Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to an automatic rinsing device and system for battery tank covers. Background Technology

[0002] In photovoltaic cell production, alkaline texturing is a commonly used surface treatment method. This process improves cell efficiency by creating a fine, textured surface on the cell, increasing light scattering and absorption. This process is typically carried out in a tank cleaning system, involving multiple tanks, each handling different process steps. Cells are placed in specific baskets and sequentially fed into each tank by a robotic arm. These tanks contain alkaline solutions of varying concentrations to achieve microstructural treatment of the cell surface. The movement of the baskets between tanks is automated to ensure process continuity and consistency. However, during basket movement, some alkaline solution drips onto the tank covers. This residual liquid gradually forms white alkaline crystals on the tank cover surface as moisture evaporates. These crystals easily detach during the daily opening and closing of the tank covers, falling into the tank and contaminating the cells.

[0003] Currently, there is no mature automated cleaning solution for the problem of alkali crystallization contamination on tank covers. Existing equipment generally relies on manual periodic cleaning of the tank covers, which is not only inefficient but also prone to leaving blind spots due to the inability to achieve thorough cleaning. Furthermore, manual cleaning also poses certain safety risks, as operators need to directly contact corrosive alkali solutions. Although existing technologies attempt to address the tank cover cleaning problem, such as adding spray nozzles for localized cleaning, they often only clean specific areas of the tank cover, failing to achieve complete coverage cleaning and thus failing to fundamentally solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the cleaning range of existing cleaning devices cannot cover the entire tank cover.

[0014] When the cylinder piston rod moves to the position of each of the magnetic switches, the flushing pipe is aligned with the corresponding area for cleaning.

[0015] Secondly, this utility model also provides an automatic tank cover rinsing system, which employs the automatic tank cover rinsing device as described in any of the preceding claims, and further includes:

It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] This embodiment provides an automatic rinsing device for tank covers, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes:

[0039] A flushing pipe 5, wherein a plurality of nozzles 3 are provided on the flushing pipe 5;

[0040] The drive mechanism includes a cylinder 11 and a transmission assembly for connecting the cylinder 11 to the flushing pipe 5. The cylinder 11 is provided with a plurality of magnetic switches for controlling its position.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the automatic rinsing device for the tank cover mainly comprises two parts: a rinsing pipe 5 and a driving mechanism. The rinsing pipe 5 serves as a channel for conveying the cleaning medium, and its surface is provided with multiple nozzles 3. These nozzles 3 spray the cleaning fluid onto the surface of the tank cover 1 at a certain pressure, thereby achieving the cleaning function.

[0042] The drive mechanism comprises two main parts: a cylinder 11 and a transmission assembly. The cylinder 11 serves as the power source, driving the flushing pipe 5 in reciprocating motion via the transmission assembly. Multiple magnetic switches are installed on the cylinder 11, which detect the position of the piston rod, thereby achieving precise control of the flushing pipe 5's movement. The transmission assembly converts the linear motion of the cylinder 11 into the reciprocating oscillating motion of the flushing pipe 5, ensuring that the flushing pipe 5 moves along a predetermined trajectory.

[0043] With this structural design, the device can automatically complete the rinsing of the tank cover 1, and has the characteristics of simple structure, precise control and high degree of automation.

[0044] Furthermore, one end of the flushing pipe 5 is provided with a plug, and the other end is provided with a flushing pipe connection joint 20. One end of the flushing pipe 5 is connected to the water inlet pipe 7.

[0045] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The specific structure of the flushing pipe 5 includes: a plug at one end to prevent cleaning fluid leakage, and a flushing pipe connection joint 20 at the other end for connection with the transmission assembly. The flushing pipe 5 also has a water inlet for connecting to an external water source to provide cleaning medium for cleaning.

