[0022] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0023] Example

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a cylindrical battery decasing device includes a machine base 4, on which a feeding conveyor mechanism 1 is installed. The feeding conveyor mechanism 1 is connected to a core-shell separation mechanism 3, and the core-shell separation mechanism 3 is equipped with a rolling and cutting mechanism 2. The machine base 4 is used to support the feeding conveyor mechanism 1, the rolling and cutting mechanism 2, and the core-shell separation mechanism 3. The electrical components in the feeding conveyor mechanism 1, the rolling and cutting mechanism 2, and the core-shell separation mechanism 3 are connected to the same external controller, which enables the coordination between the mechanisms. When the device is working, the cylindrical battery is placed in the feeding conveyor mechanism 1, and the feeding conveyor mechanism 1 transports the cylindrical battery one by one to the core-shell separation mechanism 3. The rolling and cutting mechanism 2 cuts the two ends of the cylindrical battery, and the core-shell separation mechanism 3 separates the casing from the core.

[0025] The feeding and conveying mechanism 1 includes a mounting frame mounted on the machine base 4. A feeding box 5 is mounted on the mounting frame, and a feeding disc 6 is rotatably mounted on the feeding box 5. The feeding disc 6 is connected to the output end of a feeding motor 7. The feeding disc 6 adopts a hexagonal prism structure for easy and rapid battery feeding. The feeding motor 7 is mounted on the feeding box 5. A pushing cylinder I 8 is mounted on one side of the bottom guide groove of the feeding box 5. The size of the feeding box 5 above the bottom guide groove is narrowed, allowing only one cylindrical battery to pass through at a time. The output end of the pushing cylinder I 8 is connected to a pushing plate I, which is located at the bottom of the feeding box 5. Inside the guide groove, the pusher plate I can move along the bottom guide groove of the loading box 5. The cylindrical batteries can be neatly arranged and pushed forward by the pusher cylinder I8 in conjunction with the pusher plate I. A battery conveyor line 11 is installed on one side of the mounting frame. The battery conveyor line 11 adopts an existing conveyor belt assembly, such as a belt drive assembly (not described in detail here). One end of the battery conveyor line 11 corresponds to the position of the bottom guide groove of the loading box 5. The other end of the battery conveyor line 11 is equipped with pusher cylinder II 9 and pusher cylinder III 10. The output ends of pusher cylinder II 9 and pusher cylinder III 10 are both connected to pusher plate II.

[0026] In operation, cylindrical batteries are manually placed into the loading box 5. Driven by the loading motor 7, the feeding disc 6 stirs the cylindrical batteries in the loading box 5 counterclockwise, causing them to fall along the inclined plate of the loading box 5 and onto the top of the pushing cylinder I8. After the battery production of the subsequent process is completed, the pushing cylinder I8 retracts, causing the cylindrical batteries above to roll into the guide groove at the bottom of the loading box 5. The pushing cylinder I8 pushes out the pushing plate I, causing the cylindrical batteries that have fallen into the guide groove at the bottom of the loading box 5 to move forward, thereby pushing the cylindrical batteries in front into the battery conveyor line 11. At the same time, the pushing cylinder I8, in conjunction with the pushing plate I, can prevent the cylindrical batteries in the loading box 5 from continuing to roll down. The battery conveyor line 11 transports the cylindrical batteries to the front of the pushing cylinder II9 at its end. The pushing cylinder II9 pushes forward, pushing the cylindrical batteries to the front of the pushing cylinder III10. The pushing cylinder III10 extends, pushing the cylindrical batteries to the shell-core separation mechanism 3 and the rolling and shell-cutting mechanism 2.

[0027] The rolling and shell cutting mechanism 2 includes a rolling and cutting motor 12, which is mounted on a motor mounting plate 14. One end of the motor mounting plate 14 is connected to a drive shaft I 16, which is connected to a bearing 15. The other end is rotatably connected to a drive shaft II 18. Both the output ends of the drive shaft II 18 and the rolling and cutting motor 12 are connected to pulleys. A belt 13 is tensioned between the two pulleys. The output end of a pressing cylinder 19 is hinged to the middle of the bottom surface of the motor mounting plate 14. The bottom of the pressing cylinder 19 is hinged to the machine base 4. The bearing 15 is mounted on the machine base 4 through the rolling and cutting frame 20.

