Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a battery dismantling device, and more particularly to a transfer device for cutting individual batteries. Background Technology
[0002] Refined dismantling of individual battery cells is a key technology for achieving efficient recycling and resource reuse of waste batteries. Its core objective is to safely and environmentally extract valuable materials from batteries, such as positive and negative electrode materials, electrolytes, and separators. During the dismantling process, pretreatment is required to ensure the safety and operability of the dismantling. Then, the outer casing is cut by mechanical cutting to separate the outer casing from the core. The positive and negative electrode plates and separators in the core are efficiently separated. The separated electrode plates are then further separated into active materials and current collectors for recycling and purification. During the cutting of the battery casing, the battery needs to be moved to various cutting stations by transfer equipment.
[0003] In existing transfer devices, batteries are mostly transported by using robotic arms or grippers to move them from the voltage detection station to the cutting station and then move them there. However, due to the different sizes and types of batteries, smaller batteries are often prone to deviation during transfer, making it difficult for them to reach the preset position accurately. Manual intervention is often required to correct the position of the batteries, making it difficult to achieve continuous processing.
[0004] Therefore, this invention aims to provide a transfer device for cutting single-cell batteries, which can not only adjust the opening size of the transfer structure according to the size of the battery, but also adapt to both small and large batteries, transfer batteries at different workstations at the same time, and ensure that the batteries do not tilt or shift during the transfer process. It has high adaptability and reduces manual intervention. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a transfer device for cutting single-cell batteries, which can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0007] A transfer device for cutting single-cell batteries includes: a transfer platform, a guide frame provided on the transfer platform, and a movable frame capable of reciprocating motion slidably mounted on the guide frame;
[0008] An adaptive clamping structure includes a clamping member with an adjustable clamping spacing disposed at the lower end of a movable frame. The clamping member is located on the side near the battery inlet, and a toggle component is disposed on the side of the clamping member away from the battery inlet. When the clamping member moves the battery, the toggle component simultaneously moves the battery forward.
[0009] As a further improvement, the guide frame includes a lifting frame for raising the height, a transverse guide plate is mounted on the lifting frame, at least two transverse guide rails are locked to the inner side of the transverse guide plate, an axial output member is connected to one end of the transverse guide plate, and the movable frame is slidably mounted on the transverse guide rails.
[0010] As a further improvement, the axial output component includes a transverse drive motor locked to one side of the transverse guide plate, the transverse drive motor being connected to a transverse drive screw, the transverse drive screw cooperating with the moving frame via a slider.
[0011] As a further improvement, the movable frame includes a transverse movable plate that cooperates with the transverse guide rail. The transverse movable plate is provided with a lower movable push rod and a longitudinal guide block. A longitudinal movable plate is connected to the output end of the lower movable push rod. The longitudinal movable plate is slidably connected to the longitudinal guide block. An extension plate is provided at the bottom of the longitudinal guide block. The clamping component and the actuating component are installed below the extension plate.
[0012] As a further improvement, the clamping component includes a fixed clamping plate disposed on one side of the bottom surface of the extension plate, and a movable clamping plate slidably connected to the extension plate on the opposite side of the fixed clamping plate, the movable clamping plate being driven by a transverse cylinder.
[0013] As a further improvement, the actuating assembly includes a first actuating member and a second actuating member. The first actuating member and the second actuating member have the same structure but are arranged in opposite directions. The first actuating member includes a central locking frame fixed at the middle position of the bottom of the extension plate. A toggle cylinder is locked below the central locking frame. A toggle plate is provided on the output end of the toggle cylinder.
[0014] As a further improvement, the bottom of the extension plate is provided with a lower extension guide rail, on which a middle clamping member is slidably installed between the first actuating member and the second actuating member. The middle clamping member is connected to the actuating cylinder through an extension rod. When the actuating cylinder is pushed out, the distance between the middle clamping member and the first actuating member becomes longer.
[0015] As a further improvement, the central clamping member includes a central shifter slidably connected to the lower extension guide rail, and an auxiliary actuating cylinder is locked to one side of the central shifter, with an auxiliary plate connected to the output end of the auxiliary actuating cylinder.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] During the battery cutting process, the battery needs to be moved between different workstations. However, since batteries of different specifications and manufacturers have different sizes, the transfer structure needs to be adjustable according to the size of the battery during the transfer process. Therefore, this utility model, through the setting of clamping parts, can adjust its own opening size when the moving frame moves along the guide frame to the top of the battery, thereby adapting to the size of different batteries. As a result, the battery can be in a relatively stable state during the transfer process and is not easy to fall off.
[0018] During battery cutting, the battery typically needs to move from the inspection station to the first cutting station and then to the second cutting station. If only one clamping device is used for continuous turnover, the turnover efficiency is very low. Therefore, this invention adds a first actuating device and a second actuating device to the lower end of the moving frame on the basis of the clamping device. As the moving frame moves the clamping device, the first actuating device and the second actuating device are also activated, which simultaneously moves the battery on its side forward. Therefore, only one set of power is needed to move the batteries at three stations at the same time, which greatly reduces the number of parts in the transfer device, making the overall structure more compact and the footprint smaller.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0027] In the description of this utility model, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-4As shown, a transfer device for cutting single-cell batteries includes: a transfer platform 20, on which a guide frame 21 is provided, and a reciprocating movable frame 22 is slidably mounted on the guide frame 21; an adaptive clamping structure 23, including a clamping member 231 with an adjustable clamping distance provided at the lower end of the movable frame 22, the clamping member 231 being close to the battery feeding side, and a toggle component being provided on the side of the clamping member 231 away from the battery feeding side, wherein when the clamping member 231 moves the battery, the toggle component simultaneously moves the battery forward.
