Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lead-acid battery technology, specifically to a plate curing rack for automatic plate loading. Background Technology

[0002] Although lead-acid battery production has become automated, some processes still involve manual labor. For example, the assembly and packaging process, particularly the loading of plates onto the packaging machine, is currently mostly done manually by most manufacturers. When there are too many plates in a stack, each plate weighs an average of 120g, and a stack of 50 plates weighs 6kg. After a day's work, the workers' hands, palms, and overall health cannot be adequately protected. Furthermore, lead dust is emitted during this process, indirectly affecting blood lead levels.

[0003] There are three types of curing chambers in the electrode workshop: small, medium, and large. In the small curing chamber, the air intake is from the top and the exhaust is from the air screens on the left and right sides. Currently, most manufacturers stack the electrode plates horizontally in rows of 40-60, which prevents the heat inside the electrode plates from dissipating and makes ventilation poor, so the consistency of electrode plate curing cannot be effectively guaranteed.

[0004] For example, utility model CN202930475U discloses a battery plate curing rack, including multiple vertically erected support columns connected by crossbeams; plate hanging beams are connected between the crossbeams; each support column has a truncated cone at its upper end and a correspondingly smaller insertion port at its lower end; the plate hanging beams are square tubes arranged in two layers. In actual use, the plates are difficult to distribute evenly, resulting in some plates stacking, leading to uneven composition of the formed elements and moisture content after curing. Assembling such plates into a battery will result in poor battery consistency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides an electrode plate curing rack for automatic plate loading.

[0006] This utility model provides an electrode plate curing rack for automatic plate loading, comprising:

[0007] A placement plate is used to place electrode plates. The top surface of the placement plate has several electrode plate placement slots. The electrode plate placement slots are used to vertically place electrode plates. The number of electrode plates placed in each electrode plate placement slot does not exceed the number of electrode plates that the robotic arm used for automatic loading can grab at one time.

[0008] The columns, including multiple columns, are used to support the placement plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the top surface of the placement plate has a horizontally arranged bent plate with multiple consecutive bends, each bend forming an upward-facing V-shaped structure. The bent plate has baffles on both sides, and each V-shaped structure, in conjunction with the baffles on both sides, forms the electrode placement groove. The baffles are used to fix the electrode plates and maintain the balance of the entire stack of electrode plates.

[0010] Furthermore, the top surface of the placement plate has multiple bent plates, each bent plate is arranged side by side along the width direction, and adjacent bent plates share a common stop bar.

[0011] Furthermore, the bent plate is provided with vent holes. The vent holes help to remove the heat generated during the curing of the electrode plate and provide oxygen supply.

[0012] Furthermore, the ventilation holes include multiple holes, and the diameter of each ventilation hole is 1-6mm.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the electrode placement slots is used to place 40-80 electrode plates.

[0014] Furthermore, the pillars include four pillars located at the four corners of the placement plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the column has a bowl facing downwards. When the two electrode curing frames are stacked one on top of the other, the bowl of the upper electrode curing frame covers the top surface of the column of the lower electrode curing frame, which is beneficial for the stacking and positioning of the electrode curing frames.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] (1) This utility model provides an electrode plate curing rack for automatic plate loading, which realizes automatic plate loading before encapsulation, eliminates manual operation, and reduces harm to human health;

[0018] (2) The plate curing rack of this utility model can improve the consistency of plate curing. The plates are placed vertically, which is convenient for the robot to grasp and also facilitates heat dissipation, increases the bonding force between the lead paste and the grid, and effectively improves the battery life.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an electrode plate curing rack for automatic plate loading, including a placement plate 1 and a column 2.

[0026] The placement plate 1 is used to place the electrode plates. The top surface of the placement plate 1 has several electrode plate placement slots 11, which are used to vertically place the electrode plates.

[0027] Specifically, the top surface of the placement plate 1 has a horizontally arranged bent plate 12. The bent plate 12 has multiple consecutive bends, each bend forming an upward-facing V-shaped structure. Baffles 13 are provided on both sides of the bent plate 12. Each V-shaped structure, in conjunction with the baffles 13 on both sides, forms an electrode placement groove 11. The baffles 13 are used to fix the electrode plates and maintain the balance of the entire stack of electrode plates.

[0028] Multiple bent plates 12 can be installed on the top surface of the placement plate 1. Each bent plate 12 is arranged side by side along the width direction, and two adjacent bent plates 12 share a common stop bar 13.

[0029] The number of electrode plates placed in each electrode plate placement slot 11 shall not exceed the number of electrode plates that the robotic arm used for automatic plate loading can grab at one time. Preferably, each electrode plate placement slot 11 is used to place 40-80 electrode plates.

[0030] To improve ventilation efficiency, the bent plate 12 is provided with vent holes 14. The vent holes 14 help to remove the heat generated during the curing of the electrode plates and provide oxygen supply.

[0031] Generally, multiple vent holes 14 are provided, and the diameter of each vent hole 14 is 1-6mm.

[0032] The support column 2 comprises multiple columns for supporting the placement plate 1. Preferably, the support column 2 comprises four columns located at the four corners of the placement plate 1.

[0033] To facilitate the stacking and positioning of the electrode curing frames, the bottom of the column 2 has a bowl 21 with the opening facing downwards. When two electrode curing frames are stacked one on top of the other, the bowl 21 of the upper electrode curing frame will lock onto the top surface of the column 2 of the lower electrode curing frame.

[0034] In actual work, the coated electrode plates are placed vertically, and the robotic arm picks up the electrode plates and places them into the electrode plate placement slots 11 on the electrode plate curing rack; during assembly and encapsulation, the robotic arm picks up the electrode plates and puts them into the encapsulation machine to perform the encapsulation operation.
