Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery recycling technology, and in particular to a waste lithium battery residue recycling and soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and other products that rely on lithium batteries, the number of used lithium batteries is also constantly increasing. Effective lithium battery recycling not only helps reduce environmental pollution but also recovers valuable materials. The main components of lithium batteries include mercury, carbon, lead, iron, zinc, manganese, cadmium, and nickel. Recycling these materials can reduce the environmental impact of used lithium batteries and lower the demand for and pressure on raw materials mining.

[0003] Currently, waste lithium battery recycling generally involves chemical dissolution: the lithium battery is disassembled and crushed, then excess sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide are added to dissolve the metals into a metal ion solution. Finally, these metal ions are replaced with elemental metals and extracted. To improve solubility, the lithium battery residue and chemical agents need to react fully, a process that is time-consuming and thus affects the overall efficiency of waste lithium battery metal recycling. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a waste lithium battery residue recycling and soaking device, which can improve the dissolution reaction rate of lithium battery residue, shorten the time consumed in the dissolution process, and improve the overall efficiency of waste lithium battery metal recycling.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model discloses a waste lithium battery residue recycling and soaking device, which includes a housing;

[0007] A lid assembly is detachably mounted on the box body;

[0008] The drive assembly is housed within the enclosure;

[0009] The vibration component is detachably mounted inside the housing and connected to the drive component, and is capable of vibrating under the drive of the drive component.

[0010] Furthermore, the vibration assembly includes a drain basket with an extension portion extending to both sides from the top;

[0011] The connecting rods are configured to be vertically connected to the upper surface of the extension;

[0012] The protrusions are configured to be a plurality of equidistantly distributed on the lower surface of the extension;

[0013] A support plate, on which multiple connecting rods are slidably disposed along their own axial direction.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a return spring, which is sleeved on the connecting rod and has its two ends abutting against the extension and the support plate, respectively.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive component includes a slide rail;

[0016] The slider is slidably disposed in the slide rail;

[0017] The drive rod is threadedly engaged with the slider;

[0018] A drive motor is fixedly mounted at one end of the slide rail and connected to the drive rod;

[0019] The top of the slider is provided with a contact block, which abuts against the protrusion.

[0020] Furthermore, guide portions are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the slider, and the guide portions are engaged with the inner wall of the slide rail.

[0021] Furthermore, the drive components are configured as two sets symmetrically distributed about the housing.

[0022] Furthermore, the lid assembly includes a lid body;

[0023] A clamping block is located at the bottom of the cover and abuts against the support plate.

[0024] Furthermore, it also includes locking components, symmetrically arranged on the top of the housing, to fix the positions of the housing and the lid assembly.

[0025] Furthermore, a heating element is provided at the bottom of the enclosure.

[0026] Furthermore, a drain pipe is provided through the side wall of the box, and a solenoid valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0028] The waste lithium battery residue recycling and soaking device of this utility model, by setting up a box body and a box cover assembly, can form a sealed container for holding the soaking agent. By setting up a driving assembly, it can provide power for the vibration of the vibration assembly. By setting up the vibration assembly, it serves two purposes: firstly, it holds the waste lithium battery residue, and secondly, it vibrates under the drive of the driving assembly, thereby improving the reaction speed and completeness of the reaction between the waste lithium battery residue and the soaking agent in the vibration assembly, thus achieving the invention objective of improving the overall efficiency of waste lithium battery metal recycling.

[0029] Furthermore, the drain basket serves as a container for waste lithium battery residue, facilitating its removal and draining from the soaking solution after the reaction. A connecting rod slidably attaches the drain basket to the bottom of the support plate. A protrusion on the lower surface of the extension allows the drain basket to vibrate periodically in the vertical direction under the action of the drive mechanism, thereby improving the reaction speed and completeness of the waste lithium battery residue within the vibrating assembly with the soaking agent. The support plate provides support and limits the overall vibration assembly.

[0030] By fitting a compressed return spring onto the connecting rod, the vibration effect of the vibration assembly can be improved. When the drain basket slides vertically relative to the support plate, the return spring is further compressed, generating a greater elastic force, allowing the drain basket to quickly rebound and return to its original position.

[0031] Secondly, by configuring the drive assembly to drive the slider to slide relative to the slide rail, when the contact block abuts against the apex of the protrusion, the drain basket is lifted; when the contact block is between two adjacent protrusions, the drain basket falls. The contact block periodically repeats the above two states as the slider slides relative to the slide rail, thereby achieving periodic vibration of the drain basket in the vertical direction.

