Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of energy storage, and in particular to an energy storage cabinet air conditioning unit and an energy storage cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Outdoor energy storage cabinets have problems with poor heat dissipation due to the large number of batteries installed and light radiation. Batteries in high temperature environments will reduce their service life, fail to charge normally, and even explode; low temperatures in winter will cause the battery to lose power, fail to charge and discharge normally, and reduce its service life.

[0003] There are two common types of energy storage air conditioning products on the market: air cooling and liquid cooling. Liquid cooling has gradually become the main means of energy storage temperature control. Most liquid cooling temperature control products are currently large in size and heavy in weight, making them difficult to repair, replace and move. The large size leads to high costs and large floor space, which squeezes the space for the batteries in the energy storage cabinet. At the same time, the liquid cooling energy storage temperature control products on the market have high energy consumption and low energy efficiency. While dissipating heat for batteries and PCS (energy storage converter), they also consume a lot of electricity, which is not in line with the current development trend of low-carbon energy conservation.

[0004] With the development of energy storage battery technology, high-capacity battery cells are gradually used, and the installed density of energy storage systems is gradually increasing. The requirements for the capabilities of temperature control products are increasing. The shortcomings of liquid-cooled temperature control products, such as slow heating and cooling rates, poor temperature uniformity of battery cells, low energy conversion efficiency, and high system costs, are becoming increasingly apparent.

[0005] Moreover, the bottom plate of the shell of the current liquid-cooled temperature control unit only serves as the bottom support and sealing function, and there is a risk of leakage in the water pump, pipe connections, etc. in the liquid-cooled temperature control unit. The coolant of the liquid-cooled temperature control system usually uses ethylene glycol. If leakage occurs, it will affect the working reliability of the unit. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0051] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0052] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of the present application, an energy storage cabinet is proposed, including a cabinet body 100, an air conditioning unit 200, a direct cooling plate 300 and a liquid cooling plate 400.

[0054] The cabinet 100 is generally a rectangular cabinet 100, and its internal space includes an air conditioning compartment 110 and a battery compartment 120, which are independent of each other, and the air conditioning compartment 110 is arranged on the side of the battery compartment 120. The cabinet 100 has a front opening and is equipped with a cabinet door 130 to open and close the energy storage cabinet.

[0055] The battery compartment 120 is used to accommodate at least a battery and a battery PCS. The battery is specifically an energy storage battery, which is arranged in the battery compartment 120 in the form of a battery PACK formed by a battery cluster package. The battery PCS is also arranged in the battery compartment 120.

[0056] The air conditioning compartment 110 is used to install the air conditioning unit 200. The air conditioning compartment 110 is connected from front to back so that the air conditioning unit 200 can return air and discharge air.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, the internal space of the cabinet 100 also includes a power supply compartment 140 for installing a power supply, and the air conditioning compartment 110 is located above the power supply compartment 140 .

[0058] The air conditioning unit 200 is installed in the air conditioning compartment 110, and is used to adjust the temperature of the energy storage cabinet and perform constant temperature management on the energy storage cabinet. It is mainly used to adjust the temperature of the batteries and battery PCS in the battery compartment 120, so that the batteries and battery PCS can operate within their respective ideal temperature ranges, avoiding the batteries and battery PCS from being too high or too low in temperature.

[0059] Reference Figures 4 to 6 The air-conditioning unit 200 of the energy storage cabinet has an outer contour of a flat rectangular parallelepiped with a small width dimension, and is placed in the air-conditioning compartment 110 in a vertical posture, including a shell 210, a direct cooling temperature control module, a liquid cooling temperature control module and an electrical box 220.

[0060] The outer contour of the shell 210 is a flat rectangular parallelepiped with a small width dimension. Its front side panel is provided with a return air port 211 and the rear side panel is provided with an air outlet. The air outlet includes an upper air outlet 212 and a lower air outlet 213 arranged in sequence along the height direction of the shell 210 to achieve front air return and rear air outlet.

