[0029] The present invention will be described in further detail below based on the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.
[0030] In this specification, directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom, which are mentioned or may be mentioned, are defined relative to the configurations shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms "inside" and "outside" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. These are relative concepts and may vary depending on the location and usage of the component. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be construed as restrictive.
[0031] This embodiment provides an integrated box-type energy storage cabinet. Figures 1 and 2 , comprising a cabinet 1, a plurality of battery cluster units 2, a plurality of PCS modules 3 and a plurality of high-voltage boxes 4, the cabinet 1 defines an installation chamber with at least one side open, the interior of the installation chamber is divided by a partition 13 to form a first chamber 11 and a second chamber 12 distributed along a first direction, when the cabinet 1 is Figure 1When placed in the direction of , the first direction refers to the left and right direction of the cabinet 1, and the second direction refers to the up and down direction of the cabinet 1. Multiple PCS modules 3 are installed in the second chamber 12 and are stacked along the second direction. Multiple battery cluster units 2 are arranged in the first chamber 11. One battery cluster unit 2 includes multiple battery packs 21 connected in series, and each PCS module 3 is electrically connected to one battery cluster unit 2. Multiple high-voltage boxes 4 are arranged in the first chamber 11. One high-voltage box 4 is electrically connected to the corresponding PCS module 3 and the battery cluster unit 2. When a battery pack 21 in the cabinet 1 is damaged, the corresponding battery cluster unit 2 will not be able to operate normally, but the other battery cluster units 2 can still operate normally, thereby greatly improving the working stability of the energy storage cabinet.
[0032] During actual connection, the PCS module 3, the high-voltage box 4 and the battery cluster unit 2 are electrically connected in sequence. Since the partition 13 divides the internal space of the cabinet 1 into two parts, the battery cluster unit 2 and the PCS module 3 are respectively arranged in the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12, thereby avoiding interference between the battery cluster unit 2 and the PCS module 3.
[0033] Furthermore, multiple battery packs 21 of a battery cluster unit 2 are stacked along the second direction, which is convenient for wiring adjacent battery packs 21 in a battery cluster unit 2. The battery pack 21 includes a first connector 21a and a second connector 21b, and the first connector 21a and the second connector 21b are distributed along the second direction. Two adjacent battery packs 21 in a battery cluster unit 2 are connected by a connecting cable 22. One end of the connecting cable 22 is connected to the first connector 21a, and the other end is connected to the second connector 21b. Specifically, the first connector 21a is the negative pole of the battery pack 21, and the second connector 21b is the positive pole of the battery pack 21. The two connectors have the same specifications, and the connecting cable 22 and the first connector 21a and the second connector 21b are all pluggable, which is convenient for connection. When the energy storage cabinet is operating, if one of the battery packs 21 of the battery cluster unit 2 becomes abnormal, the battery packs 21 on the upper and lower sides of the abnormal battery pack 21 can be directly connected in series through the connecting cable 22, thereby isolating the abnormal battery pack 21. That is, the abnormal battery pack 21 can be repaired without affecting the normal operation of the energy storage cabinet, which helps to improve the stability of the energy storage cabinet.
[0034] In this embodiment, the high-voltage box 4 is arranged below the battery pack 21, and the high-voltage box 4 is installed close to the PCS module 3, which facilitates the electrical connection between the high-voltage box 4 and the PCS module. In addition, it can also enable multiple battery cluster units 2, multiple PCS modules 3 and multiple high-voltage boxes 4 to be assembled compactly, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the cabinet 1.
[0035] In addition, a liquid cooling unit 5 is provided in the first chamber 11. The liquid cooling unit 5 includes a liquid cooling machine 51 and a liquid cooling pipeline 52 connected to the liquid cooling machine 51. The liquid cooling pipeline 52 is distributed on the battery pack 21. The battery pack 21 is cooled by liquid cooling, and the heat dissipation efficiency is high.
[0036] Furthermore, the first chamber 11 includes a first installation chamber 11a and a second installation chamber 11b distributed along the second direction. The first installation chamber 11a is arranged above the second installation chamber 11b. Multiple battery cluster units 2 and the high-voltage box 4 are arranged in the first installation chamber 11a, and the liquid cooling unit 5 is arranged in the second installation chamber 11b. That is, the battery cluster unit 2 and the liquid cooler 51 are arranged in different chambers. On the one hand, it is convenient to manage the two, and on the other hand, it can reduce the heat generated by the liquid cooler 51 during operation to affect the temperature of the battery pack 21.
[0037] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 4 The partition 13 is provided with a connection hole 13a, which connects the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12. That is, the PCS module 3 and the corresponding high-voltage box 4 can be connected through the connection hole 13a. At the same time, a plurality of connection holes 13a are provided, and the connection holes 13a are arranged along the second direction of the cabinet 1. Each PCS module 3 corresponds to at least one connection hole 13a. That is, each PCS module 3 is provided with an independent connection hole 13a for line connection. On the one hand, this facilitates the line connection between the PCS module 3 and the corresponding high-voltage box 4, which can reduce wiring errors. On the other hand, when a PCS module 3 fails, the specific line and connection hole 13a can be quickly located, facilitating troubleshooting.
[0038] In this embodiment, the lower end of the cabinet body 1 is further provided with running wheels, so that the staff can easily move the cabinet body 1, thereby improving the convenience of use of the energy storage cabinet.
