Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of energy storage equipment, in particular to an all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage equipment and a processing tool thereof. Background Art

[0002] All-vanadium liquid flow batteries are the most technologically mature and safest liquid flow batteries at this stage. Compared with lithium batteries and lead-acid batteries, all-vanadium liquid flow batteries have better safety characteristics, flexible expansion, longer life cycle and greater durability, and have become the main development direction of liquid flow batteries.

[0003] The all-vanadium liquid flow battery uses the change in the valence of vanadium ions to achieve the conversion between electrical energy and chemical energy. The all-vanadium liquid flow battery is mainly composed of three parts: the stack structure, the electrolyte circulation unit and the management and control unit.

[0004] In the application process of all-vanadium liquid flow batteries, the battery stack structure realizes the charging and discharging process of the energy storage device by realizing the oxidation and reduction of the positive and negative electrolytes. Therefore, it is the core module of the all-vanadium liquid flow battery.

[0005] At present, the stack structure of all-vanadium liquid flow batteries is mainly composed of end plates, current collecting plates and multiple single cell assemblies. The single cell assembly is composed of bipolar plates, electrodes, ion membranes and external seals. In order to ensure the power density of the liquid flow battery stack, it is necessary to stack a lot of single cell groups, and then charge and discharge through the current collecting effect of the current collecting plates. However, this stacked liquid flow battery stack structure, in order to store energy density, not only increases the overall structural weight of the battery stack through the stacked single cell groups, but also in order to keep the single cell groups tightly arranged, it is necessary to pull the end plates to make the single cell groups tightly arranged. Therefore, when the single cell group is damaged and needs to be disassembled, the end plates also need to be disassembled to separate the single cell group, so the operation is very cumbersome.

[0006] At the same time, in order to contain the electrolyte, the current liquid flow battery often needs to be equipped with a tank containing positive electrolyte and negative electrolyte, and cooperate with the circulation system to control the flow of electrolyte to provide electrolyte for the reaction to the battery stack. However, the structure of this liquid flow battery requires the management and maintenance of the electrolyte storage tank. The storage tank and the battery stack are mostly controlled separately. Not only is the structural integration poor and not conducive to transportation and use, but the overall volume of the all-vanadium liquid flow battery cannot be reduced, which limits the application scenarios of the all-vanadium liquid flow battery.

[0007] As for the stack structure of the above-mentioned all-vanadium liquid flow battery, the current all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage equipment needs to stack and combine the single battery groups of the all-vanadium liquid flow battery during production. Therefore, during the installation process, the stack combination of the all-vanadium liquid flow battery needs to use a high-precision robot to composite and assemble multiple single batteries together, and then assemble them through the pulling action of bolts. During the processing, not only is it necessary to ensure the high-precision overlap of the battery arrangement, but the stacking process also relies on the cooperation of multiple robots. Not only is the processing efficiency limited, but the extra equipment also causes heavy management and maintenance work. In view of this, in-depth research was conducted on the above-mentioned problems, which led to the creation of this case. Summary of the invention

[0035] Beneficial Effects

[0036] The present invention provides an all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage device and its processing tooling.

At the same time, the single battery groups do not need to be stacked during processing, and the operation is convenient and fast. It has the following specific advantages;

[0037] 1. The integrity of the flow battery is improved by arranging the first electrolyte storage tank and the second electrolyte storage tank in a concentric ring shape. The two together constitute the supporting structure of the battery. The first electrolyte storage tank and the second electrolyte storage tank are used to install the flow battery stack structure in the middle, which plays a supporting role and has a compact structure. The appearance structure of the energy storage device is unified and has good structural strength;

[0038] 2. The liquid flow battery stack structure is divided into different sectors in a ring array.

The multiple single battery groups 2 are installed through the rolling frame 141, and the single battery groups 2 are partitioned and managed for easy inspection and maintenance;

[0062] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 It can be known that the first electrolyte storage tank 12 is a cylindrical storage tank, and the second electrolyte storage tank 13 is a cavity shell of a missing arc annular structure. The missing arc sector of the second electrolyte storage tank 13 has the same angle as the sector of a single mounting position 146.

