BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention disclosure relates to an electrical energy storage device and an electricity conducting mechanism thereof. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an electrical energy storage device which could be connected in a series and/or parallel manner with another same electrical energy storage device to provide physically dynamic balancing route for the conducted electricity. Such an electrical energy storage device has longer service life and wider application field due to the dynamic auto-balancing voltage in any mode including a normal mode, a charging mode, a discharging mode, and a charging-discharging mode.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Referring toFIG. 1, a typical rechargeable battery10includes an input terminal14and an output terminal16disposed respectively on two ends of a casing12. The input terminal14and the output terminal are electrically connected to an electrical energy storing component18. Two rechargeable batteries10could be connected with each other in series connection or in parallel connection to form a battery assembly which is then recharged by an external power device. The rechargeable battery10with lowest voltage or worst quality will be firstly recharged in a very short time period and the other rechargeable battery10will be subsequently recharged in accordance with the nature of physics. The sudden huge volume of the electricity input continually degrades and damages these rechargeable batteries10and shortens the service lives and its integral efficacy till the battery assembly is destroyed. The battery assembly could also be destroyed in a discharged mode due to the same reason. To eliminate such defect, the battery assembly may have an extra central controller disposed inside the battery assembly to detect inward and/or outward voltages and currents of each rechargeable battery10. However, such an extra central controller must have complicated circuits and therefore is expensive, and the central controller easily lose efficacy due to the increasing circuitry complexity when an amount of the rechargeable battery10in the battery assembly increases. As a result, the battery assembly still has risks of losing efficacy and reduced service life and results in danger.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring toFIG. 2toFIG. 4, an electrical energy storage device20, which has ability of dynamic voltage auto-balancing, includes a casing22, an input terminal set24having a plurality of first clamping male terminals38, an output terminal set26having a plurality of second clamping female terminals40, a protection circuit board28and an electricity conducting mechanism30. The first clamping male terminal38may be a male terminal while the second clamping female terminal40may be a female terminal, or may be in other arrangement.

Specifically, the casing22is a receptacle of any kind, hard and/or soft materials. The electrical energy storage device20may be provided without the casing22. The electricity conducting mechanism30is directly disposed between the input terminal set24and the output terminal set26and further connected to the protection circuit board28and at least one electrical energy storage unit32disposed inside the casing22. The electrical energy storage device20may contain a single cell battery or a multi-cell battery on account of the amount and the connection way (including in-series and/or in-parallel) of the electrical energy storage unit32. The plurality of first clamping male terminals38assembled with the input terminal set24and the plurality of second clamping female terminals40assembled with the output terminal set26are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the casing22. Any two of the electrical energy storage device20can be easily connected with each other in a way like combination of building blocks by engaging the plurality of first clamping male terminals38of one electrical energy storage device20with the plurality of second clamping female terminals40of the other electrical energy storage device20.

In other embodiments, the plurality of second clamping female terminals40may be disposed inside the input terminal set24and the plurality of first clamping male terminals38may be disposed inside the output terminal set26. Arrangement of the plurality of first clamping male terminals38and the plurality of second clamping female terminals40is not limited to the present disclosure. The protection circuit board28is disposed inside the casing22. An end of the protection circuit board28is electrically connected to the electricity conducting mechanism30via a first transmission cable34, and the other end of the protection circuit board28is electrically connected to the electrical energy storage unit32via a second transmission cable36. Two ends of the electricity conducting mechanism30are respectively connected to the input terminal set24and the output terminal set26. The plurality of first clamping male terminals38inside the input terminal set24and the plurality of second clamping female terminals40inside the output terminal set26are electrically connected to the electricity conducting mechanism30and the protection circuit board28via the first transmission cable34, and further electrically connected to the electrical energy storage unit32via the second transmission cable36with a voltage control function of the protection circuit board28. Meantime, the plurality of the first clamping male terminals38is accommodated inside the input terminal set24, and the input terminal set24may be structured as a recess of the casing22to prevent a user from accidently touching the plurality of first clamping male terminals38and therefore being electrically shocked. The plurality of second clamping female terminals40is accommodated inside the output terminal set26, and the output terminal set26may be structured as a protruding cover formed on a side surface of the casing22. The input terminal set24may be utilized to further accommodate the output terminal set26of the other electrical energy storage device20and therefore receive the plurality of second clamping female terminals40inside the output terminal set26when two electrical energy storage devices20are assembled together.

