[0002] The formation of lead-acid batteries refers to the charging and discharging process during battery production in order to enable the active materials (lead and lead oxide) of the battery to form effective chemical reactions. The formation process of lead-acid batteries not only involves the conversion of active materials in the battery, but also requires attention to the cleaning of structures and equipment related to the battery. During the cleaning process, acidic gases may be released due to the presence of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte, which poses a safety hazard under certain conditions.

[0011] As preferred, the cover assembly comprises: an isolation channel installed on the protection cover and provided with a conveying belt for conveying the battery shell; a storage box installed at the top of the isolation channel; a mounting frame moving in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction inside the isolation channel; a rotating frame rotating at the side of the storage box and realizing step-by-step discharging action of the blocking cover by means of a sliding top rod sliding on the rotating frame and the storage box; a piston cylinder installed on the mounting frame and realizing pushing discharging action of the blocking cover by means of a discharging plate installed at the bottom end thereof; a sleeve shell installed inside the mounting frame, the sleeve shell being communicated with the piston cylinder by means of a pipe and realizing driving movement of the discharging plate by means of a piston rod one vertically and elastically sliding inside the sleeve shell; and a top block elastically slidingly arranged inside the mounting frame.

[0013] Preferably, the upper assembly includes: a feed pipe, which is installed on a sealed channel and works with a vibrating box that slides vertically and elastically on the sealed channel to feed the plug; a pusher pipe, which is installed on the sealed channel and works with a stop block that slides vertically and elastically on it to block the plug; a cylinder shell, which is installed on the sealed channel and has ventilation holes; a piston frame, which is slidably disposed inside the cylinder shell and works with a suction cup installed at the end of the piston frame to push and adsorb the plug; a stop frame, which is elastically slidably disposed inside the pusher pipe and works with a push rod installed thereon to be pushed; and a moving rod, which is disposed on the side of the suction cup.

[0014] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes: a fixed shell installed below the pusher tube; a feeding tube installed at the top of the fixed shell and adapted to the limiting cylinder; a limiting ring installed inside the fixed shell and, in conjunction with a pusher frame that rotates elastically at the center of the fixed shell, actuating the cap; long and short push plates installed at the bottom of the pusher frame and, in conjunction with long and short push plates mounted on the moving rod, actuating the rotation of the pusher frame; an upper mounting plate vertically sliding inside the feeding tube; and a second piston rod sliding inside the limiting cylinder.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) In this invention, the acid gas is effectively isolated by placing the parts to be cleaned in the sealed channel 1214 and the isolation channel 151 for separation and cleaning, thus realizing batch operation, reducing manual contact, and greatly improving the safety of operation.

[0016] (2) In this invention, the clamping assembly clamps both sides of the acid nozzle and the acid bottle, ensuring the stability of the clamping. In addition, the separation assembly facilitates the subsequent separation of the acid nozzle and the acid bottle, allowing the connection between the battery shell and the acid nozzle to be directly exposed. It also facilitates the rapid entry of cleaning fluid into the interior of the acid nozzle and the acid bottle, improving the cleanliness and consistency of the cleanliness in all areas. It also facilitates the contact of hot air with the acid nozzle and the acid bottle, improving the drying efficiency. Furthermore, the separated acid nozzle and the acid bottle are immediately released from the clamp and placed into the ultrasonic cleaning box below, reducing the dispersion of acidic gas. The separation of the acid nozzle and the acid bottle is completed by the relative squeezing of the baffle to move the plate. The release of the clamp is completed by the traction of the guide rail during the movement of the guide rod. No sensor is required, avoiding acid mist condensation and dust that may cause separation and contact clamping at the wrong position, thus ensuring the stability of the device operation.

