Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of battery production, and in particular to energy-saving lead melting furnace equipment and a control method for battery production. Background Art

[0002] In battery production, lead melting furnaces are mainly used to produce lead plates. Lead plates are an important component of batteries. In the production process, the lead needs to be melted and then formed into plates through processes such as casting or coating. In battery production, lead ingot blanks are generally continuously fed into the lead melting furnace. The common way to feed lead ingot blanks is to feed them directly from the top of the towering lead ingot furnace to ensure the stability of the amount of lead ingots in the lead melting furnace. However, this method of feeding will cause a large amount of heat to be directly discharged from the upper opening of the lead ingot furnace, resulting in large heat loss in the lead melting furnace and a large waste of heating electricity.

[0003] One existing method is to install a cover plate on the upper opening of the lead melting furnace, and open the cover plate when feeding lead ingots from the upper opening of the lead melting furnace to reduce heat loss. However, when the cover plate is opened and the lead ingots are fed, a large amount of heat in the furnace will still escape, and the frequency of feeding lead ingots into the lead melting furnace is relatively high. The use of the cover plate method is not ideal for reducing the heat escape from the furnace.

[0004] In summary, how to ensure that the lead smelting furnace is continuously loaded with lead ingots while further reducing the heat energy loss of the lead smelting furnace and achieving the effect of improving the utilization rate of heat energy has become a problem that needs to be solved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0045] Embodiment 1: The present invention designs an energy-saving lead melting furnace equipment for battery production, and the main equipment structure is as follows:

[0046] like Figure 1 Heating tank 1: The heating tank 1 includes a lower tank body 101, which has a melting chamber 102 inside. The melting chamber 102 is used to accommodate lead ingots for melting. An electromagnetic heating coil 103 surrounds the melting chamber 102 to provide a heat source for melting the lead ingots. The bottom of the melting chamber 102 is connected to a lead liquid discharge channel 104, through which the molten lead liquid can be discharged for subsequent battery plate production processes, such as casting or coating.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6, preheating tank 2 and related components: The main body of the preheating tank 2 is the upper tank body 201, which is installed above the heating tank 1 through a flange structure. A residual material detection module 206 is arranged on its bottom side for real-time monitoring of the amount of lead ingots in the melting chamber 102. A vertical heat-absorbing pipe body 202 and a lead ingot unloading channel 203 are installed in the inner periphery of the upper tank body 201. The bottom opening of the vertical heat-absorbing pipe body 202 is connected to the top area of ​​the melting chamber 102, and the top opening is connected to the bottom area of ​​the feeding chamber 205 to form a heat conduction channel. The lead ingot unloading channel 203 is located in the inner periphery of the vertical heat-absorbing pipe body 202 and is used for the transportation of lead ingots. A feeding chamber 205 is opened at the top of the upper tank body 201, and a feeding manipulator 4 is arranged above the feeding chamber 205 for automatically placing lead ingots vertically into the feeding chamber 205. The feeding chamber 205 is equipped with a temperature sensing module 207 for monitoring the temperature of the rising air flow. The top of the upper tank body 201 is also provided with a plurality of circular hole slots 204, and the circular hole slots 204 not on the top penetrate the vertical heat absorbing pipe body 202 for installing the heat recovery component 3. At the same time, the upper tank body 201 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 208, which penetrate the vertical heat absorbing pipe body 202 inwardly for guiding the shaft rod 602 and the support frame 603 of the support component 6.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , heat recovery component 3: The heat recovery component 3 includes a main heat recovery pipe 301, an airflow pump 302, a heat recovery branch pipe 303 and an airflow electric control valve 304. The upper end of the main heat recovery pipe 301 is inserted into the top of the preheating tank 2 and communicated with the feed chamber 205. The airflow pump 302 is installed on the main heat recovery pipe 301 to drive the airflow circulation. Multiple heat recovery branch pipes 303 are independently connected to the main heat recovery pipe 301, and each heat recovery branch pipe 303 is equipped with an independent airflow electric control valve 304. The heat recovery branch pipe 303 is inserted according to the position of the round hole slot 204 on the upper tank body 201. The non-top round hole slot 204 corresponds to the installation position of the heat recovery branch pipe 303, so that the heat recovery branch pipe 303 can be connected to the preheating isolation area 2031 in the vertical heat absorption pipe body 202.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 7, Support assembly 6: Support assembly 6 includes a telescopic driver 601, a shaft 602, a support frame 603 and a rotating wheel 604. The telescopic driver 601 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the upper tank 201, and its output end is connected to the shaft 602, and one end of the shaft 602 is fixedly connected to the support frame 603. The support frame 603 is movably inserted into the lead ingot feeding channel 203, and a plurality of rotating wheels 604 are arranged on the support frame 603 to support the lead ingot 5 and enable it to move smoothly in the lead ingot feeding channel 203. The lead ingot and the support frame 603 are actually in rolling contact. There is an updraft gap 605 between adjacent rotating wheels 604 of the same support frame 603 to ensure that the airflow can flow vertically and realize heat exchange. A preheating partition area 2031 separated by a plurality of support frames 603 is formed in the vertical heat absorption tube body 202. The top of the preheating partition area 2031 other than the uppermost position is connected to a heat recovery branch pipe 303, and the vertical height of the preheating partition area 2031 is greater than the length of the lead ingot 5, ensuring that the lead ingot can be fully preheated in the preheating partition area 2031.

