Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of energy storage cabinet cooling technology, and in particular to a cold source structure for energy storage cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of new energy technologies, energy storage cabinets are being used more and more widely in power systems. Because energy storage cabinets generate a large amount of heat during operation, if this heat cannot be dissipated in time, the internal temperature of the cabinet will rise, affecting its normal operation. Therefore, cooling down energy storage cabinets is particularly important.

[0003] Traditional energy storage cabinets are mostly cooled by air-cooling systems, but these systems have limitations in heat dissipation and cannot meet the cooling requirements of high-power energy storage cabinets. Therefore, water-cooling systems are increasingly being used for cooling energy storage cabinets. However, existing water-cooling systems have complex cold source installation structures, and the installation and disassembly of the cold source equipment are often complicated, causing considerable inconvenience for the maintenance and repair of the cold source equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] To facilitate the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the cold source of the water-cooled system for the energy storage cabinet by operators, this application provides a cold source structure for the energy storage cabinet.

[0005] The cold source structure for an energy storage cabinet provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cold source structure for an energy storage cabinet includes a base fixedly connected to a target device, a mounting groove for accommodating a cold source device on the base, a cover plate that can be opened and closed on the base, the cold source device being detachably mounted on the cover plate, a slide block that can be slidably mounted on the cover plate, an insert block on the slide block, a slot for engaging with the insert block in the groove wall of the mounting groove on the base, and a limiting member for restricting the movement of the slide block on the cover plate.

[0007] The cooling source equipment includes a frame, in which a radiator, a water tank, and a water pump are installed. The radiator, water tank, and water pump are connected in series on the pipes of the water cooling system to drive the circulation of coolant in the pipes and achieve continuous cooling of the coolant.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the cold source equipment includes a frame, on which components such as radiators, water tanks and water pumps are integrated and connected in series on the pipes of the water cooling system, realizing the circulation and continuous cooling of the coolant, which is beneficial to improving the cooling effect of the water cooling system and facilitating the overall disassembly of the cold source equipment.

[0009] The cover plate is openable and closable on the base, and the cold source equipment can be detached and installed on the cover plate, so that the cold source equipment can be easily flipped out of the installation slot, which makes it convenient for the operator to conduct regular inspections of the cold source equipment.

[0010] By using the insert on the slide block to cooperate with the slot on the base, the operator can easily close and fix the cover plate on the base or open the cover plate. The movement of the slide block is restricted by the limiting mechanism, which can further ensure the stability of the cover plate when it is closed.

[0011] Optionally, the limiting member includes a handle that is slidably disposed on the outer wall of the cover plate, a slide block that is slidably disposed on the inner wall of the cover plate, and a connecting rod that is fixedly connected to the handle. The connecting rod passes through the cover plate and is fixedly connected to the slide block. An insertion rod is slidably disposed on the handle, and a first insertion hole and a second insertion hole are provided on the cover plate for the insertion rod to be inserted.

[0012] When the insert rod is engaged with the first socket, the slide pushes the insert block out of the cover plate to engage with the slot. When the insert rod is engaged with the second socket, the slide pushes the insert block back into the cover plate to disengage from the slot.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the insertion of the rod into the first or second insertion hole facilitates the control of the slide position, thereby controlling the extension or retraction of the insert block into the cover plate, so as to achieve the locking effect of the cover plate in the closed state and reduce the situation of the cover plate being opened accidentally.

[0014] Optionally, a sleeve is fixedly connected to the handle, the insertion rod is slidably inserted into the sleeve, a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the insertion rod, the retaining ring is located at the end of the sleeve facing the cover plate, and a spring is sleeved on the insertion rod between the retaining ring and the sleeve.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plug rod is aligned with the first or second socket, the plug rod can be inserted into the first or second socket under the elastic force of the spring, thereby improving the stability of the fit between the plug rod and the first or second socket and reducing the possibility of the plug rod detaching from the first or second socket.

[0016] Optionally, the end of the insert rod facing away from the cover plate is provided with an external thread, and the sleeve is provided with an internal thread for engaging with the external thread of the insert rod.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, an external thread is provided at the end of the insertion rod away from the cover plate, and an internal thread is provided in the sleeve to cooperate with the external thread of the insertion rod. This can realize the threaded connection between the insertion rod and the sleeve, thereby further increasing the stability of the insertion rod position and preventing the insertion rod from dislodging from the first or second insertion hole when not subjected to external force. This is beneficial to improving the stability of the cover plate when it is closed.

[0018] Optionally, the bottom of the frame is provided with a protrusion, the cover plate is provided with a support bracket for supporting the frame, the frame is provided with a groove for the protrusion to be inserted, the cover plate is hinged with a stud, the frame is provided with a limiting groove for the stud to be inserted, and a limiting nut is threaded to one end of the stud that passes through the limiting groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the protrusions at the bottom of the frame and the grooves on the support frame are interlocked. The frame is provided with a limiting groove for stud insertion. One end of the stud that passes through the limiting groove is threaded with a limiting nut. The operator tightens the limiting nut to press against the frame, which helps to improve the installation stability of the cold source equipment on the cover plate.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. The cover plate is openable and closable on the base. The cold source equipment can be detached and installed on the cover plate, so that the cover plate can be flipped to drive the cold source equipment out of the installation slot, which makes it convenient for the operator to perform regular inspections of the cold source equipment.

[0022] 2. By using the insert on the slide block to cooperate with the slot on the base, the operator can easily close and fix the cover plate on the base or open the cover plate.

