Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet, belonging to the technical field of energy storage equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous growth of renewable energy and the support of national policies, energy storage cabinets have rapidly developed due to their easy installation, small footprint, and flexible deployment. However, although most energy storage cabinets on the market adopt an integrated layout to reduce on-site installation and commissioning work, they still have problems such as inconvenient on-site wiring and complex foundation construction.
[0003] Currently, the mainstream solution for liquid-cooled energy storage cabinets generally adopts rack-mounted liquid cooling units or plug-in frame-type liquid cooling units, and the external cable outlet method adopts bottom-in and bottom-out. When installing on-site with this solution, it is often necessary to reserve a cable trench during foundation construction. In addition, the small bottom space makes on-site connection extremely complicated and inconvenient. For example, 1. During the wiring process, it is necessary to connect the wires from the bottom of the liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet, and the space is small and the operation is relatively difficult. 2. Cable trenches and wiring space need to be reserved during the foundation construction of the liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet, which increases construction costs. 3. When multiple liquid-cooled energy storage cabinets are connected in parallel, each liquid cooling cabinet needs to lead out cables. The large number of external cables makes wiring errors prone to occur, posing a safety hazard.
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, this application proposes a liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention overcomes the existing defects and provides a liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet, which avoids the need to pre-buried cable troughs during foundation construction, thereby reducing construction difficulty and saving construction costs. At the same time, it can also prevent cables from being soaked in water in rainy weather, reducing safety hazards, and can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet comprises a plurality of energy storage cabinets that need to be grid-connected, a grid-connected cabinet, and a liquid-cooling unit installed inside the energy storage cabinet. The liquid-cooling unit is preferably configured as a wall-mounted liquid-cooling unit and installed on the cabinet door of the energy storage cabinet, thereby saving top space. The cabinet body of the energy storage cabinet is divided into a battery compartment, an electrical compartment, and a busbar compartment from bottom to top. The three compartments are arranged independently of each other. A wall-mounted liquid-cooling unit is adopted and placed on the cabinet door, thereby saving height space of the energy storage cabinet. The saved space is used to reserve a busbar compartment above. A copper busbar joint is fixedly connected to the interior of the busbar compartment. The copper busbar joint cooperates with a busbar to connect and connect the cabinets. This can reduce on-site foundation construction, make the overall on-site construction more convenient, and reduce costs.
[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, a distribution box and a PCS are installed inside the electrical room. The distribution box and the PCS are electrically connected to the copper busbar connector through a quick-plug connector, thereby realizing a quick connection between the distribution box, the PCS and the copper busbar connector inside the electrical room.
[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the liquid cooling unit is arranged to be wall-mounted, and a battery pack is arranged inside the battery compartment.
[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, adjacent energy storage cabinets or grid-connected cabinets are provided with threading grooves, and a sealing cover plate for sealing is provided on the top of the threading groove.
[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the cross section of the sealing cover plate is set to be an X-shape, and adjacent energy storage cabinets or grid-connected cabinets are sealed and connected via the sealing cover plate.
[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the bus copper busbar is provided in several sections, and adjacent bus copper busbars are connected by connecting copper busbars.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: a liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet adopts a wall-mounted liquid cooling unit, and the liquid cooling unit is placed on the front door panel, thereby saving the height space of the liquid cooling cabinet. The saved space is used to reserve a busbar room on the top, and the cabinets are connected and combined through copper buses. This can reduce on-site foundation construction, make the overall on-site construction more convenient, and reduce costs. At the same time, it can also prevent the cables from being soaked in water in rainy weather, reducing safety hazards. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] Example
[0024] Since a single liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet has low power consumption, in practical applications, several or even dozens of them are usually connected in parallel in an energy storage power station. Figure 5 As shown, in order to increase the overall system capacity, several energy storage cabinets 1 are connected in parallel to the grid-connected cabinet 10. The traditional grid-connected method is to use bottom-out cables, and the external cable outlet method is bottom-in and bottom-out. When this solution is installed on-site, it is often necessary to reserve a cable trench during foundation construction. In addition, due to the small bottom space, the on-site connection is extremely complicated and inconvenient to construct.
