[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 One embodiment provided by the present invention:
[0025] A cleaning and drying device for cylindrical batteries that can be tilted to drain electrolyte includes a support frame 1. A fixed top plate 2 is provided at the top of the support frame 1, and first limiting guide rails 5 are installed on the inner walls of both sides of the top of the support frame 1. A first motor 611 is fixedly installed at the top of the fixed top plate 2. A connecting rod 3 is provided on the outer surface of the top of the fixed top plate 2, and electric pulleys 4 are provided on both sides of the connecting rod 3. A first cylinder 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the top of the fixed top plate 2, and one end of the first cylinder 6 is connected to a connecting plate 7. Swing arms 8 are movably installed on both sides of the connecting plate 7, and movable rods 9 are movably installed on the outer surface of the bottom end of the swing arms 8. One end of the movable rod 9 is connected to a clamping plate 912, and the top sides of the clamping plate 912 are... All are fixedly installed with movable parts 515. A first limiting part 511 is fixedly installed on one side of the movable part 515, and a rotating rod 512 is provided on one side of the first limiting part 511. A second limiting part 513 is movably installed on one side of the rotating rod 512. Another set of rotating rods 512 is provided at the bottom end of the second limiting part 513, and a fixing part 514 is provided on one side of the other set of rotating rods 512. A clamp baffle 911 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the fixing part 514. A support plate 111 is fixedly installed at the middle end of the support frame 1, and a cleaning pool 115 is fixedly installed at the middle end of the support plate 111. Multiple sets of second cylinders 311 are provided at the bottom end of the connecting plate 7, and a swing arm 8 is connected to one end of the multiple sets of second cylinders 311.
[0026] Furthermore, an outer frame 112 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the support plate 111. The outer frame 112 is used to position the battery turnover box to prevent it from shaking or tilting during clamping, which helps to ensure the stability of the system during operation and improves the accuracy and reliability of processing.
[0027] Furthermore, a battery box 913 is provided on one outer surface of the swing arm 8, and a connecting shaft 411 is connected to one side of the battery box 913. A first gear 313 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting shaft 411, and a chain 312 is provided on the outer surface of the first gear 313. A second gear 314 is connected to one end of the chain 312, and a movable rod 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the second gear 314. The first gear 313 rotates through the battery box 913, driving the chain 312. The chain 312 drives the second gear 314, which in turn drives the movable rod 9 to select, so that the clamping plate 912 can rotate at an elevation angle of 75°, thereby facilitating the easy and effective outflow of cleaning fluid from the battery turnover box.
[0028] Furthermore, a power control box 114 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 1. The power control box 114 is set with a cleaning time of 5 seconds, a side rotation time of 90 seconds, and a drying cycle of 20 times. This helps to ensure that each step is completed within the predetermined time, improves the accuracy and consistency of the process, avoids unnecessary waste, helps to save water, electricity and other resources, and improves the energy efficiency of the system.
[0029] Furthermore, connecting plates 711 are fixedly installed on both sides of the cleaning pool 115, and screws 712 are provided on the outer surface of the connecting plates 711. The fixed installation of the connecting plates 711 provides stable support on both sides of the cleaning pool 115, which helps to ensure the structural integrity of the entire cleaning pool and reduce instability caused by vibration or external factors. The screws 712 make the cleaning pool 115 easy to install and disassemble.
[0030] Furthermore, a second limiting guide rail 211 is provided on one side of the support plate 111, and a sliding seat 213 is provided on the outer surface of the second limiting guide rail 211. A second motor 214 is fixedly installed on the top of the sliding seat 213, and the second motor 214 drives the sliding seat 213 to move back and forth on the outer surface of the second limiting guide rail 211.
[0031] Furthermore, the outer surface of the sliding seat 213 is provided with an installation tube 212, and one end of the installation tube 212 is connected to a drying arm 215. The bottom end of the drying arm 215 is provided with an exhaust groove, and the top end of the sliding seat 213 is provided with a clamping seat 216 for fixing the drying arm 215. A hot air blower can be installed on the inner wall of the installation tube 212. Through the action of the hot air blower, hot air is discharged from the exhaust groove at the bottom end of the drying arm 215 to ensure that the battery turnover box is dried evenly and quickly.
[0032] Working principle: First, the battery turnover box is placed in the outer frame 112. Then, by driving the first cylinder 6, the connecting plate 7 moves downward. When it reaches the bottom, by driving multiple sets of second cylinders 311, the swing arm 8 moves outward, allowing the clamping plate 912 to fit on the outer surface of the battery turnover box. Then, by driving multiple sets of second cylinders 311, the swing arm 8 retracts, thus clamping the battery turnover box. Then, by driving the first motor 611, the electric pulley 4 moves on the outer surface of the first limit guide rail 5, thereby moving the battery turnover box to the top outer surface of the cleaning tank 115. Finally, by driving the first cylinder 6, the clamped battery turnover box can enter the inner wall of the cleaning tank 115. The battery is soaked in the water. Then, the first cylinder 6 causes the battery turnover box to rise. At this time, the first gear 313 is driven by the battery box 913 to rotate, which drives the chain 312. The chain 312 drives the second gear 314, so that the clamping plate 912 can be held at an elevation angle of 75° above the cleaning tank 115 for 90 seconds. Then, the first motor 611 is driven to move the battery turnover box to the drying area. The second motor 214 is driven to move the sliding seat 213 back and forth 20 times on the outer surface of the second limit guide rail 211. A hot air fan can be installed on the inner wall of the mounting tube 212. The hot air is discharged from the exhaust duct at the bottom of the drying arm 215 by the hot air fan, thereby drying the battery turnover box.
