Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage box manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a flow channel blowing system for an energy storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage enclosures are crucial components used to house and protect energy storage systems. They are typically made of robust and durable materials, such as metal or high-strength plastics, offering excellent sealing and protective properties. The enclosure provides a safe and stable installation environment for key components of the energy storage system, including the battery pack, control system, and electrical connections, effectively preventing damage from external environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and impact. Furthermore, the enclosure may be equipped with cooling systems and ventilation devices to ensure that the heat generated during operation is dissipated promptly, maintaining the system within a suitable temperature range and improving its reliability and lifespan.

[0003] As a crucial component of the energy storage tank, the flow channel's primary function is to remove heat generated during system operation using a circulating cooling medium (such as coolant or air). However, during the manufacturing process, various impurities inevitably enter the flow channel within the tank due to various reasons. For example, metal shavings may remain from the processing stage, and dust and other fine particles may be introduced during assembly. Once impurities are present inside the flow channel and assembled into the energy storage tank, they will, on the one hand, interfere with normal fluid flow, leading to uneven flow rates and abnormal pressure, thus affecting the tank's crucial functions such as heat dissipation and energy transfer. On the other hand, long-term retention of impurities can also cause serious problems such as flow channel corrosion and blockage, significantly reducing the reliability of the energy storage tank, increasing the probability of failure, and potentially shortening the overall service life of the entire energy storage system.

[0007] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned scheme, the water supply pipeline is equipped with a one-way valve.

[0008] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned scheme, the gas supply pipeline is equipped with a solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is equipped with a pulse controller.

[0009] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned scheme, a rubber ring is fitted at the outlet of the blowpipe.

[0010] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned solution, the base of the flexible gripper is provided with a through hole, and the blow pipe can be lifted and lowered within the through hole.

[0011] The top opening of the blowpipe is connected to a worm gear, and the worm gear is axially provided with a flow guide channel for simultaneous connection of the blowpipe with the water supply pipeline and the air supply pipeline.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0016] The flow channel blowing system described in this application offers significant advantages in use. After the flow channels of the energy storage tank are manufactured, they are placed on a material conveyor with the water inlet facing upwards. The material conveyor transports the flow channels. When the flow channels are moved by the material conveyor to below the flexible grippers, a three-axis motion platform moves the flexible grippers precisely to the water inlet of the flow channel, where they then hold the water inlet. At this point, the blowing pipe descends relative to the flexible grippers until it is inserted into the water inlet.

[0025] The embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This application provides a flow channel blowing system for an energy storage box, including: a material conveyor 1; a flexible gripper 8 disposed above the material conveyor 1, with its gripping portion facing the conveying surface of the material conveyor 1; a blowing assembly including a blowing pipe 6, a water supply pipe 13, and an air supply pipe 14, wherein the blowing pipe 6 is perpendicular to the material conveyor 1 and is vertically and movably disposed at the center of the gripping portion of the flexible gripper 8, and the top of the blowing pipe 6 is simultaneously connected to the water supply pipe 13 and the air supply pipe 14; and a motion adjustment mechanism including a gantry frame 2 and a three-axis motion platform 3, wherein the gantry frame 2 is simultaneously covered on the material conveyor 1 and the flexible gripper 8, the three-axis motion platform 3 is disposed on the gantry frame 2, and the base of the flexible gripper 8 is connected to the load connection portion of the three-axis motion platform 3, the three-axis motion platform 3 being used to drive the flexible gripper 8 to move along the length direction, width direction, or vertical direction of the material conveyor 1.

[0028] The flow channel blowing system of this application has significant advantages in use. After the flow channel of the energy storage tank is manufactured, it is placed on the material conveyor 1 with the water inlet of the flow channel facing upwards. The material conveyor 1 is responsible for conveying the flow channel. When the flow channel is driven by the material conveyor 1 to below the flexible gripper 8, the three-axis motion platform 3 drives the flexible gripper 8 to move accurately to the water inlet of the flow channel, and then the flexible gripper 8 clamps the water inlet. At this time, the blowing pipe 6 descends relative to the flexible gripper 8 until it is inserted into the water inlet. Subsequently, water and gas are supplied through the water supply line 13 and the air supply line 14, respectively, to blow and clean or treat the flow channel. The gas increases the impact force of the flushing, making the flushing effect more significant and quickly removing dirt and impurities from the flow channel of the energy storage tank. At the same time, the water plays a role in dissolving and flushing, and together with the gas, it can more thoroughly clean all corners of the flow channel. This hybrid rinsing method greatly improves cleaning efficiency, avoids the problem of incomplete cleaning that may occur when using water or gas alone, ensures that the flow channel is clean without dead corners, and provides a reliable guarantee for the normal operation of the energy storage tank.

