Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of laser cutting technology, and in particular to a lithium battery shell metal laser cutting device and method. Background Art

Lithium batteries often have cylindrical steel shells or aluminum shells as lithium battery shells. However, when recycling lithium batteries, the cylindrical shells need to be cut quickly.

[0003] There are many existing technologies for metal laser cutting devices, such as: Chinese patent publication number CN111633343A discloses a laser automatic cutting machine for waste lithium battery module shells, including a storage rack, a first feeding device, a loading device, a clamping device, a laser cutting machine, a second feeding device, and a discharge table.

[0015] The second object of the present invention is to provide a method for laser cutting a lithium battery casing metal, comprising the following steps: S1. Place the battery inside the extension plate, and clamp the two ends of the battery with the clamping assembly. Since the laser cutting knife does not need to contact the battery surface during the laser cutting process, the battery clamped between the clamping assemblies can be stably cut; S2. When the battery is fixed between the clamping components, the rotating component rotates and drives the battery to rotate through friction, and the moving block drives the laser cutting knife to move to one end of the battery through the moving rail, and the laser cutting knife performs laser cutting on one end of the rotating battery. When the cutting on one side is completed, the laser cutting knife moves to the other side to cut the end of the battery.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In the lithium battery shell metal laser cutting device and method, the slide plate is driven to move in the horizontal direction by the piston rod at the end of the cylinder until the side wall of the second gear is tightly fitted with the battery surface, and the first gear is driven to rotate by the output end of the servo motor, and the second gear meshes and rotates with the first gear. When the second gear rotates, the battery is driven to rotate by friction, and the two sides of the battery are cut by the laser cutting knife. After the cutting is completed, the separation speed of the battery metal shell and the internal electrode material is improved, and the collection efficiency of the battery shell metal is improved.

[0017] 2. In the lithium battery shell metal laser cutting equipment and method, the servo motor drives the first gear to rotate, and the first gear drives the second gear to mesh and rotate. At this time, the cut battery metal shell continues to rotate due to friction. Since the stripping knife is fixed at the cutting position, when the cut battery drives the cut shell to rotate, the stripping knife automatically strips the battery shell due to the low strength of the battery metal shell, thereby realizing automatic stripping of the battery technical shell and improving the safety of collection.

[0018] 3. In the lithium battery casing metal laser cutting device and method, the battery is placed inside the extension plate, and the output shaft of the rotating motor drives the screw to rotate. The movable plates on both sides of the screw surface move relatively. The movement of the movable plates drives the toothed plates above to clamp the two ends of the battery. Since the laser cutting knife does not need to contact the battery surface during the laser cutting process, it ensures that the battery clamped between the toothed plates can be cut quickly.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-8 As shown, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a lithium battery shell metal laser cutting device, including a body 100, the body 100 includes a moving rail 101 arranged on the top, a moving block 102 is arranged on the surface of the moving rail 101, a telescopic member 103 is arranged at the bottom of the moving block 102, a laser cutting knife 104 is arranged at the bottom of the telescopic member 103, the laser cutting knife 104 is used for laser cutting of the battery, an electric turntable 200 is arranged below the laser cutting knife 104, extension plates 201 are arranged on both sides of the electric turntable 200, a clamping assembly 300 is arranged in the extension plate 201, and the clamping assembly Part 300 is used to clamp and fix the battery. A rotating component 400 is slidably provided on the surface of the extension plate 201. The rotating component 400 is used to drive the battery clamped in the clamping component 300 to rotate. The laser cutting knife 104 performs laser cutting on both sides of the rotating battery. At the same time, the rotating component 400 blows air to cool the battery during cutting. A peeling component 500 is provided on the top of the extension plate 201. The peeling component 500 is used to block the incision where the cutting is completed. When the rotating component 400 drives the battery to rotate, the peeling component 500 peels the cut outer shell of the battery.

[0024] When cutting the battery, since the battery surface is in an arc shape, it is easy to roll during the cutting process, resulting in the deviation of the cutting position, requiring secondary cutting, and affecting the cutting efficiency. Therefore, the clamping assembly 300 includes a rotating motor 301 arranged on the side wall of the extension plate 201, and a screw rod 302 is arranged at the output end of the rotating motor 301. The thread on the surface of the screw rod 302 is symmetrical, and a moving plate 303 is arranged on the surface of the screw rod 302. The moving plate 303 moves on both sides of the surface of the screw rod 302. A bearing 304 is arranged on the inner side of the moving plate 303, and a toothed plate 305 is clamped inside the bearing 304. When the toothed plate 305 moves relatively, the two ends of the battery are clamped and fixed. By placing the battery on the extension plate Inside 201, the output shaft of the rotating motor 301 drives the screw rod 302 to rotate, and the movable plates 303 provided on both sides of the surface of the screw rod 302 move relative to each other. The movement of the movable plate 303 drives the toothed plate 305 provided above to clamp the two ends of the battery. Since the laser cutting knife 104 does not need to contact the battery surface during the laser cutting process of the battery surface, it is ensured that the battery clamped between the toothed plates 305 can be cut quickly, and the battery rolling during the cutting process is prevented from causing incomplete cutting, thereby improving the cutting efficiency. Since the toothed plates 305 are clamped on the inner wall of the bearing 304, at the same time, the battery fixed between the toothed plates 305 can still rotate when being pushed by external force.