[0017] (3) In this invention, the acid nozzle and acid bottle are placed into the receiving frame for cleaning, which facilitates the transfer of the acid nozzle and acid bottle in multiple cleaning processes. At the same time, the centralized cleaning and drying of a relatively small number of acid nozzles and acid bottles makes it easy to find them when assembling them before reuse. When the receiving frame is cleaned and transferred to the next cleaning location, the connecting plate clamps the receiving frame and drives the receiving frame to rise and rotate, reducing the liquid carried on the receiving frame and the acid nozzle and acid bottle inside, thereby reducing the contamination of the solution in the next cleaning location or improving the efficiency of removing the residual solution from the previous process. The isolation cover can prevent liquid from splashing onto the surrounding equipment when the receiving frame, acid nozzle and acid bottle are thrown, and can continuously inject gas into the isolation cover to remove the acid gas inside the isolation cover. Similarly, gas can be continuously injected into the drying box to squeeze out the acid gas inside the drying box. During drying, the acid gas in the space formed by the isolation cover and the drying box is greatly reduced, so as to alleviate the acid gas leakage during the process of transferring the dried receiving frame and internal structure.

[0018] (4) In this invention, by squeezing and pushing the plug cap onto the housing, external water or gas is prevented from entering the space formed by the housing and the top of the sealing plate, and the air inside the cylinder is restricted from being compressed, so that a positive pressure is formed in the space formed by the housing and the sealing plate. Under the action of this positive pressure and elasticity, the sealing plate further ensures the stability of its position during the cleaning process. Since this part of the space does not involve contact with acid liquid and acid gas during use, the plug cap is installed on the housing before the acid nozzle is separated from the battery housing, ensuring that this part of the space will not be contaminated by acid gas or liquid during the cleaning process.

[0019] In summary, this equipment has the advantages of high safety, cleanliness and efficiency, and stable operation. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 21 As shown, a cleaning device for adding acid to a storage battery includes: The cleaning mechanism 1 includes a conveying assembly 11 for conveying the battery case 3, a clamping assembly 12 mounted on the conveying assembly 11, a separating assembly 13 mounted inside the clamping assembly 12, a cleaning assembly 14 mounted inside the clamping assembly 12, a capping assembly 15 mounted on the conveying assembly 11, and a scrubbing assembly 16 mounted on the capping assembly 15. During cleaning, the conveying component 11 moves the battery case 3, acid filling nozzle 4, and acid filling bottle 5 from bottom to top into a sealed channel connected to the clamping component 12. The clamping component 12 separates the battery case 3 from the acid filling nozzle 4. Then, the separation component 13 moves the acid filling nozzle 4 and acid filling bottle 5 to the cleaning component 14 for separation and placement into the cleaning component 14. The cleaning component 14 cleans and shakes the acid filling nozzle 4 and acid filling bottle 5 and finally dries them. At the same time, the conveying component 11 moves the battery case 3 into a sealed channel connected to the capping component 15. Then, the capping component 15 installs the cap 6 onto the battery case 3 and conveys it to the washing component 16 for washing. It also includes a cap-end upper device 2, which includes: Upper assembly 21, which is mounted on clamping assembly 12; and Adjustment component 22 is mounted on the upper assembly 21 and located inside the clamping assembly 12; During cleaning, the upper assembly 21 pushes the disordered caps 7 vertically toward the position of the adjustment assembly 22, and the adjustment assembly 22 adjusts the openings of the caps 7 to the side away from the upper assembly 21. Then, it is installed into the clamping assembly 12, and the caps 7 are installed on the acid filling nozzle 4 before the acid filling nozzle 4 is separated from the battery case 3, while the inside of the acid filling nozzle 4 is under positive pressure.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that the acid filling nozzle 4 includes a housing 41 that is snapped onto the liquid filling port of the battery housing 3, an acid tube 42 that is fixedly installed inside the housing 41, a sealing plate 43 that is elastically slidably disposed on the inner wall of the housing 41 and the outer wall of the acid tube 42, a fixing ring 44 installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 41, a retaining ring 45 installed on the outer wall of the acid tube 42, and a through groove 46 opened in the inner wall of the housing 41; the plug cap 7 is movably snapped onto the housing 41, the plug cover 6 is movably snapped onto the top of the battery housing 3, and the acid filling bottle 5 is movably snapped onto the top of the housing 41.

