Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of magnetic separation and sorting technology, and specifically relates to a magnetic separation and sorting device for the metal casing of power batteries. Background Technology
[0002] A power battery is a rechargeable battery system that provides driving power for electric vehicles. It converts stored chemical energy into electrical energy to drive the vehicle's electric motor. During braking or coasting, it can also recover some kinetic energy and convert it back into electrical energy for storage.
[0003] During the recycling process, power batteries need to be discharged, disassembled, and crushed. The crushed materials include a mixture of shell fragments, electrode materials, separators, copper foil, or aluminum foil. This mixture then needs to be sorted for reuse, thereby maximizing resource utilization.
[0004] In existing technologies, metal materials in a mixture are typically screened out using a magnetic separation sorting device. Since the mixture contains electrode materials, and these electrode materials are granular, when the metal materials are adsorbed onto the surface of the magnetic separation drum, the granular materials tend to accumulate in the gaps between the metal materials. Consequently, when the metal materials lose their magnetic force and are discharged, the granular waste metal materials tend to fall off simultaneously, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of the magnetic separation. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problem that when metal materials are screened out of a mixture using a magnetic separation device, the mixture contains electrode materials, which are granular. As the metal materials adhere to the surface of the magnetic separation drum, the granular materials tend to accumulate in the gaps between the metal materials. Consequently, when the metal materials lose their magnetic force and are discharged, the granular waste metal materials fall off simultaneously, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of magnetic separation, this utility model proposes a magnetic separation and sorting device for the metal casing of power batteries to overcome the aforementioned technical problems in existing related technologies.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model is a magnetic separation and sorting device for the metal casing of power batteries, including a support frame:
[0008] The support frame is equipped with a feeding assembly, a driving assembly, a magnetic separation assembly, a transmission assembly, and a toggle assembly.
[0009] The feeding component has its discharge end in contact with the outer surface of the magnetic separator, so that the feeding component can feed material onto the surface of the magnetic separator;
[0010] A drive assembly, the output end of which is fixedly installed at one end of the magnetic separator, so that the drive assembly drives the magnetic separator to rotate for sorting the metal materials inside the feeding assembly;
[0011] The transmission component is fixedly installed inside the output end of the drive component, so that the drive component drives the transmission component to rotate.
[0012] The actuating component has one end fixedly connected to one end of the transmission component, so that when the transmission component rotates, it drives the actuating component to actuate the material adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic separator.
[0013] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a fixed frame, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed to the top end of the support frame, a feeding hopper is fixedly installed on the top end of the fixed frame, and a baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a mounting bracket, one side of which is fixedly mounted to one side of the support bracket, and a motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, the magnetic separation assembly includes a rotating base, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed to the top end of the support frame. A magnetic separator is rotatably arranged inside the rotating base, one end of which is fixedly installed to the output end of the motor, and a separator ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the magnetic separator.
[0016] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a support base, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed to the top end of the support frame. A connecting shaft is rotatably arranged inside the support base, and a first transmission wheel is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting shaft. A transmission belt is driven on the inner side of the first transmission wheel, and a second transmission wheel is driven on the inner side of the transmission belt. The interior of the second transmission wheel is fixedly installed to the output end of the motor.
[0017] Furthermore, the actuating assembly includes a connecting frame, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed to the top end of the support frame, and a worm gear is rotatably arranged inside the connecting frame, one end of which is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft.
[0018] Furthermore, the actuating assembly also includes a mounting shaft, the outer surface of which is rotatably connected to the interior of the connecting frame. A worm gear is mounted on the outer surface of the mounting shaft, and the surface of the worm gear meshes with the surface of the worm. A lever is fixedly mounted on one end of the mounting shaft.
[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0020] 1. This utility model drives the transmission component installed at the output end of the start-up drive component to rotate, so that the transmission component drives the fixed actuating component to rotate. Since the actuating end of the actuating component is movable in the interval between the magnetic separation component and the magnetic separation component, when the magnetic separation component moves the metal material, the actuating component can actuate the metal material, thereby avoiding the accumulation of non-metallic materials at the metal material accumulation point, thus ensuring that there is no mixing of materials during the sorting process, and improving the sorting accuracy of the magnetic separation sorting device for metal casing of power batteries.
