TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of lead-acid battery production, and particularly relates to an external acid injection type lead-acid battery and a finished product preparation process. BACKGROUND
[0002] Lead-acid batteries are divided into exhaust type batteries and maintenance-free lead-acid batteries, and the valve-regulated lead-acid battery is one of the maintenance-free lead-acid batteries. The valve-regulated lead-acid battery has a wide range of applications in the energy, transportation, and machinery industries due to its high safety, high cost performance, and convenient use. However, the production and manufacturing process of the valve-regulated lead-acid battery is relatively complex and has a long cycle, generally requiring 20-30 days. In particular, the internal formation process takes even longer, usually 5-7 days. The length of the internal formation process depends on the electrolyte injection method and the control of the injection temperature. The traditional valve-regulated lead-acid battery uses an integrated acid injection pot to directly pour from the top. This method is prone to electrolyte overflow, causing unnecessary economic losses and even safety accidents.
[0003] Currently, the valve-regulated lead-acid battery uses a separate acid injection pot to add acid from the top through negative pressure quantification to solve the problem of electrolyte overflow. This method involves adding electrolyte to the battery at one time, and after the formation is completed, the excess electrolyte inside the battery needs to be removed. This operation process is relatively complex, and the battery will lose a large amount of water during the formation process. Water loss will increase the density of the electrolyte inside the battery. Since the valve-regulated lead-acid battery uses a tightly assembled AGM separator, the electrolyte has poor flowability without external force, resulting in a large difference in electrolyte density between the upper and lower parts of the battery, which affects the consistency of the valve-regulated lead-acid battery and shortens its service life.
[0004] The present stage has adopted the injection method of injecting glue at the bottom and returning glue at the top of the valve-controlled lead-acid storage battery, such as Chinese Patent No. CN106299235A, published on January 4, 2017, which discloses a lead-acid battery glue injection device and glue injection method. The document proposes "including: glue storage warehouse, glue pump connected with the glue storage warehouse, glue collection tank; the lead-acid battery glue injection device further includes a plurality of glue injection assemblies, a plurality of quantitative glue storage assemblies corresponding to the number of glue injection assemblies; the glue injection assembly includes: a lead-acid battery provided with a glue injection inlet at the lower end or / and the lower part of the side wall, a glue return outlet at the upper end, a glue return pipe with one end detachably connected with the glue return outlet and the other end connected with the glue collection tank, a glue injection tank located above the lead-acid battery and provided with a positive and negative pressure ventilation reversing valve, a glue injection on-off valve arranged at the lower end of the glue injection tank, and a glue injection pipe with one end connected with the glue injection on-off valve outlet and the other end detachably connected with the glue injection inlet." This prior art adds electrolyte to the inside of the lead-acid battery through the glue injection inlet at the lower end or / and the lower part of the side wall, and then extracts the electrolyte through the glue return outlet at the upper end, which can reduce the difference in electrolyte density. However, since there are multiple unit cells inside the battery, this prior art cannot guarantee the uniformity of the electrolyte in each unit cell, which cannot effectively improve the consistency of the battery, resulting in a short service life of the battery. In addition, this prior art is prone to produce acid mist during the formation process, causing environmental pollution. Moreover, due to the large amount of heat generated by electrochemical reaction, internal resistance, etc., water bath or reducing the formation speed or prolonging the formation time is needed to assist in reducing the heat generation, which prolongs the time of the formation process, thereby reducing the production efficiency of the valve-controlled lead-acid storage battery. Therefore, a new technical solution is needed to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-3 and Figure 6The lower part of the negative pressure pipe 7 is provided with a thin pipe 14 for extracting air, dilute sulfuric acid and gel electrolyte inside the battery body 1, the thin pipe 14 penetrates the valve hole 5 and extends to the inside of the battery body 1 and is arranged at a distance from the pole group 1011, the top of the pole group 1011 is at a distance of 0-2mm from the bottom of the thin pipe 14, the upper part of the negative pressure pipe 7 is provided with a negative pressure connecting pipe 15 for connecting the vacuum extraction equipment, the lower part of the negative pressure connecting pipe 15 is connected to the thin pipe 14 in an inclined arc shape through an adapter 16, the upper part of the negative pressure connecting pipe 15 is connected with a negative pressure tank for vacuum extraction (the functions and structures of the negative pressure tank and other conventional equipment are well known in the art, and the connection setting is also common knowledge, so it is not described here, and it is not shown in the drawings).
[0037] After the external acid injection type lead-acid battery is assembled according to the above setting, the battery body 1 needs to be subjected to a formation process to complete the production of finished batteries. Specifically, the operator needs to insert the acid injection nozzle 8 on the acid injection groove 4 on the outside of the battery body 1 with the acid injection pipe 10, then connect the acid injection pipe 10 with the dilute sulfuric acid tank, so that the dilute sulfuric acid in the dilute sulfuric acid tank can enter the cell 101 through the acid injection pipe 10, the acid injection nozzle 8, the acid injection groove 4 and the through hole 3 in turn, at the same time, the valve hole 5 at the top of the battery body 1 is inserted with the negative pressure pipe 7 with the thin pipe 14, then the negative pressure pipe 7 is connected with the negative pressure tank, so that the negative pressure tank can extract air, dilute sulfuric acid and gel electrolyte through the negative pressure pipe 7 and the thin pipe 14 in turn, then the two ends of the battery body 1 are connected with the positive and negative electrodes of the formation equipment through the connecting wires 2, the installation of the acid injection equipment is completed, and the acid injection operation can be performed.
