[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a modular energy storage battery rack, including a load-bearing frame 1. Horizontal bars 4 are installed at intervals from top to bottom on the load-bearing frame 1. Multiple protrusions 5 are snapped onto the top of the horizontal bars 4. Sliding grooves 6 are symmetrically opened at both ends of the protrusions 5. Different sized battery modules can be installed simultaneously on the same layer of horizontal bars 4. A single battery rack can simultaneously accommodate the installation needs of multiple specifications of battery modules, eliminating the need to store multiple specifications of brackets, simplifying warehouse management, avoiding space waste caused by differences in battery size, and improving space utilization. When expanding the battery system or replacing different battery models, there is no need to modify the main body of the bracket, reducing upgrade and modification costs and construction time. A slider 8 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 6. A support block 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 8. A slot 9 is opened at the bottom of the protrusions 5. A bolt 10 is opened on the slot 9. The bolt 10 is threadedly connected to a threaded hole 11, which is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the slider 8.
[0023] In practice, the load-bearing frame 1 is first fixedly installed in the designated position inside the energy storage compartment. The protrusions 5 are snapped onto the top of the crossbar 4 according to the arrangement requirements of the battery modules. The position of the slider 8 in the corresponding groove 6 of the protrusion 5 is adjusted according to the specific size of the battery module so that the support block 7 abuts against the battery module and provides support for the support block 7. The bolt 10 is passed through the groove 9 at the bottom of the protrusion 5 and screwed into the threaded hole 11 at the bottom of the slider 8 to fix and lock the slider 8. There is no need to replace the main structure of the battery rack. Only the arrangement of the protrusions 5 and the position of the slider 8 need to be adjusted to adapt to battery modules of different specifications, thereby improving the applicability of the battery rack and reducing costs.
[0024] See Figure 2 As shown, the support block 7 is triangular in shape. Two sets of support blocks 7 and sliders 8 are set at the front and rear ends of the top of the convex strip 5 to fix the battery module. The opposite sides of the support block 7 are provided with anti-slip textures 12, which increase the friction to achieve an anti-slip effect on the battery module.
[0025] See Figure 1The top four corners of the load-bearing frame 1 are fixedly connected with lifting lugs 2, which are welded to the top of the load-bearing frame 1. The lifting holes of the lifting lugs 2 are perpendicular to the upper surface of the load-bearing frame 1. During transportation and installation of the battery rack, they can be used to connect lifting equipment for lifting operations, which is beneficial to the stability and balance of the load-bearing frame 1 during the lifting process and avoids damage to the load-bearing frame 1 and the internal battery modules. At the same time, the lifting lugs 2, made of carbon structural steel, can withstand a large tensile force, meeting the load-bearing requirements of the load-bearing frame 1 during lifting. The bottom of the load-bearing frame 1 is fixedly installed with self-locking casters 3, which can be directly pushed by the staff to the designated position without the need for additional handling equipment. After the load-bearing frame 1 is moved into place, the self-locking casters 3 can be fixed by operating the self-locking function to prevent the battery rack from shifting due to external forces during use.
[0026] See Figure 4 The width of slider 8 is less than the distance between adjacent grooves 6, allowing air to flow up and down between two adjacent protrusions 5, accelerating air convection and promptly removing the heat generated during battery operation, thus preventing heat accumulation around the battery and affecting its performance and lifespan. The sliding stroke of slider 8 in groove 6 is not less than one-third of the length of protrusion 5, ensuring that support block 7 has sufficient displacement space to accommodate battery modules of different sizes.
[0027] Working principle:
[0028] First, move the support frame 1 to the designated position in the energy storage compartment using the bottom self-locking casters 3 and lock it in place. Then, snap the ribs 5 onto the top of the crossbar 4 according to the battery module arrangement requirements. Adjust the position of the slider 8 within the groove 6 of the rib 5 according to the specific dimensions of the battery modules, ensuring that the anti-slip texture 12 of the support block 7 is in close contact with the surface of the battery modules. Use bolts 10 to screw into the threaded holes 11 at the bottom of the slider 8 through the slots 9 to fix the slider 8, completing the positioning and fixing of the battery modules. Finally, place battery modules of different sizes on the adjusted support blocks 7. Utilize the symmetrical arrangement of the triangular support blocks 7 to simultaneously install battery modules of different specifications on the same layer of crossbar 4. The sliding stroke of the slider 8 within the groove 6 adapts to changes in battery module size, completing the assembly of the entire battery rack and the installation of the battery modules.
