Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motors, in particular to a device for cutting open the blue glue of an electric core. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous expansion of the electric vehicle market and the growth of energy storage demand, the number of waste lithium batteries is also increasing sharply, so the importance of the lithium battery recycling industry is becoming increasingly prominent. Waste lithium batteries contain many valuable metal elements, such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, etc. These metals are expensive in the battery manufacturing process, so recycling and reusing these metals can not only effectively alleviate the problem of resource shortage, but also reduce production costs. With the advancement of technology and the updating of equipment, the efficiency and accuracy of waste lithium battery recycling and processing equipment are also constantly improving, which helps to promote the rapid development of the lithium battery recycling industry. The battery cell blue glue cutting equipment plays a key role in the unwinding step in the fine disassembly of lithium battery recycling. It is mainly used to accurately and quickly cut the blue glue at the sealing of the battery cell diaphragm. Some existing battery cell blue glue cutting equipment may have some defects in practical applications, which may affect the cutting quality, efficiency and equipment stability. First of all, insufficient cutting accuracy is one of the common defects of battery cell blue glue cutting equipment. Due to the flexibility of the diaphragm and the certain viscosity and toughness of the blue glue material, if the tool design of the cutting equipment is unreasonable or the cutting parameters are improperly set, the cutting surface may be uneven, with burrs or residues. Secondly, unstable cutting speed is also a possible problem of battery cell blue glue cutting equipment. In addition, battery cell blue glue cutting equipment may also have the problem of poor equipment stability. Since lithium battery manufacturing and recycling involve multiple process links and equipment, if the blue glue removal equipment is not coordinated with other equipment or there are design defects, it may cause the overall stability of the equipment to decline and affect the continuous operation of the production line.
