Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0038] As shown in the background technology, in the prior art, when storing and transporting bipolar plates, the bipolar plates are generally stacked on pallets in sequence, and a gasket of a certain thickness is placed between two adjacent bipolar plates to separate the bipolar plates, and then the bipolar plates are fixed to the chassis with packaging tape.

[0039] However, during storage and transportation, the gasket may be misplaced, and the packing tape may exert local force on the bipolar plate, causing deformation of the bipolar plate.

[0040] Based on this, the pole plate support device provided by the present application is provided with a support, a plurality of support members and a plurality of buffer members, and the support has a plurality of mounting parts. The support member has a connecting part and at least one groove, and the connecting part is connected to at least one mounting part to fix the support member on the support, and each support member can jointly form an installation space for accommodating the pole plate. A plurality of buffer members are sequentially arranged in the groove at intervals along the height direction of the support member, and the groove can limit the buffer member. The notch of the groove faces the center of the support, and some buffer members extend out of the groove so that the buffer member can better contact the pole plate. The extended buffer members at the same height are used to jointly support the same pole plate, and can form a flat support surface, which can effectively disperse the load on the pole plate and reduce local stress concentration; and the groove limits the buffer member, which can prevent the buffer member from being misplaced during storage and transportation, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the pole plate.

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the preferred embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar parts or parts with the same or similar functions. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of them. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limitations on the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the electrode plate supporting device provided in the present application includes: a support 100, a plurality of supporting members 200 and a plurality of buffer members 300, and the support 100 has a plurality of mounting portions 110.

[0043] The support member 200 has a connecting portion 210 and at least one groove 220 . The connecting portion 210 is connected to at least one mounting portion 110 . Each support member 200 is used to jointly form an installation space for accommodating the electrode plate. The notch of the groove 220 faces the center of the support 100 .

[0044] A plurality of buffer members 300 are sequentially arranged in the groove 220 at intervals along the height direction of the support member 200 , and some buffer members 300 extend out of the groove 220 . The extended buffer members 300 at the same height are used to support the same electrode plate together.

[0045] It should be noted that the electrode plates provided in the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to the bipolar plate 10, the anode plate and the cathode plate. The present application takes the bipolar plate 10 as an example to illustrate the electrode plate support device.

[0046] The support 100 is the basic structure of the plate support device, providing a stable platform to support and fix other components, ensuring that the device has sufficient stability during use and is not easy to tip over or move. In addition, the support 100 has high rigidity and good flatness, which reduces the possibility of deformation of the bipolar plate 10 during long-term storage and transportation.

[0047] A plurality of mounting portions 110 are provided on the support 100, and the position and number of the support members 200 can be adjusted as needed to change the size and shape of the accommodation space to accommodate bipolar plates 10 of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the scope of application and practicality of the device. For example, the shape of the polar plate can be circular or rectangular, or other shapes, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0048] By arranging the support members 200 on the support 100, each support member 200 can evenly distribute the weight of the bipolar plate 10, further reducing the possibility of bending or deformation of the bipolar plate 10 during storage and transportation. The connecting portion 210 is used to connect the support member 200 with the mounting portion 110 on the support 100, so that the support member 200 can be stably fixed on the support 100 to prevent the support member 200 from loosening or falling off.

[0049] In specific implementation, the number of support members 200 can be increased or decreased as needed to adapt to different numbers or sizes of bipolar plates 10, thereby improving the applicability and flexibility of the device. Through a reasonable layout of the support members 200, the force acting on the bipolar plates 10 can be effectively dispersed and transmitted, reducing local stress concentration, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the bipolar plates 10.

[0050] At least one groove 220 is provided on the support member 200, providing an installation position for the buffer member 300, the notch of the groove 220 faces the center of the support 100, and part of the buffer member 300 extends out of the groove 220, so that the buffer member 300 can better contact the bipolar plate 10 and provide uniform support for the bipolar plate 10. By inserting the buffer member 300 into the groove 220, the groove 220 can limit the buffer member 300, and can prevent the buffer member 300 located on the same support member 200 from being misaligned, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the bipolar plate 10.

