Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lead-acid battery technology, specifically relating to a horizontally mounted battery. Background Technology

[0002] Lead-acid batteries are widely used in industrial fields due to their high stability, safety, and low cost. Common specifications for lead-acid batteries include 2V, 6V, and 12V. 2V batteries are rectangular in shape and can be installed vertically or horizontally. Vertical installation requires more space due to the height of the 2V battery, and it also easily causes electrolyte stratification, affecting battery life. Therefore, most rectangular batteries (such as 2V batteries) in current technology are installed horizontally.

[0003] For horizontal installations, when the plates are in a horizontal position, the pressure on the bottom separator is inconsistent with that on the top separator, resulting in inconsistent discharge and ultimately affecting the battery's lifespan. While a vertical installation solves the pressure inconsistency issue, the separators in the battery pack design are 5-8mm wider than the plates, and the separators are made of AGM (glass fiber) which has a lower weight capacity. Under gravity, the battery pack is prone to sinking, increasing the risk of plate breakage and also affecting battery lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0048] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 3 These are schematic diagrams of existing battery installation methods, specifically vertical and horizontal installations. Vertical installation requires significant height space and is prone to electrolyte stratification. Horizontal installation, with the plates horizontal, results in the bottom separator being under considerable pressure due to the lack of supporting structures within the receiving tank, making it susceptible to damage. While vertical installation solves the pressure inconsistency issue between the bottom and top separators, the separators have a lower weight capacity, increasing the risk of plate breakage.

[0052] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a horizontally installable battery 1, which ensures balanced force on the plates of the battery's electrode group during horizontal installation, thus resolving the issue of horizontal installation affecting the battery's lifespan in the prior art. Please refer to the following: Figures 4 to 11The following describes the horizontally installable storage battery 1 provided in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0053] Please see Figures 4 to 6 This invention provides a horizontally installable storage battery 1, including a casing assembly 10, an electrode group body 20, two busbars 30, two terminal posts 40, a plate lug support assembly, and an electrode group clamp 70. The casing assembly 10 includes a housing 11 and a cover 12. One side of the housing 11 has a receiving groove, and the cover 12 covers the opening of the receiving groove. The electrode group body 20 includes multiple positive plates, multiple negative plates, and multiple separators respectively disposed within the receiving groove. The separators are disposed between the positive and negative plates. The positive plates have positive plate lugs 21, and the negative plates have negative plate lugs 22. Two busbars 30 are respectively disposed within the receiving groove. One busbar 30 connects multiple positive plate lugs 21 in series, and the other busbar 30 connects multiple negative plate lugs 22 in series. Two terminal posts 40 are respectively disposed on the two busbars 30. One end of the column 40 is connected to the busbar 30, and the other end extends out of the cover 12; the lug support assembly includes two lug supports 50 arranged opposite each other, one lug support 50 is located on the side of the positive electrode lug 21 away from the negative electrode lug 22, and the other lug support 50 is located on the side of the negative electrode lug 22 away from the positive electrode lug 21. One end of the lug support 50 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the other end abuts against the corresponding positive electrode lug 21 or negative electrode lug 22; the electrode group clamp 70 is located at the bottom of the receiving groove and has an electrode group clamping groove 73. The end of the electrode group body 20 away from the busbar 30 is clamped in the electrode group clamping groove 73.

