A rhombic insertion rod 29 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting block 23. A positioning cylinder 30 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the mounting box 25. The rhombic insertion rod 29 is slidably installed inside the positioning cylinder 30, and a synchronous belt 31 is rotatably installed between the positioning cylinder 30 and the rotating cylinder 28. A fixed sleeve 32 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting box 25.

When the support rod 22 moves, the spiral groove on its outside can move along the outside of the spiral strip 33, and the support rod 22 can be in a rotating state.

[0025] Working principle: First, the staff separately installs multiple battery cells into the intervals between multiple guide bars 14, and the conveying platform 1 conveys the battery cells. When the battery cells move above the spray valve 9, the cleaning solution in the pressure barrel 13 is discharged from the spray valve 9, and the spray valve 9 sprays the cleaning solution on the liquid injection port of the battery cell. Then, the battery cell contacts the stop bar 4, and the reciprocating motor frame 6 drives the brush 3 to move reciprocally, so that the brush 3 reciprocally cleans the liquid injection port of the battery cell. The air storage tank 12 conveys air to the air knife 11, so that the air knife 11 blows and dries the liquid injection port of the battery cell. The electric telescopic rod 5 raises the stop bar 4, and the conveying platform 1 conveys the cleaned battery cells out of the machine, completing the cleaning of the battery cells. After the brush 3 has been used for a long time, the collaborative robotic arm 2 inserts the brush 3 into the cleaning box 7, and the brush 3 is inserted into the cleaning grid frame 20. When the brush 3 moves reciprocally, the soaking and scraping of the brush 3 are realized. Then, the brush 3 presses down the cleaning grid frame 20, so that the cleaning grid frame 20 moves downward along the outside of the insertion block 21. At the same time, the cleaning grid frame 20 pushes the support rod 22 downward. The spiral groove on the support rod 22 can move along the outside of the spiral bar 33, so that the support rod 22 is in a rotating state. The support rod 22 drives the rhombic insertion rod 29 to rotate through the mounting block 23. When the rhombic insertion rod 29 moves downward along the inside of the positioning cylinder 30, it drives the positioning cylinder 30 to rotate. The positioning cylinder 30 drives the rotating cylinder 28 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 31. The rotating cylinder 28 drives the fan blade 34 to rotate, stirring the water in the cleaning grid frame 20. At the same time, the mounting block 23 drives the pressing plate 27 downward, so that the pressing plate 27 compresses the elastic airbag 26. The elastic airbag 26 injects air into the rotating cylinder 28 through the hose, and the air is discharged from the aeration stone 37 at the top of the rotating cylinder 28. The impurities in the cleaning grid frame 20 can be quickly mixed with the water along with the bubbles. When the overflow hole of the cleaning grid frame 20 is aligned with the top of the insertion block 21, under the rotation of the fan blade 34, the sewage in the cleaning grid frame 20 can be in a flowing state and discharged from the overflow hole of the cleaning grid frame 20, avoiding the situation of impurities sinking to the bottom, and then entering the sewage discharge box 8 to complete the discharge of the sewage. Finally, using the resilience of the spring 24, the spring 24 pushes the mounting block 23 to reset, so that the cleaning grid frame 20 resets upward, and the water injection holes of the cleaning grid frame 20 are aligned. The water injection valve 40 injects water into the cleaning grid frame 20 to complete the water injection of the cleaning grid frame 20, thus achieving the effects of efficiently cleaning the liquid injection port of the battery cell and improving the durability of the brush 3.
