Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery production equipment technology, specifically to an automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the production process of charging and forming power lead-acid batteries uses an acid filling pot as an auxiliary tool in the battery charging process. Because the acid filling pot is used during both the acid filling and charging / discharging processes, and because power batteries generally use gel electrolytes, residual gel and other substances will remain inside the pot, requiring timely cleaning. Failure to clean it promptly will affect the acid filling and charging / discharging of the next batch of batteries, posing a potential quality risk.
[0003] The existing methods for cleaning acid injection tanks are as follows: One method involves manually immersing the acid injection tank in a clean water pool for cleaning, followed by rinsing with pure water before reuse. This method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and produces inconsistent cleaning quality and results, making it unsuitable for mass production.
[0004] Second, the acid injection tank is manually immersed in an ultrasonic cleaning tank for cleaning, and then rinsed with pure water before use. This method improves production efficiency, but the labor intensity for employees is high, and labor costs are relatively high.
[0005] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209998061U, entitled "A Cleaning Tank for Cleaning Battery Acid Filling Jars," discloses a cleaning tank for cleaning battery acid filling jars. However, it also requires manual cleaning and suffers from the same shortcomings.
[0006] Cleaning the acid filling tank is crucial in the battery manufacturing process. Traditional cleaning methods have many drawbacks, such as low efficiency, inconsistent cleaning quality and results, and unsuitability for mass production. To solve these problems, it is essential to design a highly efficient and automated automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks that can achieve automatic cleaning, which not only has high cleaning efficiency and low labor costs, but also effectively removes deposits such as lead sulfate from the inner wall of the battery acid filling tank, thus ensuring the cleaning quality and effect.
[0008] The technical solution of this invention is: An automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks includes: An ultrasonic heating immersion cleaning tank is equipped with a heater to heat the water inside the tank. Ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank; The suspended conveyor line includes several hanging components that run along a predetermined track. Removable acid filling tank placement frames are hung on these components. As the acid filling tank placement frames and hanging components move along the predetermined track, they sequentially pass through an ultrasonic heating and immersion primary cleaning tank and an ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank. The specific operation of an automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks according to this solution is as follows: The workers place the battery acid filling tank to be cleaned into the acid filling tank placement frame, and then hang the acid filling tank placement frame on the hanger. Next, a suspended conveyor line drives the acid-filling container holding the battery acid-filling tank along a predetermined track. During this process, the container first passes through an ultrasonically heated soaking tank. The hot water and ultrasonic waves in this tank effectively remove lead sulfate and other deposits from the inner wall of the tank. Then, the container undergoes a secondary ultrasonic cleaning process using water and ultrasound, ensuring the cleaning quality and effectiveness. In this automatic battery acid-filling tank cleaning system, operators only need to place the acid-filling tank in the container and hang it on a mounting bracket. The entire process requires minimal manual intervention, from conveying the tank to cleaning, significantly improving efficiency and reducing labor costs. Furthermore, it effectively removes lead sulfate and other deposits from the inner wall of the tank, ensuring high-quality cleaning.
[0009] Preferably, a draining station is also included, located between the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank and the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank. As the acid injection tank placement frame and hanger move along the predetermined track, the acid injection tank placement frame sequentially passes through the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank, the draining station, and the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank. In this way, after the acid injection tank placement frame containing the battery acid injection tank passes through the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank, the water carried by the placement frame can drip off at the draining station. This effectively reduces the amount of water carried from the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank into the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank, preventing contamination of the water in the secondary cleaning tank and thus improving the cleaning quality and effect of the battery acid injection tank in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank.
[0010] Preferably, the draining station is equipped with an upward-facing water collection trough located below the suspended conveyor line. This way, water dripping from the acid injection tank's placement frame as it passes through the draining station will fall into the water collection trough, preventing contamination of the equipment and surrounding area.