[0045] When the acid nozzle 4 is working, when the vacuum is started, the cavity above the sealing plate 43 is initially under negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, the sealing plate 43 slides upward. When the sealing plate 43 slides upward to the retaining ring 45, it is stopped. At this time, the outer wall of the sealing plate 43 is in the through groove 46. The air in the fixing ring 44 and the battery case 3 enters the space above the sealing plate 43 through the through groove 46 and is drawn away by the vacuum device. When the preset vacuum degree is reached, the vacuum device is turned off. At this time, the sealing plate 43 slides downward due to the elasticity and abuts against the upper end face of the fixing ring 44, separating the inside of the fixing ring 44 from the space above the sealing plate 43. At this time, sulfuric acid is added to the battery through the acid pipe 42. Due to the obstruction of the sealing plate 43, neither acid nor acid gas will enter the space above the sealing plate 43.

[0046] It should be noted that the battery acidification cleaning equipment in this embodiment also includes a frame and a drive mechanism. The cleaning mechanism 1 and the capping cap mounting mechanism 2 are both installed on the frame. The drive mechanism consists of a corrosion-resistant plastic centrifugal fan, an air pump, an electric telescopic rod, a water pump, a hydraulic rod, a cylinder, a vibration motor, and several servo motors. This battery acidification cleaning equipment also includes a host computer controller to control the operation of various components. The frame, drive mechanism, and controller are common knowledge to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] In this embodiment, preferably, as follows: Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the conveying assembly 11 includes: a conveyor belt 111, one end of which is installed inside a protective cover 114; a guide plate 112, which is installed on top of the conveyor belt 111; a separator 113, which is rotatably disposed inside the protective cover 114; and a limiting frame 115, which is installed on the separator 113.

[0048] The clamping assembly 12 includes: a sealed channel 1214, which is mounted on a protective cover 114; two lifting blocks 122, which move horizontally and vertically within the sealed channel 1214 via a moving unit; a pressing block 123, which is vertically and elastically slidably disposed within the lifting blocks 122; and a guide rod 124, which is elastically slidably disposed within the lifting blocks 122 and cooperates with an insert rod 125 elastically slidably disposed therein to limit the movement of the pressing block 123; and a bearing. The receiving rod 127 is horizontally slidably mounted on the lifting block 122, and cooperates with the transmission rod 126, which is rotatably connected at both ends to the top of the extrusion block 123 and the bottom of the receiving rod 127 respectively, to achieve the action of pulling the receiving rod 127 to slide; the clamping frame 128 is vertically elastically slidable above the receiving rod 127; and the gripper 129 is mounted on one of the receiving rods 127, and cooperates with the limiting cylinder 1210 mounted on the other receiving rod 127 to achieve the action of clamping the acid nozzle 4.

[0049] The separation assembly 13 includes: a cam 131, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the receiving rod 127; a toggle plate 132, which is mounted on the side of the cam 131 and cooperates with a baffle 133 mounted on the inner wall of the sealing channel 1214 to achieve the toggle action of the cam 131; and a guide rail 134, which is mounted on the inner wall of the sealing channel 1214 and is adapted to the guide rod 124.

