Description

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of battery box and cabinet heat dissipation technology, and in particular relates to an adjustable air duct mechanism for an air-cooled outdoor integrated cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] In this era of booming green energy development, energy storage technology, as a bridge connecting renewable energy and stable power supply, is becoming increasingly important. Outdoor energy storage cabinets, as a key component of energy storage systems, directly affect the operating efficiency and lifespan of the entire system through their heat dissipation performance.

[0003] Currently, considering the safety of outdoor energy storage cabinets during use, heat dissipation is usually required to ensure their normal operation. The most commonly used technology in outdoor energy storage cabinets is air cooling, which removes heat from the equipment surface through airflow. This system has a relatively simple structure and low manufacturing cost, giving it an economic advantage. Conventional air cooling methods involve generating cold air from industrial air conditioners, which is then distributed to each battery compartment via ducts. The battery compartment fans then remove the heat. However, current air cooling technologies used in outdoor energy storage cabinets simply blow the generated cold air onto the battery compartments, without distributing the airflow according to the number of battery packs installed. Furthermore, due to environmental factors, the heat dissipation effect of different battery compartments may not meet expectations, resulting in large temperature differences that affect functionality and cannot meet the stringent heat dissipation requirements of high-power, high-density energy storage devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the technical problems existing in the heat dissipation process of outdoor energy storage cabinets mentioned above, and proposes an adjustable air duct mechanism for air-cooled outdoor integrated cabinets that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and can realize convenient adjustment of air volume delivery, ensuring that the battery pack has good heat dissipation performance, guaranteeing its safe use, and meeting the usage requirements.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts a technical solution of an adjustable air duct mechanism for an air-cooled outdoor integrated cabinet, comprising an air duct structure body, the air duct structure body including a main air duct, branch air ducts arranged on both sides below the main air duct, an intermediate air duct arranged below the main air duct between the two branch air ducts, a first air inlet opened in the main air duct corresponding to the branch air duct, a second air inlet opened in the main air duct corresponding to the intermediate air duct, an L-shaped air inlet arranged on one side of the main air duct, a refrigeration air conditioner arranged on the outside of the air inlet, and two sets of air volume adjustment mechanisms arranged side by side in the main air duct corresponding to the air inlet, a partition cover arranged on the rear side of one set of air volume adjustment mechanisms to separate adjacent branch air ducts and intermediate air duct, and a diverter plate arranged in an inclined manner arranged on one side of the other set of air volume adjustment mechanisms, with the end of the diverter plate close to the side of another branch air duct.

[0006] Preferably, the air volume regulating mechanism includes a mounting plate, one side of which is provided with an L-shaped rotating diverter plate, and an adjusting screw is provided below the rotating diverter plate. An arc-shaped groove is provided in the main air duct corresponding to the rotating diverter plate and is corresponding to the adjusting screw.

[0007] Preferably, air outlets are provided on the opposite side of the adjacent branch air ducts and the intermediate air duct, and an adjustment plate is provided at each air outlet.

[0008] Preferably, the branch air duct and the intermediate air duct are provided with key-shaped adjustment grooves located on both sides of the air outlet, and the outer side of the adjustment plate is provided with fastening screws for easy positioning and fastening.

