Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of conveying equipment technology, specifically to a belt dust collector and conveying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In battery production, conveyor belts are used on automated equipment such as cutting and stacking machines and thermal laminating machines. During material transport, dust or surface substances can adhere to the belt surface, and severe accumulation can affect the detection accuracy of visual inspection instruments. Furthermore, dirt and grime from the belt may fall into the materials, potentially posing a fire or explosion risk to the batteries.

[0003] In addition, taking the material being transported as an electrode as an example, the dust accumulated on the belt can easily cause gaps between the electrode and the belt, leading to air leakage, or the belt may be too smooth, which is not conducive to the transport of the electrode, thus affecting the belt's adsorption force on the electrode. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a belt dust removal device and conveying equipment to solve the problem that dirt and dust on the belt can easily affect material conveying and even pose safety risks.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a belt dust collector, comprising:

[0006] The belt rotates back and forth in the first direction;

[0007] A cleaning component is in contact with the outer surface of the belt. The cleaning component includes a one-way self-locking mechanism so that the cleaning component has a first state of remaining stationary under the rotation of the belt and a second state of freely rotating under external force, and the direction of free rotation of the cleaning component is the same as the first direction.

[0008] The cleaning component has a cleaning layer on its outer periphery.

[0009] Beneficial Effects: The belt dust removal device provided by this invention, by incorporating a one-way self-locking mechanism within the cleaning component, allows the cleaning component to exist in a first state where it remains stationary under the rotation of the belt, and a second state where it can freely rotate under external force. The direction of free rotation of the cleaning component is the same as the first direction. Thus, when the belt rotates, the cleaning component is in a locked state where it does not rotate, ensuring that the cleaning layer on the outer periphery of the cleaning component remains in contact with the rotating belt at a fixed position. This achieves wiping and cleaning of the belt's outer surface while preventing other parts of the cleaning layer from contacting the belt, thereby preventing dirt accumulation on other parts of the cleaning layer and maximizing the cleaning effect at the contact point with the belt. After a single cleaning cycle, the cleaning component can be rotated at a certain angle by external force, allowing the clean area of ​​the cleaning layer to contact the outer surface of the belt, facilitating further cleaning. This eliminates the need to disassemble and replace the entire cleaning layer after each cleaning cycle, improving cleaning efficiency by changing the cleaning position.

[0010] Secondly, the present invention also provides a conveying device, including the belt dust collector as described above.

[0011] Since the conveyor equipment includes a belt dust collector, which has the same effect as the belt dust collector, it will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0026] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0027] In battery production, conveyor belts are used on automated equipment such as slitting and stacking machines and thermal laminating machines. During material transport, dust or surface substances from the materials can adhere to the belt surface, and severe accumulation can affect the detection accuracy of visual inspection instruments. Secondly, dirt on the belt may fall into the materials, potentially leading to a fire or explosion risk in the battery. Furthermore, taking electrode sheets as an example, accumulated dust on the belt can cause gaps between the electrode and the belt, leading to air leakage, or the belt may be too smooth, hindering electrode transport and affecting the belt's adhesion to the electrode. Although the belt can be cleaned periodically with a manual brush, the cleaning effect is poor and cannot meet the requirements.

[0028] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, a belt dust collector is provided, comprising:

[0030] Belt 11 reciprocates in the first direction;

[0031] The cleaning component 3 is in contact with the outer surface of the belt 11. The cleaning component 3 includes a one-way self-locking mechanism so that the cleaning component 3 has a first state of remaining stationary under the rotation of the belt 11 and a second state of freely rotating under external force, and the direction of free rotation of the cleaning component 3 is the same as the first direction.

[0032] A cleaning layer 33 is provided on the outer periphery of the cleaning component 3.

[0033] The belt dust collector includes a belt assembly 1, which specifically includes a belt 11 connected end to end; the belt assembly 1 also includes a roller 12, which contacts the belt 11 and is adapted to tension the belt 11 and drive the belt 11 to rotate; the belt assembly 1 also includes a rotation drive 13, which is adapted to drive the roller 12 to rotate.

