Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production equipment, and more specifically, to a cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of solar silicon wafers, surface cleaning of the edge silicon material (i.e., the edge waste generated during the cutting of silicon rods) is an essential step. After cutting, the edge silicon material often has stubborn stains such as silicon mud and silicon powder attached to it. Especially when using diamond wire cutting technology, metal shavings will remain on the cut surface. This not only affects the subsequent processing and quality of the silicon material, but may also lead to equipment wear and contamination.
[0003] Currently, the industry standard method is to manually clean the surface with a brush, followed by water rinsing and reagent cleaning. While this cleaning process can remove some stains, it is inefficient and the results are inconsistent, leading to silicon powder adhering to the surface of the cleaned silicon material. It also has a certain impact on the environment, and the use of reagents increases production costs.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies suffer from poor cleaning performance of the silicon material at the edge. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device to solve the problem of poor cleaning effect of edge silicon material in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a cleaning device is provided, comprising: a conveying assembly having a conveying channel; a brush assembly disposed on the conveying assembly corresponding to the conveying channel, and at least a portion of the brush assembly being rotatable relative to the conveying assembly; a spray washing assembly disposed downstream of the conveying channel relative to the brush assembly; and an ultrasonic cleaning assembly disposed at one end near the conveying channel and away from the brush assembly.
[0007] Furthermore, the brush assembly includes multiple rotating brushes, at least a portion of which is rotatable relative to the conveying assembly, and at least one rotating brush is provided on each side of the conveying channel.
[0008] Furthermore, the number of rotating brushes on both sides of the conveying channel is equal and corresponds one-to-one.
[0009] Furthermore, the brush head of the rotating brush is made of silicon carbide.
[0010] Furthermore, the rotation speed of the brush is greater than or equal to 1200 rpm and less than or equal to 1500 rpm.
[0011] Furthermore, the conveying assembly includes: a mounting platform having a receiving cavity; and a plurality of rotating rollers spaced apart within the receiving cavity to form a conveying channel, wherein the rotating rollers are rotatable relative to the mounting platform.
[0012] Furthermore, the spray washing assembly includes multiple nozzles, with at least one nozzle disposed above and below the conveying channel.
[0013] Furthermore, at least two nozzles are provided below the conveying channel, and the spraying directions of the at least two nozzles are different.
[0014] Furthermore, the cleaning device also includes a robotic arm assembly, which is mounted on the conveying assembly, and at least a portion of the robotic arm assembly is movable relative to the conveying assembly.
[0015] Furthermore, the robotic arm assembly includes: a mounting frame, which is disposed on the conveying assembly corresponding to the ultrasonic cleaning assembly, and at least a portion of the mounting frame is located above the ultrasonic cleaning assembly; a guide frame, which is disposed on the mounting frame, and at least a portion of the guide frame is located above the conveying channel, and at least another portion of the guide frame is located above the ultrasonic cleaning assembly; and a robotic arm body, which is disposed on the guide frame and is capable of moving along the guide frame.
[0016] Applying the technical solution of this utility model, the cleaning device in this application includes a conveying assembly, a brush assembly, a spray washing assembly, and an ultrasonic cleaning assembly. The conveying assembly has a conveying channel; the brush assembly is disposed on the conveying assembly corresponding to the conveying channel, and at least a portion of the brush assembly is rotatable relative to the conveying assembly; the spray washing assembly is disposed downstream of the conveying channel relative to the brush assembly; the ultrasonic cleaning assembly is disposed at the end near the conveying channel and away from the brush assembly.
[0017] When using the cleaning device of this application, the conveying component allows for the transport of the silicon edge material to be cleaned. During transport, the device incorporates a brush assembly, a spray washing assembly, and an ultrasonic cleaning assembly. The brush assembly is positioned upstream of the spray washing assembly in the transport direction, and the ultrasonic cleaning assembly is located near the end of the conveying channel away from the brush assembly. Therefore, the brush assembly first cleans the surface of the silicon edge material, followed by a thorough rinsing by the spray washing assembly to remove stubborn stains such as silica sludge. Finally, the silicon edge material undergoes a final ultrasonic cleaning, resulting in effective cleaning. This innovative design achieves highly efficient removal of stubborn stains and silica sludge from the edge surface, while effectively reducing the metal content on the cut surface and minimizing the use of chemical reagents. This not only reduces company costs but also contributes to environmental protection. In practical applications, the cleaning efficiency and effect far exceed manual cleaning, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality, setting a new benchmark for the development of automated cleaning technology. Therefore, the cleaning device of this application effectively solves the problem of poor cleaning effect of silicon edge material in existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To address the problem of poor cleaning effect of edge silicon material in existing technologies, this application provides a cleaning device.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning apparatus of this application includes a conveying assembly 10, a brush assembly 20, a spray washing assembly 30, and an ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40. The conveying assembly 10 has a conveying channel 11; the brush assembly 20 is disposed on the conveying assembly 10 corresponding to the conveying channel 11, and at least a portion of the brush assembly 20 is rotatable relative to the conveying assembly 10; the spray washing assembly 30 is disposed downstream of the conveying channel 11 relative to the brush assembly 20; the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40 is disposed at the end near the conveying channel 11 and away from the brush assembly 20.
