Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of UPS power supply, and in particular to a UPS power supply with power supply environment detection and a control method thereof. Background Art

[0002] A UPS is a power conversion device that can provide emergency power support to critical equipment when the main power fails, voltage fluctuates or other power problems occur.

[0003] During the use of the UPS power supply, the battery will be charged when the AC power is connected, so that the battery power supply can be switched to the battery power supply in time when the power is cut off to provide emergency power support for the equipment. Since the AC power is mostly in a normal state under normal circumstances, the battery is in a standby state for a long time. The standby battery may be partially damaged due to environmental reasons when it has not been used for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly detect the power supply environment of the battery to avoid the emergency power supply of the equipment due to the damage of the battery when the battery is used in an emergency. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a UPS power supply with power environment detection and a control method thereof.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a UPS power supply with power environment detection, comprising a UPS power supply body, an inner box body being fixed inside the UPS power supply body, and further comprising:

[0006] A plurality of battery boxes are arranged in a linear array and are all installed inside the inner box body through a latching electrical connection assembly, and batteries are installed inside all the battery boxes;

[0007] A plurality of groups of connection covers are arranged one by one corresponding to the battery boxes except the topmost one, two of the connection covers form a group, fixed on the side wall of the inner box body, and electrically connected to the corresponding battery boxes through the locking electrical connection assembly;

[0008] A plurality of groups of elastic connectors are arranged one by one corresponding to the connection covers, installed on the inner wall of the UPS power supply body, and used for being electrically connected to the connection covers;

[0009] A power detection component, installed on the side wall of the inner box, for detecting the battery;

[0010] A control unit, configured to control the power supply detection component to start pushing the battery for replacement when the power supply detection component detects that the working performance of the battery is impaired;

[0011] The battery is installed inside the battery box. After the battery is installed, it is electrically connected to the snap-in electrical connection assembly on the battery box. The battery box is placed in a vertical array inside the inner box. When the battery box is installed, the snap-in electrical connection assembly is snap-fitted into the inside of the corresponding connection cover, so that the battery is electrically connected to the connection cover through the snap-in electrical connection assembly, thereby realizing the connection between the battery and the UPS power supply body;

[0012] The control unit controls the power detection component to start periodically. After the power detection component is started, it detects multiple batteries arranged in the vertical array in turn. When it is detected that the battery environment is normal, the power detection component continues to detect the next battery. When it is detected that the working performance of the battery is damaged, the control unit controls the power detection component to push the battery with damaged working performance out of the inner box body. Subsequently, under the control of the control unit, the locking electrical connection components on the remaining batteries above the detached battery start to shrink and cancel the locking effect, so that the remaining battery boxes above and the batteries therein move downward under the action of gravity to automatically replace the position of the detached battery box and the batteries therein, thereby realizing automatic replacement of the battery box and the batteries therein. Replacement is beneficial for regularly testing the battery when it is not used for a long time. When it is detected that the battery working performance is damaged, the battery can be automatically replaced, which is beneficial to avoid the battery being damaged after being not used for a long time, causing the battery to be difficult to support the load of the UPS power supply body when the UPS power supply body bypass switches to use the battery, thereby causing a safety hazard. By connecting multiple batteries in parallel, when the UPS power supply body bypass switching is required during the battery testing process, the bypass switching of the UPS power supply body will not be interfered with during the battery replacement process, and after the replacement is completed, all batteries are added in parallel to restore the initial battery capacity, which is beneficial to the normal operation of the UPS power supply body.

[0013] Preferably, the power detection component comprises:

[0014] A lifting frame is slidably mounted on the side wall of the inner box body, and the lifting frame is driven to move vertically by a vertical driving assembly mounted on the side wall of the inner box body;

[0015] A detector, fixed on the side wall of the lifting frame;

[0016] Two first connection contacts are symmetrically fixed on the inner walls at both ends of the lifting frame, the first connection contacts are electrically connected to the detector, and when the first connection contacts move to align and connect with the connection cover, the detector detects the battery;

[0017] The vertical drive assembly can drive the lifting frame to move vertically, and the lifting frame drives the first connecting contact to move vertically when it moves. When the lifting frame moves to be aligned with the battery, the lifting frame pushes the second connecting contact to make way and disconnect the electrical connection, and then aligns and abuts the first connecting contact with the connecting cover, so that the first connecting contact is electrically connected to the connecting cover, thereby connecting the battery to the tester, and the tester detects the power environment of the battery, thereby realizing sequential detection of the batteries.

