[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and thus only show the components related to the present invention.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-17 A lithium iron phosphate battery module comprises a module support plate 1 and a plurality of battery modules 2 above the module support plate 1, wherein the module support plate 1 is provided with a controller 5 connected to the plurality of battery modules 2, a module upper cover 3 is provided above the battery module 2, an air outlet groove 31 is provided at one end of the module upper cover 3, and a protective cover 4 covering the plurality of battery modules 2 is provided on the module support plate 1, wherein the module upper cover 3 protects the battery module 2 below, and the protective cover 4 protects all battery modules as a whole to avoid damage and failure of the battery module 2 caused by external force impact, wherein the module upper cover is fixed to the surrounding side plates and end plates by bolts, and the protective cover 4 can be fixed to the surface of the module support plate 1 by bolts, and a gas circulation heat dissipation mechanism is provided in the battery module 2, and the heat dissipation gas flows outward at the air outlet groove 31, and the internal battery core is cooled by the gas circulation heat dissipation mechanism during use to avoid internal aggregation affecting the module performance.

[0039] Specifically, the battery module 2 includes an internal lithium iron phosphate battery cell 21, side plates 22 on both sides, and end plates 23 at both ends. The battery cells 21 are arranged in an even number of rows, and a partition 25 is provided between each two adjacent rows of battery cells 21. The battery cells 21 adjacent to each other on both sides of the partition 25 are connected in series through the pole piece 24. The inner side of the side plate 22 is provided with a first arc-shaped recess 221, and the two sides of the partition 25 are provided with a second arc-shaped recess 251 and a third arc-shaped recess 252. The second arc-shaped recess 251 and the third arc-shaped recess 252 are arranged in sequence. The first arc-shaped recess 221, the second arc-shaped recess 251 and the third arc-shaped recess 252 are all matched with the outer circumference of the battery cell 21, and the two sides of the end plate 23 are welded to the side plates 22. After welding, the two side plates 22 and the two end plates 23 form a fixed frame to fix the multiple battery cells 21 around and prevent any battery cell from loosening. In addition, since the first arc-shaped recess 221, the second arc-shaped recess 251 and the third arc-shaped recess 252 are all matched with the outer circumference of the battery cell 21, the battery cell 21 can also be limited, which greatly improves the stability of the battery cell.

[0040] The battery cells 21 of each adjacent row are arranged at intervals, and a gap is left between two adjacent battery cells 21 in the same row. Limiting grooves 253 are downwardly opened at both ends of the partition 25, and the length of the limiting groove 253 is half the height of the partition 25. The inner side of the end plate 23 is provided with a limiting plug 232 that cooperates with the limiting groove 253. The end plate 23 cooperates with all the partitions 25 through the limiting plug 232. The limiting groove 253 and the limiting plug 232 are both T-shaped, and slopes 231 are provided on both sides of the end plate 23. The side plate 22 and the end plate 23 are welded at the slope; that is to say, the limiting plug 232 on the inner side of the end plate 23 is the same as the number of the partition 25. One by one, when mating, the end plate 23 moves downward from the top, so that the corresponding limit groove 253 is plugged into the limit plug block 232. After mating, all the internal partitions 25 are limited and fixed. Since the battery cell 21 is always in contact with the partition 25, the battery cell 21 is always in a stable state after the partition 25 is limited and fixed; in addition, since slopes 231 are provided on both sides of the end plate 23, the side plate 22 and the end plate 23 are welded at the slope 231, the whole can be reinforced after welding, and the setting of the slope 231 can avoid leakage of the weld, and at the same time, it can ensure the effective transmission of the tensile and compressive stresses of the frame after being hit by external force, ensure the rigid nodes of the welding parts, and improve the overall strength.

[0041] In the solution of the present invention, a groove 11 corresponding to the battery module 2 is provided on the surface of the module support plate 1 , and the gas circulation and heat dissipation mechanism is provided in the groove 11 .

