[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] As Figures 1 - 9 shown, it includes an integration mechanism and a cleaning mechanism, and also includes a battery slot 70. The interior of the battery slot 70 is divided into at least one chamber. A plurality of ribs 701 are provided at the bottom of each chamber of the battery slot 70. A plurality of cleaning mechanisms are provided, and there are also various models among them. According to the number of chambers in the battery slot 70, cleaning mechanisms of corresponding positions, quantities and models are installed, and all are detachably installed on the integration mechanism. The integration mechanism includes an integration board 60. One end of the integration board 60 is connected to an external walking device. At least one socket 601 is provided at the bottom of the integration board 60. The cleaning mechanism is matched with the socket 601. Through the setting of the integration mechanism, according to the usage requirements, it can be adjusted and expanded, and cleaning mechanisms of corresponding models and quantities are installed to meet diverse application scenarios. Only by simple assembly can the device be changed into a cleaning component for different models of battery cases without additional replacement. The cleaning device includes a cleaning base 10 and a cleaning rod 20, wherein the length of the cleaning rod 20 is greater than the depth of the battery slot 70.

[0022] A motor 30 is provided inside the cleaning rod 20. A motor shaft 301 is fixed on the motor 30. A side gear 302 and a bottom gear 303 are installed on the motor shaft 301. Among them, the side gear 302 provides power output for the side cleaning component. Among them, the side gear 302 can drive the side cleaning component to rotate through gear transmission or belt transmission. The bottom gear 303 provides power output for the bottom cleaning component through a limit pin 304 at its bottom. The cleaning rod 20 is fixedly installed on the surface of the cleaning base 10. An electric socket 201 is fixed on the side of the cleaning rod 20 away from the cleaning base 10. The electric socket 201 is electrically connected to the motor 30.

[0023] Among them, a bottom cleaning component and a side cleaning component are provided on the cleaning base 10. The bottom cleaning component includes a bottom plate 50, a track plate 51 and a connecting rod 52. From top to bottom, the track plate 51, the connecting rod 52 and the bottom plate 50 are arranged in sequence. Bottom brush pieces 522 are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 52. A track column 521 is also fixed on the connecting rod 52. A track hole 511 is formed in the track plate 51. The track column 521 moves along the track of the track hole 511. Part of the bottom brush piece 522 is located outside for cleaning the shell. Both ends of the bottom brush piece 522 are fixed to both ends of the connecting rod 52 respectively. Two side end faces of the track plate 51 are fixed on the inner wall of the cleaning base 10. The track hole 511 is arranged in a curve. The track column 521 is located in the track hole 511 and is slidably connected thereto. The curve of the track hole 511 is arranged in a shape similar to the letter 'S'. When the connecting rod 52 moves, through the restriction of the track column 521, the track column 521 moves along the track of the track hole 511, so that the connecting rod 52 can reciprocally slide along its length direction, thereby driving the bottom brush piece 522 to reciprocally slide around the second brush shaft 53. The width of the connecting rod 52 is less than half of the length of the track plate 51, which can give the connecting rod 52 a certain moving space, enabling the device to perform a brushing action.

[0024] A cleaning inner cavity 101 is formed inside the cleaning base 10. Two notches are also formed at the bottom of the cleaning base 10. The notches communicate with the cleaning inner cavity 101. Slide rods 11 are fixed at the notches. A second brush shaft 53 is rotatably connected to the slide rods 11. Among them, the bottom brush piece 522 and the connecting rod 52 form a complete ring around the second brush shaft 53. A plurality of bristles are arranged on the end face of the bottom brush piece 522. Two groups of connecting feet 503 are respectively fixed on both sides of the bottom plate 50. Each group of connecting feet 503 has two and is sleeved on the slide rod 11 and is respectively located on both sides of the second brush shaft 53. A bottom plate cover 501 is fixed on one side end face of the bottom plate 50. The bottom plate cover 501 is located above the track plate 51. A limiting groove 502 is also formed on the bottom plate cover 501. Due to the restriction of the connecting feet 503, the bottom plate 50 can only slide on the slide rod 11. When the limiting pin 304 rotates driven by the bottom gear 303, the bottom plate 50 can be driven to reciprocally move through the restriction of the limiting groove 502, thereby driving the connecting rod 52 to reciprocally move, and thus the bottom of the battery shell can be cleaned.

[0025] Therefore, by driving the bottom brush piece 522 to slide along the width direction of the cleaning base 10 through the bottom plate 50 and driving the bottom brush piece 522 to slide along the length direction of the cleaning base 10 through the track column 521, the bottom brush piece 522 can move horizontally and vertically simultaneously, so that the bottom of the battery shell can be cleaned. Especially for the edge dead corners of the rib 701, it can still be cleaned, effectively avoiding the problem that it is difficult to clean the dead corners inside the battery shell.

