Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of energy storage device technology, specifically relating to an energy storage device that can automatically clean the heat dissipation vents. Background Technology
[0002] Distributed energy storage involves charging energy storage modules via the power grid during off-peak hours and then supplying power to shopping malls and industrial parks with concentrated electricity consumption during peak hours. It includes an energy storage room, energy storage modules installed in the energy storage room, and air-cooled components.
[0003] The energy storage module generates heat during operation and needs to be actively cooled by air. However, the airflow near the heat dissipation holes is large, which makes it easy for dust and other debris to adhere, resulting in a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency. Manual cleaning is costly, and existing automatic cleaning devices are difficult to use water efficiently, resulting in a large amount of water consumption during cleaning. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy storage device that can automatically clean the heat dissipation vents in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:
[0006] An energy storage device capable of automatically cleaning heat dissipation vents includes an energy storage chamber, heat dissipation holes disposed on the side wall of the energy storage chamber, and a rainwater collection tank disposed at the top of the energy storage chamber, and further includes:
[0007] The water discharge assembly with different water discharge levels includes a water discharge cylinder and a cylindrical cavity for accommodating the rotation of the water discharge cylinder. The surface of the water discharge cylinder is provided with several rows of water discharge grooves with different apertures. The cylindrical cavity has an opening. Water is discharged when different water discharge grooves are aligned with the opening. One end of the water discharge cylinder is rotatably connected to the cylindrical cavity through a one-way bearing, and the other end is connected to the rainwater collection tank through a sealed bearing and a hose. The hose is equipped with a valve.
[0008] A cleaning mechanism for cleaning heat dissipation holes and adjusting water outlet levels includes a track frame installed on the outer wall of the energy storage room, a sliding frame slidably installed in the track frame, and a cleaning strip installed in the sliding frame. The sliding frame is driven to rise and fall by a motor and a threaded rod. The cleaning strip is used to clean the heat dissipation holes and drive the drain cylinder to rotate so that water can be discharged from drain tanks of different hole diameters.
[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the valve includes a U-shaped buckle set on the inner wall of the energy storage chamber, the hose passes through the U-shaped buckle, and a clamping rod pushed by the cleaning strip is provided through the inner wall of the energy storage chamber to flatten the hose inside the U-shaped buckle. The valve is used to control the water outlet of the hose and can be a common solenoid valve or the squeezing method in this solution for opening and closing. When the cleaning strip returns to its position, it squeezes the clamping rod to flatten the hose and shut off the water outlet.
[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, the rotating shaft end of the drain cylinder is provided with an angle locking block for positioning the rotation angle of the drain cylinder. The angle locking block is an elastic Luroxene triangle and is rotatably connected to the slot at the end of the cylindrical cavity. This is used to prevent errors in each rotation of the drain cylinder. Since the rotation of the drain cylinder is controlled by the up-and-down movement of the cleaning strip in conjunction with the one-way bearing at the end of the drain cylinder, different drain channels are leaked after each rotation. When the cleaning strip moves down, it squeezes the drain cylinder and drives the drain cylinder to rotate. However, it is difficult to ensure that the rotation angle is the same each time, resulting in angle errors after multiple rotations, which affects the leakage sequence of the drain channels. Therefore, in this solution, an angle locking block is provided so that the angle of the drain cylinder is maintained by the angle locking block after each rotation. The drain cylinder side wall is provided with three drain channels, and the angle locking block is provided with three corners. After each rotation, the angle is maintained by the elasticity of the angle locking block, eliminating errors.
[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, the inner wall of the energy storage chamber is provided with a waterproof eave to prevent water from entering the heat dissipation holes, so as to prevent sewage from cleaning the heat dissipation holes from flowing into the energy storage chamber.
[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the rainwater collection box is provided with a collection trough at the upper end and a water storage chamber at the lower end. The water storage chamber and the collection trough are connected by a small hole to reduce evaporation.
[0013] As a further optimization of the present invention, the contact surface between the cleaning strip and the heat dissipation hole is provided with rubber cleaning texture, and a brush is provided at the lower edge of the sliding frame to facilitate cleaning of the inner wall of the heat dissipation hole.
