Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of degumming, in particular to an automatic degumming device. Background Art

[0002] In the recycling of power batteries, it is necessary to separate the residual adhesive (hereinafter referred to as residual glue) on the battery surface from the battery. At present, the degumming method is manual removal, which has problems such as increasing labor costs, being time-consuming and laborious, reducing work efficiency, and incomplete degumming, affecting the quality of finished products. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design and manufacture a mechanized automatic degumming device. The Chinese patent discloses a degumming device and a degumming method. The degumming device includes a frame, a carrier, a hot-melt mechanism and a vision detection mechanism. A degumming station and a detection station are arranged on the frame. The carrier bears and fixes the workpiece to be degummed. The carrier is slidably connected to the frame and can move between the degumming station and the detection station. The hot-melt mechanism includes a driving member and a heating head. The driving member is configured to drive the heating head to move so that the heating head abuts against the colloid on the workpiece carried by the carrier at the degumming station. The heating head can heat the overflowing colloid from a solid state to a liquid state. Workers can use a soft cloth or tissue paper to wipe off the liquid colloid to avoid scratching electronic components.

[0003] Although the above solution uses a hot-melt method for degumming, the melted colloid still needs to be wiped manually, so a complete automatic degumming operation cannot be achieved. The problems of labor cost consumption and work efficiency reduction are not completely eliminated, and due to manual auxiliary operation, the degumming effect is inconsistent, which also affects the quality of finished products. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of the technical problem that the degumming device in the existing solution requires manual wiping, the utility model provides an automatic degumming device, which eliminates manual wiping, saves labor costs, and improves work efficiency at the same time.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: an automatic degumming device includes a washing pipeline, a collection pipeline, a robotic arm and a support table. One end of the support table is connected to the robotic arm. The other end of the support table is provided with rollers, a table board and a scraper. The rollers, the table board and the rollers are arranged in sequence from front to back along the direction of the robotic arm's movement. The table board is provided with a collection port and a liquid spraying port. The collection port is communicated with the collection pipeline, and the liquid spraying port is communicated with the washing pipeline, and the liquid spraying port faces the rollers.

[0006] Optionally, the washing pipeline includes a washing barrel and a washing pipeline. One end of the washing pipeline is communicated with the washing barrel, and the other end of the washing pipeline is communicated with the liquid spraying port.

[0007] Optionally, the collection pipeline includes a collection barrel, a collection pipe, and an air extraction pump. One end of the collection pipe is connected to the collection port, and the other end of the collection pipe is connected to the collection barrel through the air extraction pump.

[0008] Optionally, the roller is provided with a corrugated structure, and the corrugated structure covers the outer peripheral wall of the roller.

[0009] Optionally, the platen is provided with a first support plate. One end of the first support plate is connected to the platen, and the other end of the first support plate is rotatably connected to both sides of the roller.

[0010] Optionally, the platen is provided with a second support plate. One end of the second support plate is connected to the platen, and the other end of the second support plate is connected to the scraper.

[0011] Optionally, a roller is rotatably provided at one end of the scraper away from the second support plate.

[0012] Optionally, it further includes a workbench located below the robotic arm. The workbench is provided with a limiting groove for placing the workpiece.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: Place the aluminum shell to be degummed or other workpieces to be degummed under the support table. The cleaning agent in the cleaning agent pipeline is sprayed from the liquid spraying port onto the roller. During the rolling of the roller, the cleaning agent covering the surface of the roller makes full contact with the solid glue on the surface of the workpiece, starting to soften the solid encapsulating glue on the surface of the aluminum shell. The scraper moves along the surface of the aluminum shell to physically scrape off the softened encapsulating glue. The waste glue and the cleaning agent are sucked into the collection port and collected through the collection pipeline. After the equipment finishes cleaning, the operator turns off the equipment and takes out the aluminum shell to complete the entire degumming work, eliminating manual wiping, saving labor costs, and improving work efficiency at the same time. The corrugated structure increases the friction between the roller and the surface of the aluminum shell, helping the cleaning agent to better contact the solid encapsulating glue. And the material of the roller is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has a low friction coefficient and good wear resistance, and can protect the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum shell from being scratched while scraping off the solid encapsulating glue.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0018] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this embodiment discloses an automated glue removal equipment, including a lotion pipeline, a collection pipeline, a robotic arm 1 and a support platform 2, one end of the support platform 2 is connected to the robotic arm 1, and the other end of the support platform 2 is provided with a roller 3, a table 4 and a scraper 5, the roller 3, the table 4, and the roller 3 are arranged in sequence from front to back along the direction of movement of the robotic arm 1, the table 4 is provided with a collection port 6 and a liquid spray port 7, the collection port 6 is connected to the collection pipeline, the liquid spray port 7 is connected to the lotion pipeline, and the liquid spray port 7 faces the roller 3. The aluminum shell or other workpiece to be debonded is placed under the support table 2. The detergent in the detergent pipeline is sprayed onto the roller 3 through the liquid spray port 7. As the roller 3 rotates, the detergent covering the surface of the roller 3 fully contacts the solid potting glue on the workpiece surface, beginning to soften the solid potting glue on the surface of the aluminum shell. The scraper 5 moves along the surface of the aluminum shell, physically scraping off the softened potting glue. The waste glue and detergent are sucked into the collection port 6 and collected through the collection pipeline. After the equipment is cleaned, the operator shuts down the equipment and removes the aluminum shell, completing the entire debonding process. This eliminates the need for manual wiping, saves labor costs, and improves work efficiency. The robot arm 1 is a prior art.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the detergent pipeline includes a detergent barrel 8 and a detergent pipeline. One end of the detergent pipeline is connected to the detergent barrel 8, and the other end is connected to the liquid spray port 7. The collection pipeline includes a collection barrel, a collection pipeline, and an air pump. One end of the collection pipeline is connected to the collection port 6, and the other end is connected to the collection barrel via the air pump. When the air pump is turned on, the waste rubber and detergent scraped from the aluminum shell surface are drawn into the collection barrel through the collection pipeline. The air pump is conventional.

[0020] like Figure 2As shown, the roller 3 is provided with a corrugated structure, and the corrugated structure covers the outer peripheral wall of the roller 3. The corrugated structure increases the friction between the roller 3 and the surface of the aluminum shell, helping the lotion to better contact the solid potting glue. And the material of the roller 3 is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which has a low friction coefficient and good wear resistance, and can protect the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum shell from being scratched while scraping the solid potting glue.

[0021] As Figure 1 shown, the platen 4 is provided with a first support plate. One end of the first support plate is connected to the platen 4, and the other end of the first support plate is rotatably connected to both sides of the roller 3. The platen 4 is provided with a second support plate. One end of the second support plate is connected to the platen 4, and the other end of the second support plate is connected to the squeegee 5. Both sides of the squeegee 5 are installed on the second support plate by rivets. A mechanical sensor for detecting the force exerted by the squeegee 5 on the workpiece is provided on the second support plate 14. Ensure that the force of the squeegee 5 on the workpiece is appropriate, which can effectively remove the glue without damaging the aluminum shell.

[0022] As Figure 2 shown, a roller is rotatably provided at one end of the squeegee away from the second support plate. The roller is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material. Utilizing the low friction coefficient and wear resistance of PTFE, while reducing the damage to the oxide layer on the surface of the workpiece during the scraping process, the cleaning efficiency is improved.

[0023] As Figure 1 shown, it further includes a workbench 16. The workbench 16 is located below the robotic arm 1, and the workbench 16 is provided with a limiting groove 17 for placing the workpiece. The limiting groove 17 positions the workpiece to prevent the workpiece from being displaced during the glue removal process.
