Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery production technology, specifically to a battery casing cleaning system and a battery production system. Background Technology

[0002] In battery production, the battery casing is a component used to house and protect individual battery cells. Before installing the cells, the casing needs to be cleaned. Currently, cleaning the inside of the battery casing mainly relies on manual labor, which suffers from low efficiency and inconsistent cleaning quality, affecting subsequent assembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this application provides a battery box cleaning system that automatically picks up materials and cleans the battery box through a transfer device, which can save manpower and improve cleaning efficiency and the consistency of cleaning quality.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a battery casing cleaning system, comprising:

[0005] A feeding device for holding the battery box;

[0006] A cleaning device is located on one side of the feeding device, and the cleaning device includes a cleaning head;

[0007] The transfer device is used to transfer the battery box placed in the feeding device to the discharging position. The transfer device has a movable end, and a cleaning head is set on the movable end. The transfer device drives the cleaning head to clean the battery box at the discharging position according to a preset trajectory.

[0008] The transfer device drives the cleaning head to automatically complete the thorough cleaning of the battery box's interior along a preset trajectory, significantly improving efficiency and saving manpower compared to manual operation. Simultaneously, automated path planning reduces the need for multi-station switching, further shortening the production cycle. The cleaning head and transfer device work together, cleaning the battery box according to the preset path, ensuring consistent cleaning results each time.

[0009] In some embodiments, the cleaning apparatus further includes a dust removal device having a suction port that is connected to the cleaning head.

[0010] Therefore, dust generated during the battery box processing can be removed, reducing the risk of short circuits caused by impurities such as metal particles mixed in during subsequent assembly, and improving battery safety; at the same time, automatic dust collection replaces manual contact with dust, reducing occupational health risks caused by dust inhalation or metal particle residue.

[0011] In some embodiments, the feeding device includes a frame and a support member, the support member being disposed on the frame and used to place at least one battery box, and the transfer device being configured to switchably clamp battery boxes placed on different supports.

[0012] By installing support components on the frame, continuous material supply to the transfer device can be achieved by changing the feeding device, thereby reducing waiting time and improving production efficiency.

[0013] In some embodiments, there are multiple support members, which are spaced apart on the frame along the height direction of the feeding device.

[0014] The feeding device has at least two support members spaced apart along the height direction. The transfer device can switch between handling battery boxes on different support members. When the battery box on one support member is clamped, the battery box on another support member is clamped. The battery box is placed on the empty support member by manual or mechanical clamping to achieve continuous feeding and improve production efficiency.

[0015] In some embodiments, the support member is slidably connected to the frame along a first direction, and at least a portion of the support member is configured to be able to move into or out of the frame along the first direction, which intersects the height direction of the feeding device.

[0016] Therefore, the support can be pulled out through the frame, allowing it to suspend above the frame, making it convenient to add battery boxes to the empty support.

[0017] In some embodiments, the battery box cleaning system further includes a conveying device having a discharge position and a discharge position, the discharge position and the discharge position being spaced apart along a second direction, the conveying device being used to deliver the cleaned battery box from the discharge position to the discharge position, the second direction intersecting the height direction of the feeding device.

[0018] The feeding and discharging positions of the conveying device are spaced apart along the second direction, enabling continuous flow of the container from cleaning completion to the next process, reducing waiting time.

[0019] In some embodiments, the conveying device includes a conveying body and a positioning fixture. The positioning fixture is configured to guide and cooperate with the conveying body along a second direction, and the positioning fixture is switchable between a feeding position and a discharging position. The positioning fixture is configured to position the battery box at the feeding position along the second direction and a third direction. The second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, and the plane in which the second direction and the third direction are located intersects the height direction of the feeding device.

[0020] The positioning fixture performs dual positioning of the battery box along the second and third directions at the feeding position. Combined with the guiding structure, this ensures the box maintains a stable posture during cleaning, improving the consistency of cleaning results. The positioning fixture can switch between the feeding and discharging positions, enabling continuous flow of the box from cleaning completion to the next process, reducing waiting time.

[0021] In some embodiments, the conveying body has a limiting member, and when the positioning fixture is located at the unloading position, the positioning fixture abuts against the limiting member to restrict the movement of the positioning fixture along the second direction.

