[0051] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] The utility model provides a container 100 for transporting energy storage batteries. For the specific structure of the container 100, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 and Figure 5 The box body 110 includes a box body 110 having a storage battery accommodating cavity 116. The box body 110 is constructed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped structure. The box body 110 includes a top plate 111, a bottom plate 112, a side plate 113, an end plate 114 and a box door 115. The top plate 111 and the bottom plate 112 are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction of the box body 110, the end plate 114 and the box door 115 are arranged opposite to each other in the length direction of the box body 110, and the two side plates 113 are arranged opposite to each other in the width direction of the box body 110.

[0053] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the box body 110 has an exhaust port 118 connected to the energy storage battery housing chamber 116. The container 100 also includes an air purification device 120. The air purification device 120 is at least partially installed in the energy storage battery housing chamber 116, and is used to purify the air in the energy storage battery housing chamber 116 so that the purified air is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 118.

[0054] For the specific structure of the air purification device 120, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 , which includes a shell 121, a fan 122 and an air purification component 123, wherein the shell 121 is arranged in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 and connected to the box body 110, the shell 121 has an air duct 1211 and an air inlet 1212 connected to the air duct 1211, and the air in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 can flow into the air duct 1211 through the air inlet 1212 on the shell 121; the fan 122 is at least partially installed in the air duct 1211, and the air outlet 1221 of the fan 122 is connected to the outside through the exhaust port 118; the air purification component 123 is installed in the air duct 1211 and is arranged opposite to the air inlet 1212, and is used to purify the air flowing into the air duct 1211, so that the purified air is discharged through the air outlet 1221 of the fan 122, so as to prevent harmful gases from diffusing to the outside and polluting the environment.

[0055] According to the container 100 for transporting energy storage batteries of the utility model, harmful gases generated by excessive temperature or combustion of the energy storage batteries themselves can be purified through the air purification device 120, so that the purified air is discharged through the air outlet 1221 of the fan 122. The operation is convenient, the purification effect is good, and harmful gases are prevented from polluting the environment.

[0056] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of air inlet holes 1212 are arranged at intervals on the housing 121 , which is conducive to the rapid diffusion of air in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 into the air duct 1211 , thereby reducing the potential safety hazard caused by the large accumulation of harmful gases in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 .

[0057] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the shell 121 has an opening connected to the air duct 1211, and the shell 121 on the outer peripheral side of the opening and the box body 110 on the outer peripheral side of the exhaust port 118 are detachably connected by fasteners, which is convenient for regular maintenance and replacement of components such as the air purification component 123 and the fan 122 in the air duct 1211.

[0058] Preferably, the shell 121 is provided with an opening connected to the air duct 1211, and the air purification device 120 also includes a cover body that can be opened and closed to cover the opening. The cover body can be constructed as an inspection door. The operator can open the opening through the cover body to maintain and replace components such as the air purification component 123 and the fan 122 in the air duct 1211, which makes the operation simpler and more labor-saving.

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air purification device 120 is arranged on one side of the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 close to the end plate 114. Specifically, an exhaust port 118 is arranged on the upper part of the end plate 114, and the shell 121 on the outer peripheral side of the opening is detachably connected to the end plate 114 on the outer peripheral side of the exhaust port 118 through fasteners. Since the energy storage battery itself has an excessively high temperature or the harmful gases generated by combustion, such as CO, gaseous hydrocarbons, HF, etc., have a density less than that of air, the air purification device 120 is installed on the upper part of the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116, which is more conducive to the flow of harmful gases into the air duct 1211, thereby improving the air purification efficiency.

