[0030] In the above embodiment, the liquid-cooled household energy storage system may include a liquid-cooled circulation subsystem, a PCS energy storage converter subsystem, and one or more battery pack subsystems. The number of battery pack subsystems may be determined according to the actual demand for energy storage. The liquid-cooled circulation subsystem may include a water inlet pipeline interface and a water outlet pipeline interface, wherein the liquid-cooled circulation subsystem provides cooling liquid to the outside through an internal water outlet pipeline interface, and receives the cooling liquid flowing back from the outside through an internal water inlet pipeline interface. The PCS energy storage converter subsystem may include a first liquid cooling plate, a water inlet pipeline, a water outlet pipeline, a water inlet pipeline interface, and a water outlet pipeline interface. The first liquid cooling plate may provide cooling function for the heat dissipation components inside the PCS energy storage converter subsystem, and the water inlet pipeline and the water outlet pipeline inside the PCS energy storage converter subsystem are three-way pipelines, respectively, and the three outlets of each three-way pipeline may be referred to as the first end, the second end, and the third end. Among them, inside the PCS energy storage converter subsystem, the first end of the water inlet pipeline is connected to the first liquid cooling plate, and the first liquid cooling plate is connected to the first end of the water outlet pipeline. In addition, inside the PCS energy storage converter subsystem, the second end of the water inlet pipeline can be connected to the water inlet pipeline interface, and the second end of the water outlet pipeline can be connected to the water outlet pipeline interface. For each battery pack subsystem, each battery pack subsystem may include a second liquid cooling plate, a water inlet pipeline, a water outlet pipeline, a water inlet pipeline interface and a water outlet pipeline interface. The second liquid cooling plate can provide cooling function for the heat dissipation components (such as battery cell modules, etc.) inside the battery pack subsystem, and the water inlet pipeline and the water outlet pipeline inside the battery pack subsystem are three-way pipelines, respectively, and the three outlets of each three-way pipeline can be referred to as the first end, the second end and the third end. Among them, inside the battery pack subsystem, the first end of the water inlet pipeline is connected to the second liquid cooling plate, and the second liquid cooling plate is connected to the first end of the water outlet pipeline. In addition, inside the battery pack subsystem, the second end of the water inlet pipe can be connected to the water inlet pipe interface, and the second end of the water outlet pipe can be connected to the water outlet pipe interface.
[0031] In a liquid-cooled household energy storage system, the liquid-cooling circulation subsystem can be connected to any subsystem to be connected. Here, the subsystem to be connected can be a PCS energy storage converter subsystem or a battery pack subsystem. Specifically, the outlet pipe interface in the liquid-cooling circulation subsystem can be connected to the subsystem to be connected through the third end of the water inlet pipe of the subsystem to be connected, and at the same time, the water inlet pipe interface in the liquid-cooling circulation subsystem can be connected to the subsystem to be connected through the third end of the water outlet pipe of the subsystem to be connected. In this way, the liquid-cooling circulation subsystem and any subsystem to be connected can be connected, so that the liquid-cooling circulation subsystem provides cooling liquid for the liquid cooling plate of any of the above-mentioned subsystems to be connected, thereby realizing cooling and heat dissipation of any of the above-mentioned subsystems to be connected.
