[0029] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning device 10 includes a drive module 1, a cleaning module 2, and a camera module 3; both the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 are connected to the drive module 1; the drive module 1 is used to drive the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 to move along a first direction; the cleaning module 2 is used to clean debris on the target area; and the camera module 3 is used to capture images of the target area.

[0032] In the prior art, the cleaning module 2 used to clean the battery and the camera module 3 used to photograph and inspect the weld seams of the battery are driven by different drive modules 1, which leads to a complex structure of the battery production equipment.

[0033] In this embodiment, the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 are integrated into a single drive module 1. When the cleaning device 10 is applied in the battery production equipment, the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 can be driven to move closer to or further away from the corresponding area (i.e., the target area) of the battery module through a single drive module 1, so as to clean and photograph the area. This reduces the number of parts in the battery production equipment, thereby simplifying the structure of the battery production equipment and reducing its cost.

[0034] Furthermore, in existing technologies, battery modules require switching between inspection and cleaning stations to achieve slag cleaning and weld inspection, resulting in low production efficiency. In this application, however, the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 are integrated together, allowing for cleaning and imaging inspection of the corresponding areas of the battery module at a single station, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0035] exist Figure 1 In the example shown, the first direction is parallel to the Z-axis, whereas in a practical application scenario, the first direction is vertical. When the cleaning module 2 moves downwards, it can approach the target area to clean it. During this process, the camera module 3 can also approach the target area to take pictures.

[0036] In one embodiment, when the cleaning device 10 is applied in a battery production equipment, the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 can move closer to or further away from the target area as they reciprocate along the first direction.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the drive module 1 includes a drive component 11, which drives the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 to reciprocate along a first direction. The drive component 11 can be a device such as an electric cylinder that can drive an object to reciprocate linearly.

[0038] In addition, the drive module 1 also includes a mounting plate 12, which is connected to the drive assembly 11. The cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 are both mounted on the mounting plate 12. The drive assembly 11 is used to drive the mounting plate 12 to reciprocate along a first direction, thereby driving the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 to reciprocate along the first direction.

[0039] In one embodiment, in the second direction, both the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 are mounted on the side of the mounting plate 12 away from the drive assembly 11, thus reducing interference. The second direction intersects the first direction; preferably, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. Figure 1 In the example shown, the second direction is parallel to the X-axis, whereas in a real-world application scenario, the second direction is the front-back direction.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning module 2 includes a cleaning drive 21, a cleaning brush 22, and a negative pressure pipe 23; the cleaning drive 21 is connected to the cleaning brush 22 and is used to drive the cleaning brush 22 to move in order to clean the target area; the negative pressure pipe 23 is adapted to be connected to a negative pressure device to suck up debris on the target area.

[0041] During operation, the negative pressure device is activated, generating negative pressure in the negative pressure pipe 23, which can then suck away residues and other debris from the target area. At this time, the cleaning drive component 21 drives the cleaning brush 22 to move, so that the cleaning brush 22 can apply force to the residues and other debris in the target area, preventing them from sticking to the target area, thus facilitating the suction of the residues by the negative pressure pipe 23.

[0042] In one embodiment, the cleaning drive component 21 is connected to the drive module 1, and specifically, the cleaning drive component 21 may be connected to the mounting plate 12. Alternatively, the cleaning drive component 21 may be connected to the mounting plate 12 via a corresponding support plate or the like.

[0043] In one embodiment, the drive module 1 can drive the cleaning brush 22 to rotate, thereby enabling the cleaning brush 22 to clean the target area. In this case, the cleaning drive unit 21 includes a rotary motor, which drives the cleaning brush 22 to rotate during operation.

[0044] In addition, when the cleaning drive unit 21 drives the cleaning brush 22 to rotate, the axis around which the cleaning brush 22 rotates can be parallel to the first direction.

[0045] Of course, in other embodiments, the cleaning drive 21 may also drive the cleaning brush 22 to move linearly back and forth so that it can clean the target area; or, the cleaning drive 21 may also drive the cleaning brush 22 to swing back and forth so that it can clean the target area.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning brush 22 is located inside the negative pressure pipe 23 and can extend out of the negative pressure pipe 23 to clean the target area. This makes full use of the space in the negative pressure pipe 23, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the cleaning device 10.

[0047] In one embodiment, the negative pressure pipe 23 is connected to the drive module 1. Specifically, the negative pressure pipe 23 may be connected to the mounting plate 12.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the drive module 1 also includes a fixing plate 13, which is connected to the mounting plate 12 and protrudes from the surface of the drive assembly 11. The negative pressure pipe 23 is connected to the fixing plate 13, thereby realizing its connection with the mounting plate 12.

