Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of workpiece line engraving, in particular to a line engraving device. Background Art

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, the shell of the current battery is generally designed to include a shell 10 and a top cover 20, wherein the shell 10 is provided with a mounting groove for accommodating the battery cell, and the top cover 20 and the shell 10 are welded. After the top cover 20 and the shell 10 are welded, the notch of the mounting groove will be sealed, so that the battery cell is protected in the shell. At present, when the battery is subjected to destructive testing or when the internal battery cell needs to be recovered later, the shell needs to be disassembled. The current disassembly method is that the operator holds the battery with one hand and uses a metal knife to score with the other hand. The purpose of scoring is to form a score groove 30 on the surface of the shell to reduce the thickness of the shell. After scoring a circle, the operator uses pliers to apply force to the prism of the shell to cause the shell to crack an opening at the prism, and then gradually peels the shell into two parts along the score groove 30. During the above disassembly process, due to the size of the battery cell and the marking technique, the marking lines are often not straight and the depth of the marking lines is different. This will cause the shell to be easily scratched when the pliers are used to break the shell. When the shell is broken, it may even cause the battery cell to be punctured. In addition, the marking process may easily scratch the hands due to the technique. These factors will greatly affect the work efficiency and work safety of the dismantler. Utility Model Content

[0035] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a scribing device, which mainly includes a base 1, a fixture 2, a support mechanism 3, a clamping plate mechanism 4 and a tool 5. Among them, the fixture 2 is fixed on the top of the base 1, and the fixture 2 is used to limit the position of the workpiece to be scribed. Preferably, the fixture 2 limits the position of the workpiece to be scribed by setting a limit groove on the top. In this embodiment, the workpiece to be scribed mainly takes the battery 6 as an example; among them, the support mechanism 3 is respectively connected to the base 1 and the tool 5, and the tool 5 is supported by the support mechanism 3 and thus suspended above the fixture 2. The tool 5 is slidably connected to the support mechanism 3 along the first direction (i.e., the X direction). The sliding of the tool 5 along the X direction is used to scribe the outer surface of the battery 6 located on the fixture 2. The cutting edge of the tool 5 is a sharp angle, and the angle of the cutting edge of the tool 5 is between 20° and 120°. The central axis of the cutting edge of the tool 5 is perpendicular to the outer surface of the battery 6, and the clamping plate mechanism 4 is arranged on the side opposite to the tool 5 and is used for the side of the battery 6 opposite to the tool 5 to abut.

[0037] Before operation, it is necessary to pre-place the battery 6 on the fixture 2 and pre-adjust the positions of the tool 5 and the clamping plate mechanism 4; during operation, the tool 5 can be pushed to move relative to the support mechanism 3 along the X direction, so that the outer surface of the battery 6 can be scribed straight. When the battery 6 is being scribed by the tool 5, the side of the battery 6 facing away from the tool 5 will be forced by the tool 5 to abut against the clamping plate mechanism 4, so as to improve the stability of the tool 5 when scribing the battery 6 and improve the accuracy of the scribing depth of the tool 5. The scribing device adopting this solution can quickly complete the scribing work on the outer shell of the battery 6, improve the scribing efficiency, thereby improving the subsequent disassembly efficiency of the battery 6. Moreover, the scribing device adopting this solution can also improve the scribing accuracy, solving problems such as unstraight scribing or poor scribing depth caused by manual operation errors in traditional manual work. Since this solution is beneficial to improving the scribing accuracy, it is not easy to scratch the internal battery core or pierce the electrode plate during the subsequent disassembly of the battery 6. At the same time, it also reduces the scribing difficulty of the operator and reduces the risk of scratching the human hand, improving the safety of the subsequent disassembly process of the battery 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the scribing device further includes a slide base 7. The tool 5 is connected to the slide base 7. The slide base 7 is slidably connected to the support mechanism 3 in the X direction. The position of the tool 5 relative to the slide base 7 is adjustable in the horizontal second direction (i.e., the Y direction), where the X direction and the Y direction are perpendicular to each other. By providing the slide base 7, on the one hand, it is convenient to realize that the tool 5 can slide in the X direction. On the other hand, it is convenient to realize the function of fixing the tool 5, and it is also convenient to realize the purpose that the tool 5 can adjust its position in the Y direction. Designing the tool 5 to be adjustable in the Y direction enables the tool 5 to adjust the depth of scribing on the outer shell of the battery 6. Or, it can make the tool 5 compatible with the scribing operations of batteries 6 with different width dimensions, making the scribing device have the advantage of high compatibility. During operation, just operate the slide base 7 to move in the X direction, and the function of the tool 5 scribing on the outer surface of the battery 6 can be realized. For the convenience of operation, a handle 73 can be fixed on the top of the slide base 7.

[0039] In this embodiment, a waist-shaped hole 71 is provided on the slide base 7. The waist-shaped hole 71 extends in the Y direction. A bolt 8 is inserted through the waist-shaped hole 71. The bolt 8 also passes through the tool 5 while passing through the waist-shaped hole 71, so that the tool 5 can be fixed on the slide base 7. By sliding the bolt 8 along the waist-shaped hole 71 in the Y direction, the position of the tool 5 in the Y direction can be adjusted, and further the depth of scribing of the tool 5 on the battery 6 can be adjusted. This design can realize the function that the tool 5 is adjustable in the Y direction, and has the advantages of simple structure and low cost.