[0054] The horizontally installable battery 1 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a casing assembly 10, a electrode group body 20, busbars 30, terminal posts 40, a plate lug support assembly, and an electrode group clamp 70. Two busbars 30 are respectively connected to the positive plate lug 21 and the negative plate lug 22 of the electrode group body 20. Two terminal posts 40 are respectively disposed on the two busbars 30, and two plate lug supports 50 are respectively supported on one side of the positive plate lug 21 and the negative plate lug 22. With this configuration, when the battery is horizontally installed, the plate lug supports 50 can support the corresponding positive plate lug 21 or negative plate lug 22, and the electrode group clamp 70 can support the end of the electrode group body 20 away from the busbars 30. By providing support forces to both ends of the electrode group body 20 through the plate lug supports 50 and the electrode group clamp 70, it helps to ensure internal force balance of the electrode group body 20 during horizontal installation, solves the problem of plate breakage, and improves the service life of the horizontally installed battery.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, the outer casing assembly 10 includes a casing 11 and a cover 12. The casing 11 has a receiving groove for accommodating the electrode group body 20 and the electrolyte, and the cover 12 is used to seal the receiving groove. The casing 11 and the cover 12 can be the battery casing structure in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The electrode group body 20 consists of multiple positive electrode plates, multiple separators, and multiple negative electrode plates. The positive electrode lugs 21 of the multiple positive electrode plates are arranged in a straight line, and the negative electrode lugs 22 of the multiple negative electrode plates are arranged in a straight line. The separators are disposed between the positive and negative electrode plates. Generally, the external dimensions (length and width) of the separators are usually 5-8 mm larger than the external dimensions of the positive and negative electrode plates to ensure that the separators can completely cover the surfaces of the positive and negative electrode plates. The separators can be rubber separators, PP separators, PE separators, PVC separators, AGM separators, etc., and this embodiment of the invention does not limit them.

[0057] There are two busbars 30. One busbar 30 is connected to multiple positive electrode lugs 21, and the other busbar 30 is connected to multiple negative electrode lugs 22. The two busbars 30 are arranged in parallel and are respectively connected to two terminal posts 40. The busbars 30 and the terminal posts 40 are used for conducting electricity.

[0058] The lug support assembly includes two oppositely arranged lug brackets 50, which are disposed in a receiving groove to support the positive electrode lug 21 or the negative electrode lug 22. The lug brackets 50 can be fixed in the receiving groove by adhesive, snap-fit, or other methods. When the battery... Figure 3 When the horizontal installation method shown is adopted, in which the plates are in the vertical direction, the plate lug bracket 50 can support the positive or negative plates, prevent the plates from breaking and being damaged, and can improve the service life of the horizontally installed battery to a certain extent.

[0059] By setting two lug supports 50, the battery can be installed in both directions. When the battery is installed horizontally, when the positive lug 21 is below the negative lug 22, the lug support 50 below the positive lug 21 provides support; when the positive lug 21 is above the negative lug 22, the lug support 50 below the negative lug 22 provides support.

[0060] A terminal block retainer 70 is located at the bottom of the receiving groove and is used to support and fix the end of the terminal block body 20 away from the busbar 30. The outer wall of the terminal block retainer 70 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the inner wall of the terminal block retainer 70 forms a terminal block retainer groove 73 for holding and fixing the terminal block body 20. When the battery is installed horizontally, the terminal block retainer 70 can provide support for the end of the terminal block body 20 away from the busbar 30.

[0061] It should be noted that the plate ear bracket 50 and the electrode group card 70 should be made of materials such as PE and PVC that do not react with the battery electrolyte.

[0062] Please see Figures 4 to 7In some possible embodiments, one end of the plate ear support 50 is provided with a plurality of comb teeth 523, the plurality of comb teeth 523 are spaced apart along the arrangement direction of the partition, and a plate ear slot 524 is formed between two adjacent comb teeth 523, and the positive electrode plate ear 21 and the negative electrode plate ear 22 are at least partially accommodated in the corresponding plate ear slot 524.

[0063] In this embodiment, the end of the plate ear support 50 adjacent to the corresponding positive or negative plate is provided with comb teeth 523, and a plate ear slot 524 is formed between the comb teeth 523. The positive plate ear 21 or negative plate ear 22 is accommodated in the plate ear slot 524. During installation, the comb teeth 523 are inserted between the two positive plates or the two negative plates to facilitate the installation and positioning of the plate ear support 50.

[0064] By setting the comb teeth 523, the comb teeth 523 can also support the positive or negative electrode plate, so that the horizontally installable battery 1 provided in this embodiment can be used for both horizontal installation when the electrode plate is in the vertical direction and horizontal installation when the electrode plate is in the horizontal direction.

[0065] When the electrode plate is in a vertical position, the positive electrode lug 21 or negative electrode lug 22 of the electrode group body 20 is accommodated in the corresponding lug slot 524 and abuts against the bottom wall of the slot 524, thus supporting the end of the electrode group body 20 with the lug through the bottom wall of the slot 524. The other end of the electrode group body 20 is supported by the electrode group retainer 70.

