[0027] The present disclosure provides an automatic cleaning iron removal equipment.

[0028] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the automatic cleaning iron removal equipment including a frame 10, an iron removal cylinder 20, an iron removal mechanism, a cleaning mechanism 40 and a collecting piece 80.

[0029] The frame 10 is provided with an iron removing station 13 and a cleaning station 12 adjacent to the iron removing station 13. The iron removal cylinder 20 is provided at the iron removal station 13, the iron removal cylinder 20 is communicated with a slurry flow channel, and battery slurry flows in the slurry channel, and the iron removal port 21 is provided on a top of the iron removal cylinder 20.

[0030] The iron removal mechanism includes a cover piece 30 and a magnetic rod 32 connected to the cover piece 30 and extending toward the iron removal port 21, and the iron removal mechanism can be movably provided at the iron removal station 13 to have a first position and a second position. The magnetic rod 32 is inserted in the iron removal cylinder 20 at the first position, the cover piece 30 covers the iron removal port 21, the iron removal mechanism is provided above the iron removal cylinder 20 at the second position.

[0031] The cleaning mechanism 40 is provided at the cleaning station 12, the cleaning mechanism 40 includes a wiper 41 and a driving assembly. When the iron removal mechanism is at the second position, the driving assembly drives the wiper 41 to clamp an outer periphery of the magnetic rod 32, and drives the wiper 41 to move along an extending direction of the magnetic rod 32 to clean an impurity on the magnetic rod 32.

[0032] The collecting piece 80 is movably provided at the cleaning station 12, and when the iron removal mechanism is at the second position, the collecting piece 80 moves below the magnetic rod 32 to collect the impurities.

[0033] In technical solutions of the present disclosure, firstly a magnetic rod 32 of the iron removal mechanism is used to adsorb the impurities of the battery slurry in the iron removal cylinder 20, and then moves the iron removal mechanism from the first position to the second position, the collecting piece 80 moves below the magnetic rod 32, the driving assembly in the cleaning mechanism 40 drives the wiper 41 to clamp the outer periphery of the magnetic rod 32, and drives the magnetic rod 32 to slide along the extension direction of the magnetic rod 32, thereby cleaning the impurities adsorbed on the magnetic rod 32 into the collecting piece 80, and finally transfers the impurities collected by the collecting piece 80, so as to automatically clean the impurities in the battery slurry. Compared with cleaning the impurities adsorbed on the magnetic rod 32 manually, the wiper 41 can better adapt to the conversion efficiency of the iron removal mechanism between the first position and the second position, and user's hand can avoid being clamped by the magnetic rod or corroded by the slurry.

[0034] The automatic cleaning iron removal equipment includes a plurality of iron removal cylinders 20, and the plurality of iron removal cylinders 20 can be provided in series or in parallel, and the iron removal cylinders 20 are respectively communicated with a feeding port and the discharging port on the frame 10 to form a slurry flow channel. After being adsorbed by the magnetic rod 32, the impurities in the battery slurry entering through the feeding port, especially the content of magnetic impurities will be reduced to a range that meets the standard. When the plurality of iron removal cylinders 20 are provided in series, a plurality of magnetic rods 32 are distributed from upstream to downstream along the slurry flow channel. After the upstream magnetic rods 32 adsorb some impurities, the downstream magnetic rods 32 will further adsorb the impurities, which can ensure that the magnetic impurities in the battery slurry are cleaned to an appropriate range. In addition, the collecting piece 80 can place a storage bag in its accommodating space, after the impurities are collected each time, the storage bag can be replaced, or the collecting piece 80 is provided with an external discharging and cleaning structure, the impurities are discharged through the external discharging structure, and then the cleaning structure cleans the collecting piece 80 to avoid residues of impurities.

