Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waste cylindrical lithium battery processing, specifically to a self-unloading needle-punching discharge machine for processing cylindrical lithium batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Cylindrical lithium batteries are widely used in the battery industry and have high recycling value. Meanwhile, the recovery of metal resources from waste lithium batteries has received widespread attention. During the recycling process, cylindrical lithium batteries require discharge treatment, typically using a needle-punching method. This involves setting up needle-punching rollers and auxiliary rollers. The needle-punching rollers have needles that can puncture and discharge the lithium batteries passing between the two rollers. However, in existing needle-punching discharge machines, lithium batteries are easily carried away by the needle-punching rollers during discharge. Tools such as grates are usually needed for this purpose. The disadvantage of using grates is that they cannot effectively remove the carried-away lithium batteries and may even damage the grates or cause the needle-punching heads to tilt.

[0003] A patent publication number CN220189747U was found, entitled "A Needle Puncture Discharge Machine for Waste Lithium Batteries," which specifically discloses a needle punch discharge machine for waste lithium batteries. The machine includes a support frame with a fixed frame mounted on its upper end. A horizontally placed needle punch roller and driven roller are mounted on the fixed frame via bearings. A feeding hopper is connected to the support frame via a pin. The lower end of the feeding hopper is horizontal to the gap between the needle punch roller and driven roller, allowing material to be fed into the gap. A discharge hopper is located on the other side of the needle punch roller. A needle punch motor is connected to the needle punch roller to drive its rotation. A material blocking device is provided on the support frame for unloading the needle-punched lithium batteries.

[0004] Analysis of the aforementioned publicly available materials reveals that the lithium battery feeding device utilizes a baffle mounted on a support. The baffle is plate-shaped, with several spaced-apart teeth at its ends. The gaps between the teeth allow for clearance of the needle-piercing head. While this structure enables feeding, the contact between the needle-piercing head and the teeth with the lithium battery can easily damage the teeth and even cause the needle-piercing head to tilt.

[0022] A self-unloading needle-punching discharge machine for processing cylindrical lithium batteries includes a support 1, on which a needle-punching roller 6, an auxiliary roller 7, and a power box 4 are mounted. A power shaft 8 is mounted on the needle-punching roller 6 and the auxiliary roller 7, connecting them to the power box 4. A needle-punching head 14 is mounted on the needle-punching roller 6. The machine also includes a conveying mechanism, comprising a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the support 1, with spaced-apart pusher belts 3 on the conveyor belt 2. Finally, an unloading mechanism includes a fixing frame 9 mounted on the end face of the needle-punching roller 6, with a spring 10 connected to the fixing frame 9. The other end of the spring 10 is connected to an unloading frame 11, which has a clearance hole 12 fitted onto the needle-punching head 14.

[0023] In this embodiment, a motor is installed in the power box 4, which drives the needle-punching roller 6 to rotate via the power shaft 8. Simultaneously, the auxiliary roller 7 can also rotate via the motor. A conveyor belt 2 is installed on one side of the needle-punching roller 6 to transport the cylindrical lithium batteries. A pusher belt 3 is installed on the conveyor belt 2 to allow the lithium batteries to enter the needle-punching roller 6 laterally. A discharge mechanism is installed on the needle-punching roller 6. Specifically, the discharge mechanism includes a fixing frame 9, on which a spring 10 is installed. The spring 10 is connected to a discharge rack 11, which has clearance holes 12. By using the spring 10, the cylindrical lithium batteries can be ejected and discharged, preventing them from sticking to the needle-punching roller 6. Example

[0024] The pusher belt 3 is perpendicular to the material conveying direction. The pusher belt 3 has a raised strip structure and is set on the outer end face of the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 is inclined and its lower end is set on the outside of the gap between the needle roller 6 and the auxiliary roller 7. An inclined plate is provided between the lower end face of the conveyor belt 2 and the needle roller 6 for the cylindrical lithium battery to roll in.

[0025] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the pusher belt 3 can ensure that the lithium battery enters laterally, which improves the discharge efficiency of the lithium battery and can increase the number of pinholes on the lithium battery. Example

[0026] The fixing frame 9 is fixed on both ends of the needle roller 6, and the fixing frame 9 is for a row of needle heads 14.

[0027] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the fixing frame 9 is used to fix one end of the spring 10, and one fixing frame 9 corresponds to one row of needle heads 14. Example

[0028] A spring 10 is fixedly installed at the outer end of the fixed frame 9, and the other end of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the unloading frame 11. The unloading frame 11 is parallel to the axis of the needle roller 6 and has a plate-shaped structure.

[0029] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the other end of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the unloading rack 11, and one unloading rack 11 is used for a row of needle heads 14. Example

[0030] The clearance hole 12 is a circular hole structure, and the clearance hole 12 and the needle head 14 are coaxial. The needle head 14 is a conical structure.

[0031] Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the clearance hole 12 is a circular hole structure, and one clearance hole 12 corresponds to one needle head 14.

[0032] The working method (or working principle) of this utility model:

[0033] In operation, when the lithium battery is needled, a row of needle heads 14 with a discharge rack 11 needles the lithium battery. A needle seat 13 is provided between the needle head 14 and the needle roller 6 to fix the needle head 14. The needle head 14 and the needle seat 13 are threadedly connected, allowing the needle head 14 to be replaced. The lithium battery enters laterally below the needle head 14. After needled, the discharge rack 11 enters the needle head 14 along with the lithium battery. When the lithium battery leaves the position between the needle roller 6 and the auxiliary roller 7, the spring 10, which has elasticity, pushes the discharge rack 11 outward. The discharge rack 11 ejects the lithium battery stuck to the needle head 14. The ejected lithium battery falls onto the receiving hopper 5 and slides down, completing the unloading process.
