Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery packs, and in particular to an air-source multifunctional energy storage battery cabinet. Background Art
[0002] As the core unit of the energy storage system, the energy storage battery cabinet plays a key role in the storage and release of electric energy in the power system. By balancing the relationship between power supply and demand, it effectively improves the reliability and stability of the energy system, reduces the probability of power grid disasters, and provides an important guarantee for the sustainability of power supply.
[0003] In the prior art, energy storage cabinets generally use modular battery packs as energy storage media. Among them, lithium-ion batteries have become the preferred battery type for energy storage systems due to their high operating voltage (usually 3.2-3.7V), high energy density (up to 150-250Wh / kg), long cycle life (2000-5000 times) and excellent volume energy density (400-700Wh / L). In specific implementations, multiple single cells are connected in series and parallel to form a battery module, and multiple modules are further combined to form a battery cluster, and finally a complete energy storage cabinet system is formed by integrating several battery clusters. When the energy storage cabinet system performs functions on power equipment or performs high-current fast charging, the energy storage battery and cables will generate heat. If the BMS system thermal management fails and the heat dissipation is poor, resulting in excessive temperature, it will cause battery performance degradation, thermal runaway, and even fire and explosion. Although existing energy storage cabinets are usually equipped with fire protection systems, such as total flooding gas fire extinguishing systems, gas fire extinguishing and sprinkler cooling systems, PACK-level fire extinguishing systems, electrochemical energy storage bin fire extinguishing systems, etc., the existing fire protection systems are independent systems that only take effect after the battery catches fire and lack timely intervention in the early stages.

[0029] The principles and advantages of the present invention are:
[0030] 1. Integrated cooling and fire extinguishing: The cabinet in this solution not only has a fire extinguishing function, but also integrates an efficient cooling mechanism. The cold airflow generated by the vortex tube directly acts on the top of the battery pack, and is evenly distributed using a serpentine tube to ensure that the battery pack can be effectively cooled during normal operation. The cooling control module controls the opening and closing of the first regulating valve and the second regulating valve according to the temperature data and flame data in the cabinet, so that the system can take measures in the early stage of the fire or even before the fire to prevent the fire from spreading, and timely intervention can be achieved in the early stage of the fire.
[0031] 2. High-efficiency thermal management: In addition to directly cooling the battery pack by generating cold air through the vortex tube, the design of the heat exchanger and cold air delivery components further enhances the heat dissipation capacity of the system. The air treated by the heat exchanger is reintroduced into the bottom of the cabinet and flows upward, forming natural convection and improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency. The hot air generated by the vortex tube can not only be used to heat the liquid perfluorohexanone stored in the fire extinguishing agent tank to vaporize the liquid perfluorohexanone, but can also enter the heat exchanger through the second branch pipe for secondary utilization, realizing effective energy recovery and reducing energy consumption costs.
[0032] 3. Intelligent monitoring and preventive intervention: The cooling control module controls the opening and closing of the first regulating valve and the second regulating valve according to the temperature data and flame data in the cabinet, providing all-round safety monitoring. Once an abnormal situation (such as temperature rise, flame) is detected, measures can be taken immediately to prevent the occurrence or spread of fire; the cooling control module automatically adjusts the working status of each component according to the collected data (such as starting the vortex tube, adjusting the opening and closing of the first regulating valve and the second regulating valve), realizing intelligent management, which not only improves the response speed, but also reduces the need for human intervention, and enhances the stability and reliability of the system.
[0033] 4. Multi-directional fire extinguishing coverage: The design of the gas distribution pipe and the injection pipe ensures that the perfluorohexanone gas can be evenly sprayed into the battery pack tank from multiple directions, forming a dense fire extinguishing agent spray, quickly suppressing the spread of fire and improving fire extinguishing efficiency. Compared with traditional single-point injection fire extinguishers, this design is better able to cope with complex battery pack layouts and the randomness of possible fire source locations; and perfluorohexanone, as an efficient and clean fire extinguishing agent, can not only quickly suppress the fire when it comes into contact with the flame, but also will not cause damage to electrical equipment, leave no residue, and will not affect the subsequent use of the battery pack.

