Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electrochemical energy storage devices, and more particularly to a packaging device for electrochemical energy storage devices. Background Art

[0002] In existing electrochemical energy storage device products such as lead-acid batteries and lead-carbon batteries, when in use, they are connected to external devices through the pole columns to meet the power supply requirements. During use, when they are in a power failure state, it is necessary to replace and add the internal acid-base solution. Therefore, it is necessary to remove multiple injection caps on the battery cover and perform the injection operation through the injection holes.

[0003] However, currently, in electrochemical energy storage device products such as lead-acid batteries and lead-carbon batteries, the sealing method mostly uses rubber seals. When the rubber seal is under the long-term loading of the top cover above the injection hole and under the long-term influence of the high temperature generated during the operation of the energy storage device, it will accelerate the process of material fatigue aging of the seal, easily cause the seal to deform, thus losing tightness, resulting in a decline in the sealing performance of the electrochemical energy storage device product, making it difficult for the traditional packaging form of the electrochemical energy storage device product to resist the erosion of external liquids. Especially when there is a sudden heavy rain in summer and a large amount of accumulated water is generated, it is extremely easy for electric vehicles and other electrical tools equipped with electrochemical energy storage device products to be flooded. When the accumulated water invades the product interior and then flows into the injection hole, it will cause performance deterioration and product failure. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Optionally, the U-shaped frame includes a horizontal section, and a first vertical section and a second vertical section are respectively provided at both ends of the horizontal section; A wedge-shaped portion is connected to one side of the first vertical section close to the overflow prevention and absorption member.

[0007] Optionally, a positioning chamber for the horizontal section in the U-shaped frame to move vertically is formed at each position corresponding to the U-shaped frame on the outer ring wall of the annular water-blocking seat; The horizontal section slides up and down within the corresponding positioning chamber; One end of the first vertical section away from the horizontal section is connected to the passive annular frame, and one end of the first vertical section away from the passive annular frame vertically slides into the positioning chamber through the rectangular execution groove and is connected to the horizontal section; One end of the second vertical section away from the horizontal section is connected to the annular carrier.

[0008] Optionally, one end of the return spring is connected to the horizontal section in the U-shaped frame, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall of the positioning chamber.

[0009] Optionally, a plate groove for accommodating the material-blocking baffle and communicating with the rectangular execution groove is formed on the outer ring wall of the annular water-blocking seat, and the material-blocking baffle is connected within the plate groove; The water-swellable particles in the sensing driving member are filled in the space surrounded by the material-blocking baffle, the rectangular execution groove, the passive annular frame, and the annular elastic diaphragm.

[0010] Optionally, the overflow prevention and absorption member includes a fixed outer frame and a synchronous push plate, and a passive convex portion is connected to one side of the synchronous push plate close to the wedge-shaped portion; A plurality of thorn film needles are evenly connected to the other side of the synchronous push plate; A blocking film is connected within the inner cavity of the fixed outer frame; The overflow prevention and absorption member also includes water-swellable particles.

[0011] Optionally, a side position groove communicating with the positioning chamber is formed on the inner ring wall of the annular water-blocking seat; The synchronous push plate slides horizontally in the side groove, and one end of the wedge-shaped part away from the first vertical section extends into the side groove; The fixed outer frame is connected to the inner ring wall of the annular water-blocking seat and covers the opening at the end of the side groove.

[0013] Optionally, the spiked part of the thorn film needle faces the blocking film.

[0014] In summary, the present application includes the following beneficial technical effects: 1. When the capping structure is encapsulated on the battery body, the gap between the capping structure and the annular barrier groove is sealed by the sealing component. And when the sealing component suffers from fatigue aging and causes sealing failure, the annular barrier groove captures the intruding liquid, isolates the intruding liquid from the liquid injection hole on the battery body, and after the strong plugging component absorbs the liquid in the annular barrier groove, it can reversely apply a downward pressure to the sealing component, which can directly reduce the gap between the sealing surface of the sealing component and the bottom wall of the encapsulation containment groove, so as to achieve the effect of temporarily restoring the sealing performance of the sealing component, preventing further intrusion of external liquid, thus preventing further damage to the internal structure of the energy storage device by the liquid, prolonging the service life of the electrochemical energy storage device, and also being beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of the operation of the electrochemical energy storage device product.

