Figure 3 For the convenience of explanation, the box body 100 is in a perspective state as an example, and the frame of the box body 100 and the boundary line between the high pressure area 101 and the low pressure area 102 are shown in a dotted frame.

[0031] In the drawings provided in this embodiment, the X-axis direction is the width direction of the case 100 of the energy storage inverter, the Y-axis direction is the length direction of the case 100 of the energy storage inverter, and the Z-axis direction is the height direction of the case 100 of the energy storage inverter.

[0032] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The energy storage converter provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: a box body 100 and a first partition 110, a second partition 120, a third partition 130, a radiator 140 and a fan assembly 150 arranged in the box body 100.

[0033] The box body 100 includes a high-pressure area 101 and a low-pressure area 102 that are adjacent to each other; a first partition 110 is located in the high-pressure area 101, and the first partition 110 divides the high-pressure area 101 into an upper high-pressure area 103 and a lower high-pressure area 104 that are arranged up and down, and the lower high-pressure area 104 of the box body 100 has an air inlet 108 on a side away from the low-pressure area 102; a second partition 120 is located in the low-pressure area 102, and the second partition 120 is arranged on the same layer as the first partition 110; a third partition 130 is located in the low-pressure area 102, and the third partition 130 is located above the second partition 120, and the second partition 120 and the third partition 130 separate the low-pressure area 102 is divided into an upper low-pressure zone 105, a middle low-pressure zone 106 and a lower low-pressure zone 107 which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The lower low-pressure zone 107 of the box body 100 has an air outlet 109 on the side away from the high-pressure zone 101; the radiator 140 is located between the lower low-pressure zone 107 and the lower high-pressure zone 104, the first partition 110 is fixed to the top of the radiator 140 on the side close to the low-pressure zone 102, and the second partition 120 is fixed to the top of the radiator 140 on the side close to the high-pressure zone 101; the fan assembly 150 is located in the lower high-pressure zone 104, and the air outlet direction of the fan assembly 150 is toward the radiator 140.

[0034] The cooling air passes through the fan assembly 150 from the air inlet 108, through the radiator 140, to the lower low-pressure area 107, and then is discharged from the air outlet 109 to form a first air flow channel. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first partition 110 has a plurality of ventilation holes 114 on one side close to the radiator 140. The cooling air flows from the air inlet 108 through the fan assembly 150 and the ventilation holes 114 to the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106 to form a second air flow channel. The air flow rate of the first air flow channel is greater than the air flow rate of the second air flow channel.

[0035] In the energy storage converter provided in the embodiment of the present application, the box 100 includes a high-voltage area 101 and a low-voltage area 102 arranged adjacent to each other, the high-voltage area 101 is used to set high-power devices, and the low-voltage area 102 is used to set low-power devices to improve the integration density of the energy storage converter. The first partition 110 separates the high-voltage area 101 into an upper high-voltage area 103 and a lower high-voltage area 104 arranged up and down, and the second partition 120 and the third partition 130 separate the low-voltage area 102 into an upper low-voltage area 105, a middle low-voltage area 106 and a lower low-voltage area 107 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, so that the space of the high-voltage area 101 and the low-voltage area 102 can be further divided into regions. The lower high-pressure area 104 of the box body 100 has an air inlet 108 on the side away from the low-pressure area 102, and the lower low-pressure area 107 of the box body 100 has an air outlet 109 on the side away from the high-pressure area 101. The radiator 140 is located between the lower low-pressure area 107 and the lower high-pressure area 104. The cooling air passes through the fan assembly 150 from the air inlet 108 through the radiator 140 to the lower low-pressure area 107 and then is discharged from the air outlet 109 to form a first airflow channel with unidirectional flow. In this way, the high-temperature air after the cooling air cools the radiator 140 is directly discharged through the air outlet 109 and will not continue to circulate in the box body 100, thereby avoiding the high-temperature wind from affecting the heat dissipation of other devices. The first partition 110 has a plurality of ventilation holes 114 on one side close to the radiator 140. The cooling air flows from the air inlet 108 through the fan assembly 150 and the ventilation holes 114 to the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106 to form a second wind flow channel of unidirectional flow. In this way, the devices arranged in the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106 are directly arranged on the radiator 140 to dissipate heat through the radiator 140, and can also dissipate heat through the second wind flow channel formed in the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the devices in the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106. The wind flow rate of the first wind flow channel is greater than the wind flow rate of the second wind flow channel. In this way, most of the heat generated by the devices on the radiator 140 is dissipated through the first wind flow channel. Even if a small amount of heat is transferred to the devices on the side farther away from the high-pressure zone 101 through the second wind flow channel, it will not cause too much influence on the heat dissipation of the devices at the tail of the second wind flow channel, thereby facilitating the devices in the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106 that are farther away from the high-pressure zone 101 to have a better heat dissipation effect.

