Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a battery disassembly device, and more particularly to a cell pack orientation mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Refined disassembly 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 disassembly process, pretreatment is required to ensure the safety and operability of the disassembly. Then, the outer shell is cut by mechanical cutting to separate the outer shell from the core. The positive and negative electrode plates and separators in the core are then efficiently separated. The separated electrode plates are then further separated into active materials and current collectors for further recycling and purification. Before the electrode plates are separated, the opening positions of different core packs are different due to the different packaging methods during production. Therefore, when laser cutting the outer membrane of the core pack, it is necessary to first find the correct orientation of the core pack.

[0003] Since the opening positions of core packages of different specifications are not fixed, the most complicated situation is when it is necessary to flip the core package while simultaneously changing its direction. Existing technologies usually divide the core package flipping process into two parts: setting the core package flipping structure as a separate module and setting the core package turning structure as a separate module. Although the same effect can be achieved, the overall structure is very cumbersome. It not only requires a large number of mechanical structures, but also a lot of programming and recognition procedures, resulting in low efficiency in adjusting the core package direction.

[0004] Therefore, this invention aims to provide a core package orientation mechanism that can flip the core package while simultaneously reversing its orientation, integrating multiple steps into one workstation. This not only simplifies the structure but also the identification and logic control procedures, enabling the core package to be quickly and accurately adjusted to the correct processing surface. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows:

The lower end of the first core package longitudinal moving component is connected to the core package turning component, and the end of the second core package longitudinal moving component is connected to the core package translation component. A flipping table is provided on the side of the core package transfer machine platform near the core package translation component. When the front of the core package is on the bottom side, the core package translation component clamps the core package onto the flipping table. The flipping table drives the core package to rotate 180° and then moves it to the next station through the core package translation component.

[0010] As a further improvement, the flipping table includes a flipping table surface connected to the core package transfer machine table. The flipping table surface is provided with a movable groove, and two core package clamping components are slidably connected in the movable groove. A flipping component is movable at one end of each of the two core package clamping components facing each other. After the core package clamping components come close to each other, they clamp the core package and drive the core package to flip through the flipping component.

[0011] As a further improvement, the flipping assembly includes a flipping servo motor locked within the flipping table. A spline shaft is connected to the flipping servo motor, and both ends of the spline shaft are connected to the flipping drive wheel via splines. The flipping drive wheel is connected to a flipping driven wheel via a flipping timing belt. The flipping driven wheel passes through the core pack clamping assembly and is connected to a flipping clamping part. When the core pack clamping assembly moves, it drives the flipping clamping part to move.

[0012] As a further improvement, the flipping clamping part includes a clamping block that penetrates the core package clamping assembly, a core package flipping frame is locked on the clamping block, and a flipping clamping plate is locked on the core package flipping frame.

[0013] As a further improvement, a clamping guide rail is provided on the inner side of the flipping table, and a clamping drive unit is provided on the outer side of the flipping table. A clamping guide screw is connected to the clamping drive unit in the direction of the inner side of the flipping table. The core clamping assembly includes a clamping sliding frame that slides with the clamping guide rail. The clamping sliding frame slides with a spline and a spline shaft. The clamping slider of the clamping sliding frame meshes with the clamping guide screw. A synchronous belt tension seat is provided on the top surface of the clamping sliding frame. The flipping driven wheel is rotatably mounted on the synchronous belt tension seat.

[0014] As a further improvement, the first core package longitudinal movement assembly includes a first core package longitudinal guide seat connected to a dual-position moving frame. A first core package longitudinal movement member is locked to the top of the first core package longitudinal guide seat. The first core package longitudinal movement member passes through the hollow first core package longitudinal guide seat and is connected to the first core package longitudinal moving frame. A core package steering motor is provided on the first core package longitudinal moving frame, and the core package steering motor is connected to the core package steering member.

[0015] As a further improvement, the core package steering component has the same structure as the core package translation component. The core package steering component includes a steering component connecting frame, the lower end of which is connected to a steering crossbeam, and the lower end of which is connected to a steering drive component.

[0016] As a further improvement, the steering drive includes a steering drive motor disposed at the upper end of the steering crossbeam, the steering drive motor passing through the steering crossbeam and connected to a steering drive wheel located at the lower end of the steering crossbeam, the steering drive wheel being connected to a steering driven wheel via a steering timing belt, and the steering timing belt being connected to a steering limit assembly.

[0017] As a further improvement, the steering limit assembly includes two sets of core-enclosed steering components, each core-enclosed steering component including a steering connecting arm that is connected to the steering timing belt, and a steering support frame connected to the bottom of the steering connecting arm.

