DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] It should be noted that, for the convenience of explanation, in the embodiments of the present application, the same figure marks represent the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments.

[0039] When recycling batteries, it is usually necessary to remove the shells of the batteries first, and then recycle the aluminum shells of the batteries and the battery cells inside. Existing shell opening equipment uses a wheel knife or a circular knife to cut the battery shells (i.e., active cutting). However, a large amount of heat is generated in the process of the wheel knife or the circular knife rotating to cut the battery shell, which causes the insulating film inside the battery, such as Mylar (also known as blue film), to melt, affecting the recycling of battery materials. In addition, debris is generated during the cutting process, and the debris is easy to enter the battery cells, thereby contaminating the battery cells.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a shell opening device 100, which is used to open or press-cut a target object 10a. The shell opening device 100 includes a carrier 10, a clamping mechanism 20, a conveying mechanism 30, a cutting mechanism 40, and a moving mechanism 50. The clamping mechanism 20 is disposed on the carrier 10 and is used to clamp the target object 10a; the conveying mechanism 30 is used to convey the target object 10a to the clamping mechanism 20; the cutting mechanism 40 and the conveying mechanism 30 are moved along a first direction (such as Figure 1 The target object 10a is provided with a cutting mechanism 40 (as shown by arrow X), and the cutting mechanism 40 is used to press and cut the target object 10a to open the shell of the target object 10a; the moving mechanism 50 is at least partially located between the conveying mechanism 30 and the cutting mechanism 40, and the moving mechanism 50 is connected to the supporting platform 10, and is used to drive the supporting platform 10 to move relative to the cutting mechanism 40, thereby driving the target object 10a to move relative to the cutting mechanism 40 to achieve press and cut of the target object 10a.

[0041] The shell opening device 100 of the present application can be used to open the cover or shell of an electronic product such as a battery. It can be understood that the target object 10a can be but is not limited to a battery. In the embodiment of the present application, for ease of understanding, the target object 10a is described and illustrated by taking a battery as an example, which should not be understood as a limitation of the shell opening device 100 of the embodiment of the present application.

[0042] It can be understood that the carrying platform 10 has a carrying surface 11 , and the clamping mechanism 20 is fixed on the carrying platform 10 .

[0043] It should be noted that, in the initial position, the support platform 10 and the clamping mechanism 20 are located between the cutting mechanism 40 and the conveying mechanism 30 .

[0044] The following takes a battery as an example to introduce the shell opening process of the shell opening device 100. The battery includes an aluminum shell and an end cover. The aluminum shell and the end cover enclose a closed receiving cavity and the aluminum shell and the end cover are welded and connected. An electrode assembly is arranged in the receiving cavity. The electrode assembly is electrically connected to the end cover, and the periphery of the electrode assembly is wrapped with an insulating blue film. When the shell opening device 100 is working, the transport mechanism 30 transports the battery to the clamping mechanism 20. After the clamping mechanism 20 clamps and fixes the battery, the mobile mechanism 50 moves the carrier 10 together with the clamping mechanism 20 and the battery to the preset position. The mobile mechanism 50 drives the carrier 10 to drive the battery to move toward the direction close to the cutting mechanism 40 at a preset rate, thereby performing press cutting. When the target object 10a moves around the cutting mechanism 40, the aluminum shell is separated from the end cap; then the transport mechanism 30 clamps the end cap-electrode assembly (at this time, the end cap and the electrode assembly are still connected), thereby separating the end cap-electrode assembly from the aluminum shell and placing it in the next station; then the clamping mechanism 20 releases the aluminum shell, and the transport mechanism 30 transfers the aluminum shell to the recycling position. In this way, the battery is continuously opened. It should be noted that after the shell opening is completed, the transfer of the end cap-electrode assembly and the aluminum shell and the movement of the new battery can be performed simultaneously to improve the shell opening efficiency.

[0045] It should be noted that, during the process of opening the shell and pressing the target object 10a, the cutting mechanism 40 is stationary, and the target object 10a moves relative to the cutting mechanism 40, so that the pressing is performed.