The plurality of first clamping male terminals38inside the input terminal set24may include several electrically positive terminals381and several electrically negative terminals382. The plurality of second clamping female terminals40inside the output terminal set26may include several electrically positive terminals401and several electrically negative terminals402. An amount of the electricity conducting mechanism30bridged between the input terminal set24and the output terminal set26is not limited in the present disclosure. For example, an electrical energy storage device20may have six or eight or even more electricity conducting mechanisms30to distribute the current flow and therefore enable efficient heat dissipation. An amount of the electrically positive terminals381and electrically negative terminals382inside the input terminal set24, and/or the electrically positive terminals401and electrically negative terminals402inside the output terminal set26may be varied correspondingly in accordance with the amount of the electricity conducting mechanism30.

In one embodiment, while the electrical energy storage device20is in a charging mode, an electrical current from an external power device is firstly received by the plurality of first clamping male terminals38inside the input terminal set24and simultaneously transmitted to the plurality of second clamping female terminals40inside the output terminal set26through the electricity conducting mechanism30, and/or to the electrical energy storage unit32through the voltage control function of the protection circuit board28. In other words, the electrical current from the external power device is not merely transmitted to the electrical energy storage unit32. Therefore, when a plurality of electrical energy storage devices20are connected with each other in series and/or in parallel in the charging mode, the electrical current transmitted from the external power device into these electrical energy storage devices20not only flows into an electrical energy storage device20having the lowest voltage but also actively flows into other electrical energy storage devices20having comparatively lower voltages than that of the electricity conducting mechanism30. The electricity conducting mechanism30establishes a direct current guiding channel to automatically and rapidly transmit current flow from the electrical energy storage device20having higher voltage to the electrical energy storage device20having lower voltage, and performs the function of dynamic voltage auto-balancing. In other words, any voltage difference between that of the electricity conducting mechanism30and that of any one of the electrical energy storage devices20activates the function of dynamic voltage auto-balancing among all the electrical energy storage devices20till the overall voltages reaches a stable status. When a plurality of electrical energy storage devices20are connected with each other in series and/or in parallel in a discharging mode, the function of dynamic voltage auto-balancing among all electrical energy storage devices20performs the same principle and a detailed description is omitted herein for simplicity.

In one embodiment, the protection circuit board28inside the electrical energy storage device20may perform maximal cut-off voltage/current in the charging mode and minimum voltage/current limit in the discharging mode, so as to control the voltage and current thereof and therefore protect the electrical energy storage device20from being degraded. As soon as the protection circuit board28detects that a voltage of the electrical energy storage unit32is lower than a voltage of the electricity conducting mechanism30, the electrical energy storage unit32is charged with a limit below 0.5C until a preset maximal cut-off is reached. On the other hand, the electrical energy storage unit32is discharged with a limit below 2C as soon as the protection circuit board28detects that a voltage of the electrical energy storage unit32is higher than a voltage of the electricity conducting mechanism30until a preset output limit is reached. The said symbol C is the capacity of the battery and commonly referred as a rate to define the volume of the charging/discharging current in one hour. In other embodiments, the charging and/or discharging limits may have other thresholds depending on various demands.

The electricity conducting mechanism30preferably has great electrical conductivity to effectively conduct the voltage/current flow to perform the function of dynamic voltage auto-balancing in the charging and discharging modes. The electricity conducting mechanism30may be made of a metal material plated by silver in one embodiment and of other materials and plating with high electrical conductivity in other embodiments. The electricity conducting mechanism30may include a conductive component31disposed between a first clamping male terminal38inside the input terminal set24and a second clamping female terminal40inside the output terminal set26to guide the voltage/current transmitted between the first clamping male terminal38and the second clamping female terminal40and thus establishes a direct voltage/current guiding channel. All these direct voltage/current guiding channels perform in physics way to balance voltage/current inside a plurality of the electrical energy storage devices20in connection, instead of prior charging and/or discharging only toward the electrical energy storage device20which has lowest voltage or worst quality. When the plurality of electrical energy storage devices20are connected with each other to form an electrical energy storage assembly, each electrical energy storage device20has ability to automatically receive or offer a corresponding electrical current in accordance with voltage difference between itself and the whole electrical energy storage assembly by means of the electricity conducting mechanism30. In other words, the electricity conducting mechanism30is able to transmit corresponding power signals in a dynamic voltage auto-balancing manner to every electrical energy storage device20so that the voltage/current of each electrical energy storage device20in the electrical energy storage assembly can flow actively and finally reach a stable state within a specific voltage range. The electrical energy storage device20in the present disclosure has advantages of increasing service life, increasing voltage level, expanding storage capacity and can be used for any DC energy storage system.

