The first phase change heat absorption plate 422 and the second phase change heat absorption plate 431 can fully absorb the heat generated by the energy storage unit 421 during operation, thereby preventing the energy storage unit 421 from thermal runaway.
[0073] When the battery pack 400 is in thermal runaway due to overload or short circuit, the first phase change heat absorption plate 422 and the second phase change heat absorption plate can still fully absorb the heat generated by the energy storage unit 421. Moreover, after the first phase change heat absorption plate 422 and the second phase change heat absorption plate 431 absorb too much heat and change phase, the first heat insulation plate and the second heat insulation plate can prevent the thermal runaway from being transferred from the energy storage unit 421 to another energy storage unit 421, thereby preventing the spread of thermal runaway. This improves the safety and reliability of the battery pack 400 and protects people's lives and property.
[0074] When the gas in the energy storage unit 421 is released into the working chamber 414 due to thermal runaway, the pressure relief valve 440 is opened, so that the gas released in the energy storage unit 421 can be discharged to the outside through the pressure relief valve 440, the pack-level pressure relief pipe 220, and the cluster-level pressure relief pipe 210 in sequence, so as to further reduce the risk of fire and explosion of the battery pack 400 due to thermal runaway, and improve the safety and reliability of the mobile energy storage container.
[0075] In the present application, when the battery pack 400 is in thermal runaway due to a short circuit or overload, the gas in the energy storage unit 421 will be released into the battery pack 400. At this time, the pressure relief valve 440 will open, and the gas in the battery pack 400 will be released to the outside of the mobile energy storage container through the pack-level pressure relief pipe 220 and the cluster-level pressure relief pipe 210. This can effectively reduce the risk of flammable gas in the energy storage unit 421 catching fire or exploding when the temperature is too high, thereby effectively protecting the mobile energy storage container and the environment and personnel safety around the mobile energy storage container.
[0076] The utility model also provides a mobile energy storage vehicle, which comprises: a vehicle body and any one of the above mobile energy storage containers. The mobile energy storage container is arranged on the vehicle body. The mobile energy storage container is detachably connected to the vehicle body.
[0077] During normal use of the mobile energy storage vehicle, the mobile energy storage container is placed and connected to the vehicle body, and it generally moves and works as a whole, so as to improve the movement and working efficiency of the mobile energy storage vehicle.
[0078] Although the present application has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary, rather than restrictive. Since the present application can be implemented in a variety of forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the utility model, it should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments are not limited to any of the aforementioned details, but should be widely interpreted within the spirit and scope defined by the attached claims, so all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the attached claims.