[0046] In this embodiment, the shell opening device 100 includes a carrier 10, a clamping mechanism 20, a conveying mechanism 30, a cutting mechanism 40 and a moving mechanism 50. When the target object 10a is pressed and cut, the cutting mechanism 40 is stationary, and the moving mechanism 50 drives the carrier 10 and the clamping mechanism 20 to connect the target object 10a and move toward the direction close to the cutting mechanism 40, thereby realizing the pressing and shell opening of the target object 10a by pressing and cutting. Compared with the active cutting method of the cutting mechanism 40, this unpowered pressing and cutting method of the cutting mechanism 40 generates less heat. When the shell opening device 100 is used to open the battery, the insulating blue film in the battery will not be damaged. In addition, compared with the active cutting method of the cutting mechanism 40, this unpowered pressing and cutting method of the cutting mechanism 40 is not easy to generate debris, which can avoid the pollution of the electrode assembly after the debris enters the electrode assembly, thereby improving the recycling efficiency of the electrode assembly and the recycling quality of the electrode material.

[0047] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 50 is disposed on a side of the carrier 10 away from the clamping mechanism 20, and the moving mechanism 50 includes a first moving component 51 and a second moving component 52, wherein the first moving component 51 is located between the carrier 10 and the second moving component 52, the first moving component 51 is used to drive the carrier 10 to move along a first direction, and the second moving component 52 is used to drive the carrier 10 to move along a second direction (such as Figure 5 The first direction and the second direction intersect each other, and a plane formed by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to a surface of the carrier platform 10 facing the clamping mechanism 20.

[0048] It can be understood that the clamping mechanism 20, the supporting platform 10 and the moving mechanism 50 are stacked in sequence.

[0049] It can be understood that the clamping mechanism 20, the carrying platform 10, the first moving assembly 51 and the second moving assembly 52 are arranged along the third direction (eg Figure 5 The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are arranged in sequence as shown by arrow Z, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect with each other.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0051] It can be understood that the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to the bearing surface 11 .

[0052] In the related art, two circular knives or wheel knives are used for active cutting. Although the two circular knives or wheel knives can improve the cutting efficiency, it is easy to cause the target object 10a to be unable to be cut off due to different cutting heights. For example, when opening the battery cover, the aluminum shell of the battery cannot be completely separated from the end cover, thereby affecting the battery shell opening efficiency.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first moving component 51 and the second moving component 52 cooperate to drive the carrier 10 to move to any position within the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction to adjust the relative position of the target 10a and the cutting mechanism 40. In addition, the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to the surface of the carrier 10 facing the clamping mechanism 20, so that when the moving mechanism 50 drives the carrier 10 and the clamping mechanism 20 to move, the target 10a is always kept on the same horizontal plane. In this way, the target 10a can be pressed or shelled more accurately, avoiding the risk of the shell of the target 10a not being able to be opened due to different cutting heights when pressing and cutting around all sides (for example, the aluminum shell and the end cover cannot be separated).

[0054] In some embodiments, the first movable component 51 includes a first slider 511 and a first guide rail 512, the first slider is connected to the side of the support platform 10 away from the clamping mechanism 20, the first slider 511 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 512 along the first direction, and the first guide rail 512 extends along the first direction; the second movable component 52 includes a second slider 521 and a second guide rail 522, the second slider is connected to the side of the first guide rail 512 away from the support platform 10, the second slider 521 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 522 along the second direction, and the second guide rail 522 extends along the second direction.

[0055] It can be understood that the first slider 511 is fixed to a side of the carrying platform 10 away from the carrying surface 11 , and the second slider 521 is fixed to a side of the first guide rail 512 away from the first slider 511 .

[0056] Optionally, the supporting platform 10 , the first slider 511 , the first guide rail 512 , the second slider 521 , and the second guide rail 522 are sequentially arranged along the third direction.