[0025] During the cutting process of the battery shell, the operator is required to separate the electrode material inside the battery from the shell metal, so as to collect and recycle the metal shell of the battery. The traditional cutting method cuts the battery surface, which makes it difficult to separate the electrode material inside the battery from the battery, affecting the collection efficiency of the battery shell metal. Therefore, the rotating component 400 includes a cylinder 401 perpendicular to one side of the battery, and the piston rod at the end of the cylinder 401 is provided with a slide plate 402. The surface of the slide plate 402 is provided with a partition, and the partition divides the inside of the slide plate 402 into three spaces, namely a middle space and a side space. The side spaces are distributed on both sides of the middle space with the middle space as the symmetry axis. A servo motor 403 is provided on one side of the middle space, and a first gear 404 is provided on the output shaft at the end of the servo motor 403. A second gear 405 is meshed above the first gear 404, and an extension rod is provided at the center of the second gear 405. The extension rod passes through the side space and a main gear 406 is provided at the end. When the battery is fixed in When the toothed plates 305 are between the toothed plates 305, the piston rod at the end of the cylinder 401 drives the slide plate 402 to move in the horizontal direction until the side wall of the second gear 405 is tightly fitted with the surface of the battery, and the first gear 404 is driven to rotate by the output end of the servo motor 403, and the second gear 405 meshes and rotates with the first gear 404. When the second gear 405 rotates, the battery is driven to rotate by friction, and the moving block 102 drives the laser cutting knife 104 to move to one end of the battery through the moving rail 101, and the laser cutting knife 104 is used to laser cut the end of one side of the rotating battery. When the cutting of one side is completed, the laser cutting knife 104 moves to the other side to cut the end of the battery. After the cutting is completed, the servo motor 403 stops rotating, and the laser cutting knife 104 moves horizontally between the two sides of the battery, and at the same time, the battery surface is laser cut. After the cutting is completed, the separation speed of the battery metal shell and the internal electrode material is improved, and the collection efficiency of the battery shell metal is improved.

[0026] Taking into account that more heat energy is generated during the laser cutting process, in order to avoid spontaneous combustion of the battery due to overheating, a sub-gear 407 is provided on one side of the side space, and the sub-gear 407 is meshed with the main gear 406. A connecting rod 408 is provided at the end of the sub-gear 407, and a worm 409 is provided on the surface of the connecting rod 408. A turbine 410 is provided above the worm 409, and a fan blade 411 is provided at the end of the turbine 410. During the rotational cutting process of the battery end, the sub-gear 407 is driven to mesh and rotate by the main gear 406. The gear ratio of the main gear 406 to the sub-gear 407 is 1:4. Therefore, the connecting rod 408 provided at the end of the sub-gear 407 drives the worm 409 to rotate rapidly, and the turbine 410 meshed above the worm 409 drives the fan blade 411 to rotate to blow air to the cutting position, thereby avoiding spontaneous combustion of the battery due to excessive temperature during the cutting process, thereby avoiding the occurrence of safety hazards.

[0027] When the battery peeling is completed, since the electrode material inside the battery has a certain toxicity, it may cause accidental inhalation when the electrode material is collected and processed, affecting health. Therefore, a manipulator 202 is provided on the side of the extension plate 201 away from the rotating component 400. The manipulator 202 is used to grab the peeled electrode material inside the battery. The peeled electrode material is grabbed by the manipulator 202, thereby reducing the probability of contact between the operator and the electrode material and ensuring the health of the operator.