[0021] 2. This utility model uses a connecting shaft to drive a worm gear fixed at one end to rotate, which in turn drives a worm wheel meshing with the surface to rotate. This worm wheel then drives an internally mounted mounting shaft to move, which in turn drives a lever mounted at one end to rotate. Because the lever is bent and one end extends to the inner side of the gap between the separating rings, one end of the lever can rotate circumferentially and move the magnetically attracted metal material inside the separating rings. This prevents non-metallic materials from accumulating between the metal materials, thus preventing non-metallic materials from appearing in the metal material pile after sorting. This improves the sorting accuracy of the magnetic separation and sorting device for the metal casing of power batteries.
[0022] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the above advantages at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0034] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a magnetic separation and sorting device for the metal casing of power batteries, including a support frame 1:
[0035] The support frame 1 is equipped with a feeding assembly 2, a driving assembly 3, a magnetic separation assembly 4, a transmission assembly 5, and a toggle assembly 6.
[0036] The feeding component 2 has its discharge end in contact with the outer surface of the magnetic separator 4, so that the feeding component 2 feeds material onto the surface of the magnetic separator 4;
[0037] The drive assembly 3 has its output end fixedly installed at one end of the magnetic separation assembly 4 so that the drive assembly 3 drives the magnetic separation assembly 4 to rotate, so as to sort the metal materials inside the feeding assembly 2.
[0038] The transmission component 5 is fixedly installed inside the output end of the drive component 3 so that the drive component 3 drives the transmission component 5 to rotate.
[0039] The actuating component 6 is fixedly connected at one end to one end of the transmission component 5, so that when the transmission component 5 rotates, it drives the actuating component 6 to actuate the material adsorbed on the surface of the magnetic separator 4.
[0040] In use, the crushed battery waste is poured into the feeding assembly 2. Since the discharge end of the feeding assembly 2 is in contact with the outer surface of the magnetic separator 4, the material falls into the gaps on the outer surface of the magnetic separator 4. Then, the drive assembly 3 is activated to drive the magnetic separator 4 installed at the output end to rotate. The magnetic separator 4, in conjunction with magnetic force and rotation, moves the material inside the feeding assembly 2 out, causing non-magnetic materials to fall during the circumferential rotation, and causing magnetic materials to move to the non-magnetic area of the magnetic separator 4 to fall. This facilitates the sorting of metal materials inside the material. At the same time, the drive assembly 3 can drive the transmission assembly 5 installed at the output end to rotate, which in turn drives the actuating assembly 6, which is fixed at one end, to rotate. Since the actuating end of the actuating assembly 6 is movable in the gap between it and the magnetic separator 4, when the magnetic separator 4 moves the metal material, the actuating assembly 6 can actuate the metal material, thereby preventing the accumulation of non-metallic materials in the metal material accumulation area and avoiding uneven sorting.
[0041] This invention drives the transmission component 5 installed at the output end of the start-up drive component 3 to rotate, so that the transmission component 5 drives the actuating component 6 fixed at one end to rotate. Since the actuating end of the actuating component 6 is movable in the interval between the magnetic separation component 4 and the magnetic separation component 4, when the magnetic separation component 4 moves the metal material, the actuating component 6 can actuate the metal material, thereby avoiding the accumulation of non-metallic materials at the metal material accumulation point, thus ensuring that there is no mixing of materials during the sorting process, and improving the sorting accuracy of the magnetic separation sorting device for the metal casing of the power battery.
[0042] In one embodiment, the feeding component 2 includes a fixed frame 201, the bottom end of the fixed frame 201 is fixedly installed to the top end of the support frame 1, the top end of the fixed frame 201 is fixedly installed with a feeding hopper 202, and a baffle 203 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed frame 201.
[0043] The top-mounted hopper 202 is supported by the fixing frame 201, thereby ensuring its stability during the feeding process. The baffle 203 can block the material during the unloading process, thereby ensuring that the material is unloaded in a specific area and avoiding material splashing.
[0044] In one embodiment, the drive assembly 3 includes a mounting bracket 301, one side of which is fixedly mounted to one side of the support frame 1, and a motor 302 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting bracket 301.
[0045] The mounting bracket 301 is designed to support the motor 302 mounted on one side, thereby ensuring the stability of the motor 302 during operation.
[0046] In one embodiment, the magnetic separation assembly 4 includes a rotating base 401, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed with the top end of the support frame 1. A magnetic separator 402 is rotatably arranged inside the rotating base 401. One end of the magnetic separator 402 is fixedly installed with the output end of the motor 302. A separator ring 403 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the magnetic separator 402.