[0057] It can be understood that the transport mechanism 30 , the second guide rail 522 and the cutting mechanism 40 are arranged in sequence along the first direction, and the first guide rail 512 extends from the transport mechanism 30 to the cutting mechanism 40 and extends to the side of the cutting mechanism 40 away from the transport mechanism 30 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the first guide rail 512, the first slider 511, the second guide rail 522 and the second slider 521 can drive the carrier 10 to move to any position in the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction, thereby driving the target object 10a to move in the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction, thereby improving the moving efficiency of the target object 10a. The moving mechanism 50 of this embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0059] See also Figure 6 In other embodiments, the moving mechanism 50 is disposed on a side of the carrier 10 away from the clamping mechanism 20, and the moving mechanism 50 includes a first moving component 51 and a second moving component 52, the second moving component 52 is located between the carrier 10 and the first moving component 51, the first moving component 51 is used to drive the carrier 10 to move along a first direction, and the second moving component 52 is used to drive the carrier 10 to move along a second direction (such as Figure 6 The first direction and the second direction intersect each other, and a plane formed by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to a surface of the carrier platform 10 facing the clamping mechanism 20.

[0060] It can be understood that the clamping mechanism 20, the supporting platform 10 and the moving mechanism 50 are stacked in sequence.

[0061] It can be understood that the clamping mechanism 20, the carrying platform 10, the second moving assembly 52 and the first moving assembly 51 are arranged along the third direction (eg Figure 6 The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are arranged in sequence as shown by arrow Z, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect with each other.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0063] It can be understood that the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to the bearing surface 11 .

[0064] In the related art, two circular knives or wheel knives are used for active cutting. Although the two circular knives or wheel knives can improve the cutting efficiency, it is easy to cause the target object 10a to be unable to be cut off due to different cutting heights. For example, when opening the battery cover, the aluminum shell of the battery cannot be completely separated from the end cover, thereby affecting the battery shell opening efficiency.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first moving component 51 and the second moving component 52 cooperate to drive the carrier 10 to move to any position within the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction to adjust the relative position of the target 10a and the cutting mechanism 40. In addition, the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction is parallel to the surface of the carrier 10 facing the clamping mechanism 20, so that when the moving mechanism 50 drives the carrier 10 and the clamping mechanism 20 to move, the target 10a is always kept on the same horizontal plane. In this way, the target 10a can be pressed or shelled more accurately, avoiding the risk of the shell of the target 10a not being able to be opened due to different cutting heights when pressing and cutting around all sides (for example, the aluminum shell and the end cover cannot be separated).

[0070] In this embodiment, the first guide rail 512, the first slider 511, the second guide rail 522 and the second slider 521 can drive the carrier 10 to move to any position in the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction, thereby driving the target object 10a to move in the plane formed by the first direction and the second direction, thereby improving the moving efficiency of the target object 10a. The moving mechanism 50 of this embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first moving component 51 also includes a first driving member 513, which is disposed on the first slider 511 and is used to drive the first slider 511 to slide relative to the first guide rail 512 along a first direction; the second moving component 52 also includes a second driving member 523, which is disposed on the second slider 521 and is used to drive the second slider 521 to slide relative to the second guide rail 522 along a second direction.

At this time, the battery 10b is located between the cutting mechanism 40 and the conveying mechanism 30. The first side 111b and the third side 113b both extend in the first direction, and the second side 112b and the fourth side 114b both extend in the fourth direction. The height of the wheel knife 43 is adjusted by the height adjusting member 42 so that the cutting position of the wheel knife 43 is at a position where the aluminum shell 11b is close to the end cover 12b. The first driving member 513 drives the first slider 511 to move along the first direction toward the end cover 12b. The first driving member 523 drives the second slider 521 to move in the direction close to the wheel cutter 43, thereby pressing and cutting the first edge 111b; then the second driving member 523 drives the second slider 521 to move in the second direction close to the wheel cutter 43, thereby pressing and cutting the second edge 112b; then the first driving member 523 drives the first slider 511 to move in the first direction close to the wheel cutter 43, thereby pressing and cutting the third edge 113b; then the second driving member 523 drives the second slider 521 to move in the second direction close to the wheel cutter 43, thereby pressing and cutting the fourth edge 114b; when the first edge 111b, the second edge 112b, the third edge 113b and the fourth edge 114b are all pressed and cut (i.e., they are pressed and cut around the aluminum shell 11b or the outer periphery of the battery 10b), the end cover 12b is cut off and separated from the aluminum shell 11b. During the pressing and cutting, the horizontal position of the battery 10b remains unchanged, and the height of the wheel cutter 43 also remains unchanged, so the pressing and cutting around the aluminum shell 11b is always kept at the same height. It can be understood that when performing the pressing and cutting, the pressing and cutting depth of the wheel cutter 43 can be adjusted by adjusting the relative position of the battery 10 b and the wheel cutter 43 through the moving mechanism 50 , thereby achieving the adjustment of the pressing and cutting depth of the wheel cutter 43 .

