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.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 A batch crushing device for preparing hydrogen storage alloy powder includes a screening shell 1 and an impact mill 2.

The top side wall of the impact mill 2 has a feed inlet 3 with a built-in feed control valve. The device also includes a grading screening mechanism, a discharge pipe 4, a dust treatment mechanism, and a return material mechanism. The grading screening mechanism is located inside the screening shell 1 and is used to screen the hydrogen storage alloy. The discharge pipe 4 is connected to the bottom side wall of the screening shell 1 and has a built-in discharge control valve. The dust treatment mechanism is located on one side of the screening shell 1 and is used to treat the dust generated during screening and crushing. The return material mechanism is located between the screening shell 1 and the impact mill 2 and is used to re-transport the large alloy pieces after screening back to the impact mill 2 for crushing.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 The grading and screening mechanism includes a support ring 5, a support disk 6, a support column 8, and a first motor 9. Multiple support rings 5 are rotatably arranged inside the screening housing 1. A sealing ring is fixedly installed on the side wall of each support ring 5, and the sealing ring contacts the inner wall of the screening housing 1. A support disk 6 is installed on one side of each support ring 5. A screen cylinder 7 is fixedly installed between the side wall of the support disk 6 and the support ring 5. A support column 8 is rotatably arranged on the inner top wall of the screening housing 1, and the support column 8 is fixedly connected to the support disk 6. The first motor 9 is installed on the screening housing 1, and its output end is fixedly connected to the support column 8. Specifically, after adding hydrogen storage alloy powder to the impact mill 2 through the feed inlet 3, the feed control valve is closed. The impact mill 2 then crushes the hydrogen storage alloy powder. The crushed hydrogen storage alloy powder enters the screening housing 1, where it is graded and screened by multiple screen cylinders 7. During the screening process, the first motor 9 drives the screen cylinders 7 to rotate, thereby improving the screening efficiency of the screen cylinders 7 for the hydrogen storage alloy powder.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5A cleaning seat 10 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the screening shell 1 on one side of the support ring 5. A cleaning groove is opened on the side wall of the cleaning seat 10. A cleaning block 11 is slidably installed in the cleaning groove. A support spring 12 is fixedly installed between the cleaning block 11 and the bottom of the cleaning groove. Cleaning bristles are evenly distributed on the side wall of the cleaning block 11. The cleaning bristles are in contact with the screen cylinder 7. Specifically, during the rotation of the screen cylinder 7, the hydrogen storage alloy pulverized blocks attached to the surface of the screen cylinder 7 can be cleaned by the cleaning bristles, thereby avoiding large particles of hydrogen storage alloy powder from clogging the screen holes and affecting the filtration efficiency.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 The return material mechanism includes a support platform 13, a return material channel 15, and a auger elevator 16. The support platform 13 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the screening shell 1, and a first shell 14 is fixedly installed on the support platform 13. The side wall of the screening shell 1, which is connected to the support ring 5, has a return material channel 15. The return material channel 15 has an built-in electronic control valve and is connected to the first shell 14. The auger elevator 16 is installed on the support platform 13. The input end of the auger elevator 16 is connected to the first shell 14, and the output end of the auger elevator 16 is connected to the impact mill 2. Specifically, after screening, the electronic control valve can be opened, and the hydrogen storage alloy pulverized blocks remaining on the support ring 5 can enter the first shell 14 through the return material channel 15. Then, they are transported to the impact mill 2 for re-crushing by the auger elevator 16, which facilitates the batch and repeated crushing of the hydrogen storage alloy powder, thereby improving the crushing effect and crushing efficiency.
[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 The dust handling mechanism includes a filter box 17, a connecting pipe 19, and a fan 20. The filter box 17 is installed on one side of the screening housing 1, and a filter plate 18 is built into the filter box 17. The connecting pipe 19 is connected between the top of the side wall of the screening housing 1 and the inner top wall of the filter box 17. The fan 20 is installed on one side of the filter box 17, and the input end of the fan 20 is connected to the filter box 17. A coarse filter screen is installed inside the connecting pipe 19. Specifically, the operation of the fan 20 can generate negative pressure in the filter box 17, thereby drawing the dust in the screening housing 1 through the connecting pipe after it has been filtered by the coarse filter screen and then sucked into the filter box 17 for collection, thus preventing the dust from spreading and affecting the factory environment.
[0031] Working principle: During operation, the operator adds hydrogen storage alloy powder to the impact mill 2 through the feed inlet 3 and then closes the feed control valve. The impact mill 2 then crushes the hydrogen storage alloy powder. The crushed hydrogen storage alloy powder enters the screening shell 1 and is then graded and screened by multiple screen cylinders 7. During the screening process, the first motor 9 drives the screen cylinders 7 to rotate, thereby improving the screening efficiency of the screen cylinders 7. While the screen cylinders 7 are rotating, cleaning brushes can be used to clean the surface of the screen cylinders 7 to remove any remaining crushed hydrogen storage alloy particles, thus preventing large particles from forming. The hydrogen storage alloy powder can clog the sieve and affect the filtration efficiency. After screening, the electronic control valve can be opened, and the hydrogen storage alloy pulverized pieces remaining on the support ring 5 can enter the first housing 14 through the return channel 15. Then, they are transported to the impact mill 2 for re-crushing by the auger elevator 16. This facilitates the batch and repeated crushing of the hydrogen storage alloy powder, thereby improving the crushing effect and crushing efficiency. During the screening process, the operation of the blower 20 can generate negative pressure in the filter box 17, and then the dust in the screening housing 1 is drawn into the filter box 17 for collection after being filtered through the coarse filter screen by the connecting pipe, thereby preventing the dust from spreading and affecting the factory environment.