[0061] The inner cavity of the shell 210 includes a first installation area 214 and a second installation area 215 which are arranged in sequence and connected along the front-to-back direction of the shell 210. The first installation area 214 is located at the front side of the second installation area 215 and is connected to the return air outlet 211; the second installation area 215 is divided into an upper installation area 215a and a lower installation area 215b which are arranged along the height direction of the shell 210. The upper installation area 215a and the lower installation area 215b are separated from each other by an air duct partition plate 216 fixed in the second installation area 215. The upper air outlet 212 corresponds to the upper installation area 215a, and the lower air outlet 213 corresponds to the lower installation area 215b.

[0062] The direct cooling temperature control module uses refrigerant phase change to perform heat exchange with the battery to achieve battery temperature regulation, and includes at least a compressor 230, a heat exchanger 250, and a heat regenerator 240. The compressor 230 is arranged in the first installation area 214, and the heat exchanger 250 is arranged in the lower installation area 215b.

[0063] The liquid cooling temperature control module uses coolant to perform heat exchange with the battery PCS to achieve battery PCS temperature regulation, and includes at least a water pump 260, an expansion tank 270 and a cooler 280, wherein the water pump 260 and the expansion tank 270 are arranged in the first installation area 214, and the cooler 280 is arranged in the upper installation area 215a.

[0064] The direct cooling plate 300 is arranged in the battery compartment 120 for heat exchange with the battery, and a refrigerant flow channel is formed inside the direct cooling plate 300. The compressor 230, the heat exchanger 250, the regenerator 240 and the direct cooling plate 300 are connected in sequence through pipelines to form a refrigerant circulation loop. Throttling devices are provided at the inlet and outlet of the direct cooling plate 300, respectively referred to as the first electronic expansion valve 500 and the second electronic expansion valve 600. The refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop flows through the direct cooling plate 300 to exchange heat with the battery.

[0065] The liquid cooling plate 400 is disposed in the battery compartment 120 for heat exchange with the battery PCS, and a cooling liquid flow channel is formed inside the liquid cooling plate 400. The water pump 260, the expansion tank 270, the cooler 280 and the liquid cooling plate 400 are connected to form a liquid circulation loop.

[0066] The return air port 211 is specifically arranged on the front side panel of the housing 210. The front side panel of the housing 210 is also provided with a direct cooling pipe interface 21100, a liquid cooling pipe interface 21110 and a junction box 21120 to facilitate wiring and pipe connection operations. The direct cooling pipe interface 21100 is located above the return air port 211, and the liquid cooling pipe interface 21110 and the junction box 21120 are located below the return air port 211 to fully utilize the space on the front side panel.

[0067] The energy storage cabinet air-conditioning unit 200 in some embodiments of the present application integrates the main structural components of the liquid cooling temperature control module and the direct cooling temperature control module into one, and divides the inner cavity of the shell 210 into zones, so as to reasonably install and arrange the structural components of the liquid cooling temperature control module and the direct cooling temperature control module, as well as the electric control box, so that the internal structure of the unit is compact; and the cooler 280 and the heat exchanger 250 with a larger height and volume are respectively arranged in the upper installation area 215a and the lower installation area 215b separated from each other, so as to form a vertical air-conditioning unit 200, and the height space of the second installation area 215 is fully utilized for installation, so as to reduce the horizontal and vertical space occupation; the compressor 230, the water pump 260, and the expansion tank 270 are reasonably arranged and installed in the first installation area 214, and the structure is compact, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the entire unit, so that the battery installation space in the energy storage cabinet in some embodiments of the present application is relatively increased, and the battery capacity of the energy storage cabinet can be increased.

[0068] The liquid cooling temperature control module and the direct cooling temperature control module are integrated in one air conditioning unit 200, which is convenient for disassembly or maintenance of the whole unit and is also conducive to simplifying the layout of the direct cooling pipeline and the liquid cooling pipeline.

