Currently, the battery grids on the market are generally single-tab grids, and the positive and negative grid tabs are on one side of the grid. This design will cause uneven utilization of the upper and lower active materials of the plate, and there will be a concentration difference between the upper and lower electrolytes, which will seriously affect the service life of the battery. If subjected to high current charging and discharging, the internal resistance will increase sharply, which may lead to thermal runaway and damage the battery.

[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, wherein the drawings form a part of the description. The drawings illustrate the principles of the present application and, together with the description, serve to explain the present application.

[0041] The internal current distribution of the lead-acid battery plate prepared by the existing grid structure is uneven, the ohmic voltage drop is large, and the cycle life of the battery is short or the manufacturing process is complex. Therefore, the inventor has conducted long-term and in-depth research on several typical grid structures and batteries, and compared the performance of batteries with different grid structures in order to obtain a grid structure with excellent performance.

[0042] The present application provides a bipolar tab grid for a lead-acid battery, which comprises Figure 1As shown, the bipolar tab grid for lead-acid battery includes a frame 1 and a tab, the frame 1 includes an upper frame, a lower frame, a left frame and a right frame; the tab includes a first tab 31 and a second tab 32; along the length direction of the upper frame of the grid, the first tab 31 and the second tab 32 are symmetrically arranged on the upper frame, the plane where the first tab 31 and the second tab 32 are located is parallel to the grid surface; a plurality of horizontal and vertical intersecting ribs 4 are arranged in the frame 1, the ribs 4 include a plurality of first ribs 41 distributed horizontally along the surface of the plate and a plurality of second ribs 42 distributed longitudinally along the surface of the plate; the shape of each first rib 41 is V-shaped, and the opening is directed to the upper frame; the size of the first tab 31 and the second tab 32 is the same, the distance d between the first tab 31 and the second tab 32 (d refers to the distance between the two nearest edges of the first tab 31 and the second tab 32) and the width w of the first tab 31, the length L of the upper frame are related as follows: L≥d+2w.

[0043] The traditional grid is mostly single-tab grid, the tab is located on one side of the upper frame of the grid, the current distribution of the whole plate is uneven, and the ohmic voltage drop is large. Compared with the prior art, the bipolar tab grid for lead-acid battery provided by the present application, by optimizing the structure of the tab, the tabs of the bipolar tab grid are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the upper frame, the current distribution of the whole plate surface is uniform, and the potential loss is reduced. When large current charging and discharging, the generation of battery heat can be reduced, which is beneficial to the high-power work of the battery and prolongs the service life of the battery; and the first rib is V-shaped, which can improve the anti-creep ability of the grid.

[0044] Specifically, the length of the upper frame is L, the distance between the first tab 31 and the second tab 32 is d, considering that d is too small, the first tab 31 and the second tab 32 are almost coincident; d is too large, which is not conducive to specific manufacturing. Therefore, L≥d+2w≥5mm is controlled. Exemplarily, L=d+2w.

[0045] Specifically, in the bipolar tab grid for lead-acid battery, the second rib 42 located on the median line of the upper frame is rectangular, which plays the role of reinforcing rib and can improve the anti-creep ability of the middle part of the plate (once the plate creeps, it will be pushed to the bus bar, which will be short-circuited and failed); the shape of the rest of the second rib 42 is: along the direction away from the upper frame, the width of the second rib 42 gradually decreases, that is, the upper part is thick and the lower part is thin, exemplarily, the shape of the second rib 42 is trapezoidal, the edge length of the edge close to the upper frame is greater than the edge length of the edge away from the tab. The setting mode of the second rib 42 with thick upper part and thin lower part can be beneficial to the anti-corrosion and current collection of the upper part.

[0046] Specifically, the length difference between the upper edge length and the lower edge length of the second rib 42 is 0.6-1.5mm.

[0047] Specifically, in the bipolar lug grid for lead-acid batteries, each first rib 41 is V-shaped, and the opening faces the upper frame. The V-shaped first rib 41 can improve the creep resistance of the grid. For example, the V-shaped first rib 41 has an included angle of 90° or more and less than 180°.

[0048] Specifically, the distribution of the first rib 41 is that, along the direction away from the upper frame, the distance between adjacent two first ribs 41 is not completely the same.

[0049] Specifically, the distribution of the first rib 41 is that, along the direction away from the upper frame, the distance between adjacent two first ribs 41 gradually decreases. Such an arrangement is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of active material at the bottom of the plate.

