Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of energy storage equipment technology, and more particularly to an energy storage power source. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional energy storage power supplies are mostly integrated fixed batteries. When the battery degrades or is depleted, the entire unit can only be charged, the entire energy storage casing can be removed to replace the module, or the entire unit can be replaced, resulting in high operating costs and inconvenient maintenance. Although there are existing battery swapping structures where the energy storage casing and energy storage power supply can be separated, current battery swapping solutions have the following problems: slow disassembly and assembly, requiring tools, mostly using screws for fixing, long battery swapping time, inability to operate outdoors without tools, poor user experience in portable scenarios, easy to accidentally unlock, and insufficient security. Therefore, it is essential to provide a quick-disassembly, tool-free, safe and reliable swappable energy storage power supply. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy storage power supply that allows for quick replacement of battery modules without the need for tools, making it suitable for scenarios such as camping, emergency response, and outdoor work.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention discloses an energy storage power supply, comprising: an energy storage housing with a locking hole and a first connection terminal inside the housing; a battery module, comprising: a housing; a battery assembly disposed inside the housing and having a second connection terminal cooperating with the first connection terminal; a handle assembly movably disposed on the housing; a first locking assembly movably disposed on the housing, having a locking position for locking the handle assembly and an unlocking position for unlocking the handle assembly; and a second locking assembly movably disposed on the housing and connected to the handle assembly; wherein, when the first locking assembly is in the unlocked position, driving the handle assembly to move can cause the second locking assembly to move, causing a portion of the second locking assembly to retract into the housing and disengage from the locking hole, thereby releasing the battery module.

[0005] In some embodiments, the handle assembly includes two U-shaped handles and a connecting strap, with both ends of the connecting strap connected to the two U-shaped handles respectively. The first locking component is capable of locking the two U-shaped handles, and there are two second locking components, each connected to one of the two U-shaped handles.

[0006] In some embodiments, the first locking assembly includes: an operating member rotatably mounted on the surface of the housing; a movable member slidably mounted on the housing, with one end of the movable member abutting against the operating member; and a first elastic member, with one end of the first elastic member abutting against the operating member and the other end abutting against the housing; wherein: the handle assembly has a locking hole, rotating the operating member drives the movable member to insert into the locking hole to lock the handle assembly, and the first elastic member is used to drive the movable member to pop out of the locking hole.

[0007] In some specific embodiments, the top surface of the housing is provided with a movable groove, the movable groove including a first groove and a second groove; the operating member includes a cam structure, the cam structure being rotatably mounted in the first groove; the movable member includes a stop part and a sliding part, the stop part abutting against the outer peripheral wall of the cam structure, the sliding part being slidably mounted in the second groove and capable of being inserted into the locking hole to lock the handle assembly, the first elastic member being sleeved on the sliding part, one end of the first elastic member abutting against the stop part, and the other end abutting against the stepped surface in the second groove.

[0008] In some specific embodiments, the cross-section of the cam structure is elliptical, and it is provided with a first protrusion and a second protrusion. The first protrusion is located on the long axis of the cam structure, and the second protrusion is located on the short axis of the cam structure. The stop portion is provided with a limiting groove. In the locked position, the first protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove, and in the unlocked position, the second protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0009] In some embodiments, the handle assembly includes a U-shaped handle with anti-rotation holes at both ends; the housing has a sliding groove; the second locking assembly includes a locking shaft with both ends inserted into the anti-rotation holes of the U-shaped handle and rotatably mounted on the housing, the locking shaft having a gear portion; and a locking plate slidably disposed in the sliding groove, the locking plate having a rack portion meshing with the gear portion; wherein: rotating the U-shaped handle causes the gear portion to drive the rack portion to slide, thereby causing the locking plate to retract into the sliding groove to release the battery module.

[0010] In some specific embodiments, the housing is provided with a receiving groove communicating with the sliding groove, and the second locking assembly further includes a second elastic member disposed in the receiving groove. The second elastic member is used to drive the locking plate portion to extend out of the sliding groove to engage with the locking hole. The housing is provided with a rotating groove communicating with the receiving groove, and the locking shaft is rotatably mounted in the rotating groove.

