Method for manufacturing lead-acid battery

摘要

Provided herein is a lead-acid battery for which the risk of breakage of a current collecting lug part of a plate while in use is eliminated by simple means. At least a positive plate group of the lead-acid battery includes: one or more plates each including a current collector having a current collecting portion formed by expanding or punching a lead alloy sheet manufactured by cold rolling, and one or more current collecting lug parts unitarily formed with the current collecting portion; and a strap formed by a cast-on strap casting method and coupled to the one or more current collecting lug parts. The current collecting lug part is formed with an elongated protrusion extending in a direction away from the current collecting portion. The elongated protrusion continuously extends in a direction toward the current collecting portion of the plate from inside the strap.

主权项

1. A method for manufacturing a lead-acid battery, the method comprising:
manufacturing at least one negative plate comprising a current collector; manufacturing at least one positive plate comprising a current collector, the manufacture of the at least one positive plate comprising:
preparing a cutting machine including a first cutting die disposed on a cutting base and having one or more elongated concave portions, and a second cutting die having one or more elongated convex portions corresponding to the one or more elongated concave portions;placing on the first cutting die a lead alloy sheet including a portion where the current collecting portion is to be, or has been, formed and a portion where one or more current collecting lug parts are to be formed such that a direction in which the portion where the one or more current collecting lug parts are to be formed extends away from the portion where the current collecting portion is to be, or has been, formed coincides with a direction in which the one or more concave portions extend; andmoving the second cutting die toward the first cutting die to form the one or more current collecting lug parts by cutting the lead alloy sheet, and at the same time pressing the one or more convex portions into the one or more concave portions to form one or more elongated depressions and one or more elongated protrusions on and in each of the one or more current collecting lug parts; providing a plate group comprising the at least one negative plate and the at least one positive plate; forming a strap coupled to the at least one positive plate by a cast-on strap casting method comprising immersing a portion of the one or more elongated protrusions of the one or more lug parts of the at least one positive plate into molten lead before the molten lead solidifies.
