Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of battery disassembly, and in particular to a battery cell disassembly device. Background Technology

[0002] At present, when we need to disassemble the battery cell for analysis, we use a rather clumsy manual disassembly method. First, we use a carving knife to make a deep mark around the aluminum shell about 1cm from the cover plate. Then, we use pliers to make a small opening at the top edge of the aluminum shell, hold the battery cell upside down by hand to pour out the electrolyte, and weigh the free electrolyte.

[0003] This method of disassembling battery cells is both laborious and time-consuming. Furthermore, there is no standardized evaluation standard for weighing free electrolyte to determine when the electrolyte outflow from the cell can be considered as complete discharge. Moreover, manually disassembling large aluminum-cased battery cells is even more difficult, requiring two people to work together. Therefore, this method of disassembling battery cells is not only inefficient but also lacks standardization. Utility Model Content

[0038] A first weighing device 900 and a battery cell fixing groove 130 are sequentially arranged on the main body 140 of the disassembly device along the first direction, and a detachable first storage container 110 is provided on the first weighing device 900.

[0040] A second guide rail is provided on one side of the cell fixing groove 130. The second guide rail is provided on the disassembly device body 140 and extends along a second direction. A second cutting component is provided on the second guide rail.

[0041] The first cutting component and the second cutting component cooperate to cut the outer shell of the battery cell within the battery cell fixing groove 130;

[0042] The first direction is the length direction of the disassembly device body 140, and the second direction is the width direction of the disassembly device body 140.

[0043] In some embodiments, a first weighing device 900 is provided on the disassembly device body 140 of the battery cell disassembly equipment, and a first receiving device 110 is provided on the first weighing device 900; the first receiving device 110 is detachably connected to the first weighing device 900; after the battery cell is fixed on the first gripping robot 150, the first gripping robot 150 can fix the battery cell at the upper end of the first receiving device 110; a small opening is cut at the bottom corner of the battery cell, and the electrolyte flows into the first receiving device 110 through the small opening; whether the battery cell has finished flowing out is determined by a fixed time or by the frequency of electrolyte flowing out of the battery cell; thus, a unified standard for determining whether all the free electrolyte in the battery cell has flowed out is achieved.

[0044] After the electrolyte inside the battery cell is drained, the battery cell is placed in the battery cell fixing groove 130. The first cutting component is used to cut the large surface of the battery cell, and the second cutting component is used to cut the small surface of the battery cell. This allows the battery cell cover plate assembly of the battery cell shell to be removed from the battery cell shell, which makes it easier to remove the core from the battery cell shell and improves the disassembly efficiency of the battery cell.

[0045] In an optional embodiment, the cell fixing slot 130 includes a lower support base 160, an upper rotating base 170, and a fixing component. The lower support base 160 is disposed on the disassembly device body 140, the upper rotating base 170 is disposed on the lower support base 160, and the fixing component is disposed on the upper rotating base 170.

[0046] In some embodiments, the lower support 160 of the cell fixing slot 130 is disposed on the disassembly device body 140, and the upper rotating seat 170 is disposed on the lower support 160. The upper rotating seat 170 can rotate relative to the lower support 160 by a certain angle, thereby causing the cell on the fixing component to rotate by an angle, which facilitates the cutting of the cell.

[0048] Multiple positioning holes are provided on the lower support 160, and the positioning holes are evenly distributed. A positioning post is provided on the upper rotating seat 170, which can be inserted into the positioning hole, thus fixing the upper rotating seat 170 on the lower support 160. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the battery cell, the positioning post is pulled out from the positioning hole, the upper rotating seat 170 is rotated 180°, and then the positioning post is inserted into the positioning hole. This adjusts the rotation angle of the upper rotating seat 170, causing the battery cell to rotate 180°. The first cutting component and the second cutting component work together to cut one large and one small surface of the battery cell, and then cut the other large and one small surface of the battery cell. This separates the upper end and the lower end of the battery cell, making it easy to remove the core from the battery cell.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first moving component includes two upper guide rails 100, and the two ends of the moving base 200 are slidably connected to one of the upper guide rails 100 respectively. Generally, two sliding blocks are provided at each end of the moving base 200, and the sliding blocks are slidably disposed on the upper guide rails 100. This enables the movement of the first gripping robot 150.

