[0026] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, the present utility model provides an energy storage device, which includes: a device body 1, a locking mechanism 2, a detection component 3 and a controller. Among them, the locking mechanism 2 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism 2 is in the locked state, the locking mechanism 2 locks the device body 1 on the installation base 10. When the locking mechanism 2 is in the unlocked state, the device body 1 is separable from the installation base 10; the detection component 3 is used to detect whether the device body 1 is installed on the installation base 10; both the locking mechanism 2 and the detection component 3 are electrically connected to the controller, and the controller controls the locking mechanism 2 to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state according to the detection result of the detection component 3.

[0028] For the energy storage device designed with this structure, a locking mechanism 2, a detection component 3 and a controller are designed. The detection component 3 can detect whether the device body 1 is installed on the installation base 10, and the controller controls the locking mechanism 2 to lock or unlock according to the detection result of the detection component 3. Therefore, the energy storage device designed with this structure can automatically perform the locking operation according to the installation situation of the device body 1. For example, when the detection component 3 detects that the device body 1 is installed on the installation base 10, the controller controls the locking mechanism 2 to switch to the locked state. Therefore, the energy storage device designed with this structure can achieve automatic locking according to the installation situation of the device body 1, eliminating the manual locking operation, which is beneficial to simplifying the installation operation of the energy storage device, improving the installation efficiency of the energy storage device, and solving the technical problem of the complex installation operation of the energy storage device in the related art.

[0029] In actual implementation, there can be a variety of specific choices for the detection component 3, such as various contact or non-contact position sensors, as long as the detection component 3 can have different trigger states when the device body 1 is installed on the installation base 10 and when it is not installed on the installation base 10, so as to play a detection role. For example, a travel switch, a magnetic sensor, an optoelectronic sensor, etc. There can also be a variety of choices for the installation position of the detection component 3, as long as it can play the above-mentioned detection role. For example, the detection component 3 is arranged on the device body 1 or the locking mechanism 2. Among them, the specific form of the installation base 10 can be various, such as various types of ground, wall surface or the surface of a certain device, etc., as long as it can serve as the installation basis of the energy storage device.

[0030] As described in the background art, padlocks are used in related technologies to prevent theft of energy storage devices. After being locked, the padlock key needs to be properly stored. If the key is lost due to improper storage, it will be difficult to unlock the device during the next equipment maintenance. To solve this technical problem, the controller of this embodiment includes a communication module to receive a control signal sent by an external control device through the communication module. The control signal is used to control the locking mechanism 2 to lock or unlock. In this way, the manual control of locking or unlocking the energy storage device by an external control device can be used to improve the flexibility of the locking or unlocking operation of the energy storage device. Compared with the solution of using a key to lock or unlock in related technologies, the energy storage device of this embodiment will not have the situation of being unable to unlock due to the loss of the key, which facilitates the management of the energy storage device.

[0031] Among them, the external control device can be various types of devices as long as it can send a control signal to the controller in a wired or wireless manner. For example, it can be a device such as a mobile phone or a computer, or a dedicated remote control device designed for communication with the controller.

[0032] Specifically, the controller is the main control board of the energy storage device, or the controller is separately arranged from the main control board of the energy storage device. In one embodiment, the controller is the main control board of the energy storage device. In this embodiment, the signal reception of the detection component 3 and the control of the locking mechanism 2 are realized through the main control board of the energy storage device, so there is no need to design an additional control board, which is beneficial to making the structure of the energy storage device more concise. In another embodiment, the controller is separately arranged from the main control board of the energy storage device. That is to say, in this embodiment, the controller is a control structure independent of the main control board of the energy storage device. With this independent design of the controller solution, there is no need to modify the main control board of the energy storage device, and it can be better compatible with existing energy storage devices.

[0033] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism 2 includes a driving structure 21 and a locking structure 22. The driving structure 21 cooperates with the locking structure 22, and the driving structure 21 drives the locking structure 22 to act, so that the locking mechanism 2 switches between the locked state and the unlocked state. Among them, the controller is electrically connected to the driving structure 21.

[0034] In actual implementation, there can be various choices for the specific form of the driving structure 21 as long as it can give the locking structure 22 a driving force to drive the locking structure 22 to lock or unlock. For example, the driving structure can include a motor, an electromagnet, a cylinder, etc., so as to provide a driving force for locking or unlocking.

