Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery sorting equipment, and in particular to a modular battery cascade utilization sorting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Modular battery cascade utilization sorting equipment is a specialized device that adopts a modular design to automatically detect, classify, and screen retired power batteries. It achieves flexible combination and functional expansion by disassembling mechanical structures and detection units. It can evaluate battery performance and sort them into different grades to match cascade application scenarios. Using this equipment, it can adapt to the diversity of retired batteries, reduce equipment investment and expansion costs, improve detection efficiency and accuracy, facilitate maintenance and upgrades, and also conform to the green and low-carbon concept. It is a key device for solving the industrialization problem of retired battery cascade utilization and promoting the large-scale development of the battery circular economy.

[0003] The existing modular battery cascade utilization sorting equipment works by first performing visual inspection on retired batteries, rejecting scrap batteries, and calibrating their posture through the feeding and pre-processing module. Then, a replaceable parameter detection module group detects parameters such as voltage, internal resistance, capacity, cycle performance, and safety performance. Next, the data processing and grading module integrates the parameters and uses algorithms to classify the batteries into different grades. Finally, the sorting and unloading module distributes the batteries to the corresponding channels according to their grades. Each module can operate independently or collaboratively, and can be adapted to different batteries by changing interfaces and adjusting parameters, thus balancing efficiency and compatibility.

[0004] However, current modular battery cascade utilization sorting equipment still has significant shortcomings in actual operation. Although the equipment itself has automated detection and sorting capabilities, the initial screening of retired batteries still relies on manual labor in the front-end feeding stage. Workers need to check for obvious defects such as battery appearance damage, casing deformation, and leakage one by one, and remove batteries that do not meet the machine's standards. This manual pre-processing method is not only inefficient, with the hourly processing capacity usually less than one-third of the equipment's automated detection capacity, but it is also prone to missed detections and misjudgments due to human fatigue, which in turn affects the accuracy of subsequent module detection. More importantly, the lag in the manual process often leaves the equipment waiting for feeding, making it difficult to fully utilize the high efficiency advantage of multi-module parallel operation, which seriously restricts the continuity of the overall sorting process and the release of production capacity. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular battery sorting device for secondary utilization, which aims to improve the problem of low efficiency in the prior art where manual preliminary screening is required during equipment use.

The bottom of the blocking block is fixedly connected to the top of the base, one side of the pushing device is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the blocking block, the outer wall of each push plate is slidably connected to the inside of the bracket, and one end of each sorting box is slidably connected to one side of the bracket.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The base has multiple telescopic rods fixedly connected inside, and a baffle plate is fixedly connected to the top of each pair of telescopic rods.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The bracket has multiple fixing pins that slide inside, and each fixing pin has a limit plate fixedly connected to its outer wall.

This achieves the effect of allowing the sorting modules to be stacked horizontally to flexibly adjust the equipment capacity during use, avoiding the problem of poor scalability of traditional sorting methods during equipment use, and thus improving the practicality of the modular battery cascade utilization sorting equipment.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a modular battery sorting and recycling device, comprising a base 1, a support 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 to support other components and prevent them from tipping over, an operating component on one side of the support 2 to manipulate the internal data of the device to change internal parameters, a receiving frame 3 fixedly connected to the top of the support 2 to receive a drum screen 5 and provide space for its rotation, multiple fixing rings 4 fixedly connected inside the receiving frame 3 to connect the drum screen 5 and provide mechanical support for its rotation, the drum screen 5 is rotatably connected inside the fixing rings 4 to separate batteries of different weights, and a protective shell fixedly connected to the top of the receiving frame 3. 6. The drive motor 7 is protected. The drive motor 7 is fixedly connected inside the protective shell 6. It drives the drum screen 5 to move to perform preliminary screening. The output end of the drive motor 7 is connected to one end of the drum screen 5. A guide plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the receiving frame 3 to guide the screened batteries. A screening component is set on the top of the support 2 to screen batteries of different sizes. A loading box 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the support 2 to load the screened batteries for the next step. A rotating wheel 16 is rotatably connected inside the loading box 15 to drive the batteries to move into the sorting component. A sorting component is set on one side of the support 2 to sort the batteries.

