Description

Conveyor line for cleaning dirt on the battery surface Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of battery production, in particular to a conveying line for cleaning dirt on the surface of batteries. Background Art

[0002] During the lead-acid battery formation process, circulating water is used to control the temperature of the battery. Because this circulating water is mostly used internally, impurities carried by overflowing electrolyte during production can contaminate the circulating water. This results in dirty battery sides after the circulating water is discharged, causing the battery to be unqualified and requiring rework, impacting production efficiency. Currently, this dirty side is often manually cleaned after formation, resulting in a significant waste of manpower.

[0003] Conventional technology also employs fixed wiping strips on both sides of the battery conveyor line to wipe both sides of the battery. However, because each line produces a large number of battery models, and the sizes of different battery models vary, the position of the wiping strips on both sides must be frequently adjusted to ensure that the strips can contact the sides of the batteries as the different battery models pass through. Frequent adjustment of the wiping strips also affects production efficiency. Furthermore, the strips often fail to contact the sides of the batteries, resulting in incomplete wiping and a low cleaning rate.

[0004] Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a conveyor line for cleaning dirt on the surface of batteries. A cleaning mechanism is arranged on the conveyor line body. When the battery passes between the two cleaning plates, it is equivalent to the battery spreading the cleaning plates on both sides. The elastic member drives the cleaning plates on both sides to press against the two side surfaces of the battery, thereby adapting to the cleaning of dirt on the surfaces of batteries of different sizes, and the spacing between the cleaning plates on both sides does not need to be manually adjusted. This solves the problem that the existing method of wiping both sides of the battery conveyor line by fixing wiping strips on both sides needs to frequently adjust the position of the wiping strips, which affects production efficiency and has a low cleaning rate.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

The cleaning mechanism comprises cleaning plates symmetrically mounted on the surface of the body, a plurality of mounting assemblies for securing the cleaning plates, and a plurality of elastic members for driving the cleaning plates on either side toward each other. When a battery passes between the cleaning plates, the elastic members drive the cleaning plates against the sides of the battery. A rag for cleaning dirt from the battery surface is attached to the inner side of the cleaning plates.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the mounting assembly includes a fixed shaft and a hinged rod, one end of the fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor line body, the fixed shaft is arranged perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor line body, one end of the hinged rod is rotatably matched with the circumferential side of the fixed shaft, and the other end of the hinged rod is hinged to the outer side of the cleaning plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, several support rods are symmetrically fixed on the outer side surfaces of the cleaning plates on both sides, and the two ends of the elastic member are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the support rods on both sides respectively; the distance between the elastic member and the upper surface of the conveyor line body is greater than the height of the battery, which facilitates the battery to pass from under the elastic member.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the elastic member is a tension spring.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, both ends of the cleaning plate are fixedly connected with guide plates, and the inner side of the guide plate is also attached with a wiping cloth.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, two groups of mounting components are used, and the two groups of mounting components are respectively arranged at the two ends of the cleaning plate.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a limiting plate is fixed to the circumference of the fixed shaft, and the lower surface of the hinged rod abuts against the upper surface of the limiting plate.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The utility model provides a cleaning mechanism on the conveyor line body, which includes cleaning plates symmetrically mounted on the surface of the line body, a plurality of mounting components for fixing the cleaning plates, and a plurality of elastic members for driving the cleaning plates on both sides to approach each other. When the battery passes between the two cleaning plates, the plurality of elastic members drive the two cleaning plates to press against the two side surfaces of the battery, thereby adapting to cleaning dirt on the surfaces of batteries of different sizes, and requiring no manual adjustment, and being easy to use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inside", "around" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Please refer to FIG1 , this embodiment provides a conveyor line for cleaning dirt on the surface of batteries, including a conveyor line body 100 and a cleaning mechanism 200 installed on the conveyor line body 100 to adapt to cleaning the sides of batteries of different sizes.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1-5 , the cleaning mechanism 200 comprises a cleaning plate 1 symmetrically mounted on the surface of the conveyor 100, two mounting assemblies for securing the cleaning plate 1, and a tension spring 5. The two mounting assemblies are located at either end of the cleaning plate and comprise a fixed shaft 2 and a hinged rod 3. The lower end of the fixed shaft 2 is bolted to the side of the conveyor 100, and the fixed shaft 2 is positioned perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor 100. One end of the hinged rod 3 rotates around the circumference of the fixed shaft 2, while the other end of the hinged rod 3 is hingedly connected to the outer surface of the cleaning plate 1. A stopper 201 is secured to the circumference of the fixed shaft 2. The lower surface of the hinged rod 3 abuts the upper surface of the stopper 201, preventing the hinged rod 3 from sliding down along the fixed shaft 2 and causing the cleaning plate 1 to rub against the surface of the conveyor 100. Guide plates 101 are fixedly attached to both ends of the cleaning plate 1. A rag 6 for cleaning battery surface dirt is attached to the inner surfaces of the cleaning plate 1 and the guide plates 101 with cable ties.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 2 , support rods 4 are symmetrically fixed to the outer sides of the two cleaning plates 1. The ends of a tension spring 5 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the support rods 4 on both sides, respectively, to drive the cleaning plates 1 toward each other. The distance between the elastic member and the upper surface of the conveyor line 100 is greater than the height of the batteries, allowing the batteries to pass under the tension spring 5.

[0031] When a battery is conveyed along conveyor line 100 and has not yet reached cleaning mechanism 200, the cleaning mechanism 200 is in the state shown in Figure 1. Tension spring 5 pulls the two cleaning plates 1 toward each other, and the hinged rods 3 on both sides are essentially parallel, that is, the distance between the two cleaning plates 1 is minimized. When the battery reaches cleaning mechanism 200, the cleaning mechanism 200 is in the state shown in Figures 3 and 5. The battery is guided by guide plate 101 and placed between the two cleaning plates 1. Due to friction and the width of the battery, the hinged rod 3 rotates in the direction of battery conveyance, and the two cleaning plates 1 move away from each other, leaving a distance just wide enough for the battery to pass. Simultaneously, the tension spring 5 between the two cleaning plates 1 forces them to press against the sides of the battery, effectively pressing a rag 6 against the sides. During the battery conveyance process, the battery and the rag 6 slide relative to each other, thereby wiping the sides of the battery clean. After the battery passes, the tension of the tension spring 5 automatically returns the cleaning mechanism 200 to the state shown in Figure 1. The structure is suitable for cleaning dirt on the surface of batteries of different sizes, does not require manual adjustment, and is easy to use.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Please refer to Figure 6. Multiple support rods 4 are symmetrically fixed to the outer sides of the two cleaning plates 1. Preferably, three support rods 4 are used. The three support rods 4 are respectively fixed at the front, middle and rear sections of the cleaning plates 1. Three tension springs 5 ​​are used to match them, so that the force on the cleaning plates 1 is more uniform.
