[0041] In existing technologies, cleaning probes with a dry brush can only scrape off light substances such as dust on the probe surface, but cannot effectively clean dirt such as electrolyte crystals on the probe.

[0042] Based on this, the present application provides a cleaning fixture that can use a cleaning brush and a cleaning liquid to move the brush with the cleaning liquid back and forth on the surface of the probe to clean the probe, effectively cleaning various dirt such as dust and electrolyte crystals on the probe surface.

[0043] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the cleaning tool disclosed in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a top view of the cleaning assembly 100 and horizontal pusher 222 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. This application discloses a cleaning fixture for cleaning probes of battery production testing equipment, including a cleaning assembly 100. The cleaning assembly 100 includes a cleaning container 11 and a cleaning brush 12. The cleaning container 11 has a liquid storage chamber 111 inside, and an opening communicating with the liquid storage chamber 111 at its top. The opening of the cleaning container 11 allows the probe to extend into the liquid storage chamber 111. The liquid storage chamber 111 stores cleaning fluid. The cleaning brush 12 is disposed within the liquid storage chamber 111 and is rotatably connected to the cleaning container 11. When the cleaning brush 12 rotates, it can carry the cleaning fluid to the surface of the probe.

[0045] Specifically, battery production testing equipment plays a crucial role in lithium battery production. It not only activates the chemical properties of the battery but also ensures the consistency and performance of the battery through precise testing and sorting. Battery production testing equipment includes formation and capacity testing equipment, DCIR (Direct Current Internal Resistance) equipment, and OCV (Open Circuit Voltage) equipment. Battery production testing equipment can include probe assemblies, which consist of multiple probes arranged in an array. Multiple probes can be arranged in one row and then arranged in multiple rows.

[0046] The cleaning work may include a mounting bracket 300, which may be a support frame or a box with an opening at the top, in which the cleaning component 100 can be placed.

[0047] The cleaning container 11 can be a rectangular box or a cylindrical shell, etc., without limitation. The liquid storage chamber 111 inside the cleaning container 11 can store cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid can be hot water or other cleaning solvents. When the cleaning liquid comes into contact with dirt such as electrolyte crystals on the probe surface, it can dissolve various dirt and separate the dirt from the probe.

[0048] The opening of the cleaning container 11 connects the liquid storage chamber 111 with the external space of the cleaning container 11. The probe in the external space can be inserted into the liquid storage chamber 111 through the opening, so that the probe can contact the cleaning brush 12 in the liquid storage chamber 111. The cleaning brush 12 can include a roller and bristles. The bristles are the working part of the cleaning brush 12. The bristles can be nylon filaments, plastic filaments, animal hair (such as pig bristles, horse hair) or metal wires, etc. There are many bristles, which can be evenly distributed on the outer circumferential surface of the roller. The rotation of the roller can drive the bristles to rotate.

[0049] The number of cleaning brushes 12 can be one. The circular roller of the cleaning brush 12 can extend along the first horizontal direction a. The probe extending into the liquid storage cavity 111 can be located above the circular roller and extend into the coverage area of ​​the brush bristles. By rotating the circular roller, the brush bristles can continuously scrape the probe above, thus cleaning the surface of the probe. Alternatively, the number of cleaning brushes 12 can be two. The two cleaning brushes 12 are arranged opposite each other along the second horizontal direction b, where the second horizontal direction b is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction a. The probe extending into the liquid storage cavity 111 from the opening can be located between the two circular rollers. The brush bristles on both circular rollers can contact the probe and clean it respectively.

[0050] The cleaning brush 12 can be rotated manually or by a motor.

[0051] When pouring cleaning fluid into the reservoir 111, it is not necessary to completely fill the reservoir. Fill it with an appropriate amount, ensuring the fluid level is above the lowest point of the cleaning brush 12, allowing the brush to contact the fluid and carry it to the probe. Pouring the appropriate amount of cleaning fluid prevents excessive overflow, avoiding the brush from splashing out large amounts of fluid during rotation, which would not only waste cleaning costs but also pollute the surrounding environment and corrode electronic equipment.

[0052] In this embodiment, a cleaning brush 12 is placed in a liquid storage chamber 111, and a certain amount of cleaning liquid is placed in the liquid storage chamber 111. When the cleaning brush 12 rotates, it can carry the cleaning liquid to the surface of the probe. When the brush bristles come into contact with the probe, they can mix with the cleaning liquid to clean the probe. This can not only effectively clean the dust and other light substances on the probe surface, but also effectively clean the electrolyte crystals and other dirt on the probe surface, thus effectively improving the cleaning effect on the probe.