[0069] For a conventional energy storage cabinet air conditioning unit, the bottom plate of the housing only serves as the bottom support and sealing function. However, for the energy storage cabinet air conditioning unit 200 in the embodiment of the present application, since it integrates a direct cooling temperature control system and a liquid cooling temperature control system, the coolant of the liquid cooling temperature control system usually uses ethylene glycol, and most of the structural parts of the liquid cooling temperature control system are in the upper installation area 215a of the second installation area 215, and there is a risk of leakage in the water pump 260 and pipeline connections in the unit. If leakage occurs, the working reliability of the unit will be affected.

[0070] To solve this problem, in some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to Fig. 20 and Fig.21 The bottom plate 21140 is in the shape of a rectangular disk that opens upward, and a drain nozzle 21141 is provided on one of the side walls of the bottom plate 21140 for connecting an external drain pipe to collect leaked liquid and discharge the leaked liquid to the outside of the energy storage cabinet.

[0071] A water pump installation position 21142, a compressor installation position 21143, a heat exchanger installation position 21144 and a direct cooling fan installation position 21145 are arranged at intervals on the bottom wall of the base plate 21140 in the front-to-back direction. The water pump installation position 21142, the compressor installation position 21143, the heat exchanger installation position 21144 and the direct cooling fan installation position 21145 all have a horizontal installation top plate, which correspond to the installation of the water pump 260, the compressor 230, the heat exchanger 250 and the direct cooling fan 2100 respectively. The height position of the horizontal installation top plate is higher than the height position of the drain nozzle 21141 to prevent the water pump 260, the compressor 230, the heat exchanger 250 and the direct cooling fan 2100 from contacting the accumulated water in the base plate 21140 as much as possible.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the drain nozzle 21141 is arranged on the front side wall of the bottom plate 21140 to facilitate opening the cabinet door 130 and connecting the drain pipe externally at the cabinet opening. The water pump installation position 21142, the compressor installation position 21143, the heat exchanger installation position 21144 and the direct cooling fan installation position 21145 are arranged in sequence from front to back. Accordingly, the water pump 260, the compressor 230, the heat exchanger 250 and the direct cooling fan 2100 are arranged in sequence from front to back to be fully and reasonably arranged on the bottom plate 21140 to ensure the stability of the center of gravity of the unit.

[0073] The water pump installation position 21142 and the compressor installation position 21143 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the bottom wall of the base plate 21140 to facilitate the piping design of the water and fluorine pipelines.

[0074] The heat exchanger installation position 21144 extends obliquely from the left side of the bottom wall of the bottom plate 21140 to the right side of the bottom wall of the bottom plate 21140, thereby realizing the inclined installation of the heat exchanger 250 to save space.

[0075] The heat exchanger 250 is configured such that after it is installed in place on the heat exchanger installation position 21144, the outlet pipe of the heat exchanger 250 is directed toward the location of the compressor 230 to facilitate pipeline connection.

[0076] The direct cooling heat dissipation fan installation position 21145 is close to the rear side wall of the base plate 21140, so that the installed direct cooling heat dissipation fan 2100 is close to the lower air outlet 213, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity.

[0077] The horizontal mounting top plate of the direct cooling fan installation position 21145 extends from the left side of the bottom wall of the base plate 21140 to the right side of the bottom wall of the base plate 21140, that is, the width of the horizontal mounting top plate of the direct cooling fan installation position 21145 is close to the width of the base plate 21140, so that the area of ​​the horizontal mounting top plate is as large as possible, and can fully isolate the direct cooling fan 2100 and the base plate 21140, that is, the overhead direct cooling fan, to ensure that if leakage accumulates in the base, the operation of the direct cooling fan 2100 will not blow the coolant in the base out of the unit and into the cabinet 100, causing liquid to enter the energy storage system.