[0018] Preferably, the power detection component further comprises a pushing component for pushing the battery out of the inner box, and when the power detection component detects that the working performance of a certain battery is damaged, the pushing component pushes the damaged battery out of the inner box, so that the battery above the damaged battery can be replaced;

[0019] The pushing component comprises:

[0020] A second push plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting frame;

[0021] A clearance opening is formed through the side wall of the inner box body and is used to make way for the vertical movement of the second push plate. The second push plate is located inside the inner box body after passing through the clearance opening.

[0022] A plurality of groups of chute for making way are arranged one by one corresponding to the plurality of battery boxes, and are opened on the side wall of the inner box body in a linear array to make way for the horizontal movement of the second push plate;

[0023] A horizontal driving assembly, mounted on the side wall of the lifting frame, and used for driving the second push plate to move horizontally;

[0024] The lifting frame can drive the second push plate to move vertically, and the giving way opening gives way to the vertical movement of the second push plate. When it is detected that the working performance of the battery is damaged, the control unit controls the horizontal driving component to start, and after the horizontal driving component is started, it drives the second push plate to move horizontally. The giving way slot can give way to the horizontal movement of the second push plate. After the second push plate moves horizontally, it pushes the battery with damaged working performance to move, so that the battery is pushed out of the inner box, thereby realizing the push replacement of the battery.

[0025] Preferably, it also includes:

[0026] A plurality of pressure sensors are arranged one by one corresponding to the battery boxes and are respectively fixed to the bottom of the corresponding battery boxes;

[0027] The control unit is further used to control the locking electrical connection component to start canceling the locking connection when the pressure sensor is no longer under pressure, and to control the locking electrical connection component to start re-locking connection when the pressure sensor is under pressure;

[0028] After a battery is pushed out, the pressure sensor at the bottom of the battery box above the battery disappears under pressure. After the pressure sensor disappears under pressure, the control unit controls the corresponding battery box to contract and cancel the locking, so that the battery box and the battery cancel the locking and move downward under the action of gravity, so that the battery box and the battery move downward for replacement. When the battery box and the battery move downward and fall on the top of the battery box below, the pressure sensor at the bottom of the battery box is pressurized, and the control unit controls the corresponding battery box The electrical connection assembly on the battery box extends out of the locking position again to restore the connection of the battery. Subsequently, the battery box above the battery box continues to move downward in the same way until the topmost battery box as a spare moves downward for replacement together with the battery, thereby realizing battery replacement, which is conducive to automatically replacing the detached battery with the spare battery, thereby facilitating the detection and replacement of the battery, thereby avoiding the total capacity of all batteries being reduced due to the damage of the battery working performance, thereby shortening the power supply time of the UPS power supply body, thereby affecting the normal operation of the UPS power supply body.

[0029] Preferably, the latching electrical connection assembly comprises:

[0030] Two extension boxes are symmetrically fixed inside the empty slots opened at both ends of the battery box, and the bottoms of the two extension boxes are both provided with a clearance slot;

[0031] Two moving boxes are respectively slidably mounted inside the two extension boxes, and connectors electrically connected to the batteries are fixedly mounted inside the two moving boxes, and inclined guide grooves are provided at the bottoms of the two moving boxes;

[0032] Two electric push rods are respectively fixed inside the two empty slots, the ends of the telescopic rods of the two electric push rods are fixed with first push plates, the tops of the two first push plates are fixed with sliding contacts, and the two sliding contacts pass through the give way slots and are slidably connected to the inside of the inclined guide slots;

[0033] After the electric push rod is started, it can drive the first push plate to move through the telescopic rod, and the first push plate drives the sliding contact to move. The sliding contact passes through the give way slot and slides inside the inclined guide slot. Since the sliding contact cannot move perpendicular to the give way slot, the inclined guide slot is pushed to move under the pushing action of the sliding contact, so as to push the inclined guide slot to drive the moving box to extend along the inside of the extension box, thereby driving the connecting head to extend, so that the connecting head can be inserted into the inside of the connecting cover to realize electrical connection and positioning support after being extended. When the moving box drives the connecting head to retract and cancel the positioning, the electrical connection can be cancelled and the battery box can move downward under the action of gravity.

