DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present application is further described in detail below by specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Wherein similar elements in different embodiments adopt associated similar element numbers. In the following embodiments, many detailed descriptions are intended to enable the present application to be better understood. However, those skilled in the art can easily recognize that some of the features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, and methods. In some cases, some operations related to the present application are not shown or described in the specification, in order to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description, and for those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail, and they can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in the art.

[0023] In addition, the features, operations or characteristics described in the specification can be combined in any appropriate manner to form various implementations, and the operation steps involved in each embodiment can also be replaced or adjusted in order in a manner that is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the specification and drawings are only for the purpose of clearly describing a certain embodiment, and do not mean that the composition and / or order are necessary.

[0024] The serial numbers of the components in this document, such as "first", "second", etc., are only used to distinguish the objects described and do not have any order or technical meaning. The "connection" and "coupling" mentioned in this application, unless otherwise specified, include direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0025] The energy storage device provided in the present application is applied to photovoltaic energy storage equipment installed on the balcony. The energy storage device converts solar energy into electrical energy for storage by connecting photovoltaic panels, and supplies power to the load by connecting inverters and other equipment. The energy storage device usually sets the input interface and the output interface on the left and right sides of the product. The input connection line and the output connection line can only be drawn from the left and right sides of the energy storage device. In addition, since the installation positions of the photovoltaic panels and the inverters are relatively fixed, the energy storage device can only be installed on the balcony in a fixed position. For example, in the state of the fixed installation position, the back of the energy storage device faces the fence side of the balcony, and the front faces the user. When the energy storage device needs to be shifted due to factors such as space layout, for example, the back of the energy storage device faces the wall of the building. Therefore, the input connection line and the output connection line must be bent through the top of the energy storage device to change the path. This results in messy and complicated routing, affecting the appearance of the product. At the same time, long-term bending can easily cause the input connection line and the output connection line to break, causing safety accidents.

[0026] In the present application, if the position of the photovoltaic panel connected to the input connection line and the inverter connected to the output connection line are replaced to adapt to the changed position of the energy storage device, a lot of manpower and time costs are required, and this method is usually not adopted.

[0027] In response to the above problems, the present application proposes an energy storage device, which changes the setting positions of the input connection part and the output connection part to facilitate the connection with the input connection line and the output connection line after changing the installation position of the energy storage device, so as to reduce costs.

[0036] The energy storage device provided in the present application also includes: a fixing component 50, which is arranged on the back side of the shell 10, and the fixing component 50 is used to fix the input connection line 100 connected to the input connection part 30 and the output connection line 200 connected to the output connection part 40 to prevent the input connection line 100 and the output connection line 200 from falling off due to the tipping of the energy storage device.

[0037] In this embodiment, two fixing components 50 are provided, and the two fixing components 50 are respectively arranged on the side edges of the back side of the shell 10 to respectively fix the input connection line 100 connected to the input connection part 30 and the output connection line 200 connected to the output connection part 40, thereby adapting to fixing the input connection line 100 and the output connection line 200 extending in different directions.

The pressing plate 51 is fixed to the notch of the receiving groove 13 to cooperate with the receiving groove 13 to clamp the input connection line 100 connected to the input connection part 30 and the output connection line 200 connected to the output connection part 40.

[0039] In this embodiment, at least two receiving grooves 13 are provided on the side of the back side of the shell 10 to respectively receive the positive input connection line 101 and the negative input connection line 102 of the input connection line 100, or to respectively receive the positive output connection line 201 and the negative output connection line 202 of the output connection line 200.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a recess 14 is further provided on the back of the housing 10 , and the input connection portion 30 and the output connection portion 40 are both disposed in the recess 14 , so that the back of the housing 10 can be kept relatively flat.
