Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of button battery technology, and in particular to a device for disassembling and recycling used button batteries. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread use of electronic devices, the demand for recycling and processing used button batteries is increasing. Due to their small size and numerous models, button batteries often face difficulties in sorting during the recycling process.

[0003] Traditional methods of manually flipping batteries to check their codes to distinguish whether they contain silver are inefficient, labor-intensive, and prone to causing batteries to fall or be damaged due to improper handling. Furthermore, the small size of button batteries makes it difficult to quickly flip those facing up, further increasing the difficulty and cost of sorting.

[0004] Therefore, developing a device that can automatically flip and effectively distinguish silver-containing button batteries is of great significance for improving recycling efficiency and reducing labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems of inefficiency, high labor intensity, and the risk of batteries falling or being damaged due to improper handling in the traditional method of manually flipping the batteries to check their codes to distinguish whether they contain silver. Furthermore, due to the small size of button batteries, it is difficult to quickly flip batteries with the reverse side facing up, further increasing the difficulty and cost of sorting. Therefore, this invention proposes a device for disassembling and recycling waste button batteries.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A device for dismantling and recycling used button batteries includes a workbench with a circular hole inside the workbench. The size of the circular hole is larger than the size of the button battery. A support assembly is provided at the bottom of the workbench, which is located below the circular hole and is used to prevent the button battery from falling out.

[0008] Rectangular boxes are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the workbench. A rotating cylinder is rotatably inserted through one side of the rectangular box. A connecting rod slides through the inside of the rotating cylinder. A clamping block is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod, and a circular plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod. An arc-shaped groove is opened on one side of the clamping block. Two clamping blocks are used to clamp button batteries. A connecting clearance groove is opened on both sides of the top of the circular hole. The clamping block is slidably connected inside the clearance groove. A flipping assembly for driving the rotating cylinder to rotate is provided inside the rectangular box.

[0009] In one possible design, the support assembly includes four fixed rods fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench, the outer walls of the four fixed rods being slidably fitted with the same limiting plate, and a supporting circular block being fixedly connected to the top center of the limiting plate, the top of the supporting circular block extending into the interior of a circular hole.

[0010] In one possible design, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod, and a plurality of first springs are provided between the bottom of the limiting plate and the top of the limiting block. The top and bottom of the first springs abut against the bottom of the limiting plate and the top of the limiting block through spring seats.

[0011] In one possible design, the flipping assembly includes a clearance hole inside a rectangular box, through which a rack slides. One end of the rack is fixedly connected to a push plate. A second spring is provided between one side of the push plate and one side of the rectangular box. Both ends of the second spring abut against one side of the push plate and one side of the rectangular box via spring seats. A gear is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder, and the rack meshes with the gear.

[0012] In one possible design, a sliding plate is slidably connected between the inner walls of the two sides of the rectangular box. One side of the sliding plate abuts against one side of the circular plate. A third spring is provided between one side of the sliding plate and one inner wall of the rectangular box. Both ends of the third spring abut against one side of the sliding plate and one inner wall of the rectangular box through spring seats.

[0013] In one possible design, two symmetrically arranged strip blocks are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder, and two symmetrically arranged strip grooves are opened on the outer wall of the connecting rod, with the strip blocks slidably connected inside the strip grooves.

[0014] In one possible design, the workbench is fixedly connected to four legs at its bottom corners, and a protective plate is fixedly connected to the top periphery of the workbench.

[0015] In this application, when in use, the staff places a large number of button batteries on the top of the workbench. The protective plate can prevent the button batteries from falling. By observing the code on the button battery casing, it can be determined whether the button battery contains silver, and then different button batteries can be distinguished into two categories: those with silver and those without silver, which facilitates further processing.

