Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery production, and in particular relates to a battery lifting and conveying device for a battery charging rack. Background Art

[0002] Lead-acid batteries are widely used in important areas of the national economy due to their low price, reliable quality, large capacity range, easy maintenance, and long service life. The production process of batteries mainly includes raw material preparation, lead plate preparation, electrode preparation, electrolyte preparation, assembly, charging, testing, and packaging. After assembly, the battery needs to be placed on a charging rack for charging. A lot of heat will be generated during the charging process of the battery, and high temperature will affect the charging efficiency. Therefore, when charging the battery, it will be cooled by means of a water bath in the charging rack.

[0003] Among them, a large number of batteries need to be carried to the water bath of the charging rack, which not only has high labor intensity but also has low work efficiency. Therefore, a lifting device is used to lift the batteries to the height of the water bath and then move them into the water bath. However, the existing method is to disassemble one end of the water bath to ensure that the bracket of the lifting device is flush with the bottom of the water bath, so as to directly move the batteries into the water bath. However, one end of the water bath is then waterproofed. This method not only requires repeated disassembly and installation of the mounting plate at one end of the water bath each time charging, but also causes water leakage in the water bath.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems of cumbersome repeated disassembly and installation and possible water leakage, the present invention designs a battery lifting and conveying device for a battery charging rack. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a battery lifting and conveying device for a battery charging rack.
