Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery electrode cutting molds, and in particular to a cutting blade cleaning device for battery electrode cutting molds. Background Technology

[0002] In the battery manufacturing industry, the cutting of battery electrodes is a crucial process that directly impacts battery performance and safety. During the cutting process, the sharpness and cleanliness of the cutting blade are key factors in ensuring cutting quality. However, in actual production, after prolonged use, the cutting blade often becomes dull or clogged due to the adhesion of material residue, dust, and other contaminants. This not only affects cutting accuracy but can also lead to defects such as burrs and cracks on the battery electrodes. In severe cases, it can even damage the cutting blade, thus affecting the efficiency and cost of the entire production line.

[0003] To address the issue of blade cleaning, current technologies typically employ manual cleaning, where operators periodically stop the machine and manually clean the blade using cleaning tools. However, this method has several drawbacks: firstly, manual cleaning is inefficient and struggles to ensure thoroughness and consistency; secondly, stopping the machine for cleaning disrupts the production process, reducing the overall capacity of the production line. Furthermore, manual operation poses certain safety hazards, such as potential injury to operators due to improper handling.

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of manual cleaning, some automated blade cleaning devices have emerged on the market. These devices typically clean the blades using mechanical structures or airflow, improving cleaning efficiency and safety to some extent. However, existing automated cleaning devices still have some problems, such as the lack of effective avoidance mechanisms during the cleaning process, which can cause interference between the cleaning unit and the blade or other components, affecting the cleaning effect and the lifespan of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a device that can efficiently and safely clean the cutter of a battery electrode cutting mold.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A cleaning device for a battery electrode cutting mold includes a cleaning section, a cleaning lateral movement drive device, and a lateral movement guide rail. The cleaning section is mounted on the lateral movement guide rail. The cleaning lateral movement drive device is used to drive the cleaning section to move laterally along the lateral movement guide rail to clean the cutting blade. The lateral movement guide rail includes a horizontal guide rail and a bendable guide rail. The bendable guide rail is located at one end of the horizontal guide rail. When the cleaning lateral movement drive device drives the cleaning section to move to the bendable guide rail, it can avoid obstructing the cleaning section.

[0008] In one embodiment, the cleaning unit includes a slider, a movable frame, and a cleaning block, the cleaning block being mounted on the movable frame, and the movable frame being mounted on the slider.

[0009] In one embodiment, the cleaning section transverse drive device includes a drive motor, a drive rope, and a guide roller. The drive motor is connected to the drive rope via the drive roller, and the other end of the drive rope is mounted on the guide roller. The drive rope is connected to the moving frame via a connecting block.

[0010] In one embodiment, the connecting block is provided with a through hole for installing a drive rope, the drive rope passes through the through hole and is locked by a locking bolt, and the connecting block is installed on a movable frame.

[0011] In one embodiment, the upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal guide rail are respectively provided with a first sliding groove, the upper and lower surfaces of the avoidance bending guide rail are respectively provided with a second sliding groove, and the slider is provided with an upper ball plunger and a lower ball plunger, the upper ball plunger corresponding to the first sliding groove and the lower ball plunger corresponding to the second sliding groove.

[0012] In one embodiment, the upper ball plunger includes an upper steel ball and an upper return spring.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0014] (1) The cleaning device of this invention drives the cleaning unit to move laterally along the transverse guide rail via a cleaning transverse drive device, thereby achieving automated cleaning of the cutter. Compared with manual cleaning, this greatly improves cleaning efficiency, reduces production line downtime, and increases overall production capacity.

[0015] (2) The automated cleaning process of this application reduces direct contact between operators and the cutter, effectively avoiding the safety risks that may arise from manual operation. At the same time, the movement and avoidance of the cleaning unit are controlled by mechanical devices, ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning process.

[0016] (3) The transverse guide design includes a horizontal guide rail and a curved guide rail for avoidance. The horizontal guide rail provides a straight movement path for the cleaning unit in the horizontal direction. This allows the cleaning unit to perform stable cleaning operations along the length of the cutter, ensuring that all parts of the cutter are cleaned evenly. The curved guide rail is located at one end of the horizontal guide rail, and its shape may be curved or arc-shaped, used to allow the cleaning unit to avoid the cutter when needed. This combined guide rail structure allows the cleaning unit to flexibly clean the cutter at different positions. In particular, the curved guide rail allows the cleaning unit to avoid the cutter or other components during the cutting process, avoiding interference and collisions, and improving the flexibility and adaptability of cleaning.

[0020] Figure 4 A cross-sectional view of the cleaning section provided in an embodiment of this application; Detailed Implementation

[0021] The terminology used in the implementation section of this application is only for explaining specific embodiments of this application and is not intended to limit this application. The implementation of the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] A cleaning device for the cutter of a battery electrode cutting mold, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a cleaning unit 41, a cleaning transverse drive device 42, and a transverse guide rail 43. This device achieves automated cleaning of the cutter and can avoid interference and collision with other structures of the mold during mold cutting by avoiding the cutter or other components, thus improving the flexibility and adaptability of cleaning.

