[0046] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0047] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration and are not intended to be limiting.

[0048] In this document, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” cited in the present invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order.

[0049] In order to thoroughly understand the implementation of the utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. The preferred implementation of the utility model is described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the utility model can also have other implementations.

[0050] The utility model provides an energy storage container. Batteries are arranged in the energy storage container. The door 110 of the energy storage container is provided with a first air duct 120. The battery rack 170 of the energy storage container is provided with a second air duct 130. When the door 110 is closed, the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 are connected for ventilation, thereby adjusting the temperature of the batteries on the battery rack 170.

[0051] The first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 are sealed by a first sealing ring 140. The first sealing ring 140 has at least two spaced-apart first skirt edges 142. In this way, the first sealing ring 140 is connected to the edge of one of the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130, and the edge of the other extends into the space between the two adjacent first skirt edges 142. In this way, when the door 110 is closed, since the two first skirt edges 142 are located on both sides of the edge of the other, when the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 are misaligned due to the deformation of the box body 100, the first skirt edge 142 is deformed to abut against the edge of the other, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection between the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 3 to 7 The energy storage container includes a box body 100 and a box door 110. The box body 100 has a bottom frame, a side wall 101, an end wall and a top wall. The bottom frame, the side wall 101, the end wall and the top wall form a substantially rectangular parallelepiped structure. The box body 100 has a box opening. The box door 110 is pivotally connected to the box body 100 for opening or closing the box opening.

[0053] The energy storage container further includes a battery rack 170 disposed in the box body 100, and batteries disposed in the battery rack 170. The energy storage container provides electrical energy through the batteries.

[0054] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the energy storage container further includes a first air duct 120 and a second air duct 130. The second air duct 130 is connected to the battery rack 170. The second air duct 130 has an opening toward the battery for ventilation at the battery, thereby adjusting the temperature of the battery.

[0055] The first air duct 120 is connected to the box door 110. In this way, when the box door 110 is rotated, the first air duct 120 rotates with the box door 110. When the box door 110 is closed, the first air duct 120 can be connected to one end of the second air duct 130. In this way, the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 are connected. The first air duct 120 is connected to the outside of the box body 100. In this way, when the box door 110 is closed, ventilation can be provided at the battery through the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130, thereby adjusting the temperature of the battery.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figures 5 to 7The energy storage container also includes a first sealing ring 140. The first sealing ring 140 is a rubber sealing ring. The first sealing ring 140 includes a first body portion 141 and a first skirt 142. The first body portion 141 and the first skirt 142 are both circumferentially closed annular structures. There are at least two first skirts 142. Along the radial direction of the first body portion 141, at least two first skirts 142 are arranged in sequence at intervals. The first skirt 142 extends along the axial direction of the first body portion 141. One end of the first skirt 142 is connected to a side surface of the first body portion 141 along the axial direction of the first body portion 141.

[0057] The first body portion 141 is connected to an edge of the first air duct 120 close to the second air duct 130 . The first skirt 142 is located on one side of the first body portion 141 close to the second air duct 130 .

[0058] It should be noted that both the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 may be pipes having internal passages.

[0059] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, when the box door 110 is closed, the first sealing ring 140 abuts against the edge of the second air duct 130 close to the first air duct 120, thereby sealing the connection between the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130. At this time, the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 are connected, and the edge of the second air duct 130 extends into the interval between any two adjacent first skirt edges 142. In this way, when the box door 110 is closed, since the edge of the second air duct 130 extends into the interval between any two adjacent first skirt edges 142, when the box body 100 deforms to cause the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 to be misaligned, the first skirt edge 142 deforms and abuts against the second air duct 130, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection between the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130. In this way, the battery can be ventilated through the whole formed by the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130, thereby adjusting the temperature of the battery.

[0060] It can be understood that in an embodiment not shown, the first sealing ring is connected to the second air duct, and the second sealing ring hereinafter is connected to the first air duct.

[0061] In the present embodiment, when the box door 110 is closed, the edge of the second air duct 130 extends into the space between any two adjacent first skirts 142. Thus, when the box door 110 is closed, since the edge of the second air duct 130 extends into the space between any two adjacent first skirts 142, when the box body 100 is deformed to cause the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 to be misaligned, the first skirt 142 is deformed to abut against the second air duct 130, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection between the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 and avoiding air leakage.

[0062] Preferably, if Figure 7 As shown, there are at least three first skirt edges 142. In this way, the edge of the second air duct 130 is arranged in the interval between any two adjacent first skirt edges 142 among the at least three first skirt edges 142, which can make the installation of the energy storage container more convenient.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 7 , along the radial direction of the first body portion 141, the outer diameter of the first skirt 142 (outer skirt) located at the outermost side is larger than the outer diameter of the first body portion 141. Therefore, during the closing process of the door 110, since the outer diameter of the outer skirt is larger than the outer diameter of the first body portion 141, when the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 are misaligned to a certain extent due to the deformation of the box body 100 or the door 110, the provision of the outer skirt can enable the first sealing ring 140 to abut against the edge of the second air duct 130, thereby ensuring the sealing of the connection between the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130.

