Detailed Implementation

[0049] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0050] To enable the reuse of waste battery pack trays, a descaling agent needs to be injected into the tray. The descaling agent can penetrate and decompose the structural adhesive inside the tray, thereby separating the tray from the battery cells and facilitating the reuse of both the tray and the battery cells.

[0051] However, after the adhesive remover breaks down the structural adhesive, impurities remain inside the pallet and need to be cleaned. Currently, manual cleaning is used, such as manually holding a water gun to spray the pallet, which wastes manpower.

[0052] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Combination Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a tray cleaning device, comprising:

[0054] The frame 100 and the mounting bracket 200 are rotatably mounted on the frame 100.

[0055] A rotating mechanism 300 is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to drive the mounting bracket 200 to rotate on the frame 100.

[0056] A fixing mechanism 400 is provided on the mounting frame 200 and is used to fix the tray on the mounting frame 200.

[0057] Cleaning mechanism 500 is installed on frame 100 and is used to clean the trays on mounting frame 200.

[0058] In this embodiment, the frame 100 includes a base frame 110 and two boxes 120. The two boxes 120 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the base frame 110. Both the base frame 110 and the mounting frame 200 include multiple connecting rods arranged horizontally and vertically. The mounting frame 200 is rotatably arranged between the two boxes 120 of the frame 100. Rotating shafts are provided at both ends of the mounting frame 200. One rotating shaft is rotatably arranged on one of the boxes 120 through a bearing, and the other rotating shaft passes through and is rotatably connected to the other box 120.

[0059] In this application, when the pallet needs cleaning, the pallet is placed on the mounting frame 200 and fixed on the mounting frame 200 by the fixing mechanism 400. The cleaning mechanism 500 can automatically clean the pallet on the mounting frame 200, thus eliminating the need for manual cleaning and saving manpower. By rotating the mounting frame 200 on the frame 100 and using the rotation mechanism 300, the angle of the mounting frame 200 can be adjusted, allowing the mounting frame 200 to adjust the angle of the pallet. This facilitates the cleaning mechanism 500 in cleaning different positions of the pallet, thereby indirectly improving the cleaning quality of the pallet by the cleaning mechanism 500. Furthermore, there is no need for manual rotation of the mounting frame 200, further saving manpower.

[0060] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The rotating mechanism 300 includes a rotating gear 310, a driving gear 320, and a rotating component 330. The rotating gear 310 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the mounting frame 200. The driving gear 320 meshes with the rotating gear 310. The rotating component 330 is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to drive the driving gear 320 to rotate.

[0061] In this embodiment, the rotating gear 310 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the end of the mounting bracket 200 away from the bearing. Both the rotating gear 310 and the drive gear 320 are located outside the housing 120. The rotating component 330 includes a rotating motor, which is fixedly installed inside the housing 120. The drive gear 320 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the rotating motor. The diameter of the rotating gear 310 is larger than the diameter of the drive gear 320, thereby improving the accuracy of the angle adjustment of the mounting bracket 200.

[0062] In other embodiments, the rotating mechanism 300 can also be replaced by a gear, rack and pinion and a linear motor. By sleeved on the rotating shaft, the rack meshes with the gear, and the linear motor drives the rack to move back and forth, so that the rack drives the gear to rotate. The gear can also drive the mounting bracket 200 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the mounting bracket 200.

[0063] In this application, the mounting bracket 200 is driven to rotate by the meshing of the drive gear 320 and the rotating gear 310. This gear transmission ensures a precise transmission ratio, guaranteeing smooth and controllable movement of the mounting bracket 200. Secondly, this transmission method has high efficiency, typically exceeding 95%, effectively reducing energy loss. Furthermore, gear transmissions have a high load-bearing capacity, making them suitable for high-torque and heavy-load applications. Their compact structure enables efficient power transmission within limited space. Simultaneously, gear transmissions offer high reliability, long service life, and easy maintenance. Finally, gear transmissions operate relatively smoothly with low noise, especially with high-precision design and good lubrication.

[0064] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The fixing mechanism 400 includes clamping cylinders, and at least two clamping cylinders are provided on each of the opposite sides of the mounting bracket 200, forming a fixing space between the multiple clamping cylinders for accommodating the tray.

