[0012] In some embodiments, the distance of the gap is d1, and satisfies 0.5 mm ≤ d1 ≤ 2 mm.

[0013] In some embodiments, a buffer layer is disposed between at least one of the end plates and an adjacent single battery cell.

[0017] In some embodiments, the thickness of the end plate is d3, and satisfies 10 mm ≤ d3 ≤ 50 mm.

[0018] In some embodiments, the thickness d3 of the end plate satisfies 15 mm ≤ d3 ≤ 25 mm.

[0019] A battery pack comprises any one of the aforementioned battery assemblies; the battery assembly has a height direction perpendicular to its length direction and width direction, and the multiple battery assemblies are stacked along the height direction.

[0048] In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more than two, and "several" means one or more.

[0049] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, an energy storage system 1000 is disclosed, including a plurality of energy storage battery cabinets 100 and a distribution box 200. The energy storage system 1000 may generally be a household energy storage system or a commercial energy storage system, and the number of energy storage battery cabinets 100 included therein may be set according to specific needs. The plurality of energy storage battery cabinets 100 are electrically connected to the distribution box 200 to achieve power distribution management. In some embodiments, the energy storage system 1000 may further include a mounting frame 300, and the battery cabinet 100 and the distribution box 200 may both be mounted on the mounting frame 300.

[0051] like Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage battery cabinet 100 may include a cabinet 11, a battery pack 12, an air conditioning component 13, and a battery manager 14. A receiving space is formed inside the cabinet 11, and the battery pack 12 is received inside the cabinet 11. The air conditioning component 13 is installed on the cabinet 11, and can usually be installed inside the cabinet 11, such as hanging on the inner wall of the cabinet 11, or can be installed outside the cabinet 11, to adjust the internal working temperature of the battery cabinet 100. The battery manager 14 can be used for charge and discharge management of the battery pack 12.

[0052] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the battery pack 12 includes a plurality of battery assemblies 120 .

[0053] Since the architecture of the energy storage system 1000 and the above-mentioned structural hierarchy of the energy storage battery cabinet 100 are not the focus of the improvement of this case, and there are many typical implementation methods of the above-mentioned structural hierarchy in the prior art, they will not be described in detail here. In this application, the improvement of the energy storage system 1000 and the energy storage battery cabinet 100 mainly depends on the battery pack 12 and the battery module 120, so the specific implementation methods of the battery pack 12 and the battery module 120 are mainly described in detail below.

[0054] In the battery pack 12, the battery assembly 120 has a preset length direction, width direction and height direction, and the length direction, width direction and height direction are perpendicular to each other. The multiple battery assemblies 120 are stacked along the height direction. The height direction here can be understood as the vertical direction. Usually, in actual applications, the height direction of the energy storage system 1000 or the energy storage battery cabinet 100 included therein after it is placed or installed is the vertical direction. The battery pack 12 is roughly rectangular in shape. Therefore, for ease of understanding, the direction of the battery assembly 120 that is the same as the vertical direction under normal use is defined as its height direction, and accordingly, its length direction and width direction are defined in the horizontal direction.

[0055] The battery assembly 120 includes a plurality of single cells 121, each of which is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the length of the rectangular parallelepiped single cell is L0, the thickness is D0, and the height is H0, and 10 ≤ L0 / H0 ≤ 12; 50 ≤ L0 / D0 ≤ 90 are satisfied. The single cell 121 is roughly in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, which means that the main part of the single cell 121 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, but because the single cell 121 generally also includes electrode terminals, explosion-proof valves and other structures located at the ends of the main part, the overall shape is not strictly rectangular, or due to factors such as dimensional shape tolerances and local irregularities, the overall shape is not strictly rectangular, but generally meets the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. Accordingly, the length of the single cell 121 can be understood as the length of the main part of the single cell 121, that is, the part excluding the electrode terminals.

[0056] The plurality of single cells 121 are arranged along the width direction of the battery assembly 120, and the thickness direction of the single cells 121 is consistent with the width direction of the battery assembly 120, and the length direction of the single cells 121 is consistent with the length direction of the battery assembly 120. At the same time, each single cell 121 extends from one side of the length direction of the battery assembly 120 to the other opposite side. In other words, only one single cell 121 is arranged in the length direction of each battery assembly 120, and the single cell 121 is arranged from one side to the other side as a whole. No auxiliary reinforcement is required along the length direction of the battery assembly 120, which can ensure a high volume utilization rate and energy density. At the same time, the plurality of single cells 121 are arranged along the width direction of the battery assembly 120, which can form a limit and reinforcement between each other, and the single cells can also play an auxiliary reinforcement role in the length direction of the formed battery assembly 120, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the battery assembly 120.

