Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage batteries, and more specifically, it relates to a 1E-class storage battery saddle. Background Technology
[0002] The safety levels are determined based on whether the structures, systems, and components of a nuclear power plant perform safety functions and their importance. Items performing safety functions belong to the nuclear safety level, while those not performing safety functions belong to the non-nuclear safety level. For mechanical equipment, there are four safety levels, with Level 1 being the most important, followed by Levels 2, 3, and 4 in descending order. For electrical and instrumentation equipment, the safety level is called 1E.
[0003] A battery saddle is a device specifically designed for mounting and securing batteries. This saddle ensures battery stability and effectively protects the battery from external impacts and vibrations, thus extending its lifespan. Furthermore, it provides excellent ventilation, aiding in heat dissipation and further ensuring the battery's safety and reliability.
[0004] Most existing lead-acid batteries use perforated plastic sheets. During the production process, the production of perforated plastic sheets requires mold making. Lead-acid batteries adopt a serialized design with many battery models, and each model requires mold making, which is not economical. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing lead-acid batteries, which require molds for different models and are not economical. It provides a 1E-class battery saddle that only requires one mold to meet the needs of various models.
[0006] Another objective of this invention is to provide a novel saddle design that replaces the existing perforated plastic plate, thereby reducing saddle warping, improving battery stability and impact resistance, and meeting the needs of nuclear power plants.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A 1E-class battery saddle includes several first ribs and several second ribs. The first ribs are arranged along a first direction, and the second ribs are arranged along a second direction. The first ribs and the second ribs are staggered. The first direction and the second direction are perpendicular. The first ribs and the second ribs are integrally formed. The first ribs have several pre-cuts in the length direction. On a plane perpendicular to the second direction, the projections of the corresponding pre-cuts on each first rib coincide.
[0009] This application uses an alternating first and second rib to form the saddle of the battery.
[0010] By setting a pre-cut section, batteries of different specifications can be manually broken at the pre-cut section to obtain the corresponding length. Only one mold is needed to support batteries of different specifications in a series design.
[0011] In addition, the interlacing of the first and second ribs makes it less prone to deformation and warping during injection molding, thereby improving the battery's stability and impact resistance, meeting the needs of nuclear power plants.
[0012] Preferably, the second rib has a marking indicating the length of the first rib at the pre-break point. The length of the first rib can be determined based on this marking, and the break point can be determined by the marking on the second rib. The saddle of the desired model can then be broken open at the corresponding location.
[0013] Preferably, the pre-fracture is V-shaped with a rounded bottom. The V-shaped pre-fracture reduces the force required to break the mold, and the rounded bottom design increases the lifespan of the mold.
[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the second rib is flush with the first rib, and the height of the second rib is lower than that of the first rib. The saddle contacts the battery compartment through the bottom surfaces of the first and second ribs, which reduces material usage and increases the surface flatness of the saddle by contacting the battery cluster only through the first rib.
[0015] Preferably, a through hole is provided at the intersection of the first and second ribs. The first and second ribs are thicker at the intersection; by providing a through hole at this location, the wall thickness can be reduced, thus reducing the occurrence of warping.
[0016] Preferably, the cross-section of the first rib is inverted U-shaped.
[0017] Preferably, the first and second ribs are narrower at the top and thicker at the bottom, and have draft angles. These features are adapted to injection molding processes.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] (1) The pre-cut and corresponding markings allow the required saddle model to be broken open at the corresponding position, thus adapting to the needs of multiple specifications of batteries with one mold and reducing mold opening costs;
[0020] (2) The battery saddle has a low degree of warping by alternating the first and second ribs, which improves the stability and impact resistance of the battery and meets the needs of nuclear power plants. Attached Figure Description

They are merely relational terms determined for the convenience of describing the structural relationship of the various components or elements in this disclosure, and do not specifically refer to any component or element in this disclosure, nor should they be construed as limiting this disclosure.
[0030] In this disclosure, terms such as "fixed connection," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly, indicating a fixed connection, an integral connection, or a detachable connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0031] Example:
[0032] A 1E-class battery saddle, reference Figure 1 As shown, it includes a first rib 1 and a second rib 2, which are arranged alternately. The first rib 1 is arranged along a first direction 3, and the second rib 2 is arranged along a second direction 4. The first direction 3 and the second direction 4 are perpendicular.
[0033] The first rib 1 and the second rib 2 are of an integral structure. Specifically, the first rib 1 and the second rib 2 are integrally formed by an injection mold.
[0034] Refer Figure 2 As shown, a number of pre - break points 5 are provided on the first rib 1 in the length direction. In a plane perpendicular to the second direction 4, the projections of the corresponding pre - break points 5 on each first rib 1 coincide, and the projection shape is V - shaped. A fillet 7 is provided at the bottom of the pre - break point 5. Through the V - shaped pre - break point 5, the force required for breaking is reduced. The design of the fillet 7 at the bottom of the pre - break point 5 increases the life of the mold. Due to the V - shaped design of the pre - break point 5, it is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, making it easier to break.
[0035] For each preset break point, marks indicating the length of the first rib are marked on the second rib. By checking these marks, we can accurately know the length of the first rib, and then use the markings 6 on the second rib to determine where to break. In this way, when a saddle of a specific model is required subsequently, the breaking operation can be carried out at the correct position to ensure the accuracy of the size. This method not only improves work efficiency but also reduces material waste, making the entire production process more efficient and precise.
[0036] A through - hole 8 is provided at the intersection of the first rib 1 and the second rib 2. This design increases the thickness at the intersection of the two ribs. At the same time, by opening the through - hole 8 here, not only can the wall thickness be effectively reduced, but also the probability of warping caused by uneven material distribution can be significantly reduced.
[0037] Refer Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the second rib 2 is aligned with the first rib 1, but its height is lower than that of the first rib 1. The saddle contacts the bottom of the battery cluster through the bottom surfaces of the first rib 1 and the second rib 2, and contacts the bottom of the battery cluster through the top of the first rib 1. This can reduce material usage and improve the flatness of the saddle surface. The cross - section of the first rib 1 is inverted U - shaped. Then, the saddle and the battery slot of the battery are bonded and fixed with glue. Since the saddle is produced by injection molding, the first rib 1 and the second rib 2 are narrow at the top and wide at the bottom and have a draft angle, and these features are adapted to the injection molding process.
[0038] This application forms the saddle of the battery by the way that the first rib 1 and the second rib 2 are staggered.
[0039] By setting the pre - break point 5, for storage batteries of different specifications required, it can be manually broken at the pre - break point 5 to obtain the corresponding length, and only one set of molds is needed to support storage batteries of different specifications with a serialized design.
[0040] In addition, the interlacing of the first rib 1 and the second rib 2 makes it less prone to deformation and warping during injection molding, thereby improving the stability and impact resistance of the battery and meeting the needs of nuclear power plants.
[0041] The embodiments described above are merely preferred solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. Other variations and modifications are possible without departing from the technical solutions described in the claims.
