Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of paste extrusion production of positive grids of tubular lead-acid batteries, and in particular relates to a secondary flushing mechanism for a paste extruder. Background Art

[0002] In modern industrial production, paste extruders are widely used in industries like battery manufacturing to evenly apply paste materials to metal plates (i.e., grids). However, during this process, some paste or other impurities may remain on the surface of the grid. If not effectively cleaned, these residues can directly affect the quality of subsequent processes and even cause product defects. Therefore, thorough cleaning of the grid is a crucial step in ensuring product quality.

[0003] The existing tubular positive plate flushing mechanism is a separate component used to flush the surface of the grid produced in the previous process. For example, the utility model patent with announcement number CN202772224U discloses a semi-automatic paste extruder, which includes a paste extruder, a plate conveyor, and a bottom sealing assembly, with a semi-automatic flushing mechanism located adjacent to the bottom sealing assembly. Furthermore, the existing flushing mechanism is a vertical flushing mechanism, requiring the grid to be lifted upright using a gripping mechanism and placed within the flushing mechanism for flushing. This mechanism requires high relative positioning accuracy, making positioning difficult and requiring calibration, resulting in low efficiency and impacting the overall efficiency of the entire paste extrusion line.

[0004] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a secondary flushing mechanism for a paste extruder. The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] Preferably, a detection component is provided on the side where the box assembly enters the grid;

[0008] The detection assembly includes a proximity switch and a photoelectric switch. The proximity switch is used to detect the rotation state of the rotating claw assembly, and the photoelectric switch is used to detect the in and out state of the grid.

[0009] Preferably, the box assembly further comprises a flushing box, in which a transmission assembly is transversely installed, and the transmission assembly drives the spray assembly to slide transversely along the side of the rotating claw assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a servo motor and a slide assembly powered by the servo motor, the slide assembly is installed in the flushing box, and the spray assembly is arranged to extend out of the flushing box.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating claw assembly comprises a rotating shaft, on which a rotating claw for grabbing the grid is mounted.

[0012] Preferably, the output shaft of the servo motor provides power to the rotating shaft through a belt.

[0013] Preferably, the output shaft of the servo motor provides power to the slide assembly through a screw transmission structure.

[0014] Preferably, the spray assembly includes a water valve plate, and a plurality of spray heads are provided on the water valve plate. The spray heads provide water source for spraying the grid through an external water pump.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. By setting up a spray assembly with a horizontal sliding function, it is possible to spray and clean directly on the conveyor line of the paste extruder to achieve a more comprehensive and uniform flushing of the grid, effectively remove surface residues, and improve product cleanliness and production efficiency.

[0017] 2. By adding proximity switches and photoelectric switches to the detection components, the working status of the rotating claw assembly and the entry and exit of the grid can be monitored in real time, which not only improves the safety of equipment operation, but also achieves precise control of the production process and reduces the need for manual intervention.

[0018] 3. By configuring a transmission assembly in the flushing box to drive the spray assembly to move along the side of the rotating claw assembly, this layout rationally utilizes space resources. The flushing box can protect the transmission assembly from being wetted by the spraying water and interfering with the normal operation of the transmission assembly. At the same time, it ensures the flexibility and accuracy of the spraying operation, which is conducive to improving the cleaning effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 – Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a secondary flushing mechanism for a paste extruder, including a box assembly 1 installed on the paste extruder, a spray assembly 2 for grid flushing is laterally slidably provided on the box assembly 1, and the box assembly 1 includes supporting side plates 12 provided on both sides, the supporting side plates 12 are used to fix the secondary flushing mechanism to the conveying mechanism of the paste extruder, and a rotating claw assembly 3 for driving the grid to rotate is provided between the two supporting side plates 12.

[0025] By providing a spray assembly 2 with a transverse sliding function, spray cleaning can be performed directly on the conveyor line of the paste extruder to achieve a more comprehensive and uniform flushing of the grid, effectively remove surface residues, and improve product cleanliness and production efficiency.

[0026] The secondary flushing mechanism is integrated into the conveying mechanism of the paste extruder to solve the problem of difficult positioning. At the same time, because the secondary flushing mechanism is completely fixed to the main conveying mechanism, no subsequent calibration is required after installation and positioning.