[0053] According to the present invention, the cleaning fixture can store cleaning fluid in the storage chamber 111 and drive the cleaning fluid to the surface of the probe through the cleaning brush 12. The cleaning brush 12 moves and cleans the surface of the probe while cleaning the electrolyte crystals and other dirt through the cleaning fluid. The cleaning brush 12 and the cleaning fluid work together to make the cleaning brush 12 with cleaning fluid move back and forth on the surface of the probe to clean the probe. It can effectively clean dust, electrolyte crystals and other dirt on the surface of the probe.

[0054] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, the number of cleaning components 100 is multiple sets, and the number of cleaning components 100 is configured to be the same as the number of probes arranged along the first horizontal direction a of the battery production testing equipment;

[0055] The cleaning components 100 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple probes of the battery production testing equipment arranged along the first horizontal direction a.

[0056] Specifically, the battery production testing equipment has multiple probes. These probes can be arranged in four rows along the first horizontal direction a, and then in multiple rows along the second horizontal direction b, so that these probes are arranged in a rectangular array. The number of cleaning components 100 is the same as the number of probes arranged in the first direction, so that the cleaning work can clean all the probes in a row at one time, which can greatly improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0057] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a top view of the cleaning component 100 and the driving component 200 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the driving component 200 is used to drive the cleaning component 100 to move along the vertical direction c and the second horizontal direction b;

[0058] Wherein, the second horizontal direction b is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction a.

[0059] Specifically, the drive assembly 200 is also mounted on the mounting bracket 300. The drive assembly 200 can move the cleaning assembly 100, specifically moving it vertically (c) and horizontally (b). That is, when cleaning the probes with the cleaning assembly 100, since there are multiple probes in each row along the first horizontal direction (a) and multiple rows along the second horizontal direction (b), the cleaning assembly 100 can be configured to have the same number of probes as each row. The drive assembly 200 drives the cleaning assembly 100 upwards, allowing each row of probes to extend into its corresponding liquid reservoir 111. After cleaning one row of probes, the drive assembly 200 lowers the cleaning assembly 100 and then moves it along the second horizontal direction (b) for further cleaning. The cleaning component 100 moves to the bottom of another row of probes, and then is lifted vertically in direction c, so that the probes in this row extend into the corresponding liquid storage chambers 111. A photoelectric sensor can be set on the horizontal pusher 222 to sense the relative position of the horizontal pusher 222 and each probe above. When the drive component 200 drives the cleaning component 100 to move along the second horizontal direction b, it can give a position signal when it senses that the cleaning component 100 has moved to the bottom of the next row of probes, so that the drive component 200 can drive the cleaning component 100 to align with the next row of probes and clean the probes in this row. By repeating the above process, each row of probes can be cleaned automatically, which can greatly save manpower and improve cleaning efficiency.

[0060] Among them, the first horizontal direction a, the second horizontal direction b, and the vertical direction c are not strictly horizontal or vertical, and can be skewed at a certain angle.

[0061] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the cleaning fixture further includes a mounting bracket 300; the drive assembly 200 includes a first drive mechanism 21 and a second drive mechanism 22; the first drive mechanism 21 includes a first drive member 211 and a vertical push member 212, the vertical push member 212 is slidably disposed on the mounting bracket 300 along the vertical direction c, the first drive member 211 is convexly connected to the vertical push member 212 and is used to drive the push member to move along the vertical direction c; the second drive mechanism 22 includes a second drive member 221 and a horizontal push member 222, the horizontal push member 222 is slidably disposed on the vertical push member 212 along the second horizontal direction b, the second drive member 221 is convexly connected to the horizontal push member 222 and is used to drive the horizontal push member 222 to move along the second horizontal direction b, and the cleaning assembly 100 is disposed on the horizontal push member 222.

[0062] Specifically, the drive assembly 200 may include a first drive mechanism 21 and a second drive mechanism 22. The first drive mechanism 21 is mounted on the mounting bracket 300. The first drive member 211 may be a motor and a transmission mechanism that work together to drive the vertical push member 212 to move in the vertical direction c through the rotation of the motor. The transmission mechanism may be a gear and rack structure, where the gear rotates under the drive of the motor, pushing the rack to move up and down, and the rack drives the vertical push member 212 to move up and down, so that the vertical push member 212 can move in the vertical direction c on the mounting bracket 300, changing the height of the cleaning assembly 100. The second drive mechanism... 22 is set on the vertical pusher 212. The second drive member 221 can be a motor and a transmission mechanism working together. The motor rotates to drive the horizontal pusher 222 to move along the second horizontal direction b. The transmission mechanism can be a screw-driven structure, that is, the motor rotates to drive the screw to rotate. The screw is threadedly connected to the horizontal pusher 222. The horizontal pusher 222 is also slidably connected to the vertical pusher 212 through a slide rail. The rotation of the screw drives the horizontal pusher 222 to move along the slide rail, so that the horizontal pusher 222 can move along the second horizontal direction b on the vertical pusher 212, changing the position of the cleaning component 100 along the second horizontal direction b.