[0078] Optionally, the first mounting frame 41 includes a first frame portion 411, a second frame portion 412, and a third frame portion 413 that are bent and connected in sequence, the first frame portion 411 and the second frame portion 412 are bent toward the same side relative to the second frame portion 412, the height adjustment member 42, the first frame portion 411, and the third frame portion 413 are located on the same side of the second frame portion 412, one end of the height adjustment member 42 is connected to the second frame portion 412 and is located between the first frame portion 411 and the third frame portion 413, and one end of the height adjustment member 42 that is away from the second frame portion 412 is connected to the wheel knife 43. The first frame portion 411, the third frame portion 413, and the height adjustment member 42 all extend along the third direction, and the second frame portion 412 extends along the second direction. The second guide rail 522 is arranged between the first frame portion 411 and the third frame portion 413 and extends to the side of the first mounting frame 41 that is away from the conveying mechanism 30.

[0079] In this embodiment, the height of the wheel cutter 43 in the third direction can be adjusted by the height adjustment member 42, so that the position of the target object 10a, such as a battery, can be better adjusted. When the cut is performed, the wheel cutter 43 does not move (i.e., it has no power), so that less heat is generated when the target object 10a is cut. When the shell opening device 100 is used to open the battery, the insulating blue film in the battery will not be damaged. In addition, the unpowered cutting method of the cutting mechanism 40 is not easy to generate debris, which can prevent the debris from entering the electrode assembly and causing contamination to the electrode assembly, thereby improving the recycling efficiency of the electrode assembly and the recycling quality of the electrode material.

[0080] See also Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the clamping mechanism 20 includes a jig 21, an actuator 22 and a clamp 23. The jig 21 is disposed on the supporting platform 10. The jig 21 has a receiving cavity 211 and a through hole 212 connected to the receiving cavity 211. The receiving cavity 211 is used to place the target object 10a. The actuator 22 is disposed on the jig 21 and connected to the clamp 23. The actuator 22 is used to drive the clamp 23 to move in the through hole 212 to clamp or release the target object 10a.

[0081] It can be understood that the receiving cavity 211 has an opening. After the transport mechanism 30 clamps the target object 10 a , it is placed into the receiving cavity 211 through the opening. The through hole 212 passes through the side wall of the fixture 21 .

[0082] It should be noted that the actuator 22 is used to drive the clamping jaw 23 to move toward or away from the receiving cavity 211. When the clamping jaw 23 moves toward the receiving cavity 211 in the through hole 212, the clamping jaw 23 clamps the target object 10a, and when the clamping jaw 23 moves toward the direction away from the receiving cavity 211 in the through hole 212, the clamping jaw 23 releases the target object 10a.

[0083] Optionally, the actuator 22 may be, but is not limited to, a clamping cylinder, and the clamp 23 may be, but is not limited to, a cylinder clamp 23 .

[0084] In a specific embodiment, the number of the through holes 212 is two, and the two through holes 212 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixture 21. The number of the actuators 22 and the clamps 23 are both two, and the actuators 22 and the clamps 23 are arranged one-to-one (that is, one actuator 22 is connected to one clamp 23, and different actuators 22 are connected to different clamps 23). Each clamp 23 is movably arranged in a through hole 212, and different clamps 23 are movably arranged in different through holes 212. When the two actuators 22 drive the two clamps 23 to move toward the direction close to the receiving cavity 211 at the same time, the two clamps 23 clamp the target object 10a in the receiving cavity 211; when the two actuators 22 drive the two clamps 23 to move toward the direction away from the receiving cavity 211 at the same time, the two clamps 23 release the target object 10a in the receiving cavity 211. In other embodiments, the number of actuators 22 and clamps 23 can also be other numbers. It can be understood that the actuator 22 and the clamping jaws 23 are arranged in pairs, that is, arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0085] In this embodiment, the target object 10a can be well fixed by the cooperation between the actuator 22 and the clamping claw 23 of the clamping mechanism 20, thereby preventing the target object 10a from being displaced during the pressing and cutting process, which affects the accuracy and efficiency of shell opening. In addition, after the pressing and cutting is completed, the clamping mechanism 20 can also cooperate with the conveying mechanism 30 to separate the target object 10a. For example, the clamping mechanism 20 can also cooperate with the conveying mechanism 30 to remove the end cap-electrode assembly from the aluminum shell to separate the end cap-electrode assembly from the aluminum shell.