[0035] It should be noted that the contact surface between the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32 can be a fixed cleaning layer on the wiper 41, the wiper 41 is driven to a wiping area by the driving assembly after completing a cleaning, then a head portion of the wiper 41 is wiped, or a cleaning block is provided between the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32, after the wiper 41 cleans the magnetic rod 32 each time, the cleaning block and impurities fall into the collecting piece 80. In addition, the impurities in this embodiment are mainly magnetic impurities, such as ferromagnetic materials, which are specifically subject to the material that can be adsorbed by a magnetic rod 32.

[0036] Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the driving assembly includes a first driving piece 45, and the first driving piece 45 drives the wiper 41 to move so that the wiper 41 has an open state and a grasping state, the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32 can move relative to each other in the open state, and the wiper 41 clamps the outer periphery of the magnetic rod 32 in the grasping state. It can be understood that when the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32 move relatively, the wiper 41 is in the open state to avoid damaging the magnetic rod 32, and when the wiper 41 approaches the magnetic rod 32, the first driving piece 45 switches the wiper 41 from the open state to the grasping state, thereby clamping the outer periphery of the magnetic rod 32 to complete a following cleaning process. In this way, a wiper 41 can be switched in different magnetic rod 32, and can match the magnetic rod 32 with different diameters, which reduces the manufacturing cost. In other embodiments, the wiper 41 can be a cleaning block clamping the magnetic rod 32 along the outer periphery of the magnetic rod 32 on the cover piece 30, when the iron removal mechanism is at the second position, the first driving piece 45 is close to the wiper 41, and drive the wiper 41 along the extending direction of the magnetic rod 32 to remove impurities on the magnetic rod 32.

[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the wiper 41 includes a gripping portion 411, a telescoping portion 412 and a pushing portion 413, and the gripping portion 411 includes a first claw 4111 and a second claw 4112 rotatably connected around a first rotation point 414. The telescoping portion 412 includes a first arm 4121 and a second arm 4122 that are rotatably connected around a second rotation point 415, the first claw 4111 is rotatably connected with the first arm 4121 and the second claw 4112 is rotatably connected with the second arm 4122 between the first rotation point 414 and the second rotation point 415, on a side of the first rotation point 414 away from the second rotation point 415, the first claw 4111 and the second claw 4112 are used to clamp and loosen the magnetic rod 32, and the pushing portion 413 is connected to the second rotation point 415. The first driving piece drives the pushing portion 413 to move so that the position of the second rotation point 415 can be moved in the distribution direction of the gripping portion 411, the telescoping portion 412 and the pushing portion 413. It should be noted that the second rotation point 415 remains stable relative to the telescoping portion 412 and the pushing portion 413, the first rotation point 414 remains stable relative to the gripping portion 411, and the telescoping portion 412 and the pushing portion 413 are movable relative to the first rotation point 414.

[0038] In this way, when the first driving piece 45 drives the pushing portion 413 to move away from the gripping portion 411, the position of the second rotation point 415 also moves in a direction away from the gripping portion 411. At the moment, the first arm 4121 and the second arm 4122 move closer to each other around the second rotation point 415, and drive the first claw 4111 and the second claw 4112 to move towards one end of the second rotation point 415 from the first rotation point 414 so that the first claw 4111 and the second claw 4112 move away each other around the first rotation point 414 from the end of the first rotation point 414 away from the second rotation point 415, thereby the wiper 41 is in an open state. Similarly, when the first driving piece 45 drives the pushing portion 413 to move toward the gripping portion 411, the position of the second rotation point 415 also moves towards the pushing portion 413, at the moment, the first arm 4121 and the second arm 4122 move away from each other around the second rotation point 415, and drive the first claw 4111 and the second claw 4112 to move away from each other from the first rotation point 414 to the end of the second rotation point 415 so that the first claw 4111 and the second claw 4112 move towards each other from the end of the first rotation point 414 away from the second rotation point 415 around the first rotation point 414, thereby the wiper 41 is in the grasping state. To sum up, in this embodiment, the first claw 4111 and the second claw 4112 have an opposite moving state on both sides of the first rotation point 414. In other embodiments, the moving state of the first claw 4111 and the second claw 4112 on both sides of the first rotation point 414 are the same.