[0035] The screening assembly includes a vibrating plate 9, a vibrator 10, and a discharge pipe 11. The vibrating plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the support 2 and is used to load batteries and screen them by size. The vibrator 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the vibrating plate 9 and drives the vibrating plate 9 to perform screening. The discharge pipe 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the vibrating plate 9 and is used to transport batteries of suitable size. The operating assembly includes an operating table 12, a display screen 13, and multiple buttons 14. One side of the operating table 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support 2, supporting the display screen 13 and buttons 14 for easy operation. One side of the display screen 13 is electrically connected to the outer wall of the operating table 12 to display internal data for easy observation by the operator. Button 14 is electrically connected to one side of the operating table 12 to operate the internal data of the equipment to control the movement of the internal components of the equipment. The sorting assembly includes a blocking block 17, a pushing device 18, multiple push plates 19 and multiple sorting boxes 20. The bottom of the blocking block 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 to prevent the sorted batteries from flying out of the equipment. One side of the pushing device 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the blocking block 17 to push the batteries to the side of the corresponding push plate 19. The outer wall of each push plate 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the bracket 2 to push the batteries into the sorting box 20. One end of each sorting box 20 is slidably connected to one side of the bracket 2 to load the sorted batteries.

[0036] Specifically, the retired batteries to be sorted are first placed into the tilted drum screen 5, and then the drive motor 7 is started. The motor drives the drum screen 5 to rotate slowly at a stable speed. Batteries whose weight deviates significantly from the standard value will slide out of the mesh holes under the combined action of centrifugal force and gravity, completing the initial weight screening. The qualified batteries then slide smoothly into the vibrating plate 9 below along the guide plate 8 at the end of the drum screen 5. The vibrating plate 9 has a spiral track designed according to the standard size of the batteries. As the vibrating plate 9 vibrates at high frequency, batteries that are too large or too small will be gradually removed at the edge of the track, ensuring that the remaining batteries fully meet the size requirements of subsequent testing. The qualified batteries that have undergone double screening are finally poured into the loading box 15 below through the discharge pipe 11 with a buffer structure, waiting to enter the sorting equipment for the next step of precision parameter testing.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The base 1 has multiple telescopic rods 21 fixedly connected inside, controlling the raising and lowering of the baffle plate 22 to control the number of sorting boxes 20 used. A baffle plate 22 is fixedly connected to the top of every two telescopic rods 21 to prevent the battery from moving into the subsequent sorting box 20. The bracket 2 has multiple fixing pins 23 slidably connected inside, fixing the position of the limiting strip 27 to fix the sorting box 20 to one side of the bracket 2. A limiting plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each fixing pin 23 to limit its movement range. Each fixing pin 23 has multiple... Each spring 25 provides elastic force to the fixing pin 23. One end of each spring 25 is fixedly connected to the inside of the bracket 2, and the other end of each spring 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixing pin 23. Multiple sliding grooves 26 are provided on one side of the bracket 2 to accommodate the limiting strips 27 to connect the sorting box 20 and the bracket 2. Each sorting box 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting strip 27 to limit the movement range of the sorting box 20. The sorting boxes 20 are arranged in a parallel array on one side of the bracket 2. The outer wall of each limiting strip 27 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 26.

[0038] Specifically, when the number of sorting boxes 20 used needs to be adjusted according to actual sorting requirements, first locate the fixing pin 23 on the side of the corresponding sorting box 20, and gently press it inward with your finger. The fixing pin 23 will retract into the bracket 2, thereby unlocking the locking structure that was originally engaged with the limiting strip 27. At this time, hold the sorting box 20 and lift it upward smoothly. The limiting strip 27 on one side of the sorting box 20 will slowly come out along the sliding groove 26 on the bracket 2 until it is completely detached from the groove. The sorting box 20 can then be easily removed. At the same time, the baffle plate 22 on the side of the adjacent sorting box 20 will quickly lift upward under the drive of the telescopic rod 21, forming a barrier to block the conveying path of the battery to this area, avoiding material leakage or mixing problems due to the removal of the sorting box 20. This ensures both the flexibility of adjustment and the orderliness of the sorting process.

[0039] Working principle: In the process of using the modular battery cascade utilization sorting equipment, the batteries to be sorted are first placed into the drum screen 5. Then, the drive motor 7 is started to drive the drum screen 5 to start sorting batteries that are not the right weight. The sorted batteries enter the vibrating plate 9 through the guide plate 8 to sort batteries that are not the right size. After sorting, they are introduced into the loading box 15 through the discharge pipe 11 for sorting. Then, the rotating wheel 16 rotates to transport them into the blocking block 17. Then, the pushing device 18 is started to push the batteries to one end of the corresponding sorting box 20. Finally, the push plate 19 is started to push the batteries into the corresponding sorting box 20. When it is necessary to adjust the number of sorting boxes 20 to be used, the fixing pin 23 is pressed inward to retract into the bracket 2 to unlock the limiting strip 27 on one side of the sorting box 20. Then, the sorting box 20 is held and lifted upward so that the limiting strip 27 is completely dislodged from the sliding groove 26. At the same time, the blocking plate 22 on the side of the sorting box 20 is lifted by the telescopic rod 21 to prevent the batteries from entering this area.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
