Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of energy storage containers, and in particular to a battery pack clustering and rework tooling applied to energy storage containers. Background Art
[0002] With the development of renewable energy and energy storage technology, outdoor energy storage container technology has become increasingly mature and has been widely used in power systems to balance power supply and demand. However, with the continuous upgrading of energy storage systems and the iteration of technology, existing energy storage container systems face a series of problems and challenges, especially in terms of battery pack maintenance.
[0003] First, as products are updated, the battery packs inside the energy storage container need to be regularly updated to ensure the performance and efficiency of the system. This update not only involves the installation of new battery packs, but also needs to consider compatibility and matching with the existing system. The traditional battery pack update method usually requires the container to be shipped back to the factory for processing, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also cause the system to shut down for a long time, affecting the normal operation of the energy storage system.
[0004] Secondly, as time goes by, old container plug-ins will also have some anomalies to a greater or lesser extent. For example, the battery pack may age, degrade in electrical performance, or even fail due to the increase in service life. These anomalies need to be repaired and replaced in a timely manner to ensure the safe and stable operation of the energy storage system.
[0005] However, the existing energy storage container cluster repair equipment is usually unable to adapt to the after-sales on-site needs of different customers. Each customer's energy storage system configuration and usage environment are different, which makes it difficult for unified automation equipment to meet diverse on-site needs. Therefore, how to efficiently and safely solve battery pack updates or abnormal problems at the customer site has become an important issue that needs to be solved in energy storage system maintenance.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The following will be combined with the implementation of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the implementation of the utility model. Obviously, the described implementation is only a part of the implementation of the utility model, not all of the implementations. Based on the implementation of the utility model, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, combined Figure 2 and 3 The utility model discloses a battery pack cluster repair tool used in an energy storage container, comprising a guide mechanism 1, a lifting platform 2 and a conveying mechanism 3.
[0037] The guide mechanism 1 includes a base 11, a leveler 12 and a guide rod 13. The base 11 serves as the foundation of the entire tooling and provides a stable support. The leveler 12 is evenly arranged on the bottom surface of the base 11 to adjust the levelness of the base 11 to ensure that the tooling can work stably on an uneven ground. In this embodiment, the leveler 12 is located at the four corners of the base 11. A plurality of guide rods 13 are provided, which are evenly and vertically fixed above the base 11 to provide guidance for the lifting platform 2 to ensure that it moves up and down smoothly.
[0038] The lifting platform 2 is arranged on the base 11, and is used to carry the conveying mechanism 3, and is translated up and down through the guide rod 13. The lifting platform 2 can adjust the height as needed to adapt to the battery packs of different levels in the energy storage container. In this embodiment, the lifting of the lifting platform 2 is performed by lifting the lifting platform 2 by a crane, thereby adjusting the height up and down along the guide rod 13, so that the conveying mechanism 3 corresponds to the battery packs of different levels in the energy storage container.
[0039] The conveying mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31, a push-pull device 32 and a driving device 33. The support frame 31 is arranged on the lifting platform 2 to carry the battery pack and ensure its stability. The push-pull device 32 is slidably arranged on the support frame 31 to push and pull the battery pack to facilitate the installation and removal of the battery pack. The driving device 33 is arranged on the support frame 31 to drive the push-pull device 32 to move horizontally on the support frame 31 to achieve accurate positioning and operation of the battery pack.
[0040] The utility model can adjust the levelness of the base 11 to ensure the overall stability of the tooling when the ground is uneven by setting the leveler 12. The guide rod 13 provides a track for the lifting platform 2 to move up and down smoothly, avoiding the problem of unstable lifting due to uneven ground. The adjustable height design of the lifting platform 2 can adapt to the operating requirements of battery packs at different levels in the energy storage container, reduce the operational difficulties caused by height mismatch, and improve work efficiency. The push-pull device 32 and the drive device 33 in the conveying mechanism 3 can perform precise push-pull operations on the battery pack through the horizontal movement of the support frame 31, ensure the accurate alignment of the battery pack during the insertion process, and reduce errors and risks during operation.