[0060] As an optional embodiment, the specific structure of the air purification component 123 can be found in Figure 4 and Figure 5, which includes a mounting frame 1234, a first porous plate 1231, a second porous plate 1232 and an air purifier, wherein the mounting frame 1234 is connected to the shell 121; the first porous plate 1231 is connected to the mounting frame 1234 and is arranged opposite to the air inlet hole 1212; the second porous plate 1232 is connected to the mounting frame 1234 and is arranged in sequence with the first porous plate 1231 along the air flow direction; the air purifier is filled between the first porous plate 1231 and the second porous plate 1232, and after the air in the energy storage battery accommodating cavity 116 flows into the air duct 1211 through the air inlet hole 1212 on the shell 121, the air purifier can eliminate harmful gases in the air.

[0061] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first porous plate 1231 is closer to the fan 122 than the second porous plate 1232, and the first porous plate 1231 and the second porous plate 1232 are both provided with a plurality of filter holes 1233. The filter holes 1233 on the second porous plate 1232 are arranged in the same direction as the center line of the air inlet hole 1212 on the opposite side shell 121, and the center lines of the filter holes 1233 on the first porous plate 1231 and the filter holes 1233 on the second porous plate 1232 are arranged in the same direction, so that the purified air can flow out through the filter holes 1233 on the second porous plate 1232 and flow toward the air inlet of the fan 122.

[0062] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second porous plate 1232 is arranged opposite to the first porous plate 1231. The second porous plate 1232 is tightly fitted to the inner side surface of the shell 121 and is located on the opposite side of the air inlet 1212, so that the harmful gas generated by the energy storage battery can be efficiently decomposed or adsorbed by the air purifier between the first porous plate 1231 and the second porous plate 1232.

[0063] Preferably, the shell 121, the first porous plate 1231 and the second porous plate 1232 are all punching plates, which are easy to process, have a uniform porous structure, high permeability and anti-blocking performance, and low flow resistance.

[0064] As an optional embodiment not shown, the air purification component 123 includes a honeycomb carrier and an air purifier, wherein the honeycomb carrier has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other along the flow direction of air, the first side is arranged opposite to the air inlet 1212, and the second side is closer to the fan 122 relative to the first side; the air purifier is loaded on the surface of the honeycomb carrier, so that the harmful gas generated by the energy storage battery can be efficiently decomposed or adsorbed by the air purifier loaded on the surface of the honeycomb carrier in the process of flowing through the honeycomb carrier.

[0065] like Figure 6As shown, the box body 110 has an installation cavity 117, and the installation cavity 117 and the energy storage battery accommodating cavity 116 are independently arranged. The installation cavity 117 is used to place the control device and the fire protection system. The control device is connected to the fire protection system. When the energy storage battery burns, the operator can start the fire protection system through the control device to extinguish the fire in the energy storage battery accommodating cavity 116.

[0066] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the box body 110 also includes a compartment door 160 that can open and close the installation cavity 117, so that the operator can open the compartment door 160 outside the container 100, as an optional embodiment not shown, wherein the fire protection system includes a fire protection pipeline, which transports the fire extinguishing agent into the energy storage battery accommodating cavity 116 and discharges it from the energy storage battery accommodating cavity 116, thereby realizing full immersion fire extinguishing in the energy storage battery accommodating cavity 116.

[0067] As an optional embodiment not shown, the container 100 also includes a control device and a detection device. The detection device and the fan 122 are both connected to the control device. The detection device is arranged in the energy storage battery housing chamber 116 and is used to detect the environmental parameters in the energy storage battery housing chamber 116. The control device controls the operating state of the fan 122 according to the environmental parameters.

[0068] The detection device adopts a combination of multiple single detectors or a composite detector or a video detector or a grating detector or an infrared detector. The combination of multiple single detectors or the composite detector generally detects elements including temperature, smoke, hydrogen, CO, CO2, gaseous hydrocarbons, HF, etc.

[0069] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, an air outlet switch connected to the outside is provided at the air outlet 118, and the air outlet switch is connected to the control device so that the air outlet switch and the fan 122 are opened or closed synchronously. When the temperature in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 detected by the detection device is greater than the safety temperature threshold or the concentration of harmful gases in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 is greater than the safety concentration threshold, the control device controls the fan 122 to turn on, so as to drive the harmful gases in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 to flow into the air duct 1211 and be efficiently decomposed or adsorbed by the air purifier, and at the same time controls the fan 122 to turn on synchronously, so that the purified air is discharged to the outside through the air outlet switch, and ensures that the pressure inside and outside the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 is basically the same.

