Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of disassembly equipment technology, and in particular to a battery disassembly equipment and disassembly method. Background Technology

[0002] Existing battery dismantling equipment typically integrates core structural modules such as automated feeding, multi-stage cutting and crushing, physical sorting, and environmentally friendly treatment. It separates the battery casing from the internal cells through mechanical cutting, laser cutting, or high-pressure gas crushing, and further utilizes processes such as screening, air separation, and magnetic separation to recover high-value materials such as copper, aluminum, separators, and positive and negative electrode black powder. It can efficiently recover scarce metals such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, alleviating resource shortages and reducing dependence on primary mineral deposits, thus promoting the establishment of a circular economy system for power batteries. On the other hand, through closed and harmless treatment, it significantly reduces electrolyte evaporation and dust emissions, effectively controlling heavy metal pollution and the risk of combustion and explosion, contributing to the green and low-carbon disposal of waste batteries and the sustainable development of the new energy vehicle industry. However, existing battery dismantling equipment typically uses fixed or manually replaceable cutting mechanisms. For example, laser cutting systems are often used for hard-shell batteries to ensure accuracy and safety, while mechanical cutting methods are often used for soft-pack or cylindrical batteries. However, these devices cannot automatically and quickly change the dismantling body (especially the cutting mechanism) according to the structural type of the battery to be dismantled. This results in frequent machine stops for manual type change or adjustment when dealing with the dismantling of multiple battery models. The compatibility is poor, the type change efficiency is low, and it is difficult to achieve continuous and flexible production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a battery disassembly device and disassembly method that can automatically change the structure type of the disassembly body according to the battery structure to be disassembled, so as to be compatible with the disassembly and processing of various battery types such as square, cylindrical and pouch, so as to quickly and stably complete the disassembly of different types of batteries in actual use.

Each limiting bracket has a corresponding insertion boss that matches the clamping grooves on both sides of the inner groove adapter. The sliding bracket is slidably mounted on one side of the mounting plate. Each sliding bracket is provided with a connector, one side of which is rotatably connected to the limiting bracket, and the other side of which is rotatably connected to the sliding bracket. The output end of the sliding cylinder is connected to the sliding bracket, and the sliding cylinder is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate.

The system absorbs harmful gases or dust impurities within the main processing chamber. After the corresponding battery cutting and disassembly are completed, the mounting component will drive the assembled mechanical cutting mechanism or laser cutting mechanism to reset, so that it can cooperate with the clamping component to place the corresponding mechanical cutting mechanism or laser cutting mechanism on the designated mounting frame. This enables the automatic switching of the structure type of the disassembly body according to the battery structure that needs to be disassembled, so as to be compatible with the disassembly and processing of various battery types such as square, cylindrical and pouch cells. This allows for the quick and stable disassembly of different types of batteries in actual use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 8This invention provides a battery disassembly device and method, comprising a main processing unit 101, a lifting door 102, a feeding rack 103, a clamping mechanism 104, a purification mechanism 105, and a disassembly main assembly. The disassembly main assembly includes a mounting frame 106, a mechanical cutting mechanism 107, a laser cutting mechanism 108, clamping components, and mounting components. The clamping components include a side clamping block 201, a rotating clamp 202, a co-rotating gear 203, a rotary drive motor 204, and a guide component. The mounting components include an inner groove adapter platform 301, a mounting plate 302, an inner clamping component, and a position adjustment component. The guide component includes a guide hole positioning block 401 and an adapter guide post 402. The inner clamping component includes a limiting insert 501, a sliding frame 502, a connecting piece 503, and a sliding cylinder 504. The position adjustment component includes a horizontal moving frame 601 and a side moving frame 602. The device includes a lifting frame 603 and a transfer frame 604. The mounting component also includes a connecting plug 701 and a socket module 702. The position adjustment component includes a flip motor 605, a rotary motor 606, a lifting cylinder 607, a lead screw lateral movement mechanism 608, and a lead screw side movement mechanism 609. The aforementioned solution solves the problem that existing battery disassembly devices typically use fixed or manually replaceable cutting mechanisms. For example, laser cutting systems are often used for hard-shell batteries to ensure accuracy and safety, while mechanical cutting methods are often used for soft-pack or cylindrical batteries. However, these devices cannot automatically and quickly change the disassembly body (especially the cutting mechanism) according to the structural type of the battery to be disassembled. This results in frequent machine stops for manual type change or adjustment when disassembling multiple battery models, leading to poor compatibility, low type change efficiency, and difficulty in achieving continuous and flexible production.