[0078] Reference Fig. 22 , while combining Fig.21 The direct cooling fan installation position 21145 also includes a circumferential side plate that is bent downward relative to its horizontal installation top plate, and a part of the circumferential side plate, side plate A21145a, is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the bottom plate 21140, and another part of the side plate B21145b has a gap with the bottom wall of the bottom plate 21140, forming a liquid flow gap 21145c. That is, the lower part of the direct cooling fan installation position 21145 is an open design, so that the water leaking into the bottom plate 21140 can flow smoothly to the drain nozzle 21141 to avoid water accumulation inside.

[0079] like Fig. 22 As shown, among the circumferential side plates of the direct cooling fan installation position 21145, the height of one pair of opposite side plates, namely side plate A 21145a, is higher than the height of the other pair of opposite side plates, namely side plate B 21145b. Therefore, when the direct cooling fan installation position 21145 is installed on the base plate 21140, the above-mentioned liquid flow gap 21145c is formed between the pair of opposite side plates B 21145b with smaller height and the bottom wall of the base plate 21140, thereby realizing the lower open design of the direct cooling fan installation position 21145.

[0080] like Fig.23 As shown, the bottom edge of the side panel A21145a is formed with a horizontal flange folded outward, and the horizontal flange is fit and fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the bottom plate 21140.

[0081] like Fig. 22 As shown, the water pump mounting position 21142, the compressor mounting position 21143, and the heat exchanger mounting position 21144 are also formed by using bent plate-like parts fixed on the bottom wall of the base plate 21140, and their cross-sections are inverted U-shape. The two side edges of the inverted U-shape have horizontal flanges to fit with the bottom wall of the base plate 21140, thereby ensuring the installation stability of each mounting position.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, the height of the bottom plate 21140 is increased to 50-70 mm, compared with the traditional unit base height of 20-30 mm. By increasing the height of the bottom plate 21140, the design bearing space of the bottom plate 21140 can be increased, the waterproof drainage capacity can be ensured, and it is also beneficial to prevent external water from entering the unit through the base.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the surrounding side walls of the bottom plate 21140 are formed by bending the surrounding edges of the bottom wall of the bottom plate 21140 upwards, and the seams of the surrounding side walls of the bottom plate 21140 are fully welded to improve the sealing performance.

[0084] like Fig. 20 and Fig.21 As shown, the top edges of the surrounding side walls of the bottom plate 21140 are pressed inward to form an L-shaped bent edge 21146, and the front side plate, rear side plate, left side plate and right side plate of the shell 210 are respectively supported on the horizontal part of the L-shaped bent edge 21146, and the vertical part of the L-shaped bent edge 21146 is respectively fitted with the bottom of the inner wall of the front side plate, rear side plate, left side plate and right side plate of the shell 210. That is, the front side plate, rear side plate, left side plate and right side plate of the shell 210 are not directly fitted with the surrounding side walls of the bottom plate 21140, but are fitted by forming an L-shaped bent edge 21146, so that the fitting gap between the surrounding side walls of the bottom plate 21140 and the circumferential side plates of the shell 210 is L-shaped, which can effectively prevent the accumulated liquid in the bottom plate 21140 from flowing out through the fitting gap, causing the energy storage system to enter the coolant.

[0085] In the conventional junction box 21120 structure, the wiring plug 21130 is usually arranged horizontally, that is, the axis is horizontal, and a horizontal plug-in scheme is adopted. After the wiring is plugged in, the plug is exposed to the outside, and the unplugged connector is exposed to the outside, which may cause water ingress. To solve this problem, in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 8 , Figures 14 to 18 The junction box 21120 includes a box body 21121 and a plug mounting plate 21122. The box body 21121 is in the shape of a box with only the bottom open. The plug mounting plate 21122 is arranged inside the box body 21121 and is covered from above by the box body 21121. The box body 21121 acts as a waterproof cover to ensure the waterproof reliability of the wiring point.

