Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to battery production technology, in particular to a production device for lead-acid batteries. Background Art

[0002] Before the lead-acid battery filling process, the lead-acid battery needs to be vacuum-baked to remove moisture. Specifically, the battery is placed on the battery fixture at the loading station, then the battery fixture is transported to the front of the baking oven by the lead-acid battery transfer cart. The push-pull mechanism on the lead-acid battery transfer cart then transports it to the baking oven. After vacuum heating, the battery fixture in the baking oven is pulled out of the baking oven by the push-pull mechanism and transferred to the lead-acid battery transfer cart. The lead-acid battery transfer cart drives the baking fixture to the unloading station, and then the battery fixture is grabbed by a robot to unload the battery. After the battery fixture is unloaded, it needs to be removed from the battery fixture manually or by a robot.

[0003] Finally, when the battery fixtures are accumulated to a certain number, they are moved manually or with the help of handling equipment to the lead-acid battery loading station for loading the lead-acid batteries, and then the battery fixtures are put back into the baking oven for baking.

[0004] In the above method, since the steps of loading and unloading lead-acid batteries onto the battery fixture are not integrated into the baking equipment, manual operation is required before and after baking to load and unload lead-acid batteries onto the battery fixture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the lead-acid battery production equipment of the present invention includes a drying device 1, which can dry the components of the lead-acid battery to ensure that there is no residual moisture in the components, so as to facilitate the subsequent injection of electrolyte.

[0036] The drying devices 1 are connected to each other through a conveying mechanism 2 . Since there are more than one drying device 1 , multiple drying devices 1 need to be connected to facilitate conveying the lead-acid battery components that need to be dried into the drying device 1 .

[0037] The conveying mechanism 2 accurately calculates the number of lead-acid battery assemblies to be conveyed, ensuring a consistent flow of lead-acid battery assemblies within each drying device 1. This facilitates the control of the drying time for the lead-acid battery assemblies, thereby facilitating the transfer of the next batch of lead-acid battery assemblies. When the lead-acid battery assemblies within a drying device 1 reach saturation, the position of the guide plate 4 is changed by controlling the driver 3, thereby achieving the coordination of the baffle 5 and the guide plate 4, separating the first conveying end 6 from the second conveying end 7. The guide plate 4 then guides the lead-acid battery assemblies in the first conveying end 6 to the third conveying end 8, allowing the lead-acid battery assemblies to enter the drying device 1 for drying via the third conveying end 8.

[0038] The conveying mechanism 2 consists of a conveying housing 9, a baffle 10, a guide plate 4, and a baffle 5. The conveying housing 9 is hollowed out to form a conveying chamber 11. The conveying housing 9 defines a first conveying end 6, a second conveying end 7, and a third conveying end 8. The first conveying end 6 and the second conveying end 7 are parallel and their centerlines coincide. The second conveying end 7 is an extension of the first conveying end 6. The third conveying end 8 is arranged perpendicular to the first conveying end 6 and the second conveying end 7 and is connected to the drying device 1. A first conveyor belt (not shown in the figure) is laid inside the first conveying end 6 and the second conveying end 7, transporting goods from the first conveying end 6 to the second conveying end 7. A second conveyor belt (not shown in the figure) is laid inside the third conveying end 8, transporting goods from the third conveying end 8 to the drying device 1.

[0039] When the first conveyor end 6 and the second conveyor end 7 are connected, the lead-acid battery assemblies can be transported via the first conveyor belt until they reach the drying device 1 where they need to enter, and then the driver 3 is activated. Upon reaching the drying device 1 where they need to enter, the first conveyor end 6 and the third conveyor end 8 are now connected, and the lead-acid battery assemblies on the first conveyor belt can be guided to the second conveyor belt, thereby completing the transfer of the lead-acid battery assemblies. This eliminates the need for manual handling by workers, reduces labor intensity, and improves the drying efficiency of the lead-acid battery assemblies.

[0040] A first guide post 12 is provided above one end of the blocking plate 10 , and the blocking plate 10 is movably connected to the conveying outer cover 9 via the first guide post 12 .

[0041] The other end of the blocking plate 10 is provided with a first hinge portion 13, and a first hinge hole 14 is provided in the middle of the first hinge portion 13. A second hinge portion 15 is provided at one end of the guide plate 4, and a second hinge hole 16 is provided on the second hinge portion 15. A hinge shaft 17 is provided in the first hinge hole 14 and the second hinge hole 16. The hinge shaft 17 connects one end of the blocking plate 10 to one end of the guide plate 4, allowing for hinged movement between the blocking plate 10 and the guide plate 4. Since the guide plate 4 moves in a linear motion, while the blocking plate 10 moves in an arcuate motion, one end of the guide plate 4 is required to drive one end of the blocking plate 10 to move, thereby achieving communication between the first conveying end 6 and the third conveying end 8.

[0042] The guide plate 4 is arranged in an arc shape, and the other end of the guide plate 4 is bent 18 , which contacts the inner wall of the conveying cover 9 . The bent 18 enables the guide plate 4 to contact the inner wall of the conveying cover 9 without any gap.

