Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, specifically to a grid arrangement structure for a high-rate battery with horizontal and vertical ribs. Background Technology

[0002] The grid is a major component of a lead-acid battery, serving as the current-collecting framework of the electrodes. It conducts and collects current, ensuring a uniform current distribution, and also supports the active materials, acting as their carrier. During charging and discharging, the composition of the active materials changes. Specifically, the volume of the active materials differs before and after the transformation. During discharge, the positive electrode active material PbO2 and the negative electrode active material Pb react with the electrolyte to form PbSO4, increasing its molar volume and causing the plates to expand and deform. During charging, the PbSO4 on the negative electrode is reduced to Pb, and the PbSO4 on the positive electrode is oxidized to PbO2, decreasing its molar volume and causing the plates to shrink. Therefore, the grid's support prevents the active materials from shedding due to expansion and contraction.

[0003] High-rate lead-acid batteries have a higher energy density than ordinary lead-acid batteries, making them more suitable for high-current discharge scenarios. Their discharge current is typically several times that of ordinary lead-acid batteries. Regarding the grid structure, it must not only be compatible with the structural design of high-rate lead-acid batteries, but also, due to greater volume expansion during discharge, place higher demands on grid strength. In existing technology, a typical structure of a conventional grid is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, its structural strength is not high. In particular, after increasing the distance between the electrodes, the stability of the central support is reduced, which leads to deformation and even leakage from time to time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to further improve the structural strength of the plate grid.

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

[0006] A grid arrangement structure for a high-rate battery includes a plate surface, I-beam holes, and short holes; wherein the I-beam holes include longitudinal holes and transverse holes located at the upper and lower ends of the longitudinal holes; a number of I-beam holes and a number of short holes are arranged longitudinally at intervals on the plate surface to form a row of holes, and for each two rows of holes that are adjacent laterally, they are arranged alternately.

[0007] Preferably, the staggered arrangement includes: the short hole in the left column is located to the left of one of the transverse holes of the I-beam hole in the right column, and one of the transverse holes of the I-beam hole in the left column is located between the two transverse holes of the I-beam hole in the right column.

[0008] Preferably, a first transverse rib is formed between the short hole and its left and right transverse holes, a second transverse rib is formed between the longitudinal hole and another longitudinal hole directly opposite it, a third transverse rib is formed between the longitudinal hole and another longitudinal hole arranged alternately on its side, and a longitudinal rib is formed between the two transverse holes located on the same I-beam hole.

[0009] Preferably, the height of the second horizontal rib is equal to the height of the third horizontal rib, and the heights of the short hole, the horizontal hole, and the first horizontal rib are equal.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the I-beam holes and short holes are arranged vertically at intervals, and the holes in each pair of adjacent rows are staggered, thus forming a structure in which the I-beam holes overlap each other diagonally upwards. The resulting horizontal and vertical ribs are arranged in a mesh pattern, which ensures both connectivity and improves structural strength. Compared with conventional gratings of the same area, this utility model only increases the weight by about 10%, but increases the compressive strength by 0.8 to 1.3 times (lead-calcium alloy material, 2 to 4 mm thickness).

[0011] This invention provides a grid arrangement structure for high-rate batteries, featuring horizontal and vertical ribs. The technical solution employs alternating H-shaped holes and short square holes to form longitudinal holes, which are then staggered. This arrangement significantly improves the grid's compressive strength, effectively withstanding the external forces generated by the volume changes of the electrode solid material (lead paste) during charge-discharge cycles. It is suitable for the large cross-sectional area design of high-rate batteries. Furthermore, this invention does not significantly increase weight, demonstrating outstanding technical advantages.
