Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage equipment manufacturing and processing technology, and in particular to a rotary dust collection device. Background Technology

[0002] During battery manufacturing, metallic dust or particles are often generated. If these particles remain inside the battery, they can cause diaphragm puncture, leading to internal short circuits, self-discharge, capacity decay, or even explosion, severely impacting battery quality and safety. Therefore, current technology uses vacuum cleaners to remove metallic dust or particles from the battery cavity. However, existing vacuum cleaners can be categorized into two types based on their structural complexity: complex vacuum cleaners are expensive and difficult to maintain, while simple vacuum cleaners often only clean one side of the battery, resulting in poor cleaning performance and the possibility of residual metallic dust or particles, which is detrimental to ensuring battery quality and safety.

[0011] Optionally, the gripper group, the gripping drive, and the flipping drive of each set of gripping components are arranged sequentially along the radial direction of the turntable.

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the drawings, not all of them.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections or detachable connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between 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.

[0028] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0029] During battery manufacturing, metallic dust or particles are often generated. If these particles remain inside the battery, they can cause diaphragm puncture, leading to internal short circuits, self-discharge, capacity decay, or even explosion, severely impacting battery quality and safety. Therefore, current technology uses vacuum cleaners to remove metallic dust or particles from the battery cavity. However, existing vacuum cleaners can be categorized into two types based on their structural complexity: complex vacuum cleaners are expensive and difficult to maintain, while simple vacuum cleaners often only clean one side of the battery, resulting in poor cleaning performance and the possibility of residual metallic dust or particles, which is detrimental to ensuring battery quality and safety.

[0030] Therefore, this embodiment provides a flip-type vacuum cleaner to solve the above problems. The flip-type vacuum cleaner can help improve the vacuuming effect, ensure the quality and safety of the battery, and reduce the complexity of the equipment, reduce costs and maintenance difficulties.

[0031] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the flipping vacuum cleaner of this embodiment includes a vacuuming mechanism and a clamping mechanism. The vacuuming mechanism's suction port 121 is connected to a negative pressure mechanism (not shown in the figure). The clamping mechanism includes a flipping drive 21, which is used to flip the object to be vacuumed by a preset angle so that different positions of the object face the suction port 121.

[0032] This tumbling vacuum cleaner uses a tumbling drive component 21 to rotate the part to be vacuumed, allowing the vacuuming mechanism to vacuum different positions on the part. With the suction force of the suction port 121 remaining constant, the distance between some metal dust or particles and the suction port 121 is shortened, making them easier to remove. Therefore, this tumbling vacuum cleaner helps improve vacuuming efficiency, prevents dust or particle residue, and ensures battery quality and safety. Furthermore, this tumbling vacuum cleaner does not require multiple vacuuming mechanisms; by simply rotating the part to be vacuumed, different positions on the part can be vacuumed. The equipment has low complexity, reducing costs and maintenance difficulty.

[0033] Optionally, the clamping mechanism also includes a turntable 3, which can rotate along its own central axis. The turntable 3 is provided with N sets of clamping components 2 at intervals along the circumference. Each set of clamping components 2 includes a flipping drive 21, and each flipping drive 21 can drive a piece to be vacuumed to flip. N is a positive integer.

[0034] In this embodiment, N is 4, and the four clamping components 2 can be arranged at 90-degree intervals. Of course, in other embodiments, N can also be 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 or other larger positive integers, which are not limited here.

[0035] Optionally, each clamping assembly 2 further includes a gripper group 22, which is used to clamp or release the object to be vacuumed. In this embodiment, the object to be vacuumed is a cylindrical battery 800. The gripper group 22 clamps the side wall of the cylindrical battery 800. The gripper group 22 includes two opposing grippers, and the opposing wall surfaces of the two grippers are curved to fit the side wall of the cylindrical battery 800, increase the contact area, and also prevent damage to the shape of the casing when clamping the cylindrical battery 800.

[0036] Optionally, each clamping assembly 2 further includes a clamping drive 23, which is connected to the output end of the flipping drive 21. The gripper assembly 22 is connected to the output end of the clamping drive 23. The clamping drive 23 is used to drive the gripper assembly 22 to clamp or release the part to be vacuumed. The flipping drive 21 can drive the clamping drive 23, the gripper assembly 22, and the part to be vacuumed to flip synchronously. Optionally, the flipping drive 21 is a rotary cylinder, and the clamping drive 23 is a clamping cylinder.