[0050] Specifically, the distance between adjacent two first ribs 41 is 10-20 mm.

[0051] Considering that the reaction at the upper part of the plate is more intense and the corrosion of the rib is more serious, in order to reduce the corrosion of the rib and reduce the cost, preferably, in the bipolar lug grid, the width of the first rib 41 is not completely the same.

[0052] In one possible design, along the direction away from the upper frame, the width of the first rib at the upper part is the same, the width of the first rib at the lower part is the same, and the width of the first rib at the upper part is greater than the width of the first rib at the lower part. For example, the number of first ribs at the upper part accounts for 1 / 4-1 / 2 of the total number of first ribs.

[0053] In one possible design, along the direction away from the upper frame, the width of the first rib gradually decreases.

[0054] Specifically, in the bipolar lug grid, the size of the first lug 31 and the second lug 32 is the same. Specifically, the size of the first lug 31 and the second lug 32 is designed according to the specific battery model. For example, the size of the first lug 31 and the second lug 32 is 3-10 mm in width and 3-10 mm in height.

[0055] Specifically, the thickness of the first lug 31 and the second lug 32 is slightly smaller than the thickness of the frame 1, and the difference between the thickness of the frame 1 and the thickness of the first lug 31 and the second lug 32 is 0.5-3 mm.

[0056] It should be noted that the above-mentioned bipolar lug grid for lead-acid batteries can be used as a grid of a power battery. The power battery is generally discharged at a discharge rate of about 0.5C and charged at about 0.25C. At such a rate, the ion migration between the positive and negative plates has a large interactive effect, and the lug and rib arrangement need to be specifically designed.

[0057] The grid of this invention is applicable to power batteries that are different from those used in automobile starting batteries. Automobile starting batteries require instantaneous high current output capability. Therefore, in terms of the distribution of ribs on the positive plate, the main design principle is to minimize the internal resistance of the ribs. Generally, a radial rib distribution is adopted. Since the discharge time is extremely short, the interaction between the positive and negative electrodes during the discharge process through ion migration can be small. Therefore, the relative position of the positive and negative electrode tabs has a small impact.

[0058] The power battery of this invention differs from gel energy storage batteries. Gel energy storage batteries generally use low-rate discharge of less than 10 hours, and the ion migration rate has little impact on the interaction between the positive and negative electrodes. Therefore, the relative positions of the positive and negative electrodes are less affected.

[0059] To demonstrate the beneficial effects of the bipolar tab grid for lead-acid batteries of the present invention, the inventors compared several typical solutions during their research process, as described below.

Ribs 4 are provided inside the frame 1. The ribs 4 include multiple first ribs 41 distributed laterally along the electrode surface and multiple second ribs 42 distributed longitudinally along the electrode surface. Each first rib 41 is V-shaped, with its opening facing the upper frame, and the included angle of the V-shape is 150°. The first electrode ear 31 and the second electrode ear 32 have the same size. The relationship between the distance d between the first electrode ear 31 and the second electrode ear 32 and the width w of the first electrode ear 31 and the length L of the upper frame is as follows: L = d + 2w.

A plurality of horizontal and vertical intersecting ribs 4 are arranged in the interior of the frame 1, the ribs 4 comprise a plurality of first ribs 41 distributed horizontally along the direction of the plate and a plurality of second ribs 42 distributed vertically along the direction of the plate, and the first ribs 41 and the second ribs 42 are perpendicular to each other.

[0078] Example 6

[0079] This embodiment provides a lead-acid battery, including a single cell. Each cell comprises multiple alternating positive and negative plates. The positive plate of the single cell uses the grid structure of Embodiment 1, and the negative plate uses the grid structure of Embodiment 2. It should be noted that the lead-acid battery may include six single cells, which can be connected in series in a 1×6 structure (labeled 6-1#), a 2×3 structure, or a 3×2 structure.

[0080] In this embodiment, the design of the ribs and shape of the negative electrode plate can be the same as that of the positive electrode plate.

[0081] Example 7

[0082] This embodiment provides a lead-acid battery, including a single cell. Each cell comprises multiple alternating positive and negative plates.

The remaining second ribs are thick at the top and thin at the bottom, which can be beneficial to the corrosion resistance and current collection of the upper part. The first rib of the bipolar lug grid is V-shaped, which can improve the anti-creep ability of the grid. The distribution of the first rib is sparse at the top and dense at the bottom, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of the active material at the bottom of the plate.
