[0042] Liquid cooling plate 1 is arranged at the top and / or bottom of multipurpose battery pack 001 in energy storage charging station, and the and / or meaning is that liquid cooling plate 1 can be independently arranged at the top or bottom of battery pack 001, or liquid cooling plate 1 is two and is arranged at the top and bottom of battery pack 001 respectively, and details are not repeated here.
[0043] More preferably, liquid cooling plate 1 is attached to battery pack 001, so that it can directly assist the cooling of battery pack 001 and improve the cooling efficiency of battery pack 001, this scheme only shows a group of energy storage charging battery packs stacked from top to bottom in the energy storage box, after battery pack 001 is connected in the energy storage box, the liquid cooling function of battery pack 001 and the air conditioning system are used for cooling, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of liquid cooling plate 1 are connected to the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of battery pack 001, and the existing liquid cooling pipeline can be directly used to complete the secondary heat dissipation of battery pack 001, thereby increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of battery pack 001.
[0044] Wherein, liquid cooling cavity is formed in liquid cooling plate 1, and on the horizontal section, the size of liquid cooling plate 1 and the size of liquid cooling cavity are substantially consistent with the size of battery pack 001, so as to meet the high-efficiency heat dissipation demand of battery pack 001, and the horizontal section is a section perpendicular to the height direction, and details are not repeated here.
[0045] The liquid inlet 2 is provided with an inlet valve 4 controlled to open and close, the box body of the energy storage charging station is stacked with a plurality of groups of battery packs 001 along the height direction, a group of liquid cooling plates 1 is arranged on each group of battery packs 001, and the battery packs 001 are cooled twice by the liquid cooling plates 1, so that the battery packs 001 reach the preset use temperature; in the scheme, a group of liquid cooling plates 1 is arranged on the top of each group of battery packs 001.

[0048] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet 3 is provided with a controlled opening and closing liquid outlet valve 5, each liquid cooling plate 1 has a corresponding liquid inlet valve 4 and liquid outlet valve 5, and the liquid outlet valve 5 is controlled to open or close at the same time as the liquid inlet valve 4. Through the arrangement of the liquid outlet valve 5, the use of each liquid cooling plate 1 can be independent, and when other liquid cooling plates 1 are returned to liquid, they will not exchange heat with the non-working liquid cooling plates 1, which can ensure that the charging and discharging of other battery packs 001 is in an ideal environment.
[0049] In this embodiment, the liquid cooling cavity is provided with a turbulence column 6, which is located in the middle of the horizontal section of the liquid cooling cavity, that is, near the center of the horizontal section of the liquid cooling cavity. The heat dissipation range of this position can be more wide and uniform, and the heat can be removed in time, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack 001. The purpose of arranging the turbulence column 6 is also to increase the residence time of the cooling liquid in the specified position in the liquid cooling cavity, so as to improve the cooling efficiency of the battery pack 001 and make the cooling of the battery pack 001 more efficient.
[0050] In this scheme, the top end of the turbulence column 6 in the height direction is connected to the top of the inner wall of the liquid cooling cavity, and the bottom end of the turbulence column 6 in the height direction is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the liquid cooling cavity. On the one hand, the structural strength of the liquid cooling plate 1 itself is increased, which can provide a good structural framework. On the other hand, it has a large area of flow resistance effect, and the heat dissipation effect is more optimal.
[0051] The turbulence column 6 has turbulence fins 7 protruding towards the liquid inlet, and the turbulence fins 7 are arranged in several pieces. The turbulence column 6 also has a flow surface 8 protruding towards the liquid outlet. The purpose of arranging the flow surface 8 is to reduce the collection of cooling liquid at the liquid outlet of the liquid cooling cavity, which is more conducive to quickly discharging the relatively high-temperature cooling liquid from the liquid cooling cavity, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The flow surface 8 is continuous and protrudes towards the liquid outlet in a curved surface. The center of the curved surface is opposite the center of the liquid outlet, so that the cooling liquid is uniformly discharged. As shown in Figure 4 The connection line of the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the liquid cooling cavity is parallel to the length direction of the energy storage box. The liquid inlet is on the right side of the liquid cooling plate 1, and the liquid outlet is on the left side of the liquid cooling plate 1. Each of the several groups of liquid cooling plates 1 has a corresponding liquid inlet and liquid outlet, which are respectively arranged in the vertical column of the battery pack 001 bracket through the liquid supply pipeline, so as to save cost and space.
