Description

Pile side face sealing method and pile
Technical Field
The invention mainly relates to the technical field of electric piles, in particular to a side sealing method of an electric pile and the electric pile.
Background
The flow battery pile is formed by repeatedly stacking pile components such as flow frames, wherein sealing between the flow frames is a key of pile sealing. How to keep the sealing between the liquid flow frames so that the leakage of the four sides of the electric pile does not occur is a necessary precondition for the reliable operation of the electric pile.
In a traditional flow battery pile, an elastic sealing strip is adopted for sealing between a flow frame and a flow frame, so that the cost is high, and after the pile runs for a long time, the sealing strip is easy to age and lose elasticity to cause sealing failure, pile leakage occurs, and the practical service life of the pile is influenced. How to uniformly and efficiently heat the side surface of the pile and effectively fuse the heat is a great technical difficulty to be solved in the field. When the side surface of the electric pile is heated, the heat dissipation conditions of different positions are different, and in general, the heat dissipation conditions of the middle area of the side surface of the electric pile are poor, so that heat is more easily accumulated to cause higher temperature, and the material decomposition caused by overheating of some areas can be caused to cause hot melting and failure; the heat dissipation condition of the local areas of the edges of the four sides of the side face of the electric pile is good, heat is easy to lose, the temperature is not raised enough, the adjacent liquid flow frames cannot be subjected to effective hot melting, and the hot melting and failure can be caused.
In the prior art, a laser welding mode is adopted to weld the side face of the electric pile, a laser head moves under the drive of an executing mechanism to form a line by points, and then the line is formed into a face to finish welding of the side face of the electric pile. The method has longer welding time, the laser welding surface needs to provide the pressing force applied to the side surface of the pile by using a transparent pressing device, the device and the operation are more complex, and the cost of the laser and the motion executing mechanism is higher, so that the investment cost of the production line is higher.
The 202211356776.8 patent is pressed against the side of the stack by a single heater contact glass cloth and also requires a pre-tightening pressing device applied to the side of the stack, which is relatively complex in construction. And because the temperature of the heating surface of the whole heater is consistent, the local heating power cannot be flexibly adjusted, and because the heat dissipation conditions of different local positions on the side surface of the electric pile are inconsistent, the local temperature is too high or too low, and the hot melting and the failure are caused. The heater can be removed after the side surface of the electric pile is cooled, and the cooling time is longer, so that the production period of the electric pile sealing process is longer and the production efficiency is lower.