[0065] In this embodiment, four clamping cylinders are provided, two of which are located on one side of the mounting frame 200 and the other two are located on the other side of the mounting frame 200. The drive ends of the two clamping cylinders on the same side of the mounting frame 200 are arranged opposite each other. Rubber blocks are provided on the drive ends of the clamping cylinders. The use of rubber blocks increases the friction between the cylinder and the tray and prevents damage to the tray. In other embodiments, the fixing mechanism 400 can also be replaced by a clamping electric cylinder or a spring.

[0066] In this application, by employing multiple clamping cylinders to clamp the pallet, high-precision clamping force and position control can be achieved, ensuring the pallet remains stable during cleaning, thereby effectively reducing vibration and impact and improving safety. The rapid response characteristics of the clamping cylinders can significantly shorten operation time and greatly improve production efficiency. The clamping cylinders have a compact structure, occupy little space, and can be flexibly applied to pallets of different sizes and shapes, making them widely applicable. Automated clamping also reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation, reduces labor costs, and further improves production efficiency.

[0067] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The pallet cleaning device also includes an adjustment mechanism 410. Multiple clamping cylinders on the same side of the mounting frame 200 are slidably connected to the mounting frame 200. The adjustment mechanism 410 is set on the mounting frame 200. The adjustment mechanism 410 is used to drive multiple clamping cylinders on one side of the mounting frame 200 to move closer to or away from multiple clamping cylinders on the other side.

[0068] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 410 is used to drive two clamping cylinders on one side of the mounting bracket 200 to move closer to or further away from two clamping cylinders on the other side.

[0069] In this application, by adopting the adjustment mechanism 410, the distance between the clamping cylinders on both sides of the mounting bracket 200 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the fixing space between the four clamping cylinders, so that the four clamping cylinders can be further adapted to pallets of different specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the fixing mechanism 400.

[0070] Combination Figures 1 to 3 A rod 210 is slidably mounted on the mounting bracket 200. Multiple clamping cylinders on the same side of the mounting bracket 200 are mounted on the rod 210. The adjusting mechanism 410 is used to drive the rod 210 to move closer to or away from the multiple clamping cylinders on the other side.

[0071] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 220 is provided on the mounting frame 200 at the location of the four clamping cylinders. Two fixing plates 220 on the same side of the mounting frame 200 are provided with first slide rails 221 in the horizontal direction. The rod 210 spans between the two first slide rails 221 and is slidably connected to the mounting frame 200 through the two first slide rails 221. Two clamping cylinders on the same side of the mounting frame 200 are provided on the rod 210.

[0072] In this application, by adopting the rod body 210, the two clamping cylinders on one side of the mounting bracket 200 can simultaneously move closer to or further away from the two clamping cylinders on the other side of the mounting bracket 200, thereby facilitating the simultaneous adjustment of the positions of the two clamping cylinders.

[0073] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The adjustment mechanism 410 includes an adjustment electric cylinder, which is mounted on the mounting bracket 200, and the rod 210 is connected to the drive end of the adjustment electric cylinder.

[0074] In this embodiment, the adjusting electric cylinder is located on the side of the mounting bracket 200 away from the rod body 210; in other embodiments, the adjusting mechanism 410 can be replaced by an adjusting air cylinder or an adjusting hydraulic cylinder, etc.

[0075] In this application, an adjustable electric cylinder is used to drive the rod 210, enabling high-precision control that achieves micron-level position and speed adjustment, allowing the rod 210 to be fixed at a designated position. The adjustable electric cylinder has a simple structure and low maintenance costs, reducing daily maintenance investment. Furthermore, its flexibility and programmability allow it to adapt to diverse production scenarios and achieve complex motion control. In addition, the electric cylinder can operate stably in harsh environments and is energy-efficient, further reducing operating costs.

[0076] Combination Figures 1 to 3 The pallet cleaning device also includes multiple pads 230, which are all mounted on the mounting frame 200 and are used to support the pallet.

[0077] In this embodiment, six pads 230 are provided. The six pads 230 are detachably connected to the side of the mounting bracket 200 away from the adjusting electric cylinder by bolts. The pads 230 are made of plastic or rubber to prevent the tray from contacting the pads 230 and causing the tray to corrode when the tray is placed on the pads 230.

[0078] like Figure 4 As shown, the tray cleaning device also includes a protective cover 600, which is mounted on the frame 100. The mounting bracket 200 is rotatably mounted inside the protective cover 600, and the top of the protective cover 600 is provided with an opening 610.

