The recycling value of metal materials in waste batteries is significant, but efficient utilization requires precise sorting.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1: As Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a waste lithium-ion battery sorting robot, including a connector 1, a motor 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connector 1, a threaded rod 3 fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 2, the outer wall of the threaded rod 3 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connector 1, a retainer 4 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 3, a plurality of limiters 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the retainer 4, the outer wall of the limiters 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector 1, and an adjusting plate 6 threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 3, the outer wall of the adjusting plate 6 being fixed... Several adjustment structures are connected, and the adjustment structures are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the limiter 5. The adjustment structure is a plate 6 with several limit brackets 7 fixedly connected to the outer wall. The inner wall of the limit bracket 7 is rotatably connected to the adjustment rod 8. The outer walls on both sides of the adjustment rod 8 are rotatably connected to the linkage rod 10. The outer wall of the linkage rod 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the limiter 5. The outer walls on both sides of the limiter 5 are rotatably connected to the limit rod 9. The inner wall of the limit rod 9 is rotatably connected to the clamping claw 11. The inner wall of the linkage rod 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the clamping claw 11.

[0022] In this embodiment, the device is first moved to a suitable position, and then the motor 2 is started. The drive end of the motor 2 rotates, thereby driving the threaded rod 3 to rotate on the inner wall of the connector 1. The rotation of the threaded rod 3 drives the adjusting plate 6 to move along the outer wall of the threaded rod 3 towards the motor 2. The movement of the adjusting plate 6 drives the multiple limiting brackets 7 on the outer wall of the adjusting plate 6 to move accordingly. The movement of the limiting brackets 7 drives the adjusting rod 8 to move accordingly. The movement of the adjusting rod 8, under the action of the limiting rod 9, drives the clamping claw 11 to move and clamp the battery. This part mainly introduces the working principle of the clamping structure. By using a threaded rod and multiple sets of clamping claws, the stability of the lithium-ion battery during clamping and handling is improved, preventing it from falling during clamping. Secondly, it can also provide a good clamping effect for special irregularly shaped lithium-ion batteries, making the device more practical.

[0023] Example 2: As Figures 1-4 As shown, a clamping plate 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping claw 11, a friction pad 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping plate 13, an air valve 15 is installed on the inner wall of the clamping plate 13, an air bladder 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the clamping plate 13, the inner wall of the air bladder 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air valve 15, and a sensor 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded rod 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, when the clamping claw 11 moves the clamping plate 13 to the battery surface, the air valve 15 is activated to inflate the airbag 16. The airbag 16 expands, thereby causing the friction pad 14 to adhere to the battery surface and compress and fix it. At the same time, the sensor 12 is activated to detect the battery status. This part mainly introduces the working principle of the air valve and airbag structure. By using the air valve and airbag structure, the friction pad is made to adhere to the battery surface by inflating the airbag during the clamping process, thereby reducing the wear caused to the battery during the clamping process. Secondly, the structure of the airbag compressing the friction pad can also further improve the clamping effect of the device.

[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, the moving device is moved to a suitable position, and then the motor 2 is started. The drive end of the motor 2 rotates, thereby driving the threaded rod 3 to rotate on the inner wall of the connector 1. The rotation of the threaded rod 3 drives the adjusting plate 6 to move along the outer wall of the threaded rod 3 towards the motor 2. The movement of the adjusting plate 6 drives the multiple limiting brackets 7 on the outer wall of the adjusting plate 6 to move accordingly. The movement of the limiting brackets 7 drives the adjusting rod 8 to move accordingly. The movement of the adjusting rod 8, under the action of the limiting rod 9, drives the clamping claw 11 to move and clamp the battery. When the clamping claw 11 drives the clamping plate 13 to the surface of the battery, the air valve 15 is activated to inflate the airbag 16. The expansion of the airbag 16 drives the friction pad 14 to adhere to the surface of the battery and squeeze and fix it. At the same time, the sensor 12 is activated to detect the status of the battery.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
