Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste battery dismantling technology, and in particular to a waste battery dismantling and processing device for removing the casing. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the installed capacity of power batteries continues to climb, and a large number of vehicle battery packs are gradually entering their concentrated retirement cycle. Retired battery packs contain scarce metal resources such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, as well as a large amount of hazardous chemicals. Currently, traditional dismantling methods are mostly manual and rough, lacking standardized and automated processes. This not only results in low dismantling efficiency and significant safety hazards but also easily causes environmental problems such as electrolyte leakage and heavy metal pollution.

[0003] Patent CN212018906U discloses a battery shell removal device for recycled lead processing, including a housing. Two symmetrically arranged transverse sliding rods are fixed inside the housing. A rectangular frame is slidably arranged between the two sliding rods, and a battery is placed inside the frame. Clamping devices for holding the battery are arranged on the left and right sides of the frame. A transverse lead screw is rotatably connected to the rear side of the housing. Ear plates are symmetrically fixed to the front and rear side walls of the right side of the housing, and band saw wheels are rotatably connected to each ear plate. The two band saw wheels are connected by a band saw. A transverse support plate is fixed inside the housing above the first partition, with its upper end flush with the upper end of the band saw. A second partition is fixed inside the first partition housing. This invention allows for the distributed disassembly of the battery, and the rational collection of different components, facilitating subsequent processing operations while maintaining high safety.

[0004] There are still some issues when disassembling the battery.

[0005] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, a large number of vehicle battery packs are gradually entering their retirement cycle. The recycling and dismantling of used battery packs has become a key link in implementing the circular economy and avoiding environmental pollution. During dismantling operations, the fixing effect at both ends of batteries of different specifications is not good, and batteries are prone to displacement and shaking. This not only affects the efficiency of dismantling the casing, but also poses safety hazards. Furthermore, the battery flipping angle is inconvenient to adjust, making it difficult to completely empty the internal cells, electrolytes, and other substances. The components of existing dismantling equipment have insufficient compatibility, and the efficiency of fixing and flipping operations is low, making it difficult to adapt to diverse battery specifications. There is an urgent need to optimize the component structure and improve the convenience and efficiency of dismantling. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Specifically, it should be noted that the first motor 103, the second motor 310 and the third motor 410 are electrically connected to the control unit via wires. The specific principle is based on existing technology and will not be elaborated on here. The top shell of the battery is held in place by the suction cup 106, and the shell can be easily removed by rotating the frame 105.

[0034] In one embodiment of this invention, the storage assembly includes a tray 2 mounted on the device body 1. A limiting plate 201 is fixedly connected to the tray 2. A pair of first bearing seats 202 are fixedly mounted on the tray 2. A rotating rod 203 is rotatably connected to the pair of first bearing seats 202. Arm plates 204 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating rod 203. A plug rod 205 is inserted into one end of the arm plate 204. A collar 206 is fixedly connected to the top end of the plug rod 205. A spring is sleeved on the plug rod 205. 207. The two ends of the spring 207 are fixedly connected to one side of the arm plate 204 and the bottom surface of the insert rod 205, respectively. A gear 208 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the rotating rod 203. A toothed plate 209 meshes on the gear 208. A base plate 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the toothed plate 209. A bracket 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 2. A cylinder 212 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the bottom surface of the bracket 211. The telescopic end of the cylinder 212 is fixedly connected to one end of the base plate 210.

[0035] Specifically, the battery is placed on both sides of the support plate 2, and then the cylinder 212 on the bracket 211 is operated. The operation of the cylinder 212 pulls the base plate 210 downward. The base plate 210 is fixedly connected to the toothed plate 209, and the toothed plate 209 and the gear 208 mesh with each other. The movement of the toothed plate 209 drives the gear 208 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 208 causes the rotating rod 203 to rotate, so that the insertion rod 205 on the arm plate 204 can be inserted into the hole on the battery for fixation by the elastic force of the spring 207.