[0086] A through portion is formed on the front side panel of the shell 210, and the junction box 21120 is inserted into the through portion, so that the box body 21121 is divided into a rear portion of the box body 21121 extending into the installation space of the shell 210 and a front portion of the box body 21121 exposed outside the front side of the front side panel. Correspondingly, the plug mounting plate 21122 is also divided into a rear portion of the plug mounting plate 21122 located in the installation space of the shell 210 and a front portion of the plug mounting plate 21122 located on the front side of the front side panel, so as to facilitate the wiring connection between the electrical components inside the shell 210 (such as the electrical box 220) and the junction box 21120, as well as the wiring connection between the junction box 21120 and the external electrical components of the unit (such as the power supply).

[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 14 to 18 As shown, the through-portion is a rectangular hole, and the horizontal cross-section of the box body 21121 is rectangular, which includes a top plate, two opposite vertical side plates and two opposite vertical end plates; the top plate includes a horizontal top plate portion and two inclined top plate portions located below the horizontal top plate portion on both sides, and the two inclined top plate portions connect the horizontal top plate portion and the two vertical side plates, so that the box body 21121 is approximately umbrella-shaped, which is effectively waterproof, water-conducting and dust-proof.

[0088] The four sides of the plug mounting plate 21122 are fitted with the inner wall of the box body 21121 to improve the sealing performance. A bent edge 2160 is formed on at least part of the sides of the plug mounting plate 21122 to increase the strength of the mounting plate. Installation and fixing holes are provided at the four corners of the plug mounting plate 21122 for installing and fixing the box body 21121. Corresponding horizontal flanges are formed on the inner wall of the box body 21121 and fixedly connected to the four corners of the mounting plate. The horizontal flanges can also play a limiting role in the installation of the plug mounting plate 21122.

[0089] The two vertical end plates of the box body 21121 are provided with mounting wing ears 21123. The junction box 21120 is installed on the front side plate of the shell 210 through the mounting wing ears 21123. The mounting wing ears 21123 are attached to the inner side surface of the front side plate to realize hidden installation.

[0090] The junction box 21120 is specifically located below the return air port 211 and above the bottom plate 21140 of the housing 210 to prevent water dripping therefrom from entering the return air port 211 .

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the wiring plug 21130 is installed on the front part of the plug mounting plate 21122 to facilitate wiring operations from outside the unit. The wiring plug 21130 uses an aviation waterproof plug to improve waterproof reliability.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, the plug mounting plate 21122 is arranged horizontally, and the wiring plug 21130 is arranged vertically downward to enable wiring to be plugged in the up and down directions, further ensuring waterproof reliability.

[0093] The plug mounting plate 21122 and the box body 21121 form a wiring space located above the plug mounting plate 21122. A threading hole 21122a is formed on the rear portion of the plug mounting plate 21122. The wiring plug 21130 is routed through the wiring space and the threading hole 21122a to the installation space in the shell 210, that is, through the internal upper space of the box body 21121 to the inside of the shell 210 to connect to the electrical box 220, further avoiding exposure of the circuit and improving waterproof reliability.

[0094] The height of the bottom plate of the electrical box 220 is higher than that of the junction box 21120 , and a threading hole 21122 a is formed on the bottom plate of the electrical box 220 to facilitate wiring connection with the junction box 21120 .

[0095] Reference Fig.19 For a flat rectangular air-conditioning unit 200 placed vertically, the front side plate of its shell 210 is rectangular, and the two opposite vertical sides are relatively long. In some embodiments of the present application, the two opposite vertical sides are respectively formed with a primary bending edge a bent backward by 90°, and the primary bending edge a also has a secondary bending edge b, which is parallel to the primary bending edge a; in the front-to-back direction, the secondary bending edge b is located at the rear side of the primary bending edge a, and in the left-to-right direction, the secondary bending edge b is located at the inner side of the primary bending edge a. That is, the front side plate of the shell 210 of the air-conditioning unit 200 is bent twice, which enhances the structural strength of the shell 210, and can also ensure the fit between the front side plate and the adjacent left and right side plates, and improve the sealing of the seam of the shell 210.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, the cooler 280 is tilted, the heat exchanger 250 is tilted, and the tilt directions of the cooler 280 and the heat exchanger 250 are consistent, which is also beneficial to reducing space occupancy and making the unit structure compact.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, reference Figures 5 to 7 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , Fig.12As shown, a liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 is also provided in the upper installation area 215a. The liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 is located on the rear side of the cooler 280 and close to the upper air outlet 212, and the air intake of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 faces the leeward side of the cooler 280; a direct-cooled heat dissipation fan 2100 is also provided in the lower installation area 215b. The direct-cooled heat dissipation fan 2100 is located on the rear side of the heat exchanger 250 and close to the lower air outlet 213, and the air intake of the direct-cooled heat dissipation fan 2100 faces the leeward side of the heat exchanger 250.

