Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the development of 3C industry technology, 3C electronic products (mobile phones) are often precise, complex, highly integrated, with complex manufacturing processes and high costs. Therefore, during the disassembly process of the battery components of a mobile phone, due to the insufficient precision of the disassembly machine, it is often impossible to disassemble the battery components for recycling and reuse. Even if forced to disassemble, it will often damage the product itself, posing great risks.

[0003] In the existing battery assembly processes, generally the following several assembly methods are adopted. First, mechanical fixing methods such as screws and buckles are used to complete the battery assembly. Although it is easy to disassemble and replace the battery, it occupies a large space and increases the thickness of the mobile phone. Moreover, the fixing force of the fixing methods using screws and buckles is limited, which will affect the stability of the battery and has gradually been phased out. Second, the battery is fixed inside the mobile phone with double-sided tape. Although the operation is simple and the cost is low, its adhesive force is weak and it may lose its stickiness after long-term use; it is very sensitive to changes in environmental temperature. Third, traditional stretch adhesives are used to bond the battery and other components. Although this method has strong adhesive force and is easy to operate, the disassembly difficulty is large, and forced disassembly will damage the product itself.

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

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a disassembly device for automatically disassembling an EDS battery of a mobile phone. This disassembly device for automatically disassembling an EDS battery of a mobile phone can ensure the integrity of the disassembled EDS battery, enabling the battery to be recycled and reused, greatly saving costs and protecting the ecological environment.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] An automatic disassembly device for mobile phone EDS batteries, comprising a turntable and a workbench located on the turntable. On the rotation path of the turntable, the disassembly device includes a first camera module, an electrolysis module, and a second camera module that are sequentially arranged above the turntable. The workbench rotates with the turntable and is sequentially aligned with the first camera module, the electrolysis module, and the second camera module. The top of the EDS battery has electrical contacts, and the electrolysis module is correspondingly provided with probes extending towards the workbench. The first camera module takes pictures and records the positions of the electrical contacts, so that after the EDS battery rotates with the turntable to be aligned with the electrolysis module, the probes are aligned with and electrically contacted with the electrical contacts. The second camera module includes a shooting camera and an auxiliary gripper. The auxiliary gripper is configured to be able to at least grab the EDS battery to separate it from the workbench. The shooting camera takes pictures at least twice to respectively record the information of the top surface and the bottom surface of the electrolyzed EDS battery.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the disassembly device has a feeding port, and both the workbench and the first camera module are correspondingly arranged with respect to the feeding port.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, at least two workbenches are provided. When one workbench rotates with the turntable from the position corresponding to the first camera module to the position corresponding to the electrolysis module, the other workbench is aligned with one of the first camera module and the second camera module.

[0010] 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 probes are arranged on the electrolysis part and can move in a direction perpendicular to the workbench under the drive of the driving component.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the electrolysis part is provided with an assembly part for assembling the probes and a frame assembly connected to the assembly part. Two independent driving devices are arranged on the frame assembly. The two driving devices can respectively drive the assembly part to move in two directions, and the two directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, a temperature sensor is further arranged on the frame assembly. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature when the electrolysis part electrolyzes the EDS battery.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, a pressure sensor is arranged on the assembly part. The pressure sensor is used to monitor the contact pressure between the probes and the electrical contacts.

[0014] The present invention also provides a control method for a disassembly device of an automatic disassembly of a mobile phone EDS battery, which is applied to the aforementioned disassembly device and includes:

[0015] The first camera module takes pictures and records the position of the electrical contact relative to the workbench;

[0016] Drive the workbench to rotate from the position corresponding to the first camera module to the position corresponding to the electrolysis module;

[0017] According to the position information recorded by the first camera module, drive the probe to move to abut against the electrical contact and perform electrolysis while energizing;

[0018] Collect and upload the data during the electrolysis process;

[0019] After the electrolysis is completed, drive the workbench to rotate from the position corresponding to the electrolysis module to the position corresponding to the second camera module;

[0020] The auxiliary gripper of the second camera module grabs the EDS battery to separate it from the workbench, and records and uploads the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the electrolyzed EDS battery through the shooting camera;

[0021] Put the EDS battery back on the workbench and rotate it to the position corresponding to the blanking port for blanking.

[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention, the disassembly device further includes a code scanning module disposed beside the first camera module. Before the first camera module takes pictures and records the position of the electrical contact relative to the workbench, the EDS battery is scanned by the code scanning module to record the SN information of the EDS battery.

[0023] As a further improvement of the present invention, there is also a buffer position between the second camera module and the blanking port. After the shooting camera records and uploads the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the electrolyzed EDS battery, drive the workbench to rotate from the position corresponding to the second camera module to the position corresponding to the buffer position, and then rotate to the position corresponding to the blanking port for blanking.

