Abstract
Description
A battery panel ear brush flux tooling Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery technology, and relates to lead-acid batteries for automobiles, specifically a device used in the battery assembly process. Background Technology
[0002] Lead-acid batteries are widely used in industries such as manufacturing and transportation. During production, lead-acid batteries require casting and welding to connect plates of the same polarity into a single busbar. To ensure the quality of the casting and welding, an appropriate amount of flux needs to be applied to the lugs to improve the welding effect between the lugs and the busbar. The amount of flux should not be excessive; a thin layer is sufficient.
[0003] Currently, the process involves first using a wire brush to remove and polish the oxide layer on the lugs, then applying flux to the lugs with a sparse brush, and finally brushing away excess flux with a dense dry brush. However, continuous dry brushing results in a large amount of flux adhering to the lugs, rendering it ineffective at removing excess flux. Before casting, a significant amount of liquid flux remains on the lugs. During the casting process, the liquid flux evaporates into gas upon heating, and the busbar alloy solidifies rapidly. The gas cannot escape in time and remains inside the busbar, forming numerous pores, affecting the casting quality and battery lifespan. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the current flux brushing process for battery plate lugs, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a flux brushing fixture for battery plate lugs to solve the problem of excessive flux residue affecting the quality of casting and welding.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is: a battery panel ear brush flux fixture, including a slide rail with limit at both ends, a mounting base movably set on the slide rail, a wire brush, a flux brush and a flux box and a dry brush arranged sequentially and at intervals on the mounting base, characterized in that: a drying device is provided directly above the non-working position of the dry brush.
[0006] The drying device described in the technical solution of this utility model is a hot air blower with the air outlet facing downwards.
[0007] The mounting base of the dry brush mounting position described in the technical solution of this utility model is provided with a through hole.
[0008] In the technical solution of this utility model, the through holes are hollowed-out through holes evenly distributed below the dry brush.
[0009] In the technical solution of this utility model, the wire brush, flux brush, and dry brush are all fixed on the mounting base by support rods.
[0010] In the technical solution of this utility model, the wire brush, flux brush, and dry brush are all mounted on the upper end of the support rod via a rotating mechanism.
[0011] The mounting base described in the technical solution of this utility model is provided with a slide groove that cooperates with the slide rail and a drive mechanism that allows the mounting base to move left and right relative to the slide rail.
[0012] The driving mechanism described in the technical solution of this utility model is a cylinder.
[0013] In the technical solution of this utility model, the flux box is installed on the mounting base below the flux brush.
[0014] In the technical solution of this utility model, the lower part of the flux brush is located below the flux liquid level inside the flux box.
[0015] This invention adds a drying device to the existing battery panel lug brush flux fixture, which consists of a slide rail, mounting base, wire brush, flux brush, flux box, and dry brush. The slide rail has limiters at both ends, and the mounting base is movably mounted on the slide rail. The wire brush, flux brush, flux box, and dry brush are sequentially spaced on the mounting base. The drying device is positioned directly above the dry brush when it is not in use. Therefore, even when the dry brush is not in use, the drying device continuously dries it, ensuring that it remains dry and warm during operation. This effectively removes excess liquid flux from the lug and improves the welding quality.
[0016] This invention has the advantages of better removing excess liquid flux from the lugs and improving the quality of casting and welding. It is mainly used for brushing flux onto the lugs of lead-acid batteries before casting and welding. Attached Figure Description

[0020] It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., depicted in the accompanying drawings of this specification are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this utility model, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this utility model. Furthermore, the terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of implementation of this utility model.
[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, one embodiment of the battery panel ear brush flux fixture of this utility model consists of a wire brush 2, a flux brush 3, a flux box 4, a dry brush 6, a mounting base 7, a limiter 8, a slide rail 9, a drying device 5, a cylinder 10, a motor 11, and a chain 12.
[0022] The slide rail 9 has limit switches 8 at both its left and right ends. The limit switch 8 at the left end is used to limit the position in the working state, and the limit switch 8 at the right end is used to limit the position in the non-working state. The slide rail 9 supports the mounting base 7 and allows the mounting base 7 to slide left and right along the slide rail 9.
[0023] The mounting base 7 is equipped with a sliding groove and a drive mechanism that mates with the slide rail 9. The drive mechanism is a cylinder. The mounting base 7 can slide left and right on the slide rail 9 via the drive mechanism. When it slides to the left limit 8, it is in the working position, and when it slides to the right limit 8, it is in the non-working position. The mounting base 7 has through holes at the mounting position of the dry brush 6. The through holes are evenly distributed perforated holes below the dry brush 6 to facilitate air circulation during drying and to drip off excess flux.
[0024] Wire brush 2, flux brush 3, and dry brush 6 are respectively mounted and fixed on mounting base 7 via support rods, and are distributed sequentially at intervals on mounting base 7. Wire brush 2, flux brush 3, and dry brush 6 are all mounted on the upper end of their respective support rods via a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes a motor and a chain, and is connected to motor 11 via chain 12. When the motor rotates, it drives wire brush 2, flux brush 3, and dry brush 6 to rotate in the direction of the arrow. Motor 11 controls dry brush 6, and another motor controls wire brush 2 and flux brush 3.
[0025] The flux box 4 is installed on the mounting base 7 below the flux brush 3. The lower part of the flux brush 3 is below the flux liquid level inside the flux box 4, and the flux box 4 contains flux.
[0026] The drying device 5 is installed directly above the dry brush 6 when it is not in operation. The drying device 5 is a hot air blower with the air outlet facing downwards, blowing high-speed hot air downwards.
[0027] During the flux application process, wire brush 2, flux brush 3, and dry brush 6 rotate in the direction of the arrow. The mounting base 7 drives each brush to move horizontally to the left, sequentially brushing the lugs of electrode plate 1 to brighten them, apply flux, and remove excess flux, stopping when they reach the left limit 8.
[0028] During the flux drying process, the wire brush 2 and flux brush 3 stop rotating, while the dry brush 6 continues to rotate. The mounting base 7 drives each brush to move horizontally to the right. After reaching the limit 8 at the right end, the drying device 5 blows high-speed hot air onto the dry brush 6 to blow off the flux adhering to the dry brush 6 and dry it.
[0029] After the next batch of electrode plates 1 arrives, the flux will be applied. After that, the dry brush 6 will be dried again.
