Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of storage technology, and in particular to a special container device for liquid flow batteries. Background Art

[0002] With the invention of flow batteries, the efficiency of battery systems has been improved, but it also faces challenges in terms of usage environment, transportation, and management. Traditional battery warehouses cannot meet the needs of flow batteries, and a new type of container is urgently needed to meet the requirements of flow batteries in these aspects. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention discloses a dedicated container device for flow batteries, comprising a housing comprising an outer frame having a rectangular parallelepiped structure constructed from a plurality of rods. Within the outer frame, a plurality of layers of inner frames constructed from rods are disposed, or a tank support is placed, or an inner frame is provided with a tank support placed within the inner frame. During use, a tank storing electrolyte can be placed directly on the inner frame, or placed on the tank support and then introduced into the inner frame, or the electrolyte tank can be placed on the tank support, and then the tank support can be placed on the inner frame. One of the above methods can be selected based on actual usage needs and protection level.

[0004] The tank support includes a semicircular support member, the sidewalls of which are vertically fixedly connected to support legs. This semicircular support member supports the electrolyte tank. The support frame is provided to prevent the tank support member from rolling.

[0005] Preferably, a plurality of suspension shafts are fixedly connected to the longer horizontal outer rods of the outer frame, and sleeves are rotatably sleeved on the upper ends of the suspension shafts. The provision of suspension shafts facilitates the transport of containers, while the slings are wrapped around the sleeves. The rotatable sleeves prevent friction between the slings and suspension shafts when the force direction of the slings changes, which could cause accidents.

[0006] Preferably, the side walls of the outer frame are fixedly connected to side panels, one of which is provided with a door. The side panels seal the container, and the door facilitates personnel to enter the interior for maintenance and repair.

[0007] Preferably, two semicircular supports are provided and arranged in an embracing manner, and radial reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the side walls of the semicircular supports. That is, the two semicircular supports clamp and fix the electrolyte storage tank, and the use of radial reinforcing ribs can improve the structural strength of the storage tank support.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of arc-shaped fixing plates are provided on the other side of the semicircular support, and axial reinforcing ribs are fixedly connected to the arc-shaped fixing plates and the sidewalls of the semicircular support. Similarly, a plurality of arc-shaped fixing rings are provided to cooperate with the semicircular support to clamp the electrolyte storage tank, and the axial reinforcing ribs are also used to enhance the structural strength of the tank support.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0010] 1. The electrolyte storage tank can be placed on the inner frame or the tank bracket, and then placed inside the inner frame, or the electrolyte storage tank can be placed on the tank bracket in advance, and then the tank bracket is installed on the inner frame. This method greatly improves the safety of electrolyte storage. At the same time, the above-mentioned appropriate storage method can be selected according to the use situation.

[0011] 2. When using containers, it is convenient for the safe and fast transfer of electrolyte, and it is also more convenient for maintenance and repair during subsequent use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