[0011] Preferably, the acid filling pot placement frame is equipped with an exhaust pipe and several vertical insertion tubes. The exhaust pipe includes a bottom pipe located at the bottom of the acid filling pot placement frame and a side pipe connected to the bottom pipe. The upper end of the side pipe is higher than the upper end of the vertical insertion tube. The lower end of each vertical insertion tube is connected to the bottom pipe. The bottom pipe is equipped with a float switch with its opening facing downward. The mouth of the battery acid filling pot is inserted into the vertical insertion tube with its opening facing downward, and the upper end of the vertical insertion tube is close to or abuts against the inner top wall of the battery acid filling pot. In actual operation, when the operators place the battery acid filling tanks to be cleaned in the acid filling tank placement frame, the tanks are placed irregularly, with some opening upwards, some downwards, and some lying flat. After the first ultrasonic heating and soaking cleaning tank, these tanks are filled with water from the first ultrasonic heating and soaking cleaning tank and sediment such as lead sulfate. Among them, the water and sediment in the tanks with the openings facing upwards and those lying flat cannot be effectively drained after the tanks leave the first ultrasonic heating and soaking cleaning tank. They will be carried into the second ultrasonic cleaning tank, contaminating the water in the second ultrasonic cleaning tank and affecting the cleaning quality and effect. Meanwhile, after the battery acid filling tanks leave the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank, the water and sediment such as lead sulfate washed out from these tanks, which are placed face up and lying flat, are difficult to drain effectively. This not only makes the placement frame containing the battery acid filling tanks heavy, making it difficult for operators to remove the frame from the hanger, but also requires manual cleaning of the water inside the tanks after removal, greatly increasing the labor intensity of the operators. To solve this problem, this solution improves the equipment, specifically... The battery acid filling pot is inserted downwards into the vertical insertion tube. During the process of immersing the battery acid filling pot in the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank, the float switch is in the closed state. Water can enter the battery acid filling pot through the pot opening, and the air inside the battery acid filling pot can be discharged through the vertical insertion tube and the exhaust pipe, so that water fills the battery acid filling pot, ensuring the cleaning effect of the battery acid filling pot in the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank and the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank.
[0012] After the battery acid filling tank leaves the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank, the float switch opens, and the water in the tank is discharged through the spout. Water in the vent pipe and vertical insertion pipe is also discharged through the float switch. This effectively prevents the battery acid filling tank from carrying water and lead sulfate deposits from the primary ultrasonic heating and soaking tank into the secondary ultrasonic cleaning tank, thus avoiding contamination of the water and affecting the cleaning quality and effect. Similarly, after the battery acid filling tank leaves the secondary ultrasonic cleaning tank, the water in the tank is promptly drained, allowing operators to easily remove the tank's placement frame from the hanger. This effectively avoids the problem of the heavy placement frame making it difficult for operators to remove the tank, and the need for manual cleaning of the tank after removal, which greatly increases the workload of the operators.
[0013] Preferably, the lower part of the vertical insertion tube is provided with several anti-detachment flexible parts, and the battery acid filling bottle is provided with a closing structure near the bottle opening. When the battery acid filling bottle is inserted into the vertical insertion tube with the bottle opening facing down, the anti-detachment flexible parts are located inside the battery acid filling bottle and abut against the inner wall of the closing structure to prevent the battery acid filling bottle from detaching from the vertical insertion tube. The trajectory of the acid-filling tank placement frame along a predetermined track within the ultrasonic heating and immersion primary cleaning tank includes a front track and a rear track, with the front track running diagonally downwards towards the bottom of the ultrasonic heating and immersion primary cleaning tank. Although the acid-filling tank placement frame is equipped with several vertical insertion tubes, in actual operation, due to operator negligence or failure to install the battery acid-filling tanks according to specifications, some battery acid-filling tanks are placed directly into the placement frame without being inserted into the vertical insertion tubes with the opening facing downwards as per specifications. This results in water in the battery acid-filling tanks not being effectively drained after leaving the ultrasonic heating and immersion primary cleaning tank, and being carried into the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank, contaminating the water in the secondary cleaning tank and affecting the cleaning quality and effect. To solve this problem, this solution further improves the equipment, specifically... During actual operation, the acid injection pot placement frame moves along the predetermined track in the ultrasonic heating immersion cleaning tank; If the operator inserts the battery acid filling pot with the spout facing down into the vertical insertion tube according to the specifications, the anti-detachment flexible part on the vertical insertion tube can prevent the battery acid filling pot from detaching from the vertical insertion tube, so that the battery acid filling pot moves together with the acid filling pot placement frame and leaves the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank at the same time, without affecting normal operation and cleaning. If a battery acid filler is placed directly into the acid filler placement frame (without being inserted into the vertical insertion tube with the opening facing downwards as per specifications), the battery acid filler will float up and detach from the placement frame during the initial trajectory of the placement frame (i.e., as it moves diagonally downwards towards the bottom of the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank). Battery acid fillers that are properly inserted into the vertical insertion tube with their openings facing downwards will remain (batteries not properly inserted into the vertical insertion tube will be kicked out of the placement frame). Thus, after the placement frame leaves the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank, all battery acid fillers in the placement frame will be distributed with their openings facing downwards, allowing water to drain out promptly. This effectively prevents the battery acid fillers from carrying water and lead sulfate deposits from the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank into the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank, thus avoiding contamination of the water in the secondary cleaning tank and affecting the cleaning quality and effect.