[0050] Furthermore, preferably, a telescopic rubber protective sleeve is installed on the outside of the elastic element that slides elastically in the corresponding clamping frame 128 to reduce the corrosion of the elastic element by the acid gas escaping from the battery case 3, the acid nozzle 4 and the acid bottle 5. The moving unit includes a moving frame 121 that is horizontally slidably disposed in the sealed channel 1214, gears 1211 that are rotatably disposed at both ends of the moving frame 121 and the transfer rod 141, racks 1212 that are installed on both sides inside the sealed channel 1214 and mesh with the gears 1211, and rollers 1213 that are rotatably disposed on the moving frame 121 and the transfer rod 141 and rolled in the sealed channel 1214. Preferably, the lifting block 122 is vertically slidably mounted below the movable frame 121 by means of an electric telescopic rod, and the outside of the electric telescopic rod should be equipped with a telescopic rubber protective sleeve to reduce the corrosion caused by acid gas. It is worth mentioning that the vertical cross-section of the inner cavity of the limiting cylinder 1210 is close to a circle, and the cross-sectional area of ​​this cross-section is larger than the vertical cross-sectional area of ​​the horizontally arranged pipe for evacuation on the housing 41, so as to accommodate the limiting cylinder 1210 being obliquely fitted onto the outside of the horizontally arranged pipe for evacuation on the housing 41. In addition, a rubber ring is provided at the end of the limiting cylinder 1210 so that when the limiting cylinder 1210 abuts against the outside of the housing 41, the gas inside the limiting cylinder 1210 will not leak from its end. Preferably, both the sealed channel 1214 and the protective cover 114 are provided with pipes for removing and replacing the internal air, and these pipes are connected to a corrosion-resistant plastic centrifugal fan.

[0051] In this embodiment, preferably, the guide plate 112 can calibrate the battery position, so that the battery can be automatically inserted into the limiting frame 115 during the conveyor, without the need for manual precise placement of the battery case 3 on the conveyor belt 111, thus improving the convenience of employees placing the battery case 3. Relying on mechanical transmission, when the lifting block 122 moves downward, it will squeeze the squeezing block 123, thereby clamping the acid nozzle 4 and the acid bottle 5. This reduces the number of power components, sensors and corresponding control circuits, making it suitable for acid mist environments that are prone to failure of electric or pneumatic components, and reducing the maintenance frequency of the equipment. Next, the staff places the battery casing 3, acid filling nozzle 4, and acid filling bottle 5, from bottom to top, onto the conveyor belt 111. The drive mechanism controls the conveyor belt 111 to move the battery casing 3 through the guide plate 112 to the limiting frame 115. Then, the drive mechanism controls the separator frame 113 to rotate 90 degrees, transferring the battery casing 3 to a position communicating with the sealed channel 1214. The drive mechanism controls the gear 1211 to rotate relative to the rack 1212, causing the moving frame 121 to move to the corresponding positions on both sides of the battery casing 3. Then, the lifting block 122 is controlled to move downwards. The movement causes the extrusion block 123 to be compressed and moved upward relative to the lifting block 122. With the cooperation of the transmission rod 126, the two receiving rods 127 move closer together. During this process, the two clamping frames 128 clamp the acid bottle 5. The limiting cylinder 1210 is fitted onto the outside of the transverse tube on the housing 41 and moves diagonally downward relative to the transverse tube. Finally, the end of the limiting cylinder 1210 abuts against the outer wall of the housing 41, cooperating with the gripper 129 to complete the clamping of the acid nozzle 4. At this time, the insertion rod 125 is aligned with the hole on the extrusion block 123, and under the elastic force of the insertion rod 125, it is inserted into the extrusion block 123. Inside 3, the piston rod 229 pushes the cap 7 inside the limiting cylinder 1210, causing the cap 7 to engage with the housing 41. Then, the lifting block 122 is controlled to move upward, separating the acid filling nozzle 4 from the battery housing 3. Subsequently, the drive mechanism controls the acid filling nozzle 4 and the acid filling bottle 5 to move into the sealed channel 1214. Then, the acid filling nozzle 4 and the acid filling bottle 5 are controlled to move onto the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1411. During this process, the actuating plate 132 is pushed relative to the baffle 133, causing the cam 131 to rotate. The guide rod 124 is pulled by the guide rail 134, causing the guide rod 124 to move towards the squeeze. As the pressure block 123 slides outward, it gradually causes the insertion rod 125 to leave the pressure block 123. When the acid nozzle 4 and the acid bottle 5 are directly above the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1411, the cam 131 rotates until the corresponding acid nozzle 4 and acid bottle 5 separate. The two guide rods 124 closest to the protective cover 114 slide to the maximum extent outward from the pressure block 123, and the corresponding insertion rod 125 leaves the pressure block 123. At this time, all pressure blocks 123 are released from restriction, and under their own elastic force, the two receiving rods 127 move away from each other, releasing the clamping of the acid nozzle 4 and acid bottle 5.

