[0002] With the rapid emergence and development of new technologies in the fields of information technology, electronic products and new energy vehicles, the research and development of energy storage capacitors has received more and more attention. Energy storage capacitors are a new type of energy storage device between traditional capacitors and rechargeable batteries. They have both the large current fast charging and discharging characteristics of capacitors and the energy storage characteristics of batteries. Their capacity can reach several thousand farads. Compared with traditional capacitors, energy storage capacitors have higher capacity, and compared with batteries, they have the advantages of fast charging speed, high energy density, wide operating temperature range and long cycle life, and they are pollution-free to the environment. They are especially suitable for high-frequency, high-power and high-energy charging and discharging applications. Therefore, they have a wide market demand in national strategic emerging industries such as rail transit, wind power generation, public buses, electric vehicles, and smart grids.

[0003] At present, the electrode lead-out mechanism of the energy storage capacitor mainly includes a pole, a transfer plate, a current collector and a cover plate. For example, a Chinese patent document with publication number CN112821015A discloses a copper-aluminum composite pole, negative electrode cover plate assembly structure and energy storage unit, wherein a battery cell is inserted into the shell of the energy storage unit, and the top of the battery cell is fixedly connected to the negative electrode cover plate assembly through the negative electrode collector plate, and the negative electrode cover plate assembly includes a negative pole assembly, a first cover plate, a first insulating member, and a second insulating member; the negative pole assembly includes a pole and a chassis, a second center hole is opened in the center of the chassis, and a first boss is provided at the bottom of the pole, the outer diameter of the first boss is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the second center hole of the chassis, the first boss is pressed into the second center hole, and the two are interference fit, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the pole and the chassis, and the chassis is fixed to the negative electrode collector plate by welding; the first cover plate is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pole of the negative pole assembly, and a first insulating member and a second insulating member are sequentially arranged between the first cover plate and the pole from top to bottom for insulation, and the corresponding surfaces of the first insulating member and the second insulating member abut against each other. However, in the above-mentioned negative electrode lead-out mechanism, the negative electrode column and the chassis as the adapter plate are connected by interference fit, and the negative electrode column assembly and the first cover plate are provided with a first insulating member and a second insulating member to play the role of insulation and sealing. The structure is complex and there are many parts, which leads to low production and assembly efficiency, cumbersome processing and manufacturing process of energy storage capacitors, and high manufacturing cost. The Chinese patent document with announcement number CN210984547U discloses a negative electrode lead-out structure and an energy storage monomer, wherein the negative electrode adapter plate and the cover plate are both provided with a central hole, and the negative electrode column passes through the central hole of the negative electrode adapter plate and the cover plate and is electrically connected to the negative electrode adapter plate; a sealing ring is provided between the negative electrode column and the cover plate for electrical insulation; an insulating plastic block is fixed to the outer periphery of the negative electrode column, and the lower end face of the insulating plastic block is pressed against the upper end face of the cover plate; a first step is provided on the outer periphery of the negative electrode adapter plate, and when the negative electrode adapter plate is welded to the negative current collector, the outer periphery of the first step is inserted into the inner diameter of the flange of the negative current collector. Due to the provision of a negative current collector, a negative electrode adapter, a cover plate, and a negative electrode pole, the connection between these components and the entire negative electrode lead-out structure also have the problems of complex structure, low manufacturing and assembly efficiency, and high cost.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the electrode lead-out mechanism of the energy storage device and its processing and manufacturing process, to solve the problems of complex structure and inconvenient assembly and connection between the electrode poles, adapter plates, current collectors and cover plates, to improve the processing and manufacturing efficiency of the energy storage capacitor and reduce production costs.