[0015] 2. After the liquid in the annular barrier groove comes into contact with the water-swellable particles in the sensing driving member, the water-swellable particles absorb the liquid and rapidly expand in volume, and drive the annular sealing gasket in the sealing component to move downward through the U-shaped frame, so as to achieve the effect of reversely applying a downward pressure to the sealing component and reducing the gap between the sealing surface of the sealing component and the bottom wall of the encapsulation containment groove, forming a first protective barrier, and further preventing further intrusion of external liquid.

[0016] 3. After the water-swellable particles in the sensing driving member absorb the liquid and reversely apply a downward pressure to the sealing component, when the water-swellable particles that absorb water and expand drive the passive annular frame to be restricted, the pressure of the water-swellable particles that further expand in volume after absorbing water on the inner wall of the annular elastic diaphragm increases and drives the annular elastic diaphragm to elastically bulge outwards, so that the annular elastic diaphragm that undergoes elastic deformation closely adheres to the bottom wall of the annular barrier groove, thereby further blocking the channel for liquid intrusion, and on the basis of the first protective barrier, forming a second protective barrier, effectively separating the liquid from the liquid injection hole on the battery body, and improving the encapsulation and sealing effect between the battery body and the capping structure.

[0017] 4. When the sensing driving part located inside the annular barrier groove contacts the liquid and drives the U-shaped frame to move downward, the U-shaped frame drives the passive convex part in the anti-overflow absorption part to move horizontally through the wedge-shaped part thereon. During this process, the puncturing film needle punctures the blocking film, and the moving synchronous push plate continuously pushes the water-swellable particles into the space enclosed by the inner ring wall of the annular water-blocking seat and the annular barrier groove. After the second protective barrier is formed by the water-swellable particles, the remaining liquid in the annular barrier groove is absorbed, preventing the liquid from overflowing and flowing into the liquid injection hole on the battery body as the electrochemical energy storage device shakes, thereby further forming a protective barrier. This triple protection mechanism can minimize the potential damage to the electrochemical energy storage device after liquid intrusion and ensure the encapsulation and sealing effect between the battery body and the cover structure.

A rectangular execution groove is provided at the bottom end of the annular water blocking seat 202, and a sensing driving part connected to the annular carrier 204 in the sealing component is provided in the rectangular execution groove.

[0022] The electrochemical energy storage device in this application is a lead-acid battery or a lead-carbon battery.

[0023] When the cover structure is packaged on the battery main body 101, the gap between the cover structure and the annular barrier groove 103 is sealed by the sealing component located on the outer periphery of the remedial strong plugging component in the cover structure. And when the sealing component fails due to fatigue aging, the liquid invading is captured by the annular barrier groove 103 in the battery main body 101 for accommodating the remedial strong plugging component, and the invading liquid is isolated from the liquid injection hole on the battery main body 101. After the remedial strong plugging component absorbs the liquid in the annular barrier groove 103, it can reversely apply a downward pressure to the sealing component, which can directly reduce the gap between the sealing surface of the sealing component and the bottom wall of the encapsulation accommodating groove 102, so as to achieve the effect of temporarily restoring the sealing performance of the sealing component, preventing further invasion of external liquid, thereby preventing further damage to the internal structure of the energy storage device by the liquid, prolonging the service life of the electrochemical energy storage device, and also being beneficial to improving the reliability and safety of the operation of the electrochemical energy storage device product.

