Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of battery manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a plate moisture retention device. Background Technology

[0002] As the main material of lead-acid batteries, the plates play a crucial role in the quality of the battery. Continuous coating is an important process for forming plates by punching grids. The last step of the continuous coating process is to moisten the surface of the dried plates in order to prevent cracks from forming on the plate surface.

[0003] In existing technologies, a movable humidifier is usually installed on one side of the curing rack. When using this humidification method, it has been found that the humidity of the plates on the curing rack near the humidifier is too high, while the humidity of the plates on the other side is too low. This results in different levels of moisture retention for the plates at different locations on the curing rack, which is not conducive to the consistency of the plates and reduces the performance of the battery. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electrode plate moisturizing device, which solves the problems raised in the prior art by placing a curing rack into an inverted U-shaped chamber, controlling the spray pipe set on one inner wall of the chamber to rotate until it passes through the gap between adjacent sides of the curing rack, and then controlling the spray pipe to move horizontally along its length direction.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This invention relates to an electrode plate humidification device, comprising an inverted U-shaped chamber.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner", "around", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0029] Please see Figure 1and 3 As shown, the present invention is a plate humidification device, including a chamber 1 set on the ground. The chamber 1 has an inverted U-shaped structure. On the two opposite inner walls of the chamber 1, guide rails A11 and B12 are respectively installed in the axial direction. Electric sliders A111 and B120 are respectively installed on guide rails A11 and B12. A spray pipe 3 is hinged to the electric slider A111. In use, the curing frame 2 loaded with plates is pushed into the chamber 1. Then, the spray pipe 3 is controlled to rotate on the electric slider A111 along the horizontal plane. One end of the spray pipe 3 is controlled to pass through the curing frame 2 and connect to the electric slider B120. The electric sliders A111 and B120 are moved synchronously, thereby driving the spray pipe 3 to move on the horizontal plane. Finally, the spray pipe 3 is used to spray and humidify one layer of plates.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 To enable the control of one end of the spray pipe 3 to be hinged to the electric slider A111, the top side of the electric slider A111 of this application is provided with two side plates A112 distributed vertically, and each side plate A112 is provided with a hinge hole; Figure 5 The spray pipe 3 includes a spray pipe body 30, one end of which is connected to a hinge block 31. The hinge block 31 is provided with a hinge shaft 311 that mates with the hinge hole. In order to facilitate spraying, several spray holes are provided on one side of the spray pipe body 30 along its axial direction, or several spray valves are connected. The spray pipe body 30 is also provided with a water inlet.

[0031] In order to facilitate the control of the spray pipe 3 to rotate to the corresponding position, a protruding stop 123 is provided on the upper surface of the side plate B121 at the bottom. When controlling the rotation of the spray pipe 3, it is necessary to control the end of the spray pipe 3 to abut against the stop 123.

[0032] To facilitate the connection between the spray pipe 3 and the electric slider B120 during use, this application provides two side plates B121 arranged vertically on the top side of the electric slider B120. The top side plate B121 has a threaded hole, and the bottom side plate B121 has a through hole. The other end of the spray pipe body 30 is connected to a connecting block 32, which has a through hole 321. During use, a pin 122 is used to pass through the threaded hole, the through hole 321, and the through hole to connect the spray pipe 3 and the electric slider B120. When the end of the spray pipe 3 is controlled to abut against the stop part 123, the threaded hole, the through hole 321, and the through hole are concentric.

[0033] Based on the above, in order to prevent the pin 122 from being pulled out and lost, the end of the pin 122 is provided with a stud that is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the pin 122 moves through the through hole and the through hole 321.

[0034] It is known that, as Figure 4 To keep the spray pipe 3 stable when it is not in use, a limit plate 110 is provided at one end of the guide rail A11. A sleeve 1101 is connected to one side of the limit plate 110. Thus, while keeping the spray pipe 3 in the unused state, one end of the spray pipe 3 is controlled to be inserted into the sleeve 1101, and the sleeve 1101 is used to support the spray pipe 3.