[0034] The outer periphery of the cleaning component 3 is provided with a cleaning layer 33. By bringing the cleaning component 3 into contact with the outer surface of the belt 11, the outer surface of the belt 11 can be wiped and cleaned to remove dust or other adhering substances from the surface of the belt 11.

[0035] The cleaning component 3 includes a one-way self-locking mechanism, which can lock the rotation direction of the cleaning component 3, so that the cleaning component 3 can only rotate in one direction.

[0036] Specifically, the cleaning component 3 has a first state in which it remains stationary under the rotation of the belt 11, and a second state in which it rotates freely under external force, and the direction of free rotation of the cleaning component 3 is the same as the first direction. Figure 4 As shown, when the belt 11 rotates around the first direction, the cleaning component 3 is in a locked state where it does not rotate. That is, the cleaning layer 33 on the outer periphery of the cleaning component 3 maintains contact with the rotating belt 11 at a fixed position to wipe and clean the outer surface of the belt 11. At the same time, it prevents other positions of the cleaning layer 33 from contacting the belt 11, thereby preventing dirt from appearing on other positions of the cleaning layer 33 and maximizing the cleaning effect at the position in contact with the belt 11. After a single cleaning is completed, combined with... Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning component 3 can be rotated around the first direction by external force, so that the cleaning component 3 rotates through a certain angle, so that the clean area of ​​the cleaning layer 33 comes into contact with the outer surface of the belt 11, making it convenient to clean again.

[0037] It should be noted that the second state is the state during the free rotation of the cleaning component 3, not the state in which the cleaning component 3 is stationary after free rotation.

[0038] Furthermore, once all areas of the cleaning layer 33 are dirty, the cleaning layer 33 can be replaced to maximize the number of times the cleaning layer 33 can be used.

[0039] Optionally, the cleaning layer 33 can be a lint-free cloth, and the outer periphery of the cleaning component 3 can be wrapped with three to five layers of lint-free cloth at a time.

[0040] Optionally, the cleaning component 3 can be disposed above or below the belt 11.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 3 is disposed below the belt 11. By installing the cleaning component 3 below the belt 11, the dust or dirt cleaned off will not fall into the conveying equipment such as a vacuum chamber, thus avoiding affecting the operation of the conveying equipment; and when the cleaning component 3 rotates freely, the dust accumulated at the contact point between the cleaning layer 33 and the belt 11 will naturally fall downwards as the cleaning component rotates.

[0042] It should be noted that when the cleaning component 3 is not equipped with a one-way self-locking mechanism, the belt 11 can drive the cleaning component 3 to rotate. At this time, since the cleaning component 3 is a driven rotation, the rotation direction of the belt 11 is opposite to the rotation direction of the cleaning component 3. In order to prevent the cleaning component 3 from following the belt 11 in a driven rotation, it is necessary to prevent the cleaning component 3 from rotating in the opposite direction to the belt 11. Therefore, by setting a one-way self-locking mechanism, only the rotation of the cleaning component 3 in the same direction as the first direction is retained, so as to realize that the cleaning component 3 does not follow the belt 11 in a driven rotation, and can freely rotate in the same direction as the first direction when it is necessary to adjust the contact position between the cleaning layer 33 and the belt 11.

[0043] The belt dust removal device provided in the embodiments of the present invention, by setting a one-way self-locking mechanism in the cleaning component 3, allows the cleaning component 3 to have a first state of remaining stationary under the rotation of the belt 11, and a second state of freely rotating under external force. The direction of free rotation of the cleaning component 3 is the same as the first direction. Thus, when the belt 11 rotates, the cleaning component 3 is in a locked state where it does not rotate, allowing the cleaning layer 33 on the outer periphery of the cleaning component 3 to maintain contact with the rotating belt 11 at a fixed position. This achieves wiping and cleaning of the outer surface of the belt 11, while preventing other parts of the cleaning layer 33 from contacting the belt 11, thereby preventing dirt accumulation on other parts of the cleaning layer 33 and maximizing the cleaning effect at the contact point with the belt 11. After a single cleaning cycle, the cleaning component 3 can be rotated at a certain angle by external force, allowing the clean area of ​​the cleaning layer 33 to contact the outer surface of the belt 11, facilitating further cleaning without having to disassemble and replace the entire cleaning layer 33 after each cleaning cycle. Changing the cleaning position improves cleaning efficiency.

