Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of heat dissipation structures, in particular to a heat dissipation structure for a string-type energy storage battery compartment. Background Art

[0002] String energy storage battery compartments connect the battery clusters in series via a DC connection using an energy storage inverter. Multiple clusters are connected in parallel using AC, enabling per-cluster management. These compartments offer significant advantages over centralized energy storage systems and have gradually become a mainstream product in the market in recent years. While liquid cooling technology allows precise temperature control for the batteries in string energy storage compartments, the energy storage inverter uses air cooling. This air cooling requires ventilation holes in the battery compartment, which inevitably affects the overall protection level of the battery compartment. Energy storage battery compartments are typically located and operated outdoors, with a protection level of at least IP54. Therefore, to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the energy storage inverter and the protection level of the battery compartment, the energy storage inverter must be separated from the battery cluster. If the energy storage inverter is housed in a separate compartment, the floor space required increases by 40%. If the energy storage inverter is located adjacent to the battery cluster, both the heat dissipation issues of the energy storage inverter and the protection level of the battery compartment must be addressed.

[0003] Therefore, in response to the above problems, we propose a string-type energy storage battery compartment heat dissipation structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model has opened up a battery cavity and an energy storage converter cavity, so that the battery compartment is arranged in two layers, the upper layer is the battery cluster with a protection level of IP54, and the lower layer is the energy storage converter with a protection level of IP20. This not only achieves product functions but also saves land. At the same time, an air duct is designed inside the energy storage converter cavity so that the energy storage converter can achieve cyclic heat exchange with the outside world to achieve cooling of the energy storage converter. The design of the dustproof structure can filter the air outlet of the shell to prevent external dust from entering the energy storage converter cavity from the shell. The invention reduces the damage of external dust to the energy storage inverter and increases its service life. It solves the problem that the cooling method of the energy storage inverter in the string energy storage battery compartment is air cooling. The use of air cooling requires ventilation holes in the battery compartment, which will inevitably affect the protection level of the entire battery compartment. However, the energy storage battery compartment is generally arranged and operated outdoors, and the protection level is not lower than IP54. Therefore, in order to meet the heat dissipation of the energy storage inverter and the protection level of the battery compartment, the energy storage inverter and the battery cluster must be arranged separately. If the energy storage inverter is equipped with a separate compartment, the floor space will increase.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a heat dissipation structure for a string-type energy storage battery compartment, comprising a battery compartment body, wherein a battery cavity and an energy storage converter cavity are provided inside the battery compartment body, the number of the battery cavities and the energy storage converter cavities are the same, and the two are distributed up and down, the number of the battery cavities is multiple groups distributed equidistantly left and right, two energy storage converters symmetrically distributed front and back are installed inside the energy storage converter cavity, a shell is fixedly installed inside the energy storage converter cavity between the two energy storage converters, the bottom of the shell is connected to the outside, a support plate is fixedly installed inside the shell, a heat dissipation fan is fixedly installed inside the support plate, and air ducts are fixedly installed on both side outer walls of the shell.

[0006] Preferably, an air outlet is provided on the outer wall of the two energy storage converters close to each other, and an air inlet is provided on the outer wall of the energy storage converter away from the air outlet. The air outlet is connected to an air duct, and the height of the air duct is higher than the support plate.

[0007] Preferably, first filter screens are fixedly installed at both ends of the cavity of the energy storage converter, and the energy storage converter is located between the two first filter screens.

[0010] Preferably, a third sealed door is hinged at one end of the back of the equipment cavity, and two heat dissipation windows distributed up and down are fixedly installed inside the third sealed door.

[0011] Preferably, two supporting legs are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the battery compartment body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a heat dissipation structure for a string-type energy storage battery compartment, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model provides a battery cavity and an energy storage converter cavity on a heat dissipation structure of a string-type energy storage battery compartment, so that the battery compartment is arranged in two layers, the upper layer is a battery cluster with a protection level of IP54, and the lower layer is an energy storage converter with a protection level of IP10.
