[0033] The battery cell 2 is detachably connected to the top of the storage seat 3; a cooling cavity 21 is arranged around the outer periphery of the battery cell 2; an air hole 22 communicating with the top of the cooling cavity 21 is arranged at the bottom of one end of the battery cell 2; a liquid hole 23 communicating with the bottom of the cooling cavity 21 is arranged at the bottom of the other end of the battery cell 2.

[0034] Specifically, the energy storage battery with a cooling system described in this embodiment, when installing the battery cell 2 and the box body 1, first install the battery cell 2 on the top of the storage seat 3, so that the air hole 22 is connected with the air port 31, and the liquid hole 23 is connected with the liquid port 32;

[0035] Then, when the battery cell 2 is pressed downward, the first piston 4 moves downward and the second piston 5 moves upward, so that the gas in the cooling chamber 21 can be drawn into the sealed air chamber 41, and the coolant in the sealed liquid chamber 51 is injected into the cooling chamber 21, so that the battery cell 2 can be effectively cooled.

[0036] When the battery cell 2 is disassembled, the first piston 4 moves upward and the second piston 5 moves downward, so that the coolant in the cooling chamber 21 can be discharged into the sealed liquid chamber 51, and the gas in the sealed gas chamber 41 is injected into the cooling chamber 21, so that there is no coolant in the cooling chamber 21, thereby avoiding the leakage of coolant in the cooling chamber 21 during the disassembly of the battery cell.

[0037] In the energy storage battery with a cooling system described in this embodiment, an air pipe 24 is provided in the cooling cavity 21; the bottom of the air pipe 24 is communicated with the air hole 22; and the top of the air pipe 24 is provided at the top of the cooling cavity 21. Specifically, by providing the air pipe 24, after the battery cell 2 and the storage seat 3 are installed, the air port 31 of the storage seat 3 can be communicated with the top of the cooling cavity 21 through the air pipe 24, thereby preventing the coolant in the cooling cavity 21 from flowing into the sealed air cavity 41.

[0038] In the energy storage battery with a cooling system described in this embodiment, a reset spring 11 is provided between the bottom of the storage seat 3 and the bottom of the box body 1. The above arrangement facilitates the storage seat 3 to be reset.

[0039] In the energy storage battery with a cooling system described in this embodiment, the top of the box body 1 is detachably connected with a cover plate 12. The above arrangement can protect the battery cell 2.

[0040] In the energy storage battery with a cooling system described in this embodiment, a first inclined groove 61 and a second inclined groove 62 are provided on one side of the box body 1; the distance between the first inclined groove 61 and the second inclined groove 62 gradually increases from the bottom to the top of the box body 1; a guide seat 7 is provided on one side of the first piston 4; the guide seat 7 is provided with a third inclined groove 71 and a fourth inclined groove 72; from the bottom to the top of the guide seat 7, the distance between the third inclined groove 71 and the fourth inclined groove 72 gradually decreases; a first sliding pin 63 is movably provided between the first inclined groove 61 and the third inclined groove 71; a second sliding pin 64 is movably provided between the second inclined groove 62 and the fourth inclined groove 72.

Figure 6 As shown, under the action of the first sliding pin 63, the second sliding pin 64, the first inclined groove 61, the second inclined groove 62, the third inclined groove 71 and the fourth inclined groove 72, the first piston 4 moves upward relative to the storage seat 3, and the volume of the sealed air chamber 41 is smaller; at the same time, since the first piston 4 and the second piston 5 move synchronously in the opposite direction, the volume of the sealed liquid chamber 51 is larger, and coolant is stored in the sealed liquid chamber 51.

[0042] After the battery cell 2 is installed on the top of the storage seat 3, the air hole 22 is connected to the air port 31, and the liquid hole 23 is connected to the liquid port 32; at this time, the battery cell 2 is pressed down, so that the storage seat 3 is lowered until the bottom of the storage seat moving box 1 is reached, and then the cover plate 12 is closed to complete the installation of the battery cell 2, forming a Figure 5 State shown; during the descending process of the storage seat 3, under the action of the first sliding pin 63, the second sliding pin 64, the first inclined groove 61, the second inclined groove 62, the third inclined groove 71 and the fourth inclined groove 72, the first piston 4 gradually moves downward relative to the storage seat 3. At the same time, since the first piston 4 and the second piston 5 move synchronously in the opposite direction, the second piston 5 gradually moves upward relative to the storage seat 3, so that the gas in the cooling chamber 21 can be drawn into the sealed air chamber 41, and the coolant in the sealed liquid chamber 51 can be injected into the cooling chamber 21, so that the battery cell 2 can be effectively cooled.

[0043] When the battery cell 2 needs to be disassembled, the cover 12 is first opened. Under the action of the return spring 11, the first piston 4, the second piston 5 and the storage seat 3 are moved back to the top of the box body 1. During the movement of the storage seat 3, under the action of the first sliding pin 63, the second sliding pin 64, the first inclined groove 61, the second inclined groove 62, the third inclined groove 71 and the fourth inclined groove 72, the first piston 4 gradually moves upward relative to the storage seat 3. At the same time, since the first piston 4 and the second piston 5 move in opposite directions synchronously, the second piston 5 gradually moves downward relative to the storage seat 3, so that the coolant in the cooling chamber 21 can be discharged into the sealed liquid chamber 51, and the gas in the sealed gas chamber 41 is injected into the cooling chamber 21, so that there is no coolant in the cooling chamber 21, thereby avoiding the leakage of coolant in the cooling chamber 21 during the disassembly of the battery cell.

[0044] In the energy storage battery with a cooling system described in this embodiment, the other side of the box body 1 is provided with a limiting groove 81; the second piston 5 is provided with a limiting seat 82 that cooperates with the limiting groove 81. Specifically, the above arrangement enables the second piston 5 and the storage seat 3 to be stably raised and lowered.

The above arrangement makes the overall structure more stable and reliable.

Specifically, through the above arrangement, the first piston 4 and the second piston 5 can achieve synchronous reverse movement.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
