Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of thermal management, and in particular relates to a direct-cooling thermal management device for an energy storage device. Background Art

[0002] Thermal management refers to the management and control of the temperature of the total system, discrete components or their environment, with the purpose of maintaining the normal operation of each component or improving its performance or life. Currently, thermal management is usually required in fields such as electrochemical energy storage, and has a significant impact on the performance, life and safety of the energy storage system. At present, in the thermal management systems of various energy storage devices, for energy storage batteries, air cooling, liquid cooling or direct cooling can be used to manage the thermal state of the battery cells.

[0003] However, in the prior art, the refrigeration system must first transfer energy to the coolant, and then the coolant transfers the energy to the battery cell for heat exchange with the battery cell. The heat exchange is performed twice through three media, which greatly increases the energy consumption of the refrigeration system. Because the coolant acts as a "middleman", it must be equipped with a heat exchange mechanism between the refrigeration system and the battery cell, which in turn leads to an increase in the mechanism and the cost of the mechanism. The circulation of the coolant often requires a high-power water pump. The operation of the water pump will increase energy consumption, increase the space occupied by the mechanism, and increase the vibration of the machine, etc., which adds a lot of burden on both the construction cost and the use cost.

[0035] The direct cooling machine provides temperature control (including cooling and heating) for the containerized energy storage system. The device is designed with Ino direct cooling technology, and ensures that the temperature of the battery cells of the containerized energy storage system is continuously controlled in an operating environment of -40℃ to +45℃ (frequency reduction above 45℃). The ARC-Z60KW direct cooling unit is designed with two modes according to changes in the operating environment. The ambient temperature is from low to high, which are the electric heating mode and the cooling mode. When the energy storage system is running and generates heat by itself, the compressor 12 is started to draw in the refrigerant gas and compress it into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas is transported to the inside of the second connecting pipe 9 through the second delivery pipe 11. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas is transported to the inside of the second connecting pipe 9 through the temperature recovery device 10 to improve the refrigeration efficiency through heat exchange. The gas after heat exchange is transported to the inside of the condenser 5 through the connecting pipe 6, and comes into contact with the outside air. Then the heat dissipation fan 3 is started to dissipate heat and cool it into a high-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid enters the third pipeline through the connecting pipe 6 and the first delivery pipe 8. When the high-pressure liquid enters the expansion valve from the third pipeline, the pressure and temperature drop significantly due to the limiting effect of the expansion valve. The low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid enters the first pipeline and contacts the battery plug-in cold plate inside the battery pack plug-in box, absorbs heat and evaporates to become a low-pressure gas, thereby facilitating the control of the battery pack plug-in box cold plate temperature and cooling the battery pack plug-in box. When the ambient temperature is in the range of -40°C to +15°C, the direct cooling unit is powered off and parked for a long time, and the whole machine is at the lowest allowable temperature, the four-way valve 16 is switched so that one side of the battery pack socket The low-pressure gas inside the first pipeline is drawn into the compressor 12 again through the third delivery pipe 13, and the compressor 12 compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas and enters the second delivery pipe 11. The gas flows from the second delivery pipe 11 to the second connecting pipe 9, and enters the condenser 5 through the second connecting pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 6. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas releases heat through heat dissipation and becomes liquid refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant is then transported by the connecting pipe, the first connecting pipe 7 and the second connecting pipe 9, and is heated and liquefied by a coil-type electric auxiliary heater. The coil is used to consume cold energy to reduce the defrosting shutdown hazards of the air-cooled condenser 5 under low-temperature conditions. The liquefied refrigerant The refrigerant enters the expansion valve through the first delivery pipe 8 and the third pipeline, and the pressure and temperature are reduced. The refrigerant with reduced pressure and temperature enters the third pipeline, exchanges heat with the air in the battery plug-in board cold plate, absorbs the heat of the air in the battery plug-in board cold plate, thereby increasing the temperature in the battery pack plug-in box to achieve the purpose of heating. When the compressor 12 is working, the oil separator 14 is used to facilitate compression and improve the oil return effect. The fixing structure 15 facilitates the stable installation of the oil separator 14 and the compressor 12 to prevent breakage and malfunction, resulting in poor oil return and insufficient lubrication inside the compressor 12, which may cause component wear and affect the life of the compressor 12.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the cooling fan 3 is located on one side of the upper cabin, the filter screen 4 on the front side of the upper cabin is located on the rear side of the cabinet door 2, a control box is arranged inside the lower cabin, a mounting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the compressor 12, the oil separator 14 is located on the top of one end of the third delivery pipe 13, a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the oil separator 14, one side of the connecting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the compressor 12, and one side of the mounting plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lower cabin, the first delivery pipe 8 and the third delivery pipe 13 extend through the body 1 to the interior of the energy storage box, and the expansion valve corresponds one to one with multiple battery pack boxes.

