Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technology of installing lead - acid battery plate groups, and particularly to a horizontal compression and vertical installation device and working method for battery plates. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, when welding a lead - acid battery plate group, first, the plate group needs to be fixed in a clamping tooling. However, this clamping tooling has some problems. On the one hand, when the width of the plate group changes, it may be necessary to replace another clamping tooling with a different size specification, which increases the complexity of the operation. On the other hand, when the width of the plate group becomes narrower, the plate group may not be clamped tightly enough, resulting in gaps during welding, thus affecting the consistency of the plate group.

[0003] In the patent document with the authorization announcement number CN14551331B, a lead - acid battery plate group welding machine is disclosed, which includes a frame. There is a horizontal conveying device for the plate group between the head and the tail of the frame. In the middle of the frame, a reciprocating driving unit for the plate group welding module is arranged side by side left and right. The reciprocating driving unit for the plate group welding module drives the plate group welding module to move horizontally back and forth. The plate group welding module includes a base and a plate group welding fixture arranged above the base. A fixture lifting mechanism for driving the plate group welding fixture to lift is arranged on the base. The plate group welding fixture includes a mold shell for holding the plate group. In the middle of the upper side of the mold shell, there is an intermediate positioning plate. On the left and right sides of the intermediate positioning plate, there are ear positioning plates. An ear positioning structure for positioning the ears of the plate group is arranged between the intermediate positioning plate and the ear positioning plates. Above the rear side of the middle of the frame, there is a three - axis numerical control mechanism, and a torch nozzle is connected to the three - axis numerical control mechanism. This invention uses flame heating for welding, with low production costs, high production efficiency, and easier control of welding quality.

[0004] However, it uses a conveyor belt for horizontal conveying, and separates the multiple steps of welding the plate group in sequence, namely a sorting area, a welding area, and a boxing area. The conveyor belt sequentially conveys the plate group to these areas and processes them in sequence, which makes the entire mechanism occupy a large space and has a low space utilization rate. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the mechanism occupies a large space and has a low space utilization rate.

[0006] To solve the above - mentioned technical problem, the present invention provides a horizontal compression and vertical installation device for battery plates, which includes a frame. A working space is formed in the frame. A clamping assembly, a welding assembly, and a pushing assembly are arranged in the working space. The welding assembly is movably arranged above the clamping assembly, and the pushing assembly is movably arranged above the welding assembly.

[0007] On both sides above the welding assembly, first guiding sliding rods are respectively arranged. A first connecting piece is slidably arranged on the first guiding sliding rods. The lower part of the first connecting piece is connected to the welding assembly. By sliding the first connecting piece on the first guiding sliding rods, the welding assembly slides back and forth above the clamping assembly. A first air cylinder is arranged on the first connecting piece. The piston rod of the first air cylinder is connected to the welding assembly. By driving of the first air cylinder, the welding assembly makes a lifting motion above the clamping assembly.

[0008] On the top of the frame, a second guiding sliding rod is arranged. A second connecting piece is slidably arranged on the second guiding sliding rod. The lower part of the second connecting piece is connected to the pushing assembly. By sliding the second connecting piece on the second guiding sliding rod, the pushing assembly slides back and forth above the clamping assembly. A second air cylinder is arranged on the second connecting piece. The piston rod of the second air cylinder is connected to the pushing assembly. By driving of the second air cylinder, the pushing assembly makes a lifting motion above the clamping assembly.

[0009] The present invention also provides a working method of a horizontal compression and vertical installation device for battery electrodes, including the following steps:

[0010] S1. Place the plate group (20) in the clamping assembly (2), and organize the plate group (20) through the clamping assembly (2).

[0011] S2. Push the welding assembly (3) above the clamping assembly (2), and organize the tab (30) of the plate group (20) by the welding assembly (3).

[0012] S3. Place the pole column at the designated position on the welding assembly (3).

[0013] S4. Through the spray gun (14), melt the lead bar, so that the molten lead of the lead bar welds the tab (30) and the pole column together.

[0014] S5. Control the welding assembly (3) to reset.

[0015] S6. Control the pushing assembly (4) to push the welded plate group (20) into the battery box (13) at the bottom of the clamping assembly (2).

