BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, lead-antimony based alloys containing about 3 to 6% by weight of antimony (hereinafter expressed as %) have been used for grids for lead-acid batteries. Although storage batteries using such grids show excellent performance during deep charge/discharge cycles,
There is a drawback that antimony is deposited on the negative electrode, reducing the hydrogen overvoltage and increasing the amount of self-discharge and liquid loss.

[0003] In recent years, there has been a strong demand for maintenance-free lead-acid batteries, but when lead-calcium alloys are used for the lattice, there is a problem that they are susceptible to deep charge/discharge cycles and use at high temperatures. . Therefore, the amount of antimony was reduced.
So-called low antimony alloys have been proposed. However, when the amount of antimony in the lattice is reduced, especially when the amount of antimony is reduced to 3% or less, the alloy crystal grains become enlarged, the flow of the metal becomes poor, and it becomes difficult to form a uniform lattice. A lattice with a non-uniform crystal structure not only causes lattice cracks during casting and significantly reduces productivity, but also causes the lattice to easily break due to vibration or corrosion, resulting in battery failure.

As a countermeasure to this problem, it has been proposed to add sulfur to the alloy. This is based on the fact that sulfur has a low solubility in lead and becomes crystal nuclei during solidification, making the crystal grains finer and improving the flow of the alloy in a semi-molten state. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate lattice cracks and the like as described above. Incidentally, FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the amount of sulfur added and the crystal grain size.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, since the temperature of the mixing pot and casting pot is set at about 400 degrees Celsius, the solubility of sulfur is low (see FIG. 3). Moreover, even if the temperature of these pots is raised, the solubility of sulfur will decrease due to the temperature drop in the transport pipe during the pump-up process. For these reasons, the conventional method has had the problem that it is difficult to manufacture a grid for lead-acid batteries containing a sufficient amount of sulfur. Furthermore, there was a problem in that sulfur was scattered due to oxidation of the molten lead due to repeated melting.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a lead-acid battery lattice using a lead-antimony alloy, in which sulfur or a lead-sulfur alloy is poured into a pouring sump and melted. The method includes a step of obtaining molten lead containing a certain amount of sulfur, and a step of forming a lattice body containing a predetermined amount of sulfur by pouring the molten lead in a pouring sump into a mold, in the order described above. The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems by a method of manufacturing a lattice body for lead-acid batteries.

[Operation] Since the temperature of the pouring sump is set high (approximately 500 degrees Celsius), adding sulfur or a lead-sulfur alloy thereto can yield a lead alloy with a large amount of dissolved sulfur. Since the lead alloy is immediately poured into the mold to form a lattice, there is no loss of sulfur, which occurs in the conventional path from the casting pot to the pouring sump, and it contains the desired amount of sulfur, making it finer. It is possible to reliably obtain a lattice body for a lead-acid battery having crystal grains that are uniform in size.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be explained based on the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of casting. 2 is a casting pot, 3 is a transport pipe, and 1 is a pouring sump. The lead alloy 4 melted in the casting pot 2 is sent to the pouring tank 1 via the transport pipe 3, and then poured into the mold 5. By adding sulfur or a lead-sulfur alloy to the pouring sump 1 to set the desired sulfur content, lattice cracks will occur during casting, which is the object of the present invention, and the lattice will be easily cut due to vibration or corrosion. It is possible to obtain a lead-acid battery lattice body that does not cause damage. In the case of this example, lead-sulfur alloy pellets were added to the pouring sump, and after the molten lead became completely uniform, it was poured into the mold.
