[0001] This application relates to the field of general crushing, grinding or pulverizing technology, and in particular to a modular processing device for cathode materials. Background Technology
[0002] The positive electrode material of a battery needs to be crushed during recycling. Crushing increases the surface area of the positive electrode material, thereby accelerating the reaction rate and improving the leaching efficiency of metal elements during subsequent chemical processing. A published Chinese patent, publication number 202020797873.0, entitled "A Crushing and Sieving Machine for Metal Powder of Lithium-ion Battery Positive Electrode Material," while capable of crushing the positive electrode material after battery disassembly, requires manual handling and pouring of the material from the top of the device for further crushing. This process is complex, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Example
[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 The embodiments of this application provide a modular processing device for positive electrode materials, which relates to the field of general crushing, grinding or pulverizing technology. The device includes a pulverizing component, a lifting component, a tilting component, and a conveying component. The pulverizing component is used to crush the positive electrode materials after battery disassembly. The lifting component is located on one side of the pulverizing component. The tilting component is connected to the lifting component and is used to feed the pulverized positive electrode materials into the pulverizing component. The conveying component is connected to the lower end of the pulverizing component and is used to receive the pulverized positive electrode materials.
[0022] This embodiment includes a crushing component, a lifting component, a tilting component, and a conveying component. The crushing component performs initial crushing and subsequent further crushing of the positive electrode material after battery disassembly. The conveying component receives the crushed positive electrode material and transports it to the next step. The tilting component receives the crushed positive electrode material and feeds it back into the crushing component. Specifically, when the tilting component moves to a position above one side of the crushing component, it tilts, pouring the crushed positive electrode material into the crushing component for further crushing. Compared to existing technologies that require manual material handling to the crushing component's feeding port, the tilting component in this embodiment is easier to operate and saves time and effort. The lifting component drives the tilting component to move up and down, thereby transporting the crushed material from the conveying component below the crushing component to the top of the crushing component. This embodiment solves the problem of difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive operation when performing secondary crushing of the initially crushed positive electrode material in existing technologies.
[0023] Preferably, the flipping assembly includes a receiving box 1 and two flipping motors 2, which are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the receiving box 1. The flipping motors 2 are connected to the lifting assembly. The receiving box 1 is used to receive the crushed positive electrode material from the transmission assembly. By connecting the flipping motors 2 to both sides of the receiving box 1, the positive electrode material in the receiving box 1 can be directly poured into the crushing assembly for further crushing without manual handling. The lifting assembly transports the receiving box 1 and the flipping motors 2 from a position below one side of the crushing assembly to a position above the same side of the crushing assembly.
[0024] Preferably, a reinforcing plate 3 connects the tilting motor 2 to the lifting assembly. The reinforcing plate 3 effectively strengthens the connection between the motor and the lifting assembly, preventing the tilting motor 2 from falling off during operation.
[0025] Preferably, reinforcing frames 10 are connected to the front and rear sides of the receiving box 1. A flipping motor 2 is fixedly connected inside the reinforcing frames 10, and a positioning block 11 is slidably connected to the reinforcing plate 3. The output end of the flipping motor 2 is rotatably connected to the positioning block 11. In detail, the reinforcing frames 10 are used to fix the flipping motor 2, enhancing the stability and tightness of the connection; the positioning blocks 11 are used to rotatably connect the output end of the flipping motor 2 to the positioning block 11, ensuring the normal operation of the flipping function. It should be noted that the positioning block 11 is slidably connected to the reinforcing plate 3. To avoid interference during the lifting process of the lifting assembly, the receiving box 1 is never in contact with the outer surface of the crushing assembly. When the lifting assembly transports the receiving box 1 to the position above the crushing assembly, the flipping motor 2 is started to work, driving the receiving box 1 to rotate towards the crushing assembly. The positive electrode material inside the receiving box 1 moves towards the crushing assembly, causing the center of gravity to move towards the crushing assembly. At this time, the positioning block 11 slides along the reinforcing plate 3 towards the crushing assembly, so that part of the receiving box 1 is located on the inner side above the crushing assembly, thereby allowing as much of the positive electrode material inside the receiving box 1 as possible to enter the crushing assembly. Then, the flipping motor 2 is controlled to work, driving the receiving box 1 to rotate away from the crushing assembly. Then the lifting assembly works to successfully transport the receiving box 1 to the lower position on the same side as the crushing assembly.
[0026] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a lifting base 4, a lifting motor 5, a lifting shaft 6, and a connecting column 7. The lifting motor 5 is embedded in the lifting base 4, the lifting shaft 6 is connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 5 and extends out of the lifting base 4, and the two ends of the connecting column 7 are respectively connected to the lifting shaft 6 and the reinforcing plate 3. The lifting base 4 is used to fix the position of the lifting motor 5, and the lifting shaft 6 is used to drive the connecting column 7 to move up and down, thereby driving the reinforcing plate 3, the receiving box 1, the flipping motor 2, the reinforcing frame 10, the positioning block 11, and other structures to move up and down.
[0027] Preferably, a limiting post 8 is connected to the lifting seat 4, and a limiting block 9 is connected to the top of the limiting post 8. The side of the connecting post 7 away from the receiving box 1 is slidably connected to the limiting post 8, and the top of the lifting shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 9. The limiting post 8 connects to the limiting block 9 and restricts the working state of the lifting shaft 6, ensuring the normal rotation of the lifting shaft 6 while preventing tilting or detachment during operation. Specifically, a sliding block is slidably connected to the limiting post 8, and the sliding block is connected to the connecting post 7. The sliding block is threadedly connected to the lifting post. The lifting motor 5 rotates, driving the lifting shaft 6 to rotate. During the rotation of the lifting shaft 6, the thread drives the upper-connected sliding block to move upward, while the limiting post 8 restricts the position and direction of the sliding block, causing the sliding block to drive the receiving box 1 to reciprocate in the direction of the lifting shaft 6. The processing equipment provided in this embodiment can minimize human intervention, save manpower and resources, and is simple and convenient to operate.
[0028] Preferably, the pulverizing assembly includes at least a housing 12 and a pulverizing blade 13 connected inside it; the conveying assembly includes at least a conveying trough 14. The housing 12 is used to connect the pulverizing blade 13 and allow the pulverized positive electrode material to move inside it; the housing 12 has a feed inlet at the top and a discharge outlet at the bottom; the discharge outlet is connected to the top of the conveying trough 14; the bottom of the conveying trough is connected to the receiving box 1 when it is located below one side of the housing 12. At this time, the bottom of the conveying trough is located above the receiving box 1, which ensures that all the pulverized positive electrode material enters the receiving box 1.
[0029] 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.