[0029] Furthermore, the lifting door panel 102 is installed on one side of the processing main box 101, the feeding rack 103 is installed inside the processing main box 101, the clamping mechanism 104 is installed on the feeding rack 103, the purification mechanism 105 is located on one side of the processing main box 101, and two mounting brackets 106 are fixedly installed in the lateral built-in groove of the feeding rack 103. The two mounting brackets 106 are respectively located on the left and right inner walls of the lateral built-in groove. The mechanical cutting mechanism 107 is installed on one of the mounting brackets 106 through the clamping component, and the laser cutting mechanism 108 is installed on the other mounting bracket 106 through the clamping component. Two sets of clamping components are provided to realize the installation and placement of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108, respectively. The mounting component is connected to the processing main box 101 and is used to drive the corresponding cutting mechanism to work.

[0030] In this embodiment, the lifting door 102 mainly consists of a corresponding transparent glass sliding door and a door drive structure. The corresponding drive structure drives the transparent glass sliding door to move up and down, so that the processing main box 101 can be closed during operation, preventing harmful gases and substances generated during processing from being directly released into the external environment.

[0031] The feeding rack 103 mainly consists of a feeding platform and a side platform. The lateral built-in groove is set on the side platform. The clamping mechanism 104 is set on the feeding platform. The clamping mechanism 104 mainly consists of corresponding clamping blocks and clamping block driving structure. By moving the clamping blocks relative to each other, the battery raw materials placed on the feeding platform can be clamped and limited, so that the battery raw materials will not shift or slide during disassembly and processing.

[0032] The purification mechanism 105 mainly consists of an air intake element and a built-in filter purification element. The air intake element can absorb harmful gases and substances inside the processing main box 101, and then the filter purification element can perform corresponding treatment and purification.

[0033] Both the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108 consist of corresponding control boxes and cutting main components, which are common existing cutting main equipment. The cutting main component of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 is a cutting disc, and the cutting main component of the laser cutting mechanism 108 is a laser head. The control boxes of both the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108 are equipped with corresponding control circuits and corresponding communication modules. It should be noted that the control box does not have an independent power supply, so it needs to be connected to an external power supply to operate normally. This is to avoid the independent power supply of the cutting mechanism being directly affected by the long-term inactivity of one of the cutting mechanisms. Therefore, using an external circuit can effectively ensure the long-term stable operation of the two corresponding cutting mechanisms. Moreover, if an independent power supply is used, it will require regular maintenance and charging, which makes subsequent maintenance more troublesome.

[0034] In actual operation, the battery to be disassembled is first placed on the material placement platform of the feeding rack 103 via the clamping mechanism 104. The type of cutting equipment is selected in advance according to the battery type and related technical requirements. Based on the selected equipment type, the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 or the laser cutting mechanism 108 is assembled via the mounting component. Then, the mounting component drives the assembled mechanical cutting mechanism 107 or laser cutting mechanism 108 to cut and disassemble the battery placed on the feeding rack 103. During the disassembly process, the lifting door 102 is closed, and the processing is simultaneously cleaned by the purification mechanism 105. Harmful gases or dust impurities inside the main box 101 are absorbed. After the corresponding battery cutting and disassembly is completed, the mounting component will drive the assembled mechanical cutting mechanism 107 or laser cutting mechanism 108 to reset, so as to cooperate with the clamping component to place the corresponding mechanical cutting mechanism 107 or laser cutting mechanism 108 on the designated mounting bracket 106. This realizes that the structure type of the disassembly body can be automatically changed according to the battery structure to be disassembled as needed, so as to be compatible with the disassembly and processing of various battery types such as square, cylindrical and pouch, so that the disassembly of different types of batteries can be completed quickly and stably in actual use.

[0035] Furthermore, the side clamping blocks 201 are fixedly installed on both sides of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108; two rotating clamps 202 are rotatably installed on each of the two mounting frames 106, and the bottom of the rotating clamp 202 is provided with arc-shaped clamping teeth that are adapted to the arc-shaped clamping grooves provided on the side of the side clamping block 201; each rotating clamp 202 is fixedly installed with a co-rotating gear 203, and the two rotating clamps 202 installed on the same mounting frame 106 are connected by the co-rotating gear 203; two rotary drive motors 204 are respectively installed on the two mounting frames 106, and the two rotary drive motors 204 are respectively used to drive one of the rotating clamps 202 installed on the two mounting frames 106; the guide component is connected to the mounting frame 106 and is used to position and guide the corresponding cutting mechanism.

[0036] Furthermore, both the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108 are fixedly installed with the guide hole positioning block 401; both of the fixed brackets 106 are fixedly installed with the adapter guide post 402, and the adapter guide post 402 is adapted to the positioning guide hole provided on the guide hole positioning block 401.

