JPS59196561A - Device for removing paste of plate for lead storage battery - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a device which can automatically clean and remove the excess paste adhering to parts of a plate for a lead storage battery other than the surface of a base body during the time when the plate is sent on a feeding conveyer. CONSTITUTION:A raw plate 1 in which a paste is packed and which is sent on a feeding conveyer 2, is stopped by a stopper 6 installed on a given position of the feeding conveyer 2. Interlockingly with the stoppage of the raw plate 1, a front and a rear air cylinder 7 and 10 operate causing piston rods 8 and 11 to be extended forward by the air pressures of the air cylinders 7 and 10. When the piston rods 8 and 11 are extended, washing brushes 9 and 12 installed at the ends of the piston rods 8 and 10 sweep and run over the surfaces of the grips 3 and 3' and the lug 4 of the plate 1 as well as the surfaces of the feet 5 and 5' of the plate 1. After that, when the front and the rear air cylinders 7 and 10 start pressure-reducing operation, the piston rods 8 and 11 sweep and run over the surfaces of the grips 3 and 3', the lug 4 and the feet 5 and 5' again when they contract and are restored. As a result, the excess paste adhering to the surfaces of the grips 3 and 3', the lug 4, the feet 5 and 5' and the like is cleaned and removed entirely during the reciprocating movement of the piston rods 8 and 11.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in an apparatus for removing excess paste from lead-acid battery electrode plates.

Conventionally, when filling paste in lead-acid battery electrode plates, workers had to remove it manually, but the workers had to check the state of excess paste adhering to the ears, feet, etc. each time, and However, it has many drawbacks, such as requiring a large amount of man-hours to remove excess paste and being unfavorable in terms of environment.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is carried out on a conveyor that moves a raw plate after paste filling (the electrode plate before drying and smoking is called a raw plate) in a 110th order constant direction in a horizontal prone state. Due to the stopper installed in the middle,
The conveyance is temporarily stopped, and while the conveyor is stopped, a cleaning brush installed on the side of the conveyor, which is attached to the air stone rod, is swept back and forth over the surfaces such as the handles, ears, and feet of the raw boards. The cleaning brush is equipped with a device that cleans, washes, and removes excess paste that adheres to the body, ears, feet, etc., and a water pipe is installed in the cleaning brush to allow cleaning water to flow through it, so that the cleaning brush can be used at all times. (≧ It is like clear water flowing through the comb.

△ 1 is a raw board whose substrate has been filled with paste by a paste filling machine (not shown), and is laid horizontally on a conveyor 2 in the direction of movement of the conveyor 2.
is transported in the direction of the dotted arrow.

3.3' is a handle part protruding from one side of the raw board 1, 4 is a lug part, 5.5' is a foot part protruding from the other side of the raw board 1, 6
is a stopper that is moved in and out from below to above in the middle of the conveyor 2, and when the stopper 6 suddenly appears above the conveyor 2 at regular intervals, #1 of the raw board 1 in the middle of the conveyor transition It serves the purpose of stopping the process. 7 is a front air cylinder installed on one side of the conveyor 2; 8 is a piston rod disposed in the air cylinder 7; 9 is a cleaning brush attached to the tip of the piston rod 8; 10 is a cleaning brush attached to the tip of the piston rod 8; Conveyor 2
a rear air cylinder installed on the other side of the
is a piston rod disposed in the air cylinder 10, and a cleaning brush 12 is attached to the tip. In addition, water pipes through which cleaning water flows are provided inside both the cleaning brushes 9 and 12, and the water is constantly flowing therethrough. An example of the operation of the device according to the present invention will be described.

The raw board 1 filled with paste and transported on the transport conveyor 2 is gradually moved in the direction of the dotted line arrow while lying horizontally with the handle NI 3.3', the ears 4 facing forward, and the feet 5.5' facing backward. However, a stopper 6 installed at a certain location on the conveyor 2 moves vertically from below to above at regular intervals in conjunction with the drive of the conveyor 2, thereby increasing the mT progression of the raw plate 1. Block it and stop it. In this way, similar to the upward movement of the stopper 6, this also works in conjunction with the upward movement of the front air cylinder 7.
Then, the rear air cylinder 0 is operated, and the air pressure causes the piston rod 8.11 to extend in the mI direction, that is, in the direction of dotted arrows A and B. At the time of the extension, the cleaning brush 9 attached to the tip of the piston rod 8, Handle part 3
．． 3r and the surface of the ear part 4, and the part air cylinder 7
When the rear air cylinder 0 starts to depressurize the mouth, the piston rod 8.11 is about to contract and when it returns to its original state, the cleaning brush 9 is moved again to the handle part 3.3', the ear part 4, and the cleaning brush 12 is moved to the foot part. Roasted 5.5! During the back-and-forth cleaning, excess paste adhering to the surfaces of the handle 3, 3', ear 4, foot 5, 51, etc. is thoroughly cleaned and removed. The cleaning is reliably performed by the droplets of the washing water, and the excess paste adhering to the handle portion 3.3', the ear portion 4, the foot portion 5.5', etc. can be completely removed.

Thus, the piston rod 8.11 returns to its original position with a force "
6 At the same time, the stopper is also moved downward in conjunction with the stopper, so that the green plate 1 on the conveyor 2 is no longer stopped and is conveyed forward again.

The arrangement position of the rear air cylinder 0 can be moved at will to accommodate the length and size of the raw board 1.

As described above, the present invention is capable of automatically cleaning and removing excess paste that adheres to surfaces other than the substrate surface by putting it into a cylinder while moving on a conveyor, thereby greatly reducing the number of work steps during the IL manufacturing process. It also has great industrial value, as it has a great effect on the environmental hygiene of workers.
