[0042] The utility model discloses a cabinet, an energy storage device and electrical equipment. The heat dissipation module can be accurately installed on the cabinet, and the installation accuracy of the heat dissipation module is high.

[0043] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features therein may be combined with each other.

[0044] Because the energy people need is highly temporal and spatially dependent, rational energy utilization and improved efficiency require a medium or device that can store one form of energy in the same form or convert it into another, allowing it to be released in a specific form based on future application needs. Currently, the primary method for generating green electricity is to develop green energy sources such as photovoltaics and wind power to replace fossil fuels. However, wind and solar power are generally intermittent and volatile, leading to grid instability, insufficient peak power, and excessive off-peak power. Unstable voltage can also damage power supply. Consequently, insufficient electricity demand or insufficient grid capacity can lead to "wind and solar curtailment." Addressing these issues requires energy storage. This involves converting electrical energy into other forms of energy through physical or chemical means, storing them, and then converting them back into electricity when needed. Simply put, energy storage is like a large "power bank," storing electricity when photovoltaic or wind power is plentiful and releasing it when needed.

[0045] Taking electrochemical energy storage as an example, this solution provides an energy storage device with a group of chemical batteries. The energy storage device mainly uses the chemical elements in the batteries as energy storage media. The charging and discharging process is accompanied by chemical reactions or changes in the energy storage medium. Simply put, the electricity generated by wind and solar energy is stored in the chemical batteries. When the use of external electricity reaches its peak, the stored electricity is released for use, or transferred to places where electricity is scarce for use.

[0046] Currently, energy storage (i.e., energy storage) has a wide range of application scenarios, including power generation side energy storage, grid side energy storage, and power consumption side energy storage. The corresponding types of energy storage devices include:

[0047] (1) Large-scale energy storage power stations applied to wind power and photovoltaic power stations can help renewable energy generation meet grid connection requirements and improve the utilization rate of renewable energy. As a high-quality active / reactive power supply on the power supply side, energy storage power stations can achieve load matching of electricity in time and space, enhance the ability to absorb renewable energy, reduce instantaneous power changes, reduce the impact on the power grid, improve the absorption of new energy generation, and are of great significance in grid system backup, alleviating peak load power supply pressure, and peak and frequency regulation.

[0048] (2) Energy storage containers used on the grid side are mainly used for peak load regulation, frequency regulation, and relief of grid congestion. They can realize peak load shaving and valley filling of electricity load, that is, charging the energy storage battery when the electricity load is low and releasing the stored electricity during the peak load period, thereby achieving a balance between electricity production and consumption;

[0049] (3) Small energy storage cabinets used on the power consumption side, whose main functions are self-generation and self-use of electricity, peak-valley price arbitrage, capacity cost management, and improving power supply reliability. According to different application scenarios, energy storage on the power consumption side can be divided into industrial and commercial energy storage cabinets, household energy storage devices, energy storage charging piles, etc., which are generally used in conjunction with distributed photovoltaics. Industrial and commercial users can use energy storage for peak-valley price arbitrage and capacity cost management. In the power market that implements peak-valley electricity prices, by charging the energy storage system when the electricity price is low and discharging the energy storage system when the electricity price is high, peak-valley electricity price arbitrage is achieved, reducing electricity costs. In addition, industrial enterprises that are subject to two-part electricity prices can use energy storage systems to store energy during low electricity consumption and discharge it during peak load, thereby reducing peak power and the maximum demand reported, and achieving the purpose of reducing capacity electricity charges. Household photovoltaic storage can improve the level of self-generation and self-use of electricity. Due to high electricity prices and poor power supply stability, the demand for household photovoltaic installation is driven. Considering that photovoltaic power generation occurs during the day, while user loads are generally higher at night, deploying energy storage can better utilize photovoltaic power, increasing self-generation and self-consumption while reducing electricity costs. Furthermore, energy storage is required for backup power in areas such as communication base stations and data centers.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 4 , an energy storage device 100 provided in the first embodiment of the present invention includes a cabinet 10 and a heat dissipation module 20, the cabinet 10 includes a base 11, a first limiting member 12 and a second limiting member 13, the base 11 has a receiving groove 111, the receiving groove 111 is extended along the first direction x, the receiving groove 111 has a first end 111a and a second end 111b opposite to each other in the first direction x, the receiving groove 111 is used to accommodate the heat dissipation module 20 that moves from the first end 111a to the second end 111b and enters the receiving groove 111, the first limiting member 12 is provided on the base 11, the first limiting member 12 is located at the second end 111b, and the first limiting member 12 is used to abut against the end of the heat dissipation module 20 that faces the same direction as the second end 111b, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second limiting member 13 includes a limiting portion 13a and a guiding portion 13b. The limiting portion 13a is connected to the first limiting member 12, and the limiting portion 13a extends from the first limiting member 12 along the first direction x to the first end 111a. One side of the limiting portion 13a is used to abut against the side of the heat dissipation module 20 along the second direction y. The guiding portion 13b is connected to the end of the limiting portion 13a away from the first limiting member 12. The guiding portion 13b extends from the limiting portion 13a obliquely to the first direction x to the first end 111a, and gradually away from the side of the limiting portion 13a for abutting against the heat dissipation module 20. The guiding portion 13b is used to provide an installation guide for the heat dissipation module 20 to move from the first end 111a to the second end 111b into the accommodating groove 111 and abut against one side of the limiting portion 13a.

