Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage device technology, and in particular to an electrochemical energy storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical energy storage refers to the cyclical process of storing and releasing electrical energy. It can be divided into electrochemical energy storage and mechanical energy storage, which are cyclical processes for releasing energy when needed. Electrochemical energy storage refers to the use of chemical elements as energy storage media. The charging and discharging process is accompanied by the chemical reaction or valence change of the energy storage media. It mainly includes lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, etc.

[0003] During the process of electrical energy storage, operators often use corresponding electrochemical energy storage devices to perform energy storage operations. However, while existing electrochemical energy storage devices have basic energy storage functions, their plugs are usually directly exposed to the outside when idle. This allows dust and moisture to enter the plug, increasing the possibility of plug damage and reducing its service life. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, this utility model provides an electrochemical energy storage device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an electrochemical energy storage device, comprising: a housing, a fixing plate fixedly installed on the top of the housing, a rectangular groove formed on the left side of the front of the fixing plate, a connecting plate fixedly installed on the front of the fixing plate, a movable rod movably sleeved inside the connecting plate, the bottom end of the movable rod penetrating the connecting plate and extending below the connecting plate and fixedly connected to a connecting block, inclined rods hinged on both sides of the connecting block, a protective plate hinged to the other end of the inclined rods, the outer surface of the protective plate movably connected to the interior of the rectangular groove, and the back of the protective plate movably connected to the front of the fixing plate.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a spring is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the movable rod, the top end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, and the bottom end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the movable rod.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell, and a first conductive plate is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate. A battery is movably connected between the first conductive plates, the bottom of the battery is movably connected to the top of the base plate, and a second conductive plate is movably connected to the top of the first conductive plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a plug is fixedly installed on the top of the second conductive plate, and the outer surface of the plug is movably connected to the inner surface of the protective plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a double threaded rod is movably sleeved on the bottom right side of the outer shell, and the other end of the double threaded rod penetrates the outer shell and extends into the inner cavity of the outer shell, and moving blocks are threadedly sleeved on both sides of the outer surface.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting rod located below the double threaded rod is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the outer shell, and the outer surface of the limiting rod is in movable engagement with the inner cavity of the moving block.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a connecting rod is hinged to the outer surface of the moving block, and a vertical plate is hinged to the other end of the connecting rod. The outer surface of the vertical plate is movably connected to the interior of the base plate.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a clamping plate is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical plate, and the outer surface of the clamping plate is movably connected to the bottom of the base plate and the outer surface of the battery, respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: An electrochemical energy storage device of this utility model, by setting a movable rod, a connecting block, inclined rods, protective plates, and a rectangular groove, causes the connecting block to move vertically downwards under the limiting action of the connecting plate when the movable rod is pressed. This causes the two inclined rods to move, resulting in the two protective plates moving horizontally in opposite directions under the limiting action of the rectangular groove. This releases the protective function on the plug, making it easier for the operator to insert the connector. When the device is idle, unplugging the connector causes the two protective plates to move horizontally towards each other due to the spring force, ultimately restoring the protective function on the plug, thereby achieving the goal of improving the plug's service life.

[0014] By incorporating a double-threaded rod, moving blocks, vertical plates, clamping plates, and connecting rods, rotating the double-threaded rod causes the two moving blocks to move horizontally in opposite directions under the limiting action of the limiting rods. This, in turn, causes the two connecting rods to move. Under the limiting action of the base plate, the two vertical plates drive the two clamping plates to move horizontally towards each other, ultimately securing the battery. This facilitates battery installation and removal, improves the efficiency of battery installation and removal for operators, and reduces their workload. Attached Figure Description

[0025] When the movable rod 4 is pressed, the connecting block 5 will move vertically downward under the limiting action of the connecting plate 3, and the two inclined rods 6 will move, thereby causing the two protective plates 7 to move horizontally in opposite directions under the limiting action of the rectangular groove 8.

