Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery cleaning technology, specifically to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrolyte provides the medium for the charging and discharging reactions of the battery and the shuttle between the positive and negative electrodes, ensuring the normal operation of the battery. In the production process of aluminum-cased lithium-ion batteries, electrolyte filling is an important task. However, during the electrolyte filling process, due to the small filling port, electrolyte can easily overflow, leaving electrolyte residue on the surface of the battery casing and terminals. Currently, aluminum-cased batteries are generally cleaned manually with alcohol, but it is difficult to remove residual electrolyte and other contaminants from the casing and terminals. This process is also labor-intensive and increases production costs. If the residual electrolyte is not cleaned properly, it may cause a short circuit during battery handling, posing a safety hazard.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN110802074A discloses an automatic lithium battery cleaning device and method, comprising a conveyor belt, cleaning components, and a cleaning reagent tank. A motor is mounted on the conveyor belt. The cleaning components are installed on both sides of the conveyor belt, and spraying and drying components are also provided on both sides. The spraying components are located behind the cleaning components and are connected to a storage tank. The cleaning reagent tank contains cleaning reagent and is located in front of the cleaning components. The drying components are located behind the spraying components. The cleaning components are brushes. This device uses only brushes to clean the lithium batteries, resulting in poor cleaning effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides a cleaning device, including a cleaning frame, a rinsing nozzle above the cleaning frame, and a first cleaning component, a second cleaning component, and a drying component inside the cleaning frame. The first cleaning component is located above the second cleaning component, and the drying component is located below the second cleaning component.

[0007] Beneficial effects: The cleaning frame of this invention is used to fix the first cleaning component, the second cleaning component, and the drying component. The battery can be cleaned and dried while passing vertically through the cleaning frame. The battery is first rinsed by the rinsing nozzle, then cleaned twice by the first and second cleaning components to ensure that the electrolyte and other contaminants on the battery surface are cleaned. Finally, it is dried by the drying component to obtain a clean battery.

[0008] Preferably, the first cleaning assembly includes opposing drive shafts, the distance between which allows the battery to pass through, and brushes are provided on the surface of the drive shafts.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] according to Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a cleaning device, which includes a cleaning frame 1, which is a rectangular frame. A rinsing nozzle is provided above the cleaning frame 1. The rinsing nozzle sprays out a cleaning liquid, which can dissolve the electrolyte on the surface of the battery, thus facilitating the cleaning of the battery.

[0031] Inside the cleaning frame 1, a first cleaning component, a second cleaning component, and a drying component are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Multiple sets of the first and second cleaning components are also arranged sequentially from left to right inside the cleaning frame 1. The first and second cleaning components are positioned one-to-one, with the first cleaning component positioned 20cm above the second cleaning component. After the battery has been filled with electrolyte, it is moved vertically towards the cleaning frame 1 manually or by machine. During this movement, the rinsing nozzles above the cleaning frame 1 rinse away any remaining electrolyte on the battery surface. The battery then moves further into the cleaning frame 1, passing through the first and second cleaning components. Through the cooperation of these components, the remaining electrolyte and cleaning solution on the battery surface are thoroughly cleaned. Finally, the drying component dries the battery. The entire process is simple and convenient, facilitating battery cleaning. The multiple sets of first and second cleaning components inside the cleaning frame 1 allow for simultaneous cleaning and drying of multiple batteries, improving battery cleaning efficiency.

[0032] The first cleaning assembly includes two sets of drive shafts 201. The two ends of the two sets of drive shafts 201 are fixed to both sides of the cleaning frame 1. The two sets of drive shafts 201 are arranged opposite each other, and the distance between the drive shafts 201 is sufficient for the battery to pass through vertically. A brush 202 is provided on the surface of the drive shaft 201. The battery surface abuts against the brush 202. The rotation of the drive shaft 201 drives the brush 202 to rotate, thereby cleaning the electrolyte and cleaning solution on the battery surface.

[0033] The second cleaning assembly includes two sets of scraper blades 401, which are sleeved on the round rod 402 and fixed to both sides of the cleaning frame 1. The two sets of scraper blades 401 are arranged opposite each other, and the distance between the scraper blades 401 allows the battery to pass through vertically. The scraper blades 401 are made of rubber, which makes them less likely to scratch the battery. When the battery passes between the two sets of scraper blades 401, the elasticity of the rubber on the scraper blades 401 pushes them to keep against the battery surface. Through the action of the scraper blades 401 against the surface and the sliding action of the battery, the battery surface is cleaned again.

[0034] Both the upper and lower sides of the scraper 401 are provided with inclined surfaces 403 that abut against the end of the battery. The inclined surfaces 403 guide the battery to enter between the two sets of scraper 401, and the battery is cleaned by the protrusion in the middle of the scraper 401.

[0035] The drying assembly includes a dryer 301, which is disposed on the outside of the cleaning frame 1. A flow hole 302 is provided between the inside of the cleaning frame 1 and the dryer 301. The air outlet of the dryer 301 is connected to the flow hole 302. Multiple flow holes 302 are arranged in an array at the bottom of the cleaning frame 1. The heat generated by the dryer 301 is transported towards the inside of the cleaning frame 1 through the multiple flow holes 302. After the battery is cleaned, the dryer 301 is started. Through the heating effect of the dryer 301 and the flow transport effect of the flow holes 302, the hot air is transported to the inside of the cleaning frame 1 to dry the surface of the cleaned battery.

[0036] The working principle of the cleaning device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0037] After the electrolyte is injected into the battery, the electrolyte on the battery surface needs to be cleaned. The battery is moved vertically toward the cleaning frame 1 by manual or machine operation. The cleaning solution sprayed from the rinsing nozzle above the cleaning frame 1 rinses the battery and dissolves the electrolyte on the battery surface.

[0038] The battery then continues to move towards the interior of the cleaning frame 1, passing sequentially through two sets of brushes 202 and two sets of scrapers 401. As the battery passes between the brushes 202, the interaction between the battery and the brushes causes the brushes 202 to rotate via the drive shaft 201. This movement of the battery and the rotation of the brushes 202 clean the electrolyte and cleaning solution remaining on the battery surface after rinsing. Next, as the battery passes between the scrapers 401, the rubber elasticity of the scrapers 401 pushes them to remain in contact with the battery surface. This contact action of the scrapers 401 and the sliding action of the battery clean the battery surface. This embodiment, through the interaction of the first and second cleaning components, ensures that the electrolyte and cleaning solution remaining on the battery surface are thoroughly cleaned. The entire process is simple and convenient, facilitating battery cleaning.

[0039] Finally, the battery continues to move toward the bottom of the cleaning frame 1. The dryer 301 is started. Through the heating effect of the dryer 301 and the flow conveying effect of the flow hole 302, hot air is delivered to the inside of the cleaning frame 1 to dry the surface of the cleaned battery, and finally a clean battery is obtained.

[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