[0046] An air-source multifunctional energy storage battery cabinet comprises an electrically connected device body 1 and a temperature reduction control module;
[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device body 1 includes a cabinet 11, an air source interface, an air compressor 12, a vortex tube 2, a fire extinguishing agent storage tank 13, a heat exchanger 14 and a battery storage box 3; the battery storage box 3 is stacked and placed in the cabinet 11 for storing the battery pack; a cabinet door is hinged on the front side wall of the cabinet 11, an air inlet is provided at the lower part of the cabinet 11, and an air outlet is provided at the upper part of the cabinet 11. In this embodiment, the positions of the air inlet and the air outlet of the cabinet 11 are also provided with an automatic opening and closing cover plate, which is used to open and close the air inlet and the air outlet, so as to facilitate closing the air inlet and the air outlet during fire extinguishing. Specifically, the cover plate is driven by an electric push rod. When the fire alarm system is activated, the electric push rod will automatically drive the cover plate to close the air inlet and the air outlet. In this embodiment, a pressure relief valve is also provided on the cabinet 11 to balance the pressure inside the cabinet to prevent the pressure rise caused by gas expansion during fire extinguishing.
[0048] The vortex tube 2 is installed on the outside of the cabinet 11, and the air inlet pipe of the vortex tube 2 is connected to the air source interface, and the air source interface is used to connect a compressed air source. In the present embodiment, the compressed air source is provided by the air compressor 12, and the air inlet pipe of the vortex tube 2 is connected to the air compressor 12 through the air source interface. The vortex tube 2 includes a cold air outlet pipe 21 and a hot air outlet pipe 22, and the air outlet of the cold air outlet pipe 21 is connected to a heat dissipation component 4, and the cooling and heat dissipation end of the heat dissipation component 4 is arranged in the cabinet 11 and above the battery storage box 3; in the present embodiment, the model of the vortex tube 2 is RTK-VT.
[0049] The hot air outlet pipe 22 is provided with two air outlets, which are respectively connected with a first branch pipe 23 and a second branch pipe 24, the first branch pipe 23 and the second branch pipe 24 are spaced apart from top to bottom, the first branch pipe 23 is used to connect with the air inlet of the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 13, and the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 13 stores liquid perfluorohexanone, the air outlet of the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 13 is connected with a fire extinguishing component 5, and the fire extinguishing component 5 is used to extinguish the battery storage box 3, the second branch pipe 24 is used to connect with the heat exchanger 14, and the first branch pipe 23 and the second branch pipe 24 are respectively provided with a first regulating valve and a second regulating valve; in this embodiment, the cold air outlet pipe 21 is provided with a third regulating valve.
[0050] It also includes a data acquisition module for collecting temperature data and flame data in the cabinet, and the data acquisition module includes a temperature acquisition module and a flame acquisition module; the temperature acquisition module is used to collect temperature data in the cabinet; the flame acquisition module is used to collect flame data in the cabinet.
[0051] The temperature reduction control module is used to control the opening and closing of the air compressor 12, the first regulating valve and the second regulating valve according to the temperature and flame in the cabinet 11. In this embodiment, the data acquisition module also includes a smoke acquisition module, which is used to collect smoke data in the cabinet 11. The smoke acquisition module detects the smoke data in the cabinet 11, and the temperature reduction control module controls the opening and closing of the air compressor 12, the first regulating valve and the second regulating valve according to the smoke situation in the cabinet 11. In this embodiment, the temperature acquisition module, the flame acquisition module and the smoke acquisition module are all arranged in the cabinet 11.
[0052] Specifically, when a fire is detected by the flame collection module, the system can open the first regulating valve, use the hot air flow generated by the vortex tube 2 to heat the liquid perfluorohexanone in the fire extinguishing agent storage tank 13, so that it can be quickly vaporized and sprayed into the battery pack storage box 3 through the fire extinguishing component 5. Perfluorohexanone, as a clean fire extinguishing agent, will not cause damage to electrical equipment and has no residue, ensuring the safety of the battery pack and the possibility of subsequent use. At the same time, the cold air flow generated by the vortex tube 2 can directly act on the inside of the cabinet 11, especially the area above the battery pack, which helps to reduce the temperature rise caused by the fire, thereby protecting the undamaged battery cells from high temperature and reducing the risk of fire spread. By reasonably allocating the heat and cold energy generated by the vortex tube 2, the system is more efficient in responding to emergencies. The energy at the hot end is used to accelerate the gasification process of perfluorohexanone, while the cold end directly participates in the emergency cooling on site, realizing the maximum utilization of energy.
[0053] When the temperature inside the cabinet 11 exceeds the preset temperature threshold but no fire occurs, the system can turn on the air compressor 12 and the second regulating valve. The vortex tube 2 is not only used to generate cold air flow and guide it to the heat dissipation component 4 for daily heat dissipation of the cabinet 11, but also can guide the hot air flow to the heat exchanger 14 through the second branch pipe 24, thereby realizing the secondary utilization of energy, improving the overall energy efficiency of the system, and reducing unnecessary energy waste.
[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly 4 includes a first air delivery pipe 41 and a serpentine curved pipe 42. The first air delivery pipe 41 is connected to the cold air outlet pipe 21. The outlet end of the first air delivery pipe 41 penetrates the side wall of the cabinet 11 and extends into the cabinet 11 and is connected to the serpentine curved pipe 42. The serpentine curved pipe 42 is arranged above the battery storage box 3. The outlet end of the serpentine curved pipe 42 penetrates the side wall of the cabinet 11 and extends out of the cabinet 11. In this embodiment, the serpentine curved pipe 42 is installed in the cabinet 11 through a support seat. There are several support seats. The upper ends of the several support seats are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the cabinet 11, and the lower ends of the support seats are fixedly connected to the top of the serpentine curved pipe 42. The support seat is a hollow structure, so that the serpentine curved pipe 42 is installed above the battery storage box 3. Specifically, the serpentine curved pipe 42 covers the battery storage box 3. Through the serpentine curved pipe 42 of the heat dissipation component 4, the serpentine curved pipe 42 can be arranged in a long path within a limited space, without occupying too much extra space, while ensuring a sufficient cooling length, increasing the contact area and contact time between the cold air and the top of the cabinet, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The cold air can form a relatively uniform cold air covering layer above the battery pack storage box 3. The air outlet end of the serpentine curved pipe 42 passes through the side wall of the cabinet 11 and extends out of the cabinet 11, so that the gas after heat exchange can be effectively discharged, reducing the accumulation of condensed water in the cabinet 11 due to temperature difference, and protecting the battery pack from moisture.