[0036] In some embodiments, a switch baffle can be provided at the vent hole, and the switch baffle can control the opening or closing of the vent hole. In this way, the number of vent holes required can be adjusted according to the ambient temperature of the energy storage converter, and the airflow rate of the second airflow channel can be adjusted. For example, when the operating temperature is low, the heat dissipation demand is low, and the switch baffles of some vent holes can be closed to reduce the airflow rate of the second airflow channel to avoid the problem of abnormal use caused by the low temperature of the device after heat dissipation.

[0037] Combined with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The middle low-pressure area 106 and / or the upper low-pressure area 105 of the box body 100 may have at least one exhaust hole 160 on the side away from the high-pressure area 101, and an exhaust fan 161 is provided on the exhaust hole 160. The exhaust fan 161 on the exhaust hole 160 can facilitate the exhaust of cooling air passing through the second air flow channel, thereby avoiding the accumulation of heat in the box body 100 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the energy storage converter.

[0038] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 , the upper part of at least one exhaust hole 160 can be located in the upper low-pressure zone 105, and the lower part can be located in the middle low-pressure zone 106. In this way, the upper low-pressure zone 105 and the middle low-pressure zone 106 can share an exhaust fan 161 to achieve unidirectional airflow, thereby reducing the installation cost of the exhaust fan 161 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the components in the upper low-pressure zone 105 and the middle low-pressure zone 106.

[0039] In some embodiments, the exhaust fan 161 extracts the gas from the upper low-pressure area 105 to form a third wind flow channel, and the wind flow rate of the third wind flow channel is less than the wind flow rate of the second wind flow channel. In this way, devices with higher heat generation rates, such as power boards or DC-Link capacitors, etc., can be set in the middle low-pressure area 106, and devices with lower heat generation rates, such as battery management systems, control boards, or auxiliary capacitor boards, etc., can be set in the upper low-pressure area 105. By arranging devices with different heat generation rates in different areas, it is beneficial to effectively dissipate heat from devices at each layer.

[0040] Furthermore, when the upper low-pressure zone 105 and the middle low-pressure zone 106 can share an exhaust fan 161, for the same exhaust hole 160, the area of ​​the exhaust hole 160 located in the middle low-pressure zone 106 is larger than the area of ​​the exhaust hole 160 located in the upper low-pressure zone 105, thereby achieving that the wind flow rate of the third airflow channel is lower than the wind flow rate of the second airflow channel.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 The box body 100 may be provided with pits 170 on both sides along the width direction, which can facilitate the transportation of the energy storage converter.

[0042] Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of a fan assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0043] Combined with reference 3 and Figure 5The fan assembly 150 includes: an air inlet net 151, which is detachably fixed to the air inlet 108; a fan bracket 152, which is detachably fixed to the air inlet net 151; and a fan 153, which is detachably fixed to the fan bracket 152. In this way, the fan 153 can be detachably fixed to the box body 100 through the fan bracket 152 and the air inlet net 151. When the fan 153 needs to be maintained, the fan 153 can be directly removed by disassembling the air inlet net 151 at the air inlet 108, and the fan 153 can be repaired and maintained without disassembling the third partition 130, the second partition 120 and the first partition 110 layer by layer.

