Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery recycling technology, specifically to a battery casing cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of new energy vehicles, batteries are primarily responsible for storing and supplying electrical energy for driving. With their widespread use, the issue of recycling used batteries has become increasingly prominent. Cutting the battery casing is a crucial step in the recycling process, typically occurring during the dismantling stage. The main purpose of cutting the casing is to separate the outer shell from the internal battery cells, allowing for separate processing of the cells and casing. This is because battery casings are mostly made of metal (such as aluminum alloy), while the cells are rich in valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt, and manganese, thus requiring separate recycling. However, the market offers a wide variety of battery models and types, with significant differences in size between different models, making it impossible to use universal cutting equipment for all battery types. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a battery casing cutting device in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a cutting assembly 2, a clamping and positioning assembly 3, and an auxiliary positioning assembly 4; the frame 1 includes an upper platform 101 and a lower platform 102 disposed on the lower side of the upper platform 101;

[0033] The clamping and positioning assembly 3 includes a gantry frame 301 disposed on the upper platform 101 and a first driving element 302 disposed on the gantry frame 301. A clamping and positioning block 303 is disposed on the output shaft of the first driving element 302. The output shaft of the first driving element 302 can drive the clamping and positioning block 303 to move in the vertical direction so that the clamping and positioning block 303 moves closer to or away from the upper platform 101.

[0034] The auxiliary positioning component 4 includes a second driving element 401 disposed on the upper platform 101. An auxiliary positioning block 402 is disposed on the output shaft of the second driving element 401. The output shaft of the second driving element 401 can drive the auxiliary positioning block 402 to move in the front-back direction so that the auxiliary positioning block 402 moves closer to or away from the gantry frame 301.

[0035] The cutting component 2 is disposed on the lower platform 102. After the clamping and positioning component 3 and the auxiliary positioning component 4 fix the battery casing, the cutting component 2 can cut the battery casing.

[0036] The auxiliary positioning block 402 contacts the side of the battery and pushes it to a predetermined position for subsequent cutting of the battery casing. The clamping positioning block 303 presses and fixes the battery, once in the predetermined position, onto the upper platform 101 to prevent movement during subsequent cutting. Different battery models have significantly different sizes, and their cutting positions also differ. Since the output shaft of the second drive element 401 can drive the auxiliary positioning block 402, the travel of the output shaft of the second drive element 401 can be adjusted to push different battery models to their required predetermined positions. Similarly, since the output shaft of the first drive element 302 can drive the clamping positioning block 303, the travel of the output shaft of the first drive element 302 can be adjusted to clamp and position different battery models. The combination of the clamping positioning component 3 and the auxiliary positioning component 4 makes the battery casing cutting equipment suitable for batteries of different sizes, enhancing its flexibility and versatility. Furthermore, the battery casing cutting equipment is easy to operate, saving time and effort.

[0037] In this embodiment, the upper platform 101 is provided with a through groove 103 with a length along the left-right direction, and the through groove 103 extends through the vertical direction; the cutting assembly 2 includes a driving mechanism, a movable seat 204 and a cutting motor 206. The driving mechanism can drive the movable seat 204 to reciprocate in the left-right direction on the lower platform 102. The cutting motor 206 is mounted on the movable seat 204. A cutting wheel 207 is mounted on the output shaft of the cutting motor 206, and a portion of the cutting wheel 207 extends upward out of the through groove 103.

[0038] The upper part of the cutting wheel 207 extends out of the through groove 103. When the cutting motor 206 moves to the left and right direction, it can cut the battery casing through the extended part of the cutting wheel 207. Most of the cutting wheel 207 is located between the upper platform 101 and the lower platform 102, which reduces the risk of operator injury due to misoperation.

[0039] In this embodiment, the clamping and positioning component 3 and the auxiliary positioning component 4 are located on different sides of the through groove 103. The output shaft of the second driving element 401 can drive the auxiliary positioning block 402 to move in the front-back direction so that the auxiliary positioning block 402 moves closer to or further away from the through groove 103.

[0040] The positions of the clamping and positioning component 3 and the auxiliary positioning component 4 are offset from the through groove 103, which can prevent the cutting wheel 207 from interfering with the clamping and positioning component 3 or the auxiliary positioning component 4.