[0018] As a further improvement, a core-pack steering clamping component is provided on the inner side of the steering support frame. The core-pack steering clamping component includes a core-pack steering clamping push rod locked on the steering support frame, and a steering clamping claw is connected to the lower end of the core-pack steering clamping push rod.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] In the process of core pack orientation, two devices are usually used for turning and flipping, which makes the overall structure very complicated. This not only requires a lot of mechanical structures, but also a lot of programming and recognition procedures. Therefore, the core pack orientation mechanism of this utility model integrates the core pack turning structure and the core pack flipping structure on a two-position moving frame. The core pack turning structure and the core pack flipping structure use separate first and second core pack longitudinal moving parts to achieve longitudinal movement. After the core pack turning part moves the core pack to the correct direction, the flipping table flips the core pack to the correct angle, providing a positioning basis for the subsequent core pack outer film segmentation. The two steps can be realized simultaneously in the same mechanism, and the core pack turning structure and the core pack flipping structure can be driven separately or synchronously, making it more adaptable.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, a core package orientation mechanism includes: a core package transfer platform 60, an orientation frame 50 disposed on the core package transfer platform 60, a double-position moving frame 59 movably mounted on the orientation frame 50, a core package turning structure 51 and a core package flipping structure 52 mounted on the double-position moving frame 59, a first core package longitudinal moving component 53 and a second core package longitudinal moving component 54 respectively disposed on the core package turning structure 51 and the core package flipping structure 52, a first core package longitudinal moving component 53 and a second core package longitudinal moving component 54 respectively, a core package turning component 55 connected to the lower end of the first core package longitudinal moving component 53, a core package translation component 56 connected to the end of the second core package longitudinal moving component 54, and a flipping table 57 disposed on the side of the core package transfer platform 60 near the core package translation component 56. When the front of the core package is located on the bottom side, the core package translation component 56 clamps the core package onto the flipping table 57, and the flipping table 57 drives the core package to rotate 180° and then moves it to the next station through the core package translation component 56.

[0033] In the process of core pack orientation, two devices are usually used for turning and flipping, which makes the overall structure very complicated. It not only requires a lot of mechanical structures, but also a lot of programming and recognition procedures. Therefore, the core pack orientation mechanism of this utility model integrates the core pack turning structure 51 and the core pack flipping structure 52 on a double-position moving frame 59. The core pack turning structure 51 and the core pack flipping structure 52 use separate first core pack longitudinal moving component 53 and second core pack longitudinal moving component 54 to achieve longitudinal movement. After the core pack turning component 55 moves the core pack to the correct direction, the flipping table 57 flips the core pack to the correct angle, providing a positioning basis for the subsequent core pack outer film segmentation. Two steps can be realized simultaneously in the same mechanism, and the core pack turning structure 51 and the core pack flipping structure 52 can be driven individually or synchronously, making it more adaptable.

[0034] In fact, the core package flipping structure 52 can also move up and down, thereby raising the entire structure when flipping. Due to the angle of the illustration, it can be seen that the entire flipping platform 571 is in conjunction with a guide rail.

[0035] Since the diaphragm opening of some core packages is located at the lower end, the entire core package needs to be flipped over before the electrode separation. Specifically, the flipping table 57 includes a flipping table surface 571 connected to the core package transfer table 60. The flipping table surface 571 has a movable groove 572. Two core package clamping assemblies 573 are slidably connected in the movable groove 572. A flipping assembly 574 is movable at one end of each of the two core package clamping assemblies 573 facing each other. After the core package clamping assemblies 573 come close to each other, they clamp the core package and drive the core package to flip through the flipping assembly 574. That is, the lateral movement is achieved by the core package clamping assembly 573 and the axial movement is achieved by the flipping assembly 574.

[0036] During the flipping process, the flipping assembly 574 includes a flipping servo motor 5741 locked within the flipping table 571. A spline shaft 5742 is connected to the flipping servo motor 5741. Both ends of the spline shaft 5742 are connected to the flipping drive wheel 5743 via splines. The flipping drive wheel 5743 is connected to a flipping driven wheel 5745 via a flipping timing belt 5744. The flipping driven wheel 5745 passes through the core-packing clamping assembly 573 and is connected to a flipping clamping part 5746. When the core-packing clamping assembly 573 moves, it drives the flipping clamping part 5746 to move. The flipping servo motor 5741 drives the spline shaft 5742 to rotate, thereby causing the spline shaft 5742 to move. This, in turn, causes the flipping drive wheel 5743 to rotate, which in turn drives the flipping clamping part 5746 on the driven wheel 5745 to rotate via the flipping timing belt 5744.