[0052] A drive motor and a rack are provided on the movable seat 200. The movable seat 200 moves automatically through the meshing of the gear and rack of the drive motor.

[0053] Reference Figure 3 In an optional embodiment, the movable seat 200 is provided with a through hole, a lifting guide rail 300 is provided through the through hole, and a lifting rack 400 is provided on the lifting guide rail 300; a lifting device 500 is provided on the movable seat 200, and the drive gear 600 of the lifting device 500 meshes with the lifting rack 400.

[0054] The first gripping robot 150 is located at the lower end of the lifting guide rail 300.

[0055] A perforation is provided on the movable seat 200, and a lifting guide rail 300 is provided in the perforation. A lifting rack 400 is provided on the lifting guide rail 300. A lifting device 500 is provided on the movable seat 200. The drive gear 600 of the lifting device 500 meshes with the lifting rack 400. Since the lifting device 500 remains fixed, the lifting rack 400 moves up and down, that is, the first gripping robot 150 moves up and down.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an optional embodiment, the cell fixing slot 130 includes a first fixing long plate 180 and a first fixing short plate 190, one end of the first fixing long plate 180 is connected to one end of the first fixing short plate 190 and is set vertically.

[0057] The cell fixing slot 130 also includes a first supporting long plate 210 and a first supporting short plate 220. The first supporting long plate 210 and the first fixing long plate 180 are spaced apart. A first telescopic long plate 230 is provided on the first supporting long plate 210.

[0058] The first supporting short plate 220 and the first fixed short plate 190 are spaced apart, and a first telescopic short plate 240 is provided on the first supporting short plate 220; the first telescopic long plate 230, the first telescopic short plate 240, the first supporting long plate 210 and the first supporting short plate 220 cooperate to form a fixed space for fixing the battery cell.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, at least one first telescopic rod is screwed onto the first support plate 210, and one end of the first telescopic rod is rotatably configured with respect to the first telescopic plate 230.

[0060] To enable the cell fixing slot 130 to fix cells of different specifications, a first fixing long plate 180 and a first fixing short plate 190 are fixed in the cell fixing slot 130. A first supporting long plate 210 is provided opposite the first fixing long plate 180, and a first telescopic long plate 230 is provided on the first supporting long plate 210. Generally, a first telescopic rod is screwed onto the first supporting long plate 210. The first telescopic rod rotates, causing it to move relative to the first supporting long plate 210, thereby causing the first telescopic long plate 230 to move relative to the first supporting long plate 210. This changes the distance between the first telescopic long plate 230 and the first fixing long plate 180, thus adapting to the width of the cell. Similarly, adjusting the distance between the first telescopic short plate 240 and the first fixing short plate 190 adapts to the length of the cell, enabling the cell fixing slot 130 to fix cells of various specifications and keeping the cell fixed during the cutting process.

[0061] Reference Figure 6 In an optional embodiment, the first cutting assembly includes a first cutting platform 700 and a first cutting machine. The first cutting platform 700 is slidably disposed on the first guide rail 120, and a first cutting guide rail 800 extending in a second direction is provided on the first cutting platform 700. The first cutting machine is slidably disposed on the first cutting guide rail 800.

[0062] The first cutting assembly and the second cutting assembly have similar structures. The first cutting platform 700 of the first cutting assembly is provided with a first cutting guide rail 800, and the first cutting machine is slidably mounted on the first cutting guide rail 800. When it is necessary to cut the battery cell, the first cutting machine is moved along the first direction to cut the battery cell. When the battery cell is changed to a different specification, the first cutting machine moves along the first cutting guide rail 800 so that the first cutting machine can cut different battery cells.

[0063] The first gripping robot 150 of the battery cell dismantling equipment provided by this utility model can grip the battery cell and move it to the upper end of the first receiving container 110. After the battery cell is broken, the electrolyte inside the battery cell can flow into the first receiving container 110. The first weighing device 900 is used to weigh the amount of electrolyte in the first receiving container 110. Since the first gripping robot 150 can firmly fix the battery cell to the upper end of the first receiving container 110, the electrolyte inside the battery cell can be completely poured out by placing it for a fixed time or by judging the frequency of the electrolyte dripping from the battery cell. The first cutting component and the second cutting component work together to cut the battery cell, which makes it easier to remove the core from the battery cell shell and improves the dismantling efficiency.

Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
