Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum battery cell production technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning rack for aluminum battery cell shells. Background Technology
[0002] The aluminum casing of a battery cell, also known as the outer shell of a battery, protects the internal battery cells. The aluminum casing is manufactured using a stamping process. During stamping, lubricant or lubricating oil is applied to the surface of the casing. Therefore, after stamping, the casing needs to be placed in an ultrasonic cleaning tank for cleaning. For square-shaped aluminum casings with an open end, after being placed in the ultrasonic cleaning tank, the casing needs to be filled with water, after which it will sink to the bottom, making it difficult to remove. This application provides an ultrasonic cleaning rack for aluminum casings to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ultrasonic cleaning rack for aluminum battery cell shells, addressing the aforementioned technical deficiencies.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an ultrasonic cleaning rack for aluminum battery cells, comprising a frame, rotating shafts at both ends of a holding frame being rotatably connected to both sides of the frame, the upper part of the holding frame being open and detachably connected to a top cover, multiple guide posts being provided at the top of the frame, multiple guide cylinders being provided at the lower part of the hanging plate being slidably connected to the multiple guide posts, elongated holes extending vertically being provided on the guide cylinders, insertion rods being provided on the guide posts and inserted into the elongated holes, a vertical drive plate being provided on one side of the hanging plate, a lever being provided on the drive plate, rotating arms being provided above and below the lever, one end of the rotating arm being connected to a rotating shaft, and a lifting lug being provided at the top of the hanging plate.
[0005] To further optimize this technical solution, the extension direction of the rotating arm is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft.
[0006] To further optimize this technical solution, elastic hooks for hooking the holding frame are provided at both ends of both sides of the top cover.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: the frame is provided with multiple guide columns, the lower part of the hanging plate is provided with multiple guide cylinders, the guide cylinders are provided with elongated holes, the insert rods on the guide columns are inserted into the elongated holes, a drive plate is provided on one side of the hanging plate, a lever is provided on the drive plate, and rotating arms are provided above and below the lever. The upper part of the holding frame is open and a top cover is detachably connected to the opening. The rotating shafts at both ends of the holding frame are rotatably connected to the two sides of the frame, and one end of the rotating arm is connected to the rotating shaft. This makes it so that after the frame is placed in the ultrasonic cleaning tank, the opening of the aluminum shell of the battery cell faces obliquely upward, and it is not easy for gas to be trapped inside. After the hanging plate is raised, the opening of the aluminum shell of the battery cell faces obliquely downward, and it is not easy for water to accumulate inside. After the frame is placed on the ground, the aluminum shell of the battery cell can be removed from the holding frame. Attached Figure Description

[0011] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0012] Detailed implementation method: combined with Figure 1-2As shown, an ultrasonic cleaning rack for aluminum battery cell shells includes a frame 1, with rotating shafts 31 at both ends of a holding frame 3 rotatably connected to the sides of the frame 1. The upper part of the holding frame 3 is open, and a top cover 4 is detachably connected to the opening. The internal height of the holding frame 3 is slightly greater than the width of the aluminum battery cell shell. Multiple guide posts are provided at the top of the frame 1, and multiple guide cylinders 22 are provided at the lower part of the hanging plate 2, each slidably connected to a guide post. Each guide cylinder 22 has a long hole extending vertically, and each guide post has a rod inserted into the long hole. When the hanging plate 2 is lifted... When the frame 1 is lifted, the insertion rod contacts the lower end of the elongated hole. When the hanging plate 2 is lowered, the insertion rod contacts the upper end of the elongated hole. A vertical drive plate 23 is provided on one side of the hanging plate 2. A lever 231 is provided on the drive plate 23. Rotating arms 32 are provided above and below the lever 231. The distance between the two rotating arms 32 is slightly larger than the diameter of the lever 231. The lever 231 can slide relative to the rotating arms 32. One end of the rotating arm 32 is connected to the rotating shaft 31. A lifting lug 21 is provided on the top of the hanging plate 2. The lifting lug 21 can be hooked by the crane hook to lift the hanging plate 2.
[0013] Furthermore, the extending direction of the rotating arm 32 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 31.
[0014] Furthermore, both ends of the upper cover 4 are provided with elastic hooks 41 for hooking the holding frame 3. The hooks of the elastic hooks 41 face outwards. The elastic hooks 41 can hook the horizontal railings on the holding frame 3. Pushing the elastic hooks 41 inwards can disengage them from the railings so that the upper cover 4 can be removed.
[0015] When using, combine Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 is first placed on the ground. Under the weight of the hanging plate 2, the insertion rod contacts the top of the elongated hole on the guide cylinder 22. The lever 231 presses down the rotating arm 32 located below it, making the side of the holding frame 3 away from the drive plate 23 (hereinafter referred to as the front side) higher than the other side. Then, multiple aluminum battery cells are placed into the holding frame 3, with one side in the width direction contacting the bottom of the holding frame 3. The opening of the aluminum battery cells faces forward and upward. Then, the top cover 4 is closed. Then, the hanging plate 2 and the frame 1 are lifted by the crane and placed into the ultrasonic cleaning tank. After the steel wire rope of the crane is slack or the hook is removed, due to the holding... The height inside frame 3 is slightly greater than the width of the aluminum shell of the battery cell, and the opening of the aluminum shell of the battery cell faces forward and upward. Water can easily fill the inside of the aluminum shell of the battery cell without easily trapping air. After that, the aluminum shell of the battery cell can be cleaned. After cleaning, use an overhead crane to lift the hanging plate 2 and the frame 1 to remove it from the water surface. Under the action of the weight of the frame 1, the insertion rod contacts the lower end of the long hole. The rear side of the holding frame 3 is higher than its front side, so that the opening of the aluminum shell of the battery cell faces diagonally downward. The water inside flows out from the opening and it is not easy for water to accumulate inside. Then the frame 1 can be placed on the ground, the top cover 4 can be removed, and then the aluminum shell of the battery cell can be taken out.
[0016] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
