Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular to a glue gun cleaning fixture, apparatus and automatic cleaning system. Background Technology

[0002] In battery manufacturing, the coating process is one of the key steps to ensure battery performance and safety. Coating technology is widely used in various stages of battery production, including but not limited to coating electrode surfaces, cell encapsulation, and battery pack sealing. These processes require uniform and precise coating to guarantee the battery's electrochemical performance and mechanical stability. With the development of battery technology, the requirements for the precision and efficiency of the coating process are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] However, existing adhesive coating technologies face several pressing technical challenges. Firstly, adhesive residue often remains at the nozzle after the coating process. This residue may originate from the adhesion of the coating material or from adhesive splattering during application. The presence of this residue not only affects the cleanliness of the coating gun but can also lead to uneven coating in subsequent applications, ultimately impacting battery performance and consistency. Traditional methods for addressing this issue include using steel wire, rubber bands, or electric rollers to clean the gun, but these methods often fail to completely remove the residue from the nozzle and may even introduce new foreign matter, causing contamination.

[0004] Another method is liquid rinsing, but the splashing of the rinsing liquid presents a challenge. During nozzle cleaning, the high-speed jet of the liquid easily causes splashing, resulting in the cleaning fluid scattering everywhere. This splashing not only wastes cleaning fluid but can also pollute operators and the surrounding environment, increasing production costs and impacting work safety.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new cleaning solution that can effectively solve the problems of glue residue from glue guns and splashing during cleaning, thereby improving battery production efficiency, ensuring product quality, and protecting the production environment.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0049] This application discloses a cleaning fixture for a glue applicator gun.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of a glue-applying gun cleaning fixture provided in this application includes:

[0051] The fixture body 1 and the first pore structure 21.

[0052] The fixture body 1 has a cleaning chamber inside; one surface of the fixture body 1 has a connecting hole 121 that connects to the cleaning chamber and allows the cleaning gun head to be inserted.

[0053] The fixture body 1 is provided with a first air passage 22; a first air hole structure 21 is provided on the peripheral wall of the cleaning chamber and is connected to the air supply source outside the fixture body 1 through the first air passage 22.

[0054] The glue gun cleaning fixture designed in this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0055] 1. The airflow ejected by the first air hole structure 21 is used to clean the glue gun. The airflow can directly act on the gun head, blowing off or dispersing the glue adhering to the surface of the gun head, thereby effectively avoiding glue residue in the glue gun.

[0056] 2. Since the cleaning process uses airflow in the cleaning chamber instead of liquid, there will be no liquid splashing, avoiding pollution to operators and the surrounding environment, and effectively solving the problems of residual glue from the glue gun and splashing during cleaning.

[0057] In summary, the designed glue gun cleaning fixture enables high-speed airflow cleaning, achieving non-contact cleaning operations. Compared to traditional liquid cleaning, it is more efficient and cleaner, not only improving battery production efficiency but also ensuring product quality and protecting the production environment.

[0058] The above is Embodiment 1 of a glue-applying gun cleaning fixture provided in this application. The following is Embodiment 2 of a glue-applying gun cleaning fixture provided in this application. Please refer to the following for details. Figures 1 to 3 .

[0059] Based on the solution of Embodiment 1 above:

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the first air hole structure 21 includes a plurality of arrayed cleaning air holes 211. The arrayed cleaning air holes 211 can form a narrow air knife effect, thereby forming a more uniform and directional airflow layer or air curtain, and better removing the glue residue on the gun head (nozzle).

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a second pore structure 31 (the second pore structure 31 can be a single pore structure, and the specific design can be varied according to actual needs without limitation); the fixture body 1 is provided with a second air channel 32; the second pore structure 31 is provided on the wall of the connecting hole 121, and the connecting hole 121 is connected to the outside of the fixture body 1 through the second air channel 32. The design of the second pore structure 31 in conjunction with the first pore structure 21 can further improve the cleaning effect and achieve the effect of keeping the glue gun clean; specifically, by forming an airflow layer or air curtain in the connecting hole 121 through the second pore structure 31, the glue washed out in the cleaning chamber can be prevented from flowing to the outside through the connecting hole 121, thereby maintaining the cleanliness effect.

[0062] Furthermore, there are at least two first pore structures 21, which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the connecting hole 121; and at least two second pore structures 31, which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the connecting hole 121.

[0063] This design ensures that the cleaning airflow is more evenly distributed around the nozzle, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, if one air vent becomes clogged or has insufficient airflow, the other vent can still function normally, guaranteeing the continuity and stability of the cleaning process.

[0064] The number of first air passages 22 used to connect the first air pore structure 21 can be the same as the number of first air pore structures 21, achieving one-to-one pairing and connection, or one-to-many pairing and connection; similarly, the same applies to the second air passage 32, and there is no specific limitation.

[0065] Taking two first pore structures 21 and two second pore structures 31 as an example, the line connecting the two first pore structures 21 is perpendicular to the line connecting the two second pore structures 31, thus achieving a more uniform layout.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, the design of the fixture body 1 includes an outer shell 12 and an embedded module 11. The outer shell 12 can be a rectangular box structure, which can be cast using an integrated molding process to ensure the airtightness of the gas flow process in the first air passage 22 and the second air passage 32 in the outer shell 12, thereby ensuring that the pressure of the cleaning gas can meet the requirements for rapid cleaning.

[0067] The bottom of the fixture body 1 is provided with a cavity 122 that is adapted to the embedded module 11; the top of the fixture body 1 is provided with a connecting hole 121 that connects to the cavity 122; the embedded module 11 is installed in the cavity 122 and is provided with a through cavity that connects to the connecting hole 121 to form a cleaning chamber.

