[0020] In order to more clearly illustrate the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] See also Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a fully automatic CTP battery pack three-dimensional disassembly system, comprising: The fully automatic visual recognition drilling and milling module 1 is used to automatically identify and scan the location information of the battery pack, perform drilling and milling operations on the connecting pieces on the battery module with adjustable speed, and sense the drilling and milling pressure on the battery module to gradually separate the connecting pieces from the battery module; The intelligent transport module 2 is used to flip, lift, and transport the battery pack to adjust the posture and position of the battery pack and cooperate with the fully automatic visual recognition drilling and milling module 1 to complete the initial disassembly of the battery pack; Thermomechanical coupling disassembly module 4 is used to heat the battery pack shell, reduce the hardness of the outer frame and back plate by heating the outer frame and back plate of the battery pack, and separate the heated outer frame and back plate by vibration cutting; The overhead crane module 5 is used to lift and disassemble the outer frame and back plate of the battery pack after cutting and separation.
[0022] In this embodiment, the present invention automatically scans the CTP battery pack position information through the fully automatic visual recognition drilling and milling module 1, and after determining the position information of the connecting piece of the battery pack, accurately drills and mills the connecting piece to remove all the connecting pieces on the battery pack, so as to separate the connecting pieces from the battery module; the intelligent transfer module 2 is responsible for flipping, lifting and transporting the processed battery pack. After all the connecting pieces of the battery pack are disassembled, the intelligent transfer module 2 can flip the battery pack horizontally to further disassemble its back plate and outer frame. The thermal coupling disassembly module 4 further heats and cuts the battery pack shell.

In addition, the pressure feedback of the servo motor 12 is used to realize intelligent pressure control during the drilling and milling process. When the compound drilling and milling head 13 contacts the battery pack connecting piece and applies pressure, the servo motor 12 The pressure sensor captures this information instantly and feeds back the pressure value to the servo motor 12. According to the preset pressure range and speed correspondence, the speed of the servo motor 12 is dynamically adjusted to maintain a stable drilling and milling force, effectively avoiding damage to the battery module due to excessive pressure or incomplete drilling and milling due to insufficient pressure, thereby ensuring the safety and efficiency of the disassembly operation; the robotic arm can accurately move the compound drilling and milling head 13 to the specified position, and can also adjust the angle and depth of the drilling and milling head according to the shape and position information of the battery pack to adapt to the disassembly requirements of different battery packs.

When the outer frame and back plate of the battery pack are cut, the hook hooks the clamp, the clamp clamps the outer frame and back plate, and the hook is lifted by the lifting device, and the clamp tears the outer frame and back plate from the battery pack. The clamp can be an electromagnet with power and magnetism. When the clamp clamps the outer frame and back plate, the clamp is powered on to generate magnetism to ensure that the clamp stably clamps the battery pack.

The intelligent transport module 2 lifts the battery pack and flips it horizontally, keeping the battery pack in a horizontal state with the back facing up, and then transports the battery pack to the thermal coupling disassembly module 4; d. The thermal coupling disassembly module 4 preheats the battery pack to reduce the hardness of the battery pack frame and back plate, and then cuts the battery pack frame and back plate in a state where the amplitude and frequency are adjustable to separate the frame and back plate; e. After cutting is completed, the battery pack frame and back panel are removed by the overhead crane module 5 and transported to a designated location for collection and processing.
[0029] As an improvement to the present invention, in step a, the battery pack is horizontally scanned by an automatic visual recognition and positioning camera 14 to automatically identify the position of the connecting piece. The robotic arm controls the position and angle of the compound drilling and milling head 13. The rotation speed of the compound drilling and milling head 13 is controlled by a servo motor 12 equipped with pressure feedback, and the pressure exerted on the compound drilling and milling head 13 is detected to adjust the rotation speed of the compound drilling and milling head 13 to a size that matches the pressure value.
[0030] As an improvement to the present invention, in step c, the intelligent transfer module 2 is automatically raised to a suitable flipping height by the automatic lifting platform 22 before the battery pack is flipped, and then the flipping fixture 21 flips the battery pack 180° horizontally, and then places the battery pack on the conveyor belt 23, which transfers the battery pack to the position of the thermal coupling disassembly module 4.

[0032] As an improved solution of the present invention, the overhead lifting module 5 is composed of a hook 52, a clamp 53, and a lifting device 51. The hook 52 is fixedly connected to the clamp 53. The clamp 53 is used to clamp the outer frame and back plate of the battery pack to cooperate with the lifting device 51 and the hook 52 to remove the outer frame and back plate; wherein, the clamp 53 can be an electromagnet with power and magnetism. After the clamp 53 clamps the outer frame and back plate, the clamp 53 is energized to generate magnetism, thereby achieving a firm clamping of the outer frame and back plate to prevent them from falling off during clamping.
