Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically relating to an intelligent cleaning device applied in the production process of new energy batteries, and more particularly to an intelligent integrated cleaning device that can perform all-round cleaning of the surface, interlayer side seams and bottom surface of new energy battery covers. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of new energy batteries, the battery cover (a double-layer structure with gaps between the layers, such as...) Figure 5 The cleanliness of the battery cover (as shown) directly affects the battery's sealing performance and safety. Existing new energy battery cover cleaning devices generally employ a single cleaning structure of "top and bottom dust blowing + top surface brush," which has the following core defects:

[0003] Limited cleaning scope: It can only be applied to the upper surface and the entire upper and lower area of ​​the battery cover, and cannot penetrate into the side seams and bottom surface of the battery cover interlayer. Dust and debris remaining in these areas can easily lead to sealing failure in subsequent packaging processes.

[0004] Poor cleaning effect: Traditional dust blowing methods have dispersed air pressure, making it difficult to completely remove stubborn dust, and lack targeted side seam cleaning components, so there is still a risk of dust residue on the battery cover after cleaning;

[0005] Limited functionality: It does not integrate an anti-static function. Static electricity generated during the cleaning process easily attracts dust from the air, leading to secondary pollution and further reducing the reliability of cleaning.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides an intelligent integrated cleaning device that combines multi-station, multi-dimensional cleaning and static electricity removal, achieving thorough cleaning of the entire battery cover area without any blind spots. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing cleaning devices, such as limited cleaning range and susceptibility to secondary pollution, and to provide an intelligent integrated cleaning device for new energy battery covers. Through multi-station collaboration and the design of dedicated cleaning components, it can achieve all-round cleaning of the surface, interlayer side seams and bottom of the battery cover, while eliminating electrostatic interference and improving cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0008] The above-mentioned objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a smart integrated cleaning device for new energy battery covers, including a frame, on which a feeding station, a brush washing station, a side seam blowing station, and an upper and lower blowing station are arranged sequentially along the battery cover conveying direction.

[0009] Loading station: It is equipped with an input conveyor belt and a suction cup picking module. The input conveyor belt is used to transport the battery cover to be cleaned, and the suction cup picking module is located above the end of the input conveyor belt to grab or pick up the battery cover to be cleaned and transfer it to the next station.

[0010] Brush cleaning station: It is equipped with an upper electric brush and a lower electric brush. The upper electric brush is set to the upper surface of the battery cover, and the lower electric brush is set to the bottom surface of the battery cover. Together, they can achieve brush cleaning of the upper and lower surfaces of the battery cover.

[0011] Side seam cleaning station: It is equipped with a side spray ion nozzle and a second carrier translation module. The side spray ion nozzle is set along the side seam of the battery cover and is used to spray ion airflow into the side seam of the battery cover interlayer. A dust suction hood is provided at the side spray ion nozzle. The second carrier translation module is located below the product conveying horizontal plane and is used to drive the battery cover to move along the side spray ion nozzle direction to realize all-round side seam cleaning.

[0012] Upper and lower air-cleaning station: Equipped with an upper rotary air knife, a lower rotary air knife, an upper antistatic assembly, a lower antistatic assembly, and an output conveyor belt; the upper and lower rotary air knives are respectively positioned on the upper and lower surfaces of the battery cover to generate rotating airflow to remove residual dust; the upper and lower antistatic eliminators are respectively positioned upstream and downstream of the upper and lower rotary air knives to eliminate static electricity on the surface of the battery cover; the output conveyor belt is used to transport the cleaned battery cover.

[0013] Conveying Module: A first carrier translation module is provided between the loading station and the brush washing station. The first carrier translation module is located below the product conveying horizontal plane. One end extends to the lower end of the suction cup picking module of the loading station, and the other end extends to the space between the upper and lower electric brushes of the brush washing station. A first transition translation module is provided above the end of the first carrier translation module. The first transition translation module connects the brush washing station and the side seam blowing station and is used to transfer the battery cover after brush cleaning to the side seam blowing station. The second carrier translation module of the side seam blowing station is collinear with and parallel to the first carrier translation module. A second transition translation module is provided above its end. The second transition translation module connects the side seam blowing station and the upper and lower blowing stations.

