Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This patent relates to the field of waste battery recycling, specifically a waste battery recycling bin. Background Technology
[0002] Because batteries are low-value, high-consumption, and have no obvious hazards or direct environmental pollution, they often do not attract people's attention. After the batteries are depleted, people are used to discarding them casually. As a result, waste batteries enter the natural world and corrode the outer metal over time, causing harmful substances such as mercury to leak into the soil or water sources, causing great pollution to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to collect and recycle waste batteries.
[0003] However, the existing recycling bins are all trash can-style, and people put the used batteries directly into the recycling bins. However, some used batteries leak, and the leaked liquid is highly toxic. This means that when workers are packing the batteries in the recycling bins, they are easily contaminated with the toxic liquid leaked from the batteries, which can cause harm to the workers. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this patent is to provide a waste battery recycling bin.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this patent to solve its technical problem is: a waste battery recycling box, including a recycling box body, a cover installed on the upper wall of the recycling box body, and a feeding port opened in the middle of the upper wall of the cover;
[0006] The side wall of the recycling box is equipped with a grid, which divides the inner cavity of the recycling box into a storage cavity and an installation cavity. The side wall of the recycling box is provided with an installation groove, which is connected to the installation cavity. A liquid storage box is inserted into the installation groove and is located below the grid. An inlet funnel is inserted into the upper wall of the liquid storage box, and a filter screen is installed on the upper wall of the inlet funnel.
[0007] Furthermore, the side wall of the recycling bin is provided with a through groove, and a transparent glass is installed in the through groove. A sealing ring is fitted onto the outer side wall of the transparent glass, and the sealing ring is in close contact with the inner wall of the through groove.
[0008] Furthermore, a hinge is installed on one end of the inner side wall of the cover, and a baffle is installed on the other end of the hinge. The baffle can close the feeding port. A spring is installed on the upper wall of the baffle, and the other end of the spring is installed on the side wall of the feeding port.
[0009] Furthermore, a sealing gasket is fitted to the lower wall of the cover. The sealing gasket is annular and is located on the outside of the feeding port. The sealing gasket can fit against the upper wall of the baffle.
[0010] Furthermore, a drain pipe is inserted into the side wall of the liquid storage box, and the drain pipe is connected to the inner cavity of the liquid storage box. The outer side of the drain pipe away from the liquid storage box is provided with an external thread, and a sealing cap is installed on the outer side of the drain pipe by rotating the external thread.
[0011] Furthermore, support rods are installed at both ends of the left and right sides of the side wall of the recycling bin, and pull rods are installed on the side walls of the support rods. Universal wheels are installed at the four corners of the lower wall of the recycling bin.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this patent are:
[0013] This device has a liquid storage box inside its recycling bin, which can collect leaked electrolyte. When the batteries in the recycling bin are packaged, the liquid storage box is removed first and processed separately, thereby avoiding workers from being contaminated by the leaked toxic liquid and preventing harm to the workers.
[0014] In addition, this device can block external debris, leaves, etc. by setting a baffle on its cover to close the feeding port. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present patent is further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this patent, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to this patent, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0020] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this patent. A waste battery recycling box includes a recycling box body 1, a cover 2 installed on the upper wall of the recycling box body 1, and a feeding port 3 opened in the middle of the upper wall of the cover 2.
[0021] Waste batteries are put into the recycling box 1 through the feeding port 3. If the waste battery leaks, the leaked waste battery fluid will flow into the storage box 3 to store the waste battery fluid. This will prevent the waste battery fluid from coming into contact with the waste battery fluid when packing the waste batteries in the recycling box 1 later, thus preventing injury to the staff.
[0022] A grid 4 is installed on the side wall of the recycling box 1. The grid 4 divides the inner cavity of the recycling box 1 into a storage cavity 5 and an installation cavity 6. An installation groove 7 is opened on the side wall of the recycling box 1. The installation groove 7 is connected to the installation cavity 6. A liquid storage box 8 is inserted and installed in the installation groove 7. The liquid storage box 8 is located below the grid 4. An inlet funnel 9 is inserted and installed on the upper wall of the liquid storage box 8. A filter screen 10 is installed on the upper wall of the inlet funnel 9.
[0023] The waste batteries are stored in the storage chamber 5. The electrolyte leaked from the waste batteries will pass through the grid 4 and the filter screen 10 and enter the liquid storage box 8 in the installation chamber 6. The filter screen 10 can prevent the waste batteries from entering the liquid storage box 8.
[0024] The side wall of the recycling box 1 is provided with a through groove 11, and a transparent glass 12 is installed in the through groove 11. A sealing ring 13 is fitted on the outer side wall of the transparent glass 12, and the sealing ring 13 is in close contact with the inner wall of the through groove 11.
[0025] The transparent glass 12 allows staff to see the amount of waste batteries stored in the recycling bin 1 without opening the cover 2.
[0026] One end of a hinge 14 is installed on the inner side wall of the cover 2, and a baffle 15 is installed on the other end of the hinge 14. The baffle 15 can close the feeding port 3. One end of a spring 16 is installed on the upper wall of the baffle 15, and the other end of the spring 16 is installed on the side wall of the feeding port 3.
[0027] When people put the waste batteries into the feeding port 3, they need to press down the baffle 15 first, and then put the waste batteries into the recycling bin 1. Since this device is placed outdoors, the baffle 15 can block external leaves, debris and other objects from entering the recycling bin 1.
[0028] A sealing gasket 17 is fitted to the lower wall of the cover 2. The sealing gasket 17 is annular and is located on the outside of the feed port 3. The sealing gasket 17 can fit against the upper wall of the baffle 15.
[0029] The sealing gasket 17 can improve the sealing between the baffle 15 and the feed port 3.
[0030] A drain pipe 18 is inserted into the side wall of the liquid storage box 8. The drain pipe 18 is connected to the inner cavity of the liquid storage box 8. The outer side of the drain pipe 18 away from the liquid storage box 8 is provided with an external thread. A sealing cap 19 is installed on the outer side of the drain pipe 18 by rotating the external thread.
[0031] When recycling the waste batteries in the recycling box 1, the staff needs to first remove the liquid storage box 8 from the installation cavity 6, and then open the sealing cover 19 to pour the waste battery fluid in the liquid storage box 8 into the designated storage tank for subsequent harmless treatment.
[0032] Support rods 20 are installed on both the left and right ends of the side wall of the recycling bin 1. Pull rods 21 are installed on the side wall of the support rods 20. Casters 22 are installed at the four corners of the lower wall of the recycling bin 1.
[0033] When using this device, place it in a designated outdoor location. When people dispose of waste batteries, they first press down the baffle 15 and then put the waste battery into the recycling bin 1. If the waste battery leaks, the leaked battery fluid will flow into the storage box 3 for storage. This prevents the battery fluid from coming into contact with the waste battery fluid when packing the waste batteries in the recycling bin 1 later, thus preventing injury to the workers.
[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this patent is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this patent. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this patent is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this patent. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0035] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