[0011] In some specific embodiments, the housing is provided with a sliding elongated hole, which is parallel to the sliding groove and connected through a connecting hole. The anti-loosening screw passes through the sliding elongated hole and the connecting hole, extends into the sliding groove, and is connected to the locking plate. The head of the anti-loosening screw abuts against the surface of the housing where the sliding elongated hole is provided.

[0012] In some embodiments, the housing includes an upper module shell, a lower module shell, and a decorative module cover. The upper module shell is fastened to the lower module shell and defines a receiving cavity for accommodating the battery assembly. The decorative module cover is fastened to the upper module shell. A first locking component and a second locking component are both disposed between the upper module shell and the decorative module cover. An operating member of the first locking component extends out of the decorative module cover. The decorative module cover has a locking mark and an unlocking mark surrounding the operating member.

[0013] In some embodiments, one of the housing and the energy storage housing is provided with a guide rib extending in a vertical direction, and the other of the housing and the energy storage housing is provided with a guide groove extending in the vertical direction, and the guide rib is slidably disposed in the guide groove.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the energy storage power supply of the present invention are as follows: Since the battery module includes a handle assembly, a first locking assembly, and a second locking assembly, in actual operation, when the user needs to remove the battery module from the energy storage housing, they only need to adjust the first locking assembly from the locked position to the unlocked position. Driving the handle assembly from its position within the housing to a position perpendicular to the housing causes a portion of the second locking assembly to retract into the housing and disengage from the locking hole, thus releasing the battery module. At this point, the user only needs to lift the battery module to disengage the second and first connecting terminals to remove the entire battery module from the energy storage housing. After placing a new battery module into the energy storage housing, the handle assembly is rotated in the opposite direction, moving it from a position perpendicular to the housing to a position within the housing. At this point, a portion of the second locking assembly can extend out of the housing and engage with the locking hole. Under the influence of gravity, the second and first connecting terminals of the battery module can be inserted. Finally, the first locking assembly is adjusted to the locked position to prevent the handle assembly from rotating. In summary, when replacing the battery module, the energy storage power supply disclosed in this invention only requires adjusting the first locking component and then lifting the battery module, which is very convenient to operate, portable, and tool-free with one-handed operation, making it suitable for camping, emergency response, outdoor work and other scenarios.

[0015] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0019] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

[0021] This invention discloses an energy storage power source, with reference to... Figures 1-5As shown, the energy storage power supply includes an energy storage housing 100 and a battery module 200. The energy storage housing 100 has a snap-fit ​​hole 110 and a first connection terminal 120 inside the energy storage housing 100. The battery module 200 includes a housing 210, a battery assembly 220, a handle assembly 230, a first locking assembly 240, and a second locking assembly 250. The battery assembly 220 is disposed inside the housing 210 and has a second connection terminal 221 that mates with the first connection terminal 120. The handle assembly 230 is movably disposed within the housing 210. A locking component 240 is movably disposed on the housing 210. The first locking component 240 has a locking position for locking the handle component 230 and an unlocking position for unlocking the handle component 230. The second locking component 250 is movably disposed on the housing 210 and connected to the handle component 230. When the first locking component 240 is in the unlocking position, driving the handle component 230 to move can drive the second locking component 250 to move, so that part of the second locking component 250 retracts into the housing 210 and disengages from the latch hole 110, thereby releasing the battery module 200. Understandably, since the battery module 200 includes a handle assembly 230, a first locking assembly 240, and a second locking assembly 250, in actual operation, when the user needs to remove the battery module 200 from the energy storage housing 100, they only need to adjust the first locking assembly 240 from the locked position to the unlocked position. This drives the handle assembly 230 from its position within the housing 210 to a position perpendicular to the housing 210, causing a portion of the second locking assembly 250 to retract into the housing 210 and disengage from the latch hole 110, thus releasing the battery module 200. At this point, simply lifting the battery module 200 allows the second connection terminal 221 to disengage from the first connection terminal 120, thus removing the entire battery module 200 from the energy storage housing 100. After placing the new battery module 200 into the energy storage housing 100, rotate the handle assembly 230 in the opposite direction, moving it from a position perpendicular to the housing 210 to a position where it is stored within the housing 210. At this time, part of the second locking assembly 250 can extend out of the housing 210 and engage with the locking hole 110. Under the influence of gravity, the battery module 200 allows the second connecting terminal 221 and the first connecting terminal 120 to connect. Finally, adjust the first locking assembly 240 to the locked position to prevent the handle assembly 230 from rotating. In summary, when replacing the battery module 200, the energy storage power supply disclosed in this invention only requires adjusting the first locking assembly 240 and then lifting the battery module 200. The operation is very convenient, portable, and tool-free with one-handed operation, making it suitable for camping, emergency situations, outdoor work, and other scenarios.