[0034] Preferably, it also includes:

[0035] A plurality of telescopic shielding plates are arranged in a vertical linear array and are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the battery boxes;

[0036] Multiple groups of lifting platforms are slidably installed inside the first groove of the side wall of the UPS power supply body, and are arranged one by one corresponding to the telescopic shielding plates. Two lifting platforms form a group. The telescopic shielding plates are rotatably installed between the corresponding group of lifting platforms. A second spring is fixed between the bottom of each lifting platform and the first groove;

[0037] A plurality of support platforms are slidably mounted inside the second groove of the side wall of the UPS power supply body, and a third spring is fixed between the bottom of the support platform and the second groove;

[0038] The retractable shielding plate can shield the installed battery box. When the battery box is pushed out of the inner box body, the battery box pushes the retractable shielding plate to flip. The rotating shaft of the retractable shielding plate is located at the bottom and thus flips downward. The retractable shielding plate flips with the connection position of the lifting platform as the axis, so that the retractable shielding plate is supported by the support platform after flipping. Subsequently, when the battery box continues to be pushed, the battery box moves to the top of the retractable shielding plate, so that the battery box can push the retractable shielding plate to squeeze the lifting platform and the support platform. The lifting platform moves downward to squeeze the second spring to make way, and the support platform moves downward to squeeze the third spring to make way, so that the retractable shielding plate moves downward to make way until the upward surface is flush with the bottom of the battery box, thereby supporting the discharged battery box, which is beneficial to avoid the battery box that is pushed out of the inner box body from falling and hitting after being moved out, thereby causing a safety hazard, thereby helping to improve the safety during the battery replacement process.

[0039] Preferably, it also includes:

[0040] A temperature sensor is installed inside the battery box and is used to detect the working environment of the battery;

[0041] The control unit is also used to control the power supply detection component to detect the corresponding storage battery when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature exceeds a predetermined value;

[0042] The temperature sensor can detect the internal temperature of the battery box, and thus detect the operating temperature of the battery. When it is detected that the operating temperature of the battery exceeds the preset temperature, the control unit controls the power detection component to start and detect the corresponding battery. Therefore, when the UPS power supply body switches to bypass operation, the battery operation can still be detected, so as to realize the detection of the battery and the replacement of the battery with damaged working performance, which is beneficial to the stable operation of the UPS power supply body.

[0043] In a second aspect, a control method for a UPS power supply with power environment detection is provided, the control method comprising the following steps:

[0044] The control unit obtains power supply abnormality information from the power supply detection component;

[0045] The control unit generates replacement control information according to the power supply abnormality information, and the replacement control information is used to control the start-up of the pushing component;

[0046] The control unit sends the replacement control information to the pushing component to control the pushing component to start pushing the corresponding storage battery out of the inner box;

[0047] When the power detection component detects that the working performance of the battery is impaired, the power detection component generates power abnormality information and sends the power abnormality information to the control unit. After receiving the power abnormality information, the control unit generates replacement control information according to the power abnormality information. The control unit then sends the replacement control information to the pushing component to control the pushing component to start pushing the corresponding battery out of the inner box, thereby realizing the detection and replacement of the battery.