[0079] In this embodiment, the rotating shafts on both sides of the mounting bracket 200 are respectively inserted and rotatably connected to the protective cover 600, which is set on the two boxes 120 of the frame 100. A stabilizing frame 640 is provided on the protective cover 600 and supported on the ground. By using the stabilizing frame 640, the protective cover 600 can be supported, thereby improving the stability of the protective cover 600. The shape of the stabilizing frame 640 can be adjusted as needed.

[0080] In this application, by adopting the protective cover 600, when the cleaning mechanism 500 cleans the tray on the mounting frame 200, the protective cover 600 can prevent impurities generated during cleaning from splashing, thereby preventing impurities from affecting the nearby environment and personnel.

[0081] like Figure 4 As shown, the pallet cleaning device also includes a collection bin 620, which is installed on the frame 100. The bottom of the protective cover 600 is provided with a discharge port, and the collection bin 620 is used to collect impurities discharged from the discharge port.

[0082] In this embodiment, the collection bucket 620 is placed on the base frame 110 of the frame 100, and the collection bucket 620 is arranged opposite to the discharge port. The shapes of the protective cover 600 and the collection bucket 620 can be adjusted as needed. In other embodiments, the collection bucket 620 can also be detachably connected to the base frame 110 by magnetic attraction or bolt connection.

[0083] In this application, by adopting the arrangement of the collection bin 620, when the cleaning mechanism 500 cleans the pallet on the mounting frame 200, the impurities generated by cleaning the pallet can enter the collection bin 620 along the discharge port of the protective cover 600, thereby facilitating the one-time cleaning of the impurities generated during cleaning.

[0084] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 Mounting plates 130 are provided on both sides of the frame 100, and the protective cover 600 is detachably connected to the mounting plates 130.

[0085] In this embodiment, two mounting plates 130 are provided on each of the two boxes 120 of the frame 100, and the mounting plates 130 on both sides are arranged opposite to each other. The protective cover 600 is detachably connected to the mounting plates 130 by bolts. In other embodiments, the protective cover 600 can also be detachably connected to the mounting plates 130 by snap-fit ​​or magnetic adsorption, or the protective cover 600 can include multiple splicing plates that are spliced ​​together. By connecting the multiple splicing plates with bolts, it is easy to assemble and disassemble the protective cover 600.

[0086] In this application, by adopting the mounting plate 130, the protective cover 600 can be detachably connected to the mounting plate 130, thereby facilitating the removal of the protective cover 600 for cleaning and replacement, and indirectly improving the service life of the protective cover 600.

[0087] Combination Figures 1 to 6 The cleaning mechanism 500 includes a support frame 510 and an air knife 520. The support frame 510 is mounted on the frame 100, and the air knife 520 is mounted on the support frame 510.

[0088] In this embodiment, the support frame 510 includes two columns 511 and a support rod 512. The support rod 512 is mounted on the two columns 511 and is arranged along the length direction parallel to the first slide rail 221. One end of the two columns 511 is mounted on the base frame 110 of the frame body 100. The columns 511 are detachably connected to the protective cover 600 by bolts. The angle between the air knife 520 and the ground is 20°-40°. In this embodiment, the angle between the air knife 520 and the ground is 30°. In other embodiments, the angle between the air knife 520 and the ground can be adjusted as needed. For example, a rotating motor can be provided to drive the air knife 520 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle between the air knife 520 and the ground.

[0089] In this application, an air knife 520 is used to clean pallets. The air knife 520 can efficiently remove dust, impurities, and residues from the surface and interior of pallets through high-speed, stable airflow, resulting in significant and rapid cleaning. Secondly, the airflow design of the air knife 520 can be flexibly adjusted according to the shape and size of the pallet, ensuring the precision and comprehensiveness of the cleaning process. Furthermore, the air knife 520 does not require the use of chemical agents during cleaning, avoiding potential pollution to the pallets and the environment, thus meeting green environmental protection requirements. Simultaneously, the air knife 520 operates with low noise, minimizing its impact on the production environment. The air knife 520 has a long service life, no easily damaged internal parts, low maintenance costs, and is suitable for long-term stable use.

[0090] Combination Figures 1 to 6The cleaning mechanism 500 also includes a movable component. The air knife 520 is slidably mounted on the support frame 510. The movable component is mounted on the support frame 510 and is used to drive the air knife 520 to move on the support frame 510.