[0063] The vertical pusher 212 can be a rectangular plate. Two slide rails extending along the height direction can be provided on the mounting bracket 300. The two slide rails are arranged opposite each other along the second horizontal direction b. The plate of the vertical pusher 212 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide rails and is slidably connected to both slide rails, allowing the vertical pusher 212 to move stably along the vertical direction c on the mounting bracket 300. The horizontal pusher 222 can be a strip-shaped plate extending along the first horizontal direction a. Two slide rails extending along the second direction and arranged opposite each other can be provided on the upper surface of the vertical pusher 212. The opposite ends of the horizontal pusher 222 along the first horizontal direction a are slidably connected to the two slide rails on the upper surface of the vertical pusher 212, allowing the horizontal pusher 222 to slide stably on the vertical pusher 212.

[0064] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a side cross-sectional view of another cleaning component 100 and a horizontal pusher 222 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the cleaning component 100 is positioned adjustable on the horizontal pusher 222 along the first horizontal direction a.

[0065] Specifically, the cleaning component 100 includes a cleaning container 11 and a cleaning brush 12. The positions of the cleaning container 11 and the cleaning brush 12 in the first horizontal direction a are adjustable. By adjusting each cleaning component 100 in the first horizontal direction a, each cleaning component 100 can correspond to the probe in the first horizontal direction a, so that the cleaning fixture in this embodiment has better adaptability and is not only for a single type of probe component. When the relative position of the probe component changes along the probe in the first horizontal direction a, the positions of the cleaning components 100 can also be adjusted to adapt to the probe.

[0066] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cleaning container 11 is disposed on the horizontal pusher 222, and the cleaning container 11 is connected to the horizontal pusher 222 through a first adjustable mechanism, so that the position of the cleaning container 11 is adjustable along the first horizontal direction a.

[0067] Specifically, the cleaning container 11 is positioned in the first horizontal direction a by means of a first adjustable mechanism.

[0068] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the first adjustable mechanism includes a first connecting structure and a plurality of first mounting holes 2221, each of the first mounting holes 2221 being adapted to the first connecting structure, the plurality of first mounting holes 2221 being spaced apart along the first horizontal direction a on the horizontal pusher 222, the first connecting structure being disposed at the bottom of the cleaning container 11, and the first connecting structure corresponding to at least one of the first mounting holes 2221 and being detachably connected.

[0069] Specifically, the first adjustable mechanism here refers to two mutually cooperating structural features. The first mounting hole 2221 belongs to the horizontal pusher 222. Multiple first mounting holes 2221 are arranged along the first horizontal direction a on the horizontal pusher 222. The first connecting structure can be a bolt structure that is threaded into the first mounting holes 2221. A mounting plate can be set at the bottom of the cleaning container 11. The mounting plate has a U-shaped hole that can fit two first mounting holes 2221. After the cleaning container 11 is adjusted to the corresponding position, the first connecting structure is used to fix the cleaning container 11 to the horizontal pusher 222 through the cooperation of the first mounting holes 2221. When the position of the cleaning container 11 needs to be readjusted, the first connecting structure can be disassembled and the cleaning container 11 can be moved. A scale can be installed on the side of the horizontal pusher 222. By referring to the scale, the position of the cleaning container 11 in the first horizontal direction a can be adjusted more conveniently and accurately.

[0070] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cleaning fixture further includes a rotating shaft 400 extending along the first horizontal direction a. The rotating shaft 400 is rotatably mounted on the horizontal pusher 222. A plurality of cleaning brushes 12 are mounted on the rotating shaft 400, and the cleaning brushes 12 are connected to the rotating shaft 400 via a second adjustable mechanism, so that the position of the cleaning brushes 12 along the first horizontal direction a is adjustable.

[0071] Specifically, all cleaning brushes 12 can share a single rotating shaft 400. Each cleaning brush 12 is mounted on this rotating shaft 400, and a single motor can drive all cleaning brushes 12 to rotate together. This results in higher energy efficiency and greater cost savings, as there is no need to install a separate motor for each cleaning brush 12.