[0035] It is understandable that, such as Figure 6 To prevent the spray pipe 3 from rotating out when the curing rack 2 is not placed in the chamber 1 during use, which could damage the spray pipe 3 when the curing rack 2 is subsequently inserted into the chamber 1, the chamber 1 provided by this invention includes an inlet and an outlet; a telescopic cylinder A101 is provided on the inner top side of the chamber 1 at the outlet, and a vertical rod 102 is connected to the end of the telescopic cylinder A101. A stop plate 104 is connected to one side of the vertical rod 102 through several elastic telescopic members 103, and a contact sensor 105 is provided on the side of the vertical rod 102 near the stop plate 104; a pair of gratings are provided at the inlet for detecting whether the curing rack 2 has been pushed into the chamber 1. That is, the curing rack 2 is pushed into the chamber 1 by a pair of gratings. When this signal is detected, the telescopic cylinder A101 is controlled to extend to the bottom of the vertical rod 102 and below the top of the curing rack 2. Then, when the curing rack 2 is pushed into the chamber 1, the curing rack 2 touches the abutment plate 104. At this time, the contact sensor 105 generates a signal, indicating that a curing rack 2 is placed in the chamber 1. Of course, when it is necessary to remove the curing rack 2 from the chamber 1, the multiple spray pipes 3 located on the inner wall of the chamber 1 are controlled to be in the retracted state. When the multiple spray pipes 3 are detected to be in the retracted state, the telescopic cylinder A101 is controlled to retract.

[0036] Based on the above, in order to limit the multiple spray pipes 3 in the retracted state and prevent them from being rotated out for use, a limiting mechanism is provided on the inner side wall of the chamber 1. The limiting mechanism is connected to a controller, which is connected to a contact sensor 105, a grating, and a telescopic cylinder A101. The length direction of the spray pipe 3 in the retracted state is the same as the axial direction of the chamber 1. The limiting mechanism includes a telescopic cylinder B4 located at the top of the chamber 1. The end of the telescopic cylinder B4 is connected to a movable rod 41 that moves in the vertical direction. Several L-shaped limiting blocks 42 are connected to one side of the movable rod 41. The L-shaped limiting blocks 42 are locked on the outside of the spray pipe 3. In order to facilitate the detection of multiple spray pipes 3 in the retracted state, a pressure sensor is provided on the bottom side of the sleeve 1101. When all pressure sensors detect pressure signals, it indicates that multiple spray pipes 3 are in the retracted state.

[0037] like Figure 8It is important to note that when the curing rack 2 is pushed into the chamber 1 along the rollers at its bottom, excessive pushing should be avoided to prevent damage to the telescopic cylinder A101. A groove 5 is provided on the ground directly below the curing rack 2. The telescopic cylinder C51 connected to the controller is installed in the groove 5. A partition 52 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 5. Two guide sleeves 53 are provided on the partition 52. Guide posts 54 are fitted inside the two guide sleeves 53. The top of the two guide posts 54 is connected to a base plate 55. A U-shaped locking block 56 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 55. The U-shaped locking block 56 is locked on the crossbeam of the curing rack 2. The end of the telescopic cylinder C51 moves through the partition 52 and abuts against the bottom side of the base plate 55. This is to ensure that when the contact sensor 105 generates a signal, the telescopic cylinder C51 extends and drives the U-shaped locking block 56 to lock on the crossbeam of the curing rack 2, thereby preventing the curing rack 2 from continuing to move under the action of external force.

[0038] like Figure 7 To ensure that the telescopic cylinder A101 is not damaged, in actual use, when the curing frame 2 touches the abutment plate 104, the curing frame 2 will continue to move a certain distance under the action of inertia. Based on this, it is necessary to set the vertical rod 102 to be able to move horizontally for a period of time. That is, a connecting seat 106 is connected to the end of the telescopic cylinder A101, and the top of the vertical rod 102 is hinged to the connecting seat 106 by a hinge. When the curing frame 2 touches the abutment plate 104 and causes the vertical rod 102 to rotate along the hinge, after the curing frame 2 is removed, the abutment plate 104 returns to the vertical state under its own weight.
