Battery Module Cleaning via Quick-Swap Target Tool Handling
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cleaning methods for battery modules in production lines require suspending the production line, which is inconvenient and affects normal production, leading to reduced efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A cleaning system comprising a control device, a quick swap platform, and a clamping jaw device that allows for the determination and grabbing of a target tool for cleaning instead of the battery module, enabling cleaning outside the production line.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the production line is suspended to clean the battery module using a cleaning apparatus, then the cleaning can be performed, but normal production is affected and efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by introducing a target tool that can be cleaned in advance outside the production line. The control device determines whether a target tool exists on the quick swap platform, and if so, controls the clamping jaw device to grab and clean the target tool before it is needed for production, thereby preparing cleaning capacity ahead of time without interrupting production flow
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses a target tool as an intermediary object between the cleaning apparatus and the battery module. Instead of cleaning the battery module directly on the production line, the system cleans a separate target tool that can serve as a substitute or preparatory element, allowing cleaning operations to occur outside the critical production path while still achieving the desired cleaning objective
2Measurement precision
If the production line is suspended for cleaning verification, then cleaning effect can be verified, but operation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies copying by using a target tool that replicates or represents the battery module for cleaning purposes. The target tool serves as a copy or surrogate that can be cleaned and verified outside the production line, allowing cleaning effect verification to be performed on a duplicate object rather than the actual production component, thereby maintaining operational convenience
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This solution improves operation convenience and production efficiency by allowing cleaning to be performed outside the production line, without affecting normal production processes.

AI summary
Disclosed is a cleaning method and system. The cleaning system comprises a control device, a quick swap platform, and a clamping jaw device. The control device of the cleaning system determines whether there is a target tool on the quick swap platform according to target first-article information when receiving the target first-article information, wherein the target first-article information represents blueprint information of a first-article battery module; and the target tool is a tool configured to be cleaned instead of the first-article battery module. The control device controls, when it is determined that there is the target tool on the quick swap platform, the clamping jaw device to grab the target tool for cleaning, which can effectively improve operation convenience without affecting normal production and improve production efficiency.
