Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of battery recycling, and in particular to an aluminum shell battery discharge and cutting integrated machine. Background Art

[0002] With the promotion and use of electric vehicles, more and more power batteries are scrapped; the problem that follows is the recycling and treatment of waste power batteries. The power batteries used in electric vehicles contain metal materials and electrolytes such as lead, nickel, cobalt, and lithium. Therefore, waste power batteries are a kind of valuable urban mineral. Once the discarded batteries cannot be effectively recycled, it will not only cause a waste of resources, but also cause certain pollution to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle and treat waste power batteries, such as Figure 1 As shown, during processing, the battery is usually placed in a transfer frame, then transported to a discharge device for discharge, and then the battery is taken out of the transfer frame and transported to the cutting device via a conveyor belt to cut one end of the battery shell, and then a hole is drilled at the other end of the shell and a pushing device is used to push the battery cell out of the battery shell, thereby completing the separation of the battery cell and the shell.

[0003] A Chinese patent document with authorization announcement number CN110756558B discloses a new energy power battery recycling device, including a workbench, a control box is installed on one side of the front surface of the workbench, and a pressing mechanism for pressing scrapped batteries, a cutting mechanism for cutting and pressing scrapped batteries, a core pushing mechanism for pushing the scrapped battery core material after cutting, and a conveying mechanism for conveying the pushed core material are installed on the workbench; through the technical solution proposed by the invention, an integrated cutting and coring process of scrapped batteries is realized, and at the same time, through the designed and installed collection trough and conveying device, the classified collection of power battery core materials and shells is realized, which greatly reduces the use of manpower, and at the same time reduces the direct contact between manpower and scrapped batteries, ensuring the safety of recycled batteries.

[0004] The existing solution requires that the battery be taken out of the transport frame and then cut when processing the battery. Moreover, when the battery cell is pushed out of the shell, the shell needs to be pressed, so the friction force on the battery cell is large, which can easily damage the battery cell. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides an aluminum shell battery discharge cutting integrated machine, aiming to solve the problem in the related art that when processing the battery, the battery needs to be cut and the battery core needs to be pushed out, which causes troublesome steps and damages the battery core.

[0006] An aluminum shell battery discharge and cutting integrated machine, comprising a transfer frame, a discharge device, a cutting device and a pusher device, wherein the transfer frame comprises:

[0007] A frame shell, wherein a plurality of jacks in a rectangular array are arranged on the top surface of the frame shell;

[0008] Two clamping plates, the two clamping plates overlap and are horizontally slidably connected to each other, the two clamping plates are slidably installed in the frame shell up and down, and a lifting drive source is installed between the two, and a plurality of through holes corresponding to the jacks for allowing the battery to pass through are opened on the clamping plates, and a suction cup for fixing the battery is installed on one side wall of the through hole, and the suction cups on the two clamping plates are arranged oppositely;

[0009] Two support brackets are installed at the bottom end of the frame shell and are used to support the two ends of the bottom surface of the battery respectively. The two support brackets are arranged to slide horizontally with each other and are slidably connected to the frame shell. An elastic member is connected between the frame shell and the support brackets.

[0010] A clamping control assembly is installed in the frame shell and is used to control the relative sliding of the two clamping plates so that the suction cup is close to the battery;

[0011] The support control assembly is installed in the frame shell and is used to control the relative sliding of the two support brackets so as to change the size of the gap between the support brackets.

[0012] The effect is that when the discharge plate is pressed on the top of the battery, the elastic part is stretched by the pressure, so that the support bracket is lowered. This arrangement provides a buffering effect to prevent the discharge plate from directly contacting the battery, causing the top of the battery to be subjected to a large force and deformed. When the top and bottom of the battery are cut off, when the pushing device pushes out the battery cell, the two clamping plates move, so that the overlapping area of ​​the through holes on the two clamping plates becomes larger, so that the suction cups on both sides of the battery shell move to both sides respectively, so that the battery shell is slightly deformed, thereby reducing the friction between the inner wall of the battery shell and the battery cell, and then the push rod pushes the battery cell out of the battery shell, reducing the friction when the battery cell is pushed out, and reducing the occurrence of damage to the battery cell.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping control component is a telescopic driving source 1, which is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the frame shell. The telescopic driving source 1 has two telescopic ends and is respectively connected to two clamping plates. The effect is that the suction cups on the two clamping plates are controlled by the two telescopic ends of the telescopic driving source 1 to move closer to each other to clamp the battery, or move away from each other to release the battery.

