[0003] Patents CN201010269217.4, CN201410164190.0 and CN201510545470.0 are mechanically cut with saw blades and are noisy, suitable for cutting large-sized square batteries, but not suitable for small-sized cylindrical batteries;
[0004] For example, the patent CN201510714591.3 is a cutting machine for non-destructively dismantling cylindrical batteries with metal shells, which realizes ring cutting of cylindrical batteries, but the cells of secondary batteries (rechargeable batteries) swell after use, and are closely attached to the shell. Very tight, it is quite difficult to remove the battery
[0005] For example, the patent CN201420711284.4 has completed the cutting of the electrode head and the bottom of the 18650 battery. Due to the expansion of the battery cell of the waste battery, the battery cell cannot be guaranteed to be 100% ejected from the shell.
[0006] For example, the patent CN201620223796.1 realizes laser cutting on one side of the square battery shell, which is used for repairing defective products in the production process of square batteries. At this time, the battery cells can be easily taken out after cutting.
If it is used to cut the discarded cylindrical battery case, it is not easy to take out the battery cell from the case because the cell expands and clings to the case
[0007] Patent CN201520259903. The water jet cutting method cuts the battery, and the penetrating cutting damages the battery cell, electrolyte and some electrode materials to be disposed of in the water, and the cost is high

Embodiment 1

[0026] The 18650 lithium battery (diameter 18mm, height 65mm) is slid to the battery sensing position through the chute. The sensor of the sensing battery detects the battery signal, and the lifting cylinder pushes the battery sensing position up, raising the battery to the clamping position, and the battery is raised to the clamp Hold the position signal, clamp the cylinder action, clamp the battery and give the clamping signal, the stepping rotating motor that gets the signal drives the clamping device to drive the battery to rotate while the laser head does the cutting action, and the clamp is controlled by the program Rotation and laser cutting are carried out synchronously. First, circumscribe the two ends, cut directly through the middle, and then perform circumcision of the rest until the cutting is completed.

Embodiment 2

[0028] The nickel-metal hydride battery 2100A (diameter 17mm, height 50mm) slides to the battery sensing position through the chute. The sensor of the sensing battery detects the battery signal, and the lifting cylinder pushes the battery sensing position up, raising the battery to the clamping position, and the battery is raised to The signal of the clamping position, the clamping cylinder moves, clamping the battery and giving the clamping signal, the servo rotating motor that gets the signal drives the clamping device to drive the battery to rotate while the laser head does the cutting action, and the clamp is controlled by the program Rotation and laser cutting are performed synchronously. First, circumscribe one end, then circulate the other end, and finally complete direct cutting.

Embodiment 3

[0030] The No. 5 nickel-cadmium battery (diameter 14.5mm, height 50.5mm) slides to the battery sensing position through the chute, the sensor of the sensing battery detects the battery signal, and the lifting cylinder pushes the battery sensing position up, and the battery is raised to the clamping position. The signal that the battery rises to the clamping position, the clamping cylinder moves, clamping the battery and giving a clamping signal, the stepping rotating motor that receives the signal drives the clamping device to drive the battery to rotate, and the laser head does the cutting action. The rotation of the program-controlled fixture is synchronized with the laser cutting. First, circular cutting is performed at both ends, interspersed to cut directly, and then the rest of the circular cutting is performed. After the circular cutting is completed, a straight line cutting is performed.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cylindrical battery case cutting method, which comprises: annularly cutting both ends of a cylindrical battery case and linearly cutting along the axial case of the cylindrical battery by using a laser device, wherein the battery case is opened in a stretch manner after the annular cutting and the linear cutting are performed on the cylindrical battery case so as to easily take out the electric core of the cylindrical battery. According to the present invention, with the application of the laser to cut the battery case, the advantages of rapidness, low noise and less damage on the electric core can be achieved, the large-scale automatic production can be formed, and after the battery case is cut, the case material is completely separated in advance so as to drastically reduce the consumption of the wet recovery extractant and maximize the recycling benefits.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for cutting cylindrical battery shells, which belongs to electronic waste processing technology. Background technique [0002] Lithium-ion battery (Lithium-ion battery), Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries are rechargeable batteries (secondary batteries), which are widely used in consumer electronics (such as mobile phones, notebook computers, etc.), military, pure electric vehicles and aviation aerospace. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery can generally be charged and discharged 800 to 1000 times. If you charge and discharge once a day, the life of a lithium-ion battery is 2 years. With the widespread application of lithium-ion batteries in China, the annual output has grown from 1.6 billion in 2010 to 5.2 billion in 2014, resulting in a large number of waste lithium-ion batteries. A large amount of toxic rare metal cobalt, but because cobalt is an important strategic metal, the current research comparing spent lithium-ion batteri...
