圖3是圖1的流體電池模組的串聯組件的示意圖。圖4是圖3的***示意圖。圖5是圖3的剖面示意圖。要說明的是,為了清楚顯示出第一框板111,在圖4中隱藏絕熱層128、第一吸熱層114及第二吸熱層117。 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of serial assemblies of the flow battery module of FIG. 1 . FIG. 4 is an exploded schematic diagram of FIG. 3 . FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 3 . It should be noted that, in order to clearly show the first frame plate 111 , the heat insulating layer 128 , the first heat absorbing layer 114 and the second heat absorbing layer 117 are hidden in FIG. 4 .

請參閱圖3至圖5,各串聯組件110包括兩第一框板111及一雙極板120。如圖4所示,各第一框板111包括凹陷於一第一表面112的一第一凹陷部113、位於第一凹陷部113內的一第一貫穿開口115及圍繞第一凹陷部113的一第一周圍區116。在本實施例中,兩第一框板111的兩第一表面112朝向於彼此,而使得兩第一凹陷部113朝向彼此。 Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 , each series assembly 110 includes two first frame plates 111 and a bipolar plate 120 . As shown in FIG. 4 , each first frame plate 111 includes a first recessed portion 113 recessed on a first surface 112, a first through opening 115 located in the first recessed portion 113, and surrounding first recessed portion 113. A first surrounding area 116 . In this embodiment, the two first surfaces 112 of the two first frame plates 111 face each other, so that the two first recesses 113 face each other.

雙極板120夾設於兩第一框板111的兩第一凹陷部113之間。雙極板120包括相對的兩雙極表面122。各雙極表面122包括一雙極中央區124及圍繞雙極中央區124的一雙極周圍區126。如圖3所示,當雙極板120組裝於兩第一框板111之間時,雙極中央區124外露於第一貫穿開口115。如圖4所示,雙極周圍區126為雙極表面122上對應於第一框板111的第一凹陷部113的部位,雙極周圍區126朝向對應的第一凹陷部113。 The bipolar plate 120 is sandwiched between the two first recesses 113 of the two first frame plates 111 . The bipolar plate 120 includes two opposite bipolar surfaces 122 . Each bipolar surface 122 includes a bipolar central region 124 and a bipolar peripheral region 126 surrounding the bipolar central region 124 . As shown in FIG. 3 , when the bipolar plate 120 is assembled between the two first frame plates 111 , the bipolar central region 124 is exposed to the first through opening 115 . As shown in FIG. 4 , the bipolar surrounding area 126 is a part on the bipolar surface 122 corresponding to the first concave portion 113 of the first frame plate 111 , and the bipolar surrounding area 126 faces the corresponding first concave portion 113 .

如圖5所示,在本實施例中,兩相鄰元件的介面之間透過面與面的形式熔接固定。具體地說,雙極板120的雙極周圍區126與相鄰的第一框板111的第一凹陷部113之間熔接固定,以使 雙極板120固定於第一框板111。熱熔接的方式例如是雷射、超音波、熱壓等熔接方式,但不以此為限制。 As shown in FIG. 5 , in this embodiment, the interfaces of two adjacent components are welded and fixed in a surface-to-surface manner. Specifically, the bipolar peripheral region 126 of the bipolar plate 120 is welded and fixed to the first concave portion 113 of the adjacent first frame plate 111, so that The bipolar plate 120 is fixed on the first frame plate 111 . The way of heat welding is, for example, laser, ultrasonic, hot pressing and other welding ways, but it is not limited thereto.

值得一提的是,雙極板120的材質例如是石墨,具有高導熱性。為了避免雙極板120的高導熱特質而難以透過加熱的方式熔接至第一框板111,在本實施例中,雙極周圍區126塗佈有一絕熱層128,以隔絕熱能傳導至雙極板120。如此一來,當第一框板111的第一凹陷部113受熱熔融時,會包覆雙極周圍區126,以使兩者接合在一起。 It is worth mentioning that the bipolar plate 120 is made of graphite, which has high thermal conductivity. In order to prevent the bipolar plate 120 from being welded to the first frame plate 111 by heating because of its high thermal conductivity, in this embodiment, the surrounding area 126 of the bipolar plate is coated with a heat insulating layer 128 to insulate the conduction of heat energy to the bipolar plate. 120. In this way, when the first concave portion 113 of the first frame plate 111 is heated and melted, it will cover the bipolar surrounding area 126 so that the two are bonded together.