[0037] To make the clamping process more stable and to allow the clamp to be adapted to more core pack models, the flip clamping part 5746 includes a clamp block 57461 that penetrates the core pack clamping assembly 573. A core pack flipping frame 57462 is locked on the clamp block 57461, and a flip clamping plate 57463 is locked on the core pack flipping frame 57462. The clamp block 57461 and the flip clamping plate 57463 are replaceable and can be adjusted according to the core pack specifications.

[0038] Before flipping the core package, the flipping assembly 574 needs to be brought close to the core package. Specifically, the inner side of the flipping table 571 is provided with a clamping guide rail 5711, and the outer side of the flipping table 571 is also provided with a clamping drive part 5712. The clamping drive part 5712 is connected to a clamping guide screw 5713 in the direction of the inner side of the flipping table 571. The core package clamping assembly 573 includes a clamping sliding frame 5731 that slides with the clamping guide rail 5711. The clamping sliding frame 5731 slides with the spline and the spline shaft 5742. The clamping slider 5732 of the moving frame 5731 engages with the clamping guide screw 5713. A synchronous belt tension seat 5733 is provided on the top surface of the clamping slider 5731. The flip driven wheel 5745 is rotatably mounted on the synchronous belt tension seat 5733. Thus, the clamping guide screw 5713 can be driven by the clamping drive unit 5712, thereby causing the clamping slider 5731 on the clamping guide screw 5713 to slide along the clamping guide screw 5713, thereby driving the flip driven wheel 5745 on the synchronous belt tension seat 5733 to move accordingly.

[0039] When the core package is turned, it needs to move laterally not only through the double-position moving frame 59, but also vertically to move closer to the core package or make way for it. Therefore, the first core package longitudinal moving component 53 in this embodiment includes a first core package longitudinal guide seat 531 connected to the double-position moving frame 59. The top of the first core package longitudinal guide seat 531 is locked with a first core package longitudinal moving component 532. The first core package longitudinal moving component 532 passes through the hollow first core package longitudinal guide seat 531 and is connected to the first core package longitudinal moving frame 533. A core package turning motor 534 is provided on the first core package longitudinal moving frame 533. The core package turning motor 534 is connected to the core package turning component 55. After the first core package longitudinal moving frame 533 reaches a predetermined height, the core package turning component 55 is rotated by the core package turning motor 534.

[0040] In order to clamp core packages of different specifications during core package adjustment, the core package steering component 55 and the core package translation component 56 in this embodiment have the same structure. The core package steering component 55 includes a steering component connecting frame 551. The lower end of the steering component connecting frame 551 is connected to a steering cross frame 552. The lower end of the steering cross frame 552 is connected to the steering drive component 553. Through the wider steering cross frame 552, the steering limit component 5534 after width adjustment can meet the width of most core packages on the market, thereby improving the practicality of this invention.

[0041] During the process of the steering drive component 553 driving the steering limit assembly 5534, if the drive structure is pushed out in one direction, a secondary position correction is required. Therefore, the steering drive component 553 in this embodiment includes a steering drive motor 5531 disposed on the upper end of the steering crossbeam 552. The steering drive motor 5531 passes through the steering crossbeam 552 and is connected to a steering drive wheel 5532 located at the lower end of the steering crossbeam 552. The steering drive wheel 5532 is connected to a steering driven wheel through a steering timing belt 5533. The steering timing belt 5533 is connected to a steering limit assembly 5534. Through the effect of the two ends of the steering timing belt 5533 moving in different directions during operation, the steering limit assembly 5534 can move towards the middle or towards both sides at the same time. Only one positioning step is needed to reach the accurate separation point. The steering drive motor 5531 is a servo motor with extremely high rotational accuracy, thereby accurately controlling the displacement of the steering timing belt 5533.

[0042] During the engagement of the steering timing belt 5533 and the steering limiting assembly 5534, the steering limiting assembly 5534 includes two sets of core-encased steering components. Each core-encased steering component includes a steering connecting arm 55341 that connects to the steering timing belt 5533. The bottom of the steering connecting arm 55341 is connected to a steering support frame 55342, which allows the two steering support frames 55342 to move synchronously during the movement of the steering timing belt 5533.

[0043] In order to maintain the stability of the core package during the movement process, a core package steering clamping member 554 is provided on the inner side of the steering support frame 55342. The core package steering clamping member 554 includes a core package steering clamping push rod 5541 locked on the steering support frame 55342. The lower end of the core package steering clamping push rod 5541 is connected to a steering clamping claw 5542, which presses the core package tightly.

[0044] 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.
