[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] After the battery terminals and busbars are welded together, there will be welding slag and impurities remaining on the surface of the battery. Operators need to use a handheld vacuum cleaner nozzle to clean the battery. After working for a long time, operators are prone to fatigue, which affects the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is an exploded structural diagram of the battery pack provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] This utility model provides a cleaning device, including a vacuum cleaner and a cleaning fixture. The cleaning fixture includes: a base 20, which is elongated; a mounting component 30, which includes a mounting frame 31 that is slidably disposed on the base 20 along a first direction; a vacuum cleaner nozzle 50 that is mounted on the mounting frame 31; the first direction being the length direction of the base 20; and at least two clamping components 40 that are disposed on the base 20 to form clamping grooves 43 that extend along the first direction. The at least two clamping components 40 limit the battery through the clamping grooves 43.

[0035] In practical applications, before cleaning, multiple batteries are placed sequentially in the clamping slot 43 along the first direction, and the vacuum cleaner nozzle 50 is mounted on the mounting bracket 31. During cleaning, the operator starts the vacuum cleaner and moves the mounting bracket 31. The mounting bracket 31 moves the vacuum nozzle 50 along the first direction, thereby completing the cleaning of multiple batteries. During the cleaning process, the operator only needs to slide the mounting bracket 31 along the first direction, thus reducing the workload of cleaning and improving the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0036] Further, see Figure 1 The base 20 has a limiting groove 24 along the first direction, and the limiting groove 24 is connected to the clamping groove 43.

[0037] In practical applications, the battery is first placed in the limiting groove 24, and then the clamping assembly 40 is controlled so that the clamping assembly 40 fixes the battery. The limiting groove 24 can position the battery, thus making it easier for the clamping assembly 40 to fix the battery.

[0038] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 20 has a first sliding groove 21 along a first direction, with one end of the first sliding groove 21 penetrating through the base 20. The mounting assembly 30 includes a first slider 32 and a connector 33. The first slider 32 and the first sliding groove 21 are slidably engaged. The connector 33 passes through the mounting bracket 31 and enters the first sliding groove 21 to connect with the first slider 32. In this embodiment, the connector 33 is a bolt 421, which passes through the mounting bracket 31 and is threadedly connected to the first slider 32.

[0039] In practical applications, before cleaning, the operator first connects the mounting bracket 31 and the first slider 32 using the connector 33. Then, the first slider 32 and the first slide groove 21 are slidably engaged. Next, the clamp assembly 40 is adjusted, and the suction nozzle 50 is installed on the mounting bracket 31, thus completing the assembly of the cleaning device. After that, the battery is fixed and cleaned. The connector 33 serves to connect the mounting bracket 31 and the first slider 32. The sliding engagement of the first slider 32 and the first slide groove 21 allows the mounting bracket 31 to slide along the first direction.

[0040] Further, see Figure 2 The first groove 21 passes through one end of the base 20 along the first direction.

[0041] In practical applications, when the first slider 32 and the first slide groove 21 are slidably engaged, the first slider 32 is inserted into the first slide groove 21 from one end of the first slide groove 21 through the base 20 along the first direction. The other end of the first slide groove 21 along the first direction is closed, which can reduce the risk of the first slider 32 sliding out of the first slide groove 21 during the installation of the first slider 32 and the moving of the mounting bracket 31.

[0042] Optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mounting bracket 31 has a second sliding groove 311 perpendicular to the first direction;

[0043] The mounting assembly 30 includes a second slider 34, a third slider 35, and a first fastener 36. The second slider 34 and the second slide groove 311 are slidably engaged. The third slider 35 is movably connected to the second slider 34 through the first fastener 36 to clamp the mounting bracket 31. The third slider 35 is used to install the vacuum cleaner nozzle 50 and drive the vacuum cleaner nozzle 50 to move toward the clamping groove 43.

[0044] In practical applications, the second slider 34 and the second slide groove 311 slide together, so that the second slider 34 can drive the vacuum nozzle 50 to move in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, thereby adjusting the position of the vacuum nozzle 50 to improve the cleaning effect. When the vacuum nozzle 50 is moved into place, the second slider 34 and the third slider 35 cooperate to clamp the mounting bracket 31, thereby fixing the position of the vacuum nozzle 50.

[0045] Furthermore, referring to Figure 5 One end of the first fastener 36 is fixedly connected to the second slider 34, and the other end is threadedly connected to the third slider 35.

[0046] In practical applications, since the third slider 35 and the first fastener 36 are threadedly connected, rotating the third slider 35 allows it to move closer to or further away from the second slider 34. When it is necessary to lock the position of the suction nozzle 50, rotating the third slider 35 moves it closer to the second slider 34, so that the third slider 35 and the second slider 34 together clamp the mounting bracket 31, thereby locking the position of the suction nozzle 50. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the suction nozzle 50, rotating the third slider 35 in the opposite direction moves it away from the second slider 34, thereby releasing the lock on the position of the suction nozzle 50 and adjusting its position.

[0047] In other embodiments, the first fastener 36 can also be fixedly connected to the third slider 35 and threadedly connected to the second slider 34. In this case, rotating the third slider 35 or the first fastener 36 can lock and unlock the position of the suction nozzle 50.

[0048] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The clamping assembly 40 includes a clamping member 41 and a second fastener 42. The clamping member 41 includes a connecting plate 411 and a clamping plate 412 that are connected to each other. The base 20 has a connecting hole 22. The second fastener 42 passes through the connecting plate 411 and the connecting hole 22 to cooperate. The clamping plate 412 and the adjacent clamping plate 412 form a clamping groove 43.

[0049] In practical applications, when fixing the battery, the battery is first placed in the clamping groove 43, and then the connecting plate 411 is fixed to the base 20 by the second fastener 42. At this time, the clamping plates 412 on both sides of the battery fix the battery in the clamping groove 43.

[0050] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connecting hole 22 extends perpendicular to the first direction. The second fastener 42 includes a bolt 421 and a nut 422. The bolt 421 passes through the connecting plate 411 and is slidably disposed in the connecting hole 22. The nut 422 and the bolt 421 are threaded together and cooperate to clamp the base 20.

[0051] In practical applications, when fixing the battery, the battery is first placed in the clamping groove 43, and then the clamping plate 412 is moved in a direction perpendicular to the first direction to adjust the width of the clamping groove 43 until the corresponding clamping plates 412 clamp the battery. Then, the nut 422 and bolt 421 are threaded together to clamp the base 20 and the connecting plate 411, thereby fixing the position of the clamping plate 412.

[0052] Optionally, refer to Figure 1The clamping member 41 includes a guide plate 413, which is disposed at one end of the clamping plate 412 and extends away from the clamping groove 43.

[0053] In practical applications, the two opposing guide plates 413 form an flared clamping groove 43, which facilitates the insertion of the battery into the clamping groove 43 along the first direction.

[0054] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The base 20 has multiple limiting holes 23 along its edge, which are connected to the first sliding groove 21. The multiple limiting holes 23 are arranged at intervals along the first direction.

[0055] In practical applications, when the cleaning process needs to be paused, the operator can move the connector 33 into the limiting hole 23 to fix the position of the mounting bracket 31, thereby reducing the possibility of the mounting bracket 31 sliding out of the first slide groove 21 due to accidental contact. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 31 can be fixed in the corresponding limiting hole 23 according to its current position, thereby reducing the need for repeated cleaning and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0056] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0057] It should also be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may be connected to an intermediary component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or indirectly connected to the other component through an intermediary component.

[0058] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