[0022] After the positioning fixture comes into contact with the limiting component at the material feeding position, it can restrict the movement of the positioning fixture at the material feeding position. Combined with the positioning fixture's own positioning, it ensures the position of the battery box at the material feeding position, thereby improving the consistency of the cleaning effect.

[0023] In some embodiments, the conveying device further includes a lifting mechanism for driving the positioning fixture to move along the height direction of the feeding device. The lifting mechanism has a first state of being separated from the positioning fixture and a second state of lifting the positioning fixture and separating it from the conveying device at the discharge position.

[0024] The lifting mechanism lifts the positioning fixture, which allows the battery box to be positioned at a predetermined position along the height of the feeding device. This ensures that the battery box can be placed on the positioning fixture for positioning each time, enabling the transfer device to clean the battery box according to a preset trajectory and improving the consistency of the cleaning effect.

[0025] In some embodiments, the battery compartment cleaning system further includes an alarm device, a controller, and a position sensor, wherein the position sensor is disposed on a positioning fixture, and the alarm device and the position sensor are respectively communicatively connected to the controller.

[0026] When the transfer device places the positioning fixture, if the positioning fixture fails to position itself and the position sensor detects that the battery box is not in the predetermined position, the position sensor sends a signal to the controller. The controller then sends an alarm message to the alarm device based on the received signal. The alarm device then issues an alarm prompt to facilitate human intervention and adjustment.

[0027] In some embodiments, the battery box cleaning system further includes a first barcode scanner, which is disposed on the conveying device and is used to scan the markings on the side of the battery box; and / or, the battery box cleaning system further includes a second barcode scanner, which is disposed on the conveying device and is used to scan the markings on the bottom of the battery box.

[0028] The conveying device is used to transport the battery boxes that have passed the barcode scanning and have been cleaned from the feeding position to the discharging position.

[0029] By using a first and a second barcode scanner to read the markings (such as barcodes or QR codes) on the battery box, key information such as the production batch and cleaning time of the box is recorded in real time. The entire process can be traced by scanning the markings during the production process, and the information is uploaded to the management system to reduce manual data entry errors.

[0030] In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes a conveying device having a feeding position and a discharging position, the feeding position and the discharging position being spaced apart along a second direction, a first scanning device being disposed on the conveying device, the conveying device being used to deliver the battery box that has been scanned and cleaned from the feeding position to the discharging position, the second direction intersecting with the height direction of the feeding device.

[0031] Therefore, the battery box can be scanned by the first barcode scanner during the material feeding position or the movement of the conveyor device, thus achieving traceability in the production process.

[0032] In some embodiments, the battery case cleaning system further includes a defective product placement table, and a transfer device is used to transfer battery cases with abnormal barcode scanning to the defective product placement table.

[0033] Based on abnormal signals from the first barcode scanner (such as blurred barcodes, incorrect data, or failure to meet cleaning standards), the transfer device automatically transfers problematic boxes to the non-conforming product placement table, reducing downtime and operational error risks, and improving production efficiency.

[0034] In some embodiments, the transfer device includes a driving component and a clamping component. The driving component has a movable end, and the clamping component is disposed at the movable end. The clamping component is used to clamp the battery box. The driving component drives the cleaning head to clean the battery box at the discharge position according to a preset trajectory through the clamping component.

[0035] The cleaning head, through precise control of the drive components, can repeatedly perform standardized cleaning actions, reducing cleaning blind spots caused by differences in human operation and improving cleaning consistency.

[0036] Secondly, this application provides a battery production system, including the battery casing cleaning system of the first aspect.

[0037] Since the battery production system includes all the technical features of the battery casing cleaning system, and its effect is the same as described above, it will not be repeated here.

[0038] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this application.

[0066] In battery production, the battery casing is a component used to house and protect individual battery cells. Before installing the cells, the casing needs to be cleaned. Currently, cleaning the inside of the battery casing mainly relies on manual labor, which suffers from low efficiency and inconsistent cleaning quality, affecting subsequent assembly.

[0067] In view of this, this application provides a battery box cleaning system. The transfer device drives the cleaning head to automatically complete the comprehensive cleaning of the inside of the box according to a preset trajectory, which significantly improves efficiency and saves manpower compared to manual operation. At the same time, the automated path planning reduces the need for multi-station switching, further shortening the production cycle. The cleaning head and the transfer device work together to clean the battery box according to the preset path, which can ensure that the cleaning effect is generally consistent each time.

