Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that the advantages and features of this utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] See appendix Figure 1 The energy storage device shown includes an energy storage cabinet 100, an energy storage battery 200 disposed within the cabinet 100, a high-voltage module 110 that generates heat during operation, and an energy storage converter 120. The energy storage device also includes an energy storage thermal management system for monitoring and regulating the temperature of the energy storage device to prevent it from becoming too cold or too hot, thus ensuring stable and efficient operation. See also Figure 2The energy storage thermal management system shown includes a heat supply module 300 and a heat transfer component 400 for heat exchange with the energy storage battery 200, wherein the heat supply module 300 includes a compressor 310, a heat exchange assembly 320, a throttling valve 330, an energy-saving heat exchanger 340 and a regenerator 350, and the heat transfer component 400 is arranged in the energy storage cabinet 100 together with the energy-saving heat exchanger 340. The energy-saving heat exchanger 340 includes a heat exchange main body and an air heat exchanger fan 341 for driving the air in the energy storage cabinet 100 to flow to the heat exchange main body. When the air heat exchanger fan 341 is turned on, it can drive the air in the energy storage cabinet 100 to flow and exchange heat with the refrigerant flowing through the heat exchange main body of the energy-saving heat exchanger 340. The regenerator 350 has a first channel 351 and a second channel 352 which are independent of each other but can exchange heat. When the refrigerant flows in both the first channel 351 and the second channel 352, the refrigerant in the two channels can exchange heat. When only the first channel 351 or only the second channel 352 has refrigerant flowing in, the refrigerant flowing through the regenerator 350 will not exchange heat.
[0027] The heat transfer component 400 has a first port 410 and a second port 420. The outlet of the compressor 310 is connected to the heat exchange assembly 320 through a pipeline, the heat exchange assembly 320 is connected to the throttling valve 330 through a pipeline, the throttling valve 330 is connected to the first port 410 through a pipeline, the second port 420 is connected to the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 through a pipeline, the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 is connected to the first channel 351 through a pipeline, and the first channel 351 is connected to the inlet of the compressor 310 through a pipeline. The compressor 310, the heat exchange assembly 320, the throttling valve 330, the heat transfer component 400, the heat exchange main body of the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 and the first channel 351 are connected in sequence through pipelines to form a first circulation loop in which the refrigerant can circulate. The heat supply module 300 is also provided with a parallel pipeline 360, and the two ends of the parallel pipeline 360 are connected to the pipeline between the outlet of the compressor 310 and the heat exchange assembly 320. The second channel 352 is arranged in the parallel pipeline 360. The heat supply module 300 is also provided with a control valve for controlling the opening and closing of the parallel pipeline.
[0028] When the refrigerant flows in the first circulation loop, the compressor 310 discharges high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The refrigerant flows to the heat exchange assembly 320 for cooling treatment and is converted into high-pressure and low-temperature liquid state. The refrigerant continues to flow forward through the throttling valve 330 and is converted into low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid mixture. The gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant enters the heat transfer component 400 and exchanges heat with the energy storage battery 200, thereby cooling the energy storage battery 200. The refrigerant discharged from the second port 420 of the heat transfer component 400 flows in sequence through the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 and the regenerator 350. In this process, the refrigerant absorbs heat and is completely converted into gaseous state. After that, the gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor 310.
[0029] The thermal management system has a first mode and a second mode. When the temperature in the energy storage cabinet 100 is higher than a first preset value, the first mode is started. As shown in FIG. 4, in this mode, the refrigerant flows in the first circulation loop, the heat exchanger fan 341 is started, and the parallel pipeline 360 is closed. In the first mode, the regenerator 350 does not work, and the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 can heat the refrigerant flowing out of the heat transfer component 400 using the heat in the energy storage cabinet 100, so that the refrigerant is completely converted into a gaseous state. On the one hand, the environmental heat in the energy storage cabinet 100 can be fully utilized. On the other hand, through heat exchange at the energy-saving heat exchanger 340, the temperature in the energy storage cabinet 100 can be reduced, so that the energy storage device can work better. When the temperature in the energy storage cabinet 100 is lower than the first preset value, the second mode is started. As shown in FIG. 5, in this mode, the heat exchanger fan 341 is closed, and the parallel pipeline 360 is opened. The refrigerant flows in the first circulation loop and the parallel pipeline 360. In the second mode, the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 does not work. Part of the refrigerant discharged from the outlet of the self-compressor 310 flows into the parallel pipeline 360 and flows through the second channel 352. The refrigerant discharged from the heat transfer component 400 exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the second channel 352 after flowing into the first channel 351. On the one hand, the temperature of the refrigerant entering the compressor 310 is increased, so that the refrigerant is completely converted into a gaseous state. On the other hand, the temperature of the refrigerant entering the heat exchange assembly 320 is reduced, so that the working load of the heat exchange assembly 320 is reduced, and the energy efficiency of the energy storage thermal management system is improved. Figure 3 Figure 4

