[0036] Refer to the following Figure 1-7 The embodiments of the present application are described in detail.

[0037] Figure 1 A perspective view showing an electrode assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the installation of an electrode assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 3 A side view of an electrode assembly according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0038] See reference Figure 1-7 The electrode assembly includes: at least one first electrode plate 110 having a first mounting hole 111; at least two second electrode plates 120 having second mounting holes 121, and the at least one first electrode plate 110 is spaced apart from the at least two second electrode plates 120.

[0039] The gasket set 140 is used to space the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120. According to example embodiments, the gasket set may include a first gasket 220 and at least one second gasket 210. The first gasket 220 may have a T-shaped structure including a bottom 229 and a protrusion 227, and has a first through hole 221 that passes through the bottom 229 and the protrusion 227. The protrusion 227 can be used to pass through part or all of the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 121 to assemble the electrode assembly. Each of the at least one second gasket 210 may have a second through hole 211. At least one second gasket 210 is detachably disposed on the protrusion 227.

[0040] The fixing assembly passes through the first through hole 221 to fix the at least one first electrode plate 110 and the at least two second electrode plates 120. According to some embodiments, the fixing assembly may be a combination of bolts 150 and nuts 130, and the bolts 150 and nuts 130 are used to tighten and fix the electrode plates.

[0041] The first electrode plate 110 may be, for example, a metal flat plate having a certain flat portion. The metal flat plate has good electrical conductivity, and the first electrode plate 110 may be used as an anode plate in an electrical component.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, two second electrode plates 120 are arranged on both sides of the first electrode plate 110. The first electrode plate 110 may be provided with a plurality of holes, and the second electrode plate 120 is fixed to the first electrode plate 110 by bolts 150 and nuts 130. A washer set 140 is arranged between the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120, and is used to space a certain distance between the two and to insulate them. The second electrode plate 120 can be used as a cathode plate in the electrical component.

[0043] According to some example embodiments, the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120 may be provided with a plurality of holes for passing the gasket set 140 and the bolts 150 during installation. The plurality of holes may provide a plurality of installation positions, so that the electrode plates may provide different installation positions according to different use environments.

[0044] According to some other exemplary embodiments of the present application, a plurality of holes may be disposed on the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120 .

[0045] There is a second electrode plate 120 above and below the first electrode plate 110, and a certain distance is required between the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120. A gasket group 140 of a certain thickness is arranged between the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120, and the thickness of the gasket group 140 is the spacing distance between the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120.

[0046] In the traditional solution, before installing the electrode assembly, it is necessary to prepare a plurality of washers, manually place the washers between the electrode plates, and then manually align the mounting holes with the washers holes, which consumes a lot of time.

[0047] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a gasket set 140 is disposed between the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120, wherein the gasket set 140 has a protrusion 227 (at Figure 5 ). During the installation of the electrode assembly, the gasket set 140 is firstly arranged on the first electrode plate 110, the gasket set 140 and the first electrode plate 110 are fixed together, and then the second electrode plate 120 is placed, and finally the bolts are put on.

[0048] After the gasket set 140 and the first electrode plate 110 are fixed together, the second electrode plate 120 and the gasket set 140 are manually aligned, which saves the operation process of aligning the gasket set 140 and the first electrode 110 and improves efficiency.

[0049] During the installation of the electrode assembly, the first electrode 110 is prepared first, the gasket set 140 is installed on the first electrode plate 110, and then the two second electrode plates 120 are placed on both sides of the first electrode plate 110. Bolts 150 are passed through the second electrode plate 120, the gasket set 140, and the first electrode plate 110 in sequence, and finally the nuts 130 are installed on the bolts 150 and tightened.

[0050] According to some example embodiments, the installation of the first electrode plate 110 and the second electrode plate 120 requires multiple installation points, and the operation method of first disposing the gasket set 140 on the first electrode plate 110 can improve work efficiency.

