The support 56 may be located on the side of the cleaning member 521 adjacent to the drive gear 512 or on the side of the cleaning member 521 remote from the drive gear 512. The size of the gap between the supporting member 56 and the cleaning member 521 may be determined according to circumstances in practical use, and is not particularly limited herein.

In the above-mentioned scheme, when the driving gear 512 is meshed with the first rack 524 and drives the cleaning member 521 to rotate, the cleaning member 521 will contact with the supporting member 56 during the rotation, at this time, the supporting member 56 may be used as a pivot point for the rotation of the cleaning member 521, so that the cleaning member 521 may rotate around the supporting member 56, and thus the cleaning member 521 may be supported by the supporting member 56, so as to improve the stability of the rotation of the cleaning member 521. When the driving gear 512 is engaged with the second rack 55 and drives the cleaning member 521 to move along the first direction X, since there is a gap between the supporting member 56 and the cleaning member 521, the supporting member 56 and the cleaning member 521 will not contact and rub, so that the supporting member 56 can be prevented from affecting the movement of the cleaning member 521 along the first direction X.

Fig. 9 is an enlarged view A-A of fig. 8.

As shown in fig. 9, in some embodiments, the support 56 includes a fixed shaft 561 and a rotating wheel 562 sleeved on the fixed shaft 561, with a gap between the rotating wheel 562 and the cleaning element 521.

The fixed shaft 561 is fixed with respect to the cleaning member 521, and can support the cleaning member 521. The rotating wheel 562 can rotate relative to the fixed shaft 561, so that when the rotating wheel 562 contacts the cleaning member 521, it can rotate together with the cleaning member 521, and friction between the rotating wheel 562 and the cleaning member 521 is rolling friction, and friction force is small, so that the rotation of the cleaning member 521 is not affected.

In the above-described scheme, since the rotating wheel 562 can rotate relative to the fixed shaft 561, when the cleaning member 521 rotates to be in contact with the rotating wheel 562, the rotating wheel 562 can rotate together with the cleaning member 521, thereby preventing the supporting member 56 from affecting the rotation of the cleaning member 521.

With continued reference to fig. 9, in some embodiments, the second rack 55 is recessed toward the cleaning member 521 to form a groove 551, and the driving gear 512 is engaged with the bottom of the groove 551; the rotating wheel 562 is embedded in the groove 551 and is in clearance fit with the groove 551.

The groove 551 may be recessed in a direction of the second rack 55 toward the cleaning member 521 near the side of the driving gear 512. The bottom of the groove 551 is formed with a plurality of engaging teeth along the first direction X to engage with the driving gear 512, so that the first rack 524 drives the cleaning member 521 to move along the first direction X, and in this process, the sidewall surface and the wheel surface of the rotating wheel 562 have gaps with the groove 551 respectively, so that friction between the sidewall surface and the first rack 524 is avoided. The width of the groove 551 may be slightly larger than the dimension of the rotating wheel 562 in the axial direction of the fixed shaft 561, so that the rotating wheel 562 may be embedded in the groove 551 with a gap with the groove 551.

In the above scheme, the driving gear 512 is meshed with the bottom of the groove 551, so as to drive the second rack 55 to move along the second direction Y, and further drive the cleaning member 521 to move along the second direction Y. Meanwhile, the rotating wheel 562 is embedded in the groove 551 and is in clearance fit with the groove 551, so that the rotating wheel 562 can be limited by the groove 551, and the rotating wheel 562 is prevented from being offset along the axial direction of the fixed shaft 561, so that the rotating wheel 562 can more stably support the cleaning piece 521 when the cleaning piece 521 rotates.

The connecting portion 527 and the cleaning nozzle 528 are fixed to each other, and the optional connecting portion 527 and the cleaning nozzle 528 may be integrally formed, so that when the transmission member 522 drives the connecting portion 527 to rotate, the connecting portion 527 may further drive the cleaning nozzle 528 to rotate, so as to adjust the angle of the cleaning nozzle 528.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, the cleaning nozzle 528 is bent and extended to a side away from the driving mechanism 51, so that the cleaning nozzle 528 faces the battery 100, so as to clean the battery 100.
