In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0043] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0044] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 6 An energy storage cabinet and a power storage system according to some embodiments of the present application are described.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present application provides an energy storage cabinet, which includes a cabinet body, an electric control device, a battery pack, a detection device 5 and a liquid injection device. The cabinet body includes a power storage chamber and a control chamber that are sealed from each other, the electric control device is arranged in the control chamber, and the battery pack is arranged in the power storage chamber. The detection device 5 is arranged in the cabinet body to detect a fire in the cabinet body. The liquid injection device is connected to the power storage chamber, and the detection device 5 is communicatively connected to the liquid injection device, so that when the detection device 5 detects a fire, the liquid injection device can inject coolant into the power storage chamber.

[0046] The energy storage cabinet provided according to the above technical features is provided with a storage chamber and a control chamber sealed from each other in the cabinet body, an electric control device is provided in the control chamber, a battery pack is provided in the above-mentioned storage chamber, and a liquid injection device is connected to the storage chamber, and the detection device 5 is communicatively connected to the liquid injection device. Thus, on the one hand, when the detection device 5 detects a fire in the cabinet body, the detection device 5 can send an instruction to the liquid injection device, so that the liquid injection device can inject coolant into the storage chamber, so that the battery pack in the storage chamber can be immersed in the coolant, so that the fire can be quickly extinguished and the heat generated by the fire can be quickly cooled by the coolant, thereby effectively suppressing the heat diffusion caused by the fire. On the other hand, the storage chamber and the control chamber are separated and sealed from each other, so that the coolant is effectively blocked from flowing to the control chamber, so that the probability of the electric control device being damaged by being immersed in the coolant is effectively reduced, and the loss caused by the fire is effectively reduced.

[0047] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, the battery pack group may include a plurality of battery packs 31 so as to increase the energy storage capacity of the storage chamber.

[0048] Preferably, each of the above-mentioned battery packs 31 can reach the IP67 protection level, so as to improve the waterproof and dustproof level of the battery pack 31, so as to effectively reduce the probability of the battery pack 31 being soaked in the coolant and damaged. It should be noted that the above-mentioned IP67 protection level refers to the protection safety level. Among them, IP is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection Rating. The technology that enables the battery pack 31 to reach the IP67 protection level is the existing technology in the field and will not be repeated here. In addition, the above-mentioned battery pack 31 reaching the IP67 protection level can be understood as the protection level of the shell of the above-mentioned battery pack 31 is at least IP67 level, and the protection level of the shell of the battery pack 31 can also be a higher level than IP67 protection (for example, IP68 level).

[0049] like Figure 1 The example in which the battery pack group includes five battery packs 31 is shown, but it is not limited thereto, and the number of battery packs 31 can be adaptively adjusted according to the size and storage capacity of the energy storage cabinet. Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of battery packs 31 may be stacked in the battery storage cavity along a first direction F1 to improve space utilization of the battery storage cavity.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, F1 shown in the figure may be an example of the first direction. For the convenience of description, two mutually perpendicular directions on a plane perpendicular to the first direction F1 are defined as a second direction F2 and a third direction F3. F2 shown in the figure may be an example of the second direction, and F3 shown in the figure may be an example of the third direction. Preferably, when the energy storage cabinet is in use, the first direction F1 may be parallel to the gravity direction, and the plane determined by the second direction F2 and the third direction F3 may be parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0051] like Figure 1As shown, the storage chamber may also be provided with an electrical connection device, and the battery pack may be electrically connected to the electric control device via the electrical connection device, so as to realize the storage function of the battery pack. Optionally, the electrical connection device may include a high-voltage box 32 and a low-voltage device 33, and the electrical connection device may be arranged above the battery pack in the first direction F1, so that when the liquid injection device injects cooling liquid into the storage chamber, the above arrangement can effectively reduce the probability of the electrical connection devices such as the high-voltage box 32 and the low-voltage device 33 being immersed in liquid, thereby reducing the probability of the electrical connection devices being damaged by immersion.

[0052] In an embodiment, not shown in the figure, the battery pack 31 may include a sensing unit, a battery cell group and an aerosol injection unit, and the sensing unit is respectively connected to the battery cell group and the aerosol injection unit. The sensing unit may be arranged in the housing of the battery pack 31 for detecting the battery cell group. When the sensing unit detects that the battery cell group has reached the fire limit value, the aerosol injection unit sprays aerosols toward the battery cell group to realize the first-level fire protection arrangement of the energy storage cabinet, that is, when the sensing unit detects that the data of the battery cell group in the battery pack 31 has reached the fire limit value, the aerosol injection unit can spray aerosols toward the battery cell group to extinguish the fire in the battery pack 31.

