DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inside", "all around" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] Embodiment 1

[0030] See also Figure 1 As shown, the present invention is a battery spray cleaning and drying device, including a conveyor line 1, a shell connected to the conveyor line, and the interior of the shell is divided into a cleaning section and a drying section. The shell is not shown in the figure. The conveyor line 1 conveys the battery 6 through the shell and passes through the cleaning section and the drying section in sequence.

[0031] The cleaning section includes a first spray mechanism 2, a first cleaning mechanism 3, a reversing mechanism, a second spray mechanism 4 and a second cleaning mechanism 5 which are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 1. The second cleaning mechanism 5 has the same structure as the first cleaning mechanism 3. The first cleaning mechanism 3 includes two brush wheels 306, which are used to drive the two brush wheels 306 to clean the two opposite sides of the battery 6 respectively through a driving device, and the battery is switched between longitudinal conveying and transverse conveying through a reversing mechanism, and the second cleaning mechanism 5 is used to clean the other two opposite sides of the battery.

[0032] Specifically, Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the battery 6 is transported horizontally and is sprayed and cleaned by the first spray mechanism 2. When it moves to the position of the first cleaning mechanism 3, the two brush wheels 306 rotate to clean the side surfaces of the two end faces of the battery 6.

[0033] After the battery 6 moves through the first cleaning mechanism 3, the reversing mechanism converts the battery 6 from horizontal conveyance to longitudinal conveyance. When passing through the second spraying mechanism 4, the battery 6 is sprayed again by the second spraying mechanism 4 to prevent the debris or foreign matter generated when the two brush wheels 306 of the first cleaning mechanism 3 clean the battery 6 from adhering to the side wall of the battery 6. The other two sides of the battery 6 are then cleaned by the two brush wheels 306 on the second cleaning mechanism 5, thereby completing the cleaning of the four sides of the battery 6.

[0034] At the same time, if Figure 2As shown, the cleaning direction of the brush wheel 306 on the surface of the battery 6 is opposite to the moving direction of the battery 6, which is conducive to improving the cleaning effect of the brush wheel 306 on the battery 6. In addition, the cleaning section also includes a third spray mechanism 201, and the third spray mechanism 201 is located between the second cleaning mechanism 5 and the drying section, so that after the battery 6 is cleaned by the second cleaning mechanism 5, the third spray mechanism 201 sprays the battery 6, thereby ensuring that the surface of the battery 6 is clean.

[0035] The cleaning section also includes a bottom spray mechanism, which can be located below the third spray mechanism 201. The nozzle of the bottom spray mechanism is located below the conveyor line 1. The conveyor line 1 can be a roller conveyor line. The nozzle sprays upward through the gap between the rollers to spray and clean the bottom surface of the battery 6, thereby further improving the thoroughness of the cleaning of the battery 6 and further improving the cleaning effect of the battery 6.

[0036] After being sprayed and cleaned by the third spray mechanism 201, the battery 6 is conveyed into the drying section through the conveyor line 1. The drying section includes a high-pressure fan 7 and a plurality of wind knives 701. The wind knife 701 can be a combination of two pairs of standard wind knives, which are used to blow out the dry hot air from the wind knife 701 through the high-pressure fan 7 to achieve blowing and drying of the battery 6, thereby completing the spray cleaning and drying operations of the battery 6.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] Based on the first embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the first cleaning mechanism 3 includes a fixed frame 301 and a fixed plate 302 connected to one side of the fixed frame 301. The fixed frame 301 is formed by connecting aluminum alloy profiles, the fixed plate 302 is rotatably connected to a horizontally arranged screw rod 303 through a bearing seat, and has two mounting plates 304 that slide through a guide rail slider mechanism, and both mounting plates 304 are fixedly connected to a screw nut that matches the screw rod 303.

[0039] The two mounting plates 304 are both fixedly connected to the motor 305, and the brush wheel 306 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 305, which is used to drive the brush wheel 306 to rotate through the motor 305. A handwheel or a servo motor can be connected to one end of the screw rod 303. By rotating the screw rod 303, the distance between the two mounting plates 304 can be adjusted, and then the distance between the two brush wheels 306 can be adjusted according to the size of the battery 6 or the conveying position thereof.

[0040] For example, when the battery 6 is transported horizontally, the spacing between the two brush wheels 306 in the first cleaning mechanism 3 is adjusted to adapt to the length of the battery 6. When the battery 6 is converted to longitudinal transportation, the spacing between the two brush wheels 306 in the second cleaning mechanism 5 is adjusted to adapt to the width of the battery 6, thereby better cleaning the battery 6.

[0041] At the same time, the fixed frame 301 is rotatably connected to a vertically arranged lead screw 307 through a bearing seat, and the fixed plate 302 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 301 through a guide rail slider mechanism, and is fixedly connected to a lead screw nut that cooperates with the lead screw 307.

[0042] A hand wheel is installed at the upper end of the lead screw 307. By rotating the lead screw 307, the upper and lower positions of the fixing plate 302 are adjusted, thereby driving the mounting plate 304 to move as a whole, and adjusting the upper and lower positions of the brush wheel 306, so as to facilitate cleaning of batteries 6 at different heights. In addition, when the device needs to be repaired, the brush wheel 306 can be raised to reduce obstacles to the repair personnel, thereby facilitating the repair personnel to perform internal repairs.

[0043] Embodiment 3

[0044] On the basis of Example 1 or Example 2, Figure 4 As shown, the first spray mechanism 2 includes a Π-shaped bracket 202 spanning the conveyor line; connecting plates 203 are fixedly connected on both sides of the Π-shaped bracket 202, and the opposite sides of the connecting plate 203 are provided with downwardly inclined inclined plates 204, and the inclined plate 204 is provided with two to four mounting holes 205 for installing the nozzle. By installing the nozzle on the inclined plate 204, the nozzle can better spray and clean the battery 6 when the battery 6 passes through the Π-shaped bracket 202.

[0045] In addition, a downwardly disposed end plate 206 is disposed at the end of the connecting plate 203, and the end plate 206 is provided with two to four mounting holes 205. Among them, the Π-shaped bracket 202, the connecting plate 203 and the end plate 206 can be an integrated structure, formed by stamping and bending a plate, or by welding a plurality of plates to each other.

[0046] By installing a nozzle on the end plate 206, the front and rear positions of the battery 6 in the moving direction can be fully sprayed and cleaned, ensuring that all sides of the battery 6 can be fully sprayed, making the battery 6 cleaned more thoroughly, thereby improving the spray cleaning effect of the battery 6.
