DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] In the process of assembling the direct cooling machine 1 and the battery cabinet 2, when the direct cooling machine 1 is placed into the battery cabinet 2, the operator needs to manually adjust the position of the direct cooling machine 1 to make the pipe joints of the direct cooling machine 1 correspond to the pipe joints of the battery cabinet 2, and then manually operate the pipe joints to connect the two. Due to the position and number of the pipe joints of the direct cooling machine 1 and the pipe joints of the battery cabinet 2, the connection and disconnection process is complicated and difficult when installing or disassembling the direct cooling machine 1 for maintenance, which affects the work efficiency.

[0040] In view of the above problems, referring to Figures 1-7 , a quick installation structure of a direct cooling machine 1 is provided for connecting the pipe of the direct cooling machine 1 and the pipe of the battery cabinet 2. The direct cooling machine 1 is arranged in the battery cabinet 2. The first joint 3 is arranged on the direct cooling machine 1. The second joint 4 is arranged on the battery cabinet 2. The second joint 4 on the battery cabinet 2 serves as the total joint for connecting the direct cooling machine 1. The second joint 4 on the battery cabinet 2 is connected to the direct cooling plate in the battery cabinet 2 through multiple pipe branches, so as to realize direct heat exchange of the battery by the direct cooling plate.

[0041] The number of the first joint 3 and the number of the second joint 4 are equal and at least two, for example, the number of the first joint 3 and the number of the second joint 4 are two. The first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are one-to-one corresponding and communicating, so that the refrigerant discharged from the direct cooling machine 1 can enter the direct cooling plate through the connection channel formed by one set of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4, and then flow back to the direct cooling machine 1 through the connection channel formed by another set of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4, so as to realize the circulation of the refrigerant.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the first joint 3 is a male joint, and the second joint 4 is a female joint. Of course, in another specific embodiment, the first joint 3 can also be a female joint, and the second joint 4 can also be a male joint. The setting mode of the male joint and the female joint on the direct cooling machine 1 and the battery cabinet 2 can be determined according to actual needs. The following example describes the first joint 3 as a male joint and the second joint 4 as a female joint.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4Further, a guide structure 5 is provided, one part of the guide structure 5 is arranged on the battery cabinet 2, and the other part is arranged on the direct cooling machine 1, the two parts of the guide structure 5 are used in cooperation, and the direct cooling machine 1 is guided by the guide structure 5 when moving on the battery cabinet 2, so that the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are aligned to be connected. In this way, during the installation of the direct cooling machine 1, the operator inserts the direct cooling machine 1 into the battery cabinet 2, and during the initial stage of the direct cooling machine 1 being inserted into the battery cabinet 2, the guide structure 5 limits the direct cooling machine 1, so that the projection of the first joint 3 on the wall surface of the battery cabinet 2 provided with the second joint 4 coincides with the second joint 4. During the movement of the direct cooling machine 1 along the guide direction of the guide structure 5 (i.e. the installation direction of the direct cooling machine 1), under the limiting action of the guide structure 5 on the direct cooling machine 1, the positions of the first joint 3 on the direct cooling machine 1 and the second joint 4 on the battery cabinet 2 are always aligned, the direct cooling machine 1 carrying the first joint 3 moves synchronously and gradually approaches the second joint 4, and after the direct cooling machine 1 moves to the installation position, the first joint 3 is synchronously sent into the second joint 4 to realize connection. During the entire process, the operation of moving the direct cooling machine 1 to the installation position is simple, and after the direct cooling machine 1 moves to the installation position, the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are connected, the time consumed for adjusting the position of the direct cooling machine 1 is shortened, and the time consumed for assembling the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 one by one is removed, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the direct cooling machine 1.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 The first joint 3 and the second joint 4 described above are quick plug connectors, which are usually composed of a female connector and a male connector in a plug-in combination, and sealing is realized through a sealing mechanism. Such connectors utilize their special design to achieve sealing performance through plug-in action without the need for additional threads or other fixing devices, ensuring the rapidity and reliability of the connection. In one specific embodiment, at least one sealing ring is sleeved on the outer wall of the first joint 3 along the length direction of the first joint 3, preferably two sealing rings, and the inner diameter of the second joint 4 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first joint 3. During the installation of the direct cooling machine 1, the operator drives the direct cooling machine 1 to move along the installation direction, the direct cooling machine 1 drives the first joint 3 to move, the first joint 3 enters the second joint 4 from the opening side of the second joint 4, and the sealing ring is pressed between the outer wall of the first joint 3 and the inner wall of the second joint 4. Under this arrangement, if the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 do not displace along the plug-in direction (i.e. the installation direction and the opposite direction of the installation direction), the sealing ring can ensure the sealed connection of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4, and further ensure the sealed connection of the pipeline of the direct cooling machine 1 and the pipeline of the battery cabinet 2. Of course, other structures of quick plug connectors can also be used to realize the sealed connection function of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4.

