[0027] The utility model provides a system for energy storage in one-way series connection. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a system for unidirectional series energy storage provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a socket 321 in a system for energy storage unidirectional series connection provided by an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a plug 322 in a system for one-way series connection of energy storage provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4This is a circuit diagram of a system for energy storage in one-way series connection provided by an embodiment of the present invention. A system for energy storage in one-way series connection provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, a battery pack 2 and a series connection mechanism. The housing 1 is provided with a plurality of placement layers 11 arranged in a stacked manner. A battery pack 2 is accommodated inside each placement layer 11. The battery pack 2 includes a plurality of battery modules 21. The positive electrode interface 211 and the negative electrode interface 212 of the battery module 21 are arranged along the stacking direction. The series connection mechanism includes a connector 31 and a dual-core connector. The dual-core connector includes a socket 321 and a plug 322. A socket 321 is provided at each of the positive electrode interface 211 and the negative electrode interface 212, and the socket 321 is provided with a limiting groove 3211. Plugs 322 are connected to both ends of the connector 31 respectively. The plug 322 and the socket 321 are plugged into each other. The plug 322 is provided with a limiting portion 3221 that matches the limiting groove 3211, and the limiting portion 3221 is directly opposite to the limiting groove 3211. Among them, in two adjacent battery modules 21 of the battery pack 2, the socket 321 provided on the positive electrode interface 211 of one battery module 21 is connected in series with the negative electrode interface 212 of the other battery module 21 via the plug 322 and the connector 31. Along the stacking direction, in two corresponding battery modules 21 above and below, the socket 321 provided on the negative electrode interface 212 of one battery module 21 is connected in series with the positive electrode interface 211 of the other battery module 21 via the plug 322 and the connector 31, so that multiple battery modules 21 are connected in series.
[0028] Among them, the connecting part 31 includes a wire, the plug 322 in the dual-core connector is connected to the wire, the socket 321 in the dual-core connector is connected to the positive electrode interface 211 or the negative electrode interface 212 of the battery module 21, and the socket 321 and the plug 322 are mutually engaged. For example, a plug 322 is connected to each other at both ends of the wire, and the plug 322 at one end of the wire is plugged into the socket 321 set at the positive electrode interface 211 of a battery module 21, and the plug 322 at the other end of the wire is plugged into the socket 321 set at the negative electrode interface 212 of another battery module 21, so that the positive electrode interface 211 of one battery module 21 and the negative electrode interface 212 of another battery module 21 are connected in series. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in a system for energy storage unidirectional series connection provided by an embodiment of the present invention, there is no specific restriction on the positive and negative electrode circuit structure integrated in the dual-core connector. It is only necessary to realize that the socket 321 of a dual-core connector is connected to the positive electrode interface 211 of a battery module 21, and a plug 322 is inserted into the socket 321. The wire connected to the plug 322 will be connected to the positive electrode interface 211 of the battery module 21. When the socket 321 of another dual-core connector is connected to the negative electrode interface 212 of another battery module 21, and the other plug 322 is inserted into the socket 321, the above-mentioned wire connected to the plug 322 will be connected to the negative electrode of the battery module 21. The interface 212 is connected, that is, the plugs 322 at both ends of the wire are limited by the limiting portion 3221 and the limiting groove 3211, so that the plugs 322 will be inserted into the corresponding sockets 321 according to the corresponding positions. The socket 321 connected to the negative interface 212 of the battery module 21 only allows the plug 322 with the negative pole connected to be plugged into the socket 321, and the socket 321 connected to the positive interface 211 of the battery module 21 only allows the plug 322 with the positive pole connected to be plugged into the socket 321, so as to realize the fool-proof function in the process of a large number of plug-in operations of the sockets 321 and the plugs 322, effectively avoid safety problems such as short circuits caused by improper operation, and improve the overall safety of the system.