[0014] Preferably, the support control component is a telescopic drive source 2, which is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the frame shell, and has two telescopic ends which are respectively connected to the two support brackets.

[0015] Preferably, support parts are provided at the bottom of both sides of the frame shell, which has the effect that a certain distance exists between the bottom surface of the frame shell and the workbench through the support parts, thereby facilitating cutting of the bottom of the battery.

[0016] Preferably, the lifting drive source is an electric telescopic rod, and both ends of the electric telescopic rod are respectively connected to one of the supporting brackets and the frame shell.

[0017] Preferably, a transport device for transporting the transfer frame is installed between the discharge device, the cutting device and the pushing device, and the effect is that the transfer frame is transported to different processes through the transport device.

[0018] Preferably, the cutting device comprises two cutting parts, which are arranged one above the other and are used to cut the top and the bottom of the battery respectively. The effect is that the top and the bottom of the battery are cut simultaneously by the two cutting parts.

[0019] Preferably, the pushing device includes a plurality of push rods arranged corresponding to the sockets.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] The transfer frame is first filled with batteries, and then transported to the discharge device position. When the discharge plate is pressed on the top of the battery, the elastic member is stretched by pressure, thereby causing the support frame to descend. This arrangement provides a buffering effect to prevent the discharge plate from directly contacting the battery, causing the top of the battery to be subjected to a large force and deformed. Then the transfer frame is transported to the cutting device position, and the support frame is separated from the contact with the bottom of the battery. The support frame rises under the action of the elastic member, thereby exposing the bottom of the battery. The two cutting parts cut the top and bottom of the battery respectively. Then the transfer frame moves to the pushing device position, and the push rod is against the battery cell. At the same time, the suction cups on both sides of the battery shell move to both sides respectively, thereby causing a slight deformation of the battery shell, thereby reducing the friction between the inner wall of the battery shell and the battery cell. Then the push rod pushes the battery cell out of the battery shell. Finally, the suction cup no longer applies suction to the battery shell, and the battery shell falls out of the transfer frame. Each process is repeated in this way. This arrangement prevents the battery from being taken out of the transfer frame and then cutting and pushing the battery cell, thereby simplifying the process and reducing the friction of the battery cell when it is pushed out, thereby reducing the occurrence of damage to the battery cell.

[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0034] like Figure 2-Figure 9 As shown, an aluminum shell battery discharge and cutting integrated machine includes a transfer frame 1, a discharge device 2, a cutting device 3, a pusher device 4 and a transport device 5. The battery is placed in the transfer frame 1 and then transported to different stations by the transport device 5. When located at the discharge device 2 station, the discharge device 2 releases the remaining power in the battery to avoid safety problems in subsequent cutting. Then, it reaches the cutting device 3 to cut off the top and bottom of the battery, and then the pusher device 4 separates the battery cell and the battery shell.

[0035] The transfer frame 1 includes a frame shell 11, two clamping plates 12 installed in the frame shell 11, two supporting brackets 13 installed in the frame shell 11, a clamping control component 14 for controlling the relative sliding of the two clamping plates 12, and a supporting control component 15 for controlling the relative sliding of the two supporting brackets 13. A plurality of sockets in a rectangular array are arranged on the top surface of the frame shell 11, and support parts are arranged on the bottom of both sides of the frame shell 11.

[0036] The two clamping plates 12 overlap and are connected to each other horizontally and slideably. The two clamping plates 12 are installed in the frame shell 11 for sliding up and down, and a lifting drive source 122 is installed between the two. The lifting drive source 122 is an electric telescopic rod. The top of the electric telescopic rod is connected to the top wall of the frame shell 11, and the bottom is connected to the clamping plate 12 located above. The clamping plate 12 is provided with a through hole corresponding to the socket, so that the battery can enter the socket and the through hole. A battery for fixing is installed on one side wall of the through hole on one of the clamping plates 12. The suction cup 121 of the battery, a suction cup 121 for fixing the battery is installed on the other side wall of the through hole on the other clamping plate 12, the suction cup 121 is electrically controlled, so that the suction cups 121 on the two clamping plates 12 are arranged opposite to each other, and the suction cups 121 on the two clamping plates 12 are respectively located on the two sides of the battery, the clamping control component 14 is a telescopic driving source 1, the telescopic driving source 1 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the frame shell 11 up and down, and the telescopic driving source 1 has two telescopic ends and is respectively connected to the two clamping plates 12.