[0029] During the battery cutting process, it needs to move between different workstations. However, since batteries of different specifications and manufacturers have different sizes, the transfer structure needs to be able to adjust according to the size of the battery during the battery movement. Therefore, in this embodiment, the clamping member 231 can adjust its opening size to adapt to different battery sizes when the moving frame 22 moves along the guide frame 21 to the top of the battery. This ensures that the battery is in a relatively stable state during the transfer process and is not easy to fall off.
[0030] During battery cutting, the battery typically needs to move from the inspection station to the first cutting station and then to the second cutting station. If only one clamping component 231 is used for continuous turnover, the turnover efficiency is very low. Therefore, in this embodiment, a first actuating component 232 and a second actuating component 233 are provided at the lower end of the moving frame 22 on the basis of the clamping component 231. As the moving frame 22 moves the clamping component 231, the first actuating component 232 and the second actuating component 233 will also be moved, thereby moving the battery on its side forward. Therefore, only one set of power is needed to move the batteries at three stations at the same time, which greatly reduces the number of parts in the transfer device, making the overall structure more compact and the footprint smaller.
[0031] During the battery transfer process, it first needs to be moved from the voltage detection station to the other station. This part is achieved by the movement of the moving frame 22 on the guide frame 21. Therefore, the guide frame 21 needs to guide and limit the movement direction of the moving frame 22. The guide frame 21 includes a lifting frame 211 for raising the height. A transverse guide plate 212 is installed on the lifting frame 211. At least two transverse guide rails 213 are locked on the inner side of the transverse guide plate 212. One end of the transverse guide plate 212 is connected to an axial output member 214. The moving frame 22 is slidably mounted on the transverse guide rails 213, so that the moving frame 22 can move laterally along the transverse guide rails 213.
[0032] The power for the movable frame 22 is mounted on the transverse guide plate 212. In this embodiment, the axial output component 214 includes a transverse drive motor 2141 locked to one side of the transverse guide plate 212. The transverse drive motor 2141 is connected to a transverse drive screw 2142. The transverse drive screw 2142 cooperates with the movable frame 22 through a slider, thereby realizing the transverse movement of the movable frame 22 by cooperating with the slider. In other embodiments, other driving methods may also be used.
[0033] In the traditional setup of the mobile frame 22, the overall deployment is usually completed by simply setting up a liftable motor on the transverse structure. However, in this embodiment, the mobile frame 22 includes a transverse moving plate 221 that cooperates with the transverse guide rail 213. The transverse moving plate 221 is provided with a lower moving push rod 222 and a longitudinal guide block 223. A longitudinal moving plate 224 is connected to the output end of the lower moving push rod 222. The longitudinal moving plate 224 is slidably connected to the longitudinal guide block 223. An extension plate 225 is provided at the bottom of the longitudinal guide block 223. The clamping component 231 and the actuating component are installed below the extension plate 225, thereby enabling the simultaneous realization of transverse movement, longitudinal movement, and transverse multi-workpiece adjustment.
[0034] The clamping component 231 is the first step of clamping. Specifically, the clamping component 231 includes a fixed clamping plate 2311 disposed on one side of the bottom surface of the extension plate 225, and a movable clamping plate 2312 slidably connected to the extension plate 225 disposed on the opposite side of the fixed clamping plate 2311. The movable clamping plate 2312 is driven by a transverse cylinder 2313. The distance between the fixed clamping plate 2311 and the movable clamping plate 2312 is adjustable so that the transfer device can adapt to most battery specifications, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.
[0035] In this embodiment, since there are multiple workstations, in order to adapt to multiple workstations, the actuating assembly includes a first actuating member 232 and a second actuating member 233. The first actuating member 232 and the second actuating member 233 have the same structure and are set in opposite directions. The first actuating member 232 includes a central locking frame 2321 fixed at the bottom center of the extension plate 225. A toctuating cylinder 2322 is locked below the central locking frame 2321. A toctuating plate 2323 is provided on the output end of the toctuating cylinder 2322. In fact, different numbers of actuating members can be added according to the number of workstations. The longest and shortest lengths of the toctuating plate 2323 can accommodate the largest and smallest battery sizes.
[0036] There is a certain gap between the two actuating elements. If the battery located in the gap is not individually guided and limited, it is easy to shift. Therefore, the bottom of the extension plate 225 in this embodiment is provided with a lower extension guide rail 2251. A middle clamping member 234 located between the first actuating element 232 and the second actuating element 233 is slidably installed on the lower extension guide rail 2251. The middle clamping member 234 is connected to the actuating cylinder 2322 through an extension rod 235. When the actuating cylinder 2322 is pushed out, the gap between the middle clamping member 234 and the first actuating element 232 becomes longer. The separately provided middle clamping member 234 can realize the adaptive change of its own position without the need for a separate power component, thereby improving the utility model of this invention without adding components and circuits.
[0037] In this embodiment, the central clamping member 234 includes a central shift seat 2341 slidably connected to the lower extension guide rail 2251. An auxiliary actuating cylinder 2342 is locked to one side of the central shift seat 2341. An auxiliary plate 2343 is connected to the output end of the auxiliary actuating cylinder 2342. When encountering a small battery, the auxiliary plate 2343 can be extended to its maximum length, thereby ensuring that the small battery can also be clamped by the central clamping member 234.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
