Detailed ways

The present invention will be further described below with reference to the specific drawings.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lead-acid battery of the present invention comprises a battery case 1, a pole group 2 placed in the battery case 1, the pole group 2 and a pole plate are formed, and the pole plate is provided with a pole lug 3, and the pole lug is carried out. The connected busbars 10 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , the mold 4 includes a mold shell 5, and a cavity 6 is arranged in the shell 5. The cavity 6 is used to receive the body to be welded, such as the body to be welded, such as the pole group 2, and the cavity 6 is provided with a fusible Metal 7, the fusible metal 7 is preferably metal lead, and a positive electrical connection port 8 and a negative electrical connection port 9 are formed on the shell 5 of the mold 4, and the positive electrical connection port 8 and the negative electrical connection port 9 are respectively connected with the fusible metal 7. The two ends 7a and 7b are electrically connected, and the positive electrical connection port 8 and the negative electrical connection port 9 are electrically connected to the external power supply through wires. The metal lead of the present invention can use lead of different shapes and sizes, such as lead strips or lead wires, as required, but does not achieve better hot-melting effect, the cross-sectional size of the metal lead can be as small as possible, and the length dimension can be as large as possible, so that Metal lead has high resistance and good thermal melting effect. As another embodiment, the positive electrical connection port 8 and the negative electrical connection port 9 on the shell 5 of the mold 4 can be replaced with microwave sources such as electromagnetic waves or other wave sources that can heat and melt metals at corresponding positions. In addition, in order to achieve a better thermal fusion effect, a positive electrical connection port 8 and a negative electrical connection port 9 and a wave source can be simultaneously provided on the shell 5 of the mold 4 to achieve thermal fusion of metal lead.

As shown in FIG. 4 , a method for connecting pole plates of a lead-acid battery includes the following steps: the tabs 3 of the pole group go deep into the cavity 6 of the mold 4 (for the metal lead 7 can be shown in FIG. The ear 3 has not yet penetrated into the bottom of the cavity 6); the positive electrical connection port 8 and the negative electrical connection port 9 on the shell 5 are connected to an external power supply (not shown in the figure) through wires, and the metal lead in the cavity 6 of the mold 4 is When electrified, due to the passage of the current in the metal lead and the resistance of the metal lead itself, the temperature of the metal lead continues to rise, and the metal lead continues to melt into liquid lead. The current through the ear and the surface resistance of the electrode through the current are large, so that the temperature of the electrode through the current rises, and the lead oxide and lead sulfate on the surface of the electrode will fall off from the surface of the electrode, which is conducive to the melting of the liquid lead and the electrode plate. The tabs are fused, and because the density of lead oxide and lead sulfate is lower than that of liquid lead, they will eventually float on the surface of liquid lead; disconnect the external power supply; after the liquid lead is cooled and solidified with the tabs, the mold 4 is demolded . Lead oxide and lead sulfate will eventually form on the surface of the busbar formed after the liquid lead is cooled, and have little effect on electrical conductivity.

The pole group 2 of the present invention can be put into the battery case 1 for all the grooves, and then the pole lugs 3 of the pole group 2 are deeply inserted into the cavity 6 of the mold 4 for mold welding; it can also be the pole lugs of the pole group 2 3 After welding and demoulding, put it into the battery case 1 and put it all into the groove. In addition, since the weight of the mold is much lighter than the weight of the body to be welded, such as the pole group, the way for the pole lugs 3 of the pole group 2 of the present invention to penetrate into the cavity 6 of the mold 4 is preferably the mold 4 to the pole group 2. The direction of the tabs 3 is moved, and in order to prevent liquid lead from dripping onto the body to be welded, such as the pole group, during welding, it is preferable that the mold 4 is located below the tabs 3 of the pole group 2 . Of course, the way in which the pole lugs 3 of the pole group 2 of the present invention penetrate deep into the cavity 6 of the mold 4 can also be that the mold 4 moves in the direction of the pole lugs 3 of the pole group 2 from above. 4 has a cavity 6, and the cavity 6 is used to place a fusible metal such as lead (not shown in the figure), the cavity 6 has a bottom 12, and a pole ear hole 11 is formed on the bottom 12, and the mold 4 is directed to the poles of the pole group 2 from above. The direction of the tab 3 moves, that is, the tab 3 passes through the tab hole 11 , and the bottom 12 of the cavity 6 realizes isolation and sealing of the tab to be welded and the tab below. The mold 4 can be installed on the battery case or on the body to be welded, such as the tab, or fixed by other means. By energizing and melting the metal lead, on the one hand, the invention realizes the melting of the metal lead, and on the other hand, effectively removes impurities such as lead oxide and lead sulfate on the surface of the tab to ensure the welding effect, and eliminates the need for a traditional welding machine. Disadvantages of surface grinding.

As another way, the metal lead in the cavity 6 of the mold 4 can also be heated by microwaves to form liquid lead, which can also achieve the purpose of the present invention.
