The four collection units 11 are arranged in a square on the right side of the main control unit 10. The left side of the top cabinet 8 is respectively provided with a slow charging port 12 and a slow charging indicator light 13. The right side of the bottom wall of the top cabinet 8 is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 14. The interior of the fixed frame 14 is provided with a slow charging charger 15.

[0017] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface of the right side of the base cabinet 1 is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 16, and both sides of the air inlet hole 16 are fixedly connected with fixing rods 17, the inner side of the fixing rods 17 is fixedly connected with a heat dissipation motor 18, and the output end of the heat dissipation motor 18 is fixedly connected with a heat dissipation blade 19.

The heat dissipation blades 19 rotate to blow air toward the nickel-metal hydride battery body 7 to cool it. Then, the hot air is discharged to the outside of the base cabinet 1 through the heat dissipation holes 20, thereby avoiding the nickel-metal hydride battery body 7 from overheating and fire, and improving the safety performance of the battery module.

[0019] refer to Figure 1The wiring group includes DC / DC terminals 22, DC / AC terminals 23, reserved DC / AC terminals 24, reserved hydrogen storage terminals 25, 24V power distribution terminals 26, 24V power aviation plug 38 and external CAN aviation plug 39.
