Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular to an air supply component and an energy storage container. Background Technology

[0002] An air supply unit is a device that directs airflow. It can be connected to an air conditioner to cool the batteries inside an energy storage container.

[0003] The air supply unit in an energy storage container typically consists of a main body with an air chamber for airflow. The main body has an air inlet and multiple air outlets. The air inlet connects to the air outlet of an air conditioner, and each air outlet is located directly above the corresponding battery cluster inside the energy storage container. Air blown from the air conditioner enters the air chamber from bottom to top and diffuses towards both ends of the air chamber. When it reaches the air outlet, the air is blown from the outlet towards the battery cluster.

[0004] However, due to the Bernoulli phenomenon, the airflow from each outlet is uneven. Outlets closer to the inlet have higher flow velocities and lower airflow, while outlets farther from the inlet have lower flow velocities and higher airflow. This uneven airflow can lead to significant temperature differences between the individual battery clusters, resulting in large temperature variations within the energy storage container and failing to meet the container's requirement for uniform battery temperature.

[0059] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] An air supply unit is a device that directs airflow. It can be connected to an air conditioner to cool the batteries inside an energy storage container.

[0061] The air supply unit in an energy storage container typically consists of a main body with an air chamber for airflow. The main body has an air inlet and multiple air outlets. The air inlet connects to the air outlet of an air conditioner, and each air outlet is located directly above the corresponding battery cluster inside the energy storage container. Air blown from the air conditioner enters the air chamber from bottom to top and diffuses towards both ends of the air chamber. When it reaches the air outlet, the air is blown from the outlet towards the battery cluster.

[0062] However, due to the Bernoulli phenomenon, the airflow from each outlet is uneven. Outlets closer to the inlet have higher flow velocities and lower airflow, while outlets farther from the inlet have lower flow velocities and higher airflow. This uneven airflow can lead to significant temperature differences between the individual battery clusters, resulting in large temperature variations within the energy storage container and failing to meet the container's requirement for uniform battery temperature.

[0063] To address the issue of large temperature differences in the batteries within existing energy storage containers, which fails to meet the requirements for battery temperature uniformity, this invention provides an air supply component. This component incorporates an arc-shaped air guide plate, which adjusts the airflow speed through its guiding effect. This results in more uniform airflow from each outlet, reducing the temperature difference in the environment surrounding the battery clusters below each outlet. Consequently, the temperature difference within the energy storage container's batteries decreases, satisfying the energy storage container's requirements for battery temperature uniformity.

[0064] Furthermore, in related technologies, the air chamber of the air supply component is also equipped with a guide plate, which is used to regulate the air volume of the air outlet to make the air volume of each air outlet approximately equal, resulting in a smaller temperature difference inside the energy storage container. However, when the guide plate controls the air volume, it also guides the airflow direction, resulting in a large angle between the direction of the air blown from the air outlet and the vertical direction, and the different directions of the air blown from each air outlet, which leads to a larger temperature difference in the environment of each battery cluster. The large temperature difference of the batteries in the energy storage container cannot meet the requirements of the energy storage container for battery temperature uniformity.

[0065] In related technologies, louvers can be used at the air outlet of the air supply component to adjust the air volume of the outlet, so that the air volume of each outlet is roughly equal and the temperature difference inside the energy storage container is small. However, when the louvers control the air volume, they also guide the airflow direction, resulting in a large angle between the direction of the air blown from the outlet and the vertical direction. Moreover, the air blown from each outlet has a different direction, which leads to a larger temperature difference in the environment of each battery cluster. The temperature difference of the batteries in the energy storage container is large, which cannot meet the requirements of the energy storage container for battery temperature uniformity.

