Description

Battery sorting device.

The invention relates to a device of battery classification.

In the framework of the classification of batteries, for guarantee the required classification quality, are used cell detection sensors for clear association of electrochemical systems (see, for example, the document EP-A-0 761 311).

For the safe operation of these sensors a previous separation of the batteries in round cells is necessary (bar-shaped cells with round cross-section, as per example round cells, monocellular round cells and cells round size AA) as well as prismatic cells (shape cells rectangular, such as 9V block).

Battery sorting devices known comprise sieves (see, for example, the document DE-A-431086 of different sizes of grain or diameters

However, classification devices batteries of this type are not suitable for cell separation round and prismatic cells, since the height or width of prismatic cells correspond to the diameters of the cells round or is almost like these.

The document EP-A-0 119 443 describes a device for the classification of a general mixture of waste, in which a mixture of waste is eventually placed preclassified on a rotating disk with an inclined axis of rotation, where the heavy parts of the waste mix slide in the direction of the inclined position from the disc and wheels and the lighter parts, namely paper, remain first on the rotating disk and are unloaded with a rigid scraper, which can be optionally supported through a device of blowing or suction.

EP 0 158 793 A describes a device for sorting a waste mix according to the size of the components, where a discharge belt, placed at a distance above the conveyor belt, which corresponds to the classification size, shifts off the tape transporter those objects that collide with it by virtue of its height.

Document DE 860 566 C describes a device, by means of which objects of size are separated similar, but in a different way, namely stones and potatoes, the objects being placed on a rotating disk with an axis of inclined turn and highly polished surface, after which objects with reduced friction, namely potatoes, roll from the rotating disk and objects with higher friction, to know, the stones, remain first on the disk rotating and are unloaded by a fixed scraper plate.

Document DE 498 085 C describes a device, by means of which objects of size are separated similar, but in a different way, namely round fruits of different quality, where objects are placed on a disk swivel with inclined axis of rotation, after which the objects with less friction they roll from the rotating disk and the objects with higher friction remain first on the rotating disc and are unloaded by a fixed scraper plate.

The purpose of the present invention is to indicate a favorable cost battery sorting device and simple in terms of construction, which guarantees a separation Reliable round cells and prismatic cells.

This task is solved through a battery sorting device with the characteristics of the claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are Subject of the dependent claims. In this way, it can separate round cells and prismatic cells placed on the disk to each other largely according to types cigars

Under the inclined position of the disk Due to its horizontal inclination, all batteries are forced so to speak, with the consequence that the cells round fall on its round enveloping surface and can roll downward while the cells binoculars remain so to speak adhered to the disk and with the rotation of the disk up they arrive in ascending direction to the separator, which downloads them in operative connection with the rotating disk

To ensure the most consistent download and safe from prismatic cells, the separator comprises a strap rotationally operable discharge. Discharge belt in this case it assumes a drag function and transports the cells Binoculars in radial direction.

If the disk is provided on the side of the periphery with a discharge ring, which has distributed holes on the periphery, round cells and cells can be downloaded Binoculars in predetermined places.

The exit hole for round cells it is preferably arranged in the region of the deep point of the disk and discharge hole for prismatic cells is preferably arranged in the region of the high point of the disc.

The invention is explained in detail below. with the help of an embodiment example, represented in a way schematic in the figures, of a classification device of batteries

Figure 1 schematically shows a projection view on a classification device batteries

Figure 2 schematically shows a section of the battery classification device of the figure one.

The battery sorting device represented in figures 1 and 2 comprises a disk 1 provided rotationally operable, which is inclined relative to the horizontal Above disk 1 a separator 2 is arranged which extends from the center of the disk to the edge of the disk. The separator 2 is provided stationary fixed against the disk 1 and extends in the region of the high point of the disc 1. The separator 2 comprises a discharge belt 6 that can be rotatably actuated, which is deflected on a deflection roller and whose direction of transport is directed radially outward. Disk 1 is surrounded by a discharge ring 3. The discharge ring 3 is provided in the region of the deep point of disk 1 with a hole 4 for the discharge of round cells and in the region of the high point of disc 1 with a hole 5 for cell discharge binoculars The loading region 7 is provided in the region of the high point of disc 1 behind separator 2.

For the classification of a mixture of batteries, place the mixture of batteries on a transport device in the disc loading region 1.

Due to the inclined position of disc 1, all the round cells now swing on their enveloping surface and they roll over disk 1 in the low point region in front of the hole 4, while the prismatic cells move along say it in front of hole 4 on disk 1.

Prismatic cells finally come through of the rotary movement of disc 1 to scraper 2 and are transported there by the discharge belt 6 in collaboration with the rotating movement towards hole 5 and are discharged to through this one.