[0051] The protruding buffer members 300 at the same height jointly support the same bipolar plate 10 to form a uniform supporting surface, so as to evenly distribute the load, reduce local stress concentration, and further reduce the possibility of deformation of the bipolar plate 10 .

[0052] It should also be noted that the buffer 300 can provide a buffering and shock absorbing effect to protect the bipolar plate 10 from damage caused by vibration and impact during storage and transportation. The buffer 300 can reduce the stress concentration on the surface and structure of the bipolar plate 10 by absorbing and dispersing the externally applied force, further reducing the possibility of damage. The buffer 300 can be made of a soft or elastic material, which can absorb vibration and impact and provide buffering protection. For example, the buffer 300 can be a rubber pad.

[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple grooves 220 , and the grooves 220 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the support member 200 .

[0054] Specifically, the plurality of grooves 220 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the support member 200 , which can prevent the buffer member 300 located on the same support member 200 from being misaligned.

[0055] It should be noted that by sequentially arranging a plurality of grooves 220 at different heights of the support member 200 and installing the buffer member 300 in the groove 220, the weight of the bipolar plate 10 can be supported in layers. That is, the weight of each layer of the bipolar plate 10 can be borne by the buffer member 300 and the groove 220 at the corresponding height, rather than being all concentrated on the bipolar plate 10 at the bottom, further improving the reliability of the support device.

[0056] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the vertical projections of the buffer members 300 located on the same support member 200 toward the support 100 overlap.

[0057] It can be understood that the overlapping vertical projections can ensure that each bipolar plate 10 is subjected to a more uniform force, further reducing the possibility of deformation of the bipolar plate 10. By providing consistent and uniform support, the bipolar plate 10 can be prevented from warping or bending, and its structural integrity can be maintained.

[0058] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the plate support device further includes a plurality of connectors 400, the mounting portion 110 is a mounting hole, the connecting portion 210 is a connecting hole, and the connectors 400 are connected to the support 100 via the connecting holes and the mounting holes in sequence.

[0059] Specifically, by firmly fixing the support member 200 to the support 100 through the connecting member 400, the structural stability of the entire support device can be enhanced, ensuring a close connection between the support member 200 and the support 100, and further reducing loosening or displacement that may occur during transportation or storage.

[0060] It should be noted that the connecting member 400 can be a screw, which is connected to the support 100 through the connecting hole and the mounting hole in sequence, which is convenient for quick installation and disassembly, and convenient for adjusting the position of the support member 200 to adapt to bipolar plates 10 of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the applicability of the support device.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting hole is a long hole.

[0062] It should be noted that the elongated hole provides a larger adjustment range. By moving the connector 400 in the elongated hole, the support member 200 can freely adjust its position within a certain range, so that the support member 200 can be fine-tuned on the support 100 to adapt to bipolar plates 10 of different sizes, thereby improving the versatility of the device and enabling it to be used in a variety of application scenarios.

[0063] Since the long holes provide a continuous adjustment range rather than multiple fixed positions, the support member 200 can be infinitely (continuously) adjusted according to actual needs, so that the support member 200 can be positioned more accurately to ensure a better support effect.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the electrode plate supporting device further includes a plurality of pressing members 500 , and the pressing members 500 are correspondingly arranged on the supporting member 200 , and the pressing members 500 are connected to the buffer member 300 located at the top.

[0065] It can be understood that the pressing member 500 can effectively fix the bipolar plate 10 on the support member 200 by connecting with the buffer member 300 located at the top, thereby preventing the bipolar plate 10 from being displaced or falling off due to vibration or impact during transportation and storage.

[0066] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the support member 200 is inserted into the groove 220, and a portion of the pressing member 500 extends out of the groove 220 to connect with the buffer member 300 located at the top.

