[0065] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 which is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the energy storage converter 10 in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 which is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the energy storage converter 10 with some structures removed in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 is Figure 2 a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the structure shown with some structures removed. Some embodiments of the present application provide an energy storage converter 10, including a thermal management component 11, a plurality of components 12 and an air-cooling module 13.

[0066] The thermal management component 11 is provided with a fluid channel LP. The thermal management component 11 has a first side f1 and a second side f2 that are oppositely arranged along the first direction D1. The thermal management component 11 is a component for controlling and managing heat. The fluid channel LP is a channel for passing coolant. The presence of the fluid channel LP enables the thermal management component 11 to utilize the heat capacity and fluidity of the coolant to achieve efficient heat exchange. When the coolant flows in the channel, it can continuously absorb or release heat and perform sufficient heat exchange with each part of the thermal management component 11.

[0067] Exemplarily, with reference to Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 which is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the thermal management component 11 in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 which is an exploded structural schematic diagram of the thermal management component 11 in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 which is a top view structural schematic diagram of the thermal management component 11 in some embodiments of the present application. The thermal management component 11 may include a first body 111 and a second body 112 arranged along the first direction D1. The opposite sides of the first body 111 and the second body 112 define the fluid channel LP. It may be that a part of the side of the first body 111 facing the second body 112 is recessed to form the fluid channel LP, or a part of the side of the second body 112 facing the first body 111 is recessed to form the fluid channel LP, or both sides of the first body 111 and the second body 112 facing each other are partially recessed to form the fluid channel LP. InFigure 5 In the illustrated case, the first body 111 and the second body 112 are partially recessed on one side facing each other to form a fluid channel LP. Figure 5 Schematically shows the side where the first body 111 and the second body 112 are opposite to each other. Figure 6 The fluid channel LP located inside the heat management component 11 is indicated by a dotted line.

[0068] A plurality of components 12 are arranged on the first side f1. Components 12 refer to various electronic components, parts or assemblies that can be used to constitute electronic equipment, circuit systems or other devices. Components 12 may include capacitors, relays, transformers, Hall elements, IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) modules and power tubes, etc., without specific limitation. Components 12 are arranged on the first side f1 of the thermal management component 11, that is, heat exchange can be performed between components 12 and the thermal management component 11.

[0069] The air cooling module 13 is disposed on the first side f1. The air cooling module 13 includes a fan 131 and a heat sink 132. Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the radiator 132 in some embodiments of the present application. The radiator 132 includes a main body 1321 and a plurality of insertion portions 1322 arranged at intervals. The main body 1321 is located on the airflow path generated by the fan 131. The main body 1321 is provided with a plurality of insertion portions 1322 on one side along the first direction D1 toward the thermal management component 11. The plurality of insertion portions 1322 are inserted into the fluid channel LP.

[0070] The air cooling module 13 is a device for heat dissipation, mainly including a fan 131 and a radiator 132. The fan 131 generates an airflow by rotating the blades of the fan 131 to promote air flow. The main body 1321 of the radiator 132 is located on the airflow path generated by the fan 131, so as to better utilize the forced convection generated by the fan 131 to improve the heat exchange effect between the airflow and the radiator 132. The multiple insertion parts 1322 arranged on the main body 1321 can be inserted into the fluid channel LP of the thermal management component 11, which not only enables the radiator 132 to be more closely combined with the thermal management component 11, but also enables the radiator 132 to directly exchange heat with the coolant in the fluid channel LP, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Exemplarily, the insertion part 1322 can be constructed as a columnar member, a block member or other forms of members, which are not specifically limited here.

[0071] Thus, by configuring the radiator 132 to include a main body portion 1321 and a plurality of insertion portions 1322, and inserting the insertion portions 1322 into the fluid passage LP of the heat management component 11, not only can the fluid in the fluid passage LP be further utilized to cool the insertion portions 1322, but also the insertion portions 1322 can be used to disturb the flow of the coolant in the fluid passage LP, extend the time for the coolant to pass through the insertion portions 1322, further enhance the cooling effect of the coolant on the insertion portions 1322, and thereby cool the main body portion 1321. Since the radiator 132 is located on the airflow path generated by the fan 131, the airflow generated by the fan 131 can be cooled via the main body portion 1321, so that the components 12 on the first side f1 of the heat management component 11 can be cooled, and further improve the heat management effect of the energy storage converter 10.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figures 4 to 6 and, in combination with reference to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 8 is a schematic structural diagram of the cooperation of partial structures of the radiator 132, the fan 131, and the heat management component 11 in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 9 is a schematic diagram of the projection relationship between the component 12 and the main body section LP2 in some embodiments of the present application. The fluid passage LP includes a first buffer section LP1 and a main body section LP2. The first buffer section LP1 is connected to the inlet of the fluid passage LP, and the main body section LP2 connects the first buffer section LP1 and the outlet of the fluid passage LP. The orthographic projection of the main body section LP2 on the reference plane M and the orthographic projection of the plurality of components 12 on the reference plane M have an overlapping part. The reference plane M is a plane perpendicular to the first direction D1. The plurality of insertion portions 1322 are inserted into the first buffer section LP1.