[0037] Heat is dissipated through the heat dissipation fan 3 and the condenser 5, which facilitates air circulation and improves heat exchange efficiency. When the cooling air passes through the upper cabin, the air is filtered through the filter 4, and the control box is used to control the body 1 for cooling and heating, and the temperature of the battery core is controlled. The oil separator 14 is installed on the side of the compressor 12 through the connecting plate, which is convenient for returning oil to the compressor 12. The temperature control granularity is aligned by the expansion valve, and the precision flow control of one expansion valve for one battery pack box is adopted to maximize the temperature uniformity between the battery boxes.

[0038] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the oil separator 14 includes a body 17, an air inlet pipe 18 is arranged on the top of the body 17, an exhaust pipe 19 is arranged on one side of the air inlet pipe 18, a rotating baffle 20 is arranged inside the body 17, a rotating rod 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating baffle 20, and a rotating shaft 22 is fixedly installed on the other side, one end of the rotating shaft 22 passes through one side of the body 17 and extends to the outside of the body 17, a first motor 23 is fixedly installed on one end of the rotating shaft 22, a filter plate 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating baffle 20, a filter element 25 is arranged at the bottom of the rotating baffle 20, an output pipe 26 is arranged at the bottom of the filter element 25, the output pipe 26 and an oil drain pipe 27 are arranged at the bottom of the body 17, and one end of the oil drain pipe 27 is fixedly installed with the compressor 12.

[0039] The gas inside the third delivery pipe 13 is delivered to the inside of the device body 17 through the intake pipe 18, and the gas is allowed to pass through the filter plate 24 by rotating the baffle 20 to filter the oil in the gas. After the gas is filtered, it is delivered to the inside of the third delivery pipe 13 through the exhaust pipe 19. When the oil is filtered on the filter plate 24, the first motor 23 is started to drive the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating baffle 20 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 21 rotates along the inner wall of the device body 17, and the rotating baffle 20 is rotated ninety degrees, so that the filter plate 24 is rotated to a horizontal direction, and the oil on the filter plate 24 drips downward, is filtered again by the filter element 25, and is delivered to the inside of the oil drain pipe 27 by the output pipe 26, so that the compressor 12 returns oil.

[0040] like Figures 7 to 10As shown, one end of the air inlet pipe 18 and the exhaust pipe 19 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the third delivery pipe 13, and the other end thereof extends to the inside of the device body 17 to the top of the rotating baffle 20, one end of the rotating rod 21 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the device body 17, the filter plate 24 and the rotating baffle 20 are vertically arranged, the air inlet pipe 18 is located on the left side of the filter plate 24, the exhaust pipe 19 is located on the right side of the filter plate 24, a groove is opened inside the rotating baffle 20, a first electric push rod 28 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the groove, a movable plate 29 is fixedly installed on one side of the first electric push rod 28, and the movable plate 29 is located inside the groove and on the left side of the filter plate 24.