[0029] In this embodiment, a plurality of stacked placement layers 11 are provided within the housing 1. Each placement layer 11 houses a battery pack 2, which includes a plurality of battery modules 21. The positive and negative electrode interfaces 211 and 212 of the battery modules 21 are arranged along the stacking direction. Receptacles 321 of a two-core connector in a series mechanism are provided at the positive and negative electrode interfaces 211 and 212 of the battery modules 21, respectively. The receptacles 321 are provided with limiting slots 3211. A plug 322 of the two-core connector is connected to both ends of the connector 31, and the plug 322 and the receptacle 321 are plugged into each other. The plug 322 is provided with a limiting portion 3221 that matches the limiting slot 3211, with the limiting portion 3221 facing the limiting slot 3211. In the two adjacent battery modules 21 of the battery pack 2, the socket 321 provided at the positive electrode interface 211 of one battery module 21 is connected in series with the negative electrode interface 212 of the other battery module 21 via the plug 322 and the connector 31; in the stacking direction, in the two corresponding battery modules 21 above and below, the socket 321 provided at the negative electrode interface 212 of one battery module 21 is connected in series with the positive electrode interface 211 of the other battery module 21 via the plug 322 and the connector 31, so that the multiple battery modules 21 are connected in series. In this way, a dual-core connector is used to replace multiple traditional single-core connectors. The dual-core connector integrates positive and negative electrode circuits to achieve an integrated connection of the positive and negative electrodes, which will directly reduce the number of connectors and installation steps, which is conducive to simplifying the installation process and reducing visual fatigue and error rate. At the same time, the retaining groove 3211 of the socket 321 matches the retaining portion 3221 of the plug 322, providing a foolproof function during a large number of plug-in connections between the socket 321 and the plug 322, effectively preventing safety issues such as short circuits caused by improper operation and improving the overall safety of the system. This achieves the technical effect of increasing installation convenience and improving safety.
[0030] As an embodiment, the limiting groove 3211 is tapered along the direction of the first power connection end 3212 close to the socket 321, and the limiting portion 3221 is tapered along the direction of the second power connection end 3222 close to the plug 322. The first power connection end 3212 and the second power connection end 3222 can refer to the positive and negative poles of the socket 321 respectively. For example, when a socket 321 is connected to the positive electrode interface 211 of the battery module 21, and a plug 322 is inserted into the socket 321 according to the corresponding position, the plug 322 will be connected to the positive electrode interface 211 of the socket 321. The positive electrode of the battery module 21 is connected to the positive electrode of the battery module 21, and when the other socket 321 is connected to the negative electrode interface 211 of the other battery module 21 and the other plug 322 is inserted into the socket 321 according to the corresponding position, the plug 322 will be connected to the negative electrode of the socket 321, and the projection of the limiting portion 3221 inside the limiting groove 3211 along the insertion direction is located inside the limiting groove 3211, so that during the insertion process, the limiting portion 3221 can slide smoothly into the limiting groove 3211, and after it is fully inserted, the tapered structure provides a stable locking force to prevent the plug 322 from accidentally falling off. In addition, the projection of the limiting portion 3221 inside the limiting groove 3211 along the insertion direction is completely located inside the limiting groove 3211, which also ensures that the plug 322 is stably inserted into the socket 321 according to the preset direction.
[0031] In some embodiments, the socket 321 further includes a retaining section 3213 and a bent section 3214. The bent section 3214 is connected to the retaining section 3213 and is symmetrically arranged relative to a line perpendicular to the retaining section 3213 and located at the center of the retaining section 3213. The retaining section 3213 and the bent section 3214 enclose the retaining groove 3211, making the retaining groove 3211 of the socket 321 more structurally stable and more effectively preventing the plug 322 from shifting or shaking during the insertion process. This not only improves the accuracy and reliability of insertion, but also extends the service life of the socket 321 and the plug 322, helping to simplify the installation process and reduce the error rate.
