The water outlet end of the heat exchanger is located at the lower end inside the cabinet body.

[0008] Furthermore: The water inlet end of the circulating water pump and the water outlet end of the heat exchanger face in opposite directions.

[0009] Furthermore: An extension plate is arranged on the upper end of the cabinet body on the side of the placement box. The side surface of the extension plate is fixedly connected to the cabinet body and the inspection plate.

[0010] Further: The shape of the placement box is adapted to the battery module.

[0011] Further: A thermometer is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the placement box.

[0012] Further: One side of the cabinet body is made of transparent material.

[0013] The advantages of the present utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0014] First, by setting the climbing groove, the maintenance panel and the supporting mechanism, it is convenient to perform maintenance in time when the battery module fails.

[0015] Second, by setting the supporting mechanism, it can rise and fall in the coolant according to the temperature of the battery module, so as to adjust the cooling intensity and avoid electrical short circuit or other failures caused by excessive cooling of the battery module.

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] Combined with the attached Figures 1-4 drawings, the present invention provides an immersion cooling energy storage cabinet, including a cabinet body 1 with a hollow upper end. A number of climbing grooves 11 are dug on one side of the cabinet body. Two supporting mechanisms 2 are evenly distributed in the cabinet body. An adjusting mechanism 3 is arranged at the lower end of the cabinet body 1 between the supporting mechanisms 2. A maintenance board 12 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cabinet body 1 on one side of the climbing groove 11. When the battery module 23 encounters a fault and needs to be inspected, climb to the upper end of the cabinet body 1 through the climbing groove 11 on one side of the cabinet body 1, and then lift the battery module 23 to be inspected through the supporting mechanism 2 for inspection. The supporting mechanism 2 includes a telescopic column 21 and a placement box 22. The two telescopic columns 21 are symmetrically distributed and fixedly connected to both sides of the lower end of the placement box 22. The lower end of the telescopic column 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cabinet body 1. When the temperature of the battery module 23 is not high, the heat is transferred to the coolant through the placement box 22 in contact with the battery module 23. When the temperature is relatively high, the telescopic column 21 descends to raise the water level of the coolant, increasing the contact area between the placement box 22 and the coolant and enhancing the cooling effect. The battery module 23 is supported in the placement box 22. The controller controls the telescopic column 21 according to the temperature detected by the sensor in the cabinet body 1. When the temperature of the battery module 23 is relatively high, the telescopic column 21 contracts to lower the placement box 22. The placement box 22 has good thermal conductivity, so as to dissipate the heat of the battery module 23. The controller can accurately control the height of the placement box 22 according to the real-time temperature, so as to adjust the cooling intensity and avoid electrical short circuits or other faults caused by excessive cooling of the battery module 23.

[0026] Embodiment 2

[0027] Combined with the attached Figures 1-3, on the basis of the first embodiment, the adjusting mechanism 3 includes a circulating water pump 31 and a heat exchanger 32. Both the lower ends of the circulating water pump 31 and the heat exchanger 32 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cabinet body 1. The water inlet end of the circulating water pump 31 is communicated with the liquid inside the cabinet body 1, the water outlet end of the circulating water pump 31 is communicated with the heat exchanger 32, and the water outlet end of the heat exchanger 32 is located at the lower end inside the cabinet body 1. The water inlet end of the circulating water pump 31 and the water outlet end of the heat exchanger 32 face in opposite directions. The temperature of the coolant is reduced by the heat exchanger 32, and at the same time, the flow of the coolant inside the cabinet body 1 can be promoted, thereby effectively enhancing the cooling effect. An extension plate 13 is provided on the side of the upper end of the cabinet body 1 where the placement box 22 is located. The side surface of the extension plate 13 is fixedly connected to the cabinet body 1 and the maintenance plate 12. It is convenient to perform maintenance on the side surface of the battery module 23 on the cabinet body 1 through the extension plate 13. The shape of the placement box 22 is adapted to that of the battery module 23, which is convenient for heat transfer through the placement box 22. A thermometer 24 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the placement box 22. One side of the cabinet body 1 is made of a transparent material, which is convenient for the staff to monitor the temperature of the battery module 23 in real time.

[0028] The working principle of this application is as follows: This patent can accurately control the height of the placement box 22 through the controller, thereby adjusting the cooling intensity and effectively avoiding electrical short circuits or other failures caused by excessive cooling of the battery module 23; when the battery module 23 encounters a fault and needs to be inspected, climb to the upper end of the cabinet body 1 through the climbing groove 11 on one side of the cabinet body 1, and then lift the placement box 22 to the plane where the maintenance plate 12 is located by adjusting the height of the telescopic column 21, so as to facilitate timely maintenance when the battery module 23 fails.

[0029] The above describes the present invention and its implementation manners. Such a description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. All in all, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design similar structural manners and embodiments without creative efforts without departing from the creative purpose of the present invention, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
