[0060] The frame placement mechanism 6 includes a frame, two sets of parallel annular conveyor belts arranged on the frame, a pulley movably sleeved on the inner ring of the conveyor belt, a rotating shaft fixedly sleeved on the pulley and movably sleeved with the frame, and a motor fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. The structure of the frame placement mechanism 6 is consistent with that of the frame loading mechanism 7, the unloading mechanism 9 and the cover conveying mechanism 5;

[0061] The conveyor belt 2 includes a toothed belt 1 31 and placement grooves 1 32 opened on the outer ring of the toothed belt 1 31 and distributed in sequence along the outer ring.

[0062] Working principle:

[0063] The shell for the frame insertion operation is placed on the loading mechanism 2, the frame assembly 8 for carrying the outer shell is placed on the frame loading mechanism 7, and the protective cover is placed on the cover conveying mechanism 5. Then the loading mechanism 2 conveys and positions the shell, and the frame loading mechanism 7 conveys the frame assembly 8 to the frame insertion operation 1. Then the transfer mechanism 4 clamps and conveys the frame assembly 8 to the top of the frame placement mechanism 6. The frame insertion mechanism 3 is used to clamp and convey the shell to the frame assembly 8 for frame insertion. Thereafter, the transfer mechanism 4 clamps and conveys the protective cover to the top of the frame assembly 8 that completes the frame insertion operation. After the protective cover is installed, the transfer assembly 4 conveys the frame assembly 8 to the unloading mechanism 9. Finally, it is cleaned by the cleaning assembly 10 and dried by the drying assembly 11 to complete the shell loading, conveying, frame insertion, cleaning and drying operations.

[0064] During cleaning, the frame assembly 8 after the frame is inserted into the opening of the box body 21. When the frame assembly 8 enters the interior of the box body 21, the interference rod 84 at the bottom of the bottom plate 81 is inserted into the placement groove 292 at the top of the conveyor belt 29. At the same time, the horizontal positioning rod 85 extends into the positioning groove 293 of the toothed belt 291. During the conveying and cleaning process, the frame assembly 8 is positioned and limited. Then, when the toothed belt 29 transports the frame assembly 8 forward, the plug-in mechanism 1 87 on the mounting plate 86 is adjusted in position by the adjustment mechanism 26 at the bottom, so that the plug-in mechanism 1 87 is docked with the connecting unit 25 on the conversion belt 24. At the same time, the plug-in mechanism 2 93 on the cover plate 9 is docked with the connecting unit 25 on the conversion belt 24.

[0065] During docking, the guide rod 877 extends into the opening of the guide groove 262 of the adjustment plate 261, and then under the action of the guide groove 262, the guide rod 877 moves along the length direction of the sleeve 1 872, and then under the action of the connecting frame 876, the sleeve 2 873 moves along the length direction of the sleeve 1 872. At this time, the extension tube 874 moves to one side of the conversion belt 24, and the perforated cover 875 located at the front end of the extension tube 874 extends from the opening of the insertion groove 251 of the conversion belt 24. At the same time, in order to facilitate docking, when the perforated cover 875 enters the insertion groove 251, the translation plate 871 of the plug-in mechanism 1 87 can slide back and forth along the length direction of the mounting plate 86, so that the extension tube 874 can be fully inserted into the insertion groove 251 for docking, and finally the extension tube 874 extends into the inside of the mounting hole 252 and is sleeved therewith. , the end of the second sleeve 873 conflicts with the inner wall of the extension groove 251, and the perforated cap 875 pushes the top rod 253 to move forward. When the top rod 253 moves forward, the blocking plate 255 on the top rod 253 moves to the side away from the discharge disk 254. At this time, the blocking plate 255 does not block the discharge hole reserved on the discharge disk 254. At this time, the delivery pipe on the feeding mechanism 211 delivers the high-pressure cleaning water delivered from the outside to the inside of the cover shell, and then flows into the perforated cap 875 along the mounting hole 252, and then enters the extension pipe 874 from the connecting hole reserved on the perforated cap 875, and finally enters the inner cavity of the mounting plate 86 along the second sleeve 873 and the first sleeve 872, and then flows into the interior of the spray placement pipe 88, and finally sprays and cleans from the inside of the shell from the spray hole 1 on the spray placement pipe 88;

[0066] Install the protective cover plate in the same manner as above to connect the connecting unit 25 on the upper position of the transfer belt 24 for cleaning. During cleaning, the cleaning water flows along the connected connecting unit 25 into the second plug-in mechanism 93, then into the inner cavity of the cover plate 91, and finally sprays downward from the second spray hole at the bottom of the cover plate 91 to clean the outer side of the top of the shell. After that, the drying assembly 11 is installed in the same manner as the cleaning assembly 10 for drying.

[0067] In order to prevent a large amount of washing water from overflowing during the docking process, the overall length of the housing is greater than the length of the adjustment plate 261, and the width of the blocking blocks at both ends of the housing is greater than the distance between adjacent connecting units 25;

[0068] The invention realizes the loading, framing, cleaning and drying operations of the battery aluminum shell body, and can quickly clamp the battery aluminum shell body and transport it to the frame assembly for framing operation, reducing the difficulty of framing operation for the operator. At the same time, the designed frame assembly and the protective cover plate thereon can, on the one hand, support and place the aluminum shell body when framing, and on the other hand, clean and dry the inside and outside of the shell body during the cleaning and drying process, and cover and restrict the shell body from the top to prevent the shell body from falling off during cleaning and drying; it realizes the continuous cleaning and drying operation of the shell body after framing, with high cleaning and drying efficiency, reducing the difficulty of operation for the operator, and improving the processing efficiency of the battery aluminum shell.

[0069] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