[0037] Optionally, the gripper group 22, gripping drive member 23 and flipping drive member 21 of each clamping assembly 2 are arranged sequentially along the radial direction of the turntable 3, and the gripper group 22 is located on the outermost side. The gripper group 22 protrudes along the radial direction of the turntable 3 to facilitate the gripper group 22 to clamp the cylindrical battery 800.

[0038] Optionally, the clamping mechanism also includes a rotation drive 4. The rotating shaft of the turntable 3 is connected to the output end of the rotation drive 4. The rotation drive 4 can drive the turntable 3 to rotate, thereby moving the clamping assembly 2 to different positions. The clamping assembly 2 located at the clamping station can clamp the cylindrical battery 800, and the clamping assembly 2 located at the vacuuming station can rotate the cylindrical battery 800. Other stations can be used for other processes or as stations to transfer the cylindrical battery 800 to downstream applications.

[0039] Optionally, the vacuuming mechanism includes a vacuum pipe 1, one end of which is a vacuum port 121, and the other end is connected to a negative pressure mechanism.

[0040] Optionally, the clamping mechanism can move the part to be vacuumed to the vacuuming position. The vacuuming mechanism also includes a moving drive 5. The vacuuming pipe 1 is connected to the output end of the moving drive 5. The moving drive 5 can move the vacuuming pipe 1 so that the vacuuming port 121 moves closer to or away from the vacuuming position. Optionally, the moving drive 5 is a moving cylinder.

[0041] To facilitate vacuuming, the suction port 121 of the vacuum tube 1 is located below the vacuuming position. Dust or particles on the cylindrical battery 800 will fall into the suction port 121 below under the combined action of gravity and suction. Optionally, the moving drive 5 can drive the vacuum tube 1 to move, so that the suction port 121 moves in the vertical direction.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, optionally, the suction pipe 1 includes a horizontal section 11 and a vertical section 12 that are connected to each other. The horizontal section 11 extends horizontally, and the vertical section 12 extends vertically. One end of the vertical section 12 is closed and connected to the output end of the moving drive component 5. The other end of the vertical section 12 is a suction port 121. A through hole is provided on the side wall of the vertical section 12, and one end of the horizontal section 11 is connected to the through hole. Optionally, the other end of the horizontal section 11 is connected to a bendable telescopic section, so that the shape of the suction pipe 1 can be adjusted when the vertical section 12 moves up and down with the moving drive component 5, and it is always stably connected to the negative pressure mechanism.

[0043] Optionally, with a preset angle of 180 degrees, the flip drive 21 can flip the cylindrical battery 800 so that both ends of the cylindrical battery 800 along its own axis can face the suction port 121.

[0044] In this embodiment, the working steps of the flipping vacuum cleaner include:

[0045] After the cylindrical battery 800 is welded, the lifting module delivers it to the clamping station. The clamping drive 23 controls the gripper assembly 22 to clamp the cylindrical battery 800, and the lifting module resets. The turntable 3 rotates, and the cylindrical battery 800 reaches the dust collection position. The moving drive 5 moves the suction pipe 1 upward to collect dust from one end of the cylindrical battery 800. The moving drive 5 moves the suction pipe 1 downward, and the flipping drive 21 rotates the cylindrical battery 800 180 degrees. The moving drive 5 then moves the suction pipe 1 upward again to collect dust from the other end of the cylindrical battery 800. The suction port 121 uses negative pressure technology to suck in metal dust and particles from the cylindrical battery 800, ensuring that metal dust and particles are captured in time and do not remain inside the cylindrical battery 800. After dust collection, the turntable 3 rotates, and the cylindrical battery 800 reaches the downstream station. Depending on the needs of subsequent processes, it is decided whether to flip it back. As turntable 3 rotates, cylindrical battery 800 reaches the delivery station. Clamping drive unit 23 controls gripper assembly 22 to release cylindrical battery 800, which is then placed onto conveyor turntable 3. After the vacuum cleaner completes its operation, it returns to its initial state.

[0046] It should be noted that the vacuum cleaner in this embodiment is a cylindrical battery 800, but in other embodiments, it may be a battery of other forms.

[0047] This tumbler vacuum cleaner efficiently removes dust, continuously cleaning the battery to effectively reduce dust residue, improve battery quality and safety, and extend battery life. Furthermore, its simple structure makes it easy to operate and maintain.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
