[0002] Battery electrolyte is the medium used in chemical batteries, electrolytic capacitors, etc. It is mainly used in the battery industry as well as in the electrolytic capacitor and supercapacitor industries.

[0003] Battery electrolytes are stored in storage tanks. To ensure the safety and stability of the stored electrolytes, nitrogen gas is typically used for sealing. However, nitrogen can easily leak out during electrolyte injection or extraction, leading to pressure loss inside the tank and affecting the stability of the nitrogen seal. Existing tanks lack components for continuous measurement and monitoring of the internal liquid and gas volumes, requiring constant manual observation during actual use and making it impossible to obtain timely information about the tank's status. Furthermore, the continuous flow of materials makes it impossible to cool the heat generated by friction between the materials and the inner walls of the pipes, affecting the pressure difference between the tank surface and the interior, thus limiting its safety during use.

[0004] Therefore, we provide a battery electrolyte storage tank with multiple sensing functions. Utility Model Content

The pressure relief valve is installed between the discharge pipes of the tank. The non-contact level gauge is installed on the outside of the tank. The glass observation window is used to display the detection result of the non-contact level gauge.

[0008] The pressure relief valve is also connected to a refrigeration component, and several flow conduits are installed through the refrigeration component.

[0009] Preferably, a plurality of the flow conduits are used for guiding the flow of liquid materials and gaseous materials respectively, and the refrigeration component is located at the junction of the flow conduits and the tank.

[0016] 1.

[0017] 2. With the assistance of a refrigeration component, this utility model reuses excess nitrogen gas to cool the internal frictional heat of the pipe, thereby improving the rational use of resources.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0027] Example 1: A battery electrolyte storage tank with multi-sensor functions, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a tank 1 and a sensing assembly for supporting the tank 1.

[0028] The sensing components include an automatic level gauge 2 for high and low liquid level detection, a pressure gauge 3 for gas pressure detection during nitrogen sealing, a pressure relief valve 4 for emergency pressure relief, a non-contact level gauge 14 for non-contact liquid level detection, and a glass observation window 15 for liquid level observation. The automatic level gauge 2 and pressure gauge 3 are both installed on the upper end of the tank body 1, and the lower half of the automatic level gauge 2 and pressure gauge 3 are inserted into the inside of the tank body 1. The pressure relief valve 4 is installed between the discharge pipes of the tank body 1, the non-contact level gauge 14 is installed on the outside of the tank body 1, and the glass observation window 15 is used to display the detection results of the non-contact level gauge 14.

[0029] The pressure relief valve 4 is also connected to a refrigeration component, and several flow pipes 5 are installed through the refrigeration component.

[0030] The combined use of multiple transmission components within the sensing assembly enables the device to detect the high and low liquid levels in the tank during material loading, effectively preventing the removal of gas from the tank due to excessive liquid addition or excessively low liquid levels. It also enables the device to detect the gas pressure during nitrogen sealing, ensuring sufficient nitrogen in the tank. Furthermore, it features an emergency pressure relief function to prevent dangerous situations caused by excessive ammonia pressure during gas addition. The device allows for external observation of high and low liquid levels, facilitating the preparation of liquid addition, procurement, and actual discharge. Finally, with the assistance of the refrigeration assembly, excess nitrogen is reused to cool the internal frictional heat generated in the pipelines, improving the rational use of resources.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, several flow conduits 5 are used for guiding the flow of liquid and gaseous materials, and the refrigeration component is located at the junction of the flow conduit 5 and the tank 1.

[0032] With the guidance and support of multiple flow conduits 5 for material flow, the stability and accuracy of material use or filling are ensured. At the same time, the cooling effect of the refrigeration components ensures the stability of flow conduits 5 during use, effectively preventing friction and heat generation between the internal material and the pipe wall, which could lead to an imbalance of air pressure in the upper and lower parts of the tank 1.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the cooling assembly includes a cooling frame 8 for limiting support, several cooling plates 9 for layered support, and heat dissipation fins 12 for natural cooling support.

[0034] A guide hole 7 is provided through the outer side of the refrigeration frame 8. The pressure relief valve 4 is connected to the guide hole 7 through the refrigeration pipe 6, and several refrigeration plates 9 are evenly distributed on one side of the outlet of the refrigeration pipe 6.

[0035] The cooling plate 9 is installed on the inner wall of the cooling frame 8, and both the cooling frame 8 and the cooling plate 9 are connected to the flow conduit 5.

[0036] Under the guidance and support of the guide hole 7 and the cooling conduit 6, the nitrogen gas discharged under pressure is allowed to flow into the interior of the cooling frame 8. Based on the uniform layered flow of multiple cooling plates 9 and the cooling effect of nitrogen gas itself, the nitrogen gas is evenly filled between two adjacent cooling plates 9, and the nitrogen gas is evenly dissipated to different parts of multiple flow conduits 5, so that the interior of the cooling frame 8 can achieve fixed-point uniform and efficient heat dissipation.

[0037] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the distance between two adjacent refrigeration plates 9 is equal, and several conical transfer blocks 10 are installed on both sides of the refrigeration plates 9, and the end of the conical transfer block 10 away from the refrigeration plate 9 is conical.

[0038] Several heat-conducting blocks 11 are installed on the outer arc-shaped surface of the cooling plate 9. Several heat-conducting blocks 11 located in the same vertical position are simultaneously fixedly connected to a heat dissipation fin 12. Several flow guide holes 13 are provided through the heat dissipation fin 12.

[0039] Supported by the conical surfaces of the two conical transfer blocks 10, and combined with the support surface of the cooling plate 9 itself, the contact area between the plate and nitrogen is increased, improving the cooling effect of the cooling plate 9 and the conical transfer blocks 10, further enhancing the utilization of nitrogen, and simultaneously providing further cooling to the flow duct 5. Furthermore, with the heat conduction of multiple heat-conducting blocks 11 and heat dissipation fins 12, the external airflow flows through the guide holes 13, automatically dissipating the heat transmitted from the inside of the cooling frame 8 to the heat dissipation fins 12, enabling the cooling component to operate normally even without nitrogen, ensuring continuous, stable, and efficient cooling.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
