[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this application provides an energy storage container, which includes:
[0043] The housing 100 has a battery compartment 110, which is configured to hold a battery pack.
[0044] At least one door 200 is configured to enclose the battery compartment 110;
[0045] At least one dehumidifier 300 is located between the battery pack and the door 200.
[0046] In this embodiment, the dehumidifier 300 can be a semiconductor dehumidifier. Semiconductor dehumidifiers are small in size and can be easily installed in the gap between the door 200 and the battery pack, thereby avoiding the need to add extra space inside the energy storage container to install the dehumidifier 300.
[0047] Semiconductor dehumidifiers are devices that utilize semiconductor refrigeration technology to achieve dehumidification. They condense water vapor in the air into water using semiconductor cooling chips, thereby reducing humidity. Semiconductor dehumidifiers are characterized by their compact size, lightweight design, and low operating noise. Furthermore, because semiconductor dehumidifiers do not use refrigerant, they are more environmentally friendly and do not cause pollution.
[0048] Meanwhile, multiple battery compartments 110 can be set inside the container 100. Each battery compartment 110 can correspond to a battery cluster, and each battery cluster includes multiple battery packs. Each battery compartment 110 can also correspond to a door 200 and a dehumidifier 300. This ensures that no condensation will be generated in each battery compartment 110 due to liquid cooling, avoiding corrosion of electrical components and sheet metal parts inside the energy storage container by condensation in each battery compartment 110, and also avoiding electrical risks inside the energy storage container.
[0049] The energy storage container provided in this application includes a container body 100, at least one door 200, and at least one dehumidifier 300. The container body 100 is provided with a battery compartment 110, which is configured to hold a battery pack. The door 200 is configured to close the battery compartment 110. The dehumidifier 300 is located between the battery pack and the door 200. Thus, without increasing the size of the energy storage container, the dehumidifier 300 can be placed in the gap between the battery pack and the door 200. This eliminates the need to increase the internal space of the energy storage container to install the dehumidifier 300, avoiding the energy storage container from becoming too large.
[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the door 200 includes a door frame 201 and at least one door panel 202; wherein, the door frame 201 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 100, the door panel 202 is rotatably connected to the door frame 201, and the dehumidifier 300 is disposed between the door panel 202 and the battery pack.
[0051] In this embodiment, the door 200 may consist of a door frame 201 and at least one door panel 202. The door frame 201 is fixedly connected to the skeleton of the housing 100, and the door panel 202 is rotatably connected to the door frame 201 to allow the door panel 202 to open and close. Each door panel 202 corresponds to a battery compartment 110 and is configured to enclose the battery compartment 110. Each door panel 202 also corresponds to a dehumidifier 300, which may be located between the door panel 202 and the battery pack. The dehumidifier 300 can be fixed to either the housing 100 or the door panel 202. To facilitate the movement of the battery pack within the battery compartment 110, this application preferentially chooses to fix the dehumidifier 300 to the door panel 202.
[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the dehumidifier 300 is fixedly connected to the door panel 202. In this embodiment, the dehumidifier 300 is fixed to the door panel 202 so as to prevent the dehumidifier 300 from blocking the battery pack from being taken out and put into the battery compartment 110 when maintaining the battery pack.
[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the energy storage container also includes a first mounting component 500; wherein the first mounting component 500 is bent to form a first mounting part 510 and a second mounting part 520, the first mounting part 510 is fixedly connected to the door panel 202, and the second mounting part 520 is fixedly connected to the dehumidifier 300.
[0054] In this embodiment, the first mounting member 500 is configured to fix the dehumidifier 300 to the door panel 202. The first mounting member 500 includes a first mounting portion 510 and a second mounting portion 520. The first mounting portion 510 is fixedly connected to the door panel 202 by screws, and the second mounting portion 520 is also fixedly connected to the dehumidifier 300 by screws. Furthermore, to ensure that the dehumidifier 300 can be securely installed on the door panel 202, this application can provide a first mounting member 500 at each end of the dehumidifier 300. The two first mounting members 500 can fix both ends of the dehumidifier 300 to the door panel 202.
[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the energy storage container also includes a water pipe 400; wherein, the water pipe 400 is located between the battery pack and the door 200, and one end of the water pipe 400 is connected to the outlet 301 of the dehumidifier 300.
[0056] Specifically, this application incorporates a water guide pipe 400 at the outlet 301 of the dehumidifier 300 to divert the condensate collected by the dehumidifier 300, preventing the condensate from re-evaporating and accumulating inside the energy storage container, thus avoiding safety hazards to wiring harnesses and other electrical components. The water guide pipe 400 can be located inside the door panel 202, or between the battery pack and the door panel 202.
