Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of product cleaning, and in particular to a copper busbar cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] During operation, electric motors require various circuits or specialized devices around them to ensure normal starting, running, and speed regulation. In electric vehicles, the device that transforms and processes the input electrical energy before sending it to the motor terminals to drive the wheels, excluding the motor itself, is collectively called a motor driver. IGBT copper busbars are a crucial component of motor drivers. During assembly, the surface of the IGBT copper busbars needs to be cleaned to prevent short circuits and product damage during subsequent use. Since the welding surfaces of the IGBT copper busbars in the motor driver housing need to be in contact with the IGBT copper busbars from multiple angles, all contact surfaces must be cleaned. Automatic cleaning is required, which presents challenges such as inconsistent incoming materials and the difficulty of cleaning multiple surfaces. Furthermore, solutions need to be found for material handling and automatic multi-faceted cleaning. Currently, copper busbars are primarily cleaned manually using laser cleaning mechanisms. This method is labor-intensive, requiring manual alignment of the copper busbars for cleaning, and this positioning method is inaccurate, leading to incomplete cleaning. Alternatively, robotic arms can be used to grip the copper busbars for multi-angle adjustment and cleaning, but these robotic arms require a large range of motion, limiting their applicability, and require a separate mechanism for loading and unloading the copper busbars, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. If a copper busbar cleaning device could be designed with a simple structure, precise positioning, multi-angle flipping for cleaning, and positioning motion compensation capabilities, these problems could be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a copper busbar cleaning device with simple structure, accurate positioning, multi-angle flipping cleaning of the product, and positioning motion compensation of the cleaning mechanism.

The cleaning component is disposed on the upper end of the clamping adjustment component, and the laser cleaning end of the cleaning component cooperates with the copper busbar product on the clamping end of the clamping adjustment component.

[0005] Furthermore, the clamping adjustment assembly includes a Y-axis linear module, a Z-axis linear module, and a clamping module. The Z-axis linear module is connected to the movable end of the Y-axis linear module. The clamping module includes a clamping support plate, clamping cylinders, clamping frames, and a flipping module. The clamping support plate is connected to the movable end of the Z-axis linear module. Two sets of clamping cylinders are disposed at both ends of the clamping support plate. Two sets of clamping frames are connected to the clamping support plate via double-headed slide rails. The movable ends of the two sets of clamping cylinders are respectively connected to the two sets of clamping frames. The flipping module is disposed between the pressing ends of the two sets of clamping frames and cooperates with the copper busbar product.

[0006] Furthermore, the flipping module includes a first flipping motor and a flipping plate. The two sets of flipping plates are rotatably engaged with the pressing ends of the two sets of clamping frames, and the ends of the two sets of flipping plates are connected by a telescopic connecting rod. The first flipping motor is mounted on one set of clamping frames and rotatably engaged with one set of flipping plates.

The anti-fall base plates are provided with a number of cleaning tanks, and the number of cleaning tanks are adapted to a number of cleaning positions on the copper busbar product.

[0008] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a cleaning bracket, a laser cleaning machine, a transverse module, and a lifting module. The transverse module is disposed on the upper end of the cleaning bracket. The lifting module is connected to the movable end of the transverse module. The laser cleaning machine is connected to the movable end of the lifting module. The transverse module and the lifting module drive the laser cleaning machine to cooperate with the copper busbar product on the flipping module.