[0032] In some embodiments, the bent section 3214 includes a first bent section 32141 and a second bent section 32142. The first bent section 32141 is connected to the limiting section 3213, and the second bent section 32142 is connected to the first bent section 32141. The second bent section 32142 protrudes in a direction away from the limiting groove 3211 and is arc-shaped. Due to manufacturing errors during the manufacturing process of the limiting portion 3221 and the limiting groove 3211, the provision of the arc-shaped second bent section 32142 ensures that the matching of the limiting portion 3221 and the limiting groove 3211 has a certain tolerance when the plug 322 and the socket 321 are plugged into each other, that is, the error within a certain range is allowed. Even if there is a certain deviation during the insertion of the plug 322 into the socket 321, it can still be smoothly inserted into the socket 321 and achieve a stable working state, thereby reducing malfunctions or failures caused by minor errors.
[0033] In some embodiments, the socket 321 further includes a plurality of pins 323 and a socket 324. The pins 323 are disposed within the retaining slot 3211, and the socket 324 mates with the pins 323, with the socket 324 being inserted into the socket 324. The socket 321 has a plurality of pins 323 disposed within the retaining slot 3211, while the retaining portion 3221 of the plug 322 is correspondingly provided with a socket 324 that mates with the pins 323. During the plug-in connection process, the pins 323 insert into the socket 324, forming an additional electrical connection and mechanical locking, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the plug 322 and the socket 321.
[0034] In some embodiments, when observed along the stacking direction, in the two corresponding battery modules 21 above and below, the positive electrode interface 211 and the negative electrode interface 212 of one battery module 21 and the positive electrode interface 211 and the negative electrode interface 212 of the other battery module 21 are located on the same side of the battery module 21, so that the operator can more easily identify the interface position and correctly perform the connection operation, which is conducive to reducing the error rate and improving installation efficiency.
[0035] In some embodiments, the socket end 3215 of the socket 321 of the positive terminal interface 211 of the battery module 21 is deviated from the socket end 3215 of the socket 321 of the positive terminal interface 211 of the battery module 21, so that the operator does not need to pay extra attention to the direction of the interface and only needs to assemble it according to the predetermined stacking order. This not only simplifies the installation process, but also reduces visual fatigue and error rate, and can also improve the stability and reliability of the entire system.
[0036] In some embodiments, the system for unidirectional series energy storage provided by the embodiments of the present invention further includes a layer plate, which is disposed between two adjacent placement layers 11 and is used to support the battery modules 21. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the specific structure of the layer plate is not limited in the system for unidirectional series energy storage provided by the embodiments of the present invention; the layer plate only needs to be disposed between two adjacent placement layers 11 to support and secure the battery modules 21. The layer plate serves as a supporting structure between the battery modules 21, effectively distributing the weight and vibration load of the battery modules 21 and protecting the battery modules 21 from external shock and vibration.
[0037] In order to explain in detail an energy storage device provided by the present invention, the above embodiment 1 explains in detail a system for unidirectional series energy storage. Based on the same concept of the present invention, the present application also provides an energy storage device, as detailed in embodiment 2.
[0038] A second embodiment of the present invention provides an energy storage device, including a system for unidirectional series energy storage, and an external circuit 4 connected to the positive electrode interface 211 or the negative electrode interface 212 of a battery module 21.
[0039] Among them, the external circuit 4 includes an air switch, that is, after the above-mentioned multiple battery modules 21 form a series circuit with each other, the socket 321 on the positive interface 211 or the negative interface 212 of one of the battery modules 21 will be used to connect to the external circuit 4 to realize the input or output of electric energy, provide the energy storage device with an input and output channel for electric energy, and enable the energy storage device to be flexibly configured and expanded according to actual needs, thereby enhancing its compatibility and interoperability with other systems.
[0040] In order to provide a detailed description of an electrical device provided by the present invention, the above embodiment 1 provides a detailed description of a system for unidirectional series energy storage. Based on the same utility model concept, the present application also provides an electrical device, see embodiment 3 for details.
[0041] A third embodiment of the present invention provides an electrical device, which includes the system for unidirectional series connection of energy storage, or includes the energy storage device.
[0042] Electric devices can be any device or equipment requiring power, such as electric vehicles, household appliances, and industrial machinery. By integrating a one-way series energy storage system or device into these devices, both energy storage and energy supply can be achieved. This not only improves the independence and self-sufficiency of these devices, but also reduces their reliance on external power grids.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model and are not limiting. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to examples, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