[0014] Auxiliary Structure: The brush washing station and the side seam blowing station are equipped with integrated dust collection covers to collect the dust generated during cleaning; the brush washing station, the side seam blowing station, and the upper and lower blowing stations all adopt a four-line parallel conveying structure (the four-line parallel conveying structure means that four independent conveying channels operate synchronously to achieve parallel cleaning of multiple battery covers), which can be adjusted according to production capacity requirements; the upper rotating air knife, the lower rotating air knife, the upper antistatic component, and the lower antistatic component are all set in two groups and arranged sequentially along the battery cover conveying direction.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0016] 1. Full cleaning coverage: The bottom surface of the battery cover is cleaned by the lower electric brush, and the side spray ion nozzles are used to clean the side seams of the interlayer. Combined with the upper electric brush and the upper and lower rotating air knife, a full-dimensional cleaning of "surface-side seams-bottom surface" is formed to eliminate cleaning dead corners.

[0017] 2. Significant cleaning effect: The ion airflow sprayed by the side spray ion nozzle can penetrate deep into the side seams and crevices, and the rotating airflow generated by the up and down rotating air knife has concentrated air pressure, which can thoroughly remove stubborn dust; the integrated dust collection hood collects dust in real time to prevent dust from spreading.

[0018] 3. Prevention of secondary pollution: The upper antistatic component eliminates static electricity on the surface of the battery cover before the rotary air knife blows, preventing dust from being difficult to remove due to static adsorption during blowing; the lower antistatic component eliminates static electricity on the lower surface after blowing, preventing secondary adsorption of dust during transportation. The dual antistatic design further improves the stability of cleanliness.

[0019] 4. High efficiency and strong adaptability: The four-line parallel conveyor structure replaces traditional manual operation, greatly improving cleaning efficiency; and the conveyor structure can be adjusted according to actual production capacity needs to adapt to different production rhythms.

[0020] 5. Structural Innovation: The integrated design of side-spray ion nozzles combined with bottom brushes, "upstream + downstream" dual static elimination combined with upper and lower rotating air knives and integrated dust collection is an original equipment structure that fills the technological gap in the industry for all-dimensional cleaning of battery covers.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0029] I. Component Assembly and Layout:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the frame and station layout: A smart integrated cleaning equipment for new energy battery covers includes a frame 1, which is formed by welding aluminum alloy profiles; the feeding station 2, the brush washing station 3, the side seam blowing station 4, and the upper and lower blowing station 5 are arranged in a straight line.

[0031] Assembly at the loading station: The input conveyor belt 21 adopts a belt conveyor structure with adjustable conveying speed; the suction cup picking module 22 is fixed above the end of the input conveyor belt 21 by a bracket, and the lower end of the module is equipped with multiple vacuum suction cups, which are connected to the vacuum pump through air pipes to realize the gripping and transfer of the battery cover.

[0032] Brush cleaning station assembly: The upper electric brush 31 and the lower electric brush 32 can be made of nylon bristles and are driven to rotate by a servo motor; the distance between them is adapted to the thickness of the battery cover and can be finely adjusted by adjusting the bracket; the integrated dust collection hood 6 is set on the bottom side of the brush, and the bottom of the hood is equipped with an exhaust port, which is connected to an industrial vacuum cleaner through a pipe to collect the dust generated by brush cleaning in real time.

[0033] Side seam cleaning station assembly: The jet nozzle direction of the side spray ion nozzle 41 is flush with the side seam of the battery cover to ensure that the ion airflow can penetrate deep into the side seam; the dust hood 43 is set around the side spray ion nozzle 41 and is connected to the industrial vacuum cleaner through the pipe; the second carrier translation module 42 drives the battery cover to pass through the side spray ion nozzle 41 at a uniform speed to achieve full-length side seam cleaning.

