Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of energy storage containers, and in particular to a snow removal device for an outdoor unit of an air conditioner in an energy storage container. Background Art

[0002] In the development and application of energy storage technology, energy storage containers are an efficient and flexible energy storage solution, and their stable operation under different climatic conditions is crucial. However, when energy storage containers are deployed in high latitudes, high altitudes and relatively low temperature areas, rain and snow are easy to adhere to and condense on the grille surface of the air outlet of the air conditioner outdoor unit, seriously affecting air circulation and causing the air conditioner to be unable to normally regulate the temperature inside the energy storage container. This not only affects the operating efficiency and safety of the energy storage equipment, but may also have an adverse effect on the performance and life of the energy storage battery.

[0003] In the actual production process, in order to solve this problem, manual cleaning or installing heating devices to melt ice and snow are currently the main methods used. However, these methods are often ineffective in actual applications. The disadvantage of manual cleaning is that in a continuously low temperature environment, ice and snow will quickly re-accumulate and require frequent cleaning, which not only increases labor costs, but may also lead to untimely cleaning and affect the normal operation of the energy storage container. In addition, during the cleaning process, ice and snow can easily enter the air-conditioning outdoor unit through the gaps between the grilles. Once too much ice and snow accumulate inside the air-conditioning outdoor unit, it will also affect the normal operation of the equipment. Although the heating device can melt the accumulated snow to prevent ice and snow coverage to a certain extent, at extremely low temperatures, not only is the snow removal effect poor, but long-term operation will cause equipment damage and increased maintenance costs. In addition, the heating device may also produce accumulated water or ice in the process of melting the accumulated snow, further increasing the difficulty of maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model aims to propose a snow removal device for the outdoor unit of an energy storage container air conditioner to solve the problem in the prior art that ice and snow are easily attached to the surface of the grille of the air outlet of the outdoor unit of the energy storage container air conditioner in high altitude, low latitude or low temperature areas with more rain and snow, thereby blocking the air outlet, and manual cleaning or installing a heating device to melt the ice and snow are not effective.
