Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of storage battery production technology, and in particular relates to a cooling water tank for storage battery production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of lead-acid batteries, the plates reach very high temperatures after processes such as casting and welding or through-wall welding. A rapid and uniform water cooling process is essential to stabilize the welds and prevent plate deformation, which is crucial for ensuring the final quality and lifespan of the battery. Currently, the industry commonly uses a conveyor chain to carry the batteries through an open cooling water tank for cooling.

[0003] However, traditional cooling water tanks have significant technical drawbacks. The cooling water inside the tank is essentially in a relatively static or disordered flow state, relying mainly on natural heat exchange. This leads to a series of problems: First, cooling efficiency is low; the boundary layer water temperature on the battery surface, especially the sides, rises rapidly and is difficult to remove in time, forming an "insulating layer" that greatly reduces heat exchange efficiency. Second, cooling uniformity is poor; batteries in different locations, and even different sides of the same battery, experience inconsistent cooling intensities, easily leading to uneven product performance. Finally, to achieve the required cooling effect, a large amount of cooling water and a high-power refrigeration system are often required, resulting in a huge waste of energy and water resources.

[0004] In existing technologies, although attempts have been made to improve water flow by adding water pumps to force circulation, this method often results in a chaotic flow field, failing to provide a stable, controllable, and efficient cooling path for each battery. Furthermore, it easily creates short-circuit flow within the tank, causing most of the cooling water to be lost before sufficient heat exchange with the batteries, thus limiting the improvement effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a novel cooling water tank structure that can guide the cooling water to flow in a directional and orderly manner, continuously flushing the main heat dissipation surfaces on both sides of the batteries, thereby achieving efficient, uniform cooling and energy and water conservation. Therefore, this utility model designs a cooling water tank for battery production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cooling water tank for battery production. By designing staggered guide plate assemblies on the inner walls of both sides of the tank, the cooling water flowing through it is forced to form a zigzag turbulent flow with alternating directions on the side of the battery. This solves the problems of low cooling efficiency and poor uniformity caused by the single direction of water flow and severe boundary layer stagnation in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: The present utility model relates to a cooling water tank for storage battery production, comprising storage batteries, a conveying chain plate for conveying the storage batteries, and a cooling water guide tank mechanism; the conveying chain plate is assembled inside the cooling water guide tank mechanism, and at least one row of storage batteries is evenly arranged on the conveying chain plate; the cooling water guide tank mechanism comprises a tank body and a staggered guide plate assembly; the inner wall of the tank body is uniformly and fixedly installed with the staggered guide plate assembly for alternately changing the flowing direction of cooling water on the side surfaces of the storage batteries; the staggered guide plate assembly comprises a staggered guide plate A and a staggered guide plate B; the staggered guide plate A and the staggered guide plate B are respectively and fixedly installed on a pair of opposite inner side walls inside the tank body, and the staggered guide plate A on one inner side wall of the tank body and the staggered guide plate B on the other inner side wall of the tank body are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0007] Wherein, the storage batteries are positioned on the conveying chain plate and are continuously and slowly conveyed, two side surfaces of each storage battery are in sequential and alternating contact with the staggered guide plate A and the staggered guide plate B in the staggered guide plate assembly respectively, and the gaps between the two side surfaces of the storage battery and the staggered guide plate assembly can also be blocked by flow-resisting brushes; the staggered guide plate A and the staggered guide plate B are arranged in a staggered manner, so that they are alternately arranged on the two side walls of the tank body respectively, thereby forcing the cooling water to form alternating flow paths on the side surfaces of the storage batteries, increasing turbulence and improving cooling efficiency.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the spacing M between every two adjacent staggered guide plates A is equal; the spacing N between every two adjacent staggered guide plates B is equal; the spacing L between every two adjacent evenly arranged storage batteries is equal, and the width of the storage battery in the conveying direction is H; the spacing M is also equal to the spacing N, and the values of the spacing M and the spacing N both satisfy H<M<3H+2L, H<N<3H+2L, and 2L<H; the optimal value range is: the values of the spacing M and the spacing N are both around 2H+2L; the function of this design is to ensure that the cooling water can fully flow over the surfaces of the storage batteries, avoid dead water areas, and at the same time ensure that the water flow rate is moderate, so that the cooling effect will not be reduced due to an excessively large spacing, nor will the resistance be increased due to an excessively small spacing.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the front end of the tank body is fixedly communicated with a water inlet pipe, and cooling water is continuously supplemented inside the water inlet pipe; the rear end of the tank body is provided with a water overflow port, and the water overflow port discharges the cooling water that has passed by the side surfaces of the storage batteries.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the tank body is fixedly installed with a baffle below the storage batteries; the baffle blocks the cooling water below the top surface of the conveying chain plate as much as possible to reduce the leakage flow at this position, so as to ensure the fluidity of the cooling water on the side surfaces of the storage batteries, and the baffle is provided with an avoiding groove at the position of the conveying chain plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, flow-blocking brushes are uniformly fixedly installed on the relief groove and the staggered guide plate assembly; the flow-blocking brushes are made of fine bristles of animal hair, plant fiber or plastic material; the flow-blocking brushes fill and block the gaps at the relief groove and the staggered guide plate assembly to a certain extent.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the conveyor chain plate is uniformly arrayed with supporting vertical plates along the conveying direction, and the top of the supporting vertical plates is in contact with the bottom of the battery; the function of the supporting vertical plates is to ensure the flow of cooling water on the bottom surface of the battery.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the conveyor chain plate is provided with several rows of limiting placement grooves; the limiting placement grooves are located above the support vertical plate; the limiting placement grooves are used to ensure the uniformity of the placement of each row of batteries, so as to avoid large gaps between the side of the battery and the staggered guide plate assembly due to skewed placement, which would result in excessive leakage at other positions and failure to ensure the flow of cooling water on the side of the battery.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a baffle plate is fixedly installed between each pair of adjacent columns of the limiting placement slots; the baffle plate blocks the gap between each pair of adjacent columns of batteries.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the top of the staggered guide plate assembly is uniformly provided with overflow ports; the overflow ports are located below the safe water level of the battery to ensure that the cooling water does not rise to the safe water level of the battery and to prevent the acid injection port and other parts on the top of the battery from being submerged in cooling water.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, by designing staggered guide plate assemblies on the inner walls of both sides of the tank, forces the cooling water to form a zigzag flow path on the side of the battery; it achieves the function of continuously breaking the high-temperature water boundary layer on the surface of the battery, and has the advantages of ensuring that the cooling water alternately and fully washes the main heat dissipation surface of the battery from both sides, thereby achieving rapid and uniform heat exchange and avoiding local overheating and uneven cooling.

[0017] 2. This utility model constitutes a complete flow obstruction system by installing baffles below the conveyor chain, adding flow-blocking brushes to the guide plates and clearance grooves, and installing baffles between the battery rows. This minimizes the ineffective loss of cooling water from non-heat exchange areas such as battery gaps and the bottom of the chain, forcing the cooling water to flow concentratedly through a pre-set heat exchange path. Thus, while ensuring cooling effect, it significantly reduces cooling water consumption and the energy consumption of the refrigeration system.

[0018] 3. This utility model ensures that the batteries are neatly arranged by the limiting placement groove on the conveyor chain plate, avoiding leakage problems caused by excessive gap between the battery and the guide plate due to battery tilting; at the same time, the overflow port at the top of the staggered guide plate assembly can stabilize the water level below the safe water level of the battery, effectively preventing the cooling water from submerging the top terminal post, ensuring product quality and production safety.

[0019] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
