Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical energy storage, and in particular to an end plate pressing component for assembling a stack of a liquid flow battery. Background Art

[0002] The assembly of the flow battery stack is its core component process, which involves integrating multiple battery cells in a specific order and manner to ensure efficient energy conversion and stable operation of the battery. The stack is usually composed of components such as positive and negative electrodes, diaphragms, flow channels and end plates. Each battery cell includes positive and negative electrodes, electrolyte flow channels and diaphragms, while the flow channel plate is responsible for guiding the flow of electrolyte and optimizing the contact between the electrolyte and the electrodes. The battery cells are fixed and compressed by the end plate clamping member to ensure good contact and sealing between the various components, prevent leakage and reduce internal resistance. In the assembly of the flow battery stack, the end plate clamping member is an important component to ensure close contact between the internal components of the stack and the performance of the battery. Usually, the end plate is used to squeeze and fix the internal battery components, and mechanically apply pressure to maintain good sealing between the battery cells. Generally, the end plate is fixed and compressed by bolts around the upper and lower end plates. The clamping member can not only effectively prevent electrolyte leakage, but also reduce the internal resistance of the battery during operation and improve energy conversion efficiency.

[0003] In the prior art, in the end plate clamping components for flow battery stack assembly, the use of bolts to fix the end plate in a circle can effectively ensure the compression and sealing of the battery cell, but too many bolts will cause the following problems: a large number of bolts will increase the complexity of the assembly process, and workers will need to spend more time and energy to install and adjust each bolt, which reduces production efficiency. In addition, when too many bolts are used, the pressure applied will be uneven, especially if the bolts are not tightened in sequence or evenly, which may cause certain parts to be subjected to excessive pressure and cause damage to the battery cell. In addition, although the end plate is fixed and clamped by bolts, since the bolts are mainly distributed at the edge of the end plate, the end plate will often be deformed during the force application process, resulting in insufficient clamping force in the middle area, thereby causing the contact resistance of the internal center part to increase, thereby affecting the battery performance. For this reason, those skilled in the art have proposed an end plate clamping component for flow battery stack assembly to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0011] Preferably, the upper end plate and the lower end plate are connected by connecting bolts, and a liquid inlet is provided on one side of the upper end plate and the lower end plate, and a liquid outlet is provided on the other side of the upper end plate and the lower end plate.

[0012] Preferably, the limit assembly includes a limit groove, which is opened inside the upper end plate, and a spring 2 is arranged inside the upper end plate, one end of the spring 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limit groove, and the other end of the spring 2 is fixedly connected to a limit block 2, and a protrusion is fixedly connected to the outer side of the limit block 2, and a groove is opened inside the side plate, and the inside of the groove matches the outside of the protrusion.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning block, and the other end of the pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the top end of the upper end plate.

[0014] Preferably, the interior of the guide block is slidably connected to the exterior of the guide rod, and the exterior of the positioning block is slidably connected to the interior of the positioning groove.

[0015] Preferably, the interior of the mounting groove is slidably connected to the exterior of the limiting block 1, the interior of the connecting column is slidably connected to the exterior of the pull rope, and the lower side of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the four pull ropes.

[0016] Preferably, the interior of the limiting groove is slidably connected to the exterior of the second limiting block, and the exterior of the protrusion is arc-shaped.

[0017] Preferably, the central control system includes:

[0018] The acquisition module is used to transmit the information collected by the pressure sensor and the position sensor to the central control system;

[0019] An analysis module, which is used to analyze the information collected in the central control system;

[0020] The drive module is used to drive the electric push rod according to the analyzed information.

[0021] Working principle: First, place the lower clamping plate, lower end plate, lower feed plate, battery body, upper feed plate, upper end plate and upper clamping plate in order from bottom to top. The positioning blocks on the upper and lower clamping plates match the positioning grooves of the upper and lower end plates, and multiple disc spring groups are welded at the connection between the upper and lower clamping plates and the upper and lower end plates.

[0022] Secondly, the upper clamping plate is connected to the lower clamping plate through the connecting column, so that the rotating rod can be driven to rotate by turning the knob, thereby driving the pull rope to move inward. This process will cause the limit block 1 to move accordingly, further driving the card block to move, and adjusting the upper and lower clamping plates to the appropriate position. Subsequently, the elastic action of the spring 1 causes the limit block to move outward and drives the card block into the card slot, thereby achieving a firm combination of the card block and the card slot, ensuring that the upper and lower clamping plates can apply sufficient pressure to the upper and lower end plates.

[0023] Next, use the connecting bolts to fix the upper end plate and the lower end plate, so that the side plate is aligned with the notches of the upper and lower end plates and spliced. At this time, the extrusion convex block moves inward, driving the limit block 2 to move with it. When the side plate moves to the appropriate position, the elastic action of the second spring causes the limit block 2 to move outward and drive the convex block into the groove, thereby achieving a firm combination of the convex block and the groove, ensuring that the side plate is effectively fixed, and completing the entire assembly process.

[0024] Finally, the position and pressure of the two positioning blocks are collected through pressure sensors and position sensors. When one side is offset or the pressure is too high, the collected data is transmitted to the central control system, and then transmitted to the drive module after analysis by the analysis module, thereby starting the operation of the electric push rod on one side, thereby driving the positioning block on one side to move, so that the positioning block can be adaptively adjusted.

[0025] The present invention provides an end plate clamping component for assembling a flow battery stack. The end plate clamping component has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The present invention makes modular assembly more efficient and convenient through positioning blocks and buckle assemblies. This design effectively reduces the tedious steps that workers need to adjust and install each bolt one by one during the assembly process, greatly improving work efficiency. In addition, the use of connecting columns and buckle assemblies between the upper and lower clamping plates not only significantly reduces the number of bolts required, but also further simplifies the overall assembly process. By reducing the number of components and assembly links, the present invention effectively reduces the complexity of assembly, thereby saving valuable time costs and improving production efficiency.

[0027] 2. The present invention ensures uniform distribution of force when applying pressure through the design of the disc spring group and the spring. The elastic effect of the second spring helps the side plate absorb the local uneven pressure. In addition, the coordinated movement of the rotating knob and the pull rope allows the pressure between the upper and lower clamping plates to be flexibly adjusted, thereby ensuring uniform distribution of pressure between each battery cell. This design not only improves the stability of the system, but also extends the service life of the battery and reduces potential failures caused by uneven pressure.

[0028] 3. The present invention makes the disassembly of the upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate more efficient through the integrated rotation mechanism. Workers only need to turn the knob to easily loosen them without removing all the bolts one by one, and pull the side plate to squeeze the protrusion to move, so that the side plate can be easily removed, thereby reducing the risk of bolts being lost or damaged during maintenance, simplifying the subsequent maintenance process, and improving work efficiency.

[0029] 4. The present invention monitors the positioning block through pressure sensors and position sensors, and transmits the data to the central control system for analysis, thereby driving the adaptive adjustment of the electric push rod, which can significantly improve the safety, efficiency and reliability of the system, and also bring better experience and operational convenience to users.