[0027] Preferably, a detection component 4 is provided on the side of the box component 1 entering the grid;

[0028] The detection assembly 4 includes a proximity switch 41 and a photoelectric switch 42. The proximity switch 41 is used to detect the rotation state of the rotating claw assembly 3, and the photoelectric switch 42 is used to detect the in and out state of the grid.

[0029] By adding a proximity switch 41 and a photoelectric switch 42 in the detection component 4, the working status of the rotating claw component 3 and the entry and exit of the grid can be monitored in real time, which not only improves the safety of equipment operation, but also achieves precise control of the production process and reduces the need for manual intervention.

[0030] Preferably, the box assembly 1 also includes a flushing box 11, in which a transmission assembly 5 is horizontally installed. The spray assembly 2 is installed on the transmission assembly 5, and the transmission assembly 5 drives the spray assembly 2 to slide horizontally along the side of the rotating claw assembly 3.

[0031] By configuring the transmission assembly 5 in the flushing box 11 to drive the spray assembly 2 to move along the side of the rotating claw assembly 3, this layout rationally utilizes space resources, and the flushing box 11 can protect the transmission assembly 5 from being wetted by the spraying water and interfering with the normal operation of the transmission assembly 5. At the same time, it ensures the flexibility and accuracy of the spraying operation, which is conducive to improving the cleaning effect.

[0032] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 5 includes a servo motor 51 and a slide assembly 52 powered by the servo motor 51. The slide assembly 52 is installed in the flushing tank 11, and the spray assembly 2 is arranged to extend out of the flushing tank 11. Using the servo motor 51 as the power source and achieving precise displacement of the spray assembly 2 via the slide assembly 52 allows for more accurate adjustment of the spray angle and range to accommodate the cleaning needs of grids of different sizes and shapes, thereby enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the system.

[0033] The rotating claw assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, on which a rotating claw 32 for grabbing the grid is mounted. The design of the rotating claw assembly 3 is simple and practical, easy to operate and convenient to disassemble and replace, reducing daily maintenance costs while also ensuring stability during the process of grabbing and releasing the grid.

[0034] Furthermore, the rotating claw 32 is a crisscross structure, and four groups of mutually perpendicular grasping parts extend along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 31. Each group of grasping parts includes two support rods with a grasping gap in the middle. The two support rods grasp the grid, which is arranged perpendicular to each other and can enter the rotating claw 32 in turn. The grid flushing process will not affect the second plate entering the flushing mechanism, and the grid can be entered during the flushing process, so that the overall efficiency of the entire extrusion line is also improved.

[0035] Specifically, the output shaft of the servo motor 51 provides power to the rotating shaft 31 through a belt. The output shaft of the servo motor 51 provides power to the slide assembly 52 through a screw transmission structure 53 (the belt and screw transmission structure is a conventional technology in the field and will not be described in detail here).

[0036] Preferably, the spray assembly 2 includes a water valve plate 21, which is provided with multiple nozzles 22. These nozzles 22 are supplied with water from an external water pump to spray the grid. The spray assembly 2 is equipped with multiple nozzles 22 and supplied with water from an external water pump. The water pressure and flow rate can be adjusted according to actual needs, ensuring a good cleaning effect while avoiding water waste.

[0037] During operation, the photoelectric switch 42 of the detection component 4 detects that the grid enters the secondary flushing mechanism, and the servo motor 51 of the transmission component 5 starts, driving the rotating claw component 3 to rotate 90 degrees, and rotating the grid to the flushing station of the rotating claw 32. At the same time, the water pump of the spray component 2 starts to flush the grid. While the rotating claw component 3 rotates, the slide component 52 in the transmission component 5 moves, causing the spray component 2 to move horizontally to flush the entire board surface, completing the flushing action. Then, the servo motor 51 of the transmission component 5 starts, driving the rotating claw component 3 to rotate 90 degrees, and rotating the grid to the board outlet station, completing an action cycle. During the flushing process, the next grid can enter the other grabbing part of the board entry station of the rotating claw 32.
