Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to an online tray cleaning structure. Background Technology

[0002] Looking back at the history of battery development, three characteristics emerge in the current global battery industry: first, the rapid development of green and environmentally friendly batteries, including lithium-ion batteries and nickel-metal hydride batteries; second, the shift from primary batteries to rechargeable batteries, which aligns with sustainable development strategies; and third, the further development of batteries towards smaller, lighter, and thinner designs. Among commercially available rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries have the highest specific energy, especially polymer lithium-ion batteries, which enable the thinning of rechargeable batteries. Because of their high volumetric and gravimetric energy density, rechargeability, and lack of pollution, lithium-ion batteries possess the three major characteristics of current battery industry development, leading to rapid growth in developed countries.

[0003] With the rapid development of society and the economy, the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the aggravation of environmental pollution, and the increasing depletion of traditional energy sources, people are becoming more and more aware of environmental protection. Lithium-ion batteries, as a new type of chemical power source, are widely used in digital products, power tools, and other power products due to their green nature, high energy density, and long cycle life. Currently, domestic cylindrical battery production is gradually moving towards fully intelligent and automated production, and the requirements for the cleanliness of the carriers are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0004] In actual production, lithium-ion battery trays are used continuously without interruption, and there are many trays online. Manual cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is impossible to guarantee that all trays are cleaned. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in existing technologies where lithium-ion battery trays are used continuously and in large numbers in actual production. Manual cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is impossible to guarantee that all trays are cleaned completely.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an online pallet cleaning structure, including a robotic arm, the output end of which is connected to a clamp, a rotary dehydrator and an ultrasonic cleaner are respectively connected to the two sides of the front end of the robotic arm, a hot air box is connected to the front end of the rotary dehydrator, a second roller conveyor is connected to one side of the hot air box, and a first roller conveyor is connected to one side of the second roller conveyor.

[0007] Furthermore, the ultrasonic cleaner is provided with a bottom stirring assembly at the bottom, the bottom stirring assembly including a motor, and the output end of the motor is connected to a first gear.

[0008] Furthermore, a set of second gears is connected to both sides of the first gear, and a flipping blade is connected to the outer side of both sets of second gears.

[0009] Furthermore, protective covers are fitted onto the outer surfaces of the two sets of second gears, and fixing blocks are embedded in the inner walls at the four corners of the ultrasonic cleaner.

[0010] Furthermore, the surfaces of the four sets of fixing blocks are connected with mesh, and the position and size of the first gear match the position and size of the second gear.

[0011] Furthermore, the first gear and the second gear are meshed together, and the motor is connected to an external power supply wire via a control switch.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, the tooling uses an ultrasonic cleaner. After sensing the incoming material, the robot arm transports the tray to the ultrasonic cleaner. After cleaning, it is dehydrated by a rotary dehydrator and then transported to the next station for heating and drying. This allows for online cleaning of lithium-ion battery trays. The tooling is simple in structure, low in manufacturing cost, highly practical, widely applicable, and easy to operate.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, when cleaning the tray with an ultrasonic cleaner, the motor can be turned on to drive the first gear to rotate, so that the first gear can mesh and rotate with two sets of second gears at the same time, thereby creating stronger convection and turbulence in the cleaning fluid at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner, thus effectively improving the cleaning effect on the tray.

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an online pallet cleaning structure, including a robotic arm 1. The output end of the robotic arm 1 is connected to a clamp 2. A rotary dehydrator 3 and an ultrasonic cleaner 4 are respectively connected to the two sides of the front end of the robotic arm 1. A hot air box 7 is connected to the front end of the rotary dehydrator 3. A second roller line 6 is connected to one side of the hot air box 7. A first roller line 5 is connected to one side of the second roller line 6.

[0022] The effect achieved in Embodiment 1 is that the tooling uses an ultrasonic cleaner 4. When the incoming material is sensed, the robot arm 1 moves the tray from the first roller line 5 to the ultrasonic cleaner 4. After cleaning, it will be rotated and dehydrated by a rotary dehydrator 3, and then moved to the hot air box 7 of the next station for heating and drying. The lithium-ion battery tray is cleaned online. It has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, strong practicality, wide applicability, and simple operation.

[0023] Example 2, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner 4 is provided with a bottom stirring assembly 8, which includes a motor 801. The output end of the motor 801 is connected to a first gear 802. A set of second gears 803 is connected to both sides of the first gear 802. Rotating blades 804 are connected to the outer sides of the two sets of second gears 803. Protective covers 805 are fitted onto the outer surfaces of the two sets of second gears 803. Fixing blocks 806 are embedded in the inner walls of the four corners of the ultrasonic cleaner 4. A mesh 807 is connected to the surface of the four sets of fixing blocks 806. The position and size of the first gear 802 match the position and size of the second gear 803. The first gear 802 and the second gear 803 form a meshing connection. The motor 801 is connected to an external power cord through a control switch.

[0024] The effect achieved in Embodiment 2 is that when cleaning the tray, the motor 801 can be turned on to drive the first gear 802 to rotate. This allows the first gear 802 to mesh and rotate simultaneously with the two sets of second gears 803, thereby driving the two sets of rotating blades 804 to rotate at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner 4. Through the design of the fixing block 806, the partition 807 can be supported, separating the tray and preventing the tray from affecting the rotating blades 804. This results in stronger convection and turbulence of the cleaning fluid at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner 4 inside the machine, thereby effectively improving the cleaning effect on the tray.

[0025] Working principle: This fixture uses an ultrasonic cleaner 4. After sensing the incoming material, the robotic arm 1 transports the tray to the ultrasonic cleaner 4. After cleaning, it is dehydrated by a rotary dehydrator 3 and then transported to the next station for heating and drying. This allows for online cleaning of lithium-ion battery trays. The fixture has a simple structure, low manufacturing cost, strong practicality, wide applicability, and simple operation. When cleaning the tray with the ultrasonic cleaner 4, the motor 801 can be turned on to drive the first gear 802 to rotate. This allows the first gear 802 to mesh and rotate with two sets of second gears 803 simultaneously, creating stronger convection and turbulence in the cleaning fluid at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner 4, thereby effectively improving the cleaning effect on the tray.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
