[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lightning protection for box - type energy storage cabinets, and particularly relates to a container - type energy storage cabinet with a lightning - protection structure. Background Technique
[0002] The container - type energy storage cabinet is an innovative energy storage solution. It integrates energy storage devices in a standardized container, forming a modular and movable energy storage system. The design of this energy storage cabinet fully considers the convenience of transportation, installation, and commissioning, enabling it to be quickly deployed in various application scenarios.
[0003] However, in actual use, although container - type energy storage cabinets are often deployed in outdoor environments due to their flexibility and efficiency, they are not often specifically designed with lightning - protection requirements in mind during design. This results in a lack of sufficient protection measures to withstand lightning strikes, thereby increasing the risk of equipment damage.
[0004] The outdoor environment is variable, including extreme weather conditions such as thunderstorms, strong winds, high temperatures, and low temperatures. Container - type energy storage cabinets are directly exposed to these conditions, especially during thunderstorms, and are prone to being struck by lightning, which can lead to equipment damage or functional failure. Lightning strikes may damage the batteries, electronic devices, and other key components inside the energy storage cabinet, causing the equipment to malfunction and even potentially triggering a fire. In addition, the electromagnetic interference generated by lightning strikes may damage the data stored in the energy storage cabinet, resulting in information loss or system failure.
[0005] Due to the possible equipment damage caused by lightning strikes, the maintenance and repair costs will increase accordingly, which is an additional burden on the operating costs. Lightning strikes not only may damage equipment but also pose a safety hazard to the surrounding personnel and environment. For example, lightning strikes may cause a short - circuit inside the energy storage cabinet, increasing the risk of electric shock. Therefore, when designing and deploying container - type energy storage cabinets, it is necessary to consider adding appropriate lightning - protection measures to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel. Content of the Utility Model
[0006] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a container - type energy storage cabinet with a lightning - protection structure, which can effectively solve the problems raised in the background technique.

[0011] As a further optional solution, an isolation cover is provided on the inner wall of the protective insulation pipeline, and a waist-shaped hole is opened on the end face of the isolation cover. The isolation cover and the protective insulation pipeline form a grounding wire channel, and the grounding wire of the lightning protection device penetrates into the grounding wire channel;
[0012] As a further optional solution, the protective insulation pipeline is fixedly welded to the container body, and the protective insulation pipeline penetrates from the top to the bottom of the container body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] In the present utility model, the lightning protection device can effectively protect the container body and the energy storage device inside it from lightning strikes. The design of the lightning rod ensures that when lightning occurs, the lightning current can be timely guided into the ground, thereby protecting the entire energy storage cabinet from damage.

[0018] The integration of the lightning protection device means that the energy storage cabinet can also operate stably during thunderstorm weather, without causing system interruption or data loss due to lightning strikes, which is crucial for ensuring the continuity and reliability of energy supply. Lightning strikes may cause equipment damage, and the repair or replacement of equipment will bring additional economic burdens. The lightning protection device can effectively avoid this situation, reduce the direct economic losses caused by lightning strikes, and also reduce the potential indirect losses caused by equipment failures, such as downtime losses and energy losses.
[0019] The lifting design of the lightning rod enables it to be retracted during non-thunderstorm weather, reducing unnecessary exposure and improving safety. At the same time, the bolt and nut connections between the electric push rod and the lightning protection device, as well as the threaded connection between the sealing cover and the protective insulating pipe, ensure the stability and reliability of the structure. Regular inspection and maintenance of the lightning protection device can ensure its effectiveness at critical moments. The good sealing performance between the sealing cover and the protective insulating pipe, as well as the integrity inspection of the grounding system, are the keys to ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0020] Due to the lightning protection ability of the containerized energy storage cabinet, it can be deployed in a variety of environments, including those with frequent lightning activities, thus providing greater environmental adaptability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
