Then, the robot unit 1 drives the clamping unit 4 to move to the support unit 6. The inner lining sponge block 402 of the clamping unit 4 contacts the cleaning cloth. At this time, the inner support seat 603 descends to provide space for clamping, and the inner lining sponge block 402 presses down to wrap the cleaning cloth. Wrapped on the outside, the cleaning cloth is then clamped onto the inner lining sponge block 402 by the clamping column 407 driven by the clamping cylinder 404. Subsequently, the robot unit 1 moves the clamping unit 4 to the alcohol storage unit 8, where the cleaning cloth and the inner lining sponge block 402 are inserted into the alcohol storage cylinder 802 to absorb alcohol. The robot unit 1 then moves the clamping unit 4 to the battery box cover 11 for wiping. After wiping, the suction unit 9 absorbs the excess alcohol from the surface. Finally, the robot unit 1 moves the clamping unit 4 to the cloth replacement and recycling unit 7, where the inner lining sponge block 402 is inserted into the cloth guide cylinder 701, the clamping column 407 is released, and the blowing head 703 begins to blow, blowing the cleaning cloth down and collecting it in the recycling box 704, completing one cleaning operation. The robot unit 1 then resets.

[0064] This invention reduces the stress on the workpiece during cleaning, which helps protect the surface of the parts and reduces liquid splashing, thus achieving the goal of environmental protection. It has a simpler structure and lower cost, making it suitable for cleaning simple parts. It integrates multiple dedicated functional units to achieve full automation of the entire process, from picking up the cloth, clamping the cleaning cloth, applying alcohol, cleaning the battery box cover, to recycling the dirty cloth.

[0065] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner.