[0052] The first direction x and the second direction y are different directions. The first direction x may be the length direction of the heat dissipation module 20 , and the second direction y may be the width direction of the heat dissipation module 20 , or vice versa. This embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0053] The number of the second limiting member 13 can be one or more, such as Figure 3 As shown, the number of the second limiting members 13 shown in this embodiment is two, and the two second limiting members 13 are arranged at intervals from the first limiting member 12, one of the second limiting members 13 abuts against one side of the heat dissipation module 20 along the second direction y, and the other second limiting member 13 abuts against the other side of the heat dissipation module 20 along the second direction y.

[0054] Each battery module 30 includes a single battery pack or a plurality of battery cells.

[0055] In this embodiment, a first limiting member 12 is provided on the base 11, and the first limiting member 12 is located at the second end 111b of the accommodating groove 111. The first limiting member 12 is used to abut against the end of the heat dissipation module 20 that faces the same direction as the second end 111b, thereby achieving the limitation in the first direction x. At the same time, the limiting portion 13a of the second limiting member 13 is connected to the first limiting member 12, and the end of the limiting portion 13a away from the first limiting member 12 is connected to the guide portion 13b, and the guiding portion 13b is used to tilt from the limiting portion 13a. The guide portion 13b extends toward the first end 111a in the first direction x and is gradually disposed away from the side of the stopper 13a for abutting the heat dissipation module 20. The guide portion 13b is capable of providing installation guidance when the heat dissipation module 20 moves from the first end 111a to the second end 111b into the receiving groove 111 and abuts against one side of the stopper 13a. Furthermore, when one side of the heat dissipation module 20 abuts against the side of the stopper 13a along the second direction y, the stopper 13a can limit the heat dissipation module 20 along the second direction y. In this way, the position of the heat dissipation module 20 within the receiving groove 111 is limited in multiple directions, allowing the heat dissipation module 20 to be accurately installed in the cabinet 10, with high installation precision.

[0056] That is to say, by using the guide part 13b for guidance, when the heat dissipation module 20 is installed in the accommodating groove 111, it can be accurately installed to the position where the two sides of the heat dissipation module 20 respectively abut against the limiting parts 13a of the two second limiting members 13, thereby reducing the operational difficulty of installing the heat dissipation module 20 and the cabinet 10 and improving the installation efficiency.

[0057] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the second limiting member 13 is a sheet metal member and has a first bending portion 131 . The first bending portion 131 is used to form a limiting portion 13a and a guiding portion 13b that are bent and connected to each other.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the energy storage device 100 also includes a plurality of battery modules 30, and the plurality of battery modules 30 are arranged in the cabinet 10. The heat dissipation module 20 is used to connect with the battery modules 30 to dissipate heat for the battery modules 30. In this way, the heat dissipation module 20 can be accurately installed in the cabinet 10, the installation accuracy of the heat dissipation module 20 is high, the accuracy of the connection of the pipes or lines between the battery modules 30 and the heat dissipation module 20 is high, the stress after installation is small, and connection failure can be avoided. For example, when the heat dissipation module 20 is a liquid cooling unit, the pipe for conveying coolant between the liquid cooling unit and the battery module 30 can be accurately docked. When the heat dissipation module 20 is an air cooling unit, the air duct for supplying air between the air cooling unit and the battery module 30 can be accurately docked.