[0039] Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the driving assembly further includes a second driving piece 46, the cleaning mechanism 40 also includes a support portion 42, the second driving piece 46 is provided on the support portion 42, and drives the wiper 41 reciprocates toward the magnetic rod 32 so that the outer periphery of the magnetic rod 32 is clamped by the wiper 41. It can be understood that when the iron removal mechanism is at the second position and when the wiper 41 is in the open state, the second driving piece 46 drives the wiper 41 to approach the magnetic rod 32 and clamp the magnetic rod 32 to complete a process of cleaning the magnetic rod 32, in this way, the wiper 41 can be prevented from interfering with the iron removal mechanism moving between the first position and the second position, thereby effectively completing the cleaning process on the magnetic rod 32.

[0040] When the wiper 41 clamps the magnetic rod 32, the wiper 41 needs to change from being separated from magnetic rod 32 to being attached to the magnetic rod 32. In this way, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the cleaning mechanism 40 further includes a buffer assembly 43, the first driving piece 45 and the wiper 41 are movably connected to the support portion 42 through the buffer assembly 43, the second driving piece 46 drives the buffer assembly 43 to reciprocate toward the magnetic rod 32, and the buffer assembly 43 includes a first buffer piece 431 and a second buffer piece 432 whose moving directions intersect, and a moving direction of the first buffer piece 431 is parallel to a driving direction of the second driving piece 46. It should be noted that when the second driving piece 46 drives the wiper 41 to approach the magnetic rod 32, the position of the magnetic rod 32 will inevitably deviate from the wiper 41, at the moment, the first buffer piece 431 and the second buffer piece 432 respectively realizes the buffering effect on the moving direction of the wiper 41 and the direction intersecting with the moving direction of the wiper 41, which can avoid the hard contact between the magnetic rod 32 and the wiper 41, causing damage to the magnetic rod 32 or the wiper 41. In addition, when the buffer assembly 43 buffers the wiper 41, both the wiper 41 and the first driving piece 45 move with the buffer assembly 43. In other embodiments, a buffer pad can be added on the abutting surface of the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32 to achieve a buffering effect between the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32 and to achieve a soft contact.

[0041] During the operation of the automatic cleaning iron removal equipment, the wiper 41 is easily attached to the slurry, so the wiper 41 needs to be regularly maintained or replaced. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the cleaning mechanism 40 further includes a mounting piece 44, the wiper 41 further includes a fixing portion 416, the mounting piece 44 is provided on a side of the buffer assembly 43 away from the support portion 42, the first driving portion 45 is provided on the mounting piece 44, the mounting piece 44 includes a limiting portion 441 and a moving portion 442, the moving portion 442 can drive the limiting portion 441 to move, and the fixing portion 416 corresponding to the limiting portion 441 is provided with a limiting bayonet 4161, and the limiting portion 441 is clamped to the limiting bayonet 4161. Driven by the moving portion 442, the limiting portion 441 is loosened from the limiting bayonet 4161, and the wiper 41 and the mounting piece 44 can move relative to each other, when the moving portion 442 is loosed, the limiting portion 441 returns to a locking connection with the limiting bayonet 4161 to fix the wiper 41 on the mounting piece 44 and simplify a disassembly of the wiper 41, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the wiper 41. Specifically, the moving portion 442 has elastic recovery capability, such as a spring. In other embodiments, the wiper 41 may be fixed on the mounting piece 44 by screwing and locking, so as to realize a detachable connection.