在本實施例中,第一框板111例如透光,材質例如是ABS樹脂。絕熱層128可選用反射率高,熱傳導係數低的材質,以防止熱能由雙極板120散失,絕熱層128的反射率介於60%至100%之間。在一實施例中,絕熱層128例如是白漆(樹酯及高分子材料),反射率為90%,熱傳導係數為0.069W/m。當然,絕熱層128的形式不以此為限制。 In this embodiment, the first frame plate 111 is, for example, transparent, and its material is, for example, ABS resin. The heat insulating layer 128 can be made of a material with high reflectivity and low thermal conductivity to prevent heat energy from being lost from the bipolar plate 120 . The reflectivity of the heat insulating layer 128 is between 60% and 100%. In one embodiment, the thermal insulation layer 128 is, for example, white paint (resin and polymer material), with a reflectivity of 90% and a thermal conductivity of 0.069 W/m. Of course, the form of the heat insulating layer 128 is not limited thereto.

值得一提的是,若是以雷射光來熔接,第一框板111呈透明的話,透明的第一框板111難以吸熱。因此,在本實施例中,各第一凹陷部113塗佈有一第一吸熱層114,以利於熱能可以集中於第一凹陷部113的表面,以與雙極周圍區126良好地熔接。 It is worth mentioning that if the first frame plate 111 is transparent if laser light is used for welding, it is difficult for the transparent first frame plate 111 to absorb heat. Therefore, in this embodiment, each first recessed portion 113 is coated with a first heat absorbing layer 114 , so that heat energy can be concentrated on the surface of the first recessed portion 113 for good fusion with the bipolar surrounding area 126 .

此外,兩第一框板111的兩第一周圍區116朝向彼此且透過熱熔接的方式固定於彼此。熱熔接的方式例如是雷射、超音波、熱壓等熔接方式。同樣地,兩第一框板111的兩第一周圍區116的其中一個塗佈有一第二吸熱層117,以利於熱能可以集中於 兩第一周圍區116之間,以使兩第一周圍區116良好地熔接。 In addition, the two first peripheral regions 116 of the two first frame plates 111 face each other and are fixed to each other by heat welding. The heat welding methods are, for example, laser, ultrasonic, hot pressing and other welding methods. Similarly, one of the two first surrounding regions 116 of the two first frame plates 111 is coated with a second heat absorbing layer 117, so that heat energy can be concentrated on between the two first surrounding areas 116 so that the two first surrounding areas 116 are well welded.

第一吸熱層114的吸光率介於60%至100%之間,第二吸熱層117的吸光率介於60%至100%之間。在一實施例中,第一吸熱層114與第二吸熱層117為黑漆(樹酯及高分子材料),吸光率為99%。當然,第一吸熱層114與第二吸熱層117的材料不以此為限制。 The light absorption rate of the first heat absorption layer 114 is between 60% and 100%, and the light absorption rate of the second heat absorption layer 117 is between 60% and 100%. In one embodiment, the first heat absorbing layer 114 and the second heat absorbing layer 117 are made of black paint (resin and polymer material), and the light absorbing rate is 99%. Certainly, the materials of the first heat absorbing layer 114 and the second heat absorbing layer 117 are not limited thereto.

在本實施例中,串聯組件110的兩第一框板111的兩第一周圍區116熔接於彼此,且雙極板120的雙極周圍區126熔接第一框板111的第一凹陷部113。也就是說,兩相鄰元件的介面之間透過面與面的形式熔接,而具有良好的密封性,且可不使用螺絲或螺栓,而可避免應力集中的狀況。 In this embodiment, the two first peripheral regions 116 of the two first frame plates 111 of the series assembly 110 are welded to each other, and the bipolar peripheral regions 126 of the bipolar plate 120 are welded to the first concave portion 113 of the first frame plate 111 . That is to say, the interface between the two adjacent components is welded surface-to-surface, so as to have good sealing performance, and no screws or bolts are used to avoid stress concentration.