[0052] Preferred, such as Figures 10 to 12As shown, the cleaning assembly 14 includes: a transfer rod 141, which moves horizontally within the sealed channel 1214 via a moving unit; an isolation cover 144, installed at the bottom of the transfer rod 141; an air jet pipe 143, installed on the top of the inner wall of the isolation cover 144 and connected to an air hose reel 142 installed on the sealed channel 1214 via a pipe; a connecting plate 145, which slides vertically and rotates within the isolation cover 144; a torsion rod 146, installed on the top of the connecting plate 145, with its top end penetrating through the isolation cover 144 and the transfer rod 141. The torsion rod 146, in conjunction with an adapter ring 147 installed on the top of the transfer rod 141, enables the connecting plate 145 to rotate synchronously during its lifting and lowering process; and an ultrasonic cleaning box. Ultrasonic cleaning box 1411 is installed inside sealed channel 1214, and ultrasonic cleaning box 1412, water rinsing box 1413 and drying box 1415 are sequentially arranged along the length of the bottom of sealed channel 1214; receiving frame 1410 is compatible with ultrasonic cleaning box 1411, ultrasonic cleaning box 1412, water rinsing box 1413 and drying box 1415; U-shaped shell 148 is installed at the bottom of connecting plate 145, and clamping plate 149 is slidably arranged on it to clamp the receiving frame 1410; water pipe 1414 is installed inside water rinsing box 1413; and sliding sealing frame 1416 is slidably arranged inside drying box 1415.

[0053] Furthermore, preferably, the connecting plate 145 includes a disk and an L-shaped frame that slides circumferentially on the disk via a rolling ball. The L-shaped frame is connected to the transfer rod 141 via an electric telescopic rod.

