[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means a limitation on the utility model and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the first embodiment of the utility model provides an energy storage inverter, which includes a chassis 10, a plurality of power elements 30, a liquid cooling plate 20 and a heat exchanger 40. The chassis 10 has a housing cavity. A plurality of power elements 30 are arranged in the housing cavity. The liquid cooling plate 20 has a first liquid cooling channel, and the first liquid cooling channel is used for circulating the cooling liquid. The liquid cooling plate 20 can cool down the plurality of power elements 30. The heat exchanger 40 includes a heat exchange fin 42 and a second liquid cooling channel 411 arranged for heat exchange with the heat exchange fin 42, and the second liquid cooling channel 411 is used for circulating the cooling liquid. The heat exchanger 40 cools down the plurality of power elements 30 through the heat exchange fin 42, and the first liquid cooling channel is connected to the second liquid cooling channel or is independently arranged.

[0040] By applying the technical solution of the present application, the liquid cooling plate 20 has a first liquid cooling channel, the heat exchanger 40 has a second liquid cooling channel 411, both the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel 411 have coolant, the heat exchange fins 42 of the heat exchanger 40 are located in the chassis 10, and the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel cooperate to cool down the multiple power components 30. With such an arrangement, the liquid cooling plate 20 and the heat exchanger 40 can better reduce the temperature in the chassis 10, so that the heat in the chassis 10 can be discharged with the flow of the coolant, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the energy storage inverter, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the energy storage inverter and avoiding damage to the components of the energy storage inverter. In addition, by adopting the above structure, the liquid cooling plate 20 and the heat exchanger 40 have a simple structure, are easy to assemble, and are convenient for arranging the liquid cooling plate 20 and the heat exchanger 40.

[0041] Specifically, in the present application, the heat exchanger 40 includes a plurality of heat exchange fins 42 , and the plurality of heat exchange fins 42 are all located in the accommodating cavity. Such a configuration can enhance the cooling effect on the plurality of power components 30 .

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the liquid cooling plate 20 is provided with a first opening and a second opening, both of which are connected to the first liquid cooling channel, and the heat exchanger 40 is provided with a third opening and a fourth opening, both of which are connected to the second liquid cooling channel, and the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel 411 are arranged in series, and along the flow direction of the coolant, the first liquid cooling channel is arranged upstream or downstream of the second liquid cooling channel 411. In general, when there are fewer power elements 30 in the energy storage converter and a strong heat dissipation effect is not required, the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel 411 are connected in series to achieve the cooling of the energy storage converter. Such a setting can reduce the layout of the pipeline and facilitate the connection of the liquid cooling plate 20 and the heat exchanger 40. Among them, the coolant can first flow into the first liquid cooling channel and then flow into the second liquid cooling channel 411. Preferably, the coolant first flows into the second liquid cooling channel 411 and then flows into the first liquid cooling channel.

[0043] Further, in the present application, the second opening is connected to the third opening, and the first opening is connected to a transition piece 53. The transition piece 53 includes a water storage cavity and a connection port that are connected to each other, and the connection port is arranged above the water storage cavity.

[0044] Among them, the liquid cooling plate 20 is arranged on the outside of the chassis 10, the liquid cooling plate 20 is located at the bottom of the chassis 10, the bottom of the chassis 10 has a bottom plate, and the liquid cooling plate 20 is in contact with the bottom plate, and the power element 30 is arranged on the bottom plate. Such an arrangement can prevent the coolant from damaging the components in the chassis 10 after the liquid cooling plate 20 leaks, thereby improving the safety of the energy storage inverter. Among them, in the present application, the power element 30 is arranged at the opening, and the power element 30 is in contact with the liquid cooling plate 20 through the opening. Such an arrangement facilitates the arrangement and installation of the power element 30, reduces the difficulty of installing the power element 30, and ensures the heat dissipation effect of the liquid cooling plate 20.

[0045] Furthermore, the energy storage converter further includes a heat exchange fan 51, which is arranged corresponding to the heat exchange fins 42. In this way, the heat exchange fan 51 can increase the air circulation speed in the heat dissipation channel, which facilitates the air around the power element 30 to exchange heat with the air at the heat exchange fins 42, thereby further improving the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 40, and further facilitating the heat dissipation of the energy storage converter.