[0016] When encountering a button battery facing up, it is difficult to quickly flip it over due to its small size. The button battery is pushed between two clamping blocks and squeezed into the inside of the arc-shaped groove, where it is clamped. Due to the design of the strip block and the strip groove, the connecting rod and clamping block can slide normally inside the rotating cylinder. The circular plate will push the sliding plate to move laterally. When the button battery enters the inside of the arc-shaped groove, the elastic force of the third spring will reset the sliding plate, thereby pushing the clamping block to the initial position.

[0017] Press the push plate, and the push plate will drive the rack to move laterally and squeeze the second spring. At this time, the rack will drive the gear to rotate, the gear will drive the rotating cylinder to rotate, the rotating cylinder will drive the connecting rod to rotate, and the connecting rod will drive the clamping block to rotate. Since the button battery is clamped between the two clamping blocks, the clamping block on the other side will rotate with the button battery, thus rotating the button battery to the reverse side. The code on the surface of the button battery can be quickly observed. After releasing, the button battery will reset and can be removed.

[0018] Furthermore, the top of the supporting circular block mates with the bottom inner wall of the workbench to prevent the button battery from falling out. When the clamping block is flipped, since the size of the circular hole is larger than the size of the clamping block, it can ensure that the clamping block and the button battery can flip normally. The clamping block pushes the supporting circular block to move down, and the supporting circular block drives the limiting plate to move down. The limiting plate slides on the fixed rod and is reset by the first spring, which can effectively protect the button battery and prevent it from falling out.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] This application achieves rapid clamping and flipping of button batteries through the design of clamping blocks and flipping components. Workers only need to push the battery between the clamping blocks, and the mechanical structure automatically completes the flipping operation, significantly improving flipping efficiency and reducing the difficulty and labor intensity of manual operation.

[0021] By incorporating support components at the bottom of the workbench, the button batteries are prevented from falling due to gravity or improper handling during the flipping process. The design of the support blocks fitting snugly against the inner wall of the workbench bottom provides stable support for the batteries, effectively protecting their safety during flipping.

[0022] The device described in this application has a compact structure, with close cooperation between its components, and stable and reliable operation. Through the transmission design of rack, pinion, and rotating cylinder, precise control of the clamping block is achieved, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the flipping action. Simultaneously, the application of elastic elements such as springs provides the device with a certain degree of cushioning during the flipping process, further improving the device's stability and durability.

[0023] By flipping the battery over, workers can easily observe the code information on the reverse side, quickly distinguishing between batteries containing silver and those not. This facilitates subsequent sorting and processing, helping to improve recycling efficiency and processing quality.

[0024] The device design of this application is flexible and can adapt to button batteries of different sizes and models. By adjusting the position of the clamping block and the size of the arc groove, it can meet the flipping requirements of batteries of different specifications, and has wide applicability.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Reference Figure 1-5A recycling device includes a horizontally positioned workbench 1 with a circular hole 6 inside. The diameter of the circular hole 6 is larger than the diameter of the button battery to be processed, ensuring that the battery can pass through smoothly. Support legs 4 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the workbench 1 to support the entire device. A protective plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top periphery of the workbench 1 to prevent the battery from falling off the edge of the workbench 1 during operation.

[0034] The bottom of the workbench 1 is equipped with a support assembly, including four fixed rods 5 vertically fixed to the bottom of the workbench 1. A limiting plate 8 is slidably fitted onto the outer walls of the four fixed rods 5, and the limiting plate 8 can slide freely along the axial direction of the fixed rods 5. A supporting circular block 9 is fixedly connected to the top center of the limiting plate 8, and the top of the supporting circular block 9 extends into the circular hole 6 of the workbench 1. Its top surface mates with the inner wall of the bottom of the workbench 1 to form a supporting surface for the button battery. A limiting block 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each fixed rod 5. Multiple first springs 10 are provided between the bottom of the limiting plate 8 and the top of the limiting block 11. The two ends of the first springs 10 abut against the bottom of the limiting plate 8 and the top of the limiting block 11 respectively through spring seats, providing elastic support for the supporting circular block 9.