[0073] Specifically, referring to Figure 9 , the orthographic projection of the main body section LP2 on the reference plane M is a first projection s1, and the orthographic projection of the plurality of components 12 on the reference plane M is a second projection s2. The first projection s1 and the second projection s2 have an overlapping part. Taking Figure 9 as an example, the situation where the second projection s2 is located within the first projection s1 is schematically shown. Of course, a part of the second projection s2 may be located within the first projection s1 and a part may be located outside the first projection s1, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0074] The orthographic projection of the main body section LP2 of the fluid passage LP on the reference plane M overlaps with the orthographic projections of the multiple components 12 on the reference plane M. This means that the main body section LP2 of the fluid passage LP can be closer to the components 12, enabling the coolant to more directly absorb the heat generated by the components 12, which can further effectively reduce the temperature of the components 12 and improve the working performance and stability of the components 12. In some embodiments, a flow disturbance structure can be provided on the main body section LP2 to further enhance the heat exchange effect between the main body section LP2 and the components 12.

[0075] The first buffer section LP1 is a structure with a certain volume, used to regulate and buffer the flow state of the coolant. The first buffer section LP1 can be formed by widening a part of the fluid passage LP, or can be an independent cavity connected to the fluid passage LP. Taking Figure 6 as an example, it shows the situation where the first buffer section LP1 is formed by widening a part of the fluid passage LP.

[0076] A plurality of insertion parts 1322 are inserted into the first buffer section LP1, which can buffer and pre-regulate the coolant before it enters the main body section LP2. In this way, not only does the flow rate of the coolant become more uniform and stable before entering the main body section LP2, which helps to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the coolant in the main body section LP2 and the heat-generating components 12, enabling the coolant to absorb heat more fully when flowing through the main body section LP2 and further enhancing the heat exchange effect, but it is also beneficial for more sufficient heat exchange between the insertion parts 1322 and the coolant in the first buffer section LP1, thereby being beneficial for enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the air-cooling assembly on the related components provided on the first side f1 of the thermal management component 11.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 is a top-view structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion parts 1322 in some embodiments of the present application. From the inlet of the fluid passage LP to the outlet of the fluid passage LP, the extending direction of the fluid passage LP is the reference direction. Along the reference direction, the distribution density of the plurality of insertion parts 1322 in the unit space region of the fluid passage LP shows a decreasing trend. In Figure 10 ,the inflow direction and outflow direction of the coolant are indicated by arrows.

[0078] The "unit space region" refers to a spatial range set as a target quantity within the spatial scope defined by the fluid passage LP, that is, the unit space region is a region with a target volume. For example, the fluid passage LP can be divided into several cube regions of the same size, and each such cube region can be regarded as a unit space region.

[0079] The distribution density within a unit spatial region is used to characterize the density of the insertion portions 1322. For example, the distribution density within a unit spatial region refers to the spatial proportion occupied by the insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region. Among them, if all the insertion portions 1322 are of the same size and all the insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region are completely located within this unit spatial region, then the space occupied by the insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region is also equal to the number of insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region multiplied by the space occupied by a single insertion portion 1322; if all the insertion portions 1322 are not completely of the same size and a part of the insertion portions 1322 located within the unit spatial region is complete while a part is incomplete, then the space occupied by the insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region is the sum of the total space occupied by all the complete insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region and the total space occupied by all the incomplete insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region. The smaller the distribution density of the insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region, the sparser the insertion portions 1322 are characterized, and vice versa, the denser they are. The size and shape of the selected unit spatial region depend on the definition of the size of different unit spatial regions. After the size of the unit spatial region is defined, the size of the unit spatial region has a relative size and shape. For example, the size of the unit spatial region can be 1 cm 3 (cubic centimeter), or it can be 1 mm 3 (cubic millimeter), or it can also be 1100 mm 3 (cubic millimeter), etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations on this. It can be understood that the shapes of the respective unit spatial regions in all unit spatial regions are the same and the sizes are also the same.

[0080] "Along the reference direction, the distribution density of the plurality of insertion portions 1322 within the unit spatial region of the fluid passage LP shows a decreasing trend", that is, along the reference direction, the insertion portions 1322 show a trend of becoming sparser.