[0032] By setting guide parts on the slider to form a sliding engagement structure between the slider and the inner wall of the slide rail, the stability of the slider during sliding can be further improved.

[0033] By setting the drive components to two sets symmetrically distributed about the box, the drive components located on both sides of the box can simultaneously drive both sides of the drain basket to vibrate in the vertical direction, which further improves the vibration effect of the drain basket compared to the single-sided drive method.

[0034] Furthermore, by installing a locking device on the top of the box, the lid assembly fastened to the top of the box can be locked, preventing the lid from becoming misaligned with the box due to vibration or other reasons, and avoiding the possibility of liquid leakage.

[0035] By installing a heating tube at the bottom inside the chamber, the soaking solution can be heated, thereby further increasing the reaction rate and improving the efficiency of metal recycling from waste lithium battery residue.

[0036] By installing a drain pipe and a solenoid valve on the tank, the soaking solution inside the tank can be discharged to the outside of the tank through the drain pipe, which facilitates the operation process of dissolving and recycling metal residues from waste lithium batteries and achieves the goal of improving ease of use.

[0050] The following will refer to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0051] This embodiment relates to a waste lithium battery residue recycling and immersion device. By setting corresponding components in the waste lithium battery residue immersion container, the chemical reaction rate of immersion and dissolution is accelerated by means of heating, vibration and other methods, and the time consumed in the immersion process is shortened, thereby achieving the invention objective of improving the overall efficiency of waste lithium battery metal recycling.

[0052] In terms of overall structure, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The waste lithium battery residue recycling and soaking device of this embodiment includes a tank body 1, a cover assembly 2, a drive assembly 3, and a vibration assembly 4. The tank body 1 can be a rectangular open container. The cover is fitted onto the tank body 1, forming a sealed space for soaking the waste lithium battery residue. The cover assembly 2 is detachably mounted on the tank body 1 and can be closed or opened as needed. The drive assembly 3 is disposed inside the tank body 1, and the vibration assembly 4 is detachably mounted inside the tank body 1, serving as a container for the lithium battery residue. Driven by the drive assembly 3, the vibration assembly 4 vibrates, causing the waste lithium battery residue contained within it to vibrate accordingly.

[0053] As described above, by setting the box body 1 and the box cover assembly 2, a sealed container for holding the soaking agent can be formed. By setting the drive assembly 3, the vibration of the vibration assembly 4 can be powered. The vibration assembly 4 serves two purposes: firstly, it holds the waste lithium battery residue; secondly, it vibrates under the drive of the drive assembly 3, thereby improving the reaction speed and completeness of the reaction between the waste lithium battery residue in the vibration assembly 4 and the soaking agent, thus achieving the invention objective of improving the overall efficiency of waste lithium battery metal recycling.

[0054] Based on the above design concept, specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The vibration assembly 4 includes a drain basket 401, an extension 402, connecting rods 403, protrusions 404, and a support plate 405. The drain basket 401 can be a rectangular basket with an open top. Multiple drainage holes are provided on the drain basket 401. The drain basket 401 serves as a container for waste lithium battery residue; after the residue has fully reacted with the soaking agent, it is removed from the solution and drained. The top of the drain basket 401 extends symmetrically to both sides to form the extension 402. Multiple connecting rods 403 are vertically connected to the upper surface of the extension 402. The connecting rods 403 can be solid cylinders. The connecting rods 403 can be connected to the extension 402 by screwing or welding. Multiple protrusions 404 are fixedly provided on the lower surface of the extension 402. The protrusions 404 are hemispherical. The multiple protrusions 404 are equidistantly arranged along the length of the extension 402. The support plate 405 is connected to the top of multiple connecting rods 403, and the multiple support plates 405 are slidably arranged on the support plate 405 along their own axis.

[0055] By providing a drain basket 401, the waste lithium battery residue can be used as a container, and it is convenient to remove the residue from the soaking solution and drain it after the reaction is complete. The drain basket 401 can be slidably installed on the bottom of the support plate 405 by a connecting rod 403 slidably mounted on the support plate 405. A protrusion 404 is provided on the lower surface of the extension 402, allowing the drain basket 401 to vibrate periodically in the vertical direction under the action of the drive mechanism, thereby improving the reaction speed and completeness of the waste lithium battery residue contained in the vibration assembly 4 with the soaking agent.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 To improve the vibration effect of the vibration assembly 4, in this embodiment, a return spring 406 is sleeved on the connecting rod 403. The two ends of the return spring 406 abut against the lower surface of the support plate 405 and the upper surface of the extension 402, respectively.