[0066] To address the issue that adjusting the airflow at the outlets, where guide vanes or louvers direct the airflow, resulting in a large angle between the airflow and the vertical direction, and causing different airflow directions from each outlet, leads to greater temperature differences among the battery clusters and consequently, larger temperature variations within the energy storage container's batteries, thus failing to meet the container's requirements for battery temperature uniformity, the air supply component provided in this embodiment further adjusts the airflow at the outlets using a movable baffle. This baffle is equipped with baffle ribs that can block at least a portion of the outlet. By moving the baffle, the area of ​​the outlet blocked by the baffle ribs can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the airflow at the outlets. Furthermore, when adjusting the airflow, the baffle ribs move horizontally relative to the base plate, avoiding airflow direction diversion. This not only reduces the battery temperature but also minimizes the temperature difference within the batteries, ensuring that the battery temperature uniformity meets the energy storage container's requirements.

[0067] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the following description is only illustrative and is not a specific limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0068] like Figure 1 As shown, the air supply component provided in this embodiment includes a body 10, which includes a base plate 11 and sidewalls extending upward from the base plate 11. The sidewalls and the base plate 11 define an air cavity for air supply flow. Exemplarily, the sidewalls include a front plate and a back plate disposed opposite to each other, and two end plates 12 disposed opposite to each other. The base plate 11 is connected to the front plate, the back plate, and the two end plates 12. The tops of the front plate, the back plate, and the two end plates 12 are used to fix to the top wall of the energy storage container, so that the top wall of the energy storage container and the front plate, the base plate 11, the back plate, and the two end plates 12 of the air supply component together define the air cavity for air supply flow.

[0069] In some possible implementations, the body 10 may further include a top plate, a bottom plate, and a side wall located between the top plate and the bottom plate. The side wall may include a front plate and a back plate disposed opposite to each other, and two end plates 12 disposed opposite to each other. The top plate and the bottom plate 11 are simultaneously connected to the front plate, the back plate, and the two end plates 12. The top plate, the front plate, the bottom plate 11, the back plate, and the two end plates 12 together define an air cavity for airflow.

[0070] Continue to refer to Figure 1 For example, at least a portion of the front panel is designed as an arc-shaped air guide 13, which protrudes outward from the air cavity to... Figure 1 Taking the perspective of the paper as an example, the arc-shaped air guide plate 13 protrudes outward from the paper surface. In specific design, the inner wall surface of the arc-shaped air guide plate 13 can be designed as a circular arc surface, for example.

[0071] Figure 2 The effect of the arc-shaped air guide plate 13 on the airflow within the air cavity is shown. For example... Figure 2 As shown, since at least a portion of the sidewall is configured as an arc-shaped air guide plate 13, the airflow in the air cavity is more uniform at each air outlet 16 under the guidance of the arc-shaped air guide plate 13. Furthermore, from... Figure 2 It can be clearly seen that the angle between the direction of the air blown out from the air outlet 16 and the vertical direction is small. As a result, the temperature difference of the environment of the battery clusters below each air outlet 61 is reduced, the temperature difference of the batteries in the energy storage container is reduced, and the requirements of the energy storage container for battery temperature uniformity are met.

[0072] See also Figure 1For example, an air inlet is also provided on the front panel for communication with the air conditioner 30. For instance, in an energy storage container, the air inlet on the front panel is connected to the air outlet of a vertical air conditioner. In this embodiment, the connection method between the air inlet and the air conditioner is not specifically limited, nor is the shape of the air inlet. The connection method and shape of the air inlet can be specifically limited according to the working environment and the air conditioner 30 used with it. For example, in one possible implementation, the air inlet on the front panel is square, and the air inlet on the front panel is connected to the air outlet of the vertical air conditioner 30 through a flexible pipe 40.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a connector is provided on the outer side of the front panel. The connector optionally includes an air inlet plate, a connecting plate 14, and two opposing sealing plates 15. The air inlet plate and the connecting plate 14 are connected, and both the air inlet plate and the connecting plate 14 are connected to the two sealing plates 15. The air inlet plate, the connecting plate 14, and the two sealing plates 15 are all connected to the side wall. The air inlet plate, the connecting plate 14, and the two sealing plates 15 enclose a cavity that communicates with the air cavity. The air inlet of the front panel is located on this air inlet plate. The air conditioner 30 is a vertical air conditioner. The air outlet of the vertical air conditioner is located at the top and is equipped with a flange. The flange is connected to the first end of a flexible pipe 40, so that the flexible pipe 40 communicates with the air outlet of the vertical air conditioner. The second end of the flexible pipe 40 communicates with the air inlet of the front panel. Thus, the air conditioner 30 supplies air to the air cavity. The flexible pipe 40 reduces the requirements for the relative position of the air conditioner 30 and the air supply component.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, the base plate 11 is provided with multiple air outlets 16. The shape of the air outlets 16 is not specifically limited; they can be rectangular, circular, triangular, etc. The position of the air outlets 16 can be determined according to the usage environment. For example, in an energy storage container, each air outlet 16 may be located directly above each battery cluster to improve the cooling effect on the batteries. The multiple air outlets 16 can be arranged in an array, for example. For instance, multiple air outlets 16 arranged in an array are arranged in multiple groups on the base plate 11. Figure 1 The diagram shows three air outlet groups arranged side by side along the left and right directions on the base plate 11. Each air outlet group includes multiple air outlets arranged in a matrix.

