[0039] The following further elaborates on this application with reference to the drawings.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an energy storage cabinet is provided, wherein a chamber is formed inside the energy storage cabinet, and the energy storage cabinet comprises an electrical chamber 1 and a unit component 2, wherein the electrical chamber 1 and the unit component 2 are arranged in the same chamber, and an air vent X is provided on the unit component 2, and the air vent X takes in or exhausts air to achieve functions such as heat dissipation or ventilation, and an air flow is formed in the process of the air vent X sucking in or exhausting gas, and the electrical chamber 1 has an action surface Y, and a groove 13 is provided on the action surface Y, and an electrical component 12 is arranged in the groove 13, and a maintenance plate 11 is detachably connected to the action surface Y, and the maintenance plate 11 forms an obstacle to the contact between the air flow and the electrical component 12.

[0041] On the one hand, by setting up the maintenance plate 11, the contact between the electrical components 12 and the gas sucked in or discharged from the air outlet X is cut off, thereby achieving the function of protecting the electrical components 12 and helping to reduce the erosion of dust, foreign matter, etc. on the electrical components 12; if the exhaust gas of components such as PCS21 or liquid cooling unit realizes the heat exchange function, it will also carry a certain amount of heat, and the contact between the hot gas and the electrical components 12 will also affect the use of the electrical components 12. The maintenance plate 11 cuts off the direct contact between the electrical components 12 and such gas, thereby extending the service life of the electrical components 12, reducing the possibility of system failure of the electrical components 12, and improving the safety and stability of the overall operation.

[0042] On the other hand, a groove 13 is provided on the active surface Y and the electrical component 12 is placed therein to form an accommodating space. It is difficult for the unit component 2 to be directly blown into the groove 13, and the possibility of the electrical component 12 being affected by the airflow when it is arranged in the groove 13 is further reduced. In addition, the maintenance plate 11 is connected to the active surface Y to block the groove 13, thereby forming further protection for the electrical component 12. The maintenance plate 11 and the active surface Y roughly form a plane, which is smooth as a whole and has a strong sense of unity. Airflow, water vapor, dust, etc. are not easy to enter, thereby reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement of components.

[0043] Preferably, the maintenance plate 11 and the active surface Y are detachably connected by bolts; preferably, the maintenance plate 11 and the active surface Y are detachably connected by snap-fitting; more preferably, the maintenance plate 11 and the active surface Y are detachably connected by hand screws 113, which are easy to install and disassemble. The hand screws 113 make the maintenance process simple and quick, and the user can easily install and disassemble, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0044] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, a window 111 is opened on the maintenance plate 11 , and a cover plate 112 is connected to the maintenance plate 11 , and the cover plate 112 blocks the window 111 .

[0045] The setting of the shielding plate 112 further improves the convenience and flexibility of maintenance and use. By opening a window 111 on the maintenance board 11, it is convenient to observe, connect, locally inspect, and maintain the electrical components 12. For details, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the window 111 faces the part of the electrical component 12 that needs to be connected or observed; Figure 3 In [reference figure], the power interface of the electrical component 12 located above faces the window 111, and the power supply can be conveniently connected by opening the shielding plate; Figure 3 In [reference figure], the wiring part of the electrical component 12 located below faces the window 111, and the wiring status can be directly observed by opening the shielding plate; During maintenance, it is not necessary to completely disassemble the maintenance board 11, which greatly improves the maintenance efficiency and reduces the downtime.

[0046] Furthermore, the shielding plate 112 includes: a cover-shaped part 1121 and an outer edge part 1122. The outer edge part 1122 is connected to the edge of the cover-shaped part 1121. The cover-shaped part 1121 faces the window 111. The cover-shaped part 1121 protrudes from the maintenance board 11, and the outer edge part 1122 fits the maintenance board 11, and the outer edge part 1122 is connected to the maintenance board 11.