[0068] For ease of explanation, please refer to the following embodiments. Figures 1-5 The following description will be based on a battery box cleaning system 100 according to some embodiments of this application.

[0069] The battery casing cleaning system 100 includes a feeding device 10, a cleaning device 20, and a transfer device 30. The feeding device 10 is used to place the battery casings. The cleaning device 20 is located on one side of the feeding device 10 and includes a cleaning head 21. The transfer device 30 is used to transfer the battery casings placed on the feeding device 10 to a discharge position. The transfer device 30 has a movable end, and the cleaning head 21 is disposed on the movable end. The transfer device 30 drives the cleaning head 21 to clean the battery casings at the discharge position according to a preset trajectory.

[0070] The cleaning device 20 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of plasma cleaning equipment, dust removal equipment 22, or ultrasonic cleaning equipment.

[0071] The feeding device 10 can be a frame structure 12 with a tray, or it can be a conveyor line for conveying battery boxes, etc.

[0072] The transfer device 30 can be a robotic arm, specifically a multi-arm robotic arm or an XYZ three-axis linear module, etc. Taking the robotic arm as an example, the cleaning head 21 is installed at the movable end of the robotic arm.

[0073] The transfer device 30 drives the cleaning head 21 to automatically complete the comprehensive cleaning of the inside of the battery box according to a preset trajectory, which significantly improves efficiency and saves manpower compared to manual operation. At the same time, the automated path planning reduces the need for multi-station switching and further shortens the production cycle. The cleaning head 21 and the transfer device 30 work together to clean the battery box according to the preset path, which can make the cleaning effect largely consistent each time.

[0074] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The cleaning device 20 also includes a dust removal device 22, which has a suction port that is connected to the cleaning head 21.

[0075] In one example, the dust removal device 22 may include a fan and a duct, with the fan connected to a dust suction port via the duct, and the dust suction port removes dust from the surface of the battery box by the fan.

[0076] Therefore, dust generated during the battery box processing can be removed, reducing the risk of short circuits caused by impurities such as metal particles mixed in during subsequent assembly, and improving battery safety; at the same time, automatic dust collection replaces manual contact with dust, reducing occupational health risks caused by dust inhalation or metal particle residue.

[0077] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The feeding device 10 includes a frame 12 and a support member 11. The support member 11 is disposed on the frame 12 and is used to place at least one battery box. The transfer device 30 is configured to switchably clamp the battery boxes placed on different support members 11.

[0078] The connection between the support member 11 and the frame 12 can be a fixed connection or a movable connection. For example, the support member 11 and the frame 12 can be connected by screws, welding or riveting.

[0079] As an example, the support 11 can be a tray or a support plate, which has multiple placement slots for placing the battery box so that the transfer device 30 can grasp the battery box at a predetermined position.

[0080] By setting the support 11 on the frame 12, the material can be continuously fed to the transfer device 30 by replacing the feeding device 10, thereby reducing waiting time and improving production efficiency.

[0081] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 There are multiple support members 11, which are spaced apart on the frame 12 along the height direction H of the feeding device 10.

[0082] At least two support members 11 of the feeding device 10 are spaced apart along the height direction H. The transfer device 30 can switch between handling battery boxes of different support members 11. When the battery box of one support member 11 is clamped, the battery box of another support member 11 is clamped. The battery box is placed into the empty support member 11 by manual or mechanical clamping to achieve continuous feeding and improve production efficiency.

[0083] As an example, the support member 11 can be driven by a drive mechanism to move relative to the frame 12 along the first direction X. The drive mechanism can be a linear drive mechanism such as a cylinder, an electric push rod, or a hydraulic push rod. The support member 11 and the frame 12 can be slidably connected by a guide mechanism, which can be a guide rail slider mechanism or a guide rod slider structure, etc.

[0084] Therefore, the support member 11 can be pulled out through the frame 12, so that the support member 11 is suspended in the frame 12, so as to facilitate the replenishment of the battery box to the empty support member 11.

[0085] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 The battery box cleaning system 100 also includes a conveying device 40, which has a feeding position and a discharging position. The feeding position and the discharging position are spaced apart along the second direction Y. The conveying device 40 is used to transport the cleaned battery box from the feeding position to the discharging position. The second direction Y intersects with the height direction H of the feeding device 10.

