Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of energy storage facilities, and in particular to a battery room and an energy storage container. Background Art

[0002] Energy storage containers, as a new energy storage solution, improve the flexibility and efficiency of energy storage and transportation by integrating energy storage batteries, battery management systems, and energy conversion systems into a closed container. Because the charging and discharging process generates a large amount of heat, appropriate heat dissipation and insulation measures are required to prevent ambient temperature from affecting battery life. Currently, the two most common heat dissipation methods are air cooling and liquid cooling.

[0003] In existing structural designs, containers are often divided into compartments such as a battery room, power conversion room, and fire protection room. This compartmentalized design isolates the battery room and facilitates independent temperature control. However, the battery room is not further separated; power control equipment such as the energy storage inverter and high-voltage box are located in the same space as the battery pack. Operating components such as the energy storage inverter and high-voltage box generate a large amount of heat, which can easily affect the battery pack and cause malfunction. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present application provides a battery chamber and energy storage container to solve or improve the problem that working devices such as energy storage inverters and high-voltage boxes generate a lot of heat during operation, which can easily cause the battery pack to be affected by high temperature and cause abnormal operation.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a battery chamber, comprising a chamber and a partition arranged in the chamber, wherein the partition divides the chamber into a battery chamber and a working chamber, wherein the battery chamber is suitable for placing a battery pack, and the working chamber is suitable for placing a power control device.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0007] A column beam, both ends of which are connected to two inner walls opposite to the chamber, and a plurality of column beams are sequentially arranged in the chamber.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the partition includes:

[0009] a first partition plate, provided with a first through hole for the column beam to pass through;

[0010] The second partition is connected to the first partition, and the first partition and the second partition are spaced apart from each other.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the second separator includes:

[0012] a first clamping member connected to the adjacent first partition and provided with a first sliding groove;

[0013] a second clamping member connected to another adjacent first partition and provided with a second sliding groove;

[0014] The plate body has two sides respectively inserted into the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the plate body includes:

[0016] A first plate body, two sides of which are respectively inserted into the first chute and the second chute;

[0017] The second plate body has two sides respectively inserted into the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove, and the second plate body is suitable for abutting against the first plate body.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the first partition is provided with a second through-hole for the connection line to pass through.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, a third through-hole for a liquid cooling pipeline to pass through is provided on the first partition.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the method further includes:

[0021] Partition plates, multiple partition plates are arranged in the battery cavity and divide the battery cavity into multiple accommodating cavities suitable for placing battery packs.

[0022] In a second aspect, the present application also provides an energy storage container, comprising: a battery chamber as described above.

[0023] In an optional embodiment, it further includes a power conversion room and a fire fighting room, and the battery room, the power conversion room and the fire fighting room are separated from each other.

[0024] The present application discloses a battery chamber and energy storage container, in which a partition is arranged inside the chamber to separate the chamber into a battery chamber and a working chamber. The battery pack is placed in the battery chamber, and the power control equipment required when using the battery pack, such as the energy storage inverter and the high-voltage box, is arranged in the working chamber. When the battery pack is in use, the power control equipment such as the energy storage inverter and the high-voltage box generates a large amount of heat when operating in the working chamber. Since the battery chamber and the working chamber are separated by a partition, the battery pack located in the battery chamber will not be affected by the large amount of heat generated when the power control equipment is in operation. This prevents the battery pack from being affected by high-temperature environments and causing abnormal operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 , describing the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the one hand, Figure 1As shown, a battery compartment is provided, comprising a chamber and a partition disposed within the chamber. After the frame is covered with a skin, a chamber is formed on the inner side of the skin. The partition is installed within the chamber, dividing it into a battery chamber 1 and a working chamber 2. The battery pack is placed in battery chamber 1, while the power control equipment required for the battery pack, such as the energy storage converter and high-voltage box, is located in working chamber 2.

[0036] With this arrangement, when the battery pack is in use, the power control equipment, such as the energy storage converter and high-voltage box, generates significant heat when operating within working chamber 2. Because the partition separates battery chamber 1 from working chamber 2, the battery pack within chamber 1 is protected from the significant heat generated by the power control equipment. This prevents the battery pack from being affected by high temperatures and causing malfunctions.

[0037] In this way, different cooling devices can be installed for the battery chamber 1 and the working chamber 2, respectively, to cool the battery chamber 1 and the working chamber 2. When the power control device generates a large amount of heat during operation, it is sufficient to cool the higher temperature working chamber 2, without cooling the entire battery chamber, thus reducing cooling costs.