[0043] A first guide unit 19 is located within the transfer chamber 11. This unit consists of a first guide arc 20 and a second guide arc 21, forming a first guide region 22 between the first and second guide arcs 20 and 21. The first guide post 12 can move within the first guide region 22, thereby driving one end of the baffle plate 10 to follow the path of the first guide unit 19. The other end of the baffle plate 10 is constrained by the guide plate 4, allowing only horizontal movement.

[0044] The first guide arch 20 and the second guide arch 21 are provided with a vertical portion 23, which guides the baffle plate 10 to a vertical position. A downwardly extending support block 24 is provided at the upper end of the second guide arch 21. The upper end of the support block 24 is provided with a horizontal surface 47 for supporting the baffle plate 10. When the baffle plate 10 reaches the a end of the first guide unit 19 from the b end, it rests on the horizontal surface 47 and is supported by the horizontal surface 47.

[0045] A shaft 25 is positioned above one end of the baffle 5. The conveyor housing 9 has a placement hole 26 for the shaft 25. Furthermore, a third slot 27 is provided on the baffle 5, into which the lower end of the shaft 25 is mounted. Because the shaft 25 is mounted within the placement hole 26 and its lower end is positioned within the third slot 27, the baffle 5 can move relative to the shaft 25, within the length of the third slot 27.

[0046] When the c-end of the baffle 5 is not in contact with the inner wall of the conveying housing 9, the d-end will contact the inner wall of the conveying housing 9, causing the inner wall of the conveying housing 9 to push the baffle 5 to move, maintaining the shaft 25 in relative motion within the third strip-shaped hole 27. When the c-end of the baffle 5 contacts the conveying housing 9, the d-end will also contact the inner wall of the conveying housing 9. That is, the baffle 5 is driven by the guide plate 4, causing the d-end of the baffle 5 to rotate around the shaft 25, closing the passage between the third conveying end 8 and the first conveying end 6 and the second conveying end 7, thereby connecting the first conveying end 6 and the second conveying end 7.

[0047] A positioning block 28 is provided on the baffle 5, positioned adjacent to the guide plate 4. Second guide posts 29 are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the positioning block 28, movably connecting the positioning block 28 to the guide plate 4 via the second guide posts 29. The guide plate 4 is provided with a second guide unit 30 that cooperates with the second guide post 29. The second guide unit 30 comprises a third guide arc 31 and a fourth guide arc 32, each of which has a guide arc groove 33 therein. A sliding area 34 is formed between the third and fourth guide arcs 31, 32, through which the positioning block 28 passes.

[0048] Since the guide plate 4 is arranged in an arc shape, when the guide plate 4 moves toward the blocking plate 10 , the second guide unit 30 drives the second guide column 29 to move in the guide arc groove 33 , thereby pulling the baffle 5 to rotate.

[0049] A driver 3 is provided at the upper end of the transmission outer cover 9, and a screw rod 35 is provided on the driver 3. A push block 36 is provided on the screw rod 35. A threaded hole 37 is provided in the middle of the push block 36 to cooperate with the screw rod 35. The lower end of the push block 36 is connected to the guide plate 4 through a connecting column 39. A sliding groove 38 is provided on the transmission outer cover 9 for placing the push block 36.

[0050] The conveyor housing 9 is provided with a first strip hole 40 and a second strip hole 41. The guide plate 4 is provided with a first positioning post 42 and a second positioning post 43. The first positioning post 42 is located within the first strip hole 40, and the second positioning post 43 is located within the second strip hole 41. The length of the second strip hole 41 is greater than the length of the first strip hole 40. The first and second strip holes 40, 41 are used to limit the position of the guide plate 4, so that the guide plate 4 can only slide left and right without shifting.

[0051] The width of the baffle 5 matches the inner diameter of the third conveying end 8, and the width of the blocking plate 10 and the vertical height of the guide plate 4 are both smaller than the inner diameter of the third conveying end 8. This allows the baffle 5, blocking plate 10, and guide plate 4 to seal the inner wall of the third conveying end 8, thereby preventing heat from escaping from the drying device 1 during drying.

[0052] To ensure that the baffle 5 tightly seals the interior of the third conveyor end 8, a first fixing member 44 is provided on the inner wall of the conveyor housing 9, and a second fixing member 45 is provided on the baffle 5. The first fixing member 44 and the second fixing member 45 are connected by an elastic member 46. The elastic member 46 is in a stretched state. The elastic member 46 can be used to pull the baffle 5 toward one end of the blocking plate 10, and can also facilitate the return of the baffle 5 when the guide plate 4 moves.

[0053] During operation, it is only necessary to start the driver 3, which will drive the screw 35 to rotate, thereby moving through the guide plate 4, driving one end of the blocking plate 10 to move, and the other end of the blocking plate 10 moves around the first guide unit 19, and the baffle 5 will be pushed by the guide plate 4, so that the d end of the baffle 5 contacts the inner wall of the conveying outer cover 9, thereby guiding the lead-acid battery assembly on the first conveyor belt to the second conveyor belt.

[0054] When the driver 3 rotates in the reverse direction, it can drive the guide plate 4 to move in the reverse direction, so that the guide plate 4 drives the blocking plate 10 and the baffle 5 to reset, thereby achieving the connection between the first conveying end 6 and the second conveying end 7, and transmitting the lead-acid battery components that need to be dried.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
