Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrolyte recovery technology, and more specifically, it relates to a battery disassembly device that facilitates the collection of electrolyte. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy industry, the recycling and reuse of used batteries has become a crucial link in ensuring resource recycling and environmental protection. Disassembling used batteries to collect the electrolyte is a key step. As a vital component of batteries, improper handling of the electrolyte can not only waste resources but also cause serious environmental pollution and even pose safety hazards.

[0003] To ensure the safety of the electrolyte collection process and prevent explosions caused by static electricity or oxygen contact during battery disassembly, existing technologies generally adopt an inert gas protection scheme: the battery to be processed is placed in a sealed container and filled with inert gases such as nitrogen. The chemical inertness of these gases isolates the combustion-supporting conditions, thereby creating a safe electrolyte collection environment.

[0004] The existing electrolyte collection method based on sealed containers and inert gas protection has significant drawbacks. After the electrolyte inside a single battery is completely drained by gravity, the operator needs to open the sealed container to remove the processed battery and then insert a new battery to be processed for the next round of electrolyte collection. During this process, the opening of the sealed container causes a large amount of inert gas to leak into the external environment, resulting in a serious waste of inert gas and increasing the cost of battery dismantling and processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem that a large amount of inert gas leaks into the external environment when a battery with recovered electrolyte is removed from its container, this invention proposes a battery disassembly device that facilitates the collection of electrolyte, thereby overcoming 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 battery disassembly device for easy collection of electrolyte, including a collection container, a dynamic sealing component on the top of the collection container, two sealing ends of the dynamic sealing component, a clamping component between the two sealing ends, a lifting component on the outside of the collection container, the lifting end of the lifting component being connected to the dynamic sealing component, and a cutting component inside the collection container.

[0008] The clamping assembly is used to clamp and fix the battery, and the lifting assembly is used to move the sealing end downward so that the sealing end on the lower side moves the battery into the collection container, while the sealing end on the upper side seals the opening of the dynamic sealing assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the dynamic sealing assembly includes a sealing cap, which is fixedly installed on the top of the collection container. A sealing cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cap. An upper sealing disc is movably connected inside the sealing cylinder. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper sealing disc. A lower sealing disc is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. The top of the lower sealing disc is tapered.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a support rod, which is movably connected to a connecting plate. Two support rods are symmetrically arranged. One end of each support rod is fixedly connected to a clamping disc. The clamping disc has an internal mounting cavity. The inner wall of the mounting cavity has several moving grooves that extend to the outside of the clamping disc. A moving plate is movably connected inside the moving groove. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate. Several driving screws are rotatably connected to the corresponding moving plate inside the mounting cavity. The driving screws are threadedly connected to the corresponding moving plate.

[0011] Furthermore, one end of each of the plurality of drive screws is fixedly connected to a bevel gear, and the plurality of bevel gears mesh together. The other end of one of the drive screws passes through the clamping disc and is fixedly connected to a control disc.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the upper sealing disc has two pushing grooves, and a pushing plate is movably connected inside the pushing groove. The bottom of the pushing plate is fixedly connected to the support rod, and a T-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the top of the pushing plate. A double-headed motor is fixedly installed on the top of the upper sealing disc, and a pushing screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the double-headed motor. The pushing screw is threadedly connected to the corresponding T-shaped plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly installed on the back of the collection container. A lifting hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame, and a lifting frame is fixedly connected to the lifting end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder. One end of the lifting frame is fixedly installed on the top of the upper sealing plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the cutting assembly includes a robotic arm, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the collection container, and a cutting blade is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the robotic arm.

[0015] Furthermore, a circulation connecting pipe is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the collection container, and a collection pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the collection container.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model uses a lifting assembly to drive the two sealing ends to move upward synchronously. When the lower sealing end enters the dynamic sealing assembly, the upper sealing end moves out of the dynamic sealing assembly. At the same time, the battery fixed between the two sealing ends is moved out of the collection container through the dynamic sealing assembly. During this process, the upper sealing end seals the opening of the dynamic sealing assembly in the collection container, and the lower sealing end takes over the sealing after the battery is moved out of the container. This ensures that the opening of the dynamic sealing assembly is always closed during the entire battery replacement process, completely blocking the inert gas leakage path and significantly reducing gas loss and disassembly costs.

[0018] 2. In this invention, after the robotic arm and cutting blade complete the circumferential cutting of the battery casing, the dual-head motor drives the T-shaped plate to move through the push screws at the two output ends. This causes the clamping plate to move under the drive of the corresponding T-shaped plate. At this time, the distance between the two clamping plates increases, and the gap at the circumferential cutting position of the battery also increases. This setting allows the electrolyte inside the battery to be discharged quickly, thereby improving the electrolyte collection efficiency.