經實測,透過雷射熔接,兩第一框板111的兩第一周圍區116之間在操作參數為功率為1W,走速150mm/s,壓力0.4MPa的狀況下,可得到最佳的接合強度,為38.3MPa,且在相同操作參數下,第一凹陷部113的表面與雙極周圍區126之間的接合強度為15.23MPa,而具有良好的表現。 According to the actual measurement, through laser welding, the best joint can be obtained between the two first surrounding areas 116 of the two first frame plates 111 under the conditions of operating parameters such as power of 1W, travel speed of 150mm/s, and pressure of 0.4MPa The strength is 38.3 MPa, and under the same operating parameters, the bonding strength between the surface of the first recessed portion 113 and the bipolar peripheral region 126 is 15.23 MPa, which is a good performance.

圖6是圖1的流體電池模組的質膜組件的示意圖。圖7是圖6的***示意圖。圖8是圖6的剖面示意圖。請參閱圖6至圖8,在本實施例中,質膜組件130包括兩第二框板131及一質子膜140。 FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the plasma membrane assembly of the flow battery module in FIG. 1 . FIG. 7 is an exploded schematic diagram of FIG. 6 . FIG. 8 is a schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 6 . Referring to FIGS. 6 to 8 , in this embodiment, the plasma membrane assembly 130 includes two second frame plates 131 and a proton membrane 140 .

如圖7所示,各第二框板131包括凹陷於一第二表面132的一第二凹陷部133、位於第二凹陷部133內的一第二貫穿開口 134及圍繞第二凹陷部133的一第二周圍區135,兩第二框板131的兩第二表面132朝向於彼此,而使兩第二凹陷部133朝向於彼此。 As shown in FIG. 7 , each second frame plate 131 includes a second recessed portion 133 recessed on a second surface 132 , and a second through opening located in the second recessed portion 133 134 and a second surrounding area 135 surrounding the second recessed portion 133 , the two second surfaces 132 of the two second frame plates 131 face each other, so that the two second recessed portions 133 face each other.

質子膜140夾設於兩第二框板131的兩第二凹陷部133之間,且包括相對的兩質膜表面142。各質膜表面142包括一質膜中央區144及圍繞質膜中央區144的一質膜周圍區146。如圖6所示,當質子膜140組裝於兩第二框板131之間時,質膜中央區144外露於第二貫穿開口134。如圖7所示,質膜周圍區146為質膜表面142上對應於第二框板131的第二凹陷部133的部位,質膜周圍區146朝向對應的第二凹陷部133。 The proton membrane 140 is sandwiched between the two second recesses 133 of the two second frame plates 131 , and includes two opposite plasma membrane surfaces 142 . Each plasma membrane surface 142 includes a plasma membrane central region 144 and a plasma membrane peripheral region 146 surrounding the plasma membrane central region 144 . As shown in FIG. 6 , when the proton membrane 140 is assembled between the two second frame plates 131 , the central region 144 of the plasma membrane is exposed to the second through opening 134 . As shown in FIG. 7 , the area around the plasma membrane 146 is a part on the surface of the plasma membrane 142 corresponding to the second depression 133 of the second frame plate 131 , and the area around the plasma membrane 146 faces the corresponding second depression 133 .

如圖8所示,在本實施例中,質膜組件130的兩第二框板131的兩第二周圍區135熱壓合或超音波熔接於彼此,且第二框板131的第二凹陷部133朝向且熱壓合或超音波熔接於對應的質膜周圍區146。 As shown in FIG. 8 , in this embodiment, the two second peripheral regions 135 of the two second frame plates 131 of the plasma membrane assembly 130 are heat-pressed or ultrasonically welded to each other, and the second recesses of the second frame plates 131 Portion 133 faces and is thermocompressed or ultrasonically welded to the corresponding periplasmic membrane region 146 .

在本實施例中,熱熔接的方式例如是超音波或是熱壓合,以避免加熱溫度過高而使得質子膜140破裂。也就是說,在進行質膜組件130組裝時,會特別選用不超過200度的熔接方式來進行,以保護質子膜140。 In this embodiment, the heat welding method is, for example, ultrasonic wave or thermocompression bonding, so as to prevent the proton membrane 140 from being broken due to excessive heating temperature. That is to say, when assembling the plasma membrane module 130 , a welding method not exceeding 200 degrees is specially selected to protect the proton membrane 140 .

