[0032] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Through these descriptions, the features and advantages of the present application will become clearer and more apparent.

[0033] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments. Although various aspects of embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0034] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a socket placement rack 100 for use on an energy storage rack 200. The socket placement rack 100 includes a first beam 10. Specifically, the socket placement rack 100 includes a first beam 10, two second beams 20, and a third beam 30. The first beam 10, the two second beams 20, and the third beam 30 enclose a rectangular frame structure. The third beam 30 and the first beam 10 are arranged opposite each other, and the two second beams 20 are arranged opposite each other. Preferably, the two second beams 20 have the same structure.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first beam 10 is formed by bending sheet metal. The first beam 10 includes a limiting plate 11, a support plate 12, and a reinforcing plate 13. That is, the limiting plate 11, the support plate 12, and the reinforcing plate 13 are an integral structure formed by bending sheet metal. The limiting plate 11 and the reinforcing plate 13 are respectively connected to both sides of the support plate 12, with the limiting plate 11 located above the support plate 12 and the reinforcing plate 13 located below the support plate 12. Specifically, the support plate 12 is elongated and placed horizontally. The limiting plate 11 and the reinforcing plate 13 are respectively connected to both sides of the support plate 12 along its length. The lower end of the limiting plate 11 is connected to the support plate 12, and the upper end of the reinforcing plate 13 is connected to the support plate 12. Preferably, the limiting plate 11 and the reinforcing plate 13 are connected to each other. The plates 13 are arranged parallel to each other, with the reinforcing plate 13 located on the front side of the support plate 12 and the limiting plate 11 located on the rear side of the support plate 12. The support plate 12 is configured to support the battery box, and the limiting plate 11 is configured to abut against the battery box along the insertion direction of the battery box. That is, the limiting plate 11 is located at the tail end of the insertion direction of the battery box to limit the insertion position of the battery box. Specifically, during use, the battery box is placed on the battery box placement rack 100 and limited by the limiting plate 11 to prevent the battery box from being suspended, that is, to prevent the battery box from being over-inserted. At the same time, the reinforcing plate 13 strengthens the support strength of the support plate 12, thereby ensuring that the battery box is stably placed on the battery box placement rack 100.

[0038] The battery compartment placement rack 100 of the present invention, by providing a reinforcing plate 13, can improve the supporting strength of the support plate 12, thereby ensuring that the battery compartment is stably placed on the battery compartment placement rack 100; by providing a limiting plate 11, the battery compartment can be accurately installed in place, and the situation of the battery compartment being suspended during the placement process is avoided, further ensuring that the battery compartment is stably placed on the battery compartment placement rack 100.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a connector is connected to the surface of the limiting plate 11 facing the battery compartment. Specifically, the connector is located directly above the support plate 12 and is configured to engage with the battery compartment. Specifically, the connector is a pin 40. The rear side of the battery compartment has a socket that engages with the pin 40. By engaging the pin 40 with the socket, the battery compartment is positioned on the compartment placement rack 100. The specific number of pins 40 can be set according to actual usage requirements. One pin 40 can be set, or two, three or more pins 40 can be set. Preferably, two spaced pins 40 are connected to the limiting plate 11 to ensure the stability of the engagement with the battery compartment.

[0040] The pin 40 can be welded to the limiting plate 11, or it can be connected to the limiting plate 11 by bolts or rivets. Any prior art that allows the pin 40 to be connected to the limiting plate 11 should be included within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0041] Of course, the connector can also be a slot set on the limiting plate 11. The rear side of the battery box is provided with a pin that cooperates with the slot, so that the battery box can be positioned on the box placement rack 100 by the insertion and cooperation of the pin and the slot.

[0042] Furthermore, the distance D between the connector and the support plate 12 is less than the height of the battery box, so as to avoid the connector being set too high and unable to be plugged into the battery box, thereby ensuring that the battery box is stably positioned on the battery box placement rack 100.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the limiting plate 11 is provided with a first folded edge 111 that can abut against the battery box. Specifically, the first folded edge 111 is arranged parallel to the support plate 12 and is located above the pin 40. The first folded edge 111 can not only protect the pin 40, but also increase the strength of the limiting plate 11. It can also adjust the position of the battery box on the box placement rack 100. That is, by adjusting the size of the first folded edge 111, the position of the battery box on the box placement rack 100 can be adjusted. Along the extension direction of the connector (pin 40), the length of the first folded edge 111 is less than the length of the support plate 12, so that the first folded edge 111 will not affect the supporting effect of the first beam 10 on the battery box, nor will it affect the insertion and engagement between the pin 40 and the battery box.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the end of the first folded edge 111 connected to the limiting plate 11 is the connecting end, and the end of the first folded edge 111 opposite to the connecting end is the free end. The free end of the first folded edge 111 is provided with a flange 112 extending toward the support plate 12. The plug (pin 40) passes through the flange 112. Specifically, a through hole is provided on the flange 112 corresponding to the position of the pin 40. The pin 40 passes through the through hole. The flange 112 can increase the contact area between the first folded edge 111 and the battery box, thereby increasing the strength of the first folded edge 111 against the battery box. That is, the flange 112 can buffer the force generated when the battery box is inserted, and also strengthen the first folded edge 111, thereby ensuring the service life of the first folded edge 111. It can also position the pin 40 so that the pin 40 is placed stably, so that the pin 40 can be smoothly inserted and engaged with the battery box.