[0049] Alternatively, the fixing plate 13 can be located below the mounting plate 12, the negative pressure pipe 23 can be located below the fixing plate 13, and the cleaning drive component 21 can be located above the fixing plate 13. In this case, the fixing plate 13 is provided with a clearance hole, through which the cleaning brush 22 can pass to the fixing plate 13 to connect to the cleaning drive component 21.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the negative pressure pipe 23 includes a first pipe 231; a cleaning brush 22 passes through the pipe hole of the first pipe 231; the connecting end of the cleaning brush 22 extends out of the first end of the first pipe 231 and is connected to the cleaning drive component 21; the cleaning end of the cleaning brush 22 extends out of the second end of the first pipe 231 to clean the target area. This arrangement facilitates the connection between the cleaning brush 22 and the cleaning drive component 21.

[0051] The first end and the second end are the two ends of the first tube 231 along its axial direction, and the tube hole of the first tube 231 extends from the end face of the first end to the end face of the second end. When the first direction is vertical, the first end can be the upper end of the first tube 231, and the second end can be the lower end of the first tube 231.

[0052] In addition, the first tube 231 is connected to the fixing plate 13. The first end of the first tube 231 has a mounting hole on its end face, which can be installed on the fixing plate 13 by means of bolts or other connecting parts.

[0053] In one embodiment, the first tube 231 can be a straight tube, such as a round tube. In this case, the axis of the first tube 231 can be parallel to the first direction.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the negative pressure tube 23 further includes a second tube 232, one end of which is connected to the side of the first tube 231. The side of the first tube 231 is provided with a connecting hole, which connects the tube hole of the first tube 231 and the tube hole of the second tube 232. The other end of the second tube 232 is adapted to be connected to a negative pressure device so that the negative pressure device can evacuate the tube hole of the second tube 232. The first tube 231 and the second tube 232 form a three-way structure.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning brush 22 includes a brush shaft 221 and a brush head 222. The brush shaft 221 is connected to the brush head 222. The end of the brush shaft 221 facing away from the brush head 222 is the connecting end, and the end of the brush head 222 facing away from the brush shaft 221 is the cleaning end. The cleaning drive member 21 is used to drive the brush shaft 221 to rotate around its own axis, thereby driving the brush head 222 to rotate. The cleaning device 10 also includes a seal that seals the brush shaft 221 and the first tube 231 and is located on the side of the connecting hole facing away from the cleaning end. The seal prevents air leakage at the first end of the first tube 231, improving the suction effect of residue.

[0056] In one embodiment, the brush head 222 and the brush shaft 221 are coaxial. Furthermore, the axis of the brush shaft 221 is parallel to a first direction.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning module 2 further includes a third tube 24, one end of which is connected to the second end and can elastically extend and retract in the arrangement direction of the first and second ends, allowing the cleaning end to extend out of the third tube 24; the third tube 24 is detachably connected to the first tube 231. The arrangement of the third tube 24 can improve the shielding and protection effect on the cleaning brush 22.

[0058] In addition, initially, the cleaning end of the cleaning brush 22 may not extend out of the third tube 24 (at this time, the cleaning end is in the state of entering the third tube 24). When the third tube 24 retracts along the direction from the second end to the first end, the cleaning end of the cleaning brush 22 may extend out of the third tube 24. Subsequently, after the third tube 24 is reset, the cleaning end of the cleaning brush 22 may re-enter the third tube 24.

[0059] The third tube 24 enhances the protection of the cleaning brush 22 without affecting its ability to clean the target area. Simultaneously, when the cleaning module 2 moves along the first direction towards the target area, the third tube 24 can contact the target area and retract, allowing the cleaning brush 22 to reach the target area. This prevents residue from splashing into the surrounding space during cleaning.

[0060] Furthermore, by making the third pipe 24 and the first pipe 231 detachably connected, the third pipe 24 can be replaced when it wears out, facilitating maintenance. In one embodiment, the third pipe 24 can be bound to the first pipe 231 by a hose clamp 25 or the like.

[0061] In one embodiment, the third tube 24 may be a bellows or the like.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the camera module 3 includes a carrier component 31, a 2D camera 32, and a 3D camera 33; the carrier component 31 is connected to the drive module 1; the 2D camera 32 and the 3D camera 33 are both connected to the carrier component 31 and are both used to capture the target area.

[0063] In practical use, images captured by the 2D camera 32 can be used for positioning, and images captured by the 3D camera 33 can be used for detection. Furthermore, both the 2D camera 32 and the 3D camera 33 can utilize existing designs.

[0064] In one embodiment, the axis of the brush axis 221 is parallel to the optical axis of the 2D camera 32. The optical axis of the 2D camera 32 is the axis of the lens of the 2D camera 32.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the support component 31 includes a support base 311, which is connected to the drive module 1, and a 2D camera 32 is connected to the support base 311. In a first direction, the mounting position of the 2D camera 32 on the support base 311 is adjustable. This allows adjustment of the focal length of the 2D camera 32 to improve the clarity of the captured image, thereby improving the detection effect.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the support component 31 further includes a connecting seat 312, to which the 2D camera 32 is connected. The connecting seat 312 is connected to the support 311. In a first direction, the mounting position of the connecting seat 312 on the support 311 is adjustable, thereby enabling the 2D camera 32 to be mounted on the support 311 in an adjustable manner.

