Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a mechanism for correcting the posture of a cast grid for a storage battery before sending it to the next process such as trimming.

Conventionally, this type of correction mechanism includes a flat guide plate whose one end is pivoted and a stopper located at the other end and which can be moved up and down.The operation thereof will be explained as follows. That is, when the cast lattice body that has been separated from the mold and transported by a conveyor or the like is placed on the guide plate, the guide plate rotates about the axis and tilts, so that the lattice on the guide plate The body slides forward. In this way, when the tip of the grid body hits the stopper, the posture of the grid body is automatically corrected. Next, when the stopper in the raised position is lowered, the grid body whose posture has been corrected as described above further slides down on the guide plate and is sent to the next process such as trimming.

However, the conventional correction mechanism described above has a drawback in that when the grid body slides down on the guide plate and hits the stopper, the grid body bends and deforms due to the impact.

The present invention provides a correction mechanism that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks, and will be described below based on one embodiment.

FIG. 1 shows a side view of the mechanism of the present invention, and in the figure, 1 denotes a guide plate configured to be freely tiltable by an appropriate drive mechanism such as a cam or cylinder, with one end as a fulcrum;
Reference numerals 2, 2', and 2'' indicate a plurality of conveying endless belts that rotate in the direction of feeding the grid bodies 4 arranged in parallel to the guide plate 1, and the guide plate 1 is connected to the belts 2,
2', 2'' have flat surfaces for placing the grid body in the traveling direction.3 is rotated by the belt and slides along the belt to place the grid body 4.
Depending on the length a, the upper surface of the guide plate 1 and the belt 2,
An adjustment roll for adjusting the effective distance c of the belt by changing the position of the line of intersection with 2' and 2'', in other words, the position b where the belt attempts to sneak under the guide plate. , 5 is a tension roll, 6 is a drive roll, 7 is a driven roll, and 8 is an adjuster bolt for adjusting the position of the tension roll 5.

Next, the operation of the mechanism of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 2 to 4. First, the cast lattice body 4 separated from the mold is placed in an irregular position as shown by the dashed line, and the endless belts 2, 2 of the guide plate 1 When you get on top of ′,2″,
The grid body 4 is fed by the belt in approximately the same posture until one shoulder d reaches the position b of the intersection line (see FIG. 2).

Therefore, when the grid body 4 comes to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. Since the intermediate part d' of both shoulders d and d'' is moved to the position b of the intersection line, the posture of the grid body is automatically partially corrected using one shoulder d as a fulcrum (Fig. 3). (See.) In the same way as above, next, the other shoulder d'' of the grid body 4 is fed only by the belt 2'', so this time the posture of the grid body is finally adjusted with the intermediate portion d' as the fulcrum. Corrected (see Figure 4).

When the posture of the grid body 4 is completely corrected in this way, the guide plate 1 is tilted downward as a fulcrum on the driven roll 7 side, so the grid body 4 slides down on the guide plate 1 for trimming, etc. Therefore, it is sent to the next process.

According to the present invention, the posture of the lattice body is corrected by the action of the plurality of endless belts for conveyance disposed on the guide plate as described above, so there is no possibility that the lattice body will be deformed during correction as in the conventional case. is completely resolved. In particular, when an adjustment roll is attached to the belt so that the effective distance of the belt can be adjusted by changing the position of the intersection line between the upper surface of the guide plate and the belt as shown in the above embodiment, casting It has the advantage of being able to accommodate various changes in the length of the grid.

As described above, the present invention provides a correction mechanism for a storage battery grid casting machine that eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and has great industrial value.