[0098] The liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 and the direct-cooled heat dissipation fan 2100 provide gas circulation power. Under the action of the heat dissipation fan, the external air enters the first installation area 214 through the return air port 211, and then under the action of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 and the direct-cooled heat dissipation fan 2100, it flows from the first installation area 214 through the upper installation area 215a, and from the first installation area 214 through the lower installation area 215b, and finally flows out from the upper air outlet 212 and the lower air outlet 213 respectively, taking away the heat on the cooler and the heat on the heat exchanger 250.

[0099] Since the second installation area 215 is connected to the first installation area 214, and the first installation area 214 is connected to the return air port 211, the upper installation area 215a and the lower installation area 215b are separated by the duct partition 216, so that the liquid cooling temperature control module and the direct cooling temperature control module share a return air space, and the air ducts are independent of each other to avoid mutual influence of wind fields, so that the batteries and battery PCS are within their respective appropriate temperature ranges.

[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 is installed in the upper installation area 215a through a liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan installation assembly; the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan installation assembly is fixed on the air duct partition 216, and includes a front liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan partition 2110 and a rear liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan bracket 2120, and a through portion is formed on the front liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan partition 2110, which is aligned with the suction end of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290, and the exhaust end of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 is connected to the rear liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan bracket 2120. The liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 and the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan installation assembly form a whole, which is convenient for overall disassembly, assembly and maintenance.

[0101] There are multiple direct cooling heat dissipation fans 2100, which are arranged in sequence up and down along the height direction of the shell 210 to improve the air circulation power. The figure shows two direct cooling heat dissipation fans 2100 as an example, but it is not limited to two.

[0102] Multiple direct cooling fans 2100 are fixedly installed using a direct cooling fan installation assembly, which is installed in the lower installation area 215b; and the direct cooling fan installation assembly is fixedly installed on the bottom plate 21140 of the housing 210 as a whole. The floor-standing installation can avoid deformation errors caused by long-term operation, and has good reliability and stability. Multiple direct cooling fans 2100 are installed in an integrated manner through the same direct cooling fan installation assembly, which is also convenient for disassembly, assembly and maintenance.

[0103] The direct cooling temperature control module corresponds to a multi-fan system, and the liquid cooling temperature control module corresponds to a single-fan system. The large number of fans greatly increases the air volume and improves the temperature control rate of the battery and PCS.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, the direct cooling fan installation assembly includes a front direct cooling fan baffle 2130 and a rear direct cooling fan bracket 2140. The front direct cooling fan baffle 2130 is formed with a through portion connected to the air suction ends of multiple direct cooling fans 2100 one by one, and the air discharge ends of multiple direct cooling fans 2100 are all connected to the rear direct cooling fan bracket 2140. The front liquid cooling fan baffle 2110 is vertically arranged, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the air duct baffle 216, and the top end is also fixedly connected to the top plate of the shell 210 to enhance the structural strength and stability.

[0105] The rear liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan bracket 2120 includes an upper horizontal support portion 2121, a lower horizontal support portion 2122 and a vertical support portion 2123. The upper horizontal support portion 2121 and the lower horizontal support portion 2122 are respectively fixedly connected to the top and bottom ends of the vertical support portion 2123, so that the rear liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan bracket 2120 is a U-shaped frame with its opening facing forward. The open end of the U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the front liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan partition 2110, so that the rear liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 and the front liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan partition 2110 can be firmly connected as a whole, thereby enhancing the structural strength and stability of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan installation assembly, thereby ensuring the working stability of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom end of the vertical support portion 2123 is fixed to the air duct partition 216 through a sheet metal reinforcement base 2124. The sheet metal reinforcement base 2124 provides additional support for the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290 and the rear liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan bracket 2120 to prevent the bracket from being deformed due to long-term operation of the liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan 290.