[0046] Furthermore, the cylinder 11 is provided with air inlets at both ends, and the air inlets are connected to an air source.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 2 The cylinder 11 has a first air inlet 15 and a second air inlet 19 at its two ends. The first air inlet 15 is located at the front end of the cylinder 11 and is used to control the backward movement of the piston rod. The second air inlet 19 is located at the rear end of the cylinder 11 and is used to control the forward movement of the piston rod. When the first air inlet 15 is vented and the second air inlet 19 is vented, the piston rod moves backward under air pressure. When the second air inlet 19 is vented and the first air inlet 15 is vented, the piston rod moves forward under air pressure. By alternately venting and venting air through the two air inlets, the reciprocating motion of the piston rod is achieved, thereby driving the transmission assembly to make the flushing pipe 5 oscillate back and forth.

[0048] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a cylinder 11 mounting base, a cylinder elbow joint 12, and a cylinder connecting torsion arm 13. The cylinder 11 is fixed by the cylinder 11 mounting base, and the movable end of the cylinder 11 is connected to the cylinder connecting torsion arm 13 through the cylinder elbow joint 12.

[0049] For details, please refer to Figure 2In the transmission assembly, the cylinder elbow joint 12 is connected to the movable end of the cylinder 11. One end of the cylinder connecting torsion arm 13 is hinged to the cylinder elbow joint 12, and the other end is fixedly connected to the flushing pipe connecting joint 20. This connection method converts the linear motion of the cylinder 11 into the reciprocating oscillating motion of the flushing pipe 5, thereby driving the flushing pipe 5. The cylinder 11 fixing seat is used to fix the cylinder 11 in a designated position to ensure the stability of the transmission.

[0050] In this embodiment, the cylinder elbow joint 12 adopts an I-type structure. This structure allows the elbow joint to transmit the linear motion of the cylinder while adapting to the rotational requirements of the connecting torsion arm, avoiding stress concentration caused by uncoordinated motion. Simultaneously, the I-type structure has good strength and rigidity, and is not easily deformed during reciprocating motion, ensuring stable and reliable transmission. Furthermore, the I-type structure design facilitates processing and assembly, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0051] Furthermore, the cylinder mounting base 10 is provided with a through hole for installing a limiting pin 14. The limiting pin 14 passes through the through hole and cooperates with both ends of the cylinder 11 to limit the piston stroke of the cylinder 11.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 2 The limit pin 14 engages with both ends of the cylinder 11 through the through hole on the cylinder mounting seat 10. When the piston rod of the cylinder 11 moves to the position, the limit pin 14 can promptly stop the piston from continuing to move, thus playing a mechanical limit protection role. This prevents damage to the cylinder 11 due to overtravel of the piston rod caused by control system failure, thereby improving the safety of equipment operation.

[0053] Furthermore, the magnetic switch includes a first magnetic switch 16, a second magnetic switch 17 and a third magnetic switch 18 arranged sequentially along the length of the cylinder 11;

[0054] The third magnetic switch 18 is used to detect the position of the cylinder piston rod when it moves to the lower region of the corresponding slot cover; the second magnetic switch 17 is used to detect the position of the cylinder piston rod when it moves to the middle region of the corresponding slot cover; the first magnetic switch 16 is used to detect the position of the cylinder piston rod when it moves to the upper region of the corresponding slot cover.

[0055] When the cylinder piston rod moves to the position of each of the magnetic switches, the flushing pipe 5 is aligned with the corresponding area for cleaning.

[0056] Specifically, when the tank cover needs cleaning, open the tank cover to the open / closed state, and ventilate cylinder 11 to the third magnetic switch 18. At this time, align the flushing pipe 5 with the lower area of ​​the open / closed tank cover. External hot water enters the flushing pipe 5 through the manual diaphragm valve and the pneumatic diaphragm valve, and is used in conjunction with the spray angle of the nozzle to clean the lower area of ​​the tank cover. After the lower area is cleaned, ventilate cylinder 11 to the second magnetic switch 17. At this time, align the flushing pipe 5 with the middle area of ​​the open / closed tank cover and ventilate hot water to clean the middle area. After the middle area is cleaned, ventilate cylinder 11 to the first magnetic switch 16. At this time, align the flushing pipe with the upper area of ​​the open / closed tank cover and ventilate hot water to clean the upper area. This completes the cleaning of the entire tank cover surface.

