Patent ID: 10886571

Abstract:
The invention relates to a mixing element designed to be installed into a housing of a liquid electrolyte-operated electrochemical accumulator in order to mix the electrolyte as a result of forces and/or motion exerted on the accumulator during operation, wherein the mixing element is designed as a hollow body provided with at least one respective opening at opposite end regions such that a channel is formed in the hollow body which leads into the at least one respective opening in the opposite end regions and is circumferentially delimited there by the material of the mixing element, wherein the mixing element comprises one or more securing and/or spacer ribs protruding from the external side of the mixing element and designed to contact parts of the accumulator housing in order to fix the mixing element in the accumulator and/or set a specific position of the mixing element relative to the housing parts. The invention further relates to a range of mixing elements as well as an accumulator having at least one mixing element.