[0107] The sheet metal reinforcement base 2124 can be connected to the bottom end of the vertical support portion 2123 and the air duct partition 216 as a whole by welding.

[0108] Similarly, sheet metal reinforcements are also provided at both ends of the connection between the vertical support portion 2123 and the upper horizontal support portion 2121, and at both ends and four corners of the connection between the vertical support portion 2123 and the lower horizontal support portion 2122, so as to further improve the structural strength of the entire rear liquid cooling fan bracket 2120. The sheet metal reinforcements can be connected and fixed to the vertical support portion 2123, the upper horizontal support portion 2121, and the lower horizontal support portion 2122 by welding.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, air outlet avoidance holes 2150 are respectively formed on the upper horizontal support portion 2121, the vertical support portion 2123 and the lower horizontal support portion 2122. There are multiple air outlet avoidance holes 2150 on the vertical support portion 2123, which are distributed above and below the liquid cooling fan 290. The air outlet avoidance holes 2150 can reduce the air outlet resistance and ensure the air outlet space and air outlet volume.

[0110] In some embodiments of the present application, the rear liquid-cooling fan bracket 2120 is a metal component with an integrated structure, which further enhances its structural strength.

[0111] The upper horizontal support portion 2121 is formed with a bent edge 2160 bent upwardly at its periphery, the lower horizontal support portion 2122 is formed with a bent edge 2160 bent downwardly at its periphery, and the two opposite vertical sides of the vertical support portion 2123 are formed with bent edges 2160 bent backwardly. The bent edges 2160 can increase the support strength of the rear liquid cooling fan bracket 2120, and at the same time, the bent edges 2160 are not in the fan installation space surrounded by the front liquid cooling fan partition 2110 and the rear liquid cooling fan bracket 2120, which can reduce wind resistance and help improve the wind field.

[0112] The front liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan partition 2110 is an integrated structure, and a bent edge 2160 is formed forwardly bent around its periphery. Similarly, its bent edge 2160 can enhance the supporting strength of the front liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan partition 2110, and its bent edge 2160 is not in the fan installation space surrounded by the front liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan partition 2110 and the rear liquid-cooled heat dissipation fan bracket 2120, which can reduce wind resistance and help improve the wind field.

The horizontal fixing portion 2131 is specifically in the shape of a horizontal plate, which is fitted and fixed to the bottom surface of the air duct partition 216, has a large support surface, and has high support strength. The periphery of the horizontal fixing portion 2131 is formed with a bent edge 2160 that is bent downward, which further enhances the support strength of the horizontal fixing portion 2131 and the installation stability of the front direct cooling heat dissipation fan partition 2130.

[0114] The rear direct cooling heat dissipation fan bracket 2140 is vertically arranged, with its bottom end fixedly connected to the bottom plate 21140 of the shell 210, and its top end fixedly connected to the corresponding side bending edge 2160 of the horizontal fixing part 2131.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, the front direct cooling fan baffle 2130 is an integrated structure, and two opposite vertical sides thereof are formed with bent edges 2160 bent forward; the rear direct cooling fan bracket 2140 is an integrated structure, and its periphery is formed with bent edges 2160 bent backward. The bent edges 2160 can enhance the structural strength of the front direct cooling fan baffle 2130 and the rear direct cooling fan bracket 2140, and the bent edges 2160 are not in the installation space of the direct cooling fan 2100 surrounded by the front direct cooling fan baffle 2130 and the rear direct cooling fan bracket 2140, which can reduce wind resistance and help improve the wind field.

