Each example is provided by way of explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Indeed, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations may be made in the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention. For example, a feature shown or described as part of one embodiment may be used in another embodiment to produce yet another embodiment. Therefore, it is intended that the present invention encompasses such modifications and variations as come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

For example, they can be fixed connections or detachable connections; they can be directly connected or indirectly connected through intermediate components; they can be wired electrical connections, radio connections, or wireless communication signal connections. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] One or more examples of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The detailed description uses numerical and letter designations to refer to features in the drawings. Like or similar designations in the drawings and the description have been used to refer to like or similar parts of the present invention. As used herein, the terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth," etc. are used interchangeably to distinguish one component from another and are not intended to indicate the position or importance of individual components.

[0027] like Figure 1-2As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a liquid cooling pipeline of an electric energy storage system is provided, the container battery includes several rows of battery clusters, the battery cluster includes multiple batteries arranged up and down, each battery has a coolant inlet and a coolant outlet, the liquid supply joint and the liquid return joint are configured corresponding to the battery, the coolant is supplied to the liquid cooling pipeline through a main pipeline, and the coolant is recovered through another main pipeline, including: the liquid infusion pipeline has a liquid inlet pipe and a liquid return pipe, the liquid inlet pipe is located in the liquid return pipe; the liquid supply joint has a liquid supply end 4 and a first liquid inlet end that are interconnected, the liquid supply end 4 is connected to the coolant inlet of the battery, the first liquid inlet end is connected to the liquid inlet pipe so that the coolant enters the battery through the first liquid inlet end and the liquid supply end 4; the liquid return joint has a liquid return end 7 and a first liquid outlet that are interconnected, the liquid return end 7 is connected to the coolant outlet of the battery, and the first liquid outlet end is connected to the liquid return pipe so that the coolant in the battery passes through the liquid return end 7 and the first liquid outlet The end is discharged into the return liquid pipe, and the first liquid outlet end is connected to the return liquid pipe so that the coolant in the battery is discharged into the return liquid pipe through the return liquid end 7 and the first liquid outlet end. The coolant enters the cooling channel inside the battery through the liquid supply joint. The coolant flows out from the return liquid joint after completing heat exchange inside the battery. The liquid supply joint and the return liquid joint constitute a transit structure for the circulation of battery coolant. The first liquid inlet branch pipe 8 is located in the return liquid pipe. The first liquid inlet branch pipe 8 only exchanges heat with the return liquid pipe during the process of transporting the coolant. This heat exchange method reduces the energy loss during the input of the coolant. Compared with traditional cooling equipment directly exposed to the air, the first liquid inlet branch pipe 8 and the second liquid inlet branch pipe 9 are not directly in contact with the external environment. Only the return liquid pipe is in contact with the environment. The contact surface is less and the energy loss will be smaller. Because it is a double-layer pipe, such as the heat radiated outward by the inner layer of the liquid supply pipe in winter, the outer layer of the reflux medium can absorb this part of the heat for recycling. The greater the temperature difference, the faster the energy transfer. The temperature difference between the first and second liquid inlet branches 8, 9 and the environment is the greatest. With the return pipe as a barrier, the temperature difference between the pipe's outer wall and the environment is smaller, resulting in less energy loss. Because the first liquid inlet branch 8 is located within the return pipe, the liquid inlet and return are integrated into the same pipe. This design significantly reduces the space occupied by the liquid cooling pipe and increases the energy storage density of the container battery.
