[0003] Chinese patent CN217822991U discloses a heat dissipation device for liquid-cooled energy storage equipment and the liquid-cooled energy storage equipment. The heat dissipation device comprises a housing, a liquid cooling system, and a fan assembly. The housing houses an electrical compartment and a liquid-cooled battery pack compartment. The liquid cooling system cools the liquid-cooled battery pack within the compartment.

[0076] When reversing is required, the electromagnet 72 of the liquid flow reversing assembly drives the n-shaped plate 73 to move downward, the guide rod 71 guides the n-shaped plate 73, the n-shaped plate 73 drives the trapezoidal block 711 to move downward, the trapezoidal block 711 moves downward and contacts the sliding rod 79 of the synchronous drive assembly until it contacts the upper end of the side wall of the trapezoidal block 711, the first spring 77 drives the fixed plate 78 to move away from the n-shaped plate 73, the fixed plate 78 drives the sliding rod 79 to move away from the n-shaped plate 73, the second piston 720 approaches the side wall of the third pipe 716 and is flush with the side wall of the second liquid inlet pipe 717 close to the fourth pipe 722, the third piston 721 approaches the side wall of the third pipe 716 and is flush with the side wall of the third pipe 716 away from the third pipe 716. At this time, the coolant in the second liquid inlet pipe 717 enters the second pipe 715 through the space between the second piston 720 and the third piston 721;
[0077] The coolant enters the second pipe 715 through the liquid circulation reversing assembly, enters the liquid-cooled battery pack 6, absorbs the heat in the liquid-cooled battery pack 6, and then enters the first pipe 710. Then, it enters the fourth pipe 722 through the liquid circulation reversing assembly, and then returns to the liquid-cooled liquid supply assembly 4 through the liquid outlet assembly. The coolant in the liquid-cooled battery pack 6 is circulated in an alternating manner.
[0078] The liquid inlet assembly includes a first liquid inlet pipe 75 and a third liquid inlet pipe 718. The two sets of first liquid inlet pipes 75 are fixedly connected to the third liquid inlet pipe 718. The third liquid inlet pipe 718 is fixedly connected to the output end of the liquid-cooling liquid supply assembly 4. The second liquid inlet pipes 717 on one side of the support base 92 are fixedly connected to the first liquid inlet pipe 75 on one side of the support base 92. The second liquid inlet pipes 717 on the other side of the support base 92 are fixedly connected to the first liquid inlet pipe 75 on the other side of the support base 92.
[0079] The liquid cooling supply assembly 4 delivers the cooled coolant to the third liquid inlet pipe 718, which is then diverted to the first liquid inlet pipe 75, enters the second liquid inlet pipe 717, and then enters the horizontal cylinder 714;
[0080] The liquid outlet assembly includes two sets of first liquid outlet pipes 74 and second liquid outlet pipes 719. The two sets of first liquid outlet pipes 74 are fixedly connected to the second liquid outlet pipes 719. The fourth pipe 722 and the third pipe 716 on one side of the support base 92 are both fixedly connected to the first liquid outlet pipes 74 on one side of the support base 92. The fourth pipe 722 and the third pipe 716 on the other side of the support base 92 are both fixedly connected to the first liquid outlet pipes 74 on the other side of the support base 92. The second liquid outlet pipe 719 is fixedly connected to the input end of the liquid-cooling liquid supply assembly 4.
[0081] The cooling liquid that has absorbed heat in the horizontal cylinder 714 enters the first liquid outlet pipe 74 through the third pipe 716 or the fourth pipe 722, and then is concentrated in the second liquid outlet pipe 719 and returned to the liquid cooling supply assembly 4 for cooling.
[0082] The first pipe 710, the second pipe 715 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 are all connected to a buffer assembly for buffering;
[0083] The buffer assembly includes a straight cylinder 712, a first piston 713, and a second spring 723. The two ends of the second spring 723 are fixedly connected to the inner end of the straight cylinder 712 and the end of the first piston 713, respectively. The first piston 713 is in sliding contact with the inner wall of the straight cylinder 712.

The straight cylinder 712 located at the second liquid inlet pipe 717 is in communication and fixed connection with the second liquid inlet pipe 717.
[0084] When the first pipe 710 of the liquid flow reversing assembly is switched from liquid outlet to liquid inlet, the first pipe 710 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 stop circulating coolant. Since the coolant in the liquid-cooled battery pack 6 and the coolant in the second liquid inlet pipe 717 contain kinetic energy, the coolant liquid pressure in the first pipe 710 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 increases. The coolant in the first pipe 710 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 pushes the first piston 713 of the second spring 723 connected in the first pipe 710 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 to move toward the straight cylinder 712, compressing the straight cylinder 712 and releasing the coolant liquid pressure in the first pipe 710 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717, effectively alleviating water hammer, reducing the impact force at the connection between the first pipe 710 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 and the horizontal cylinder 714, and the impact force of the solenoid valve 76;
[0085] When the second pipe 715 of the liquid flow reversing assembly is changed from liquid outlet to liquid inlet, the second pipe 715 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 will stop circulating coolant. Since the coolant in the liquid-cooled battery pack 6 and the coolant in the second liquid inlet pipe 717 contain kinetic energy, the coolant liquid pressure in the second pipe 715 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 increases. The coolant in the second pipe 715 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 pushes the first piston 713 of the second spring 723 connected in the second pipe 715 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 to move toward the straight cylinder 712, compressing the straight cylinder 712 and releasing the coolant liquid pressure in the second pipe 715 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717, effectively alleviating water hammer, reducing the impact force at the connection between the second pipe 715 and the second liquid inlet pipe 717 and the horizontal cylinder 714, and the impact force of the solenoid valve 76.