A blocking plate 145 is provided on the outer side of the mounting position 146 of the corresponding sector. The blocking plate 145 blocks the opening side of the sector of the mounting position 146 by means of plug-in limiting to ensure the sealing during the operation of the equipment;

[0065] In the specific implementation process, the above-mentioned installation position 146 is a groove of a rectangular structure. Several partitions 144 in the installation position 146 are in contact with the sides of several single battery groups 2. Several partitions are provided with shunt inlets, which are connected to the electrolyte flow channel 148. The shunt channel is connected to the liquid outlet end of the circulation control system 15. The shunt channel is connected to the circulation control system 15. Under the shunt effect of the shunt channel, the electrolyte enters the partition from the shunt inlet, and then passes into the single battery group 2 through the shunt inlet, and then flows into the electrolyte channel of the electrode 22. While the electrolyte channel plays a circulation role, the circulation and contact area of ​​the electrolyte are increased, and the charging and discharging operations are completed faster and more efficiently.

The diverter 154 is provided with a main control pipe, which is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 153. The docking ring pipe 156 is provided with a plurality of joints corresponding to the number of mounting positions 146, and the plurality of joints are connected to the plurality of docking ports 157. The number of diverter channels 147 corresponds to the number of mounting positions 146. The diverter channels 147 corresponding to the mounting positions 146 are divided into a positive diverter channel 147 and a negative diverter channel 147. Further, the positive diverter channel 147 and the negative diverter channel 147 are both divided into an upstream channel and a downstream channel.

[0072] In the specific implementation process, in order to improve the versatility of the equipment and the interchangeability between parts, the structure of the concentrator 155 and the diverter 154 is the same, but they are connected to the upper and lower liquid ends of the electrolyte circulation through different docking ring tubes 156, wherein the diverter 154 is connected to the upstream flow channel through the docking ring tube 156, and the joint on the docking ring tube 156 and the docking port 157 of the diverter 154 form a threaded connection structure, which is convenient for removing and replacing the joint of the diverter 154, and one side of the diverter 154 is connected to the circulation control pump 151, which is different from the side of the concentrator 155. The concentrator 155 is connected to the downstream flow channel through the docking ring tube 156, and then the concentrator 155 is connected to the first electrolyte storage tank 12 or the second electrolyte storage tank 13 through the reflux pipe 158.

[0073] In order to seal the electrolyte during maintenance of a single sector, the flow of the sector is cut off and a valve is set at the connection head of the diverter 154 to switch and seal the electrolyte flow path. The flow of the electrolyte in a single sector can be controlled, which is convenient for maintenance and does not affect the working status of the single battery group 2 in other sectors.

[0074] Example 2: In the production process of the above-mentioned all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage device 1, unlike the single battery group 2 that is tightly arranged and pulled together, the present application adopts a plug-in installation method to install the liquid flow battery single battery group 2. However, in order to increase the input and output power of the battery group and increase the number of single battery groups 2, a multi-faceted installation storage structure arranged in a ring array is adopted in the present application.

[0075] See also Figure 11-13 The present invention provides an implementation scheme 2: according to the attached description Figure 11-13 It can be known that the present application also discloses a processing tool 3 of an all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage device, wherein the specific assembly seat 31 is the supporting body of the tool, the assembly seat 31 is a frame of a rectangular structure, a rotating frame 32 is arranged on the assembly seat 31, and the rotating frame 32 can be rotated on the assembly seat 31 by rotating the frame 32, and then the rotating frame 32 plays the role of installing and supporting the rolling frame 141 as the liquid flow battery frame, and then an assembly tool is arranged on one side of the rotating frame 32, and the single battery group 2 is assembled to the rolling frame 141 by the assembly tool to complete the assembly, and the bottom surface of the rolling frame 141 is arranged in a ring array with a plurality of reverse-pull threaded holes, and a plurality of movable reverse-pull screws are arranged on the rotating frame 32 corresponding to the plurality of reverse-pull threaded holes, and the plurality of movable reverse-pull screws are correspondingly threadedly connected in the plurality of reverse-pull threaded holes to realize the reverse-pull effect on the rolling frame 141;

[0076] Specifically, according to the instructions Figure 11-13The above-mentioned assembly tooling includes a guide rail frame 33, which is installed on one side of the assembly seat 31. A sliding seat 34 is arranged on the guide rail frame 33, and a track is arranged on the sliding seat 34 to cooperate with the guide rail frame 33. A telescopic plug-in component 35 is arranged on the guide rail frame 33 to link with the sliding seat 34, and the sliding seat 34 is supported by the guide rail frame 33, and it plays a role in limiting the sliding seat 34, so that the sliding seat 34 can only move along the track structure on the guide rail frame 33. A pair of sliding blocks 342 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the sliding seat 34, and a pair of sliding rails are arranged on the guide rail frame 33 to match the pair of sliding blocks 342, which play a stabilizing role in the movement of the sliding seat 34, and then a telescopic plug-in component 35 is arranged on the sliding seat 34, and the telescopic plug-in component 35 is used to control the movement direction and distance of the sliding seat 34, so that the sliding seat 34 contacts the side of the rolling frame 141;

