[0021] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Combined with appendix Figure 1-3A battery immersion production line includes an immersion tank 1, an immersion conveyor belt 2 inside the immersion tank 1, and an immersion solution filled in the immersion tank 1. The immersion conveyor belt 2 is completely immersed in the immersion solution in the immersion tank 1. The immersion conveyor belt 2 is a chain plate conveyor belt, which is composed of multiple chain plates hinged together in sequence. The chain plates are made of corrosion-resistant material, preferably PVC plastic. The chain plate conveyor belt has a rigid connection structure and does not undergo elastic deformation. Therefore, when a large number of recycled batteries are arranged on the chain plate conveyor belt, the chain plate conveyor belt will almost not exhibit high-end deformation due to the large force on the chain plates. With a low height difference, the chain conveyor belt is completely submerged in the immersion liquid. After the recovered battery is moved onto the immersion conveyor belt 2, the immersion conveyor belt 2 moves the recovered battery in the immersion liquid. The recovered battery is moved from one end of the immersion conveyor belt 2 to the other end in the immersion liquid, thereby achieving the initial immersion treatment of the recovered battery by the immersion liquid. After the recovered battery is placed on the immersion conveyor belt 2, the height of the immersion liquid on the recovered battery should completely cover the base of the immersion battery. The depth of the recovered battery in the immersion liquid should not be too high. The height of the immersion liquid covering the recovered battery should not exceed one-fifth of the height of the recovered battery.

[0024] The immersion liquid in immersion tank 1 can be adjusted to different functions as needed, for example.

[0025] The immersion conveyor belt 2 can also be a conventional belt conveyor, which should be made of corrosion-resistant belt material.

[0026] When the immersion conveyor belt 2 is a belt conveyor belt, multiple support rollers can be set within the length range of the belt conveyor belt. The support rollers are evenly distributed within the conveyor belt. Since the recycled batteries are relatively heavy, the absence of support rollers would cause the belt to be under greater stress, resulting in a situation where the ends are higher than the middle. The support rollers can provide good support for the conveyor belt, thereby reducing the height difference between different positions on the conveyor belt. Height differences can cause the recycled batteries to slip on the immersion conveyor belt 2, making it difficult to control the position of the recycled batteries. In addition, the power demand on the immersion conveyor belt is also greater, and the wear and tear on the components is also greater after long-term use.

[0027] Immersion treatment plays a crucial role in battery recycling. Firstly, by immersing the batteries in brine to discharge them, the amount of electrical energy stored in the batteries can be effectively reduced, minimizing potential hazards and providing better conditions for subsequent recycling. Immersion treatment not only ensures the safety of the batteries during recycling but also guarantees they are in a safe condition before disassembly.

[0028] In addition, immersion treatment is also used in the recycling and reuse of power equipment to extract valuable metals or other components from the equipment. For example, when recycling used batteries, immersion treatment can help extract valuable metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. These metals play an important role in battery manufacturing, and resources are limited, making recycling and reuse of them significant.

[0029] The immersion conveyor belt 2 has belt shafts on the pulleys at both ends. The belt shafts are rotatably mounted on the side wall of the immersion tank 1. At least one belt power structure 3 is connected to the pulleys on both sides. The belt power structure 3 is mounted on the immersion tank 1. The belt power structure 3 includes a mounting bracket mounted on the immersion tank 1. A drive motor and a reducer are fixed on the mounting bracket. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the reducer. The output shaft of the reducer is powered by the belt shaft of the pulley. The connection is preferably a gear connection. Bevel gears or helical gears can be used for meshing to achieve power transmission.

[0030] The speed reducer can increase the torque of the motor, which can not only reduce the speed of the motor and thus make the transport speed of the immersion conveyor belt slower, but also extend the immersion time of the recycled batteries in the immersion liquid. At the same time, when the immersion conveyor belt 2 is full of recycled batteries, it can drive the immersion conveyor belt 2 to move with a larger torque.

[0031] The immersion tanks 1 on both sides of the immersion conveyor belt 2 are connected to a non-powered transmission structure. The non-powered transmission structure includes an inclined mounting frame 4. The inclined surface of the inclined mounting frame 4 slopes from high to low from both sides of the immersion conveyor belt 2 towards the immersion conveyor belt 2. Multiple rollers 41 are evenly arranged on the inclined mounting frame 4. The recovered battery moves on the rollers 41, thereby moving to the immersion conveyor belt 2 to achieve bottom immersion.

[0032] The side of the immersion conveyor belt 2 is a feeding line, which includes a feeding conveyor belt 5 and a support platform 51 for mounting the feeding conveyor belt 5. The feeding conveyor belt is equipped with multiple channel structures 6 and pushing structures 7. Since the feeding speed of the feeding conveyor belt is much greater than the immersion processing speed of the recycled batteries in a single immersion tank, one feeding conveyor belt 5 can be used with multiple immersion tanks 1. The channel structure 6 is used to push the recycled batteries on the feeding conveyor belt 5 into the immersion conveyor belts 2 in different immersion tanks 1. The pushing structure 7 is located at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 5 and is used to push the recycled batteries that have reached the end into the immersion tank 1 located at the end.

