[0026] A subsea energy storage control system 100, see Figures 1 to 3, which comprises a cylindrical shell 10, end covers 20 provided at both sides of the cylindrical shell 10 and a bottom bracket 30 for supporting the cylindrical shell 10; the inner cavity of the cylindrical shell comprises a battery module 40, a first circulating liquid path for heat exchange with the battery module 40, an inverter 50 connected to the battery module 40, a second circulating liquid path for heat exchange with the inverter 50, and a third circulating liquid path for heat exchange with external seawater 80; The first circulating liquid circuit is connected in series with a first liquid pump 16 and a first heat exchange plate 11; the second circulating liquid circuit is connected in series with a second liquid pump 17 and a second heat exchange plate 12; the third circulating liquid circuit is connected in series with a third liquid pump 18 and a third heat exchange plate 13; the first circulating liquid circuit and the second circulating liquid circuit are connected in parallel to the third circulating liquid circuit; The output liquid pipeline and the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 are respectively connected to the third heat exchange plate 13, and the first liquid pump 16 is used to provide power for the circulation of the liquid medium in the first circulating liquid circuit; the output liquid pipeline and the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 are respectively connected to the third heat exchange plate 13, and the second liquid pump 17 is used to provide power for the circulation of the liquid medium in the second circulating liquid circuit; the third heat exchange plate 13 includes a plurality of output liquid pipelines and a plurality of input liquid pipelines, one of the output liquid pipelines of the third heat exchange plate 13 is connected to the external seawater 80, and one of the input liquid pipelines of the third heat exchange plate 13 is connected to the external seawater 80 through the third liquid pump 18, and the high-temperature liquid medium of the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12 is heat-exchanged with the low-temperature liquid medium in the third heat exchange plate 13 through the liquid output pipeline.

[0027] The above means that both ends of the cylindrical shell 10 are provided with openable end covers 20, and the connection between the end covers 20 and the cylindrical shell 10 can be bolted and sealed. The bottom of the cylindrical shell 10 is provided with a bottom bracket 30 for supporting the stable placement of the submarine energy storage control system 100 on the seabed. The inner cavity of the cylindrical shell 10 is provided with a battery module 40 and an inverter 50. Since the battery module 40 and the inverter 50 are prone to heat during the charging and discharging process, for the safety and durability of the battery module 40 and the inverter 50 during charging and discharging, a first heat exchange plate 11 is provided between the battery modules 40 for heat exchange with the battery module 40, and a second heat exchange plate 12 is provided on the inverter 50 for heat exchange with the inverter 50.

[0028] See also Figure 3The submarine energy storage control system 100 of this embodiment has a first working mode. Specifically, the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected in series with a first liquid pump 16 to form a first circulating liquid circuit, and the second heat exchanger is connected in series with a second liquid pump 17 to form a second circulating liquid circuit. The first circulating liquid circuit and the second circulating liquid circuit are connected in parallel to the third heat exchange plate 13 for heat exchange. The third heat exchange plate 13 is connected to the external seawater through the third liquid pump 18 to form a third circulating liquid circuit. It is worth further explaining that the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12 transport the high-temperature liquid medium to the third heat exchange plate 13, and perform heat exchange with the low-temperature liquid medium in the third heat exchange plate 13, and then the third heat exchange plate 13 transports the low-temperature liquid medium back to the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12 respectively. In a specific embodiment, the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 can be connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 through the second multi-way valve 21; the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 can be connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 through the third multi-way valve 22, and the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 can be connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 through the first multi-way valve 19.

[0029] One of the input liquid pipelines of the third heat exchange plate 13 is also connected to the external low-temperature seawater through the third liquid pump 18, and the low-temperature seawater is sucked into the third heat exchange plate 13 as a liquid medium. The input liquid pipeline may be provided with a filter device 70; and the high-temperature seawater is output to the external seawater 80 through an output liquid pipeline. Therefore, the third heat exchange plate 13 forms a third liquid circuit with the external seawater 80 through the third liquid pump 18. It can be understood that the third heat exchange plate 13 includes multiple output liquid pipelines and multiple input liquid pipelines.

[0030] Therefore, the seabed energy storage control system 100 of the present application can simultaneously perform heat exchange and cooling on the heated battery module 40 and the converter 50, thereby improving the working efficiency of the seabed energy storage control system 100, improving the safety of the seabed energy storage control system 100, and being more conducive to the promotion and application of the seabed energy storage control system 100.