[0009] Furthermore, a first visual positioning module is provided on one side of the laser cleaning machine, and the first visual positioning module is in sensing cooperation with the copper busbar product on the flipping module.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a lifting support frame, lifting cylinders, a lifting plate, and a second tilting motor. Several sets of lifting cylinders are disposed on the lower end face of the lifting support frame. The lifting plate is connected to the lifting support frame through several linear bearings.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a machine base 1, a clamping adjustment component 2, a lifting component 3, and a cleaning component 4. The clamping adjustment component 2 and the lifting component 3 are respectively disposed on both sides of the upper end face of the machine base 1. The adjusting end of the clamping adjustment component 2 drives the clamping end of the clamping adjustment component 2 to cooperate with the copper busbar products on the product carrier placed by the lifting end of the lifting component 3. The cleaning component 4 is disposed on the upper end of the clamping adjustment component 2, and the laser cleaning end of the cleaning component 4 cooperates with the copper busbar products on the clamping end of the clamping adjustment component 2. Therefore, both the clamping adjustment component 2 and the cleaning component 4 are equipped with multi-directional adjustment modules. After the clamping module 23 clamps the copper busbar product, the Y-axis, Z-axis, and flip angle can be adjusted, allowing each part on both sides of the copper busbar product that needs to be cleaned to be cleaned from multiple angles. In addition, multiple sets of visual positioning mechanisms can cooperate with the lifting and lateral movement functions of the cleaning component 4 to perform motion compensation, thereby achieving precise positioning and cleaning. The lifting component 3 can adjust the clamping angle, allowing the clamping adjustment component 2 to clamp and hold the copper busbar more precisely. At the same time, the flipping module 27 is designed as a modular quick-release design, which can be applied to copper busbars of different sizes and specifications. It has a simple structure, convenient ring shape, and strong applicability.

[0017] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the clamping adjustment assembly 2 includes a Y-axis linear module 21, a Z-axis linear module 22, and a clamping module 23. The Z-axis linear module 22 is connected to the movable end of the Y-axis linear module 21. The clamping module 23 includes a clamping support plate 24, clamping cylinders 25, clamping frames 26, and a flipping module 27. The clamping support plate 24 is connected to the movable end of the Z-axis linear module 22. Two sets of clamping cylinders 25 are disposed at both ends of the clamping support plate 24. Two sets of clamping frames 26 are connected to the clamping support plate 24 via double-headed slide rails 28. The movable ends of the two sets of clamping cylinders 25 are respectively connected to the two sets of clamping frames 26. The flipping module 27 is disposed between the pressing ends of the two sets of clamping frames 26 and cooperates with the copper busbar product. Therefore, the Y-axis linear module 21 and the Z-axis linear module 22 can drive the clamping module 23 to move in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions, and after positioning the copper busbar product, drive the two sets of clamping cylinders 25 to move synchronously. The flipping module 27 between the two sets of clamping frames 26 clamps the copper busbar product and moves it to the cleaning position through the Y-axis linear module 21 and the Z-axis linear module 22.

[0018] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping module 27 includes a first flipping motor 271 and flipping plates 272. Two sets of flipping plates 272 are rotatably engaged with the pressing ends of two sets of clamping frames 26, respectively. The ends of the two sets of flipping plates 272 are connected by a telescopic connecting rod 273. The first flipping motor 271 is mounted on one set of clamping frames 26 and rotatably engages with one set of flipping plates 272. Each set of flipping plates 272 has a pressure block 274 on a corresponding side. Two sets of clamping cylinders 25 drive several pressure blocks 274 to engage with the copper busbar product. Therefore, the telescopic connecting rod 273 enables synchronous rotation of the two sets of flipping plates 272. The first flipping motor 271 is adaptively adjusted according to the product cleaning markings and, in conjunction with the Y-axis linear module 21 and the Z-axis linear module 22, achieves cleaning in planar, height, and angular positions, resulting in better cleaning performance.

[0019] like Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment, both sets of flip plates 272 are equipped with anti-drop base plates 275 at their upper ends. These anti-drop base plates 275 cooperate with the copper busbar product. Each anti-drop base plate 275 is provided with a plurality of cleaning grooves 276, which are adapted to a plurality of cleaning positions on the copper busbar product. Therefore, the anti-drop base plates 275 can effectively prevent the product from falling off when flipped to the other side. The laser cleaning mechanism can clean the cleaning points through the cleaning grooves 276 without affecting the cleaning effect.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning assembly 4 includes a cleaning bracket 41, a laser cleaning machine 42, a transverse module 43, and a lifting module 44. The transverse module 43 is disposed on the upper end of the cleaning bracket 41. The lifting module 44 is connected to the movable end of the transverse module 43, and the laser cleaning machine 42 is connected to the movable end of the lifting module 44. The transverse module 43 and the lifting module 44 drive the laser cleaning machine 42 to cooperate with the copper busbar product on the flipping module 27. Therefore, the transverse module 43 and the lifting module 44 can realize the positioning adjustment and position compensation of the laser cleaning machine 42 in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, enabling the product to be cleaned in the X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, and flipping directions, resulting in higher efficiency.