[0034] Upper and lower air-cleaning station assembly: Both the upper rotating air knife 51 and the lower rotating air knife 52 are made of stainless steel. The air knives can rotate 360° to ensure that the airflow covers the entire surface of the battery cover. The upper antistatic component 53 is located upstream of the upper rotating air knife 51, and the lower antistatic component 54 is located downstream of the lower rotating air knife 52. The two sets of air knives and the two sets of antistatic components are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction. The output conveyor belt 55 has the same structure as the input conveyor belt 21 and maintains synchronous conveying.

[0035] Conveying module assembly: Both the first carrier translation module 7 and the second carrier translation module 42 adopt a linear drive structure and maintain a reasonable distance from the product conveying horizontal plane to avoid interference with the transfer of the battery cover; the first transition translation module 8 and the second transition translation module 9 adopt a pneumatic gripper or vacuum suction cup structure to achieve a smooth transition of the battery cover between different translation modules.

[0036] II. Working Principle and Process:

[0037] Material loading stage: The new energy battery cover to be cleaned is conveyed to the material loading station 2 by the input conveyor belt 21. The vacuum suction cup of the suction cup picking module 22 descends and adsorbs the battery cover. Then the module moves to the top of the first carrier translation module 7 and releases the battery cover so that it is placed stably on the first carrier translation module 7.

[0038] Brush cleaning stage: The first carrier translation module 7 moves the battery cover to the brush cleaning station 3. First, it passes through the upper electric brush 31 to clean the upper surface of the battery cover. Then, the first transition translation module 8 grabs or picks up the battery cover from the first carrier translation module 7 and moves it to the upper side of the lower electric brush 32 to clean the bottom surface of the battery cover, removing the dust and debris attached to the surface. The dust generated during cleaning is collected in real time by the integrated dust collection hood 6 and removed by an industrial vacuum cleaner. After cleaning, the first transition translation module 8 transfers the battery cover to the second carrier translation module 42 of the side seam blowing station 4.

[0039] Side seam cleaning stage: The second carrier translation module 42 moves the battery cover at a constant speed through the side spray ion nozzle 41. The nozzle sprays high-pressure ion airflow into the side seam of the battery cover interlayer to blow away the dust remaining in the gap; at the same time, the dust suction hood 43 sucks away the dust generated by the side seam cleaning to prevent the dust from spreading; after the side seam is cleaned, the second transition translation module 9 grabs or picks up the battery cover from the second carrier translation module 42 and transfers it to the upper and lower cleaning station 5;

[0040] Upper and lower cleaning and static elimination stage: After the battery cover enters the upper and lower cleaning station 5, the second transition translation module 9 places the battery cover onto the output conveyor belt 55. First, it passes through the upper static elimination component 53 to eliminate the initial static electricity on the upper surface; then, it passes through two sets of upper rotating air knives 51 and two sets of lower rotating air knives 52, and the rotating airflow performs a secondary cleaning of the upper and lower surfaces of the battery cover to thoroughly remove residual dust; finally, it passes through the lower static elimination component 54 to eliminate the static electricity on the lower surface and prevent secondary dust adsorption.

[0041] Discharge stage: The cleaned and destaticated battery cover is conveyed by the output conveyor belt 55 to the next production process, thus completing one cleaning cycle.

[0042] III. Performance Advantage Verification:

[0043] In mass production testing of new energy battery covers, this equipment demonstrated the following advantages:

[0044] 1. Cleaning effect: The amount of dust residue on the surface of the battery cover, the side seams of the interlayer and the bottom surface is significantly reduced, and the cleaning qualification rate is greatly improved;

[0045] 2. Prevention of secondary pollution: The process design of "upstream static removal + purging + downstream static removal" significantly reduces the static electricity on the surface of the battery cover after cleaning, and the dust adsorption rate during transportation is reduced by more than 90%.

[0046] 3. Cleaning efficiency: The four-line parallel structure has a cleaning efficiency far higher than that of traditional manual operation, and there is no human operation error, making it suitable for large-scale mass production needs.
