A cleaning mechanism

Abstract

This invention provides a cleaning mechanism, comprising a conveying component and a cleaning device. The cleaning device includes a fixed frame, a sweeping component mounted on the fixed frame, a blowing component, and a suction component. The suction component is located between the sweeping component and the blowing component. The sweeping component includes a cylinder, a mounting bracket mounted on the cylinder, and a long brush fixed on the mounting bracket. In this cleaning mechanism, when a lithium battery is conveyed to the bottom of the cleaning device via the conveying component, the cylinder drives the mounting bracket to move downwards, thereby causing the long brush to block debris and loose dust on the surface of the lithium battery. The blowing component blows air to separate the dust from the lithium battery surface, and the suction component sucks in the dust blown away by the blowing component. When the lithium battery surface separates from the long brush, the long brush carries debris away from the lithium battery. This ensures effective cleaning of the lithium battery surface while improving cleaning efficiency, thereby increasing processing capacity. After cleaning, the lithium battery surface can be labeled, effectively preventing label bubbling.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] On automated lithium battery production lines, after the battery cells are packaged, insulating blue film, anti-counterfeiting labels, or various warning signs must be affixed to their surfaces. The flatness, adhesion, and long-term reliability of these labels directly depend on the cleanliness of the cell's outer casing. If dust, metal shavings, oil, or an oxide layer remains on the surface, quality defects such as label peeling, bubbles, wrinkles, or even complete batch detachment often occur, leading to insulation failure, missing traceability information, or customer complaints. Currently, after lithium batteries are produced, the surface is typically wiped manually before labeling. However, manual labor can lead to fatigue and reduced efficiency, thus decreasing processing capacity.

[0003] Therefore, a cleaning system is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0032] This utility model provides a cleaning mechanism, including a conveying assembly 11 for conveying lithium batteries and a cleaning device 12 located above the conveying assembly 11 for cleaning lithium batteries. The cleaning device 12 includes a fixed frame 121 with its two ends respectively located on both sides of the conveying assembly 11, a sweeping assembly 122 mounted on one side of the fixed frame 121 for sweeping dust from the surface of the lithium batteries, a blowing assembly 123 located on the other side of the fixed frame 121 for blowing dust from the surface of the lithium batteries, and a suction assembly 125 located on the other side of the fixed frame 121 and between the sweeping assembly 122 and the blowing assembly 123. The air outlet of the air assembly 123 is inclined toward the suction assembly 125. The cleaning assembly 122 includes a cylinder 1221 mounted on the fixed frame 121, a mounting bracket 1222 mounted on the cylinder 1221, and a long brush 1223 fixed on the mounting bracket 1222. The long brush 1223 is perpendicular to the direction of the conveying assembly 11. The conveying assembly 11 is used to convey the lithium battery toward the cleaning device 12. The cleaning device 12 is used to clean large particles of debris and dust on the surface of the lithium battery. The cleaning assembly 122 is used to sweep away large particles of debris on the surface of the lithium battery. The air blowing assembly 123 is also included. 23 is used to blow away dust from the surface of the lithium battery, and the suction assembly 125 is used to suck up the dust blown by the blowing assembly 123 to prevent the blown dust from falling back onto the surface of the lithium battery. When cleaning the lithium battery, the conveying assembly 11 transports the lithium battery toward the cleaning device 12. The cylinder 1221 drives the mounting bracket 1222 to move downward. When the mounting bracket 1222 moves downward, it drives the long brush 1223 to move downward. At the same time, the blowing assembly 123 also blows air toward the direction of lithium battery feeding, and the suction assembly 123 also sucks air at the same time. When the lithium battery passes by the long brush 1223, the long brush 1223 resists... The cleaning device 12 removes large particles of debris from the lithium battery, preventing them from moving with the battery. Simultaneously, the blower assembly 123 blows air onto the cleaned surface of the lithium battery, removing dust. The suction assembly 125 also sucks in the blown-up dust, preventing it from falling back onto the cleaned lithium battery. As the lithium battery passes through the cleaning device 12, the long brush 1223 sweeps off the large particles of debris, thus completing the surface cleaning of the lithium battery. This reduces manual operation, avoids prolonged manual work that could reduce processing efficiency, and effectively improves processing capacity.

[0033] The mounting bracket 1222 is also provided with a dust-proof cover plate 1224. One side of the cover plate 1224 is fixed to the mounting bracket 1222, and the other side of the cover plate 1224 extends away from the fixed bracket 121. The other side of the cover plate 1224 is inclined towards the conveying assembly 11. The cover plate 1224 is used to block the dust blown by the blowing assembly 123, which can effectively prevent the dust from drifting upwards to the cleaning assembly 122 and reduce dust drift.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a perspective view of the blowing assembly of the cleaning mechanism of this utility model. The blowing assembly 123 includes an extension plate 1231 symmetrically mounted on a fixed frame 121, an extension column 1232 connected to the extension plate 1231 and located away from the fixed frame 121, and an ionizing rod 1233 mounted on the extension column 1232. The extension plate 1231 is used to extend the distance between the ionizing rod 1233 and the cleaning assembly 122, so as to facilitate the installation of the suction assembly 125 between the blowing assembly 123 and the cleaning assembly 122. The extension column 1232 is used to mount the ionizing rod 1233. At the same time, the extension column 1232 is used to reduce the distance between the ionizing rod 1233 and the lithium battery, so that the wind blown by the ionizing rod 1233 can remove dust from the lithium battery. The wind blown by the ionizing rod 1233 can also eliminate static electricity on the lithium battery, preventing dust from re-adhering to the lithium battery.

