DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0025] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an energy storage cabinet includes a cabinet body 100, an air conditioning component 200 and a drainage component.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an energy storage cabinet comprises:
[0028] The cabinet 100 includes a plurality of cabinet panels 110, and the plurality of cabinet panels 110 are surrounded to form a receiving cavity 120;
[0029] An air conditioning assembly 200, which is detachably mounted on a cabinet panel 110 and is located in the accommodating cavity 120, and has a drainage hole;
[0030] The drainage assembly includes a drainage pipe 300 built into the cabinet panel 110, and a flow guide structure 400 between the drainage pipe 300 and the drainage hole, and the medium discharged from the drainage hole can be collected into the drainage pipe 300 after passing through the flow guide structure 400, and then discharged from the drainage pipe 300. The design of the built-in drainage pipe 300 and the flow guide structure 400 significantly reduces the need for an external drainage pipe 300, which not only improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the cabinet 100, but also makes the drainage process more concealed, further beautifying the external appearance of the energy storage cabinet.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cabinet 100 is rectangular, surrounded and spliced by a plurality of cabinet panels 110 , and forms a receiving cavity 120 for accommodating batteries, electrical equipment and air conditioning components 200 .
[0032] In order to ensure a suitable working temperature inside the energy storage cabinet, in this embodiment, an air conditioning component 200 for adjusting the temperature inside the energy storage cabinet is provided. The air conditioning component 200 is detachably mounted on a cabinet panel 110 and is located in the accommodating cavity 120, which not only makes effective use of the internal space of the accommodating cavity 120, but also reduces the occupation of the external space of the energy storage cabinet, while ensuring the beauty and simplicity of the exterior of the energy storage cabinet.
[0033] In this embodiment, the air conditioning assembly 200 includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, both of which have drainage holes. Preferably, the drainage holes are a second drainage hole 220 provided at the bottom of the indoor unit for draining condensed water, and a first drainage hole 210 provided at the bottom of the outdoor unit for draining rainwater entering the outdoor unit from the outside. There is a gap between the first drainage hole 210 and the second drainage hole 220 to meet the drainage requirements under different working conditions. And the first drainage hole 210 is provided with a plurality of holes, which effectively improves the drainage efficiency.
[0034] In this embodiment, the external unit is further provided with an exhaust port 230 for discharging hot air inside the energy storage cabinet.
[0035] In order to realize concealed drainage of the air conditioning assembly 200, in this embodiment, the drainage assembly includes a drainage pipe 300 built into the cabinet board 110 on which the air conditioning assembly 200 is installed, and a flow guide structure 400 between the drainage pipe 300 and the drainage hole. The drainage pipe 300 is a hollow rectangular steel pipe, including a water inlet 310 connected to the flow guide structure 400, and a water outlet 320 connected to the outside, so that the medium discharged from the drainage hole first passes through the flow guide structure 400 and then flows into the drainage pipe 300, and is discharged from the drainage pipe 300. Since the drainage pipe 300 and the flow guide structure 400 are both built into the energy storage cabinet, not only the external space is effectively saved and the utilization rate of the internal space of the energy storage cabinet is improved, but also the appearance neatness and overall aesthetics of the cabinet 100 are significantly enhanced, which conforms to the trend of modern aesthetics and integrated design.
[0036] In this embodiment, the cabinet panel 110 includes a rectangular inner panel 111 and an outer panel 112, and there is a accommodating space between the inner panel 111 and the outer panel 112, wherein the air-conditioning component 200 is detachably mounted on the inner panel 111, the drain pipe 300 is arranged in the accommodating space and extends along the length direction of the inner panel 111 and the outer panel 112, and the outer panel 112 is also provided with an exhaust net 113 arranged opposite to the exhaust port 230, and the exhaust net 113 is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes arranged in a rectangular array, which effectively guides the discharge of hot air from the air-conditioning component 200 while ensuring the smooth drainage of the air-conditioning component 200, and forms a double-layer protection for the internal components, thereby ensuring good heat dissipation performance and system safety.
[0037] In this embodiment, the guide structure 400 includes a conduit 410 connected to the drain pipe 300, and a first guide plate 420 located below the drain hole. The length of the conduit 410 is adapted to the length of the first guide plate 420 to ensure that the medium passing through the first guide plate 420 can all flow to the conduit 410; the first guide plate 420 has an inclined portion 421 inclined and extending toward the conduit 410 to guide the flow direction of the medium on the first guide plate 420. When the medium is discharged from the drain hole, it flows to the conduit 410 through the inclined portion 421, and is discharged after being merged into the drain pipe 300 through the conduit 410. The design of the inclined portion 421 can not only guide the flow direction of the medium, but also ensure the smooth and efficient discharge of the medium, and prevent blockage during the drainage process.
[0038] In this embodiment, the manifold 410 includes a connection portion 411 connected to the drain pipe 300, and a first extension portion 412 and a second extension portion 413 respectively provided at both ends of the connection portion 411 and extending obliquely in a direction away from the drain pipe 300, and the connection portion 411 has a notch 414 connected to the drain pipe 300. Preferably, the notch 414 is U-shaped, which is connected to the water inlet 310, and the diameter of the notch 414 is smaller than the diameter of the water inlet 310, so that the medium on the manifold 410 can smoothly flow into the drain pipe 300, ensuring the smoothness of the medium discharge.
