System for processing battery plates and arrangement thereof in the provided battery housing

Abstract

A system for processing battery plates and arrangement thereof in the battery housing, including transportation apparatuses and individual processing stations, such as insertion stations, tin bath, and a lead casting station. The battery plates which are to be processed are arranged as plate stacks in a plurality of clamping cassettes which are equipped with the plate stacks arranged in a vertically oriented transportation apparatus which rotates in a circle. The plate stacks and the individual processing stations rotate in a vertically oriented circular movement and can be supplied to the clamping cassette which is positioned in the processing station.

1 . A system for processing battery plates and arrangement of them in battery housings, consisting of transporting devices and individual processing stations, such as insertion stations, a tin bath, a lead casting station, the battery plates to be processed being arranged for the processing as plate stacks in a number of clamping cassettes provided for this purpose, wherein
 the clamping cassettes provided with the plate stacks are arranged in a transporting device that is vertically aligned and in this position turns in a circular manner,   in that the individual processing stations are arranged above, below and/or laterally outside the transporting device that turns in a vertically aligned circular movement and, from there, can be respectively brought up to the position of the clamping cassette positioned processing station.   
     
     
         2 . The system for processing battery plates and arrangement of them in battery housings as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein
 a flux station, with a drying device and tin bath and the tin bath of the flux station is fitted out a measuring system, which serves for measuring the tin level, and a tin wire feed, which is coupled thereto in terms of information technology,   a casting station for casting on the lead bridges, with a lead bath, in which a pump which serves for permanently equalizing the level of the molten lead is arranged between the immersion compartment and the melting vessel, and at least one overflow bead which regulates the level of the molten lead is arranged in the separating wall between the immersion compartment and the melting vessel, and   a boxing station for boxing the completely fitted-out battery plate stacks into the battery cases provided, with at least a threefold gripper system and a cleaning device which serves for the cleaning of the boxing frames with its spreaders,   are arranged as processing stations around the vertically aligned transporting device and movably in relation thereto by means of additional transporting devices arranged separately at the processing stations.   
     
     
         3 . The system for processing battery plates and arrangement of them in battery housings as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a separate turning device for the clamping cassettes, which for turning the clamping cassettes during the transport to the next processing station, is arranged on the vertically aligned and circularly turning transporting device. 
     
     
         4 . The system for processing battery plates and arrangement of them in battery housings as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the measuring system, which is arranged in the tin bath and serves for measuring the tin level, is formed as an eddy current measuring system. 
     
     
         5 . The system for processing battery plates and arrangement of them in battery housings as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each processing station has if need be a separate transporting device of its own, serving for moving back and forth in relation to the transporting device. 
     
     
         6 . The system for processing battery plates and arrangement of them in battery housings as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cleaning device is formed a brush and/or spray head system,  this system being arranged on over movement device with a number of turning and movement axes.