[0041] When the rotating baffle 20 rotates to ninety degrees inside the body 17, the rotating baffle 20 rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state, so that the first electric push rod 28 and the movable plate 29 inside the groove rotate to a horizontal state, and the oil filtered on the filter plate 24 drips onto the rotating baffle 20 along the filter plate 24. When the rotating baffle 20 rotates to a vertical state, the oil on the rotating baffle 20 drips downward into the filter element 25, and at the same time, the first electric push rod 28 inside the groove is started to push the movable plate 29 to move, so that the rotating baffle 20 vibrates, thereby improving the effect of oil dripping.

[0042] like Figures 9 and 10 As shown, a moving opening is opened on the right side of the filter plate 24 and at the top of the rotating baffle 20, and a rotating plate 30 is arranged inside the moving opening. A movable rod 31 is fixedly installed on the top of one end of the rotating plate 30, one end of the movable rod 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the moving opening, and a second motor 32 is fixedly installed on the other end thereof, one side of the second motor 32 is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the moving opening away from the movable rod 31, a second electric push rod 33 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating plate 30, and a knocking plate 34 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second electric push rod 33.

[0043] When the rotating baffle 20 rotates to ninety degrees, the second motor 32 in the moving port on the right side of the filter plate 24 is started, so that the second motor 32 drives the movable rod 31 and the rotating plate 30 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 30 rotates to a state parallel to the filter plate 24, and at the same time, the second electric push rod 33 and the knocking plate 34 installed on one side of the rotating plate 30 rotate to a state perpendicular to the filter plate 24, and then the second electric push rod 33 is started to drive the knocking plate 34 to move toward the filter plate 24, so that the knocking plate 34 knocks on the filter plate 24, so as to vibrate the residual oil on the filter plate 24 and improve the oil return efficiency of the compressor 12.

[0044] like Figure 8 , Fig.11 , Fig.12As shown, the fixed structure 15 includes a mounting block 151, the top of the mounting block 151 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate, two fixed blocks 152 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting block 151, and a moving groove is opened on the adjacent side of the fixed blocks 152.

When the oil drain pipe 27 shakes near one end of the oil separator 14, the first limiting plate 153 moves toward the inside of the movable groove, compressing the compression spring. The first limiting plate 153 drives the first rack 154 to move, so that the gear 157 drives the movable rod to rotate along the inner wall of the movable groove, thereby driving the second rack 155 to drive the second limiting plate 156 to move toward the side of the oil drain pipe 27, so that the compression spring on one side of the second limiting plate 156 is stretched, so that the second limiting plate 156 limits the oil drain pipe 27, which facilitates the installation of one end of the oil drain pipe 27 and the oil separator 14, improves stability, facilitates the oil return of the compressor 12, and facilitates the use of the direct cooler.

[0046] like Figure 8 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 As shown, the oil drain pipe 27 runs through the middle of the mounting block 151, a sealing block 35 is fixedly mounted on one end of the oil drain pipe 27 close to the compressor 12, a connecting spring is fixedly mounted on one side of the sealing block 35, a connecting port is provided at the bottom of the fixed block 152 close to the compressor 12, a movable plate 36 is fixedly arranged inside the connecting port, the top of the movable plate 36 is fixedly mounted to the bottom of the first rack 154, the movable plate 36 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting port, and the connecting spring passes through the connecting port and is fixedly mounted on one side of the movable plate 36.

[0047] The sealing block 35 facilitates the stable connection between one end of the oil drain pipe 27 and the compressor 12. When the first limiting plate 153 close to the sealing block 35 moves toward the inside of the movable groove, the movable plate 36 connected to its bottom moves toward the inside of the connecting port, thereby compressing the connecting spring between the movable plate 36 and the sealing block 35, so that the connecting spring presses the sealing block 35, thereby improving the sealing performance between one end of the oil drain pipe 27 and the compressor, and preventing the oil drain pipe 27 from being improperly installed, which may cause the oil drain pipe 27 to break and cause a malfunction, thereby affecting the use of the compressor 12 and thus affecting the direct cooler's control over the battery cell temperature.