[0068] The embedded module 11 can adopt a modular design for easy replacement and maintenance. Simultaneously, the shape and size of the embedded module 11 match the cavity 122, ensuring the stability and sealing of the embedded module 11 within the cavity 122. The embedded module 11 has a through cavity communicating with the connecting hole 121, ensuring the nozzle can be inserted for thorough cleaning. Furthermore, this design allows the cleaned colloid to fall unimpeded from the bottom opening, facilitating subsequent collection.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the concave cavity 122 is a frustum-shaped chamber, and correspondingly, the embedded module 11 is a frustum-shaped chamber that is adapted to it, such as a square frustum or a cylindrical frustum, and there is no specific limitation.

[0070] Taking the square pyramidal design as an example, the cavity 122 has four inclined sides. The embedded module 11 can be designed as four connecting side plates 111. The four connecting side plates 111 are detachably installed on the inclined sides of the cavity 122 in a one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, they can be fastened by screws or bolts, making installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0071] The top of the embedded module 11 is provided with a first clearance opening 112 that connects to the first air hole structure 21.

[0072] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a positioning element 4; the positioning element 4 can be a T-shaped block structure, which can be detachably inserted into the connecting hole 121 by means of screws or bolts, and has a positioning hole 41 that passes through itself and connects to the cleaning chamber.

[0073] The positioning component 4 is provided with a second clearance opening 42 to avoid the second air hole structure 31.

[0074] The positioning element 4 is designed to position and fix the nozzle, preventing it from shaking or shifting during the cleaning process and affecting the cleaning effect. The positioning element 4 has a second clearance opening 42 to avoid obstructing the second air vent structure 31, ensuring that the airflow layer or air curtain formed by the second air vent structure 31 can function properly and is not blocked by the positioning element 4. This design of the positioning element 4 further improves the accuracy and stability of the cleaning process.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, this application also discloses a glue gun cleaning device, including a fixed bracket 51, an air valve assembly 54, a collection bucket 53, and a glue gun cleaning fixture.

[0076] The glue gun cleaning fixture is connected to the fixed bracket 51 via connector 52. Connector 52 can be a Z-shaped connecting plate structure, as long as it meets the connection and fixing function, without any restrictions.

[0077] The air valve assembly 54 is mounted on the fixed bracket 51 and is connected to the first air passage 22 and the second air passage 32 of the glue gun cleaning fixture via a connecting pipe. The air valve assembly 54 includes a solenoid valve and an air distribution block. The solenoid valve is used to control the on / off of the airflow, and the air distribution block is used to distribute the airflow to the first air passage 22 and the second air passage 32 and to achieve rapid cleaning of the glue gun by adjusting the amount of air.

[0078] The collection bucket 53 is connected to the cleaning chamber of the glue gun cleaning fixture and is used to collect the glue that has been washed off, so as to prevent the glue from remaining in the cleaning chamber and maintain the cleanliness of the cleaning fixture.

[0079] Taking the embedded module 11 as an example, the collection bucket 53 can be set below the fixture body 1, with the top collection port facing the bottom opening of the embedded module 11, or connected to the bottom opening, or the two can be connected through a collection pipe, without any specific restrictions.

[0080] The glue gun cleaning device designed in this application, through the cooperation of the glue gun cleaning fixture, the fixed bracket 51, the air valve assembly 54 and the collection bucket 53, achieves rapid, efficient and clean cleaning of the glue gun, effectively solves the problems of glue residue and cleaning splashing, improves battery production efficiency, ensures product quality, and also protects the production environment.

[0081] like Figure 5 As shown, this application also discloses an automatic cleaning system, including a frame 6 (which may be a gantry frame), a displacement drive device 7, a glue gun device 8, and a glue gun cleaning device.

[0082] The displacement drive device 7 is mounted on the frame 6; the glue gun device 8 is mounted on the displacement drive device 7; the glue gun cleaning device is located within the moving coverage area of ​​the displacement drive device 7 and is located on one side of the frame 6.

[0083] The system uses a displacement drive device 7 to move the glue-applying gun device 8 along the frame 6. When the glue-applying gun device 8 needs cleaning, the displacement drive device 7 moves it to the position of the glue-applying gun cleaning device. The glue-applying gun cleaning device then cleans the glue-applying gun quickly and efficiently according to the aforementioned design. This system not only improves the cleaning efficiency of the glue-applying gun but also ensures the cleaning quality, thereby further improving the overall efficiency and product quality of battery production. At the same time, the system has a high degree of automation, reducing manual intervention and lowering production costs.

[0084] Furthermore, the displacement drive device 7 is a three-axis displacement module (including a first displacement module 71, a second displacement module 72, and a third displacement module 73, which cooperate to achieve three-axis displacement drive; this three-axis displacement module is an existing three-axis displacement mechanism and will not be described in detail). The three-axis displacement module can achieve precise movement in three-dimensional space, thereby ensuring that the glue gun device 8 can accurately move to the position of the glue gun cleaning device for cleaning, realizing automatic completion of glue gun cleaning under the drive of the control module. This design not only improves the accuracy of cleaning / glue application but also makes the entire cleaning / glue application process more automated and efficient (it can switch between glue application and glue removal states in real time, achieving the effect of rapid glue application and residual glue removal).

[0085] The above provides a detailed description of a glue gun cleaning fixture, apparatus, and automatic cleaning system provided in this application. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