[0046] Furthermore, a plurality of heat exchange fans 51 may be provided in the accommodating chamber. In the present application, two heat exchange fans 51 are provided in the accommodating chamber.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of partitions are arranged in the chassis 10 along the height direction, and the partitions can divide the accommodating cavity into a plurality of chambers 101 . The power components 30 are arranged in the chambers 101 , and two adjacent chambers 101 are connected to each other.

[0048] A spoiler fan 52 is also provided in the accommodating cavity. The spoiler fan 52 is provided corresponding to at least one chamber 101. Such a configuration can increase the speed of air circulation in the entire chassis 10, and at the same time facilitate cooling of other components in the chassis 10, further improving the heat dissipation effect of the energy storage converter.

[0049] Specifically, in the present application, a first circuit board 61 and a second circuit board 62 are provided in a chamber 101 away from the bottom plate, and a third circuit board 63 and a fourth circuit board 64 are provided in a chamber 101 close to the bottom plate. In addition, in the present application, some power elements 30 are located in a chamber 101 close to the bottom plate, such as an IGBT module, a reactor, etc., and an opening is provided on the bottom plate. The surface of the power element 30 is directly attached to the liquid cooling plate 20, and the liquid cooling plate 20 mainly cools down the power element 30. The remaining power elements 30 are located in a chamber 101 away from the bottom plate, and the heat exchanger 40 mainly dissipates heat for the power element 30. Such a configuration can prevent the temperature inside the energy storage converter from continuing to rise, and avoid over-temperature failures.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchanger 40 also includes a first flow port 413 connected to the second liquid cooling channel 411, and the coolant flows into the second liquid cooling channel 411 through the first flow port 413. The liquid inlet direction of the first flow port 413 is set at an angle with the flow direction of the coolant in the second liquid cooling channel 411. Such a setting facilitates the connection between the first flow port 413 and the pipeline for conveying the coolant, and the structure is simple and easy to operate. Among them, in the present application, the second liquid cooling channel 411 is horizontally arranged, and the liquid inlet direction of the first flow port 413 extends in the vertical direction.

[0051] Specifically, the heat exchanger 40 further includes a base plate 41, on which a first flow port 413 and a second flow port 414 communicating with the second liquid cooling channel 411 are provided, and the second flow port 414 extends in a horizontal direction. This arrangement ensures that the coolant is discharged from the second flow port 414, and avoids blockage of the coolant at the second flow port 414.

[0052] In this embodiment, the fourth opening is communicated with the first flow opening, and the third opening is communicated with the second flow opening.

[0053] Further, a protrusion 412 is provided on the substrate 41, and the first flow port 413 is provided on the protrusion 412. In the present application, the protrusion 412 is a square structure. Since the first flow port 413 is connected to the pipeline for conveying the coolant, the protrusion 412 can limit the pipeline, ensure the connection effect between the pipeline and the first flow port 413, and avoid leakage of the coolant at the first flow port 413.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchange fins 42 extend along the extension direction of the substrate 41, and a plurality of heat exchange fins 42 are arranged at intervals, and a first air duct is formed between two adjacent heat exchange fins 42. The air temperature in the first air duct is relatively low, and heat exchange can be performed with the air at the power element 30. With such an arrangement, the heat exchanger 40 has a simple structure and low cost. That is, the heat exchanger 40 can be a rack-type heat exchanger.

[0055] like Figure 7 As shown, the second embodiment of the utility model provides an energy storage converter, which is different from the first embodiment in that the liquid cooling plate 20 is provided with a first opening and a second opening, and the first opening and the second opening are both connected to the first liquid cooling channel. The heat exchanger 40 is provided with a third opening and a fourth opening, and the third opening and the fourth opening are both connected to the second liquid cooling channel. The energy storage converter also includes a first water inlet pipe and a first water outlet pipe, one end of the first water inlet pipe is respectively connected to the first opening and the third opening, and one end of the first water outlet pipe is respectively connected to the second opening and the fourth opening. When the power element 30 of the energy storage converter generates too much heat or the internal ambient temperature required for the long-term safe and reliable operation of some power elements 30 is low, the above structure can be adopted, so that the temperature of the coolant in the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel 411 is relatively low, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the energy storage converter. Such a configuration facilitates the coolant to flow into the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel, and at the same time facilitates the unified treatment of the coolant after heat exchange. The first opening and the second opening of the first liquid cooling channel and the third opening of the second liquid cooling channel 411 are all connected to an adapter 53 .

