[0061] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0062] In related technologies, it is crucial to clean parts before installation to wash away oil, dust, etc. to avoid affecting the operating performance of the parts. For example, the connecting piece of the positive electrode of the battery can be cleaned to remove oil, dust, oxides and other impurities on the surface of the connecting piece to prevent them from affecting current transmission, ensure good contact between the connecting piece and components such as the battery pole, and ensure the battery charging and discharging performance.

[0063] For sheet parts, such as the connecting piece of the positive electrode of the battery, they need to be inserted into the cleaning frame for centralized cleaning after they are produced. The way to load the sheet parts into the cleaning frame is to insert the frame manually. Manual insertion will cause many problems for the sheet parts, such as bumps, scratches, reverse insertion of products, and stacking of products. This not only consumes a lot of manpower and has low efficiency, but also causes unstable part quality.

[0064] It should be noted that if Figure 1 , which is a schematic structural diagram of the cleaning frame 10 , wherein the cleaning frame 10 is provided with 6 slots in a row, for a total of 50 rows of slots.

[0065] The following combination Figures 1 to 18 , describing the embodiments of the present application.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, an automatic frame insertion device is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes a first grabbing module 1, a carrying module 2 and at least one carrying module 2, and the specific solution is as follows.

[0067] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, at least one grasping unit 11 is provided at the grasping end of the first grasping module 1, and the grasping unit 11 is used to grasp the sheet parts 9; specifically, the first grasping module 1 can be a collaborative robot or a robotic arm or other equipment with telescopic movement; the number of grasping units 11 on the first grasping module 1 is 1 to 3, preferably 2, and they are arranged side by side at intervals; the grasping unit 11 can be provided with a suction cup to absorb the sheet parts 9, or can be provided with an electromagnet to absorb iron sheet parts 9, or can be provided with a suction cup and an electromagnet to cooperate to grasp the sheet parts 9.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the carrying module 2 is a carrying platform, which may also be the ground, etc.; the carrying module 2 is used to place the cleaning frame 10.

[0069] like Figure 2As shown, a flip assembly 31 is provided on the basket flip module 3, which rotates via a rotating shaft. The flip assembly 31 has a first state for receiving the sheet component 9 and a second state for inserting the sheet component 9 into the cleaning frame 10. Specifically, in the facing state, the flip assembly 31 receives the sheet component 9 placed by the first gripping module 1, then rotates around the rotating shaft by a certain angle, and then enters the second state for inserting the sheet component 9 into the cleaning frame 10.

[0070] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the flip assembly 31 is provided with a fixing portion 311 and a pushing portion 312. Figure 3 As shown, the fixing portion 311 is used to fix the sheet parts 9 placed by at least one first grasping module 1. Specifically, the fixing portion 311 can be provided with multiple groups of suction cups to adsorb and fix multiple sheet parts 9 respectively; it can also be provided with multiple groups of electromagnets to adsorb and fix multiple sheet parts 9 respectively; it can also be provided with multiple groups of adsorption components to adsorb and fix multiple sheet parts 9 respectively, and each group of adsorption components includes a suction cup and an electromagnet; the fixing portion 311 can fix 1 to 10 sheet parts 9, preferably 4 or 6.

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown, the pushing portion 312 is a component that can be extended and retracted relative to the fixed portion 311. The pushing portion 312 is used to push the sheet part 9 placed on the fixed portion 311 into the cleaning frame 10 on the carrier module 2 to clean the sheet part 9; one solution is: the pushing portion 312 is a block slidingly set on the flip assembly 31, and is driven to move back and forth by a telescopic cylinder to push the sheet part 9 on the fixed portion 311; in another solution, the pushing portion 312 is a driving rod rotatably set on the flip assembly 31, and one end of the driving rod can contact the sheet part 9 on the fixed portion 311 when rotated to a certain angle, and push the sheet part 9 to move.

[0072] Specifically, the number of the basket flip modules 3 can be 1 to 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, there are two inserting basket flipping modules 3, and the two inserting basket flipping modules 3 are arranged opposite to each other (i.e., face to face) and spaced apart. The distance between the two inserting basket flipping modules 3 can be half the length of the cleaning frame 10, so that the two inserting basket flipping modules 3 can simultaneously insert slices into the same cleaning frame 10, or perform a cyclic inserting action on the same cleaning frame 10.

