[0023] Embodiment:

[0024] See attached Figures 1 to 3 An energy - saving soft - package battery cleaning device provided in this embodiment includes a battery conveying part. Specifically, the battery conveying part is connected by a cooperation of a conveying plate 2 and a conveying slider guide rail 3. The guide rail is fixed on the ground, the slider is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the slider is fixedly connected to the conveying plate 2. The conveying plate 2 is driven to move by an externally connected driving motor. A battery limiting component is provided on the conveying plate 2 to limit the battery and prevent it from shifting during conveying, and at the same time, it cooperates with a battery clamp 5 to accurately complete the clamping of the battery.

[0025] The battery clamping part mainly includes a clamp 5 and a clamping driving mechanism for driving the clamp 5 to clamp the battery. The clamping driving mechanism includes a support block 6 and a movable slider guide rail 8 connected to both sides of the support block 6. The guide rails are respectively fixed on both sides of the support block 6, and sliders are slidably connected to the guide rails. The sliders on the two sides of the guide rails are fixedly connected to the support plate 7. The support plates 7 on both sides of the support block 6 can be moved by the slide rails, and their moving direction is consistent with the moving direction of the transmission plate 2, that is, the arrangement direction of the support plate 7 and the support block 6 is the same as the moving direction of the transmission plate 2. There are several clamps 5, which are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the support plate 7. The shape of the clamp 5 is "冂" shaped, and the top ends of the two sides are respectively connected to the lower ends of the two support plates 7. The opening of the clamp 5 faces downward. In the initial state, the projection of the clamp 5 connected to the lower ends of the two support plates 7 on the transmission plate 2 is a straight line perpendicular to one side of the transmission plate 2. The top end of the clamp 5 is connected to the two support plates 7 respectively by a rotatable connection such as a bearing to ensure that the clamp 5 can rotate relative to the support plate 7. The clamping drive mechanism also includes two telescopic cylinders 9, which are used to drive the movement of the two support plates 7 respectively. Specifically, the support block 6 is provided with a fixed platform at a place where it does not interfere with the movement of the support plate 7, which is used to fix the telescopic cylinder 9. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 9 is connected to the support plate 7, and the telescopic movement directions of the two telescopic cylinders 9 are arranged in opposite directions to realize the reverse movement of the two support plates 7. The reverse movement of the support plates 7 on both sides of the support block 6 drives the clamp 5 to rotate a certain angle, and its projection on the conveying plate 2 is an oblique line. Compared with the initial state, its straight-line distance in the short side direction of the conveying plate 2 becomes shorter, that is, the function of clamping the battery is realized, and the relative movement distance of the two support plates 7 is adjusted to adjust the clamping force of the clamp 5 to adapt to batteries of different sizes.

[0026] Preferably, a synchronization mechanism is provided to ensure that the movement of the two support plates 7 is synchronized in real time, which can ensure the stability of the clamping performance of the clamp 5. The specific synchronization mechanism includes a combination of two racks 11 and a gear 10. The racks 11 are arranged on opposite sides of the two support plates 7, and the two racks 11 are meshed through the gear 10. The synchronization mechanism can reduce the arrangement of the telescopic cylinder 9, and only one telescopic cylinder 9 is provided to achieve the clamping effect of the clamp 5.

[0027] The battery transfer unit is used to transfer the battery clamped by the battery clamping unit to the cleaning tank 1 for cleaning. It includes a lifting cylinder 14 that drives the battery to move up and down, and a ball screw transmission mechanism that drives the battery to move perpendicular to the transfer plate 2. Specifically, the screw of the ball screw transmission mechanism is rotatably fixed. A connecting plate 13 is fixed below the nut that is connected in cooperation with the screw. The rotation of the screw drives the connecting plate 13 to move along the direction of the screw. The ball screw transmission mechanism converts rotational motion into linear motion. The specific structure will not be elaborated here and can refer to the prior art. The connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the support block 6, and drives the fixture 5 to move on the screw through the movement on the screw. The connection between the connecting plate 13 and the support block 6 is connected by the lifting cylinder 14. The lifting cylinder 14 is fixed on the connecting plate 13, and its output end is connected to the support block 6. Multiple lifting cylinders 14 can be evenly arranged to ensure the stability of lifting. At the same time, a guide post 15 is provided between the connecting plate 13 and the support block 6. The direction of the guide post 15 is the same as the movement direction of the lifting cylinder 14, further limiting the lifting of the support block 6 and improving the stability.

[0028] The cleaning tank 1 is filled with cleaning liquid. The cleaning brush 16 is preferably a roller brush, and several are provided. The roller brush is driven by a motor. The several roller brushes are arranged at intervals, and a space for the battery is reserved between two adjacent roller brushes. The brush of the roller brush is made of a relatively soft material to avoid scratching the surface of the battery.

[0029] The battery limiting component includes four limiting blocks 4, which are arranged on the transfer plate 2 in four directions and are connected to the transfer plate 2 by magnetism, which is more convenient for disassembly, that is, it is convenient to adjust the position of the limiting blocks 4. For batteries of different model sizes, the limiting blocks 4 can be adjusted in position to adapt to different sizes of batteries.

[0030] The overall movement process of the present utility model is as follows: First, the limiting blocks 4 are adjusted to positions suitable for the size of the battery, and the distance from the fixture 5 and the roller brush is kept the same. After the transfer plate moves the battery under the fixture 5, the lifting cylinder 14 drives the fixture 5 to descend close to the battery. Then, the telescopic cylinder 9 drives the two support plates 7 to move, and the fixture 5 starts to clamp the battery. Then, the lifting cylinder 14 continues to drive the fixture 5 to rise, and the fixture 5 and its battery are moved to the upper part of the roller brush in the cleaning tank 1 through the ball screw transmission mechanism 12. Finally, the driving motor of the roller brush and the repeated lifting movement of the lifting cylinder 14 are started to complete the cleaning work of the battery in the cleaning tank 1. After cleaning, it can return to the transfer plate 2 along the original path.

[0031] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model by the same token.