[0048] like Figure 8 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 As shown, a first limiting opening is provided at one end of the oil drain pipe 27 close to the mounting block 151, a second limiting opening is provided at the bottom of the first limiting opening, a limiting plate 37 is fixedly installed on one side of the first limiting opening and the second limiting opening and located inside the oil drain pipe 27, an oil drain opening is provided in the middle of the limiting plate 37, a moving block 38 is provided inside the oil drain opening on one side of the first limiting opening, a control board 39 is provided inside the oil drain opening on one side of the second limiting opening, a third electric push rod 40 is fixedly installed on one side of the moving block 38 and one side of the control board 39, the first limiting opening is located on the left side of the oil drain pipe 27, and the second limiting opening is located on the right side of the oil drain pipe 27, a plurality of electric telescopic rods 41 are fixedly installed on the inner wall at the bottom of the moving block 38, a cleaning rod 42 is fixedly installed on the top of the plurality of electric telescopic rods 41, an oil drain hole is provided at the bottom of the moving block 38, the third electric push rod 40 is respectively located on the left and right sides of the oil drain pipe 27, and one end thereof is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting block 151.

[0049] When the oil drain pipe 27 is clogged near one end of the oil separator 14, the electric telescopic rod 41 inside the moving block 38 is started to drive the cleaning rod 42 to move upward, so that one end of the oil drain pipe 27 is unblocked, and the unblocked impurities fall into the moving block 38 and are collected. At the same time, the oil drips downward through the oil drain hole onto the control plate 39 and the limit plate 37 at the bottom of the moving block 38. Then, the third electric push rod 40 on the left side of the oil drain pipe 27 inside the mounting block 151 is started to drive the moving block 38 to move, so that the moving block 38 passes through the first The limit opening is moved to one side of the oil drain pipe 27, exposing the middle part of the limit plate located above the inside of the oil drain pipe 27, allowing the oil to drip downwards, and then the third electric push rod 40 on the right side of the oil drain pipe 27 inside the mounting block 151 is started to drive the control plate 39 to move, so that the size of the oil drain opening in the middle part of the limit plate 37 below the moving block 38 is controlled, thereby facilitating the control of the oil drain speed of the oil drain pipe 27, thereby facilitating the smooth return of the oil from the compressor 12, improving the use effect of the compressor 12, and improving the use effect of the direct cooling machine.

[0050] Working principle: When the energy storage system is in use and generates heat, the compressor 12 is started to draw in the refrigerant gas and compress it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas is transported to the inside of the second connecting pipe 9 through the second delivery pipe 11. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas is facilitated to improve the refrigeration efficiency through heat exchange through the temperature recovery device 10. The gas after heat exchange is transported to the inside of the condenser 5 through the connecting pipe 6 and contacts with the outside air. Then the heat dissipation fan 3 is started to dissipate heat and cool into high-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid enters the inside of the third pipeline through the connecting pipe 6 and the first delivery pipe 8. When the high-pressure liquid enters the expansion valve from the third pipeline, the pressure and temperature drop significantly due to the restriction of the expansion valve. The low-pressure and low-temperature refrigerant liquid enters the inside of the first pipeline and contacts with the battery plug-in cold plate inside the battery plug-in box, absorbs heat and evaporates, and becomes a low-pressure gas, thereby facilitating the control of the battery plug-in box cold plate temperature and facilitating the cooling of the battery plug-in box. When the ambient temperature is in the range of -40℃~+15℃, the direct cooling unit is powered off and long When the whole machine is parked for a period of time and is at the lowest permissible temperature, the four-way valve 16 is switched so that the low-pressure gas inside the first pipeline on the side of the battery pack socket is drawn into the compressor 12 again through the third delivery pipe 13, and the compressor 12 compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure gas and enters the second delivery pipe 11. The gas flows from the second delivery pipe 11 to the second connecting pipe 9, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the condenser 5 through the second connecting pipe 9 and the connecting pipe 6. The heat is released by heat dissipation and becomes a liquid refrigerant. The liquid refrigerant is then transported by the connecting pipe, the first connecting pipe 7 and the second connecting pipe 9, and the coil-type electric auxiliary heater is used to heat and liquefy. The coil is used to consume cold energy to reduce the defrosting shutdown hazard of the air-cooled condenser 5 under low temperature conditions. The liquefied refrigerant enters the expansion valve through the first delivery pipe 8 and the third pipeline, and the pressure and temperature are reduced. The refrigerant with reduced pressure and temperature enters the third pipeline, exchanges heat with the air in the cold plate of the battery plug board, absorbs the heat of the air in the cold plate of the battery plug board, thereby increasing the temperature in the battery pack plug box and achieving the purpose of heating.