[0037] In this embodiment, when in use, the control main box of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108 is provided with corresponding side clamping blocks 201 on both sides. The side clamping blocks 201 are provided with corresponding arc-shaped grooves on their outer sides. The rotating clamps 202 are provided with corresponding arc-shaped teeth that cooperate with the arc-shaped grooves of the side clamping blocks 201. In this way, the two rotating clamps 202 on the same mounting bracket 106 can cooperate to clamp the side clamping blocks 201 provided on both sides of the control main box of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 or the laser cutting mechanism 108, thereby realizing the clamping and limiting of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108.

[0038] Two rotating clamps 202 provided on the same mounting bracket 106 cooperate with each other through the co-rotating gear 203. Therefore, when one of the rotating clamps 202 provided on the mounting bracket 106 is driven by the rotary drive motor 204, the other cooperating rotating clamp 202 will rotate accordingly under the drive of the co-rotating gear 203, so as to realize the corresponding drive of the two rotating clamps 202.

[0039] The top of the control main box of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108 are provided with corresponding guide hole positioning blocks 401. At the same time, the guide hole positioning blocks 401 cooperate with the adapter guide posts 402 on the mounting bracket 106 to guide the position of the corresponding cutting mechanism when resetting and placing it, thereby making the subsequent cooperation between the rotating clamp 202 and the side clamp block 201 faster and more stable.

[0040] Furthermore, both the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108 are fixedly mounted with the inner groove adapter stage 301; the mounting plate 302 is provided with an adapter slot that mates with the inner groove adapter stage 301, and the mounting plate 302 is connected to the processing main box 101 through the position adjustment component; the inner clamping component is connected to the mounting plate 302 and is used to clamp and limit the inner groove adapter stage 301 that mates with the mounting plate 302; the position adjustment component is connected to the processing main box 101 and is used to adjust the mating position of the mounting plate 302.

[0041] Furthermore, the two limiting inserts 501 are slidably mounted on both sides of the mounting plate 302. Each limiting insert 501 has a corresponding insertion protrusion that matches the clamping grooves on both sides of the inner groove adapter 301. The sliding frame 502 is slidably mounted on one side of the mounting plate 302. Each sliding frame 502 is provided with a connector 503. One side of the connector 503 is rotatably connected to the limiting insert 501, and the other side of the connector 503 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 502. The output end of the sliding cylinder 504 is connected to the sliding frame 502, and the sliding cylinder 504 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 302.

[0042] Furthermore, both the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108 are provided with the connecting plug 701 on the side near the inner groove adapter platform 301; the socket module 702 is mounted on the mounting plate 302, and the socket module 702 is provided with a plug interface for cooperating with the connecting plug 701.

[0043] In this embodiment, the adapter slots provided on the mounting plate 302 match the inner groove adapter platform 301 located on the outside of the control main box of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108. The inner groove adapter platform 301 has corresponding insertion holes on both sides. The mounting plate 302 cooperates with the insertion holes on both sides of the inner groove adapter platform 301 through the limiting brackets 501 provided on both sides. The two limiting brackets 501 are connected to the sliding frame 502 through the connecting member 503. The sliding frame 502 is driven by the sliding cylinder 504. When the sliding cylinder 504 drives the sliding frame 502 to move up and down, the connecting member 503 will cause the limiting brackets 501 on both sides to unfold or move closer together through the movement of the sliding frame 502, thereby realizing the clamping and limiting of the inner groove adapter platform 301.

[0044] The mounting plate 302 is also provided with a corresponding socket module 702. The socket module 702 is connected to the entire control circuit through corresponding lines. The connector 701 is located on the outside of the control main box of the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 and the laser cutting mechanism 108. The power supply and electrical connection of the corresponding cutting main body mechanism can be realized through the cooperation of the connector 701 and the socket module 702. Before the socket module 702 and the connector 701 are engaged, the adapter slot of the mounting plate 302 will be engaged with the inner slot adapter platform 301 in advance to facilitate early guidance and positioning, and ensure the stable insertion and engagement of the socket module 702 and the connector 701 in the future.

[0045] Furthermore, the transverse transfer frame 601 is slidably mounted on the top inner side of the processing main box 101; the side transfer frame 602 is slidably mounted on the transverse transfer frame 601; the lifting frame 603 is slidably mounted on the side transfer frame 602; the transfer frame 604 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 302 and rotatably mounted on the bottom of the lifting frame 603.