[0044] In this embodiment, it is taken as an example that multiple fans 153 are fixed by the same fan bracket 152 and the same air inlet net 151; in other embodiments, the air inlet net and the fan bracket can be set to multiple, so as to constitute multiple independent fan assemblies, and the multiple fan assemblies are respectively fixed to the box body through their own air inlet nets. In this way, when a single fan is subsequently repaired or maintained, there is no need to disassemble other fan assemblies.

[0045] In some embodiments, the bottom of the box may have a guide rail (not shown in the figure), and the fan bracket may be movably fixed on the guide rail. In this way, when the fan assembly is installed or removed through the air inlet of the box, it can be directed by the guide rail, which is beneficial to improve the installation efficiency of the fan assembly and the box, and also to improve the stability of the fan assembly installed in the box.

[0046] refer to Figure 4 The first partition 110 may include a first portion 111, a second portion 112, and a third portion 113 connected in sequence, the height of the first portion 111 relative to the bottom of the box body is higher than the height of the third portion 113 relative to the bottom of the box body, the side of the third portion 113 away from the second portion 112 is fixed to the top of the radiator, and the vent 114 is located on the second portion 112. In this way, the first portion 111 and the third portion 113 are arranged in staggered layers, so that the cooling wind gathers at the second portion 112, and the vent 114 is arranged on the second portion 112, which is conducive to the cooling wind efficiently flowing to the middle layer low pressure area through the vent 114.

[0048] refer to Figure 6 The second partition 120 may also include a fourth part 121, a fifth part 122 and a sixth part 123 connected in sequence, the height of the fourth part 121 relative to the bottom surface of the box body is higher than the height of the fifth part 122 relative to the bottom surface of the box body, and the sixth part 123 is fixed to the top of the radiator on the side away from the fifth part 122.

[0049] Combined with reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The lower low-voltage area 107 may include a plurality of inductors 180, the second partition 120 may include a hollow portion 124, and the orthographic projection of the inductor 180 on the bottom surface of the box body 100 is located within the orthographic projection of the hollow portion 124 on the bottom surface of the box body 100. The inductor 180 is relatively large in size, and being arranged in the lower low-voltage area 107 can help improve space utilization, and the hollow portion 124 is arranged on the second partition 120 to avoid electromagnetic interference between the second partition 120 and the inductor 180.

[0051] refer to Figure 7 The third partition plate 130 may include a seventh portion 131, an eighth portion 132 and a ninth portion 133 connected in sequence, and the height of the seventh portion 131 relative to the bottom of the box is higher than the height of the ninth portion 133 relative to the bottom of the box. In this way, the seventh portion 131 and the ninth portion 133 arranged in staggered layers are conducive to setting corresponding placement positions for devices of different heights, so as to improve the space utilization rate of the upper low-pressure area.

[0052] Combined with reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 The seventh portion 131 and the ninth portion 133 are bent toward the bottom surface of the box 100 on one side close to the high voltage region 101 to form an isolation portion 134, and the isolation portion 134 has mesh holes arranged in an array. The isolation portion 134 can be used to isolate the devices between the high voltage region 101 and the low voltage region 102, and the mesh holes on the isolation portion 134 can form an electromagnetic shield to prevent electromagnetic interference between the devices in the high voltage region 101 and the devices in the low voltage region 102.

[0053] In some embodiments, the orthographic projection of the seventh portion 131 on the bottom surface of the box partially overlaps with the orthographic projection of the second partition 120 on the bottom surface of the box, and the orthographic projection of the ninth portion 133 on the bottom surface of the box does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the second partition 120 on the bottom surface of the box. In this way, the height of some devices on the second partition 120 can exceed the distance between the second partition 120 and the third partition 130, so that a larger device can be placed on the second partition 120.

