Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a disassembly device and a control method for automatically disassembling an EDS battery of a mobile phone, and belongs to the field of mechanical automation. Background Art

[0002] With the development of 3C industry technology, 3C electronic products (mobile phones) are often sophisticated and highly integrated, with complex processes and high costs. Therefore, during the disassembly of the battery components of mobile phones, the battery components cannot be disassembled and recycled for future use due to the lack of precision of the disassembly machines. Even if they are forcibly dismantled, they will often damage the product itself, which poses a great risk.

[0003] In the existing battery assembly process, the following assembly methods are generally used: 1. The battery is assembled through mechanical fixing methods such as screws and clips. Although it is easy to disassemble and replace the battery, it takes up a lot of space and increases the thickness of the mobile phone. The fixing force of screws and clips is limited, which will affect the stability of the battery and has gradually been eliminated; 2. The battery is fixed inside the mobile phone with double-sided tape. Although it is easy to operate and the cost is low, its adhesion is weak and may lose its viscosity after long-term use; it is very sensitive to changes in ambient temperature; 3. Use traditional stretch adhesives to bond batteries and other components. Although this method has strong adhesion and is easy to operate, it is difficult to disassemble, and forced removal will damage the product itself.

[0004] In view of this, it is indeed necessary to improve the existing removal device to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a disassembly device for automatically disassembling the EDS battery of a mobile phone. The disassembly device for automatically disassembling the EDS battery of a mobile phone can ensure the integrity of the disassembled EDS battery, so that the battery can be recycled and reused, which greatly saves costs and protects the ecological environment.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: A disassembly device for automatically disassembling an EDS battery of a mobile phone comprises a turntable and a workbench located on the turntable. On the rotation path of the turntable, the disassembly device comprises a first camera module, an electrolysis module and a second camera module which are located above the turntable and are arranged in sequence. The workbench is aligned with the first camera module, the electrolysis module and the second camera module in sequence as the turntable rotates. The top of the EDS battery has an electrical contact. The electrolysis module is correspondingly provided with a probe extending toward the workbench. The first camera module photographs and records the position of the electrical contact so that after the EDS battery follows the turntable to rotate to a position relative to the electrolysis module, the probe and the electrical contact are aligned with each other and electrically contacted. The second camera module comprises a shooting camera and an auxiliary gripper. The auxiliary gripper is configured to at least be able to grab the EDS battery until it is separated from the workbench. The shooting camera shoots at least twice to respectively record the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the EDS battery after electrolysis.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the disassembly device has a loading port, and the workbench and the first camera module are both arranged corresponding to the loading port.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, at least two workbenches are provided. When one of the workbenches rotates along with the turntable from the position corresponding to the first camera module to the position corresponding to the electrolysis module, the other workbench is positioned relative to the first camera module and one of the second camera modules.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the electrolysis module includes a driving component and an electrolysis part connected to the driving component, the probe is arranged on the electrolysis part, and can move in a direction perpendicular to the workbench under the drive of the driving component.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the electrolysis part is provided with an assembly part for assembling the probe and a frame assembly connected to the assembly part, and the frame assembly is provided with two independent driving devices, which can respectively drive the assembly part to move in two directions, and the two directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, a temperature sensor is further provided on the frame assembly, and the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature when the electrolysis part electrolyzes the EDS battery.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, a pressure sensor is provided on the assembly portion, and the pressure sensor is used to monitor the contact pressure between the probe and the electrical contact.

[0013] The present invention also provides a control method for a disassembly device for automatically disassembling an EDS battery of a mobile phone, which is applied to the aforementioned disassembly device and comprises: A first camera module captures and records the position of the electrical contact relative to the workbench; Driving the workbench to rotate from a position corresponding to the first camera module to a position corresponding to the electrolysis module; According to the position information recorded by the first camera module, the probe is driven to move to abut against the electrical contact, and electrolysis is performed by energizing; Collect and upload data from the electrolysis process; After the electrolysis is completed, the workbench is driven to rotate from a position corresponding to the electrolysis module to a position corresponding to the second camera module; The auxiliary gripper of the second camera module grabs the EDS battery to leave the workbench, and records and uploads the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the EDS battery after electrolysis through the shooting camera; The EDS battery is placed back on the workbench and rotated to a position corresponding to the unloading opening for unloading.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the disassembly device also includes a scanning module arranged next to the first camera module. Before the first camera module captures and records the position of the electrical contacts relative to the workbench, the EDS battery is scanned by the scanning module to record the SN information of the EDS battery.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, a cache position is also provided between the second camera module and the discharge port.

