[0002] Composite electrode materials are widely used in various electrochemical applications, such as batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. However, because their surfaces are susceptible to contamination and oxidation, they require regular cleaning to maintain their performance and stability. To meet this demand, continuous automated cleaning equipment has been designed to efficiently clean composite electrode materials, improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] In conventional continuous automatic cleaning devices, a basket stepping method is usually used. This method requires the electrode material to be placed in a cleaning basket, and then the basket is moved in the cleaning liquid for cleaning. However, this operation method has some problems. First, the basket stepping process requires a large number of operating steps, including loading and unloading the basket, setting the basket's movement path, etc., which increases the complexity and time cost of the operation. Second, because the basket stepping method limits the coverage of the cleaning liquid on the electrode material, it may lead to uneven cleaning effect, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the utility model proposes a continuous automatic cleaning device, which can solve the problem that the conventional continuous automatic cleaning device adopts a basket stepping transmission method, which limits the coverage of the cleaning liquid to the electrode material, resulting in uneven cleaning effect and affecting product quality.

[0008] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is that a plurality of upright posts for stabilizing the objects to be cleaned are staggeredly provided on the conveyor belt, and the distance between adjacent upright posts is sufficient to accommodate the objects to be cleaned.

[0009] The preferred technical solution of the present invention is that the diameter of the pillars is 1-3 mm, the height is 50-80 mm, and the interval between the pillars is 4-5 mm.

[0010] An optimal technical solution of the present invention is that guardrails are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0011] An optimal technical solution of the present invention is that a heating tube, such as an electric heating tube, is further provided in the cleaning tank, which can be equipped with a temperature sensor and a heating control switch to intelligently control the temperature of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank.

[0016] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0017] The present utility model proposes a continuous automatic cleaning device, which solves the problem of adding operating steps by using a basket stepping method in traditional cleaning devices for composite electrode materials through the creative integration of a conveyor belt, a cleaning tank, a spray barrel and related equipment. The conveyor belt is designed to circulate through the interior of the cleaning tank and the spray barrel in sequence, realizing the continuous circulation and transmission of the items to be cleaned. The workpiece that has passed the previous grinding process starts to be transported from the loading area at the head end of the conveyor belt, first passes through the cleaning tank and is immersed in the cleaning liquid, and passes through the interior of the spray barrel until it is transported to the unloading area at the end of the conveyor belt and enters the next packaging process. This structure eliminates the need to use a basket stepping method in traditional cleaning devices, thereby reducing operating steps and manual intervention. This adaptability and flexibility enable the continuous automatic cleaning device to be more widely used in various production scenarios. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figure 1-5As shown, a continuous automatic cleaning device provided in this embodiment includes a frame, a drive roller, and several tension rollers mounted on the frame. A conveyor belt 1 is wound around the drive roller and the tension rollers, and the conveyor belt 1 circulates along the path formed by the drive roller and the tension rollers. The conveyor belt 1 includes a loading area and a unloading area, with a cleaning area and a spraying area located sequentially between the loading and unloading areas. A cleaning tank 2 and a spray barrel 3 are provided on the frame at positions corresponding to the cleaning and spraying areas, respectively. The conveyor belt 1 in the cleaning area remains immersed in the cleaning liquid due to its own weight and the weight of the objects to be cleaned. The conveyor belt 1 in the spraying area passes through the spray barrel. An ultrasonic generator 21 is installed in the cleaning tank 2, and several nozzles 34 are arranged around the inner wall of the spray barrel 3. In the technical solution of this embodiment, the ultrasonic generator is installed in the cleaning tank, and the ultrasonic wave is used to clean the workpieces on the conveyor belt 1 passing by. Ultrasonic waves form high-intensity, tiny bubbles in the bath liquid, generating impact and a powerful cleaning effect, resulting in a more thorough cleaning. The ultrasonic cleaning tank should be at least 1000 mm long, 100 mm wide, and 200 mm deep. The specific dimensions can be customized based on the size of the workpiece and production capacity. Several nozzles are located inside the spray barrel 3 to spray the cleaning liquid. These nozzles evenly distribute the cleaning liquid across the surface of the cleaned item, ensuring a uniform and comprehensive cleaning effect.

[0029] Preferably, a plurality of baffles 4 for stabilizing the objects to be cleaned are provided at intervals on the conveyor belt 1, and the distance between adjacent baffles 4 is sufficient to accommodate the objects to be cleaned. The baffles 4 serve as a limiting structure, which has a simple structure and is easy to process. The evenly distributed baffles help to improve the reliability and durability of the equipment. Since the electrode materials are firmly confined between the baffles 4, their friction and collision with other parts of the equipment are greatly reduced, which reduces the wear and failure rate of the equipment. At the same time, this design also reduces the damage caused by mutual collisions between the electrode materials, thereby ensuring the integrity of the product. The limiting structure in this embodiment is a plurality of evenly distributed baffles 4, and the intervals between the baffles 4 are 20 mm.