[0047] Preferably, the outer edge part 1122 includes: an upper outer edge part 1122A and a lower outer edge part 1122B. The upper outer edge part 1122A and the lower outer edge part 1122B are oppositely arranged on both sides of the cover-shaped part 1121. The upper outer edge part 1122A is detachably connected to the maintenance board 11, and the lower outer edge part 1122B is rotatably connected to the maintenance board 11. In this way, when the connection between the upper outer edge part 1122A and the maintenance board 11 is disconnected, the lower outer edge part 1122B rotates naturally, and the electrical components are in an exposed state, facilitating direct use by the user.

[0048] More preferably, the outer edge part 1122 includes: an upper outer edge part 1122A and a lower outer edge part 1122B. The upper outer edge part 1122A and the lower outer edge part 1122B are oppositely arranged on both sides of the cover-shaped part 1121. The upper outer edge part 1122A is rotatably connected to the maintenance board 11, and the lower outer edge part 1122B is detachably connected to the maintenance board 11. In this way, when the connection between the lower outer edge part 1122B and the maintenance board 11 is disconnected, the shielding plate 112 still covers the window 111, realizing flexible ventilation control. The shielding plate 112 can be opened or closed as needed, thereby flexibly controlling the degree of air flow entering the electrical compartment 1, which helps to maintain an appropriate temperature and ventilation environment for the electrical components 12 during maintenance.

[0049] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, the rotatable connection method between the outer edge part 1122 and the maintenance board 11 is a hinge connection; In another preferred embodiment, the rotatable connection method between the outer edge part 1122 and the maintenance board 11 is a hinge 1122C connection.

[0050] More specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the upper outer edge portion 1122A is in a strip shape so as to be connected to the maintenance board 11 through a hinge 1122C.

[0051] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, the detachable connection manner between the outer edge portion 1122 and the maintenance board 11 is snap connection; in another preferred embodiment, the detachable connection manner between the outer edge portion 1122 and the maintenance board 11 is connection by a non-loosening screw 1122D.

[0052] More specifically, referring to Figure 4 , openings are provided on the lower outer edge portion 1122B so as to be connected to the maintenance board 11 through non-loosening screws 1122D.

[0053] Furthermore, the number of the grooves 13 is multiple, and the number of the maintenance boards 11 matches the number of the grooves 13; they can be classified and arranged in different grooves 13 according to the types of the electrical components 12 in the electrical appliance bin 1, and the electrical components 12 in other grooves 13 will not be affected during the process of maintaining and using the electrical components in one of the grooves 13; as Figure 3 shown, two upper and lower grooves 13 are shown, which are divided into a power connection part and a wiring part, improving the space utilization efficiency and facilitating the installation and maintenance of the equipment.

[0054] As Figure 5 shown, a wire outlet hole Y1 is further provided on the acting surface Y. Furthermore, a wire protection sleeve Y2 is provided on the wire outlet hole Y1. The wire outlet hole Y1 communicates the space outside the acting surface Y and the space inside the electrical appliance bin 1, making the linear connection more convenient and enabling the wires to be quickly connected; the setting of the wire protection sleeve Y2 can also effectively prevent the wires from being worn and damaged during use, extend the service life of the equipment, and at the same time play a dust-proof and waterproof function.

[0055] Furthermore, the unit components 2 include one or more of a high-voltage box 22, a PCS 21, a battery PACK, and a liquid cooling unit; Figure 5 An embodiment in which the high-voltage box 22, the PCS 21, and the electrical appliance bin 1 are in the same bin body is shown, improving the system integration degree. Integrating multiple components together makes the overall structure more compact, reduces the complexity of wiring and connection, and improves the reliability of the system.

[0056] Combining multiple components according to requirements improves flexibility and scalability. Flexibly selecting different component combinations according to actual requirements enables the unit to adapt to different usage scenarios and load requirements.

[0057] The embodiments of this specific implementation manner are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model accordingly.
