[0034] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only 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 any creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "height", "thickness", "up", "down", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of this application and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting this application. In the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, and at least one means one, two, or more than two, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0036] It should also be noted that in the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the arrow marked X indicates the first direction X of the support device, the arrow marked Y indicates the second direction Y of the support device, and the arrow marked Z indicates the third direction Z of the support device. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are introduced to more clearly illustrate the structure and relative position relationship of the various components in the support device. In actual application, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z may change depending on the placement of the support device. In the description of this application, "vertical" means completely vertical at 90° or almost completely vertical. For example, an angle within the range of 85°-95° ​​is considered vertical.

[0037] Please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support device of the embodiment of the present application includes a plurality of brackets 1 and a dehumidification component 2. The battery pack 4 is supported between two adjacent brackets 1, and the battery packs 4 are spaced apart along the height direction of the brackets 1. Each bracket 1 has a first channel 110 inside, and the bracket 1 is provided with a first port 111 and a second port 112. The first port 111 and the second port 112 are both connected to the first channel 110, and the dehumidification component 2 is connected to the first port 111. In this embodiment, each bracket 1 is provided with a first channel 110 inside, and correspondingly, each first channel 110 is correspondingly connected to the first port 111 and the second port 112. In some other embodiments, at least part of the bracket 1 is provided with a first channel 110 inside, and the brackets 1 provided with the first channel 110 can be spaced apart to expand the coverage of the first channel 110 to the area where the battery pack 4 is located.

[0038] The dehumidification assembly 2 draws in air from the area where the battery pack 4 is located and dehumidifies it, drying the air. The dried air is then discharged through the first port 111, the first channel 110, and the second port 112. Alternatively, the dehumidification assembly 2 draws air from the first port 111, draws in air from the area where the battery pack 4 is located through the second port 112, the first channel 110, and the first port 111, dehumidifies the air, and then discharges the dried air. Since each bracket 1 has a first channel 110, the number of first channels 110 is increased. Each first channel 110 can drive air flow at the corresponding first port 111 and second port 112. The air flow at multiple locations drives air flow throughout the entire environment, improving air flow. Furthermore, the battery pack 4 is disposed on the bracket 1, forming a staggered arrangement of the first channels 110 and the battery pack 4. This allows dry air to quickly fill the environment where the battery pack 4 is located, improving dehumidification efficiency and reducing the possibility of condensation on the surface of the battery pack 4, thereby enhancing electrical safety.

[0039] In some other embodiments, a supporting member is provided between two adjacent brackets 1. The supporting member and the bracket 1 can be slidably connected or fixedly connected, and the battery pack 4 is placed in the supporting member for easy loading and unloading; the supporting member can be a tray or a drawer, forming a tray-type battery rack or a drawer-type battery rack with the bracket 1.

[0040] Please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the bracket 1 includes a plurality of columns 11 and connecting rods 12. Each column 11 extends along a first direction X, which is the height direction of the bracket 1. The plurality of columns 11 are spaced apart in a second direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first direction X. The connecting rod 12 connects two adjacent columns 11 and is perpendicular to the columns 11. First channels 110 are provided in the columns 11 and the connecting rod 12. The first channels 110 corresponding to the columns 11 extend along the first direction X, and the first channels 110 corresponding to the connecting rod 12 extend along the second direction Y. The first channels 110 in the columns 11 and the first channels 110 in the connecting rod 12 are interconnected. First ports 111 are provided on the columns 11 and / or the connecting rod 12. Each column 11 is provided with a plurality of second ports 112, which are spaced apart in the first direction X of the columns 11.

[0041] The increase in the number of channels and second ports 112 corresponding to each column 11 increases the number of locations where airflow can be driven, further enhancing the air flow within the area where the battery pack 4 is located. Furthermore, due to the increase in the number of locations where airflow flows, its coverage area is expanded, reducing the presence of dehumidification dead corners. In other embodiments, the first channel 110 is disposed within the column 11, the first port 111 and the second port 112 are both disposed on the column 11, and the connecting rod 12 connects two adjacent columns 11. In this case, each column 11 is provided with a corresponding dehumidification assembly 2 to enhance the dehumidification effect brought about by each first channel 110.