[0054] In this embodiment, preferably, the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1411 contains an alkaline solution to neutralize residual strong acid and promote the chemical transformation of insoluble crystals, making them loose. The ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1412 contains hot water, which quickly removes most of the alkaline solution and the removed dirt. At the same time, the heat maintains the workpiece temperature, prevents the crystals from recrystallizing, and prepares for subsequent rinsing. The running water rinsing chamber 1413 uses continuously flowing clean water to reduce the concentration of ions on the workpiece surface to an extremely low level, achieving the cleanliness standard. Finally, the workpiece is dried in the drying chamber 1415. Through multiple processes, the cleanliness of the acid nozzle 4 and the acid bottle 5 is improved. A rubber ring is provided on the drying chamber 1415. When the bottom of the isolation cover 144 abuts against the top of the drying chamber 1415, the exchange of air between the space formed by the isolation cover 144 and the drying chamber 1415 and the sealed channel 1214 can be reduced, thereby reducing the possibility of acid gas entering the space and reducing the possibility of acid gas leakage when the cleaned acid nozzle 4 and acid bottle 5 are removed, thus ensuring the safety of equipment cleaning. Furthermore, after the acid filling nozzle 4 and acid filling bottle 5 are separated and released from clamping above the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1411, they fall into the receiving frame 1410. Then, the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1411 is controlled to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the acid filling nozzle 4 and acid filling bottle 5. At this time, the moving frame 121 moves towards the protective cover 114, and the transfer rod 141 moves above the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1411. Then, the connecting plate 145 descends, causing the U-shaped shell 148 to fit over the edge of the receiving frame 1410. Finally, the drive mechanism controls the clamping plate 149. The receiving frame 1410 is clamped. After the acid nozzle 4 and acid bottle 5 are cleaned, the drive mechanism controls the connecting plate 145 to rise. Subsequently, under the influence of the torsion rod 146 and the adapter ring 147, the connecting plate 145 rotates, thereby swinging the receiving frame 1410 and the acid nozzle 4 and acid bottle 5 inside it to dehydrate. Then, the drive mechanism controls the transfer rod 141 to move to the corresponding position of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1412. Then, the connecting plate 145 puts the receiving frame 1410 into the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1412 for hot water cleaning. After cleaning, repeat the above operation, transferring the receiving frame 1410 to the water rinsing box 1413 for water rinsing, and finally transferring the receiving frame 1410 to the drying box 1415 for drying. During the transfer, the jet pipe 143 sprays a large amount of gas into the isolation cover 144 to expel the air originally inside the isolation cover 144. At the same time, gas is sprayed into the sealing channel 1214 from the drying box 1415 to squeeze out the air inside the drying box 1415. Then, when the isolation cover 144 is attached to the drying box 1415... The hot air inside the drying oven 1415 and the lifting and lowering of the connecting plate 145 cause the receiving frame 1410 to swing, thus drying the acid nozzle 4 and the acid bottle 5. After drying, the clamping plate 149 leaves the receiving frame 1410 to release its clamping, pushes the sliding sealing frame 1416 to remove the dried receiving frame 1410 along with its internal parts, and prevents the new receiving frame 1410 from entering the drying oven 1415. Then, the connecting plate 145 clamps the new receiving frame 1410 and puts it back into the ultrasonic cleaning box 1411.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figures 13 to 15As shown, the sealing assembly 15 includes: an isolation channel 151, which is mounted on the protective cover 114 and has a conveyor belt 1510 for conveying the battery casing 3 inside; a storage bin 152, which is mounted on top of the isolation channel 151; a mounting frame 153, which moves horizontally and vertically within the isolation channel 151; and a rotating frame 154, which rotates on the side of the storage bin 152 and cooperates with a sliding top rod 155 that slides on the rotating frame 154 and the storage bin 152. The following are the steps for discharging the plug 6: Piston cylinder 156, which is mounted on the mounting frame 153 and works with the discharge plate 1511 mounted at its bottom to push the plug 6 to discharge; Housing 157, which is installed inside the mounting frame 153 and is connected to the piston cylinder 156 through a pipe, and works with the piston rod 158, which slides vertically and elastically inside the housing 157, to drive the discharge plate 1511 to move; and Top block 159, which is elastically and slidably disposed inside the mounting frame 153.

[0056] The washing assembly 16 includes: a rinsing pipe 161, which is installed inside the isolation channel 151; a first washing roller 162, which is rotatably disposed inside the isolation channel 151; a second washing roller 163, which is vertically rotatably disposed inside the isolation channel 151 and rotates simultaneously via a transmission unit; and a barrier plate 165, which is horizontally slidably disposed inside the isolation channel 151. Furthermore, the transmission unit includes sprockets 164 respectively installed at the top of the second washing roller 163, and the sprockets 164 are configured via chain drive; It is worth mentioning that when the cover 6 is placed on top of the battery case 3, the cover 6 will be at least one centimeter higher than the highest surface of the battery case 3, so that the battery case 3 can be moved by the movement of the mounting frame 153. The bottom of the isolation channel 151 should be connected by a pipe to water for storing and recycling the cleaned battery casing 3.