[0045] In one embodiment, a limiting structure is arranged in the second joint 4, which can limit the movement of the first joint 3, i.e. after the first joint 3 is inserted into the second joint 4 and moves a certain distance, the limiting structure limits the movement of the first joint 3, at this time, the operator can determine that the straight cooling machine 1 is installed in place according to the increase of the pushing resistance of the straight cooling machine 1 and the relative position of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4. This setting makes the operation process of installing the straight cooling machine 1 simple and convenient.

[0046] Specifically, the second joint 4 includes a connecting sleeve segment and a reducing segment, the inner wall of the sleeve segment is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first joint 3, and the inner diameter of the reducing segment is smaller than the outer diameter of the first joint 3. The sleeve segment of the second joint 4 is used to sleeve the first joint 3 and the sealing ring arranged thereon, to realize the sealed connection of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4. The reducing segment is connected to the side of the sleeve segment of the second joint 4 away from the first joint 3, and the reducing segment is used as a limiting structure. When the reducing segments of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 contact, the inner diameter of the second joint 4 changes, which blocks the first joint 3 from moving along the installation direction, and then determines that the straight cooling machine 1 is in place and the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are effectively connected.

[0047] Alternatively, in addition to the second joint 4 including the reducing segment to form the limiting structure, the limiting structure can also be a first protruding structure fixed on the outer wall of the second joint 4. Correspondingly, a second protruding structure matched with the first protruding structure is fixed on the outer wall of the first joint 3. After the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are inserted in place, the first protruding structure and the second protruding structure block each other, which limits the movement of the straight cooling machine 1, and then determines that the straight cooling machine 1 is in place and the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are effectively connected. The first protruding structure and the second protruding structure described above are one or more of a protruding point, a protruding plate, and a protruding ring.

[0048] Preferably, referring to Figure 5 , Figure 6Due to the limitations of the direct cooler 1 and battery cabinet 2 structures, as well as the first and second joints 3 and 4 structures, under certain operating conditions, the operator's line of sight is obstructed during the insertion of the direct cooler 1 into the battery cabinet 2, making it impossible to observe the relative positions of the first and second joints 3 and 4 in real time. This also requires redesigning the structures of the first and second joints 3 and 4, increasing the cost of use. Therefore, a blocking member 6 is also provided, at least a portion of which is disposed on the battery cabinet 2. When the first and second joints 3 and 4 are sealed together, the blocking member 6 limits the movement of the direct cooler 1 along the installation direction. This eliminates the need to observe the relative positions of the first and second joints 3 and 4 in real time, or to redesign the structures of the first and second joints 3 and 4. The blocking member 6 cooperates with the direct cooler 1 to determine whether the direct cooler 1 is installed in place, whether the first and second joints 3 and 4 are in the preferred connection positions, and to limit the position of the direct cooler 1 and the first joint 3 in the installation direction, thereby preventing over-insertion or under-insertion of the first and second joints 3 and 4, and thus preventing poor connection between the first and second joints 3 and 4, which could affect the sealing performance of the pipeline.

[0049] Specifically, when the blocking member 6 restricts the movement of the direct cooler 1 along the installation direction, the direct cooler 1 is in place inside the battery cabinet 2, and the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are in an effectively sealed connection. At this time, the blocking member 6 blocks the direct cooler 1 to prevent the direct cooler 1 from continuing to move along the installation direction and causing the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 to be over-inserted, resulting in structural damage to the first joint 3 and the second joint 4, affecting the service life and sealing performance. Alternatively, when the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are sealed, the direct cooler 1 has not yet been in place inside the battery cabinet 2. At this time, the direct cooler 1 can still move along the installation direction to prevent the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 from being under-inserted, causing the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 to be easily detached, affecting the sealing performance.