[0035] A rectangular box 3 is fixedly connected to each of the two sides of the top of the workbench 1. A rotating cylinder 23 is rotatably inserted through one side of each rectangular box 3. Two symmetrically arranged strip blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 23 along the axial direction. A connecting rod 14 slides through the inside of the rotating cylinder 23. Two symmetrically arranged strip grooves 21 are formed on the outer wall of the connecting rod 14 along the axial direction. The strip blocks 22 are slidably connected in the corresponding strip grooves 21, so that the connecting rod 14 can slide along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 23 and rotate synchronously with the rotating cylinder 23. A circular plate 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting rod 14, and a clamping block 15 is fixedly connected to the other end. An arc-shaped groove 16 is formed on the side of the clamping block 15 facing the center of the workbench 1. The arc-shaped grooves 16 of the two clamping blocks 15 are arranged opposite each other for clamping button batteries. Relief grooves 7 communicating with the circular hole 6 are formed on both sides of the top of the workbench 1. The clamping blocks 15 are slidably connected in the relief grooves 7, so that the clamping blocks 15 can move laterally along the relief grooves 7.

[0036] This application can be used in the field of button batteries, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] refer to Figure 1-5An improvement on Embodiment 1: A waste button battery disassembly and recycling device, applied to the button battery field, includes a rectangular box 3 with a flipping assembly inside, comprising a clearance hole on the side wall of the rectangular box 3, through which a rack 17 slides. A push plate 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the rack 17, and a second spring 12 is positioned between the push plate 13 and the outer wall of the rectangular box 3. The two ends of the second spring 12 abut against the push plate 13 and the outer wall of the rectangular box 3 respectively via spring seats. A gear 24 is fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of a rotating cylinder 23, and the rack 17 meshes with the gear 24 for transmission. A sliding plate 19 is slidably connected between the two inner walls of the rectangular box 3. One side of the sliding plate 19 abuts against the outer edge of a circular plate 20, and the other side of the sliding plate 19 abuts against the inner wall of the rectangular box 3. The two ends of the third spring 18 abut against the sliding plate 19 and the inner wall of the rectangular box 3 respectively via spring seats.

[0039] In practice, workers place a batch of button batteries on top of workbench 1, with protective plate 2 effectively preventing the batteries from scattering. The presence of silver can be initially determined by observing the markings on the battery casing. When a battery is reversed, it is pushed between two clamping blocks 15. The battery edge presses against the clamping blocks 15, causing it to move laterally along the clearance groove 7. Connecting rod 14 drives circular plate 20 to compress third spring 18. When the battery is fully inserted between the two arc-shaped grooves 16, third spring 18 pushes sliding plate 19 to reset, causing clamping block 15 to clamp the battery. At this point, pressing push plate 13 causes rack 17 to move laterally and compress second spring 12. Rack 17 drives gear 24 to rotate rotating cylinder 23. Rotating cylinder 23, through the cooperation of strip block 22 and strip groove 21, drives connecting rod 14 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving clamping block 15 to clamp the battery and complete a 180-degree flip. During the flipping process, the clamping block 15 pushes the supporting block 9 downwards. The supporting block 9 then drives the limiting plate 8 down along the fixing rod 5 and compresses the first spring 10. After the flipping is complete, the first spring 10 pushes the supporting block 9 back to its original position, maintaining support for the battery. After releasing the push plate 13, the second spring 12 and the third spring 18 drive the rack 17 and the clamping block 15 back to their original positions, respectively, allowing the flipped batteries to be removed for sorting. The entire process achieves automatic flipping through a mechanical structure, significantly improving sorting efficiency and reducing manual labor intensity.

The dimensions and shapes of the components shown are not actual limitations but are merely schematic representations. In actual implementation, the components can be reasonably configured and adjusted according to specific needs and actual conditions.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