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application discloses a cold source structure for an energy storage cabinet. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cold source installation structure of the energy storage cabinet using the water cooling system includes a base 1. The base 1 is fixedly connected to the target device that needs to be cooled. The target device can be an energy storage cabinet or a power distribution cabinet or other electrical equipment. In this embodiment, the target device is an energy storage cabinet. The base 1 is embedded in the energy storage cabinet. The base 1 is provided with an installation groove 11. The installation groove 11 is used to accommodate the cold source device 3. The shape and size of the installation groove 11 match the cold source device 3.

[0033] A cover plate 12 that can be opened and closed is provided on the base 1. In this embodiment, the cover plate 12 is hinged to the base 1. When the cover plate 12 is closed, it can completely cover the mounting groove 11 and is fixed to the base 1 by a specific connecting mechanism.

[0034] The cold source device 3 is detachably installed inside the cover plate 12, and the cover plate 12 is provided with a ventilation opening 13. When the cover plate 12 is closed, the cold source device 3 is located in the mounting groove 11; when the cover plate 12 is opened, the cover plate 12 can pull the cold source device 3 out of the mounting groove 11, so that the cold source device 3 is exposed outside the energy storage cabinet, so that the operator can inspect and maintain the cold source device 3.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3The connecting mechanism includes a slide block 14 slidably disposed on the inner wall of the cover plate 12. A plug 15 is fixedly connected to the slide block 14, and the movement of the slide block 14 can cause the plug 15 to extend out of or retract from the cover plate 12. A slot 16 is provided on the base 1 for the plug 15 to be inserted into. When the cover plate 12 is closed, the plug 15 aligns with the slot 16, and the slide block 14 can cause the plug 15 to extend out of the cover plate 12 and be inserted into the slot 16, thus keeping the cover plate 12 closed. Reverse movement of the slide block 14 causes the plug 15 to gradually disengage from the slot 16, releasing the locking effect on the cover plate 12.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 A limiting member 2 for restricting the movement of the slide block 14 is provided outside the cover plate 12. The limiting member 2 includes a handle 21 that is slidably disposed outside the cover plate 12. The sliding direction of the handle 21 is parallel to the sliding direction of the slide block 14. A connecting rod 22 is provided on the handle 21. The connecting rod 22 passes through the cover plate 12 and is fixedly connected to the slide block 14 on the inner side of the cover plate 12. A sleeve 23 is fixedly connected to the handle 21. An insert rod 24 is slidably disposed inside the sleeve 23. A retaining ring 25 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the insert rod 24. The retaining ring 25 is located at the end of the sleeve 23 facing the cover plate 12. A spring 26 is sleeved on the insert rod 24 between the retaining ring 25 and the sleeve 23. The spring 26 is used to push the insert rod 24 to move towards the cover plate 12.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the cover plate 12 has a first insertion hole 27 and a second insertion hole 28 for inserting the insertion rod 24. When the slide block 14 pushes the insertion block 15 out of the cover plate 12 and inserts it into the slot 16, the insertion rod 24 is aligned with the first insertion hole 27, and the spring 26 can push the insertion rod 24 into the first insertion hole 27 to limit the movement of the slide block 14. When the slide block 14 pushes the insertion block 15 to fully retract the cover plate 12, the insertion block 15 disengages from the slot 16, the insertion rod 24 is aligned with the second insertion hole 28, and the spring 26 can push the insertion rod 24 into the second insertion hole 28 to limit the movement of the slide block 14, so that the cover plate 12 remains in the unlocked state.

[0038] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 The end of the insertion rod 24 facing away from the cover plate 12 is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the sleeve 23 is provided with an internal thread for engaging with the external thread of the insertion rod 24. When the spring 26 pushes the insertion rod 24 into the first insertion hole 27 or the second insertion hole 28, the threaded part of the insertion rod 24 abuts against the threaded part of the sleeve 23. The operator can tighten the insertion rod 24 to make the threaded part of the insertion rod 24 engage with the threaded part of the sleeve 23, thus preventing the insertion rod 24 from being accidentally pulled out of the first insertion hole 27 or the second insertion hole 28.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cooling source device 3 includes a frame 31, which integrates key components such as a radiator 32, a water tank 33, and a water pump 34. These components are connected in series through the pipes of the water cooling system to form a complete cooling cycle. The radiator 32 is responsible for heat dissipation, the water tank 33 stores coolant, and the water pump 34 drives the coolant to circulate in the system.

[0040] The frame 31 has a protrusion 4 at its bottom, and a support frame 17 for supporting the frame 31 is provided on the inner wall of the cover plate 12. The support frame 17 has a groove 41. When the frame 31 is supported on the support frame 17, the protrusion 4 at the bottom of the frame 31 can be inserted into the groove 41 on the support frame 17, thereby preventing the cold source equipment 3 from moving horizontally. The present invention also provides an ear plate 42 on the frame 31, with a limiting groove 43. A stud 44 is hinged to the cover plate 12. The stud 44 can be flipped to insert into the limiting groove 43. A limiting nut 45 is threaded onto the stud 44. By tightening the limiting nut 45, the operator can make the limiting nut 45 press against the ear plate 42, thereby preventing the cold source equipment 3 from moving vertically. This allows the cold source equipment 3 to be detachably installed on the cover plate 12, making it convenient for the operator to install, disassemble, and maintain the cold source equipment 3.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