[0033] In other embodiments, the immersion tank 1 located at the last position can be directly connected to the end of the feed line. By setting a guide rail at the end of the feed conveyor belt 5, the recycled batteries left on the feed conveyor belt 5 through multiple channel structures 6 can flow directly into the final immersion tank 1 for processing.

[0034] Both the channeling structure 6 and the pushing structure 7 are fixed on the support platform 51 of the feeding conveyor belt 5, and the channeling structure 6 and the pushing structure 7 will not affect the feeding of the feeding conveyor belt 5.

[0035] The channeling structure 6 includes a channeling mounting frame 61, which is fixedly mounted on the support platform 51 of the feed conveyor belt 5. The channeling mounting frame 61 has a rectangular frame structure. A sliding groove is provided at the top of the channeling mounting frame 61, and a sliding mounting plate 62 is slidably mounted within the groove. A lifting mounting plate 63 is fixedly mounted on the sliding mounting plate 62. A lifting slide rail 64 is provided on the lifting mounting plate 63, and a lifting plate 65 is slidably mounted on the lifting slide rail 64. The lifting slide rail 64 and the lifting plate 65 are engaged and slide together. Either the lifting slide rail 64 or the lifting plate 65 has a limiting groove, and the other has a limiting protrusion that engages with the limiting groove. This allows the lifting plate 65 to rise and fall without disengaging from the lifting slide rail 64 under stress. A drive device is provided on the lifting mounting plate 63 to drive the lifting plate 65 to slide on the lifting slide rail 64.

[0036] The sliding mounting plate 62 slides in two directions: toward and away from the immersion tank 1. The channel mounting frame 61 is also equipped with a drive device to drive the sliding mounting plate 62 to slide in the groove on the channel mounting frame 61. The drive devices on the lifting mounting plate 63 and the channel mounting frame 61 can both be cylinders. By fixing the extension rod of the cylinder to the sliding mounting plate 62 and the lifting plate 65, the cylinder drives the movement of the sliding mounting plate 62 and the lifting plate 65.

[0037] Other types of drive structures can also be used for the drive device, such as lead screw mechanisms and rack and pinion mechanisms.

[0038] The pushing structure 7 is directly fixed to the support platform 51 of the feeding conveyor belt 5. The pushing structure 7 can be directly constructed from a cylinder. The cylinder is fixed to the support platform 51, and a push plate is fixed on the telescopic rod of the cylinder. The cylinder can be used to push the recycled battery into the immersion tank 1. When not extended, the push plate is flush with the side of the support platform 51 away from the immersion tank 1.

[0039] A protective plate can be fixedly installed on the side of the push plate. The protective plate is used to prevent the push plate from accidentally getting stuck on the recycling battery located on the side when the telescopic rod of the cylinder of the push-in structure 7 is extended, thereby preventing the stuck recycling battery from causing unexpected problems in the feeding process.

[0040] After the recycled batteries on the feeding conveyor belt 5 are separated by multiple channel structures 6, the channel structures 6 will push most of the recycled batteries on the feeding conveyor belt 5 into the immersion tank 1 corresponding to the channel structure 6, and only a very small portion of the recycled batteries will reach the end of the feeding conveyor belt 5.

[0041] During use, the recycled batteries are first placed sequentially on the feeding conveyor belt 5. The feeding conveyor belt 5 is turned on to transport the recycled batteries to the channel structure 6. At this time, the drive device of the channel structure 6 keeps the lifting plate 65 on the upper side, and the sliding mounting plate 62 pushes the lifting plate 65 to the side away from the immersion tank 1. At this time, the drive device retracts the lifting plate 65. After the lifting plate 65 is on the lower side, the drive device pulls the sliding mounting plate 62 to move towards the immersion tank 1. At this time, the lifting plate 65 pushes the recycled batteries to the non-powered transmission structure. The recycled batteries on the non-powered transmission structure are moved to the immersion conveyor belt 2 in the immersion tank 1 by the rollers 41 on the non-powered transmission structure. The immersion conveyor belt 2 carries the recycled batteries and moves slowly in the immersion liquid. The immersion liquid soaks the recycled batteries on the immersion conveyor belt. The recycled batteries follow the immersion conveyor belt 2 from one end of the immersion conveyor belt 2 to the other end. At this time, the recycled batteries will move again to the non-powered transmission structure and pass through the non-powered transmission structure at the other end to reach the next recycling battery processing step.

[0042] The movement of the recycled batteries on the non-powered transmission structure at the other end is driven by the sequential contact between the batteries. That is, after the immersion conveyor belt 2 is filled with batteries, when the immersion conveyor belt 2 moves the submerged batteries, the batteries moving on the immersion conveyor belt later will push the previously recycled batteries to move. Thus, after the previously recycled batteries move from the immersion conveyor belt 2 to the non-powered transmission structure, the recycled batteries on the immersion conveyor belt 2 will further push the batteries between them to move on the non-powered transmission structure, thereby reaching the next battery recycling processing step.

[0043] The recovered batteries located on the unpowered transmission structure on one side of the channel structure 6 or the push-in structure 7 are pushed by the channel structure 6 and the push-in structure 7, thereby moving the recovered batteries onto the unpowered transmission structure. The subsequent batteries pushed by the channel structure 6 and the push-in structure 7 will push the batteries on the unpowered transmission structure onto the immersion conveyor belt.

[0044] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