[0052] The turbulence column 6 is supported in the liquid cooling cavity in a substantially columnar shape. The flow surface 8 is the left end surface of the turbulence column 6 in the liquid inlet direction, and the turbulence fins 7 are formed on the right end surface of the turbulence column 6. The specific structure of the turbulence column 6 enables the cooling liquid to collect between the turbulence fins 7. Exchange holes are arranged on the turbulence fins 7. According to the characteristics that the cooling liquid has initial kinetic energy and continuously enters the liquid cooling cavity, and in combination with the turbulence fins 7 arranged in a "mountain" shape, the relatively high-temperature cooling liquid is diffused to both ends of the turbulence column 6 in the width direction in time. In combination with the arrangement of the flow surface 8, there is no liquid accumulation at the back of the turbulence column 6. The relatively high-temperature cooling liquid in the liquid cooling cavity can be discharged more quickly through the liquid outlet, so that the cooling effect of the liquid cooling plate 1 is more optimal, which is more conducive to ensuring the heat dissipation of the battery pack 001 and improving the safety of the energy storage box of the charging station.
[0053] In this embodiment, the spoiler column 6 is provided with functional holes 9, the functional holes 9 are a plurality of, a plurality of functional holes 9 are distributed on the spoiler column 6 in the height direction, and the functional holes 9 are located between adjacent spoiler pieces 7; the purpose of setting the functional hole 9 is to provide a diffusion branch for the cooling liquid passing through the spoiler column 6, so that part of the cooling liquid is directly discharged to the back of the spoiler column 6, combined with the curved flow surface 8, the flow efficiency of the relatively high temperature cooling liquid in the liquid cooling chamber can be improved, that is, to ensure that the relatively low temperature cooling liquid is efficiently gathered at the position of the spoiler column 6, and the relatively high temperature cooling liquid is efficiently discharged, on the one hand, to prevent the relatively low temperature cooling liquid from flowing away, so that the cooling capacity of the liquid cooling plate 1 is improved, on the other hand, to improve the discharge efficiency of the relatively high temperature cooling liquid, reduce the local heat concentration of the liquid cooling plate 1, so that the temperature of the cooling liquid inside the liquid cooling plate 1 is always kept within the set range, and the overall cooling efficiency of the liquid cooling plate 1 is higher.
[0054] In this embodiment, the density of the plurality of functional holes 9 distributed in the height direction of the spoiler column 6 is higher than the density of the functional holes 9 distributed at both ends of the height direction of the spoiler column 6; so that the flow amount of the spoiler column 6 in the middle part is greater than that of the upper and lower ends, and the liquid flow in the liquid cooling chamber has a structure that the flow rate in the middle part is greater than that in the end part, and the heat exchange effect is better; further, the hole diameter size of the functional hole 9 is smaller than the hole diameter size of the middle exchange hole, so as to ensure that the cooling liquid can be gathered at the position of the spoiler column 6, and the cooling effect is controlled, which will not be described here.