[0032] After the liquid cooling circulation subsystem is connected to any subsystem to be connected, the remaining subsystems that are not connected can be referred to as the remaining subsystems to be connected. For example, assuming that the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem is connected to the liquid cooling circulation subsystem, then the remaining subsystems to be connected are the remaining one or more battery pack subsystems; assuming that the battery pack subsystem is connected to the liquid cooling circulation subsystem, and the liquid-cooled household energy storage system only includes one battery pack subsystem, then the remaining subsystems to be connected are the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem; assuming that the battery pack subsystem is connected to the liquid cooling circulation subsystem, and the liquid-cooled household energy storage system includes multiple battery pack subsystems, then the remaining subsystems to be connected are the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem, and the battery pack subsystems that are not connected. In addition to connecting the liquid cooling circulation subsystem and any subsystem to be connected, the remaining subsystems to be connected must also be connected. At this time, the remaining subsystems to be connected can be connected in pairs in sequence according to the sequence requirements. For example, the remaining subsystems to be connected include three subsystems, which are respectively called subsystem 1 to subsystem 3. Then, after the remaining subsystems to be connected are connected in pairs, the connection order may include six types: 1) subsystem 1 is connected to subsystem 2, and subsystem 2 is connected to subsystem 3; 2) subsystem 1 is connected to subsystem 3, and subsystem 3 is connected to subsystem 2; 3) subsystem 2 is connected to subsystem 1, and subsystem 1 is connected to subsystem 3; 4) subsystem 2 is connected to subsystem 3, and subsystem 3 is connected to subsystem 1; 5) subsystem 3 is connected to subsystem 2, and subsystem 2 is connected to subsystem 1; 6) subsystem 3 is connected to subsystem 1, and subsystem 1 is connected to subsystem 2. When the remaining subsystems to be connected are connected in pairs, the water inlet pipeline interface of the previous subsystem to be connected is connected to the third end of the water inlet pipeline of the next subsystem to be connected, and the water outlet pipeline interface of the previous subsystem to be connected is connected to the third end of the water outlet pipeline of the next subsystem to be connected. For example, the connection order of the remaining subsystems to be connected is: subsystem 1 is connected to subsystem 2, and subsystem 2 is connected to subsystem 3. That is, the water inlet pipe interface of subsystem 1 is connected to the third end of the water inlet pipe of subsystem 2, and the water outlet pipe interface of subsystem 1 is connected to the third end of the water outlet pipe of subsystem 2; the water inlet pipe interface of subsystem 2 is connected to the third end of the water inlet pipe of subsystem 3, and the water outlet pipe interface of subsystem 2 is connected to the third end of the water outlet pipe of subsystem 3.
[0033] The remaining subsystems to be connected, which are connected in pairs, include the first subsystem to be connected and the last subsystem to be connected. For example, the connection order of the remaining subsystems to be connected is: subsystem 1 is connected to subsystem 2, and subsystem 2 is connected to subsystem 3. Then the first subsystem to be connected is subsystem 1, and the last subsystem to be connected is subsystem 3. Assuming that any subsystem to be connected connected to the liquid cooling circulation subsystem is subsystem 4, then the third end of the water inlet pipe of subsystem 1 is connected to the water inlet pipe interface of subsystem 4, the third end of the water outlet pipe of subsystem 1 is connected to the water outlet pipe interface of subsystem 4, and the water inlet pipe interface and the water outlet pipe interface of subsystem 3 are closed. Since then, each subsystem has formed a parallel connection structure. The specific connection order is: the liquid cooling circulation subsystem is connected to subsystem 4, subsystem 4 is connected to subsystem 1, subsystem 1 is connected to subsystem 2, and subsystem 2 is connected to subsystem 3. The liquid cooling circulation subsystem provides cooling liquid for the liquid cooling plate of each subsystem to achieve cooling and heat dissipation of each subsystem.
[0034] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the water inlet pipes and the water outlet pipes in each subsystem can use ordinary pipes for transferring coolant in the prior art, the water inlet pipe interface and the water outlet pipe interface can use interfaces in the prior art that can be tightly connected to the pipes without leaking, and the liquid cooling plate can also be a liquid cooling plate that already exists in the prior art and meets the required specifications. No special requirements are made for the above-mentioned components in the embodiments of the present application.
[0035] like Figure 1As shown, it is assumed that the liquid-cooled household energy storage system includes a liquid-cooling circulation subsystem, a PCS energy storage inverter subsystem and two battery pack subsystems, wherein the connection order of these subsystems is the liquid-cooling circulation subsystem connected to the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem, the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem connected to the first battery pack subsystem, and the first battery pack subsystem connected to the second battery pack subsystem. Among them, the water outlet pipe interface 10 of the liquid cooling circulation subsystem is connected to the third end of the water inlet pipe 17 of the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem, and the water inlet pipe interface 8 of the liquid cooling circulation subsystem is connected to the third end of the water outlet pipe 18 of the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem; the first end of the water inlet pipe 17 of the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem, the first liquid cooling plate 16 and the first end of the water outlet pipe 18 of the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem are connected in sequence; the water inlet pipe interface 21 of the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem is connected to the third end of the water inlet pipe 28 of the first battery pack subsystem, and the water outlet pipe interface 22 of the PCS energy storage inverter subsystem is connected to the first The third end of the water outlet pipeline 29 of the battery pack subsystem is connected; the first end of the water inlet pipeline 28 of the first battery pack subsystem, the second liquid cooling plate 27 and the first end of the water outlet pipeline 29 of the first battery pack subsystem are connected in sequence; the water inlet pipeline interface 32 of the first battery pack subsystem is connected to the third end of the water inlet pipeline 28 of the second battery pack subsystem, and the water outlet pipeline interface 33 of the first battery pack subsystem is connected to the third end of the water outlet pipeline 29 of the second battery pack subsystem; the first end of the water inlet pipeline 28 of the second battery pack subsystem, the second liquid cooling plate 27 and the first end of the water outlet pipeline 29 of the second battery pack subsystem are connected in sequence. The water outlet pipeline interface 33 and the water inlet pipeline interface 32 of the second battery pack subsystem are sealed to prevent coolant leakage.