[0086] The conveying device 40 can be a linear conveying device such as a roller conveyor or a chain conveyor.

[0087] The feeding and discharging positions of the conveying device 40 are spaced apart along the second direction Y, enabling continuous flow of the box from cleaning completion to the next process, reducing waiting time.

[0088] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The conveying device 40 includes a conveying body 41 and a positioning fixture 42. The positioning fixture 42 is configured to guide and cooperate with the conveying body 41 along the second direction Y, and the positioning fixture 42 can switch between the feeding position and the discharge position. The positioning fixture 42 is configured to position the battery box at the feeding position along the second direction Y and the third direction Z. The second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular, and the plane where the second direction Y and the third direction Z are located intersects the height direction H of the feeding device 10.

[0089] The first direction X and the third direction Z can be the same or different.

[0090] As an example, the positioning fixture 42 includes a base 421, positioning posts 422, two first positioning elements 423, and two second positioning elements 424. The upper surface of the base 421 has positioning posts 422 for supporting the battery case. The two first positioning elements 423 are spaced apart along a second direction Y, and the two second positioning elements 424 are spaced apart along a third direction Z. The two first positioning elements 423 abut against the two ends of the battery case along the second direction Y, and the two second positioning elements 424 abut against the two ends of the battery case along the third direction Z. The conveying device 40 includes a roller conveyor with two guide bars spaced apart along the third direction Z. The base 421 is configured to guide the positioning fixture 42 via the guide bars, reducing deviation during conveying. In other examples, positioning grooves that mate with the battery case can be provided on the upper surface of the base 421 to position the battery case.

[0091] The positioning fixture 42 performs dual positioning of the battery box along the second direction Y and the third direction Z at the feeding position. Combined with the guiding structure, this ensures that the box maintains a stable posture during cleaning, thereby improving the consistency of the cleaning effect. The positioning fixture 42 can switch between the feeding position and the discharging position, enabling continuous flow of the box from cleaning completion to the next process, reducing waiting time.

[0092] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The conveying body 41 is a roller conveyor. The conveying body 41 has a limiting member 411. When the positioning fixture 42 is in the discharge position, the positioning fixture 42 abuts against the limiting member 411 to restrict the movement of the positioning fixture 42 along the second direction Y.

[0093] The limiting component 411 can be a limiting block or a limiting plate, etc. The limiting component 411 can be installed on the conveying body 41 by welding or screw connection, etc.

[0094] After the positioning fixture 42 comes into contact with the limiting member 411 at the material feeding position, it can restrict the movement of the positioning fixture 42 at the material feeding position. Combined with the positioning of the positioning fixture 42 itself, it can ensure the position of the battery box at the material feeding position, so as to improve the consistency of the cleaning effect.

[0095] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The conveying device 40 also includes a lifting mechanism 43, which is used to drive the positioning fixture 42 to move along the height direction H of the feeding device 10. The lifting mechanism 43 has a first state of being separated from the positioning fixture 42, and a second state of lifting the positioning fixture 42 and separating the positioning fixture 42 from the conveying device 40 at the discharge position.

[0096] The lifting mechanism 43 includes a lifting drive component, which can be, but is not limited to, a linear drive component such as a cylinder or an electric push rod. The lifting mechanism 43 can be installed on the conveying body 41, or it can be arranged at intervals from the conveying body 41 along the height direction H of the feeding device 10 and located at the bottom of the conveying body 41.

[0097] The lifting mechanism 43 lifts the positioning fixture 42, which can position the battery box in a predetermined position along the height direction H of the feeding device 10, so that the battery box can be placed on the positioning fixture 42 for positioning each time, thereby enabling the transfer device 30 to clean the battery box on a preset trajectory and improve the consistency of the cleaning effect.

[0098] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 The battery box cleaning system 100 also includes an alarm device 50, a controller 70, and a position sensor 60. The position sensor 60 is installed on the positioning fixture 42, and the alarm device 50 and the position sensor 60 are respectively connected to the controller 70.

[0099] As an example, the positioning fixture 42 is provided with position sensors 60 on both sides along the third direction Z, and / or the positioning fixture 42 is provided with position sensors 60 on both sides along the second direction Y, so as to detect whether the battery box is placed in a predetermined position when placing the battery box.