[0022] In order to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and implement it according to the contents of the specification, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4As shown, the present invention discloses a disassembly device 100 for automatically disassembling an EDS battery 200 of a mobile phone, comprising a turntable 1 and a workbench 11 located on the turntable 1. On the rotation path of the turntable 1, the disassembly device 100 comprises a first camera module 2, an electrolytic module 3 and a second camera module 4 which are located above the turntable 1 and are arranged in sequence. The workbench 11 is aligned with the first camera module 2, the electrolytic module 3 and the second camera module 4 in sequence as the turntable 1 rotates.

[0024] Preferably, the disassembly device 100 has a loading port 10, and the workbench 11 and the first camera module 2 both correspond to the loading port 10. Therefore, when in use, the EDS battery 200 can be placed on the workbench 11 from the loading port 10, and at this time, the workbench 11 is facing the first camera module 2, and the EDS battery 200 can be photographed directly through the first camera module 2 after pressing the start switch, saving the start time.

[0025] At least two workbenches 11 are provided. When one of the workbenches 11 rotates from the position corresponding to the first camera module 2 to the position corresponding to the electrolysis module 3 along with the turntable 1, the other workbenches 11 is positioned relative to one of the first camera module 2 and the second camera module 4. In this embodiment, the first camera module 2, the electrolysis module 3 and the second camera module 4 are distributed at 90° on the top of the outer edge of the turntable 1. The disassembly device 100 also has a feed opening. In this embodiment, the feed opening and the loading opening 10 are the same opening. This is based on the rotating nature of the turntable 1. Therefore, the feed loading and unloading can be completed simultaneously through one opening. In other embodiments, the feed opening and the loading opening 10 can also be set separately, and there is no limitation to this.

[0026] A buffer position 5 is also provided between the second camera module 4 and the loading port 10, and four workbenches 11 are provided, corresponding to the first camera module 2, the electrolysis module 3, the second camera module 4 and the buffer position 5. In this way, uninterrupted loading and unloading can be achieved, ensuring production efficiency.

[0027] The top of the EDS battery 200 has an electrical contact, and the electrolysis module 3 is correspondingly provided with a probe 321 extending toward the workbench 11. The first camera module 2 captures and records the position of the electrical contact, so that after the EDS battery 200 follows the turntable 1 to rotate to a position opposite to the electrolysis module 3, the probe 321 and the electrical contact are mutually aligned and electrically contacted. Afterwards, by energizing the electrolysis module 3, the EDS material of the EDS battery 200 is electrolyzed to complete the disassembly of the EDS battery 200.

[0028] The electrolysis module 3 includes a driving component 31 and an electrolysis part 32 connected to the driving component 31 . The probe 321 is disposed on the electrolysis part 32 and can move in a direction perpendicular to the workbench 11 under the drive of the driving component 31 .

[0029] The electrolysis part 32 is provided with an assembly part 320 for assembling the probe 321 and a frame assembly 322 connected to the assembly part 320. The frame assembly 322 is provided with two independent driving devices 323. The two driving devices 323 can respectively drive the assembly part 320 to move in two directions, which are perpendicular to each other. In other words, through the driving assembly 31 and the two driving devices 323, the probe 321 can move along the three axes of X, Y, and Z, so that it can ensure alignment with the electrical contacts on the EDS battery 200 to energize the EDS battery.

[0030] The frame assembly 322 is further provided with a temperature sensor 324 , and the temperature sensor 324 is used to monitor the temperature of the electrolysis unit 32 when electrolyzing the EDS battery 200 .

[0031] The assembly portion 320 is provided with a pressure sensor 325 , and the pressure sensor 325 is used to monitor the contact pressure between the probe 321 and the electrical contact.

[0032] The electrolysis module 3 further includes a current controller (not shown), which is capable of adjusting the current of the electrolysis module 3 .

[0033] In this way, through the temperature sensor 324, the pressure sensor 325 and the current controller, the electrolysis module 3 can control and monitor the data during the charging process of the EDS battery 200, so as to make adjustments at any time to ensure the stability of the electrolysis process and improve the yield of the product.

