Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum shell cleaning technology, specifically to a cleaning basket used in automatic ultrasonic cleaning. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, ultrasonic cleaning baskets for battery aluminum casings are designed to prevent collisions between aluminum casings or are equipped with baffles. However, these baffles can obstruct the entry of cleaning fluid, leading to incomplete cleaning and a low yield of high-quality products. Alternatively, limiting blocks can be added, but automated insertion into the casing is difficult, and the cleaning fluid in contact with the inner surface of the aluminum casing has poor flowability, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, during the oil and water removal process after cleaning, existing cleaning baskets are prone to cap detachment, causing equipment malfunctions. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning basket for automatic ultrasonic cleaning.
[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model proposes a cleaning basket for automatic ultrasonic cleaning, including a lower basket and an upper cover frame hinged to the lower basket. The lower basket is provided with a plurality of n-shaped brackets for limiting the aluminum shell, and the upper cover frame is provided with elastic ear buckles for fastening the lower basket.
[0006] Furthermore, a crossbar is fixed to the bottom surface of the lower basket, the lower end of the n-shaped bracket is fixed to the crossbar, a gap is left between adjacent n-shaped brackets, and both sides of the upper end of the n-shaped bracket have an inclined surface that facilitates the insertion of the aluminum shell.
[0007] Furthermore, the n-shaped bracket is composed of a pair of support members, and the sides of the pair of support members are connected by rods to make the top and sides of the n-shaped bracket have a hollow area.
[0008] Furthermore, the top of the n-shaped support has an inwardly tapering narrow opening.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower basket and one side of the upper cover frame are hinged by a flip-top hinge, and the elastic buckle is located on the upper cover frame on the opposite side of the flip-top hinge.
[0010] Furthermore, the elastic ear loop is S-shaped, with its upper end welded to the upper cover frame, and the upper opening of the elastic ear loop facing the n-shaped bracket.
[0011] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has a simple structure, which can improve cleaning efficiency and quality. The hollow and gathered n-shaped bracket realizes the automated introduction of the cleaning solution and facilitates the insertion of the cleaning solution into the shell, reducing the difficulty of insertion due to size errors. At the same time, it can ensure that the aluminum shell can fully contact the cleaning solution and ensure that the cleaning solution in contact with the aluminum shell can flow. The elastic ear buckle realizes the stable connection between the lower basket and the upper cover frame, solving the problem of the cleaning basket detaching due to oil and water splashing during cleaning, thereby reducing equipment failure.

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] See Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, a cleaning basket for automatic ultrasonic cleaning includes a lower basket 1 and an upper cover frame 2 hinged to the lower basket 1. The lower basket 1 is provided with a plurality of n-shaped brackets 3 for limiting the aluminum shell 00. The upper cover frame 2 is provided with elastic ear buckles 4 for fastening the lower basket 1. The aluminum shell 00 is limited on the n-shaped brackets, avoiding collisions between the aluminum shells. At the same time, the elastic ear buckles 4 ensure a stable connection when the lower basket 1 and the upper cover frame 2 are fastened.
[0019] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, a crossbar 11 is fixed to the bottom surface of the lower basket 1, the lower end of the n-shaped bracket 3 is fixed to the crossbar 11, a gap 6 is left between adjacent n-shaped brackets 3, and both sides of the upper end of the n-shaped bracket 3 have an inclined surface 33 that facilitates the insertion of the aluminum shell; it is convenient for the aluminum shell 00 to be introduced and facilitates automated shell insertion.
[0020] See Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, the n-shaped bracket 3 is composed of a pair of support members 31, and the sides of the pair of support members 31 are connected by rods 32 so that the top and sides of the n-shaped bracket 3 form a hollow area; which facilitates the flow of cleaning fluid and further ensures the complete cleaning of the aluminum shell 00.
[0021] See Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the top of the n-shaped bracket 3 has an inwardly narrow opening (i.e., the distance d1 between the tops of a pair of support members is less than the distance d2 between the bottoms of a pair of support members); this further facilitates the introduction of the aluminum shell 00 and makes it easier for automated shell insertion.
[0022] See Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the lower basket 1 and the upper cover frame 2 are hinged on one side by a flip-top hinge 5, and the elastic buckle 4 is located on the upper cover frame 2 on the opposite side of the flip-top hinge 5; to ensure a stable connection between the lower basket 1 and the upper cover frame 2 when cleaning and shaking off oil and water.
[0023] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the elastic ear buckle 4 is S-shaped, the upper end of the elastic ear buckle 4 is welded to the upper cover frame 2, and the upper opening of the elastic ear buckle 4 faces the n-shaped bracket 3; the middle corner of the S-shaped elastic ear buckle 4 can limit the edges of the lower basket 1 and the upper cover frame 2 to be within the upper opening, ensuring a stable connection between the lower basket 1 and the upper cover frame 2 when fastened.
[0024] In practical applications, the aluminum shell is automatically introduced by the robotic arm or manually placed into the n-shaped bracket. The upper cover frame rotates around the flip hinge to cover the lower basket, and the edges of the lower basket and the upper cover frame are confined within the upper opening. Then, processes such as cleaning, tossing and shaking to remove water and oil are carried out.
[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are given for the purpose of illustration and description. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of this utility model.
