When the cell separation operation is performed, the single battery with the cut cover plate needs to be turned over first, the shell is taken out by using the suction cup or the mechanical hand to separate the cell from the shell, and then the subsequent disassembling operation is performed. However, in the turning over process of the single battery, the currently used battery disassembling device is prone to the situation that the cell directly falls off, thereby causing the cell to be damaged.

[0046] Embodiment one

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 The application provides a battery disassembly device for separating the shell 101 of the monomer battery 100 after cutting off the cover plate and the battery core. Specifically, the monomer battery 100 includes a cover plate, a shell 101 and a battery core. The shell 101 is a hollow structure with one end open. The cover plate covers the open end of the shell 101. The shell 101 includes a side wall and a bottom plate. The side wall is clamped between the bottom plate and the cover plate. The battery core is arranged inside the shell 101. The battery disassembly device includes a turnover mechanism 10, a clamping mechanism 20 and a separation mechanism 30. Wherein:

[0048] As shown in Figure 2 The turnover mechanism 10 includes a support 11 and a turnover platform 12 rotatably connected to the support 11. The turnover platform 12 can rotate around the support 11. The support 11 can be stably placed on a table top or the ground. Preferably, the length of the turnover platform 12 along the first direction X is greater than the length along the second direction Y.

[0049] As shown in Figure 3As shown, the clamping mechanism 20 is arranged on the turnover platform 12 and can rotate with the turnover platform 12 around the support 11, and the clamping mechanism 20 is used to clamp the single battery 100 after the cover plate is cut off, so as to avoid the single battery 100 from falling off in the process of turning over the turnover platform 12. Specifically, the clamping mechanism 20 includes a support arm 22, a clamping assembly and a clamping assembly. The clamping assembly is connected to the turnover platform 12 in the first direction X and is configured to clamp the opposite sides of the single battery 100. When the clamping assembly clamps the single battery 100, a certain clamping gap is reserved to facilitate the subsequent separation of the shell 101 and the cell. The clamping assembly is connected to the turnover platform 12 in the first direction X and is configured to clamp the shell 101 and the cell of the single battery 100, so as to tightly connect the cell and the shell 101 together, thereby avoiding the cell from falling off from the shell 101 in the turning process. The support arm 22 is connected to one end of the turnover platform 12 in the second direction Y. In the turning process, the cell is limited by the support arm 22 to avoid being thrown out in the rotation process. The second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0050] The separation mechanism 30 is arranged on one side of the support 11. The separation mechanism 30 is configured to separate the shell 101 and the cell. The separation mechanism 30 can be a suction cup or a mechanical hand as long as it can separate the shell 101 and the cell.

[0051] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6 to Figure 8 In use, the single battery 100 with the cut-off cover plate is placed on the turnover platform 12, and the open end (one end of the cut-off cover plate) of the shell 101 of the single battery 100 abuts against the support arm 22. The clamping assembly is driven to clamp the opposite sides of the single battery 100, and a small gap (about 1 mm) is formed between the clamping assembly and the single battery 100, so as to ensure that there is an assembly gap between the shell 101 and the cell. Then, the clamping assembly is driven to clamp the shell 101 and the cell of the single battery 100, that is, the inner surface of the shell 101 and the outer peripheral surface of the cell are tightly fitted together, so as to connect the shell 101 and the cell into one body. Then, the turnover platform 12 is rotated relative to the support 11, so that the turnover platform 12 is vertically arranged, and the open end of the shell 101 faces downward. In the turning process, the single battery 100 is limited in the first direction X by the clamping assembly, and the single battery 100 is supported in the second direction Y by the support arm 22, and the cell and the shell 101 are tightly pressed into one body by the locking assembly, so that the cell does not fall off from the shell 101 in the turning process. Finally, the clamping assembly is loosened to restore the assembly gap between the shell 101 and the cell. Then, the shell 101 is grabbed by the separation mechanism 30 to smoothly separate the shell 101 and the cell.

[0052] The battery disassembling device of the present application, in the process of overturning the single battery 100, the single battery 100 is pre-pressed by the clamping assembly to preliminarily limit the single battery 100 on the overturning platform 12, at this time, there is an assembly gap between the shell 101 of the single battery 100 and the battery cell, then the shell 101 and the battery cell are pressed by the clamping assembly to make the battery cell and the shell 101 tightly integrated, and the single battery 100 is supported in the second direction by the supporting arm 22, so that the battery cell does not separate from the shell 101 in the overturning process, and in the subsequent separation operation, only the clamping assembly is loosened, the assembly gap between the shell 101 and the battery cell can be restored, so that the separation mechanism 30 can smoothly separate the battery cell and the shell 101, and the separated battery cell and shell can be recycled.