[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet is provided, wherein the interior of a single energy storage cabinet 1 is divided from bottom to top into a battery compartment 6, an electrical compartment 5, and a busbar compartment 4. The three compartments are arranged independently of each other. The liquid cooling unit 3 originally installed on the top of the energy storage cabinet 1 is installed on the cabinet door 2 of the energy storage cabinet 1, and the height space saved is reserved for the busbar compartment 4. A copper busbar connector 8 is fixedly connected to the interior of the busbar compartment 4. When multiple energy storage cabinets 1 need to be grid-connected, the energy storage cabinets 1 are connected in parallel via a busbar 14 to a grid-connecting cabinet 10. The copper busbar is used to connect and connect the cabinets. This can reduce the excavation and foundation construction of on-site cable trenches, making the overall on-site construction more convenient and reducing costs. It can also prevent cables from being soaked in water during rainy weather, reducing safety hazards.
[0026] In some optional embodiments, the interior of the electrical room 5 is used to install the distribution box and PCS, and the distribution box and PCS are electrically connected to the copper busbar connector 8 through the quick-plug connector 9. The electrical room inside the liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet adopts a modular design. The assembly of the distribution box and PCS is completed externally first, and then a rack-type installation is adopted. The tail is electrically connected to the copper busbar connector 8 inside the busbar room 4 using the quick-plug connector 9. This connection scheme can reduce the amount of cables used, make the wiring more beautiful, and make the installation more convenient.
[0027] In some optional embodiments, the liquid cooling unit 3 is configured to be wall-mounted, a battery pack 7 is provided inside the battery chamber 6, and the liquid cooling unit 3 originally installed on the top of the energy storage cabinet 1 is installed on the cabinet door 2 of the energy storage cabinet 1, and the saved height space is reserved for the busbar chamber 4.
[0028] In some optional embodiments, adjacent energy storage cabinets 1 or grid-connected cabinets 10 are each provided with a threading groove 12 , and a sealing cover plate 11 for sealing is provided on the top of the threading groove 12 .
[0029] In some optional embodiments, the cross-section of the sealing cover plate 11 is set to be an X-shape, and adjacent energy storage cabinets 1 or grid-connected cabinets 10 are sealed and connected through the sealing cover plate 11 .
[0030] In some optional embodiments, the bus copper bar 14 is provided in several sections, and adjacent bus copper bars 14 are connected by connecting copper bars 13 .
[0031] As a preferred solution, a certain distance is set between adjacent energy storage cabinets 1 or grid-connected cabinets 10. The busbars 14 are all arranged inside the energy storage cabinet 1 and extend out of the threading groove 12. The connecting copper bars 13 are connected to the busbars 14 from the outside of the energy storage cabinet 1 or grid-connected cabinet 10, which makes wiring more convenient. The connecting copper bars 13 are sealed from the top of the energy storage cabinet 1 by the sealing cover plate 11 to achieve a waterproof effect.
[0032] A liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet, the internal electrical room of the liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet adopts a modular design. The assembly of the distribution box and PCS is completed on the outside first, and then it is rack-mounted. The tail is electrically connected using a quick-plug connector 9 and a copper busbar connector 8 inside the busbar chamber 4. This connection scheme can reduce the amount of cables used, make the wiring more beautiful, and make the installation more convenient. This application uses the top busbar chamber 4 to connect multiple cabinets in parallel, which can realize direct grid-connected wiring from the outside, avoiding the need to pre-buried cable troughs during foundation construction, thereby reducing construction difficulty and saving construction costs. At the same time, it can also prevent the cables from being soaked in water in rainy weather, reducing safety hazards.
