The lower part of the slideway 210 is hollowed out, and the finger-shaped body 150 is inserted into the slideway 210 through the hollowed-out part below the slideway 210. There are two finger-shaped bodies 150, and the two finger-shaped bodies 150 are arranged side by side in the length direction of the battery to push the battery to move.

[0022] The peeling mechanism includes a torque motor 310, a universal joint 320, a torque transmission rod 340, a driving roller 350 and a driven roller, wherein the driving roller 350 and the driven roller are arranged at the end of the slideway 210, and the driving roller 350 and the driven roller cooperate to form a peeling working position, and the power end of the torque motor 310 is connected to the driving roller 350 through the torque transmission rod 340 and the universal joint 320 and can drive the driving roller 350 to roll.

[0023] A mounting plate 360 ​​is provided at the peeling work position, and a color sensor 370 for detecting the color of the outer skin of the battery is provided on the mounting plate 360 ​​.

[0024] The battery peeling mechanism also includes a battery recovery track, which includes a first material receiving channel 410 for recovering peeled batteries, a second material receiving channel 420 for recovering NG materials, and a first pushing cylinder 430 and a second pushing cylinder 440 for pushing the batteries respectively, wherein the first material receiving channel 410 and the second material receiving channel 420 are both provided with battery entrances and are arranged in sequence with the peeling work station, the protruding end of the first pushing cylinder 430 is arranged in the first material receiving channel 410, and the protruding end of the second pushing cylinder 440 is arranged in the second material receiving channel 420; the side of the peeling work station is also provided with a lateral push rod 380 for pushing the battery laterally into the battery recovery track.

[0025] A first baffle 220 is provided near the peeling position of the slideway 210 to prevent the battery from bursting out.

[0026] A second baffle 450 for preventing the battery from bursting out is disposed near the battery entrance of the first receiving channel 410 and the second receiving channel 420 .

[0027] Specifically, before using the device, the device is adjusted to a suitable working state. After the battery enters the slideway 210, the lifting cylinder 140 first extends to drive the finger-shaped body 150 to rise through the hollow position under the slideway 210 and enter the slideway 210. Then the pusher motor 110 rotates to drive the screw rod to rotate. At this time, the screw rod and the slider assembly 130 cooperate to enable the slider to move on the slide rail, thereby driving the finger-shaped body 150 to move in the slideway 210 and push the battery to the peeling working position.

[0028] The active roller 350 and the driven roller on the peeling work station cooperate to remove the outer skin of the battery. The battery in this embodiment is a cylindrical battery.

[0029] The torque motor 310 drives the active roller 350 to roll through the torque transmission rod 340. The outer skins of the active roller 350 and the driven roller can be made of elastic materials, such as rubber. After the peeling work is completed, the color of the outer layer of the battery is detected by the color sensor 370 arranged on the mounting plate 360. If the peeling is completed, the battery is pushed into the first material receiving channel 410 through the lateral push rod 380. If the peeling is unqualified, the battery is pushed into the second push cylinder 440 to form NG material.

[0030] When the battery enters the first receiving channel 410 or the second receiving channel 420, the first pushing cylinder 430 and the second pushing cylinder 440 push the battery to the tail of the first receiving channel 410 or the second receiving channel 420 to facilitate recycling by the lower mechanism.

[0031] In this embodiment, the slider assembly 130 also has a spring 160 for buffering the lifting cylinder 140. The spring 160 can make the connection between the slider assembly 130 and the lifting cylinder 140 an elastic connection. Its function is that when the finger-shaped body 150 contacts the battery, it is a flexible contact to avoid scratching the battery surface, and when the finger-shaped body 150 presses the battery to the peeling working position, the battery peeling effect is easier.

[0032] The device can automatically load materials to the working position, push the battery to the peeling working position through the finger-shaped body 150, and then remove the battery outer skin through the cooperation of the active roller 350 and the driven roller when the battery is driven by the torque motor 310, and then push the peeled battery into the battery recovery track through the lateral push rod 380, and can classify NG materials and normal materials through two sets of tracks. The device has a high degree of intelligence and can adapt to the rapid peeling and recovery of various types of batteries.

[0033] This machine is used for automatic peeling of cylindrical batteries. It mainly adopts advanced laser technology to cut the battery skin, and cooperates with a stable and reliable peeling mechanism to realize automatic peeling, automatic separation of battery cells and skins, and classified collection and storage.

[0034] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention.