[0023] Cleaning section 41 structure as follows Figure 3 As shown, it mainly includes a slider 411, a moving frame 412, and a cleaning block 413. The slider 411 is slidably mounted on the transverse guide rail 43, ensuring that the cleaning part 41 can move smoothly along the transverse guide rail 43. The moving frame 412 connects the slider 411 and the cleaning block 413, and is used to support and fix the cleaning block 413, and allows the cleaning block 413 to be adjusted as needed. The cleaning block 413 is the part that actually contacts and cleans the cutter, and its structure may vary depending on the object being cleaned. For example, when only the upper cutter 21 is being cleaned, the cleaning block 413 may include an upper cleaning part 413a, which may include a V-shaped cleaning groove 413a1 for wiping the front and rear sides of the upper cutter 21, or include an upper cleaning protrusion for specifically wiping the rear side of the upper cutter 21. Similarly, when the lower cutter 31 needs to be cleaned, the cleaning block 413 may include a lower cleaning portion 413b, which includes a lower cleaning protrusion for cleaning the front side of the lower cutter 31. If it is necessary to clean both the upper cutter 21 and the lower cutter 31 at the same time, the cleaning block 413 may include both an upper cleaning portion 413a and a lower cleaning portion 413b.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning transverse drive device 42 is the power source that drives the cleaning part 41 to move along the transverse guide rail 43. It can be a cylinder, a motor or other suitable drive method.

[0025] The transverse guide rail 43 includes a horizontal guide rail 431 and a bendable guide rail 432.

[0026] A horizontal guide rail 431 is disposed on the front side of the upper cutting die 2, and its extension direction is parallel to the length direction of the upper cutting die 2. The cleaning unit 41 moves along the horizontal guide rail 431 under the drive of the cleaning transverse drive device 42 to clean the upper cutter 21 and / or the lower cutter 31.

[0027] The avoidance curved guide rail 432 is located at one end of the horizontal guide rail 431 and is curved in shape. After the cleaning part 41 completes the cleaning task, the cleaning transverse drive device 42 continues to drive the cleaning part 41 to move to the avoidance curved guide rail 432, so that the cleaning part 41 can be safely moved out of the working area to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the mold or other maintenance activities.

[0028] When the cutter of the battery electrode cutting mold needs cleaning, the control system (not shown) sends a cleaning command to the cleaning traverse drive device 42. The cleaning traverse drive device 42 responds to the command, driving the cleaning unit 41 to move along the horizontal guide rail 431 towards the cutter. During the movement, the cleaning blocks 413 on the cleaning unit 41 contact the cutter surface, effectively removing dirt from the cutter surface through physical friction or the action of a cleaning agent. After cleaning, the cleaning traverse drive device 42 changes its driving direction, driving the cleaning unit 41 to move in the opposite direction along the horizontal guide rail 431 to the entrance of the avoidance curved guide rail 432, and then moves along the avoidance curved guide rail 432 to complete the avoidance action.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in one specific embodiment of the invention, the cleaning unit is designed with an efficient and flexible structure to adapt to different cleaning needs. Specifically, the cleaning block 413 is mounted on the movable frame 412 and can be securely connected by bolts, clips, or other suitable fixing methods to ensure that the cleaning block 413 will not fall off during the cleaning process. The movable frame 412 is mounted on the slider 411 and can also be fixed by bolts, welding, or other methods to ensure that the movable frame 412 can move along a predetermined path with the slider 411.

[0030] The cleaning block 413 can be made of soft or slightly rigid materials, such as sponge, cloth, or microfiber materials, to suit the cleaning requirements of different surfaces. The movable frame 412 is designed with a lightweight yet robust structure to maintain sufficient strength and stability while reducing overall weight.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, in order to drive the cleaning section to move along a horizontal or curved path, the present invention provides a cleaning section lateral movement drive device. In this embodiment, the lateral movement drive device 42 includes a drive motor 421, a drive rope 422, and a guide roller 423. The drive motor 421 drives the guide roller via the drive roller and can be directly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 421. The drive roller is connected to one end of the drive rope 422. The other end of the drive rope 422 is mounted on the guide roller 423, which guides the movement direction of the drive rope 422 and ensures that the drive rope 422 remains taut during operation.

[0032] The drive rope 422 is connected to the movable frame 412 via a connecting block 424. The connecting block 424 has a through hole 425 for mounting the drive rope 422. After the drive rope 422 passes through the through hole 425, it is locked in place by a locking bolt 426, ensuring that there is no relative slippage between the drive rope 422 and the connecting block 424. The connecting block 424 is then mounted on the movable frame 412 and can be fixed by welding, bolts, or other methods, thereby enabling the drive motor 421 to drive the movable frame 412.

[0033] To ensure that the cleaning unit can move smoothly and accurately along the predetermined path, the present invention also provides a horizontal guide rail 431 and a bendable guide rail 432. The upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal guide rail 431 are respectively provided with a first groove, and the upper and lower surfaces of the bendable guide rail 432 are respectively provided with a second groove.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, the slider 411 is provided with an upper ball plunger 14 and a lower ball plunger 15. The upper ball plunger 14 corresponds to the first groove 12, and the lower ball plunger 15 corresponds to the second groove 13. This design allows the slider 411 to slide freely on the horizontal guide rail 431 and the avoidance curved guide rail 432, while maintaining good stability and guidance.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper ball plunger 14 includes an upper steel ball 16 and an upper return spring 17. The upper steel ball 16 is used to contact the first groove, reducing friction and improving sliding smoothness. The upper return spring 17 is used to maintain a tight contact between the upper steel ball 16 and the first groove, ensuring that the slider 411 does not disengage from the guide rail during movement. Similarly, the lower ball plunger 15 can also adopt a similar structural design.