[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above 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 1-9As shown, this utility model is a battery disassembly device for easy collection of electrolyte, including a collection container 1. A dynamic sealing component 2 is provided on the top of the collection container 1. The dynamic sealing component 2 has two sealing ends. A clamping component 3 is provided between the two sealing ends. A lifting component 4 is provided on the outside of the collection container 1. The lifting end of the lifting component 4 is connected to the dynamic sealing component 2. A cutting component 5 is provided inside the collection container 1.

[0035] The clamping assembly 3 is used to clamp and fix the battery, and the lifting assembly 4 is used to drive the sealing end to move downward so that the sealing end on the lower side drives the battery to move into the collection container 1, while the sealing end on the upper side seals the opening of the dynamic sealing assembly 2.

[0036] After the electrolyte inside the battery is drained, the lifting assembly 4 drives the two sealing ends to move upward. When the lower sealing end moves into the dynamic sealing assembly 2, the upper sealing end can move out of the dynamic sealing assembly 2. At this time, as the two sealing ends continue to rise, the battery between them can be moved directly out of the dynamic sealing assembly 2. Then, the battery is removed from between the two sealing ends by driving the clamping assembly 3.

[0037] The lifting assembly 4 drives the two sealing ends to move upward synchronously. When the lower sealing end enters the dynamic sealing assembly 2, the upper sealing end moves out of the dynamic sealing assembly 2. At the same time, the battery fixed between the two sealing ends is moved out of the collection container 1 through the dynamic sealing assembly 2. During this process, the upper sealing end seals the opening of the dynamic sealing assembly 2 inside the collection container 1. After the battery is moved out of the container, the lower sealing end takes over the sealing. This ensures that the opening of the dynamic sealing assembly 2 is always closed throughout the battery replacement process, completely blocking the inert gas leakage path and significantly reducing gas loss and disassembly costs.

[0038] In one embodiment, the dynamic sealing assembly 2 includes a sealing cover 201, which is fixedly installed on the top of the collection container 1. A sealing cylinder 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover 201. An upper sealing disc 203 is movably connected inside the sealing cylinder 202. A connecting plate 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper sealing disc 203. A lower sealing disc 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 204. The top of the lower sealing disc 205 is tapered.

[0039] By moving the upper sealing disc 203 inside the sealing cylinder 202, the upper sealing disc 203 can drive the lower sealing disc 205 to move inside the collection container 1 via the connecting plate 204. After the lower sealing disc 205 moves into the sealing cylinder 202, the upper sealing disc 203 can move out of the sealing cylinder 202. As both move continuously, the battery between them can move out of the sealing cylinder 202. This setting allows the battery to be replaced normally, while the sealing cylinder 202 can always remain sealed. The lower sealing disc 205 has a conical top, which allows the electrolyte inside the battery to flow out quickly from the top of the lower sealing disc 205 under the guidance of the lower sealing disc 205.

[0040] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly 3 includes a support rod 301 movably connected to a connecting plate 204. Two support rods 301 are symmetrically arranged. One end of each support rod 301 is fixedly connected to a clamping disk 302. The clamping disk 302 has an installation cavity 303 inside. The inner wall of the installation cavity 303 has several moving grooves 304 extending to the outside of the clamping disk 302. A moving plate 305 is movably connected inside the moving groove 304. A clamping plate 306 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 305. Several driving screws 307 are rotatably connected inside the installation cavity 303 corresponding to the moving plate 305. The driving screws 307 are threadedly connected to the corresponding moving plate 305.

[0041] By placing the battery between two clamping discs 302 and then driving several drive screws 307, the drive screws 307 can drive the moving plate 305 to move inside the moving groove 304. The clamping plates 306 can move under the drive of the corresponding moving plate 305 and clamp and fix one end of the battery. The above arrangement allows the clamping plates 306 on the two clamping discs 302 to clamp and fix both ends of the battery, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the battery when the electrolyte is discharged inside the collection container 1.

[0042] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned drive screw 307, one end of each of the plurality of drive screws 307 is fixedly connected to a bevel gear 308, and the plurality of bevel gears 308 mesh together. The other end of one of the drive screws 307 passes through the clamping disk 302 and is fixedly connected to a control disk 309.

[0043] The control panel 309 can rotate one of the drive screws 307. The rotation of the drive screw 307 drives all the drive screws 307 to rotate synchronously through the meshing of the bevel gear 308. This allows several clamping plates 306 to move synchronously and clamp and fix one end of the battery. This setting makes it convenient to operate, as only the control panel 309 needs to be rotated when clamping and fixing one end of the battery.