[0059] That is, when the heat dissipation module 20 is installed in the cabinet 10, the first and second position limiters 12 and 13 are used to limit the position. The heat dissipation module 20 can be accurately installed in the cabinet 10 without multiple adjustments, thus avoiding the situation where the installer has difficulty in operating the heavy heat dissipation module 20 and the installation efficiency is low due to multiple adjustments. In addition, the heat dissipation module 20 can be precisely connected to the battery module 30, especially through the pipe connection to achieve cooling and heat dissipation. The pipe connection location has low stress, high connection reliability, and good sealing performance.

[0060] When the heat dissipation module 20 is placed in the receiving groove 111, the bottom of the heat dissipation module 20 rests on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 111. At this point, the heat dissipation module 20 is positioned relative to the cabinet 10 along the height direction z. Furthermore, this embodiment also constrains the heat dissipation module 20 along the second direction y and the first direction x. This allows the heat dissipation module 20 to be positioned in all three degrees of freedom in space, enabling precise installation within the cabinet 10.

[0061] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the base 11 includes a bottom plate 112, a first side plate 113 and a second side plate 114. The first side plate 113 and the second side plate 114 are spaced apart from each other along the second direction y on the bottom plate 112, and are enclosed with the bottom plate 112 to form a receiving groove 111. The bottom plate 112 is used to support the heat dissipation module 20 located in the receiving groove 111.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second position-limiting member 13 further includes a mounting portion 13c, which is connected to the first position-limiting member 12 and extends along the second direction y. The end of the position-limiting member 13a away from the guide portion 13b is connected to the mounting portion 13c, and the projection of the mounting portion 13c on the first position-limiting member 12 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the guide portion 13b on the first position-limiting member 12. Thus, by extending the mounting portion 13c along the second direction y, the mounting portion 13c has a larger connection area with the first position-limiting member 12, thereby improving the connection strength between the first position-limiting member 12 and the second position-limiting member 13. Furthermore, the projection of the mounting portion 13c on the first position-limiting member 12 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the guide portion 13b on the first position-limiting member 12, thereby preventing the mounting portion 13c from interfering with the abutment between the heat dissipation module 20 and the first position-limiting member 12.

[0063] Exemplarily, the second limiting member 13 is a sheet metal member and has a second bending portion 132 . The second bending portion 132 is used to form a limiting portion 13 a and a mounting portion 13 c that are bent and connected to each other.

[0064] Optionally, the first stopper 12 is provided with a heat dissipation window 12a, which is located between the two second stoppers 13. The heat dissipation window 12a is provided corresponding to one end of the liquid cooling assembly along the first direction x that faces the first stopper 12. Thus, by providing the heat dissipation window 12a corresponding to one end of the liquid cooling assembly along the first direction x that faces the first stopper 12, it is possible to prevent the entire surface of the first stopper 12 from abutting one end of the liquid cooling assembly, thereby affecting the heat dissipation of the heat dissipation module 20 itself. Heat generated by the heat dissipation module 20 when cooling the battery module 30 can be dissipated through the heat dissipation window 12a, achieving a better cooling effect.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the heat dissipation module 20 is provided with a second connector 21 at the end facing the same direction as the first end 111a. The cabinet 10 further includes a first connector 14, which is provided on the base 11 and located at the first end 111a. The first connector 14 is detachably connected to the second connector 21. Thus, by detachably connecting the second connector 21 to the first connector 14, the heat dissipation module 20 can be fixed to and separated from the cabinet 10, facilitating maintenance and replacement of the heat dissipation module 20.

[0066] For example, the first connector 14 and the second connector 21 are detachably connected via a fastener 15, and the installation direction of the fastener 15 is the same as the first direction x. Thus, since the installation direction of the fastener 15 is the same as the first direction x, after the heat dissipation module 20 is installed in the receiving groove 111 of the cabinet 10 along the first direction x, the fastener 15 can be connected to the first connector 14 and the second connector 21 from the heat dissipation module 20 along the first direction x away from the first stopper 12, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the first connector 14 and the second connector 21, with relatively low operational difficulty.