[0028] When the battery is cut, the metal shell at the cutting position is relatively sharp and may be scratched during the process of manually separating and collecting the cut metal shell. Therefore, the peeling component 500 includes a long rod 501 arranged between the fixed blocks at the top of the extension plate 201, and a rotating rod 502 is rotatably arranged on the surface of the long rod 501. A reset spring 503 is arranged on the surface of the long rod 501. The two ends of the reset spring 503 are respectively connected to the rotating rod 502 and the inner wall of the fixed block. In a natural state, the rotating rod 502 forms an angle of 150° with the vertical plane, and a limiting groove is arranged on the surface of the rotating rod 502. A pull rod 505 is slidingly arranged in the limiting groove. An elastic member 506 is arranged between the pull rod 505 and the outer wall of the fixed block. The pull rod 505 is used to limit and fix the rotating rod 502. When the cutting of the battery surface is completed, the pull rod 505 is pulled away from the inside of the rotating rod 502. The resistance encountered by 502 disappears, and the rotating rod 502 is rotated on the surface of the long rod 501 by the force of the return spring 503. The peeling knife 504 provided at the end of the rotating rod 502 rotates to the center line of the battery cutting. At this time, the servo motor 403 drives the first gear 404 to rotate, and the first gear 404 drives the second gear 405 to mesh and rotate. At this time, the cut battery metal shell continues to rotate due to the friction force. Since the peeling knife 504 is fixed at the cutting position, when the cut battery drives the cut shell to rotate, due to the low strength of the battery metal shell, the peeling knife 504 automatically peels the battery shell, thereby realizing automatic peeling of the battery technical shell and improving the safety of collection.

[0029] When in use, the battery is placed inside the extension plate 201, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 301 drives the screw rod 302 to rotate. The movable plates 303 provided on both sides of the surface of the screw rod 302 move relatively. The movable plates 303 move to drive the toothed plates 305 provided above to clamp the two ends of the battery. Since the laser cutting knife 104 does not need to contact the battery surface during the laser cutting process of the battery surface, it is ensured that the battery clamped between the toothed plates 305 can be cut quickly, and the battery rolling during the cutting process can be avoided, resulting in incomplete cutting, thereby improving the cutting efficiency and the battery When fixed between the toothed plates 305, the piston rod at the end of the cylinder 401 drives the slide plate 402 to move in the horizontal direction until the side wall of the second gear 405 is tightly fitted with the surface of the battery, and the output end of the servo motor 403 drives the first gear 404 to rotate, and the second gear 405 meshes and rotates with the first gear 404. When the second gear 405 rotates, the battery is driven to rotate by friction, and the moving block 102 drives the laser cutting knife 104 to move to one end of the battery through the moving rail 101, and the laser cutting knife 104 performs laser cutting on one end of the rotating battery. When one side is cut When the cutting is completed, the laser cutting knife 104 moves to the other side to cut the end of the battery. After the cutting is completed, the servo motor 403 stops rotating, and the laser cutting knife 104 moves horizontally between the two sides of the battery, and laser cuts the battery surface at the same time. After the cutting is completed, the separation speed of the battery metal shell and the internal electrode material is increased, and the collection efficiency of the battery shell metal is improved. When the battery surface is cut, the pull rod 505 is pulled away from the inside of the rotating rod 502. Therefore, the resistance of the rotating rod 502 disappears, and the rotating rod 502 is rotated in the length by the force of the return spring 503. On the surface of the rod 501, a peeling knife 504 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 502 to rotate to the center line of the battery cutting. At this time, the first gear 404 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 403, and the first gear 404 drives the second gear 405 to engage and rotate. At this time, the cut battery metal shell continues to rotate due to the friction force. Since the peeling knife 504 is fixed at the cutting position, when the cut battery drives the cut shell to rotate, due to the low strength of the battery metal shell, the peeling knife 504 automatically peels the battery shell, thereby realizing automatic peeling of the battery metal shell and improving the safety of collection.

[0030] The second object of the present invention is to provide a lithium battery shell metal laser cutting method, including any one of the lithium battery shell metal laser cutting equipment described above, comprising the following steps: S1. Place the battery inside the extension plate 201, and clamp the two ends of the battery with the clamping assembly 300. Since the laser cutting knife 104 does not need to contact the battery surface during the laser cutting process, the battery clamped between the clamping assembly 300 can be stably cut; S2, when the battery is fixed between the clamping components 300, the rotating component 400 rotates to drive the battery to rotate through friction, and the moving block 102 drives the laser cutting knife 104 to move to one end of the battery through the moving rail 101, and the laser cutting knife 104 performs laser cutting on one end of the rotating battery. When the cutting on one side is completed, the laser cutting knife 104 moves to the other side to cut the end of the battery. After the cutting is completed, the rotating component 400 stops rotating, and the laser cutting knife 104 moves horizontally between the two sides of the battery, and laser cutting is performed on the surface of the battery at the same time; S3. When the battery surface is cut, the peeling assembly 500 is rotated to the center line of the battery cut. At this time, the rotating assembly 400 drives the cut battery to engage and rotate, and the peeling assembly 500 automatically peels the battery shell, thereby realizing automatic peeling of the battery technical shell.