[0073] It should be noted that the cleaning frame 10 and the basket flip module 3 on the carrying module 2 can move relative to each other, that is, the cleaning frame 10 can move and the basket flip module 3 can remain stationary; or the cleaning frame 10 can remain stationary and the basket flip assembly 31 can move; or the cleaning frame 10 and the basket flip assembly 31 can move in the same direction at the same time. Within a unit time, the cleaning frame 10 is one unit distance faster or slower than the basket flip assembly 31. One unit distance is the distance between the center planes of two adjacent slots on the cleaning frame 10.

[0074] In the specific use process, such as Figure 1 As shown, the grabbing of the connecting piece of the positive electrode of the battery (i.e., the sheet-like component 9) is taken as an example for explanation. Specifically, there are two grabbing units 11 on the first grabbing module 1, and there are two inserting basket flipping modules 3. The two inserting basket flipping modules 3 are arranged opposite to each other (i.e., arranged face to face) and spaced apart. The fixing portion 311 and the grabbing unit 11 are both suction cups, wherein the fixing portion 311 can fix 6 sheet-like components 9; the cleaning frame 10 is provided with 6 slots in each row, and a total of 50 rows of slots are provided.

[0075] like Figure 15 As shown, the first grabbing module 1 absorbs a connecting piece through two grabbing units 11 respectively, and moves to the fixing portion 311 of the insert basket flipping module 3. At this time, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the flip assembly 31 on the insert basket flip module 3 is in the first state, that is, the fixing portion 311 is in a horizontal state, and the fixing portion 311 absorbs the connecting piece through the suction cup. After three grabbing actions, the first grabbing module 1 can make the fixing portion 311 of one insert basket flip module 3 absorb six connecting pieces. Figure 8 As shown, the basket flip module 3 is then flipped to the second state, so that the connecting piece corresponds to the first row of slots on the cleaning frame 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the pushing portion 312 then pushes the six connecting pieces into the first row of slots of the cleaning frame 10 for insertion. After the insertion action is completed, it resets to the first state. At the same time, the first grabbing module 1 places the six connecting pieces on the other inserting basket flipping module 3; and inserts them into the 26th row of slots on the cleaning frame 10. After both inserting basket flipping modules 3 have performed one insertion action, the carrying module 2 can be moved along the slot arrangement direction of the cleaning frame 10 by a unit distance (that is, along the slot arrangement direction of the cleaning frame 10, the distance from the center of one slot to the center of the adjacent slot). Then, the above actions are repeated 25 times to complete the insertion of one cleaning frame 10.

[0076] In this embodiment, the sheet part 9 is moved to the fixing portion 311 of the flip module in the first state by the grabbing unit 11 on the first grabbing module 1, the fixing portion 311 fixes the sheet part 9, and then the insert basket flip module 3 is flipped to the second state, so that the sheet part 9 corresponds to the slot on the cleaning frame 10, and then the pushing portion 312 pushes the sheet part 9 to be inserted into the slot in the cleaning frame 10, which can avoid human contact with the sheet part 9 and cause damage to the part, thereby improving the stability of the part quality; at the same time, the first grabbing module 1 and the insert basket flip module 3 perform actions accurately, which can improve loading efficiency and reduce waste of human resources.

[0077] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,as well as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a limiting portion 313 is also movably provided on the flip assembly 31. The limiting portion 313 can move relative to the fixing portion 311. The limiting portion 313 has a third state away from the sheet part 9 on the fixing portion 311; and a fourth state limiting the sheet part 9 from being away from the fixing portion 311.

[0078] Specifically, the limiting portion 313 is a plate that is driven by a driver (cylinder or motor) and can move relative to the fixing portion 311, thereby limiting the sheet component 9 between the limiting portion 313 and the fixing portion 311. In one embodiment, the limiting portion 313 is driven by a telescopic cylinder to move toward or away from the fixing portion 311, placing the limiting portion 313 in the third or fourth state, respectively. In another embodiment, the limiting portion 313 is hinged to the flip assembly 31, and a rotary motor drives the limiting portion 313 to rotate about the hinge, placing the limiting portion 313 in the third or fourth state.

