[0002] Metal battery stacks are generally composed of dozens or hundreds of cells stacked together, and the performance fluctuations of each cell may affect the performance of the entire battery stack. Therefore, it is necessary to set corresponding collection terminals for each cell. These collection terminals need to occupy a certain amount of battery stack space but often only have collection functions, and the functions are relatively simple. In addition, in order to improve consistency when assembling metal battery stacks, limit grooves are set on the edges and limit rods are set in the limit grooves to limit each cell. However, when the battery stack is compressed, friction will be generated between the plate and the limit rod, which can easily cause deformation of the plate. Summary of the invention

[0015] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below through embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Example:
[0017] This embodiment provides a bipolar plate collection structure with a supporting function, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a metal bipolar plate 1, a semicircular limiting groove 7 is provided on the edge of the metal bipolar plate, and a limiting rod 3 is concentrically arranged in the limiting groove 7. The limiting rod is used to limit each metal bipolar plate to ensure the consistency of the stacking of the metal bipolar plates after loading. A plurality of collection terminals 2 are sleeved on the limiting rod, and the collection terminal 2 includes two collection sheets 10 and a connecting sheet 9. The two collection sheets 10 are arranged at the same end of the connecting sheet 9 and a gap matching the metal bipolar plate is left between the collection sheets 10. The two collection sheets are electrically connected to the positive and negative plates of the metal bipolar plate in the form of contact. The collection sheet 10 is provided with a through hole 8 matching the limiting rod, and the connecting sheet 9 is electrically connected to the integrated box.
[0018] At the end of the collection sheet, there is also an anti-slip sheet 11, which overlaps with the end of the collection sheet to form a thickened portion. The thickened portion fills the gap between adjacent metal bipolar plates to provide support for the metal bipolar plates to prevent the metal bipolar plates from being deformed by the friction between the limit rods during stacking. The anti-slip sheet 11 is provided with a convex point 12 on the opposite side, and correspondingly, a convex edge 5 is provided on the metal bipolar plate, and a groove 6 matching the convex point is provided on the convex edge. The convex point and the groove cooperate to prevent the collection terminal from falling off and limiting the depth, and the setting of multiple convex points can achieve the angle limiting of the collection terminal. In addition, in order to avoid short circuit caused by deformation of the collection terminal, an insulating layer is adhered to the outer surface of the collection terminal, and the insulating layer is made of pen material.
[0019] When the bipolar plate collection structure with supporting function in this embodiment is used for the metal bipolar plate stack, each collection terminal is first clamped on each metal bipolar plate, and then the metal bipolar plates with collection terminals are sequentially sleeved on the limit rods, and finally the stack is compressed and tightened. Due to the presence of the collection terminals, the gaps between the metal bipolar plates in the limit groove area are filled with thickened parts, which strengthens the mechanical strength of the area and also makes the area of each metal bipolar plate supported and no longer in a suspended state. Therefore, when the stack is compressed, the deformation of the metal bipolar plate caused by the friction between the limit rod and the metal bipolar plate can be avoided.
[0020] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or replace them in similar ways, but they will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.
