[0030] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1-2 As shown in the drawings, the present application is a kind of lead storage battery formation cooling device, including second roller conveyor 200, first roller conveyor 100 and third roller conveyor 300 arranged in sequence, and material transfer mechanism A2 is arranged between first roller conveyor 100 and second roller conveyor 200, material transfer mechanism B3 is arranged between second roller conveyor 200 and third roller conveyor 300, and first roller conveyor 100 is installed into a cooling water tank 1 in actual installation, so that the storage battery is placed on the second roller conveyor 200 during use, transported to the end after completing the acid addition and transferred to the first roller conveyor 100 under the action of material transfer mechanism A2, then transported to the end of the first roller conveyor 100 and transported to the third roller conveyor 300 under the action of material transfer mechanism B3, and then the storage battery transported on the first roller conveyor 100 is cooled by the cooling water tank 1 during use.

[0031] Specifically, when in use, it is convenient to control the transfer of batteries by setting the material transfer mechanism A2 and the material transfer mechanism B3, such as Figures 4-5 The material transfer mechanism A2 and the material transfer mechanism B3 provided by the present invention have the same structure, both including a crossbeam 20 arranged along the conveying direction of the second roller conveyor 200, a T-shaped slide rail 21 is fixed to the bottom side of the crossbeam 20, an electric slider 22 is installed on the T-shaped slide rail 21, the electric slider 22 is connected to a vertically installed telescopic structure A23, the end of the telescopic structure A23 is connected to a connecting frame 24; an L-shaped support arm 27 is installed on the connecting frame 24.

[0032] Based on the above settings, in order to facilitate the use of material transfer mechanism A2 and material transfer mechanism B3 to control the transfer of batteries during use, the material transfer mechanism A2 is first controlled to move to the end of the second roller conveyor 200, and the L-shaped support arm 27 is controlled to pass between the two adjacent rollers of the second roller conveyor 200. When in use, the support surface of the L-shaped support arm 27 is lower than the conveying surface of the second roller conveyor 200. After the battery moves to the top of the L-shaped support arm 27, the telescopic structure A23 is controlled to contract and drive the battery to move upward. After the electric slider 22 moves along the length direction of the T-shaped slide rail 21, the material transfer mechanism A2 is controlled to move to the feeding end of the first roller conveyor 100. At this time, the telescopic structure A23 is controlled to extend to the L-shaped support arm 27 to pass between the two adjacent rollers of the first roller conveyor 100, and the support surface of the L-shaped support arm 27 is lower than the conveying surface of the first roller conveyor 100. After the battery is controlled to move out under the action of the first roller conveyor 100, the material transfer mechanism A2 is controlled to restore its initial position.

[0033] In order to facilitate the use of the battery supported on the L-shaped support arm 27 and prevent the battery from slipping off the L-shaped support arm 27 during movement, one side of the connecting frame 24 is connected to a movable plate 251 that moves in the horizontal direction through a telescopic structure B25, and one side of the movable plate 251 is connected to a guide rod 26, and the end of the guide rod 26 is connected to the L-shaped support arm 27; a clamping block 28 is installed at the end of the L-shaped support arm 27, and a through hole is provided on the clamping block 28 for the end of the L-shaped support arm 27 to pass through, and a locking bolt A is provided on the clamping block 28 for fixing the L-shaped support arm 27 inserted into the through hole; then, the battery placed on the L-shaped support arm 27 is clamped by the cooperation of the clamping block 28 and the connecting frame 24 during use; and because the clamping block 28 can be replaced in the horizontal direction of the L-shaped support arm 27, it can adapt to batteries of different sizes.

[0034] Based on the above, in order to facilitate the control of the L-shaped supporting arm 27 in the horizontal direction during use, the connecting frame 24 is a U-shaped groove plate, and the connecting column 241 is connected between the opposite two inner walls of the U-shaped groove plate; a guide hole for the guide rod 26 to pass through is arranged on one side wall of the U-shaped groove plate, and a guide column is arranged on the other inner wall, and the end of the guide rod 26 is provided with a guide socket matched with the guide column; the guide column penetrates through the guide hole and extends to the outside of the U-shaped groove plate.

[0035] Embodiment 2: based on embodiment 1, as Figure 6 In order to facilitate the detection of the position of the battery on the first roller conveyor 100, the second roller conveyor 200 and the third roller conveyor 300 during use, and then control the material transfer mechanism A2 and the material transfer mechanism B3 to perform corresponding actions according to the position of the battery.