[0079] In this embodiment, by movably setting a limiting portion 313 on the flipping assembly 31, the limiting portion 313 can be placed in the third state, away from the fixing portion 311, so that the first grasping module 1 can place the sheet part 9 on the fixing portion 311; and the limiting portion 313 is in the fourth state, which can confine the sheet part 9 between the limiting portion 313 and the fixing portion 311, and keep the sheet part 9 stable during the flipping process of the basket flipping assembly 31 and the process of the pushing portion 312 pushing the sheet part 9 for insertion.

[0080] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the basket flip module 3 includes a flip assembly 31, a first drive motor 32 and a flip frame 33; specifically, the first drive motor 32 is a motor or a motor provided with a reducer; the flip assembly 31 includes a flip plate 314, a first telescopic device 315 and a pushing component 316, specifically, the first telescopic device 315 is a telescopic cylinder or a motor provided with a screw; the flip plate 314 is rotatably connected to the flip frame 33 through a rotating shaft, the first drive motor 32 is coaxially driven and connected to the flip plate 314, and the pushing component 316 is slidably provided on the flip plate 314 along the first direction X, specifically, the pushing component 316 is driven by a slide rail. The first retractor 315 is connected to the pushing component 316 in a sliding manner. Specifically, a threaded hole is provided on the pushing component 316, and the lead screw on the first retractor 315 is transmission-connected to the threaded hole. The end of the pushing component 316 close to the fixed portion 311 is the pushing portion 312. Specifically, the pushing portion 312 is an end surface or protrusion of the pushing portion 312 close to the fixed portion 311, which abuts against the sheet part 9 on the fixed portion 311, wherein the first direction X intersects with the rotation axis of the flip plate 314. Preferably, the first direction X is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the flip plate 314.

[0081] In the specific use process, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the sheet part 9 is fixed on the fixing portion 311, the first driving motor 32 drives the flip assembly 31 to rotate as a whole to the second state, and then the first telescoping device 315 drives the pushing component 316 to move to push the sheet part 9 to slide relative to the fixing portion 311, so as to be inserted into the slot of the cleaning frame 10.

[0082] In this embodiment, the flip assembly 31 is driven to rotate by the first driving motor 32, which has a simple structure and low cost; and a pushing component 316 is slidably set on the flip plate 314 in the flip assembly 31, and the pushing component 316 is driven to slide back and forth by the first telescopic device 315 to push the sheet part 9 on the fixed part 311, which has a simple structure, good structural stability and low cost.

[0083] In one embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pushing component 316 includes a bottom plate 3161, a first slide plate 3162, a second slide plate 3163, a second retractor 3165 and two limit plates 3164, and the specific solution is as follows.

Specifically, the bottom plate 3161 is slidably connected to the flip plate 314 through the cooperation of a sliding groove and a sliding rail.

[0085] like Figure 4As shown, the first slide plate 3162 is slidably arranged on the bottom plate 3161 along the first direction X through the cooperation of the slide rail and the slide groove.

[0086] like Figure 4 As shown, the second slide 3163 is slidably connected to the first end of the first slide 3162 along the second direction Y through the cooperation of the slide groove and the slide rail, and the second slide 3163 is provided with a limiting portion 313 and a pushing portion 312 near the fixed portion 311, wherein the second direction Y, the first direction X and the rotation axis of the flip plate 314 intersect with each other. Preferably, the second direction Y, the first direction X and the rotation axis of the flip plate 314 are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0087] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the surface of the second slide plate 3163 close to the fixed part 311 is provided with a accommodating groove, a pressure block 31632 and a spring 31633, a part of the pressure block 31632 is slidably set in the accommodating groove, the spring 31633 is set between the pressure block 31632 and the bottom surface of the accommodating groove, and the surface of the pressure block 31632 facing the fixed part 311 is the limiting part 313, and the limiting part 313 is provided with a protrusion as the pushing part 312.

[0088] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two limit plates 3164 are fixed on the base plate 3161 by bolts and are located on both sides of the second slide 3163. A guide portion 31641 is provided on the limit plate 3164. The two ends of the second slide 3163 respectively cooperate with the guide portions 31641 on the limit plate 3164. The guide portion 31641 has a first portion for making the limit portion 313 on the second slide 3163 be in the third state, and a second portion for making the limit portion 313 on the second slide 3163 be in the fourth state. Specifically, the first portion and the second portion are two different positions on the guide portion 31641 respectively. The end of the second slide 3163 can move from the first portion to the second portion in the guide portion 31641, so that the second slide 3163 is in the third state, and can also move from the second portion to the first portion, so that the second slide 3163 is in the fourth state.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the guide portion 31641 is a guide groove, and driving blocks are provided at both ends of the first slide plate 3162. The driving blocks are cylindrical and slide in the guide groove. The guide groove extends along the first direction X.

