[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power battery disassembly, in particular to power battery disassembly equipment. Background Art

[0002] The disassembly and recycling of power batteries is mainly aimed at power batteries with serious capacity loss and cannot be used any longer. Only by disassembling them can valuable resources be recovered, such as rare metals such as cobalt and nickel. Extracting valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium from waste power batteries for recycling can avoid the risks of upstream raw material scarcity and price fluctuations to a certain extent, and reduce the production cost of power batteries. At present, when disassembling power batteries, it is necessary to disassemble the outer shell of the power battery first. In order to achieve waterproof, moisture-proof, and explosion-proof, some power batteries use an integrally stretched metal shell. In this way, when disassembling such power batteries, it is necessary to cut the outer shell. In the prior art, when cutting it, it is done manually with handheld cutting equipment. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to battery explosion, causing personal injury, and has a low safety factor. Summary of the invention

The push block can be pushed by the second electric telescopic cylinder to eject the disassembled power battery. Such disassembly equipment can reduce manual disassembly, speed up disassembly efficiency, and because it is in a confined space during disassembly, disassembly safety can be guaranteed.
