Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy battery maintenance technology, specifically to a dismantling platform for the cascade utilization of power batteries in new energy vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle market, how to dispose of retired power batteries has become an important issue. On the one hand, direct disposal will not only waste resources but may also cause environmental pollution. On the other hand, although these retired batteries are no longer suitable for electric vehicles, their remaining capacity still has high use value and can be applied to energy storage systems, backup power supplies and other scenarios. This method is called "cascade utilization".
[0003] Patent publication number CN216671747U discloses an intelligent dismantling device for the cascade utilization of power batteries, including a base with a limiting plate and a support plate on the base. The power battery casing to be dismantled is located inside the limiting plate. The dismantling device uses the limiting plate, limiting cover, and squeezing block to mechanically dismantle the casing cover and outer frame of the waste power battery. However, there are still shortcomings in practical applications. Specifically, during operation, it does not provide detailed preventive measures for possible electrical hazards (such as short circuits and electric shocks) during dismantling. When handling high-voltage batteries, without appropriate safety protection measures, it may lead to operator injury or equipment damage. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a dismantling platform for the cascade utilization of power batteries for new energy vehicles, which can automatically dismantle the power batteries of new energy vehicles in a closed space.
[0005] Technical Solution: A dismantling platform for the cascade utilization of power batteries in new energy vehicles includes a frame, a door panel, and a dismantling table. The frame serves as the assembly carrier for the dismantling platform. The front side of the frame has a battery loading opening, and the door panel is symmetrically hinged to the front opening of the frame, allowing for a sealed cover. The dismantling table is located at the bottom of the frame and is made of insulating material. The platform also includes: an electric slide rail located on the top of the inner wall of the frame; a robotic arm mounted on the electric slide rail, capable of flexible operation at various angles; a conversion block located at the operating end of the robotic arm; a second motor mounted on the end of the conversion block away from the robotic arm; a pneumatic gripper rotatably mounted on the end of the conversion block, with the output shaft of the second motor connected to the rotating shaft of the pneumatic gripper; and an operating tool mounted on the pneumatic gripper.
[0006] Furthermore, the operating tools include an electric screwdriver and / or an electric suction cup.
[0007] Furthermore, there are two robotic arms and two electric slide rails, with each robotic arm mounted on one of the two electric slide rails. An electric screwdriver is mounted on the pneumatic gripper of one of the robotic arms, and an electric suction cup is mounted on the pneumatic gripper of the other robotic arm. The electric screwdriver is used to remove the screws from the battery; the electric suction cup is used to attract and pull the loosened battery. By controlling the two robotic arms to remove screws and disassemble the battery on the disassembly table, the entire operation is performed on the disassembly table inside the frame, improving the reliability and safety of battery disassembly.
[0008] Furthermore, observation windows are provided on both side walls of the frame. These observation windows are used to observe the battery disassembly operation from outside the frame, improving the safety of the operator when disassembling the battery.
[0009] Furthermore, the door panel consists of two pieces, each with an observation window.
[0010] Furthermore, all the observation windows are made of tempered glass.
[0011] Furthermore, the robotic arm includes: an electric turntable, slidably mounted on the electric slide rail via a mounting block; a large arm, fixedly mounted on the electric turntable; a small arm, hinged to the end of the large arm away from the electric turntable; a small arm drive motor, mounted on the large arm, with the output shaft of the small arm drive motor connected to the rotation shaft of the small arm; the large arm and small arm cooperate to achieve flexible up-and-down rotation of the robotic arm; a connecting block, hinged to the end of the small arm away from the large arm, the connecting block having a built-in drive motor that drives the conversion block to rotate, causing the pneumatic gripper on the conversion block to drive the electric screwdriver to rotate left and right; a first motor, mounted on the end of the small arm, with the output shaft of the first motor connected to the rotation shaft of the connecting block; the first motor drives the connecting block to rotate, achieving further rotational extension of the robotic arm, thereby enabling the robotic arm to flexibly loosen the screws on the battery.