[0014] Preferably, the system also includes loading and unloading stations. During the movement of the acid injection tank placement frame and hanger along a predetermined track, the acid injection tank placement frame sequentially passes through an ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank, an ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank, and the loading and unloading station. At the loading and unloading station, operators hang the acid injection tank placement frame containing the battery acid injection tanks to be cleaned, and remove the acid injection tank placement frame containing the cleaned battery acid injection tanks.
[0015] Preferably, the trajectory of the acid injection pot placement frame running along the predetermined track in the ultrasonic heating immersion cleaning tank includes a front trajectory, a middle trajectory, and a rear trajectory, wherein the front trajectory runs obliquely downward toward the bottom of the ultrasonic heating immersion cleaning tank, the middle trajectory runs horizontally, and the rear trajectory runs obliquely upward.
[0016] Preferably, the trajectory of the acid injection pot placement frame running along the predetermined track in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank includes a front trajectory, a middle trajectory, and a rear trajectory, wherein the front trajectory runs obliquely downward towards the bottom of the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank, the middle trajectory runs horizontally, and the rear trajectory runs obliquely upward.
[0017] Preferably, the ultrasonic heating immersion cleaning tank is also equipped with a temperature sensor to detect the water temperature inside. In this way, the temperature sensor and the heater work together to maintain the water temperature within the ultrasonic heating immersion cleaning tank within a set range.
[0018] Preferably, the suspended conveyor line is a circular conveyor line, and the hanging parts are hooks or hanging rings.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it can realize the automatic cleaning of the battery acid filling tank, which not only has high cleaning efficiency and low labor cost, but also can effectively remove deposits such as lead sulfate on the inner wall of the battery acid filling tank, so as to ensure the cleaning quality and effect.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Specific Implementation Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks includes an ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1, an ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, and a suspended conveyor line 3.
[0026] The ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a heater for heating the water inside. In this embodiment, the heater is an electric heater and is located at the bottom of the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1. The water in the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1 is clean water, such as municipal water.
[0027] In this embodiment, the water in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 is pure water. It should be noted, however, that the water in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 can also be distilled water or tap water.
[0028] The suspended conveyor line 3 includes several hanging components 3.1 that run along a predetermined track. A removable acid-filling container frame 4 is hung on each hanging component 3.1. In this embodiment, the bottom and side walls of the acid-filling container frame 4 are hollow structures. During the movement of the acid-filling container frame 4 and the hanging components 3.1 along the predetermined track, the acid-filling container frame 4 sequentially passes through an ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1 and an ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2; that is, the acid-filling container frame 4 first passes through the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1, and then passes through the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2.