[0081] Thus, the distribution density of the insertion part 1322 near the inlet of the fluid channel LP is relatively large, which can increase the contact area between the coolant and the insertion part 1322, extend the contact time between the coolant and the insertion part 1322, enable more sufficient heat exchange, and improve the air-cooling effect of the air-cooling module 13 on the related components located on the first side f1 of the thermal management component 11. At the same time, since the temperature of the coolant is relatively low when it first enters the fluid channel LP, when it contacts the area with a relatively large distribution density of the insertion part 1322, part of the cold quantity can be transferred to the radiator 132, so that when the coolant flows through the main body section LP2 and contacts the component 12 subsequently, the temperature difference is relatively reduced, which helps to reduce the thermal stress and improve the damage to the component 12 caused by too large a cold and hot temperature difference. It can be understood that with the cooperation of the air-cooling module 13 and the coolant, it is beneficial to improve the temperature uniformity of the component 12. Further, by controlling the distribution density of the insertion part 1322, the coolant entering the fluid channel LP can be preliminarily shunted and rectified, so that the coolant is more evenly distributed in the fluid channel LP. As the coolant flows towards the outlet of the fluid channel LP, the distribution density of the insertion part 1322 gradually decreases, which can keep the coolant in a relatively stable distribution state during the flow process and further improve the uniformity of heat dissipation.

[0082] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 10 , along the reference direction, the distribution density of the plurality of insertion parts 1322 in the unit space area of the fluid channel LP gradually decreases.

[0083] When the coolant flows in the channel, its characteristics such as velocity and pressure will change along the flow direction. Generally speaking, as the coolant flows from the inlet of the fluid channel LP to the outlet of the fluid channel LP, its velocity will gradually decrease and the pressure will also gradually decrease. By configuring the distribution density of the insertion part 1322 to gradually decrease, this change in fluid characteristics can be better adapted. In this way, while being beneficial to improving the temperature uniformity as mentioned above, it is also beneficial to the flow of the coolant in the flow channel.

[0084] Of course, in some other embodiments, along the reference direction, the distribution density of the plurality of insertion parts 1322 in the unit space area of the fluid channel LP can decrease in stages. By adjusting the distribution density of the insertion part 1322 in stages, the flow rate, flow direction and turbulence degree of the coolant can be controlled at different stages. No specific limitation is made here.

[0085] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion part 1322 in some other embodiments of the present application, Figure 12FIG. 0 is a top view structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion portions 1322 in some other embodiments of the present application. From the inlet of the fluid channel LP to the outlet of the fluid channel LP, the extending direction of the fluid channel LP is taken as the reference direction. Along the reference direction, the distribution density of the plurality of insertion portions 1322 in the unit space region of the fluid channel LP first shows an increasing trend and then shows a decreasing trend. In Figure 12 the inflow and outflow directions of the coolant are indicated by arrows.

[0086] In this way, the insertion portions 1322 show a trend of first becoming denser and then becoming sparser. In this way, the insertion portions 1322 near the inlet and the outlet among all the insertion portions are relatively sparse, and the insertion portions 1322 in the middle part are relatively dense. Thus, in addition to the advantages of improving the heat dissipation uniformity and the like mentioned above, it is not only beneficial to improve the situation of blockage when the coolant enters and exits the insertion portions, but also beneficial to improve the heat exchange effect of the air flow through the heat exchange with the insertion portions 1322 in the middle part.

[0087] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figures 10 to 12 , all the insertion portions 1322 are arranged in rows along the second direction D2 and in columns along the third direction D3. The first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 intersect pairwise. Exemplarily, the first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 are pairwise perpendicular.

[0088] In this way, by arranging the insertion portions 1322 regularly, it is beneficial to control the distribution density of the insertion portions 1322.

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , Figure 13 FIG. 22 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion portions in some other embodiments of the present application, Figure 14 FIG. 24 is a top view structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion portions in some other embodiments of the present application, and all the insertion portions 1322 are arranged irregularly.

[0090] In this way, by arranging the insertion portions 1322 irregularly, it is beneficial to further improve the heat exchange effect between the coolant and the insertion portions 1322.

[0091] Of course, in some other embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 FIG. 34 is a structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion portions in some other embodiments of the present application. The corresponding distribution density of the insertion portions 1322 can also remain unchanged, and all the insertion portions 1322 can be arranged in a rectangular array, and the distance between two adjacent insertion portions 1322 is the same. In this way, it is beneficial to arrange the insertion portions 1322 on the main body portion 1321. There is no specific limitation here.

[0092] According to some embodiments of the present application, continue to refer to Figures 4 to 6 , and in combination with reference to Figure 16 , Figure 16 FIG. is a top view structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion portions in still other embodiments of the present application. The inlet of the fluid channel LP and the outlet of the fluid channel LP are located on the same side of the heat management component 11. The fluid channel LP includes a first buffer section LP1, a second buffer section LP3, and a main body section LP2 connecting the first buffer section LP1 and the second buffer section LP3. The first buffer section LP1 communicates with the inlet of the fluid channel LP, and the second buffer section LP3 communicates with the outlet of the fluid channel LP. The orthographic projection of the main body section LP2 on the reference plane M and the orthographic projection of the plurality of components 12 on the reference plane M have an overlapping part, and the reference plane M is a plane perpendicular to the first direction D1. A part of the plurality of insertion portions 1322 is inserted into the first buffer section LP1, and another part of the plurality of insertion portions 1322 is inserted into the second buffer section LP3.