[0058] Secondly, this utility model also provides an automatic rinsing system for the tank cover 1, which adopts the automatic rinsing device for the tank cover 1 as described in Embodiment 1, and further includes:

[0059] The tank body has inter-tank guide plates 8 on both sides of the tank body;

[0060] Support components are used to support and secure the flushing pipe 5;

[0061] Drainage assembly for collecting and discharging cleaning waste liquid.

[0062] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The automatic tank cover rinsing system provided in this embodiment includes four main parts: a tank body, a support assembly, an automatic tank cover rinsing device, and a drainage assembly. The tank body has inter-tank guide plates 8 on both sides to guide and block the cleaning fluid; the support assembly supports and fixes the rinsing pipe 5; the automatic tank cover rinsing device is the same as the device described in Embodiment 1; and the drainage assembly collects and discharges the waste liquid generated during the rinsing process, forming a complete rinsing system.

[0063] Furthermore, the inter-tank guide plate 8 is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. This design allows the cleaning fluid to flow rapidly along the surface of the guide plate and collect at the bottom, preventing the cleaning fluid from accumulating on the surface of the guide plate and improving the waste liquid collection efficiency.

[0064] Furthermore, the support assembly includes: a flushing pipe limiting support 2 disposed at the front of the tank body, the flushing pipe limiting support 2 having a positioning groove in the middle; a plurality of flushing pipe intermediate support seats 4 disposed on the inter-tank guide plate 8, the flushing pipe intermediate support seats 4 having a fixing slot; and a flushing pipe rear support seat 6 disposed at the rear of the tank body, the flushing pipe rear support seat 6 having a through hole in the middle.

[0065] The positioning groove of the flushing pipe limiting support 2 is matched with the front end of the flushing pipe 5, the fixing groove of the middle support is evenly distributed along the length of the flushing pipe 5, and the through hole of the rear support is matched with the tail end of the flushing pipe 5. The three work together to ensure that the flushing pipe 5 runs smoothly during the reciprocating swing.

[0066] Furthermore, the drainage assembly includes: a flow guide box 9 disposed below the flow guide plate 8 in the tank; and a tank hanging plate 21 with a drainage port 22, wherein the flow guide box 9 is connected to the drainage port 22.

[0067] Specifically, the drainage assembly includes a guide box 9 located below the guide plate 8 between tanks, and a tank hanging plate 21 with a drain port 22. The guide box 9 is connected to the drain port 22, forming a complete drainage channel to ensure timely discharge of waste liquid. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the tank hanging plate 21 is set at the bottom of the tank body. This arrangement facilitates the natural flow of waste liquid under gravity, improving the drainage efficiency.

[0068] In summary, an automatic tank cover rinsing device is provided. This device uses a cylinder 11 as a drive source, which drives a rinsing pipe 5 equipped with nozzles 3 to reciprocate through a transmission assembly. Three magnetic switches on the cylinder 11 are used to detect the origin, deceleration, and endpoint positions, respectively, enabling precise control of the cylinder 11. Limit pins 14 are installed at both ends of the cylinder 11 as mechanical protection devices to prevent overtravel. The entire device is installed on both sides of the tank body and, together with the inter-tank guide plate 8, support assembly, and drainage assembly, forms a complete rinsing system.

[0069] The flushing pipe 5 is driven by a cylinder 11 in conjunction with a transmission assembly, and a dual protection mechanism of magnetic switch and limit pin 14 is employed, making the device simple in structure, precise in control, and reliable in operation. The evenly distributed nozzles 3 on the flushing pipe 5, combined with reciprocating oscillation, achieve large-area uniform flushing. The top-narrow, bottom-wide guide plate design facilitates rapid discharge of waste liquid, and the multi-point support structure ensures stable operation. The modular design facilitates installation and maintenance, has excellent adaptability, significantly improves cleaning efficiency, reduces labor costs, and solves the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive, and uneven cleaning of existing tank covers by manual cleaning.