[0038] In some embodiments, the battery compartment further includes a column beam 3. Multiple column beams 3 are sequentially arranged, with a first end of the column beam 3 connected to one inner wall of the battery compartment, and a second end of the column beam 3 connected to the other opposite inner wall of the battery compartment. Thus, the multiple column beams 3 provide support and increase the strength of the battery compartment. The ends of the column beam 3 can be connected to the bottom wall and top wall of the compartment, respectively.

[0039] Specifically, the frame includes a bottom rib beam, a top rib beam and a column beam 3 connected between the bottom rib beam and the top rib beam. A plurality of column beams 3 are arranged in a rectangular array, that is, a plurality of column beams 3 are arranged in sequence along the length and width directions of the battery chamber. The bottom rib beam, the top rib beam and the outermost column beam 3 are all covered with a skin, and a cavity is formed on the inner side of the skin. The bottom rib beam and the covered skin form the bottom wall of the cavity, and the top rib beam and the covered skin form the top wall of the cavity. The first end of each column beam 3 is connected to the top rib beam, and the second end is connected to the bottom rib beam. Thus, each column beam 3 is supported between the bottom wall and the top wall of the cavity, which increases the strength of the battery chamber.

[0040] It is worth noting that the pillar beam 3 can also be arranged front and back with its two ends connected to the front side wall and the rear side wall of the chamber. The pillar beam 3 can also be arranged left and right with its two ends connected to the left side wall and the right side wall of the chamber.

[0041] In a further embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the partition includes a first partition 4 and a second partition 5. A plurality of first partitions 4 and second partitions 5 are provided, and the first partitions 4 and second partitions 5 are spaced one by one, that is, the first first partition 4 is connected to the first side of the first second partition 5, the second first partition 4 is connected to the second side of the first second partition 5, and then the first side of the second second partition 5 is connected to the second first partition 4, and so on, with a second partition 5 connected between every two first partitions 4.

[0042] First partitions 4 are provided with first perforations 6 for the passage and connection of column beams 3, facilitating their placement within the cavity and connection to column beams 3. Thus, each second partition 5 is positioned between two adjacent column beams 3 on the X-axis, with each column beam 3 passing through a corresponding first perforation 6 in the first partition 4. Consequently, the partitions, mounted on the column beams 3, separate the cavity into a battery cavity 1 and a working cavity 2, with the upper side of the partitions serving as the battery cavity 1 and the lower side as the working cavity 2. This arrangement prevents interference between the first partitions 4 and column beams 3.

[0043] After the column beam 3 passes through the first through hole 6 , the outer wall of the column beam 3 and the hole wall of the first through hole 6 can be welded or bonded, or can be set to be tightly fitted, so that the first partition plate 4 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the column beam 3 .

[0044] The first partition 4 can include at least two separately arranged panels. All panels are connected to the second partition 5. A first through-hole 6 for the column beam 3 to pass through is formed between each two adjacent panels. After the column beams 3 pass through the first through-hole 6 one by one, each column beam 3 is located between two adjacent panels.

[0045] In one embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the second partition 5 includes a first clamp 51, a second clamp 52, and a plate 53. For each second partition 5, the plate 53 is disposed between the first clamp 51 and the second clamp 52. A first chute is provided on the side of the first clamp 51 close to the second clamp 52, and a second chute is provided on the side of the second clamp 52 close to the first clamp 51. The side of the first clamp 51 away from the second clamp 52 is connected to an adjacent first partition 4, and the side of the second clamp 52 away from the first clamp 51 is connected to another adjacent first partition 4. In this way, after the first partitions 4 on both sides are connected to the column beam 3 and are at the same height, the first chute and the second chute are arranged opposite each other. At this time, the first side of one end of the plate 53 is inserted into the first chute, and the second side is inserted into the second chute. Then, the plate 53 is pushed in, so that the first side of the entire plate 53 slides along the first chute and is inserted into the first chute, and the second side of the entire plate 53 slides along the second chute and is inserted into the second chute. Thus, the plate body 53 is mounted between the first clamping member 51 and the second clamping member 52 to form the second partition plate 5 .

[0046] Such arrangement is not only more convenient during installation, but also when disassembling the battery pack or the power control device, the plate 53 can be directly pulled out from the second chute and the second chute to obtain a larger operating space.

[0047] As for the connection between the first clamping member 51 and the first partition 4, the side of the first clamping member 51 away from the second clamping member 52 can be welded to the adjacent first partition 4, or fasteners such as screws can be used for connection.