[0093] For the understanding and advantages of the projection relationship between the main body section LP2 and the component 12, reference may be made to the content illustrated in the foregoing some embodiments, and details are not described herein again. For the understanding of the first buffer section LP1 and the second buffer section LP3, reference may be made to the first buffer section LP1 illustrated in the foregoing some embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

[0094] By providing the second buffer section LP3 to cooperate with the insertion portion 1322, the cold quantity of the coolant flowing from the main body section LP2 into the second buffer section LP3 can be further utilized, thereby further improving the heat exchange effect. In addition, by providing the first buffer section LP1 and the second buffer section LP3, the coolant can be buffered before flowing into the main body section LP2 and after flowing out of the main body section LP2, so that the flow stability of the coolant in the main body section LP2 is further improved. In the case where there are buffer sections both upstream and downstream of the main body section LP2, the coolant located in the main body section LP2 can also perform more sufficient heat exchange with the component 12, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0095] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 16 , from the inlet of the fluid channel LP to the outlet of the fluid channel LP, the extending direction of the fluid channel LP is the reference direction. Along the reference direction, the distribution density of all the insertion portions 1322 located in the first buffer section LP1 shows a decreasing trend in the unit space area of the fluid channel LP.

[0096] Reference may be made to the related implementation manners and advantages of the distribution density of the insertion portions 1322 in the first buffer section LP1 illustrated in the foregoing some embodiments, and details are not described herein again.

[0097] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 16 , along the reference direction, the distribution density of all the insertion parts 1322 located in the first buffer section LP1 gradually decreases within the unit space area of the fluid channel LP.

[0098] The relevant implementation manners and advantages of the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 in the first buffer section LP1 shown in the foregoing some embodiments can be referred to for understanding, and will not be elaborated herein.

[0099] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 16 , from the inlet of the fluid channel LP to the outlet of the fluid channel LP, the extending direction of the fluid channel LP is the reference direction. Along the reference direction, the distribution density of all the insertion parts 1322 located in the second buffer section LP3 shows an increasing trend within the unit space area of the fluid channel LP.

[0100] By making the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 in the second buffer section LP3 show an increasing trend, a certain blocking and shunting effect can be exerted on the coolant, so that the coolant with a faster flow rate decelerates and the coolant with a slower flow rate accelerates, thereby making the flow rate of the coolant at the outlet of the fluid channel LP more uniform and stable, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the entire heat pipeline component. At the same time, the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 shows an increasing trend, which can form more turbulences and vortices of the coolant in the second buffer section LP3, promoting the mixing of the coolant. This helps to improve the temperature stratification phenomenon in the coolant, make the temperature of the coolant more uniform, further improve the heat exchange efficiency, and at the same time can also reduce problems such as scaling caused by local overheating of the coolant.

[0101] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 16 , along the reference direction, the distribution density of all the insertion parts 1322 located in the second buffer section LP3 gradually increases within the unit space area of the fluid channel LP.

[0102] Referring to the content shown in the foregoing some embodiments, as the coolant flows from the inlet of the fluid channel LP to the outlet of the fluid channel LP, its speed will gradually decrease and the pressure will also gradually decrease. By configuring the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 located in the second buffer section LP3 to gradually increase, the change of this fluid characteristic can be better adapted. In this way, while being beneficial to improving the temperature uniformity as mentioned above, the residence time of the coolant in the flow channel can be extended, further promoting more sufficient heat exchange between the coolant in the main body section LP2 and the component 12.

[0103] Of course, in some other embodiments, along the reference direction, the distribution density of all the insertion parts 1322 located within the second buffer section LP3 can increase step by step within the unit spatial region of the fluid channel LP. By adjusting the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 step by step, the flow rate, flow direction, and degree of turbulence of the coolant can be controlled at different stages. No specific limitation is made herein.

[0104] It should be noted that when, along the reference direction, the distribution density of all the insertion parts 1322 located within the first buffer section LP1 shows a decreasing trend within the unit spatial region of the fluid channel LP, and the distribution density of all the insertion parts 1322 located within the second buffer section LP3 shows an increasing trend within the unit spatial region of the fluid channel LP, in addition to having the advantages demonstrated in some of the foregoing embodiments, the heat exchange effect between the cooling liquid within the main section LP2 and the component 12 can be jointly enhanced through the mutual cooperation among the first buffer section LP1, the second buffer section LP3, and the insertion parts 1322.

