[0029] The battery cell cleaning device of this utility model will now be described in more detail with reference to the schematic diagrams, which illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the utility model described herein while still achieving its advantageous effects. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit the utility model.
[0030] The present invention will be described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a battery cell cleaning device, including a first conveyor roller line 1, a second conveyor roller line 2, an ultrasonic cleaning tank 3, an electric gripper 4, and a storage basket 5.
[0032] Specifically, the first conveyor roller line 1 and the second conveyor roller line 2 are used to automatically transport the storage basket 5; the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3 is located between the first conveyor roller line 1 and the second conveyor roller line 2; the electric gripper 4 is used to clamp the storage basket 5, and the electric gripper 4 is connected to a horizontal lifting assembly 6, which is used to control the lifting and horizontal movement of the electric gripper 4 to send the storage basket 5 on the first conveyor roller line 1 from the top of the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3 into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3 and to send the storage basket 5 in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3 to the second conveyor roller line 2; the storage basket 5 is used to vertically space multiple battery cells.
[0033] In this embodiment, during the cleaning of the battery cells, the worker loads the basket 5 containing the battery cells from the right side of the first conveyor roller line 1, which then transports the basket 5. Once the basket reaches the designated position on the right side of the first conveyor roller line 1, the lateral lifting assembly 6 lowers the electric gripper 4. After the electric gripper 4 clamps the basket 5, the lateral lifting assembly 6 raises the electric gripper 4 and moves it laterally to the left side of the first conveyor roller line 1, bringing the basket 5 directly above the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3. Then, the lateral lifting assembly 6 lowers the electric gripper 4, sending the basket 5 into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3 for cleaning the battery cells.
[0034] After the battery cells are cleaned, the horizontal lifting assembly 6 drives the electric gripper 4 to lower the storage basket 5 to a designated position on the right side of the second conveyor roller line 2. The second conveyor roller line 2 then starts, transporting the storage basket 5 to the left side of the second conveyor roller line 2, thus achieving automatic unloading of the cleaned battery cells.
[0035] In summary, the battery cell cleaning device provided in this embodiment, through the arrangement of the first conveyor roller line 1, the second conveyor roller line 2, and the electric gripper 4 connected to the transverse lifting component 6, can realize automatic loading and unloading of multiple battery cells loaded in the storage basket 5 during the cleaning process, effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of the battery cells. Furthermore, the cleaning of the battery cells adopts the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3, which can effectively remove stubborn impurities on the battery cells and improve the cleaning effect of the battery cells.
[0036] In the above embodiment, the horizontal moving and lifting assembly 6 includes a horizontal moving track 62 horizontally mounted above the ultrasonic cleaning tank 3 via a bracket 61, a drive block 63 slidably mounted on the horizontal moving track 62, and a lifting cylinder 64 vertically mounted on the drive block 63; a horizontal moving drive mechanism for driving the drive block 63 is mounted on the horizontal moving track 62; the lifting cylinder 64 is connected to the electric gripper 4. By activating the horizontal moving drive mechanism, the drive block 63 is moved, realizing the horizontal movement of the electric gripper 4; by activating the lifting cylinder 64, the output end of the lifting cylinder 64 retracts, realizing the lifting and lowering of the electric gripper 4.
[0037] Specifically, the lateral movement drive mechanism includes a drive screw 65 and a drive motor 66; the drive screw 65 is rotatably mounted in the lateral movement track 62, and the drive screw 65 is threadedly connected to the drive block 63; the drive motor 66 is fixed on the lateral movement track 62, and the output shaft of the drive motor 66 is drively connected to the drive screw 65. The lateral movement of the electric gripper 4 is achieved using screw drive, ensuring the lateral movement accuracy of the electric gripper 4.
[0038] Preferably, the drive motor 66 is a servo motor to achieve precise programmed control of the lateral movement of the electric gripper 4.
[0039] In the above embodiments, in conjunction with reference to Figure 2 The storage basket 5 includes a box body 51; multiple partitions 52 are evenly spaced inside the box body 51, and the main body of the box body 51 and the partitions 52 are designed with a mesh-like hollow structure. The partitions 52 divide the box body 51 into multiple areas, allowing for the separate placement of multiple battery cells.
[0040] Furthermore, the outer surface of the box body 51 is recessed around all four sides to form a clamping groove 53 that matches the electric gripper 4, ensuring that the electric gripper 4 stably clamps the storage basket 5.
[0041] In the above embodiment, limit baffles 7 are installed on both sides of the conveying surface of the first conveying roller line 1 and the second conveying roller line 2, and multiple rollers 8 are installed at intervals on the inner side of the limit baffles 7.
[0042] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
