Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery protection technology, and in particular to a lithium battery designed to prevent electrolyte leakage. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of microelectronics technology and the increasing number of devices, high demands are being placed on power supplies. Lithium batteries are widely used due to their superior energy storage and charging performance. Their internal structure mainly consists of a positive electrode film, a diaphragm, and a negative electrode film bonded together, forming the inner core film. This inner core film is rolled or folded into a layered structure and located inside the battery casing.

[0003] In existing technologies, lithium batteries are considered high-energy batteries. They have the advantage of high energy storage density, which is about 6-7 times that of lead-acid batteries. They also have a long service life, which can reach more than 6 years. They have a very low self-discharge rate and are lightweight, making them convenient to use. However, some lithium batteries use a fully sealed outer protective shell for better overall sealing. This can prevent high-pressure gas from escaping, which can eventually lead to an explosion and affect the lifespan of the lithium battery. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a lithium battery that prevents electrolyte leakage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: It includes a lithium battery casing, with a positive terminal interface and a negative terminal interface at the front end of the lithium battery casing. A pressure relief block is also provided at the front end of the lithium battery casing. The pressure relief block includes a fixed disc, with a fixing pin fixed to its surface. The fixed disc is fixedly connected to the lithium battery casing via the fixing pin. A connecting pipe is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed disc, and a slot is formed in the inner wall of the connecting pipe. A connecting groove is connected to the upper end of the slot. A movable air plug is slidably connected inside the connecting groove. A high-pressure spring is fixed to the upper end of the movable air plug, and the other end of the high-pressure spring is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting groove. A pressure relief hole is connected to the upper end of the connecting groove. In the prior art, lithium batteries are a type of high-energy battery. It boasts a high energy storage density, several times that of lead-acid batteries, a long service life exceeding 100 years, a very low self-discharge rate, and a lightweight design, making it convenient to use. However, some existing lithium batteries employ a fully sealed outer protective casing for optimal sealing, preventing the release of high-pressure gas and potentially leading to explosions over time, thus affecting the battery's lifespan. By adding a pressure relief block inside the lithium battery, when the internal pressure exceeds the rated pressure, the high pressure pushes the movable air plug forward along the pressure relief device's groove. The pressurized gas is then released through the connecting hole and pressure relief hole. When the pressure returns to normal, the high-pressure spring pushes the movable air plug back to its original position, thereby preventing the lithium battery from exploding due to high pressure and causing personal injury.

[0006] Preferably, the upper surface of the lithium battery casing has a square groove, and a fixing plate is detachably connected to the inside of the square groove by bolts. The front end of the lithium battery casing has a hole, and a fixing ring is fixed to the inner wall of the hole. The lithium battery casing is detachably connected to a positive terminal interface through the fixing plate, and a negative terminal interface is detachably installed on the lithium battery casing through the fixing plate. In the prior art, when the lithium battery is subjected to significant vibration, the terminal post is prone to vertical movement relative to the inner plug of the seal, which can create gaps between the terminal post and the inner plug of the seal, leading to electrolyte leakage and potential fire. This utility model uses a fixing ring and a fixing plate to fix the lithium battery terminal post, and utilizes the high roughness of the fixing plate itself and the pressure adjustment of the fixing plate to prevent electrolyte leakage when the lithium battery is subjected to significant vibration.

[0007] Preferably, the lithium battery casing has heat dissipation holes on both sides to increase the heat dissipation of the lithium battery, thereby reducing the risk of fire caused by high battery temperature.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the fixing ring is provided with an anti-slip rubber sleeve, which, through its high adaptability, further improves the electrolyte sealing performance.

[0009] Preferably, the lithium battery casing material is a durable and impact-resistant material, which prevents damage caused by impacts during lithium battery operation.

[0010] Preferably, the inner diameter of the fixing ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the positive terminal interface, and the inner diameter of the fixing ring is smaller than the outer diameter of the negative terminal interface. By making the diameter of the fixing ring smaller than the diameter of the interface, the interface is more stable during installation.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the connecting groove is larger than the diameter of the hole groove. By making the diameter of the connecting groove larger than that of the hole groove, the movement of the movable air plug becomes smoother.

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] 1. In existing technologies, lithium batteries are characterized by high energy density, approximately 6-7 times that of lead-acid batteries, long service life (up to 6 years or more), low self-discharge rate, and lightweight design, making them convenient to use. However, some lithium batteries employ a fully sealed outer casing for better overall sealing, which prevents high-pressure gas from escaping and can eventually lead to explosion, affecting the battery's lifespan. By adding a pressure relief block inside the lithium battery, when the internal pressure exceeds the rated pressure, the high pressure pushes the movable gas plug forward along the pressure relief device's groove. The pressurized gas is then discharged through the connecting hole and pressure relief hole. When the pressure returns to normal, the high-pressure spring pushes the movable gas plug back to its original position, thus preventing the lithium battery from exploding due to high pressure and causing personal injury.

[0014] 2. In the prior art, when lithium batteries are subjected to significant vibration, the terminals are prone to vertical movement relative to the inner seal, which can create gaps between the terminals and the inner seal, leading to electrolyte leakage and potentially causing a fire. This invention uses a fixing ring and a fixing plate to fix the lithium battery terminals. By utilizing the high roughness of the fixing plate and the pressure adjustment of the fixing plate, the leakage of electrolyte from the lithium battery when subjected to significant vibration is prevented.

A connecting pipe 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed disc 5, and a slot 8 is opened in the inner wall of the connecting pipe 7. A connecting groove 9 is connected to the upper end of the slot 8. A movable air plug 10 is slidably connected inside the connecting groove 9. A high-pressure spring 11 is fixed to the upper end of the movable air plug 10, and the other end of the high-pressure spring 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting groove 9. A pressure relief hole 12 is connected to the upper end of the connecting groove 9.

[0026] In existing technologies, lithium batteries are characterized by high energy density, several times that of lead-acid batteries, long service life (up to six years or more), low self-discharge rate, and light weight, making them convenient to use. However, some lithium batteries use a fully sealed outer casing for better overall sealing, which prevents high-pressure gas from escaping and can eventually lead to explosion, affecting the battery's lifespan. By adding a pressure relief block 4 inside the lithium battery, when the internal pressure exceeds the rated pressure, the high pressure pushes the movable air plug 10 forward along the pressure relief device slot 8. The pressurized gas is then discharged through the connecting hole and pressure relief hole 12.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the internal pressure of the lithium battery exceeds the rated pressure, the high pressure pushes the movable air plug 10 forward along the pressure relief device groove 8, and the pressurized gas is discharged through the connecting hole and the pressure relief hole 12. When the pressure returns to normal, the high pressure spring 11 pushes the movable air plug 10 back to its original position, thereby controlling the internal pressure of the lithium battery.
