Finally, the top plate 11 is removed and the metal powder on the magnetic plate 28 is removed for collection.

Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
