[0033] Referring to Figures 1-4 The application provides a kind of energy storage cabinet, including cabinet 1, battery compartment is equipped in cabinet 1, liquid cooling unit warehouse and high voltage box warehouse, the battery compartment includes eight battery packs 2 along the height direction of cabinet 1 and the battery compartment bottom plate 5 below eight battery packs 2, the battery compartment side is equipped with thermal insulation cotton, the battery compartment bottom plate 5 is equipped with drain hole, the liquid cooling unit warehouse includes liquid cooling unit 3 and first fire extinguishing device 6, the liquid cooling unit 3 is equipped with the air outlet that air is guided to the outside of cabinet, the air outlet is equipped with air outlet air duct, the high voltage box warehouse includes high voltage box 4 and second fire extinguishing device 7.

[0034] By the above structure, the application improves the heat preservation performance, heat dissipation performance, drainage performance and fire-fighting performance inside the energy storage cabinet as a whole, thereby avoiding the safety problems and efficiency problems of the energy storage cabinet due to the reduction of any of the above performances when facing extreme weather, and reducing the safety risk of the energy storage cabinet.

[0035] Specifically, in the embodiments of the application, the cabinet 1 around the battery compartment side is double-layered, the thermal insulation cotton is arranged in the double-layered cabinet 1 side, so that the front, rear, left, right, upper and lower six surfaces of the battery compartment are provided with thermal insulation cotton, wherein the partition plate close to the battery pack 2 side of the double-layered partition plate is detachable to install and detach the thermal insulation cotton.

[0036] In order to make the thermal insulation cotton have good thermal insulation effect, the thickness of the thermal insulation cotton is set to be greater than or equal to 60 mm. In a possible embodiment, the thermal insulation cotton can be thermal insulation rock wool.
