[0041] Example

[0042] This application provides a battery cylindrical plasma cleaning device, combined with... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes: a cleaning mechanism 1, a clamping and rotating mechanism 2, and a support component 3;

[0043] The cleaning mechanism 1 is arranged facing the support member 3. The cleaning mechanism 1 is provided with multiple cleaning nozzles 11. The support member 3 is provided with multiple workstations 31 for placing the batteries 5 to be cleaned. Each cleaning nozzle 11 is provided corresponding to at least one workstation 31; wherein, multiple includes two, three or more.

[0044] Understandably, with the configuration of multiple cleaning nozzles 11 and multiple workstations 31, the battery 5 cylindrical plasma cleaning device can clean multiple batteries 5 to be cleaned at the same time, which can significantly shorten the time required to clean all batteries 5, thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency.

[0045] The corresponding setup of a cleaning nozzle 11 and at least one station 31 helps to ensure the uniformity of the batteries 5 to be cleaned on each station 31 during the plasma cleaning process, so that the cylindrical surface of each battery 5 can be thoroughly and uniformly cleaned; and through the above setup, the battery cleaning conditions on each station 31 are relatively consistent, such as gas flow rate and pressure, which in turn can ensure the consistency of battery cleaning to a certain extent.

[0046] The clamping and rotating mechanism 2 includes: a first clamping member 21, a second clamping member 22 and a rotating member 23. The supporting member 3 is located between the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22. The first clamping member 21 is used to clamp one end of the battery 5 and the second clamping member 22 is used to clamp the other end of the battery 5.

[0047] The rotating member 23 is used to drive one or more first clamping members 21 and / or second clamping members 22 to make each battery 5 rotate in the axial direction as the rotation axis direction, switching the cylindrical part of the battery 5 opposite to the cleaning nozzle 11.

[0048] The clamping and rotating mechanism 2 is used to clamp and rotate the battery 5, so that the entire cylindrical part of the battery 5 can be evenly contacted with the cleaning nozzle 11, avoiding the situation where only the part of the battery 5 cylindrical part opposite to the cleaning nozzle 11 is cleaned. By controlling the battery through the clamping and rotating mechanism 2, the cleaning time of each position on the cylindrical part of the battery 5 is consistent, thereby achieving the consistency of the cleaning effect of each position on the cylindrical part of each battery 5, thus improving the plasma cleaning quality of the battery 5; it also shortens the cleaning time of a single battery 5, which can effectively improve the battery cleaning efficiency compared with the static cleaning method.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a dust collection component 4 is also provided, which is located on the side of the support component 3 away from the cleaning mechanism 1.

[0050] The dust collection component 4 is equipped with several dust collection bins 41, and the arrangement direction of the dust collection bins 41 corresponds to the arrangement direction of the workstation 31.

[0051] Understandably, the arrangement direction of the dust collection bin 41 corresponds to the arrangement direction of the workstation 31, which helps to collect the debris or dust that falls off each workstation 31 during the cleaning process in a timely manner, thereby improving cleaning efficiency; it also helps to make effective use of the internal space of the device, making the arrangement of the dust collection components 4 more compact and orderly, and improving the space utilization rate of the device.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the inner diameter of the dust collection bin 41 gradually decreases in the direction away from the support member 3 to form a bucket shape.

[0053] The bucket-shaped design of the dust collection bin 41 helps to accelerate the settling of debris. When the airflow enters the dust collection bin 41, dust and debris particles settle more easily to the bottom due to gravity, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency. When the airflow speed is high, the bucket-shaped dust collection bin 41 can guide the airflow to flow along a certain path, effectively slowing down the airflow and thus promoting the settling of debris. It can also prevent debris from splashing to a certain extent.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, each cleaning nozzle 11 is also equipped with a dust cover 12.

[0055] The dust cover 12 can effectively prevent dust and debris from directly entering the cleaning nozzle 11, and to a certain extent prevent the cleaning nozzle 11 from being blocked by dust and debris, so that the plasma cleaning effect is not affected; in addition, the dust cover 12 isolates dust and debris, and also protects the cleaning nozzle 11, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning nozzle 11.

[0056] Furthermore, the clamping and rotating mechanism 2 is also provided with a synchronization mechanism (not shown in the figure), and the first clamping member 21 and the second clamping member 22 are provided with multiple sets of opposing clamping parts 210; the rotating member 23 connects multiple clamping parts 210 through the synchronization mechanism so that the multiple clamping parts 210 rotate synchronously.

[0057] The synchronous mechanism enables the synchronous rotation of multiple clamping parts 210 located on the same clamping member, so that the multiple clamping parts 210 rotate at the same speed and angle, thereby improving the rotation accuracy and consistency among the multiple clamping parts 210; thus achieving the consistency of the rotation speed and rotation frequency of the battery 5 at different workstations 31, which in turn helps to improve the consistency of the plasma cleaning effect of the battery 5.

