The invention relates to equipment and a method for detaching a waste television. The structure of the equipment comprises a cargo conveying device, a detaching operation platform, a television picture tube screen cone cutting separating machine and a matched industrial dust-collection processing device. The equipment and the method have the advantages that (1) an optimized layout that a complete machine and parts are detached and then intensively conveyed is realized, the logistics efficiency is increased, the labor intensity is reduced, meanwhile, purposes of harmlessly detaching electronic products of various types and standards are achieved, the safety is high, and the comprehensive resource reutilization of various materials of the waste television with a picture tube is further realized; (2) the field operation is ordered, and the potential safety hazards are eliminated; (3) by utilizing a dust hood arranged at each station, the dust generated in the detaching process of the television can be effectively processed; (4) the problems of local congestion, even full-line production stop and the like are avoided; (5) the drifting of fluorescent powder in an adsorption process is reduced; (6) the equipment is convenient to mount and implement and easy to maintain and is low in cost.