[0041] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a fixed base 201 mounted on the lower platform 102 and a drive motor 202 mounted on the fixed base 201. A lead screw body 203 is mounted on the fixed base 201, and a nut seat 205 is mounted at the bottom of the movable seat 204. The lead screw body 203 and the nut seat 205 cooperate to form a ball screw nut pair. The drive motor 202 can drive the lead screw to rotate, causing the movable seat 204 to reciprocate in the left-right direction on the lower platform 102. The ball screw nut pair can convert the rotational motion of the drive motor 202 into linear motion of the nut seat 205 and the movable seat 204, resulting in stable and reliable motion.

[0042] In this embodiment, two protective covers 104 are provided on the upper platform 101. The two protective covers 104 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the gantry 301. The two protective covers 104 cover the upper part of the through groove 103, and a clearance cavity for the cutting wheel blade 207 to pass through is formed inside the two protective covers 104. The motor is fixed between the two support rods 3012 of the gantry 301, and the position of the housing of the cutting motor 206 is also between the two support rods 3012 of the gantry 301. Therefore, the remaining positions can cover the through groove 103 through the protective cover 104, and when the cutting wheel blade 207 moves to these positions, it is also covered by the protective cover 104, reducing the risk of injury caused by the operator's misoperation.

[0043] In this embodiment, both of the two protective covers 104 are in a "U" shape. The two legs of the "U" shape are fixedly connected to the upper platform 101, and the inner cavity of the "U" shape can be used as a clearance cavity for the cutting wheel blade 207 to pass through.

[0044] In this embodiment, the gantry 301 includes two reinforcing rods 3011, two support rods 3012 and an installation rod 3013. The two reinforcing rods 3011 are fixedly connected to the upper platform 101. The positions of the two reinforcing rods 3011 are both offset from the through groove 103. The front ends of the two reinforcing rods 3011 are respectively connected to the lower ends of the two support rods 3012, and the upper ends of the two support rods 3012 are respectively connected to the left and right ends of the installation rod 3013. The gantry 301 is used to raise the height of the first driving element 302, so that there is a space for placing the battery between the clamping and positioning block 303 and the upper platform 101. The reinforcing rod 3011 can increase the stability of the gantry 301.

[0045] In this embodiment, at least two first driving elements 302 are provided, and the first driving elements 302 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction on the installation rod 3013. In this embodiment, the number of the second driving elements 401 is the same as the number of the first driving elements 302, and the positions of the second driving elements 401 in the left-right direction respectively correspond to the positions of the first driving elements 302 in the left-right direction one by one.

[0046] One first driving element 302 and the corresponding second driving element 401 can fix one battery. The first driving elements 302 and the second driving elements 401 are both provided with two or more, and two or more batteries can be fixed simultaneously. During the process of the cutting motor 206 moving along the left-right direction, the outer shells of each battery can be cut in sequence, significantly improving the cutting efficiency.

[0047] In this embodiment, the frame 1 further includes a frame structure 105 composed of multiple beams, the upper platform 101 is disposed at the top of the frame structure 105, and the lower platform 102 is disposed in the middle of the frame structure 105.

[0048] Both the first drive element 302 and the second drive element 401 can be a telescopic cylinder or a telescopic motor. In use, the following steps are included:

[0049] S1. The output shafts of the first driving element 302 and the second driving element 401 are both in a retracted state. At this time, the clamping and positioning block 303 is away from the upper platform 101, and the auxiliary positioning block 402 is away from the gantry 301 and the through slot 103. There is a large space between the clamping and positioning block 303, the auxiliary positioning block 402 and the upper platform 101. The operator places the battery in this space, and the side of the battery should abut against the auxiliary positioning block 402.

[0050] S2. The output shaft of the second driving element 401 extends, causing the auxiliary positioning block 402 to move toward the through groove 103. The movement of the auxiliary positioning block 402 will simultaneously push the battery to move until the battery moves to the predetermined position, so as to facilitate the subsequent cutting of the battery casing.

[0051] S3. The output shaft of the first driving element 302 extends, causing the clamping and positioning block 303 to move downward. The clamping and positioning block 303 presses and fixes the battery on the upper platform 101 to prevent the battery from moving during the subsequent cutting process.

[0052] S4. The drive motor 202 drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the movable seat 204 to move in the left and right directions on the lower platform 102, thereby enabling the cutting wheel 207 to cut the battery casing, so that the battery cell and battery casing can be separated and recycled separately.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
