Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrode tab finishing tooling technology, specifically a 1×6 structure lead-acid battery electrode tab finishing tooling. Background Technology

[0002] Lead-acid batteries are widely used in automotive starting, uninterruptible power supplies, and energy storage for communication base stations due to their low cost and high reliability. The 1×6 structure is the mainstream structure for automotive starting lead-acid batteries, which consists of six independent 2V cells connected in series to form a 12V rated voltage. The positive and negative tabs of each cell need to extend out of the top of the casing for subsequent busbar welding.

The width of the mold cavity matches the width of the terminals, and the fit gap is small. If the terminals are not uniform, the terminals may be damaged or the casting and welding height may be insufficient when the terminals are inserted into the casting and welding mold, which will affect the product quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to improve the tooling for the complete set of lead-acid battery terminals in order to solve the defects of the existing technology.

The electrode group mold box 24 is positioned directly below the electrode tab holder 6. The fixed mounting base plate 18 is fixedly mounted on the operating frame. The telescopic end of the second telescopic device 19 is fixedly mounted to the upper part of the electrode tab holder 6.

The two electrode ear pressure plates 5 have a limiting effect on the electrode group 25. During the process of aligning the protruding electrode ear 20, it prevents one side of the electrode group 25 from lifting. The length of the electrode ear pressure plate 5 is shorter than the length of the electrode ear clamp 10, so it will not hinder the alignment of the electrode ear clamp 10 with the protruding electrode ear 20.
