Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lithium battery recycling technology, specifically relating to a lithium battery separator washing and recycling device. Background Technology
[0002] The lithium battery separator is an internal component of a lithium battery. In the structure of a lithium battery, the separator is one of the key internal components. When lithium batteries are recycled, various materials inside the lithium battery are separated, including the recycling and cleaning of the separator. When cleaning the separator, the broken separator is poured into a scrubbing tank, and the surface of the separator is washed away with circulating water and separator cleaning agent. This is a commonly used technology and equipment for cleaning separators.
[0003] After cleaning the diaphragm in the current scrubbing tank, the diaphragm floats directly on the surface of the water. Generally, these cleaned diaphragms are collected by operators using a hand net. Although this method is stable, it has certain problems in actual use. Specifically, the current collection method requires operators to move the net along the edge of the scrubbing tank, which is time-consuming and laborious, affecting the overall collection effect and prolonging the cleaning time of the next diaphragm, thus affecting the working efficiency of the equipment itself.

[0022] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0024] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments. The present invention provides the following embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1As shown, this is a structural schematic diagram of the lithium battery separator washing and recycling equipment in this embodiment. The equipment includes a washing tank body 1, a rinsing component 2, a cleaning zone 3, and a linkage plate 4. The rinsing component 2 is installed on the side of the washing tank body 1. A collection pipe is installed on one end of the washing tank body 1 opposite to the rinsing component 2. The collection pipe is connected to a pump body. The output end of the pump body is connected to the rinsing component 2, and a feeding pipe is connected to the rinsing component 2. A cleaning zone 3 is opened inside the washing tank body 1. The linkage plate 4 is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning zone 3. A collection mechanism 5 is installed on the side of the linkage plate 4.
[0026] The diaphragm to be cleaned is poured into the cleaning zone 3. At this time, the flushing component 2 and the pump body are used to spray water and cleaning agent into the cleaning zone 3 simultaneously, and the diaphragm in the cleaning zone 3 is rinsed and scrubbed multiple times to remove impurities and oil from the surface of the diaphragm. When the collection pipe is used, the liquid in the scrubbing tank body 1 is collected to facilitate subsequent circulation rinsing, so that the rinsed diaphragm floats on the water surface, making it easy for the subsequent collection mechanism 5 to collect the diaphragm.
[0027] As attached Figure 2 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the collection mechanism 5 in this embodiment. The collection mechanism 5 includes a side shell 51 and a drive assembly 52. The side shell 51 is installed on the side of the main body 1 of the scrubbing pool, and the drive assembly 52 is installed inside the side shell 51. There are two sets of linkage plates 4. A connecting plate 53 is installed on the side of the linkage plate 4. The connecting plate 53 is connected to the components in the drive assembly 52. A support rod 54 is installed between the linkage plates 4. A retrieval assembly 55 is installed outside the support rod 54. The retrieval assembly 55 collects the diaphragm floating on the water surface of the washing area 3.
[0028] Driven by the operation of the drive component 52, the connecting plate 53 moves. Through the transmission of the connecting plate 53, the linkage plate 4 and the support rod 54 move synchronously, which facilitates the subsequent collection and pushing of the diaphragm floating on the water surface by the salvage component 55.
[0029] Appendix Figure 3 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the drive assembly 52 in this embodiment. The drive assembly 52 includes a lead screw 521, a guide rod 522, a moving end 523, and a drive motor 524. The lead screw 521 is rotatably installed inside the side housing 51, and the guide rod 522 is fixedly installed inside the side housing 51. The moving end 523 is threadedly installed on the outside of the lead screw 521. The moving end 523 is slidably connected to the guide rod 522. The moving end 523 is connected to one of the connecting plates 53. The drive motor 524 is installed on the side of the side housing 51, and the output end of the drive motor 524 is connected to the end of the lead screw 521.
[0030] By starting the drive motor 524, the lead screw 521 rotates inside the side housing 51. At this time, the moving end 523 installed outside the lead screw 521 moves along the length of the lead screw 521 to control the linkage plate 4 and the connecting plate 53 to move horizontally, so that the salvage assembly 55 slides at a specific height to collect the diaphragm floating on the water surface.
[0031] As attached Figure 4 As shown, this is a structural schematic diagram of the salvage component 55 in this embodiment. The salvage component 55 includes an arc-shaped mesh plate 551, a rotating frame 552, and a fixing screw 553. The rotating frame 552 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the support rod 54. The arc-shaped mesh plate 551 is mounted on the side of the rotating frame 552. The support rod 54 has mounting grooves at equal intervals, and the rotating frame 552 has a connecting hole. The fixing screw 553 is threadedly installed in the connecting hole, and the end of the fixing screw 553 is threadedly connected to the mounting groove.
[0032] As the positions of the linkage plate 4 and the support rod 54 move, the arc-shaped mesh plate 551 collects the diaphragm. After collection, the fixing screw 553 is rotated to disengage from the mounting groove, which in turn pushes the fixing screw 553, causing the arc-shaped mesh plate 551 to rotate around the support rod 54. This controls the angle of the arc-shaped mesh plate 551 and retrieves the diaphragm from the water surface, simplifying the diaphragm retrieval operation.
[0033] In this embodiment, the initial angle of the arc-shaped mesh plate 551 varies depending on the position of the mounting groove into which the fixing screw 553 is inserted, which facilitates the subsequent stable collection of the diaphragm by the arc-shaped mesh plate 551.
[0034] As attached Figure 5 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pushing mechanism 6 in this embodiment. The pushing mechanism 6 includes a base plate 61 and a pushing plate 62. The base plate 61 is installed at the bottom of the linkage plate 4, and the pushing plate 62 is installed on the side of the base plate 61. The pushing plate 62 slides against the inner wall of the washing tank body 1. A filter screen plate 63 is installed on the side wall of the washing tank body 1. There is a gap between the filter screen plate 63 and the bottom of the washing tank body 1. The pushing plate 62 slides within the gap. A collection chamber 64 is installed on the side of the washing tank body 1, and a sealing plate 65 is installed on the collection chamber 64.
[0035] When the retrieval assembly 55 moves as a whole, the linkage plate 4 connects and transmits the movement, pushing the plate 62 to slide against the inner wall of the cleaning zone 3, pushing the impurities settled in the cleaning zone 3 and allowing them to concentrate into the collection chamber 64. Subsequently, the impurities in the collection chamber 64 can be quickly removed by opening the sealing plate 65. The filter screen 63 not only facilitates the stable entry of impurities into the collection chamber 64, but also isolates and screens the outside of the collection pipe, preventing impurities or the diaphragm from entering the collection pipe when the liquid circulates.
[0036] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present utility model, and all such deductions or substitutions should be considered to fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims submitted by the present utility model.