[0105] It should also be noted that when "a part of all the insertion parts 1322 is inserted into the first buffer section LP1 and the other part of the plurality of insertion parts 1322 is inserted into the second buffer section LP3", the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 within the first buffer section LP1 and the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 within the second buffer section LP3 can also be implemented in accordance with the relevant implementation manners of the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 within the first buffer section LP1 when "all the insertion parts 1322 are inserted into the first buffer section LP1", and no specific limitation is made herein. Exemplarily, taking Figure 17 and Figure 18 as an example, Figure 17 is a top-view structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion parts in some other embodiments of the present application, Figure 18 is a top-view structural schematic diagram of the distribution state of the insertion parts in some other embodiments of the present application, showing that the change trend of the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 within the first buffer section LP1 is first increasing and then decreasing, and the change trend of the distribution density of the insertion parts 1322 within the second buffer section LP3 is first increasing and then decreasing. The insertion parts 1322 are generally arranged sparsely first, then densely, and then sparsely within the corresponding buffer sections. Thus, as described above, in addition to the advantages such as being beneficial to improving the heat dissipation uniformity, it is not only beneficial to improve the situation of blockage when the coolant enters and exits the insertion parts, but also beneficial to enhancing the heat exchange effect of the air flow through the heat exchange with the insertion parts 1322 in the middle part.

[0106] In addition, continuing to take Figure 17 and Figure 18 as an example, in some implementation manners, the insertion parts 1322 can be arranged regularly or irregularly, and can be combined with those in some of the foregoing embodiments such asFigures 11 to 14 It can be understood according to the illustrated situation, which will not be elaborated here.

[0107] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 , two concave portions recessed in a direction away from the first body 111 are provided on the second body 112 of the thermal management component 11. The two concave portions cooperate with the first body 111 to form a first buffer section LP1 and a second buffer section LP3. Correspondingly, a through hole k is provided on the first body 111, and the insertion portion 1322 is inserted into the first buffer section LP1 through the through hole k, and the main body portion 1321 is hermetically connected to the first body 111.

[0108] Since the main bodies of the first buffer section LP1 and the second buffer section LP3 are formed on the second body 112, the space on the side of the second body 112 away from the first body 111 can be utilized, which is beneficial to the arrangement of related components on the side of the first body 111 away from the second body 112.

[0109] Of course, when the insertion portion 1322 is inserted into the first buffer section LP1 and the second buffer section LP3, two through holes k can be provided on the first body 111, which will not be elaborated here. In addition, in some embodiments, at least some of all the insertion portions 1322 can be inserted into the first buffer section LP1. Specifically, all the insertion portions 1322 illustrated in the foregoing some embodiments can be inserted into the first buffer section LP1, or a part of all the insertion portions 1322 illustrated in the foregoing some embodiments can be inserted into the first buffer section LP1, and the other part can be inserted into the second buffer section LP3. Of course, a part of all the insertion portions 1322 can also be inserted into the first buffer section LP1 or the second buffer section LP3, and the other part can be inserted into the main body section LP2. No specific limitation is made here.

[0110] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 19 , Figure 19 is Figure 2 a top view structural schematic diagram of the structure illustrated, and the energy storage converter 10 further includes a box body 14. The box body 14 has an accommodation cavity, the thermal management component 11 is arranged in the accommodation cavity, a first side f1 of the thermal management component 11 and the cavity wall of the accommodation cavity define an accommodation cavity, and a plurality of components 12 and an air-cooling module 13 are arranged in the accommodation cavity. A plurality of fans 131 are provided, and all the fans 131 are configured to be able to generate an annular air flow arranged around an axis in the accommodation cavity, and the main body portion 1321 is located on the path of the annular air flow, and the extending direction of the axis is parallel to the first direction D1.

[0111] The housing 14 may include a first part 141 and a second part 142, and the first part 141 and the second part 142 cooperate to form a receiving cavity. Among them, Figure 2 It is a schematic structural diagram of removing the first part 141. Among them, a liquid inlet joint J1 communicating with the inlet of the fluid passage LP and a liquid outlet joint J2 communicating with the outlet of the fluid passage LP can be provided on the second part 142.

[0112] All the fans 131 generate an annular air flow arranged around the axis, and the main body 1321 of the radiator 132 is located on this air flow path, enabling the main body 1321 to be in full contact with the air flow. Since the annular air flow can exchange heat with the main body 1321 of the radiator 132, the annular air flow can dissipate heat from the related components provided on the first side f1 of the thermal management component 11. The combination of the thermal management component 11 and the annular air flow air cooling forms a dual heat dissipation mechanism. The thermal management component 11 can effectively take away a large amount of heat generated by the components 12, and the cooperation between the annular air flow and the radiator 132, as well as the cooperation between the radiator 132 and the thermal management component 11, further strengthens the heat dissipation of the entire accommodation cavity. The two heat dissipation methods cooperate with each other, can better meet the heat dissipation requirements under different working conditions, and improve the heat dissipation performance and adaptability of the energy storage converter 10.

[0113] It should be noted that the annular air flow can form a continuous air flow path around the main body 1321 of the radiator 132 and related heat generating components, comprehensively covering the area that needs to be dissipated, and can be in more full contact with the heat generating surface and take away more heat compared with the traditional linear or local air flow, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and being beneficial to improving the temperature uniformity of the overall device.