[0044] In one embodiment, for the upper sealing disc 203, two push grooves 310 are formed on the top of the upper sealing disc 203. A push plate 311 is movably connected inside the push groove 310. The bottom of the push plate 311 is fixedly connected to the support rod 301. A T-shaped plate 312 is fixedly connected to the top of the push plate 311. A dual-head motor 313 is fixedly installed on the top of the upper sealing disc 203. A push screw 314 is fixedly connected to the output end of the dual-head motor 313. The push screw 314 is threadedly connected to the corresponding T-shaped plate 312.

[0045] The threads on the two push screws 314 are arranged in opposite directions. When clamping the battery, the dual-head motor 313 is driven, and the dual-head motor 313 drives the T-shaped plate 312 to move through the push screws 314 at the two output ends. The push plate 311, driven by the corresponding T-shaped plate 312, can drive the support rod 301 to slide on the connecting plate 204, thereby separating the distance between the two clamping discs 302. The above arrangement allows the battery to move normally between several clamping plates 306 when clamping and fixing the battery, so that the two clamping discs 302 can properly clamp and fix both ends of the battery. At the same time, after completing the circumferential cutting of the battery shell, moving the two clamping discs 302 can increase the gap at the cut position of the battery shell, which allows the electrolyte inside the battery to be discharged better. When the T-shaped plate 312 moves, it can always block the push groove 310, thereby ensuring the overall sealing effect of the upper sealing disc 203.

[0046] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly 4 includes a mounting frame 401, which is fixedly mounted on the back of the collection container 1. A lifting hydraulic cylinder 402 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 401. A lifting frame 403 is fixedly connected to the lifting end of the lifting hydraulic cylinder 402. One end of the lifting frame 403 is fixedly mounted on the top of the upper sealing plate 203.

[0047] By driving the lifting hydraulic cylinder 402, the lifting hydraulic cylinder 402 drives the upper sealing plate 203 to slide automatically inside the sealing cylinder 202 via the lifting frame 403. At the same time, the upper sealing plate 203 drives the clamped battery out from inside the collection container 1 via the connecting plate 204.

[0048] In one embodiment, the cutting assembly 5 includes a robotic arm 501, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the collection container 1, and a cutting blade 502 is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the robotic arm 501.

[0049] The two cutting blades 502 on the two robotic arms 501 work together to make a circumferential cut on the battery casing. At this time, because several clamping plates 306 on the two clamping disks 302 clamp and fix the two ends of the battery, the two clamping disks 302 can pull the battery to both sides. At the same time, the gap at the circumferential cut position can be increased, so that the electrolyte inside the battery can be discharged quickly.

[0050] In one embodiment, for the collection container 1, both the left and right sides of the collection container 1 are fixedly connected to a circulation connecting pipe 6, and the bottom of the collection container 1 is fixedly connected to a collection pipe 7.

[0051] One side of the collection container 1 is connected to a gas source via a circulation pipe 6, and the other side of the collection container 1 is connected to a gas source via a purifier via a circulation pipe 6. When collecting electrolyte, the gas source can transport inert gas to the inside of the collection container 1 through the corresponding circulation pipe 6. The inert gas inside the collection container 1 and the irritating odor generated by the discharge of electrolyte flow to the inside of the purifier through the circulation pipe 6 on the other side. At this time, the purifier can eliminate and purify the irritating odor. The purified inert gas then flows back to the inside of the gas source, and the above process is repeated continuously. When the electrolyte falls into the inside of the collection container 1, it can be discharged from the inside of the collection container 1 through the collection pipe 7 under the guidance of the bottom of the collection container 1.

[0052] Through the above technical solution, 1. The lifting assembly 4 drives the two sealing ends to move upward synchronously. When the lower sealing end enters the dynamic sealing assembly 2, the upper sealing end moves out of the dynamic sealing assembly 2. At the same time, the battery fixed between the two sealing ends is moved out of the collection container 1 through the dynamic sealing assembly 2. During this process, the upper sealing end seals the opening of the dynamic sealing assembly 2 inside the collection container 1, and the lower sealing end takes over the sealing after the battery is removed from the container. This ensures that the opening of the dynamic sealing assembly 2 remains closed throughout the battery replacement process, completely blocking the inert gas leakage path. 1. Significantly reduces gas loss and disassembly costs; 2. After the battery casing is circumferentially cut by the robotic arm 501 and the cutting blade 502, the dual-head motor 313 drives the T-shaped plate 312 to move through the push screws 314 at the two output ends. This causes the push plate 311 to move the clamping plate 302 under the drive of the corresponding T-shaped plate 312. At this time, the distance between the two clamping plates 302 increases, and the gap at the circumferential cut position of the battery also increases. This setting allows the electrolyte inside the battery to be discharged quickly, thereby improving the electrolyte collection efficiency.