[0051] When the gas inside the third delivery pipe 13 is delivered to the inside of the device body 17 through the intake pipe 18, the gas is passed through the filter plate 24 by the rotating baffle 20 to filter the oil in the gas. After the gas is filtered, it is delivered to the inside of the third delivery pipe 13 by the exhaust pipe 19. When the oil is filtered on the filter plate 24, the first motor 23 is started to drive the rotating shaft 22 and the rotating baffle 20 to rotate, and the rotating baffle 20 is rotated ninety degrees. The rotating baffle 20 rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state, so that the filter plate 24 rotates to a horizontal direction, so that the first electric push rod 28 and the movable plate 29 inside the groove rotate to a horizontal state, and the oil filtered on the filter plate 24 drips onto the rotating baffle 20 along the filter plate 24. When the rotating baffle 20 rotates to a vertical state, the first electric push rod 28 inside the groove is started at the same time to push the movable plate 29 to move, so that the rotating baffle 20 vibrates. The oil on the rotating baffle 20 drips downward, and the second motor 32 in the moving port on the right side of the filter plate 24 is started, so that the second motor 32 drives the movable rod 31 and the rotating plate 30 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 30 rotates to a state parallel to the filter plate 24, and at the same time, the second electric push rod 33 and the knocking plate 34 installed on one side of the rotating plate 30 rotate to a state perpendicular to the filter plate 24, and then the second electric push rod 33 is started to drive the knocking plate 34 to move in the direction of the filter plate 24, so that the knocking plate 34 knocks the filter plate 24, so that the residual oil on the filter plate 24 is vibrated, and the oil drips downward and is filtered again through the filter element 25, and is transported to the inside of the oil drain pipe 27 by the output pipe 26, and the moving block 38 and the control board 39 are driven to move by the third electric push rod 40, so as to make the oil drain pipe 27 unblocked, control the oil discharge speed of the oil drain pipe 27, and improve the oil return effect of the compressor 12.

[0052] When the oil drain pipe 27 shakes near one end of the oil separator 14, the first limiting plate 153 moves toward the inside of the moving groove, compressing the compression spring. The first limiting plate 153 drives the first rack 154 to move, so that the gear 157 drives the moving rod to rotate along the inner wall of the moving groove, thereby driving the second rack 155 to drive the second limiting plate 156 to move toward the side of the oil drain pipe 27, so that the compression spring on one side of the second limiting plate 156 is stretched, so that the second limiting plate 156 limits the oil drain pipe 27, which is convenient for improving the installation of one end of the oil drain pipe 27 and the oil separator 14, and improving stability. The sealing block 35 facilitates the stable connection between one end of the oil drain pipe 27 and the compressor 12. When the first limiting plate 153 close to the sealing block 35 moves toward the inside of the movable groove, the movable plate 36 connected to its bottom moves toward the inside of the connecting port, thereby compressing the connecting spring between the movable plate 36 and the sealing block 35, so that the connecting spring presses the sealing block 35, thereby improving the sealing performance between one end of the oil drain pipe 27 and the compressor, and preventing the oil drain pipe 27 from being improperly installed, which may cause the oil drain pipe 27 to break and cause a malfunction, thereby affecting the use of the compressor 12 and thus affecting the direct cooler's control over the battery cell temperature.

[0053] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them.
