[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have advantages in practical applications, such as high operating voltage, long cycle life, high initial charge and discharge specific heat capacity, no heavy metals or toxic substances, and no pollution to the environment, making them the preferred green energy source in the 21st century.
[0003] While this type of battery is the preferred choice in terms of usage, it still has some problems. For example, due to the structural characteristics of the bottom of the steel casing, traditional cleaning methods cannot reach some dead corners, resulting in dirt and residue that cannot be effectively removed. This leads to a dirty bottom of the steel casing, affecting the overall appearance of the battery. In severe cases, it can cause the bottom of the steel casing to rust, creating a safety hazard. Poor contact and rusting caused by incomplete cleaning of the steel casing, as well as residual dirt and oxide layers, may lead to poor contact between the electrodes and the steel casing, affecting the battery's conductivity.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a comprehensive cleaning device for battery casings, comprising a housing 1, a drain valve 19 fixedly connected to the rear end of the housing 1 for draining the waste liquid after rinsing in the housing 1, a motor 2 fixedly connected to the left end of the housing 1, the drive end of the motor 2 penetrating the housing 1 and fixedly connected to a common brush 3, a belt provided on the outer wall of the common brush 3, the common brush 3 being connected to a rotating column 7 via the belt, the outer wall of the rotating column 7 rotating at the bottom end of the inner wall of the housing 1, the left end of the rotating column 7 penetrating the housing 1, a first gear 5 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 7, a second gear 6 meshing with the outer wall of the first gear 5, another rotating column 7 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second gear 6, the two rotating columns 7 for rotating a cylindrical lithium battery 14, the bottom end of the common brush 3 corresponding to the cylindrical lithium battery 14, and oblique brushes 4 corresponding to the left and right sides of the cylindrical lithium battery 14, the outer wall of the oblique brushes 4 fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 18, connecting... The outer wall of the tube 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box 1. The box 1 is equipped with a connecting assembly. The oblique brush 4 restricts the cylindrical lithium battery 14 through the connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes a round tube 17 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the round tube 17, a compression spring 16 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the compression spring 17, and sliders 15 fixedly connected to both sides of the compression spring 16. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the rear bottom of the box 1. A storage tank 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate. The storage tank 13 is used to store cleaning fluid. A water pump 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 13. A connecting pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the water pump 11. A distributor 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting pipe 10. A booster water pipe 8 is fixedly connected to both sides of the distributor 9. The front end of the booster water pipe 8 passes through the box 1 and corresponds to the oblique brush 4. A feed inlet is fixedly connected to the rear top of the storage tank 13. A cap 12 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the feed inlet. The cap 12 is used to prevent the external environment from affecting the cleaning fluid in the storage tank 13.
[0024] Specifically, the operator accurately places the cylindrical lithium battery 14 to be cleaned into the notch formed at the top of the two rotating columns 7, ensuring the battery is stably centered in the cleaning device. Then, the operator pulls the connecting pipes 18 located on both sides of the device. At this time, the connecting pipes 18 drive the connected oblique brushes 4 to move synchronously to both sides. During this movement, the oblique brushes 4 apply tension to the compression spring 16 via the slider 15, causing it to stretch and store energy. When the oblique brushes 4 on both sides have moved beyond the selected length of the cylindrical lithium battery 14, the operator can release the connecting pipes 18. At this time, due to the rebound of the compression spring 16, the opposite ends of the two oblique brushes 4 will fit tightly against the casing of the cylindrical lithium battery 14, preparing for the next cleaning step. Subsequently, the operator starts the water pump 11, causing it to begin working and pumping the cleaning solution from the storage tank 13. The cleaning fluid is drawn through the connecting pipe 10 and transported to the distributor 9. The distributor 9 distributes the cleaning fluid evenly to the pressurized water pipes 8 on both sides. The pressurized water pipes 8 pressurize the cleaning fluid to ensure that the cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the angled brush 4 and the cylindrical lithium battery 14 with sufficient pressure. Under the action of the pressurized cleaning fluid, the angled brush 4 thoroughly brushes the battery casing as the cylindrical lithium battery 14 rotates. During this process, the compression spring 16 and the slider 15 in the round pipe 17 provide elastic support for the angled brush 4, ensuring that the brush can fit tightly and evenly against the battery casing, thereby improving the cleaning effect. After the cleaning process is completed, the operator shuts off the water pump 11 and opens the drain valve 19 to discharge the waste liquid from the tank 1. At this time, the cover 12 can be opened to add new cleaning fluid to the storage tank 13 through the feed port, preparing for the next cleaning operation. The entire cleaning process is not only highly automated but also easy to operate, which greatly improves the efficiency and safety of battery cleaning while ensuring the quality of battery cleaning.
[0025] Working principle: When using this device, first place the cylindrical lithium battery 14 to be cleaned on the notch formed on top of the two rotating columns 7, and pull the connecting pipes 18 on both sides. This causes the connecting pipes 18 to move the angled brushes 4 to both sides, while simultaneously pulling the spring 16 via the slider 15. Then, after the two angled brushes 4 exceed the length of the selected cylindrical lithium battery 14, release the slider. This allows the spring 16 to rebound, bringing the opposite ends of the two angled brushes 4 into contact with the cylindrical lithium battery 14. Then, start the water pump 11. The water pump 11 pumps the cleaning solution from the storage tank 13 through the connecting pipe 10 to the distributor 9. The distributor 9 evenly distributes the cleaning solution to the pressurized water pipes 8 on both sides. The pressurized water pipe 8 pressurizes the cleaning fluid and sprays it onto the angled brush 4. Under the action of the cleaning fluid and the rotation of the cylindrical lithium battery 14 itself, the angled brush 4 thoroughly cleans the casing of the cylindrical lithium battery 14. During the cleaning process, the compression spring 16 and the slider 15 inside the round tube 17 provide elastic support for the angled brush 4, so that the angled brush 4 can closely fit the casing of the cylindrical lithium battery 14, improving the cleaning effect. After cleaning, the water pump 11 is turned off and the drain valve 19 is opened to drain the waste liquid from the tank 1. Then the cover 12 is opened, and new cleaning fluid can be added to the storage tank 13 through the feed port for easy use next time.
[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
