Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a sealed storage battery such as a sealed lead acid battery.

Conventional Technology Generally, sealed lead-acid batteries range in capacity from small (1Ah) to large capacity (1000Ah), and are used as emergency power sources for various devices, as well as for backup of office automation equipment and for cycle service. These batteries are installed in various devices or in special storage racks or panels, but care must be taken when installing them, especially in the case of large-capacity types, as they are heavy. Normally, the battery is lifted and placed on a predetermined pedestal and fixed to the pedestal, but in places where it is difficult to place the battery, several people are required to install it, or a lift or the like is used. At this time, the batteries are suspended and transported using belts or ropes to prevent them from falling.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: In particular, when lifting a battery with a large capacity type, there is no grip on the battery surface, and the battery is lifted up using the protrusions on the battery surface, such as poles or exhaust pipes, which should not be subjected to force. I end up moving it.

Furthermore, since sealed storage batteries are position-free, it is theoretically possible to use them horizontally, even if they are large-capacity types intended for stationary use. However, even when the battery is used horizontally, the life span varies greatly depending on the orientation of the electrode plates inside the battery. That is, due to long-term use, a difference in the electrolyte concentration between the upper and lower levels, so-called stratification, occurs, leading to an early decrease in battery capacity.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention solves the above problems, and is a sealed storage battery in which the battery element is composed of a group of parallel electrode plates, and the upper surface is arranged parallel to the plane of the electrode plates. It is characterized by having a handle.

Function The present invention has the above-mentioned features, and because of the handle arranged with the top surface parallel to the electrode plate surface, the electrolyte of the sealed storage battery stays between the electrode plates and is difficult to move inside the battery. The battery arrangement can be specified, and the battery can be installed in the correct posture during use, which suppresses the occurrence of concentration differences between the upper and lower parts of the battery and accurately prevents stratification.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described.

In a stationary sealed lead-acid battery 1 of 300Ah/2V type in which the battery element consists of a group of parallel electrode plates, handles 3 and 3' are provided at both ends of the lid 2 to hold the storage battery with the upper surface as the upper surface when the battery is erected. A recess 5' is provided at one end of the lid 2 on the same side as the recess 5 on the bottom of the storage battery as a handle for gripping the storage battery with the side surface parallel to the upper surface when placed horizontally, and fingers can be hooked into the recesses 5, 5'. It can be installed horizontally with the handle 3, just in case.
On the 3' side is the "upper surface when erected", and on the recessed part 5, 5' side,
Display portions 4, 4', 6, and 6' were provided, respectively, on which "Top surface when placed horizontally" was printed or a sticker was attached.

Effects of the invention As mentioned above, the present invention has a handle that is arranged with the top surface parallel to the electrode plate surface, so that the battery can be installed in the correct orientation during use to ensure prevention of stratification of the electrolyte. The fact that it can be done is of great practical value.