[0075] In the air supply component provided in this embodiment, the side wall and the bottom plate 11 define an air cavity for airflow. An air inlet communicating with the air conditioner 30 is provided on the side wall, and an air outlet 16 is provided on the bottom plate 11. The air blown out from the air conditioner 30 enters the air cavity through the air inlet and flows within the air cavity. When the air flows to the position of the air outlet 16, the air is blown out from the air outlet 16. By designing at least a portion of the side wall as an arc-shaped air guide plate 13, which protrudes outward from the air cavity, the air can be guided by the arc-shaped air guide plate 13, adjusting the air velocity within the air cavity. This makes the airflow from each air outlet 16 more uniform, reduces the temperature difference of the environment of the battery clusters below each air outlet 16, and reduces the temperature difference of the batteries in the energy storage container, thus meeting the requirements of the energy storage container for battery temperature uniformity.

[0076] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some possible embodiments, a plurality of air outlets 16 are arranged side by side along a first direction, which may be, for example, the length direction of the base plate 11. The air supply component also includes a baffle plate 20, which is provided with baffle ribs 21 extending along a second direction. The first and second directions form an angle, and the second direction may be, for example, the width direction of the base plate 11. The baffle ribs 21 cover the plurality of air outlets 16 arranged side by side along the first direction. The baffle plate 20 is movable relative to the body 10 to adjust the air volume of the air outlets 16.

[0077] In some possible implementations, the movement of the baffle 20 relative to the body 10 can be, for example, rolling. For example, the baffle 20 is located outside the air cavity, and a roller is provided on the baffle 20. The central axis of the roller is arranged along a second direction, and the roller rolls in a first direction. A slide rail is provided on the bottom surface of the base plate 11. The direction of the slide rail is arranged along the first direction, and the roller is located inside the slide rail and can roll inside the slide rail.

[0078] In some other possible implementations, the movement of the wind deflector 20 relative to the body 10 can be, for example, sliding. For example, the wind deflector 20 is located inside the air cavity, and a slide rail is provided on the wind deflector 20. The direction of the slide rail is set along a first direction, and a long slider is provided on the inner side wall of the base plate 11. The long slider is located in the slide rail, and the slide rail can slide relative to the long slider.

[0079] It should be noted that in some examples, the air supply component also includes an operating part, which is fastened to the baffle 20. The operating part is used to drive the baffle 20 to move relative to the body 10 to adjust the air volume of the air outlet 16. The operating part is used to facilitate operation by the operator. For example, the baffle 20 is located inside the air cavity. The operating part may include, for example, a connecting rod and an operating handle connected to the first end of the connecting rod. The operating handle is located outside the air cavity, and the second end of the connecting rod passes through the clearance hole 17 on the arc-shaped air guide plate 13 and is fastened to the baffle 20.

[0080] The baffle plate 20 can be set inside the air cavity. A part of the operating part passes through the avoidance hole 17 provided on the arc-shaped air guide plate 13 and is fastened to the baffle plate 20. The other part of the operating part is located outside the air cavity. The operating part passes through the avoidance hole 17 and is fastened to the baffle plate 20. This allows the operator to drive the baffle plate 20 to move relative to the body 10 from outside the air cavity, which makes the operation more convenient.

