[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] As Figures 1 to 10 shown, the present application discloses a liquid-cooled energy storage battery system, including:

[0043] An energy storage rack 1 for placing battery modules 2, where the battery modules 2 include drawer boxes 8 and a plurality of battery pack components 9, and a plurality of the battery pack components 9 are placed inside the drawer boxes 8;

[0044] A liquid storage box body 6 for providing a cooling medium to the inside of the drawer box 8;

[0045] A heat exchange chamber 3, in which a heat exchanger coil 4 is provided, and opposite ends of the heat exchanger coil 4 are respectively communicated with the drawer box 8 and the liquid storage box body 6 to form a loop;

[0046] A power pump 5 is arranged between the liquid storage box body 6 and the inlet pipe of the heat exchanger coil 4 for providing power for the cooling medium to flow between the liquid storage box body 6 and the drawer box 8;

[0047] The battery pack component 9 includes an energy storage battery component 91 and a battery pack housing 92. A phase change material accommodation cavity 9203 is arranged inside the battery pack housing 92, and a phase change material is filled in the phase change material accommodation cavity 9203. The phase change material is composed of a crystalline hydrate of calcium salt, magnesium salt, or aluminum salt, and undergoes solid-liquid phase change between 10°C and 40°C.

[0048] The liquid-cooled energy storage battery system described in this application ensures that the battery module 2 is in a fixed and safe state during operation by placing the battery module 2 containing the drawer box 8 and several battery pack components 9 on the energy storage rack 1. By arranging the liquid inlet pipe, the power pump 5, the heat exchanger coil 4, the drawer box 8, the liquid outlet pipe and several switching valves, a cooling medium circulation loop is formed between the liquid storage box body 6 and the drawer box 8. During use, the cooling medium inside the liquid storage box body 6 flows into the drawer box 8 under the action of the power pump 5 to cool and dissipate the heat of the battery pack components 9 inside the drawer box 8. Among them, the cooling medium acts on the phase change material on the battery pack housing 92 in the drawer box 8, and the phase change material is set as a hydrated crystal of calcium salt, magnesium salt or aluminum salt that undergoes solid-liquid phase change at 10°C to 40°C. When the phase change material is in the high-temperature phase state, cooling medium is introduced into the drawer box 8 for cooling. When the phase change material is in the low-temperature phase state, the cooling medium in the drawer box 8 is pumped into the liquid storage box body 6 for storage, so as to ensure that the energy storage battery components 91 inside the battery pack housing 92 are always maintained within a suitable operating temperature range.

[0049] In the liquid-cooled energy storage battery system described in this application, through the combined use of liquid cooling cycle and phase change material, the system can efficiently take away and dissipate the heat generated by the battery, ensure that the battery operates within a suitable temperature range, delay battery aging, extend the service life of the battery, reduce the risk of battery overheating, and improve the safety of the entire energy storage system.

[0050] As a preferred example of this application, the drawer box 8 is plugged and connected or separated from the heat exchange chamber 3 through a quick connector 7, and the drawer box 8 can slide or be fixed relative to the energy storage rack 1. In the example of this application, a first rear plate 81 is provided at the rear end of the drawer box 8. Correspondingly, a first front plate 31 is provided at the front end of the heat exchange chamber 3. A quick female connector 71 is provided on the first front plate 31, and a quick male connector 72 is provided on the first rear plate 81. When the drawer box 8 slides from the front end to the rear end in place on the energy storage rack 1, the quick male connector 72 is flexibly plugged into the quick female connector 71 for sealed connection. In the example of this application, the drawer box 8 and the heat exchange chamber 3 are plugged and connected or separated through the quick connector 7, making the replacement or maintenance of the battery pack components 9 extremely convenient. When it is necessary to replace or maintain the battery pack components 9, simply slide the drawer box 8 out of the energy storage rack 1 and disconnect the quick connector 7, without a complex disassembly process. The quick connector 7 is designed as a structure of a quick male connector 72 and a quick female connector 71 with flexible connection, ensuring a quick and tight connection between the drawer box 8 and the heat exchange chamber 3. When the drawer box 8 slides in place, the quick male connector 72 is flexibly plugged into the quick female connector 71 to form a sealed connection, ensuring that the cooling medium can circulate smoothly between the liquid storage box body 6, the heat exchange chamber 3 and the drawer box 8, so as to achieve efficient heat dissipation of the battery pack components 9.

[0051] This setting realizes convenient plug-in connection or separation between the drawer box 8 and the heat exchange chamber 3 by introducing the design of the quick connector 7, greatly simplifies the replacement and maintenance process of the battery pack assembly 9, ensures a fast, tight and sealed connection between the drawer box 8 and the heat exchange chamber 3, ensures the smooth circulation of the cooling medium, thereby achieving efficient heat dissipation of the battery pack assembly, and further improving the overall performance and maintainability of the energy storage system.