[0057] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the energy storage container also includes a second mounting component 600; wherein the second mounting component 600 is bent to form a third mounting part 610 and a fourth mounting part 620, the third mounting part 610 is fixedly connected to the container door 200, and the fourth mounting part 620 fixes the other end of the water pipe 400.
[0058] In this embodiment, the second mounting component 600 is configured to fix the other end of the water guide pipe 400 to the door panel 202, so that the water guide pipe 400 can divert the condensate collected by the dehumidifier 300 to prevent the condensate from leaking inside the energy storage container. The second mounting component 600 includes a third mounting part 610 and a fourth mounting part 620. The third mounting part 610 is fixed to the door panel 202 with screws, and the fourth mounting part 620 can fix the other end of the water guide pipe 400 with a retaining ring.
[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the energy storage container includes two doors 200 and at least two dehumidifiers 300. The two doors 200 are a first door 210 and a second door 220, and the two dehumidifiers 300 are a first dehumidifier 310 and a second dehumidifier 320. The first door 210 and the first dehumidifier 310 are located on the first side of the container body 100, and the second door 220 and the second dehumidifier 320 are located on the second side of the container body 100. The first side and the second side are the corresponding two sides of the container body 100.
[0060] In this embodiment, the energy storage container is equipped with 10 battery clusters, namely battery cluster #1, battery cluster #2, battery cluster #3, battery cluster #4, battery cluster #5, battery cluster #6, battery cluster #7, battery cluster #8, battery cluster #9, and battery cluster #10. These 10 battery clusters are arranged in two rows within the energy storage container, with five battery clusters in each row. Simultaneously, the energy storage container also houses a liquid cooling unit and a junction box. The liquid cooling unit is arranged side-by-side with one row of battery clusters, and the junction box is arranged side-by-side with the other row of battery clusters. Therefore, the corresponding sides of the energy storage container mentioned in this application, namely the first and second sides of the container body 100, can each be equipped with a door 200, a first door 210, and a second door 220. The first door 210 is equipped with at least one dehumidifier 300, i.e., the first dehumidifier 310, and the second door 220 is equipped with one dehumidifier 300, i.e., the second dehumidifier 320.
[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet of the first dehumidifier 310 and the air inlet of the second dehumidifier 320 both face the third side of the housing 100, and the air inlet of the first dehumidifier 310 and the air outlet of the second dehumidifier 320 both face the fourth side of the housing 100; the third side and the fourth side are corresponding sides of the housing 100, and the third side and the fourth side are adjacent to the first side and the second side, respectively.
[0062] In this embodiment, the third side of the housing 100 can be understood as the top of the energy storage container, and the fourth side of the housing 100 can be understood as the bottom of the energy storage container. Therefore, the air outlet of the first dehumidifier 310 and the air inlet of the second dehumidifier 320 can face the top of the energy storage container, and the air inlet of the first dehumidifier 310 and the air outlet of the second dehumidifier 320 can face the bottom of the energy storage container. This allows the airflow of the dehumidifiers 300 on both sides of the energy storage container to pass through the top and bottom spaces, achieving clockwise airflow circulation. This ensures the flow of air in the compact space, resulting in better and more uniform dehumidification of the energy storage container.
[0063] In addition, the other end of the water pipe 400 corresponding to the first dehumidifier 310 and the second dehumidifier 320 is located at the bottom of the energy storage container.
[0064] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first dehumidifier 310 is located near the third side, and the second dehumidifier 320 is located near the fourth side.
[0065] In this embodiment, the air outlet of the first dehumidifier 310 and the air inlet of the second dehumidifier 320 can face the top of the energy storage container, and the air inlet of the first dehumidifier 310 and the air outlet of the second dehumidifier 320 can face the bottom of the energy storage container. At the same time, the first dehumidifier 310 is set at the top of the energy storage container, and the second dehumidifier 320 is set at the bottom of the energy storage container, so that the first dehumidifier 310 uses top air outlet and bottom air inlet for air exchange, and the second dehumidifier 320 uses top air inlet and bottom air outlet for air exchange. The air volume of the dehumidifiers 300 on both sides of the energy storage container passes through the top and bottom spaces, which can realize the clockwise circulation of air volume, thereby ensuring the airflow in the compact space and making the dehumidification effect of the energy storage container better and more uniform.
[0066] It should be noted that the vertical position of the dehumidifiers on both sides of the energy storage container can be designed according to the actual application, and this application does not impose specific limitations.
[0067] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