[0055] In this embodiment, it also includes a supply air duct 10 connected to the air outlet end of the air conditioning cooling system and a return air duct 11 connected to the air return end of the air conditioning cooling system; the supply air duct 10 has an air outlet 12, and the return air duct 11 has an air return 13; in this scheme, the gas flow direction is parallel to the width direction of the energy storage tank, the gas flow direction along the supply air duct 10, the air outlet 12 is behind, and the air return 13 is in front;
[0056] The liquid cooling plate 1 also has opposite conduction surfaces and heat dissipation surfaces, the conduction surfaces are attached to the top surface or bottom surface of the battery pack 001, and the heat dissipation surfaces are provided with heat dissipation fins 14; so that the heat of the battery pack 001 can not only be taken away by its own liquid cooling system, but also be taken away by the liquid cooling plate 1, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack 001, and reduce the difference in service life of the battery pack 001 caused by uneven heat dissipation;
[0057] The heat dissipation fins 14 are arranged between the air outlet 12 and the air return 13, the air flow path passes through the heat dissipation fins 14, and the heat of the corresponding battery pack 001 is directly taken away, and the air return 13 also has a certain negative pressure, so that the cooling air is guided and forced to pass through the heat dissipation fins 14, accelerating the cooling efficiency of the battery pack; when the battery pack 001 is assembled in the energy storage box, each group of battery packs 001 is equipped with the liquid cooling plate 1 of the scheme and the corresponding air outlet 12 and air return 13, and the air outlet and the air return rely on the original air conditioning cooling system in the energy storage box. Compared with the original air conditioning cooling system in the energy storage box, the scheme can directly apply the cooling air to the reused battery pack 001, reduce the cooling differentiation of the battery pack 001 at different positions, accelerate the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack 001, increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack 001, control the temperature of the battery pack 001 within a predetermined range, reduce the battery pack 001 overheating scrap caused by inconsistent heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack 001 in the energy storage box, and improve the safety of the energy storage box. The temperature of the whole box is controlled within the set range, and the heat dissipation of each battery pack 001 can be considered, so that the battery charging and discharging in the energy storage box can be in an ideal temperature charging and discharging environment, improve the performance of the waste battery, ensure the service life of the waste battery, and improve the quality of the energy storage box.
[0058] In the embodiment, the middle part of the air outlet 12 in the height direction is higher than the middle part of the air outlet 12 in the height direction, and the air outlet 12 and the air return 13 are oppositely arranged in the extension direction of the heat dissipation fins 14. By oppositely arranging the air outlet 12 and the air return 13 and arranging them close to the extension direction of the heat dissipation fins 14, the flow rate of the cooling air can be accelerated, the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack 001 can be improved, and the temperature of the environment in which the battery pack 001 is located can be maintained within a suitable range. The purpose of the height difference between the air outlet 12 and the air return 13 is to make the cooling air flow direction of the heat dissipation fins 14 inclined from top to bottom, further satisfy the function of efficient air cooling, and improve the service life of the battery pack 001.
[0059] In the embodiment, the direction of the cooling liquid flowing in the liquid cooling cavity intersects the extension direction of the heat dissipation fins 14. The external environment cooling and the internal liquid cooling are crossed to avoid cold and hot zones, the two are perpendicular in the scheme, the effectiveness of heat dissipation is improved, the battery pack 001 is quickly cooled, the efficient heat dissipation of the liquid cooling plate 1 to the battery pack 001 is satisfied, the safety of the battery pack 001 in the energy storage box is ensured, and the use safety of the energy storage box is improved.
[0060] In this embodiment, the air supply pipeline 10 extends in the height direction, the air supply pipeline 10 is arranged at the rear side of the end of the liquid cooling plate 1, and the air supply pipeline 10 is provided with an air guide plate 15 for guiding gas to the air outlet 12. The air guide plate 15 is arranged to actively guide cooling air to the corresponding air outlet 12, to control the flow of cooling air to each group of liquid cooling plates 1 as much as possible, to meet the heat dissipation consistency of each battery pack 001 as much as possible, to meet the cooling consistency of each position of the energy storage box, to reduce the temperature difference between the upper and lower positions in the energy storage box, to enable the battery in the energy storage box to be in an ideal temperature charging and discharging environment, to improve the performance of the waste battery reuse, and to improve the quality of the energy storage box. The air guide plate 15 is provided with a shunt hole 16, or the air guide plate 15 and the inner wall of the air supply pipeline 10 form a shunt hole 16, so that the cooling air can pass through the corresponding air outlet 12 and diffuse to the corresponding air return port 13 through each group of battery packs 001.
[0061] The number of air outlets 12 of the air supply pipeline 10 is consistent with the number of liquid cooling plates 1, and the air outlets 12 are arranged at the rear end of the liquid cooling plates 1 in a one-to-one correspondence. The number of air guide plates 15 is consistent with the number of air outlets 12, and the air guide plates 15 are arranged at the rear end of the air outlets 12 in a one-to-one correspondence with the air outlets 12.

The front and back correspond to the front and back of the width direction of the energy storage box, the air return direction is forward, and the air supply direction is backward.
