Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery production technology, and in particular to an acid soaking basket for use in an automated production line for lead-acid batteries. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of lead-acid batteries, the concentration gradient distribution of sulfuric acid solution during the acid immersion process is difficult to control precisely. This may lead to inconsistent curing reactions of lead paste in different areas of the electrode plate, affecting the porosity and uniformity of the active material structure of the electrode plate. Therefore, a stable and fixed acid immersion tank is required in the acid immersion station for battery electrode plates. In order to ensure output, the acid immersion tank in the acid immersion station occupies a large amount of production plant space and generates a large amount of waste acid. In addition, workers need to periodically operate to remove the battery electrode plates that have completed acid immersion from the acid immersion tank. This results in low production efficiency, harsh working environment for workers, high site costs and waste liquid treatment costs, and strict control of the concentration consistency in different acid immersion tanks.
[0003] Currently, a more advanced production method is to use automated production lines with acid immersion tanks. This eliminates the need for workers to directly enter the acid immersion station. Instead, it uses an automatic conveyor clamp combined with the acid immersion tank to immerse each batch of plates into the tank and then automatically remove them at set intervals. This eliminates the need for large acid immersion tanks and makes acid concentration adjustment and waste discharge management more efficient. However, since each batch of plates to be acid-immersed has a certain number of plates, the automatic conveyor clamps used in existing automated production lines can only lift them one by one. During the lifting and conveying process, individual plates are prone to shaking, resulting in uncontrollable entry positions and affecting the quality of the acid immersion. The high requirements for clamping accuracy and the number of clamps lead to complex operation, high equipment costs, and hinder widespread application. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model addresses the problems mentioned in the background art by providing an acid-soaking basket for an automated production line of lead-acid batteries. During the conveying process, the electrode plates are firmly fixed, the conveying process is stable, the control precision and quantity requirements of the fixtures are reduced, and the equipment cost is low.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An acid-soaking basket for an automated production line of lead-acid batteries, characterized in that it includes an acid-soaking basket body, wherein the acid-soaking basket body is a rectangular plastic box with an opening at the top.
[0007] The pickling basket body has several evenly distributed circular through holes on the end plates of both ends along its length, and the bottom plate of the pickling basket body also has several evenly distributed circular through holes, so that when the pickling basket is placed in the pickling tank, the acid in the tank can flow evenly into the pickling basket.
[0008] The inner side of the two side plates of the acid-soaking basket body in the width direction is provided with several evenly distributed vertical slots, which are used to install each electrode plate to be acid-soaked into the slots and fix it to prevent adjacent electrode plates from sticking together and shaking too much.
[0009] To facilitate clamping by the conveying clamping device, a handle is provided at the center of the port on each of the two end plates along the length of the pickling basket body.
[0010] A further solution is that the diameter of the circular through holes on the two end plates and the bottom plate of the pickling basket body is 15mm-25mm, so that when immersed in the pickling tank, the acid in the pickling tank can flow into the pickling basket body at a suitable speed.
[0011] A further solution is to ensure that the acid in the pickling basket can flow out quickly when it is removed from the pickling tank, and to provide several evenly distributed rectangular through holes at the bottom of each slot along the slot direction.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it provides an acid-soaking basket for easy clamping and loading in an automatic acid-soaking production line for battery plates, which can ensure uniform acid distribution during immersion and rapid acid discharge upon removal. The plates are firmly fixed during transport, and the transport process is stable. It reduces the control precision and quantity requirements of the clamps, significantly reduces the number of clamps and control precision requirements, effectively reduces equipment construction and operation costs, and has promotional application value.