[0044] By installing a belt dust removal device, the belt can be cleaned regularly to remove dirt and grime, ensuring the effectiveness of visual inspection instruments and guaranteeing product quality. Simultaneously, cleaning prevents dirt and debris from falling into the battery, thus avoiding unnecessary risks. The belt dust removal device reduces the tediousness of manual belt wiping, and the cleaning layer 33 can be easily replaced after each use by simply rotating the cleaning component 3, resulting in high reusability.

[0045] In some embodiments, the one-way self-locking mechanism includes a one-way bearing 35.

[0046] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning component 3 includes: a rotating shaft 32, and a roller 31 sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 32;

[0047] The one-way bearing 35 is disposed between the rotating shaft 32 and the roller 31 so that the roller 31 rotates unidirectionally relative to the rotating shaft 32.

[0048] By providing a one-way bearing 35 between the rotating shaft 32 and the roller 31, the roller 31 can rotate unidirectionally relative to the rotating shaft 32, ensuring that the roller 31 can remain stationary under the drive of the rotating belt 11, and allowing the roller 31 to rotate smoothly when the position of the cleaning layer 33 needs to be adjusted.

[0049] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the roller 31 has multiple teeth on its outer periphery, and the cleaning layer 33 covers the multiple teeth.

[0050] By providing multiple teeth on the outer periphery of the roller 31 and covering the outer side of the multiple teeth with the cleaning layer 33, one gear can correspond to a portion of the cleaning layer 33. When a portion of the cleaning layer 33 becomes heavily soiled, the contact position with the belt can be changed by rotating the roller 31 so that another portion of the clean cleaning layer 33 can contact the belt 11.

[0051] It should be noted that since the cleaning layer 33 is formed by covering the outer side of multiple teeth of the roller 31, the position that contacts the belt 11 can be the position of the cleaning layer 33 corresponding to the tooth, or the position of the cleaning layer 33 corresponding to the gap between adjacent teeth. When the position of the cleaning layer 33 corresponding to the tooth contacts the belt 11, the contact form can be line contact; while when the position of the cleaning layer 33 corresponding to the gap between adjacent teeth contacts the belt 11, the contact form is surface contact, or only the positions of the cleaning layer 33 corresponding to the two teeth are in line contact with the belt 11. However, the position of the cleaning layer 33 corresponding to the gap between adjacent teeth lacks support, and its contact with the belt 11 is not stable, which can easily lead to waste of the cleaning layer 33.

[0052] Therefore, in this embodiment, it is preferable to use a position where the cleaning layer 33 corresponding to the teeth contacts the belt 11, so that the teeth of the roller abut against the cleaning layer 33 and the belt 11, ensuring contact stability and improving the cleaning effect.

[0053] In addition, by providing multiple teeth on the outer periphery of the roller 31, the area of ​​the cleaning layer 33 corresponding to each tooth is smaller, which increases the contact friction with the belt and makes the cleaning effect better.

[0054] Optionally, the tooth tip can be made of a softer material, such as urethane, acetal, or PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate).

[0055] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning component 3 further includes a pressure strip 34, which is embedded between two adjacent teeth to fix the cleaning layer 33 to the outer periphery of the roller 31.

[0056] By wrapping the cleaning layer 33 around the outer periphery of the roller 31 and embedding it between two adjacent teeth by the pressure strip 34, the cleaning layer 33 can be fixed to the roller 31 and prevented from loosening under force.

[0057] Optionally, the pressure strip 34 is fixed in the finishing overlap area after the cleaning layer 33 has been wrapped around the roller 31 once.

[0058] Optionally, the pressure strip 34 is provided with a pressure strip mounting hole 341, which is suitable for fixing the pressure strip 34 to the roller 31 by means of a fastener.

[0059] Optionally, along the radial direction of the roller 31, the outer surface of the pressure strip 34 does not extend beyond the outer circumferential surface of the roller 31.

[0060] In some embodiments, the axis of the rotating shaft 32 is parallel to the rotation axis of the belt 11;

[0061] And / or, the tooth extends along the outer circumferential surface of the roller 31 in a direction parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 32.