[0042] Please refer again Figure 14-17In this embodiment, the gas circulation and heat dissipation mechanism includes a connecting pipe 12 and a plurality of branch pipes 13. The connecting pipe 12 is fixed to one side of the inner part of the groove 11. The plurality of branch pipes 13 are respectively connected to the connecting pipe 12. The branch pipe 13 is arranged directly below each adjacent two partitions 25 (i.e., directly below the battery cell 21). A plurality of duckbill-shaped nozzles 14 are arranged in an array above the branch pipe 13. The nozzles 14 are arranged in the gap between each adjacent two battery cells 21. Specifically, the module support plate 1 is also provided with a first gas collecting channel 6. The first gas collecting channel 6 A connecting elbow 61 is provided on one side, one end of the connecting elbow 61 is connected to the first air collecting channel 6, and the other end extends into the groove 11 and is connected to the connecting pipe 12. The connecting elbow 61 corresponds to the groove 11 one by one. A centrifugal fan 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the module support plate 1, and the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 7 is connected to the second air collecting channel 71. The first air collecting channel 6 is connected to the second air collecting channel 71. After the centrifugal fan 7 is running, the gas flows out from the air outlet groove 31; the centrifugal fan 7 is arranged on the bottom surface of the module support plate, which can also occupy a smaller area, facilitating the overall installation.

[0043] That is to say, the centrifugal fan 7, the first air collecting channel 6, the connecting pipe 12, the branch pipe 13 are connected to the battery module 2 as a whole. When the centrifugal fan 7 is running, the gas enters the first air collecting channel 6 through the second air collecting channel 71. The first air collecting channel 6 is connected to the connecting pipes 12 in each groove 11 through a plurality of connecting elbows 61. Since the connecting pipe 12 is connected to a plurality of branch pipes 13, and a plurality of nozzles 14 are provided on the branch pipes 13; therefore, the gas enters the connecting pipe 12 and is ejected from the nozzle 14. The duckbill-shaped nozzle 14 can increase the gas flow rate and can quickly take away a large amount of heat; since the nozzle 14 is provided in the gap between each adjacent two battery cells 21, the gas ejected upward can take away a large amount of heat from the battery cells, and the air carrying the heat eventually flows out from the air outlet groove 31 at the end of the module cover 3, thereby realizing internal air circulation.

[0044] When in use, all the internal battery cells 21 can spray gas through the nozzle 14 to dissipate heat inside the module; and the outermost battery cells 21 transfer heat to the side plates through heat transfer, and dissipate heat through the side plates.

[0045] Based on the above embodiment, a temperature sensor may be further provided in the module upper cover 3. When the temperature rises to reach a set temperature value, the temperature sensor controls the operation of the centrifugal fan through a signal, thereby achieving automatic heat dissipation.

[0046] In addition, a fixed support plate 15 is provided in the groove 11, and a countersunk hole 16 corresponding to the battery cell 21 is provided on the surface of the support plate 15. A heat dissipation port 17 is provided on the surface of the support plate 15, and the heat dissipation port 17 penetrates the support plate 15. The nozzle 14 extends vertically into the heat dissipation port 17, and the heat dissipation port 17 corresponds to the nozzle 14 below.

[0047] The setting of the support plate 15 can not only improve the restriction of the gas flow direction, but also limit the battery cell 21; since the support plate 15 is provided with a heat dissipation port 17, and the nozzle 14 extends vertically into the heat dissipation port 17; therefore, when the gas is ejected from the nozzle, it can be directly blown to the top of the support plate 15 (between the two battery cells 21), avoiding the gas from flowing around and ensuring the heat dissipation quality.