[0050] In one possible implementation, referring to Figure 6 The blocking member 6 is provided with two parts, including a first blocking portion 61 and a second blocking portion 62. The first blocking portion 61 is connected to the direct cooler 1, and the second blocking portion 62 is connected to the battery cabinet 2. When the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are sealed, the first blocking portion 61 and the second blocking portion 62 are close to each other and abutted. In this way, when the direct cooler 1 moves on the battery cabinet 2, the direct cooler 1 drives the first blocking portion 61 to move synchronously. The second blocking portion 62 on the battery cabinet 2 blocks the first blocking portion 61, limiting the first blocking portion 61 from continuing to move toward the second blocking portion 62, thereby limiting the direct cooler 1 from continuing to move. This makes it simple and convenient to determine whether the direct cooler 1 has been installed in place and that the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 have been sealed.

[0051] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2The battery cabinet 2 is provided with a containing cavity 21 for containing the direct cooling machine 1. The first blocking part 61 is fixed to the outer wall of the shell of the direct cooling machine 1 and extends towards the inner wall of the containing cavity 21. Correspondingly, the second blocking part 62 is fixed to the inner wall of the containing cavity 21 and extends towards the direct cooling machine 1, and the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 are in position correspondence. In this way, when the direct cooling machine 1 moves in the containing cavity 21 along the installation direction, the second blocking part 62 can contact and block the first blocking part 61.

[0052] The first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 are at least one. The first blocking part 61 can be arranged on the left and right side walls of the outer wall of the shell of the direct cooling machine 1. Of course, it can also be arranged on the upper and lower side walls of the outer wall of the shell of the direct cooling machine 1, or on all four outer walls of the shell of the direct cooling machine 1. The position of the second blocking part 62 in the containing cavity 21 corresponds to the position of the first blocking part 61. The first blocking part 61 is one or more of a blocking plate, a blocking block, and a blocking column. The second blocking part 62 is one or more of a blocking plate, a blocking block, and a blocking column. The first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 are arranged as one or more blocking structures to meet different use requirements.

[0053] Further, referring to Figure 7 The direct cooling machine 1 or the first blocking part 61 of the direct cooling machine 1 is provided with a push-pull part 9. The push-pull part 9 is one of a handle, a push-pull rod, and the like. The push-pull part 9 is preferably arranged on the first blocking part 61. An operator can conveniently drive the direct cooling machine 1 to move along the installation direction or the reverse direction of the installation direction by contacting the push-pull part 9, so as to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the direct cooling machine 1.

[0054] In a feasible implementation manner, referring to Figure 6 Further, the fixing member 7 is connected and fixed to the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62. In this way, after the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 abut against the direct cooling machine 1 to the position, the fixing member 7 is used to fix the direct cooling machine 1 and the battery cabinet 2, so as to limit the movement of the direct cooling machine 1 relative to the battery cabinet 2, so that the direct cooling machine 1 cannot move along the installation direction or the reverse direction of the installation direction, the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 in sealed connection cannot be separated, and the sealing performance is ensured. The fixing member 7 is a connecting and fixing structure such as a bolt or a screw. Taking the example that the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 are both plate structures, i.e., the first blocking part 61 is a first blocking plate and the second blocking part 62 is a second blocking plate. Screw holes 8 are pre-formed on the first blocking plate and the second blocking plate. When the first blocking plate and the second blocking plate abut against each other, the bolt is arranged on the first blocking plate and the second blocking plate through the screw holes 8 to fix the first blocking plate and the second blocking plate. This connecting mode is simple to install and has high connection strength.