[0067] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown, one of the first connector 14 and the second connector 21 is provided with a through hole 14a, and the other is provided with a through slot 21a, and the through slot 21a extends along the second direction y. The fastener 15 passes through the through slot 21a and is connected to the through hole 14a. In this way, on the one hand, the fastener 15 is connected to the through hole 14a and the through slot 21a, so that the first connector 14 and the second connector 21 are detachably connected. On the other hand, the through slot 21a extends along the second direction y, and the position of the through slot 21a and the through hole 14a along the second direction y can change as the position of the heat dissipation module 20 relative to the cabinet 10 along the second direction y changes. Therefore, after the heat dissipation module 20 is respectively abutted against the two second stoppers 13 on both sides along the second direction y, the through hole 14a and the through slot 21a can always be connected by the fastener 15.

[0068] The fasteners 15 may include bolts, screws, rivets, or a combination of bolts and nuts, etc., which may be selected according to the circumstances and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0069] In some embodiments, each first connector 14 includes a first connecting portion 141 and a second connecting portion 142. The first connecting portion 141 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the receiving groove 111 along the second direction y and extends along the first direction x. The second connecting portion 142 is connected to the first connecting portion 141 and extends from the first connecting portion 141 along the second direction y away from the inner sidewall of the receiving groove 111. The second connecting portion 142 is detachably connected to the second connector 21. In this way, by disposing the first connecting portion 141 in the receiving groove 111 and the second connecting portion 142 extending along the second direction y, second connecting portions 142 with different extension lengths can be used according to heat dissipation modules 20 of different widths, thereby ensuring accurate connection between the second connector 21 and the second connecting portion 142 of the heat dissipation module 20.

[0070] Exemplarily, the first connecting member 14 is a sheet metal member, and the first connecting member 14 has a third bending portion 14 b , which is used to form a first connecting portion 141 and a second connecting portion 142 that are bent and connected to each other.

[0071] Optionally, the first connector 14 is detachably mounted on the base 11. Thus, by virtue of the first connector 14 being detachable relative to the base 11, when the size of the heat dissipation module 20 along the second direction y varies, the first connector 14 of different sizes can be promptly replaced to match the size of the heat dissipation module 20 in the second direction y.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cabinet 10 further includes a fixing member 16, which is disposed on the base 11 and located at the first end 111a. The first connector 14 is disposed on a side of the fixing member 16 that is away from the inner sidewall of the accommodating groove 111 along the second direction y. Thus, on the one hand, by providing the fixing member 16 and utilizing the fixing member 16 to position the first connector 14, the first connector 14 can be installed in the accommodating groove 111. On the other hand, utilizing the dimension of the fixing member 16 along the second direction y can reduce the dimension of the first connector 14 along the second direction y, resulting in a higher structural strength of the first connector 14 and a lower risk of deformation. This provides for a more stable connection between the second connector 21 of the heat dissipation module 20 and the first connector 14.

[0073] In addition, the first connecting member 14 is fixedly connected to the accommodating groove 111 through the fixing member 16, and the heat dissipation module 20 is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 14 through the second connecting member 21, so that the heat dissipation module 20 can be fixedly installed to the accommodating groove 111, thereby improving the connection reliability between the heat dissipation module 20 and the cabinet 10.

[0074] Exemplarily, the cabinet 10 includes a plurality of first connectors 14, which are spaced apart along the second direction y within the receiving groove 111. A plurality of second connectors 21 are provided at one end of the heat dissipation module 20 facing away from the first stopper 12. The plurality of second connectors 21 are spaced apart along the second direction y, and the plurality of second connectors 21 extend away from the heat dissipation module 20 along the second direction y and are detachably connected to the plurality of first connectors 14. Thus, through the detachable connection between the plurality of first connectors 14 and the plurality of second connectors 21, the connection strength between the heat dissipation module 20 and the cabinet 10 is high, and the stability is excellent.

[0075] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is shown that two first connecting members 14 cooperate with two second connecting members 21. In some other embodiments, the number of the first connecting members 14 and the second connecting members 21 can also be three, four, five, etc., which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