[0086] See also Fig.10 In some embodiments, the transport mechanism 30 includes a second mounting frame 31, a first manipulator 32 and a second manipulator 33. The first manipulator 32 can be slidably connected to the second mounting frame 31 along the second direction and the third direction respectively. The second manipulator 33 can be slidably connected to the second mounting frame 31 along the second direction and the third direction respectively. The first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 cooperate to transport the target object 10a to the clamping mechanism 20 or move the target object 10a after opening the shell away from the clamping mechanism 20.

[0087] When the shell opening device 100 is used to open the shell of the battery, the first manipulator 32 moves along the second direction and the third direction respectively to move to the position of the battery, grabs the battery, and moves the battery into the fixture, and the actuator 22 starts the clamping claw 23 to move in the direction close to the receiving cavity 211 to clamp the battery; then the moving mechanism 50 moves the battery to a preset position to press and cut the battery, thereby separating the end cover from the aluminum shell; after the end cover is separated from the aluminum shell, the moving mechanism 50 connects the carrier 10 and the clamping mechanism 20 to move the pressed and cut battery to the position of the transport mechanism 30, and the second manipulator 33 clamps the end cover and pulls the end cover -The electrode assembly moves along the third direction in a direction away from the aluminum shell to separate the end cap-electrode assembly from the aluminum shell, and moves the end cap-electrode assembly to the next station; then the second manipulator 33 returns to the position of the aluminum shell and moves the aluminum shell to the recovery position. When the second manipulator 33 moves the end cap-electrode assembly to the next station and moves the aluminum shell to the recovery position, the first manipulator 32 can synchronously grab the battery to place a new battery into the jig 21 when the jig 21 is empty, and perform the shell opening action of the next battery. Through the coordinated cooperation of the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33, the battery shell opening efficiency can be improved.

[0088] In this embodiment, two manipulators are provided, so that the battery shell opening efficiency can be improved through the synergistic effect of the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33, thereby improving the battery recycling efficiency.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second mounting frame 31 includes a third guide rail 311, a fourth guide rail 312, a third driving member 313 and a fourth driving member 314, the third guide rail 311 extends along the second direction, the fourth guide rail 312 extends along the third direction, and the third guide rail 311 is slidably connected to the fourth guide rail 312 along the third direction; the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 can be slidably connected to the third guide rail 311 along the second direction, respectively, the third driving member 313 is arranged on the third guide rail 311, and is used to drive the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 to move along the second direction respectively, and the fourth driving member 314 is arranged on the fourth guide rail 312, and is used to drive the third guide rail 311 to move along the third direction, thereby synchronously driving the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 to move along the third direction.

[0090] It can be understood that along the third direction, the first robot 32 , the second robot 33 and the third guide rail 311 can move synchronously relative to the fourth guide rail 312 .

[0091] It should be noted that the movement of the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 along the second direction may be driven by the same third driving member 313 , or may be driven separately by two third driving members 313 .

[0092] Optionally, the number of the fourth guide rails 312 is two, the two fourth guide rails 312 are spaced apart along the second direction, and opposite ends of the third guide rail 311 are slidably connected to the fourth guide rails 312 respectively.

[0093] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the third guide rail 311, the fourth guide rail 312, the third drive member 313 and the fourth drive member 314, the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 can move independently in the second direction, so that the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 can perform two different operations, so that the transportation of the battery after the shell is opened and the transportation of the next new battery can be carried out simultaneously, thereby improving the shell opening efficiency of the shell opening device 100; in addition, the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 can move synchronously in the third direction, so that the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 can be maintained at the same height in the third direction during operation, so that the new battery and the battery after the shell is opened can be grasped more accurately, the alignment and adjustment process of the height of the two manipulators can be reduced, and the operation process is simplified.