[0063] In this embodiment, the air guide plate 15 is inclined downward from back to front, the shunt hole 16 is arranged on the air guide plate 15, and the inclined air guide plate 15 can further improve the initial kinetic energy of the cooling air entering the heat dissipation fin 14. The shunt hole 16 is staggered to ensure that the cooling air entering the next level is stored and then has the initial kinetic energy to blow to the battery pack 001, and then diffuses downward step by step. The air guide plate 15 at the bottom can not be provided with a shunt hole 16 to guide air to the corresponding battery group for cooling.

[0066] The air intake plate 15 has several diversion holes 16, the diameter of which gradually decreases from front to back, and the spacing between adjacent holes gradually increases from front to back. The closer the diversion holes 16 are to the air outlet 12, the smaller their size and the farther apart they are, resulting in greater kinetic energy of the airflow and ensuring the cooling capacity of the heat dissipation fins 14. Furthermore, in this design, if... Figure 7 As shown, it illustrates the positions of the diversion holes 16 on the two air intake plates 15 from top to bottom.

[0067] The aperture size of several of the return air vents 13 gradually decreases from bottom to top; the arrangement of the return air vents 13 can actively draw in and return air, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack, and the size becomes smaller as it goes up, which can make up for the controllable temperature difference caused by insufficient output pressure of the bottom air outlet 12, further ensuring the ambient temperature inside the energy storage box, as well as ensuring the operating temperature of each battery pack 001.
[0068] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the air supply duct 10 is roughly located in the middle of the horizontal direction of the battery pack 001. The return air duct 11 consists of two symmetrically arranged at both ends of the air supply duct 10, which provides good return air consistency and can assist the heat dissipation fins 14 in better cooling. The air supply duct 10 is located on the rear side of the battery pack 001, and the return air duct 11 is located on the front side of the battery pack 001.

The arrangement of the two sets of return air ducts 11 is more conducive to the heat dissipation of the battery pack 001, and the heat dissipation of the battery pack 001 is good, which can ensure the ambient temperature inside the energy storage box and the operating temperature of a single battery pack 001.
[0069] In the embodiment, the heat dissipation fins 14 are arranged in parallel along the set direction I, and the height of the heat dissipation fins 14 gradually increases from the middle to both sides along the set direction I;
[0070] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the set direction is the length direction of the energy storage box, the heat dissipation fins 14 extend along the depth direction of the battery pack 001 and are arranged in parallel along the transverse direction of the battery pack 001, and the cross section of the heat dissipation fins 14 in the height direction approximately forms a wind passage with a concave middle portion; the air outlet 12 directly faces the front end of the heat dissipation fins 14 in the transverse direction, and the top edge connecting line of the heat dissipation fins 14 is an arc with a concave middle portion and symmetrical sides, which can provide a favorable and fast wind passage under air cooling conditions and quickly take away the heat of the heat dissipation fins 14 under wind pressure, thereby improving the heat dissipation capacity of the liquid cooling plate 1.
[0071] In the embodiment, the ends of the heat dissipation fins 14 along the set direction I gradually shrink inward from both sides to the middle; that is, the length of the heat dissipation fins 14 gradually increases from the middle to both sides, and the cross section of the heat dissipation fins 14 in the horizontal direction approximately forms a buffer zone with a concave front end; the buffer zone faces the air outlet 12, and the spacing of the heat dissipation fins 14 gradually decreases from the middle to both ends along the set direction I, so as to form a structure with better heat dissipation capacity in cooperation with the wind passage; the buffer zone of the present scheme directly faces the air outlet 12, and the front end connecting line of the heat dissipation fins 14 is an arc with a concave middle portion and symmetrical sides, which can stabilize the wind pressure of the heat dissipation fins 14 and reduce direct blowing noise, while meeting the cooling demand of the battery pack 001.
[0072] The heat dissipation fins 14 with the specific structure and specific distribution cooperate with the air outlet 12 and the air return port 13 with the specific structure, so that the air flow speed in the middle of the battery pack 001 is greater, the internal pressure in the transverse middle of the battery pack 001 is lower, the cooling efficiency of the battery pack 001 is higher under the conditions of negative pressure on both sides of the front end and positive pressure on the rear end, and the structure with the air outlet 12 on top and the air return port 13 on the bottom can further improve the cooling efficiency of the battery pack 001.
