[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides an electrode laser cleaning device, including a cleaning frame 1. The cleaning frame 1 serves as the main frame of the entire device. It is made of aluminum alloy and is welded as a whole. It has sufficient rigidity and stability and can withstand the weight of each component and the vibration during operation.

[0033] A horizontal adjustment component 2 is installed at the upper end of the cleaning frame 1. The horizontal adjustment component 2 is used to drive the laser cleaning part to move in the horizontal direction (lateral direction). The horizontal adjustment component 2 includes a horizontal box 21 fixed to one side of the upper end of the cleaning frame 1. The horizontal box 21 is made of stainless steel and is a cuboid box. A horizontal motor 22 is installed at the front end of the horizontal box 21 by bolts. The horizontal motor 22 is the power source of the horizontal adjustment component 2. The horizontal motor 22 is a servo motor. After being started by an external power supply and controller, it drives the output end to rotate, so as to realize the horizontal (lateral) displacement adjustment of the laser cleaning part to meet the cleaning needs of multiple poles.

[0034] The output end of the horizontal motor 22 extends to the inner wall of the horizontal box 21 and is coaxially mounted with a horizontal lead screw 23. A first slider 24 is threadedly connected to the body of the horizontal lead screw 23. The horizontal motor 22 is started by an external power supply and a corresponding controller, which causes the output end of the horizontal motor 22 to drive the horizontal lead screw 23 to rotate through a coupling. Since the horizontal lead screw 23 is threadedly connected to the first slider 24, the first slider 24 slides inside the horizontal box 21. The first slider 24 is rectangular and fits tightly against the inner wall of the horizontal box 21 to form a guiding constraint, ensuring that the first slider 24 moves smoothly along a straight line and reducing shaking.

[0035] An intermediate plate 25 is bolted to the upper end of the first slider 24. The intermediate plate 25 is made of aluminum alloy, which reduces its weight while ensuring its load-bearing capacity. A slide rail 26 is bolted to the other side of the upper end of the cleaning frame 1. The slide rail 26 is a linear slide rail with a hardened surface, which has high hardness and wear resistance. A slide block 27 slides on the slide rail 26 and is bolted to the intermediate plate 25. The combination of the slide rail 26 and the slide block 27 provides additional support and guidance for the intermediate plate 25, assisting the intermediate plate 25 to move smoothly laterally. During equipment operation, when the first slider 24 moves the intermediate plate 25 laterally, the slide block 27 slides synchronously on the slide rail 26, sharing the load of the intermediate plate 25 and reducing deformation and shaking caused by uneven force on the intermediate plate 25. At the same time, the guiding performance of the slide rail 26 and the slide block 27 further improves the stability of the laser cleaning part during lateral movement, ensuring that the laser cleaning part can be aligned with multiple poles for cleaning operations.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a vertical adjustment assembly 3 is installed on the intermediate plate 25. This vertical adjustment assembly 3 is used to drive the laser cleaning part to move in the vertical direction. The vertical adjustment assembly 3 includes a vertical frame 31 bolted to the intermediate plate 25. The vertical frame 31 is the supporting skeleton of the vertical adjustment assembly 3. It is made of aluminum alloy and has good rigidity and stability. A vertical motor 32 is bolted to the upper end of the vertical frame 31. This vertical motor 32 serves as the power source of the vertical adjustment assembly 3. It is also a servo motor. After being started by an external power supply and controller, it drives the output end to rotate, realizing the vertical displacement adjustment of the laser cleaning part to meet different needs. To meet the cleaning requirements of the specified pole, the output end of the vertical motor 32 extends into the vertical frame 31 and is coaxially mounted with a vertical lead screw 33. A second slider 34 is threadedly connected to the body of the vertical lead screw 33. The second slider 34 slides within the vertical frame 31. The vertical motor 32 is started by an external power supply and a corresponding controller, which causes the output end of the vertical motor 32 to drive the vertical lead screw 33 to rotate through a coupling. Since the vertical lead screw 33 is threadedly connected to the second slider 34, the second slider 34 slides within the vertical frame 31. The second slider 34 is rectangular and fits tightly against the inner wall of the vertical frame 31 to form a guiding constraint, ensuring that the second slider 34 moves smoothly along a straight line and reducing shaking.

