[0002] Lithium batteries are a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the positive / negative electrode material and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. Due to the highly reactive chemical properties of lithium metal, the processing, storage, and use of lithium metal require very high environmental standards. During the manufacturing process, the steel casing of lithium batteries needs to be cleaned of oil and other stains on its surface to facilitate subsequent installation and use.

[0003] A search revealed that patent application number 202020432614.8 discloses a battery steel shell surface treatment cleaning device, including a workbench, a cleaning tank on the upper side of the workbench, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inside of the cleaning tank via bearings, a cleaning disc on the outside of the rotating shaft, a cleaning motor fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning tank by bolts, and the output shaft of the cleaning motor fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft, a rinsing pump on one side of the lower end of the cleaning tank, a rinsing nozzle on the upper end of the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and an inner guide tube inside the cleaning tank, with both ends of the inner guide tube connected to the rinsing pump and the rinsing nozzle respectively;

[0004] Although the battery steel shell surface treatment and cleaning device lays the battery steel shell flat in the cleaning tray, drives the cleaning tray to rotate through the cleaning motor, cleans it with cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank, and sprays the cleaning liquid onto the cleaning tray through the rinsing nozzle, the device cannot clean subsequent battery steel shells at the same time when the cleaned battery steel shell is removed from the cleaning tray, resulting in low cleaning efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a battery steel casing processing and cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a battery steel shell processing and cleaning device, which solves the problem that existing devices cannot simultaneously clean subsequent battery steel shells when the cleaned battery steel shell is removed from the cleaning tray, resulting in low cleaning efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a battery steel shell processing and cleaning device, comprising an ultrasonic cleaning box and a cleaning tray for holding battery steel shells, wherein the ultrasonic cleaning box is provided with rotating components arranged in a circular array, and the rotating components are provided with placement components for limiting and fixing the cleaning tray.

[0008] The rotating assembly includes a first motor fixedly installed on the side wall of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to a rotating rod through the side wall of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber. The end of the rotating rod away from the first motor is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber through a bearing ring. The outer surface of the rotating rod is provided with two annular plates symmetrically distributed front and back.

[0009] The placement assembly includes placement frames arranged in a circular array along the side of the annular plate. The front and rear sidewalls of the placement frames are rotatably mounted on the sidewalls of the adjacent annular plate via bearing rings. A second motor is fixedly mounted on the sidewall of the front annular plate. The output end of the second motor passes through the sidewall of the annular plate and is fixedly mounted in the middle of the front sidewall of the placement frame. The cleaning tray is disposed inside the placement frame.

[0010] Preferably, a rotating column is fixedly fitted onto the middle of the outer surface of the rotating rod, and a series of support rods arranged in a ring array are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular plate. The end of the support rod away from the annular plate is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the rotating column. The support rods can support the annular plate, allowing the annular plate to rotate together with the rotating rod and the rotating column.

[0011] Preferably, a hydraulic rod is fixedly installed on the side wall of the placement frame, and a clamping plate is fixedly installed through the output end of the hydraulic rod through the side wall of the placement frame. The clamping plate is pushed by the hydraulic rod to contact the side wall of the cleaning tray, and in conjunction with the inner wall of the placement frame, the cleaning tray can be limited and fixed inside the placement frame.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom surface of the placement frame has evenly distributed through holes, so that the cleaning fluid inside the ultrasonic cleaning box can enter the interior of the cleaning tray and contact the battery steel shell.

[0013] Preferably, the cleaning tray includes a mesh cover and a placement mesh frame. The placement mesh frame is mounted on one side of the mesh cover via hinges and fasteners. The battery steel casing is placed inside the mesh cover, and the placement mesh frame is secured to the mesh cover using the fasteners. Then, the cleaning tray containing the battery steel casing is placed inside the placement frame, and a rotating assembly moves the cleaning tray into the ultrasonic cleaning chamber, allowing for the cleaning of the battery steel casing inside the cleaning tray. The structure of the mesh cover and the placement mesh frame is detailed in the referenced documents and will not be repeated here.

