Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery processing technology, specifically to a drying device for waste batteries. Background Technology
[0002] Waste battery disposal typically involves strict environmental procedures, with drying being one step. Drying helps remove moisture from the batteries, making them easier to process later. During the drying process, temperature and time must be carefully controlled to prevent explosions or other safety issues. Currently, high-temperature hot air is commonly used to evaporate or volatilize the moisture or electrolyte solution inside the batteries, thus drying them. However, existing drying equipment often causes batteries to pile up, reducing the drying efficiency. Furthermore, existing equipment is usually not easily disassembled, making cleaning difficult. Utility Model Content

[0005] The box has an opening on one side wall and a switch plate that can close the opening is hinged at the opening. The box has a partition that divides its interior into upper and lower cavities. The partition has a drain hole that connects the upper and lower cavities. The side wall of the box has a ventilation groove.
[0006] A heating element, wherein the heating element is disposed in the cavity located above the housing;
[0007] A placement assembly, which is mounted on the housing, includes a motor located on the top surface of the housing and a battery placement part that is drively connected to the motor and rotatably disposed in the upper cavity of the housing;
[0008] A tooth-shifting mechanism is installed on the inner wall of the housing and is configured to cooperate with the battery placement section.
[0009] A recycling bin is slidably disposed in the box body and located in the lower cavity. The top surface of the recycling bin is provided with an opening for collecting water flowing out of the drain hole.
[0010] Preferably, the heating section includes a mounting plate disposed on the partition, a fan is mounted on the mounting plate, a heating cavity is formed between the mounting plate and the housing, and a heating element is installed on the inner wall of the housing and in the heating cavity.
[0011] Preferably, the switch plate is provided with a transparent observation window.
[0012] Preferably, the battery placement section includes a rotating rod that is driven and connected to the motor, and a plurality of placement components are detachably connected to the rotating rod.
[0013] Preferably, the tooth-shifting mechanism includes a threaded hole formed on the inner wall of the housing and a connecting rod threadedly connected to the threaded hole, wherein a plurality of teeth are threadedly connected to the connecting rod and arranged in an axial direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the connecting rod.
[0014] Preferably, the placement component includes two snap-fit plates that snap onto the side wall of the rotating rod. Each snap-fit plate is provided with a semi-circular placement plate. The snap-fit plates and the rotating rod are provided with interconnected through holes, and bolts and nuts are provided in the through holes to connect the snap-fit plates and the rotating rod as a whole. The placement plate is provided with several through slots.
[0015] With the above structure, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] This application, by incorporating a heating element and ventilation slots, enables the device to create an effective heating and ventilation environment within the chamber, thereby accelerating the drying speed of used batteries and improving the drying effect. The toothed mechanism allows the used batteries to rotate or flip during the drying process, ensuring uniform heating of the battery surface and improving drying quality. The chamber is divided into upper and lower chambers by partitions and drainage holes. The upper chamber is used for drying the batteries, while the lower chamber receives water flowing from the drainage holes via a recycling bin. This prevents liquid seeping from the batteries during drying from corroding or damaging the equipment, and also facilitates the collection and treatment of this liquid. The placement components and toothed mechanism are all detachable, facilitating disassembly and cleaning.