[0057] By fitting a compressed return spring 406 onto the connecting rod 403, the vibration effect of the vibration assembly 4 can be improved. When the drain basket 401 slides relative to the support plate 405 in the vertical direction, the return spring 406 is further compressed and generates a greater elastic force, enabling the drain basket 401 to quickly rebound and reset.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In order to provide power for the vibration of the vibration component 4, in this embodiment, the drive component 3 includes a slide rail 301, a slider 302, a drive rod 303, and a drive motor 304. The slide rail 301 is located on the inner wall of the housing 1 near the top opening. The slider 302 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 301. The drive rod 303 is a screw. The drive rod 303 passes through the slider 302 and is threadedly engaged with the slider 302, driving relative sliding between the slider 302 and the slide rail 301 via the thread. The drive motor 304 is mounted at one end of the slide rail 301, and the power output end of the drive motor 304 is connected to the drive rod 303. A contact block 305 is provided on the top of the slider 302. The contact block 305 is hemispherical. The contact block 305 abuts against an arrangement of multiple protrusions 404.

[0059] By configuring the drive assembly 3 to drive the motor 304 to drive the slider 302 to slide relative to the slide rail 301, when the contact block 305 abuts against the apex of the protrusion 404, the drain basket 401 is lifted; when the contact block 305 is located between two adjacent protrusions 404, the drain basket 401 falls. The contact block 305 periodically repeats the above two states as the slider 302 slides relative to the slide rail 301, thereby achieving periodic vertical vibration of the drain basket 401.

[0060] Reference Figure 5 To further improve the posture stability of the slider 302 during sliding, guide portions 306 are provided on both sides of the slider 302. Grooves with the same cross-sectional shape as the guide portions 306 are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the slide rail 301. The guide portions 306 are engaged in the grooves on the inner wall of the slide rail 301.

[0061] By providing a guide portion 306 on the slider 302, a sliding engagement structure is formed between the slider 302 and the inner wall of the slide rail 301, which can further improve the stability of the slider 302 during the sliding process.

[0062] Reference Figure 4 In order to improve the vibration effect of the vibration component 4, in this embodiment, the drive component 3 is set as two sets symmetrically distributed about the housing 1.

[0063] By setting the drive components 3 into two sets symmetrically distributed about the housing 1, the drive components 3 located on both sides of the housing 1 can simultaneously drive both sides of the drain basket 401 to vibrate in the vertical direction, which further improves the vibration effect of the drain basket 401 compared to the single-sided drive method.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The box cover assembly 2 includes a cover body 201 and a clamping block 202. The clamping block 202 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the cover body 201. When the cover body 201 is fastened onto the box body 1, the clamping block 202 abuts against the support plate 405, thereby limiting and fixing the vibration assembly 4.

[0065] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 To improve the stability of the lid assembly 2 and the box body 1, a locking element 5 is installed on the box body 1 in this embodiment. The locking element 5 can be of various structural forms capable of locking. In this embodiment, the locking element 5 consists of a locking rod and a spring. The locking rod is slidably disposed in a square frame at the top of the box body 1. The two ends of the spring are connected to the square frame and the locking rod, respectively. Pulling the locking rod causes it to slide against the spring tension, a portion of the lid assembly 2 is inserted into the square frame, and then the locking rod is inserted into the lid assembly 2 under the spring tension to achieve locking. The locking elements 5 are arranged in two symmetrically distributed about the box body 1.

[0066] By setting a locking element 5 on the top of the box body 1, the box cover assembly 2 that is fastened to the top of the box body 1 can be locked, so as to prevent the box cover from being misaligned with the box body 1 due to vibration or other reasons, and to prevent the possibility of leakage of medicine.

[0067] Reference Figure 2 In order to further improve the reaction rate, a heating tube 6 is installed at the bottom inside the box 1 in this embodiment.

[0068] By installing a heating tube 6 at the bottom inside the box 1, the soaking solution can be heated, thereby further increasing the reaction rate and improving the efficiency of metal recycling from waste lithium battery residue.

The two ends of the drain pipe 7 connect the inner and outer sides of the housing 1, and the solenoid valve 8 installed on the drain pipe 7 is used to control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 7.

[0070] By installing a drain pipe 7 and a solenoid valve 8 on the tank 1, the soaking solution inside the tank 1 can be discharged to the outside of the tank 1 through the drain pipe 7, which facilitates the operation process of dissolving and recycling metal residues from waste lithium batteries and achieves the goal of improving ease of use.