[0021] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a first visual positioning module 45 is provided on one side of the laser cleaning machine 42. The first visual positioning module 45 is in sensing cooperation with the copper busbar product on the flipping module 27. Therefore, the first visual positioning module 45 can collect images of the surface of the copper busbar product and adjust them in conjunction with the various motion modules to avoid incomplete cleaning.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 3 includes a lifting support frame 31, lifting cylinders 32, a lifting plate 33, and a second tilting motor 34. Several sets of lifting cylinders 32 are disposed on the lower end face of the lifting support frame 31. The lifting plate 33 is connected to the lifting support frame 31 via several linear bearings 35. The movable ends of several lifting cylinders 32 are connected to the lifting plate 33. The connecting end of the second tilting motor 34 is disposed in the middle of the lifting plate 33. A carrier tray 36 is disposed on the movable end of the second tilting motor 34, and the product carrier is in a limiting fit with the carrier tray 36. Therefore, the second tilting motor 34 can adjust the lifting, lowering, loading, and unloading of the external product carrier and adjust its planar angle, resulting in higher clamping accuracy of the clamping module 23 and preventing product deformation or damage due to excessive pressure during clamping.

[0023] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper end of the carrier tray 36 is provided with a plurality of support columns 37 and a plurality of positioning pins 38, which cooperate with the product carrier. Therefore, the plurality of support columns 37 and the plurality of positioning pins 38 provide support and positioning for the product carrier, preventing the copper busbar product from shifting during loading and unloading.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a second visual positioning module 5 is provided above the lifting component 3. The second visual positioning module 5 cooperates with the product carrier on the movable end of the lifting component 3. A positioning sensor 6 is provided on the side of the machine platform 1 near the lifting component 3. The positioning sensor 6 cooperates with the copper busbar product on the lifting end of the lifting component 3. Therefore, the second visual positioning module 5 can identify whether there is material on the lifting component 3, and the positioning sensor 6 can identify whether the copper busbar product has been lifted into position.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a protective frame 7 is provided on the upper end of the machine base 1. The protective frame 7 is equipped with an inlet / outlet gate 8 and a protective plate 9. The second visual positioning module 5 is located on the upper end of the protective frame 7. Therefore, the inlet / outlet gate 8 and the protective plate 9 provide rapid loading / unloading and protection.

[0026] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Before starting the equipment, the inlet / outlet gate 8 is opened, and the copper busbar product to be cleaned is placed on the product carrier on the lifting assembly 2. The second vision positioning module 5 identifies that there is material on the lifting assembly 3, the lifting cylinder 32 drives the lifting plate 33 to rise, the positioning sensor 6 senses the copper busbar product, the second flipping motor 34 drives the copper busbar product to rotate to the optimal clamping position, the Y-axis linear module 21 and the Z-axis linear module 22 drive the clamping module 23 to descend, and after reaching the clamping position, the clamping cylinder 25 drives the flipping module... Block 27 holds the copper busbar product tightly and rises to the cleaning position. The horizontal moving module 43 and the lifting module 44 drive the laser cleaning machine 42 to adjust its position and perform laser cleaning on the copper busbar product. The Y-axis linear module 21, the Z-axis linear module 22, and the flipping module 27 move synchronously to clean multiple points on both sides of the copper busbar product from multiple angles. The horizontal moving module 43 and the lifting module 44 perform position compensation. After cleaning is completed, all components are reset, and the copper busbar product to be cleaned is replaced. By repeating the above steps, multi-angle precise cleaning of the copper busbar product can be achieved.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to actual solutions, they do not constitute a limitation on the meaning of the present invention. Modifications to the embodiments and combinations with other solutions based on this specification will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