[0048] As for the connection between the second clamping member 52 and the first partition 4, the side of the second clamping member 52 away from the first clamping member 51 can be welded to the adjacent first partition 4, or fasteners such as screws can be used for connection.

[0049] In a further embodiment, Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the plate body 53 includes a first plate body 531 and a second plate body 532. Both sides of the first plate body 531 and the second plate body 532 are inserted into the first slide groove and the second slide groove respectively, and the sides of the first plate body 531 and the second plate body 532 close to each other abut to form the entire plate body 53.

[0050] The first side of the first end of the first plate 531 can be inserted into the first chute, and the second side can be inserted into the second chute. The first plate 531 can be pushed in until the first end of the first plate 531 abuts against the skin and is fixedly connected to that side of the skin. The first side of the first end of the second plate 532 can then be inserted into the first chute, and the second side can be inserted into the second chute. The first plate 531 can be pushed in until the first end of the first plate 531 abuts against the second end of the first plate 531. Thus, the first and second plates 531, 532 abut to form the entire plate 53. This arrangement eliminates the need to disassemble the second plate 532, requiring only the first plate 531 to be installed and removed, making operation more convenient.

[0051] It is worth noting that the side of the cover connected to the first plate 531 should be opposite the battery compartment door. This way, when the battery compartment door is opened, the side of the second plate 532 away from the first plate 531 has space to move, allowing the second plate 532 to be pulled out of the first chute and the allowable chute.

[0052] Furthermore, if the side closest to the first plate 531 is the open side, the second plate 532 is connected to the skin on that side, and the first plate 531 is slidably connected. If the first plate 531 and the second plate 532 are both located on the door opening side, then neither the first plate 531 nor the second plate 532 is connected to the skin on that side.

[0053] As an optional embodiment, Figure 3As shown, a second through-hole 7 is formed in the first partition 4. The partition is placed within the battery compartment, dividing the compartment into a battery chamber 1 and a working chamber 2. The battery pack is placed in battery chamber 1, while the power control equipment required for the battery pack, such as the energy storage converter and high-voltage box, is placed in working chamber 2. The connecting wires between the battery pack and the various power control devices can be passed through the second through-hole 7. This eliminates the need for additional wiring channels, simplifying operation.

[0054] As an optional embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a third through-hole 8 is provided in the first partition 4. The liquid cooling pipeline within the battery chamber can pass through this third through-hole 8. This eliminates the need for additional wiring channels, simplifying operation. Two third through-holes 8 can be provided, allowing the two liquid cooling pipelines, one for the battery chamber 1 and the other for the working chamber 2, to pass through each of these two third through-holes 8, preventing interference between the two liquid cooling pipelines.

[0055] For the third through-hole 8, a slot can be provided on both sides of one end of a panel of the first partition 4, so that the two slots are separated. When the column beam 3 passes through the first through-hole 6 at one end of the panel, the openings of the slots on both sides of the panel at one end abut against the sidewalls of the column beam 3, forming two separated third through-holes 8.

[0056] In one embodiment, the battery compartment further includes a plurality of partition plates, each disposed within the battery cavity 1. The partition plates divide the battery cavity 1 into multiple accommodating chambers, each of which can accommodate a battery pack. This arrangement allows the partition plates to separate the battery packs, ensuring that heating in any one battery pack does not affect other battery packs.

[0057] The partition plate can be any of the above partition plates, or can be other forms of plate-like structures.

[0058] According to an embodiment of the present application, on the other hand, Figure 1 As shown, an energy storage container is also provided.

[0059] As an optional implementation, Figure 1 As shown, the energy storage container further includes a power conversion room 9 and a fire fighting room 10, and the battery room, the power conversion room 9 and the fire fighting room 10 are separated.

[0060] A battery management system is installed in the power conversion room 9, which is responsible for the conversion and distribution of electric energy. It is also used to monitor the battery's charging status, voltage, current and other parameters, and adjust the charging and discharging strategies as needed to optimize energy utilization efficiency and extend battery life.

[0061] Fire room 10 is equipped with fire detection equipment, such as smoke detectors and temperature detectors, to monitor fire hazards inside the container in real time. A fire alarm system is also installed. Upon detecting a fire, it immediately sounds an alarm and notifies relevant personnel to take action. Firefighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers and fire suppression systems, is also available to extinguish fires in their early stages and prevent them from spreading.

[0062] Although the embodiments of the present application are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and such modifications and variations shall fall within the scope defined by the present application.