[0046] Furthermore, the output shaft of the flip motor 605 is connected to the mounting plate 302, and the flip motor 605 is fixedly mounted on the transfer frame 604; the output shaft of the rotary motor 606 is connected to the transfer frame 604, and the rotary motor 606 is fixedly mounted on the lifting frame 603; the lead screw transverse movement mechanism 608 is connected to the processing main box 101 and is used to drive the transverse movement frame 601 to move; the lead screw lateral movement mechanism 609 is connected to the transverse movement frame 601 and is used to drive the lateral movement frame 602 to move.

[0047] In this embodiment, the transverse frame 601 and the lateral frame 602 are driven by the lead screw transverse mechanism 608 and the lead screw lateral mechanism 609, respectively. Both the lead screw transverse mechanism 608 and the lead screw lateral mechanism 609 consist of a lead screw and a motor driving the lead screw. The rotation of the lead screw drives the corresponding frame to move. The transverse frame 601 moves back and forth on the top of the processing main box 101, thus adjusting the position of the mounting plate 302 and the corresponding cutting mechanism that cooperates with the mounting plate 302. The left and right positions of the mounting plate 302 and the corresponding structure can be adjusted by moving the side shift frame 602 left and right on the transverse shift frame 601. Then, the height of the mounting plate 302 and the corresponding structure can be adjusted by moving the lifting frame 603 up and down on the side shift frame 602. Finally, the mating angle of the mounting plate 302 and the corresponding structure can be adjusted by rotating the transfer frame 604 at the bottom of the lifting frame 603 and by rotating the mounting plate 302 on the transfer frame 604.

[0048] The lifting frame 603 is driven by the lifting cylinder 607, the transfer frame 604 is driven by the rotary motor 606, and the mounting plate 302 is driven by the flipping motor 605.

[0049] During actual processing, the position adjustment component drives the mounting plate 302 to cooperate with the mechanical cutting mechanism 107 or the laser cutting mechanism 108 provided on the side of the corresponding fixed frame. Through the insertion and cooperation of the mounting plate 302 and the inner groove adapter 301, and the clamping and limiting of the inner clamping component, the corresponding cutting mechanism can be stably installed on one side of the mounting plate 302. After the corresponding cutting mechanism is assembled with the mounting plate 302, the two rotating clamps 202 on the fixed frame 106 will open, and then the corresponding cutting mechanism will follow the mounting plate 302 to make corresponding position adjustments, thereby completing the subsequent disassembly operation. After the work is completed, the mounting plate 302 will drive the corresponding cutting mechanism to reset under the action of the position adjustment component, so that the corresponding cutting mechanism can cooperate with the rotating clamps 202 provided on the corresponding fixed frame 106 to complete the clamping and placement of the corresponding cutting mechanism, which is convenient for quick assembly and conversion of the corresponding cutting mechanism in the next processing.

[0050] Furthermore, the disassembly main assembly provided by the present invention also includes a sealing sliding door 801, a dual-drive lead screw 802, and a drive motor 803.

[0051] Furthermore, the two blocking sliding doors 801 are slidably installed on both sides of the feeding rack 103, and the sliding of the two blocking sliding doors 801 can block the lateral built-in groove provided on the feeding rack 103; the two sides of the dual drive screw 802 are respectively threaded to the two blocking sliding doors 801, and the dual drive screw 802 is rotatably installed on the feeding rack 103; the output shaft of the drive motor 803 is connected to the dual drive screw 802, and the drive motor 803 is fixedly installed on one side of the feeding rack 103.

[0052] In this embodiment, the two blocking sliding doors 801 are driven by the dual-drive lead screw 802 and the drive motor 803. The threads on both sides of the dual-drive lead screw 802 have opposite directions. The bottom of the blocking sliding door 801 is provided with a corresponding inner plate for cooperating with a designated end of the dual-drive lead screw 802. When the dual-drive lead screw 802 is driven by the drive motor 803, the two blocking sliding doors 801 will move closer to each other or unfold, so that when one cutting mechanism is working, the other cutting mechanism can be shielded and protected by the blocking sliding door 801, preventing impurities and dust generated during processing from adhering to the placed cutting mechanism.

[0053] Please see Figure 9 A battery disassembly method, using the aforementioned battery disassembly device, includes the following steps. S1: The battery that needs to be disassembled is placed on the material placement platform of the material placement rack 103 through the clamping mechanism 104; S2: Select the type of cutting equipment in advance based on the type of battery and related technical requirements; Specifically, when selecting the type of cutting equipment, the choice between mechanical cutting and laser cutting is mainly based on the actual size of the battery and the cutting and dismantling process. In actual operation, the appropriate vision judgment system can be set up for automatic judgment, or the operator can select and judge based on experience and actual requirements.