[0066] When the electrode plate is in a horizontal position, the positive or negative electrode plate of the electrode group body 20 is housed in the corresponding lug slot 524 and abuts against one side wall of the lug slot 524. The side wall of the lug slot 524 supports the end of the electrode group body 20 with the lug. The other end of the electrode group body 20 is supported by the electrode group retainer 70.

[0067] It should be noted that there are gaps between the pole group body 20 and the four side walls of the receiving groove. The pole group clamp 70 can be used to clamp and fix the opposite two side walls of the pole group body 20, or it can clamp and fix all four side walls of the pole group body 20 simultaneously. When the pole group clamp 70 is used to clamp and fix the opposite two side walls of the pole group body 20, the supporting forces from the pole group clamp 70 and the plate ear bracket 50 at both ends of the pole group body 20 should be in the same direction. Therefore, the pole plate of the pole group body 20 can only be used in either a horizontal or vertical position. When the pole group clamp 70 clamps and fixes all four side walls of the pole group body 20 simultaneously, the pole plate of the pole group body 20 can be in either a horizontal or vertical position.

[0068] Please see Figures 4 to 7In some possible embodiments, the end of the comb tooth 523 forms a guide slope 525 on one side of the lug slot 524, which can guide the positive electrode lug 21 or the negative electrode lug 22 when it enters the lug slot 524, thus facilitating the installation of the lug bracket 50.

[0069] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some possible embodiments, the plate ear support 50 includes a first frame 51 and a second frame 52. One end of the first frame 51 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the other end is provided with a sliding groove 511 along a first direction, which is parallel to the plate surface of the partition; one end of the second frame 52 is slidably engaged with the sliding groove 511, and the other end abuts against the corresponding positive electrode plate ear 21 or negative electrode plate ear 22.

[0070] In this embodiment, the plate ear support 50 includes a first frame 51 and a second frame 52. The second frame 52 can slide along the sliding groove 511 of the first plate, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the second frame 52 during installation and ensures that the other end of the second frame 52 can abut against the corresponding positive plate ear 21 or negative plate ear 22.

[0071] It should be noted that after the position of the second frame 52 is adjusted, the second frame 52 and the first frame 51 need to be fixed together as one unit. This can be done by means of hot melting, gluing, screw connection, etc.

[0072] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some possible embodiments, the first frame 51 has an adhesive receiving groove 512, and the second frame 52 includes a base plate 521 that is slidably fitted to the sliding groove 511, and an adhesive baffle 522 disposed on the base plate 521. The adhesive baffle 522 and the side wall of the adhesive receiving groove 512 together enclose an adhesive filling space, which is used to fill hot melt adhesive 53.

[0073] In this embodiment, the adhesive baffle 522 and the sidewall of the adhesive reservoir 512 together form an adhesive filling space. After the other end of the second frame 52 is pressed against the corresponding positive electrode lug 21 or negative electrode lug 22, hot melt adhesive 53 can be filled into the adhesive filling space, so that the second frame 52 and the first frame 51 are connected as one unit. The hot melt adhesive 53 can prevent the first frame 51 and the second frame 52 from relative displacement and deformation during later use, improve the deformation resistance of the lug support 50, and provide better support.

[0074] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 9In some possible embodiments, the horizontally mounted battery 1 further includes a terminal post support frame 60, which includes a support plate 61 and two first limiting plates 62. The support plate 61 is located on the side of the busbar 30 away from the electrode group body 20 and has a terminal post hole 611 for the terminal post 40 to pass through. The two first limiting plates 62 are disposed opposite to the side of the support plate 61 adjacent to the busbar 30, and the two first limiting plates 62 are respectively located between the positive electrode lug 21 and the negative electrode lug 22, and the first limiting plates 62 abut against the corresponding positive electrode lug 21 or negative electrode lug 22.

[0075] In this embodiment, the terminal post support frame 60 includes a support plate 61 and a first limiting plate 62 connected as one piece. The support plate 61 has a terminal post hole 611 for fixing the terminal post 40. The first limiting plate 62 abuts against the corresponding positive electrode lug 21 or negative electrode lug 22, and a clamping and fixing space for the lug is formed between the first limiting plate 62 and the adjacent lug bracket 50.

