mold

Abstract

A mould for moulding post and strap in a cast on strap machine includes a mould body having an upper surface, a cavity in the upper surface for moulding a strap and an opening aligned with the cavity for receiving a water-coolable insert for moulding a post. The opening extends through the mould with its mouth in the upper surface to enable the insert to be inserted into the opening through the mouth. The mould body further includes a removable plate for being received in the mouth to retain releasably the insert in the opening and for defining the cavity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to molds, and in particular to molds suitable for casting on a strip machine. Background technique [0002] In the production of many types of batteries, multiple groups of battery plates are connected to each other by molded straps, and there are usually straps and molded terminal members (postformation) at both ends to achieve contact with the battery plates. external connections. The most common way of molding the straps and terminals is with a cast-on-strap machine where an assembled batch of plates is joined to its lugs ( lugs) into the cavity forming the desired strip. [0003] The construction of the terminal / strip combination requires a large amount of lead and therefore takes a long time to cool, potentially extending the duty cycle. It is therefore necessary to provide an additional localized cooling, and figure 1 with figure 2 The current arrangement is shown. In the drawings, the mold, generally indicate...