[0091] In the specific use process, such as Figure 3 As shown, before the first grasping module 1 places the sheet component 9 on the fixing portion 311, the first slide 3162 is close to the fixing portion 311 and the second slide 3163 is away from the fixing portion 311. Then, the first grasping module 1 places the sheet component 9 on the fixing portion 311. After the sheet component 9 on the fixing portion 311 is placed, Figure 7 As shown, the second telescoping device 3165 drives the first slide 3162 to move along the first direction X away from the fixed portion 311, so that the second slide 3163 moves toward the fixed portion 311 under the guidance of the guide portion 31641 on the limiting plate 3164, thereby limiting the sheet part 9 on the fixed portion 311 (the pressing block 31632 is elastically pressed on the sheet part 9, and the protrusion is spaced apart from the end of the sheet part 9 close to the first slide 3162).

[0092] like Figure 8 As shown, the first driving machine 32 drives the flip plate 314 to rotate to the second state, and then, as shown in FIG. Figure 9 As shown, the first telescoping device 315 drives the bottom plate 3161 to move along the insertion direction, so that the pushing portion 312 on the second slide 3163 contacts the end of the sheet part 9 close to the first slide 3162 and pushes the sheet part 9 to be inserted into the slot of the cleaning frame 10.

[0093] In this embodiment, a first slide 3162 is slidably set on the bottom plate 3161, a second slide 3163 is set at the end of the first slide 3162 close to the fixed portion 311, and the second slide 3163 is slidably connected to the first slide 3162 along the second direction Y, and the second slide 3163 is driven close to or away from the fixed portion 311 by the guidance of the limiting plate 3164 to limit the sheet part 9 on the fixed portion 311. The structure is simple and the reliability is high.

[0094] In some embodiments not shown, the surface of the second slider close to the fixed portion 311 is a limiting portion 313, which is arranged with a gap between it and the sheet part 9 fixed on the fixed portion 311, and a protrusion is arranged on the surface of the second slider close to the fixed portion 311, which is a pushing portion 312.

[0095] In some embodiments not shown, the pushing portion 312 may also be provided on the end surface of the bottom plate 3161 close to the fixing portion 311 .

[0096] In one embodiment, Figure 14As shown, the automatic frame insertion equipment also includes a sub-basket loading module 6, which includes a conveyor belt 61, a lifting mechanism 62 and a second grabbing module 63; specifically, the second grabbing module 63 is a robot or an industrial robot arm; the conveyor belt 61 is used to convey multiple stacked cleaning frames 10; the lifting mechanism 62 drives the lifting end to slide up and down through a motor-driven chain; the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 62 is provided with two load-bearing beams 621, and the two load-bearing beams 621 can be located on both sides of the conveyor belt 61 for lifting the stacked cleaning frames 10 on the conveyor belt 61; the second grabbing module 63 is used to move the cleaning frame 10 on the lifting end to the carrying module 2.

[0097] In the specific use process, such as Figure 14 As shown, workers can prevent multiple cleaning frames 10 in a stacked state from being placed on the conveyor belt 61. The conveyor belt 61 transports the cleaning frames 10 to the lifting mechanism 62. The two load-bearing beams 621 at the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 62 are located at the bottom of the multiple cleaning frames 10 in a stacked state. The multiple stacked cleaning frames 10 are lifted. A limiter is provided on the lifting mechanism 62. When the cleaning frame 10 located at the top of the multiple cleaning frames 10 in the stacked state triggers the limiter, the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 62 stops rising. Figure 1 As shown, the grabbing end of the second grabbing module 63 grabs the cleaning frame 10 at the top and moves it to the carrying module 2, and then the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 62 continues to lift to cause the cleaning frame 10 to trigger the limiter. After the cleaning frame 10 is grabbed, the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 62 is reset to proceed to the next cycle.