[0076] like Figure 4 As shown, the arrow points downwards. When the battery is installed in a horizontal configuration with the plates vertically aligned, the plate lug bracket 50 located below the positive plate lug 21 supports the positive plate lug 21, and the first limiting plate 62 located below the negative plate lug 22 supports the negative plate lug 22. By setting the terminal post support bracket 60, the terminal post 40 can be supported and limited, and both the positive and negative plates can be supported in a horizontal position, which helps to ensure the force balance of the plates inside the electrode group body 20 and prevents the plates from sinking or breaking.

[0077] Please see Figure 9 In some possible embodiments, the support plate 61 is also provided with a liquid injection hole 612, which is connected to the receiving tank, and electrolyte can be added to the receiving tank through the liquid injection hole 612.

[0078] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 9 In some possible embodiments, the terminal post support frame 60 further includes two second limiting plates 63, which are disposed opposite to each other on the side of the support plate 61 adjacent to the busbar 30. The second limiting plates 63 and the corresponding first limiting plates 62 together form a limiting space for limiting the busbar 30.

[0079] In this embodiment, the second limiting plate 63 and the corresponding first limiting plate 62 together form a limiting space for limiting the busbar 30, which can support both sides of the busbar 30. When the electrode plate is in the vertical direction, both busbars 30 can be supported regardless of whether the positive electrode lug 21 or the negative electrode lug 22 is located below.

[0080] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some possible embodiments, the pole group card 70 includes two first card plates 71 and two second card plates 72. One end of the two first card plates 71 is connected, and the two second card plates 72 are symmetrically arranged and respectively connected to the other end of the two first card plates 71. The two first card plates 71 and the two second card plates 72 together form the pole group card slot 73.

[0081] In this embodiment, the electrode group clamp 70 includes two first clamping plates 71 and two second clamping plates 72. The two first clamping plates 71 can be bonded together as an integral connection or hinged together as a separate connection. The first clamping plates 71 and the second clamping plates 72 are connected to form an L-shape. The first clamping plates 71 are disposed on the bottom wall of the receiving groove, and the second clamping plates 72 are disposed on the side wall of the receiving groove. When the battery is installed horizontally, the second clamping plates 72 are used to support the electrode group body 20.

[0082] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some possible embodiments, the second card plate 72 is set at an acute angle to the corresponding first card plate 71, and the pole group card 70 has a free state and a holding state. In the free state, the second card plate 72 is parallel to the inner wall of the receiving groove. In the holding state, the pole group body 20 applies pressure to the first card plate 71, the first card plate 71 is parallel to the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the two second card plates 72 respectively apply a clamping force to the side wall of the pole group body 20.

[0083] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 The electrode group clamp 70 is installed at the bottom of the receiving groove. In its free state, the second clamping plate 72 of the electrode group is parallel to the non-pressing surface of the housing 11, which ensures that the electrode group can pass smoothly when entering the groove. After the electrode group body 20 enters the electrode group clamping groove 73, the second clamping plate 72 is pressed, causing the first clamping plate 71 to tilt up, which can clamp the side wall of the electrode group body 20 and apply a clamping force to the side wall of the electrode group body 20 to ensure a firm clamping.

[0084] The horizontally mountable storage battery 1 provided by this invention can be directly modified from existing storage batteries. It has a simple structure, good performance, and is easy to implement in assembly line production. The assembly steps of the horizontally mountable storage battery 1 are as follows:

[0090] (6) Adjust the second frame 52 along the sliding groove 511 so that the comb teeth 523 are inserted between two adjacent plates. The plate slot 524 holds and fixes the positive plate 21 or the negative plate 22. The first frame 51 abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove and pours hot melt glue 53 into the glue pouring space.

[0091] (7) Seal the receiving groove by the cover 12, and put an O-ring into the mating hole of the terminal post 40 and the cover 12 and add terminal glue to seal the terminal post 40.

[0092] It is understood that the parts in the above embodiments can be freely combined or deleted to form different combined embodiments. The specific contents of each combined embodiment will not be repeated here. After this description, it can be considered that the present invention specification has recorded each combined embodiment and can support different combined embodiments.