[0039] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first extension portion 412 and the second extension portion 413 are arranged and extended in a V-shape to guide the flow direction of the medium on the conduit 410, and enable the medium on the first extension portion 412 and the second extension portion 413 to flow smoothly and efficiently into the drain pipe 300 through the notch 414.
[0040] Preferably, in this embodiment, the first extension portion 412 and the second extension portion 413 are further provided with a bent edge on one side facing the outer panel 112, and the bent edge is fitly connected to the inner wall of the outer panel 112 to ensure the airtightness of the connection between the first extension portion 412 and the second extension portion 413 and the outer panel 112 to avoid water leakage.
[0041] In this embodiment, the first guide plate 420 is arranged below the first drainage hole 210, and the inclined portion 421 is further provided with a reinforcing portion 423 connected thereto in a direction away from the drainage pipe 300, the reinforcing portion 423 is fitted with the bottom of the air conditioning assembly 200, and the reinforcing portion 423 is provided with a through hole 424 connected to the second drainage hole 220, and the size of the through hole 424 is suitable for the size of the second drain hole 220. The design of the reinforcing portion 423 enlarges the contact area between the first guide plate 420 and the air conditioning assembly 200, thereby enlarging the contact surface between the guide structure 400 as a whole and the air conditioning assembly 200, effectively ensuring the reliability of the connection between the two. The design of the through hole 424 ensures that the medium in the second drainage hole 220 can flow smoothly to the second guide plate 430, thereby ensuring effective drainage.
[0042] In this embodiment, the side of the inclined portion 421 away from the reinforcing portion 423 abuts against the bent portion 431 of the second guide plate 430 to support the air conditioning assembly 200 above the reinforcing portion 423, effectively enhancing the connection stability between the air conditioning assembly 200 and the cabinet plate 110 and improving the durability of the overall structure. In addition, a plurality of U-shaped water channels 422 for the medium to pass through are provided on the inclined portion 421, so that the medium on the second guide plate 430 can flow smoothly to the confluence plate 410.
[0043] It is worth noting that the inclined portion 421 may or may not abut against the bending portion 431 . When the inclined portion 421 does not abut against the bending portion 431 , the design of the water channel 422 may be removed.
[0044] In this embodiment, the guide structure 400 further includes a second guide plate 430 disposed below the second drainage hole 220, the second guide plate 430 is inclined and extended toward the direction of the confluence plate 410, and there is a gap between the second guide plate 430 and the second guide plate 430; wherein the medium discharged from the first drainage hole 210 can flow to the confluence plate 410 through the first guide plate 420, and then be discharged after being merged into the drainage pipe 300 through the confluence plate 410, and the medium discharged from the second drainage hole 220 can flow to the confluence plate 410 through the second guide plate 430, and then be discharged after being merged into the drainage pipe 300 through the confluence plate 410. Through the separate design of the first guide plate 420 and the second guide plate 430, the drainage flow is effectively dispersed, the drainage speed is accelerated, and the pressure accumulation and potential poor drainage problems that may be generated at a single drainage point are avoided.
[0045] In this embodiment, the second guide plate 430 is provided with a bent portion 431 near the direction of the convergence plate 410. The bent portion 431 extends vertically toward the direction close to the drain pipe 300 and fits with the side wall of the first extension portion 412 and the second extension portion 413 away from the outer plate 112, thereby preventing water on the second guide plate 430 from flowing outside the convergence plate 410 and causing the risk of water leakage or electric leakage to the batteries and electrical components inside the energy storage cabinet.
[0046] In order to further reduce the risk of water leakage of the drainage assembly, in this embodiment, the outer plate 112 is arranged opposite to the bent portion 431, is connected to the first extension portion 412 and the second extension portion 413, and cooperates with the bent portion 431 and the manifold 410 to form a funnel structure with only upper and lower ends open, and the inclined portion 421 extends into the funnel structure through the upper end opening. On the one hand, the sealing between the structures is strengthened, effectively reducing the risk of water leakage, and on the other hand, the funnel-shaped design further promotes the concentration and acceleration of drainage, improving the overall drainage efficiency and the streamlined beauty of the appearance.
[0047] In this embodiment, the guide structure 400 also includes a mounting plate 440, which is L-shaped and includes a fixing portion 441 detachably connected to the air conditioning assembly 200, and a load-bearing portion 442 vertically connected to the fixing portion 441, which does not extend away from the fixing portion 441, and abuts against the first extension portion 412 and the second extension portion 413. The load-bearing portion 442 of the mounting plate 440 is designed to not only bear part of the weight of the air conditioning assembly 200, but also closely abuts against the first extension portion 412 and the second extension portion 413 to form a stable support system. This structural design effectively disperses the vibration and gravity load generated when the air conditioner is running, avoids structural deformation or damage that may be caused by long-term use, and enhances the stability and durability of the entire energy storage cabinet.