[0048] Preferably, it also includes:

[0049] The control unit obtains pressure loss information from the pressure sensor;

[0050] The control unit generates contraction control information according to the pressure loss information, and the contraction control information is used to control the locking electrical connection component to start contraction and cancel the locking;

[0051] The control unit sends the contraction control information to the locking electrical connection component to control the locking electrical connection component to start contraction and cancel the locking;

[0052] After a battery is detached, the pressure on the pressure sensor at the bottom of the battery box above the battery disappears, and pressure loss information is generated after the pressure on the pressure sensor disappears. The pressure loss information is sent to the control unit. After receiving the pressure loss information, the control unit generates contraction control information according to the pressure loss information. Subsequently, the control unit sends the contraction control information to the locking electrical connection component to control the locking electrical connection component to start contraction to cancel the locking, so that the upper battery can move downward under the action of gravity for replacement.

[0053] Preferably, it also includes:

[0054] The control unit acquires high temperature information from the temperature sensor;

[0055] The control unit generates detection control information according to the high temperature information, and the detection control information is used to control the power detection component to start detecting the battery inside the corresponding battery box;

[0056] The control unit sends the detection control information to the power detection component to control the power detection component to start detecting the battery inside the corresponding battery box;

[0057] The temperature sensor detects the operating temperature inside the battery box. When it is detected that the operating temperature of the battery box exceeds a predetermined temperature, the temperature sensor generates high temperature information and sends the high temperature information to the control unit. After receiving the high temperature information, the control unit generates detection control information according to the high temperature information. Subsequently, the control unit sends the detection control information to the power detection component to control the power detection component to start detecting the batteries inside the corresponding battery box.

[0058] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: through the setting of the power supply detection component, when it is detected that the working performance of the battery is damaged, the battery can be automatically replaced, which is helpful to avoid the situation where the battery is damaged after being not used for a long time, causing the battery to be difficult to support the load of the UPS power supply body when the UPS power supply body bypass is switched to use the battery, thereby causing a safety hazard.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0072] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.

[0073] like Figures 2 to 12 A UPS power supply with power environment detection shown in the figure includes a UPS power supply body 1, an inner box 101 is fixed inside the UPS power supply body 1, and also includes:

[0074] A plurality of battery boxes 2 are arranged in a linear array and are all installed inside the inner box 101 through a latching electrical connection assembly, and batteries 3 are installed inside all battery boxes 2;

[0075] Multiple groups of connection covers 401 are arranged one by one corresponding to the battery boxes 2 except the top, two connection covers 401 form a group, fixed on the side wall of the inner box 101, and electrically connected to the corresponding battery boxes 2 through the locking electrical connection assembly;

[0076] A plurality of sets of elastic connectors are arranged one by one corresponding to the connection cover 401 and are installed on the inner wall of the UPS power supply body 1 for electrically connecting with the connection cover 401;

[0077] A power detection component, installed on the side wall of the inner box 101, for detecting the battery 3;

[0078] A control unit, used to control the power detection component to start pushing the battery 3 to be replaced when the power detection component detects that the working performance of the battery 3 is damaged;

[0079] During the use of UPS power supply, the battery will be charged when the mains is connected, so that the battery can be switched to power supply in time when the power is off to provide emergency power support for the equipment. Since the mains is in a normal state in most cases, the battery is in a standby state for a long time. The standby battery may be partially damaged due to environmental reasons when it has not been used for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly detect the power supply environment of the battery to avoid the situation where the battery is damaged and the emergency power supply of the equipment is affected when the battery is used in an emergency;

[0080] This embodiment of the present invention can solve the above problems. The specific implementation method is as follows: the battery 3 is installed inside the battery box 2. After the battery 3 is installed, it is electrically connected to the clamping electrical connection assembly on the battery box 2. The battery boxes 2 are arranged in a vertical array inside the inner box 101. The topmost battery box 2 is reserved. When other battery boxes 2 are installed, the clamping electrical connection assembly is inserted into the corresponding connection cover 401, so that the battery 3 is electrically connected to the connection cover 401 through the clamping electrical connection assembly, thereby realizing the connection between the battery 3 and the UPS power supply body 1;

