1260810 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 發明領域 本發明係相關於用以形成電池隔板組之裝置。 I[先前技術】 發明背景 在製造錯酸或相似之電池中,已知必須組裝電池隔板 組或疊以植入該電池盒之該等區隔。常常交替之隔板係被 多孔性之分隔材料所包住,雖然有時必須要將在該組中相 鄰之二隔板都包圍住或是有一對未經包圍之隔板。因此提 供一用於組裝適常隔板組之裝置,且典型地有一供給隔板 至一包裝器之-中央運送帶上游之上的上游隔板進料器, 該包裝器包圍住該等自該運送帶之階段而下之隔板。在該 15包裝器之下游備置一個或更多個隔板進料器以使得經z 的以及未經包圍的隔板之所欲的順序則往該運送帶之、 和動。在該主要運送帶之最後,該等隔板傳遞進入办 之運运可,其係被安排於在其各別之容器中接收該等戶教 之隔板組或疊。該堆疊運送帶具有一穿過一組操作襄^ 2〇緩衝區,該組操作裝置自該堆疊器移除該等經組裳 組且將其放置於一用於附體帶狀機(cast-on strap mach^ 之進料器,此時隔板組具有其尾端附體,在其被 =e) 池盒體之前。 、電 此種方式在過去曾良好運作 但在近幾年中,讀等咐 1260810 體機械及自該隔板組形成裝置而下之生產線的其它部份之 速度已顯著地增加,而因此需要更快速的供應已成形之隔 板組。 在初看之下,一個非習於此藝者可能簡單地想到的解 5決方法是買二個堆疊生產線以供應於該附體機械,但如此
10 15
除了增加成本之外’也直接地使仔人力加倍了,這種方法 在經濟上是不被此產業所接受的。因而已有增加現有裝置 之速度的企圖,特別是在於加倍該包裝器之上游及下游兩 者之隔板供給。已聲稱某些用於此方法之高速,就每分鐘 之隔板而論,但在貫際上,當以一產量為根據而執行該裝 置0守,是有明顯的限制的。這是因為在每分鐘約15〇個隔板 之上的速度下,該等隔板及包圍材料係傳送地如此快,以 致於空氣動力學之效應變得更加顯著,錢其更困難於控 制該裝置之正確順序’如果不是不可能的。此外,在轉移 的時點,在該隔板被該主要運送帶上之指狀物拾起之前, 其係被預期成為靜止狀態。在這些加快之速度時,該等隔 板通々JL非疋痛下來的。此造成之錯誤的時間點及錯誤 的配向將常常造成機械的塞擠,而且將被了解的是,在這 些非常快的鬚速度下,在該運送帶上的任何阻塞,將快 速地造成隔板的堆積’即使在用於察覺如此之塞擠的短暫 時間之内。 考务明内容】 發明概要 20 Ϊ260810 依據本發明,係提供一用以形成電池隔板組之裝置, 其包含至少第一及第二隔板供應線路,其各包含一分離站 及一下游隔板供應器;該裝置更包含一用於該包裝器之第 一共同隔板供應線路以及一用於該下游隔板供應器之第二 5 共同隔板供應線路。 申請人已了解到,藉由具有一對並聯之作用包裝器及 下游隔板供應态,可達到非常快速之隔板組形成,沒有任 一線路需要以會導致空氣動力學不穩定性之速度運轉,然 而藉由提供用於該等包裝器之共同隔板供應線路以及該等 10下游隔板供應器,其可維持和習知裝置相同之操縱程度。 在該裝置之有效期期間,因為人力成本遠遠地超過任何資 本碩,该方法驚人地克服先前所建議之解決方案的問題。 在一較佳實施例中,該分離站將是一隔板包裝器,但 相對地其可為一葉狀分離供應裝置或一高級玻璃塾形供 15應衣置或甚至是任何適用於提供分離之構件。 在一較佳實施例中,該裝置更包含用於交替地自各別 的堆豐為中拾起隔板組之隔板操作構件。 方便地,該等堆疊器包含一緩衝區,該等隔板組可自 其被拾起。 20 更特定較佳的是,每供應線路以每分鐘在80及150隔板 之間的速率運轉,且相信的是,每分鐘130隔板之速率能在 速度及定性之間提供一特佳的和譜。將被了解的是,在 那二N况下,该插作裝置每分鐘將有效地接收260個隔板, 其係貫質上超過由其它來源所提供之即使是最高的理論供 :1260810 應速率。 雖然本發明係如上文地界定,可了解的是,其包含任 何該等上述設定之特徵或以下敘述之特徵之發明性的組 合。 