[0091] In this embodiment, the protective cover 600 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 630, the air knife 520 is slidably disposed in the strip-shaped hole 630 along the length direction of the strip-shaped hole 630, the air knife 520 is slidably disposed on the support rod 512 along the length direction of the support rod 512, the moving part includes a rack, a gear and a moving motor, the rack is disposed on the support rod 512 along the length direction of the support rod 512, the gear meshes with the rack, the gear is disposed on the drive end of the moving motor, and the moving motor is disposed on the air knife 520.

[0092] In this application, a mobile motor drives a gear to rotate, causing the gear to move on a rack, which in turn moves the air knife 520. By using a gear, rack, and motor to drive the air knife 520 in reciprocating motion to clean the pallet, significant efficiency and precision are achieved. This driving method enables high-precision linear reciprocating motion with a transmission accuracy of up to 0.1 mm, ensuring that the air knife 520 accurately covers all parts of the pallet during cleaning. Furthermore, by driving the air knife 520, it can adapt to the cleaning needs of pallets of different sizes, and the moving speed and stroke of the air knife 520 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual working conditions.

[0093] In other embodiments, the moving part can be replaced by a screw and a motor. The screw is rotatably mounted on the support rod 512 along its length. A threaded block connected to the screw is provided on the air knife 520. The motor drives the screw to rotate forward or backward. Since the air knife 520 is slidably mounted on the support rod 512, the air knife 520 will not rotate with the screw. This allows the air knife 520 to move on the screw, which can also drive the air knife 520 to move back and forth, thereby achieving the cleaning of the tray.

[0094] Combination Figures 1 to 6 The cleaning mechanism 500 also includes a detection element, which is set on the cleaning mechanism 500 and is used to detect the cleanliness status of the tray.

[0095] In this embodiment, the detection component is mounted on the air knife 520 of the cleaning mechanism 500 to move synchronously with the air knife 520 for detection. The detection component is a 3D camera, which performs non-contact scanning of the tray to acquire its three-dimensional image data. Computer vision algorithms are then used to preprocess the image, extract features, and identify defects to determine whether the cleanliness of the tray meets the requirements. The detection process can be automated, covering all surfaces and corners of the tray. The detection results are recorded and classified in real time, and non-conforming products can be cleaned again.

[0096] In this application, the use of a 3D camera to detect the cleanliness of a tray offers advantages such as high efficiency, accuracy, high automation, and comprehensive coverage. It can quickly identify residual impurities or uncleaned areas on the surface, reducing manual intervention and lowering the risk of missed or false detections. Simultaneously, it supports data recording and analysis, facilitating quality traceability and process optimization, improving detection efficiency, and significantly reducing labor costs.

[0097] Combination Figures 7 to 9 The pallet cleaning device also includes a loading and unloading mechanism 700, which is used to move the pallet onto the mounting frame 200 and remove the pallet from the mounting frame 200.

[0098] In this application, by adopting the loading and unloading mechanism 700, the pallet can be automatically moved to the mounting rack 200 and the cleaned pallet can be automatically removed. There is no need for manual placement of the pallet on the mounting rack 200, nor is there a need for manual removal of the cleaned pallet from the mounting rack 200, thereby further saving manpower.

[0099] Combination Figures 7 to 9 The loading and unloading mechanism 700 includes a clamp 710 and a robot arm 720. The clamp 710 is mounted on the robot arm 720 and is used to grip the pallet. The robot arm 720 is used to drive the clamp 710 to move closer to or away from the mounting frame 200.

[0100] In this application, a robotic arm 720 is used for pallet loading and unloading operations. The robotic arm 720 enables fast and precise handling and positioning, and its high efficiency significantly shortens the production cycle and reduces labor costs. Secondly, the automated operation of the robotic arm 720 reduces human intervention, lowering safety risks and quality problems caused by human error, while also preventing pallet damage during handling. Furthermore, the flexibility of the robotic arm 720 allows it to adapt to pallets of different sizes and shapes, as well as varying production needs, further enhancing the adaptability and stability of production.

[0101] Combination Figures 7 to 9 The fixture 710 includes a connecting frame 711, grippers 712 and a driving component. Multiple grippers 712 are slidably arranged on both sides of the connecting frame 711. The driving component is arranged on the connecting frame 711 and is used to drive the multiple grippers 712 on both sides to move closer or further away from each other at the same time.