[0012] Furthermore, an air pump is installed on one outer wall of the frame, and the air outlet of the air pump is connected to the frame through a pipe. The air pump is used to draw inert gas (such as nitrogen or argon) into the frame. The other side of the frame is connected to an exhaust pipe equipped with a valve. The air pump continuously draws inert gas into the frame, making the frame full of inert gas and constantly replacing the normal air inside. This keeps the detachable battery in an inert gas environment, effectively isolating the battery from air to prevent oxidation, while significantly reducing oxygen content and lowering the possibility of fire and explosion.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a refrigeration unit. The refrigeration unit is installed on the pipe connected to the air pump inside the frame. The refrigeration unit is used to cool the gas drawn into the frame by the air pump, thereby controlling the temperature of the working environment inside the frame and ensuring that the battery disassembly process is carried out under relatively low temperature and stable conditions, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the operation.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a camera. The camera is installed on the inner wall of the frame, and the lens of the camera faces the disassembly table. The camera is used to monitor the situation during battery disassembly, which facilitates remote monitoring by the operator and improves the timeliness and efficiency of battery disassembly.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model forms a closed operating space through the design of the frame and door panel, effectively isolating the external environment and reducing the risk factors during operation.

[0017] 2. This utility model can draw inert gas (such as nitrogen or argon) into the frame through an air pump to replace air, avoid oxidation of battery materials, reduce the risk of fire and explosion, and ensure that the working environment is at a low temperature by the refrigeration unit, further improving the safety of operation and preventing changes or accidents in battery materials caused by high temperature.
[0018] 3. The use of electric screwdrivers and pneumatic grippers, etc., of this utility model improves the accuracy and consistency of operation and reduces errors caused by manual operation.
[0019] 4. Configure cameras to monitor the disassembly process in real time, which facilitates remote monitoring by operators, timely detection and resolution of problems, and improvement of disassembly efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Although this invention may be described with respect to a particular application or industry, those skilled in the art will recognize its broader applicability. Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "above," "below," "upward," "downward," etc., are used to describe the drawings and not to indicate a limitation on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
[0027] A dismantling platform for the cascade utilization of power batteries in new energy vehicles, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the assembly includes a frame 1, a door panel 111, and a disassembly table 3. The frame 1 serves as the assembly carrier for this disassembly table. The front of the frame 1 has a battery loading opening, and the door panel 111 is symmetrically hinged to the front opening of the frame 1. The door panel 111 can seal and cover the frame 1. The disassembly table 3 is located at the bottom inside the frame 1 and is made of insulating material. The assembly also includes: an electric slide rail 4 located at the top of the inner wall of the frame 1; a robotic arm 5 mounted on the electric slide rail 4, which can flexibly perform operations at various angles; a conversion block 6 located at the operating end of the robotic arm 5; a second motor 7 mounted on the end of the conversion block 6 away from the robotic arm 5; a pneumatic gripper 8 rotatably mounted on the end of the conversion block 6, with the output shaft of the second motor 7 connected to the rotating shaft of the pneumatic gripper 8; and an operating tool mounted on the pneumatic gripper 8.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the operating tools are an electric screwdriver 9 and / or an electric suction cup 15. When the operating tools are an electric screwdriver 9 and an electric suction cup 15, the second motor 7 drives the pneumatic gripper 8 to rotate, which allows switching between the operating positions of the electric screwdriver 9 and the electric suction cup 15, thereby enabling multiple steps of disassembling the power battery to be completed by a robotic arm 5.
