[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6, in one embodiment, the present application provides a storage device for cylindrical batteries, which includes a box body 1. A plurality of compartments are provided in the box body 1. An electric fan 2 and a control module 3 are provided in each compartment. The electric fan 2 is electrically connected to the control module 3, and the control module 3 is electrically connected to a control panel 4 provided on the box body 1;

[0042] A plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the rear side of the box body 1. A baffle 5 is pluggably connected to the rear side of the box body 1, and the baffle 5 blocks the plurality of ventilation holes;

[0043] A placement box 6 is provided in each compartment. A buffer assembly 7 for placing batteries is provided in the placement box 6, and a clamping assembly 8 is provided in the buffer assembly 7;

[0044] An opening and closing assembly 9 is rotatably connected to the box body 1, and the opening and closing assembly 9 is hermetically connected to the box body 1.

[0045] Specifically, the control module 3 is internally provided with a battery for supplying power to the electric fan and a switch for controlling the start of the electric fan. The control panel 4 is provided with a battery, an operation button, a data interface, and a display screen. The control panel 4 is internally provided with a control system, and each compartment can be monitored and controlled through the control system;

[0046] Further, when the external box body 1 is in a relatively high-temperature environment, ventilation and heat dissipation can be carried out by using the electric fan 2; when sealed storage is required, the opening and closing assembly 9 is closed, and the baffle 5 blocks the ventilation holes to form a relatively airtight environment. The structure of the baffle 5 can be integral or separated. The integral type uniformly blocks or opens the ventilation openings of each compartment, and the separated type is for targeted individual management or setting of each compartment.

[0047] In summary, by placing the battery in the buffer assembly 7 and using the buffer assembly 7 to buffer the battery during handling, a certain shock absorption and buffering effect can be achieved. At the same time, with the cooperation of the clamping assembly 8, it can ensure that the battery is in a relatively stable or stationary state, avoiding the problem of battery surface damage caused by excessive shaking. Using the opening and closing assembly 9 and the baffle 5 to form a certain airtight space for the battery placement environment can prevent external humid air from entering the box body 1, avoiding battery moisture, and when the internal environment temperature of the box body 1 is too high, by pulling out the baffle 5 and using the control panel 4 to start the electric fan 2 in each compartment to blow cold air, the internal environment of the box body 1 is cooled, avoiding the battery being in a high-temperature environment for a long time and affecting the battery performance. Overall, the heat dissipation efficiency is higher and the functions are more complete.

[0048] Specifically, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , on the basis of the above embodiment, the buffer assembly 7 includes a bottom plate 701, a buffer plate 702, a first spring 703, a clamping plate 704, and a second spring 705;

[0049] A bottom plate 701 is provided in the box body 1, a buffer plate 702 is provided above the bottom plate 701, a clamping assembly 8 is provided on the buffer plate 702, and a first spring 703 is connected between the buffer plate 702 and the bottom plate 701;

[0050] A plurality of guide holes are formed in the buffer plate 702, and a plurality of placing holes adapted to the guide holes are formed in the bottom plate 701;

[0051] Both sides of the buffer plate 702 are connected to the clamping plates 704, and a second spring 705 is connected between the side of the clamping plate 704 facing away from the buffer plate 702 and the box body 1.

[0052] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the number and size of the guide holes are the same as those of the placing holes, and the center points of the guide holes and the placing holes are coaxial. Among them, the guide holes are through holes and the placing holes are blind holes. The batteries can be placed orderly by using the placing holes and the guide holes. When carrying the placing box 6 or the entire box body 1, the first spring 703 can buffer the vibration in the vertical direction, and the second spring 705 provides a lateral elastic clamping force, which can not only fix the buffer plate 702, but also allow the battery to slightly rebound when being squeezed, avoiding hard friction or extrusion damage, so as to play a buffering role for the battery.

[0053] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , on the basis of the above embodiment, the clamping assembly 8 includes a guide rod 801, a clamping block 802, a third spring 803, a rubber pad 804 and a connecting plate 805;

[0054] Two clamping blocks 802 are correspondingly arranged for each guide hole, a rubber pad 804 is arranged on each clamping block 802, the clamping block 802 is slidably connected to the guide rod 801 arranged on the buffer plate 702, a third spring 803 is arranged between the guide rod 801 and the clamping block 802, the clamping blocks 802 on the same side are connected together by a connecting plate 805, and the connecting plate 805 is connected to the unlocking assembly 10 arranged on the buffer plate 702.

[0055] It can be understood that the two clamping blocks 802 and the rubber pad 804 are arranged near the center point of the guide hole. Through this design, the compression degree of the third spring 803 can be used to clamp cylindrical batteries of various diameters, so that various batteries can be placed. The overall application range is wider. At the same time, the rubber pad 804 is used to contact the battery surface, which can avoid the clamping block 802 from directly contacting the battery surface and causing damage or wear on the battery surface. The clamping component 8 is provided to clamp the battery with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the guide hole, which plays a relatively fixed role. During the unlocking process, since the connecting plate 805 connects the clamping blocks 802 on the same side, the user only needs to turn the connecting plate 805 to turn all the clamping blocks 802, thereby unlocking the battery.

[0056] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , based on the above embodiment, the opening and closing assembly 9 includes a hinge 901, a door 902, a sealing strip 903 and a handle 904;

[0057] The box door 902 is connected to the box body 1 via a hinge 901 , a sealing strip 903 is provided on the edge of the box door 902 , and a handle 904 is provided on the box door 902 .

