A Virtual Robotic Disassembly System for Retired Power Battery Pack
摘要
Taking the intelligent disassembly of retired power battery pack as the research object, a virtual robotic disassembly system is constructed. The system consists of a multi-robot collaborative disassembly workstation built based on ABB’s virtual simulation platform-RobotStudio and external programs connected through its secondary development interface. In the workstation, robots are configured at the appropriate stations according to the disassembly process, and a variety of end-effector actuators are designed according to the characteristics of different disassembly targets. The motion of the peripheral devices is simulated by the Smart component, and the communication between the Smart component and the robot is realized by the workstation I/O signals and logic. The workstation is triggered by external signals through the secondary development interface, and the simulation of removing the screws, gripping the housing cover, and retrieving the battery module is completed by combining the functions of online path planning and adaptive and flexible gripping, so as to realize the flexible and collaborative battery pack disassembly operation and effectively improve the efficiency of the disassembly process. The system effectively improves the disassembly automation level and the disassembly efficiency of retired power battery packs, which is of certain significance for the development of intelligent disassembly equipment for retired power battery packs.