5 圖式簡單說明 本發明可以任何不同之方式執行,且特定之範例現將 依所附之圖示敘述,其中: 第1圖係一用於形成隔板組之傳統裝置的平面圖; 10 第2圖係為第1圖之習知改良裝置的平面圖; 第3圖係為本申請人特定裝置的平面圖; 第4圖係為第3圖之裝置的側視圖。 I:實施方式3 15 較佳實施例之詳細說明 在第1圖中,一用以形成隔板組之裝置係一般以10為指 示且包含一上游隔板供應器11、一包裝器12,一第一下游 隔板供應器13及一輔助隔板供應器14。可見的是,所有的 隔板供應器運送該等隔板至一依次供給一堆疊器16之主要 20 運送帶15之上,該運送帶運送隔板組至一緩衝區17内,其 中操作裝置(以18簡要地表示)橫向地轉移該等隔板組至一 用於未顯示之附體帶狀機的進料器19之上。 被注意到的是,各供應器11、13及14具有一進料運送 帶20。現今,需要各別之一工作人員以維持隔板之供應至 1260810 該進料運送帶20之上。因供應器14之使用係非經常的,該 工作於該供應器13進料運送帶2〇之工作人員也可維持該進 料供應器14。 在使用時,藉由該供應器丨丨通過該包裝器12(其係於此 .5被包圍的)供應包圍料至該主要運送帶15之上。就許多電池 而言,需要交替之經包圍的及未經包圍的隔板且因此該供 應器13插入一未經包圍之隔板於各經包圍之隔板之間。如 _ $在某些配置中所需要,若有時需要二未經包圍之隔板存 在於一對經包圍之隔板之間,那麼該供應器14傳送一額外 1〇之隔板另一方面,若需要一對經包圍之隔板直接相鄰於 彼此,那麼該供應器13則短暫地停止。 此安排係相當適當地運作高達每分鐘150片隔板。 。而,如上文已指出,一每分鐘15〇片隔板之速率係不 足於趕上現今所可達成之較佳的電池生產。一解決此問題 15之方法的企圖係表示於第2圖中,其中各進料運送帶2〇供應 φ 冑平仃供應、U,及13、13,,而可增加分配該等隔板至 .亥主要運迗冗15上之速率。其當然係可能以一每分鐘“Ο片 之速率放置隔板至該主要運送帶之上,且該等申請人已聲 稱母分鐘220>|隔板的速率是可達成的,雖然實際上他們仍 20未見其發生。然而,即使以每分鐘18〇片隔板之速率,該上 这之空氣動力學及沉降效應變得顯著,且極為困難於整個 生產循環中控制該機器。 I向第3及4圖’該等申請人利用雙重供應器u、1丨,及 b、13 ’但將其配置以分別供給主要運送帶μ、Μ,及包裝 9 丄26〇81〇 5 ❿ 10 15 20 裔12、12,,因此 片隔t 各運送帶15、15,只需要以一將每分鐘150 乃I同扳之運送速 運送帶15、15订進且較佳地不超過每分鐘130片隔板。 該緩衝區17。現^供料予堆疊器16、16,,堆疊器接著進入 足的速率操作之操作裝置18可被容易地改變為以一充 組,而且以此方替換地拾起由堆疊器16及16,形成之隔板 狀進料器19。、。應夕至母分鐘260片隔板至該附體帶雖然,供應該—士口口 有某些額外的資^、一匕裝器、主要運送帶及堆疊器將會 供料速率,^之成本,但該構形可達成先前無法達成之 送帶15、15,係在 可工作人力的增加。此外,每主要運 範圍之内;μ从 二乳動力學效應不表現或不明顯的速率 知作’且本申請人夕姐 之供應線路所能達到之,^構形具有—比若使用二分別 若仍^ 錄為小之覆蓋區。 而要更高之速率,可燁 、干」^加更多之供料器及運送帶。 【圖式簡寧說明】 弟1圖係一田 第2圖係為第=:广:統裝置的平面圖; :3圖係為本申請人特定裝;:置:::圖’ 第4圖係复妁十面圖, 罘圖之裝置的侧視圖。 【主要元件符號說明】 W.··裝置 1 · · •上為卩南板供應器 H’..·供應器 12··.包裝器 10 1260810 12’.·.包裝器 17·· _ 13…第一下游隔板供應器 18·· ' 13’...供應器 19·· 14…輔助隔板供應器 20.. . 15…主要運送帶 15’...運送帶 16...堆疊器 16’...堆疊器 .緩衝區 .操作裝置 .進料器 .進料運送帶