[0094] Please also see Figures 1 to 4 and Fig.11 In some embodiments, the shell opening device 100 also includes a conveying mechanism 60, which extends along a second direction. Along the second direction, the conveying mechanism 60 is located on one side of the cutting mechanism 40 and the conveying mechanism 30. Along the first direction, the conveying mechanism 60 is located between the cutting mechanism 40 and the conveying mechanism 30. The conveying mechanism 60 is used to convey the target object 10a to a position close to the conveying mechanism 30 to facilitate the first robot 32 to grasp the target object 10a and place the target object 10a into the clamping mechanism 20.

[0095] Optionally, the conveying mechanism 60 includes a mounting seat 61, a transmission wheel 62 and a conveyor belt 63. The transmission wheel 62 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 61, and the conveyor belt 63 is sleeved on the transmission wheel 62 for rotating under the drive of the transmission wheel 62 to realize the conveyance of the target object 10a.

[0096] Optionally, part of the second guide rail 522 is disposed in the mounting seat 61, and part of the second guide rail 522 is disposed between the cutting mechanism 40 and the conveying mechanism 30, so that the carrying platform 10 and the clamping mechanism 20 can move back and forth between the conveying mechanism 30, the transmission mechanism 60 and the cutting mechanism 40 under the drive of the moving mechanism 50.

[0097] Optionally, compared to the second robot 33 , the first robot 32 is closer to the conveying mechanism 60 . The next station and the recovery position are closer to the second robot 33 .