[0067] Specifically, the groove 220 provides an insertion position for the pressing member 500 , and the groove 220 allows the pressing member 500 to be quickly inserted and fixed, which is convenient for operation and improves work efficiency.

[0068] The groove 220 can limit the rotation or tilt of the clamping piece 500, ensuring that it always remains in the correct direction and angle, so that the clamping piece 500 applies uniform pressure, preventing the bipolar plate 10 from being subjected to uneven stress during the fixing process, and further solving the problem in the prior art that the tension of the strapping tape and the uncertain force position cause local deformation of the gap in the bipolar plate 10.

[0069] It should be noted that after the pressing member 500 is inserted into the groove 220 , bolts and nuts may be used to fix the pressing member 500 to the supporting member 200 to further enhance the stability of the pressing member 500 .

[0070] In some embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the plate supporting device further includes a plurality of fasteners 600 , and the protruding pressing member 500 is connected to the buffer member 300 located at the top through the fasteners 600 .

[0071] It can be understood that the fastener 600 provides a strong mechanical connection, making the connection between the pressing member 500 and the buffer member 300 more stable, which helps prevent the pressing member 500 from loosening or shifting during transportation and storage, thereby maintaining the stability of the bipolar plate 10. For example, the fastener 600 can be a screw and a nut, or other parts, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0072] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, a first supporting portion 230 is provided on the supporting member 200 , and the first supporting portion 230 is arranged along the height direction of the supporting member 200 .

[0073] Specifically, the vertically disposed first support portion 230 can increase the overall stability of the support member 200 , reduce the tilt or shake caused by vibration or external force during transportation and storage, and further improve the reliability of the support member 200 .

[0074] In some embodiments, a second supporting portion 120 is disposed on a surface of the support 100 facing away from the supporting member 200 .

[0075] It can be understood that by providing a second support portion 120 at the bottom of the support 100, a gap can be formed between the support 100 and the supporting surface (such as the ground). When using a forklift or other handling equipment, the fork arm of the forklift can be easily inserted into the gap, thereby facilitating the lifting and moving of the entire support device.

[0076] It should be noted that when storing and transporting the circular bipolar plate 10, the surface of the support 100 can be cleaned first to ensure that there are no particles, and the bipolar plate 10 can be placed in the center of its surface. Then adjust the support 200 so that each support 200 is attached to the circumference of the bipolar plate 10, and fix the support 200 to the support 100. Put the buffer 300 in the groove 220 at the same height of each support 200, place the bipolar plate 10 on the buffer 300, and then put the buffer 300 in the groove 220 at another height, and so on, repeat the arrangement and stacking. Finally, put the clamping member 500 into the groove 220 of each support 200 in turn, and fix the clamping member 500 to the support 200. Use a torque wrench to press the screws on the clamping member 500 onto the buffer 300 at the top, and lock it with a nut. All clamping screws use the same torque.

[0077] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the plate support device provided in the present application is provided with a plurality of mounting portions 110 on the support 100 by providing a support 100, a plurality of support members 200 and a plurality of buffer members 300. The support member 200 is provided with a connecting portion 210 and at least one groove 220, and the connecting portion 210 is connected to at least one mounting portion 110 to fix the support member 200 on the support 100, and each support member 200 can jointly form an installation space for accommodating the plate. A plurality of buffer members 300 are sequentially arranged in the groove 220 at intervals along the height direction of the support member 200, and the groove 220 can limit the buffer member 300. The notch of the groove 220 faces the center of the support 100, and part of the buffer member 300 extends out of the groove 220 so that the buffer member 300 can better contact the plate. The extended buffer members 300 at the same height are used to jointly support the same electrode plate, forming a flat supporting surface, which can effectively disperse the load on the electrode plate and reduce local stress concentration; and the groove 220 limits the buffer member 300, which can prevent the buffer member 300 from being misplaced during storage and transportation, thereby reducing the possibility of deformation of the electrode plate.
