Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lead-acid storage batteries, in particular to a rapid curing method for lead-acid power storage battery plates. BACKGROUND

[0002] Plate curing is a key process in the production of storage batteries, including the following reaction processes: recrystallization of active material to form a three-base lead sulfate (3BS) or four-base lead sulfate (4BS) network structure, oxidation of the grid surface and close contact with the active material, reduction of free lead content in the active material after oxidation, and water loss and drying of the active material. The free lead oxidation reduction stage is particularly important and depends on the temperature and the amount and method of oxygen supplementation.

[0003] The conditions during plate curing have a significant impact on each reaction process, thereby affecting the final battery performance. Therefore, the existing technology has strict requirements for the conditions of the plate curing process, and the curing process usually takes more than 60 hours, which seriously restricts the production efficiency.

[0004] Currently, there have been many studies on shortening the plate curing time, but most of the shortened curing time is still more than ten to twenty hours. Patent CN107342396B discloses a rapid curing process for storage battery plates, which can complete the curing and drying of the plates within 6-10 hours, greatly improving the production efficiency of the curing and drying of the green plates. However, it is only applicable to the rapid curing process of high-temperature 4BS paste and is only suitable for automotive starting batteries or VRLA batteries. It is not suitable for power battery plates that cannot produce 4BS and require medium-low temperature curing. At present, the curing of power battery plates still cannot be effectively shortened, and the production efficiency cannot be improved while ensuring the performance of the plates. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application is to overcome the above-mentioned problems existing in the curing process of the lead-acid power storage battery plates of the prior art, and to provide a rapid curing method for lead-acid power storage battery plates. By controlling the circulation of wind pressure to supplement oxygen after steam heating and humidification, the amount of moisture emission is controlled, the oxidation speed of the free lead of the plate is accelerated, the time of the curing stage is greatly shortened, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A rapid curing method for lead-acid power storage battery plates, comprising the following steps:

[0008] (1) Plate feeding stage: feeding the plates to be cured into the curing chamber, time ≤ 3h;

[0009] (2) Steam phase: steam of 100℃-120℃ is supplied to the curing chamber to heat and humidify, so that the humidity reaches 100% and the temperature reaches 80℃-100℃, and the time above 80℃ is controlled to be 50min-80min;

[0010] (3) Curing phase: the relative humidity is controlled to be ≥75% and the temperature is controlled to be 50℃-60℃; fresh air is supplied, the circulating fan is started, the circulating air pressure is controlled to be 3mbar-6mbar, and the time is controlled to be 4.5h-5h;

[0011] (4) Drying and converting phase: the relative humidity is controlled to be 35%-85% and the temperature is controlled to be 65℃-75℃; fresh air is supplied, the circulating fan is started, the circulating air pressure is controlled to be 5mbar-8mbar, and the time is controlled to be 55min-65min;

[0012] (5) Drying phase: the relative humidity is controlled to be 0%-35% and the temperature is controlled to be 105℃-110℃; fresh air is supplied, the circulating fan is started, the circulating air pressure is controlled to be 5mbar-8mbar, and the time is controlled to be 45min-60min.

[0013] In the traditional curing process of the plate, the curing phase is generally humidified by steam and atomized water, the plate is heated and humidified by steam in the steam phase of the present application, only the moisture discharge amount is controlled in the curing phase, no humidification is performed, the humidity range in the curing chamber is reasonably controlled, and oxygen is supplied through pressure circulation, the oxygen supply speed in the curing phase and the water loss speed in the drying phase are controlled through air pressure, the oxidation speed of the free lead of the plate is accelerated, the curing time is greatly shortened, the overall curing time can be shortened from more than 60 hours to 8 hours, the circulation performance of the plate is ensured, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.

[0014] Since high-temperature curing (above 80℃) can produce 4BS, uneven 4BS affects the capacity and battery consistency, and power batteries cannot have 4BS. Therefore, the present application adopts a low-temperature curing method, the temperature in the curing phase is not higher than 80℃, and 4BS is not produced in the curing process, which is suitable for the rapid curing of the plates of lead-acid power storage batteries.

[0015] As preferred, the lead paste formula of the plate to be cured includes, in parts by weight: lead powder 70-82 parts, red lead 3-5 parts, water 6-7 parts, dilute sulfuric acid 6.5-8.0 parts, and fiber 0.06-0.07 parts. No 4BS is added in the lead paste formula of the present application, and no 4BS is produced in the curing process, which can be suitable for lead-acid power storage batteries.

[0016] As preferred, the plate in step (1) is a punched grid plate or a continuous casting grid plate with a thickness of less than or equal to 2.6mm.

[0017] As preferred, the polar plate is vertically or horizontally arranged on the stacking side in the curing chamber after being fed into the plate in step (1). The oxygen supplementing air flows smoothly and uniformly through the polar plate in the curing chamber, which is beneficial to the uniform curing of the polar plate and ensures that the cured polar plate has excellent performance.

[0018] As preferred, the polar plate is fed into the plate at 38-42℃ and relative humidity ≥98% in step (1).

[0019] As preferred, the polar plate is fed into the plate at 38-42℃ and relative humidity ≥98% in step (1).

[0020] As preferred, the steam quantity is 60%-100% of the maximum steam quantity in step (2).

[0021] As preferred, the humidity is controlled by controlling the opening degree of the exhaust air door of the curing chamber in steps (3)-(5).

[0022] As preferred, the opening degree of the exhaust air door is 5%-35% in step (3), 5%-25% in step (4) and 10%-100% in step (5).

[0023] As preferred, the fresh air is supplemented by controlling the opening degree of the fresh air inlet of the curing chamber in steps (3)-(5), and the opening degree of the fresh air inlet is 100%.

[0024] Therefore, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] (1) After steam heating and humidification, the oxygen is supplemented by controlling the circulating air pressure, and the moisture discharge is controlled, which accelerates the oxidation speed of the free lead of the polar plate, greatly shortens the curing time and shortens the whole curing time from 60 hours to 8 hours.

[0026] (2) The low-temperature curing method is adopted, 4BS is not added in the lead paste formula, and 4BS is not generated in the curing process, which is suitable for the rapid curing of the power battery polar plate. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0120] From the above results, it can be seen that, in the examples, the curing time can be significantly shortened using the method of the present application compared to the traditional curing method in Comparative Example 1, while the plate performance and rapid cycle life can be maintained at the same level as in Comparative Example 1. While ensuring the performance of the plates, the production efficiency can be greatly improved.