[0058] It can be understood that the sealing strip 903 is made of materials such as rubber or sponge board. When the box door 902 is closed, the sealing strip 903 is compressed or squeezed to form a relatively closed space, which can effectively block humid air from entering the interior of the box and prevent the battery from getting damp after contact with humid air. At the same time, a magnet is provided on the side of the box door 902 away from the handle 904, and the box body 1 located at the opposite position of the magnet is also provided with a magnet. The mutual attraction of the two magnets plays a role in further closing the box door 902.

[0059] For details, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , based on the above embodiment, the unlocking assembly 10 includes a support rod 1001, a wedge block 1002, a fourth spring 1003 and a pressure rod 1004;

[0060] A support rod 1001 is provided on the buffer plate 702 , a pressure rod 1004 is slidably provided on the support rod 1001 , a wedge block 1002 is provided on the pressure rod 1004 , and a fourth spring 1003 is provided between the pressure rod 1004 and the buffer plate 702 .

[0061] It can be understood that when the connecting plate 805 contacts the inclined surface of the wedge block 1002, the wedge block 1002 is extruded, prompting the fourth replacement connected to the pressing plate to be compressed. When the connecting plate 805 completely passes through the wedge block 1002, the position of the unilateral clamping block 802 after movement is fixed. When unlocking, the lever 1004 is manually pressed down to compress the fourth spring 1003, and the connecting plate 805 and the clamping block 802 are reset under the action of the third spring 803, so as to achieve the re-clamping state.

[0062] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 , on the basis of the above embodiment, it further includes universal wheels 11, and a plurality of universal wheels 11 are provided on the bottom plate 701 of the box body 1.

[0063] It can be understood that by setting the universal wheels 11, the movement of the entire box body 1 can be facilitated, making the movement of the box body 1 more flexible and convenient.

[0064] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , on the basis of the above embodiment, it further includes a pushing component 12, and a pushing component 12 is provided on one side of the box body 1. The pushing component 12 includes a rotating shaft 1201, a telescopic push rod 1202, a limiting block 1203 and a magnet 1204;

[0065] An installation groove is provided on one side of the box body 1. A rotating shaft 1201 is provided in the installation groove. A telescopic push rod 1202 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 1201. A limiting rod and a magnet 1204 are provided in the installation groove.

[0066] It can be understood that the rotating shaft 1201 is fixedly connected to the box body. The telescopic push rod 1202 is provided with multiple sections. In this embodiment, the telescopic push rod 1202 is a three-section rod. The telescopic push rod 1202 is internally provided with a limiting component. The limiting component adopts the same design structure and principle as the existing luggage handle, so it is an existing technical means and will not be introduced in detail here. Through the limiting component, the telescopic push rod 1202 can be kept in the extended state, and the telescopic push rod 1202 is made of metal. The magnet 1204 is provided with a groove adapted to the telescopic push rod 1202 after contraction, and the telescopic push rod 1202 is received by using the magnet 1204 and the groove; the retractable setting of the pushing component 12 effectively avoids the space occupation of the overall box body 1. At the same time, the limiting block 1203 is made of magnetic material and can limit and fix the extended telescopic push rod 1202.

[0067] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 , on the basis of the above embodiment, it further includes a guide plate 13. Two guide plates 13 are provided in each compartment, and the two guide plates 13 are respectively arranged near the left and right sides of the compartment.

[0068] It can be understood that by setting the guide plate 13, it can play a guiding role when the placement box 6 is placed, ensuring that the placement box 6 can be placed at the specified position every time. At the same time, a sponge plate is provided on the surface of the two guide plates 13 in contact with the placement box 6, and a number of protrusions are provided on the sponge plate, which can increase the placement box 6 and can also limit the position of the placement box 6 to avoid excessive shaking.

[0069] Specifically, on the basis of the above embodiment, it further includes a temperature sensor (not marked in the figure). A temperature sensor is provided in each compartment, and each temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control panel 4.

[0070] It can be understood that by separately setting a temperature sensor between each compartment, the temperature between each compartment can be monitored, and the temperature data between each compartment can be displayed on the display screen of the control panel 4. In this embodiment, the baffle 5 adopts a split baffle 5, that is, each compartment has a separate corresponding baffle 5 provided. When one of the baffles 5 is pulled out, it will not interfere with other compartments. In this way, the user can observe the temperature data on the display screen to see which compartment needs ventilation and heat dissipation, and then pull out the corresponding baffle 5 to turn on the corresponding electric fan 2 to dissipate heat from the corresponding compartment separately. The baffle 5 can be pulled out a corresponding length according to the actual situation, depending on the speed of the heat dissipation requirement.

[0071] Specifically, on the basis of the above embodiment, it further includes a buzzer (not marked in the figure). A buzzer is provided on one side of the interior of the box body 1 close to the control panel 4, and the buzzer is electrically connected to the control panel 4.

[0072] It can be understood that by setting the buzzer, a sound alarm can be issued when the temperature inside the box body 1 reaches the preset range, reminding the user or staff to start the electric fan 2 to ventilate and dissipate heat from the interior environment of the box body 1.

[0073] It should be noted that in this article, the term "including", "comprising" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, device, article or method including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, device, article or method. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "including one..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, device, article or method including that element.

[0074] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the specification and drawings of the present application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be included in the patent protection scope of the present application by the same token.