[0062] By setting the axis of the rotating shaft 32 to be parallel to the rotation axis of the belt 11, it can be ensured that the cleaning layer 33 can clean the entire belt 11 with minimal length.

[0063] By setting the teeth to extend along the outer circumferential surface of the roller 31 parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 32, it can be ensured that the cleaning layer 33 can clean the entire belt 11 with minimal length.

[0064] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the belt dust removal device further includes a lifting component 2, which is adapted to drive the cleaning component 3 to move in a direction close to or away from the belt 11.

[0065] The lifting assembly 2 includes a guide rail 21 and a slider 23 that slides on the guide rail 21. The cleaning assembly 3 is mounted on the slider 23. The slider 23 is driven by the lifting drive 22, thereby causing the cleaning assembly 3 to move in a direction closer to or away from the belt 11.

[0066] Optionally, the lifting assembly 2 is also provided with a mounting base 24, which facilitates fixing the lifting assembly 2.

[0067] By moving the cleaning component 3 closer to or further away from the belt 11, the cleaning component 3 can be activated as needed, for example, once a day. When cleaning is not required, the cleaning component 3 can be moved away from the belt 11 to avoid interference.

[0068] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3 is detachably connected to the lifting component 2. This detachable connection facilitates the disassembly of the cleaning component 3 for replacement of the cleaning layer 33.

[0069] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the belt dust removal device further includes a spray unit 4, which is adapted to spray a cleaning medium onto the outer surface of the belt 11.

[0070] By spraying a cleaning medium onto the outer surface of the belt 11, the cleaning effect on the belt can be enhanced. First, the cleaning medium is sprayed, and then the cleaning layer 33 is used to automatically wipe the dust off the belt 11 to achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0071] Optionally, the cleaning medium can be water, alcohol, or floor cleaning solution, etc.

[0072] The following is a detailed description of the specific working process of the belt dust collector provided in the embodiments of the present invention:

[0073] With the entire equipment in a stopped state, the belt 11 is made to run at a constant speed in the first direction;

[0074] Start the lifting drive 22, which drives the slider 23 to move so that the tip of the roller of the cleaning component 3 presses against the cleaning layer 33 on the belt, thereby cleaning the belt during the belt rotation process;

[0075] The spray unit sprays the cleaning medium onto the belt 11. The cleaning medium sprayed onto the belt 11 can wet the belt. When the belt carrying the cleaning medium runs to the position of the cleaning component 3, it is wiped off by the cleaning layer 33 along with the belt dust.

[0076] Running belt 11 continuously for 3-5 revolutions will achieve the purpose of removing belt dust.

[0077] After cleaning is completed, the lifting drive 22 drives the slider 23 to retract, so that the cleaning component 3 is disengaged from the belt 11, and the roller 31 is rotated one tooth around the first direction so that a clean cleaning layer 33 can contact the belt during the next cleaning.

[0078] Replace the cleaning layer 33 when it becomes dirty in all areas.

[0079] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides a conveying device, including the belt dust collector as described above.

[0080] The conveying device provided in the embodiments of the present invention, by setting a one-way self-locking mechanism in the cleaning component 3, allows the cleaning component 3 to have a first state of remaining stationary under the rotation of the belt 11, and a second state of freely rotating under external force, with the free rotation direction of the cleaning component 3 being the same as the first direction. Thus, when the belt 11 rotates, the cleaning component 3 is in a locked state where it does not rotate, allowing the cleaning layer 33 on the outer periphery of the cleaning component 3 to maintain contact with the rotating belt 11 at a fixed position, thereby achieving wiping and cleaning of the outer surface of the belt 11. Simultaneously, it prevents other parts of the cleaning layer 33 from contacting the belt 11, thus preventing dirt accumulation on other parts of the cleaning layer 33 and maximizing the cleaning effect at the contact point with the belt 11. After a single cleaning cycle, the cleaning component 3 can be rotated at a certain angle by external force, allowing the clean area of ​​the cleaning layer 33 to contact the outer surface of the belt 11, facilitating further cleaning without having to disassemble and replace the entire cleaning layer 33 after each cleaning cycle. Changing the cleaning position improves cleaning efficiency.

[0081] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the present invention.