[0048] The battery cell 21 is limited in the battery module 2 by the side plate 22, the end plate 23 and the partition 25. In this state, the circumference of the battery cell 21 is in contact with the end plate 23 and the partition 25, which can prevent the battery cell 21 from swaying horizontally or deviating from the original position, but the battery cell 21 may move up and down. In order to prevent the battery cell 21 from moving up and down, a countersunk hole 16 is set on the surface of the support plate 15. The bottom of each battery cell 21 is set in the countersunk hole 16, and the top is blocked by the module cover, which can ensure the multi-directional limitation of the battery cell up and down, left and right, and improve the overall stability. That is to say, all the battery cells 21 in the battery module 2 fall into the corresponding countersunk holes 16, and the side plates and end plates around the battery module 2 are welded or glued to the surface of the module support plate 1 to ensure the overall stability of the battery module.

[0049] Please refer again Figure 4-6 A notch 41 corresponding to the air outlet groove 31 is provided on one side of the protective cover 4, and an extended heat dissipation channel 42 is provided on the inner side of the notch 41. The port of the heat dissipation channel 42 covers the air outlet groove 31 and is used to receive the heat dissipation gas in the battery module 2; when the centrifugal fan 7 is running, the gas passes through the second air collecting channel 71, the first air collecting channel 6, the connecting elbow 61, the connecting pipe 12, the branch pipe 13, the nozzle 14, the air outlet groove 31 and the heat dissipation channel 42 in sequence, and is dispersed outward at the notch 41. Such a cycle can achieve heat dissipation of all internal battery modules. The inner top wall of the protective cover 4 is provided with a support mechanism 43 for protecting the battery module 2. The setting of the support mechanism 43 can prevent the protective cover 4 from deforming and squeezing the internal battery module.

[0050] Specifically, the support mechanism 43 includes an upper elastic fin 431 and a lower elastic fin 432 made of carbon spring steel. The upper elastic fin 431 and the lower elastic fin 432 are both arc-shaped and symmetrically arranged. A cross groove 433 is provided in each of the upper elastic fin 431 and the lower elastic fin 432. The upper elastic fin 431 and the lower elastic fin 432 are cross-arranged in opposite directions at the cross groove 433. Connecting plates 434 are provided at both ends of the cross groove 433. The connecting plates 434 are provided with waist holes 435. The upper elastic fin 431 is connected to the inner top wall of the protective cover 4 at the waist holes 435 by bolts, and the lower elastic fin 432 is connected to the module upper cover 3 at the waist holes 435 by bolts, wherein the lowest point of the upper elastic fin 431 contacts the surface of the module upper cover 3, and the highest point of the lower elastic fin 432 contacts the inner top wall of the protective cover 4.

[0051] The surface of the protective cover 4 will be concave and deformed when impacted by external force. When the protective cover 4 is deformed, the upper elastic fin 431 and the lower elastic fin 432 can extend to both sides through the reaction force, and the overall length of the elastic fin increases. The setting of the upper elastic fin 431 and the lower elastic fin 432 can effectively buffer the external impact force, avoid the deformed part from impacting the battery module, and can also isolate the protective cover and the module upper cover, which can effectively protect the battery module in the protective cover 4.

[0052] In addition, the present invention also discloses an energy storage device of a lithium iron phosphate battery module. Fig.18 The energy storage device includes a module management system, an energy storage inverter, a charge and discharge controller, a DC distributor and auxiliary equipment, wherein multiple battery modules can be placed in the energy storage device, and the module management system manages and monitors the status, temperature, balance and faults of the battery modules to ensure the safe, stable and long-life operation of the battery modules; the energy storage inverter realizes the AC / DC conversion of the charging and discharging process of the battery module, and converts the stored DC power into AC power for use in the power grid or specific loads; the charge and discharge controller monitors the charging and discharging status, current demand, voltage and temperature parameters, and controls the charging current and charging time as needed to ensure the safety performance of the battery module; the DC distributor includes a DC switch, a current sensor and a protector of the control device to ensure the safe and stable transmission of current and electric energy; the auxiliary equipment includes a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor in the energy storage device to realize comprehensive monitoring and management of the system for the overall environmental parameters and power parameters of the energy storage device.

[0053] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
