Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery production, in particular to a negative pressure formation device. Background Art

[0002] Lead-acid battery is a storage battery whose electrodes are mainly made of lead and its oxides, and whose electrolyte is sulfuric acid solution. When the lead-acid battery is discharged, the lead dioxide at the positive electrode and the spongy lead at the negative electrode are converted into lead sulfate; when charged, the lead sulfate at the positive and negative electrodes are converted into lead dioxide and spongy lead respectively.

[0003] Formation is a key process in the production of lead-acid batteries. Through charging and discharging, the positive active material is converted into lead dioxide, and the negative active material is converted into spongy lead. There are two common formation methods, plate formation and battery formation. Plate formation, also known as tank formation and external formation, inserts the positive and negative raw plates alternately into the formation tank, and the plates of the same polarity are arranged on the same side to form a multi-pole positive and negative electrode group for charging and forming mature plates. The battery is assembled with the formed mature plates. Non-dry-charged batteries also need to go through the acid addition and charging process. Battery formation, also known as internal formation, also known as "cadmium-free internal formation process", is to directly assemble the battery after the solidified and dried battery plates are cut and then acid is added to the battery for charging to obtain the finished product. Since the internal formation process eliminates the discharge of acid wastewater generated by tank formation in the production process of lead-acid batteries, the internal formation process is more environmentally friendly than the external formation process, so the internal formation process is gradually promoted and used in lead-acid battery production plants.

[0004] Whether it is plate formation or battery formation, it needs to go through the acid addition and charging process. Acid addition is a process in which a sulfuric acid solution enters the battery from an acid adding machine through an acid adding pot. Valve-regulated lead-acid batteries usually use vacuum negative pressure technology for acid addition. In recent years, vacuum negative pressure technology has also been gradually adopted for battery formation processes. In order to make the internal formation effect better, it is best to use negative pressure formation technology during the internal formation process. Negative pressure formation technology refers to the battery being charged and formed in a closed environment using a large current, and using a vacuum pressure device to remove the heat and acid mist generated during the formation. During the internal formation process, it is best to use negative pressure to discharge the gas inside the lead-acid battery and add acid to the lead-acid battery at the same time. It is also best to be able to control the acid injection speed. At present, it can only be done manually by pumping negative pressure and using an acid adding machine to control acid addition. The workload is large and the production efficiency is low. It is difficult to achieve large-scale production and needs further improvement.

[0005] Therefore, it is currently necessary to further improve the negative pressure extraction, acid extraction and acid addition processes in negative pressure formation. Utility Model Content

[0029] The driving mechanism 6 is arranged on the bracket and is used to drive the pressing block 4 to move. During negative pressure formation, the driving mechanism 6 drives the pressing block 4 to move to the corresponding acid-adding hose, negative pressure hose or acid extraction hose, and the pressing block 4 squeezes the hose onto the supporting surface 5 to close the hose. By controlling the closing of each hose, the integrated control of the acid-adding, negative pressure extraction and acid extraction processes is realized to improve the production efficiency.