[0114] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 20 , Figure 20 is a schematic structural diagram of multiple fans 131 cooperating to form a circulating flow in some embodiments of the present application. At least three fans 131 are provided. All the fans 131 are configured to be able to generate two annular air flows arranged along the second direction D2 in the accommodation cavity, and the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect with each other.

[0115] Exemplarily, in combination with referring to Figure 20 , the situation where two annular air flows are arranged along the second direction D2 is shown. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 can be perpendicular to each other.

[0116] By forming two annular air flows, a relatively uniform air flow distribution can be formed in the accommodation cavity, which can more comprehensively cover the related components that need to be dissipated, improve the situation of heat dissipation dead corners, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0117] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 20, the thermal management component 11 has a first area A1, a second area A2, and a third area A3 arranged along the second direction D2, and all the fans 131 are disposed in the first area A1, the second area A2, and the third area A3. The fan 131 disposed in the first area A1 is defined as the first fan 131a, the fan 131 disposed in the second area A2 is defined as the second fan 131b, and the fan 131 disposed in the third area A3 is defined as the third fan 131c. The main body portion 1321 is located on the airflow path generated by the second fan 131b. The first fan 131a and the second fan 131b are configured to be able to generate one of the annular airflows, and the second fan 131b and the third fan 131c are configured to be able to generate the other of the annular airflows.

[0118] Among them, in Figure 20 , the first area A1, the second area A2, and the third area A3 are schematically shown in dotted lines, but not limited thereto. There may be boundaries on the thermal management component 11 to distinguish each area, or there may be no boundaries to distinguish each area.

[0119] Since the main body portion 1321 is located on the airflow path generated by the second fan 131b, the second fan 131b can directly dissipate heat from the main body portion 1321. And by respectively cooperating with the second fan 131b and the third fan 131c to generate two annular airflows, the airflows can be more evenly distributed in different areas of the thermal management component 11, thereby improving the situation of local overheating, and further being beneficial to improving the overall temperature uniformity. Since the second fan 131b can respectively form a circulating flow with the first fan 131a and the third fan 131c, the two circulating flows will form the intersection and mixing of the airflows in the second area A2, increasing the air flow velocity and disturbance degree in the second area A2. This enables the heat in the second area A2 to be taken away by the airflow more quickly, enhancing the heat exchange efficiency and being beneficial to dissipating heat from the heat-generating components in the second area A2.

[0120] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 20 , a plurality of components 12 are disposed in the first area A1, the second area A2, and the third area A3. The average heat generation amount of all the components 12 disposed in the first area A1 and the average heat generation amount of all the components 12 disposed in the third area A3 are both less than the average heat generation amount of all the components 12 disposed in the second area A2.

[0121] In the embodiments of the present application, the calorific value refers to the calorific value emitted by the component 12 when it operates to a stable state (the calorific value is relatively stable) under the rated voltage. Taking all the components 12 disposed in the first region A1 as an example, the rated voltages corresponding to all the components 12 disposed in the first region A1 may be different or the same. The average calorific value of all the components 12 disposed in the first region A1 can be the average value of the calorific values corresponding to all the components 12 disposed in the first region A1 when each component 12 operates to a stable state under the rated voltage corresponding to each component 12. The "average calorific value of all the components 12 disposed in the second region A2" and the "average calorific value of all the components 12 disposed in the third region A3" can be understood by referring to the "average calorific value of all the components 12 disposed in the first region A1", and will not be elaborated herein.

[0122] The component 12 with a small calorific value is less affected by the surrounding ambient temperature. By arranging the components 12 with a large calorific value in a partitioned manner from the components 12 with a large calorific value, the thermal interference of the components 12 with a large calorific value on the components 12 with a small calorific value can be reduced. Compared with the first region A1 and the third region A3, the heat in the second region A2 can be taken away by the air flow more quickly. Therefore, arranging the components 12 with a relatively large calorific value in the second region A2 and arranging the components 12 with a relatively small calorific value in the first region A1 and the third region A3 can better utilize the two circulation flows to dissipate heat from different regions and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0123] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 21 , Figure 21 FIG. is a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of the cooperation between the radiator 132 and the second fan 131b in some embodiments of the present application. The main body portion 1321 includes at least one column of a plurality of heat dissipation fins e arranged at intervals along the first direction D1, and each column of heat dissipation fins e defines an interval channel GP. The inlet side of the second fan 131b is connected to one side of the main body portion 1321, and the inlet of the second fan 131b is communicated with the interval channel GP.

[0124] The heat dissipation fins e can be provided with one column, two columns or other numbers of columns, and no specific limitation is made herein. Taking Figure 21 as an example, the case where the heat dissipation fins e are provided with two columns is illustrated.

