Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a new energy battery shell cleaning equipment. Background Art

[0002] The battery pack shell is the carrier of the battery of new energy vehicles, mainly used to protect the battery from damage when it is hit or squeezed by the outside world. The shell is mostly made of metal materials, and the shell is generally welded. After welding, the surface of the shell where the battery pack is placed needs to be polished and cleaned to make the surface of the shell smooth and flawless, and remove impurities on the surface of the shell.

[0003] Currently, when cleaning a polished shell, most of the time the shell is placed horizontally and then cleaned manually. This way of placing the shell can prolong the time that the cleaning liquid stays on the surface of the shell, which helps to improve the cleaning effect, but it will cause some cleaning liquid and impurities to remain on the surface of the shell. In addition, some shells are provided with structures such as ribs at the edges, which further prevent the cleaning liquid doped with impurities from flowing out of the shell. The shell needs to be manually flipped to a tilted state to facilitate the outflow of the cleaning liquid doped with impurities.

[0004] Therefore, the above-mentioned method of cleaning the shell is relatively inconvenient and has low operating efficiency, which needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a new energy battery shell cleaning device, which is convenient for cleaning the shell without affecting the shell cleaning effect and improves the efficiency of the cleaning operation.

[0015] Preferably, the abutment plate is connected to a limiting rod, and the limiting rod is slidably disposed through the bottom plate.

[0016] Preferably, a plurality of bumps are provided on the surface of the positioning plate, and the bumps are distributed in an array.

[0037] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 The new energy battery casing cleaning equipment provided by the present invention is described.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 The new energy battery housing cleaning device includes a cleaning housing 3, a positioning mechanism 1 and a cleaning mechanism 2. An opening 31 is provided on one side of the cleaning housing 3. The positioning mechanism 1 is arranged inside the cleaning housing 3, and the cleaning mechanism 2 is arranged on the cleaning housing 3.

[0039] Specifically, a retaining edge 32 is integrally formed at the opening 31 of the cleaning shell 3 near the bottom of the cleaning shell 3, and the retaining edge 32 cooperates with the cleaning shell 3 itself to form a liquid storage tank 33, that is, the bottom of the cleaning shell 3 forms a liquid storage tank 33, so as to facilitate the accumulation of waste liquid of the product when the shell 3 is cleaned. The bottom of the cleaning shell 3 is tilted downward on one side close to the retaining edge 32, and a through hole is opened on the retaining edge 32, and the through hole is blocked by a plug, so that the waste liquid at the bottom of the cleaning shell 3 flows to the through hole under the action of its own gravity, and accumulates at a position close to the through hole, so as to facilitate the discharge of the liquid storage tank 33 after the plug is removed later.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The positioning mechanism 1 includes a positioning bracket 11 and a positioning plate 12. The positioning bracket 11 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning housing 3. The positioning bracket 11 includes two bracket plates arranged at intervals. The bracket plates are arranged vertically, and an adjustment plate 111 is rotatably connected between the two bracket plates through a rotating shaft. The rotation axis of the adjustment plate 111 is parallel to the horizontal direction. The positioning plate 12 is arranged parallel to the adjustment plate 111. The positioning plate 12 is rotatably connected to the positioning bracket 11. The rotation axis of the positioning plate 12 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the adjustment plate 111.

[0041] In this embodiment, the rotation of the adjustment plate 111 is achieved by a motor-driven shaft, and the rotation of the positioning plate 12 is directly driven by a motor connected to the adjustment plate 111, and the above motors are all servo motors. The servo motor has the advantages of high-precision control, fast response, strong programmability, high reliability, energy saving and high efficiency, and can accurately control the rotation angles of the adjustment plate 111 and the positioning plate 12.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 Further, a positioning assembly 13 is provided on the surface of the positioning plate 12, and the positioning assembly 13 includes a bottom plate 131, an abutment plate 132, and an elastic member 133. Two bottom plates 131 are provided on the surface of the positioning plate 12 at intervals, and the bottom plates 131 are perpendicular to the surface of the positioning plate 12 and connected to the positioning plate 12. One abutment plate 132 is provided on each side of the two bottom plates 131 that are close to each other. The abutment plate 132 is provided in parallel with the bottom plate 131, and a space for clamping the positioning shell is formed between the two abutment plates 132. One elastic member 133 is provided between a single bottom plate 131 and a single abutment plate 132, and the elastic member 133 is used to apply elastic force to the abutment plate 132 in a direction away from the bottom plate 131, so that the abutment plate 132 abuts against the shell.

[0043] Specifically in this embodiment, the elastic member 133 is a spring. When the shell to be cleaned needs to be positioned, the two abutment plates 132 are first pushed toward the bottom plate 131 so that the space between the two abutment plates 132 allows the shell to be placed therein, and then the abutment plates 132 are released so that the abutment plates 132 are reset under the elastic force of the spring, thereby clamping the opposite sides of the shell to achieve positioning of the shell.

[0044] In addition, each abutment plate 132 is connected to a limiting rod 134, which is arranged perpendicular to the abutment plate 132. The limiting rod 134 slides through the top plate and partially extends out of the limiting rod 134. The spring is sleeved outside the limiting rod 134, and the two ends of the spring respectively abut the bottom plate 131 and the abutment plate 132. The limiting rod 134 guides and limits the sliding of the abutment plate 132 to prevent the abutment plate 132 from moving or rotating along the radial direction of the spring, thereby ensuring the positioning effect of the shell. At the same time, the abutment plate 132 can be driven to slide by pulling the limiting rod 134, thereby improving the convenience of positioning the shell.

