Problems solved by technology

The existing flow battery reactor is mainly composed of several parts stacked on each other. In order to ensure the tightness of the battery reactor, the layers need to be bonded by a corrosion-resistant adhesive, and at the same time, it is necessary to install There are end plates, which are equipped with pull rods and springs or screws to lock the end plates to obtain the required locking force. This stacked locking structure has the following problems: 1. The locking force needs to meet the force required for the reactor seal at the same time 1. The support force required by the laminated structure and the compensation force after thermal expansion and contraction, and if one of the forces cannot be satisfied, it will cause a hidden danger of sealing, which greatly affects the service life of the battery reactor; 2. The laminated structure, end plates and The weight of the tie rod is relatively large, which reduces the weight specific power of the battery reactor; 3. The battery assembly process is complicated and the sealing is poor

Abstract

The invention provides an integrated cross-flow type lithium redox flow battery reactor. The integrated cross-flow type lithium redox flow battery reactor comprises a battery framework and isolation windows, wherein the battery framework is a cuboid with a hollow interior, a plurality of pairs of straight-through hollow grooves are formed in two surfaces (A-A1), opposite to each other, of the cuboid and are used for accommodating the isolation windows, a plurality of isolation windows are sequentially arranged and inserted into the straight-through hollow grooves according to a sequence that current collection layers with same polarity are oppositely arranged so as to form positive reaction cavities and negative reaction cavities which are alternatively arranged at intervals, a positive runner groove is formed between two straight-through hollow grooves forming each positive reaction cavity in the surfaces (A-A1), and a negative runner groove is formed between two straight-through hollow grooves forming each negative reaction cavity in surfaces (B-B1). The battery reactor adopts an integrated design and is prevented from being sealed and fixed by using a locking force, and a sealing potential risk caused by uneven stress is avoided; meanwhile, the weight of an end plate and a pull rod is omitted, and the power-weight ratio of the battery reactor is relatively improved; and moreover, the battery reactor is simple to manufacture and convenient to assemble.