[0098] In this embodiment, the stacked cleaning frames 10 are conveyed to the lifting end of the lifting mechanism 62 by the conveyor belt 61, and the cleaning frames 10 are lifted to a specific position by the lifting mechanism 62, and then the second grabbing module 63 is used to grab the cleaning frames 10 one by one and place them on the carrying module 2, which can realize batch shelving of the cleaning frames 10, is highly intelligent, and can save manpower.

[0099] In one embodiment, Figure 10 As shown, the automatic frame insertion device further includes a frame 4, and the carrying module 2 is slidably arranged on the frame 4 by means of a slide rail and a slide groove, and is driven by a stepping motor.

[0100] like Figure 11 As shown, the carrying module 2 is provided with a lifting end 21, which is used to carry the cleaning frame 10; specifically, the carrying module 2 is provided with a third telescopic device and a carrying platform, the carrying platform is provided on the telescopic end of the third telescopic device, and the third telescopic device is a telescopic cylinder or a motor provided with a screw.

[0101] like Figure 11As shown, a clamping assembly 211 is provided on the lifting end 21, and the clamping assembly 211 is used to clamp the cleaning frame 10 and limit the cleaning frame 10 along the third direction M; specifically, the clamping assembly 211 includes a first fixed block 2111, a first movable block 2112 and a fourth telescope 2113, the fixed ends of the first fixed block 2111 and the fourth telescope 2113 are fixedly arranged on the supporting platform, the first movable block 2112 is connected to the telescopic end of the fourth telescope 2113, and the cleaning frame 10 is placed between the first fixed block 2111 and the first movable block 2112.

[0102] and / or, such as Figure 11 As shown, a position correction component 41 is provided on the frame 4 for correcting the position of the cleaning frame 10 along the fourth direction N, wherein the third direction M intersects with the fourth direction N; specifically, the position correction component 41 includes a second fixed block 411, a second movable block 412 and a fifth telescope 413, the fixed ends of the second fixed block 411 and the fifth telescope 413 are fixedly provided on the frame 4, the second movable block 412 is connected to the telescopic end of the fifth telescope 413, and the cleaning frame 10 is placed between the second fixed block 411 and the second movable block 412.

[0103] It is worth noting that the third direction M may coincide with the first direction X, and the fourth direction N may be the same as the direction of the rotation axis of the flip assembly 31 .

[0104] Specifically, rubber blocks are provided at the locations of the first fixed block 2111 , the first movable block 2112 , the second fixed block 411 and the second movable block 412 that are in contact with the cleaning frame 10 to prevent hard contact with the cleaning frame 10 .

[0105] In the specific use process, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the carrying platform of the carrying module 2 moves to the position correction component 41, and then the cleaning frame 10 is placed on the carrying platform of the carrying module 2. The position of the cleaning frame 10 along the fourth direction N is calibrated by the position correction component 41, that is, the cleaning frame 10 is located between the second fixed block 411 and the second movable block 412, and between the first fixed block 2111 and the first movable block 2112. The second movable block 412 is driven to move toward the direction of the second fixed block 411 by the fifth telescopic device 413, pushing the cleaning frame 10 to contact the second fixed block 411, thereby completing the correction of the cleaning frame 10 along the fourth direction N.

[0106] Then, the fourth telescoping device 2113 on the supporting platform drives the first movable block 2112 to move toward the direction of the first fixed block 2111, pushing the cleaning frame 10 to contact the first fixed block 2111, so that the cleaning frame 10 is clamped between the first fixed block 2111 and the second movable block 412, thereby realizing the position correction of the cleaning frame 10 along the third direction M.

[0107] In this embodiment, by providing the position correction component 41 and the clamping assembly 211 , the position of the cleaning frame 10 can be corrected, thereby improving the insertion accuracy of the sheet component 9 .

[0108] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the automatic frame insertion device also includes a sub-basket unloading module 5; Figure 10 As shown, a buffer track 42, a pushing assembly and two track connecting assemblies 44 are sequentially arranged on the frame 4 along the fifth direction P; specifically, the fifth direction P and the first direction X may coincide with each other.

