Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of housing module technology, specifically a disassembled housing module for the cascade utilization of waste lithium batteries. Background Technology
[0002] Throughout human evolution, a cyclical use of materials, where old and new are replaced, has always been a practice known as tiered utilization. In modern civilized society, with the rapid development of mechanical, electronic, and information technologies, the amount of waste materials and goods generated has also increased significantly. Products that many people consider garbage may be highly sought-after and useful items in other regions or by those who need them. Therefore, tiered utilization is a common call for low-carbon and environmentally friendly development worldwide.
[0003] Currently, when large lithium battery modules are retired and reused, their large size is inconvenient to use, requiring them to be disassembled into smaller modules. The current integrated side panels of these modules are a single piece, which is difficult to disassemble and prone to breakage, rendering them ineffective. The current end plates have thick reinforcing ribs, making disassembly difficult or even impossible. Therefore, a disassembled side plate and an easily disassembled end plate are needed.
[0004] In the prior art, for example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN212625831U discloses a tiered utilization split-type containment module, including one or more containment devices. The containment device includes a first side plate, a second side plate, a first end plate, and a second end plate. The first side plate, the first end plate, the second side plate, and the second end plate are connected end to end to form a containment space. Multiple containment devices are connected to each other in sequence by sharing a first end plate or a second end plate.
[0005] While the aforementioned device can be disassembled into multiple reusable modules, the large module is welded together from these smaller modules. Because the welded joints are strong, significant external force is required to separate them. This not only increases the difficulty of disassembly but may also damage other parts of the module. For example, forcibly disassembling the welded joints may deform or damage surrounding components, affecting the subsequent performance of the smaller modules. Therefore, we propose a disassembled housing module for the reusable use of waste lithium batteries to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related technologies.
[0007] Therefore, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] A detachable housing module for the cascade utilization of waste lithium batteries includes multiple battery modules. Each battery module has an assembly frame fitted around its outer ring wall for securing itself. The assembly frames are assembled together via a connecting component. The connecting component includes a first connecting seat and a second connecting seat. Multiple assembly seats are fixedly connected to the side of the first connecting seat closest to the second connecting seat. The first connecting seat has a through-hole limiting window on its surface. The second connecting seat has multiple matching assembly slots on its side closest to the first connecting seat. Installation chambers are formed on both sides of the inner cavity of each assembly slot. An arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of each installation chamber. A rotating cylinder is fitted inside the arc-shaped plate. A fixed roller is fitted inside the rotating cylinder. Both ends of the fixed roller are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation chamber. A torsion spring is fitted onto the surface of the fixed roller. A toggle plate is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating cylinder closest to the bottom of the assembly slot, and a moving plate is fixedly connected to the other side of the rotating cylinder.
[0009] Preferably, the outer ring wall of the plurality of assembly frames is fitted with two fixing frames, and the two end faces of the two fixing frames that are close to each other are welded together to form two weld seams.
[0010] Preferably, the tops of both the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat are fixedly connected to the assembly frame, and the plurality of the assembly seats are evenly distributed along the length direction of the first connecting seat.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting base is slidably connected to the wall of the mounting groove, and the mounting chambers on both sides are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the mounting groove.
[0012] Preferably, the rotating cylinder is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate, and both ends of the rotating cylinder are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting cavity.
[0013] Preferably, the fixed roller and the rotating cylinder axis coincide, the torsion spring is placed inside the rotating cylinder, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixed roller.
[0014] Preferably, the end of the moving plate away from the rotating cylinder is fixedly connected to a limiting seat that matches the limiting window, and the limiting seat is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting window.
[0015] Preferably, the end of the actuating plate away from the rotating cylinder extends into the assembly groove.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: the detachable housing module for the secondary utilization of waste lithium batteries of this utility model has significant advantages. During battery module connection, the mounting base moves towards the mounting slot. Initially, the actuating plate is positioned within the mounting slot under the force of the torsion spring. When the mounting base is fully inserted, it presses the actuating plate, causing it to be hidden within the mounting chamber. Because the actuating plate and the moving plate form a seesaw structure through the rotating cylinder, the moving plate protrudes, and its upper limit seat enters the limiting window of the mounting base to complete fixation. During disassembly, a certain force is applied to pull the mounting frame, causing the mounting base to detach from the mounting slot, and the limiting seat to slide out, thus separating the battery module.