During the turnover process, the single battery 100 is limited in the first direction X by the cooperation of the limiting plate 21 and the clamping arm 23, the single battery 100 is supported in the second direction Y by the supporting arm 22, and the battery cell does not separate from the shell 101 during the turnover process by the cooperation of the limiting plate 21 and the locking arm 24. Finally, the locking arm 24 moves away from the limiting plate 21 so that the shell 101 is separated from the battery cell, thereby restoring the assembly gap between the shell 101 and the battery cell. The separation mechanism 30 can smoothly separate the shell 101 from the battery cell.

[0091] Step 240, drive the clamping assembly to clamp the opposite two sides of the single battery, and form a preset gap between the clamping assembly and the single battery, specifically, the clamping assembly comprises a limiting plate and a clamping arm, drive the clamping arm to move towards the limiting plate, so that one side surface of the shell along the first direction is in close contact with the limiting plate, and a preset gap is formed between the other side surface of the shell along the first direction and the clamping arm, that is, the clamping arm moves towards the limiting plate to push the shell to be in close contact with the limiting plate, and then moves away from the limiting plate to form a smaller preset gap with the shell, so as to facilitate the separating mechanism to smoothly grab the shell after the single battery is turned over, thereby separating the shell from the battery cell, of course, the one side surface of the shell along the first direction can also be in close contact with the limiting plate when the single battery is placed, so that the clamping arm only needs to be moved to form a preset gap with the other side surface of the shell along the first direction;

[0092] Step 260, drive the clamping assembly to clamp the shell and the battery cell of the single battery, specifically, the clamping assembly comprises a locking arm, drive the locking arm to move towards the limiting plate, so that the shell is in close contact with the battery cell in the interior of the shell, that is, the shell and the battery cell are tightly integrated by the cooperation of the locking arm and the limiting plate, to ensure that the shell does not fall off the turnover platform and the battery cell does not fall out of the shell during the turnover process;

[0093] Step 280, drive the turnover platform to rotate, so that one side of the cut-off cover plate of the single battery faces downward, that is, the open end of the shell faces downward, at this time, the turnover platform is vertically arranged, and the bottom plate of the shell faces upward, to facilitate the separating mechanism to grab the shell;

[0094] Step 300, drive the clamping assembly to move, so that a gap is formed between the shell and the battery cell, specifically, drive the locking arm to move away from the limiting plate, so that the shell is no longer limited by the locking arm, and the assembly gap between the shell and the battery cell is restored;

[0095] Step 320, drive the separation mechanism to separate the shell from the battery cell, specifically, the separation mechanism is taken away from the bottom of the shell, at this time the battery cell is left in the inside of the clamping mechanism, thus, the separation of the shell and the battery cell is realized, and the separated shell and battery cell are not damaged and can be recycled.

[0096] The battery disassembly method of the application adopts the above-mentioned battery disassembly device, so that the battery cell cannot be separated from the shell during the turning process, and the shell and the battery cell are not damaged, so that the separated battery cell and shell can be recycled.

[0097] Further, the preset interval is 0.5mm~1.5mm, preferably, the preset interval is 1mm, of course, the preset interval can also be 0.8mm or 1.2mm, so that the clamping arm can limit the single battery and will not affect the separation operation of the shell and the battery cell.

[0098] In summary, the battery disassembly device of the application, in the process of turning the single battery, the single battery is preliminarily positioned on the turning platform by the clamping assembly, at this time, there is an assembly gap between the shell and the battery cell of the single battery, then the shell and the battery cell are pressed tightly by the clamping assembly to tightly adhere the battery cell and the shell into a whole, and the single battery is supported in the second direction by the supporting arm, so that the battery cell will not be separated from the shell during the turning process, and in the subsequent separation operation, only the clamping assembly needs to be loosened to restore the assembly gap between the shell and the battery cell, so that the separation mechanism can smoothly separate the battery cell and the shell, and the separated battery cell and shell can be recycled;

[0099] The battery disassembly device of the application sets the pressing plate, so that the shell of the single battery can be clamped between the pressing plate and the turning platform, so that the pressing plate can limit the surface of the single battery facing away from the turning platform, thereby effectively preventing the single battery from tilting during the turning process;

[0100] The battery disassembly device of the application drives the turning platform to rotate relative to the support through the cooperation of the gear and the rack, which can accurately control the turning angle of the turning platform, so as to accurately position the position of the single battery, so that the separation mechanism can accurately grasp the shell, and then the shell and the battery cell are smoothly separated.

[0101] The battery disassembly method of the application adopts the above-mentioned battery disassembly device, so that the battery cell cannot be separated from the shell during the turning process, and the shell and the battery cell are not damaged, so that the separated battery cell and shell can be recycled.