[0029] It is worth noting that the blowing system of this application is applied to a flow channel with a water inlet to facilitate adaptation to the flexible gripper 8. Both the water supply line 13 and the air supply line 14 are flexible hoses, and their lengths are designed to accommodate the lifting and lowering of the blowing pipe 6.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 This embodiment is the same as embodiment 1 in terms of main body, the main difference being that the water supply pipeline 13 is equipped with a one-way valve.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the check valve prevents water from flowing back into the water supply pipeline 13, ensuring that the water flow always faces the direction of the blow-spray pipe 6, thereby guaranteeing the stable operation of the blow-spray system. When the system stops working or pressure fluctuations occur, the check valve effectively prevents backflow of water from damaging the water supply pipeline 13 and other equipment. Secondly, the check valve maintains stable pressure in the water supply pipeline 13, allowing water to be sprayed out at a relatively stable pressure and flow rate during the blow-spray process, improving the consistency and reliability of the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the check valve prevents water or other impurities in the flow channel from flowing back into the water supply pipeline 13, avoiding contamination of the water supply pipeline 13 and reducing equipment maintenance and cleaning costs.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the gas supply line 14 is equipped with a solenoid valve, and the solenoid valve is equipped with a pulse controller.

[0034] In the above embodiments, the solenoid valve can precisely control the flow of gas, ensuring that gas accurately enters the blowpipe 6 when needed, thus improving the system's controllability. Secondly, the pulse controller can precisely control the solenoid valve via pulses, enabling intermittent gas supply. This allows for adjustment of the gas impact force and blowing frequency according to actual needs, better adapting to different types of dirt and flow channel structures, and improving cleaning effectiveness. Furthermore, intermittent gas supply saves energy and reduces system operating costs. Simultaneously, pulse control reduces gas waste and improves gas utilization efficiency. Finally, this configuration makes the entire blowing system more intelligent and automated, improving system stability and reliability.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, a rubber ring 7 is fitted at the outlet of the blow pipe 6.

[0036] In the above embodiments, the rubber ring 7 fitted at the outlet of the blowpipe 6 has several advantages. First, the rubber ring 7 provides a seal; when the blowpipe 6 is inserted into the inlet of the flow channel, the rubber ring 7 fits tightly against the inlet, preventing water and gas from leaking from the connection between the blowpipe 6 and the inlet during the blowing process, ensuring stable blowing pressure and flow, and improving the cleaning effect. Second, the rubber ring 7 has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to adapt to inlets of different sizes, thus improving the versatility of the blowpipe 6. Furthermore, the rubber ring 7 reduces friction and collision between the blowpipe 6 and the inlet, preventing damage to both and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0037] Example 3

[0038] Please refer to Figures 2-4 This embodiment is the same as the embodiment 1 in terms of main body, the main difference being that the base of the flexible gripper 8 is provided with a through hole, and the blow pipe 6 can be raised and lowered and disposed in the through hole.

[0039] The top opening of the blowpipe 6 is connected to a worm gear 11. The worm gear 11 is axially provided with a flow guide channel for simultaneous connection of the blowpipe 6 with the water supply pipeline 13 and the air supply pipeline 14. The worm gear 11 is meshed with a worm wheel 12, and the worm wheel 12 is connected to a drive motor 9 through a bevel gear set 10.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the blowpipe 6 is height-adjustable within the through hole of the flexible gripper 8 base, making the structure more compact and saving space, while also facilitating the coordinated operation of the blowpipe 6 and the flexible gripper 8. Secondly, the top opening of the blowpipe 6 connects to the worm gear 11, and the axial flow channel of the worm gear 11 allows the blowpipe 6 to be simultaneously connected to the water supply pipe 13 and the air supply pipe 14. This design ensures that water and gas can be stably and smoothly delivered to the blowpipe 6. Furthermore, the worm gear 11 meshes with the worm wheel 12, and is connected to the drive motor 9 via the bevel gear set 10. This transmission method allows for precise control of the lifting and lowering of the blowpipe 6, achieving automated operation and improving work efficiency and accuracy.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 This embodiment is the same as the embodiment 1 in terms of main body, the main difference being that the above-mentioned three-axis motion platform 3, the above-mentioned blowing and spraying assembly and the above-mentioned flexible gripper 8 constitute a blowing and spraying unit, and there are multiple blowing and spraying units, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the conveying direction of the above-mentioned material conveyor 1.

[0043] In the above embodiments, multiple blow-spray units can simultaneously perform blow-spray cleaning or treatment in multiple channels, which greatly improves work efficiency and shortens the production cycle.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, it also includes a number of dust removal mechanisms equal to the number of the above-mentioned blowing and spraying units, with each of the dust removal mechanisms matched with one of the above-mentioned blowing and spraying units.

[0045] The dust removal mechanism includes a fan 4 and a dust collection hood 5, which are respectively located on both sides of the material conveyor 1 in the width direction.

[0046] In the above embodiment, fan 4 blows air onto the surface of material conveyor 1. This causes dust and impurities generated during the blowing process to be blown towards dust collection hood 5 and collected. This design prevents dust from spreading in the surrounding environment, effectively maintaining a clean working environment and reducing adverse effects on the health of operators.

[0047] Furthermore, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" in this application embodiment should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. The terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," and "side," etc., are merely for reference to the direction in the accompanying drawings or the usual placement of the product during use. They are only for clearly describing this application and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limitations on this application.
