The battery pack 3 is located in the battery chamber 212 and the material preparation chamber 211.

[0032] The first direction is the X direction in the figure, and the second direction is the Y direction in the figure.

[0033] The spare battery pack 3 is placed inside the preparation room 211 of the energy storage container. When the battery in the battery room 212 needs to be replaced due to a malfunction or other reasons, the spare battery pack 3 in the preparation room 211 can be taken out to replace the battery pack 3 that needs to be replaced in the battery room 212. Since the preparation room 211 is arranged adjacent to the battery room 212, the transportation time of the battery pack 3 can be saved, and the battery pack 3 can be replaced in time; and the preparation room 211 is arranged inside the box body 1 of the energy storage container, there is no need to build a preparation warehouse around the energy storage container, saving construction costs.

[0034] The preparation room 211 is not limited to the storage of spare battery packs 3, and auxiliary components such as fire bottles can also be placed.

[0035] In this embodiment, the battery chamber 212 and the preparation chamber 211 are both arranged inside the first installation area, so that the preparation chamber 211 is close to the battery chamber 212, thereby facilitating the replacement of the battery pack 3 and also facilitating the monitoring of the battery pack 3 inside the battery chamber 212 through the preparation chamber 211.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first partition structure 21 includes a first cluster frame 213, a second cluster frame 4 and a partition assembly 214. The first cluster frame 213 and the second cluster frame 4 are vertically arranged inside the first installation area. The first cluster frame 213 and the second cluster frame 4 are used to install the battery pack 3. The partition assembly 214 is arranged on the first cluster frame 213, the second cluster frame 4 and the box body 1. The partition assembly 214 encloses the preparation room 211. The preparation room 211 and the battery room 212 are separated by the partition assembly 214.

[0037] Specifically, the first cluster rack 213 and the second cluster rack 4 install and fix the battery pack 3 located in the battery chamber 212 and the preparation chamber 211, so that the battery pack 3 can be stably placed in the battery chamber 212 and the preparation chamber 211 to enhance the stability of the installation of the battery pack 3.

[0038] Furthermore, a plurality of first cluster frames 213 are provided, and the plurality of first cluster frames 213 are spaced apart along the first direction, and an installation area for the battery pack 3 is formed between two adjacent first cluster frames 213 , so that the battery pack 3 can be installed along the height direction of the box body 1 .

[0039] Further, along the first direction, the second cluster frame 4 is arranged on a side of the first cluster frame 213 away from the second installation area.

[0040] In this embodiment, a portion of the partition assembly 214 is arranged on the wall of the box body 1, a portion of the partition assembly 214 is arranged on the first cluster frame 213, and a portion of the partition assembly 214 is arranged on the second cluster frame 4. The partition assembly 214 encloses a preparation room 211 isolated from the battery room 212, thereby protecting the preparation materials inside the preparation room 211.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the partition assembly 214 includes a back partition 2142, a group of relatively arranged side partitions 2143 and a bottom partition 2144. The back partition 2142, the side partitions 2143 and the bottom partition 2144 cooperate to form a preparation room 211 with an open structure. The bottom partition 2144 is arranged at the bottom end of the second cluster frame 4, one of the side partitions 2143 is arranged on the first cluster frame 213, the other side partition 2143 is arranged on the box body 1, and the back partition 2142 is arranged on the first cluster frame 213.

[0042] The battery chamber 212 and the preparation room 211 are separated by the partition assembly 214 so that the battery chamber 212 and the preparation room 211 are in two relatively independent spaces. When an accident occurs to the battery in the battery chamber 212 (such as a fire, etc.), due to the existence of the partition assembly 214, the accident in the battery chamber 212 will not affect the preparation room 211, thereby protecting the battery pack 3 in the preparation room 211.

[0043] Furthermore, the back partition 2142, the side partition 2143 and the bottom partition 2144 are all hollow structures, and the energy storage container also includes insulation materials, which are filled in the hollow structures of the back partition 2142, the side partition 2143 and the bottom partition.

[0044] By filling the hollow interior of the back partition 2142, the side partition 2143 and the bottom partition 2144 with insulating materials, the protective effect of the partition assembly 214 on the battery pack 3 in the preparation room 211 can be further improved, and the damage caused by the external environment to the battery pack 3 in the preparation room 211 can be reduced, thereby further protecting the battery pack 3 in the preparation room 211.

