Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of lead-acid battery production and processing technology, and relates to a lead-acid battery electrode plate processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The electrode plate is a crucial component of a lead-acid battery. Its base is a lead grid, which is coated with lead paste to form the electrode plate. Since both the grid and the lead paste are lead products, lead dust easily accumulates on the plate surface during the lead paste application process. This lead-rich dust, carried by the wind, has become a source of pollution in the production site. Currently, the government strictly regulates the lead-acid battery manufacturing industry, and manufacturers across the country place great emphasis on environmental management at their production sites, installing corresponding air purification devices as required. However, these measures only address the symptoms and do not fundamentally eliminate the pollution source. Therefore, excessive lead pollution is unavoidable at the production site. Because lead dust is extremely harmful to human health, it is essential to eliminate lead dust at its source to ensure the health of on-site employees. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lead-acid battery electrode plate processing device that solves the problem of floating powder on existing electrode plates posing a health hazard to employees.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A lead-acid battery electrode plate processing apparatus includes a transmission component, a spraying component, an air-cooling component, and a collection box; the transmission component is adapted to sequentially and individually hoist and transport lead-acid battery electrode plates; the spraying component includes a drive mechanism and a nozzle, the nozzle being connected to sulfuric acid to form a spray, the input end of the drive mechanism being connected to a sulfuric acid source, and the output end being connected to the nozzle; the air-cooling component is configured to supply air to the surface of the electrode plate after the electrode plate receives the sulfuric acid spray; the collection box is disposed below the electrode plate and is adapted to receive dripping sulfuric acid.

[0006] Furthermore, the nozzle is a fan-shaped nozzle.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a liquid pump.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a panel, a controller, and an electrically controlled valve, wherein the electrically controlled valve is installed at the inlet of the nozzle, the input end of the controller is electrically connected to the panel, and the output end of the controller is electrically connected to the electrically controlled valve.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a flow meter disposed between the inlet of the nozzle and the electrically controlled valve.

[0010] Furthermore, the air-cooling assembly includes several fans.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] After sampling several electrode plates of the same specification and batch, the weight of the brushed-off floating powder is collected to obtain the average weight of the floating powder attached to each electrode plate. Based on this weight, the volume of sulfuric acid required for a certain concentration can be calculated. The transmission component of this invention performs single-plate hoisting and transmission of the electrode plates. During the transmission process, sulfuric acid is quantitatively sprayed onto the surface of the electrode plates through the spraying component. When the sulfuric acid comes into contact with the floating powder, it releases a large amount of heat, and the resulting lead sulfate can adhere to the surface of the electrode plates. The released heat is used for drying, and the subsequent cooling is achieved using an air-cooling component. The dripping sulfuric acid is collected through a collection box. This invention removes the floating powder while also preventing negative impacts on the lead-acid batteries because the electrolyte used in the subsequent lead-acid batteries also contains sulfuric acid. This solves the problem of floating powder on existing electrode plates posing a health hazard to employees. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0024] As described in the background section, the electrode plate is a crucial component of a lead-acid battery. The base of the electrode plate is a lead grid, which is coated with lead paste to form the electrode plate. Since both the grid and the lead paste are lead products, lead dust easily accumulates on the surface of the electrode plate during the lead paste coating process. This lead-rich dust, carried by the wind, has become a source of pollution at the production site. Currently, the government strictly regulates the lead-acid battery manufacturing industry, and manufacturers across the country attach great importance to environmental management at their production sites, configuring appropriate air purification devices as required. However, these measures only address the symptoms and do not fundamentally eliminate the pollution source. Therefore, excessive lead pollution inevitably occurs at the production site. Because lead dust is extremely harmful to human health, it is essential to eliminate lead dust at its source to ensure the health of on-the-job employees.

[0025] Based on this, the inventor has created a lead-acid battery electrode plate processing device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0026] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0027] Example

[0028] Please see Figure 1 A lead-acid battery electrode plate processing apparatus includes a transmission component 10, a spraying component 20, an air-cooling component 30, and a collection box 40. The transmission component 10 is adapted to sequentially and individually hoist and transport the lead-acid battery electrode plates 50. This reduces corrosion of the transmission component 10 itself during sulfuric acid spraying.

[0029] The spraying assembly 20 includes a drive mechanism 21 and a nozzle 22. The nozzle 22 is connected to sulfuric acid to form a spray. The input end of the drive mechanism 21 is connected to the sulfuric acid source 23, and the output end is connected to the nozzle 22. Here, for lead-acid battery plates 50 of the same batch and specifications, several samples can be taken. This allows for targeted spraying of sulfuric acid content, thus avoiding resource waste and excessive corrosion of the plates 50 themselves. For example, a brush can be used to brush off the floating powder on all plates 50 and collect and weigh it to obtain the floating powder weight of a single plate 50. Here, the floating powder weight of a single plate 50 is relatively low, and the measurement error is large for a single plate. Taking multiple samples with a large weight can reduce the measurement deviation. For example, the nozzle 22 can be a fan-shaped nozzle, and the sprayed liquid forms a straight line on the plate 50. The drive mechanism 21 includes a liquid pump.

[0030] The air-cooling assembly 30 is configured to supply air to the surface of the electrode plate 50 after the electrode plate 50 receives sulfuric acid spray; the collection box 40 is disposed below the electrode plate 50 and is adapted to receive dripping sulfuric acid.

[0031] After sampling several electrode plates 50 of the same specification and batch, the weight of the brushed-off floating powder can be collected to obtain the average weight of the floating powder attached to each electrode plate 50. Based on this weight, the volume of sulfuric acid required for a certain concentration can be calculated. The transmission component 10 of this invention performs single-piece hoisting and transmission of the electrode plate 50. During the transmission process, sulfuric acid is quantitatively sprayed onto the surface of the electrode plate 50 through the spraying component 20. After the sulfuric acid comes into contact with the floating powder, it can release a large amount of heat, and the generated lead sulfate can adhere to the surface of the electrode plate 50. The released heat is used for drying. Subsequently, the air-cooling component 30 is used for cooling. The dripping sulfuric acid is collected through the collection box 40. While removing the floating powder, this invention will not have a negative impact on the lead-acid battery because the electrolyte used in the subsequent lead-acid battery also contains sulfuric acid. This solves the problem of the floating powder on the electrode plate 50 posing a health hazard to employees.

[0032] In another embodiment, the system further includes a panel, a controller, and an electrically controlled valve 24. The electrically controlled valve 24 is installed at the inlet of the nozzle 22. The input terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the panel, and the output terminal of the controller is electrically connected to the electrically controlled valve 24. With this configuration, parameters such as flow rate can be input to the panel, and the controller can control the opening and closing of the electrically controlled valve 24, thereby controlling the flow rate of sulfuric acid on the input electrode 50, resulting in greater automation.

[0033] In another embodiment, a flow meter 25 is also included, disposed between the inlet of the nozzle 22 and the electrically controlled valve 24, to facilitate precise control of the output sulfuric acid flow rate.

[0034] In another embodiment, the air-cooling assembly 30 includes a plurality of fans.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