[0081] The control unit controls the power detection component to start periodically. After the power detection component is started, it detects the multiple batteries 3 arranged in the vertical array in turn. When it is detected that the environment of the battery 3 is normal, the power detection component continues to detect the next battery 3. When it is detected that the working performance of the battery 3 is damaged, the control unit controls the power detection component to push the battery 3 with damaged working performance out of the inner box 101. Subsequently, under the control of the control unit, the locking electrical connection components on the remaining batteries 3 above the detached battery 3 start to shrink and cancel the locking effect, so that the remaining battery boxes 2 above and the batteries 3 therein move downward together under the action of gravity to automatically replace the position of the detached battery box 2 and the batteries 3 therein, thereby realizing automatic replacement of the battery box 2 and the batteries 3 therein. Replacement is beneficial for regularly testing the battery 3 when the battery 3 is not used for a long time. When it is detected that the working performance of the battery 3 is damaged, the battery 3 can be automatically replaced, which is beneficial for avoiding the situation that the battery 3 is damaged after being not used for a long time, causing the battery 3 to be difficult to support the load of the UPS power supply body 1 when the UPS power supply body 1 bypasses and switches to use the battery 3, thereby causing a safety hazard. By connecting multiple batteries 3 in parallel, when the UPS power supply body 1 needs to bypass switch during the detection of the battery 3, the bypass switching of the UPS power supply body 1 will not be interfered with during the replacement of the battery 3, and after the replacement is completed, all the batteries 3 are added in parallel to restore the initial battery capacity, which is beneficial to the normal operation of the UPS power supply body 1.

[0082] As an optional embodiment, two elastic connectors are grouped together, and the elastic connectors include:

[0085] When the battery 3 is working normally, under the elastic action of the first spring 702, the second connecting contact 7 is pushed against the connecting cover 401 to achieve electrical connection with the connecting cover 401, and the extending adjustment rod 701 can support the horizontal movement of the second connecting contact 7 to prevent the second connecting contact 7 from being offset during the horizontal movement. When the power detection component moves vertically to detect the battery 3, when the power detection component moves to a certain battery 3 position for alignment and detection, it can push the rounded corner of the second connecting contact 7, so that the second connecting contact 7 moves under the pushing action, so that the second connecting contact 7 pushes the first spring 702 to compress, so that the second connecting contact 7 can make way for the power detection component, and can disconnect the electrical connection between the battery 3 and the UPS power supply body 1 during the detection process, thereby achieving power detection of the battery 3.

When the first connection contacts 601 are moved to align and connect with the connection cover 401, the detector 6 detects the battery 3.

[0090] The vertical drive assembly can drive the lifting frame 5 to move vertically. When the lifting frame 5 moves, it drives the first connecting contact 601 to move vertically. When the lifting frame 5 moves to be aligned with the battery 3, the lifting frame 5 pushes the second connecting contact 7 to make way and disconnect the electrical connection, and then aligns and abuts the first connecting contact 601 with the connecting cover 401, so that the first connecting contact 601 is electrically connected to the connecting cover 401, so that the battery 3 is connected to the detector 6, and the detector 6 detects the power environment of the battery 3, thereby realizing the sequential detection of the battery 3.

[0095] After the first motor 504 is started, it drives the turbine 503 connected thereto to rotate through the output shaft. After the turbine 503 rotates, it drives the worm gear meshing therewith to rotate. The worm gear drives the first screw 502 to rotate. After the first screw 502 rotates, it drives the threaded sleeve 501 threadedly connected thereto to move vertically, thereby realizing the vertical drive of the lifting frame 5.

[0096] As an optional embodiment, the power detection component further includes a pushing component for pushing the battery 3 out of the box. When the power detection component detects that the working performance of a battery 3 is damaged, the damaged battery 3 is pushed out of the inner box 101 by the pushing component, so that the battery 3 above the damaged battery 3 can be replaced.

[0097] The push components include:

[0098] The second push plate 505 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lifting frame 5;

[0099] The clearance opening 510 is formed through the side wall of the inner box body 101 and is used to make way for the vertical movement of the second push plate 505. The second push plate 505 is located inside the inner box body 101 after passing through the clearance opening 510.