[0055] Alternatively, in addition to using the fixing member 7 to secure the first and second blocking portions 61, 62 to secure the direct cooler 1 to the battery cabinet 2, the fixing member 7 can also be a separately provided fixing structure, with the first and second blocking portions 61, 62 cooperating to limit movement of the direct cooler 1 only in the installation direction. For example, a corner bracket is installed on the direct cooler 1, and fixing holes are pre-opened in the corner bracket and the battery cabinet 2. The fixing member 7 is passed through the fixing holes of the corner bracket on the direct cooler 1 and the fixing holes in the battery cabinet 2 to secure the direct cooler 1 to the battery cabinet 2. In this way, the position and number of the corner brackets on the direct cooler 1 and the battery cabinet 2 can be set according to actual needs to meet different usage requirements.

[0056] During the process of placing the direct cooler 1 into the battery cabinet 2, the guide structure 5 guides the direct cooler 1. Under some working conditions, after the direct cooler 1 is in place, the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are connected. Due to the installation error of the direct cooler 1, the direct cooler 1 may be slightly misaligned relative to the installation position, resulting in the misalignment of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4, which reduces the sealing connection performance of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4. Therefore, a positioning structure is also provided. The positioning structure is provided on the first blocking portion 61 and the second blocking portion 62. When there is an error in the direct cooler 1 relative to the installation position, the direct cooler 1 can be positioned by the positioning structure so that the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are aligned. In this way, after the first blocking portion 61 and the second blocking portion 62 abut, the positioning structure is used to re-position the position of the direct cooler 1 to ensure the sealing connection performance of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4.

[0057] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 , the screw holes 8 respectively provided on the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 serve as positioning structures, and the screw holes 8 are preferably waist-shaped holes. After the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 abut, the operator can judge the installation position of the direct cooler 1 according to the positions of the two corresponding waist-shaped holes on the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62. Specifically, when the two waist-shaped holes are not misaligned, it is judged that the direct cooler 1 is in the correct installation position, and then the operation steps of fixing the direct cooler 1 and the battery cabinet 2 can be performed. When the two waist-shaped holes are misaligned, the position of the direct cooler 1 is manually adjusted to align the two waist-shaped holes, and the direct cooler 1 drives the position of the first joint 3 to adjust, ensuring the sealing connection performance of the first joint 3 and the second joint 4. The above-mentioned aligned waist-shaped holes can be used as a passage for the fixing part 7. After the two waist-shaped holes are aligned, the fixing part 7 is used to fix the direct cooler 1 and the battery cabinet 2. Under the above setting, the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 cooperate to not only limit and position the direct cooler 1, but also fix the direct cooler 1 and the battery cabinet 2, so that the direct cooler 1 and the battery cabinet 2 are accurately positioned and easy to assemble.

[0058] In another specific embodiment, in addition to the above-mentioned manner, the positioning structure can also be at least one top post, one of the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 is provided with the top post, and the other is provided with a positioning slot corresponding to the top post. For example, the second blocking part 62 is provided with a top post protruding towards the first blocking part 61, and the first blocking part 61 is provided with a positioning slot. When the direct cooling machine 1 moves along the mounting direction and before reaching the mounting position (at this time, it is preferred that the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are not connected), the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 are limited by the top post passing through the positioning slot, so that the first blocking part 61 moves along the top post in the mounting direction. In this way, the direct cooling machine 1 is limited by the guide structure 5 and the top post before the first blocking part 61 and the second blocking part 62 abut, so that the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 are directly aligned, the alignment error is reduced, and subsequent adjustment of the position of the direct cooling machine 1 to cause the first joint 3 and the second joint 4 to be loose is avoided, which affects the sealing connection performance.

[0059] In a feasible implementation manner, referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 , the direct cooling machine 1 can be roughly guided by the second blocking part 62 when moving on the battery cabinet 2. In this arrangement, two second blocking parts 62 are provided, and the two second blocking parts 62 are arranged on both sides of the direct cooling machine 1. Alternatively, one second blocking part 62 is provided, and the second blocking part 62 and the inner wall of the accommodation chamber 21 corresponding to the second blocking part 62 cooperate to limit the direct cooling machine 1, still having the function of guiding the direct cooling machine 1. In this way, the second blocking part 62 can be used as a guide component, and the guide component and the guide structure 5 are used in cooperation to further improve the guiding accuracy of the direct cooling machine 1.

