Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery recycling technology, and in particular to a square battery casing breaking device. Background Technology

[0002] A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It is widely used in various electronic devices, vehicles and energy storage systems. Recycling and disposing of waste or substandard batteries can avoid the waste of heavy metal resources such as cobalt, nickel and manganese. The recycling of waste batteries first requires pre-treatment by breaking open the casing of the waste batteries to separate the battery casing from the battery cell, so as to more effectively recycle and reuse the batteries.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN219106262U discloses a pre-treatment device for recycling waste lithium batteries. This device breaks down the battery casing by rotating a saw blade. However, the rotating saw blade generates a large amount of dust and may cause battery leakage, posing a significant safety hazard. Therefore, we propose a square battery casing breaking device to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a square battery casing breaking device with high safety.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a square battery casing breaking device, including a feeding rack, a support column and a feeding hopper installed on the feeding rack, a feeding component installed inside the feeding rack, multiple blocks installed on the feeding component, and a discharge channel connected to the other side of the feeding rack. Anti-deviation components are installed on both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the feeding rack, a heating component is installed between two of the anti-deviation components, and a cutter is installed on the heating component.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the square batteries to be processed are fed into the feeding rack through the feeding hopper and fall onto the feeding component. When the feeding component is activated, the falling square batteries are separated by the baffles. When the feeding component delivers the square batteries to the anti-deviation component, the heating component heats the battery shell to soften the plastic. Then the feeding component continues to move the square batteries, so that the square batteries come into contact with the cutter, realizing the shell breaking of the square batteries. No dust is generated in the whole process, and there is no battery leakage, which is safer.

[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the feeding assembly includes two rotating wheels rotatably connected to the inner side of the feeding frame, a belt connecting the two rotating wheels, and a drive motor mounted on the feeding frame to drive one of the rotating wheels to rotate.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor starts and drives one of the rotating wheels to rotate. When one of the rotating wheels rotates, it drives the other rotating wheel to rotate through the belt, so that the belt rotates as a whole and transports the falling square battery.

[0009] A further feature of this invention is that the stops are installed on the outside of the belt and are distributed at equal intervals.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the square batteries are separated one by one by the blocks after falling on the belt, which facilitates the continuous breaking of the square batteries.

[0011] A further feature of this invention is that the anti-deviation component includes a cylinder mounted on the feed rack and a baffle connected to the output end of the cylinder.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, after the belt delivers the square battery to the heating component for heating, when the cutter breaks the square battery's casing, the cylinder is activated, causing the baffles on the front and rear sides to press tightly against the front and rear sides of the square battery, preventing the square battery from shifting during the casing breaking process.

[0013] A further feature of this invention is that the heating assembly includes a heating tube 1 installed on one of the baffles, a heating tube 2 installed on the other baffle, a plurality of hot air outlets formed on the heating tube 1 and the heating tube 2, a hot air blower installed on the feeding rack, and a ventilation pipe connecting the hot air blower and the heating tube 1.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the end of the heating tube one near the heating tube two is open and extends into the interior of the heating tube two, where it is slidably connected to its inner wall; and the ventilation tube is a flexible hose.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the cutter is mounted on the outside of the second heating tube.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the hot air blower is started and hot air is sent to the interior of heating tube one and heating tube two through the ventilation pipe. Then, the hot air is blown onto the square battery through the hot air outlet, which softens the battery shell. Then, the belt continues to move the square battery, so that the square battery comes into contact with the cutter, realizing the shell breaking of the square battery. No dust is generated in the whole process and no battery leakage will occur, making it safer.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylinder starts and drives the baffle to limit the square batteries of different sizes. The heating tube one slides inside the heating tube two. While limiting the square batteries of different sizes, it also achieves the purpose of softening the shell of the square batteries of different sizes.

[0018] A further feature of this invention is that the cutter is mounted on the second heating tube via a connecting assembly.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the cutter and the belt can be changed, making it easier to break open battery casings of different thicknesses, thus increasing applicability.

[0020] A further feature of this invention is that the connecting assembly includes a guide frame mounted on the second heating tube, a plurality of threaded holes formed on the guide frame, and a bolt threaded into one of the threaded holes.

[0021] A further feature of this invention is that the cutter is movably connected to the inner side of the guide frame, and the cutter has a through hole adapted to the bolt.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the cutter is movably connected to the guide frame. The bolt passes through the through hole on the cutter and is threaded to the threaded holes at different positions on the guide frame, thereby changing the distance between the cutter and the belt. This makes it easier to break open battery casings of different thicknesses, and the applicability is higher.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0024] 1. The square batteries to be processed are fed into the feeding rack through the feeding hopper and fall onto the feeding assembly. The feeding assembly starts, causing the falling square batteries to be separated by the blocks. When the feeding assembly delivers the square batteries to the anti-deviation assembly, the heating assembly heats the battery casing to soften the plastic. Then the feeding assembly continues to move the square batteries, causing them to come into contact with the cutter, thus breaking the casing of the square batteries. No dust is generated during the entire process, and there is no battery leakage, making it safer.