[0100] A plurality of groups of chute for giving way are arranged one by one with the plurality of battery boxes 2 and are opened on the side wall of the inner box body 101 in a linear array to give way to the horizontal movement of the second push plate 505;

[0102] The lifting frame 5 can drive the second push plate 505 to move vertically, and the giving way opening 510 gives way to the vertical movement of the second push plate 505. When it is detected that the working performance of the battery 3 is damaged, the control unit controls the horizontal drive component to start, and after the horizontal drive component is started, it drives the second push plate 505 to move horizontally. The giving way slot can give way to the horizontal movement of the second push plate 505. After the second push plate 505 moves horizontally, it pushes the battery 3 with damaged working performance to move, so that the battery 3 is pushed out of the interior of the inner box 101, thereby realizing the push replacement of the battery 3.

[0103] As an optional embodiment, the horizontal driving assembly includes:

[0104] Two second screw rods 506 are mounted on the inner walls of the lifting frame 5 at both ends in a centrally symmetrical manner, and the second screw rods 506 are threadedly connected to the ends of the second push plate 505;

[0105] Two synchronous wheels 507 are respectively fixed to one end of two second screw rods 506 penetrating through the lifting frame 5;

[0109] After the second motor 509 is started, it drives the driving wheel connected to it to rotate through the output shaft. After the driving wheel rotates, it drives the synchronous belt 508 to transmit. The synchronous belt 508 drives the synchronous wheel 507 to rotate. After the synchronous wheel 507 rotates, it drives the second screw 506 connected to it to rotate.

[0111] A plurality of pressure sensors 11 are arranged one by one corresponding to the battery boxes 2 and are respectively fixed to the bottom of the corresponding battery boxes 2;

[0112] The control unit is also used to control the locking electrical connection component to start canceling the locking connection when the pressure sensor 11 is no longer under pressure, and to control the locking electrical connection component to start re-locking connection when the pressure sensor 11 is under pressure;

[0113] After a battery 3 is pushed out, the pressure sensor 11 at the bottom of the battery box 2 above the battery 3 is compressed and disappears. After the pressure sensor 11 is compressed and disappears, the control unit controls the corresponding electrical connection component on the battery box 2 to contract and cancel the clamping position, so that the battery box 2 and the battery 3 are canceled and move downward under the action of gravity, so that the battery box 2 and the battery 3 move downward for replacement. When the battery box 2 and the battery 3 move downward and fall on the top of the battery box 2 below, the pressure sensor 11 at the bottom of the battery box 2 is compressed, and the control unit controls the corresponding electrical connection component on the battery box 2 The card position is extended again to restore the connection of the battery 3, and then the battery box 2 above the battery box 2 continues to move downward in the same way, until the topmost spare battery box 2 moves downward together with the battery 3 for replacement, thereby realizing the replacement of the battery 3, which is beneficial for automatically replacing the detached battery 3 with the spare battery 3, thereby facilitating the detection and replacement of the battery 3, thereby helping to avoid the total capacity of all the batteries 3 being reduced due to the working performance of the battery 3 being damaged, thereby causing the power supply time of the UPS power supply body 1 to be shortened, thereby affecting the normal operation of the UPS power supply body 1.

[0114] As an optional embodiment, the latching electrical connection assembly includes:

[0115] Two extension boxes 201 are symmetrically fixed inside the empty slots opened at both ends of the battery box 2, and the bottoms of the two extension boxes 201 are both provided with a clearance slot 204;

[0116] Two moving boxes 202 are slidably mounted inside the two extension boxes 201, respectively. Connectors 4 electrically connected to the storage battery 3 are fixedly mounted inside the two moving boxes 202, and inclined guide grooves 203 are provided at the bottom of the two moving boxes 202;

[0117] Two electric push rods 207 are fixed inside the two empty slots respectively. The ends of the telescopic rods of the two electric push rods 207 are fixed with first push plates 206. The tops of the two first push plates 206 are fixed with sliding contacts 205. The two sliding contacts 205 pass through the clearance slots 204 and are slidably connected to the inside of the inclined guide slots 203.