[0102] In this embodiment, the connecting frame 711 includes multiple horizontally and vertically intersecting connecting rods. Parallel second slide rails 714 are provided on both sides of the connecting frame 711. The connecting frame 711 also includes two sliding rods 713, which are slidably connected to the two second slide rails 714 in directions of mutual approach or distance. Each sliding rod 713 is provided with four grippers 712, which are generally L-shaped. The grippers 712 on the two sliding rods 713 are arranged opposite to each other. The driving component includes a drive motor and a bidirectional screw. The bidirectional screw is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame 711, with threaded portions at both ends of the bidirectional screw passing through and threadedly connected to the two sliding rods 713. The drive motor is mounted on the connecting frame 711 and is used to drive the bidirectional screw to rotate.

[0103] In this application, a drive motor drives a bidirectional screw to rotate. Since the threads at both ends of the bidirectional screw rotate in opposite directions, and the two sliding rods 713 are threadedly connected to the two threaded parts respectively, the two sliding rods 713 move closer or further away from each other at the same time. This causes the two sliding rods 713 to drive multiple grippers 712 on both sides to move closer or further away from each other, thereby fixing or disengaging the multiple grippers 712 from the pallet, thus achieving pallet gripping. By adjusting the spacing of the multiple grippers 712 on both sides, it is easy for the multiple grippers 712 to grip pallets of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the fixture 710.

[0104] In other embodiments, the drive unit can be replaced by an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, which drives multiple grippers 712 to move, thereby achieving the same spacing between multiple grippers 712 on both sides.

[0105] Combination Figures 7 to 9 The pallet cleaning device also includes a base 730 and an adjustment mechanism. The loading and unloading mechanism 700 is slidably mounted on the base 730, and the adjustment mechanism is mounted on the base 730. The adjustment mechanism is used to drive the loading and unloading mechanism 700 to move on the base 730.

[0106] In this embodiment, a third slide rail 731 is provided on the base 730. The third slide rail 731 is parallel to the support rod 512. The robot arm 720 is slidably mounted on the base 730 via the third slide rail 731. The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment cylinder, which drives the robot arm 720 to move on the base 730, thereby adjusting the position of the robot arm 720 on the base 730 and increasing the gripping range of the robot arm 720. This allows the robot arm 720 to further pick up and place the pallet at different positions. In other embodiments, the adjustment mechanism can be replaced by an adjustment cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a screw and a motor.

[0107] Combination Figures 7 to 9 The pallet cleaning device also includes a pallet trolley 800, which is used for bulk storage of pallets.

[0108] In this embodiment, the palletizing cart 800 is a prior art technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail. The structure of the palletizing cart 800 can be adapted as needed.

[0109] The pallet cleaning device provided in this application, when a pallet needs cleaning, drives the gripper 710 to move via the robotic arm 720, causing the connecting frame 711 to move to the position of the pallet. The driving component drives multiple grippers 712 on both sides to move closer together, allowing the grippers 712 to grasp the pallet. The robotic arm 720 then drives the connecting frame 711 towards the mounting frame 200, placing the pallet between multiple clamping cylinders. The electric cylinder drives the rod 210 to move, causing the rod 210 to move multiple clamping cylinders on one side of the mounting frame 200 closer to or further away from multiple clamping cylinders on the other side, thereby adjusting the distance between the multiple clamping cylinders on both sides. The multiple clamping cylinders clamp the pallet. At this time, the rotating component 330 drives the drive gear 320 to rotate, causing the rotating gear 310 to rotate the mounting frame 200. The mounting frame 200 can then move the pallet to face the air knife 520. The moving component then drives... The air knife 520 moves on the support frame 510, enabling it to reciprocate and clean the pallet. After the first cleaning, the cleaning status of the pallet is detected by the detection component. If the pallet is not thoroughly cleaned, the air knife 520 is driven by the moving component to clean the pallet again. After cleaning, the rotating component 330 drives the drive gear 320 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting frame 200 to rotate. The mounting frame 200 can rotate the pallet to a horizontal position. The robot arm 720 drives the clamp 710 to move, causing the connecting frame 711 to move to the position of the pallet on the mounting frame 200. The pallet is then picked up by multiple grippers 712. The robot arm 720 can then drive the pallet to the position of the palletizing cart 800, where the cleaned pallet is placed. This achieves batch automatic cleaning of pallets, saving manpower and improving the cleaning efficiency of pallets.
