Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage container technology, and in particular to an energy storage container with an adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] Patent document CN222601129U discloses a heat dissipation device for an energy storage container, including a container body and cooling components. The container body has an internal partition, with multiple mounting racks on both sides of the partition. Each mounting rack includes a support plate, and exhaust pipes are connected internally to the support plate. One end of each exhaust pipe passes through the partition and extends into an exhaust compartment, which is equipped with multiple air blowers. The partition also has multiple exhaust pipes, one end of which extends into an insulated compartment, and the end of each exhaust pipe is equipped with an exhaust fan. This invention ensures uniform heat dissipation for each battery module by blowing air through the energy storage device, preventing localized overheating or heat accumulation. It quickly transfers heat from the batteries to the external environment, improving the surface heat dissipation efficiency of the energy storage device. The exhaust ports then discharge the heat transferred from the external environment to the outside through the exhaust fans, reducing the internal temperature of the container body.

[0003] However, in the process of transferring cool air, the airflow is greater closer to the fan outlet, resulting in better cooling of the battery. Conversely, the airflow is smaller and the cooling effect is worse at the outlet further away. This leads to inconsistent battery temperatures in different areas. Furthermore, due to various reasons, the temperature of batteries in different areas is inconsistent, making it impossible to adjust the airflow to the battery according to the actual temperature, thus affecting battery life. Additionally, high humidity in the air also affects battery performance. Therefore, it is necessary to improve this structure to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figure 1-9 As shown, this utility model proposes an energy storage container with an adjustment device, including a container body 101 and a cooling cavity 102 disposed in the container body. It also includes an air-cooled cooling component, a liquid-cooled cooling component, a drying and impurity removal component, a gas conveying component, and an airflow adjustment component. The air-cooled cooling component is disposed in the container body, with its air outlet facing the inside of the container body, cooling the inside of the container body. The liquid-cooled cooling component is disposed on one side of the air-cooled cooling component, cooling the battery. A drying and impurity removal component is installed inside the housing to dry the air supplied to the housing. A gas delivery component is also installed inside the housing and is connected to both the air-cooled cooling component and the drying and impurity removal component to deliver cold air. A gas delivery component is also installed inside the housing and is connected to both the air-cooled cooling component and the drying component to deliver cold air. An airflow regulation component is connected to the gas delivery component and regulates the airflow in different areas.

[0052] In this embodiment, the air-cooled cooling component includes an air conditioning unit 110 and a cold air duct 120. The air conditioning unit is installed in a housing, with an air outlet on one side. One side of the cold air duct is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioning unit, and the other side of the cold air duct is installed in a cooling cavity.

[0053] In this embodiment, the liquid cooling component includes a water tank 210, a water pump 220, a first heat exchange pipe 230, a fixed bracket 240, and a second heat exchange pipe 250. The water tank is located on one side of the air conditioning unit and contains a storage space for coolant. The water pump is located on top of the water tank, and its inlet is connected to the water tank. One side of the first heat exchange pipe is connected to the outlet of the water pump, and the other side of the first heat exchange pipe is arranged in a winding manner within a cooling cavity. The fixed bracket is located within the housing and contains a water-cooled plate 241. A battery mounting space is provided on the fixed bracket. One side of the second heat exchange pipe is connected to the first heat exchange pipe, and the second heat exchange pipe is connected to the fixed bracket. The second heat exchange pipe is arranged in a winding manner within the water-cooled plate, and the other side of the second heat exchange pipe is connected to the water tank. The second heat exchange pipe provides heat exchange and cooling to the fixed bracket.

[0054] By routing the heat exchange pipe into the cooling chamber, the coolant in the heat exchange pipe can be cooled by the cold air generated by the air conditioning unit. There is no need to add a cold source to cool the coolant. This achieves cooling of the battery by air cooling and circulating liquid cooling using only the air conditioning unit.

[0055] In this embodiment, the drying and impurity removal assembly includes a drying chamber 310, a drying plate 320, and a filter plate 330. The drying chamber is disposed in a box body and has several guide plates 311 that divide the drying chamber. The drying plate is slidably disposed in the drying chamber and contains a desiccant to dry the moisture in the air. The filter plate is slidably disposed in the drying chamber to filter impurities in the air. By setting the guide plates, the flow space in the drying chamber is divided into a meandering flow space, which greatly increases the flow time of the cold air in the drying chamber.

[0056] In this embodiment, the gas delivery assembly includes a gas delivery pipe 410, a first gas delivery pipe 420, and a gas outlet pipe 430. One side of the gas delivery pipe is disposed in the cooling cavity of the housing, and the other side of the gas delivery pipe is connected to the drying chamber. One side of the first gas delivery pipe is connected to the drying chamber. The gas outlet pipe is disposed at intervals at the bottom of the first gas delivery pipe and is oriented towards the battery.

[0057] In this embodiment, the airflow regulating component includes a flow control plate 510, a control rod 520, a limiting rod 530, and a limiting spring 540. The flow control plate is slidably disposed in the air outlet pipe, and the flow rate of the air outlet pipe is controlled by the flow control plate. One side of the control rod is in contact with the flow control plate. The control rod is slidably disposed in the housing. The control rod is provided with a limiting hole 521 and a limiting block. The limiting rod is slidably disposed in the frame. The top of the limiting rod is provided with a limiting part 531. The limiting rod is slidably disposed in the limiting hole. The limiting spring is sleeved on the limiting rod. One side of the limiting spring abuts against the limiting rod, and the other side of the limiting spring abuts against the frame.

[0058] Example 2

[0059] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, a fireproof plate 610 is provided in the box to separate the batteries.

[0060] In this embodiment, the fireproof board is made of rock wool material. The fireproof board separates the batteries. After a single battery catches fire, the fireproof board can separate it, slowing down the spread of the fire and buying some time for fire extinguishing.

[0061] The working principle of this utility model:

[0062] During operation, the air conditioning unit generates cold air, which is then transported to the cooling chamber via cold air ducts. The air supply duct then delivers the cold air from the cooling chamber to the drying chamber. Once inside the drying chamber, the cold air flows in a circuitous path guided by partitions. During this flow, the drying and filtering plates repeatedly dry and filter the air. The dried cold air then enters the first air supply duct and is transported to the chamber via the outlet pipe, thus dissipating heat from the batteries inside. At this time, the water pump starts, drawing water from the water tank and delivering it to the first heat exchange duct. During this transport, the coolant is cooled by the cold air in the cooling chamber. The battery is cooled by air, and the coolant then exchanges heat with the fixed support through the second heat exchange pipe, thereby cooling the battery. The cooled coolant after heat exchange is delivered to the water tank. When the flow rate needs to be adjusted, the limiting part of the limiting rod is pulled to lift the limiting rod upward, so that it is no longer inserted into the limiting hole of the control rod. At the same time, by pulling the control rod, the control rod moves and drives the flow regulating plate to move, thereby controlling the obstruction range of the flow regulating plate on the gas outlet pipe, thus indirectly controlling the flow rate of the gas outlet pipe. After the adjustment is completed, the limiting rod is lowered, and the limiting rod is inserted into the control rod under the action of the limiting spring, thereby limiting the control rod.
