A liquid through hole is axially drilled through the liquid flow frame in the thickness direction. A plurality of liquid through ports are radially drilled in the inner wall of the liquid through hole. A plate hole is drilled in the bipolar plate corresponding to the position of the liquid through hole. The insulating sleeve is sleeved on the inner wall of the liquid through hole. The insulating sleeve is respectively provided with liquid through small holes corresponding to each liquid through port. The annular sealing gasket is clamped between the liquid through hole and the plate hole.

[0004] Among them, the liquid inlet and outlet operation of the vanadium redox flow battery is carried out by using the liquid through hole, the liquid through port and the liquid through small hole.
