[0002] In the field of energy storage, the liquid-cooled energy storage system is an efficient and reliable energy storage and release system. Compared with the traditional air-cooled energy storage system, the liquid-cooled energy storage system has a higher energy density and more large battery clusters. The liquid cooling system can more easily ensure that each cluster of batteries works at a comfortable temperature, which can extend the battery life compared to the air-cooled system. The comprehensive cost of liquid cooling is low during the life cycle, and as the number of liquid cooling suppliers increases and the iteration and upgrade of liquid cooling accelerates, its supply chain cost will be lower. In the long run, the investment cost of liquid cooling will not be higher than that of air cooling. The liquid-cooled PACK package is an important component of the liquid-cooled energy storage system. It is composed of multiple battery cells in series, and the bottom of the liquid-cooled PACK package is a liquid cooling plate. Through the design and control of the liquid cooling system, precise temperature management of each battery cell can be achieved, thereby improving the stability and safety of the energy storage system.

[0003] With the development demand of increasing integration of liquid cooling system, the integration of liquid cooling battery pack is also gradually increasing, which leads to the gradual increase of volume and mass of liquid cooling battery pack. The liquid cooling plate at the bottom of liquid cooling PACK is relatively weak. During the installation of liquid cooling PACK, professional installation tools are required to ensure the correct placement and fixation of battery pack. If improperly installed, the battery pack or liquid cooling plate may be damaged, resulting in short circuit, leakage and other problems of battery cells, and even damage to the entire energy storage system.

[0004] There are some problems with the installation of existing liquid-cooled PACK packages, such as compact installation space, complex operation, low installation efficiency, and inability to adapt to PACK packages of different sizes. In order to reserve installation space, part of the volume density must be sacrificed. These problems limit the development of the integration rate of liquid-cooled energy storage systems.
