Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular to a detection device for energy storage containers. Background Technology

[0002] An energy storage container is an energy storage device that can convert electrical energy into chemical energy and store it in a battery pack, and convert the chemical energy in the battery pack into electrical energy required by the electrical equipment when needed. Because energy storage containers are easy to move and maintain, they are widely used in applications such as grid peak shaving and emergency backup power.

[0003] To ensure the operational stability of energy storage containers, staff need to regularly inspect the various functional modules inside the containers. In traditional technology, each functional module to be inspected needs to be disassembled and sent for inspection in turn, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a testing device for energy storage containers to address the problem of low testing efficiency caused by the need to remove and send the functional modules to be tested from the energy storage container in traditional technologies.

[0029] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0030] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 2 One embodiment of this application provides a testing device for an energy storage container, including a testing mechanism 100, a connector 200, and a moving mechanism 300. The connector 200 is disposed in the testing mechanism 100 and has at least two interfaces 210. All interfaces 210 are used to connect different functional modules in the energy storage container, and all interfaces 210 are electrically connected to the testing mechanism 100. The moving mechanism 300 is disposed in the testing mechanism 100.

[0034] The aforementioned testing device for energy storage containers includes a moving mechanism 300 that can move the testing mechanism 100 and the connector 200 within the energy storage container. When testing is required on one of the functional modules within the energy storage container, the moving mechanism 300 moves the testing mechanism 100 and the connector 200 to the vicinity of the functional module to be tested. The functional module to be tested then establishes an electrical connection with the testing mechanism 100 through a matching interface 210 on the connector 200. The testing mechanism 100 then performs the testing on the functional module. Compared to traditional technologies, the aforementioned testing device for energy storage containers can move within the energy storage container and approach the functional module to be tested via the moving mechanism 300. By setting different types of interfaces 210 to match different types of functional modules within the energy storage container, it enables the testing of different types of functional modules within the energy storage container without the need to remove the functional module to be tested from the energy storage container for testing, thus improving testing efficiency.

[0035] As an explanation, the energy storage container has different types of functional modules, such as electrolyte circulation system pumps, heaters, fans, and various sensors. These functional modules have functions such as heating, pumping, voltage control, current control, pressure control, temperature control, flow control, and gas concentration control. In traditional technology, the testing process for these functional modules is relatively cumbersome. In this embodiment, the connector 200 is provided with an interface 210 for connecting the various functional modules mentioned above. The operator can select the interface 210 that matches the type of functional module, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the functional module and the testing mechanism 100, and thus realizing the testing of the functional modules in the energy storage container.

[0036] Furthermore, the testing mechanism 100 includes an I / O board, an industrial control computer, and a simulated load for testing various functional modules. The I / O board is electrically connected to the connector 200. Different types of functional modules in the energy storage container can be electrically connected to the I / O board through the interface 210 on the connector 200. The I / O board can convert the signals of different functional modules into signals that the industrial control computer can receive. By operating the industrial control computer, the simulated load can be controlled, thereby realizing the testing of various functional modules and ensuring that the energy storage container can operate normally.

[0037] For example, the different types of interfaces 210 on the connector include aviation connectors corresponding to various sensors in the energy storage container, anode and cathode electrolyte pump docking terminals, and wind turbine docking terminals, etc.

[0038] Optionally, the moving mechanism 300 can be a set of rolling wheels installed on the detection mechanism 100, or a trolley for carrying the detection mechanism 100, as long as it can move the detection mechanism 100 and the connector 200. No specific limitation is made here.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the detection device for the energy storage container further includes a container body 400, a connector 200 disposed in the container body 400, the container body 400 having a mounting cavity 410, and a detection mechanism 100 disposed in the mounting cavity 410.

[0040] The testing mechanism 100 is located inside the mounting cavity 410 of the housing 400 to prevent other external components from bumping and damaging the testing mechanism 100.