[0035] In this embodiment, the locking structure 22 includes a hanging bracket 220 which is used to connect with the installation base 10 so as to hang and install the device body 1 on the installation base 10 through the hanging bracket 220. Wherein, when the locking mechanism 2 is in the locked state, the locking mechanism 2 relatively locks the device body 1 and the hanging bracket 220. In this embodiment, the locking structure 22 includes a hanging bracket 220. During use, the hanging bracket 220 is installed on the installation base 10, and then the device body 1 is hung on the hanging bracket 220, thereby realizing the installation of the device body 1. Wherein, when the locking mechanism 2 is in the locked state, it will relatively lock between the hanging bracket 220 and the device body 1. In this way, the device body 1 can be locked on the hanging bracket 220. For the energy storage device with this structural design, the installation operation is more convenient. Only need to install the hanging bracket 220 on the installation base 10, and then hang the device body 1 on the hanging bracket 220. The controller will control the locking mechanism 2 to switch to the locked state, so that the installation and locking of the energy storage device can be realized.

[0036] In this embodiment, the locking structure 22 includes a first mating part 221 and a second mating part 222. The first mating part 221 is arranged on the device body 1, and the second mating part 222 is arranged on the hanging bracket 220. When the locking mechanism 2 is in the locked state, the first mating part 221 cooperates with the second mating part 222. When the locking mechanism 2 is in the unlocked state, the first mating part 221 is separated from the second mating part 222.

[0037] Specifically, the first mating part 221 is a locking tongue, and the second mating part 222 is a lock hole. The driving structure 21 drives the locking tongue to insert into or withdraw from the lock hole, so that the locking mechanism 2 switches between the locked state and the unlocked state. As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, when the locking mechanism 2 is in the unlocked state, the locking tongue retracts. When the locking mechanism is in the locked state, the locking tongue extends and inserts into the lock hole.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the driving structure 21 includes a motor and a transmission component. The output shaft of the motor cooperates with the transmission component, and the transmission component is connected with the locking tongue. Wherein, the transmission component includes a worm and worm wheel assembly. By adopting a transmission component including a worm and worm wheel assembly, it can better drive the locking tongue to move linearly, so as to insert into or withdraw from the lock hole, and make the locking mechanism 2 have a self-locking characteristic, avoiding the situation of unlocking due to external force after locking.

[0039] As Figure 4 shown, the locking mechanism 2 includes a bracket 23, and both the motor and the transmission component are installed on the bracket 23.

[0040] The design of the bracket 23 provides a support foundation for the motor and the transmission assembly, enabling them to operate stably. Preferably, the detection component 3 is installed on the bracket 23, so that the bracket 23 can also provide reliable support for the detection component 3 to ensure the reliability of its detection effect. In actual implementation, the shape of the bracket 23 is not limited as long as it can play a role in supporting and fixing. In a specific embodiment, the bracket 23 includes a bracket body 231 and a cover plate 232. The bracket body 231 and the cover plate 232 are detachably matched, and an accommodation cavity is formed between the bracket body 231 and the cover plate 232. The motor and the transmission assembly are installed in the accommodation cavity to provide better protection for the motor and the transmission assembly.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the detection component 3 is a normally open switch. When the equipment body 1 is installed on the hanging bracket 220, the hanging bracket 220 triggers the detection component 3 to the closed state. At this time, the controller will control the locking mechanism to act, so as to switch to the locked state and realize the locking of the energy storage device. With this structural design, from the factory to the installation stage of the equipment, the lock tongue of the automatic locking and anti-theft mechanism has been in the unlocked state, and the equipment is automatically locked after being installed in place, making the equipment installation more flexible and convenient.

[0042] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0043] The energy storage device of the present utility model includes: an equipment body 1, a locking mechanism 2, a detection component 3, and a controller. Among them, the locking mechanism 2 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the locking mechanism 2 is in the locked state, the locking mechanism 2 locks the equipment body 1 on the installation base 10. When the locking mechanism 2 is in the unlocked state, the equipment body 1 and the installation base 10 are separable; the detection component 3 is used to detect whether the equipment body 1 is installed on the installation base 10; both the locking mechanism 2 and the detection component 3 are electrically connected to the controller, and the controller controls the locking mechanism 2 to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state according to the detection result of the detection component 3. For the energy storage device with this structural design, the locking mechanism 2, the detection component 3, and the controller are designed. The detection component 3 can detect whether the equipment body 1 is installed on the installation base 10, and the controller controls the locking mechanism 2 to lock or unlock according to the detection result of the detection component 3. Therefore, the energy storage device with this structural design can automatically perform the locking operation according to the installation situation of the equipment body 1. For example, when the detection component 3 detects that the equipment body 1 is installed on the installation base 10, the controller controls the locking mechanism 2 to switch to the locked state. Therefore, the energy storage device with this structural design can achieve automatic locking according to the installation situation of the equipment body 1, eliminating the manual locking operation, which is beneficial to simplifying the installation operation of the energy storage device, improving the installation efficiency of the energy storage device, and solving the technical problem of the complex installation operation of the energy storage device in the related art.