[0064] Preferably, if Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first sealing ring 140 has a first clamping portion 143. The first clamping portion 143 is connected to the first body portion 141. The first clamping portion 143 is a circumferentially closed annular structure. The first clamping portion 143 is clamped to the edge of the first air duct 120. Thus, the installation of the first sealing ring 140 is convenient.

[0065] For further optimization, please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first clamping portion 143 includes a first clamping skirt 144 and a second clamping skirt 145. One end of the first clamping skirt 144 is connected to the side of the first body portion 141 away from the first skirt 142. One end of the second clamping skirt 145 is connected to the side of the first body portion 141 away from the first skirt 142. The first clamping skirt 144 and the second clamping skirt 145 are spaced apart in the radial direction of the first body portion 141. The first clamping skirt 144 is inclined to the second clamping skirt 145. The free ends of the first clamping skirt 144 and the second clamping skirt 145 face each other.

[0066] In this way, the first body portion 141, the first snap-fitting skirt 144 and the second snap-fitting skirt 145 form a constriction structure. The edge of the first air duct 120 extends between the first snap-fitting skirt 144 and the second snap-fitting skirt 145. In this way, the first snap-fitting skirt 144 and the second snap-fitting skirt 145 snap-fit ​​the edge of the first air duct 120. In other words, the edge of the first air duct 120 is snapped between the first snap-fitting skirt 144 and the second snap-fitting skirt 145. In this way, the structure of the first sealing ring 140 is simple.

[0067] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first clamping portion 143 is located at a side of the first body portion 141 away from the first skirt 142. In this way, the structure of the first sealing ring 140 is simple.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 Preferably, the energy storage container further includes a second sealing ring 150. The second sealing ring 150 is connected to the edge of the second air duct 130. The second sealing ring 150 is used to abut against the first sealing ring 140. In this way, the connection between the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130 can be more effectively sealed.

[0069] Preferably, please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the second sealing ring 150 includes a second body portion 151 and a second skirt 152. The second body portion 151 and the second skirt 152 are both circumferentially closed annular structures. The second body portion 151 is connected to the edge of the second air duct 130 close to the first air duct 120. Along the radial direction of the second body portion 151, the second skirt 152 is located on the inner side of the second body portion 151 close to the center of the second body portion 151. The second skirt 152 is connected to the inner circumferential surface of the second body portion 151. In this way, the free end of the first skirt 142 can abut against the second skirt 152 to further increase the sealing of the connection between the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130.

[0070] In an embodiment not shown, the second sealing ring includes at least two second skirts. The at least two second skirts are arranged at intervals along the axis of the second air duct. The size of the second skirt is such that when the door is closed, the first skirt can abut against the second skirt away from the first sealing ring. Thus, when the second skirt close to the first sealing ring is damaged, the first skirt can also abut against other second skirts to ensure the sealing of the connection between the first air duct and the second air duct.

[0071] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second sealing ring 150 has a second clamping portion 153. The second clamping portion 153 is a circumferentially closed annular structure. The second clamping portion 153 is connected to the second body portion 151. The second clamping portion 153 is clamped to the edge of the second air duct 130. Thus, the installation of the second sealing ring 150 is facilitated.

[0072] Preferably, if Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the second clamping portion 153 includes a first wall 154 and a second wall 155. One end of the first wall 154 is connected to one end of the second body portion 151. The first wall 154 extends along the radial direction of the second body portion 151 to the outer peripheral side of the second body portion 151 away from the center of the second body portion 151. One end of the second wall 155 is connected to the free end of the first wall 154. The second wall 155 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the second body portion 151. Along the radial direction of the second body portion 151, there is a gap between the second wall 155 and the second body portion 151. The free end of the second wall 155 is closer to the second body portion 151 than the free end of the first wall 154. In this way, the second wall 155, the first wall 154 and the second body portion 151 form a shrinkage structure.

[0073] The edge of the second air duct 130 extends between the second wall 155 and the second body 151. In this way, the second wall 155 and the second body 151 clamp the edge of the second air duct 130. In other words, the edge of the second air duct 130 is clamped between the second wall 155 and the second body 151. Therefore, the structure of the second sealing ring 150 is simple.

[0074] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first wall 154 is connected to one side of the second body portion 151 close to the first air duct 120. Thus, the first body portion 141 can extend into the second air duct 130 as much as possible, and the second sealing ring 150 and the second air duct 130 are firmly connected.

[0075] Preferably, if Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the container door 110 is connected to the side wall 101 of the energy storage container. Thus, the container opening can be made larger.

[0076] The energy storage container further includes an air conditioner 160. The air conditioner 160 is connected to the door 110 and communicates with the first air duct 120. When the door 110 is closed, the air conditioner 160 can ventilate the battery through the first air duct 120 and the second air duct 130, thereby adjusting the temperature of the battery.