[0041] Furthermore, the connector 200 is located outside the mounting cavity 410 to facilitate the operator in connecting the interface 210 on the connector 200 to the functional module to be tested.

[0042] Furthermore, a connector 200 is provided at one end of the housing 400 along the height direction, and a moving mechanism 300 is provided at the other end of the housing 400 along the height direction. This not only facilitates the wiring between the connector 200 and the functional module, but also facilitates the movement of the detection device through the moving mechanism 300.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the moving mechanism 300 is located at the bottom of the housing 400 to facilitate the movement of the housing 400, the detection mechanism 100 within the mounting cavity 410, and the connector 200.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the housing 400 is further provided with an operating table 420, which has an installation area and an operating area 421. The connector 200 is located in the installation area, and the operating area 421 is used to place external devices.

[0045] The installation area of ​​the control panel 420 is used to install the connector 200, so that the operator can connect the functional module to be tested to the interface 210 on the connector 200. The operation area 421 is used to place external equipment, thereby improving the ease of use of the testing device.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the connector 200 is approximately triangular prism in shape. The three sides of the triangular prism-shaped connector 200 are the mounting surface, the operating ramp 220, and the wiring surface, respectively. The mounting surface is connected to the mounting area of ​​the operating table 420, and all the interfaces 210 are located on the wiring surface. One side of the operating ramp 220 is connected to the operating area 421. In this way, when using the testing device, the operator can use the operating ramp 220 as an area to place books, experimental booklets for recording test results, and other items. The inclined operating ramp 220 also makes it easier for the operator to flip through these items, improving the ease of use of the testing device.

[0047] Furthermore, in the above embodiments, the external devices used for placing in the operation area 421 include keyboards, mice, etc., dividing the operation table 420 into an installation area and an operation area 421. While enabling the installation of the connector 200, an area is reserved for operating external devices such as keyboards and mice, making the division of the operation table 420 area more reasonable.

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the testing device for the energy storage container further includes a display 500, which is located on the control panel 420 and electrically connected to the testing mechanism 100.

[0049] The display 500 on the control panel 420 can display the operation interface of the testing mechanism 100 and the test results, so that the staff can operate the testing mechanism 100 and obtain the test results of the functional modules.

[0050] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the display 500 includes a first mounting rod 510 and a display screen 520. One end of the first mounting rod 510 is disposed on the connector 200, and the display screen 520 is movably disposed on the first mounting rod 510.

[0051] The display screen 520 can display the operation interface of the testing mechanism 100 and the test results, etc. The display screen 520 is movably mounted on the first mounting rod 510 so as to adjust the orientation of the display screen 520 so that the display screen 520 faces the staff, thereby improving the staff's ease of operation of the testing device.

[0052] In one embodiment, the display screen 520 is electrically connected to the testing mechanism 100, thereby displaying the operation interface of the testing mechanism 100 and the testing results, etc.

[0053] Optionally, the signal transmission between the display screen 520 and the testing mechanism 100 can be via wiring or wireless transmission, etc., without specific limitations.

[0054] Furthermore, when the display screen 520 and the detection mechanism 100 transmit signals via wiring, the first mounting rod 510 has a wiring channel inside, one end of the signal line is connected to the display screen 520, and the other end of the signal line passes through the wiring channel and is connected to the detection mechanism 100 inside the mounting cavity 410.

[0055] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the display 500 further includes a movable block 530, which has a mounting hole 531. A first mounting rod 510 passes through the mounting hole 531, and the display screen 520 is disposed on the movable block 530.

[0056] With this configuration, the movable block 530 can reciprocate along the axis of the mounting hole 531 on the first mounting rod 510, thereby driving the display screen 520 to reciprocate along the axis of the first mounting rod 510, thus adjusting the height of the display screen 520. In addition, the movable block 530 can also rotate around the axis of the first mounting rod 510, thereby driving the display screen 520 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the orientation angle of the display screen 520 and improving the applicability of the detection device.