[0125] In this way, the airflow entering the inlet side of the second fan 131b will first pass through the spacing channel GP. That is, the heat sink e will divide the airflow entering the inlet side of the second fan 131b, so that the airflow can more evenly contact each part of the main body 1321 of the radiator 132, thereby increasing the actual contact area between the airflow and the heat sink e. More airflow contacts the surface of the heat sink e, which can speed up the heat exchange between the main body 1321 of the radiator 132 and the airflow, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency. At the same time, the airflow divided by the heat sink e can better break the airflow boundary layer, reduce thermal resistance, and further enhance the heat exchange effect.

[0126] It should be noted that the heat sink e can be constructed as a straight sheet structure, a wavy sheet structure, or an inclined sheet structure. The sizes of the spacing channels GP formed by all the heat sinks e can be different, completely the same, or partially the same. No specific limitation is made here.

[0127] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 20 The heat management component 11 has a first side b1 and a second side b2 arranged opposite to each other along the third direction D3. The first direction D1, the second direction D2 and the third direction D3 intersect each other. Compared with the second side b2, the second fan 131b is arranged closer to the first side b1. Compared with the first side b1, the first fan 131a and the third fan 131c are arranged closer to the second side b2.

[0128] Illustratively, in the embodiment of the present application, the first direction D1 , the second direction D2 , and the third direction D3 are perpendicular to each other.

[0129] Such a layout can make the airflow generated by the fans 131 cover more areas. Through the synergy between the fans 131, the airflow can form a good circulation, so that the air can flow fully, thereby dissipating heat in each area, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation effect.

[0130] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 The main body 1321 includes at least one row of a plurality of heat sinks e arranged at intervals along the first direction D1, and each row of heat sinks e defines a spacing channel GP. The inlet side of one of the fans 131 is connected to one side of the main body 1321, and the inlet of the one of the fans 131 is connected to the spacing channel GP.

[0131] The inlet side of the fan 131 is connected to one side of the main body portion 1321, and the inlet of the fan 131 communicates with the spaced channel GP. The advantages thereof can be understood by referring to the advantages of the inlet side of the aforementioned second fan 131b being connected to one side of the main body portion 1321, which will not be elaborated herein.

[0132] It should be noted that when the inlet side of the fan 131 is connected to one side of the main body portion 1321 and the inlet of the fan 131 communicates with the spaced channel GP, when coordinating the distribution density of the insertion portion 1322 within the first buffer section LP1, due to the different distribution densities of the insertion portion 1322, there are differences in the heat exchange degrees of different regions where the main body portion 1321 contacts the insertion portion 1322. In the region where the density of the insertion portion 1322 is large, the contact area with the coolant is large, and the heat exchange is more sufficient, so the temperature of the corresponding part of the main body portion 1321 will be lower. While in the region where the density of the insertion portion 1322 is small, the heat exchange is relatively weak, and the temperature of the corresponding part of the main body portion 1321 will be relatively high. Different temperatures of each part of the main body portion 1321 will result in different convection situations when the air flow passes through. In the region with a higher temperature, the air is heated and expands, with a smaller density, and will generate an upward convection movement, attracting the surrounding air flow to flow towards this region, and the flow rate of the air flow will be faster. While in the region with a lower temperature, the air density is larger, the air flow is relatively stable, and even a local air sinking phenomenon may occur, and the flow rate of the air flow will be slower. In this way, when the air flow passes through the main body portion 1321 with different temperatures, the direction and speed of the air flow will change, forming a more complex convection, which is beneficial to the mixing of the air flow. It can be understood that since the closer to the inlet of the fan 131, the faster the air flow rate, it can cooperate with the main body portion 1321 with temperature differences to form a more uniform air flow, improving the heat dissipation effect of the air flow on the corresponding components.

[0133] Certainly, when the insertion portion 1322 in the first buffer section LP1 and the insertion portion 1322 in the second buffer section LP3 respectively have the distribution densities shown in some of the aforementioned embodiments, when coordinating with the inlet side of the fan 131 being connected to one side of the main body portion 1321, the advantages can be referred to the content shown above, which will not be elaborated herein. Different from the situation of only controlling the distribution density of the insertion portion 1322 in the first buffer section LP1, since the first buffer section LP1 and the second buffer section LP3 can play a synergistic role, it is more beneficial to improve the overall temperature uniformity.

[0134] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 22 and Figure 23 , Figure 22 is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the cooperation between the main body portion 1321 of the radiator 132 and the fan 131 in some other embodiments of the present application, Figure 23The schematic diagram of the top view of the structure of the main body 1321 and the fan 131 of the radiator 132 in other embodiments of the present application, the main body 1321 includes a plurality of heat sinks e arranged at intervals along the second direction D2. A spacing channel GP is defined between two adjacent heat sinks e along the second direction D2. The fan 131 is connected to one side of the main body 1321 along the third direction D3, the inlet side of the fan 131 is arranged facing the main body 1321, and the inlet of the fan 131 is connected to the spacing channel GP. The heat sink e is longitudinally extended along the first direction D1, and the heat sink e has a first end t1 and a second end t2 arranged opposite to each other along the third direction D3. The first end t1 of the heat sink e is an end arranged toward the fan 131, and the second end t2 of the heat sink e is an end arranged away from the fan 131. The first ends t1 of all the heat sinks e are close to each other, and the second ends t2 of all the heat sinks e are distributed in a divergent shape.