[0060] In a feasible implementation manner, a gap is provided between the second blocking part 62 and the shell of the direct cooling machine 1, and the second blocking part 62 is not easy to realize the guiding function. The guide structure 5 is a sliding rail assembly used in cooperation, the inner wall of the accommodation chamber 21 is fixed with a guide rail, and the direct cooling machine 1 is fixed with a sliding seat adapted to the guide rail. The sliding seat and the guide rail cooperate to enable the direct cooling machine 1 to move along the extension direction of the guide rail, thereby realizing the guiding function of the direct cooling machine 1. The sliding rail assembly has the advantage of accurate guiding of the direct cooling machine 1. In another embodiment, the guide structure 5 is a protrusion and a groove used in cooperation, one of the outer wall of the direct cooling machine 1 and the inner wall of the accommodation chamber 21 is provided with a protrusion, and the other is provided with a groove. The guiding function of the direct cooling machine 1 is realized by the mutual clamping of the protrusion and the groove. By using the cooperation mode of the protrusion and the groove, the space occupied by the guide structure 5 is reduced, the volume of the accommodation chamber 21 is reduced, and the use cost is reduced.

[0061] Alternatively, in addition to the above-mentioned slide rail assembly and protrusion-groove matching, the guiding structure 5 can also directly adapt the shape of the accommodating cavity 21 of the battery cabinet 2 to the shape of the direct-cooling machine 1, so that the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 21 matches the shell of the direct-cooling machine 1 to form the guiding structure 5. When the guiding structure 5 is formed by matching the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 21 with the shell of the direct-cooling machine 1, it can be understood that, when the second blocking part 62 is located in the accommodating cavity 21, the shape of the direct-cooling machine 1 is adapted to the shape of the second blocking part 62 protruding from the accommodating cavity 21, for example, when the second blocking part 62 is arranged on the left and right sides of the direct-cooling machine 1, the height / thickness of the direct-cooling machine 1 is adapted to the height / thickness of the accommodating cavity 21, and the distance between the two second blocking parts 62 is adapted to the width of the direct-cooling machine 1. When the second blocking part 62 is located outside the accommodating cavity 21, the shape of the direct-cooling machine 1 is adapted to the shape of the accommodating cavity 21, the height / thickness of the direct-cooling machine 1 is adapted to the height / thickness of the accommodating cavity 21, and the width of the accommodating cavity 21 is adapted to the width of the direct-cooling machine 1. In this way, the accommodating cavity 21 does not need to be additionally provided with a slide rail assembly structure, or the accommodating cavity 21 and the shell of the direct-cooling machine 1 need to be redesigned to reserve protrusions and grooves, thereby reducing the use cost and reducing the volume of the accommodating cavity 21.

[0062] Alternatively, in addition to the above-mentioned two guiding structures 5 being used alone, the two guiding structures 5 can also be used in combination, that is, the shape of the accommodating cavity 21 of the battery cabinet 2 is adapted to the shape of the direct-cooling machine 1 and the protrusion-groove structure is arranged, thereby reducing the volume of the accommodating cavity 21 and improving the guiding accuracy of the direct-cooling machine 1.

[0063] In a second aspect, a direct-cooling machine 1 is provided, which includes at least two first joints 3 according to any one of the above-mentioned first joints 3. The two first joints 3 and the two second joints 4 on the battery cabinet 2 are used in correspondence, so as to ensure that the direct-cooling plates in the direct-cooling machine 1 and the battery cabinet 2 form a refrigerant loop.

[0064] In a third aspect, an energy storage container is provided, which includes a battery cabinet 2 and a quick mounting structure of a direct-cooling machine 1, and the direct-cooling machine 1 is connected to the battery cabinet 2 through the quick mounting structure of the direct-cooling machine 1. Alternatively, the energy storage container includes the direct-cooling machine 1 and the battery cabinet 2.

[0065] In a feasible implementation manner, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The shell of the battery cabinet 2 includes a pair of first plate bodies arranged oppositely and a pair of second plate bodies arranged oppositely, and the pair of first plate bodies and the pair of second plate bodies cooperatively enclose a circumferential side wall of the shell. One of the first plate bodies is provided with a mounting window, and the second joint 4 is arranged on the other first plate body. The first plate body provided with the mounting window faces the direction of the other first plate body, and the direction is the mounting direction of the direct-cooling machine 1.
