Abstract

In order to be able to grip, clamp and lift stacks of plates and sheets, which consist of vertically oriented individual plates and individual sheets lying on and pressed flat against one another and which have different dimensions, in carrying and handling stations without having to reconfigure them, a load-bearing device is needed which has a simple structure, can be infinitely adjusted, is equipped with an appropriate drive and possesses large clamping and frictional forces, and can be used as an outer gripper on vertical clamping faces. A drive module (2) in the form of an electromotively driven linear drive (4), three angle- and scissor-joint lever assemblies (5) which are arranged symmetrically one below the other, and a gripping finger load-bearing device (8), which can be adjusted and readjusted by means of said lever assemblies and has opposing, clamping, rod-shaped and rigid gripping fingers (10), are mounted on a frame (1). The invention can be used in particular for packing battery modules provided in stack form into battery containers.

Abstract

The invention relates to a lubricant spray system and to a lubricant application method for treating the inner surfaces of insertion and assembly aids in a packing station. In order to efficiently treat the the inner surfaces of hollow bodies with continuous openings with the lubricant spray using the lubricant spray system, a combination of related methods and systems of the lubricant application and use in a system with directly consecutive steps is required. The lubricant spray system (1), which is equipped with a suction device, comprises a spray station (2), a mounting station (4) and a spray station (3) between which an adjustment and sliding frame element (5), designed as an insertion and mounting aid, is arranged. According to the invention, after spraying the lubricant (20), the parts to be introduced into the hollow body openings can be subsequently inserted and slidingly moved (22) in a smooth and damage-free manner. A particular area of application is the packaging of battery plate packs (13) in battery containers (14).

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.

Abstract

An installation for producing batteries is disclosed, having a lead bath station with two heatable and mobile lead bath carriages arranged in an assignable manner at the stationary lead melting pot. Both carriages having a pumping-sucking device that serves for the changing of the lead bath. Molten lead is pumped out of the lead pot into an empty carriage. Both the pumping-sucking devices are arranged pivotably about the axis of rotation (B) and the pivot pin that is fixedly arranged on the carriage is arranged such that it can be separately pivoted about the axis of rotation (A), thus, making it possible for the suction tube and a discharge tube to be moved between the carriage and the led pot.

Abstract

The invention relates to a cleaning tool for a robot arm in order to clean threaded holes, stud bolts and surfaces, inter alia, on machine and motor vehicle underbody structures by means of compressed air nozzle technology, the robot arm being equipped with a pneumatic rotation unit and components for connection to the robot arm. A torque-support structure (1) for accommodating a rotatably mounted pneumatic spray nozzle (2) and the further arrangement of a pneumatic bolt-cleaning nozzle (3) are disposed on the end of the robot arm. Cleaning tools of this type are predominantly required for cleaning mechanical engineering and motor vehicle underbody structures in order to remove impregnated material and machining material residues in preparation for further processing. These different objects can be achieved by the solution according to the invention with a single cleaning tool for a robot arm.

Abstract

In the case of an installation for producing batteries, at the lead bath station two heatable and mobile lead bath carriages are arranged in an assignable manner at the stationary lead melting pot for changing the hot lead bath, one of the two carriages containing the second lead bath. On both carriages, a pumping-sucking device that serves for the changing of the lead bath is arranged. The lead is pumped in the molten hot state out of the lead pot into the empty carriage. Since both the pumping-sucking device is arranged pivotably about the axis of rotation (B) and the pivot pin that is fixedly arranged on the carriage is arranged such that it can be separately pivoted about the axis of rotation (A), and since the pumping-sucking device with the suction tube and pump discharge tube arranged thereupon is in connection with the fixedly arranged pivot pin of the carriage by way of a connecting pin with a lifting device, it is thus possible for the suction tube to be lifted out of the pot and at the same time the pump discharge tube to be lifted out of the carriage, and the pump with the suction tube and pump discharge tube arranged thereupon is turned both about the axis of rotation (A) and about the axis of rotation (B) and positioned in a basic position on the carriage.