[0028] The shell-core separation mechanism 3 includes an adjusting cylinder 21, the output end of which is connected to an adjusting slider 24. The adjusting cylinder 21 is mounted on an adjusting seat 27. The adjusting seat 27 has sliding holes on both sides. The end of the adjusting slider 24 is rotatably connected to an adjusting roller 22 through a bearing. The adjusting roller 22 and the adjusting slider 24 are slidably mounted inside the sliding hole. A fixed roller 23 is provided on one side of the adjusting roller 22. The fixed roller 23 is rotatably mounted on the adjusting seat 27 through a bearing. The adjusting seat 27 is mounted on an adjusting frame 36. The adjusting frame 36 is mounted on the machine base 4.

[0029] In use, the cylindrical battery is pushed by the pushing cylinder III10 into the gap between the adjusting roller 22 and the fixed roller 23 in the shell-core separation mechanism 3. Since the adjusting roller 22 and the fixed roller 23 are mounted on bearings, the cylindrical battery can roll on them. At this time, the rolling cutting motor 12 in the rolling cutting mechanism 2 rotates at high speed, and the rolling cutting blade 17 and the transmission shaft II18 also rotate at high speed under the transmission of the belt 13. The transmission shaft I16 is mounted on the bearing 15. The pressing cylinder 19 retracts and drives the motor mounting plate 14 to rotate counterclockwise around the transmission shaft I16 until the rolling cutting blade 17 contacts the cylindrical battery and rolls and cuts open the end caps at both ends. After the cylindrical battery is rolled and cut, the pressing cylinder 19 extends and drives the motor mounting plate 14 to rotate clockwise around the transmission shaft I16 until the rolling cutting blade 17 leaves the surface of the cylindrical battery to a safe area, and the rolling cutting motor 12 stops working.

[0030] A clamping cylinder mounting base 41 is provided on the front side of the adjusting seat 27. The clamping cylinder mounting base 41 is mounted on the adjusting frame 36. A clamping cylinder 29 is mounted on the clamping cylinder mounting base 41. The output end of the clamping cylinder 29 is connected to the battery clamping block 30. A battery fixing block 37 is provided below the battery clamping block 30. Both the battery fixing block 37 and the battery clamping block 30 have arc-shaped grooves. The battery fixing block 37 is mounted on the output end of the battery displacement cylinder 38. The bottom of the battery displacement cylinder 38 is connected to a sliding seat 42. The sliding seat 42 is slidably connected to a sliding rail 43. The sliding rail 43 is mounted on the adjusting frame 36. The sliding seat 42 is connected to a moving cylinder 26. The moving cylinder 26 is mounted on the adjusting frame 36. The clamping cylinder mounting base 41 has fixing plates 25 installed on both sides. The top of the fixing plates 25 is installed on the adjusting frame 36. The fixing plates 25 are equipped with suction cylinders 31. The output end of the suction cylinders 31 is connected to the suction cup 35. One of the fixing plates 25 is equipped with a core-pushing cylinder 28. The other fixing plate 25 has a discharge hole. Below the discharge hole is a core-winding slide 33. The core-winding slide 33 is connected to the adjusting frame 36. The bottom of the clamping cylinder mounting base 41 is equipped with a shell-peeling cylinder 40. The output end of the shell-peeling cylinder 40 is connected to a peeling plate 39. One end of the slide 25 is fixed on the fixing plate 25. Below the other end of the slide 25 is a receiving box 34. The receiving box 34 is movably installed on the adjusting frame 36.

[0031] In use, the retracting cylinder 26 moves the battery displacement cylinder 38 directly below the cylindrical battery after it has been rolled. The retracting cylinder 21 moves the adjusting roller 22 to the right, causing the cylindrical battery to fall into the groove of the battery fixing block 37 connected to the battery displacement cylinder 38. The extending cylinder 26 moves the battery displacement cylinder 38 to the left, moving it to the peeling station. The extending cylinder 38 moves the cylindrical battery upward and tightly against the battery pressing block 30 connected to the pressing cylinder 29. The peeling plate 39, driven by the peeling cylinder 40, inserts into the cutting grooves of the end caps of the cylindrical battery to peel off the end caps. At the same time, the two suction cups 35 are pushed out by the suction cylinder 31. Driven by the suction cylinder 31, the two suction cups 35 adsorb the left and right end caps of the cylindrical battery respectively. The suction cylinder 31 retracts, and the two suction cups 35 release the end caps and let them roll down the slide plate 25 into the receiving box 34. The battery displacement cylinder 38 retracts, causing the cylindrical battery to move down to the core ejection station. At the same time, the pressing cylinder 29 extends to keep the battery pressing block 30 in close contact with the cylindrical battery. The core pushing cylinder 28 extends to push the core inside the cylindrical battery to the core slide plate 33, thus completing the removal of the cylindrical battery casing. The remaining casing is pushed to the core slide plate 33 by the battery displacement cylinder 38 after the battery pressing block 30 is released, and then sorted and separated later.

