Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery production equipment technology, specifically to an automatic cleaning device for residual materials in a sagger. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of lithium battery cathode materials, saggers are used to hold cathode material powder. In the sintering process of high-temperature solid-state synthesis, they serve as a sintering support, placing the cathode material into the sagger before placing it in the kiln for calcination. This prevents material loss and contamination during sintering due to air blowing, oxygen blowing, or movement, and also facilitates worker operation.
[0003] The cleaning of residual materials inside existing saggers still relies on manual labor under normal conditions. Workers need to hold tools and bend over or stand next to the sagger for a long time to clean, which is extremely strenuous. In addition, they must be careful to avoid damaging the inner wall of the sagger during the cleaning process, which further slows down the cleaning speed and requires a lot of manpower and time. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic cleaning device for residual materials in a sagger to solve the above problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution, including:
[0006] A sweeping motor is detachably mounted on top of the sump via a drive cylinder assembly, and a sweeping brush head is connected to the output end of the sweeping motor.
[0007] The drive cylinder assembly includes a longitudinal cylinder, a transverse cylinder, and a vertical cylinder. A planar slide rail is provided on one side of the longitudinal cylinder and the transverse cylinder. The drive cylinder assembly is used to drive the sweeping motor to lift and reciprocate.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution, the sweeping brush head is installed at the bottom of the sweeping motor, and the output end of the sweeping motor is rotatably connected to the sweeping brush head.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution, the cleaning brush head is hollow inside, and the cleaning brush head is connected to a negative pressure suction device.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution, the longitudinal cylinder output end and the transverse cylinder output end are detachably connected to the middle part of the sweeping motor.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution, the output end of the transverse cylinder is perpendicular to the output end of the transverse cylinder.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the output end of the vertical cylinder is detachably connected to the top of the sweeping motor.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution, a sealing cover is provided on the outside of the sweeping motor and the sump.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution, the top of the vertical cylinder is detachably connected to the sealing cover.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution, a photoelectric sensor is detachably installed on the inner side of the sagger.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution, a flip-up baffle is detachably installed on the outside of the sagger.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This invention uses a drive cylinder assembly fixed inside a sealed cover to drive the cleaning brush head at the bottom of the cleaning motor to move back and forth, thereby cleaning the residual material in the crucible. The residual material swept out during the cleaning process is then sucked up by the negative pressure in the hollow cavity of the brush head and transferred to the dust collection device. This can prevent dust from spreading during the cleaning process, effectively reduce the labor intensity of workers, and improve work efficiency.
[0019] To more clearly illustrate the structural features and functions of this utility model, the following detailed description of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, an automatic cleaning device for residual material in a sagger includes: a cleaning motor 1 detachably mounted on top of the sagger via a drive cylinder assembly, and a cleaning brush head 6 connected to the output end of the cleaning motor 1, so that the drive cylinder assembly can drive the cleaning motor 1 to perform lifting and reciprocating motion, thereby driving the cleaning brush head 6 to continuously clean the residual material in the sagger.
[0025] Furthermore, the sweeping brush head 6 is installed at the bottom of the sweeping motor 1, and the output end of the sweeping motor 1 is rotatably connected to the sweeping brush head 6. Specifically, a sealing cover 7 is provided on the outside of the sweeping motor 1 and the jug, and the sweeping motor 1 is detachably installed on the top of the sealing cover 7 through a drive cylinder assembly. The sweeping brush head 6 is hollow inside, and the sweeping brush head 6 is also connected to a negative pressure suction device.
[0026] Understandably, residual materials stirred up during the cleaning process can be sucked into the dust collection device (such as a cyclone separator collection tank, bag filter, or detachable dust box) through the hollow cavity inside the brush head via a negative pressure suction device (such as a high-power axial flow fan, centrifugal fan, or vacuum generator), so that the debris and dust stirred up by the cleaning brush head 6 during cleaning will not escape to the outside.
[0027] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In this embodiment, the drive cylinder group consists of a three-degree-of-freedom coordinated drive mechanism composed of a transverse cylinder 3, a longitudinal cylinder 2, and a vertical cylinder 4, which realizes precise motion control and drive of the sweeping motor 1 in the X, Y, and Z axes. It can be programmed by a PLC or servo control system to achieve automatic path planning (such as lifting adjustment, reciprocating sweeping, spiral sweeping, or fixed-point cleaning).
[0028] Furthermore, the output ends of the longitudinal cylinder 2 and the transverse cylinder 3 are detachably connected to the middle of the sweeping motor 1, driving the drive motor to move horizontally along the X and Y axes; while the output end of the vertical cylinder 4 is detachably connected to the top of the sweeping motor 1, and the top of the vertical cylinder 4 is detachably connected to the sealing cover 7, driving the drive motor to move vertically along the Z axis.
[0029] Specifically, the output end of the transverse cylinder 3 is perpendicular to the output end of the transverse cylinder 3, and a flat slide rail 5 (such as a linear guide rail or a ball slide rail) is provided on one side of the longitudinal cylinder 2 and the transverse cylinder 3 to ensure that the motor moves in the XY plane without swaying and with low friction.
[0030] It should be noted that a photoelectric sensor 8 is detachably installed on the inside of the sagger, which is used to detect whether the cleaning brush head 6 is cleaning the sagger, and sends a control signal when it detects that the cleaning brush head 6 has started or stopped cleaning; while a flip baffle 9 is detachably installed on the outside of the sagger. The outside of the flip baffle 9 is connected to a flip cylinder fixed on the sealing cover, which is used to receive control signals to rotate the flip baffle 9.
[0031] Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the residual material in the sagger, the vertical cylinder 4 drives the drive motor to descend along the Z-axis. After the photoelectric sensor 8 detects the cleaning brush head 6, it starts the drive motor to rotate the cleaning brush head 6. At the same time, the flip baffle 9 flips down, causing the automatic line below the sagger to stop running. Then, the longitudinal cylinder 2, the transverse cylinder 3, and the guide rail reciprocate along the plane X-axis and Y-axis. The residual material raised during the cleaning process is sucked into the dust collection device through the negative pressure suction device through the hollow cavity inside the brush head. After the residual material in the sagger is cleaned, the vertical cylinder 4 drives the drive motor to rise along the Z-axis. After the photoelectric sensor 8 no longer detects the cleaning brush head 6, it shuts off the drive motor. At the same time, the flip baffle 9 flips up, causing the automatic line below the sagger to resume running.
[0032] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