[0135] Since one end of all the heat sinks e is close to each other and the other end is distributed in a divergent shape, the spacing channel GP farther away from the inlet of the fan 131 is wider, so that when the airflow enters the spacing channel GP from the second end t2 of the heat sink e, the flow speed of the airflow is slower than the flow speed of the airflow at the inlet of the fan 131, thereby increasing the residence time of the airflow, so that the heat exchange between the airflow and the heat sink e is more sufficient. Therefore, this change in airflow speed and residence time helps to more efficiently exchange heat between the airflow and the heat sink e, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency.

[0136] According to some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first side f1 of the thermal management component 11 includes a plurality of mounting areas X. The energy storage converter 10 further includes a plurality of temperature averaging plates 15. The plurality of temperature averaging plates 15 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of mounting areas X. The temperature averaging plates 15 are arranged one-to-one with at least some of the plurality of components 12. The corresponding components 12 are installed on the side of the temperature averaging plates 15 away from the thermal management component 11. It should be noted that in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The components 12 disposed on the temperature homogenizing plate 15 are not shown.

[0137] The heat pipe 15 is a flat heat dissipation component with high efficient heat conduction ability, usually made of materials with high thermal conductivity, such as metals like copper and aluminum or some high-performance composite materials. The heat pipe 15 utilizes the phase change material or high thermal conductivity structure inside to achieve rapid heat transfer and uniform distribution of heat. When one side of the heat pipe 15 contacts the component 12, the heat will quickly conduct through the plate material to the entire heat pipe 15. At the same time, the phase change material inside the heat pipe 15 will absorb heat and undergo a phase change in the high-temperature area, and then release heat and undergo a reverse phase change in the lower-temperature area. In this way, rapid heat transfer and homogenization are achieved, making the temperature difference on the surface of the heat pipe 15 extremely small, playing a role in temperature equalization.

[0138] Exemplarily, the component 12 can be an IGBT. Of course, the component 12 can also be an inductor, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0139] In this way, by setting the heat pipe 15, not only can the temperature distribution on the surface of the component 12 be made more uniform, thereby improving the performance stability and reliability of the device, reducing the thermal stress and device aging caused by uneven temperature, but also the heat generated by the component 12 can be quickly transferred to the heat management component 11, and the heat is taken away by the coolant in the heat management component 11, effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0140] It should be noted that the heat pipe 15 can be embedded in the first side f1 of the heat management component 11. The heat pipe 15 can be flush with the heat management component 11 or protrude from the heat management component 11, and no specific limitation is made here. The heat pipe 15 can be connected to the heat management component 11 by means of thermal conductive adhesive. Of course, the heat pipe 15 can also be connected to the heat management component 11 by welding. No specific limitation is made here.

[0141] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 2 , the energy storage converter 10 further includes a circuit board assembly 16, and the circuit board assembly 16 is disposed on the first side f1 of the heat management component 11. The circuit board assembly 16 includes a circuit board and related devices disposed on the circuit board. The circuit board assembly 16 can be used to achieve electrical connection between the components 12. Of course, the energy storage converter 10 can also include other components, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0142] According to some embodiments of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 1, the energy storage converter 10 may have at least one of a photovoltaic interface, a battery interface, a grid input interface, a DC output interface, and an AC output interface. Among them, the energy storage converter 10 can be connected to a solar cell or other renewable energy power generation system through the photovoltaic interface, and the energy storage converter 10 is connected to the battery through the battery interface. The battery can store electrical energy so that the electrical energy of the battery can be converted and output through the energy storage converter 10. The grid input interface can access the high-voltage electrical energy of the grid and output it to low-voltage electrical equipment or systems after being stepped down by the energy storage converter 10. The AC output interface can be connected to products that require alternating current, such as household appliances, and the energy storage converter 10 outputs electrical appliances by converting alternating current into direct current. The DC output interface can be connected to devices that require direct current, such as charging piles.

[0143] In this way, it can be flexibly set according to actual usage requirements, improving the adaptability of the energy storage converter 10 and meeting the usage requirements in different scenarios. Specific limitations are not made here.

[0145] In some embodiments, the energy storage system further includes a battery, and the aforementioned energy storage converter 10 is electrically connected to the battery. The energy storage converter 10 can convert energy generated by solar energy, wind power generation, or fuel cells into direct current and store it in the battery, and output the electrical energy in the battery when needed. The energy storage system can provide reliable energy reserves for users and provide backup power for users when power outages or power shortages occur, facilitating user use.

[0146] The energy storage system also has the same advantages as those of the aforementioned energy storage converter 10, which will not be elaborated here.

[0147] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0148] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
