Nanchang, a retired engineer invented “universal cell”

Are you the Walkman battery is not durable and trouble it? Are you a pile of discarded batteries for the family will worry about the pollution of society too? These issues are indeed a headache for many people, but yesterday’s news had the privilege of a citizen’s home in an insight into a set of the invention, the invention allows the use of all of the appliances completely dry.

Yesterday afternoon, reporters knocking on the railway village 27 7 21 Wang commentary to the door. Entered the house, the 83-year-old Wong Lo brought directly to the press room where the invention. Pointing to a box-mounted on the wall, Wong Lo said that this was his invention - DC-powered equipment indoors. Wong Lo was originally a plant in Nanchang Railway chief engineer of communication signals. Retired in 1984, Guangdong has a unit hired him to do a five-year consultancy. As the age increases, Wong Lo returned to Nanchang in 1993. But he is still restless, and often at home to do some experimental work the invention of small appliances.

“In 1995, I saw on television because of the emergence of a large number of discarded batteries, so that many of the city’s environment has been contaminated. At that time I thought, I would like to invent a device to dry completely ‘off’. After I and my son 6 years R & D, 2001 the invention of my last experiment was a success in 2003, I also received the national invention patent for utility model. ”

Wong Lo explained to reporters “Indoor DC power supply equipment” works Inspiron E1505 Battery. An electric, all appliances fitted with nickel-metal hydride batteries, can be accessed through a different wiring and terminations from the AC power directly to replace the batteries charged; power outage, the box-2 has been fully charged Ni-MH battery can be used to give all the power household appliances.

Wong Lo told reporters that he set of “indoor DC power supply equipment,” cost only 60 yuan a year in general people will be able to recover the costs but will not dry like the pollution of the environment. Now his greatest wish is that his invention can play a practical value, he can not cost a penny to the transfer of its own patents.

Tianjin Port in 2006 a substantial increase in exports of the main battery

(A) the battery market demand. With coal, oil, energy prices continued to rise, automobile, electric bicycle, etc. The rapid development of electricity as a low-cost reusable non-polluting energy resources become increasingly extensive, and therefore the battery industry has been rapid development. Marine, aviation, telecommunications, railway, transport, defense and other industries are beginning to widely use a variety of batteries, the demand for rapid growth. With the growing competition in the market Latitude D500 Battery, mobile phones, digital cameras, digital cameras, notebook computers and other new electronic products continues to introduce new environmentally friendly battery of new types of ever-rising demand. Related information: domestic manufacturers of lithium-ion battery for about 70% of the capacity is used to produce mobile phone battery.

(B) the rapid development of China’s battery industry. At present China’s battery production accounts for more than half of the world’s cell production, new lithium-ion batteries as an alternative to the traditional nickel-metal hydride, lead-acid battery of new green environmental protection products have been gradually extended. It is competent to do not contain mercury, cadmium and other pollutants, long life, energy sufficient advantages in higher value-added, highly profitable, so the momentum of rapid development of industrial scale, exports hit record highs. In addition, Japan’s Sanyo Sony lithium-ion battery industry hegemony, have now invest and build factories in China, which will be further pulled up the domestic lithium-ion battery production, speed up the battery industrial upgrading.

(C) Domestic battery with a clear price advantage. Cheap labor and resources to manufacture products with the price of China’s competitive advantage. In addition, the domestic battery is the machine of production and hand-assembled by combining the same production line as long as you can make minor adjustments to produce different specifications of products, equipment, less investment. Advantage of foreign companies a higher degree of machine production, product quality and stable production and high efficiency. But for different specifications of the product requires assembly of different production lines and equipment investment was large, so the product is priced higher, weakening their competitiveness.

Despite the sharp increase in exports of batteries, but some problems must be worthy of our Latitude D430 Battery attention

(A) The European Union has frequently set the green barriers, battery export enterprises are facing difficulties. The European Commission February 3, 2006 Release batteries and battery instruction, the introduction of the content of cadmium in portable batteries 0.002% of the new restrictions. September 26, the European Union, “Official Gazette” the enactment of new batteries and battery instruction, battery exports to the EU not only to meet near-stringent mercury, cadmium content requirements, will also assume the expensive recovery costs. November 15 from the beginning, the French implementation of the new electrical and electronic garbage collection system and other EU countries are also expected to implement such a system. The EU has frequently set the green barriers, has made the cost of exports to the EU a substantial increase in battery. Some SMEs had to because of economic reasons and technical reasons to give up the EU market.

(B) raw material prices rise, battery companies moving forward with difficulty. Since 2006, lead-acid batteries can not be a lack of raw materials of metal lead, nickel prices began to rise sharply. As countries around the world to improve environmental protection requirements, lead is also a gradual increase in production costs, some developed countries have even stopped the production of lead in their own countries, instead, to purchase finished products in the international market, lead to pass on its own environment, pollution, This resulted in electrolytic lead prices soared in 2006, lead prices nearly triple in 2003. At the same time, nickel prices from the end of 2005 about 150 thousand yuan per ton, in 2006 rose to nearly 300 thousand yuan per ton. In addition, raw materials, cobalt, natural manganese powder, zinc and other prices rise to varying degrees, corporate profit margins being squeezed.

(C) high-end products have been monopolized by foreign enterprises. According to industry sources, the emerging lithium-ion battery is divided into single-core group and multi-core group, multi-core group of cells are formed by a multi-block battery cell, the production is difficult, high technology, highly profitable, mainly used in notebook computers contour end electronic products. Multi-core group of cells, if the electric capacity of a single battery cell is not compliance, then the whole battery pack performance will be adversely affected, which in the production process is known as the consistency of the battery pack. Well-known foreign companies have solved this problem. Most domestic manufacturers still in the manual stage Latitude D420 Battery, the battery can not guarantee consistency, therefore, the international well-known notebook manufacturers mostly use Japanese products.

To this end, the proposed structure of enterprises to export products appropriate adjustments to continue to develop new applications and markets, appropriate reduction in price competition is relatively intense exports. Increase R & D costs and technology in product innovation, and strive to improve product quality and technical content, to improve battery energy density and safety of environmental performance, reduce manufacturing costs, higher profit margins. At the same time, reduce wastage of resources, lower due to rising raw materials arising from adverse effects.
