[0022] Example

[0023] Combined with attachment Figure 1-2 , a two-way integrated high-voltage box suitable for outdoor energy storage cabinets. The two-way integrated high-voltage box is suitable for outdoor energy storage cabinets and can meet the integration requirements of two battery group current inputs and one current output.

[0024] It includes a box 13, in which are arranged a fuse 1, a shunt 2, a main positive relay 3, a main negative relay 4, a pre-charge relay 5, a pre-charge resistor 6, a circuit breaker 7, an intermediate relay 8, an AC-DC converter 9, a battery cluster management unit 10, an isolating switch 11, a copper bus 12, a panel connector 14, and a battery management unit 15.

[0025] The fuse 1 forms a battery circuit structure with the shunt 2, main positive relay 3, main negative relay 4 and circuit breaker 7. The above components are connected through an internal high-voltage line. The copper busbar 11 directly serves as a carrier of the internal high-voltage line, and the above components are connected through the copper busbar 11.

[0026] The circuit structure of each battery cluster is the same. The fuse 1 and the main positive relay 3 are installed on one copper busbar, and the shunt 2 and the main negative relay 4 are installed on another copper busbar. The copper busbar on which the fuse 1 and the main positive relay 3 are installed, the other copper busbar on which the shunt 2 and the main negative relay 4 are installed, and one end of the circuit breaker 7 is fixed to the box 13, and the other end is connected in parallel to the isolating switch 11.

[0027] The above two battery cluster circuit structures have exactly the same structural composition, and the functions of the components in the battery circuit structure are also the same.

[0028] The fuse 1 is a current protector on the input side of each battery pack in the two-way integrated high-voltage box.

[0029] The shunt 2 is a low-resistance resistor for detecting current at the input side of each battery pack in the two-way integrated high-voltage box.

[0030] The main positive relay 3 and the main negative relay 4 are the positive and negative electrode protection and control elements on the input side of each battery pack of the two integrated high-voltage boxes, and they work after the two copper bars are connected in parallel.

[0031] The circuit breaker 7 is a switch device for closing, carrying and breaking the loop current on the input side of each battery group of the two-way integrated high-voltage box.

[0032] Each cluster of battery circuit structures is provided with a corresponding pre-charging relay 5 and a pre-charging resistor 6. The corresponding pre-charging relay 5 is connected in series with the pre-charging resistor 6 and is electrically connected to the corresponding battery circuit structure. The pre-charging relay 5 and the pre-charging resistor 6 constitute a protection circuit on the input side of each cluster of battery packs in the two-way integrated high-voltage box. When the voltage difference between the two sides exceeds the set value, the control is started and the voltage difference is adjusted to a normal range.

[0033] The intermediate relay 8 is electrically connected to the circuit breakers 7 in the two battery cluster circuit structures respectively. The intermediate relay 8 is a control element that controls the on and off of the two circuit breakers 7 simultaneously through signal transmission.

[0034] The box 13 is connected to high voltage electricity. In daily life, the electricity used is 220V AC, so the box 13 is connected to 220V AC in most cases. Since some components in the box 13 require DC input, an AC-DC converter 9 is provided in the box 13.

[0035] The AC-DC converter 9 is an AC-DC converter that converts the 220V AC power input from the high-voltage box into a 24V DC power supply. The AC-DC converter 9 is electrically connected to the circuit breaker 7, the intermediate relay 8, the battery cluster management unit 10, and the battery management unit 15, and provides 24V power input for the above components.

[0036] The battery cluster management unit 10 is a battery cluster management unit. The battery cluster management unit 10 equipped with the two-way integrated high-voltage box can be divided into a main board battery cluster management unit and a slave board battery cluster management unit. The main board or slave board battery cluster management unit 10 has the same function in its corresponding battery circuit structure. Each battery cluster management unit 10 controls the communication of a cluster of battery packs and the voltage, current, temperature acquisition and high and low voltage control of one input side in the high-voltage box. During installation, the main board battery cluster management unit and the slave board battery cluster management unit can be installed as an integrated structure or as a separate structure with electrical connection. Figure 1 The main board battery cluster management unit and the slave board battery cluster management unit are directly abutted and electrically connected together.

[0037] Compared with the slave board battery cluster management unit, the main board battery cluster management unit also needs to control the circuit breaker 7, the main negative relay 4, the pre-charge relay 5, and the intermediate relay 8. The main board battery cluster management unit can also communicate with the slave board battery cluster management unit and the high-voltage box.

[0038] The battery management unit 15 is a battery management unit and is electrically connected to the mainboard battery cluster management unit 101 . The battery management unit 15 collects voltage and temperature signals of the battery pack and communicates with the battery cluster management unit 10 .

[0039] The isolating switch 11 is a switch device for isolating, connecting, and cutting off the power supply at the output side of the two integrated high-voltage boxes. Both battery cluster circuit structures need to be electrically connected to the isolating switch 11.

[0040] The box body 13 is a high-voltage box outer shell, including a panel, side panels, a bottom plate and a cover plate.

[0041] The panel connector 14 includes high and low voltage connectors, an isolating switch, a signal indicator light, a handle, etc.

[0042] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a two-way integrated high-voltage box suitable for an outdoor energy storage cabinet in this application.

[0043] After the high-voltage current of the two battery packs is input into the two integrated high-voltage boxes, it passes through the overcurrent protection of the fuse 1, the current detection of the shunt 2, the main positive relay 3 and the main negative relay 4, as well as the pre-charge relay 5 and the pre-charge resistor 6 that form the pre-charge circuit. The convergence is completed after the circuit breaker 7 is closed or opened, and the output side is connected to the power supply through the isolation switch 11 and then output to the PCS equipment in a single channel.

[0044] After the low-voltage signals of the two battery packs are input into the two integrated high-voltage boxes, they are collected and communicated via the main BCMU 101 (BCMUMASTER) and the slave BCMU 102 (BCMU SLAVE). Each BCMU 10 controls the communication of one battery pack and the voltage, current, temperature collection and high and low voltage control on one input side of the high-voltage box. The main BCMU 101 controls the circuit breaker 7 and relays 4 / 5 / 8. The main BCMU 101 can communicate with the slave BCMU 102 and the high-voltage box to the outside. The ACDC 9 converts the 220V AC power input from the outside of the high-voltage box into a 24V DC power supply. The ACDC 9 provides 24V power input for the circuit breaker 7, the intermediate relay 8, the BCMU 10, and the BMU 15.

[0045] This patent uses a two-way integrated high-voltage box, which is suitable for outdoor energy storage cabinets with two battery groups, meeting the signal collection and high and low voltage control requirements of the two battery clusters; the two-way integrated high-voltage box completes the integration of two currents inside, and after the convergence is completed, it directly outputs a single channel to the PCS, and no longer needs to go through the convergence processing of equipment such as the convergence cabinet.

[0046] The above is a schematic description of the present invention and its embodiments, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the inventive purpose of the present invention, designs a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