[0017] The ingenious design of the connecting components eliminates the need for complex tools and cumbersome procedures when installing battery modules. Simply inserting the assembly base automatically secures the module, and disassembly is equally convenient, significantly improving installation and disassembly efficiency. This facilitates the reuse of large, retired lithium battery modules and allows for rapid reassembly of the battery modules. The assembly base slides into the assembly slot, and the limiting seat cooperates with the limiting window to ensure the stability of the connected battery module. It is not prone to loosening or displacement during normal use, ensuring operational reliability. Furthermore, the module accommodator can connect multiple battery modules according to actual needs, making it suitable for reuse projects of varying scales involving spent lithium batteries.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example: Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a disassembled housing module for the cascade utilization of waste lithium batteries, including multiple battery modules 1. Each battery module 1 has an assembly frame 101 fitted around its outer ring wall for fixing itself. Two fixing frames 2 are fitted around the outer ring wall of the multiple assembly frames 101. The fixing frames 2 are fixed by welding. The multiple assembly frames 101 are assembled together by a connecting component 3. The design of the connecting component 3 allows the battery module 1 to be automatically fixed without complicated tools and cumbersome operating procedures during installation. Simply insert the assembly base 303 into the assembly slot 305. During disassembly, only a certain force needs to be applied to pull the assembly frame 101 to separate the battery module 1, which greatly improves the efficiency of installation and disassembly. This convenient installation and disassembly method facilitates the cascade utilization of large waste lithium battery modules after their retirement, and allows for the rapid reorganization and reuse of the battery modules 1.
[0026] Specifically, the connecting component 3 includes a first connecting seat 301 and a second connecting seat 302. The tops of both the first connecting seat 301 and the second connecting seat 302 are fixedly connected to the assembly frame 101. A plurality of assembly seats 303 are fixedly connected to the side of the first connecting seat 301 near the second connecting seat 302. The plurality of assembly seats 303 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the first connecting seat 301. A limiting window 304 penetrating through itself is opened on the surface of the first connecting seat 301. A plurality of assembly grooves 305 matching the assembly seats 303 are opened on the side of the second connecting seat 302 near the first connecting seat 301. The assembly seats 303 are slidably connected to the groove walls of the assembly grooves 305. Installation chambers 306 are opened on both sides of the inner cavity of the assembly grooves 305. The two installation chambers 306 are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the assembly grooves 305. An arc-shaped plate 307 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the installation chamber 306. A rotating cylinder 308 is sleeved inside the arc-shaped plate 307. The rotating cylinder 308 and the arc-shaped plate The inner wall of 307 is slidably connected, and the two ends of the rotating cylinder 308 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting chamber 306. A fixed roller 309 is sleeved inside the rotating cylinder 308, and the axis of the fixed roller 309 coincides with that of the rotating cylinder 308. The two ends of the fixed roller 309 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting chamber 306. A torsion spring 310 is sleeved on the surface of the fixed roller 309. The torsion spring 310 is placed inside the rotating cylinder 308, and one end of the torsion spring 310 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 308, while the other end of the torsion spring 310 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting chamber 306. A fixed roller 309 is fixedly connected to the surface of a rotating cylinder 308. A toggle plate 311 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating cylinder 308 near the bottom of the assembly groove 305. The end of the toggle plate 311 away from the rotating cylinder 308 extends into the assembly groove 305. A moving plate 312 is fixedly connected to the other side of the rotating cylinder 308. A limiting seat 313 matching the limiting window 304 is fixedly connected to the end of the moving plate 312 away from the rotating cylinder 308. The limiting seat 313 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting window 304.In the initial stage, before the mounting base 303 contacts the bottom of the mounting groove 305, the actuating plate 311 on one side of the rotating cylinder 308 is positioned within the mounting groove 305 under the elastic force of the torsion spring 310. After the mounting base 303 is fully inserted, it presses against the actuating plate 311, causing the actuating plate 311 to be forced into the mounting chamber 306 and hidden. This allows the mounting base 303 to enter smoothly. Because the actuating plate 311 and the moving plate 312 form a seesaw structure through the rotating cylinder 308, the moving plate 312 also rotates around the rotating cylinder 308 when the actuating plate 311 moves. When the mounting base 303 is fully inserted into the mounting slot 305, the moving plate 312 protrudes from the mounting chamber 306. The moving plate 312 also rotates to a position close to the mounting base 303. The limiting seat 313 on the surface of the moving plate 312 enters the limiting window 304 of the mounting base 303 for fixation, completing the assembly. During disassembly, the user only needs to apply a certain force to pull the mounting frame 101, and the battery module 1 can be separated. The mounting base 303 can then detach from the mounting slot 305. The battery module 1 is easy to install and disassemble, facilitating the subsequent retirement of large waste lithium battery modules for secondary use.
[0027] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