When the refrigerant flows in the second circulation loop, the compressor 310 discharges high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. The refrigerant is cooled before flowing into the heat transfer component 400. The cooled refrigerant flows into the heat transfer component 400 from the second port 420 and flows out from the first port 410. The refrigerant in the heat transfer component 400 can heat the energy storage battery 200. The refrigerant discharged from the heat transfer component 400 flows through the heat exchange assembly 320 and the regenerator 350 in sequence. In this process, the refrigerant is heated and completely converted into a gaseous state. Then, the gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor 310.

In the fourth mode, part of the refrigerant discharged by the compressor 310 flows into the second passage 352, and the refrigerant flowing into the second passage 352 exchanges heat with the refrigerant flowing back to the first passage 351, so as to lower the temperature of the refrigerant in the second passage 352 and raise the temperature of the refrigerant flowing back to the compressor 310 to completely convert into gas. Figure 6 In the third mode, the regenerator 350 does not work, and the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant discharged by the compressor 310 is subjected to heat exchange treatment at the energy-saving heat exchanger 340, so that the temperature of the refrigerant is lowered and the temperature of the environment in the energy storage cabinet 100 is raised.

[0071] Embodiment 2
[0072] Referring to Figure 7 The main difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the heat exchange assembly 320 of this embodiment is a component that can simultaneously cool and heat the refrigerant.
[0073] In summary, the energy storage device of all the above embodiments has an energy storage thermal management system, which comprises an energy-saving heat exchanger 340 arranged in the energy storage cabinet 100. The heat exchanger fan 341 of the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 can drive the air in the energy storage cabinet to flow and exchange heat with the refrigerant flowing through the energy-saving heat exchanger 340. When the energy storage battery 200 is cooled by the energy storage thermal management system, if the temperature in the energy storage cabinet 100 is high, the heat exchanger fan 341 can be started, and the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 can exchange heat between the refrigerant discharged from the heat transfer component 400 and the internal environment of the energy storage cabinet 100. Not only can the refrigerant discharged from the heat transfer component 400 be heated to completely convert into a gaseous state, but also the internal temperature of the energy storage cabinet 100 can be reduced, the energy in the energy storage cabinet 100 can be fully utilized, and energy consumption can be saved. If the temperature in the energy storage cabinet 100 is lower than the preset value, the heat exchanger fan 341 can be turned off, and the parallel pipeline 360 can be opened, and the regenerator 350 can heat the refrigerant flowing back to the compressor 310. When the energy storage battery 200 is heated by the energy storage thermal management system, if the temperature in the energy storage cabinet 100 is low, the heat exchanger fan 341 can also be started, and the energy-saving heat exchanger 340 can exchange heat between the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 310 and the internal environment of the energy storage cabinet 100. Not only can the temperature of the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 310 be reduced, but also the temperature in the energy storage cabinet 100 can be increased.

Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