[0053] Optionally, the above-mentioned sensing part can be a temperature acquisition chip and an electrical signal acquisition chip in the battery pack 31, so as to determine whether a fire occurs in the battery pack 31 through the current (or voltage) and temperature data of the battery cell. In other words, the above-mentioned fire limit value can be the temperature limit value of the battery cell group fire and / or the current (or voltage) limit value of the battery cell group fire.

[0054] It should be noted that the structure of the battery pack 31 for extinguishing fire by spraying aerosol is a prior art in the art (for example, Chinese patent document CN115566319A A battery box with improved fire extinguishing safety performance), which will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Preferably, in an embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the energy storage cabinet may further include a fire extinguishing agent spraying unit that is communicatively connected to the detection device 5, and the fire extinguishing agent spraying unit is disposed on the top of the power storage chamber. When the detection device 5 detects a fire, the fire extinguishing agent spraying unit can spray the fire extinguishing agent toward the power storage chamber, thereby realizing the second-level fire protection arrangement of the energy storage cabinet, that is, when the detection device 5 detects a fire in the cabinet, the fire extinguishing agent spraying unit can spray the fire extinguishing agent into the cabinet to extinguish the open fire in the cabinet.

[0056] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, the detection device 5 can be arranged on the top of the power storage chamber to detect the fire in the power storage chamber. Optionally, the detection device 5 can be a fire detection sensor device such as a smoke alarm or a carbon monoxide detector.

[0057] Preferably, if Figure 2 As shown, the fire extinguishing agent spraying unit may include a fire extinguishing agent holding tank 41 and a nozzle 42 which are connected to each other. The nozzle 42 may be arranged directly above the battery pack group in the first direction F1 to facilitate fire extinguishing of the battery pack group. The fire extinguishing agent holding tank 41 may be arranged side by side with the electrical connecting device in the third direction F3. Thus, on the one hand, the space utilization rate of the electrical connecting device in the battery storage cavity is effectively improved; on the other hand, the fire extinguishing agent holding tank 41 is arranged above the battery pack group, which effectively reduces the kinetic energy required for the fire extinguishing agent spraying unit to spray the fire extinguishing agent.

[0058] Optionally, the fire extinguishing agent may be perfluorohexanone fire extinguishing agent, but is not limited thereto, and the fire extinguishing agent may also be other fire extinguishing agents suitable for circuit fires.

[0059] On the basis of the features described above, the energy storage cabinet provided by the present application realizes a three-level fire protection arrangement, wherein the first-level fire protection arrangement is the sensing part, the battery cell group and the aerosol spray part in the battery pack 31. When the sensing part detects that the data of the battery cell group in the battery pack 31 reaches the fire limit value, the aerosol spray part can spray aerosol to the battery cell group to extinguish the fire in the battery pack 31; the second-level fire protection arrangement is the fire extinguishing agent spraying part connected to the detection device 5 in communication. When the fire in the cabinet is detected by the detection device 5, the fire extinguishing agent spraying part can spray the fire extinguishing agent into the cabinet to extinguish the fire. Extinguish open flames in the cabinet. In this way, when the first-level fire protection arrangement fails to extinguish all fires, the energy storage cabinet can further extinguish the fire through the second-level fire protection arrangement; the third-level fire protection arrangement is a liquid injection device that is communicated with the detection device 5. When the detection device 5 detects a fire, the liquid injection device can inject coolant into the battery storage cavity, so that the battery pack in the battery storage cavity can be immersed in the coolant, so that the fire can be quickly extinguished and the heat generated by the fire can be quickly cooled by the coolant, effectively suppressing the heat diffusion caused by the fire, thereby ensuring the complete elimination of the fire.

In this way, on the one hand, the water-cooling liquid can be circulated in sequence through the water cooling unit 21-water outlet circuit-water cooling plate-water return circuit-water cooling unit 21 (i.e., water cooling circulation circuit), thereby realizing the liquid cooling circulation of the battery pack group; on the other hand, the water cooling unit 21 is arranged in the control cavity, which effectively prevents the water cooling unit 21 from being immersed in the coolant when the coolant soaks the battery pack group, thereby reducing the probability of the water cooling unit 21 being damaged by being immersed in the coolant.
