[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, it is a cylindrical battery peeling machine 100 shown in the present invention, which is used to peel off the surface of the cylindrical battery from the battery core.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the cylindrical battery peeling machine 100 includes: a machine table 10 and a loading mechanism 20, a stripping mechanism 30 and a discharging mechanism 40 which are arranged in sequence according to a processing order, wherein the loading mechanism 20 is used to convey the cylindrical battery to the stripping mechanism 30, the stripping mechanism 30 is used to strip the skin of the cylindrical battery from the battery cell, and the discharging mechanism 40 is used to receive the battery cell with the skin stripped. The cooperation of the loading mechanism 20 with the stripping mechanism 30 and the discharging mechanism 40 is beneficial to effectively reduce the influence of manual labor on the peeling efficiency and quality of the cylindrical battery, so as to improve the recycling yield of the cylindrical battery and achieve the purpose of reducing the recycling cost of the cylindrical battery.

[0034] Below, combined Figures 1 to 5 , the above-mentioned cylindrical battery peeling machine 100 is further explained.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the machine 10 is used to install a loading mechanism 20, a stripping mechanism 30 and a discharging mechanism 40, wherein the number of the loading mechanism 20 can be one, and the number of the stripping mechanism 30 and the discharging mechanism 40 is the same, and both are multiple. By using one loading mechanism 20 to transport cylindrical batteries to multiple stripping mechanisms 30, the space utilization of the loading mechanism 20 can be effectively reduced, and the production cost of the cylindrical battery peeling machine 100 can be reduced. In this embodiment, the number of the loading mechanism 20 is one, and the number of the stripping mechanism 30 and the discharging mechanism 40 are both three.

[0036] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the loading mechanism 20 includes a displacement drive component 21, a material picking component 22 and a feeding component 23. The displacement drive component 21 is connected to the material picking component 22. The material picking component 22 is used to grab cylindrical batteries and place them on the feeding component 23. The feeding component 23 is used to transport the cylindrical batteries to the loading slot 321 of the rotating seat 32. Among them, the displacement drive component 21 can be selected as a combination of three linear motors to drive the material picking component 22 to move along the three directions of X, Y, and Z. X, Y, and Z are directions perpendicular to each other. The feeding component 23 can be selected as a conveyor. The number of feeding components 23 is the same as the number of stripping mechanisms 30.

[0037] More specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the material taking component 22 includes a bracket 221, a claw plate 222, a material pushing driving member 223 and a magnet 224. The bracket 221 is connected to the displacement driving component 21. The claw plate 222 is installed on the bracket 221 and is provided with a plurality of material taking slots 225.

The cylinder drives each magnet 224 to absorb the cylindrical battery through the push drive 223 and pull it into the material retrieval trough 225 to realize the retrieval and arrangement of the cylindrical battery. The displacement drive component 21 controls the material retrieval component 22 to move to the feeding component 23, and the push drive 223 drives each magnet 224 to separate from the cylindrical battery. The cylindrical battery in the material retrieval trough 225 lacks the magnetic attraction of the magnet 224 and falls into the feeding component 23 to realize the grabbing and placement of the cylindrical battery.

There are two side blades 344, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom blade 343. Through the cooperation of the bottom blade 343 and the side blade 344, the side and end faces of the surface of the cylindrical battery can be effectively cut off to facilitate the separation of the surface from the battery cell.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping assembly 35 includes a clamping drive 351, a clamping arm 352 and a waste box 353. The clamping drive 351 is connected to the machine 10.

Specifically, the material tapping assembly 36 includes a material tapping drive assembly 33, a buffer assembly 362, a material tapping drive 363 and a pusher claw 364. The material tapping drive assembly 33 drives the buffer assembly 362 to approach or move away from the material tapping position 31. The buffer assembly 362 is connected to the material tapping drive 363. The number of pusher claws 364 is two, and the material tapping drive 363 drives each pusher claw 364 to approach or move away from each other.

[0042] like Figure 5As shown, the buffer assembly 362 includes a transfer block 365, a guide rod 366, a slider 367 and a buffer member 368. The transfer block 365 is connected to the material-pickup drive assembly 33, the guide rod 366 is connected to the transfer block 365, the slider 367 is slidably disposed on the guide rod 366, and is connected to the material-pickup drive member 363. The buffer member 368 is a spring for providing elastic force for the slider 367 to move along the guide rod 366 toward the material-pickup position 31. The waste box 353 is used to receive the skin of the peeled battery cell.
