[0024] In this embodiment, the lead-tin alloy anode casting mold is a tool for electrochemical casting of lead-tin alloy anodes. Its main working principle is to use the electrical conductivity and good corrosion resistance of the lead-tin alloy to pour the lead-tin alloy liquid electrolyte into the mold to form a lead-tin alloy anode through an electrolytic reaction. The use method is as follows: first, ensure that the surface of the lower base plate 8 and the upper base plate 1 is smooth and clean, then melt the lead-tin alloy and slowly and evenly pour it into the casting groove 2 between the outer retaining ring 9 and the inner retaining ring 11 through the casting bucket 4 to fill the casting groove 2 on the entire mold. A certain proportion of other alloy elements is added to improve its corrosion resistance and conductivity, and the lead-tin alloy electrolyte is slowly poured into the mold. The outer anti-overflow ring 10 can prevent the lead-tin alloy electrolyte from overflowing the mold, and then the power is turned on to allow current to pass through the lead-tin alloy and electrolyte in the mold to form a lead-tin alloy anode. The current intensity and time can be adjusted as needed to control the formation speed and quality of the lead-tin alloy anode. When the lead-tin alloy anode is completely formed, it can be taken out of the mold for subsequent use and processing. At the same time, attention should be paid to safety to avoid electric shock and splashing of lead-tin alloy liquid.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the lifting ring 6 is welded to the upper base plate 1, and the lifting ring 6 is welded to the support beam 14. The upper base plate 1 can be removed from the lower base plate 8 by removing the lifting ring 6. The outer retaining ring 9 is welded to the upper base plate 1, and the baffle 15 is welded to the outer retaining ring 9. The baffle 15 is arc-shaped, and the baffle 15 can be connected and closed with the inner retaining ring 11. The support beam 14 is integrally connected to the upper base plate 1, and the support beam 14 can be clamped with the lower base plate 8.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner positioning block 7 and the outer positioning block 12 are welded to the lower base plate 8, and the inner positioning block 7 and the outer positioning block 12 can limit and position the position of the support beam 14, the anti-overflow ring 10 is welded to the lower base plate 8, the joint plate groove 13 between the anti-overflow ring 10 and the inner retaining ring 11 can place the upper base plate 1, the inner retaining ring 11 is welded to the lower base plate 8, the reinforcing rib 3 is welded to the inner retaining ring 11 and the lower base plate 8, the inner retaining ring 11 can form a casting groove 2 with the outer retaining ring 9, and a handle 5 is provided on the casting bucket 4, and the casting bucket 4 can be used to cast into the casting groove 2.

[0027] Preferably, through the settings of the upper bottom plate 1, the lower bottom plate 8, the outer retaining ring 9, the inner retaining ring 11 and the plywood groove 13, when workers use this mold, they need to first fit the plywood grooves 13 on the upper bottom plate 1 and the lower bottom plate 8, so that the outer retaining ring 9 and the inner retaining ring 11 form a pouring groove 2. Then, the workers can place the pouring hopper 4 on the pouring groove 2 and add the lead-tin alloy electrolyte into the pouring groove 2 through the pouring hopper 4. Finally, the lead-tin alloy anode is cast into shape. Through the setting of the baffle 15, when the inner retaining ring 11 and the outer retaining ring 9 are fitted together, the baffle 15 can be docked and fitted with the inner retaining ring 11, which can prevent the lead-tin alloy electrolyte inside the pouring groove 2 from flowing out from both ends of the pouring groove 2 and ensure the casting forming effect of the lead-tin alloy anode. This mold can use a single material of lead-tin alloy for one-time casting, avoiding the casting method of adding a skeleton support to the inside of the lead-tin alloy anode. Thus, the current loss between different materials of the skeleton material and the lead-tin alloy is eliminated. While enhancing the electrical conductivity of the anode strip itself, it can also prevent the corrosion of the skeleton material.

[0028] Preferably, through the settings of the disassembly lifting ring 6, the support beam 14, the inner positioning block 7, the outer positioning block 12 and the anti-overflow ring 10, after the casting of the lead-tin alloy anode is completed, the worker can remove the upper bottom plate 1 from the lower bottom plate 8 through the disassembly lifting ring 6, and finally remove the lead-tin alloy anode in the pouring groove 2 from the lower bottom plate 8. Through the mutual cooperation among the inner positioning block 7, the outer positioning block 12 and the support beam 14, the upper bottom plate 1 and the lower bottom plate 8 can be accurately and quickly installed during installation. It can not only prevent the lower bottom plate 8 and the upper bottom plate 1 from being misaligned during mold closing, resulting in casting failure, but also improve the efficiency of the casting work. The anti-overflow ring 10 can prevent the poured lead-tin alloy electrolyte from flowing outwards, which can ensure the forming effect during the lead-tin alloy casting to a certain extent. The settings of these structures make this horizontal casting mold have the advantage of being convenient to disassemble, and at the same time, it can also avoid the problem of porosity during casting.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.