[0045] It should be noted that when the connector is a slot structure and the battery box is equipped with a pin, simply connect the slot to the corresponding through hole.

[0046] Furthermore, the distance d between the connector (pin 40) and the first folded edge 111 is less than or equal to 90% of the height of the battery compartment, and the distance d between the connector (pin 40) and the first folded edge 111 is greater than or equal to 2% of the height of the battery compartment. For example, the distance d between the connector (pin 40) and the first folded edge 111 is 1mm to 50mm. This structure can prevent the impact force from directly acting on the battery compartment during the insertion and engagement process due to the distance d between the connector (pin 40) and the first folded edge 111 being too small, thus damaging the battery compartment. It can also prevent the flange 112 from being easily broken by the impact force due to the distance d between the connector (pin 40) and the first folded edge 111 being too large, thus failing to provide cushioning performance.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flange 112 and the limiting plate 11 are arranged parallel to each other. This structure facilitates the positioning of the through hole and the insertion pin 40 to pass through the flange 112, while ensuring that the contact area between the flange 112 and the battery box is maximized.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there is a first gap 14 between the flange 112 and the support plate 12, that is, the projected area of ​​the flange 112 on the limiting plate 11 is smaller than the area of ​​the limiting plate 11. This structure can both strengthen the first folded edge 111 by using the flange 112, and will not increase the overall weight of the first beam 10.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting plate 11 has a second folded edge 113 at both ends. The first folded edge 111 and the flange 112 are connected to the second folded edge 113. That is, the first folded edge 111, the flange 112 and the two second folded edges 113 enclose a hollow structure with an open lower end, thereby further increasing the overall strength of the first beam 10.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there is a second gap 15 between the second folded edge 113 and the support plate 12. That is, the second folded edge 113 does not contact the support plate 12, and the second gap 15 can be inserted and matched with the second beam 20 to play a positioning role in the connection between the second beam 20 and the first beam 10, and increase the contact area between the second beam 20 and the first beam 10, thereby improving the connection strength between the second beam 20 and the first beam 10.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower end of the reinforcing plate 13 is provided with a third folded edge 131. The third folded edge 131 increases the strength of the reinforcing plate 13 and further improves the overall strength of the first beam 10. The third folded edge 131 can extend toward the limiting plate 11 or extend away from the limiting plate 11. In order to reduce the overall size of the first beam 10 for easy placement, preferably, the third folded edge 131 extends toward the limiting plate 11 and is arranged approximately parallel to the support plate 12.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides an energy storage rack 200, which includes the aforementioned insert box placement rack 100. Specifically, the energy storage rack 200 includes a frame 201, and the insert box placement shelf is installed inside the frame 201.

[0054] The energy storage rack of the present invention has the above-mentioned battery compartment placement rack, and therefore the energy storage rack has the advantage of being able to stably place large battery compartments.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the energy storage rack also includes a column 2011. Specifically, the frame 201 includes the column 2011, and the insert box placement rack 100 also includes a second beam 20. One end of the first beam 10 is connected to the second beam 20, and the second beam 20 is connected to the column 2011. That is, the insert box placement rack 100 is connected to the column 2011 through the second beam 20.

[0056] Furthermore, the column 2011 is connected from top to bottom with multiple spaced battery compartment racks 100. Specifically, the internal space of the frame 201 is divided into multiple accommodating cavities by the multiple battery compartment racks 100. Each accommodating cavity can hold a battery compartment, and each battery compartment is supported by a battery compartment rack 100.

[0057] Example 3

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also provides a battery cluster, which includes the above-mentioned energy storage rack 200 and at least one battery box 300. The battery box 300 is inserted into the energy storage rack 200, and the number of battery boxes 300 can be adjusted according to actual use needs and the capacity of the energy storage rack 200.

[0059] The battery cluster of the present invention has the above-described energy storage rack, and thus has the advantage of stable placement of large battery packs.

[0060] In summary, the battery compartment placement rack of the present invention, by setting a reinforcing plate, can improve the supporting strength of the support plate, thereby ensuring that the battery compartment is stably placed on the battery compartment placement rack; by setting a limiting plate, the battery compartment can be accurately installed in place, avoiding the battery compartment from being suspended in the air during placement, further ensuring that the battery compartment is stably placed on the battery compartment placement rack.

[0061] The battery compartment holder of the present invention, by setting a first folded edge and a flange on the first folded edge, increases the contact area between the first folded edge and the battery compartment, thereby increasing the strength of the first folded edge against the battery compartment and thus strengthening the first folded edge, thereby ensuring the service life of the first folded edge. The flange also uses the flange to position the pin, so that the pin is placed stably, thereby allowing the pin to be smoothly inserted and engaged with the battery compartment.

[0062] The insert box placement rack of the present invention increases the strength of the reinforcing plate by providing a third folded edge at the lower end of the reinforcing plate, thereby further improving the overall strength of the first beam;

[0063] The energy storage rack of the present invention has the above-mentioned battery pack placement rack, and therefore the energy storage rack has the advantage of being able to stably place large battery packs.

[0064] The battery cluster of the present invention has the above-described energy storage rack, and thus has the advantage of stable placement of large battery packs.