[0036] A position detection module A is arranged at the discharge end of the first roller conveyor 100 and the second roller conveyor 200; a position detection module B is arranged at the inlet end of the first roller conveyor 100 and the third roller conveyor 300; the position detection module A includes a pair of gap arranged detection units A, and the position detection module B includes a detection unit B; the detection unit A and the detection unit B are the same structure, and each includes an infrared emission module 201 and an infrared receiving module 202 arranged oppositely; and the rack of the first roller conveyor 100, the second roller conveyor 200 and the third roller conveyor 300 is provided with a bracket 10 for mounting the infrared emission module 201 or the infrared receiving module 202.

[0037] In order to realize the automatic feeding and discharging operation of the battery cooling, the present application further comprises a controller connected with the first roller conveyor 100, the second roller conveyor 200, the third roller conveyor 300, the position detection module A, the position detection module B, the material transfer mechanism A2 and the material transfer mechanism B3.

[0038] In use, the working principle of the position detection module A is as follows:

[0039] When the light path formed by the infrared emission module 201 or the infrared receiving module 202 close to the inlet end of the first roller conveyor 100 is blocked, the L-shaped supporting arm 27 needs to be controlled to pass through the adjacent two rollers of the first roller conveyor 100 or the first roller conveyor 100 needs to be stopped; after the L-shaped supporting arm 27 passes through the adjacent two rollers of the first roller conveyor 100, when the light path formed by the other detection unit A is blocked, the material transfer mechanism B3 is controlled to transfer the material to the L-shaped supporting arm 27 passing through the adjacent two rollers of the third roller conveyor 300, and then when the light path formed by the detection unit B is blocked, it indicates that the battery moves out from above the L-shaped supporting arm 27 of the material transfer mechanism B3.

[0040] In order to improve the cooling effect and control the water temperature during use, the application is provided with a plurality of water inlet pipes 19 arranged through the bottom of the cooling water tank 1 located directly below the first roller conveyor 100. Figure 1 And 3 A plurality of drainage hoses 11 are arranged through the bottom of the cooling water tank 1 located on both sides of the first roller conveyor 100, and the ends of the drainage hoses 11 are connected to the side wall of a square pipe 12. A rectangular opening 13 is arranged on one side of the square pipe 12. The bottom end of the water inlet pipe 19 is connected to the bottom of a water supply tank through a water supply hose, and the water supply hose is provided with a flow regulating valve. The bottom end of the drainage hose 11 is connected to the top of a recovery tank, and a water pump is arranged in the recovery tank to pump the cooling water in the recovery tank to the water supply tank. During use, the water supply tank supplies water through the water inlet pipe 19, and the cold water discharged from the end of the water inlet pipe 19 impacts the bottom of the battery and is discharged from both sides of the battery, thereby disturbing the water on the side of the battery as a whole, avoiding local temperature rise due to relative static water, and improving the cooling effect as a whole. That is, the dynamic water circulation is formed by the water inlet pipe 19 and the drainage structure of the square pipe 12, and the cooling water uniformly flows over the battery, improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0041] During use, the plurality of water inlet pipes 19 are arranged along the conveying direction of the first roller conveyor 100. The length direction of the square pipe 12 is the same as the conveying direction of the first roller conveyor 100.

[0042] In order to adjust the liquid level according to the different sizes of the battery, that is, the different heights, so as to submerge the battery under the liquid level as much as possible, the square pipe 12 is arranged horizontally, and the upper surface edge side of the square pipe 12 is connected to a vertical plate A 14. The top of the vertical plate A 14 is connected to a vertical plate B 16 through a connecting part 15. The vertical plate B 16, the vertical plate A 14 and the connecting part 15 cooperate to form a U-shaped clamping plate structure, and the two inner walls of the U-shaped clamping plate structure are respectively in contact with the inner and outer wall surfaces of the cooling water tank 1. A rectangular notch 17 is arranged on the vertical plate B 16, and a locking bolt B 18 is threadedly connected to the outer wall surface of the cooling water tank 1 and abuts against the vertical plate B 16. During use, the height of the square pipe 12 is adjusted by controlling the vertical plate B 16 to move up and down in the vertical direction, that is, the liquid level in the cooling water tank 1 is adjusted. The cooling water circulation system reduces resource consumption, and the rectangular opening 13 of the square pipe 12 prevents impurities from blocking.
