Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vanadium redox flow batteries, and more particularly to an installation structure for a vanadium redox flow battery. Background Technology

[0002] A vanadium redox flow battery is a redox battery that uses vanadium as the active material in a circulating liquid state. The battery's electrical energy is stored as chemical energy in a sulfuric acid electrolyte containing vanadium ions of different valence states. An external pump forces the electrolyte into the battery stack, where it circulates within closed loops of different storage tanks and half-cells under mechanical force. A proton exchange membrane serves as the separator in the battery pack. The electrolyte solution flows parallel across the electrode surfaces, undergoing electrochemical reactions. Current is collected and conducted through dual electrode plates, thus converting the chemical energy stored in the solution into electrical energy. This reversible reaction process allows the vanadium battery to smoothly complete charging, discharging, and recharging.

[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that conventional vanadium redox flow batteries are inconvenient to install because of their heavy weight. This necessitates the use of handling equipment, and the process of placing or removing the batteries from the handling equipment requires considerable effort from the staff.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the inconvenience of installing and transporting conventional vanadium redox flow batteries, this application provides an installation structure for vanadium redox flow batteries.

[0006] The mounting structure of the all-vanadium redox flow battery provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An installation structure for a vanadium redox flow battery includes a battery body and a mounting frame. Several fixing rods are fixedly installed on the surface of the battery body, evenly distributed around its four sides. A limit frame is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame, and several rotating wheels are rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting frame. These rotating wheels are divided into two groups, symmetrically distributed about the mounting frame. A placement frame is slidably installed at the bottom of each rotating wheel. Several anti-slip strips are fixedly connected to the top of the placement frame. The top of the mounting frame is movably connected to the bottom of the battery body, and the dimensions of the top of the mounting frame are compatible with the dimensions of the bottom of the battery body. The anti-slip strips are rubber strips.

[0008] Preferably, two fixed frames are fixedly installed on the top of the placement frame. The two fixed frames are symmetrically distributed about the placement frame, and the inner wall of the fixed frame is slidably connected to a limiting block. The top of the limiting block is fixedly installed to the bottom of the placement frame, and the cross-section of the limiting block is an "L" shape.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the placement rack is fixedly connected to two limiting plates, which are symmetrically distributed about the placement rack. One end of the limiting plate is slidably installed on the surface of the rotating wheel. The top of the placement rack is provided with an installation groove that matches the rotating wheel, and the inner wall of the installation groove is movably connected to the surface of the rotating wheel.

[0010] Preferably, two shock-absorbing plates are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame. The two shock-absorbing plates are symmetrically distributed about the mounting frame, and the top of the shock-absorbing plates is movably connected to the bottom of the battery body. The shock-absorbing plates are polyurethane plates.

[0011] Preferably, a fixing frame is snapped onto the surface of the limiting block, the surface of the fixing frame is slidably installed with the inner wall of the fixing frame, and the dimensions of the surface of the fixing frame are adapted to the dimensions of the bottom end of the limiting block.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom end of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to two push springs, the bottom end of the push springs is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the fixing frame, the two push springs are symmetrically distributed about the fixing frame, and a control block is fixedly connected to one end of the fixing frame, the surface of the control block is slidably installed with the surface of the fixing frame.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the control block is threaded with a fixing bolt, and the surface of the fixing bolt engages with the surface of the fixing frame.

[0014] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. By connecting the mounting frame, the limiting frame, and the surface of the battery body, several rotating wheels are rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting frame. A placement frame is slidably mounted on the bottom of the rotating wheels to facilitate the movement of the battery body. Moving the rotating wheels to the top of the placement frame moves and fixes the battery body. A fixing frame is installed on the top of the placement frame, and a limiting block is engaged with the inner wall of the fixing frame. The top of the limiting block is connected to the bottom of the mounting frame to fix the mounting frame and the placement frame together. Two limiting plates are installed on the top of the placement frame, and mounting grooves adapted to the rotating wheels are opened on the top of the placement frame to fix the rotating wheels together with the limiting plates. Two polyurethane shock-absorbing plates are installed on the top of the mounting frame to prevent the battery body from colliding with the mounting frame during movement. Compared with the existing technology, this method effectively improves the convenience of installation and transportation of vanadium redox flow batteries.

