Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, specifically to an AGM composite separator for high-power batteries. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of battery separators is to prevent direct contact between the positive and negative plates, which could cause an internal short circuit. Damaged or aged separators can lead to direct contact between the positive and negative plates, causing a short circuit. This accelerates the sulfation process, resulting in decreased battery capacity, lower terminal voltage, reduced electrolyte density, and increased internal resistance. Sulfation also accelerates moisture loss, creating a vicious cycle that further impacts battery performance.

[0003] Battery separators play a more critical role in high-power batteries, as their performance and quality directly affect battery capacity, charge-discharge cycle life, and self-discharge performance. Currently, the porosity of conventional separators (including materials such as rubber, PP, PE, PVC, and AGM) is difficult to further increase, directly limiting battery capacity when these separators are used in high-power lead-acid batteries. Furthermore, the mechanical strength of conventional AGM separators needs improvement. Because high-power batteries experience rapid volume changes of their contents during charging and discharging, resulting in significant stress, this is detrimental to extending their service life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to design an AGM composite separator with higher porosity and more reliable mechanical strength.

[0005] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An AGM composite separator for high-power batteries includes a first planar layer, a first rib, a zigzag layer, a second rib, and a second planar layer. The zigzag layer is located between the first planar layer and the second planar layer. Several parallel first ribs are arranged between the zigzag layer and the first planar layer, and several parallel second ribs are arranged between the zigzag layer and the second planar layer.

[0007] Preferably, a plurality of first connecting bars are connected between adjacent first reinforcing bars, and a plurality of second connecting bars are connected between adjacent second reinforcing bars.

[0008] Preferably, the first connecting bar is perpendicular to the first reinforcing bar, and the second connecting bar is perpendicular to the second reinforcing bar.

[0009] Preferably, the first reinforcing bar and the second reinforcing bar are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] Preferably, both the outer surface of the first planar layer and the outer surface of the second planar layer have several pits.

[0011] Preferably, there is a loose glass fiber filler between the zigzag surface layer and the first planar layer, and between the zigzag surface layer and the second planar layer.

[0012] Preferably, the first reinforcing bar is replaced by a zigzag protrusion on the inner side of the first planar layer, or the second reinforcing bar is replaced by a zigzag protrusion on the inner side of the second planar layer.

[0013] Preferably, the first planar layer, the first reinforcing material, the zigzag surface layer, the second reinforcing material, and the second planar layer are all made of glass fiber, and the diameter of the glass fiber is 0.4~3μm.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the first planar layer and the second planar layer are the outer surfaces of the partition, and their materials are the same as those of conventional AGM partitions. The zigzag surface layer, the first stiffener, and the second stiffener are all made of ultra-fine glass fiber. The zigzag surface layer is located inside the composite partition, which not only serves as a skeletal support but also facilitates the formation of pores. The stiffeners located on both sides of the zigzag surface layer help to strengthen the toughness of the partition and provide support between the zigzag surface layer and the two planar layers, further increasing the porosity.

[0015] This invention provides an AGM composite separator for high-power batteries. The technical solution uses a zigzag surface layer as an internal support and adds reinforcing ribs to the inner side of the separator's outer surface, which not only improves mechanical strength but also increases porosity to a certain extent. This invention meets the performance requirements of high-power batteries for separators. Attached Figure Description
