New energy battery assembly and disassembly pictures

How do you disassemble a battery pack?

To conduct the operations, destructive disassembly has been a prevailing practice. The disassembly phase of the battery pack includes cutting cable ties, cutting cooling pipes, and cutting bonded battery modules and the battery bottom cover for separation .

How can automated disassembly be introduced in the future?

Once the production of batteries has increased, automated disassembly can be introduced in the future. For this to be possible, it is important to consider the design of the battery and to make sure it has a minimized amount of materials and parts, in addition to suitable joining techniques.

How a battery design is developed?

The design solutions are assessed from an assembly, disassembly and modularity point of view to establish what solutions are of interest. Based on the evaluation, an “ideal” battery is developed with focus on the hardware, hence the housing, attachment of modules and wires, thermal system and battery management box.

Can EV Lib disassembly be automated?

To address this issue, Hellmuth et al. introduced a method for the automated assessment of EV LIB disassembly. The method comprises two evaluation categories, where the first pertains to the feasibility of automating disassembly operations, and the second focuses on determining the necessity of automation.

How a battery can be modularised?

A battery has several ways to implement modularisation and among these are design of the housing and module as well as concerning the management of its environment.

How are battery housings assembled?

All battery housings are assembled using screws which is beneficial for the disassembly since it is possible to remove the lid without damaging it. However, a large amount of screws is needed, making it a time-consuming activity and an increased number of parts results in longer lead times as well as higher material usage.