[0016] 2. Alternatively, the fixing bracket can be installed inside the fixing frame to facilitate the installation of the limiting block within the fixing frame, thereby improving the fixing effect of the mounting bracket. Two push springs are installed at the bottom of the fixing bracket, and a control block is connected to one end of the fixing bracket. By controlling the fixing bracket to move down through the control block, the fixing of the limiting block can be released, facilitating the separation of the mounting bracket from the placement frame. The surface of the control block is threaded with fixing bolts, which can be used for reinforcement after the device is installed stably to ensure the stability of the battery body after installation; effectively improving the performance of the device.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses an installation structure for an all-vanadium redox flow battery, referring to... Figure 1 - Figure 2The system includes a battery body 1, with several fixing rods 2 mounted on its surface. The fixing rods 2 enhance the overall stability of the battery body 1. A mounting frame 3 is connected to the bottom of the battery body 1. Two limiting frames 12 are connected to the surface of the mounting frame 3. The limiting frames 12 are connected to the surface of the battery body 1 by bolts, preventing the battery body 1 from detaching from the mounting frame 3. Several rotating wheels 4 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 3. A placement frame 5 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the rotating wheels 4. Several rubber anti-slip strips 10 are mounted on the surface of the placement frame 5. The anti-slip strips 10 prevent the rotating wheels 4 from slipping and rolling backward during installation. The rotating wheels 4 facilitate the movement of the battery body 1. Moving the rotating wheels 4 to the top of the placement frame 5 allows for the movement and fixation of the battery body 1, effectively reducing the workload of the operators and improving the convenience of installation and transportation of the vanadium redox flow battery.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 A fixed frame 6 is installed on the top of the placement frame 5. A limiting block 7 is snapped into the inner wall of the fixed frame 6. The top of the limiting block 7 is connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 and the placement frame 5 are fixed together by the limiting block 7 and the fixed frame 6, which effectively improves the stability of the vanadium redox flow battery after installation. Two limiting plates 8 are installed on the top of the placement frame 5. One end of the limiting plate 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating wheel 4. The top of the placement frame 5 is provided with a mounting groove 9 that matches the rotating wheel 4. The limiting plate 8 restricts the movement direction of the rotating wheel 4 and fixes the rotating wheel 4 with the mounting groove 9, thereby ensuring the stability of the battery body 1 after installation. Two polyurethane shock-absorbing plates 11 are installed on the top of the mounting frame 3. The top of the shock-absorbing plate 11 is connected to the bottom of the battery body 1. The polyurethane material of the shock-absorbing plate 11 has shock-absorbing properties, thereby preventing the battery body 1 from colliding with the mounting frame 3 when moving.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 4The fixing bracket 13 is installed inside the fixing frame 6. The top of the fixing bracket 13 is engaged with the bottom of the limiting block 7. The fixing bracket 13 is used to install the limiting block 7 inside the fixing frame 6, thereby improving the fixing effect of the mounting bracket 3. Two push springs 14 are installed at the bottom of the fixing bracket 13. The bottom of the push springs 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 6. One end of the fixing bracket 13 is connected to a control block 15. The push springs 14 push the fixing bracket 13 to keep it engaged with the limiting block 7, thereby improving the fixing effect of the limiting block 7. The fixing block 7 can be released by moving the fixing bracket 13 down by controlling the control block 15, which facilitates the separation of the mounting bracket 3 from the placement bracket 5. The surface of the control block 15 is threaded with a fixing bolt 16. One end of the fixing bolt 16 is engaged with the surface of the fixing frame 6. The fixing bolt 16 is used to fix the control block 15, thereby strengthening the device after it is installed stably, so as to ensure the stability of the battery body 1 after installation.

[0026] The implementation principle of the installation structure of a vanadium redox flow battery according to this application embodiment is as follows: A mounting frame 3 is connected to the bottom end of the battery body 1. Two limiting frames 12 are connected to the surface of the mounting frame 3. The limiting frames 12 are connected to the surface of the battery body 1 by bolts, preventing the battery body 1 from detaching from the mounting frame 3. Several rotating wheels 4 are rotatably connected to the bottom end of the mounting frame 3. A placement frame 5 is slidably mounted on the bottom end of the rotating wheels 4. Several rubber anti-slip strips 10 are installed on the surface of the placement frame 5. The anti-slip strips 10 prevent the rotating wheels 4 from slipping and rolling backward during installation, facilitating the movement of the battery body 1 using the rotating wheels 4. Moving the rotating wheels 4 to the top of the placement frame 5 moves and fixes the battery body 1, effectively reducing the workload of the operator. A fixing frame 6 is installed on the top of the placement frame 5, and the inner wall of the fixing frame 6 is fitted with... The top of the limiting block 7 is connected to the bottom of the mounting frame 3, so as to fix the mounting frame 3 and the placement frame 5 together with the fixing frame 6, effectively improving the stability of the vanadium redox flow battery after installation. Two limiting plates 8 are installed on the top of the placement frame 5. One end of the limiting plate 8 is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating wheel 4. The top of the placement frame 5 is provided with a mounting groove 9 that matches the rotating wheel 4, so as to limit the movement direction of the rotating wheel 4 with the limiting plate 8 and fix the rotating wheel 4 with the mounting groove 9, thereby ensuring the stability of the battery body 1 after installation. Two polyurethane shock-absorbing plates 11 are installed on the top of the mounting frame 3. The top of the shock-absorbing plate 11 is connected to the bottom of the battery body 1, so as to avoid collision between the battery body 1 and the mounting frame 3 when moving by using the shock-absorbing properties of the polyurethane material of the shock-absorbing plate 11.

[0027] The fixing bracket 13 can also be installed inside the fixing frame 6. The top of the fixing bracket 13 is engaged with the bottom of the limiting block 7, so that the limiting block 7 can be installed inside the fixing frame 6 with the fixing bracket 13, thereby improving the fixing effect of the mounting bracket 3. Two push springs 14 are installed at the bottom of the fixing bracket 13. The bottom of the push springs 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 6. One end of the fixing bracket 13 is connected to a control block 15, so that the fixing bracket 13 can be pushed with the push springs 14 to keep the fixing bracket 13 engaged with the limiting block 7, thereby improving the fixing effect of the limiting block 7. The fixing of the limiting block 7 can be released by moving the fixing bracket 13 down with the control block 15, so that the mounting bracket 3 can be separated from the placement bracket 5. The surface of the control block 15 is threaded with a fixing bolt 16. One end of the fixing bolt 16 is engaged with the surface of the fixing frame 6, so that the control block 15 can be fixed with the fixing bolt 16. After the device is installed stably, it can be reinforced with the fixing bolt 16 to ensure the stability of the battery body 1 after installation.