[0050] Embodiment 2: The present invention designs a control method for an energy-saving lead melting furnace device for battery production, and the main method contents are as follows:

[0051] First, the startup and feeding stage:

[0052] After the lead melting furnace equipment is started, the feeding robot 4 starts to continuously feed the lead ingots. The residual material detection module 206 monitors the amount of lead ingots in the melting chamber 102 in real time. As the lead ingots are fed, the amount of lead ingots in the melting chamber 102 continues to increase. When the electromagnetic heating coil 103 receives the start signal, it starts to heat the lead ingots in the melting chamber 102 to gradually melt the lead ingots.

[0053] Then, the lead ingot storage and preheating stage:

[0054] When the residual material detection module 206 detects that the amount of lead ingots in the melting chamber 102 reaches the maximum reference value preset by the system, the support assembly 6 is started. The support assembly 6 at the bottom position is started first, and the telescopic driver 601 drives its support frame 603 to extend into the lead ingot feeding channel 203, and then the feeding manipulator 4 throws a lead ingot into the lead ingot feeding channel 203. Then the support assembly 6 at the upper position is started in turn, and the above actions are repeated until the support assembly 6 at the top position drives its support frame 603 to extend into the lead ingot feeding channel 203, and the feeding manipulator 4 throws the last lead ingot. At this time, the lead ingots in the lead ingot feeding channel 203 are distributed in multiple layers and are separated by multiple support frames 603 in different preheating isolation areas 2031. During the continuous heating process of the lead ingots in the melting chamber 102 by the electromagnetic heating coil 103, part of the heat escapes upward and enters the upper lead ingot feeding channel 203 through the vertical heat absorption tube body 202, and continuously preheats the multiple lead ingots in the lead ingot feeding channel 203.

[0055] Third, the lead ingot falling and replenishment stage:

[0056] When the residual material detection module 206 detects that the amount of lead ingots in the melting chamber 102 is lower than the maximum reference value preset by the system, the bottommost support assembly 6 is started, and the telescopic driver 601 drives its support frame 603 to retract and disengage from the lead ingot unloading channel 203, and the lead ingot supported by the bottommost support frame 603 falls into the melting chamber 102 under the action of gravity. After the lead ingot supported by the support frame 603 falls into the melting chamber 102, the support assembly 6 drives the support frame 603 to advance again and extend into the lead ingot unloading channel 203. Subsequently, the support assembly 6 above the bottommost support assembly 6 completes the retraction and advancement of the support frame 603 one by one from bottom to top, so that the lead ingots originally on each support frame 603 are moved down by one support frame 603 position. In this process, the feeding robot 4 replenishes the lead ingots to the lead ingot unloading channel 203 to ensure that there is always enough lead ingot reserve in the lead ingot unloading channel 203.

[0057] Finally, the heat recovery control stage:

[0058] The temperature sensor module 207 monitors the temperature of the rising airflow in real time, denoted as T x The system presets n temperature reference values: [T1, T2, T3, ..., T n ], where n is the number of heat recovery branches 303, T1>T2>T3>…>T n . Judge T x With [T1, T2, T3, …, T n ], if T x ≥T m , then counting from low to high, the airflow electric control valve 304 of the mth heat recovery branch pipe 303 is opened. For example, if the airflow temperature detected by the temperature sensing module 207 is high, T x ≥T1, the airflow electric control valve 304 of the bottom heat recovery branch pipe 303 is opened to allow the high-temperature airflow to flow back to the bottom preheating isolation area 2031 for heat recovery; if T x ≥T2, the airflow electric control valve 304 of the second heat recovery branch pipe 303 is opened, and so on, so as to selectively return the airflow of suitable temperature to the corresponding position according to the different airflow temperatures, thereby improving the heat utilization rate.

[0059] Through the coordinated work of the above-mentioned equipment structure and control method, the present invention effectively reduces the heat energy loss of the lead melting furnace while ensuring the continuous production of lead ingots, improves the comprehensive utilization rate of the heat energy of the lead melting furnace, and is suitable for related processes such as lead plate manufacturing in battery production.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.

When the residual material detection module (206) detects that the amount of lead ingots in the melting chamber (102) is lower than the maximum reference value preset by the system: S4.

1. The bottommost support assembly (6) is started, driving its support frame (603) to retract and detach from the lead ingot unloading channel (203), and the lead ingot supported by the bottommost support frame (603) falls into the melting chamber (102); S4.

2. After the lead ingot supported by the support frame (603) falls into the melting chamber (102), the support assembly (6) drives the support frame (603) to be pushed forward again and extend into the lead ingot feeding channel (203); S4.

3. The support assembly (6) above the bottommost support assembly (6) completes the retraction and advancement of the support frame (603) one by one from bottom to top; S5. The feeding robot (4) replenishes the lead ingots into the lead ingot feeding channel (203); S6. The temperature sensor module (207) monitors the temperature of the rising airflow in real time, denoted as T x ; The system presets n temperature reference values: [T1, T2, T3, ..., T n ], where n is the number of heat recovery branches (303), T1>T2>T3>...>T n ; Judge T x With [T1, T2, T3, ..., T n ], if T x ≥T m , counting from low to high, the air flow electric control valve (304) of the mth heat recovery branch pipe (303) is opened, where T m ∈[T1, T2, T3, ..., T n ].
