[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of battery recycling equipment, and particularly relates to a battery core pulling device. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the popularity of new energy vehicles, the number of waste batteries has increased rapidly in recent years. These batteries contain rich recyclable resources such as lithium, cobalt and nickel. If not properly treated, they will cause serious pollution to the environment. The existing recycling technology generally first disassembles and crushes the battery shell, and then separates the battery core, so as to efficiently extract high-value materials in waste batteries and re-enter the battery production line to realize resource recycling. However, the existing method of separating the battery core is generally to cut open both sides of the shell, then to cut around the end of the shell close to the tab, to pull out the part of the battery core connected to the end of the shell, and then to separate the tab and the battery core. Since this way of taking out the battery core is easy to break the tab during operation, which leads to the failure of core pulling, it is necessary to develop a core pulling device for separately separating the battery core from the shell after cutting off the battery core and the tab.

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment provides a battery core pulling device, which comprises a core pulling conveying line e1, a clamping mechanism e4 and a core pulling mechanism e5. The core pulling conveying line e1 comprises an adjusting table e2 and a second transfer mechanism e3. The second transfer mechanism e3 is provided with a second gripper e31 which can be opened and closed along the Y-axis direction. The adjusting table e2 can be lifted along the Z-axis direction. The clamping mechanism e4 and the core pulling mechanism e5 are arranged on opposite sides of the adjusting table e2 along the Y-axis direction. The clamping mechanism e4 can be controlled to move along the Y-axis direction and is provided with a first gripper e41 and a second gripper e42 which are arranged in a vertical staggered manner along the opening and closing direction. The first gripper e41 is opened and closed along the X-axis direction, and the second gripper e42 is opened and closed along the Z-axis direction. The core pulling mechanism e5 is provided with a third gripper e6 which can be moved along the Y-axis direction and can be opened and closed along the Z-axis direction.

[0024] The second gripper e31 is used for clamping a battery 100 from the Y-axis direction and transferring the battery 100 to the adjusting table e2. The adjusting table e2 is lifted or lowered to compensate for a distance h according to the size of the battery 100 in the Z-axis direction, so that the center of the battery 100 in the Z-axis direction is aligned with the clamping reference of the third gripper e6. The clamping mechanism e4 is moved to the battery 100 along the Y-axis, and the second gripper e42 and the first gripper e41 are controlled in sequence to clamp one end of the battery 100 which is opposite to the opening of the battery 100 from the Z-axis and the X-axis directions, respectively. The third gripper e6 can be controlled to move to the battery 100 along the Y-axis and extend into the opening of the battery 100 in a stretched state to clamp the battery core 104 and then move reversely along the Y-axis direction.

[0025] Its working principle is that the staff enters the size data of the battery to be cored into the core pulling device in advance, including the length, width and height data of the battery. The second transfer mechanism e3 controls the second gripper e31 to grab the battery 100 and transfer it to the adjustment platform e2. The initial coordinate of the adjustment platform e2 on the Z axis is set to 0. The compensation distance h is calculated according to the height dimension of the battery and the clamping reference of the third gripper, and the corresponding rising or falling compensation distance h is calculated. For example, the Z axis coordinate of the above-mentioned clamping reference is 20 cm, and the height dimension of the battery is 10 cm. In order to ensure that the center of the battery in the Z axis direction is aligned with the clamping reference, the adjustment platform e2 needs to rise by a compensation distance of 15 cm. Then the clamping mechanism e4 approaches the battery 100 along the Y-axis, first controls the second clamp e42 to clamp the end of the battery 100 relative to its opening from the Z-axis direction, thereby fixing the current height position of the battery 100, and then controls the first clamp e41 to clamp both sides of the battery 100 from the X-axis direction, thereby further fixing the current position of the battery 100, and then the third clamp e6 opens and inserts into the opening of the battery 100. As the third clamp e6 continues to move forward, the battery 100 shell 101 will be stretched open along the Z-axis direction by the opened third clamp e6, and then the third clamp e6 closes to clamp the battery cell 104. After clamping the battery cell 104, the third clamp e6 moves in the opposite direction along the Y-axis direction to pull the battery cell 104 out of the shell 101.

5. The core pulling device according to claim 4, characterized in that: The first outer claw (e611), the first inner claw (e612), the second outer claw (e621), and the second inner claw (e622) all include a connecting portion (e601) arranged in the adjusting groove (e64), the connecting portion (e601) is provided with limiting ridges (e600) arranged relatively on both sides of the screw, and a pressure strip (e66) is fixedly connected to the side opening of the adjusting groove (e64) and is pressed against the limiting ridges (e600) on the opposite sides. The pressure strip (e66) is provided with a plurality of pressure holes (e661) along the extension direction of the adjusting groove (e64), and the pressure holes (e661) are equipped with bolts for pressing against the corresponding limiting ridges (e600). The first outer claw (e611) and the second outer claw (e621) are threadedly connected with a limiting nut (e662) abutting against the pressure strip (e66).

6. The core pulling device according to claim 5, characterized in that: The first outer claw (e611) and the second outer claw (e621) are provided with a first wedge-shaped gripping portion (e602) in a mirror-image arrangement, and the first inner claw (e612) and the second inner claw (e622) are provided with a second wedge-shaped gripping portion (e603) in a mirror-image arrangement, wherein the wedge-shaped surfaces of the first wedge-shaped gripping portion (e602) and the second wedge-shaped gripping portion (e603) face outwards.

7. The core pulling device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The adjustment platform (e2) is provided with a notch (e21) on a side close to the core-pulling mechanism (e5), and the adjustment platform (e2) is provided with a lower positioning platform (e22) that can be raised and lowered to pass through the notch (e21). An upper positioning seat (e23) that can be raised and lowered is provided above the adjustment platform (e2), and the upper positioning seat (e23) and the lower positioning platform (e22) are close to each other to clamp the battery (100) on the side close to the core-pulling mechanism (e5).

8. The core pulling device according to claim 1, characterized in that: The invention also includes a shell recovery conveyor line (f1) arranged below the clamping mechanism (e4) and extending along the conveying direction of the core pulling conveyor line (e1), a pressing mechanism (f2) arranged at the end of the shell recovery conveyor line (f1), and a claw (f3) that can move linearly back and forth relative to the shell recovery conveyor line (f1) toward the pressing mechanism (f2). The shell recovery conveyor line (f1) includes a lifting receiving platform (f4) and a conveying platform (f5) connecting the receiving platform (f4) and the pressing mechanism (f2). The receiving platform (f4) can be controlled to rise to the lower side of the clamping mechanism (e4) for receiving the battery shell (101) and then descend. The claw (f3) is used to push the battery shell (101) from the conveying platform (f5) to the pressing mechanism (f2).
