Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lithium battery series connection, in particular to an electricity connection device for lithium battery series connection. Background Technique

[0002] Lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. The fifth-generation product of rechargeable batteries, lithium metal batteries, was born in 1996. Its safety, specific capacity, self-discharge rate, and performance-price ratio are all superior to those of lithium-ion batteries. Due to its own high-tech requirements, only companies in a few countries produce this kind of lithium metal battery. In order to provide a higher voltage output, workers often need to connect lithium batteries in series;

[0003] At present, for the series connection of lithium batteries, wires are generally connected to the electrodes of lithium batteries by soldering or bolts. When the lithium batteries in series need to be replaced, the soldering method requires professional tools to complete the disassembly, and the bolt method requires turning multiple bolts to complete the disassembly, which is relatively troublesome and not convenient for users. Therefore, we propose an electricity connection device for lithium battery series connection. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an electricity connection device for lithium battery series connection.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: An electricity connection device for lithium battery series connection, including a first lithium battery and a second lithium battery. Two electrodes are provided on the top of both the first lithium battery and the second lithium battery. The two electrodes are respectively a positive electrode and a negative electrode. Fixing blocks are fixedly connected above the electrodes on the tops of the first lithium battery and the second lithium battery. A groove is opened on the top of the fixing block. A limiting block is inserted into the inner cavity of the groove. A notch is opened on the top of the limiting block. A wire is inserted into the notch. A connecting head is fixedly connected to the bottom of the wire. The connecting head is sleeved on the electrode. A sliding groove is opened on the side of the fixing block. A limiting mechanism capable of limiting the limiting block is provided in the inner cavity of the sliding groove.

[0006] As a further solution of the utility model: The limiting mechanism includes a clamping rod, a limiting plate, and a spring. The clamping rod is slidably inserted into the sliding groove. The limiting plate is fixedly sleeved on the clamping rod. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixing block.

[0007] As a further solution of the utility model: A through hole is opened on the side of the limiting block, and the clamping rod can be inserted into the through hole.

[0008] As a further solution of the present utility model: the number of springs in each group of the limiting mechanisms is two, and the two springs are respectively fixedly connected to the front side and the rear side of the same side of the limiting plate.

[0009] As a further solution of the present utility model: both ends of the wire are fixedly connected with connecting heads, and the two connecting heads are respectively connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode on the top of the first lithium battery and the second lithium battery.

[0010] As a further solution of the present utility model: the connecting head is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting block, the number of the connecting heads is two, and wires are fixedly connected to the tops of the two connecting heads.

[0011] Adopting the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] In the present utility model, by pulling the latch rod laterally, the latch rod will drive the limiting plate to slide. When the limiting plate slides, it will squeeze the spring, and then insert the limiting block into the groove on the top of the fixed block. The limiting block will drive the connecting head to be sleeved on the positive electrode of the top electrode of the first lithium battery, and then sleeve the other connecting head of the same wire on the negative electrode of the top electrode of the second lithium battery. Then release the pulling of the latch rod, and the spring will drive the limiting plate to rebound. The limiting plate will drive the latch rod to slide in the reverse direction, so that the latch rod is inserted into the through hole, and further the latch rod limits and fixes the limiting block, realizing the series connection of the first lithium battery and the second lithium battery. When it is necessary to cancel the series connection of the first lithium battery and the second lithium battery, pull the latch rod to the outside of the chute, and the latch rod will slide out of the through hole, so that the latch rod cancels the limiting effect on the limiting block. Then the limiting block can be slid out of the groove, and the series connection of the first lithium battery and the second lithium battery can be cancelled, realizing the effect of being able to conveniently connect and separate the connecting head and the electrode, thus facilitating the use of the staff and improving the work efficiency of the staff.

Two electrodes 12 are provided on the top of both the first lithium battery 1 and the second lithium battery 2. The two electrodes 12 are respectively the positive electrode and the negative electrode. Fixing blocks 3 are fixedly connected above the electrodes 12 on the top of the first lithium battery 1 and the second lithium battery 2. A groove 5 is opened at the top of the fixing block 3. A limiting block 6 is inserted into the inner cavity of the groove 5. A notch is opened at the top of the limiting block 6. A wire 4 is inserted into the notch. The bottom of the wire 4 is fixedly connected with a connecting head 13. The connecting head 13 is sleeved on the electrode 12. A sliding groove 8 is opened on the side of the fixing block 3. A limiting mechanism for limiting the limiting block 6 is provided in the inner cavity of the sliding groove 8.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present utility model: The limiting mechanism includes a clamping rod 9, a limiting plate 10 and a spring 11. The clamping rod 9 is slidably inserted into the sliding groove 8. The limiting plate 10 is fixedly sleeved on the clamping rod 9. One end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 10, and the other end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the other side of the fixing block 3. The limiting mechanism can limit and cancel the limit of the limiting block 6.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present utility model: A through hole 7 is opened on the side of the limiting block 6, and the clamping rod 9 can be inserted into the through hole 7.

[0024] In an embodiment of the present utility model: The number of springs 11 in each group of limiting mechanisms is two. The two springs 11 are respectively fixedly connected to the front side and the rear side of the same side of the limiting plate 10. The two springs 11 can make the limiting plate 10 more stable when sliding.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present utility model: Both ends of the wire 4 are fixedly connected with connection heads 13, and the two connection heads 13 are respectively connected to the positive electrode and the negative electrode on the top of the first lithium battery 1 and the second lithium battery 2.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present utility model: The connection head 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limit block 6. The number of connection heads 13 is two. Both tops of the two connection heads 13 are fixedly connected with the wire 4. This can facilitate the series connection of the first lithium battery 1 and the second lithium battery 2, and one of the two connection heads 13 can be used for series connection, and the other connection head 13 can be connected to the adapter.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] When it is necessary to connect the first lithium battery 1 and the second lithium battery 2 in series, first pull the latch 9 to the side. The latch 9 will drive the limit plate 10 to slide. When the limit plate 10 slides, it will squeeze the spring 11. Then insert the limit block 6 into the groove 5 on the top of the fixed block 3. The limit block 6 will drive the connection head 13 to be sleeved on the positive electrode of the top electrode 12 of the first lithium battery 1. Then sleeve the other connection head 13 of the same wire 4 on the negative electrode of the top electrode 12 of the second lithium battery 2. Then release the latch 9 that is pulled. The spring 11 will drive the limit plate 10 to rebound. The limit plate 10 will drive the latch 9 to slide in the reverse direction, so that the latch 9 is inserted into the through hole 7, and further the latch 9 limits and fixes the limit block 6, realizing the series connection of the first lithium battery 1 and the second lithium battery 2. When it is necessary to cancel the series connection of the first lithium battery 1 and the second lithium battery 2, pull the latch 9 to the outside of the chute 8. The latch 9 will slide out of the through hole 7, so that the latch 9 cancels the limiting effect on the limit block 6. Then the limit block 6 can be slid out of the groove 5, and the series connection of the first lithium battery 1 and the second lithium battery 2 can be cancelled. Thus, the entire working process ends.