[0098] In this embodiment, by setting up a conveying mechanism 60, the target object 10a can be more conveniently conveyed to the bottom of the transporting mechanism 30, so that the transporting mechanism 30 can continuously clamp the target object 10a and place it on the clamping mechanism 20. This greatly increases the automation of the shell opening device 100, improves the shell opening efficiency, and has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0099] In a specific embodiment, the shell opening device of the embodiment of the present application performs the shell opening process of the battery as follows: first, the end cover 12b of the square shell battery 10b is placed upward into the conveyor belt 63, and then the conveyor belt 63 is used to transfer the square shell battery 10b. After the end cover 12b of the square shell battery 10b is placed upward, ... No action is taken. After the first manipulator 32 grabs the square shell battery 10b, the fourth driving member 314 drives the third guide rail 311 together with the first manipulator 32, the second manipulator 33 and the square shell battery 10b to start moving up (i.e., moving along the third direction away from the conveyor belt 63). After moving to the third preset position, the third driving member 313 starts to start, moving the first manipulator 32 to the top of the fixture 21, and then the fourth driving member 314 starts again, and the first manipulator 32 moves down (i.e., moving along the third direction toward the direction close to the fixture 21). After reaching the fourth preset position, the first manipulator 32 releases the square shell battery 10b and puts the square shell battery 10b into the fixture 21, while the other second manipulator 33 is still not started at this time. After completing the above operations, the fourth driving member 314 starts to move the first manipulator 32 to the standby position, waiting for operation. After the square shell battery 10b is placed in the fixture 21, the actuator 22 starts to press the square shell battery 10b through the clamp 23. After the square shell battery 10b is pressed and fixed, the supporting platform 10 moves on the second guide rail 522 toward the direction close to the conveying mechanism 60 under the action of the moving mechanism 50. After reaching the fifth preset position (i.e., the predetermined pressing and cutting position), the height adjustment member 42 on the cutting mechanism 40 begins to adjust the pressing and cutting height (i.e., adjusts the height of the wheel knife 43 in the third direction).Under the action of the moving mechanism 50, the carrying platform 10 moves along the first direction on the first guide rail 512 toward the direction close to the wheel cutter 43, and the square shell battery 10b in the fixture 21 is pressed and cut by the wheel cutter 5.3. The wheel cutter 5.3 is unpowered. After the first side 111b is pressed and cut, the moving mechanism 50 immediately moves the carrying platform 10 on the second guide rail 522 toward the direction close to the wheel cutter 43. At the same time, the square shell battery 10b in the fixture 21 is pressed and cut by the wheel cutter 5.3. The second side 112b is pressed and cut. Afterwards, under the action of the moving mechanism 50, the carrying platform 10 moves on the first guide rail 512 toward the direction close to the wheel cutter 43, and the square shell battery 10b in the fixture 21 is pressed and cut by the wheel cutter 5.3. After the third side 113b is pressed and cut, the moving mechanism 50 immediately moves the carrying platform 10 on the second guide rail 522 toward the direction close to the wheel cutter 43. At the same time, the square shell battery 10b in the fixture 21 is pressed and cut by the wheel cutter 5.3. The fourth side 114b is now pressed and cut at the same height.After the pressing and cutting is completed, under the action of the moving mechanism 50, the carrier 10 moves on the first guide rail 512 toward the direction close to the conveying mechanism 30, and at the same time moves on the second guide rail 522 to the bottom of the second manipulator 33. At this time, the clamping cylinder 7.3 is still clamped, and at the same time the conveying mechanism 30 starts to start, the third driving member 313 is started, so that the second manipulator 33 moves on the third guide rail 311, and the second manipulator 33 moves to the square shell battery 10b where the shell is opened, while the first manipulator 32 on the other side remains motionless, and then the fourth driving member 314 is started, driving the third guide rail 311 together with the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 to move downward (along the third direction toward the direction close to the conveying mechanism 30). The first manipulator 32 moves in the direction of the carrier 10), and then after reaching the sixth preset position, the first manipulator 32 does not move, while the second manipulator 33 at the other end grabs the end cap 12b of the shelled battery 10b that has been pressed and cut in the fixture 21. After the grabbing is completed, the fourth driving member 314 drives the third guide rail 311, the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 to start moving up (moving in the third direction away from the carrier 10), relying on the clamping of the clamping claw 23, the external aluminum shell 11b is separated from the electrode assembly, and after moving to the seventh preset position, the third driving member 313 starts to start, moves the second manipulator 33 to the next processing station, and then the fourth driving member 314 starts again, and the second manipulator 33 moves down (moving in the third direction Move in the direction close to the carrier 10), after reaching the eighth preset position, the second manipulator 33 releases the shelled battery 10b, and then the fourth drive member 314 is started to move the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 to the preset position, and the third drive member 313 is started to move the first manipulator 32 to the top of the square shell battery 10b on the conveyor belt 63, and the second manipulator 33 is moved to the top of the residual aluminum shell 11b, at this time the clamp 23 is released, and then the fourth drive member 314 is started to drive the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 to move downward, and then after reaching the second preset position, the first manipulator 32 grabs the square shell battery 10b on the conveyor belt 63, and the other end of the manipulator gripper 2 (3.5) grabs the jig 21 After the grabbing is completed, the fourth driving member 314 starts to move up. After moving to the third preset position, the third driving member 313 starts to start, and moves the first manipulator 32 to the top of the fixture 21, and the second manipulator 33 moves to the waste recycling position. Then the fourth driving member 314 is started again, and the first manipulator 32 and the second manipulator 33 move down. After reaching the fourth preset position, the first manipulator 32 releases the next square shell battery 10b to be pressed and cut, and repeats the previous operation, while the other second manipulator 33 puts the residual aluminum shell into the recycling position. Then the fourth driving member 314 starts to move the second manipulator 33 to the standby position, waiting for operation, completing a complete operation process of the entire device.

[0100] See also Fig.12In some embodiments, the shell opening device 100 further includes a base 70 , and the base 70 is used to install the conveying mechanism 30 , the cutting mechanism 40 and the moving mechanism 50 .

[0101] It can be understood that the base 70 is also used to install the conveying mechanism 60. In other words, the transport mechanism 30, the cutting mechanism 40, the moving mechanism 50 and the conveying mechanism 60 are all installed on the base 70, the carrying platform 10 is installed on the moving mechanism 50, and the clamping mechanism 20 is installed on the carrying platform 10, so that the shell opening device 100 is connected as a whole for easy assembly and transportation.

There is no need to debug the relative positions of the conveying mechanism 30, the cutting mechanism 40, the moving mechanism 50 and the conveying mechanism 60 during use, thereby shortening the debugging time of the shell opening device 100.