[0100] The alarm device 50 includes, but is not limited to, one or more of the following: a three-color light alarm device and an audible alarm device.

[0101] When the transfer device 30 places the positioning fixture 42, the positioning fixture 42 fails to position. After the position sensor 60 detects that the battery box is not in the predetermined position, the position sensor 60 sends a signal to the controller 70. The controller 70 sends an alarm message to the alarm device 50 based on the received signal. The alarm device 50 issues an alarm prompt to facilitate human intervention for adjustment.

[0102] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2The battery casing cleaning system 100 further includes a first barcode scanner 80, which is disposed on the conveying device 40 and is used to scan markings on the side of the battery casing; and / or, the battery casing cleaning system 100 further includes a second barcode scanner 90, which is disposed on the conveying device 40 and is used to scan markings on the bottom of the battery casing. The conveying device 40 is used to transport the scanned and cleaned battery casings from the feeding position to the discharging position.

[0103] Both the first scanning device 80 and the second scanning device 90 can be, but are not limited to, barcode scanners or QR code scanners.

[0104] The first scanning device 80 and the second scanning device 90 read the markings (such as barcodes or QR codes) on the battery box, and record key information such as the production batch and cleaning time of the box in real time. The entire process can be traced by scanning the markings during the production process, and the information is uploaded to the management system to reduce manual data entry errors.

[0105] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The battery box cleaning system 100 also includes a defective product placement workbench 1010, and a transfer device 30 for transferring battery boxes with abnormal barcode scanning to the defective product placement workbench 1010.

[0106] As an example, the defective product placement workbench 1010 includes a support 1011, a placement plate 1013, and positioning blocks 1012. The support 1011 is connected to the placement plate 1013. The top of the placement plate 1013 is provided with multiple sets of positioning blocks 1012, with each set containing four positioning blocks 1012 arranged in a rectangular array. Each positioning block 1012 forms a positioning groove. Placing defective battery boxes in the grooves of each positioning block 1012 can prevent the battery boxes from falling off the defective product placement workbench 1010. The placement plate 1013 and the support 1011 can be slidably connected in one direction along the horizontal plane. The specific direction can be determined according to the placement orientation of the defective product placement workbench 1010. When there are defective battery boxes on the defective product placement workbench 1010, the placement plate 1013 can be pulled out by a pull-out method to remove the battery boxes.

[0107] Based on the abnormal signals from the first barcode scanner 80 (such as blurred barcodes, incorrect data, or failure to meet cleaning standards), the transfer device 30 automatically transfers the problematic boxes to the non-conforming product placement workbench 1010, reducing downtime and the risk of operational errors, and improving production efficiency.

[0108] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1The transfer device 30 includes a driving component 31 and a clamping component 32. The driving component 31 has a movable end, and the clamping component 32 is disposed at the movable end. The clamping component 32 is used to clamp the battery box. The driving component 31 drives the cleaning head 21 to clean the battery box at the feeding position according to a preset trajectory through the clamping component 32.

[0109] As an example, the drive unit 31 is a robotic arm with multiple swing arms. The movable end of the robotic arm is equipped with a gripping component 32, which can be a pneumatic gripper or a hydraulic gripper, etc. After the battery box is successfully placed in the positioning fixture 42, the robotic arm can move along the planned path, allowing the cleaning head 21 to clean the battery box.

[0110] The cleaning head 21, through the precise control of the drive component 31, can repeatedly perform standardized cleaning actions, reducing cleaning blind spots caused by differences in human operation and improving cleaning consistency.