[0072] The cleaning brush 12 is positioned in the first horizontal direction a by means of a second adjustable mechanism, that is, when the cleaning component 100 needs to be moved, the cleaning brush 12 and the cleaning container 11 are moved at the same time.

[0073] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the second adjustable mechanism includes a second connecting structure and a plurality of second mounting holes 41, each of the second mounting holes 41 being adapted to the second connecting structure. The plurality of second mounting holes 41 are spaced apart along the first horizontal direction a on the rotating shaft 400. The second connecting structure is disposed on the cleaning brush 12. The second connecting structure corresponds to at least one of the second mounting holes 41 and is detachably connected.

[0074] Specifically, the second adjustable mechanism here refers to two structural features that cooperate with each other. The second mounting hole 41 is arranged on the rotating shaft 400 along the first horizontal direction a. The second connection structure can be a bolt structure. The cleaning brush 12 includes a roller and bristles. The roller can be a hollow roller with an inner diameter that matches the rotating shaft 400 and is sleeved on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 400. The bolt passes through the roller of the cleaning brush 12 and then engages with the second mounting hole 41 by thread to fix the cleaning brush 12 on the rotating shaft 400, so that the cleaning brush 12 can rotate with the rotating shaft 400. By engaging with the second mounting hole 41 at different positions, the fixed position of the cleaning brush 12 can be changed, and thus the position can be changed together with the cleaning container 11, so that the cleaning assembly 100 can be adapted to different types of probe assemblies and adapt to probes at different positions along the first horizontal direction a.

[0075] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the lowest position of the cleaning brush 12 is close to the bottom of the liquid reservoir 111.

[0076] Specifically, the lowest point of the cleaning brush 12 is located at the bottom of the bristles below the cleaning brush 12. The lowest point of the cleaning brush 12 can be 2mm to 10mm from the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 111. This allows the cleaning brush 12 to come into contact with the cleaning fluid when rotating after a small amount of cleaning fluid is added to the liquid storage chamber 111, and to carry the cleaning fluid to the probe for cleaning. This design allows the cleaning brush 12 to be wetted with a small amount of cleaning fluid stored in the liquid storage chamber 111, keeping the liquid level in the liquid storage chamber 111 at a low level. This prevents the cleaning brush 12 from carrying a large amount of cleaning fluid out of the cleaning container 11, polluting the surrounding environment, and splashing cleaning fluid onto nearby electronic devices, which could affect the normal operation of the electronic devices.

[0077] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the opening of the cleaning container 11 is provided with a liquid-repellent membrane 13, the liquid-repellent membrane 13 having a through hole 131, the diameter of the through hole 131 being adapted to the outer diameter of the probe.

[0078] Specifically, the liquid-blocking membrane 13 is set at the opening of the cleaning container 11 to seal the opening. The diameter of the through hole 131 is adapted to the outer diameter of the probe, which can be slightly smaller or equal to the outer diameter of the probe, so that the probe can be inserted into the liquid storage chamber 111. At the same time, it blocks the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage chamber 111 driven by the cleaning brush 12 to prevent the cleaning liquid from being thrown out.

[0079] Among them, the probe liquid-blocking membrane 13 can be an EPDM membrane (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer Membrane), which has good waterproof and corrosion resistance, can effectively block cleaning liquids, and has a longer service life.

[0080] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a side cross-sectional view of the cleaning component 100 and the horizontal pusher 222 disclosed in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the bottom of the cleaning container 11 has a drain port 112, one end of which is connected to the liquid storage chamber 111, and the other end is used to connect to the external space. The drain port 112 is provided with a removable plug 14.

[0081] Specifically, the plug 14 can be a rubber plug 14 or a screw-on plug 14. After the plug 14 is removed, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning container 11 can be discharged from the drain port 112 under the action of gravity, which can easily and quickly drain the cleaning fluid so that the cleaning fluid can be replaced.

[0082] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cleaning apparatus further includes:

[0083] A power supply component 500 is provided to power the cleaning equipment.

[0084] A protective cover 600 is provided on top of the power supply assembly 500 and is lower than the opening of the cleaning container 11.

[0085] Specifically, the power supply component 500 can be a contact-type electrical connection component. After the cleaning work is placed on the battery production and testing equipment, the power supply component 500 contacts the contact-type electrical connection port of the battery production and testing equipment, and can supply power to the cleaning work through the battery production and testing equipment. It can also be electrically connected to the host computer of the battery production and testing equipment, and control the various moving parts of the cleaning work through the host computer of the battery production and testing equipment.

[0086] The protective cover 600 is located below the opening of the cleaning container 11 and covers the top of the power supply component 500.