[0030] Preferably, a plurality of columns 7 for stabilizing the objects to be cleaned are staggeredly provided on the conveyor belt 1, and the distance between adjacent columns 7 is sufficient to accommodate the objects to be cleaned. The columns 7 serve as limiting structures, and their structure is simple, and they can be flexibly adjusted according to the different sizes and shapes of the workpieces, thereby improving the versatility and applicability of the device. In view of the size of the composite electrode material produced, preferably, the diameter of the columns 7 is 1-3mm, the height is 50-80mm, and the intervals between the columns 7 are 4-5mm. The smaller intervals between the columns 7 can reduce the flow resistance of the cleaning liquid, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the surface area of the small-diameter columns 7 is relatively small, which can reduce the retention of the cleaning liquid on the surface of the columns 7, reduce the waste of the cleaning liquid, and improve the cleaning efficiency and resource utilization.

[0031] A limiting structure is provided on the conveyor belt 1 to limit the movement of the workpiece on the conveyor belt 1, which is also a major innovation in the technical solution of this embodiment. The sliding or rolling of the electrode material may cause it to collide and rub with other components inside the equipment, which may cause damage to the equipment in the long run. The limiting structure is used to limit the movement of the workpiece on the conveyor belt 1, and its forms of movement include but are not limited to sliding or rolling. The limiting structure is in direct contact with the electrode material, and limits the movement of the electrode material on the conveyor belt 1 by physical means. This design ensures that the electrode material can maintain a relatively stable position during the transmission process, avoids sliding or rolling caused by vibration or external force, thereby protecting the equipment and extending its service life, and the limiting structure can well drive the workpiece to move with the conveyor belt 1. In addition, the limiting structure can be designed in a variety of forms, such as columns, baffles, etc., to accommodate electrode materials of different shapes and sizes. This adaptability and flexibility enable the continuous automatic cleaning device to be more widely used in various production scenarios.

[0032] Preferably, guardrails 6 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1. The guardrails 6 prevent the items being cleaned from falling or sliding off the conveyor belt 1, reducing the risk of damage or loss. Furthermore, the guardrails 6 prevent damage to the equipment from external debris or human error, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.

[0033] Preferably, a heating tube 22 is also provided within the cleaning tank 2. The heating tube 22 can increase the temperature of the cleaning liquid, thereby increasing the chemical reaction rate during the cleaning process and achieving a better cleaning effect. In particular, heating can dissolve oily or stubborn dirt more easily, improving cleaning efficiency, accelerating the cleaning process, shortening the cleaning cycle, and increasing production efficiency.

[0034] Preferably, a first guide wheel set 51 and a second guide wheel set 52 are provided on either side of the cleaning tank 2. The first guide wheel set 51 guides the conveyor belt 1 downwards, forming a 40-80° slope; the second guide wheel set 52 guides the conveyor belt 1 upwards, forming a 40-80° slope. The first and second guide wheel sets 51 and 52 guide the conveyor belt 1 into and out of the cleaning tank 2, ensuring a smooth cleaning process. To minimize the space occupied by the cleaning tank 2, a 70° slope is recommended.

[0035] Preferably, a drying device is provided at the outlet end of the spray barrel 3. The drying device can be a hot air nozzle provided on the inner wall of the spray barrel 3, which can avoid some disadvantages of conventional electric heating and drying, such as high cost and safety issues.

[0036] Preferably, a plurality of through holes are provided on the conveyor belt 1. The provision of the through holes is conducive to timely draining away the water remaining on the conveyor belt and reducing the power consumption of the spray barrel.

[0037] Preferably, the cleaning zone is preceded and followed by a low-pressure spray zone 31 and a high-pressure rinse zone 32. The nozzles 34 on the spray barrel 3 include low-pressure and high-pressure nozzles, each connected to a water pump with different pressures. The low-pressure spray zone 31 produces mist-like water, while the high-pressure rinse zone 32 produces thin, high-pressure rinse water strips. The nozzles in the drying zone 33 produce compressed air. The mist spray water can contain 1-50% detergent. The high-pressure rinse water is ultrapure water, and the compressed air is filtered, oil-free, and water-free pure air. Separately arranging the cleaning and drying zones 33 allows for parallel cleaning and drying processes, thereby improving the efficiency of the cleaning apparatus. The low-pressure spray zone 31 evenly sprays the cleaning liquid throughout the cleaning process, allowing it to fully penetrate the surface of the items being cleaned, softening and dissolving dirt. The high-pressure rinse zone 32, on the other hand, flushes at a higher pressure, thoroughly removing any remaining dirt and ensuring a thorough cleaning effect. The nozzles 34 are arranged around the inner side of the spray barrel 3. The nozzle ring is located inside the spray barrel 3 to ensure that the cleaning liquid evenly covers the surface of the cleaned items. The nozzle ring 34 is distributed along the barrel wall and can spray cleaning liquid from multiple directions simultaneously, ensuring that every part is cleaned evenly, which is especially important for items with complex shapes or special surface structures.