[0016] In the above solution, the clamping assembly, the welding assembly and the pushing assembly are arranged in a working space formed within a frame. The welding assembly and the pushing assembly are connected with sliding rods. The welding assembly and the pushing assembly can slide on the sliding rods. The sliding rods are located above the clamping assembly. By pushing of the air cylinders, the welding assembly and the pushing assembly make horizontal motion and lifting motion above the clamping assembly. This enables the clamping assembly, the welding assembly and the pushing assembly to complete the in-box assembly of the lead-acid battery within a relatively small working space, improving the utilization rate of the site space.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0025] As Figure 1 shown, a horizontal compression and vertical installation device for battery electrode plates includes a frame 1. A spray gun 14 is provided on one side of the frame 1. The spray gun 14 can spray flames for fusing lead rods. A working space 10 is formed in the frame 1. A clamping assembly 2, a welding assembly 3, and a pushing assembly 4 are arranged in the working space 10. The welding assembly 3 is movably arranged above the clamping assembly 2, and the pushing assembly 4 is movably arranged above the welding assembly 3.

[0026] As Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, first guiding slide rods 5 are respectively arranged on both sides above the welding assembly 3. A first connecting member 6 is slidably arranged on the first guiding slide rods 5. A first air cylinder 61 is arranged on the first connecting member 6. The first connecting member 6 has a sliding portion 62 and a connecting portion 63. The sliding portion 62 is slidably connected with the first guiding slide rods 5. By sliding the sliding portion 62 on the first guiding slide rods 5, the welding assembly 3 makes a horizontal movement above the clamping assembly 2. The first air cylinder 61 is arranged on the connecting portion 63. A second through hole 64 is formed below the connecting portion 63. The piston rod of the first air cylinder 61 passes through the connecting portion 63 and is connected to the welding assembly 3 below. By driving the first air cylinder 61, the welding assembly 3 makes a lifting movement above the clamping assembly 2.

[0027] As Figures 3 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the welding assembly 3 includes a positioning rod 31 and a welding mechanism 32. The welding mechanism 32 is arranged around the positioning rod 31. The width of the positioning rod 31 is equal to or less than the width between the tabs 30 in the plate group 20. When welding the electrode post, the welding assembly 3 moves horizontally and descends to the upper part of the clamping assembly 2. At this time, the bottom of the welding mechanism 32 is horizontally flush with the plate group 20, and the positioning rod 31 is located between the tabs 30 on both sides of the plate group 20, so that the welding mechanism 32 will not be disordered when clamping and arranging the tabs 30.

[0028] In this embodiment, a second guiding slide bar 7 is arranged on the top of the frame 1. A second connecting piece 8 is slidably arranged on the second guiding slide bar 7. The lower part of the second connecting piece 8 is connected to the pushing assembly 4. By sliding the second connecting piece 8 on the second guiding slide bar 7, the pushing assembly 4 slides back and forth above the clamping assembly 2. A second air cylinder 81 is arranged on the second connecting piece 8. The piston rod of the second air cylinder 81 is connected to the pushing assembly 4. By driving the second air cylinder 81, the pushing assembly 4 makes a lifting motion above the clamping assembly 2.

[0029] As Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, a third air cylinder 9 is arranged between the second connecting piece 8 and the frame 1. The piston rod of the third air cylinder 9 is connected to the second connecting piece 8. By pushing the second connecting piece 8 to slide on the second guiding slide bar 7 through the third air cylinder 9, the pushing assembly 4 makes a horizontal motion above the clamping assembly 2.

[0030] As Figures 4 to 5 shown, in this embodiment, the pushing assembly 4 includes a fixing part 41 and a pressing part 42. The pressing part 42 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the fixing part 41. The upper part of the fixing part 41 is connected to the piston rod of the second air cylinder 81. The pressing part 42 includes a first pressing part 421 and a second pressing part 422. There are two groups of the first pressing parts 421. Each group of the first pressing parts 421 is formed by a plurality of first pressing blocks 423 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the fixing part 41. The second pressing part 422 is composed of a plurality of second pressing blocks 424. A connecting piece 43 is arranged between the two groups of the first pressing parts 421. A clamping groove 44 is formed between the connecting piece 43 and the connected first pressing blocks 423. The second pressing blocks 424 are clamped into the clamping groove 44. The second pressing blocks 424 are made of elastic materials, including but not limited to rubber. The width of the second pressing blocks 424 is slightly larger than the width of the clamping groove 44. Since the second pressing blocks 424 are made of elastic materials, they are elastically clamped in the clamping groove 44 by their own elasticity. At the same time, the second pressing blocks 424 protrude more than the first pressing blocks 423 and come into contact with the plate group 20 earlier during pushing. Since the second pressing blocks 424 have elasticity, they have a certain buffering effect to prevent the pushing assembly 4 from damaging the plate group 20 when pushing the plate group 20.