[0027] Due to the design of spring 9, the movable rod 4 has a good reset effect in subsequent movements.

[0028] Preferably, a base plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and a first conductive plate 12 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate 10. A battery 11 is movably connected between the first conductive plates 12, and the bottom of the battery 11 is movably connected to the top of the base plate 10. A second conductive plate 13 is movably connected to the top of the first conductive plate 12.

[0029] After the operator completes the installation of the fixing plate 2, the second conductive plate 13 will come into contact with the first conductive plate 12, at which point the battery 11 can supply power normally.

[0030] Preferably, a plug 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the second conductive plate 13, and the outer surface of the plug 14 is movably connected to the inner surface of the protective plate 7.

[0031] When the two protective plates 7 move toward each other, they will eventually seal the plug 14.

[0032] Preferably, a double-threaded rod 15 is movably sleeved on the bottom right side of the outer casing 1. The other end of the double-threaded rod 15 passes through the outer casing 1 and extends into the inner cavity of the outer casing 1, and moving blocks 16 are threadedly sleeved on both sides of the outer surface.

[0033] Rotating the double threaded rod 15 will cause the two moving blocks 16 to move towards or away from each other.

[0034] Preferably, a limiting rod 17 located below the double threaded rod 15 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the outer shell 1, and the outer surface of the limiting rod 17 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the moving block 16.

[0039] When the two vertical plates 18 move toward each other, they will cause the two clamping plates 19 to move horizontally toward each other, ultimately fixing the battery 11.

[0040] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0041] First, when installing battery 11, place battery 11 on top of base plate 10, then rotate double threaded rod 15. This will cause two moving blocks 16 to move horizontally in opposite directions under the limiting action of limiting rod 17, and cause two connecting rods 20 to move. At this time, under the limiting action of base plate 10, two vertical plates 18 will drive two clamping plates 19 to move horizontally towards each other, ultimately achieving the fixing effect of battery 11. This achieves the purpose of facilitating the installation and removal of battery 11, improving the efficiency of the operator in installing and removing battery 11, and reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0042] When the device needs to insert a connector, pressing the movable rod 4 will cause the connecting block 5 to move vertically downward under the limiting action of the connecting plate 3, and cause the two inclined rods 6 to move. This will cause the two protective plates 7 to move horizontally in opposite directions under the limiting action of the rectangular groove 8, thus releasing the protective effect on the plug 14 and making it easier for the operator to insert the connector. When the device is idle, the connector can be unplugged. At this time, due to the elastic force of the spring 9, the movable rod 4 will move vertically upward, and the two protective plates 7 will move horizontally in opposite directions, ultimately restoring the protective effect on the plug 14, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the service life of the plug 14.

[0043] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: By setting the movable rod 4, connecting block 5, inclined rod 6, protective plate 7 and rectangular groove 8, when the movable rod 4 is pressed, the connecting block 5 will move vertically downward under the limiting action of the connecting plate 3, and the two inclined rods 6 will move, thereby causing the two protective plates 7 to move horizontally in opposite directions under the limiting action of the rectangular groove 8. At this time, the protective effect on the plug 14 will be released, making it easier for the operator to insert the connector 14. When the device is idle, the connector 14 can be unplugged. At this time, due to the elastic force of the spring 9, the two protective plates 7 will move horizontally in opposite directions, and finally restore the protective effect on the plug 14, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the service life of the plug 14.

[0044] By setting up a double threaded rod 15, moving blocks 16, vertical plates, clamping plates 19, and connecting rods 20, when the double threaded rod 15 is rotated, the two moving blocks 16 will move horizontally in opposite directions under the limiting action of the limiting rod 17, and the two connecting rods 20 will move. At this time, under the limiting action of the base plate 10, the two vertical plates 18 will drive the two clamping plates 19 to move horizontally towards each other, ultimately achieving the function of fixing the battery, thus achieving the purpose of facilitating battery installation and removal, improving the efficiency of battery installation and removal for operators, and reducing the labor intensity of operators.