[0014] This utility model provides a battery steel casing processing and cleaning device. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This battery steel casing processing and cleaning device places a cleaning tray containing the battery steel casing in a placement assembly. A rotating assembly drives both the cleaning tray and the placement assembly to rotate, causing them to circulate within an ultrasonic cleaning chamber. When a subsequent cleaning tray is being cleaned inside the chamber, the cleaned tray can be removed from the placement assembly and replaced with a new one. This process is repeated continuously, allowing for uninterrupted cleaning of the battery steel casings inside the tray. This eliminates the waiting time required to remove the casings from the cleaning tray, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. It solves the problem of existing devices where cleaning efficiency is low because subsequent battery steel casings cannot be cleaned simultaneously when a cleaned casing is removed from the cleaning tray.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] like Figure 1-4The invention comprises an ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 and a cleaning tray 4 for holding a battery steel shell. The ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 is characterized by a rotating assembly 2 arranged in a circular array, and a placement assembly 3 for limiting and fixing the cleaning tray 4. The rotating assembly 2 includes a first motor 21 fixedly mounted on the side wall of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1. The output end of the first motor 21 passes through the side wall of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 and is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 22. The end of the rotating rod 22 away from the first motor 21 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 via a bearing ring. Two annular plates 24 symmetrically distributed front and rear are provided on the outer surface of the rotating rod 22. The placement assembly 3 includes a placement frame 31 arranged in a circular array along the side of the annular plates 24. The front and rear side walls of the placement frame 31 are rotatably mounted on the side walls of the adjacent annular plates 24 via bearing rings. A second motor 32 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the front annular plate 24. The output end of the second motor 32 passes through the side wall of the annular plate 24 and is fixedly mounted in the middle of the front side wall of the placement frame 31. The cleaning tray 4 is placed inside the placement frame 31. The rotating rod 22 has a rotating column 23 fixedly fitted onto the middle of its outer surface. Support rods 25 arranged in a circular array are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the annular plate 24. The end of each support rod 25 away from the annular plate 24 is fixedly installed on the arc surface of the rotating column 23. A hydraulic rod 33 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the placement frame 31. A clamping plate 34 is fixedly installed through the output end of the hydraulic rod 33, penetrating the side wall of the placement frame 31. The bottom surface of the placement frame 31 has evenly distributed through holes 35. The cleaning tray 4 containing the battery steel casing is placed in the placement assembly 3, and then rotated... The rotating component 2 drives the cleaning tray 4 and the placement component 3 to rotate, which in turn causes the placement component 3 and the cleaning tray 4 to circulate inside the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1. When the subsequent cleaning tray 4 is being cleaned inside the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1, the cleaned cleaning tray 4 can be removed from the placement component 3 and replaced with a new cleaning tray 4. This process is repeated to continuously clean the battery steel shell inside the cleaning tray 4, avoiding the time required to remove the battery steel shell from the cleaning tray 4 and improving the cleaning efficiency of the battery steel shell.

[0024] Example 2:

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown: The cleaning tray 4 includes a mesh cover 41 and a placement mesh frame 42. The placement mesh frame 42 is installed on one side of the mesh cover 41 via hinges and fasteners. The battery steel shell is placed inside the mesh cover 41, and the placement mesh frame 42 is fixed to the mesh cover 41 using the fasteners. Then, the cleaning tray 4 containing the battery steel shell is placed inside the placement frame 31, and the cleaning tray 4 is moved into the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 by the rotating component 2, so that the battery steel shell inside the cleaning tray 4 can be cleaned. The structure of the mesh cover 41 and the placement mesh frame 42 has been described in detail in the referenced documents and will not be repeated here.

[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: When using this battery steel shell processing and cleaning device, the operator places the battery steel shell inside the cleaning tray 4, then places the cleaning tray 4 inside the placement frame 31. Next, the hydraulic rod 33 is activated to push the clamping plate 34 into contact with the side wall of the cleaning tray 4, thus fixing the cleaning tray 4 inside the placement frame 31. Then, the first motor 21 is activated to drive the rotating rod 22 and rotating column 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the annular plate 24 and the placement assembly 3 on its side wall to rotate, causing the cleaning tray 4 to rotate into the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1. The cleaning fluid inside the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 then cleans the battery steel shell inside the cleaning tray 4. During the cleaning process, the second motor 32 is started to drive the placement frame 31 and the cleaning tray 4 inside it to rotate, so as to thoroughly clean the battery steel shell. During this process, the staff continuously put the cleaning tray 4 containing the battery steel shell into the other placement components 3. After the battery steel shell inside the cleaning tray 4 is cleaned, the subsequent cleaning tray 4 is rotated into the ultrasonic cleaning box 1 by the rotating component 2. Then the cleaned cleaning tray 4 is removed from the ultrasonic cleaning box 1. The staff removes the cleaned cleaning tray 4 and installs the new cleaning tray 4 on the placement component 3. This process is repeated to continuously clean the battery steel shell.