[0036] In one embodiment of this invention, the sliding assembly includes a shelf 3 fixedly installed on one side of the support plate 2. A side rod 301 is fixedly connected to the shelf 3. The side rod 301 is rotatably connected to a moving plate 302. A positioning plate 303 is fixedly connected to the middle of the moving plate 302. A slider 304 is fixedly installed on the positioning plate 303. The slider 304 is slidably connected to a slide rail 305. The slide rail 305 is fixedly installed on the device body 1. A pin 306 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 303. A linkage plate 307 is rotatably connected to the pin 306.

The second motor 310 is fixedly installed at the rear of the device body 1.

[0037] Specifically, when fixing batteries of different sizes on both sides, the second motor 310 operates to rotate the main shaft 309. One end of the main shaft 309 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 308. The rotation of the main shaft 309 causes the rotating plate 308 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 308 pulls the positioning plate 303 on the pin 306 to move through the linkage plate 307. The movement of the positioning plate 303 causes the slider 304 to slide on the slide rail 305. The push of the positioning plate 303 causes the side rod 301 on the moving plate 302 to push the support plate 2 to move as a whole. This is suitable for fixing batteries of different sizes.

[0038] In one embodiment of this invention, the flipping assembly includes a first pulley 4 fixedly installed at one end of a side rod 301. A first transmission belt 401 is sleeved on the first pulley 4. The bottom end of the first transmission belt 401 is sleeved on a second pulley 402. The second pulley 402 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 403. The outer surface of the sleeve 403 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of a moving plate 302. A crossbar 404 is rotatably connected inside the sleeve 403. Both ends of the crossbar 404 are rotatably connected to a second bearing 405. The bottom end of the second bearing 405 is fixedly connected to the device body 1. A third pulley 406 is fixedly connected to the middle end of the crossbar 404. A second transmission belt 407 is sleeved on the third pulley 406. The other end of the second transmission belt 407 is sleeved on a fourth pulley 408. The fourth pulley 408 is fixedly connected to one end of a drive rod 409. The other end of the drive rod 409 is fixedly connected to the output end of a third motor 410. The third motor 410 is fixedly installed on the device body 1.

[0039] Specifically, when the tray 2 is rotated for easy disassembly, the third motor 410 operates to rotate the fourth pulley 408 on the drive rod 409. The rotation of the fourth pulley 408 drives the third pulley 406 to rotate via the second transmission belt 407. The rotation of the third pulley 406 causes the crossbar 404 to rotate. The crossbar 404 is slidably connected to the second pulley 402. The rotation of the crossbar 404 causes the second pulley 402 to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley 402 drives the first pulley 4 to rotate via the first transmission belt 401, thereby facilitating the tilting of the tray 2 to the battery for easy disassembly.

[0040] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The two sides of the battery are placed on the support plate 2, and then the cylinder 212 on the bracket 211 is operated. The operation of the cylinder 212 pulls the base plate 210 downward. The base plate 210 is fixedly connected to the toothed plate 209, and the toothed plate 209 and the gear 208 mesh with each other. The movement of the toothed plate 209 drives the gear 208 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 208 causes the rotating rod 203 to rotate, so that the insertion rod 205 on the arm plate 204 can be inserted into the hole on the battery for fixation by the elastic force of the spring 207.

[0041] When fixing batteries of different sizes on both sides, the second motor 310 operates to rotate the main shaft 309. One end of the main shaft 309 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 308. The rotation of the main shaft 309 causes the rotating plate 308 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 308 pulls the positioning plate 303 on the pin 306 to move through the linkage plate 307. The movement of the positioning plate 303 causes the slider 304 to slide on the slide rail 305. The push of the positioning plate 303 causes the side rod 301 on the moving plate 302 to push the support plate 2 to move as a whole. This is suitable for fixing batteries of different sizes.

[0042] When the tray 2 is rotated to facilitate disassembly, the third motor 410 operates, causing the fourth pulley 408 on the drive rod 409 to rotate. The rotation of the fourth pulley 408 drives the third pulley 406 to rotate via the second transmission belt 407. The rotation of the third pulley 406 causes the crossbar 404 to rotate. The crossbar 404 is slidably connected to the second pulley 402. The rotation of the crossbar 404 causes the second pulley 402 to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley 402 drives the first pulley 4 to rotate via the first transmission belt 401, thereby facilitating the tilting of the tray 2 to the battery for easy disassembly.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