[0052] As a preferred example of the present application, the quick-connect female connectors 71 are arranged in two upper and lower rows on the first front plate 31, and correspondingly, the quick-connect male connectors 72 are arranged in two upper and lower rows on the first rear plate 81. In the example of the present application, one or more quick-connect male connectors 72 are arranged in each row, and the quick-connect male connectors 72 in the upper row are used to flow the cooling medium into the drawer box 8 in the connected state, and the quick-connect male connectors 72 in the lower row are used to flow the cooling medium out of the drawer box 8 in the connected state. As a specific example of the present application, four quick-connect male connectors 72 or quick-connect female connectors 71 are arranged in each row. By respectively providing upper and lower rows of quick-connect female connectors 71 and quick-connect male connectors 72 on the first front plate 31 and the first rear plate 81, and limiting them to the upper row for the inflow of cooling medium and the lower row for the outflow of cooling medium, orderly and efficient circulation of the cooling medium in the drawer box 8 is achieved, which helps to more quickly remove the heat generated by the battery pack assembly 9, thereby improving the cooling efficiency, increasing the flow path of the cooling medium, and reducing the risk of failure of the entire cooling system due to a single connector failure. At the same time, mutual interference between connectors is avoided, the spatial layout is optimized, maintenance and inspection are facilitated, and the cooling medium is ensured to flow in and out smoothly.

[0053] As a preferred example of the present application, the battery pack shell 92 includes a first inner plate 9201, a first outer plate 9202, a first inner bottom plate 9204 and a first outer bottom plate 9205.

The first inner plate 9201, the first outer bottom plate 9205 and the first inner plate 9201 and the first inner bottom plate 9204 surround a phase change material accommodating cavity 9203 with an upper end opening. This arrangement discloses a frame structure in which the battery pack shell 92 forms a phase change material receiving chamber 9203. On the one hand, it enhances the overall strength of the battery pack and improves its impact and pressure resistance in various usage environments, thereby protecting the internal energy storage battery assembly 91 from external damage. On the other hand, it also facilitates the replenishment and replacement of phase change materials, reducing maintenance costs and time. At the same time, the phase change material receiving chamber 9203 includes a design in four side wall directions and a bottom wall, which further enhances the thermal management efficiency of the battery pack assembly 9 and helps to optimize the operating temperature environment of the energy storage battery assembly 91, thereby improving the battery's use efficiency and safety.

[0054] As a preferred example of the present application, a sealing plug 93 is provided at the upper end of the phase change material accommodating cavity 9203. The sealing plug 93 includes a sealing insertion plate 9301 and a sealing baffle 9302. The sealing insertion plate 9301 is hermetically inserted into the phase change material accommodating cavity 9203, and the sealing baffle 9302 is limited and fixed at the upper end of the battery pack housing 92. As a specific example of the present application, the sealing plug 93 is integrally formed of a polymer resin material (such as rubber). The sealing insertion plate 9301 of the sealing plug 93 is hermetically inserted into the phase change material accommodating cavity 9203 with an interference fit. The sealing insertion plate 9301 and the sealing baffle 9302 are designed in a T shape or an L shape. This setting effectively prevents the leakage of the phase change material and the intrusion of external moisture and dust by providing the sealing plug 93 at the opening at the upper end of the phase change material accommodating cavity 9203, ensuring the safety and reliability of the use of the phase change material in the phase change material accommodating cavity 9203, and further improving the stability and safety of the working environment of the energy storage battery assembly 91.

[0055] As a preferred example of the present application, a support assembly 9206 is provided between the first inner bottom plate 9204 and the first outer bottom plate 9205.

A number of first communication holes 9208 are provided on the transverse grid 9207, and the first communication holes 9208 are provided at a position close to the middle on the transverse grid 9207. A number of the first communication grooves 9210 are provided on the longitudinal grid 9209, and the first communication grooves 9210 are provided at the ends of the longitudinal grid 9209 close to the first inner bottom plate 9204 and / or the first outer bottom plate 9205. Preferably, the first communication grooves 9210 are semicircularly arranged. By providing the support assembly 9206 composed of the transverse grid 9207 and the longitudinal grid 9209 between the first inner bottom plate 9204 and the first outer bottom plate 9205, on the one hand, the stability and load-bearing capacity of the bottom structure of the battery pack housing 92 are effectively enhanced, the structural strength and stability of the frame structure forming the phase change material accommodating cavity 9203 are improved, and the energy storage battery assembly 91 inside the battery pack housing 92 is protected from damage. At the same time, a number of first communication holes 9208 are provided on the transverse grid 9207, and a number of first communication grooves 9210 are provided on the longitudinal grid 9209, which helps the circulation of the phase change material medium inside the battery pack assembly 9, promotes the uniform distribution and effective dissipation of heat, thereby improving the thermal management efficiency of the battery, extending the service life of the battery, and further improving the overall performance and safety of the battery pack assembly 9.

[0056] As a preferred example of the present application, a support base 94 is provided at the bottom of the battery pack housing 92. The support base 94 includes a first connection portion 9401 and a first support portion 9402. The first connection portion 9401 passes through the first outer bottom plate 9205 and is threadedly connected to the first inner bottom plate 9204. A sealing layer 9403 is sleeved outside the first support portion 9402 for sealing connection between the first support portion 9402 and the first outer bottom plate 9205. As a specific example of the present application, the cross-section of the first support portion 9402 is gradually enlarged from the end close to the first connection portion 9401 to the end far from the first connection portion 9401, and the lower end of the first support portion 9402 is arranged outside the bottom of the battery pack housing 92.

[0058] As a preferred example of the present application, the heat exchange chamber 3 is communicated with an external refrigeration device for cooling and dissipating heat from the heat exchanger coil 4 inside it. As a preferred example of the present application, the external refrigeration device can introduce cooled air into the heat exchange chamber 3.

As an example of the present application, the cooling medium inside the liquid storage box body 6 is water.

[0059] This setting passes the cooled air into the heat exchange chamber 3 through an external refrigeration device.