[0034] The second camera module 4 includes a shooting camera 41 and an auxiliary gripper 42. The auxiliary gripper 41 is configured to at least be able to grab the EDS battery 200 until it is separated from the workbench 11. The shooting camera 42 takes at least two shots to respectively record the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the EDS battery 200 after electrolysis. In this way, the second camera module 4 can be used to determine whether the EDS battery 200 after electrolysis can be recycled. Of course, in other embodiments, the second camera module 4 may not be provided or only one shot may be taken. In this way, it is only necessary to ensure that the material is unloaded after electrolysis, but the effect of the EDS battery 200 after electrolysis cannot be guaranteed. These can also be fine-tuned according to the experiment so that the electrolysis current can enable the EDS battery 200 to be completely disassembled.

[0035] Preferably, an NG position and a qualified position can be set on the workbench 11. When it is determined that the EDS battery 200 can be recycled based on the information captured by the second camera module 4, it is placed in the qualified position. When it is determined that the EDS battery 200 is not disassembled cleanly and cannot be recycled, it is placed in the NG position, and can be subsequently selected to be electrolyzed again or abandoned for recycling.

[0036] See also Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a control method for a disassembly device 100 for automatically disassembling a mobile phone EDS battery 200, comprising: The first camera module 2 photographs and records the position of the electrical contact relative to the workbench 11; Driving the workbench 11 to rotate from a position corresponding to the first camera module 2 to a position corresponding to the electrolysis module 3; According to the position information recorded by the first camera module 2, the probe 321 is driven to move to contact the electrical contact point, and electrolysis is performed; Collect and upload data from the electrolysis process; After the electrolysis is completed, the workbench 11 is driven to rotate from a position corresponding to the electrolysis module 3 to a position corresponding to the second camera module 4; The auxiliary gripper 42 of the second camera module 4 grabs the EDS battery 200 to leave the workbench 11, and records and uploads the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the electrolyzed EDS battery 200 through the shooting camera 41; The EDS battery 200 is placed back on the workbench 11 and rotated to a position corresponding to the unloading opening for unloading.

[0037] Preferably, the power-on time of the electrolysis module 3 and the EDS battery 200 is between 50-70 seconds. According to experimental calculations, within this interval, the EDS material on the EDS battery 200 can be completely electrolyzed to ensure the recyclability of the EDS battery 200.

[0038] Preferably, collecting and uploading data during the electrolysis process includes: receiving the data collected by the temperature sensor 324 and the pressure sensor 325 in real time through the controller, and controlling the current controller in real time according to the data to adjust the electrolysis current of the electrolysis module 3 for the EDS battery 200 to ensure the stability of the electrolysis process.

[0039] The disassembly device 100 further includes a barcode scanning module 6 disposed beside the first camera module 2. Before the first camera module 2 captures and records the position of the electrical contacts relative to the workbench 11, the barcode scanning module 6 scans the EDS battery 200 to record the SN information of the EDS battery 200. In this embodiment, the barcode scanning module 6 and the first camera module 2 both include a positioning rod and a universal bracket 21 connected to the respective positioning rods. The universal bracket is provided to ensure that the barcode scanning module 6 and the first camera module 2 can scan and capture the barcode or electrical contacts on the EDS battery 200.

[0040] A buffer position 5 is also provided between the second camera module 4 and the material discharge port. When the shooting camera 41 records and uploads the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the electrolyzed EDS battery 200, the workbench 11 is driven to rotate from the position corresponding to the second camera module 4 to the position corresponding to the buffer position 5, and then rotates to the position corresponding to the material discharge port for material discharge. In this way, the space of the disassembly device 100 itself is fully utilized, and a buffer space is provided for the material discharge process.

[0041] In summary, the disassembly device 100 and control method for automatically disassembling the EDS battery 200 of a mobile phone of the present invention assembles the battery by using EDS (Electrical De-Bond System) materials, and sets a first camera module 2, an electrolysis module 3 and a second camera module 4 on the disassembly device 100, so that the first camera module 2 captures and records the position of the electrical contacts on the top of the EDS battery 200, so that after the EDS battery 200 follows the turntable 1 to rotate to a position relative to the electrolysis module 3, the probe 321 of the electrolysis module 3 and the electrical contacts are aligned with each other, the auxiliary gripper 42 of the second camera module 4 can grab the EDS battery 200 to leave the workbench 11, and the shooting camera 41 of the second camera module 4 takes pictures twice to respectively record the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the EDS battery 200 after electrolysis. In this way, through the mutual cooperation of the electronic debonding properties of the EDS battery 200 and the electrolytic module 3, the integrity of the disassembled EDS battery 200 can be ensured, so that the battery can be recycled and reused, which greatly saves costs and protects the ecological environment; at the same time, the EDS material of the EDS battery 200 has high thermal conductivity, sealing and protection, which can meet the needs of existing battery assembly processes.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