[0067] In one embodiment, the support 311 has a first connecting hole, and the connecting seat 312 has a second connecting hole. The first connecting hole is a threaded hole, and the second connecting hole penetrates the connecting seat 312. The support assembly 31 also includes a connecting bolt, which passes through the second connecting hole into the connecting seat 312 and engages with the threaded connection in the first connecting hole, thereby locking the connecting seat 312 onto the support 311. Furthermore, the second connecting hole is an elongated hole extending along a first direction, allowing the connecting bolt to move relative to the connecting seat 312 within the second connecting hole. By adjusting the relative positions of the connecting bolt and the connecting seat 312 in the first direction, the positions of the connecting seat 312 and the 2D camera 32 in the first direction can be adjusted.

[0068] In one embodiment, the support 311 is connected to the mounting plate 12, and the connecting seat 312 is connected to the side of the support 311 opposite to the mounting plate 12, and the mounting plate 12, the support 311, and the connecting seat 312 are arranged sequentially along the second direction. In this case, the second connecting hole penetrates the connecting seat 312 along the second direction.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the bearing assembly 31 further includes a limiting block 313 and a limiting bolt. The limiting block 313 is connected to the bearing seat 311. The limiting block 313 is provided with a limiting hole that penetrates the limiting block 313 along a first direction. The limiting bolt is threadedly engaged with the limiting hole and abuts against the connecting seat 312. The limiting hole is a threaded hole.

[0070] When adjusting the position of the connecting seat 312 in the first direction, simply place the connecting seat 312 against the limiting bolt to position it appropriately in the first direction, thus facilitating position adjustment. Simultaneously, by adjusting the depth to which the limiting bolt is screwed into the limiting hole, the connecting seat 312 can be limited during different position adjustments.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the support component 31 further includes a connecting plate 314, which is connected to the support base 311. The 3D camera 33 is connected to the connecting plate 314 and is spaced apart from the 2D camera 32 in the second direction.

[0072] In the second direction, the 2D camera 32 is located between the 3D camera 33 and the support 311.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the camera module 3 further includes a protective member 34, which is connected to the support assembly 31. The protective member 34 has a receiving hole that passes through the protective member 34 along the optical axis of the 2D camera 32. The lens of the 2D camera 32 passes through the receiving hole. This can protect the lens of the 2D camera 32 and improve its service life.

[0074] Alternatively, the protective element 34 can be a block structure, which can be connected to the support 311.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the camera module 3 further includes a bracket 35 and a light source. The bracket 35 is connected to the support assembly 31, and the light source is connected to the bracket 35. The light source is used to project light onto the target area. This can improve the shooting effect.

[0076] Additionally, the bracket 35 can be a ring-shaped structure, which can be connected to the support 311. The light source can be an LED light, etc., and it can be a ring-shaped light source.

[0077] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, multiple cleaning modules 2 and multiple camera modules 3 are provided; each cleaning module 2 is spaced apart along a third direction; each camera module 3 is spaced apart along a third direction; the cleaning modules 2 and the camera modules 3 are in one-to-one correspondence, and the camera module 3 is used to capture images of the target area cleaned by its corresponding cleaning module 2; the first direction and the second direction both intersect at the third direction. This allows for simultaneous cleaning and capturing of multiple target areas, improving production efficiency. "Multiple" refers to two or more, and the meaning of "multiple" is the same in all embodiments.

[0078] Furthermore, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction can be perpendicular to each other. Figure 1 Of the directions shown, the third direction is parallel to the Y-axis, and it can be either the left or right direction.

[0079] In one embodiment, the target area is the welding area between the battery cell's tab and the busbar.

[0080] This utility model embodiment also provides a battery production equipment, which includes the cleaning device 10 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0081] It should be understood that, in other embodiments, the drive module 1 further includes a first drive unit for driving the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 to move along a second direction, and / or, the drive module 1 further includes a second drive unit for driving the cleaning module 2 and the camera module 3 to move along a third direction. The structures of the first drive unit and the second drive unit can be the same as the structure of the drive assembly 11. In one application scenario, the second drive unit can be connected to the first drive unit, and the drive assembly 11 can be connected to the second drive unit. In this case, the first drive unit can drive the second drive unit, the drive assembly 11, the cleaning module 2, and the camera module 3 to move along the second direction, and the second drive unit can drive the drive assembly 11, the cleaning module 2, and the camera module 3 to move along a third direction.

[0082] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0083] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