[0042] Please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second port 112 is disposed on the side of the column 11 facing the battery pack 4. The airflow path generated by the dehumidification assembly 2 sucking or blowing air through the second port 112 directly passes through the battery pack 4, thereby increasing the airflow drying effect on the battery pack 4.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second port 112 is disposed at the top of the column 11 in the first direction X, forming a structure in which the first channel 110 extends upward through the column 11 along the first direction X. The column 11 is generally manufactured from a hollow profile, such as a square tube or channel aluminum. The placement of the second port 112 at the top of the column 11 reduces the number of holes required on the side of the column 11 and ensures the overall structural strength of the column 11.

[0044] Please combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the support device includes multiple dehumidification components 2, with at least one dehumidification component 2 disposed on each bracket 1, and the first port 111 of each bracket 1 is connected to the dehumidification component 2 disposed thereon. Each dehumidification component 2 has a certain number of first channels 110, which ensures the dehumidification component 2's traction on the airflow and dehumidification effect, reducing the need for high-power dehumidification components 2. In other embodiments, each bracket 1 has multiple first ports 111, each of which can be configured with a dehumidification component 2, or a single dehumidification component 2 can be connected to each of the first ports 111 on the bracket 1.

[0045] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, multiple brackets 1 are arranged at intervals in a third direction Z, which is perpendicular to both the first direction X and the second direction Y. The bracket 1 includes a first end 13 and a second end 14 arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X. The supporting device also includes a beam 3, which is connected to the first end 13 or the second end 14 of each bracket 1 and arranged along the third direction. The beam 3 is provided with a second channel 31 and a third port 32. The second channel 31 extends along the third direction Z. The third port 32 is located on a side of the beam 3 away from the bracket 1 and is connected to the second channel 31. The third port 32 is connected to the first ports 111 of the multiple brackets 1 through the second channel 31. The dehumidification component 2 is connected to each first port 111 through the third port 32 and the second channel 31. The dehumidification component 2 draws the airflow at the third port 32, so that the dried air is transported to each first channel 110 through the second channel 31, and then discharged through each second port 112. Alternatively, the dehumidification component 2 draws the air in the area where the battery pack 4 is located into the corresponding first channel 110 through each second port 112, and then flows from each first channel 110 into the second channel 31 through the first port 111, and then is sucked in by the dehumidification component 2 for dehumidification processing, reducing the number of required dehumidification components 2.

[0046] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the air inlet port of the dehumidification assembly 2 is connected to the first port 111, so that air is drawn into the dehumidification assembly 2 through the second port 112 and the first port 111 for dehumidification. In this connection mode, air can be directly introduced into the dehumidification assembly 2 and fully processed. In particular, when the second port 112 is positioned toward the battery pack 4, the air around the battery pack 4 can be preferentially extracted and dehumidified, thereby improving dehumidification efficiency.

[0047] Alternatively, the air outlet port of the dehumidification component 2 is connected to the first port 111, so that the dehumidified airflow is blown out through the first port 111 and the second port 112. In this connection mode, the dry air can be evenly distributed throughout the environment, and the moist air is blown away, forming air flow and improving the overall dehumidification effect.

[0048] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first port 111 and / or the second port 112 are shaped as a circle, a polygon, or an ellipse. Ports of different shapes can generate different airflow patterns, such as uniformly distributed airflow, directional airflow, and diffused airflow, to meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the dehumidification component 2 includes a dehumidifier or an air-cooled air conditioner. A dehumidifier has high dehumidification efficiency and precise humidity control. The humidity setting can be adjusted as needed, allowing the dehumidifier to maintain an appropriate humidity level in the area where the battery pack 4 is located to ensure normal battery operation and extend its life. An air-cooled air conditioner achieves the purpose of dehumidification by lowering the ambient temperature to reduce humidity. In addition, an air-cooled air conditioner can also provide cooling and ventilation functions, allowing the air-cooled air conditioner to maintain a suitable temperature and air circulation while dehumidifying, helping to maintain normal battery operation.

[0050] Accordingly, an energy storage container provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a container, a battery pack 4, and the support device of the above embodiment. The support device is disposed within the container, and the battery pack 4 is disposed on the support device. This energy storage container can have all the technical features and benefits of the above support device, and will not be further described here.
