How to ensure the safety performance of the battery during the design and production process of lead-acid battery forklifts?
Safety considerations in the design stage
1. Battery compartment structure design
HECHA Company attached great importance to the structural design of the battery compartment in the early stage of the design of lead-acid electric forklifts. By using high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials to build the battery compartment, it is ensured that during the operation of the forklift, even if it encounters bumps or collisions, it can effectively protect the battery from physical damage. At the same time, the battery compartment is designed with a ventilation and heat dissipation system, which can effectively reduce the heat generated by the battery during operation and avoid safety hazards caused by overheating.
2. Battery Management System (BMS) Integration
HECHA's lead-acid battery forklift is equipped with an advanced battery management system (BMS), which can monitor the status of the battery in real time, including key parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature. Once an abnormality is found, the BMS will immediately take measures, such as limiting the charging current, cutting off the power supply, etc., to prevent the battery from overcharging, over-discharging or overheating, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the battery.
3. Intelligent protection mechanism
The design team also incorporated a number of intelligent protection mechanisms, such as battery low voltage protection, short circuit protection, reverse connection protection, etc., to ensure rapid response in extreme cases to prevent battery damage or fire and other safety accidents.
Quality control during production
1. Raw material screening and inspection
HECHA implements strict quality control on the raw materials of lead-acid batteries. From the selection of plate materials to the ratio of electrolytes, each link is carefully screened and scientifically tested to ensure that all materials meet the highest industry standards and ensure the safety and durability of the battery from the source.
2. Production process optimization
During the production process, HECHA uses automated production lines and precise manufacturing processes, such as plate coating, curing, assembly and other processes, which are completed by high-precision equipment to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the internal structure of the battery and reduce safety hazards caused by human operational errors.
3. Strict quality inspection
After the production of each batch of lead-acid batteries, they must undergo strict quality inspections, including but not limited to capacity testing, cycle life testing, safety performance testing, etc. In particular, the safety performance test covers a number of simulation experiments such as short circuit, overcharge, over discharge, high temperature, vibration, etc., to ensure that the battery can maintain stability and safety under various extreme conditions.
Post-maintenance and safety assurance
1. Professional training and guidance
HECHA is well aware that the safety of forklift use not only depends on the quality of the product itself, but is also closely related to the professional quality of the operator. Therefore, the company regularly provides professional training for sales agents and end users, including the correct use of batteries, daily maintenance, emergency handling, etc., to enhance users' awareness and ability of battery safety management.
2. Battery recycling and recycling
In response to the environmental protection treatment of lead-acid batteries, HECHA has established a complete battery recycling mechanism to ensure that waste batteries can be recycled safely and efficiently, which not only reduces environmental pollution but also promotes the sustainable use of resources.
3. After-sales service network
Relying on more than 100 domestic sales agents and more than 30 foreign sales agents, HECHA can provide users with timely and professional after-sales services, including battery fault diagnosis, repair and replacement, etc., to ensure that any problems encountered during the use of the forklift can be quickly resolved, further ensuring the safe operation of the battery and the vehicle.