[0056] The third embodiment of the utility model provides an energy storage converter, which is different from the first embodiment in that the liquid cooling plate 20 is provided with a first opening and a second opening, both of which are connected to the first liquid cooling channel, the heat exchanger 40 is provided with a third opening and a fourth opening, both of which are connected to the second liquid cooling channel, and the energy storage converter also includes a second water inlet pipe, a second water outlet pipe and a third water outlet pipe, one end of the second water inlet pipe is connected to the first opening and the third opening respectively, one end of the second water outlet pipe is connected to the second opening, and one end of the third water outlet pipe is connected to the fourth opening. When the power element 30 of the energy storage converter generates too much heat or the internal ambient temperature required for the long-term safe and reliable operation of some power elements 30 is low, the above structure can be adopted, so that the temperature of the coolant in the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel 411 is relatively low, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the energy storage converter. Such a configuration facilitates the coolant to flow into the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel, and at the same time, the coolant in the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel can be transported to different pipelines for recycling.

[0057] Furthermore, the staff can select the series connection or parallel connection between the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel 411 according to the demand, and the staff can select the parallel connection between the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel 411 according to the demand.

[0058] like Figures 8 to 10As shown, the fourth embodiment of the utility model provides an energy storage converter, which is different from the first embodiment in that the heat exchanger 40 also includes a plurality of liquid distribution tubes 43, and the plurality of liquid distribution tubes 43 are all connected to the second liquid cooling channel 411 of the substrate 41, and the heat exchange fins 42 extend along the extension direction of the substrate 41. The plurality of heat exchange fins 42 are arranged at intervals, and the liquid distribution tubes 43 are arranged on the plurality of fins along the extension direction of the heat exchange fins 42, and a second air duct is formed between two adjacent heat exchange fins 42. With such an arrangement, the air temperature in the second air duct is relatively low, and heat exchange can be performed with the air at the power element 30. Among them, the heat exchange fins 42 and the liquid distribution tubes 43 are interference fit, and the liquid distribution tubes 43 and the heat exchange fins 42 are made of aluminum. With such an arrangement, the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger 40 can be further improved. That is, the heat exchanger 40 can be a tube-fin heat exchanger.

[0059] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the fifth embodiment of the utility model provides an energy storage converter, which is different from the first embodiment in that two collecting tubes 44 are relatively spaced apart on the substrate 41, and the two collecting tubes 44 are both connected to the second liquid cooling channel 411 of the substrate 41, and a plurality of liquid separation plates 45 are arranged between the two collecting tubes 44, and the plurality of liquid separation plates 45 are arranged in parallel, and the plurality of liquid separation plates 45 are all connected to the two collecting tubes 44, and a third air duct is formed between two adjacent liquid separation plates 45, and a heat exchange fin 42 is arranged in each third air duct. With such an arrangement, the air temperature in the third air duct is relatively low, and heat exchange can be performed with the air at the power element 30. Among them, the liquid separation plate 45 is welded to the heat exchange fin 42, that is, the heat exchanger 40 can be an integrated heat exchanger.

[0060] Among them, the heat exchange fins 42 are sorted according to the heat exchange effect, from low to high, rack type, tube fin type and integrated heat exchanger, and the staff can choose different types of heat exchange fins 42 according to needs.

[0061] Furthermore, the energy storage converter adopts IP66 high protection and anti-corrosion grade C5-M. Such a setting can increase the service life of the energy storage converter and ensure the reliability of the operation of the energy storage converter.

[0062] The sixth embodiment of the present invention provides an energy storage system, which includes a liquid cooling unit, a battery system and the energy storage converter provided above. Such a configuration can improve the heat dissipation effect of the energy storage system and ensure the long-term safe operation of the energy storage system.

[0063] Specifically, in some embodiments, the energy storage system includes an energy storage inverter and a Pack, and the energy storage inverter and the Pack are highly integrated. When the first liquid cooling channel and the second liquid cooling channel 411 are arranged in parallel, since the coolant temperature in the energy storage inverter is higher and the coolant temperature in the pack is lower, a branch can be taken from the pack water circuit to supply the heat exchanger 40 of the energy storage inverter, and the liquid cooling plate 20 has a separate water circuit, thereby achieving effective control of the ambient temperature inside the chassis 10.

[0064] Embodiment 7 of the present utility model provides an energy storage system, which is different from embodiment 6 in that the liquid cooling unit has a first liquid cooling pipeline, and the battery system has a second liquid cooling pipeline.