Moreover, the electricity conducting mechanism30not only effectively balances and stabilizes the voltages between the plurality of electrical energy storage devices20connected in series and/or in parallel, but also avoids overheating of the electrical components of each of the electrical energy storage devices20. As a result, an expensive water cooling or air cooling system could be unnecessary.

In one embodiment the electricity conducting mechanism30is preferably made of metal material with high heat durability, high electrical conductivity and high power conductivity to enhance safety of the whole electrical energy storage assembly especially in case for loading a higher current flow in a bigger plurality of electrical energy storage devices20connected in series and/or in parallel. An amount, a length, a width and a thickness of the electricity conducting mechanism30may be varied and defined in accordance with the following factors: a predetermined electricity in demand, an amount of the electrical energy storage unit32built-in the electrical energy storage device20, an amount of the electrical energy storage device20in an electrical energy storage assembly, and a maximal current limit preset by the protection circuit board28for the charging and discharging control. For safety consideration, a current volume during discharging is preferably smaller than, but not limited to, 200 ampere (AMP).

The electrical energy storage capacity of the electrical energy storage device20is varied according to the amount and specification of the electrical energy storage unit32, and therefore a plurality of electrical energy storage device20could be assembled to provide electrical power to any type of electrical devices. The larger power supply these electrical devices need, the more the plurality of electrical energy storage devices20are to be assembled. In a case of having a plurality of electrical energy storage units32accommodated in an electrical energy storage device20, an internal impedance coefficient of each electrical energy storage unit32is preferably limited within a specific range. Not only the plurality of electrical energy storage units32in the same electrical energy storage device20preferably have similar impedances limited within the specific range, but also the electrical energy storage units32in the different electrical energy storage devices20preferably have similar internal impedances within the specific range so as to ensure safety and stability of the electrical energy storage assembly for charging and discharging function.

In one embodiment, the electrical energy storage device20may further include a first transmission cable34connected between the electricity conducting mechanism30and the protection circuit board28, and a second transmission cable36connected between the protection circuit board28and the electrical energy storage unit32. The first transmission cable34is independent of the second transmission cable36. The second transmission cable36may have two unidirectional sub-wires respectively for unidirectional charging function and unidirectional discharging function, such that overheating of the second transmission cable36could be avoided. In other words, the two unidirectional sub-wires are used to avoid current reflux and protect service life of the electrical energy storage device20. In a scenario where the electrical energy storage device20is Lithium battery and the second transmission cable36is a single wire for both charging and discharging function, it is preferable that the protection circuit board28actuates charging and discharging protection within 30 milliseconds and more preferably within 6 milliseconds with a maximal charging electricity not exceeding 0.5C until the electrical energy storage unit32is full charged to a preset maximal cut-off, and a discharging electricity not exceeding 2C until the electrical energy storage unit32is electrically discharged to a preset discharging limit. In other embodiments, the maximal charging and/or discharging current may be limited to have other thresholds depending on various demands.

Referring toFIG. 2toFIG. 5, a first clamping male terminal38and a corresponding second clamping female terminal40of an electrical energy storage device20are respectively disposed on two opposite ends of a conductive component31. The first clamping male terminal38and the second clamping female terminal40can be fixed on or detachably disposed on the conductive component31, or the first clamping male terminal38and the second clamping female terminal40are connected to the conductive component31to form an integrated electricity conducting mechanism30. A plurality of electricity conducting mechanisms30may be assembled with other components to form an electricity conducting module for in-parallel connection56. The electricity conducting module for in-parallel connection56may act as parallel cable to establish a parallel connection of the electrical energy storage devices20. The first clamping male terminal38may have a planar structure, a sheet-like structure, a circular structure, a slab-like structure, a pillar-like structure or any other structures. The second clamping female terminal40may have a letter Y-like clamper having a clamping portion being shaped to fitly receive the first clamping male terminal38.

The plurality of first clamping male terminals38of one of the electrical energy storage devices20can be inserted into the plurality of second clamping female terminals40of the adjacent one of the electrical energy storage devices20to establish current transmission channel between the electrical energy storage devices20. The plurality of electrical energy storage devices20may be connected with each other in series and/or in parallel to form an electrical energy storage assembly. Therefore, thickness and areas of the clamping portions of the first clamping male terminal38and the second clamping female terminal40may be preferably increased to provide excellent electrical conductivity and efficient heat dissipation so as to decrease the temperature of the electrical energy storage assembly during charging and discharging, and to enhance convenience and safety during assembling. In other embodiments, the electricity conducting module for in-series connection54may be designed for an application of establishing an in-series connection between these electrical energy storage devices20, as shown inFIG. 6.