[0118] After the electric push rod 207 is started, it can drive the first push plate 206 to move through the telescopic rod, and the first push plate 206 drives the sliding contact 205 to move. The sliding contact 205 passes through the give way slot 204 and slides inside the inclined guide slot 203. Since the sliding contact 205 cannot move perpendicular to the give way slot 204, the inclined guide slot 203 is pushed to move under the pushing action of the sliding contact 205, so as to push the inclined guide slot 203 to drive the moving box 202 to extend along the inside of the extension box 201, thereby driving the connecting head 4 to extend, so that after the connecting head 4 is extended, it can be inserted into the inside of the connecting cover 401 to realize electrical connection and positioning support. When the moving box 202 drives the connecting head 4 to retract and cancel the positioning, the electrical connection can be cancelled and the battery box 2 can move downward under the action of gravity.

[0119] As an optional embodiment, it also includes:

[0120] A plurality of telescopic shielding plates 9 are arranged in a vertical linear array and are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the battery boxes 2;

[0121] Multiple groups of lifting platforms 8 are slidably installed inside the first groove of the side wall of the UPS power supply body 1, and are arranged one by one with the telescopic shielding plates 9. Two lifting platforms 8 form a group, and the telescopic shielding plates 9 are rotatably installed between the corresponding group of lifting platforms 8. The bottom of the lifting platform 8 is fixed with a second spring 801 between the first groove;

[0122] Multiple groups of support platforms 10 are slidably mounted inside the second groove of the side wall of the UPS power supply body 1, and a third spring 1001 is fixed between the bottom of the support platform 10 and the second groove;

[0123] The telescopic shielding plate 9 can shield the installed battery box 2. When the battery box 2 is pushed out of the inner box body 101, the battery box 2 pushes the telescopic shielding plate 9 to flip over. The rotating shaft of the telescopic shielding plate 9 is located at the bottom and flips downward. The telescopic shielding plate 9 flips with the connection position of the lifting platform 8 as the axis, so that the telescopic shielding plate 9 is supported by the support platform 10 after flipping. Then, when the battery box 2 continues to be pushed, the battery box 2 moves to the top of the telescopic shielding plate 9, so that the battery box 2 can push the telescopic shielding plate 9 to squeeze the lifting platform 8. The lowering platform 8 and the supporting platform 10, the lifting platform 8 moves downward to squeeze the second spring 801 to make way, and the supporting platform 10 moves downward to squeeze the third spring 1001 to make way, so that the telescopic shielding plate 9 moves downward to make way until the upward surface is flush with the bottom of the battery box 2, thereby supporting the discharged battery box 2, which is beneficial to avoid the battery box 2 that is pushed out of the inner box body 101 from falling and causing a collision after being moved out, thereby causing a safety hazard, thereby helping to improve the safety of the battery 3 during replacement.

[0124] As an optional embodiment, it also includes:

[0125] A temperature sensor is installed inside the battery box 2 and is used to detect the working environment of the battery 3;

[0126] The control unit is also used to control the power supply detection component to detect the corresponding storage battery 3 when the temperature sensor detects that the temperature exceeds a predetermined value;

[0127] The temperature sensor can detect the internal temperature of the battery box 2, thereby detecting the working temperature of the battery 3. When it is detected that the working temperature of the battery 3 exceeds the predetermined temperature, the control unit controls the power detection component to start and detect the corresponding battery 3. Therefore, when the UPS power supply body 1 switches to bypass operation, the operation of the battery 3 can still be detected, so as to realize the detection of the battery 3 and the replacement of the battery 3 with damaged working performance, which is beneficial to the stable operation of the UPS power supply body 1.

[0128] like Figure 1 A control method for a UPS power supply with power environment detection is shown, and the control method comprises the following steps:

[0129] The control unit obtains power supply abnormality information from the power supply detection component;

[0130] The control unit generates replacement control information according to the power supply abnormality information, and the replacement control information is used to control the start-up of the push component;

[0131] The control unit sends the replacement control information to the pushing component to control the pushing component to start pushing the corresponding storage battery 3 out of the inner box 101;

[0132] When the power detection component detects that the working performance of the battery 3 is impaired, the power detection component generates power abnormality information and sends the power abnormality information to the control unit. After receiving the power abnormality information, the control unit generates replacement control information according to the power abnormality information. Then the control unit sends the replacement control information to the pushing component to control the pushing component to start pushing the corresponding battery 3 out of the inner box 101, thereby realizing the detection and replacement of the battery 3.