[0116] A plurality of air outlet avoidance holes 2150 are also formed on the rear direct cooling heat dissipation fan bracket 2140, which are distributed above the top direct cooling heat dissipation fan 2100, below the bottom direct cooling heat dissipation fan 2100, and between two adjacent direct cooling heat dissipation fans 2100. The air outlet avoidance holes 2150 can prevent the air outlet of the direct cooling heat dissipation fan 2100 from being affected by the installation components of the direct cooling heat dissipation fan 2100. The air outlet avoidance holes 2150 and the fan installation position are spaced apart to maximize the size of the avoidance holes and increase the air volume.

[0117] The periphery of the wind outlet avoidance hole 2150 may also be provided with a bent edge that bends outward to enhance the structural strength while reducing wind resistance and improving the wind field.

The liquid cooling temperature control system also includes an electromagnetic water valve 1400, which is connected between the water pump 260 and the outlet of the air cooler through a pipeline. Specifically, one end of the pipeline is connected to the pipeline between the water flow regulating valve 1300 and the coolant electric heater 1200, and the other end is connected between the outlet of the air cooler and the inlet of the liquid cooling plate 400.

[0142] When the battery temperature is too high, the refrigerant is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas by the compressor 230, and returns oil through the oil separator 1700, the filter 1800, and the oil return capillary 1900, and passes through the four-way valve 700 to the heat exchanger 250, and condenses and dissipates heat through the DC cooling fan 2100 to become a medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and enters the first channel of the regenerator 240. After further supercooling through the regenerator 240, it enters the multiple direct cooling parallel branches 1500, and the first electronic expansion valve 500 at the inlet of the direct cooling plate 300 is fully opened, and heat is exchanged through the direct cooling plate 300 to cool the battery; then it is throttled into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant through the second electronic expansion valve 600 at the outlet of the direct cooling plate 300, enters the second channel of the regenerator 240, is superheated into a gaseous refrigerant through the regenerator 240, and returns to the compressor 230 through the liquid storage tank 11000 to complete the refrigeration cycle.

[0143] When the battery temperature is too low, the refrigerant is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure gas by the compressor 230, and returns the oil through the oil separator 1700, the filter 1800, and the oil return capillary 1900; the four-way valve 700 is powered on and reversed, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant enters the second channel of the regenerator 240, passes through the regenerator 240, and reaches the second electronic expansion valve 600. The second electronic expansion valve 600 is fully opened, and the high-temperature refrigerant heats the battery in the direct cooling plate 300, and then reaches the first electronic expansion valve 500 to throttle into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant, enters the first channel of the regenerator 240, passes through the regenerator 240, evaporates in the heat exchanger 250, and returns to the compressor 230 through the liquid storage tank 11000 to complete the heating cycle.

[0144] When the temperature of the PCS is too high, the electromagnetic water valve 1400 is closed and the water flow regulating valve 1300 is opened, the circulating water pump 260 sends the coolant to the air cooler, and the liquid cooling fan 290 is turned on to allow the high-temperature coolant to exchange heat with the air, and the coolant is then sent to the liquid cooling plate 400 to cool the PCS.

[0145] When the temperature of the PCS is too low, the electromagnetic water valve 1400 is opened, the water flow regulating valve 1300 is closed, and the coolant no longer enters the air cooler for cooling. According to the temperatures measured by the first liquid cooling temperature sensor 1000 and the second liquid cooling temperature sensor 1100, it is determined to turn on the coolant electric heater 1200 to heat the coolant, and then send it to the liquid cooling plate 400 to heat the PCS.

[0146] When the coolant electric heater 1200 is turned on, the electromagnetic water valve 1400 is opened, and the coolant temperature can be controlled by opening the water flow regulating valve 1300 and controlling the flow of the water flow regulating valve 1300. When the coolant return water temperature is high, the water flow regulating valve 1300 is opened wide, and the coolant is assisted by the air cooler to dissipate heat and cool down to reach the appropriate heating temperature required by the PCS.

[0147] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by technicians familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