[0111] In one specific alternative embodiment of the battery compartment cleaning system 100, referring to... Figures 1-5 The battery box cleaning system 100 includes a feeding device 10, a cleaning device 20, a conveying device 40, a transfer device 30, an alarm device 50, a controller 70, a position sensor 60, a non-conforming product placement table 1010, a first barcode scanner 80, and a second barcode scanner 90. The feeding device 10 is used to place the battery boxes. The cleaning device 20 is located on one side of the feeding device 10 and includes a dust removal device 22 and a cleaning head 21. The dust removal device 22 has a suction port that communicates with the cleaning head 21. The transfer device 30 is used to transfer the battery boxes placed on the feeding device 10 to the discharge position. The transfer device 30 has a movable end, and the cleaning head 21 is located on the movable end. The transfer device 30 drives the cleaning head 21 to clean the battery boxes at the discharge position according to a preset trajectory. The feeding device 10 includes a frame 12 and at least two support members 11. The at least two support members 11 are spaced apart along the height direction H of the feeding device 10. The support members 11 are used to place at least one battery box. The support members 11 are slidably connected to the frame 12 along a first direction X. The support members 11 are configured to be able to move into or out of the frame 12 along the first direction X, which intersects with the height direction H of the feeding device 10. The conveying device 40 has a discharge position and a discharge position, which are spaced apart along a second direction Y. The conveying device 40 is used to transport the cleaned battery box from the discharge position to the discharge position.

[0112] The conveying device 40 includes a conveying body 41, a positioning fixture 42, and a lifting mechanism 43. The positioning fixture 42 is configured to guide and cooperate with the conveying body 41 along a second direction Y, and the positioning fixture 42 can switch between a feeding position and a discharging position. The positioning fixture 42 is configured to position the battery box at the feeding position along the second direction Y and the third direction Z. The second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. The second direction Y intersects with the height direction H of the feeding device 10. The plane containing the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersects with the height direction H of the feeding device 10. The third direction Z is the same as the first direction X. The conveying body 41 has a limiting member 411. When the positioning fixture 42 is located at the feeding position, the positioning fixture 42 abuts against the limiting member 411 to restrict the movement of the positioning fixture 42 along the second direction Y. The lifting mechanism 43 is used to drive the positioning fixture 42 to move along the height direction H of the feeding device 10. The lifting mechanism 43 has a first state of being separated from the positioning fixture 42, and a second state of lifting the positioning fixture 42 and separating it from the conveying device 40 at the discharge position. The position sensor 60 is installed on the positioning fixture 42. The alarm device 50 and the position sensor 60 are respectively connected to the controller 70.

[0113] A first barcode scanner 80 is installed on the conveying device 40 and is used to scan the markings on the side of the battery box. A second barcode scanner 90 is installed on the conveying device 40 and is used to scan the markings on the bottom of the battery box. The conveying device 40 is used to transport battery boxes that have passed barcode scanning and have been cleaned from the feeding position to the discharging position. A transfer device 30 is used to transfer battery boxes with abnormal barcode scanning to the non-conforming product placement table 1010. The transfer device 30 includes a driving component 31 and a clamping component 32. The driving component 31 has a movable end, and the clamping component 32 is located at the movable end. The clamping component 32 is used to clamp the battery box, and the driving component 31 drives the cleaning head 21 to clean the battery box at the feeding position according to a preset trajectory through the clamping component 32. The driving component 31 is a robotic arm.

[0114] Working process: Multiple battery boxes are manually placed onto each support 11 of the feeding device 10. After each support 11 is filled, the robot arm clamps the battery boxes on the same support 11 using the clamping component 32 and transfers them to the positioning fixture 42 of the conveying device 40. At this time, the positioning fixture 42 is in the feeding position. When a battery box is not placed in the predetermined position of the positioning fixture 42, the controller 70 controls the alarm device 50 to issue an alarm prompt based on the signal received from the position sensor 60, requiring manual intervention. After being placed in the predetermined position, the second barcode scanner 90 scans the markings on the bottom of the battery box. The lifting mechanism 43 lifts the battery box, and the first barcode scanner 80 scans the markings on the side of the battery box. When an abnormality is detected during scanning, the robot arm places the battery box on the non-conforming product placement table 1010 for subsequent cleaning. After a successful scan, the cleaning head 21 on the robotic arm cleans the battery box according to a preset trajectory. Once the cleaning is complete, the lifting mechanism 43 lowers the battery box, and the conveying device 40 transports the battery box to the discharge position for subsequent production processes.

[0115] The transfer device 30 drives the cleaning head 21 to automatically complete the comprehensive cleaning of the inside of the battery box according to a preset trajectory. Compared with manual operation, this significantly improves efficiency and saves manpower. At the same time, automated path planning reduces the need for multi-station switching, further shortening the production cycle. The cleaning head 21 and the transfer device 30 work together to clean the battery box according to the preset path, which can make the cleaning effect largely consistent each time, thereby improving the consistency of cleaning.
