The cluster manager 2 is connected to the circuit breaker 5 and is used to monitor the opening and closing states of the circuit breaker 5. A closing and opening handle 24 of the circuit breaker 5 is also integrated on the side wall of the high-voltage box body 1. The on-off of the circuit breaker 5 is manually controlled through the closing and opening handle 24.

[0043] Specifically, the first end a1 of the circuit breaker 5 is connected to the total negative interface 3 of the energy storage system battery cluster, the second end a2 of the circuit breaker 5 is connected to the total positive interface 4 of the energy storage system battery cluster, the third end a3 of the circuit breaker 5 is connected to the total negative output interface 9 of the energy storage system battery cluster through the first electronic control switch 11, and the fourth end a4 of the circuit breaker 5 is connected to the total positive output interface 10 of the energy storage system battery cluster through the second electronic control switch 12.

[0044] Working principle: During use, when the switching handle 24 is moved, that is, after manually closing the circuit breaker 5, the first end a1 of the circuit breaker 5 is closed with the third end a3 of the circuit breaker 5, and the second end a2 of the circuit breaker 5 and the fourth end a4 of the circuit breaker 5 are both closed. The cluster manager 2 monitors the switching state of the circuit breaker 5 in real time.

[0045] When it is detected that the circuit breaker 5 is in the closed state, the cluster manager 2 first controls the third electronic control switch 13 and the first electronic control switch 11 to close, that is, the pre-charge circuit is closed, and the circuit is pre-charged. After the cluster manager 2 completes self-checking and checks that there is no error, it controls the third electronic control switch 13 to open, and controls the first electronic control switch 11 to remain closed. At the same time, it controls the second electronic control switch 12 to close, that is, the connection circuit in which the circuit breaker 5 is connected in series between the total negative interface 3 of the energy storage system battery cluster, the total positive interface 4 of the energy storage system battery cluster and the total negative output interface 9 of the energy storage system battery cluster, the total positive output interface 10 of the energy storage system battery cluster is connected.

[0046] In this embodiment, the energy storage system is a string-type liquid-cooled energy storage system.

[0047] It can be understood that the self-checking of the cluster manager 2 includes fault detection and insulation detection.

[0049] Exemplarily, the circuit breaker 5 adopts an electromagnetic circuit breaker, and the circuit breaker 5 includes an electromagnet 31, a first electromagnetic contact F11, a suspended contact F12, and a second electromagnetic contact F14. The electromagnet 31 is controlled by the cluster manager 2. The first electromagnetic contact F11 is a normally closed contact, and the second electromagnetic contact F14 is a normally open contact. When the electromagnet 31 is not powered, the second electromagnetic contact F14 is in an open state, and the current cannot pass. When the electromagnet 31 is powered, the second electromagnetic contact F14 is closed, allowing the current to pass. The blade connected to the first electromagnetic contact F11 is respectively linked with the blade between the first end a1 of the circuit breaker 5 and the third end a3 of the circuit breaker 5, and the blade between the second end a2 of the circuit breaker 5 and the fourth end a4 of the circuit breaker 5.

Since the blades connected to the first electromagnetic contact F11 are respectively linked with the blades between the first end a1 of the circuit breaker 5 and the third end a3 of the circuit breaker 5, and the blades between the second end a2 of the circuit breaker 5 and the fourth end a4 of the circuit breaker 5, the first electromagnetic contact F11 of the circuit breaker 5 is disconnected from the suspended contact F12 of the circuit breaker 5, and the first electromagnetic contact F11 of the circuit breaker 5 is closed with the second electromagnetic contact F14 of the circuit breaker 5, and the cluster manager 2 is respectively connected with the first electromagnetic contact F11 of the circuit breaker 5 and the second electromagnetic contact F14 of the circuit breaker 5, for real-time monitoring of the opening and closing status of the circuit breaker 5.

[0052] When the opening and closing handle 24 is moved again to manually open the circuit breaker 5, since the blade connected to the first electromagnetic contact F11 is respectively linked with the blade between the first end a1 of the circuit breaker 5 and the third end a3 of the circuit breaker 5, and the blade between the second end a2 of the circuit breaker 5 and the fourth end a4 of the circuit breaker 5, when the blade between the first end a1 of the circuit breaker 5 and the third end a3 of the circuit breaker 5, and the blade between the second end a2 of the circuit breaker 5 and the fourth end a4 of the circuit breaker 5 are disconnected, the first electromagnetic contact F11 of the circuit breaker 5 and the second electromagnetic contact F14 are disconnected, and the first electromagnetic contact F11 of the circuit breaker 5 and the suspended contact F12 of the circuit breaker 5 are closed, and the cluster manager 2 monitors that the circuit breaker 5 is in the open state at this time.

When the external power interface 6 accesses the power source, the current flows through the on-power button 7. Pressing the on-power button 7, the current flows through the on-power button 7 and then through the power conversion unit 15. The power conversion unit 15 performs power conversion to provide power for the cluster manager 2 to ensure that the cluster manager 2 can operate.

When the temperature in the high-voltage box body 1 reaches the preset temperature value of the temperature control switch 30, the electromagnet of the temperature control switch 30 is powered on. The common terminal K4 of the temperature control switch 30 is disconnected from the normally closed contact K2 of the temperature control switch 30, and the common terminal K4 of the temperature control switch 30 is closed to the normally closed contact K8 of the temperature control switch 30.