[0031] In this embodiment, a plurality of multi-way valves are further included, and the plurality of multi-way valves include a first multi-way valve 19, a second multi-way valve 21, and a third multi-way valve 22. The output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected to (another liquid inlet of) the third heat exchange plate 13 through the first multi-way valve 19, and the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is also connected to the liquid input pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 through the switching of the first multi-way valve 19. The output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to (another liquid inlet of) the third heat exchange plate 13 through the second multi-way valve 21, and the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is also switched to connect to the third multi-way valve 22 through the second multi-way valve 21, and the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected to the second heat exchange plate 12 through the third multi-way valve 22; When the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected to the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 by switching the first multi-way valve 19, the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 through the third multi-way valve 22 by switching the second multi-way valve 21, so as to form a liquid medium circulation loop between the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12; The first circulating liquid circuit further includes a heating device 24 , which is disposed between the liquid outlet of the first heat exchange plate 11 and the first multi-way valve 19 , and is used to heat the liquid medium outputted from the first heat exchange plate 11 .

[0032] The above means that the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 can be connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 or the second heat exchange plate 12 through the switching of the first multi-way valve 19, that is, the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 can be connected to the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 or the input liquid pipeline of the third heat exchange plate 13 through the first multi-way valve 19. The output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 or the third multi-way valve 22 through the switching of the second multi-way valve 21, and the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 or the second multi-way valve 21 through the switching of the third multi-way valve 22.

[0033] Therefore, the submarine energy storage control system 100 of this embodiment has a second working mode. Figure 4Even in a low-temperature environment with low seawater temperature, when the working environment temperature of the battery module 40 is too low, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the battery module 40, the first multi-way valve 19 can be switched so that the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected to the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12. The first heat exchange plate 11 provides heat for heating the battery module 40 at this time, and the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the third multi-way valve 22 through the switching of the second multi-way valve 21. The third multi-way valve 22 is then switched to connect the second multi-way valve 21 to the first heat exchange plate 11, that is, the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected to the second multi-way valve 21 through the switching of the third multi-way valve 22. Therefore, the lower temperature liquid medium of the first heat exchange plate 11 flows back to the second heat exchange plate 12, and the second heat exchange plate 12 then absorbs the heat generated by the converter 50 to heat the liquid medium. Therefore, a cycle is formed in which the second heat exchange plate 12 outputs high-temperature liquid medium to the first heat exchange plate 11 , and then the first heat exchange plate 11 outputs low-temperature liquid medium to the second heat exchange plate 12 .

[0034] In addition, in a lower temperature submarine environment, if the temperature of the high-temperature liquid medium output from the second heat exchange plate 12 to the first heat exchange plate 11 is not high enough, the liquid medium output from the second heat exchange plate 12 can be reheated by the heating device 24 disposed between the first heat exchange plate 11 and the first multi-way valve 19. It can be understood that in the second working mode, the third liquid pump 18 does not work, that is, the third circulating liquid circuit does not work.

[0035] In this embodiment, there are two third heat exchange plates 13, one of the input liquid pipelines of one of the third heat exchange plates 13 is connected to the external seawater 80 through the third liquid pump 18, and one of the output liquid pipelines of the other third heat exchange plate 13 is connected to the external seawater 80, and the two third heat exchange plates 13 are connected through a pipeline. Example 2

[0036] In this example, see Figure 5 , further comprising a fourth heat exchange plate 14 and a refrigeration device, wherein the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 through the fourth heat exchange plate 14; The input liquid pipeline of the fourth heat exchange plate 14 is connected to the third heat exchange plate 13; The output liquid pipeline and the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 are connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 through the fourth heat exchange plate 14 respectively; The refrigeration device includes a fifth heat exchange plate 15 and a compressor 25, the output liquid pipeline and the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 are connected to the fourth heat exchange plate 14 through the fifth heat exchange plate 15, and the output liquid pipeline and the input liquid pipeline of the fifth heat exchange plate 15 are connected to the fourth heat exchange plate 14; The compressor 25 outputs refrigerant to cool the fifth heat exchange plate 15, and outputs the heated refrigerant to the fourth heat exchange plate 14 for heat exchange. After the fourth heat exchange plate 14 is cooled, the refrigerant flows back to the compressor 25 for compression and cooling, and the heating device 24 is turned off.