[0022] refer to Figures 5-6As shown, the handle assembly 230 includes two U-shaped handles 231 and a connecting strap 232. Both ends of the connecting strap 232 are connected to the two U-shaped handles 231 respectively. A first locking component 240 can lock the two U-shaped handles 231. There are two second locking components 250, each connected to one of the two U-shaped handles 231. It can be understood that with two handle assemblies 230, in actual operation, the user can operate the two U-shaped handles 231 by lifting the connecting strap 232, facilitating operation. The two U-shaped handles 231 are respectively positioned corresponding to the two second locking components 250, achieving a locking connection between the battery module 200 and both sides, ensuring the installation stability of the battery module 200 relative to the energy storage housing 100, and preventing the battery module 200 from detaching from the energy storage housing 100 during use.

[0023] Optionally, there are two first locking components 240, which are spaced apart along the length of the U-shaped handle 231. Locking the U-shaped handle 231 with the two first locking components 240 can improve the stability of the U-shaped handle 231, thereby preventing the second locking component 250 from being accidentally unlocked due to the rotation of the U-shaped handle 231.

[0024] Optionally, the housing 210 is provided with a U-shaped groove for accommodating the U-shaped handle 231. Understandably, when the energy storage power supply is in normal use, the U-shaped handle 231 is stored in the U-shaped groove, which improves the appearance of the energy storage power supply and prevents the U-shaped handle 231 from rotating under external force, thus avoiding the accidental unlocking of the second locking component 250.

[0025] refer to Figures 7-9As shown, the first locking assembly 240 includes an operating member 241, a movable member 242, and a first elastic member 243. The operating member 241 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the housing 210 (in this embodiment, the operating member 241 is located on the top surface of the housing 210, but it can also be located on other sides). The movable member 242 is slidably mounted on the housing 210, and one end of the movable member 242 abuts against the operating member 241. One end of the first elastic member 243 abuts against the operating member 241, and the other end abuts against the housing 210. The handle assembly 230 is provided with a locking hole 2311. By rotating the operating member 241, the operating member 241 can drive the movable member 242 to insert into the locking hole 2311 to lock the handle assembly 230. The first elastic member 243 is used to drive the movable member 242 to pop out of the locking hole 2311. Understandably, in actual operation, after the battery module 200 is placed into the energy storage housing 100 and the handle assembly 230 is housed in the U-shaped groove, it is necessary to lock the handle assembly 230. This is achieved by simply rotating the operating member 241 to drive the movable member 242 into the locking hole 2311, thus locking the handle assembly 230. During the locking process, the first elastic member 243 is compressed. When the battery module 200 needs to be replaced, the operating member 241 is rotated in the opposite direction to disengage it from the movable member 242. Once the movable member 242 is no longer compressed by the operating member 241, the first elastic member 243 releases its stored elastic potential energy, driving the movable member 242 to pop out of the locking hole 2311, thus releasing the handle assembly 230. Using the operating member 241 for locking and the first elastic member 243 for springback release to achieve the locking and releasing of the handle assembly 230 is very simple and convenient for users, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0026] Optionally, the first elastic element 243 is fitted onto the movable element 242. This ensures the installation stability of the first elastic element 243.

[0027] It should be noted that, as described above, one first locking component 240 can lock two handle components 230 simultaneously. In order to achieve this function, there are two moving parts 242 in this embodiment.

