[0003] Laser cleaning is divided into two steps of positioning and cleaning. In the pole cleaning device disclosed in CN118455730A, the first positioning assembly and the laser assembly are both installed on the same side of the first mounting plate, which will cause the side of the first mounting plate to be too heavy, so that when the first positioning assembly and the laser assembly are lifted or when the first mounting plate is translated by the translation driving assembly, the first positioning assembly and the laser assembly will shake, thereby affecting the positioning accuracy and cleaning quality.

Detailed Implementation

[0051] Some embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical principles of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0052] As described in the background section, in the lithium battery module production process, before welding and fixing the busbar to the battery cell's terminals, the battery cell's terminals need to be laser-cleaned. Laser cleaning consists of two steps: positioning and cleaning. In current terminal cleaning devices, the positioning component and the laser component are installed on the same side of the connecting base, which causes one side of the connecting base to be too heavy and the force to be extremely uneven. This results in shaking when the positioning component and the laser component move during operation, leading to poor positioning accuracy and cleaning quality.

[0053] To address the aforementioned issues, this application creatively proposes an addressing and cleaning device that integrates an addressing mechanism for locating the battery cell's terminals and a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the battery cell's terminals onto a mounting frame. The first set of opposite sides of the mounting frame is mounted on the drive end of the drive mechanism, while the addressing mechanism and the cleaning mechanism are respectively mounted on the second set of opposite sides of the mounting frame. The addressing mechanism and the cleaning mechanism are symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame, resulting in a more balanced force distribution on the mounting frame. When the mounting frame is driven by the drive mechanism, the addressing mechanism and the cleaning mechanism are less prone to shaking, thus avoiding any impact on positioning accuracy and cleaning quality due to shaking.

[0054] The present application will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.