[0036] Take the PCS energy storage converter subsystem as an example. Figure 2 As shown, the upper part of the water inlet pipeline 17 of the PCS energy storage converter subsystem is the third end of the water inlet pipeline 17, the right part of the water inlet pipeline 17 (i.e., the part connected to the first liquid cooling plate) is the first end of the water inlet pipeline 17, and the lower part of the water inlet pipeline 17 (i.e., the part connected to the water inlet pipeline interface 21) is the second end of the water inlet pipeline 17. For each battery pack subsystem, the positions of the first end, the second end, and the third end are the same as those of the PCS energy storage converter subsystem.

At the same time, the number of battery pack subsystems can be adjusted according to user needs, thereby adjusting the battery capacity, which has strong flexibility.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the battery pack subsystem can be used to store electrical energy and output electrical energy when needed, and can be expanded according to the actual needs of the user, with a quantity of 1 to N. Figure 7 As shown, each battery pack subsystem also includes a third electrical connection element 24 ( Figure 7), a battery cell module 25 and a DC-DC power module 26, the battery cell module 25 and the DC-DC power module 26 are placed on the second liquid cooling plate 27.

Here, the battery cell module can be any battery cell module suitable for household energy storage in the prior art, and the DC-DC power module can be any DC-DC power module suitable for household energy storage in the prior art, which is not required here. The third electrical connection element 24 in the embodiment of the present application can be a plug-in connector for transmitting current and signals. For example, the third electrical connection element 24 may include a PV connector for transmitting current, and a signal connector for transmitting signals, and the form of the third electrical connection element 24 is not specifically required here.
[0050] In one embodiment of the utility model, preferably, each of the battery pack subsystems further includes a chassis, and one side of the chassis includes two holes, wherein one hole is used to insert a water inlet pipe of the battery pack subsystem, and the other hole is used to insert a water outlet pipe of the battery pack subsystem.
[0051] In the above embodiment, if Figure 8 As shown, the battery pack subsystem may further include a chassis 23, which is used to place the main components of the battery pack subsystem inside, and only expose most of the water inlet pipe 28 (including most of the first end, the second end and the third end), most of the water outlet pipe 29 (including most of the first end, the second end and the third end), the water inlet pipe interface 32 and the water outlet pipe interface 33. One side of the chassis 23 may include two holes, one of which is used to insert the first end of the water inlet pipe 28, and the other is used to insert the first end of the water outlet pipe 29. It should be noted that Figure 8 The disassembly diagram of the battery pack subsystem shows that when the battery pack subsystem is in operation, the chassis 23 and the second liquid cooling plate 27 are in contact with each other, and a rectangular space is formed after the contact. Figure 8 The third electrical connection element 24 is shown in the figure, and the third electrical connection element 24 can be set on one side of the chassis 23. The embodiment of the present application provides a chassis 23 for the battery pack subsystem, and uses the chassis 23 and the second liquid cooling plate 27 to protect the various components included in the battery pack subsystem, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the liquid-cooled household energy storage system. In addition, the chassis 23 can also include a visual window, through which the working status of the battery pack subsystem can be observed, which is beneficial to help users understand the working status of the battery pack subsystem.
[0052] In one embodiment of the utility model, preferably, each of the subsystems to be connected further includes an inlet pipe solenoid valve and an outlet pipe solenoid valve; the inlet pipe solenoid valve is arranged on the second end of the water inlet pipe of the subsystem to be connected, and the inlet pipe solenoid valve is used to automatically open when receiving an opening signal, and automatically close when receiving a closing signal; the outlet pipe solenoid valve is arranged on the second end of the water outlet pipe of the subsystem to be connected, and the outlet pipe solenoid valve is used to automatically open when receiving an opening signal, and automatically close when receiving a closing signal.