[0028] Optionally, the top surface of the housing 210 is provided with a movable groove, which includes a first groove 2111 and a second groove 2112; the operating member 241 includes a cam structure, which is rotatably mounted on the first groove 2111; the movable member 242 includes a stop part 2421 and a sliding part 2422, the stop part 2421 abuts against the outer peripheral wall of the cam structure, the sliding part 2422 is slidably mounted on the second groove 2112 and can be inserted into the locking hole 2311 to lock the handle assembly 230, and a first elastic member 243 is sleeved on the sliding part 2422, one end of the first elastic member 243 abuts against the stop part 2421, and the other end abuts against the stepped surface in the second groove 2112. Understandably, since the operating element 241 includes a cam structure with a long axis and a short axis, when the user rotates the cam structure, the cam structure can drive the stop part 2421 to slide within the second groove part 2112. When the long axis of the cam structure abuts against the stop part 2421, the end of the sliding part 2422 away from the stop part 2421 can be inserted into the locking hole 2311. If the cam structure is rotated further, the cam structure will disengage from the stop part 2421, and the first elastic element 243 can drive the sliding part 2422 to gradually disengage from the locking hole 2311. When the stop part 2421 abuts against the short axis of the cam structure, the sliding part 2422 is completely disengaged from the locking hole 2311.

[0029] Optionally, the cam structure has an elliptical cross-section, with a first protrusion 24121 and a second protrusion 24122. The first protrusion 24121 is located on the long axis of the cam structure, and the second protrusion 24122 is located on the short axis of the cam structure. A limiting groove 24211 is provided on the stop portion 2421. In the locked position, the first protrusion 24121 is inserted into the limiting groove 24211, and in the unlocked position, the second protrusion 24122 is inserted into the limiting groove 24211. It can be understood that by providing the first protrusion 24121 and the second protrusion 24122 on the cam structure, and providing the limiting groove 24211 on the stop portion 2421, in the locked position, the first protrusion 24121 is inserted into the limiting groove 24211. This allows the user to easily observe that the operating component 241 has reached the locked position, and also serves to position the cam structure, preventing accidental rotation of the cam structure from unlocking the handle assembly 230. Similarly, in the unlocked position, the second protrusion 24122 is inserted into the limiting groove 24211. This allows the user to easily observe that the operating component 241 has reached the unlocked position, and also serves to position the cam structure, preventing accidental rotation of the cam structure from locking the handle assembly 230. It should be noted that, as described above, this embodiment has two movable components 242; therefore, there are also two first protrusions 24121 and two second protrusions 24122. The two first protrusions 24121 are located at both ends of the long axis of the cam structure, and the two second protrusions 24122 are located at both ends of the short axis of the cam structure.

[0030] Optionally, the knob 2411 and elliptical disk 2412 are integrally formed with a cam structure, and a positioning post 2113 for fixing the knob 2411 is provided in the first groove 2111. It is understood that when the user rotates the knob 2411, the elliptical disk 2412 can drive the stop part 2421 to slide within the second groove 2112. When the long axis of the elliptical disk 2412 abuts against the stop part 2421, the end of the sliding part 2422 away from the stop part 2421 can be inserted into the locking hole 2311. If the knob 2411 is rotated further, the elliptical disk 2412 will disengage from the stop part 2421, and the first elastic element 243 can drive the sliding part 2422 to gradually disengage from the locking hole 2311. When the stop part 2421 abuts against the short axis of the elliptical disk 2412, the sliding part 2422 is completely disengaged from the locking hole 2311.

