[0002] Cell recycling is a crucial part of lithium battery manufacturing. In the recycling process of cylindrical lithium batteries, it is necessary to accurately and quickly remove the insulating film from the surface of the cell casing (steel or aluminum).

[0003] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1 The typical process for removing the film from a cylindrical battery involves the following steps in sequence: a) feeding and buffering, b) tracing and laser cutting, c) film rolling, d) film removal, and e) NG process.

[0004] Among them, the existing material feeding and buffering process a still has the following defects in actual working conditions:

[0005] Controlling the production cycle time of a full-process production line is difficult and can easily lead to production line instability, or even require frequent shutdowns for maintenance. There is a lack of linkage and production cycle time control mechanism between upstream and downstream processes. When downstream processes encounter problems such as material jams or non-compliance, the upstream feeding process continues to feed materials, which can easily lead to equipment failure or product scrap, seriously affecting production efficiency.

[0031] Please also refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a feeding and buffering process for a cylindrical battery stripping device, including a feeding station 1 and a buffering station 2 arranged sequentially along the conveyor belt;

[0032] The loading station 1 is equipped with a loading rack 11, a loading lifting motor 12 and a suction assembly;

[0033] The feeding and lifting motor 12 is located below the feeding frame 11. The feeding frame 11 and the suction assembly are respectively located on both sides of the front end of the conveyor belt. A material box 111 is vertically slidably installed on the feeding frame 11. The material box 111 is placed on the feeding frame 11 by manual replacement. The material box 111 can be gradually lifted by the feeding and lifting motor 12. Several rows and columns of cylindrical batteries to be processed can be placed in the material box 111.

[0034] The material suction assembly includes a material suction cylinder 131 mounted on a slide table, a material suction slide plate 132 driven by the material suction cylinder 131, a magnetic material suction head 133 mounted at the end of the material suction slide plate 132, and a limiting plate 134 fixed on the slide table and sleeved around the magnetic material suction head 133. The limiting plate 134 and the material box 111 are located on both sides of the conveyor belt. The limiting plate 134 is provided with a limiting groove for the magnetic material suction head 133 to pass through. The width of the limiting groove is smaller than the outer diameter of the cylindrical battery.

[0035] The working principle or process of loading station 1 is as follows:

[0036] The manual staff places the battery-filled box 111 onto the rack. The feeding lifting motor 12 lifts the box 111, aligning all the batteries in the first row horizontally with the magnetic suction head 133. The suction cylinder 131 drives the suction slide plate 132, which in turn extends the magnetic suction head 133, which then attracts all the batteries in the first row of the box 111. When the suction cylinder 131 retracts the magnetic suction head 133, all the batteries in the first row of the box 111 are horizontally pulled out of the box 111 and are then stopped by the limiting plate 134. The magnetic suction head 133 retracts from the limiting groove of the limiting plate 134, while the batteries are stopped by the limiting plate 134. This causes the first row of batteries pulled out of the box 111 to fall side by side onto the conveyor belt and be transported to the buffer station 2. After the first row of batteries is processed, the feeding lifting motor 12 lifts the material box 111 again, so that all the batteries in the second row are lifted and aligned horizontally with the magnetic suction head 133. The suction component repeats the above suction action to transport the second row of batteries to the next process until the batteries in the material box 111 are processed. Then the material box 111 is replaced manually.

[0037] Buffer station 2 is equipped with buffer box 21, buffer cylinder 22 and buffer sensor (not shown in the figure);

[0038] The buffer box 21 is open-type, with its inner side connected to the conveyor belt. The outer side of the buffer box 21 has a buffer discharge port for outputting one battery at a time. The top of the buffer box 21 is provided with a triangular contour block 23, which has a concave arc surface for guiding the batteries. The buffer box 21 has a receiving cavity for multiple batteries to fall into. The batteries conveyed from the conveyor belt fall into the buffer box 21 in sequence under the guidance of the contour block 23.

[0039] The buffer cylinder 22 is located inside the buffer box 21, and the output end of the buffer cylinder 22 is aligned with the bottom battery in the buffer box 21, so that when the output end of the buffer cylinder 22 extends, it can push the battery out from the buffer discharge port onto the conveyor belt of the next process.

[0040] The buffer sensor is installed on the side plate of the buffer box 21 and is aligned with the bottom battery inside the buffer box 21. The buffer sensor is used to detect the presence of batteries and receive signals from the subsequent process. It is linked with the buffer cylinder 22. When the subsequent process reports that there are no NG, no jamming, or no fault in the relevant equipment, the buffer cylinder 22 extends and pushes the batteries one by one out of the buffer box 21 onto the conveyor belt of the next process. This ensures that the feeding and buffering process a is linked with the subsequent process at a controllable pace, ensuring the controllability and stability of the entire production process.

[0041] Compared to existing technologies, the feeding and buffering processes of the cylindrical battery stripping equipment in this case effectively control the production cycle and ensure stable and efficient production by setting up buffer boxes and buffer sensors to link with subsequent processes.

[0042] 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 the 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.