[0024] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: By using EDS (Electrical De-Bond System) materials to assemble the battery, and by arranging a first camera module, an electrolysis module, and a second camera module on the disassembly device, the first camera module captures and records the positions of the electrical contacts on the top of the EDS battery. After the EDS battery rotates with the turntable to be opposite to the electrolysis module, the probes of the electrolysis module are aligned with the electrical contacts. The auxiliary gripper of the second camera module can grasp the EDS battery to separate it from the workbench, and the shooting camera of the second camera module takes two shots to respectively record the information on the top surface and the bottom surface of the electrolyzed EDS battery. In this way, through the mutual cooperation of the electronic debonding property of the EDS battery and the electrolysis module, the integrity of the disassembled EDS battery can be ensured, enabling the battery to be recycled and reused, greatly saving costs and protecting the ecological environment. At the same time, the EDS material of the EDS battery has the functions of high thermal conductivity, sealing, and protection, and can meet the requirements of the existing battery assembly process.

[0030] In order to be able to more clearly understand the technical means of the present invention and implement it according to the content of the specification, the following further describes the specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, the present invention discloses a disassembly device 100 for automatically disassembling the EDS battery 200 of a mobile phone, which includes a turntable 1 and a workbench 11 located on the turntable 1. On the rotation path of the turntable 1, the disassembly device 100 includes a first camera module 2, an electrolysis module 3, and a second camera module 4 that are sequentially arranged above the turntable 1. The workbench 11 rotates with the turntable 1 and is aligned with the first camera module 2, the electrolysis module 3, and the second camera module 4 in sequence.

[0032] Preferably, the disassembly device 100 has a loading port 10, and both the workbench 11 and the first camera module 2 correspond to the loading port 10. Therefore, during use, the EDS battery 200 can be placed on the workbench 11 from the loading port 10. At this time, the workbench 11 is facing the first camera module 2, and the first camera module 2 can directly take pictures of the EDS battery 200 after pressing the start switch, saving the start-up time.

[0033] There are at least two workbenches 11. When one workbench 11 rotates with the turntable 1 from the position corresponding to the first camera module 2 to the position corresponding to the electrolysis module 3, the other workbench 11 is aligned with 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 discharging port. In this embodiment, the discharging port and the loading port 10 are the same port. Based on the rotation property of the turntable 1, loading and unloading can be completed through one port. In other embodiments, the discharging port and the loading port 10 can also be separately arranged, and no limitation is made thereto.

[0034] There is also a buffer position 5 between the second camera module 4 and the loading port 10. There are four workbenches 11, which correspond to the first camera module 2, the electrolysis module 3, the second camera module 4, and the buffer position 5 respectively. In this way, uninterrupted loading and unloading can be achieved, ensuring the production efficiency.

[0035] The top of the EDS battery 200 has electrical contacts. The electrolysis module 3 is correspondingly provided with a probe 321 extending towards the workbench 11. The first camera module 2 takes pictures and records the positions of the electrical contacts, so that after the EDS battery 200 rotates with the turntable 1 to be aligned with the electrolysis module 3, the probe 321 and the electrical contacts are aligned and electrically contacted with each other. Then, through the energization of the electrolysis module 3, the EDS material of the EDS battery 200 is electrolyzed to complete the disassembly of the EDS battery 200.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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. Two independent driving devices 323 are provided on the frame assembly 322. The two driving devices 323 can respectively drive the assembly part 320 to move in two directions, and the two directions are perpendicular to each other. That is to say, through the driving component 31 and the two driving devices 323, the probe 321 can move along the X, Y, and Z axes. In this way, it can ensure alignment with the electrical contacts on the EDS battery 200 to energize the EDS battery.

[0038] A temperature sensor 324 is further provided on the frame assembly 322. The temperature sensor 324 is used to monitor the temperature when the electrolysis part 32 electrolyzes the EDS battery 200.

[0039] A pressure sensor 325 is provided on the assembly part 320. The pressure sensor 325 is used to monitor the contact pressure between the probe 321 and the electrical contact.

[0040] The electrolysis module 3 further has a current controller (not shown). The current controller can adjust the current of the electrolysis module 3.

[0041] In this way, through the temperature sensor 324, the pressure sensor 325, and the current controller, data control and monitoring during the charging process of the electrolysis module 3 to the EDS battery 200 can be ensured, so as to make adjustments at any time, ensure the stability of the electrolysis process, and improve the yield of products.

