Abstract

An improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing, wherein it is mainly comprised of that the bottoms of the electrode plates are respectively series combined by the series combining straps made of electric conductive or non-conductive materials; and for the improved combining structure between the electrode plates and the battery casing, besides of that the bottoms of the electrode plates can be series combined by the series combining straps, the bottom of the battery casing can be provided with foot slots for inserting the plate connectors, or the inside bottom of the battery casing is installed with the support posts protruding upward to support the electrode plates, or the inside bottom of the battery casing is installed with the series combining straps with slots for inserting the electrode plates; thereby with this composition, not only the positioning effect of the electrode plates can be improved, when the series combining straps are made of electric conductive material, the uniformity of the electric conduction on the electrode plate is also improved, whereby the battery operating life is also extended.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An improved structures of the battery electrode plates, wherein it is comprised of at least a positive plate, and at least two negative plates to consitute the negative and positive electrode plate groups, whereof the bottoms of the said plates are series combined by the series combining straps made of non-conductive material to provide bottom positioning of the said plates.  
     
     
         2 . The improved structure on the battery electrode plates as in  claim 1 , wherein the bottoms of the electrode plates are series combined by the series combining straps made of electric conductive material, whereby to provide bottom of plate positioning and to promote the uniformity of the electric conduction on the electrode plates.  
     
     
         3 . The improved structure on the battery electrode plates as in claims  1  or  2 , wherein it can be selected that the bottoms of the positive plates are series combined while the bottoms of the negative plates are not series combined.  
     
     
         4 . The improved structure on the battery electrode plates as in claims  1  or  2 , wherein it can be selected that the bottoms of the positive plates and the bottoms of the negative plates are all series combined.  
     
     
         5 . The improved structure on the battery electrode plates as in claims  1  or  2 , wherein it can be selected that the bottoms of the negative plates are series combined while the bottoms of the positive plates are not series combined.  
     
     
         6 . An improve combining structure between a kind of battery electrode plates and the battery casing, wherein it is characterized in: the bottoms of the said negative and positive plates are positioned at the bottom of the battery casting.  
     
     
         7 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in  claim 6 , wherein the bottom of the said negative and positive plates can be series combined by the electric conductive or non-conductive materials.  
     
     
         8 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and one battery casing as in  claim 6 , wherein the bottom of the said battery casing is installed with at least one foot slot for insertion of the bottom plate connector of the electrode plate.  
     
     
         9 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in  claim 6 , wherein the bottom of the said battery casing is installed with a support post protruding upward to support the electrode plate for positioning.  
     
     
         10 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in  claim 6 , wherein the bottom of the said battery casing can be an integrated structure of electric conductive or non-conductive material.  
     
     
         11 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in  claim 8 , wherein the foot slots are filled in with epoxy resin or acid solution to fill the space between the slots and the plate connector, whereby the filled-up epoxy resin can prevent acid drop-off from the electrode plate, while filled-up acid solution can maintain the adequate “acid remains” between the battery casing and the electrode plate, thereby to have a better charging recoverability.  
     
     
         12 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in claims  1  or  6 , wherein plate connectors can be in pairs to be formed at two diagonal corners of the electrode plate.  
     
     
         13 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in claims  1  or  6 , wherein plate connectors can be in pairs to be formed at the top and bottom of the electrode plate at the same side.  
     
     
         14 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in claims  1  or  6 , wherein the electrode plate can have only one plate connector.  
     
     
         15 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in claims  1  or  6 , wherein for a single cell compartment battery, the top and bottom of the said negative and positive plates can be installed with extended power output terminals, and the top and bottom power output terminal of the electrode plates of the same polarities are in positive to positive, negative to negative combination to supply power.  
     
     
         16 . The improved combining structure between the battery electrode plates and the battery casing as in  claim 6 , wherein for the battery of multiple cell compartments, the negative and positive polarities between the cell compartments are mutually series combined, whereof the tops and bottoms of the said negative and positive plates are all installed with extended a pair of positive and negative power output terminals, while the pairs of power output terminals are in positive to positive and negative to negative combinations to supply power.