[0077] Specifically, the telescopic plug-in assembly 35 comprises a fixing slot 351. The guide rail frame 33 is provided with a fixing slot 351. A telescopic push rod 352 is installed in the fixing slot 351. The fixing slot 351 is axially parallel to the movement direction of the sliding seat 34. The telescopic push rod 352 is controlled to move telescopically, and then a guide rail seat 353 is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic push rod 352. The guide rail seat 353 is connected to the bottom surface of the sliding seat 34. The movement of the guide rail seat 353 drives the sliding seat 34 to move, and then drives the push structure 36 placed on the sliding seat 34 to move. The guide rail seat 353 matches the fixing slot 351 to play a stabilizing role, making the movement of the sliding seat 34 more stable. When in use, the sliding seat 34 is first pushed to one side of the assembly seat 31 by the telescopic plug-in assembly 35, so that the sliding block 342 corresponds to the side of the mounting position 146 of the rolling frame 141.

[0078] When assembling the single battery group 2, the single battery group 2 needs to be arranged in a matrix structure to facilitate installation. A push structure 36 is provided on the sliding seat 34. The sliding seat 34 is provided with a plurality of slots 341. The push structure 36 corresponds to the plurality of slots 341. A plurality of single battery groups 2 are placed in the plurality of slots 341. The push structure 36 is used to push the single battery group 2 to move. The push structure 36 pushes the plurality of single battery groups 2 out of the slots 341 synchronously, so as to enter the installation position 146 of the rolling frame 141.

[0079] A rotation control assembly 37 is connected between the rotating frame 32 and the assembly seat 31 to control the rotation of the rotating frame 32. After the single battery pack 2 in the installation position 146 on one side of the rolling frame 141 is assembled, the rotating frame 32 is rotated to the installation position 146 on the other side by controlling the rotation control assembly 37.

[0080] Specifically, the rotation control assembly 37 includes a rotation gear 371 . The rotation gear 371 is installed below the rotating frame 32 . A gear set 372 is provided on the assembly seat 31 to be linked with the rotation gear 371 .

[0081] In the specific implementation process, the gear set 372 is controlled to rotate so that the gear set 372 is engaged with the rotating gear 371, and then the rotating frame 32 is driven to rotate horizontally on the assembly seat 31 under the driving action of the rotating gear 371, so as to adjust the front side of the different installation positions 146 of the rolling frame 141 to correspond to the sliding seat 34.

[0082] According to the instruction manual Fig.13 It can be known that the push structure 36 includes a push seat 361, which is installed on one side of the sliding seat 34, and a push rod 362 is provided on the push seat 361, and a push plate 363 is provided at the telescopic end of the push rod 362, and a plurality of push blocks 364 are provided on the push plate 363, and the plurality of push blocks 364 match the width of the plurality of slots 341;

[0083] In the specific implementation process, the push seat 361 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 34, which plays a supporting role for the push rod 362, and then the push plate 363 on the telescopic end of the push rod 362 and the several push blocks 364 arranged in a comb shape match the several slots 341. When the sliding seat 34 corresponds to the side of the installation position 146, the push rod 362 drives the push plate 363 and the several push blocks 364 to push out the single battery group 2 placed in the slot 341, so that the single battery group 2 is pushed into different compartments of the installation position 146.

[0084] From the above, it can be generally known that the all-vanadium liquid flow energy storage device 1 and its processing tooling 3, in view of the shortcomings of the current liquid flow battery stacking method, adopt an integrally designed stack structure, and support and install the liquid flow battery stack structure 14 thereon through a concentric annular frame formed by the first electrolyte storage tank 12 and the second electrolyte storage tank 13. The liquid flow battery stack structure 14 adopts a fan-shaped partitioning form to install multiple groups of single battery groups 2, and the structure is compact and has higher integrity. At the same time, there is no need to stack the single battery groups 2 during processing, and they can be quickly installed through tooling, which is convenient and fast to operate.