[0057] In this embodiment, preferably, the capping assembly 15 can be used to install the plug 6 onto the battery case 3, reducing the dispersion of acid gas inside the battery case 3 and preventing water mist from entering the battery case 3 during subsequent cleaning and causing contamination of the internal acid liquid. The top and sides of the battery case 3 can be cleaned by the rinsing pipe 161 and the washing roller 162. Subsequently, the baffle plate 165 can block water mist and gas, improving the efficiency of drying the outside of the battery case 3. The isolation channel 151 is provided with a sealed door at the end away from the protective cover 114 to facilitate the operator to take out the cleaned battery case 3. In addition, an exhaust pipe is provided in this area to remove and replace the acid gas in this area, reducing acid gas leakage. Furthermore, the drive mechanism controls the corresponding rotating frame 154 to rotate, causing the upper sliding top rod 155 to move into the storage bin 152 and the lower sliding top rod 155 to move outward, causing the bottommost cover 6 in the storage bin 152 to descend into the mounting frame 153 and be received by the top block 159. After the separator frame 113 transfers the battery to the position of the corresponding isolation channel 151, the mounting frame 153 is controlled to move above the battery case 3 and then descend, causing the piston rod 158 to be squeezed by the battery case 3 and move into the sleeve 157, compressing the air in the sleeve 157. This compresses the air in the sleeve 157, which in turn causes the piston cylinder 156 to extend through the pipe, causing the discharge plate 1511 to gradually approach the cover 6 in the mounting frame 153. When the bottom of the mounting frame 153 is attached to the top of the battery case 3, the discharge plate 1511 compresses... The plug 6 is tightly sealed onto the battery case 3, and the top block 159 is squeezed into the mounting frame 153. Then, the mounting frame 153 is controlled to pull the battery case 3 into the isolation channel 151 by pulling the plug 6. After the battery case 3 moves into the isolation channel 151, the flushing pipe 161 flushes the outside of the battery case 3. Then, the first washing roller 162 wipes and cleans the top of the battery case 3, and the second washing roller 163 wipes and cleans the sides of the battery case 3. After the battery case 3 has completely passed through the barrier plate 165, the barrier plate 165 divides the space in the isolation channel 151. Then, hot air is introduced into the side where the battery case 3 is located to dry the battery case 3, while the gas is extracted to remove acid gas. After drying, the operator can open the sealed door and remove the battery case 3.

[0058] In this application, as Figures 16 to 21 As shown, the upper assembly 21 includes: a feed pipe 212, which is installed on the sealed channel 1214 and works with a vibrating box 211 that slides vertically and elastically on the sealed channel 1214 to feed the cap 7; a pusher pipe 213, which is installed on the sealed channel 1214 and works with a stop block 214 that slides vertically and elastically on it to block the cap 7; a cylinder shell 216, which is installed on the sealed channel 1214 and has a vent hole 218; a piston frame 217, which is slidably disposed inside the cylinder shell 216 and works with a suction cup 215 installed at the end of the piston frame 217 to push and adsorb the cap 7; a stop frame 219, which is elastically slidably disposed inside the pusher pipe 213 and works with a pusher rod 2110 installed on it to be pushed; and a moving rod 2111, which is installed on the side of the suction cup 215. The adjustment assembly 22 includes: a fixed housing 221, which is installed below the push tube 213; a feeding tube 222, which is installed at the top of the fixed housing 221 and is adapted to the limiting cylinder 1210; a limiting ring 223, which is installed inside the fixed housing 221 and works with the push frame 225 at the center of the fixed housing 221 to move the cap 7; long and short push plates 226, which are installed at the bottom of the push frame 225 and work with the long and short push plates 228 installed on the moving rod 2111 to rotate the push frame 225; an upper mounting plate 227, which is vertically slidably disposed inside the feeding tube 222; and a second piston rod 229, which is slidably disposed inside the limiting cylinder 1210.

[0059] Furthermore, when the suction cup 215 is pushed to the bottom of the plug 7 below the feed pipe 222, the piston frame 217 just passes the vent hole 218, which releases the negative pressure inside the suction cup 215, the cylinder shell 216 and the piston frame 217; the inside of the suction cup 215, the piston frame 217 and the cylinder shell 216 are interconnected.