The annular elastic diaphragm 210 is preferably made of rubber material; On the outer ring wall of the annular water blocking seat 202, a plate groove for accommodating the material blocking baffle 213 and communicating with the rectangular execution groove is opened, and the material blocking baffle 213 is connected in the plate groove. The water-swellable particles 214 in the sensing driving member are filled in the space surrounded by the material blocking baffle 213, the rectangular execution groove, the passive annular frame 209 and the annular elastic diaphragm 210; A plurality of U-shaped frames are evenly connected to the passive annular frame 209, and an anti-overflow absorption member for cooperating with the side of the U-shaped frame is provided; A return spring 212 is connected to the U-shaped frame; A plurality of flow holes are evenly opened on the material blocking baffle 213, and the inner diameter size of the flow holes is smaller than the outer diameter size of the water-swellable particles 214; A flexible waterproof coating layer 206 with a waterproof function is adhered to the surface of the material blocking baffle 213 at the position corresponding to the flow holes;

[0025] Before the encapsulation cover plate 201 in the cover structure is connected inside the encapsulation containing groove 102, first tear off the flexible waterproof coating layer 206 adhered to the surface of the material blocking baffle 213. Then, when the encapsulation cover plate 201 is connected inside the encapsulation containing groove 102, after the sealing component in the cover assembly seals the gap between the encapsulation cover plate 201 and the encapsulation containing groove 102, the bottom end of the annular water blocking seat 202 in the remedial strong plugging component inserted into the annular blocking groove 103 is in contact with the bottom wall of the annular blocking groove 103.

[0026] Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the embodiment of the present application provides a packaging device for an electrochemical energy storage device.

One end of the return spring 212 is connected to the horizontal section 220 in the U-shaped frame, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall of the positioning chamber; One end of the first vertical section 219 far from the horizontal section 220 is connected to the passive annular frame 209, and one end of the first vertical section 219 far from the passive annular frame 209 vertically slides into the positioning chamber through the rectangular execution groove and is connected to the horizontal section 220; One end of the second vertical section 221 away from the horizontal section 220 is connected to the annular carrier 204.

[0027] After the liquid in the annular barrier groove 103 flows into the flow holes on the material blocking baffle 213 in the remedial strong plugging assembly and contacts the water-swellable particles 214 in the sensing driving member, the water-swellable particles 214 absorb water and rapidly expand in volume, and drive the annular sealing gasket 205 in the sealing assembly to move downward through the U-shaped frame, so as to reversely apply a downward pressure to the sealing assembly and reduce the gap between the sealing surface of the sealing assembly and the bottom wall of the encapsulation containment groove 102, forming a first protection barrier, and further preventing the further intrusion of external liquid.

[0028] After the water-swellable particles 214 in the sensing driving member absorb the liquid and reversely apply a downward pressure to the sealing assembly, when the water-swellable particles 214 that absorb water and expand are restricted from driving the passive annular frame 209, the pressure of the water-swellable particles 214 that further expand in volume after absorbing water on the inner wall of the annular elastic diaphragm 210 increases and drives the annular elastic diaphragm 210 to elastically bulge outward, so that the annular elastic diaphragm 210 that undergoes elastic deformation closely adheres to the bottom wall of the annular barrier groove 103, thereby further blocking the liquid intrusion channel, and on the basis of the first protection barrier, forming a second protection barrier, effectively separating the liquid from the liquid injection hole on the battery body 101, and improving the encapsulation and sealing effect between the battery body 101 and the cover structure.

[0030] When the sensing driving member located inside the annular blocking groove 103 drives the U-shaped frame to move downward in contact with the liquid, the U-shaped frame drives the passive convex part 217 in the anti-overflow absorption member to move horizontally through the wedge-shaped part 215 thereon. During this process, the puncturing film needle 218 that moves synchronously with the passive convex part 217 punctures the blocking film 208. The moving synchronous push plate 216 then continuously pushes the water-swellable particles 214 in the sensing driving member into the space enclosed by the inner ring wall of the annular water-blocking seat 202 and the annular blocking groove 103. After the second protective barrier is formed by the water-swellable particles 214 falling into the annular blocking groove 103, the remaining liquid in the space enclosed by the inner ring wall of the annular water-blocking seat 202 and the annular blocking groove 103 is absorbed, preventing the liquid from overflowing and flowing into the liquid injection hole on the battery body 101 as the electrochemical energy storage device shakes, and further forming a protective barrier.