In the present embodiment, nine gas branch pipes 53 are arranged in an array and distributed on the left, right and rear sides of the cabinet 11. Several of the gas branch pipes 53 penetrate the side wall of the cabinet 11 inwardly and extend into the cabinet 11. Several of the gas branch pipes 53 are connected to injection pipes 54.

Several nozzles 55 are vertically arrayed on the inner wall of the injection pipe 54, and the nozzles 55 face the battery pack storage box 3. The gas distribution pipe 52 is arranged around the left, right and rear outer walls of the cabinet 11, ensuring that the perfluorohexanone gas can enter the cabinet 11 from multiple directions, so that the perfluorohexanone gas can fill the entire cabinet 11 faster, and achieve all-round coverage of the space around the battery storage box 3. By setting the injection pipe 54, the perfluorohexanone gas can be distributed to each injection pipe 54 in a more uniform manner, thereby achieving more effective fire extinguishing coverage. Through the nozzles 55 arranged in a vertical array on the injection pipe 54, perfluorohexanone can be quickly released when a fire occurs, forming a dense fire extinguishing agent spray, quickly suppressing the spread of fire, and improving fire extinguishing efficiency. The design of the gas distribution pipe 52 and the injection pipe 54 ensures that the perfluorohexanone gas can be evenly sprayed into the battery storage box from multiple directions, forming a dense fire extinguishing agent spray, quickly suppressing the spread of fire, and improving fire extinguishing efficiency.

Through the coordinated use of the third air supply pipe 61, the shunt pipe 62 and the shunt branch pipe 63, a large amount of cold air is transported into the cabinet 11, which quickly reduces the operating temperature of the battery pack and drives the cold air at the lower air inlet of the cabinet 11 to enter the cabinet 11 faster and flow upward with natural convection, thereby more effectively taking away the heat generated by the battery pack during operation, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the entire battery pack.

[0063] The principles and advantages of the present invention are:
[0064] The temperature acquisition module is used to detect the status inside the cabinet. When the temperature inside the cabinet rises, the system can open the air compressor and the second regulating valve. The vortex tube is not only used to generate cold air flow and guide it to the heat dissipation component, but the cold air flow generated by the vortex tube acts directly on the top of the battery pack through the heat dissipation component, which can effectively take away heat, achieve rapid cooling, achieve efficient heat dissipation, reduce fire risks, improve the safety and reliability of the cabinet system, and can also guide the hot air flow to the heat exchanger through the second branch pipe to achieve secondary utilization of energy and improve the overall energy efficiency of the system.
[0065] When a fire is detected by the flame collection module, the system can turn on the air compressor and the first regulating valve, and use the hot air flow generated by the vortex tube to heat the liquid perfluorohexanone in the fire extinguishing agent tank, so that it can be quickly vaporized and sprayed into the battery pack tank through the fire extinguishing component. Perfluorohexanone, as a clean fire extinguishing agent, will not damage the battery pack and has no residue, ensuring the safety of the battery pack and the possibility of subsequent use. At the same time, the cold air flow generated by the vortex tube can directly act on the inside of the cabinet, especially the area above the battery pack, which helps to reduce the temperature rise caused by the fire, thereby protecting the undamaged battery cells from high temperature, and reducing the risk of fire spread, timely controlling the fire, and preventing the secondary damage of the fire extinguishing operation to the battery pack; by reasonably allocating the heat and cold energy generated by the vortex tube, the system is more efficient in responding to emergencies. The energy at the hot end is used to accelerate the gasification process of perfluorohexanone, while the cold end directly participates in the emergency cooling on site, realizing the maximum utilization of energy.
[0066] The battery cabinet is equipped with a temperature acquisition module, a flame acquisition module and a cooling control module, which can monitor the temperature changes in the cabinet in real time and automatically adjust the working status of the air compressor, the first regulating valve and the second regulating valve according to the preset conditions. This intelligent management method greatly improves the response speed and operation stability of the system and can intervene in the use of the cabinet in a timely manner.

When cold air enters the serpentine tube from the left port of the serpentine curved tube 42 and is sent into the U-shaped portion 422 by the straight tube portion 421, a certain pressure difference will be formed in the U-shaped portion 422, prompting external hot air to enter the U-shaped portion 422 through the air supply port 424, and the hot air is directly discharged from the cabinet through the exhaust pipe 423, which not only increases the direct contact area between the cold and hot air, but also promotes the effective discharge of hot air, further enhancing the heat dissipation effect.