[0031] In this embodiment, a placement plate 11 is provided on the frame 1. The placement plate 11 is located below the clamping assembly 2. The clamping assembly 2 includes a bottom plate 21 and a clamping mechanism 22. The clamping mechanism 22 is provided on the bottom plate 21. A first through hole 211 is formed in the bottom plate. The first through hole 211 is located directly above the placement plate 11. Fixed cavities 212 are provided at the left and right ends of the first through hole 211. An active rod 23 is arranged between the fixed cavities 212. The active rod 23 is located below the clamping mechanism 22. The active rod 23 includes a first active rod 231 and a second active rod 232. The first active rod 231 and the second active rod 232 can move closer to or away from each other within the first through hole 211. A positioning protrusion 12 protrudes upward on the placement plate 11. The placement position of the battery box 13 is defined by the positioning protrusion 12. After the pole plate group 20 in the clamping assembly 2 is welded with the pole posts, the first active rod 231 and the second active rod 232 move away from each other. The gap between the first active rod 231 and the second active rod 232 allows the pole plate group 20 to pass through. At this time, the pushing assembly 4 moves horizontally to the upper part of the clamping assembly 2, and then the pushing assembly 4 moves downward, so that the pressing part 42 pushes the pole plate group 20 and pushes the pole plate group 20 into the battery box 13 under the first through hole 211. Then the pushing assembly 4 moves upward and horizontally to return to the original position.

[0032] In this embodiment, the interval between the two pressing parts 42 is the same as the distance between the pole lugs 30 on the pole plate group 20. The protruding height of the second pressing block 424 is the same as the height of the pole lug 30. When the pushing assembly 4 presses the pole plate group 20, the second pressing part 422 presses between the pole lugs 30 on both sides of the pole plate group 20, and the first pressing part 421 presses on the welded pole lugs 30. Through the buffering of the second pressing part 422, the pole plate group 20 is not easily damaged.

[0033] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 2 includes a detachable sorting rod body 24. The sorting rod body 24 includes a first rod body 241 and a second rod body 242. After the pole plate group 20 is placed in the clamping assembly 2, the first rod body 241 is placed between the pole lugs 30, and then the second rod body 242 is used to push the pole lugs 30 to make them fit the first rod body 241, so that the pole plate group 20 is arranged flush in the clamping assembly 2, which is convenient for the subsequent welding assembly 3 to comb the pole lugs.

[0034] The working method of the above battery pole piece installation equipment specifically includes the following steps:

[0035] S1. Place the pole plate group 20 in the clamping assembly 2 and sort out the pole plate group 20 through the clamping assembly 2.

[0036] S1.1. Place the first rod body 241 between the pole lugs 30, and use the second rod body 242 to push both sides of the pole lugs 30 so that the pole lugs 30 fit the first rod body 241.

[0037] S2. The welding assembly 3 is pushed above the clamping assembly 2, and the welding assembly 3 arranges the tabs 30 of the plate group 20.

[0038] S3. Place the pole column at the designated position of the welding assembly 3.

[0039] S4. Through the spray gun 14, the lead bar is melted, so that the molten lead of the melted lead bar welds the tab 30 and the pole column together.

[0040] S5. Control the welding assembly 3 to reset.

[0041] S6. Control the pushing assembly 4 to push the welded plate group 20 into the battery box 13 at the bottom of the clamping assembly 2.

[0042] In the above solution, the clamping assembly 2, the welding assembly 3 and the pushing assembly 4 are arranged in a working space formed within a frame 1. The welding assembly 3 and the pushing assembly 4 are connected with sliding rods, and the welding assembly 3 and the pushing assembly 4 can slide on the sliding rods. The sliding rods are located above the clamping assembly 2. The welding assembly 3 and the pushing assembly 4 are pushed by cylinders to move horizontally and vertically above the clamping assembly 2. This enables the clamping assembly 2, the welding assembly 3 and the pushing assembly 4 to complete the in-box assembly of the lead-acid battery within a relatively small working space, improving the utilization rate of the site space.