[0081] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the wind deflector 20 is located inside the air cavity. Two support plates 22 are provided on the top surface of the wind deflector 20, located at both ends of the wind deflector rib 21. The bottom surface of the wind deflector 20 is supported on the base plate 11. The operating part includes a linkage rod 23, a linkage plate 24, and an L-shaped plate 25. The first and second ends of the linkage rod 23 are respectively fastened to the two support plates 22. The second end of the linkage rod 23 is also fastened to the linkage plate 24. The linkage plate 24 is located outside the two support plates 22. The linkage plate 24 is fastened to the first end of the L-shaped plate 25. The second end of the L-shaped plate 25 passes through the clearance hole 17 provided on the base plate 11 and is located outside the air cavity.

[0082] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some possible implementations, a mounting plate 18 is provided on the inner surface of the base plate 11, and a groove 19 is provided on the mounting plate 18. A portion of the operating part passes through the groove 19 and is securely connected to the wind deflector 20. The portion of the operating part can be, for example, a linkage rod 23. The extension direction of the groove 19 is arranged along a second direction, and the length direction of the groove 19 is along a first direction. The two opposing groove walls of the groove 19 define the limit positions of the movement of the wind deflector 20 relative to the body 10. Exemplarily, in addition to having a groove opening, the top of the groove 19 also has a groove top opposite to the groove bottom of the groove 19. The groove opening is used for the operating part to be installed into the groove 19, and the groove top is used to limit the operation part so that the operating part is reliably assembled with the groove 19.

[0083] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, at least two opposing mounting plates 18 are provided on the inner surface of the base plate 11. The two opposing mounting plates 18 and the base plate 11 together define a sliding groove 101. The sliding groove 101 extends along a first direction. The baffle plate 20 is located within the sliding groove 101 and can slide within it. By using the mounting plates 18 to define the sliding groove 101 for the baffle plate 20, the structure can be simplified and materials can be saved. For example, each area of ​​the air outlet group is provided with a sliding groove 101 to adjust the airflow of each air outlet group. For example, each of the two opposing mounting plates 18 is provided with a sliding groove 19 so that the operating part can be reliably installed within the sliding groove 19.

[0084] like Figure 5 As shown, exemplarily, the air supply component also includes a locking assembly capable of locking and unlocking the operating part to the base plate 11. When the locking assembly unlocks the base plate 11 from the operating part, the operating part can drive the baffle 20 to move relative to the body 10 to adjust the airflow of the air outlet 16. When the locking assembly locks the base plate 11 from the operating part, the baffle 20 and the body 10 are relatively fixed.

[0085] In one possible implementation, a mating plate is provided on the bottom surface of the base plate 11, and an elongated hole is provided on the mating plate. The length direction of the elongated hole is set along a first direction. A screw is provided on the operating part, and the screw is also inserted into the elongated hole. A nut is fitted on the screw, and the nut abuts against the side of the mating plate away from the operating part. When the operator operates the operating part to move relative to the body 10, the operating part moves along the first direction, and the screw on the operating part slides in the elongated hole. When the operating part stops moving relative to the body 10, the wind deflector 20 and the body 10 can be fixed relative to each other by turning the nut.

[0086] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in another possible embodiment, a fastening plate 102 is provided on the bottom surface of the base plate 11. The fastening plate 102 is located outside the air cavity, and a plurality of fastening holes 103 are provided on the fastening plate 102, which are arranged along a first direction. A rod 26 is mounted on the operating part. Specifically, for example, the operating part is provided with mounting holes, and the rod 26 is inserted into the mounting holes. When the rod 26 is inserted into one of the fastening holes 103, the hole wall of the fastening hole 103 restricts the movement of the rod 26 along the first direction and a third direction, which is simultaneously perpendicular to the first and second directions. Since the rod 26 is mounted on the operating part, and the fastening holes 103 are provided on the fastening plate 102 that is fastened to the base plate 11, the movement of the operating part relative to the base plate 11 along the first direction and the third direction is fixed. Furthermore, since the operating part is connected to the wind deflector 20, the movement of the wind deflector 20 in the second direction is limited by the mounting plate 18, and the movement of the operating part, which is fastened to the wind deflector 20, in the second direction is also limited. Thus, the base plate 11 and the operating part are locked.

