Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery structure, and in particular to a lead-to-lithium battery assembly structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing severity of global energy shortages and environmental pollution, the development of efficient and clean new energy storage technologies has become an urgent need to promote sustainable economic and social development. Lithium-ion batteries, with their advantages of high energy density, long cycle life, lightweight design, and environmental friendliness, are gradually replacing traditional lead-acid batteries and becoming the mainstream choice in the power and energy storage fields. Against this backdrop, the "lead-to-lithium" technology has emerged, which involves replacing the internal core of the lead-acid battery with a lithium-ion battery pack while retaining the original lead-acid battery casing and equipment interface, thereby significantly reducing the cost of retrofitting user equipment and minimizing resource waste.
[0003] However, lead-acid batteries and lithium batteries differ fundamentally in structure and working principle. Lithium batteries require a dedicated protection board to provide comprehensive protection against overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, and short circuits, while the internal structure of traditional lead-acid battery casings does not provide a reliable mounting location for the protection board. Currently, in common lead-to-lithium battery conversion assembly methods, the protection board is often fixed using adhesive, cable ties, or simple plug-in methods, resulting in inaccurate positioning, easy loosening and detachment, poor shock resistance, and inadequate heat dissipation. This not only affects the long-term stability of the battery pack but also may lead to serious safety accidents due to protection board failure, thus hindering the widespread application of lead-to-lithium battery technology. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lead-to-lithium battery assembly structure to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] According to one aspect of this utility model, a lead-to-lithium battery assembly structure is provided, comprising: a lead-acid battery casing for accommodating a lithium battery pack and a protection plate, wherein the lead-acid battery casing has mounting holes for positive and negative terminals identical to those of the lead-acid battery; a lithium battery pack composed of multiple lithium battery cells connected in series or parallel, wherein the positive and negative leads of the lithium battery pack correspond to the mounting holes for positive and negative terminals on the lead-acid battery casing; a protection plate for protecting the lithium battery pack from overcharging, over-discharging, and overcurrent, wherein the protection plate has welding points corresponding to the positive and negative leads of the lithium battery pack; a bracket disposed within the lead-acid battery casing for fixing the protection plate, wherein the bracket has positioning structures and screw holes corresponding to the protection plate; and fasteners passing through the protection plate and engaging with the screw holes on the bracket to fix the protection plate to the bracket.
[0006] In some embodiments, the welding points on the protection board are connected to the positive and negative leads of the lithium battery pack by spot welding.
[0007] In some embodiments, the support is made of an insulating material.
[0008] In some embodiments, the positioning structure is a positioning post disposed on the bracket, and the protective plate is provided with positioning holes adapted to the positioning post.
[0009] In some embodiments, the fastener is a screw.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:
[0011] This invention, by setting up a bracket with a positioning structure and screw holes and using fasteners for locking, precisely and securely fixes the protection plate within the internal space of the lead-acid battery casing. This fundamentally eliminates the possibility of the protection plate loosening, shifting, or even falling off due to vehicle bumps or equipment vibrations, greatly improving the stability and reliability of the battery pack. This assembly structure cleverly utilizes the existing lead-acid battery casing, making the modification process simple, quick, and easy to operate, significantly improving production assembly efficiency, reducing process difficulty and worker skill requirements. Furthermore, since the bracket and fasteners are simple components with widely available and extremely low-cost raw materials, overall manufacturing costs are effectively controlled, giving this solution high economic value and market potential. Simultaneously, the use of an insulating bracket enhances electrical insulation safety, preventing short-circuit risks. The overall structure is compact and reasonable, fully demonstrating the comprehensive and significant advantages of this invention in improving product safety, reliability, production efficiency, and economic benefits.