[0057] Optionally, the mounting hole 531 can be a half hole or a full hole, as long as it can be used for the first mounting rod 510 to pass through, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0058] Furthermore, in Figures 2 to 3 In the embodiment shown, the mounting hole 531 is a half hole.

[0059] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, the display 500 further includes a second mounting rod 540, one end of which is provided with a first ball joint 541 and the other end of which is provided with a second ball joint 542. The movable block 530 is also provided with a first ball groove, and the display screen 520 is provided with a second ball groove. The first ball groove is fitted onto the first ball joint 541 and the second ball groove is fitted onto the second ball joint 542.

[0060] The first ball groove on the movable block 530 is fitted onto the first ball joint 541 on the second mounting rod 540, and the second ball groove on the display screen 520 is fitted onto the second ball joint 542 on the second mounting rod 540. In this way, the display screen 520 can adjust its orientation to a greater extent through the second mounting rod 540, thereby further improving the orientation flexibility of the display screen 520.

[0061] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the detection device for the energy storage container further includes a status light 600, which is located at the end of the first mounting rod 510 away from the connector 200 and electrically connected to the detection mechanism 100.

[0062] The status light 600, which is electrically connected to the testing mechanism 100, can be used to display the testing results of the testing mechanism 100 on the functional modules and the operating status of the testing mechanism 100, thereby improving the ease of use of the testing device.

[0063] For example, the status light 600 can display different colors to reflect the detection results of the functional module by the detection mechanism 100 and the operation status of the detection mechanism 100. For example, when the status light 600 displays green, it indicates that the detection result of the functional module is normal; when the status light 600 displays red, it indicates that the detection result of the functional module is abnormal; and when the status light 600 displays yellow, it indicates that the operation status of the detection mechanism 100 itself is abnormal.

[0064] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the detection device for the energy storage container further includes support feet 700, which are provided in at least two and spaced apart circumferentially along the container body 400, and all support feet 700 are capable of reciprocating along a first direction of the container body 400.

[0065] When the moving mechanism 300 moves the detection mechanism 100 and the connector 200 to the vicinity of the functional module to be tested, the support foot 700 moves and comes into contact with the ground, thereby preventing the housing 400 from moving arbitrarily and improving the stability of the detection device when testing the functional module; after the test is completed, the support foot 700 moves in the opposite direction and cancels the contact with the ground, thereby enabling the detection device to move via the moving mechanism 300.

[0066] For explanation purposes, the first direction in the above embodiment is the height direction of the housing 400 (i.e., Figure 1 (Direction A in the middle).

[0067] Please see Figure 4 In one embodiment, the housing 400 is provided with at least two guide channels 430 at circumferential intervals. The guide channels 430 are provided one-to-one with the support feet 700. All the guide channels 430 extend along the first direction. The support feet 700 include a support rod 710 and a support part 720. One end of the support rod 710 is located in the guide channel 430 and can reciprocate along the first direction. The other end of the support rod 710 is provided with the support part 720.

[0068] The guide channel 430 extends along the first direction. The end of the support rod 710 away from the support part 720 is located in the guide channel 430 and can move back and forth along the extension direction of the guide channel 430 (i.e. the first direction), thereby driving the support part 720 to move so as to achieve contact between the support part 720 and the ground.

[0069] Further, please refer to Figure 4 The cabinet 400 is roughly rectangular in shape. Four guide channels 430 are provided and are respectively located on the four sides of the cabinet 400. Four support feet 700 are provided and are respectively arranged in correspondence with the guide channels 430. The moving mechanism 300 includes four rollers 310, which are all located at the bottom of the cabinet 400 and on the four sides of the cabinet 400. This arrangement can ensure the moving stability of the cabinet 400 and improve the load-bearing stability of the cabinet 400 on components such as the display 500 and the connector 200.

[0070] Furthermore, the roller 310 in the above embodiment is a swivel wheel.

[0071] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment, the detection mechanism 100 is further provided with a main power switch 810, a power indicator light 820, and a safety switch 830.

[0072] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0073] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