[0058] For example, the synchronization mechanism can be a structure of chain and gear, a structure of gear and transmission belt, or a linkage structure;

[0059] Of course, there are no restrictions on the specific synchronization mechanism.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping part 210 is provided with a clamping surface 211 for clamping the battery 5, and a mesh-like anti-slip texture 212 is provided on the clamping surface 211.

[0061] The mesh anti-slip texture 212 design can increase the friction of the clamping surface 211, which can prevent the battery 5 from sliding or falling off during the clamping process to a certain extent, thereby enhancing the stability of the clamping state and helping to maintain the stability of the battery 5 during the plasma cleaning process, achieving a good plasma cleaning effect; and by dispersing the contact pressure on the clamping surface 211 through the mesh anti-slip texture 212, it can also help reduce local wear when the clamping surface 211 is in direct contact with the surface of the battery 5.

[0062] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, all cleaning nozzles 11 are connected by connectors 13. Multiple reinforcing structures 130 are spaced apart on the connectors 13, and the shape of the reinforcing structures 130 includes triangles.

[0063] The triangular reinforcing structure 130 has strong stability and can effectively disperse and bear stress from all directions, improving the tensile strength and compressive strength of the connector 13, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the entire connector 13. Multiple reinforcing structures 130 are spaced apart on the connector 13, which can effectively improve seismic resistance and impact resistance, and prevent the connector 13 from deforming or breaking under strong impact.

[0064] Furthermore, the axis of the clamping portion 210 located on the first clamping member 21 and the axis of the clamping portion 210 located on the second clamping member 22 are respectively perpendicular to the axis of the cleaning nozzle 11.

[0065] By setting the axis of the clamping part 210 on the first clamping member 21 and the axis of the clamping part 210 on the second clamping member 22 to be perpendicular to the axis of the cleaning nozzle 11, the cleaning angle of the cleaning nozzle 11 on the battery 5 located on the work station 31 is improved, thereby optimizing the action method of the gas in the cleaning nozzle 11, avoiding airflow loss, helping to improve energy utilization, increasing the cleaning intensity of the battery 5, and improving the plasma cleaning effect.

[0066] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the side of the cleaning nozzle 11 facing the clamping and rotating mechanism 2 is the cleaning surface 110, and multiple nozzles 111 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the cleaning surface 110 to form a ring-shaped nozzle array.

[0067] The arrangement of nozzles 111 forms a ring-shaped nozzle array. The cleaning nozzle 11 can spray gas evenly from different angles, so that the cylindrical surface of the battery 5 can be thoroughly cleaned and has a wider coverage range. This can reduce the cleaning time and improve cleaning efficiency to a certain extent. The ring-shaped nozzle array design can be used in conjunction with the clamping and rotating mechanism 2. The clamping and rotating mechanism 2 will rotate the cylindrical surface of the battery 5 and change its angle. The ring-shaped nozzle array helps to ensure that the gas sprayed by the nozzles 111 can always evenly cover the cylindrical surface of the battery 5 during the cleaning process.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a frame 6, a drive component 61, a slider 62, and a slide rail 63 that matches the shape of the slider 62;

[0069] One of the cleaning mechanism 1 and the frame 6 is provided with a sliding member 62, and the other is provided with a slide rail 63. The sliding member 62 is movably mounted on the slide rail 63 to realize the movable connection between the cleaning mechanism 1 and the frame 6.

[0070] The frame 6 or the cleaning mechanism 1 is also equipped with a distance sensing device 64 that is communicatively connected to the drive component 61. The output end of the drive component 61 is connected to the cleaning mechanism 1 to drive the cleaning mechanism 1 to adjust its relative position with the support component 3.

[0071] With the cooperation of the slider 62 and the slide rail 63, the cleaning mechanism 1 can slide flexibly on the frame 6, and the relative position of the cleaning mechanism 1 and the support 3 can be adjusted. This adjustability allows the cleaning mechanism 1 to adapt to the cleaning needs of batteries 5 of different shapes and sizes, thus improving the versatility and adaptability of the device.

[0072] The drive unit 61 can cooperate with the distance sensing device 64 to enable the cleaning mechanism 1 to precisely adjust its relative position with the support member 3, so that the cleaning nozzle 11 can be aligned with the column of the battery 5, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and cleaning quality; wherein, the distance sensing device 64 can be a distance sensor.

[0073] The embodiments of this application have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0074] This application provides a plasma cleaning device for the cylindrical surface of a battery 5, which can effectively improve cleaning efficiency, reduce the structural complexity of the device, lower maintenance costs, optimize the consistency of cleaning results, and improve cleaning quality. Specifically, multiple cleaning nozzles 11 are provided to achieve batch cleaning of the cylindrical surface of the battery 5, shortening the cleaning time of the battery 5 and effectively improving cleaning efficiency. A clamping and rotating mechanism 2 is provided, which can maintain the positional stability of the battery 5 while cleaning by rotating the cylindrical surface of the battery 5, achieving a more consistent cleaning effect and improving cleaning quality. Therefore, the overall structure of the device is simplified and maintenance costs are reduced.
