Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a side-mounted stacked battery module. Background Technology

[0002] Using batteries as an energy source provides a stable voltage, stable current, and long-term stable power supply with minimal external influence. Furthermore, batteries have a simple structure, are easy to carry, and are simple to charge and discharge. They are unaffected by external climate and temperature, and their performance is stable and reliable, playing a significant role in all aspects of modern life.

[0003] Most stacked batteries on the market use a rear-side wiring method, requiring users to connect the wires themselves. The wiring harness is mostly exposed on the outside, which fails to meet the requirements for indoor installation in terms of both safety and aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to address the issue that most existing stacked batteries use rear-side wiring, requiring users to connect the wires themselves, with exposed wiring harnesses, which fails to meet the requirements for indoor installation in terms of both safety and aesthetics. To address this, a side-mounted stacked battery module should be provided.

[0005] A side-mounted stacked battery module includes a main body and an energy storage body. The main body includes a housing and a transformer disposed within the housing. The energy storage body includes a shell, a stacking cover fixedly connected to the shell, and an energy storage module disposed inside the shell. The stacking cover includes a cover plate portion and an upper extension portion connected to the cover plate portion. A limiting groove is provided at the connection between the upper extension portion and the cover plate portion. The lower end of the housing is inserted into the limiting groove to realize the stacking between the main body and the energy storage body. A quick-connect interface is provided on the cover plate portion. The quick-connect interface is electrically connected to the energy storage module. The transformer is connected to a quick-connect connector adapted to the quick-connect interface.

[0006] In the aforementioned side-mounted stacked battery module, the lower end of the housing is inserted into the limiting groove, and the outer wall of the upper extension abuts against the inner wall of the housing. A quick-connect interface is provided on the cover plate. The quick-connect plug of the transformer is inserted into the quick-connect interface to complete the connection between the transformer and the energy storage module. This makes it easier for users to wire the cables themselves and ensures that the wiring harness is not exposed to the outside, reducing the risk of accidental contact by users. This effectively improves the safety performance of this side-mounted stacked battery module and meets indoor safety requirements. In addition, the main body and the energy storage body are stacked vertically, which effectively reduces the footprint and increases the application scenarios of this side-mounted stacked battery module.

[0007] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the upper extension abuts against the inner wall of the housing.

[0008] In one embodiment, the stacked cover further includes a lower extension connected to the cover plate portion, the lower extension being disposed at the end of the cover plate portion away from the upper extension portion, and the inner wall of the lower extension abutting against the outer wall of the outer casing.

[0009] In one embodiment, there are two energy storage units, with the lower end of the outer shell of the previous energy storage unit inserted into the limiting groove of the next energy storage unit, and the two energy storage units stacked in the vertical direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the energy storage module of the aforementioned energy storage body is connected to the quick-connect connector.

[0011] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the outer shell of the previous energy storage body abuts against the outer wall of the upper extension of the next energy storage body.

[0012] In one embodiment, the energy storage body further includes a battery control chip, which is fixedly connected to the cover plate, the energy storage module is electrically connected to the battery control chip, and the quick-connect interface is electrically connected to the battery control chip.

[0013] In one embodiment, the energy storage device further includes a switch disposed on the housing and electrically connected to the battery control chip.

[0014] In one embodiment, the main body further includes a top cover, which is located at the end of the housing away from the energy storage body, and the top cover is provided with a handle.

The inner wall of the outer shell 21 of the previous energy storage body 20 abuts against the outer wall of the upper extension 222 of the next energy storage body 20. The bolt passes through the mounting hole 212 of the previous energy storage body 20 and engages with the upper screw hole 225 of the next energy storage body 20. The outer shell 21 of the previous energy storage body 20 is fixedly connected to the stacking cover 22 of the next energy storage body 20.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cover plate 221 is provided with a quick-connect interface 226, which is electrically connected to the energy storage module 23. The quick-connect connector is inserted into the quick-connect interface 226, thereby allowing the transformer 12 to be electrically connected to the energy storage module 23. The energy storage module 23 of the previous energy storage unit 20 is connected to the quick-connect connector. The quick-connect connector of the previous energy storage unit 20 is inserted into the quick-connect interface 226 of the next energy storage unit 20, thereby allowing the two energy storage modules 23 to be connected in series to enhance the energy storage capacity of the side-mounted stacked battery module 100.