[0040] In this embodiment, scale lines 72 are provided on the top surface of the slide base 7. The scale lines 72 are arranged at intervals in the Y direction. A reference rod 9 is connected to the tool 5. The reference rod 9 extends to a position adjacent to the scale lines 72. By providing the reference rod 9, it is possible to more accurately know the position of the tool 5 in the Y direction. Specifically, before the scribing operation, the position where the tool 5 just touches the outer shell of the battery 6 in the Y direction can be used as a reference position. The first scale value corresponding to the tool 5 at this reference position is recorded through the reference rod 9. Then the tool 5 is moved away from the battery 6 in the Y direction. Next, the slide base 7 is moved to a farther position in the X direction, so that the tool 5 is moved away from the battery 6 in the X direction. Immediately afterwards, the tool 5 is moved closer to the middle position in the Y direction to a preset second scale value. The difference between the first scale value and the second scale value is the depth of scribing on the outer shell of the battery 6. Finally, driving the slide base 7 to move in the X direction enables the tool 5 to scribe on the outer shell of the battery 6. In this embodiment, the depth of scribing on the outer shell of the battery 6 is preferably about 1 mm. Therefore, the interval of the scale lines 72 in the Y direction is also preferably 1 mm.

[0041] In this embodiment, the support mechanism 3 includes a support wall 31, a support rod 32, and a guide rail platform 33. The support wall 31 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The support rod 32 is passed through the support wall 31, and the guide rail platform 33 is fixed to one end of the support rod 32. When the outer diameter of the support rod 32 is relatively large, only one support rod 32 can be connected between the support wall 31 and the guide rail platform 33. When the outer diameter of the support rod 32 is relatively small, two support rods 32 can be connected between the support wall 31 and the guide rail platform 33 to improve the stability of the fixed connection of the guide rail platform 33 relative to the base 1. Specifically, a guide rail 34 is provided on the guide rail platform 33, and the slide seat 7 is slidably connected to the guide rail platform 33 along the X direction through the connecting guide rail 34. The support mechanism 3 designed in this way has the advantages of simple structure and facilitating the realization of the slide seat 7 sliding along the X direction. In addition, the support mechanism 3 further includes a first nut 35 and a second nut 36. The first nut 35 and the second nut 36 are respectively threadedly connected to the support rod 32. Moreover, the support rod 32 passes outwards relative to the support wall 31, and the first nut 35 and the second nut 36 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the support wall 31. When both the first nut 35 and the second nut 36 are tightened, the first nut 35 and the second nut 36 will jointly clamp the support wall 31. By providing the first nut 35 and the second nut 36, while realizing the function of fixing the support rod 32 on the support wall 31, when the first nut 35 and the second nut 36 are loosened, the telescopic length of the support rod 32 relative to the support wall 31 can also be adjusted, so as to adjust the position of the tool 5 in the Y direction, and further be compatible with the scribing operations of batteries 6 with larger or smaller widths, further improving the compatibility of the scribing device.

[0042] In this embodiment, the clamping plate mechanism 4 includes a support seat 41, a connecting rod 42, and a clamping plate 43. Among them, the support seat 41 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The connecting rod 42 is passed through the support seat 41, and the clamping plate 43 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 42. The clamping plate 43 is arranged on the side opposite to the tool 5 and is used for the side of the battery 6 facing away from the tool 5 to abut against. The clamping plate mechanism 4 designed in this way has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. In addition, the clamping plate mechanism 4 further includes a third nut 44 and a fourth nut 45. The third nut 44 and the fourth nut 45 are respectively threadedly connected to the connecting rod 42, and the connecting rod 42 passes outwards relative to the support seat 41. The third nut 44 and the fourth nut 45 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the support seat 41. When both the third nut 44 and the fourth nut 45 are tightened, the third nut 44 and the fourth nut 45 will jointly clamp the support seat 41. By providing the third nut 44 and the fourth nut 45, while realizing the function of fixing the connecting rod 42 on the support seat 41, when the third nut 44 and the fourth nut 45 are loosened, the telescopic length of the connecting rod 42 relative to the support seat 41 can also be adjusted, so as to adjust the position of the clamping plate 43 in the Y direction, and further be compatible with the scribing operations of batteries 6 with larger or smaller widths, further improving the compatibility of the scribing device.

[0043] In this embodiment, the top of the fixture 2 is provided with a downwardly recessed first limit groove 21 and a second limit groove 22, both of which are used to limit the position of the battery 6. The depth of the first limit groove 21 and the second limit groove 22 are preferably 50% to 70% of the height of the battery 6 to improve the stability of the battery 6 in the first limit groove 21 or the second limit groove 22. By simultaneously providing the first limit groove 21 and the second limit groove 22, the requirement of being able to mark both postures of the battery 6 can be met. Preferably, the first limiting groove 21 and the second limiting groove 22 are interconnected, the extension direction of the first limiting groove 21 points to the X direction, and the extension direction of the first limiting groove 21 and the extension direction of the second limiting groove 22 are perpendicular to each other, that is, the extension direction of the second limiting groove 22 points to the Y direction, so that the first limiting groove 21 and the second limiting groove 22 form a cross groove structure together, when the battery 6 is placed in the first limiting groove 21, the tool 5 can score the outer shell of the battery 6 in the length direction, and when the battery 6 is placed in the second limiting groove 22, the tool 5 can score the outer shell of the battery 6 in the width direction, that is, the function of scoring the outer shell of the battery 6 on both the long side and the short side can be realized, thereby achieving the scoring operation of the outer circumference of the battery 6, so as to facilitate the subsequent disassembly of the outer shell of the battery 6, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembling the outer shell of the battery 6.
