Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In the field of lead-acid battery manufacturing, the cast welding process is a key technical link for forming the busbar of the pole group. The process forms the busbar by injecting molten lead liquid into the bottom mold cavity of the cast welding die and metallurgically combining it with the pole plate, wherein the rapid cooling and solidification process of the lead liquid directly determines the crystal structure and conductivity of the busbar. To ensure the cast welding quality, the existing technology generally adopts a bottom mold built-in cooling water channel structure, and forms a cooling water circulation path through an external water inlet pipe and a water outlet pipe. The electromagnetic valve on the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe controls the on-off, and after the cast welding is completed, the electromagnetic valve is opened to start the cooling circulation to accelerate heat dissipation. The water flows through the internal pipe of the bottom mold to take away the heat, and when the temperature of the mold drops to a set value, the electromagnetic valve is closed to stop the water flow.

[0003] In actual use, when the electromagnetic valve is closed, there will still be a lot of cooling water remaining in the cooling water channel of the bottom mold and cannot be discharged. When the mold enters the next heating stage, the remaining water will evaporate at high temperature. The water vapor evaporation needs to absorb a large amount of heat, which prolongs the mold preheating time and increases the energy consumption. The uneven distribution of the remaining water will cause the uniformity of the mold temperature to decrease, which further affects the uniformity of the lead liquid solidification and reduces the product pass rate.