[0042] The second camera module 4 includes a shooting camera 41 and an auxiliary gripper 42. The auxiliary gripper 41 is configured to be able to at least grab the EDS battery 200 to separate it from the workbench 11. The shooting camera 42 shoots at least twice to respectively record the information on the top and bottom surfaces of the electrolyzed EDS battery 200. In this way, through the second camera module 4, it can be determined whether the electrolyzed EDS battery 200 can be recycled. Of course, in other embodiments, the second camera module 4 may not be provided or only one photo may be taken. In this way, it only needs to ensure discharging immediately after electrolysis, but the effect of the electrolyzed EDS battery 200 cannot be guaranteed. These can also be adjusted according to experiments so that the electrolysis current can completely disassemble the EDS battery 200.

[0043] Preferably, an NG position and a qualified position can be set on the workbench 11. When it is determined according to the information captured by the second camera module 4 that the EDS battery 200 can be recycled, it is placed at the qualified position. When it is determined that the EDS battery 200 is not disassembled completely and cannot be recycled, it is placed at the NG position, and subsequent electrolysis or abandonment of recycling can be selected.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a control method for a disassembly device 100 for automatically disassembling the EDS battery 200 of a mobile phone, including:

[0045] The first camera module 2 captures and records the position of the electrical contact relative to the workbench 11;

[0046] Drive the workbench 11 to rotate from the position corresponding to the first camera module 2 to the position corresponding to the electrolysis module 3;

[0047] According to the position information recorded by the first camera module 2, drive the probe 321 to move to abut against the electrical contact and conduct electrolysis with electricity;

[0048] Collect and upload the data during the electrolysis process;

[0049] After the electrolysis is completed, drive the workbench 11 to rotate from the position corresponding to the electrolysis module 3 to the position corresponding to the second camera module 4;

[0050] The auxiliary gripper 42 of the second camera module 4 grabs the EDS battery 200 to separate it from the workbench 11, and records and uploads the information on the top and bottom surfaces of the electrolyzed EDS battery 200 through the shooting camera 41;

[0051] Place the EDS battery 200 back on the workbench 11 and rotate it to the position corresponding to the blanking port for blanking.

[0052] Preferably, the power-on time between the electrolysis module 3 and the EDS battery 200 is between 50 - 70s. According to experimental calculations, within this range, the EDS material on the EDS battery 200 can be completely electrolyzed to ensure the recyclability of the EDS battery 200.

[0053] Preferably, collecting and uploading the data during the electrolysis process includes: the controller receives in real time the data collected by the temperature sensor 324 and the pressure sensor 325, and controls the current controller in real time according to this data to adjust the electrolysis current of the electrolysis module 3 for the EDS battery 200 to ensure the stability of the electrolysis process.

[0054] The disassembly device 100 further includes a code scanning module 6 disposed beside the first camera module 2. Before the first camera module 2 captures and records the position of the electrical contact relative to the workbench 11, the code scanning module 6 scans the EDS battery 200 to record the SN information of the EDS battery 200. In this embodiment, both the code scanning module 6 and the first camera module 2 include positioning rods and universal brackets 21 connected to their respective positioning rods. By providing the universal brackets, it is ensured that the code scanning module 6 and the first camera module 2 can scan and capture the barcodes or electrical contacts on the EDS battery 200.

[0055] A buffer position 5 is further provided between the second camera module 4 and the blanking port. After 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 to the position corresponding to the blanking port for blanking. In this way, on the one hand, it makes full use of the space of the disassembly device 100 itself, and on the other hand, it also provides a buffer space for the loading and unloading process.

[0056] In summary, a disassembly device 100 and a control method for automatically disassembling the EDS battery 200 of a mobile phone according to the present invention assemble the battery by using EDS (Electrical De-Bond System) materials, and by providing a first camera module 2, an electrolysis module 3, and a second camera module 4 on the disassembly device 100, the first camera module 2 captures and records the position of the electrical contact on the top of the EDS battery 200, so that after the EDS battery 200 rotates to be opposite to the electrolysis module 3 following the turntable 1, the probe 321 of the electrolysis module 3 is aligned with the electrical contact. The auxiliary gripper 42 of the second camera module 4 can grab the EDS battery 200 to separate it from the workbench 11, and the shooting camera 41 of the second camera module 4 shoots twice to respectively record the information of the top and bottom surfaces of the electrolyzed EDS battery 200. In this way, through the mutual cooperation of the electronic debonding property of the EDS battery 200 and the electrolysis module 3, the integrity of the disassembled EDS battery 200 can be ensured, enabling the battery to be recycled and reused, greatly saving costs and protecting the ecological environment. At the same time, the EDS material of the EDS battery 200 has the functions of high thermal conductivity, sealing, and protection, and can meet the requirements of the existing battery assembly process.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