As shown inFIG. 7, the electricity conducting module for in-parallel connection56′ has the first clamping male terminal38′ and the second clamping female terminal40′ disposed respectively on two opposite ends of the conductive component31, wherein the first clamping male terminal38′ can be a sheet-like structure or a cube-like structure, and the second clamping female terminal40′ is a corresponding structure. As shown inFIG. 8, another electricity conducting module for in-parallel connection56″ has the first clamping male terminal38″ and the second clamping female terminal40″ disposed respectively on two opposite ends of the conductive component31, wherein the first clamping male terminal38″ is a wavy structure and the second clamping female terminal40″ is a wavy structure corresponding to the wavy structure of the first clamping male terminal38″. Shapes of the clamping male/female terminals may be designed differently and utilized to increase contact area between clamping portions of a male terminal and a female terminal, and are therefore not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments.

In embodiments, the first clamping male terminal38may have the planar structure, the sheet-like structure, the circular structure, the slab-like structure, or the pillar-like structure. The second clamping female terminal40may have a letter Y-like structure, and a clamping portion of the second clamping female terminal40may have a structure formed to be engaged with the planar structure, the sheet-like structure, the circular structure, the slab-like structure or the pillar-like structure of the first clamping male terminal38.

Referring toFIG. 5, the second clamping female terminal40mainly includes, but not limited to, a bottom portion42, a clamping portion44and a inclined guiding portion46, wherein two ends of the clamping portion44may be connected to the bottom portion42and the inclined guiding portion46, respectively. The inclined guiding portion46is a front part of the letter Y-like structure, and the bottom portion42is a rear part of the letter Y-like structure. The clamping portion44is a middle part of the letter Y-like structure to provide an obviously better larger clamping area than that of a typical letter M-like clamper whose point-contact or linear-contact limited clamping portion may rapidly cause high temperature increase during higher current transmission. The clamping portion44may be resiliently widened relative to the bottom portion42, and adapted to press tight against the first clamping male terminal38of the other electrical energy storage device20in an area contacting manner. In this way, a contact area between the clamping portion44of a second clamping female terminal40of an electrical energy storage device20and the first clamping male terminal38of the other electrical energy storage device20could be increased, so as to increase the transmission efficacy and the current volume and to effectively minimize the temperature increase for preventing overheating. The inclined guiding portion46provides an opening with a wide front end and a narrow rear end. The inclined guiding portion46is utilized to guide insertion of the first clamping male terminal38of the other electrical energy storage device20into the second clamping female terminal40, and then allows the clamping portion44to clamp the first clamping male terminal38with a big area contact.

Moreover, referring toFIG. 4, an electrical energy storage device20may include a first engaging component48and a second engaging component50disposed on two opposite sides of the casing22, respectively. The first engaging component48and the second engaging component50are designed to engage each other such that a plurality of electrical energy storage devices20could be assembled easily and firmly. When the two adjacent electrical energy storage devices20are assembled with each other by engagement of the first engaging component48and the second engaging component50, the plurality of first clamping male terminals38of one electrical energy storage device20would be meantime engaged with the plurality of second clamping female terminals40of the other electrical energy storage device20. Therefore, the two electrical energy storage devices20could be firmly assembled through this mechanical positioning. As shown in the above figures, a plurality of electrical energy storage devices20can be assembled in a parallel connection via the plurality of first clamping male terminals38and the plurality of second clamping female terminals40.

In other embodiments, referring toFIG. 6, the electricity conducting module for in-series connection54may be used to assemble several electrical energy storage devices20in a series connection. The electricity conducting module for in-series connection54is a mechanical device designed for the series connection of the electrical energy storage devices20.

The electricity conducting module for in-series connection54may be a cable or a plug, which is applied with the electricity conduction mechanism and has the internal wires and terminals to connect the positive terminals of one electrical energy storage device20with the negative terminals of another electrical energy storage device20, for series connection. The electricity conducting module for in-series connection54may properly adjust voltage variation of an electrical energy storage assembly, increase electric quantity and expand power capacity of the electrical energy storage assembly, and effectively minimize the temperature increase. The electricity conducting module for in-series connection54may be used independently or collaboratively with the plurality of first clamping male terminals38and the plurality of second clamping female terminals40in other embodiments for series connection. In other embodiments, the electricity conducting module for in-series connection54may further have a conduction switch operated by a user to control either to raise voltage of an electrical energy storage assembly of these electrical energy storage devices20, or to charge and discharge the electrical energy storage assembly in its original status.