經實驗,以超音波熔接為例,在操作參數的選擇上,若材料厚度為0.5公厘,在壓力為10psi、15psi、30psi,且熔接時間大於1秒時,抗拉力可達400N以上。此外,當壓力為10psi且熔接時間為1.5秒時,抗拉力可達400N以上,且溢料率小於 4%。因此,利用上述實驗得到的參數(壓力為10psi且熔接時間為1.5秒)來熱熔接兩第二框板131及質子膜140,抗拉力可達183.3N(36.7MPa),且表面平整,而有良好的表現。 After experiments, taking ultrasonic welding as an example, in the selection of operating parameters, if the material thickness is 0.5 mm, the tensile force can reach more than 400N when the pressure is 10psi, 15psi, 30psi, and the welding time is greater than 1 second. In addition, when the pressure is 10psi and the welding time is 1.5 seconds, the tensile force can reach more than 400N, and the flash rate is less than 4%. Therefore, using the parameters obtained from the above experiment (the pressure is 10 psi and the welding time is 1.5 seconds) to thermally weld the two second frame plates 131 and the proton membrane 140, the tensile force can reach 183.3N (36.7MPa), and the surface is smooth, and Have good performance.

同樣地,質膜組件130的兩相鄰元件的介面之間透過面與面的形式熔接,而具有良好的密封性,且可不使用螺絲或螺栓,而可避免應力集中的狀況。 Similarly, the interface between two adjacent elements of the plasma membrane module 130 is welded surface-to-surface, so as to have good sealing performance, and no screws or bolts are used to avoid stress concentration.

請回到圖1,在本實施例中,串聯組件110與質膜組件130再分別組裝完成之後,再交錯地配置,且將相鄰的串聯組件110與質膜組件130密封在一起。下面將對此說明。 Please return to FIG. 1 , in this embodiment, after the serial modules 110 and the plasma membrane modules 130 are assembled respectively, they are arranged in a staggered manner, and the adjacent serial modules 110 and the plasma membrane modules 130 are sealed together. This will be explained below.

圖9是圖1的流體電池模組的串聯組件與質膜組件的局部剖面示意圖。請參閱圖9,在本實施例中,串聯組件110的第一框板111包括相對於第一表面112的一第三表面118。質膜組件130的第二框板131包括相對於第二表面132的一第四表面136。 FIG. 9 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of the serial assembly and the plasma membrane assembly of the flow battery module in FIG. 1 . Please refer to FIG. 9 , in this embodiment, the first frame plate 111 of the serial assembly 110 includes a third surface 118 opposite to the first surface 112 . The second frame plate 131 of the plasma membrane assembly 130 includes a fourth surface 136 opposite to the second surface 132 .

第一框板111的第三表面118朝向對應的第二框板131的第四表面136,一密封膠體150設置於第三表面118與第四表面136之間,以接合串聯組件110與質膜組件130,而完成封裝。由於兩相鄰的串聯組件110與質膜組件130之間透過面與面的形式熔接,而具有良好的密封性,且可不使用螺絲或螺栓,而可避免應力集中的狀況。 The third surface 118 of the first frame plate 111 faces the corresponding fourth surface 136 of the second frame plate 131, and a sealant 150 is disposed between the third surface 118 and the fourth surface 136 to join the serial assembly 110 and the plasma membrane Component 130, and the package is completed. Since the two adjacent serial modules 110 and the plasma membrane module 130 are welded surface-to-surface, they have good sealing performance, and no screws or bolts are used to avoid stress concentration.

在本實施例中,密封膠體150為一中性矽質密封膠。精實測,若第三表面118與第四表面136為光滑面,中性矽質密封膠的抗拉強度可達11MPa,而具有良好的表現。當然,密封膠體 150使用耐酸鹼且具黏著力之膠體即可,密封膠體150的種類不以此為限制。 In this embodiment, the sealant 150 is a neutral silicone sealant. According to actual measurement, if the third surface 118 and the fourth surface 136 are smooth surfaces, the tensile strength of the neutral silicone sealant can reach 11 MPa, which is a good performance. Of course, the sealant 150 can use acid and alkali resistant and adhesive colloid, and the type of sealing colloid 150 is not limited thereto.