[0045] In this embodiment, the first cluster frame 213 is fixedly connected to the box body 1, and the battery pack is slidably arranged on the first cluster frame 213, so that the battery pack can be replaced by pulling out the battery pack when it is necessary.

[0046] Furthermore, the second cluster rack 4 is movably arranged inside the preparation room 211, the battery pack 3 is arranged on the second cluster rack 4, and the second cluster rack 4 is independently and pullably arranged inside the preparation room 211, so that when the second cluster rack 4 needs to be pulled out, the second cluster rack 4 can be pulled out by applying external force, and the second cluster rack 4 can be moved to the outside of the box body 1.

[0047] Among them, the bottom partition 2144 is set at the bottom end of the second cluster frame 4, and the bottom partition 2144 can move with the second cluster frame 4.

[0048] By providing the second cluster rack 4 , the battery pack 3 and other preparation materials can be conveniently placed. Meanwhile, since the second cluster rack 4 is movably arranged inside the preparation chamber 211 , the battery pack 3 can be conveniently replaced by moving the second cluster rack 4 .

[0049] It should be noted that when other materials other than the battery pack 3 are placed inside the material preparation chamber 211 , the materials can also be placed on the second cluster rack 4 .

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second cluster frame 4 includes a frame body 41, a support rod 42, a moving wheel 43 and a driving member 44, one end of the support rod 42 is hinged at the bottom of the frame body 41; the other end of the support rod 42 is provided with a moving wheel 43; the driving member 44 is arranged between the frame body 41 and the support rod 42, and the driving member 44 is drivingly connected to the support rod 42, and the driving member 44 provides driving force for the support rod 42 to be folded on the frame body 41 or unfolded.

[0051] Specifically, the moving wheel 43 provided at the bottom end of the second cluster rack 4 can facilitate the movement of the second cluster rack 4, thereby facilitating the movement of the battery pack 3 located on the second cluster rack 4, and can quickly install the battery pack 3 into the preparation chamber 211 by pulling, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0052] Furthermore, the support rod 42 is hinged at the bottom of the frame 41 and driven to rotate by the driving member 44. One end of the driving member 44 is hinged to the frame 41, and the other end is hinged to one end of the support rod 42 close to the moving wheel 43. When the support rod 42 is fully unfolded, the support rod 42 is in a vertical state, and the moving wheel 43 is in contact with the ground, which makes it convenient to move the second cluster frame 4; when the support rod 42 is in a folded state, the support rod 42 and the frame 41 form a small acute angle, which can reduce the overall height of the second cluster frame 4 and facilitate the placement of the second cluster frame 4 in the battery chamber 212 or the preparation chamber 211. The support rod 42 is driven to rotate by the driving member 44, which can be an electric push rod or a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, etc., and has the advantage of having a certain self-locking function. When the support rod 42 is fully unfolded and in a vertical state, the support rod 42 in a vertical state can be kept stable, so that the second cluster frame 4 can be stably moved.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second partition structure 22 includes a partition board, and a plurality of partition boards are provided and are spaced apart along the height direction of the box body 1. The plurality of partition boards divide the second installation area into a plurality of functional rooms spaced apart along the height direction of the box body 1. The functional rooms include at least an electrical room 222, a liquid cooling room 221 and a fire fighting room 223.

[0054] Among them, multiple functional rooms play an auxiliary role, and different functional rooms can be used according to the needs of the battery room 212 to maintain the stable operation of the battery room 212.

[0055] In this embodiment, the energy storage container further includes a low-voltage wire harness 31 and a high-voltage wire harness 32 , and the battery cells in the battery chamber 212 and the preparation chamber 211 are electrically connected via the low-voltage wire harness 31 and the high-voltage wire harness 32 .

[0056] Through the electrical connection between the low-voltage wiring harness 31 and the high-voltage wiring harness 32, the charge state of the battery pack 3 in the preparation room 211 can be monitored. If the power of the battery pack 3 drops to a certain range, it is charged to ensure that the battery pack 3 in the preparation room 211 is always in a normal charge state.

[0057] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0058] 1. The spare battery pack 3 adapted to the energy storage container is placed in the preparation room 211.
