Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery energy storage, in particular to an energy storage container. Background Art

[0002] The installation and transportation of large-scale energy storage systems have relatively special requirements for space and usage sites. Within the limited space, energy storage batteries need to be placed as much as possible to improve space utilization. During the use of current energy storage containers, battery packs are often squared on the bracket to achieve space utilization of energy storage batteries.

[0003] A Chinese patent application (application number: 202210011435.0) discloses an energy storage container. This solves the problem of storing energy storage battery boxes, wiring the batteries, and dissipating heat within the container by installing a mounting rack. More importantly, the battery rack is welded to the container, integrating the battery rack and the container. This increases the overall strength of the container, reduces the space occupied by the battery rack, and allows for more battery storage. However, the technical solution disclosed in the public document is achieved through welded battery racks. While this allows the battery rack and container to be integrated, the installation flexibility of the battery pack inside the container is limited, and it is difficult to achieve both a square and suspended configuration.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned problems, an energy storage box that is convenient for fixing and installing a battery pack is now proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an energy storage container that is easy to use and can fully utilize the space of the energy storage box for placing battery packs, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An energy storage container includes a box body, and heat dissipation components connected by two connecting pipes are fixedly installed on both sides of the inside of the box body. The interior of the connecting pipe is hollow and placed horizontally inside the box body. The connecting pipes are evenly distributed along the length of the box body. A support mechanism is provided inside the box body, and the support mechanism includes two groups of left-right symmetrically distributed brackets rotatably connected to the connecting pipes. Each group of the brackets is composed of two upper and lower symmetrically distributed support arms, and the support arms are all rotatably connected to the connecting pipes through a rotating shaft. The upper support arms are combined to form a support platform, and the lower support arms are separated from each other to form a suspended platform.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: wherein, a stabilizing mechanism is provided on the opposite surfaces of each group of the brackets, and the stabilizing mechanism includes docking grooves respectively opened on each group of the brackets and staggeredly distributed, and the opposite surfaces and back surfaces of the docking grooves are coated with an anti-slip layer.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: wherein, an adjustment mechanism is provided inside the support mechanism, the adjustment mechanism includes a vertical plate connected to the through-connecting tube, and a push rod is fixedly installed below the vertical plate, and the push rod moves below the vertical plate under the action of external force.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: wherein, a connecting rod is fixedly installed below the pushing rod, the connecting rod is in an L-shape, and the protruding portion of the connecting rod is in contact with the support arm rod located outside the formed support platform.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: wherein, the adjustment mechanism also includes a support rod hinged at a lower position of the center line of the vertical plate, the support rod extends downward to the interior of the bracket, and the bracket is provided with a positioning groove that is slidably connected to the support rod.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: wherein, the support rod is rotatably connected to a rolling ball on the end face inside the positioning groove, and a limiting groove matching the size of the rolling ball is opened on the side close to the support rod inside the positioning groove. After the connecting rod is pushed downward by the push rod, the lower support arm rod will be separated to form a hanging platform. By coordinating the movement of the hinged support rod and the rolling ball in the positioning groove during the movement, the angle of the bracket can be fixed. After hanging a battery pack with a certain weight, the lower support arm rod moves downward under the influence of gravity, and the rolling ball will enter the limiting groove.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: wherein, the support platform and the suspended platform are both provided with air vents designed to be connected to the hollow connecting pipe. When the cold air flow generated by the heat dissipation component passes through the hollow connecting pipe and enters the position of the support mechanism, a first air duct is formed in the support mechanism.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. In the energy storage container of this embodiment, when the push rod is pushed downward under the vertical plate by external force, the outer support arms are first pushed to move under the action of the connecting rod, and each group of lower support arms is separated in sequence. As a result, the bracket is rotated to both sides under the action of the rotating shaft and fixed at a certain angle to form a hanging platform. At this time, the battery pack can be suspended on the hanging platform, achieving the effect of placing the battery pack both horizontally and suspended.

[0016] 2. The energy storage container in this embodiment stabilizes the angle of the bracket during movement by coordinating the movement of the hinged support rod and the rolling ball in the positioning slot. When a heavy battery pack is attached, the lower arm moves downward under the influence of gravity, and the rolling ball enters the positioning slot, thus forming a stable suspended platform. Although the lower arm cannot hold the battery pack horizontally, its retractable structure saves space in the energy storage container and improves its space utilization.

[0017] 3. The energy storage container in this embodiment improves the heat exchange efficiency by installing the heat dissipation component, the hanging platform, and the support platform, which can better dissipate heat from the energy storage container. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 8 An energy storage container 100 adopts a box-type structural design in the prior art, including a box body 10. Heat dissipation assemblies 12 connected by two connecting pipes 11 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the box body 10. The connecting pipes 11 are hollow and placed horizontally within the box body 10. The connecting pipes 11 are evenly distributed along the length of the box body 10. A support mechanism 20 is provided within the box body 10. In this embodiment, by fixing the battery pack group on the support mechanism 20, the low-temperature airflow in the heat dissipation assembly 12 can be transmitted to the battery pack group on the support mechanism 20 through the hollow design of the connecting pipes 11, thereby achieving a heat dissipation effect on the battery pack group.