[0042] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the automatic cleaning iron removal equipment further includes a feeding mechanism 50 provided at the cleaning station 12, when the iron removal mechanism is at the second position, the feeding mechanism 50 is used to provide the cleaning film 60, and the wiper 41 grabs the cleaning film 60 to clean the magnetic impurities on the magnetic rod 32. It can be understood that when the wiper 41 clamps the magnetic rod 32, the cleaning film 60 is located between the magnetic rod 32 and the wiper 41. In this way, the wiper 41 cleans the magnetic rod 32 through the cleaning film 60, which can prevent the wiper 41 from directly contacting the magnetic rod 32 so that the effective life of the wiper 41 is prolonged, and the cleaning film 60 directly wipes the magnetic rod 32 relative to the wiper 41 to achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0043] Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the feeding mechanism 50 includes a fixing shaft 51 and a conveying assembly 53, the fixing shaft 51 is sleeved by a cleaning film roll, and the cleaning film rolls are used to provide a cleaning film 60, the conveying assembly 53 can drive the cleaning film 60 to move between the magnetic rod 32 and the wiper 41, and the conveying assembly 53 is located above the wiper 41 so that the cleaning film 60 can be gripped by the wiper 41. It should be noted that the cleaning film roll can be rotated on the fixing shaft 51, and the cleaning film 60 on the cleaning film roll can be provided in sections or continuously. When the cleaning film 60 on the cleaning film roll is continuous, the cleaning film 60 can be cut off when the conveying assembly 53 clamps the cleaning film 60. In this way, when the conveying assembly 53 drives the cleaning film 60 of suitable size from the cleaning film roll to the top of the wiper 41, the iron removal mechanism is at the second position, the cleaning film 60 hangs down naturally on the upper end of the conveying assembly 53, and between the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32, then, the second driving piece 46 drives the wiper 41 to abut the cleaning film 60 on the magnetic rod 32, and the first driving piece 45 drives the wiper 41 to clamp the cleaning film 60 on the outer periphery of the magnetic rod 32, thereby cleaning the impurities on the magnetic rod 32. In other embodiments, a plurality of cleaning films 60 can be stacked on the feeding mechanism 50, and the conveying mechanism clamps one cleaning film 60 to the end of the wiper 41 each time for the wiper 41 to grasp.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the conveying assembly 53 includes a first clamping plate 531, a second clamping plate 532, and a third driving piece 533, the first clamping plate 531 and the second clamping plate 532 are distributed on an opposite side of the cleaning film 60 respectively, the third driving piece 533 can drive the first clamping plate 531 and the second clamping plate 532 to move towards and away from each other, so as to clamp and loosen the cleaning film 60. In this way, after the conveying assembly 53 completes the delivery of the cleaning film 60 once, the first clamping plate 531 and the second clamping plate 532 are distributed separately so that the new cleaning film 60 is again between the first clamping plate 531 and the second clamping plate 532, the third driving piece 533 drives the first clamping plate 531 and the second clamping plate 532 to move towards each other, so as to clamp the new cleaning film 60 and drive it between the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32. After the cleaning the film 60 is clamped by the wiper 41, the first clamping plate 531 and the second clamping plate 532 move opposite to each other to loosen the cleaning film 60, so as to realize the continuous supply of the cleaning film 60 to meet the cleaning requirements of the wiper 41 and match the automatic production efficiency. In other embodiments, an adhesive may further be provided on the conveying assembly 53 to drive the cleaning film 60 to move in an adhesive manner.

[0045] For the movement of the conveying assembly 53 between the wiper 41 and the cleaning film roll, in this embodiment, the conveying assembly 53 further includes a seventh driving piece 534, the seventh driving piece 534 drives the first clamping plate 531 and the second clamping plate 532 to move between the cleaning film roll and the wiper 41 to constantly supplies the wiper 41 with new cleaning film 60.

[0046] Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the feeding mechanism 50 is further provided with a third sensor 535, the third sensor 535 detects the position of the conveying assembly 53 so that the conveying assembly 53 can be controlled by the control assembly to deliver the cleaning film 60 between the wiper 41 and the magnetic rod 32.