[0031] refer to Figures 7-10 As shown, the handle assembly 230 includes a U-shaped handle 231 with anti-rotation holes 2312 at both ends. The housing 210 has a sliding groove 2114. The second locking assembly 250 includes a locking shaft 251 and a locking plate 252. The two ends of the locking shaft 251 are inserted into the anti-rotation holes 2312 of the U-shaped handle 231, and the locking shaft 251 is rotatably mounted on the housing 210. The locking shaft 251 has a gear part 2511, and the locking plate 252 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 2114. The locking plate 252 has a rack part 2521 that meshes with the gear part 2511. When the U-shaped handle 231 is rotated, the gear part 2511 can drive the rack part 2521 to slide, so that the locking plate 252 retracts into the sliding groove 2114 to release the battery module 200. Understandably, when it is necessary to replace the battery module 200, the battery module 200 is lifted by holding the U-shaped handle 231 or the connecting strap 232. During the rotation of the U-shaped handle 231, the gear part 2511 can drive the rack part 2521 to slide, so that the locking plate 252 retracts into the sliding groove 2114 to release the battery module 200. At this time, the battery module 200 can be lifted out of the energy storage housing 100. After the new battery module 200 is placed into the energy storage housing 100, when the user releases the U-shaped handle 231 and the connecting strap 232, without external force, the U-shaped handle 231 will be pulled by the connecting strap 232 (if the U-shaped handle 231 automatically reverses, the user can also turn the U-shaped handle 231 to reverse it), thereby enabling the gear part 2511 to drive the rack part 2521 to slide, so that the locking plate 252 extends out of the sliding groove 2114 and is locked into the locking hole 110 of the energy storage housing 100 to lock the battery module 200.

[0032] Optionally, the housing 210 is provided with a receiving groove 2115 communicating with the sliding groove 2114. The second locking assembly 250 also includes a second elastic element 253 disposed in the receiving groove 2115. It can be understood that after the new battery module 200 is placed into the energy storage housing 100, when the user releases the U-shaped handle 231 and the connecting strap 232, the compressed second elastic element 253 can release its stored elastic potential energy, driving the locking plate 252 to extend out of the sliding groove 2114 and engage with the locking hole 110. The action of the second elastic element 253 can ensure that the locking plate 252 automatically pops out without the need for manual reverse rotation of the U-shaped handle 231, which facilitates operation.

[0033] Alternatively, one end of the second elastic member 253 is connected to the locking plate 252, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 2115. The second elastic member 253 is used to drive the locking plate 252 to partially extend out of the sliding groove 2114 to engage with the locking hole 110. This ensures the stability of the second elastic member 253.

[0034] Alternatively, the locking plate 252 may be provided with a first fixing post 2522, and the side wall of the receiving groove 2115 may be provided with a second fixing post 2119. The two ends of the second elastic member 253 may be respectively sleeved on the first fixing post 2522 and the second fixing post 2119. This ensures that the second elastic member 253 can stably drive the locking plate 252 to pop out.

[0035] Optionally, the housing 210 is provided with a rotating groove 2116 communicating with the receiving groove 2115. The rotating groove 2116 has a limiting groove 2117. The locking shaft 251 is rotatably mounted in the rotating groove 2116, and the locking shaft 251 is provided with a limiting protrusion 2512 that inserts into the limiting groove 2117. It can be understood that after the locking hole 2311 is placed into the rotating groove 2116, the insertion of the limiting protrusion 2512 into the limiting groove 2117 can ensure that the locking shaft 251 is stably fixed on the housing 210, preventing the locking shaft 251 from axially moving and thus detaching from the housing 210.

[0036] Optionally, the housing 210 is provided with a sliding elongated hole 2118, which is parallel to the sliding groove 2114 and connected through a connecting hole. An anti-loosening screw 260 passes through the sliding elongated hole 2118 and the connecting hole, extends into the sliding groove 2114, and is connected to the locking plate 252. The head of the anti-loosening screw 260 abuts against the surface of the housing 210 where the sliding elongated hole 2118 is located. It is understood that if there is no obstruction when the second elastic member 253 drives the locking plate 252 to pop out, the locking plate 252 can easily be ejected directly from the sliding groove 2114. In this embodiment, by having the anti-loosening screw 260 pass through the sliding elongated hole 2118 and the connecting hole, extends into the sliding groove 2114, and is connected to the locking plate 252, when the second elastic member 253 drives the locking plate 252 to pop out, the anti-loosening screw 260 can slide within the sliding elongated hole 2118, thereby preventing the locking plate 252 from being ejected from the sliding groove 2114.

[0037] refer to Figures 6-7 As shown, the housing 210 includes an upper module housing 211, a lower module housing 212, and a decorative module cover 213. The upper module housing 211 is fastened to the lower module housing 212 and together with the lower module housing 212, defines a receiving cavity for accommodating the battery assembly 220. The decorative module cover 213 is fastened to the upper module housing 211.