[0037] The above means that there is a third working mode, the output liquid pipeline and the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 are connected to the fourth heat exchange plate 14 through the fifth heat exchange plate 15 of the refrigeration device, and the input liquid pipeline of the fourth heat exchange plate 14 is connected to the third heat exchange plate 13, and the refrigerant of the refrigeration device is connected to the fifth heat exchange plate 15 through the pipeline to cool the high-temperature liquid medium from the first heat exchange plate 11, and then the heated refrigerant is output to the fourth heat exchange plate 14 through the pipeline for cooling, and finally the refrigerant is returned to the compressor 25 through the pipeline. The input liquid pipeline of the fourth heat exchange plate 14 is connected to the third heat exchange plate 13, so it can heat exchange and cool down with the third heat exchange plate 13, and the input liquid pipeline and the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 are connected to the fifth heat exchange plate 15, so the first heat exchange plate 11 can also heat exchange and cool down with the fifth heat exchange plate 15.

[0038] The input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 through the fourth heat exchange plate 14 , and the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the third heat exchange plate 13 .

[0039] It is worth further explaining that, in the third working mode, the output liquid pipeline and the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 are swapped relative to the second working mode (changing the operating direction of the first liquid pump 16). Specifically, the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected to the input liquid pipeline of the fifth heat exchange plate 15 through the switching of the third multi-way valve 22, the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected to the fifth heat exchange plate 15 through the switching of the first multi-way valve 19, and the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the input liquid pipeline of the third heat exchange plate 13 through the switching of the second multi-way valve 21. The heating device 24 does not work at this time, and the third liquid pump 18 is turned on. This third working mode can be set for the case where the seawater environment temperature is high on the seabed.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first multi-way valve 19 is a first three-way valve, the third multi-way valve 22 is a third three-way valve, and the first three-way valve and the third three-way valve are respectively arranged in the output liquid pipeline and the input liquid pipeline between the first heat exchange plate 11 and the fifth heat exchange plate 15.

[0041] In this example, see Figure 6 , further comprising a fourth four-way valve 23, the second multi-way valve 21 is a second four-way valve, the first three-way valve is switched to connect with the fourth four-way valve 23, and the third three-way valve is switched to connect with the second four-way valve; Open the a port, b port, c port and d port of the second four-way valve, so that the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12 are connected in parallel to the output liquid pipeline of the fourth heat exchange plate 14 through the fourth four-way valve 23; Open port a, port b, port c and port d of the second four-way valve, and the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12 are connected in parallel to the input liquid pipeline of the third heat exchange plate 13 through the second four-way valve; close the refrigeration device and the heating device 24.

[0042] The above means that there is a fourth working mode, and the fourth four-way valve 23 is arranged between the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 and the fourth heat exchange plate 14. In the structure of the third working mode, the first three-way valve is switched to connect with the fourth four-way valve 23, so that the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected in parallel with the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12, that is, the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 and the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 are connected to the output liquid pipeline of the fourth heat exchange plate 14. The third three-way valve is switched to connect with the second four-way valve, so that the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected in parallel with the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12, that is, the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11 and the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 are connected to the input liquid pipeline of the third heat exchange plate 13.

[0043] In the fourth working mode, the refrigeration device and the heating device 24 are turned off, and the third liquid pump 18 is turned on. It is worth further explaining that the first heat exchange plate 11 has a separate output liquid pipeline connected to the c port and the d port of the second four-way valve and then merged into the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12, and the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the a port and the b port of the second four-way valve. The first heat exchange plate 11 has a separate input liquid pipeline connected to the c port and the d port of the fourth four-way valve 23 and then merged into the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12, and the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the a port and the b port of the fourth four-way valve 23. This fourth working mode can be set for the case where the seabed seawater environment temperature is moderate.

[0044] In this example, see Figure 7 , open the c port of the second four-way valve connected to the third three-way valve, open the a port of the second four-way valve connected to the second heat exchange plate 12, close the b port and the d port of the second four-way valve, and the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected in series with the second heat exchange plate 12 through the second four-way valve; Open the c port of the fourth four-way valve 23 connected to the first three-way valve, open the a port of the fourth four-way valve 23 connected to the second heat exchange plate 12, close the b port and the d port of the fourth four-way valve 23, and the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected in series to the second heat exchange plate 12 through the fourth four-way valve 23; turn off the refrigeration device, the heating device 24 and the third liquid pump 18.

