Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of batteries, in particular to a copper bar connection structure of a combiner cabinet. Background Art
[0002] The combiner cabinet is a crucial component of the energy storage system, primarily facilitating the interaction between the AC and DC sides. The energy storage system's charging and discharging is performed through the combiner cabinet. Specifically, the power lines from the cluster management box converge at the combiner cabinet, which connects to the UPS, which in turn connects to an external power source or load. This allows the energy storage system to exchange energy with the outside world.
[0003] As the number of battery clusters increases, the number of power harnesses in the cluster management box also increases, and their weight increases, resulting in increased stress on the connection points in the junction box. Under conditions of transportation vibration, the harness connections are prone to loosening or even falling off. In severe cases, loose or falling harnesses can easily come into contact with other metals, causing short circuits and burning equipment, resulting in the failure of the energy storage system and the inability to perform normal charging and discharging.