[0014] As a further optimization of the present invention, the cleaning strip and the sliding frame are telescopically connected. A first L-shaped arm is provided on the back of the cleaning strip, which penetrates through the sliding frame. A second L-shaped arm corresponding to the first L-shaped arm is provided on the inner wall of the track frame. When the first L-shaped arm and the second L-shaped arm abut against each other, they are used to press the cleaning strip against the heat dissipation hole. When they hook together, they are used to pull the cleaning strip away from the heat dissipation hole. Both the upper and lower ends of the second L-shaped arm are provided with elastic guide plates to guide the first L-shaped arm to switch the connection state with the second L-shaped arm. Since there is a lot of dirt on the lower edge of the cleaning strip, if the cleaning strip is in close contact with the heat dissipation hole when it rises and resets, the dirt is easy to remain near the heat dissipation hole again. Therefore, a sliding cleaning strip, as well as the first L-shaped arm and the second L-shaped arm, are provided so that when the cleaning strip reaches the lowest point, it is hooked back after being guided by the elastic guide plate, and does not contact the heat dissipation hole when it moves up and resets again.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0016] This invention utilizes a rainwater collection tank and multiple water discharge valves to make more efficient use of water when cleaning the heat dissipation holes, reducing reliance on piped water supply. When cleaning dust, water is supplied three times: wetting, cleaning, and rinsing, keeping the area around the heat dissipation holes clean. Furthermore, a retractable cleaning strip is included to prevent dirt from being left on the surface of the heat dissipation holes during resetting, greatly improving the automatic cleaning efficiency of the heat dissipation holes.

[0025] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 1-7As shown, an energy storage device capable of automatically cleaning heat dissipation vents includes an energy storage chamber 1, heat dissipation holes 101 disposed on the side wall of the energy storage chamber 1, and a rainwater collection tank 2 disposed at the upper end of the energy storage chamber 1, and further includes:
[0028] The water discharge assembly 3 with different water discharge levels includes a water discharge cylinder 32 and a cylindrical cavity 31 for accommodating the rotation of the water discharge cylinder 32. The surface of the water discharge cylinder 32 is provided with several rows of water discharge grooves 33 with different apertures. The cylindrical cavity 31 has an opening. Water is discharged when different water discharge grooves 33 are aligned with the opening. One end of the water discharge cylinder 32 is rotatably connected to the cylindrical cavity 31 through a one-way bearing 34, and the other end is connected to the rainwater collection tank 2 through a sealed bearing 36 and a hose 201. The hose 201 is equipped with a valve.
[0029] The cleaning mechanism 4, used for cleaning the heat dissipation holes 101 and adjusting the water outlet level, includes a track frame 41 set on the outer wall of the energy storage chamber 1, a sliding frame 44 slidably set in the track frame 41, and a cleaning strip 45 set in the sliding frame 44. The sliding frame 44 is driven to rise and fall by a motor 42 and a threaded rod 43. The cleaning strip 45 is used to clean the heat dissipation holes 101 and drive the water discharge cylinder 32 to rotate so that water discharge tanks 33 with different hole diameters can be discharged.
[0030] The valve includes a U-shaped buckle 37 installed on the inner wall of the energy storage chamber 1. The hose 201 passes through the U-shaped buckle 37, and a clamping rod 38 pushed by the cleaning strip 45 is installed through the inner wall of the energy storage chamber 1 to flatten the hose 201 inside the U-shaped buckle 37. The valve is used to control the water output of the hose 201. It can be a common solenoid valve or the squeezing method in this solution for opening and closing. When the cleaning strip 45 returns to its original position, it squeezes the clamping rod 38, causing the clamping rod 38 to flatten the hose 201 and shut off the water output.
[0031] The rotating shaft end of the water discharge cylinder 32 is provided with an angle locking block 35 for positioning the rotation angle of the water discharge cylinder 32. The angle locking block 35 is a flexible Lurox triangle and is rotatably connected to the slot at the end of the cylindrical cavity 31 to prevent the water discharge cylinder 32 from generating errors each time it rotates.
[0032] Since the rotation of the drain cylinder 32 is controlled by the up-and-down movement of the cleaning strip 45 and the one-way bearing 34 at the end of the drain cylinder 32, different diameter drain troughs 33 are discharged after each rotation. When the cleaning strip 45 moves down, it squeezes the drain cylinder 32 and drives the drain cylinder 32 to rotate. However, it is difficult to ensure that the rotation angle is the same each time, so that angle error occurs after multiple rotations, affecting the discharge sequence of the drain trough 32. Therefore, in this solution, an angle retainer 35 is set so that the drain cylinder 32 maintains the angle after each rotation. In this embodiment, the drain cylinder 32 has three drain troughs 33 with three positions on its side wall. The angle retainer 35 has three corners. After each rotation, the angle retainer 35 maintains the angle through its elasticity, eliminating the error.