[0029] The heat dissipation assembly 12 is composed of a normal heat dissipation system in the energy storage container 100 in the prior art, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described again.

[0030] The support mechanism 20 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged brackets 21 rotatably connected to the connecting tube 11. Each set of brackets 21 consists of two symmetrically arranged vertically distributed support arms, each rotatably connected to the connecting tube 11 via a rotation axis 22. Stabilizing mechanisms 30 are provided on opposing surfaces of each set of brackets 21. These stabilizing mechanisms 30 include staggered docking grooves 31 defined in each set of brackets 21. Both opposing and opposite surfaces of the docking grooves 31 are coated with an anti-slip layer. In this embodiment, when the upper support arms are rotated and adjusted to the same horizontal plane, the docking grooves 31 defined in the stabilizing mechanisms 30 stabilize the docking of each set of support arms, forming a stable support platform between the upper support arms. The battery pack can then be placed on the support platform, achieving a horizontal placement effect. The anti-slip layer prevents the battery pack from slipping out.

[0031] An adjustment mechanism 40 is provided inside the support mechanism 20, and the adjustment mechanism 40 includes a vertical plate 41 that passes through the connecting pipe 11, and the vertical plate 41 includes a support portion 41a that contacts the upper support arm rod and a connecting portion 41b that contacts the lower support arm, and a push rod 42 is fixedly installed below the vertical plate 41, and the push rod 42 moves below the vertical plate 41 under the action of external force, and a connecting rod 43 is fixedly installed below the push rod 42, and the connecting rod 43 is L-shaped, and the protruding part of the connecting rod 43 contacts the support arm rod located outside the formed support platform. In this embodiment, when the push rod 42 is pushed downward under the vertical plate 41 by external force, the outer support arm rods will be pushed to move first under the action of the connecting rod 43, and each group of lower support arm rods will be separated in sequence, so that the bracket 21 will rotate to both sides under the action of the rotating shaft 22, and be fixed at a certain angle to form a hanging platform. At this time, the battery pack group can be suspended through the hanging platform, achieving the effect of placing the battery pack group horizontally or hanging it.

[0032] The adjustment mechanism 40 also includes a support rod 44 hingedly connected to the lower centerline of the vertical plate 41. The support rod 44 extends downward into the interior of the bracket 21. The bracket 21 is provided with a positioning slot 50 that is slidably connected to the support rod 44. A rolling ball 45 is rotatably connected to the end surface of the support rod 44 located within the positioning slot 50. The positioning slot 50 is provided with a stopper slot 51 on the side near the support rod 44 that matches the size of the rolling ball 45. In this embodiment, when the connecting rod 43 is pushed downward by the push rod 42, the lower support arm is separated to form a suspended platform. During this movement, the hinged support rod 44 and the rolling ball 45 move in the positioning slot 50 to stabilize the angle of the bracket 21. When a heavy battery pack is hung, the lower support arm moves downward due to gravity, and the rolling ball 45 enters the stopper slot 51, thereby forming a stable suspended platform.

[0033] Moreover, after the above-mentioned suspended platform is formed, the connecting rod 43 can be controlled to move upward by reversely operating the push rod 42, so that the lower support arm rods can be recombined to form a supporting platform. Although the lower support arm rods cannot place the battery pack group horizontally, since the lower support arm rods can be retracted, the space of the energy storage container can be saved and its space utilization rate can be improved.

[0034] The support platform and the suspended platform are both provided with an air vent 60 designed to be connected to the hollow connecting tube 11. When the cold air flow generated by the heat dissipation component 12 enters the position of the support mechanism 20 through the hollow connecting tube 11, a first air duct is formed in the support mechanism 20. At this time, the cooling air flow will diffuse from the inside to the outside inside the support mechanism 20 under the action of the power of the heat dissipation component 12. After the cold air flow passes through the first air duct, the battery pack will be cooled down. The hot air flow generated by the battery pack will move from bottom to top under the influence of air buoyancy. The hot air flow generated by the battery pack on the support platform will When the hot air moves upward, the cold air also flows upward through the first air duct. When the hot air and the cold air flow flow in the same direction, a first air flow with a faster flow speed is formed, which accelerates the heat loss on the support platform. In addition, the pressure of the first air flow is reduced because of its faster flow speed. On the suspended platform, because the hot air moves upward, when it forms convection with the cold air flow, heat exchange occurs during the convection process. Due to the existence of the first air flow above, a low-pressure area is formed, which causes the higher-pressure hot air flow to flow quickly into the low-pressure area, accelerating the heat exchange efficiency and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0035] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
