Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model patent belongs to the field of battery testing technology, specifically relating to a semiconductor temperature-controlled flow battery testing mold. Background Technology

[0002] In the current era of booming new energy technologies, flow batteries have become one of the core technologies in the field of large-scale energy storage due to their significant advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, high charge-discharge efficiency, and strong safety. During the research and development and performance testing of flow batteries, the temperature of the electrolyte has a decisive impact on the battery's electrochemical reaction rate, the stability of active materials, and overall cycle performance. Even small temperature fluctuations can lead to an imbalance in the battery's internal reaction kinetics, resulting in accelerated capacity decay, reduced charge-discharge efficiency, and even safety hazards.

[0003] However, existing flow battery testing equipment generally suffers from insufficient temperature control accuracy and limited temperature control range. Traditional temperature control methods often employ a single heating or cooling module, which is insufficient to meet the dynamic requirements of rapid temperature rise and fall and precise temperature maintenance during testing. While some devices are equipped with temperature control systems, the lack of effective thermal insulation design and optimized heat conduction structure leads to slow temperature control response, excessive energy consumption, and inability to withstand the corrosive effects of strong acids and alkalis in the electrolyte. Furthermore, existing devices have limitations in simulating test environments, making it difficult to construct a stable and reliable temperature control space. This fails to accurately reflect the performance of flow batteries in complex application scenarios, severely hindering the research and development and industrialization of flow battery technology. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a testing device with high-precision bidirectional temperature control capabilities, strong chemical resistance, and efficient heat dissipation and insulation performance to meet the stringent requirements of flow battery performance testing.

[0031] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model includes a housing 1, a top cover 2, and a temperature control component 3;

[0033] The temperature control component 3 is fixedly installed inside the box 1. The top of the box 1 is connected to the top cover 2 and is locked and fixed by the fixing piece 22 and the buckle 11 to form a sealed structure. The test bottle holder 33 in the temperature control component 3 stores the battery electrolyte, and the heat conduction plate 32 precisely controls the temperature of the electrolyte.

[0034] In this embodiment, the semiconductor cooling chip 341 is fixed on the layered heat sink 342. The layered heat sink 342 has a large surface area, which can achieve the effect of rapid heat dissipation. The heat sink 342 is placed inside the support shell 343. At this time, the upper surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 341 is still higher than the upper surface of the support shell 343. The cooling fan A344 is fixed to the lower part of the support shell 343 by bolts to form a semiconductor cooling device 34.

[0035] In this embodiment, the semiconductor cooling device 34 and the semiconductor heating element 35 are distributed crosswise on the lower surface of the heat-conducting plate 32. Several heat-conducting plates 32 with semiconductor cooling devices 34 and semiconductor heating elements 35 attached are placed together. The upper surface of the heat-conducting plate 32 is fixed together with the support plate 31 to form the temperature control component 3. The cooling fan A344, the semiconductor cooling element 341 and the semiconductor heating element 35 are all electrically connected to the inside of the integrated controller 14 through power lines.

[0036] In this embodiment, the temperature control component 3 is fixed in the housing 1. The bottom of the housing 1 is cooled by a fan B13 to blow out the heat conducted by the semiconductor cooling device 34. At the same time, one sensing wire of the temperature sensor 15 is connected to the test bottle holder 33, and the other sensing wire is placed in the electrolyte through the through hole 23 on the top cover 2 to monitor the temperature of the electrolyte in real time.

[0037] Detailed implementation methods and principles:

[0038] In use, the semiconductor temperature-controlled flow battery test mold first places the storage bottle inside the test bottle holder 33. Then, each integrated controller 14 is connected to two temperature sensors 15. One temperature sensor 15 is placed inside the storage bottle, while the other temperature sensor 15 is placed outside the storage bottle. The integrated controller 14 then controls the semiconductor cooling chip 341 and the semiconductor heating chip 35 to heat or cool. Heat is conducted using the heat conduction plate 32, and the integrated controller 14 precisely adjusts the temperature. Through bidirectional temperature control, a precise temperature control environment is provided for flow battery testing, allowing for the selection of either the temperature outside or inside the storage bottle for testing. In addition, the housing 1 is made of heat-insulating and corrosion-resistant material, possessing excellent chemical corrosion resistance. It also works in conjunction with the heat insulation plate 21 to provide heat insulation, ensuring a stable and suitable temperature environment for flow battery testing within the housing 1.

Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this utility model or its equivalents are included in this utility model.