[0087] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 9 As shown, the rod 26 is provided with a first abutment 27 and a second abutment 28. The first abutment 27 is located on the side of the operating part away from the fastening plate 102, and the second abutment 28 is located between the fastening plate 102 and the operating part. The locking assembly also includes an elastic member 29 sleeved on the rod 26, with both ends of the elastic member 29 abutting against the second abutment 28 and the operating part, respectively.

[0088] When it is necessary to adjust the air volume of the air outlet 16, the operator only needs to apply a force to the rod 26 from the second abutment 28 toward the first abutment 27. The second abutment 28 and the operating part compress the elastic member 29, and the rod 26 moves toward the first abutment 27. The rod 26 then disengages from the fastening hole 103 and can move along the first direction. The operating part connected to the rod 26 can then move along the first direction, and the baffle plate 20 connected to the operating part can move relative to the body 10 along the first direction. In this way, the air volume of the air outlet 16 can be adjusted.

[0089] After adjusting the airflow of the air outlet 16, the force applied to the rod 26 is removed. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 29, the rod 26 moves towards the second abutment 28 and is reinserted into the fastening hole 103, thus relocking the base plate 11 and the operating part.

[0090] For example, the elastic element 29 may be a spring, and the first abutment portion 27 and the second abutment portion 28 may be abutment blocks. During installation, the first abutment portion 27 may be fastened to the rod 26 first, and then the rod 26 may be installed in the mounting hole of the operating part from the side of the operating part away from the fastener. Then, the elastic element 29 may be installed on the rod 26, and the second abutment portion 28 may be fastened to the rod 26. The fastening method of the second abutment portion 28 to the rod 26 and the connection method of the first abutment portion 27 to the rod 26 may be at least one of welding, bonding, or snap-fit.

[0091] like Figure 9 As shown, as an improvement to the air supply component in this embodiment of the invention, the second abutment 28 is a nut threadedly connected to the rod 26, making the connection between the second abutment 28 and the rod 26 simple and reliable. For example, the rod 26 and the first abutment 27 are integrally wing-shaped screws; the wing-shaped screws and nuts can be directly purchased, making them convenient and inexpensive.

[0092] In this embodiment, the air supply component uses an arc-shaped air guide plate 13 to adjust the air velocity within the air cavity, making the airflow from each air outlet 16 more uniform. Combined with the baffle plate 20, which adjusts the airflow from each air outlet 16, the airflow from each outlet 16 achieves the desired effect. This reduces the temperature difference between the environments of the battery clusters and the batteries within the energy storage container, meeting the energy storage container's requirements for battery temperature uniformity. The baffle plate 20 also prevents debris from entering the air cavity of the air supply component when it is not in use.

[0093] This embodiment also provides an energy storage container, which includes the air supply component, container body, and air conditioner 30 described in the above embodiments. Both the air conditioner 30 and the air supply component are located inside the container, and the air inlet of the air supply component is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner 30. The energy storage container also includes batteries, which comprise multiple battery clusters, with each air outlet 16 located directly above its respective battery cluster. For example, the air conditioner 30 has a flange at its air outlet, which is connected to the first end of a flexible pipe 40. The second end of the flexible pipe 40 is connected to the air inlet of the air supply component. The flexible pipe 40 reduces the accuracy requirements for the assembly position of the air supply component and the air conditioner 30, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0094] In this embodiment, the energy storage container uses the air supply component described in the above-described embodiment, which makes the air volume of each air outlet 16 more uniform, reduces the temperature difference of the environment in which each battery cluster is located, reduces the temperature difference of the batteries in the energy storage container, and the temperature difference of the batteries meets the requirements of the energy storage container for battery temperature uniformity.