[0110] like Figure 13 As shown, the two track connecting assemblies 44 are arranged opposite to each other and at intervals. The track connecting assembly 44 is provided with a connecting rail 441 and a connector 442. The connecting rail 441 and the connector 442 can be extended and retracted along the sixth direction W. Specifically, the connecting rail 441 and the connector 442 are respectively driven to extend and retract by a telescopic cylinder. The connecting rail 441 is connected to the buffer rail 42 in the extended state (that is, the connecting rail 441 and the buffer rail 42 are connected at the same height), which is used to receive the loaded cleaning frame 10 pushed from the buffer rail 42 by the pushing assembly. The connector 442 can cooperate with the side of the cleaning frame 10 in the extended state. Specifically, in one solution: Figure 1 As shown, a hollow groove is provided on the side of the cleaning frame 10, and the connector 442 is inserted into the hollow groove to support the cleaning frame 10; in another embodiment, a carrying ear is provided on the side of the cleaning frame 10, and the connector 442 can be inserted below the lower surface of the carrying ear and is in bearing contact with the lower surface of the carrying ear to support the cleaning frame 10; wherein, the sixth direction W is perpendicular to the fifth direction P; specifically, the sixth direction W is the same as the direction of the rotation axis of the flip assembly 31.

[0111] like Figure 18 As shown, a lifting platform 51 is provided on the sub-basket unloading module 5, and the lifting platform 51 is used to receive the loaded cleaning frame 10 dropped from the docking assembly after the docking rail 441 and the connector 442 are retracted in sequence.

[0112] Specifically, the lifting platform 51 is driven by a telescopic cylinder or a motor screw.

[0113] During the specific implementation process, after the cleaning frame 10 on the carrying module 2 is loaded, the carrying module 2 moves the cleaning frame 10 to the buffer rail 42, and then pushes the cleaning frame 10 to the docking rail 441 through the pushing component, and the connector 442 is plugged into the side of the carrying cleaning frame 10, and then the docking rail 441 retracts, and the connector 442 carries the cleaning frame 10, and then the lifting platform 51 in the sub-basket unloading module 5 rises, carrying the cleaning frame 10, and the cleaning frame 10 is separated from the connector 442, the connector 442 retracts, the lifting platform 51 descends, and then the docking rail 441 extends again to carry out the next cycle, so that the stacking and collection of the cleaning frames 10 can be realized.

[0116] Among them, in the process of the push block 4311 moving from the buffer track 42 to the track docking assembly 44, the push block 4311 has a fifth state in which it is engaged with the cleaning frame 10 on the buffer track 42 under the elastic force of the elastic member; in the process of the push block 4311 moving from the track docking assembly 44 to the buffer track 42, the guide slope 43111 is pushed by the cleaning frame 10, and the push block 4311 has a sixth state in which it is in sliding contact with the cleaning frame 10.

[0117] Another scheme of the telescopic pushing component 431 is: not shown in the figure, a pushing block 4311 driven by a cylinder is provided on the telescopic end of the telescopic pushing component 431. During the process of the pushing block 4311 moving from the buffer track 42 to the track docking assembly 44, the pushing block 4311 is pushed out under the drive of the cylinder and is in the fifth state of being engaged with the cleaning frame 10 on the buffer track 42; during the process of the pushing block 4311 moving from the track docking assembly 44 to the buffer track 42, the pushing block 4311 retracts under the control of the cylinder and is in the sixth state set at a distance from the cleaning frame 10.

[0118] During specific use, after the loaded cleaning frame 10 is on the buffer track 42, the push block 4311 pushes the cleaning frame 10 to move to the docking track 441; after the connector 442 is plugged into the cleaning frame 10 on the docking track 441, the push block 4311 moves toward the buffer track 42, and the guide slope 43111 rebounds and compresses the elastic part under the push of the side of the cleaning frame 10, sliding into contact with the side of the cleaning frame 10, and returning to its initial position.

[0119] In this embodiment, the push block 4311 is hinged at the telescopic end of the telescopic pushing component 431, and the push block 4311 is maintained in the fifth state of being engaged with the cleaning frame 10 through an elastic member, and in the process of the push block 4311 moving from the track docking assembly 44 toward the buffer track 42, the guide slope 43111 is pushed by the cleaning frame 10, and the push block 4311 has the sixth state of sliding contact with the cleaning frame 10, thereby enabling the cleaning frame 10 to be automatically transported from the buffer track 42 to the docking track 441, thereby saving manpower and improving automated operation.