[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, there are two electric slide rails 4, spaced apart at the top of the inner wall of the frame 1. There are two robotic arms: one robotic arm 5 is equipped with an electric screwdriver 9 via a pneumatic gripper 8, used to remove screws from the battery; the other robotic arm 5 is equipped with an electric suction cup 15 via a pneumatic gripper 8, used to suction and pull off the battery after the screws have been loosened. By controlling the two robotic arms 5 to remove screws and disassemble the battery on the disassembly table 3, the entire operation is performed on the disassembly table 3 inside the frame 1, improving the reliability and safety of battery disassembly. Observation windows 2 are provided on both side walls of the frame 1, and observation windows 2 are also provided on both door panels 111. All observation windows 2 are made of tempered glass and are used to observe the battery disassembly operation from outside the frame 1, improving the safety of the operator during battery disassembly.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the robotic arm 5 includes: an electric turntable 51, which is slidably mounted on an electric slide rail 4 via a mounting block 41; a large arm 52, which is fixedly mounted on the electric turntable 51; and a small arm 53, which is hinged to the end of the large arm 52 away from the electric turntable 51. A small arm drive motor 531 is mounted on the large arm 52, and the output shaft of the small arm drive motor 531 is connected to the rotation shaft of the small arm 53. The position of the robotic arm on the same horizontal plane is adjusted by the rotation of the large arm 52 with the electric turntable 51, and the up and down rotation of the robotic arm is achieved by the rotation of the small arm 53. The connecting block 54 is hinged to the end of the forearm 53 away from the upper arm 52. The connecting block 54 has a built-in drive motor 541, which drives the conversion block 6 to rotate, causing the pneumatic gripper 8 and electric screwdriver 9 on the conversion block 6 to rotate left and right. The first motor 55 is installed at the end of the forearm 53. The output shaft of the first motor 55 is connected to the rotating shaft of the connecting block 54. The first motor 55 drives the connecting block 54 to rotate, thereby realizing the further rotation and extension of the robotic arm 5, thus enabling the robotic arm 5 to flexibly loosen the screws on the battery.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an air pump 10 is installed on one outer wall of the frame 1. The air outlet of the air pump 10 is connected to the inside of the frame 1 through a pipe. The air pump 10 is used to draw inert gas (such as nitrogen or argon) into the frame 1. The other side of the frame 1 is connected to an exhaust pipe equipped with a valve 11. The air pump 10 continuously draws inert gas into the frame 1, and the inert gas fills the frame 1 and continuously replaces the normal air inside it, so that the battery to be removed is in an inert gas environment, which effectively isolates the battery from the air to prevent oxidation, while significantly reducing the oxygen content and reducing the possibility of fire and explosion.
[0032] like Figure 4As shown, it also includes a chiller 12. The chiller 12 is installed on the pipe connected to the air pump 10 inside the frame 1. The chiller 12 is used to cool the gas drawn into the frame 1 by the air pump 10, thereby controlling the temperature of the working environment inside the frame 1 and ensuring that the battery disassembly process is carried out under relatively low temperature and stable conditions, thereby improving the safety and efficiency of the operation. A camera 13 is installed on the inner wall of the frame 1. The lens of the camera 13 faces the disassembly table 3. The camera 13 is used to monitor the situation during battery disassembly, which is convenient for remote monitoring by the operator and improves the timeliness and efficiency of battery disassembly.
[0033] When disassembling batteries using this disassembly table, the battery to be disassembled is first fed into the disassembly table 3 through the battery feeding opening on the front side of the frame 1. After the door panel 111 is closed, a closed working space is formed. To ensure operational safety, tempered glass observation windows 2 are provided on both side walls of the frame 1 and on the door panel 111, allowing operators to observe the internal battery disassembly process from the outside without directly operating and causing potential dangers. After the battery is placed on the disassembly table 3 made of insulating material, to improve the safety of the operating environment, an inert gas (such as nitrogen) is drawn into the frame 1 by the air pump 10. By opening the valve 11 on the exhaust pipe, the inert gas fills the entire space, and the original normal air in the frame 1 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe, ensuring that the frame 1 maintains a positive pressure state, thereby effectively isolating oxygen in the air, preventing battery oxidation, and reducing the risk of fire and explosion. In addition, the refrigeration unit 12 is connected to the air pump 10. The temperature of the working environment inside the frame 1 is controlled by cooling inert gas through the pipes, ensuring that the battery disassembly process is carried out under low-temperature and stable conditions. This not only helps protect the battery materials but also increases operational safety. When the battery is disassembled, two robotic arms 5 installed on the electric slide rail 4 on the top of the inner wall of the frame 1 begin to operate. One robotic arm 5 is equipped with an electric screwdriver 9, which can accurately locate and loosen the screws on the battery through its flexible angle adjustment capability. At the same time, the other robotic arm is equipped with an electric suction cup 15, which is used to suction and pull the battery assembly after the screws are loosened. The two robotic arms 5 work together to improve disassembly efficiency and safety. Finally, the camera 13 installed on the inner wall of the frame 1 can monitor the battery disassembly in real time and transmit the video signal to an external display or control system, which allows operators to remotely monitor the disassembly process, adjust operating parameters in a timely manner, or handle abnormal situations to ensure the smooth progress of the disassembly work.
[0034] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