[0057] In addition, the width dimension of the battery assembly 120 is D l、 The length dimension is L1 and satisfies 75%≤D l / L1≤125%. The width dimension D of the battery assembly 120 l The length dimension L1 is constrained within the ratio range, so that the plane projection of the battery assembly 120 is close to a square, the center of gravity is roughly at the center, and the forces on each structural component are relatively uniform and stable during transportation and after installation. For example, in actual applications, the width dimension D of the battery assembly 120 is l、 The length dimension L1 may preferably be in a ratio of about 1:1, so that the projection of the battery assembly 120 on the horizontal plane is close to a square, and the center of gravity distribution is controlled to improve stability. Of course, in a specific implementation, the width dimension D l、 The ratio of the length dimension L1 can also be adjusted within the above range according to specific needs.

[0058] At the same time, the length L0, thickness D0, and height H0 of the rectangular single battery 121 satisfy 10 ≤ L0 / H0 ≤12; 50 ≤ L0 / D0 ≤ 90. This size limitation is also to maximize the volume energy density while ensuring the stability and overall structural strength of the battery assembly 1. Specifically, the ratio of the length to the thickness of the single battery 121 is limited because when the ratio is larger, the number of single batteries 121 that can be arranged is more, the volume utilization rate is increased, and the power is more. At the same time, in order to make the sum of the thickness dimensions of the single batteries 121 arranged in the thickness direction close to the length of the single battery 121, the projection shape of the multiple single batteries arranged in the horizontal direction is close to a square, and the center of gravity is located in the middle. When multiple battery assemblies 120 are stacked from bottom to top, the center of gravity of the entire battery pack 12 is also located in the middle, which is relatively stable. When the ratio of the length to the thickness of the single cell 121 is too large, the structural strength of the single cell 121 will be weakened, and the expansion force generated after multiple charge and discharge cycles will damage the internal battery cells; when the ratio of the length to the thickness of the single cell is too small, the number of single cells 121 contained in each layer of the battery assembly 120 will be reduced while ensuring stability. If the number of single cells 121 is increased, not only will the structure of the battery assembly 120 be unstable, but when multiple battery assemblies 120 are stacked into a battery pack 12, the stacking height will also be limited. Therefore, after long-term research and multiple experimental verifications, the inventors have found that in order to simultaneously meet the aforementioned requirements for the stability of the battery assembly 1, the overall structural strength, and the maximum volume energy density, the aforementioned size requirements must be met.

[0059] The battery pack 12 , the energy storage battery cabinet 100 , and the energy storage system 1000 using the battery assembly 120 can also utilize the above-mentioned characteristics of the battery assembly 120 to improve energy density, structural strength, and overall stability.

[0060] In some embodiments, the single battery satisfies: 70≤ L0 / D0≤90.

[0061] In some embodiments, the single cell meets the following conditions: 400mm<L0<1000mm, 10mm<D0<30mm, 90mm<H0<200mm. In some usage scenarios, such as the energy storage battery cabinet 100 used in the home generally adopts a wall-mounted structure, the single cell 121 needs to be as flat as possible, and the single cells 121 on each battery assembly 120 also need to be as flat as possible after being arranged. In this way, after the energy storage battery cabinet 100 using the above-mentioned single cell 121 is hung on the wall, the size of the protruding wall is less likely to exceed 500mm, thereby hardly interfering with the user's normal activities at home and better meeting the usage needs of home users.

[0062] In some embodiments, the single cell meets the following conditions: 500mm<L0<970mm, 10mm<D0<15mm, 80mm<H0<100mm. In some use scenarios, for example, the energy storage battery cabinet 1 used in industry and commerce generally requires one single cell 121 to be arranged in length, and multiple single cells 121 can be stacked in thickness and height directions. In this way, the energy storage battery cabinet 1 using the above single cell 121 can store more electricity and has a stronger power supply capacity, meeting the use needs of industry and commerce.

[0063] In some embodiments, the battery assembly 120 further includes a battery support 122, and the battery support 122 includes a bottom plate 1221 extending along the width direction of the battery assembly 120 and end plates 1222 connected to two opposite ends of the bottom plate 1221. The bottoms of the plurality of single cells 121 are at least partially supported on the bottom plate 1221, and the two end plates 1222 are sandwiched between the two sides of the plurality of single cells 121 in the thickness direction. The width dimension D of the battery assembly 120 is l、 is the distance between the outer end surfaces of the two end plates 1222.

[0064] By providing a battery holder 122, a plurality of single cells 121 can be fixed by the battery holder 122, so that the structural strength of the battery holder 122 itself can be used to assist in improving the structural strength of the single cells 121, so that the number of battery assemblies 120 that can be arranged in the battery holder 122, the energy storage battery cabinet 100 and the energy storage system 1000 can be greater. For example, in the battery holder 122, the number of battery assemblies 120 can be 6-20 and they can be stacked in sequence in the height direction, so that the volume utilization rate of the energy storage battery cabinet 100 and the energy storage system 1000 is greater and the energy density is higher.

