Cast-on-strap mold and method for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time
The present invention relates to a cast-on-strap mold and a method for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time. The cast-on-strap mold for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time is disposed with a cavity and a fixing bolt that correspond in size and position to the embedded member are disposed therein, a positioning aperture is disposed thereon, and the embedded member, the positioning aperture and the fixing bolt correspond to one another. The method for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time uses a cast-on-strap mold for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time and it comprises the following steps: install the embedded member into the cast-on-strap mold and secure it in position by the fixing bolt, cast and weld the terminal post and the plate pack, and then loosen the fixing bolt to take out the cast and welded terminal post and plate pack. The present invention increases the effects of the strength and the connection of the plate pack, the terminal post and the embedded member which are formed in one piece at one time, and it also significantly increases the capacity of the storage battery for conducting high electric current. The production steps are saved. The cost of production is lowered. The level of automation and the quality of the production can be enhanced.
Cast-on-strap mold and method for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a cast-on-strap mold and a method for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time, which are mainly used in the production of storage batteries of high capacity.
In the prior art, the common method of producing a terminal post for a storage battery is to cast it with an embedded member as its head, and then weld the head of the terminal post to a plate pack. When the capacity of the storage battery is relatively high and the working current exceeds a certain level, and as the relatively poor connection of the plate pack and the terminal post during welding leads to insecure connection and high contact resistance, when the power output is relatively high, the storage battery burns out easily. Further, the welding process is complicated, the cost of production is high and the level of automation is low. All these adversely affect the quality and the power output of the storage battery.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn view of the aforesaid disadvantages now present in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a cast-on-strap mold and a method for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a cast-on-strap mold for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time, which is characterized in that a cavity and a fixing bolt that correspond in size and position to the embedded member are disposed therein, a positioning aperture is disposed thereon, and the embedded member, the positioning aperture and the fixing bolt correspond to one another.
The present invention further comprises a method for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time, which is characterized in that a cast-on-strap mold for producing a terminal post comprising an embedded member at one time is used and the method comprises the following steps: install the embedded member into the cast-on-strap mold and secure it in position by the fixing bolt, cast and weld the terminal post and the plate pack, and then loosen the fixing bolt to take out the cast and welded terminal post and plate pack.
The casting and welding of the terminal post and the plate pack of the present invention comprises the following steps: immerse the cast-on-strap mold into a molten lead alloy, take out the cast-on-strap mold and cool it down to the temperature for casting and welding, immerse the part of the plate pack to be connected to the terminal post into the molten lead alloy in the cast-on-strap mold, and the molten lead alloy in the cast-on-strap mold cools down to form a welding layer to unite the terminal post and the plate pack together in one piece.
In comparison with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and effects: As the terminal post is formed at one time and is cast and welded to the plate pack at the same time, it increases the effects of the strength and the connection of the plate pack, the terminal post and the embedded member which are formed in one piece at one time, and it also significantly increases the capacity of the storage battery for conducting high electric current. The highest power output is about 30 percent higher than the original power output. The production steps are saved. The cost of production is lowered. The level of automation and the quality of the production can be enhanced.
