Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vertical battery charging station design with acid circulation.
  • the present invention particularly relates to a vertical battery charging station which makes it possible to automatically charge a plurality of batteries at the same time in a relatively narrow vertical multi-storey area, particularly in the production of car batteries.
  • Charging stations which is a significant stage in the production of car batteries is an important production procedure for charging the batteries. Maintaining the general battery working principles, they may have different shapes and sizes. However, filling the batteries with acid and electrically charging them is a quite important operation in the battery production. A high quality and rapid battery charging operation influences both the quality of the batteries produced and the production costs.
  • the heating problem is typically eliminated by charging the batteries in a cold water pool.
  • this method substantially reduces the production speed. Since the battery charging pools in which the batteries are charged according to the prior are typically water-cooled pools, the batteries are to be brought here, charged accordingly and they have to be waited for until they cool down while they are charged. This waiting period leads to loss of time, and different battery charging pools must be formed to increase the production speed. This, in turn, gives rise to additional production areas and increases the labor costs.
  • An advantageous of the vertical battery charging station according to the present invention is that the cooling procedure is carried out by means of circulating the acid present in the batteries. Instead of introducing acid into a battery and cooling the battery externally according to the prior art, acid is circulated here during charging so that the acid and therefore the batteries are protected from heating. Thus, no cold water pools will be required for cooling down the batteries.
  • Another advantage of the vertical battery charging station according to the present invention is that the procedures requiring manpower are only limited to carrying the batteries to battery carrier cassettes and to providing acid and electrical connections at the battery carrier cassettes. At the end of the procedure, it only requires the removal of said connections. Thus, the manpower requirement is minimized.
  • Another advantage of the vertical battery charging station according to the present invention is that once the batteries are loaded onto battery carrier cassettes, they are transferred to charging shelves arranged top on top, and after the charging procedure is completed, they are removed from the shelves using automatic control systems so that a huge gain is obtained in terms of operation and production area.
  • a further advantage of the battery charging station according to the present invention is that automatic distribution systems are used, wherein acid is taken and distributed from acid tanks with different concentrations and different qualities in order to carry out the acid circulation procedure which takes place by respectively introducing and removing acid into/from the batteries standing on the shelves.
  • Still a further advantage of the vertical battery charging station according to the present invention is that the procedures of sending the batteries to shelves, making their acid and electrical connections there, supplying acid and electricity, circulating the acid, removing the connections following the charging procedure and sending the batteries to an operator can be performed in an automatic manner.

  • Figure 13 gives a perspective schematic view showing the pipe connections when the battery cassette (7) is removed from the elevator table (9a).
  • Figure 13a provides schematic views of nozzles (22) of a different design than those connected to the batteries which are proper for the moving filling pipe (16) and moving discharge pipe (17). It should be emphasized that these schematic views are given only to make clear the general concept of the system, and that the designs and sizes given in these figures are subject to alteration.
  • the vertical battery charging station with acid circulation is particularly for use in battery production.
  • the management and operation of the station may either be computer controller, or be carried out by electronically, electro- mechanically or mechanically designed automatic control systems.
  • the materials used in said battery charging station can be metallic, plastic, composite materials, etc. which have adequate resistance against acidic medium. Devices necessary to collect any acid drops and leaks in the battery charging system, as well as necessary air circulation fans to remove acid steams or to provide air circulation and additional cooling systems may be added to the system. The entirety of such a complete system, or a part thereof can be used in any kind of battery production systems.