[0028] When using the cleaning apparatus of this application, the conveying assembly 10 allows for the transport of the silicon edge material to be cleaned. During transport, the brush assembly 20, spray washing assembly 30, and ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40 are included. The brush assembly 20 is positioned upstream of the spray washing assembly 30 in the transport direction of the conveying assembly 10, and the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40 is located near the end of the conveying channel 11 away from the brush assembly 20. Therefore, the surface of the silicon edge material can be cleaned first by the brush assembly 20, then thoroughly rinsed by the spray washing assembly 30 to remove stubborn stains such as silica sludge, and finally, the silicon edge material enters the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40 for final cleaning. This effectively cleans the silicon edge material. Through the innovative design of this cleaning apparatus, efficient removal of stubborn stains and silica sludge from the edge surface is achieved, while effectively reducing the metal content on the cut surface and the use of chemical reagents. This not only reduces company costs but also contributes to environmental protection. In practical applications, the cleaning efficiency and effectiveness far surpass manual cleaning, significantly improving production efficiency and product quality, and setting a new benchmark for the development of automated cleaning technology. Therefore, the cleaning device in this application effectively solves the problem of poor cleaning effect of edge silicon material in the prior art.
[0029] In one specific embodiment of this application, the conveying assembly 10 includes a mounting platform 12 and a plurality of rotating rollers 111. The mounting platform 12 has a receiving cavity; the plurality of rotating rollers 111 are spaced apart within the receiving cavity to form a conveying channel 11, and the rotating rollers 111 are rotatable relative to the mounting platform 12. That is, in this application, the conveying of edge silicon material can be achieved by the rotation of the plurality of rotating rollers 111. Furthermore, the brush assembly 20 and the spray washing assembly 30 are located at different positions in the conveying channel 11, thereby ensuring that the edge silicon material can be cleaned sequentially by passing through the brush assembly 20 and the spray washing assembly 30. In addition, in this application, the spray washing assembly 30 can spray cleaning fluid toward the edge silicon material on the rotating rollers 111, and the cleaning fluid can be water or other liquids with cleaning effects.
[0030] Furthermore, in this application, placing the brush assembly 20 on the mounting platform 12 allows for cleaning of the edge silicon material without obstructing the conveying of the edge silicon material by the rotating roller 111. Therefore, in the arrangement of the brush assembly 20 in this application, although the brush assembly 20 is placed on the mounting platform 12, the bristle portion of the brush assembly 20 can extend into the conveying path of the edge silicon material, thereby ensuring that the brush assembly 20 can effectively clean the edge silicon material.
[0031] Specifically, the brush assembly 20 includes multiple rotating brushes 21, at least a portion of which is rotatable relative to the conveying assembly 10. At least one rotating brush 21 is provided on each side of the conveying channel 11. That is, in this application, the rotating brush 21 and the mounting platform 12 can be rotatably connected. Of course, the rotating brush 21 and the mounting platform 12 can also be fixedly connected, as long as the brush portion of the rotating brush 21 can rotate. In other words, regardless of the mounting method between the rotating brush 21 and the mounting platform 12, it is necessary to ensure that the brush portion or brush head portion of the rotating brush 21 can rotate, thereby achieving the cleaning of the edge silicon material.
[0032] Optionally, the number of rotating brushes 21 on both sides of the conveying channel 11 is equal and corresponds one-to-one.
[0033] Optionally, the brush head of the rotating brush 21 is made of silicon carbide material.
[0034] Optionally, the rotational speed of the brush 21 is greater than or equal to 1200 rpm and less than or equal to 1500 rpm. In this application, the rotational speed of the brush 21 generally refers to the rotational speed of the brush head of the brush 21.
[0035] In this application, the setting method, manufacturing material, and rotation speed of the rotating brush 21 can all be adaptively adjusted according to actual usage. Furthermore, in this application, the rotating brush 21 may not rotate, but rather use vibration to clean the edge silicon material.
[0036] Optionally, the spray washing assembly 30 includes a plurality of nozzles 31, with at least one nozzle 31 disposed above and below the conveying channel 11. In this application, the water outlet of the nozzle 31 can be a flat outlet, thereby ensuring that the water sprayed from the nozzle 31 through the outlet can have a cleaning effect similar to high-pressure water cutting.
[0037] Optionally, at least two nozzles 31 are provided below the conveying channel 11, and the spraying directions of the at least two nozzles 31 are different. In one specific embodiment of this application, one nozzle 31 is provided above the conveying channel 11, while two nozzles 31 are provided at intervals below the conveying channel 11. Of course, in this application, the number and placement of the nozzles 31 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual usage requirements.
[0038] Optionally, the cleaning device further includes a robotic arm assembly 50, which is disposed on the conveying assembly 10, and at least a portion of the robotic arm assembly 50 is movable relative to the conveying assembly 10.
[0039] Optionally, the robotic arm assembly 50 includes: a mounting frame 51, which is disposed on the conveying assembly 10 corresponding to the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40, and at least a portion of the mounting frame 51 is located above the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40; a guide frame 52, which is disposed on the mounting frame 51, and at least a portion of the guide frame 52 is located above the conveying channel 11, and at least another portion of the guide frame 52 is located above the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40; and a robotic arm body 53, which is disposed on the guide frame 52 and is capable of moving along the guide frame 52.
[0040] In one specific embodiment of this application, the mounting frame 51 may be a gantry frame mounted on the mounting platform 12, the guide frame 52 may be a guide rail mounted on the gantry frame along the conveying direction of the conveying channel 11, and the ultrasonic cleaning assembly 40 may be an ultrasonic cleaning tank located near the end of the conveying channel 11. Therefore, after the conveying assembly 10 in this application conveys the edge silicon material from one end near the brush assembly 20 to the end away from the brush assembly 20, the robotic arm body 53 can move along the guide frame 52 to transfer the edge silicon material on the rotating roller 111 into the ultrasonic cleaning tank for cleaning.