[0026] The side cleaning component includes a side brush piece 40 and a first brush piece shaft 401. The first brush piece shaft 401 is located at the four edges on the side of the cleaning base 10, and the side brush piece 40 is sleeved on the first brush piece shaft 401. A number of bristles are also provided on the end face of the side brush piece 40. By driving the side brush piece 40 to rotate through the first brush piece shaft 401, when the cleaning base 10 enters the battery slot 70, the edges of the inner chamber of the battery slot 70 can be cleaned. Since it is square-shaped, most positions at the edge of the storage battery case can be cleaned, greatly increasing its cleaning range.

[0027] Working principle: During use, according to the number and size of the inner chambers of the battery slot 70, the corresponding cleaning mechanisms are installed accordingly. After the electrical bayonet 201 is inserted into the socket 601, the circuit can be connected. Then, the external walking device is started, driving the integrated board 60 and the cleaning mechanism to move downward, so that the cleaning mechanism enters the chambers in the battery slot 70. Then, the motor 30 can be started to drive the motor shaft 301 to drive the side gear 302 and the bottom gear 303 to rotate. The rotation of the side gear 302 can drive the first brush piece shaft 401 to rotate, thereby driving the side brush piece 40 to rotate. During the downward movement of the cleaning base 10, the side arms of the storage battery case are cleaned by the bristles on the side brush piece 40.

[0028] After the cleaning rod 20 drives the cleaning base 10 to move to the bottom of the housing and then stops moving, the bottom gear 303 rotates and drives the limit pin 304 to rotate. Then, the bottom plate 50 can be driven to slide back and forth on the sliding rod 11 through the limit groove 502. The connecting feet 503 on the bottom plate 50 can drive the second brush shaft 53 to slide. At the same time, the bottom plate cover 501 on the bottom plate 50 restricts the position of the connecting rod 52, so as to drive the connecting rod 52 to move synchronously with the bottom plate 50, thereby driving the bottom brush 522 to slide back and forth to clean the bottom of the housing horizontally. Through horizontal cleaning, the bristles can contact two of the side dead corners at the bottom of the square groove inside the battery slot 70. These two sides are arranged parallel to the horizontal movement direction of the bottom plate. Since when the bottom plate 50 moves longitudinally, the movement direction of the bristles will be perpendicular to these two sides, they will be blocked by the raised parts on the two side edges of the square groove and cannot be cleaned thoroughly. Since the track plate 51 is fixed on the cleaning base 10 and does not move, during the movement of the connecting rod 52, through the restriction of the track hole 511, the connecting rod 52 can be driven to move longitudinally, thereby driving the bottom brush 522 to move back and forth longitudinally, so as to clean the bottom of the housing longitudinally. Longitudinal cleaning can make the bristles contact the other two side dead corners at the bottom of the square groove inside the battery slot 70, and make the longitudinal movement direction parallel to these two sides. Therefore, when cleaning the bottom of the housing, horizontal and longitudinal cleaning can be carried out directly at the same time, making the cleaning effect better and the cleaning efficiency higher. After a period of time, after the cleaning of the battery housing is completed, the external device raises the integrated mechanism and the cleaning mechanism. Then, when the battery housing is transmitted to the next housing directly below the cleaning mechanism through the conveyor belt, repeating the above process can complete the automatic cleaning.

[0029] In summary, for the cleaning equipment of the plastic battery housing, by driving the bottom brush 522 to slide along the width direction of the cleaning base 10 through the bottom plate 50 and driving the bottom brush 522 to slide along the length direction of the cleaning base 10 through the track column 521, the bottom brush 522 can move horizontally and longitudinally at the same time, so as to clean the bottom of the battery housing. Especially at the edge dead corners of the rib 701, it can still be cleaned, effectively avoiding the problem that it is difficult to clean the dead corners inside the battery housing; by driving the side brush 40 to rotate through the first brush shaft 401, when the cleaning base 10 enters the battery slot 70, the inner chamber edge of the battery slot 70 can be cleaned. Since it is square, most positions at the edge of the battery housing can be cleaned, greatly increasing the cleaning range; through the setting of the integrated mechanism, according to the use requirements, it can be adjusted and expanded, and the corresponding number of cleaning mechanisms of the corresponding model can be installed to meet diverse application scenarios. With only simple assembly, the equipment can be changed into a cleaning component for different models of battery housings without additional replacement.