[0029] The specific operation of the automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks in this embodiment is as follows: The operator places the battery acid filling tank 11 to be cleaned into the acid filling tank placement frame 4 and places a cover plate inside the opening of the acid filling tank placement frame 4 to prevent the battery acid filling tank 11 from falling off the acid filling tank placement frame 4 during the subsequent process of the acid filling tank placement frame 4 entering the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 and ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2; then the acid filling tank placement frame 4 is hung on the hanger 3.1. Next, the suspended conveyor line 3 drives the acid filling container 4 containing the battery acid filling container 11 to run along the predetermined track. During this process, the acid filling container 4 containing the battery acid filling container 11 is first immersed in an ultrasonic heating cleaning tank 1. The battery acid filling container 11 is cleaned by the hot water and ultrasonic waves in the ultrasonic heating cleaning tank 1 (during this process, the battery acid filling container 11 is pressed down in the acid filling container 4 by the cover plate to prevent the battery acid filling container 11 from falling out of the acid filling container 4). The combination of hot water and ultrasonic waves can effectively remove deposits such as lead sulfate on the inner wall of the battery acid filling container 11. Then, the battery acid filling tank 11 undergoes a secondary cleaning in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, where pure water and ultrasonic waves are used in combination to ensure cleaning quality and effectiveness. In this embodiment, the automatic cleaning equipment for battery acid filling tanks allows operators to simply place the battery acid filling tank 11 to be cleaned in the acid filling tank placement frame 4, and then hang the frame 4 on the hanger 3.1. The entire cleaning process requires minimal manual intervention; from the conveying and cleaning of the acid filling tank, everything is automated, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and reducing labor costs. Furthermore, it effectively removes deposits such as lead sulfate from the inner wall of the battery acid filling tank 11, ensuring cleaning quality and effectiveness.
[0030] Specific embodiment two, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, an automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks includes an ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1, an ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, and a suspended conveyor line 3.
[0031] The ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a heater for heating the water inside. In this embodiment, the heater is an electric heater and is located at the bottom of the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1. The water in the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1 is clean water, such as municipal water.
[0032] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor is also installed inside the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1 to detect the water temperature inside the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1. Thus, by cooperating with the heater, the water temperature inside the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1 can be maintained within a set range.
[0033] In this embodiment, the water in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 is pure water. It should be noted, however, that the water in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 can also be distilled water or tap water.
[0034] The suspended conveyor line 3 includes several hanging components 3.1 that run along a predetermined track. A removable acid-filling container frame 4 is hung on each hanging component 3.1. In this embodiment, the bottom and side walls of the acid-filling container frame 4 are hollow structures. During the movement of the acid-filling container frame 4 and the hanging components 3.1 along the predetermined track, the acid-filling container frame 4 sequentially passes through an ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1 and an ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2; that is, the acid-filling container frame 4 first passes through the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1, and then passes through the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2.
[0035] In this embodiment, the trajectory of the acid injection vessel placement frame 4 along a predetermined track within the ultrasonically heated immersion cleaning tank 1 includes a front trajectory, a middle trajectory, and a rear trajectory. The front trajectory moves diagonally downwards towards the bottom of the ultrasonically heated immersion cleaning tank 1, the middle trajectory moves horizontally, and the rear trajectory moves diagonally upwards. This allows the acid injection vessel placement frame 4 to move completely submerged within the ultrasonically heated immersion cleaning tank 1.
[0036] The trajectory of the acid injection vessel placement frame 4 within the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 along a predetermined track includes a front trajectory, a middle trajectory, and a rear trajectory. The front trajectory moves diagonally downwards towards the bottom of the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, the middle trajectory moves horizontally, and the rear trajectory moves diagonally upwards. This allows the acid injection vessel placement frame 4 to move completely submerged within the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2.
[0037] The specific operation of the automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks in this embodiment is as follows: The water in the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 is heated by a heater. Simultaneously, a temperature sensor and heater work together to maintain the water temperature in the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 within a set range, for example, maintaining the water temperature in the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 between 40-60 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the ultrasonic cleaning devices in both the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 and the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 are activated.