[0047] The magnetic separator 402 installed at the output end is driven by the start motor 302 to rotate, so that the magnetic separator 402 drives the separator ring 403 fixed on the outer surface to rotate. Since there are multiple sets of separator rings 403, the interval between them is set at a fixed distance, and the outer surface of the separator ring 403 is in contact with the discharge end of the feeding hopper 202, it can be ensured that the material inside the feeding hopper 202 is evenly distributed in the interval between the separator rings 403, thereby improving the stability of the material feeding process.
[0048] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly 5 includes a support base 501, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed with the top end of the support frame 1. A connecting shaft 502 is rotatably arranged inside the support base 501. A first transmission wheel 503 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 502. A transmission belt 504 is driven on the inner side of the first transmission wheel 503. A second transmission wheel 505 is driven on the inner side of the transmission belt 504. The interior of the second transmission wheel 505 is fixedly installed with the output end of the motor 302.
[0049] The second transmission wheel 505, installed at the output end, is driven to rotate by the starting motor 302. Since the inner side of the second transmission wheel 505 is connected to the inner side of the transmission belt 504, and the inner side of the transmission belt 504 is connected to the inner side of the first transmission wheel 503, when the second transmission wheel 505 rotates, it can work with the transmission belt 504 to drive the first transmission wheel 503 to rotate. When the first transmission wheel 503 rotates, it can drive the internally installed connecting shaft 502 to rotate. This causes the connecting shaft 502 to rotate with the inner center of the rotating support 501 on its outer surface, so that the support 501 restricts and supports the position of the connecting shaft 502, thereby improving the stability of the connecting shaft 502 during rotation.
[0050] In one embodiment, the toggle assembly 6 includes a connecting frame 601, the bottom end of which is fixedly installed with the top end of the support frame 1, and a worm gear 602 is rotatably provided inside the connecting frame 601, one end of which is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 502.
[0051] The actuating assembly 6 also includes a mounting shaft 603, the outer surface of which is rotatably connected to the interior of the connecting frame 601. A worm gear 604 is mounted on the outer surface of the mounting shaft 603, and the surface of the worm gear 604 meshes with the surface of the worm 602. A lever 605 is fixedly mounted on one end of the mounting shaft 603.
[0052] When the connecting shaft 502 rotates relative to the rotation of the first transmission wheel 503, it drives the worm gear 602, which is fixed at one end, to rotate. The worm gear 602 then drives the worm wheel 604, which is surface-engaged, to rotate. This causes the worm wheel 604 to move the internally mounted mounting shaft 603, which in turn drives the lever 605, which is mounted at one end, to rotate. Since the lever 605 is bent and one end extends to the inner side of the gap between the separating rings 403, one end of the lever 605 can rotate circumferentially and move the magnetically attracted metal material inside the separating rings 403. This prevents non-metallic materials from accumulating between the metal materials, thus preventing non-metallic materials from appearing in the metal material pile after sorting. This improves the sorting accuracy of the magnetic separation and sorting device for the metal casing of the power battery.
[0053] Through the above technical solution, 1. The drive component 3 drives the transmission component 5 installed at the output end to rotate, so that the transmission component 5 drives the fixed actuating component 6 to rotate. Since the actuating end of the actuating component 6 is set in the interval between the magnetic separation component 4, when the magnetic separation component 4 moves the metal material, the actuating component 6 can actuate the metal material, thereby avoiding the accumulation of non-metallic materials at the metal material accumulation point, thus ensuring that there is no mixing of materials during the sorting process, and improving the sorting accuracy of the magnetic separation sorting device for the metal casing of the power battery.
[0054] 2. The connecting shaft 502 drives the worm gear 602, which is fixed at one end, to rotate. The worm gear 602 drives the worm wheel 604, which is surface-engaged, to rotate. This causes the worm wheel 604 to move the internally mounted mounting shaft 603. In turn, the mounting shaft 603 drives the lever 605, which is mounted at one end, to rotate. Since the lever 605 is bent and one end extends to the inner side of the gap between the separating rings 403, one end of the lever 605 can rotate in a circular motion and move the magnetically attracted metal material inside the separating rings 403. This prevents non-metallic materials from accumulating between the metal materials, thus preventing non-metallic materials from appearing in the metal material pile after sorting. This improves the sorting accuracy of the magnetic separation and sorting device for the metal casing of the power battery.