[0037] Two support brackets 13 are installed at the bottom end inside the frame shell 11 and are used to support the two ends of the bottom surface of the battery respectively. The two support brackets 13 are arranged to slide horizontally with each other and are slidably connected to the frame shell 11. An elastic member 131 is connected between the frame shell 11 and the support bracket 13. The elastic member 131 is preferably an elastic rope. The support control component 15 is a telescopic drive source 2. The telescopic drive source 2 is installed on the inner wall of the frame shell 11 for sliding up and down. The telescopic drive source 2 has two telescopic ends and is respectively connected to the two support brackets 13. When the two support brackets 13 move to both sides, the support brackets 13 break away from the contact with the bottom end of the battery, and the support bracket 13 rises under the action of the elastic member 131, thereby exposing the bottom of the battery.

[0038] The discharge device 2 includes a discharge plate and cylinders installed at both ends of the discharge plate for controlling the lifting of the discharge plate. When the discharge plate is pressed on the top of the battery, the elastic member 131 is stretched by the pressure, thereby causing the support bracket 13 to descend. This arrangement provides a buffering effect to prevent the discharge plate from directly contacting the battery, causing the top of the battery to be subjected to a large force and cause deformation.

[0039] The cutting device 3 includes two cutting parts, which are arranged up and down, so that after the top and bottom ends of the battery are exposed from the top and bottom of the frame shell 11, the two cutting parts cut the top and bottom of the battery respectively.

[0040] The pushing device 4 includes a plurality of push rods arranged corresponding to the sockets. When the top and bottom of the battery are cut off, the push rods are against the battery cells. At the same time, the telescopic driving source drives the two clamping plates 12 to move, so that the overlapping area of ​​the through holes on the two clamping plates 12 becomes larger, so that the suction cups 121 on both sides of the battery shell move to both sides respectively, so that the battery shell is slightly deformed, thereby reducing the friction between the inner wall of the battery shell and the battery cell, and then the push rod pushes the battery cell out of the battery shell.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] First, fill the transfer frame 1 with batteries, and then transport it to the position of the discharge device 2. When the discharge plate is pressed on the top of the battery, the elastic member 131 is stretched by the pressure, so that the support frame 13 descends. This arrangement provides a buffering effect to prevent the discharge plate from directly contacting the battery, causing the top of the battery to be subjected to a large force and deform. When the support frame 13 descends to the bottom of the frame shell 11, the two telescopic ends of the telescopic driving source 1 control the suction cups 121 on the two clamping plates 12 to approach each other and clamp the battery. Then, the transfer frame 1 is transported to the position of the cutting device 3. When the telescopic driving source 2 causes the two support frames 13 to move to both sides, the support frames 13 break away from the contact with the bottom of the battery. The support frames 13 rise under the action of the elastic member 131, thereby exposing the bottom of the battery, and the two cutting parts cut respectively. The top and bottom of the battery, and then the transfer frame 1 moves to the position of the pushing device 4, the push rod is against the battery cell, and at the same time, the telescopic driving source drives the two clamping plates 12 to move, so that the overlapping area of ​​the through holes on the two clamping plates 12 becomes larger, so that the suction cups 121 on both sides of the battery shell move to both sides respectively, so that the battery shell is slightly deformed, thereby reducing the friction between the inner wall of the battery shell and the battery cell, and then the push rod pushes the battery cell out of the battery shell, and finally the suction cup 121 no longer applies suction to the battery shell, and the battery shell falls out of the transfer frame 1, and each process is repeated. This arrangement avoids taking the battery out of the transfer frame 1 and then cutting and pushing the battery cell, which simplifies the process and reduces the friction when the battery cell is pushed out, thereby reducing the occurrence of damage to the battery cell.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and vary the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
