Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to electrochemistry energy storage technical field, concretely relates to a kind of electrode lead-out structure of direct connection inner volume sealing. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid generation and development of new technologies in the field of information technology, electronic products and new energy vehicles, the research and development of energy storage capacitors have been increasingly concerned. Energy storage capacitor is a new type of energy storage device between traditional capacitor and rechargeable battery, which has both large current fast charge and discharge characteristics of capacitor and energy storage characteristics of battery. Its capacity can reach several thousand farad. Compared with traditional capacitors, energy storage capacitors have higher capacity. Compared with batteries, they have the advantages of fast charging speed, high energy density, wide operating temperature range and long cycle life, and are pollution-free to the environment. They are especially suitable for high-frequency, high-power and high-energy charge and discharge application fields, so they have wide market demand in national strategic emerging industries such as rail transit, wind power, public buses, electric vehicles and smart grids.

[0003] The electrode lead-out mechanism of the current energy storage capacitor mainly includes a pole, an adapter disc, a current collector, a cover plate and an insulating sealing element. A Chinese patent document with publication number CN112821015A discloses a copper-aluminum composite pole, a negative cover plate assembly structure and an energy storage unit. The energy storage unit housing is inserted with an electric core. The top end of the electric core is fixedly connected with a negative cover plate assembly through a negative current collector disc. The negative cover plate assembly includes a negative pole assembly, a first cover plate, a first insulating element and a second insulating element. The negative pole assembly includes a pole and a bottom disc. A second center hole is formed in the center of the bottom disc. The pole has a first boss at the bottom. The outer diameter of the first boss is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the second center hole of the bottom disc. The first boss is pressed into the second center hole, and the two are in interference fit, thereby realizing the fixed connection of the pole and the bottom disc. The bottom disc is fixed on the negative current collector disc by welding. The first cover plate is sleeved on the outer periphery of the pole of the negative pole assembly. The first cover plate and the pole are sequentially provided with the first insulating element and the second insulating element from top to bottom for insulation. The corresponding surfaces of the first insulating element and the second insulating element abut against each other. However, in the above-mentioned negative lead-out mechanism, the negative pole and the bottom disc as the adapter disc are connected through interference. The first insulating element and the second insulating element are provided between the negative pole assembly and the first cover plate to play the role of insulation and sealing. The structure is complex, and there are many components, thereby leading to low production and assembly efficiency, complicated energy storage capacitor processing and manufacturing process, and high manufacturing cost. A Chinese patent document with publication number CN210984547U discloses a negative lead-out structure and an energy storage unit. The negative adapter sheet and the cover plate are both provided with a center hole. The negative pole penetrates through the center holes of the negative adapter sheet and the cover plate and is electrically connected with the negative adapter sheet. A sealing ring is arranged between the negative pole and the cover plate for electrical insulation. An insulating plastic block is fixed on the outer periphery of the negative pole. The lower end surface of the insulating plastic block is tightly pressed against the upper end surface of the cover plate. A first step is arranged on the outer periphery surface of the negative adapter sheet. When the negative adapter sheet is welded on the negative current collector, the outer periphery of the first step is inserted into the inner diameter of the flange of the negative current collector. Since the negative current collector, the negative adapter sheet, the cover plate, the negative pole and the insulating plastic block are arranged, the connection between these components and the whole negative lead-out structure also have the problems of complex structure, low manufacturing and assembly efficiency and high cost.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the electrode lead-out mechanism and processing and manufacturing process of the energy storage device, solve the problems of complex structure, inconvenient assembly and connection between the electrode pole, the adapter disc, the current collector, the cover plate and the insulating sealing element, improve the processing and manufacturing efficiency of the energy storage capacitor and reduce the production cost.