[0041] The battery pack clustering and repair tool disclosed in this embodiment provides a flexible and reliable solution to the on-site maintenance needs of energy storage containers. It can quickly and efficiently cluster or repair battery packs at the customer site, significantly improving the efficiency and safety of on-site maintenance of energy storage systems.
[0042] In order to enable the conveying mechanism 3 to move up and down on the lifting platform 2 stably and reliably. In this example, a plurality of positioning slots 21 are opened on the lifting platform 2, and a first positioning member 311 that cooperates with the positioning slot 21 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the support frame 31. Ensure that the support frame 31 can be accurately positioned on the lifting platform 2. This can avoid the problem of inaccurate insertion of the battery pack due to the position offset of the support frame 31, and improve the accuracy of the operation. The cooperation between the positioning slot 21 and the first positioning member 311 enables the support frame 31 to be firmly fixed on the lifting platform 2, preventing the support frame 31 from being displaced or shaken when pushing and pulling the battery pack, thereby enhancing the overall stability of the tooling.
[0043] In addition, the design of multiple positioning grooves 21 makes the installation process of the support frame 31 easier. It only needs to align the first positioning member 311 with the positioning groove 21 to quickly install it in place, which reduces the installation time and improves work efficiency.
[0044] As some preferred embodiments, the conveying mechanism 3 further includes a plurality of rollers 34 rotatably arranged on the support frame 31, and the rotation direction of the plurality of rollers 34 is the same as the movement direction of the push-pull device 32. The arrangement of the rollers 34 enables the battery pack to move smoothly during the conveying process, and the synergy with the push-pull device 32 ensures the smoothness and efficiency of the operation. The rotation of the rollers 34 reduces the friction resistance of the battery pack during the push-pull process, reduces the energy consumption of the operation, and ensures the safety and stability of the battery pack.
[0045] This embodiment shows a preferred structural mode of the push-pull device 32 . Specifically, the push-pull device 32 includes a mounting plate 321 , a pushing component 322 and a pulling component 323 .
[0046] The mounting plate 321 is horizontally slidably disposed on the support frame 31 and serves as a basis for the push-pull device 32 .
[0047] The pushing assembly 322 includes a push rod 3221, a push plate 3222 and an elastic member 3223. Two push rods 3221 are arranged in parallel. One end of the push rod 3221 is horizontally fixedly connected to the mounting plate 321, and the other end extends out of the mounting plate 321. The length direction of the push rod 3221 is parallel to the moving direction of the push-pull device 32. Both ends of the push plate 3222 are vertically connected to the push rod 3221 through the elastic member 3223. The cooperation between the push rod 3221 and the push plate 3222 and the use of the elastic member 3223 make the pushing operation more stable and controlled. The elastic member 3223 can absorb the vibration and impact force in the pushing operation, protect the battery pack and the equipment, and improve the safety of the operation.
[0048] The pulling assembly 323 is symmetrically arranged with two groups located on both sides of the pushing assembly 322. The pulling assembly 323 includes a pulling rope 3231 and a pull ring 3232. One end of the pulling rope 3231 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 321, and the other end is connected to the pull ring 3232. The pull ring 3232 can be detachably connected to the battery pack. The pulling rope 3231 and the pull ring 3232 cooperate to provide pulling force for the battery pack, so that the battery pack is pulled out of the energy storage container and transitioned to the support frame 31. At the same time, the battery pack can be limited by the push plate 3222.
[0049] This embodiment shows a preferred implementation of the driving device 33. Specifically, the driving device 33 includes a screw 331, a reducer 332, a handwheel 333 and a screw nut 334. The screw 331 is rotatably set on the support frame 31, and the length direction of the screw 331 is parallel to the moving direction of the push-pull device 32. The handwheel 333 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 331 through the reducer 332, and the mounting plate 321 is connected to the screw 331 through the screw nut 334.