[0033] The inner wall of the energy storage chamber 1 is provided with a waterproof eaves 102 to prevent water from entering the heat dissipation holes 101, which is used to prevent sewage from cleaning the heat dissipation holes 101 from flowing into the energy storage chamber 1.
[0034] The rainwater collection box 2 has a collection trough at the top and a water storage chamber at the bottom. The water storage chamber and the collection trough are connected by a small hole to reduce evaporation.
[0035] The contact surface between the cleaning strip 45 and the heat dissipation hole 101 is provided with rubber cleaning texture, and the lower edge of the slide frame 44 is provided with a brush 49 to facilitate cleaning the inner wall of the heat dissipation hole 101.
[0036] The cleaning strip 45 is telescopically connected to the sliding frame 44. A first L-shaped arm 46 is provided on the back of the cleaning strip 45, which passes through the sliding frame 44. A second L-shaped arm 47 corresponding to the first L-shaped arm 46 is provided on the inner wall of the track frame 41. When the first L-shaped arm 46 and the second L-shaped arm 47 abut against each other, they are used to press the cleaning strip 45 against the heat dissipation hole 101. When they hook together, they are used to pull the cleaning strip 45 away from the heat dissipation hole 101. Both the upper and lower ends of the second L-shaped arm 47 are provided with elastic guide plates 48 to guide the first L-shaped arm 46 to switch with the second L-shaped arm 44. In the connection state of the two L-shaped arms 47, since there are many stains on the lower edge of the cleaning strip 45, if the cleaning strip 45 is in close contact with the heat dissipation hole 101 when it rises and resets, the stains are easy to remain near the heat dissipation hole 101. Therefore, a telescopic cleaning strip 45 is set so that the cleaning strip 45 can be separated from the heat dissipation hole 101 when it moves up and resets. By setting the first L-shaped arm 46 and the second L-shaped arm 47, when the cleaning strip 45 reaches the lowest end, it is hooked back after being guided by the elastic guide plate 48, and does not contact the heat dissipation hole 101 when it moves up and resets again.
[0037] The specific implementation method is as follows: Rainwater is collected by the rainwater collection box 2 and then used for precise water usage through the discharge pipe 32 and the discharge channels 33 with different apertures, reducing reliance on piped water supply. In some areas with abundant rainfall, continuous cleaning can even be completed using only rainwater. When cleaning is required, the motor 42 drives the sliding frame 44 and the cleaning strip 45 to move down. The first L-shaped arm 46 and the second L-shaped arm 47 abut back to back, and the cleaning strip 45 presses against the heat dissipation hole 101. The clamping rod 38 releases the hose 201, and water enters the discharge pipe 32. The cleaning strip 45 drives the discharge pipe 32 to rotate through friction, and water leaks out through the smallest aperture discharge channel. The cleaning strip 45 is slightly moistened in the trough 33, and then the cleaning strip 45 slides up and down to clean the floating dust. However, when the cleaning strip 45 moves downward, it will not pass the elastic guide plate 48, so that the cleaning strip 45 always keeps in close contact with the heat dissipation hole 101 during the reciprocating movement. When the water volume needs to be increased, the cleaning strip 45 moves up past the drain cylinder 32 and then moves down again to drive the drain cylinder 32 to rotate due to friction. The drain cylinder 32 can only rotate in one direction through the one-way bearing 36, which exposes the drain trough 33 with a larger diameter, further increasing the water volume to flush the sewage. After rinsing, the largest drain trough 33 is exposed again in the above manner for final rinsing.
[0038] During the final rinse, the sliding frame 44 moves to its lowest point, causing the first L-shaped arm 46 to pass over the elastic guide plate 48. When it moves up again, the first L-shaped arm 46 and the second L-shaped arm 47 change from a back-to-back abutting state to a hooked state, causing the cleaning strip 45 to disengage from the heat dissipation hole 101. After returning, it moves to the position of pressing the clamping rod 38 and closes the hose 201.
[0039] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