[0065] In some embodiments, among the plurality of single cells 121, at least some of the adjacent single cells 121 are preset with gaps, and the gaps are filled with an isolation dielectric layer 123. In a specific implementation, the isolation dielectric layer 123 can be made of insulating and heat-insulating materials, which can reduce the impact of transportation vibration and battery expansion on the battery assembly 1, and can also prevent heat propagation between single cells, reduce the risk of damage to the battery module structure and thermal runaway, and can also play an insulating role. The isolation dielectric layer 123 can partially fill the corresponding gaps. For example, the isolation dielectric layer 123 can include a limiting part and an isolation part. The thickness of the limiting part can be roughly the same as the distance of the gap, which is used to limit the position between adjacent single cells 121, and the thickness of the isolation part is less than the distance of the gap, so that a partial gap is retained between adjacent single cells 121, reducing the impact of transportation vibration and battery expansion on the battery assembly 1.

[0066] In some embodiments, the distance of the gap is d1, and satisfies 0.5 mm≤d1≤2 mm.

[0067] In some embodiments, a buffer layer 124 is provided between at least one of the end plates 1222 and the adjacent single battery 121. The buffer layer 124 may be made of foam. The end plate 122 is provided with foam, which can be used to buffer the expansion force generated by the single battery 121 during use. At the same time, since the buffer layer 124 can be elastically retractable, it can be used to offset the accumulation of dimensional tolerances during assembly. The thickness of the buffer layer is d2, and satisfies 1mm≤d2≤3mm.

[0068] When the battery assembly 120 further includes at least one of the aforementioned isolation dielectric layer 123 and buffer layer 124, the width dimension D of the battery assembly 120 is l is still the distance between the outer end surfaces of the two end plates 1222. Accordingly, the width dimension D l Including the thickness of the isolation dielectric layer 123 and the buffer layer 124.

[0069] In some embodiments, the thickness of the end plate 1222 is d3, and satisfies 10 mm ≤ d3 ≤ 50 mm. Further, the thickness d3 of the end plate 1222 satisfies 15 mm ≤ d3 ≤ 25 mm. Thus, the end plate 1222 meets the structural strength required for the constraint while not being too thick to occupy too much volume.

[0070] In some embodiments, the battery support 122 includes two bottom plates 1221, which are spaced apart and supported at both ends of the length direction of the single battery 121, and the two ends of the two end plates 1222 are fixed to the two bottom plates 1221. In this way, the interval between the two bottom plates 1221 forms an air duct gap 1224, and the two bottom plates 1221 can also guide the gas entering the air duct gap 1224, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the gas to the single battery 121, making the single battery 121 less susceptible to heat damage, and extending the service life of the energy storage battery cabinet 100.

[0071] In some embodiments, the battery holder further includes two baffles 1223, which are respectively disposed on the two bottom plates 1221 and are used to stop the two ends of the length direction of the single battery 121. Specifically, the width of the baffle 1223 may be smaller than the width of the corresponding bottom plate 1221, and the baffle 1223 may be stacked and fixed on the upper side of the corresponding bottom plate 1221. The outer side of the baffle 1223 in the width direction may be substantially flush with the outer side of the bottom plate 1221, and the inner side and the bottom plate 1221 together form a stop step. When the temperature end of the single battery 121 is supported on the corresponding bottom plate 1221, the end is stopped and positioned by the stop step.

[0072] The battery pack 120 includes a plurality of battery assemblies 120, and the plurality of battery assemblies 120 are stacked in the height direction. For example, in some embodiments, the battery pack includes K battery assemblies, 2≤ K ≤ 16. Adjacent battery assemblies 120 can be installed and fixed by connecting between battery brackets 122. For example, the battery brackets 122 of adjacent battery assemblies 120 can be fixed by screw connection.

[0073] In some embodiments, the battery pack has a height dimension H1 along the height direction of the battery assembly, and the height dimension H1 of the battery pack and the length dimension L1 of the battery assembly satisfy: 10%≤H1 / L1≤200%, and further, the height dimension H1 of the battery pack and the length dimension L1 of the battery assembly satisfy: 80%≤H1 / L1≤120%. In this way, the center of the battery pack 120 can be made as close to its geometric center as possible, and the structure is more stable. When the battery holder 122 includes multiple battery assemblies 120, the height H1 of the battery holder 122 can be understood as the sum of the heights of the multiple battery assemblies 120.

[0074] In some embodiments, the battery module includes an even number of cells; the cells include a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and the positive terminal and the negative terminal are located at two opposite ends of the length direction of the cells. In this way, the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the cells 121 are located on opposite sides, and the even number arrangement facilitates the connection between the upper and lower battery assemblies 120.