[0054] In some embodiments, at least one of the first partition 110, the second partition 120 or the third partition 130 includes a plurality of bending portions 190, the bending portions 190 have a plurality of fixing holes, and the first partition 110, the second partition 120 or the third partition 130 is fixed to the inner wall of the box body 100 by bolts passing through the fixing holes.

[0055] In other embodiments, the inner wall of the box is provided with a plurality of support parts, the support parts include a first support part and a second support part connected to each other, the first support part is parallel to the side wall surface of the box, the second support part is parallel to the bottom surface of the box, the first support part is used to be fixed to the side wall of the box, and the second support part is used to be fixed to the first partition, the second partition or the third partition.

[0056] In some embodiments, a buffer pad (not shown in the figure) is provided between the inner wall of the box and the bent portion, and the material of the buffer pad includes rubber. The buffer pad can prevent the box, the first partition, the second partition or the third partition from being deformed due to mutual compression caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the box, the first partition, the second partition or the third partition.

[0057] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3 The energy storage converter may further include: two fixing parts 193 arranged opposite to each other in a direction perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the high-pressure area 101 and the low-pressure area 102, the fixing part 193 is located between the lower low-pressure area 107 and the lower high-pressure area 104, and is fixed to the inner wall of the box 100, and both ends of the radiator 140 are fixed to the fixing parts 193, so that the radiator 140 is suspended in the box 100. Suspending the radiator 140 in the box 100 through the fixing parts 193 can facilitate the cooling air to pass through the bottom of the radiator 140, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the radiator 140.

[0058] In the energy storage converter provided in the embodiment of the present application, the box 100 includes a high-voltage area 101 and a low-voltage area 102 arranged adjacent to each other, the high-voltage area 101 is used to set high-power devices, and the low-voltage area 102 is used to set low-power devices to improve the integration density of the energy storage converter. The first partition 110 separates the high-voltage area 101 into an upper high-voltage area 103 and a lower high-voltage area 104 arranged up and down, and the second partition 120 and the third partition 130 separate the low-voltage area 102 into an upper low-voltage area 105, a middle low-voltage area 106 and a lower low-voltage area 107 arranged sequentially from top to bottom, so that the space of the high-voltage area 101 and the low-voltage area 102 can be further divided into regions. The lower high-pressure area 104 of the box body 100 has an air inlet 108 on the side away from the low-pressure area 102, and the lower low-pressure area 107 of the box body 100 has an air outlet 109 on the side away from the high-pressure area 101. The radiator 140 is located between the lower low-pressure area 107 and the lower high-pressure area 104. The cooling air passes through the fan assembly 150 from the air inlet 108 through the radiator 140 to the lower low-pressure area 107 and then is discharged from the air outlet 109 to form a first airflow channel with unidirectional flow. In this way, the high-temperature air after the cooling air cools the radiator 140 is directly discharged through the air outlet 109 and will not continue to circulate in the box body 100, thereby avoiding the high-temperature wind from affecting the heat dissipation of other devices. The first partition 110 has a plurality of ventilation holes 114 on one side close to the radiator 140. The cooling air flows from the air inlet 108 through the fan assembly 150 and the ventilation holes 114 to the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106 to form a second wind flow channel of unidirectional flow. In this way, the devices arranged in the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106 are directly arranged on the radiator 140 to dissipate heat through the radiator 140, and can also dissipate heat through the second wind flow channel formed in the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the devices in the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106. The wind flow rate of the first wind flow channel is greater than the wind flow rate of the second wind flow channel. In this way, most of the heat generated by the devices on the radiator 140 is dissipated through the first wind flow channel. Even if a small amount of heat is transferred to the devices on the side farther away from the high-pressure zone 101 through the second wind flow channel, it will not cause too much influence on the heat dissipation of the devices at the tail of the second wind flow channel, thereby facilitating the devices in the middle-layer low-pressure zone 106 that are farther away from the high-pressure zone 101 to have a better heat dissipation effect.

Any person skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and therefore the scope of protection of the present application shall be subject to the scope defined in the claims.