[0038] When the acid injection operation is needed, the dilute sulfuric acid tank is first opened, and the dilute sulfuric acid with a density of 1.2g / ml in the dilute sulfuric acid tank is added to the acid injection groove 4 through the acid injection pipe 10. Since the main components of the active material before formation of the battery body 1 are lead sulfate and lead oxide, a large amount of heat will be released when lead oxide reacts with dilute sulfuric acid, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the battery body 1 and the dilute sulfuric acid. In order to control the temperature of the battery body 1, the temperature of the dilute sulfuric acid is controlled between -5-15℃ at the initial stage of acid injection, then the negative pressure tank is opened, and vacuum negative pressure is started, so that the pressure of the negative pressure is controlled between -0.12-0MPa, thereby ensuring that the temperature of the extracted dilute sulfuric acid is less than 45℃. At the same time, under the action of the negative pressure, the dilute sulfuric acid with a density of 1.2g / ml in the acid injection groove 4 enters the inside of the battery body 1 through the through hole 3 and flows uniformly into the inside of the pole group 1011, until the dilute sulfuric acid with a density of 1.2g / ml replaces the air inside the pole group 1011, and the negative pressure acid injection is completed. Then the battery body 1 is continuously subjected to negative pressure acid injection, and the overflowed dilute sulfuric acid is extracted by the negative pressure pipe 7 through the thin pipe 14, so that the acid circulation lasts for 0.5-1h, and the formation operation can be performed.
[0039] When the formation operation is needed, the formation device is turned on, and the battery body 1 is charged and discharged in nine stages by the connection line 2. The specific charging and discharging is as follows: the first stage uses 0.1C (C is the rated capacity of the battery) current to charge the battery body 1 for 1h, and then goes to the second stage, the second stage uses 0.5C current to charge the battery for 8h, and then goes to the third stage, the third stage uses 1C current to discharge the battery for 0.5h, and then goes to the fourth stage, the fourth stage uses 0.5C current to charge the battery body 1 for 4h, and then goes to the fifth stage, the fifth stage uses 0.25C current to charge the battery body 1 for 4h, and then goes to the sixth stage, the sixth stage uses 1C current to discharge the battery body 1, and stops discharging when the battery body 1 drops to 1.75V / single cell voltage, and records the discharge time, calculates the capacity of the battery body 1, and then goes to the seventh stage, the seventh stage uses 0.5C current to charge the battery body 1 for 2h, and then goes to the eighth stage, the eighth stage uses 0.2C current to charge the battery body 1 for 2h, and then goes to the ninth stage, the ninth stage completes the formation process of the battery body 1. In the formation, the temperature of the dilute sulfuric acid drawn out of the negative pressure pipe 7 needs to be controlled at 35-40℃, and the circulation speed of the dilute acid liquid is adjusted by controlling the pressure of the negative pressure. If the temperature is too high, the vacuum degree is increased to speed up the circulation flow rate of the dilute sulfuric acid. If the temperature is too low, the vacuum degree is reduced to reduce the circulation flow rate of the dilute sulfuric acid. After the formation of the battery body 1 is completed, the formation device is disconnected from the connection line 2, and the glue injection operation can be performed.
[0040] When the injection of gel is needed, the dilute sulfuric acid tank is closed, the addition of dilute sulfuric acid with a density of 1.2 g / ml is stopped, the injection pipe 10 is disconnected from the dilute sulfuric acid tank, the injection pipe 10 is connected to the gel electrolyte tank, the vacuum pressure of -0.12 MPa is continued to be applied to the battery body 1 for 3 min, then the gel electrolyte tank is opened, the gel electrolyte in the gel electrolyte tank with a density of 1.35 g / ml ± 0.005 g / ml, a gel content of 0.5-0.6%, and a temperature of 25 ± 10°C is injected into the injection tank 4 through the injection pipe 10, the negative pressure is adjusted to -0.07 to -0.1 MPa, then the gel electrolyte in the injection tank 4 with a density of 1.35 g / ml ± 0.005 g / ml, a gel content of 0.5-0.6%, and a temperature of 25 ± 10°C is introduced into the battery body 1 through the through hole 3, until the gel electrolyte with a density of 1.35 g / ml ± 0.005 g / ml, a gel content of 0.5-0.6%, and a temperature of 25 ± 10°C is replaced in the battery body 1 (i.e. the density of the gel electrolyte detected at the negative pressure pipe 7 is 1.35 g / ml ± 0.005 g / ml), the gel electrolyte tank is closed, the injection of the gel electrolyte is stopped, and the negative pressure of -0.07 to -0.1 MPa is maintained for 5-10 min, the excess gel electrolyte is drawn out by the negative pressure pipe 7 through the fine pipe 14, the saturation of the gel electrolyte in the AGM separator of the battery body 1 is controlled at 95-98%, the negative pressure injection of the gel is completed, and the injection equipment can be removed.
[0041] When the injection equipment is needed to be removed, the injection pipe 10 and the negative pressure pipe 7 are disconnected from the gel electrolyte tank and the negative pressure tank respectively, the injection pipe 10 and the negative pressure pipe 7 with the fine pipe 14 are pulled out from the injection nozzle 8 and the valve hole 5, the injection nozzle 8 of the injection pipe 10 is inserted with the cap 9, the valve hole 5 of the negative pressure pipe 7 with the fine pipe 14 is covered with the sealing cap 6, the connecting wire 2 is removed from both ends of the battery body 1, and finally the appearance of the battery body 1 is cleaned to obtain the final product battery.