[0051] Figure 4 A perspective view showing a gasket set according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 A schematic diagram showing the installation of a gasket set according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0052] See also Figure 4 and 5 The washer set 140 may include a first washer 220 and a second washer 210 , and the second washer 210 is disposed on the protrusion 227 of the first washer 220 .

[0053] The protrusion 227 of the first gasket 220 may include a first through hole 221 , an outer contour circle 223 , and an outer contour surface 225 . The second gasket 210 may have a second through hole 211 and an inner surface 213 .

[0054] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the outer diameter of the protrusion 227 of the first washer 220 is equal to or smaller than the inner diameter 211 of the second washer 210. The first through hole 221 is used to pass the bolt 150, and the second through hole 211 is used to pass the protrusion 227 of the first washer 220.

[0055] The outer diameter of the outer contour circle 223 is equal to the inner diameter of the second through hole 211, or the outer diameter of the outer contour 223 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the second through hole 211. During the installation process, the protrusion of the first gasket 220 is first passed through the installation hole of the first electrode plate 110, and then the second gasket 210 is sleeved on the protrusion 227 of the first gasket 220. Since the outer diameter of the outer contour circle 223 of the first gasket 220 is not greater than the inner diameter of the second through hole 211 of the second gasket 210, the outer contour surface 225 is installed in coordination with the inner surface 213.

[0056] According to some other exemplary embodiments of the present application, the protrusion 227 may be a hollow cylindrical structure, the outer diameter of the hollow cylinder being slightly smaller than or equal to the inner diameter of the second through hole 211 , and during installation, the protrusion 227 is tightly fitted with the second gasket.

[0057] According to some other exemplary embodiments of the present application, an external thread may be provided on the outer contour surface 225 of the first washer 220, and an internal thread may be provided on the inner surface 213 of the second washer 210. During installation, the second washer 210 may be screwed onto the first washer 220, and the two washers are threadedly matched to increase reliability.

[0058] According to some exemplary embodiments, the protrusion 227 and the bottom 229 of the second gasket 210 may be integrally formed, for example, by machining the protrusion 227 and the bottom 229 on a profile during machining, or may be, for example, an injection molded part, which is injection molded in one step.

[0059] According to other example embodiments of the present application, the electrode plate assembly may involve multiple electrode plates and multiple gaskets may be used. According to the solution of the present application, the protrusion 227 can be lengthened and multiple second gaskets 210 can be used to meet the use scenarios of multi-layer electrode plates.

[0060] Figure 6 A schematic diagram showing the installation process of a gasket set according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0061] See also Figure 6The first electrode plate 110 may have a first mounting hole 111. During the assembly of the electrode assembly, the gasket set needs to be fixed to the first electrode plate 110. The protrusion 227 of the first gasket 220 is first passed through the first mounting hole 111 on the first electrode plate 110, and then the second gasket 210 is installed on the protrusion 227 of the first gasket 220 to complete the installation of the gasket set.

[0062] According to an example embodiment of the present application, the inner diameter of the mounting hole 111 is not less than the outer circle size of the protrusion 227, ensuring that the protrusion 227 can pass through the first mounting hole 111, and the outer circle size of the first washer protrusion 227 is not greater than the size of the second through hole 211 of the second washer 210, ensuring that the protrusion 227 can pass through the second through hole 211.

[0063] Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing an installed gasket set according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0064] See also Figure 7 After the gasket assembly 140 is installed on the first electrode plate 110, when the second electrode plate 120 is installed, the manual alignment step is omitted, thus saving time.

[0065] According to some example embodiments, the gasket set 140 and the first electrode plate 110 may be assembled separately first, and then the second electrode plate 120 may be assembled onto the first electrode plate 110 .

[0066] According to the exemplary embodiment of the present application, after the gasket set 140 is applied to the electrode assembly, the original gasket is eliminated, which greatly speeds up the assembly efficiency while reducing the cost.

[0067] According to some example embodiments, the gasket assembly 140 is made of corrosion-resistant insulating material, such as ABS material, which is more corrosion-resistant than existing materials and can avoid scaling on the cathode or anode surface caused by corrosion of the gasket material, thereby reducing the occurrence of failures.