[0053] In the above embodiment, the PCS energy storage converter subsystem and the battery pack subsystem may also include an inlet pipe solenoid valve and an outlet pipe solenoid valve. Among them, the inlet pipe solenoid valve may be arranged on the second end of the inlet pipe of the corresponding subsystem to be connected, and the outlet pipe solenoid valve may be arranged on the second end of the outlet pipe of the corresponding subsystem to be connected. Both the inlet pipe solenoid valve and the outlet pipe solenoid valve can be automatically opened when receiving an opening signal, and automatically closed when receiving a closing signal. In the embodiment of the present application, an inlet pipe solenoid valve is arranged on the inlet pipe of the PCS energy storage converter subsystem and the inlet pipe of each battery pack subsystem, and an outlet pipe solenoid valve is arranged on the outlet pipe of the PCS energy storage converter subsystem and the outlet pipe of each battery pack subsystem. After the pipe interfaces and interfaces of adjacent subsystems are connected, the inlet pipe solenoid valve and the outlet pipe solenoid valve can be automatically opened and closed by the received signal, which facilitates the expansion of the battery pack subsystem.
[0054] In this embodiment, for every two subsystems to be connected that are connected in sequence, the water inlet pipe interface of the previous subsystem to be connected can be provided with a male head of an interface connector, and the water inlet pipe of the next subsystem to be connected can be provided with a female head of an interface connector; or the water inlet pipe interface of the previous subsystem to be connected can be provided with a female head of an interface connector, and the water inlet pipe of the next subsystem to be connected can be provided with a male head of an interface connector. In this way, after the two male and female heads of the interface connector are plugged in, the mechanical connection can trigger a switch opening signal (i.e., the above-mentioned opening signal), and the water inlet pipe solenoid valve of the previous subsystem to be connected can be opened under the control of the switch opening signal. When the interface connector is released, a switch closing signal (i.e., the above-mentioned closing signal) can be triggered, and the water inlet pipe solenoid valve of the previous subsystem to be connected can be closed under the control of the switch closing signal. The working principle of the water outlet pipe solenoid valve is the same as that of the water inlet pipe solenoid valve.
[0055] like Fig. 9 As shown, taking the PCS energy storage converter subsystem as an example, the installation positions of the water inlet pipeline solenoid valve and the water outlet pipeline solenoid valve are introduced. Fig. 9The water inlet line solenoid valve 19 is installed at the second end of the water inlet line 17, and the water outlet line solenoid valve 20 is installed at the second end of the water outlet line 18. Figure 1 As shown, when the water inlet pipeline interface 21 of the PCS energy storage converter subsystem is connected to the water inlet pipeline 28 of the battery pack subsystem, the two male and female heads of the interface connector are plugged in, and the mechanical connection can trigger a switch opening signal. At this time, the water inlet pipeline solenoid valve of the PCS energy storage converter subsystem is opened, and the circulation of the coolant can be realized. Therefore, after the coolant flows out from the water outlet pipeline interface 10 of the liquid cooling circulation subsystem, it can flow into the second liquid cooling plate 27 through the water inlet pipeline 17 of the PCS energy storage converter subsystem, the water inlet pipeline solenoid valve 19, the water inlet pipeline interface 21, and the water inlet pipeline 28 of the battery pack subsystem. The last subsystem to be connected in pairs of subsystems to be connected will not trigger the generation of a switch opening signal because its corresponding water inlet pipeline interface has no water inlet pipeline plugged in with it. Therefore, the water inlet pipeline solenoid valve of the last subsystem to be connected does not receive the opening control instruction, and the water inlet pipeline solenoid valve remains in a closed state, thereby achieving the effect of automatically closing the second end of the water inlet pipeline of the last subsystem to be connected. Similarly, the working principle of the outlet pipeline electromagnetic valve is the same as that of the inlet pipeline electromagnetic valve, which will not be repeated here. This embodiment can make the on-off connection of the pipeline simpler and more convenient by setting the inlet pipeline electromagnetic valve and the outlet pipeline electromagnetic valve, without manual operation.
[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, preferably, Fig.10 As shown, an overall appearance diagram of a liquid-cooled household energy storage system is given, wherein the first electrical connection element 2, the second electrical connection element 14 and the two third electrical connection elements 24 can be connected in sequence, and the various pipelines can be connected in sequence, so that the liquid-cooled household energy storage system has a liquid cooling pipeline part on one side and a current and electrical signal part on the other side, which is convenient for maintenance and arrangement.
[0057] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