值得一提的是,為了提升第一框板111的第三表面118與第二框板131的第四表面136之間的接合力,在本實施例中,第三表面118與第四表面136經表面處理而為兩粗糙面,而使得密封膠體150更穩固地附著在第三表面118與第四表面136。在本實施例中,第三表面118與第四表面136的表面粗糙度介於3μm至50μm之間。 It is worth mentioning that, in order to enhance the bonding force between the third surface 118 of the first frame plate 111 and the fourth surface 136 of the second frame plate 131, in this embodiment, the third surface 118 and the fourth surface 136 After the surface treatment, the two rough surfaces make the sealant 150 more firmly attached to the third surface 118 and the fourth surface 136 . In this embodiment, the surface roughness of the third surface 118 and the fourth surface 136 is between 3 μm and 50 μm.

對第三表面118與第四表面136進行表面處理的方式例如是利用砂紙研磨表面,但表面處理的方式不以此為限制。表面粗糙度太大,會導致密封膠體150無法緊密附著,反而降低抗拉強度,因此表面粗糙度並非越大越好。 The surface treatment method of the third surface 118 and the fourth surface 136 is, for example, grinding the surfaces with sandpaper, but the surface treatment method is not limited thereto. If the surface roughness is too large, the sealing colloid 150 will not adhere tightly, and the tensile strength will be reduced instead. Therefore, the larger the surface roughness, the better.

經實驗,利用砂紙號數為P100的砂紙來研磨時表面粗糙度介於40μm至50μm之間,利用砂紙號數為P600的砂紙來研磨時表面粗糙度介於10μm至14μm之間,利用砂紙號數為P1000的砂紙來研磨時表面粗糙度介於5μm至7μm之間。 According to experiments, the surface roughness is between 40 μm and 50 μm when using sandpaper number P100 for grinding, and the surface roughness is between 10 μm and 14 μm when using sandpaper number P600. The surface roughness is between 5 μm and 7 μm when grinding with sandpaper with a count of P1000.

經實測,表面粗糙度介於3μm至50μm之間時,第一框板111與第二框板131之間的密封膠體150的抗拉強度均有良好的表現。進一步地,表面粗糙度介於5μm至7μm之間時,第一框板111與第二框板131之間的密封膠體150的抗拉強度可達22MPa,而有更佳的表現。 According to actual measurements, when the surface roughness is between 3 μm and 50 μm, the tensile strength of the sealant 150 between the first frame plate 111 and the second frame plate 131 has a good performance. Furthermore, when the surface roughness is between 5 μm and 7 μm, the tensile strength of the sealant 150 between the first frame plate 111 and the second frame plate 131 can reach 22 MPa, which is better.

綜上所述,本發明的流體電池模組的串聯組件的雙極板 夾設在兩第一框板之間。雙極板的雙極中央區外露於第一貫穿開口,雙極板的雙極周圍區朝向對應的第一框板的第一凹陷部,且雙極周圍區塗佈有一絕熱層。第一框板的第一凹陷部熔接於對應的雙極周圍區,且兩第一框板的兩第一周圍區熔接於彼此。換句話說,本發明的流體電池模組的串聯組件的兩第一框板的兩第一周圍區熔接於彼此,且雙極板的雙極周圍區熔接第一框板的第一凹陷部,兩相鄰元件的介面之間透過面熔接的方式固定,而可不使用螺絲或螺栓,而可避免應力集中的狀況。再者,為了避免雙極板的高導熱特質而難以透過加熱的方式熔接至第一框板,雙極周圍區塗佈有一絕熱層,以避免熱能經由雙極板散失,而能夠完成熱熔接。 In summary, the bipolar plate of the series assembly of the flow battery module of the present invention It is sandwiched between two first frame plates. The bipolar central area of the bipolar plate is exposed to the first through opening, the bipolar peripheral area of the bipolar plate faces the corresponding first concave portion of the first frame plate, and the bipolar peripheral area is coated with a heat insulating layer. The first concave portion of the first frame plate is welded to the corresponding bipolar surrounding area, and the two first surrounding areas of the two first frame plates are welded to each other. In other words, the two first surrounding areas of the two first frame plates of the series assembly of the flow battery module of the present invention are welded to each other, and the bipolar surrounding areas of the bipolar plates are welded to the first concave portion of the first frame plate, The interface between two adjacent components is fixed by surface welding without using screws or bolts, thereby avoiding stress concentration. Moreover, in order to prevent the bipolar plate from being difficult to be welded to the first frame plate by heating because of its high thermal conductivity, the surrounding area of the bipolar plate is coated with a heat insulating layer to prevent heat energy from being lost through the bipolar plate, thereby enabling thermal welding to be completed.