[0070] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the air outlet switch is an electric shutter 124, and the electric shutter 124 is connected to the air outlet 1221 of the fan 122 through the exhaust port 118. When the electric shutter 124 and the fan 122 are opened synchronously, the purified air can be discharged to the outside through the electric shutter 124. When the electric shutter 124 is in a closed state, dust or rainwater is prevented from entering the box body 110 through the electric shutter 124, thereby enhancing the wind and rain water tightness of the container 100, thereby adapting to the working conditions of multimodal transport.

[0071] For the specific structure of the electric shutter 124, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 , which includes a connecting frame 1241 and a louver assembly 1242, wherein the connecting frame 1241 is connected to the air outlet 1221 of the fan 122 through the exhaust port 118, and the louver assembly 1242 is arranged in the connecting frame 1241. The louver assembly 1242 includes at least two louver blades 12421, and each louver blade 12421 is parallel to each other and flips around the rotation axis between the closed position and the open position.

[0072] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, each louver 12421 is arranged in the horizontal direction in a manner of being spaced from each other in the up and down directions, and each louver 12421 flips around the horizontal rotation axis between the closed position and the open position. As an optional embodiment not shown, two adjacent louvers 12421 are hingedly connected, and each louver 12421 is rotatably installed in the connecting frame 1241 through a rotating shaft. The output end of the motor is connected to the input end of the reducer, and the output end of the reducer is connected to the rotating shaft near the bottom of the connecting frame 1241. When the rotating shaft near the bottom of the connecting frame 1241 is driven by the motor through the reducer to rotate along the horizontal rotation axis, the direction of the louver 12421 near the bottom of the connecting frame 1241 changes. According to the principle of parallelogram, two adjacent louvers 12421 are hingedly connected, and the remaining louvers 12421 also rotate together, thereby achieving an overall change in the direction of multiple louvers 12421.

[0073] The box body 110 includes an outer wall and an inner wall arranged in sequence from the outside to the inside, and the energy storage battery accommodating cavity 116 and the installation cavity 117 are both provided with an insulation layer 130 that fits the inner wall, and / or an insulation layer 130 is provided between the outer wall and the inner wall. Figure 6 As shown, the energy storage battery accommodating cavity 116 and the installation cavity 117 are both provided with an insulation layer 130 in contact with the inner wall to prevent factors such as sun exposure from causing abnormal temperature in the box body 110. Preferably, the insulation layer 130 can be constructed as block-shaped insulation cotton to ensure that the container 100 has good thermal insulation performance.

[0074] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the box body 110 is installed with a bursting valve 150 , and the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 is connected to the outside through the bursting valve 150 to prevent the danger caused by excessive air pressure in the box. Specifically, the bursting valve 150 is installed on the top plate 111 of the box body 110 .

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, the box body 110 is installed with a one-way valve 140. The one-way valve 140 allows external air to enter the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 through the one-way valve 140 and prohibits the air in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 from flowing to the outside through the one-way valve 140. The one-way valve 140 is used to compensate the air in the energy storage battery accommodating chamber 116 during the air purification process. Specifically, the one-way valve 140 is installed on the side panel 113 of the box body 110 and is located at the upper part of the side panel 113.

[0076] The processes and steps described in all the above preferred embodiments are only examples. Unless adverse effects occur, various processing operations can be performed in a sequence different from the sequence of the above processes. The sequence of steps in the above processes can also be increased, merged or deleted according to actual needs.

[0077] Unless otherwise defined, the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein are only for describing specific implementation purposes and are not intended to limit the present invention. The features described herein in one embodiment may be applied to another embodiment alone or in combination with other features, unless the feature is not applicable or otherwise specified in the other embodiment.