[0045] In addition, in this embodiment, all the abutment plates 132 that abut the surface of the shell are connected with an anti-skid layer, and the anti-skid layer is made of rubber, so as to increase the friction between the abutment plate 132 and the shell, and there are two positioning components 13 in this embodiment, and the two positioning components 13 work together to clamp the shell to improve the stability of clamping the shell.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a liquid storage tank 21, a spray head 22 and a flushing spray head 23. The liquid storage tank 21 is placed on the top of the cleaning shell 3. The liquid storage tank 21 stores cleaning liquid inside. The cleaning liquid in this embodiment is a metal cleaning agent in the prior art, which is mainly composed of a surfactant and an added cleaning aid (such as an alkaline salt), a defoaming agent, a fragrance, etc. It can be widely used for degreasing and cleaning the surface of various metal materials, and is not easy to corrode the surface of the material. The spray head 22 is located above the positioning plate 12, and the spray head 22 is arranged toward the surface of the positioning plate 12. The spray head 22 is connected to the liquid storage tank 21 through a spray pipe 221. A water pump 222 is arranged in the middle of the spray pipe 221, and the water pump 222 is connected to the top of the cleaning shell 3.

[0047] Furthermore, the flushing nozzle 23 is connected to the side of the surface of the positioning plate 12 away from the opening 31, and the flushing nozzle 23 is located between the two abutment plates 132, that is, the flushing nozzle 23 is located at the center of the positioned shell, and the flushing nozzle 23 is set toward the surface of the positioning plate 12. The flushing nozzle 23 is connected to the spray pipe 221 through a flushing pipe (not shown in the figure), and a valve (not shown in the figure) is provided at the liquid inlet end of the flushing pipe.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the shell needs to be cleaned, the adjustment plate 111 is first rotated to make the positioning plate 12 with the shell placed on the surface in a horizontal or nearly horizontal state. The present embodiment takes the horizontal state as an example, and the specific angle can be adjusted according to the material of the shell and the viscosity of the cleaning liquid; then the cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the surface of the shell through the spray head 22. When the shell is in a horizontal state, the cleaning liquid can evenly cover the surface of the shell, and the flow speed is slow, so as to prolong the time that the cleaning liquid stays on the surface of the shell, so that the oil stains on the surface of the shell are dispersed, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the shell surface.

[0049] After cleaning is completed, the side of the positioning plate 12 close to the flushing nozzle 23 is tilted upward by rotating the adjustment plate 111, that is, the flushing nozzle 23 is set higher than the shell. At this time, the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the top of the shell to the surface of the shell through the flushing nozzle 23. The cleaning liquid at a high place impacts the surface of the shell downward under the action of its own gravity. The cleaning liquid sprayed by the flushing nozzle 23 drives the cleaning liquid originally doped with impurities to flow downward quickly, thereby quickly removing the impurities on the surface of the shell, and then the flushing nozzle 23 stops working, waiting for the cleaning liquid to flow downward.

[0050] During the process of the flushing nozzle 23 flushing the shell and waiting for the cleaning liquid to flow away after the flushing nozzle 23 stops working, the positioning plate 12 is driven by the servo motor to rotate back and forth rapidly. The centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation allows the cleaning liquid mixed with impurities on the surface of the shell to quickly separate from the shell, which not only improves the cleaning effect, but also improves the cleaning efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, one end of the spray pipe 221 close to the spray head 22 can be bent. In this embodiment, the spray pipe 221 is a bendable metal bellows, so that the direction of the spray head 22 can be easily adjusted to adapt to shells of different angles.

[0052] In addition, a plurality of bumps 121 are provided on the surface of the positioning plate 12. The bumps 121 are distributed in an array. In this example, the bumps 121 are connected to the surface of the positioning plate 12 and are distributed in a circular array. In some other embodiments, the bumps 121 may also be distributed along a rectangular array.

[0053] The convex block 121 protruding from the surface of the positioning plate 12 abuts against the side of the shell close to the positioning plate 12, firstly, the side of the shell close to the positioning plate 12 can be made less likely to adhere to the cleaning liquid, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the side of the shell close to the positioning plate 12; secondly, when the shell fits the surface of the positioning plate 12, the cleaning liquid remaining on the surface of the positioning plate 12 will fill the gap between the shell and the positioning plate 12, so that the atmospheric pressure outside the shell and the positioning plate 12 is greater than the atmospheric pressure between the shell and the positioning plate 12, causing the shell to adhere to the surface of the positioning plate 12 and be difficult to move and remove, making it inconvenient to adjust the position of the shell when placing the shell, and also inconvenient to remove the shell after cleaning; and the shell is lifted up by the convex block 121, thereby increasing the distance between the shell and the positioning plate 12, allowing air to enter between the shell and the positioning plate 12, and greatly reducing the contact area between the two, preventing the shell from adhering to the positioning plate 12, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the shell and removing the shell, and ultimately greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of shell cleaning.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here.