In one embodiment, the electrical energy storage device20may optionally include a unidirectional DC charging port52disposed on the casing22and electrically connected to the electrical energy storage unit32via the protection circuit board28. The protection circuit board28is electrically connected to the unidirectional DC charging port52by a third transmission cable58. The unidirectional DC charging port52is utilized to transmit a power signal from an external apparatus into the electrical energy storage device20. In this case, the protection circuit board28may be used to detect three sources of power signals, including one transmitted from the input terminal set24, one transmitted from the external apparatus via the unidirectional direct current charging connector52, and one transmitted from the electrical energy storage unit32. The protection circuit board28detects parameters including voltages and/or currents of these three power signals, and performs voltage control function to adjust flow direction and volume of the power signal, that performs to avoid short-circuit of the electrical energy storage device20, or overheating etc.

In one embodiment, a DC power supply device (which can be an adapter) may be used to charge the electrical energy storage device20with city power, and the adapter may be provided with an indicator to allow manually or automatically cut-off the power supply when the electrical energy storage device20is charged or discharged to a predetermined voltage. Therefore, the electrical energy storage device20would have extended service life and expanded range of application. The indicator may be a light in a power supply device with city power, with a kinetic green energy generator, wind power generator, solar energy generator and even fossil energy generator, and the indicator may be another light to guide the user to manually stop discharging the electrical energy storage device20, or to indicate that the protection circuit board28has activated protection mechanism for discharging when the electrical energy storage device20is discharged to a predetermined voltage.

In another embodiment, the electrical energy storage device20may be effectively used for power storage with a clean energy generator, such as a kinetic generator, a wind power generator, a solar power generator, and/or a fossil energy generator, so that the user can obtain and store power energy in regions where normal power facilities are short or unavailable.

In the present disclosure, detecting instruments are utilized to select the electrical energy storage units32having internal impedance coefficients within a specific range, preferably within a difference of 0.15 mΩ, and then connect each other in series and/or in parallel to form an electrical energy storage device20. Moreover, a plurality of the electrical energy storage devices20having the internal impedance coefficients within the specific range further can be assembled in series and/or in parallel to form an integrated larger electrical energy storage assembly. The electricity conducting mechanism30is disposed between the input terminal set24and the output terminal set26of the electrical energy storage device20to establish the direct current guiding channel. Parameter difference of the power signals among the plurality of electrical energy storage devices20activates transmission of the power signal flowing into (charging) and flowing out of (discharging) the electrical energy storage unit32through the dynamic auto-balancing interface of the electricity conducting mechanism30in accordance with the voltage control function performed by the protection circuit board28. Therefore, each electrical energy storage device20of the electrical energy storage assembly shares a common balanced and stable voltage/current is ensured, and the electrical energy storage assembly acts just like as a single battery.

Moreover, a certain electrical energy storage device20having lowest voltage or the worst quality inside the energy storage assembly could be prevented from being prior ones charged and/or discharged. The letter Y-like second clamping female terminals40and the first clamping male terminals38with the sheet-like structure are respectively disposed on two ends of the electricity conducting mechanism30, and the clamping portion44of the second clamping female terminals40provides a larger contact area than that of a typical letter M-like terminal. The letter Y-like structure of the second clamping female terminals40further has advantages of saving materials, easy plug in and draw, and effectively dissipating heat to minimize the temperature, so as to guarantee the convenience and safety of the electrical energy storage device20.

The electricity conducting mechanism30of the present disclosure is a new conducting mechanism with the letter Y-like terminal having area contacting and may be further applied with other related electricity conducting modules. The electricity conducting mechanism30performs function of dynamic voltage auto-balancing by building a direct voltage/current guiding channels for power signals (or conducted currents) transmitted freely in physics way from a higher voltage level to a lower voltage level at all times among the electrical energy storage devices20no matter what situation the assembly of the electrical energy storage devices20are, such like including charge/discharge, charge, discharge, non-charge/non-discharge, and in series/parallel connection with other energy storage devices20. The function of dynamic voltage auto-balancing automatically actuates in a short time since the electrical energy storage devices20are connected with each other to be integrated so as to act as a single battery. Compared with the typical energy storage device, the electrical energy storage device20utilizes the electricity conducting mechanism30rather than an expensive electronic central controller to balance the voltages/currents among the plurality of electrical energy storage devices20. Even when an extra electrical energy storage device20is further connected to an existing energy storage assembly, the function of dynamic voltage auto-balancing still automatically actuates between the extra electrical energy storage device20and the existing energy storage assembly by means of the direct current guiding channel established by the electricity conducting mechanism30, and all of the electrical energy storage devices20of the newly assembled energy storage assembly connected in series and/or in parallel rapidly reach a voltage and electricity balanced status as a single large scale battery.