[0032] It should be noted that, in use, this cylindrical battery unpacking device involves manually placing the cylindrical batteries into the loading box 5. Driven by the loading motor 7, the feeding disc 6 agitates the cylindrical batteries in the loading box 5 counterclockwise, causing them to fall along the inclined plate of the loading box 5 above the pushing cylinder I8. After the subsequent battery production process is completed, the pushing cylinder I8 retracts, causing the cylindrical batteries above to roll into the guide groove at the bottom of the loading box 5. The pushing cylinder I8 then pushes out the pushing plate I, causing the cylindrical batteries that have fallen into the guide groove at the bottom of the loading box 5 to move forward, thereby pushing the preceding cylindrical batteries into the battery conveyor line 11. Simultaneously, the pushing cylinder I8, in conjunction with the pushing plate I, can prevent the cylindrical batteries in the loading box 5 from continuing to roll down. The battery conveyor line 11 transports the cylindrical batteries to... Directly in front of the pusher cylinder II9 at its end, the pusher cylinder II9 pushes forward, pushing the cylindrical battery to the front of the pusher cylinder III10. The pusher cylinder III10 extends, pushing the cylindrical battery into the gap between the adjusting roller 22 and the fixed roller 23. Since the adjusting roller 22 and the fixed roller 23 are mounted on bearings, the cylindrical battery can roll on them. At this time, the rolling cutting motor 12 in the rolling and cutting mechanism 2 rotates at high speed, and the rolling cutter 17 and the drive shaft II18 also rotate at high speed under the drive of the belt 13. The drive shaft I16 is mounted on the bearing 15. The pressing cylinder 19 retracts, driving the motor mounting plate 14 to rotate counterclockwise around the drive shaft I16 until the rolling cutter 17 contacts the cylindrical battery and rolls and cuts open its two end caps. The cylindrical battery is then... After the rolling cut is completed, the pressing cylinder 19 extends and drives the motor mounting plate 14 to rotate clockwise around the drive shaft I 16 until the rolling cutter 17 leaves the surface of the cylindrical battery and reaches a safe area, at which point the rolling motor 12 stops working; the moving cylinder 26 retracts and drives the battery displacement cylinder 38 to move directly below the rolled cylindrical battery; the adjusting cylinder 21 retracts and drives the adjusting roller 22 to move to the right, causing the cylindrical battery to fall into the groove of the battery fixing block 37 connected to the battery displacement cylinder 38; the moving cylinder 26 extends and drives the battery displacement cylinder 38 to move to the left to the peeling station; the battery displacement cylinder 38 extends and moves the cylindrical battery upward and tightly against the battery pressing block 30 connected to the pressing cylinder 29; the peeling plate 39 is inserted into the two sides of the cylindrical battery under the action of the peeling cylinder 40. The end caps are peeled off in the cutting groove of the end caps. At the same time, the two suction cups 35, driven by the push of the suction cylinder 31, respectively pick up the left and right end caps of the cylindrical battery. The suction cylinder 31 retracts, and the two suction cups 35 release the end caps and let them roll down along the slide 25 into the receiving box 34. The battery displacement cylinder 38 retracts, moving the cylindrical battery down to the core ejection station. At the same time, the pressing cylinder 29 extends to keep the battery pressing block 30 in close contact with the cylindrical battery. The core pushing cylinder 28 extends to push the core inside the cylindrical battery to the core slide 33, thus completing the removal of the cylindrical battery shell. The remaining shell, after the battery pressing block 30 is released, is pushed upward by the battery displacement cylinder 38 to the core slide 33 by the core pushing cylinder 28, and then sorted and separated later.

[0033] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