[0038] The operator places the battery acid filling tank 11 to be cleaned into the acid filling tank placement frame 4 and places a cover plate inside the opening of the acid filling tank placement frame 4 to prevent the battery acid filling tank 11 from falling off the acid filling tank placement frame 4 during the subsequent process of the acid filling tank placement frame 4 entering the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 and ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2; then the acid filling tank placement frame 4 is hung on the hanger 3.1. Next, the suspended conveyor line 3 drives the acid filling container 4 containing the battery acid filling container 11 to run along a predetermined track. During this process, the acid filling container 4 containing the battery acid filling container 11 first passes through the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1. The battery acid filling container 11 is cleaned by the hot water and ultrasound in the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1 (during this process, the battery acid filling container 11 is pressed down in the acid filling container 4 by the cover plate to prevent the battery acid filling container 11 from falling out of the acid filling container 4). The combination of hot water and ultrasound can effectively remove deposits such as lead sulfate on the inner wall of the battery acid filling container 11. Then, the battery acid filling container 11 is cleaned a second time by the combination of pure water and ultrasound in the secondary ultrasonic cleaning tank 2, thereby ensuring the cleaning quality and effect. In this embodiment, an automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks allows operators to simply place the battery acid filling tank 11 to be cleaned into the acid filling tank placement frame 4, and then hang the placement frame 4 on the hanger 3.1. This completes the automatic cleaning of the battery acid filling tank 11. The entire cleaning process requires minimal human intervention, as the conveying and cleaning of the acid filling tank are all automated, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and reducing labor costs. Furthermore, it effectively removes deposits such as lead sulfate from the inner wall of the battery acid filling tank 11, ensuring cleaning quality and effectiveness.
[0039] In this embodiment, the suspended conveyor line 3 is a circular conveyor line. The hanging component 3.1 is a hook or a hanging ring.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, an automatic cleaning device for battery acid filling tanks also includes loading and unloading stations 6. In this embodiment, the loading and unloading stations 6 are located at the same position on the suspended conveyor line 3. Of course, the loading and unloading stations 6 can also be distributed as loading and unloading stations, and the loading and unloading stations are arranged at intervals along a predetermined track of the suspended conveyor line 3. During the operation of the acid filling tank placement frame 4 and the hanging piece 3.1 along the predetermined track, the acid filling tank placement frame 4 passes sequentially through the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1, the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, and the loading and unloading station 6. At the loading and unloading station 6, the operator hangs the acid filling tank placement frame 4 containing the battery acid filling tank 11 to be cleaned, and removes the acid filling tank placement frame 4 containing the cleaned battery acid filling tank 11.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an automatic cleaning device for battery acid charging tanks also includes a draining station 5. The draining station 5 is located between the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1 and the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2. During the operation of the acid charging tank placement frame 4 and the hanging component 3.1 along the predetermined track, the acid charging tank placement frame 4 passes sequentially through the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1, the draining station 5, the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, and the loading and unloading station 6. In this way, after the acid charging tank placement frame 4 containing the battery acid charging tank 11 passes through the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1, the water in the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1 carried by the acid charging tank placement frame 4 can drip off at the draining station 5, effectively reducing the amount of water carried by the acid charging tank placement frame 4 into the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1 into the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, avoiding contamination of the pure water in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, thereby improving the cleaning quality and effect of the battery acid charging tank 11 in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2.
[0042] In this embodiment, the draining station 5 is equipped with an upward-facing water receiving trough 5.1, which is located below the suspended conveyor line 3. This allows water dripping from the acid injection tank placement frame 4 as it passes through the draining station 5 to fall into the water receiving trough, preventing contamination of the equipment and surrounding area.
[0043] In this specific embodiment, the remaining structure is the same as in specific embodiment one or specific embodiment two, except that... In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the acid injection vessel placement frame 4 is equipped with an exhaust pipe and several vertical insertion tubes 7. The exhaust pipe includes a bottom pipe 8 located at the bottom of the acid injection vessel placement frame 4 and a side pipe 9 connected to the bottom pipe 8. The upper end of the side pipe 9 is higher than the upper end of the vertical insertion tubes 7. The lower end of each vertical insertion tube 7 is connected to the bottom pipe 8. A float switch 10 with its opening facing downwards is provided on the bottom pipe 8.
[0044] In this embodiment, there are several bottom pipes 8 arranged side by side, and each bottom pipe 8 is interconnected by a connecting pipe. Each bottom pipe 8 corresponds to several vertical insertion pipes 7. Each bottom pipe 8 corresponds to one or more exhaust pipes. The lower end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the corresponding bottom pipe 8.
