[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0030] The space above the electrode assembly inside a lead-acid battery is an atmosphere with high oxygen and acid mist concentrations. Towards the end of charging, the water inside the battery undergoes electrolysis, producing oxygen and hydrogen, further increasing the oxygen concentration within the battery. The busbars and terminals are made of lead alloy, which oxidizes upon contact with oxygen, forming lead dioxide on their surface. The battery also contains a large amount of sulfuric acid, and the upper space contains significant amounts of acid mist. This acid mist reacts with the lead dioxide on the busbars and terminals to form lead sulfate. The lead sulfate that detaches from the busbars and terminals exposes the lead alloy inside, leading to further oxidation and corrosion. Therefore, as the battery is used, the busbars and terminals continuously shrink due to oxidation and corrosion, gradually reducing their current carrying capacity and accelerating battery failure.
[0031] The specific steps for manufacturing tubular long-life batteries are as follows:
[0032] S1: Grouping, the negative plate, separator and positive plate are grouped in the correct order and quantity to form a group of groups, and the separator is PVC or PE.
[0033] The plate wrapping process is carried out in the plate wrapping machine. Due to factors such as vibration, a small amount of lead dust and waste dry lead paste may be generated during the plate wrapping process. A sealing cover can be designed outside the lead dust part of the plate wrapping machine to make it in a negative pressure state.
[0034] S2: Group welding, the grouped plate and separator body or the specified number of single plate are welded to the corresponding pole in the pole direction to form a bus bar. After the group welding, the positive group and the negative group can be formed.
[0035] S3: Using a plastic dipping device to dip plastic, the battery pole group after welding is immersed in the corrosion-resistant liquid, and the bus bar and the pole terminal are completely immersed. The corrosion-resistant liquid is composed of polyurethane, which is composed of two components, main agent and curing agent. The ratio of main agent to curing agent is 3:0.8-1.
[0036] By adjusting the ratio of curing agent, the service life of corrosion-resistant agent, i.e. curing time, can be adjusted.
[0037] S4: Hardening, the pole group wrapped with corrosion-resistant liquid is placed in a 50 degree Celsius oven for 30 minutes.
[0038] In some specific embodiments, the preparation of the corrosion-resistant liquid can also use melted plastic, such as PP in a molten state, and the hardening of the plastic corrosion-resistant layer can use natural cooling or air cooling.
[0039] S5: Into the slot, the battery pole group is loaded into the battery slot.
[0040] S6: Welding, the lead-acid battery is welded through the wall to connect each unit battery into a battery pack.
[0041] S7: Heat sealing, the battery slot and the bottom of the slot cover are heated to 200-220°C by an electric heating plate, so that the battery slot and the bottom of the slot cover are in a molten state, and then the slot cover is pressed together to make it stick together as a whole.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 , embodiment one
[0045] The blocking head 160 is conical with the upper part being wide and the lower part being narrow, and the bottom surface diameter of the blocking head 160 is larger than the diameter of the threaded hole of the pole terminal. The blocking head 160 is made of rubber.
[0046] In the specific operation, the A and B components of the polyurethane are mixed with distilled water to form a corrosion-resistant liquid, the corrosion-resistant liquid is poured into the container cavity 120, the battery pole group is inverted, the pole is at the bottom, and the threaded hole is aligned with the blocking head 160. Continue to move the pole group downward, at this time the movable rod 150 and the blocking head 160 move downward with the pole group, the movable rod 150 and the inserting rod 130 slide relative to each other, and the spring 140 is extruded and deformed. When the pole group enters the container cavity 120, and the bus bar and the pole are completely immersed in the corrosion-resistant liquid, the plastic dipping is started. After the plastic dipping is completed, the pole group is moved upward and taken out. At this time, the movable rod 150 and the blocking head 160 are reset by the elastic action of the spring 140, so as to provide subsequent plastic dipping for the pole group.

The blocking head 160 rotates and enters the threaded hole of the pole to form a blocking to the threaded hole.