[0045] The above means that there is a fifth working mode, that is, in the structure of the fourth working mode, the b port and the d port of the second four-way valve are closed, and the b port and the d port of the fourth four-way valve 23 are closed. At this time, the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12 are connected in series through the second four-way valve, the second three-way valve, the first three-way valve, and the fourth four-way valve 23. The second liquid pump 17 is turned off, and the first liquid pump 16 is turned on. The input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11, and the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11, so that an internal circulation is formed between the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12. In the fifth working mode, it can be applied to the situation where the seabed seawater environment temperature is low. At this time, the refrigeration device, the heating device 24 and the third liquid pump 18 are not working. The heat generated by the battery module 40 and the converter 50 circulates in the seabed energy storage control system 100 to ensure the normal operation of the seabed energy storage control system 100.

[0046] In this example, see Figure 8 , open the c port of the second four-way valve connected to the third three-way valve, open the a port of the second four-way valve connected to the second heat exchange plate 12, close the b port and the d port of the second four-way valve, and the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected in series with the second heat exchange plate 12 through the second four-way valve; Open the c port of the fourth four-way valve 23 connected to the first three-way valve, open the a port of the fourth four-way valve 23 connected to the second heat exchange plate 12, close the b port and the d port of the fourth four-way valve 23, and the first heat exchange plate 11 is connected in series to the second heat exchange plate 12 through the fourth four-way valve 23; turn off the refrigeration device and the third liquid pump 18, and turn on the heating device 24.

[0047] The above means that there is a sixth working mode, that is, in the structure of the fifth working mode, the b port and the d port of the second four-way valve are closed, and the b port and the d port of the fourth four-way valve 23 are closed. At this time, the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12 are connected in series through the second four-way valve, the second three-way valve, the first three-way valve, and the fourth four-way valve 23. The second liquid pump 17 is turned on, and the first liquid pump 16 is turned off to connect the input liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 to the output liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11, and the output liquid pipeline of the second heat exchange plate 12 is connected to the input liquid pipeline of the first heat exchange plate 11, so that an internal circulation is formed between the first heat exchange plate 11 and the second heat exchange plate 12. In the sixth working mode, it can be applied to the situation where the seawater environment temperature is extremely low on the seabed, and at this time, the refrigeration device and the third liquid pump 18 are not working. The heating device 24 is turned on, and the heat generated by the inverter 50 is input into the first heat exchange plate 11 after being heated by the heating device 24. The battery module 40 is heated by the first heat exchange plate 11 to ensure the normal operation of the submarine energy storage control system 100.

[0048] In this embodiment, a plurality of cylinder wall reinforcement ribs 60 are provided on the outer periphery of the cylinder shell 10 .

[0049] As mentioned above, the cylinder wall reinforcement ribs 60 are used to strengthen the strength of the cylinder shell 10 to prevent the high pressure environment of the seabed from causing damage to the cylinder shell 10 .

[0050] In this embodiment, the first three-way valve, the second four-way valve, the third three-way valve and the fourth four-way valve 23 are all solenoid valves.

[0051] As mentioned above, through the control module (not shown in the figure) of the submarine energy storage control system 100, the passage conditions of the first three-way valve, the second four-way valve, the third three-way valve and the fourth four-way valve 23 are electrically connected and controlled to cope with different submarine temperature environment conditions. The control module is also connected to the refrigeration device, the heating device 24, the first liquid pump 16, the second liquid pump 17, and the third liquid pump 18. The control module is used to control the refrigeration device and the heating device 24 to perform opening or closing work according to different working modes and submarine environmental conditions, and is also used to control the opening or closing of the first liquid pump 16, the second liquid pump 17 and the third liquid pump 18, and control the operating direction of the first liquid pump 16, the second liquid pump 17 and the third liquid pump 18 according to different working modes. It can be understood that the input liquid pipeline and the output liquid pipeline of this embodiment can be adjusted and changed with each other according to the operating direction of each liquid pump, and are not the only direction. The control module can also exchange data with the external terminal and measure the seawater temperature of the seabed in real time through a temperature measuring instrument.