[0045] A float switch 10 is installed on one of the bottom pipes 8. When the float switch 10 is submerged in water, it automatically closes; when the float switch 10 is above the water surface, it automatically opens. In this embodiment, the bottom pipe 8 has a downward-facing drain port 8.1. The float switch 10 includes a connecting sleeve 10.1 and a float 10.2 located within the connecting sleeve. The upper end of the connecting sleeve is sealed to the drain port, and the lower end of the connecting sleeve has a perforated blocking member 10.4. The upper part of the inner hole of the connecting sleeve has a conical hole 10.3 with a larger inner diameter at the bottom and a smaller inner diameter at the top. The float 10.2 is located between the conical hole and the perforated blocking member. The float and the conical hole cooperate to open and close the float switch 10. When the float switch 10 is submerged in water, the float rises and cooperates with the conical hole to close the float switch 10; when the float switch 10 is above the water surface, the float falls, causing the switch to open automatically. Of course, it should be noted that the above float switch 10 is only one implementation method of this embodiment, and the float switch 10 can also be other float switches 10 in the prior art.
[0046] In this embodiment, the bottom of the acid injection pot placement frame 4 is provided with several downward-extending support feet. When the acid injection pot placement frame 4 is placed on the floor, it is supported by the support feet to prevent the float switch 10 from contacting the floor.
[0047] The battery acid filler 11 is inserted into the vertical insertion tube 7 with its opening facing downwards. The upper end of the vertical insertion tube 7 is close to or abuts against the inner top wall of the battery acid filler 11. In this embodiment, the upper end of the vertical insertion tube 7 is located at the vent, and the upper end of the vertical insertion tube 7 abuts against the inner top wall of the battery acid filler 11.
[0048] During the process of ultrasonic heating and immersion in the primary cleaning tank 1 and the secondary ultrasonic cleaning tank 2, the upper end of the side pipe 9 is located above the water surface.
[0049] In actual operation, when the operator places the battery acid filling tanks 11 to be cleaned in the acid filling tank placement frame 4, the battery acid filling tanks 11 are placed irregularly. Some of the battery acid filling tanks 11 have their openings facing upwards, some have their openings facing downwards, and some are placed flat. After these battery acid filling tanks 11 have undergone ultrasonic heating and soaking in the primary cleaning tank 1, they are filled with water from the primary cleaning tank 1 and sediment such as lead sulfate that have been washed off. Among them, the water and sediment in the battery acid filling tanks 11 that have their openings facing upwards and those that have been washed off flat cannot be effectively drained after the battery acid filling tanks 11 leave the primary cleaning tank 1. They will be carried into the secondary ultrasonic cleaning tank 2, contaminating the pure water in the secondary ultrasonic cleaning tank 2 and affecting the cleaning quality and effect. Meanwhile, after the battery acid filling tanks 11 leave the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, the water and sediment such as lead sulfate washed out from these open and flat-lying battery acid filling tanks 11 are difficult to drain effectively. This not only makes the acid filling tank placement frame 4 containing the battery acid filling tanks 11 heavy, making it difficult for operators to remove the placement frame 4 from the hanger 3.1; but also requires manual cleaning of the water inside the battery acid filling tanks 11 after removal, greatly increasing the labor intensity of the operators. To solve this problem, this embodiment improves the equipment, specifically... The battery acid filling pot 11 is inserted into the vertical insertion tube 7 with its mouth facing downward. In order to prevent the battery acid filling pot 11 from falling off the acid filling pot placement frame 4 during the subsequent process of the acid filling pot placement frame 4 entering the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 and ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, a cover plate can be placed inside the mouth of the acid filling pot placement frame 4. During the process of immersing the battery acid filling tank 11 in the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1, the float switch 10 is in the closed state; water can enter the battery acid filling tank 11 through the inlet, and the air in the battery acid filling tank 11 can be discharged through the vertical insertion tube 7 and the exhaust pipe, so that water fills the battery acid filling tank 11, ensuring the cleaning effect of the battery acid filling tank 11 in the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 and the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2.
