[0048] The electrolyte barrel fixing cage 20 includes an openable and closable cage frame, in which a number of columns for limiting the electrolyte barrel 19 are provided. A rubber pad for abutting against the electrolyte barrel 19 to clamp the electrolyte barrel 19 is provided on the side of the column facing the side wall of the electrolyte barrel 19. The rubber pad is elastic and can prevent damage to the electrolyte barrel 19.

[0049] like Figure 6As shown, the first trolley conveying mechanism 7 includes a support frame 71. Four rectangular tugs 72 are mounted at the four corners of the support frame 71. The tugs 72 support the trolley body. The trolley body comprises two side panels 73 spaced apart along the conveying direction of the main conveying and cleaning line 3 and supported by the tugs 72. A plurality of connecting posts 74 are spaced apart circumferentially between the side panels 73. Each side panel 73 has a through-hole 731 for passing through the electrolyte barrel fixing cage 20. A connecting conveyor roller 76 is disposed between the two side panels 73 and extends at the bottom of the through-hole 731. The connecting conveyor roller 76 connects to the main conveying and cleaning line 3 to achieve continuous conveyance of the electrolyte barrel fixing cage 20, which holds the electrolyte barrel 19.

[0050] A plurality of clamping and telescopic cylinders 77 are provided on the rotating cage body. The plurality of clamping and telescopic cylinders 77 are arranged around the electrolyte barrel fixing cage 20 . The plurality of clamping and telescopic cylinders 77 are used to clamp the electrolyte barrel fixing cage 20 and the electrolyte barrel 19 . A side plate 73 is provided with a ring gear 75 on the upper part, and the ring gear 75 is engaged with a gear, and the gear is connected to a rollover drive motor. The rollover drive motor is used to drive the gear to rotate, thereby driving the ring gear 75 to rotate. The rotation of the ring gear 75 drives the cage body to rotate along the tugboat 72, thereby realizing the electrolyte barrel fixing cage 20 and the electrolyte barrel 19 to roll over 90 degrees toward the auxiliary conveying cleaning line 4, so that the bolts and flanges on the top of the electrolyte barrel 19 face the disassembly robot 8, which is convenient for the disassembly robot 8 to disassemble and transfer the bolts and flanges on the electrolyte barrel 19; when the bolts and flanges are disassembled and transferred, the rollover drive motor is reversed to realize the reset of the electrolyte barrel fixing cage 20 and the electrolyte barrel 19; at the same time, under the clamping of the clamping telescopic cylinder 77, the stability of the rollover and reset can be guaranteed.

[0051] like Figures 3 and 4 As shown, the disassembly robot 8 includes a rotating chassis 81, on which a multi-axis robotic arm 82 is rotatably mounted, and the operating end of the multi-axis robotic arm 82 is provided with a rotating picking mechanism, a clamping mechanism and a first 3D vision camera 83, wherein the rotating picking mechanism is used to rotate and pick up bolts; the clamping mechanism is used to pick up flanges; the first 3D vision camera 83 is used to guide the disassembly robot 8 to disassemble the bolts and flanges and complete the transfer of the bolts and flanges to the secondary conveying and cleaning line 4.

[0052] The rotary picking mechanism includes a first mounting base 84 disposed at the operating end of the multi-axis robotic arm 82. The first mounting base 84 is provided with a pair of parallel slide rails 85 and two electric screwdrivers 87 disposed perpendicular to the slide rails 85. One electric screwdriver 87 is fixedly mounted on the two slide rails 85; the other electric screwdriver 87 is slidably mounted on the two slide rails 85. A one-way telescopic cylinder 86 is also disposed on the first mounting base 84. The end of the telescopic rod of the one-way telescopic cylinder 86 is connected to the electric screwdrivers 87 slidably mounted on the two slide rails 85. The one-way telescopic cylinder 86 is used to adjust the spacing between the two electric screwdrivers 87 so that the two electric screwdrivers 87 are aligned with two oppositely disposed bolts, thereby achieving synchronous rotation of the two oppositely disposed bolts. The electric screwdrivers 87 rotate the bolts, thereby completing the removal of the bolts. The rotating end of the electric screwdrivers 87 has magnetic attraction, thereby picking up the bolts. The bolts are then transported to the secondary conveyor cleaning line 4 under the drive of the rotating multi-axis robotic arm 82.

[0053] The clamping mechanism includes a second mounting base 88 arranged at the operating end of the multi-axis robotic arm 82, and a two-way telescopic cylinder 89 is provided on the second mounting base 88. The two telescopic ends of the two-way telescopic cylinder 89 are provided with a pair of relatively arranged flange clamps 810. The flange clamp 810 is used to pick up the flange under the drive of the two-way telescopic cylinder 89, and then transfer the flange to the secondary conveying and cleaning line 4 under the drive of the rotating multi-axis robotic arm 82.

The longitudinal rod 124 is driven by the screw lift assembly 122 to perform an upward and downward movement, thereby driving the second 3D vision camera 126 to extend into the body of the electrolyte barrel 19 and inspect the cleanliness of the inner wall of the electrolyte barrel 19. The top of the longitudinal rod 124 is connected to a rotation drive assembly mounted on the mounting plate 123. The rotation drive assembly is used to drive the longitudinal rod 124 to rotate. The rotation of the longitudinal rod 124 thereby drives the second 3D vision camera 126 to rotate, thereby causing the second 3D vision camera 126 to inspect the cleanliness of the inner wall of the electrolyte barrel 19 in all directions.

[0056] The rotary drive assembly includes a rotary drive motor 128 mounted on the mounting plate 123. A driving pulley 127 is mounted on the output shaft of the rotary drive motor 128.

The output shaft of the rotary drive motor 128 rotates the driving pulley 127. The driving pulley 127 rotates via the transmission belt, which in turn drives the driven pulley 125. The rotation of the driven pulley 125 drives the longitudinal rod 124, thereby rotating the second 3D vision camera 126.