[0133] As an optional embodiment, it also includes:

[0134] The control unit obtains the pressure loss information from the pressure sensor 11;

[0135] The control unit generates contraction control information according to the pressure loss information, and the contraction control information is used to control the locking electrical connection component to start contraction and cancel the locking;

[0136] The control unit sends the contraction control information to the locking electrical connection component to control the locking electrical connection component to start contraction and cancel the locking;

[0137] After a certain battery 3 is detached, the pressure on the pressure sensor 11 at the bottom of the battery box 2 above the battery 3 disappears, and the pressure sensor 11 generates pressure loss information after the pressure disappears, and sends the pressure loss information to the control unit. After receiving the pressure loss information, the control unit generates contraction control information according to the pressure loss information, and then the control unit sends the contraction control information to the locking electrical connection component to control the locking electrical connection component to start contraction to cancel the locking, so that the upper battery 3 can move downward under the action of gravity to be replaced.

[0138] As an optional embodiment, it also includes:

[0139] The control unit obtains high temperature information from the temperature sensor;

[0140] The control unit generates detection control information according to the high temperature information, and the detection control information is used to control the power detection component to start detecting the battery 3 inside the corresponding battery box 2;

[0141] The control unit sends the detection control information to the power detection component to control the power detection component to start detecting the battery 3 inside the corresponding battery box 2;

[0142] The temperature sensor detects the operating temperature inside the battery box 2. When it is detected that the operating temperature of the battery box 2 exceeds the predetermined temperature, the temperature sensor generates high temperature information and sends the high temperature information to the control unit. After receiving the high temperature information, the control unit generates detection control information according to the high temperature information. Then the control unit sends the detection control information to the power detection component to control the power detection component to start detecting the battery 3 inside the corresponding battery box 2.

[0143] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the battery 3 is installed inside the battery box 2. After the battery 3 is installed, it is electrically connected to the clamping electrical connection assembly on the battery box 2. The battery box 2 is placed in a vertical array inside the inner box body 101. When the battery box 2 is installed, the clamping electrical connection assembly is clamped and inserted into the corresponding connection cover 401, so that the battery 3 is electrically connected to the connection cover 401 through the clamping electrical connection assembly, thereby realizing the connection between the battery 3 and the UPS power supply body 1;

[0144] The control unit controls the power detection component to start regularly. After the power detection component is started, the multiple batteries 3 arranged in the vertical array are detected in turn. When it is detected that the environment of the battery 3 is normal, the power detection component continues to detect the next battery 3. When it is detected that the working performance of the battery 3 is damaged, the control unit controls the power detection component to push the battery 3 with damaged working performance out of the inner box 101. Subsequently, under the control of the control unit, the locking electrical connection components on the remaining batteries 3 above the detached battery 3 start to shrink and cancel the locking effect, so that the remaining batteries 3 above move downward under the action of gravity to automatically replace the position of the detached battery 3, thereby realizing automatic replacement of the battery 3, which is beneficial to the battery 3. When not in use for a long time, the battery 3 can be inspected regularly, and when it is detected that the working performance of the battery 3 is damaged, the battery 3 can be automatically replaced, which helps to avoid the situation where the battery 3 is damaged after not being used for a long time, causing the battery 3 to be difficult to support the load of the UPS power supply body 1 when the UPS power supply body 1 bypasses and switches to use the battery 3, thereby causing a safety hazard. By connecting multiple batteries 3 in parallel, when the UPS power supply body 1 needs to bypass switch during the inspection of the battery 3, the bypass switching of the UPS power supply body 1 will not be interfered with during the replacement of the battery 3, and after the replacement is completed, all the batteries 3 are added in parallel and restored to the initial battery capacity, which is beneficial to the normal operation of the UPS power supply body 1.