[0060] In this embodiment, preferably, the upper assembly 21, together with the adjustment assembly 22, can transport the disordered caps 7 into the limiting cylinder 1210 with the opening close to the gripper 129. Then, during the process of the upper assembly 21 pushing the caps 7, the reverse caps 7 fall into the adjustment assembly 22 and are corrected to be in the correct direction. As a result, all the caps 7 in the final upper assembly are kept in the correct direction, eliminating the need for the operator to arrange the caps 7 one by one, thus reducing the operator's workload. Furthermore, the drive mechanism controls the vibration box 211 to vibrate, causing the plug 7 inside to fall vertically into the feed pipe 212, and then into the push pipe 213 where it is blocked by the stop block 214. Subsequently, the drive mechanism controls the moving rod 2111 to drive the suction cup 215 to push the plug 7. If the opening of the plug 7 is facing the adjustment component 22, during the process of the suction cup 215 pushing the plug 7 to overcome the obstruction of the stop block 214, the suction cup 215 and the plug 7 form a sealed space, creating a negative pressure inside the plug 7, suction cup 215, piston frame 217, and plug 6. Consequently, the plug 7 is attracted to the suction cup 215. When the plug 7 is pushed below the feed pipe 222, the piston frame 217 just passes the vent 218, releasing the negative pressure inside the suction cup 215, cylinder shell 216, and piston frame 217. When the cap 7 falls onto the upper plate 227, it awaits the upper assembly. Conversely, if the cap 7 is not properly attached, the suction cup 215 cannot form a sealed space due to its irregular edges, thus failing to adsorb the cap 7. When the cap 7 is pushed to the upper entrance of the fixed housing 221, it falls into the fixed housing 221. During the pushing process, the long and short push plates 228 push the long and short lever plates 226, causing the push frame 225 to generate rotational force. When the cap 7 falls into the fixed housing 221 and the suction cup 215 returns to its original position, the push frame 225 moves the cap 7 above the upper plate 227. Finally, the upper plate 227 lifts the cap 7 upward into the limiting cylinder 1210, and then pushes it through the piston rod 229 to store it in the limiting cylinder 1210 for use.

[0061] Work steps Step 1, the disassembly process: the conveying component 11 conveys the battery case 3, the acid filling nozzle 4 and the acid filling bottle 5 to the corresponding clamping component 12. Then, the clamping component 12 clamps the acid filling nozzle 4 and the acid filling bottle 5, and the piston rod 229 installs the plug 7 onto the acid filling nozzle 4. Then, the clamping component 12 pulls up to separate the acid filling nozzle 4 from the battery case 3. Step 2: Disassembly and cleaning process. Clamping component 12 moves battery case 3 and acid nozzle 4 to the top of ultrasonic cleaning box 1411. At the same time, separation component 13 separates battery case 3 and acid nozzle 4 and releases the clamps on battery case 3 and acid nozzle 4, allowing them to fall into receiving frame 1410. Then, cleaning component 14 cleans and dries battery case 3 and acid nozzle 4 one by one. Step 3: Cap installation. After the battery case 3 and the acid filling nozzle 4 are separated in step 2, the moving frame 121 stops when it passes the cap installation mechanism 2 during the reset process. The cap installation mechanism 2 puts the disordered caps 7 into the limiting cylinder 1210 with the opening facing the clamp 129. Then, the caps 7 are kept in the limiting cylinder 1210 by the push of the piston rod 229. Step 4: Battery casing cleaning. After step 1 is completed, the conveying component 11 carries the remaining battery casing 3 and rotates it to the position of the corresponding sealing component 15. Then, the sealing component 15 installs the plug 6 onto the battery casing 3 and pulls the battery casing 3 into the isolation channel 151. Then, the washing component 16 cleans and dries the battery casing 3.
