Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of flow battery packaging technology, specifically to a flow battery stack packaging design method and a flow battery stack. Background Technology
[0002] During the assembly process of flow battery stacks, the final clamping force is a crucial factor affecting their operating efficiency and system stability. If the local clamping force is too high, it may cause excessive deformation or even cracking of the sealing material. If the local clamping force is too low, it will not be able to seal effectively, leading to end plate deformation, altering the electrode compression state, and consequently affecting the uniformity of electrolyte distribution within the electrodes.
[0003] In existing technologies, bolts are used to apply force to the nuts on both sides, resulting in a difference in locking torque between the two sides. Current processes rely heavily on manual tightening or experience-based adjustments, making it difficult to quantify the clamping force. Furthermore, to meet mechanical performance requirements, traditional designs require the use of coarse screws. However, coarse screws increase the end plate area, exacerbating end plate deformation and thus worsening uneven pressure distribution inside the battery.

[0087] S50. The initial magnetic field force is modified according to the preset conditions so that the clamping force on the flow battery stack model meets the packaging requirements.
[0088] Step S50 specifically includes: based on the magnetic field distribution of the magnetic material and the effect of the magnetic permeability of the magnetic material on the initial magnetic field force. After making corrections, the corrected magnetic force is obtained. .
[0089] In the embodiments of this application, it is assumed that the magnetic field distribution of the magnetically conductive material is uniform and the permeability u of the magnetically conductive material is... r Much greater than 1, therefore the initial magnetic force can be corrected. The calculation formula is simplified to facilitate the direct calculation of the magnetic field force of magnetic materials.
[0090] Specifically:
[0091] ;
[0092] That is, the corrected magnetic field force The calculation formula is:
[0093] ;
[0094] Where B is the magnetic induction intensity at the point where the magnetic material is in contact with the magnetic field, H is the magnetic field intensity at the point where the magnetic material is in contact with the magnetic field, and S is the effective projected area of the magnetic material and the magnetic field.
[0095] In the embodiments of this application, the unit of the effective projected area S of the magnetic material and the magnetic field is m. 2 The unit of the magnetic field strength H at the point where a magnetically conductive material interacts with a magnetic field is A / m. The unit of the magnetic field strength B at the point where a magnetically conductive material interacts with a magnetic field is T.
[0096] This application obtains the modified magnetic field force. This helps to accurately and quickly determine the optimal clamping force range of the flow battery stack, thereby improving design efficiency, shortening the design cycle, and reducing computational costs.
[0097] In embodiments of this application, the flow battery stack packaging design method further includes:
[0098] The magnetic flux density B is corrected based on the performance parameters of the two irregularly shaped permanent magnets to obtain the corrected magnetic flux density. .
[0099] In the embodiments of this application, the irregularly shaped permanent magnet is a neodymium iron boron permanent magnet.
[0100] In the embodiments of this application, the effective projected area S in the formula for calculating the magnetic field force of a neodymium iron boron permanent magnet is related to its shape. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the sample of the irregularly shaped NdFeB permanent magnet is a square permanent magnet with side length L on both the upper and lower surfaces, and four bolt holes. Its magnetization direction is axial, meaning it passes through the center point of the square and points vertically upwards. The upper and lower surfaces (two square faces) of the permanent magnet are the N and S poles, respectively. To calculate the magnetic force of the irregularly shaped permanent magnet, the magnetic induction intensity B generated by the permanent magnet at the magnetic conductive material must first be calculated. To calculate the magnetic induction intensity B generated by the permanent magnet at the magnetic conductive material, the leakage flux of the magnetic circuit formed by the permanent magnet and the magnetic conductive material in the actual magnetic circuit must first be obtained. Excessive leakage flux will affect the calculation error of the final magnetic force calculation result. Therefore, it is assumed that the coercivity of the permanent magnet is along its magnetization direction to simplify the magnetic circuit. Based on the above assumption, the magnetic induction intensity at a distance from the center of the square NdFeB permanent magnet surface is calculated. The corrected magnetic induction intensity is then... The calculation formula is:
[0101] ;
[0102] in, Where X is the remanent magnetization intensity, L is the gap between irregularly shaped permanent magnets, H is the side length of the irregularly shaped permanent magnet, and H is the thickness of the irregularly shaped permanent magnet.
[0103] In the embodiments of this application, the square NdFeB sample is 80 mm long, 80 mm wide, and 10 mm high. The sintered NdFeB permanent magnet material is manufactured using powder metallurgy. The smelted NdFeB alloy is made into powder and pressed into a compact in a magnetic field. The compact is then sintered in an inert gas or vacuum to achieve densification. To improve the coercivity of the magnet, tempering heat treatment is usually required. According to the national standard GB / T13560-2017, its performance parameters are: grade N52, N45, N38; maximum energy product 50, 44, 37 MGOe; and remanence Br 1.44, 1.35, 1.23 T. Based on the performance parameters of the square NdFeB irregular permanent magnet, these parameters are substituted into the corrected magnetic induction Br. The calculation formula can be used to calculate the magnetic induction intensity B / at the center of the surface of a square NdFeB irregular permanent magnet with zero gap under this size and parameters. Then, the magnetic induction intensity B / Substituting magnetic force The magnetic force of the square face of the square neodymium iron boron shaped permanent magnet can be obtained from the calculation formula. By fully utilizing the magnetic force of mutual attraction between irregularly shaped permanent magnets, a uniform clamping force can be provided for the battery.
[0104] In embodiments of this application, the flow battery stack model further includes a screw and a nut. The screw passes through two irregularly shaped permanent magnets, and the nut is used to fasten the screw to apply a clamping force to the flow battery stack model. .