[0035] The ion fan bar 1233 is adjustablely connected to the extension column 1232. The ion fan bar 1233 is provided with a first connector 1235, and the extension column 1232 is provided with a second connector 1234. The first connector 1235 and the second connector 1234 are fixed by screws. The first connector 1235 is used to fix with the second connector 1234. The angle of the first connector 1235 connected to the second connector 1234 can be adjusted by screws, so as to adjust the blowing angle of the ion fan bar 1233 for cleaning lithium batteries of different specifications.

[0036] The top of the ion air bar 1233 is also provided with a through groove 1236. The first connector 1235 is adjustablely connected in the through groove 1236 to adjust the position of the first connector 1235 installed on the ion air bar 1233, so as to adjust the ion air bar 1233 to clean the surface of the lithium battery from different positions.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a perspective view of the suction assembly of the cleaning mechanism of this utility model. The suction assembly 125 includes a suction head 1251 and third connectors 1252 installed on both sides of the suction head 1251. The third connectors 1252 are installed on the extension plate 1231. The suction head 1251 is used for suction to pick up the dust blown up by the ion blower 1233. The third connectors 1252 are used to facilitate the installation of the suction head 1251 on the extension plate 1231.

[0038] The third connector 1252 is adjustablely connected to the extension plate 1231. The extension plate 1231 is provided with a strip hole 1237 extending along the length of the extension plate 1231. The third connector 1252 adjusts the position of the suction head 1251 through the strip hole 1237. By adjusting the position of the suction head 1251 to be closer to or further away from the suction assembly 125 and the cleaning assembly 122, it is easier to adjust the position of the suction head 1251 when cleaning lithium batteries of different specifications, making it more convenient to use.

[0039] The third connector 1252 is L-shaped. An arc-shaped hole 1253 is provided on the side of the third connector 1252 near the suction head 1251. The suction angle of the suction head 1251 can be adjusted through the arc-shaped hole 1253. The arc-shaped hole 1253 is used to facilitate the adjustment of the angle of the suction head 1251. When cleaning lithium batteries of different specifications, the best suction effect can be achieved by adjusting the suction angle of the suction head 1251.

[0040] The conveying assembly 11 is also provided with a fixture 111 for placing lithium batteries. The fixture 111 is used to place and fix the lithium batteries to prevent them from shaking during movement.

[0041] The mounting bracket 121 is also equipped with a support and a sensor 124 connected to the support. The sensor 124 is located on the side of the cleaning assembly 122 away from the mounting bracket 1222. The sensor 124 is used to sense whether there is a lithium battery on the transmission assembly 11. If the sensor 124 senses a lithium battery, the cleaning device 12 will start. If no lithium battery is sensed, the cleaning device 12 will be in standby mode.

[0042] Working principle: When cleaning the lithium battery, firstly, the lithium battery is placed on the fixture 111. The conveying assembly 11 moves the fixture 111 towards the cleaning device 12. When the sensor 124 detects the lithium battery, the cleaning assembly 122, the blowing assembly 123, and the blowing assembly 123 are activated simultaneously. The cylinder 1221 of the cleaning assembly 122 drives the mounting bracket 1222 to move downwards. As the mounting bracket 1222 moves, it drives the long brush 1223 to move. When the lithium battery comes into contact with the long brush 1223, the long brush 1223 blocks large particles of debris on the surface of the lithium battery, preventing large particles of debris from moving with the lithium battery. At the same time, during the contact and friction between the lithium battery and the long brush 1223, the dust on the lithium battery can also be loosened. During the movement of the lithium battery, the ion wind of the blowing assembly 123... Ionizing blower 1233 blows air onto the surface of the lithium battery, separating dust from the battery. During this blowing process, the ionizing blower 1233 also eliminates static electricity on the battery surface, preventing dust from re-adhering. Simultaneously, the suction head 1251 draws in the dust blown by the ionizing blower 1233. When the lithium battery separates from the long brush 1223, the long brush 1223 sweeps away large particles of debris from the battery surface, separating the debris from the battery, thus completing the cleaning of the lithium battery surface. This process ensures effective cleaning of the lithium battery surface while improving cleaning efficiency, thereby increasing processing capacity. After cleaning, labels applied to the lithium battery surface are effectively protected from bubbling.

[0043] In this preferred embodiment, when the cleaning mechanism transports the lithium battery to the bottom of the cleaning device via the conveying component, the cylinder drives the mounting bracket to move downwards, thereby driving the long brush to block debris and loose dust on the surface of the lithium battery. The blowing component blows air to separate the dust from the surface of the lithium battery, and the suction component sucks in the dust blown away by the blowing component. When the surface of the lithium battery separates from the long brush, the long brush drives the debris to separate from the lithium battery. This not only ensures effective cleaning of the lithium battery surface but also improves cleaning efficiency, thereby increasing processing capacity. After cleaning, the lithium battery surface can be labeled to effectively prevent the label from bubbling.

[0044] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