[0025] 2. After the belt delivers the square battery to the heating element for heating, the cylinder starts when the cutter breaks the square battery's casing, causing the baffles on the front and rear sides to press tightly against the front and rear sides of the square battery, preventing the square battery from shifting during the casing breaking process.

[0026] 3. The cutter is movably connected to the guide frame. Bolts pass through the through holes on the cutter and are threaded to the threaded holes at different positions on the guide frame, thereby changing the distance between the cutter and the belt. This makes it easier to break open battery casings of different thicknesses, making it more versatile. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and 3 This utility model provides a square battery casing breaking device, including a feeding rack 1, a support column 2 and a feeding hopper 3 installed on the feeding rack 1, a feeding assembly 4 installed inside the feeding rack 1, a plurality of stops 5 installed on the feeding assembly 4, and a discharge channel 10 connected to the other side of the feeding rack 1. Anti-deviation assemblies 6 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the feeding rack 1, and a heating assembly 7 is installed between two of the anti-deviation assemblies 6. A cutter 8 is installed on the heating assembly 7.

[0034] The square batteries to be processed are fed into the feeding rack 1 through the feeding hopper 3 and fall onto the feeding assembly 4. The feeding assembly 4 is activated, causing the falling square batteries to be separated one by one by the stop blocks 5. When the feeding assembly 4 delivers the square batteries to the anti-deviation assembly 6, the heating assembly 7 heats the battery shell to soften the plastic. Then the feeding assembly 4 continues to move the square batteries, so that the square batteries come into contact with the cutter 8, realizing the shell breaking of the square batteries. No dust is generated in the whole process, and there is no battery leakage, which is safer.

[0035] The feeding assembly 4 includes two rotating wheels 41 rotatably connected to the inside of the feeding rack 1, a belt 42 driving the two rotating wheels 41, and a drive motor 43 mounted on the feeding rack 1 to drive one of the rotating wheels 41 to rotate. When the drive motor 43 starts, it drives one of the rotating wheels 41 to rotate. When one of the rotating wheels 41 rotates, it drives the other rotating wheel 41 to rotate through the belt 42, so that the belt 42 rotates as a whole, and the falling square batteries are transported.

[0036] The baffles 5 are installed on the outside of the belt 42 and are evenly distributed. After the square batteries fall on the belt 42, they are separated by the baffles 5, which facilitates the continuous breaking of the square batteries.

[0037] The anti-deviation component 6 includes a cylinder 61 mounted on the feeding rack 1 and a baffle 62 connected to the output end of the cylinder 61. After the belt 42 feeds the square battery to the heating component 7 for heating, when the cutter 8 breaks the shell of the square battery, the cylinder 61 is activated, so that the baffles 62 on the front and rear sides press against the front and rear sides of the square battery to prevent the square battery from shifting during the shell breaking process.

[0038] The heating assembly 7 includes a heating tube 71 mounted on one of the baffles 62, a heating tube 72 mounted on the other baffle 62, a plurality of hot air outlets 73 formed on the heating tube 71 and the heating tube 72, a hot air blower 74 mounted on the feeding rack 1, and a ventilation pipe 75 connecting the hot air blower 74 and the heating tube 71. The end of the heating tube 71 near the heating tube 72 is open and extends into the interior of the heating tube 72 and is slidably connected to its inner wall. The ventilation pipe 75 is a flexible hose. The cutter 8 is mounted on the outside of the heating tube 72.

[0039] When the hot air blower 74 is started, hot air is sent to the interior of heating tube 1 71 and heating tube 2 72 through the ventilation pipe 75. Then, the hot air is blown onto the square battery through the hot air outlet 73, which softens the battery shell. Then, the belt 42 continues to move the square battery, so that the square battery comes into contact with the cutter 8, realizing the shell breaking of the square battery. No dust is generated in the whole process, and there is no battery leakage, which makes it safer.

[0040] The cylinder 61 starts and drives the baffle 62 to limit the square batteries of different sizes. The heating tube 1 71 slides inside the heating tube 2 72. While limiting the square batteries of different sizes, it also achieves the purpose of softening the shell of the square batteries of different sizes.

[0041] Example 2, please refer to Figure 1-2 The cutter 8 is mounted on the heating tube 72 via the connecting assembly 9, which can change the distance between the cutter 8 and the belt 42, making it easier to break open battery casings of different thicknesses and thus more versatile.

[0042] The connecting assembly 9 includes a guide frame 91 mounted on the heating tube 72, a plurality of threaded holes 92 formed on the guide frame 91, and a bolt 93 threadedly connected to one of the threaded holes 92. The cutter 8 is movably connected to the inner side of the guide frame 91, and the cutter 8 has a through hole adapted to the bolt 93.

[0043] The cutter 8 is movably connected to the guide frame 91. The bolt 93 passes through the through hole on the cutter 8 and is threaded to the threaded hole 92 at different positions on the guide frame 91, thereby changing the distance between the cutter 8 and the belt 42. This makes it easier to break open battery shells of different thicknesses, making it more versatile.