[0105] ;
[0106] Where T is the tightening torque of a single nut, and d is the nominal diameter of the screw.
[0107] Calculate the clamping force on the flow battery stack model using the following formula. :
[0108] ;
[0109] in, The clamping force applied by the screw and nut to the flow battery stack model. It represents the magnetic force between two irregularly shaped permanent magnets.
[0110] In the embodiments of this application, the magnetic induction intensity distribution of the two irregularly shaped permanent magnets added to the flow battery stack is simulated using the COMSOL software. Based on the actual magnetic pole distribution of the irregularly shaped permanent magnets, the magnetization direction of the magnets is set to axial magnetization, and the solution is obtained through the "Magnetic Field" physical field under the AC / DC module of the COMSOL software. The external environment is assumed to be: room temperature, T=293.15K, and absolute pressure of 1 atmosphere. The change in magnetic induction intensity distribution between the irregularly shaped permanent magnets with varying distance is simulated using formulas.
[0111] In the embodiments of this application, the simulation software COMSOL is used to simulate the change in magnetic clamping force of irregular permanent magnets as the distance between them changes, according to the formula.
[0112] Finite element simulation includes the following steps:
[0113] (1) Select the problem type. For the magnetic field simulation problem of neodymium iron boron irregular permanent magnet, select the "Magnetic Field" physical field under the AC / DC module.
[0114] (2) Establish a model. For example... Figure 5As shown, two cuboids and a sphere enclosing a rectangle are set by directly inputting coordinates in the COMSOL software. The radius of the sphere is set to be much larger than that of the cuboids, taking into account both the computational load and the magnetic force distribution range. The cuboids and the sphere are models of an irregular permanent magnet and air, respectively.
[0115] (3) Add materials. Add materials for neodymium iron boron shaped permanent magnets and air. Both of these materials can be found in the material library built into the COMSOL software.
[0116] (4) Set boundary conditions. The relative permeability of the magnet is 1.05, the relative permeability of air is 1, and the magnetization intensity is set to be the same and equal in direction.
[0117] (5) Grid generation. Click on grid generation to automatically generate the grid.
[0118] The permanent magnet is modeled as follows: a square permanent magnet with a side length of 80mm and a height of 10mm, surrounded by an argon gas field. For example... Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the magnet material is NdFeB, with magnet strengths of N52, N45, and N38. The relative permeability of the magnet is 1.05, while the relative permeability of air is 1. NdFeB magnets are strong magnets, with remanent magnetic induction of 1.44T, 1.35T, and 1.23T for N52, N45, and N38, respectively. Steady-state solutions for the magnets are obtained using a standardized mesh, and then the magnitude of the magnetic field around the magnet is displayed using 3D and 1D plotting tools in COMSOL software post-processing.
[0119] For permanent magnets, the magnetic field around the magnet is difficult to measure accurately. However, COMSOL software can quantitatively display the surrounding magnetic field. COMSOL's post-processing program includes a 3D plotting group, which displays slices of the magnetic field around the magnet. This shows that the magnetic induction intensity is greatest and the magnetic field is strongest at the two sides of the magnet, gradually decreasing outwards, while the magnetic field distribution is more uniform from the sides inwards. Therefore, it can provide a relatively uniform attractive force from the sides inwards.
[0120] The attractive force between two irregularly shaped permanent magnets can also be quantitatively calculated using COMSOL software. According to simulation results, N52, N45, and N38 can provide forces of 149.24N, 131.17N, and 108.88N respectively at a spacing of 33mm, which can assist in clamping the flow battery to a certain extent. The design of irregularly shaped NdFeB permanent magnets as end plates for the flow battery utilizes the principle of attraction between opposite magnets to provide additional non-contact, uniform clamping force to clamp the battery. This partially replaces the non-uniform bolt clamping force, which helps improve battery sealing performance, reduce the risk of graphite plate crushing, reduce local deformation, and lower battery contact resistance.
[0121] In the embodiments of this application, irregularly shaped neodymium iron boron permanent magnets are used as end plates of flow batteries or disposed near both ends of flow battery stacks. The additional non-contact clamping force provided by the principle of attraction between opposite poles of irregularly shaped permanent magnets is used to clamp the battery. Furthermore, since the magnetic field distribution between the irregularly shaped permanent magnets is uniform, the clamping force provided is also a uniformly distributed clamping force.
[0122] The flow battery stack packaging design method provided in this application provides a non-contact uniform magnetic field force to the component between the two irregular permanent magnets by setting two irregular permanent magnets at both ends of the flow battery stack. This is achieved by applying a uniform clamping force to the flow battery stack, thereby improving the sealing performance and performance stability of the flow battery stack.
[0123] On the other hand, this application provides a flow battery stack, which is packaged using the flow battery stack packaging design method described above.
[0124] Specifically, the flow battery stack includes at least: two plates, a separator disposed between two adjacent plates, positive and negative electrode cells disposed on the side of the two plates away from the separator, and two irregularly shaped permanent magnets disposed on the side of the positive and negative electrode cells away from the separator.
[0125] The flow battery stack provided in this application provides a non-contact, uniform initial magnetic field force by setting two irregularly shaped permanent magnets at both ends of the flow battery stack. Utilizing the principle of attraction between opposite poles of the irregularly shaped permanent magnets, a uniform clamping force is applied to the component between the two irregularly shaped permanent magnets. This applies a uniform clamping force to the flow battery stack. By correcting the initial magnetic field force, the clamping force on the flow battery stack is ensured to meet the encapsulation requirements and be within the optimal clamping force range, thereby improving the sealing performance and performance stability of the flow battery stack.
[0126] The above provides a detailed description of a flow battery stack packaging design method and a flow battery stack as described in the embodiments of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the core idea of this application, and the above description should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this application.