[0037] An assembly frame 35 is fixedly installed on the second slider 34. The assembly frame 35 is made of aluminum alloy, which has good rigidity and structural strength and can withstand the weight of the laser cleaning part. An adapter plate 36 is bolted to the rear end of the assembly frame 35, and a laser cleaning gun 37 is bolted to the adapter plate 36. The adapter plate 36 serves as a transition connection, connecting the assembly frame 35 and the laser cleaning gun 37 together, and causing the laser cleaning gun 37 to move synchronously during the vertical movement of the assembly frame 35. At the same time, the laser cleaning gun 37 uses a high-energy-density laser beam to irradiate the surface of the electrode post. Through the interaction between the laser and the material, it removes impurities such as stains, oxide layers, and oil stains from the surface of the electrode post. Specifically, the laser beam emitted by the laser cleaning gun 37 can heat the impurities on the surface of the electrode post, causing them to vaporize or peel off, without damaging the electrode post substrate material.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a dust collection component 4 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning frame 1. The dust collection component 4 is used to adsorb dust and impurities generated during the cleaning process of the electrode post. The dust collection component 4 is located directly below the vertical adjustment component 3. The dust collection component 4 includes a cleaning box 41 fixed to the bottom surface of the cleaning frame 1. The cleaning box 41 is made of stainless steel and is the main housing component of the dust collection component 4. A mold base 42 is installed in the cleaning box 41 by bolts. Multiple electrode posts 43 are placed at intervals in the mold base 42. The mold base 42 is used to position the electrode posts 43 to be cleaned. The mold base 42 is specially designed according to the shape and size of the electrode posts 43 and has a positioning groove (not shown in the figure) that is adapted to the electrode posts 43. This ensures that the electrode posts 43 are not easily shaken during the laser cleaning process. At the same time, the electrode posts 43 are the objects to be cleaned by the laser cleaning device. They are usually battery posts or other metal parts. Their surfaces may have stains, oxide layers, oil stains and other impurities, which will affect the subsequent performance and connection quality.

[0039] A hollow dust collection frame 44 is fixed on the upper part of the inner wall of the cleaning box 41. The hollow dust collection frame 44 is located above the pole body 43. The hollow dust collection frame 44 has a hollow structure inside and forms a dust collection channel. Multiple dust collection nozzles 45 are spaced through the hollow dust collection frame 44. The dust collection nozzles 45 can capture most of the dust and debris generated during the cleaning process of the laser cleaning gun 37.

[0040] A blower 46 is bolted to the front end of the inner bottom surface of the cleaning frame 1. The blower 46 generates a strong suction force through a high-speed rotating impeller and forms a negative pressure to drive the flow of air and dust. A dust collection cylinder 47 is threadedly installed at the dust collection port of the blower 46. A filter cylinder 48 is installed in the cylinder body of the dust collection cylinder 47. The filter cylinder 48 is made of polyester fiber material. When air containing dust enters the dust collection cylinder 47, the dust will be intercepted by the filter cylinder 48, while the cleaned air will be discharged through the pores of the filter cylinder 48, thus achieving the separation of dust and air.

[0041] A suction pipe 49 is fixed at the upper end of the outer wall of the cleaning box 41. One end of the suction pipe 49 is connected to the suction cylinder 47. The suction pipe 49 is a channel connecting the hollow suction frame 44 and the suction cylinder 47. The suction pipe 49 passes through the cleaning box 41 through a short pipe (not shown in the figure) and is connected to the hollow suction frame 44 to form a complete dust conveying path. Under the negative pressure generated by the blower 46, the suction pipe 49 conveys the dust and air mixture collected by the hollow suction frame 44 to the suction cylinder 47 for filtration. Then, the blower 46 discharges the filtered gas into the air.

[0042] Working principle: First, the operator places the pole piece 43 to be cleaned into the positioning groove of the mold base 42 inside the cleaning box 41 to complete the positioning of the pole piece. Then, according to the position and specifications of the pole piece 43, the operating parameters of the horizontal motor 22 and the vertical motor 32 are set through the external controller.

[0043] After the vertical motor 32 is started, it drives the vertical lead screw 33 to rotate. The second slider 34 slides up and down along the vertical frame 31, which drives the assembly frame 35, the adapter plate 36 and the laser cleaning gun 37 to move in the vertical direction, so that the laser cleaning gun 37 is accurately aligned with the part of the pole to be cleaned. At the same time, the horizontal motor 22 is started, and its output end drives the horizontal lead screw 23 to rotate. Through the threaded transmission, the first slider 24 slides horizontally in the horizontal box 21, which in turn drives the middle plate 25, the slide block 27 and the vertical adjustment component 3 to move horizontally as a whole, so as to realize the horizontal position adjustment of the laser cleaning gun 37.

[0044] After positioning is completed, the laser cleaning gun 37 emits a high-energy-density laser beam. By utilizing the interaction between the laser and the impurities on the surface of the electrode 43, the impurities are instantly vaporized or peeled off, achieving the cleaning purpose without damaging the electrode substrate material. During the cleaning process, the blower 46 starts simultaneously. Its high-speed rotating impeller generates negative pressure, forming a stable airflow in the dust collection system. The dust and debris peeled off by the laser from the surface of the electrode 43 are carried by the airflow through the dust nozzle 45 into the hollow dust collection frame 44, and then transported to the dust collection cylinder 47 through the dust collection pipe 49. The dust is intercepted by the filter cylinder 48, realizing air-dust separation. The cleaned air is discharged by the blower 46, reducing pollution to the working environment.

[0045] Once one electrode 43 is cleaned, the horizontal motor 22 and the vertical motor 32 operate again to adjust the position of the laser cleaning gun 37 and clean the next electrode 43. This cycle continues until all electrode 43 are cleaned.

[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