[0050] When the conveying mechanism 3 moves to the battery pack level corresponding to the energy storage container under the action of the lifting platform 2, the manual rotation of the handwheel 333 is transmitted to the screw 331 through the reducer 332, realizing precise control of the push-pull device 32. The operation is simple and does not require a complex electrical control system. The manual operation of the handwheel 333 avoids the risk of electrical failure, which is more reliable and safe, especially in the field or when there is no power supply. The reducer 332 converts the rapid rotation of the handwheel 333 into a slow and powerful rotation of the screw 331, providing greater push-pull force and more precise control, ensuring the stability and reliability of the operation. The mounting plate 321 is fixed to the screw 331 by the screw nut 334. As the screw 331 rotates, the mounting plate 321 can move smoothly along the support frame 31 to realize the push-pull operation of the battery pack.
[0051] As some preferred embodiments, guide limit plates 35 are fixedly provided on the support frames 31 on both sides of the length direction of the roller 34, thereby preventing the battery pack from shifting during transportation, ensuring that the battery pack can be accurately inserted into or pulled out of the energy storage container through the conveying mechanism 3, thereby realizing the clustering or repair of the battery pack.
[0052] Preferably, the four corners of the lifting platform 2 are fixedly provided with guide sleeves 22, and the guide sleeves 22 are slidably sleeved on the guide rods 13. With this arrangement, when the battery pack is updated or repaired outdoors, the lifting platform 2 can be directly sleeved on the guide rods 13 through the guide sleeves 22 to achieve the connection between the lifting platform 2 and the base 11, so as to facilitate and quickly assemble the tooling. The four corners of the base 11 are fixedly connected with the second positioning member 111, and the lower end of the guide rod 13 is detachably connected to the second positioning member 111. With this arrangement, when assembling the base 11, the lower ends of the four guide rods 13 can be quickly inserted into the second positioning member 111 through the second positioning member 111 to complete the assembly of the base 11. Each component is easy to disassemble, and it is also convenient for manual operation when after-sales tools are scarce.
[0053] Preferably, a plurality of mounting members 112 are provided on the base 11, and the mounting members 112 are used to load the counterweight. After the entire base 11 is installed and leveled on the outdoor bottom surface, the counterweight is installed on the mounting members 112, which can ensure that the base 11 is stably and reliably fixed on the bottom surface, and avoid the base 11 from shaking during the movement of the lifting platform 2 or the operation of the conveying mechanism 3, thereby ensuring the operational stability and reliability of the entire tooling.
[0054] In this embodiment, a plurality of lifting parts S are fixedly arranged on the support frame 31, the lifting platform 2 and the base 11, and the lifting parts S are used to connect with the crane. With the above-mentioned structural setting, the support frame 31, the lifting platform 2 and the base 11 can be lifted by the crane respectively, so that the assembly of the whole tooling can be completed more conveniently. At the same time, during the use of the tooling, the lifting platform 2 is driven by the crane to lift the conveying mechanism 3 and move it up and down along the guide rod 13, so that the conveying mechanism 3 corresponds to each layer of the battery pack of the energy storage container, which is convenient for clustering or repair.
[0055] As some other embodiments, a forklift slot 36 is detachably provided on the support frame 31. With this arrangement, when the outdoor bottom surface is a flat bottom surface, it is not necessary to build the base 11 and the lifting platform 2, and the forklift slot 36 can be directly installed on the bottom surface of the support frame 31. The forklift arm is inserted into the forklift slot 36, so that the translation and lifting of the conveying mechanism 3 can be realized, which is convenient and flexible. When the bottom surface is uneven, the base 11 and the lifting platform 2 can be built, so that the tooling can meet the clustering or repair operations of the battery pack under different outdoor working conditions.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
