[0002] Vanadium redox flow batteries are a new type of high-efficiency energy conversion and storage device. Because their battery output power and energy storage capacity are independent of each other, they are suitable for use as large-scale energy storage devices in the power generation process of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy and in the peak shaving process of the power grid.

[0003] When using vanadium redox flow batteries, the optimal operating temperature of the battery fluid is between 5°C and 50°C. However, existing vanadium redox flow battery mounting and connection assemblies are designed with the assembly exposed, causing the battery fluid temperature to drop as it flows through the pipes. Furthermore, the battery fluid tends to crystallize over time, which can clog the pipes and affect the normal operation of the battery. It is also difficult to clean the crystals adhering to the inner wall of the pipes, and it is inconvenient to replace the filter screen when it is damaged, thus reducing the efficiency of the vanadium redox flow battery. Therefore, a new vanadium redox flow battery mounting and connection assembly is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0018] In this embodiment, see Figure 1-4 A vanadium redox flow battery mounting and connection assembly includes an inlet pipe 1 and a first pipe 6. The first pipe 6 has a disassembly mechanism inside. The disassembly mechanism includes a second pipe 701, which is connected through the middle of the first pipe 6. A fixing plate 702 is provided on the outside of the second pipe 701, and a support plate 703 is provided below the second pipe 701. The support plate 703 and the fixing plate 702 are connected by a bolt assembly 704. A filter screen 705 is provided inside the second pipe 701. Two sliders 706 are provided below the filter screen 705. The surfaces of the two sliders 706 are slidably connected to movable boxes 707. Springs 708 are provided between the bottom of the two sliders 706 and the inner walls of the two movable boxes 707, respectively.

[0019] It should be added that both springs 708 are made of rigid material, so when installing the filter screen 705, the filter screen 705 will not be unstable due to insufficient elasticity, which further improves the installation efficiency of the filter screen 705 and makes the filter screen 705 have a better filtration effect when in use. At the same time, the support plate 703 under the second pipe 701 can be disassembled to clean the crystals inside the second pipe 701.

[0020] Technical effect: By using two sliders 706, a movable box 707 and two springs 708 in cooperation, the filter screen 705 can be disassembled and replaced. This allows the filter screen 705 to be quickly disassembled when it needs to be cleaned or replaced, making it easy to replace the filter screen 705 to achieve the best filtration effect.

[0021] Optionally, see Figure 3-4 It also includes a cleaning mechanism, which includes a motor 709. The motor 709 is located on the surface of the first pipe 6. The output shaft of the motor 709 is connected to a support rod 710 extending into the interior of the first pipe 6 via a coupling. The surface of the support rod 710 is provided with a first conical tooth 711. A support plate is provided between the two opposite side walls of the inner cavity of the first pipe 6. A rotating rod 712 extending into the interior of the inlet pipe 1 is rotatably connected to the surface of the support plate. The surface of the rotating rod 712 is provided with a second conical tooth 713 and a scraper 714.

[0022] It should be added that the surface of the scraper 714 abuts against the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1. The purpose of this is to allow the scraper 714 to clean the crystals on the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1, so that the liquid inlet pipe 1 is not blocked. At the same time, the width of the support plate inside the first pipe 6 is much smaller than the diameter of the first pipe 6, so it will not affect the flow of battery fluid.

[0023] Technical effect: By using the motor 709, support rod 710, first conical tooth 711, rotating rod 712, second conical tooth 713 and scraper 714 in cooperation, the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1 can be cleaned, so that the crystals adhering to the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1 can be quickly removed, thereby avoiding blockage of the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1 and allowing the battery fluid to flow in the liquid inlet pipe 1.

[0024] Optionally, one end of the liquid inlet pipe 1 is provided with a connector 2, the other end of the liquid inlet pipe 1 is provided with a flange assembly 5, a water inlet pipe 3 is provided below the liquid inlet pipe 1, and a water outlet pipe 4 is provided below the liquid inlet pipe 1. The ends of the water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 4 are connected, and heated water flows inside the water inlet pipe 3 and the water outlet pipe 4.

[0025] In addition, both the inlet pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 4 are spiral-shaped, and the outlet of the heater needs to be connected to the inlet pipe 3, while the inlet of the heater needs to be connected to the outlet pipe 4.

[0026] Technical effect: By using the inlet pipe 3 and outlet pipe 4 in conjunction, the purpose is to heat the inlet pipe 1, so that the battery fluid inside the inlet pipe 1 can be kept at a suitable temperature, while reducing the probability of battery fluid crystallization.

[0027] Optionally, the end of the first flange assembly 5 away from the inlet pipe 1 is connected to the first pipe 6, the end of the first pipe 6 away from the inlet pipe 1 is connected to the third pipe 8, the other end of the third pipe 8 is provided with the second flange assembly 9, the other end of the second flange assembly 9 is connected to the outlet pipe 10, and the end of the outlet pipe 10 away from the second flange assembly 9 is connected to the second connector 11.

[0028] Technical effect: By setting up flange assembly 5 and flange assembly 9, the liquid outlet pipe 10 and liquid inlet pipe 1 can be disassembled and installed, thus facilitating the disassembly and replacement of liquid outlet pipe 10 and liquid inlet pipe 1.

[0029] Optionally, the support plate 703 has two slots on its surface, the size of which is adapted to the size of the two movable boxes 707, which allows the filter screen 705 to be disassembled and installed, making the filter screen 705 easy to clean and replace.

[0030] Optionally, the first conical tooth 711 is located above the second conical tooth 713, and the surface of the first conical tooth 711 meshes with the surface of the second conical tooth 713. The purpose is to enable the first conical tooth 711 to drive the second conical tooth 713 to rotate, thereby indirectly enabling the scraper 714 to clean the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1.

[0031] Optionally, multiple scrapers 714 are provided, and multiple scrapers 714 are evenly distributed on the surface of the rotating rod 712. Their function is to increase the cleaning area of ​​the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1, thereby making the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1 better.

[0032] Working principle: When the filter screen 705 needs to be disassembled, the support plate 703 needs to be removed from the second pipe 701 first. Then, the two moving boxes 707 are pulled upwards simultaneously, so that the two moving boxes 707 compress the two springs 708 at the same time. After the two moving boxes 707 are completely removed from the two slots, the filter screen 705 can be removed from the support plate 703. When the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1 needs to be cleaned, the motor 709 needs to be started first, so that the motor 709 drives the support rod 710 to rotate. The support rod 710 drives the first conical tooth 711 to rotate. The first conical tooth 711 drives the second conical tooth 713 to rotate, so that the second conical tooth 713 drives the rotating rod 712 to rotate, which in turn drives the scraper 714 to rotate, thus cleaning the inner wall of the liquid inlet pipe 1.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