[0050] After the battery acid filling tank 11 leaves the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1, the float switch 10 opens, and the water in the battery acid filling tank 11 is discharged from the spout. Water in the vent pipe and vertical insertion pipe 7 is also discharged through the float switch 10. This effectively prevents the battery acid filling tank 11 from carrying water and lead sulfate deposits from the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 into the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, thus avoiding contamination of the pure water in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 and affecting the cleaning quality and effect. Similarly, after the battery acid filling tank 11 leaves... After the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, the water in the battery acid charging tank 11 will be drained in time, allowing the operator to easily remove the acid charging tank placement frame 4 containing the battery acid charging tank 11 from the hanger 3.1. This effectively avoids the problem that the heavy weight of the acid charging tank placement frame 4 containing the battery acid charging tank 11 makes it difficult for the operator to remove it from the hanger 3.1, and also avoids the need for manual cleaning of the water in the battery acid charging tank 11 after removal, which greatly increases the labor intensity of the operator.
[0051] Specific embodiment four, the rest of the structure of this embodiment is the same as specific embodiment three, the difference is that... In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the lower part of the vertical insertion tube 7 is provided with several anti-detachment flexible components 7.1. In this embodiment, the anti-detachment flexible components are made of flexible bristles. The battery acid filling pot 11 is provided with a constricting structure 11.1 near the pot opening. When the battery acid filling pot 11 is inserted into the vertical insertion tube 7 with its pot opening facing downwards, the anti-detachment flexible components are located inside the battery acid filling pot 11 and abut against the inner wall of the constricting structure to prevent the battery acid filling pot 11 from detaching from the vertical insertion tube 7.
[0052] The trajectory of the acid injection pot placement frame 4 running along the predetermined track in the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 includes a front trajectory and a rear trajectory, wherein the front trajectory runs obliquely downward towards the bottom of the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1.
[0053] Although the acid filling tank placement frame 4 is equipped with several vertical insertion tubes 7, in actual operation, due to operator negligence or failure to install the battery acid filling tanks 11 according to specifications, some of the battery acid filling tanks 11 are placed directly into the placement frame 4 instead of being inserted into the vertical insertion tubes 7 with the opening facing downwards. This results in the water in the battery acid filling tanks 11 not being effectively drained after they leave the ultrasonic heating and soaking primary cleaning tank 1, and being carried into the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, contaminating the pure water in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 and affecting the cleaning quality and effect. To solve this problem, this solution further improves the equipment, specifically... The battery acid filler 11 is inserted into the vertical insertion tube 7 with its opening facing downwards. At this time, the anti-detachment flexible component is located inside the battery acid filler 11 and abuts against the inner wall of the constriction structure to prevent the battery acid filler 11 from detaching from the vertical insertion tube 7. Therefore, it is not necessary to place a cover plate inside the opening of the acid filler placement frame 4.
[0054] Subsequently, during the process of the acid injection pot placement frame 4 running along the predetermined track in the ultrasonically heated soaking cleaning tank 1; If the operator inserts the battery acid filling pot 11 with the opening facing down into the vertical insertion tube 7 according to the specifications, the battery acid filling pot 11 can be prevented from detaching from the vertical insertion tube 7 by the anti-detachment flexible parts on the vertical insertion tube 7, so that the battery acid filling pot 11 moves together with the acid filling pot placement frame 4 and leaves the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1 at the same time, without affecting normal operation and cleaning. If a battery acid filler 11 is placed directly into the acid filler placement frame 4 (without being inserted into the vertical insertion tube 7 with the spout facing downwards as per specifications), then during the initial trajectory of the acid filler placement frame 4 (i.e., during the downward movement towards the bottom of the ultrasonic heating soaking cleaning tank 1), due to the presence of air inside the battery acid filler 11, the battery acid filler 11 will float up and detach from the acid filler placement frame 4. Only those battery acid fillers 11 that are inserted into the vertical insertion tube 7 with the spout facing downwards as per specifications will remain. The battery acid reservoir 11 on the insertion tube 7 is kicked out of the acid reservoir placement frame 4. In this way, after the acid reservoir placement frame 4 leaves the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1, the battery acid reservoirs 11 in the acid reservoir placement frame 4 are all distributed with their openings facing downwards, so that the water in the battery acid reservoirs 11 can be discharged in time. This effectively avoids the battery acid reservoirs 11 from bringing the water and sediment such as lead sulfate from the ultrasonic heating soaking primary cleaning tank 1 into the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2, which would contaminate the pure water in the ultrasonic secondary cleaning tank 2 and affect the cleaning quality and effect.
[0055] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, alterations, and equivalent transformations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