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0020] Examples, such as Figures 1-5As shown, an adjustable air duct mechanism for an air-cooled outdoor integrated cabinet includes an air duct structure body. The air duct structure body includes a main air duct 1, branch air ducts 2 arranged on both sides below the main air duct 1, and a middle air duct 3 arranged below the main air duct 1 between the two branch air ducts 2. Two sets of the middle air ducts 3 are provided, and each middle air duct 3 is used in conjunction with the adjacent branch air ducts 2 on both sides. The specifications of the branch air ducts 2 on the left and right sides are different from the specifications of the middle air duct 3 located in the middle position. Of course, the appropriate specifications of the branch air ducts 2 or the middle air duct 3 can be freely selected according to different usage requirements. However, it should be noted that the specifications of the adjacent branch air ducts 2 and the middle air duct 3 must be consistent. The structure between the adjacent branch air ducts 2 and the middle air duct 3... In terms of the space area, it is used to house the battery box, so that the battery box can be cooled and dissipated. The main air duct 1, which corresponds to the branch air duct 2, has a first air inlet 1a, and the main air duct 1, which corresponds to the middle air duct 3, has a second air inlet 1b. There are two sets of the first air inlet 1a, which are located on both sides of the main air duct 1 and correspond to the branch air duct 2. There are also two sets of the second air inlet 1b, which are arranged side by side and correspond to the middle air duct 3, to ensure the smooth flow of cooling air. An L-shaped air inlet duct 4 is set on one side of the main air duct 1. A cooling air conditioner 5 is set on the outside of the air inlet duct 4. The cooling air conditioner 5 is mainly used to generate cooling air and deliver it into the main air duct 1 through the air inlet duct 4. Then it is discharged from the air inlet and acts on the battery box to ensure the effective cooling and dissipation.Two sets of airflow regulating mechanisms 6 are arranged side-by-side in the main air duct 1, corresponding to the air inlet duct 4. These mechanisms can divert and guide the cooling airflow at the inlet according to different usage requirements, i.e., adjust the flow range at the inlet of the main air duct 1 to achieve convenient adjustment of the airflow volume, ensuring more reasonable distribution of cooling air, guaranteeing the safety of the battery box during use, and meeting usage needs. Furthermore, a partition 7 is provided behind each set of airflow regulating mechanisms 6 to separate the adjacent branch air ducts 2 and the intermediate air duct 3. The function of the partition 7 is to separate the portion of air delivered by the former airflow regulating mechanism 6, directing it towards the branch air duct 2 near the air inlet duct 4 and towards the air inlet of the intermediate air duct 3, ensuring the proper flow of cooling air. For rationality, another set of air volume regulating mechanisms 6 is provided with a diverter plate 8 arranged in an inclined manner on one side, and the end of the diverter plate 8 is close to the side of another branch air duct 2. It should be further explained that: a baffle is also provided in the main air duct 1 near the second air inlet 1b, and forms a triangle with the diverter plate 8. On the one hand, it can improve the stability of the equipment components, and on the other hand, it can isolate the cooling air delivered to the middle air duct 3, preventing it from expanding outward and affecting the delivery volume. In this way, part of the cooling air will be delivered to the branch air duct 2 and the middle air duct 3 under the action of the first air volume regulating mechanism 6, and the other part of the cooling air can be delivered to the branch air duct 2 on the other side along the diverter plate 8 under the action of the subsequent air volume regulating mechanism 6, ensuring the comprehensiveness of the cooling work and meeting the usage requirements.

[0021] In the above process: the established air volume adjustment mechanism 6 can divert and guide the cooling air volume at the inlet according to different usage needs, that is, adjust the flow range of the main air duct 1 inlet to achieve convenient adjustment of the air volume delivery, ensure that the cooling air can be more reasonably distributed, ensure the safety of the battery box during use, and meet the usage requirements; this device is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and can realize convenient adjustment of air volume delivery, ensuring that the battery pack has good heat dissipation performance, ensuring its safe use, and meeting the usage requirements.

[0022] To facilitate convenient adjustment of the intake air volume, allowing it to be delivered to different branch ducts 2 or intermediate ducts 3, the air volume adjustment mechanism 6 includes a mounting plate 61. In one set of air volume adjustment mechanisms 6, the mounting plate 61 is connected to the partition cover 7 and is vertically positioned. In another set of air volume adjustment mechanisms 6, the mounting plate 61 is connected to one end of the guide plate 8 and is horizontally positioned. This ensures the accuracy and rationality of the placement of the air volume adjustment mechanism 6. One side of the mounting plate 61 is provided with an L-shaped... The rotating diverter plate 62 is connected to the mounting plate 61 using a hinge mechanism to ensure smooth adjustment. The rotating diverter plate 62 can be adjusted 180 degrees, and the adjustment point has a graduated scale for adjusting the rotation angle. This allows for airflow distribution to each branch based on the number of battery boxes used and simulation parameters. If excessive temperature differences are observed during testing, the airflow can be adjusted based on measured data. An adjusting screw 63 is located below the rotating diverter plate 62. An arc-shaped groove 1c is formed in the main air duct 1 corresponding to the diverter plate 62, and corresponds to the adjusting screw 63. The adjusting screw 63 can rotate within the arc-shaped groove 1c as the diverter plate 62 rotates. A locking nut is fitted on the outside of the adjusting screw 63 located below the main air duct 1 to position and secure the rotating diverter plate 62, preventing it from shifting. Of course, the rotation of the diverter plate 62 can also be freely driven by a combination of a stepper motor and a swing mechanism, thereby improving the automation level of the device. The function of the swing mechanism can be a linkage mechanism, which is a mature and commonly used technology known to those skilled in the art. In use: according to the required airflow output, the positions of the rotating diverter plates 62 in the two sets of airflow adjustment mechanisms 6 are adjusted. After the positions are properly adjusted, the nuts on the adjusting screws 63 are tightened to secure the rotating diverter plates 62, reducing the possibility of displacement and providing convenient conditions for the subsequent output and delivery of cooling components, thus meeting the usage requirements.

[0023] To facilitate convenient adjustment of the airflow at individual battery boxes, air outlets 9 are provided on opposite sides of adjacent branch ducts 2 and intermediate ducts 3. An adjustment plate 10 is installed at each air outlet 9. The air outlet 9 provides a convenient channel for the cooling air to be discharged. The adjustment plate 10 can be raised or lowered relative to the air outlet 9. In other words, the size of the air outlet 9 can be pre-adjusted according to the temperature rise simulation data of the battery boxes used. The adjustment point is marked with scale silk screen. When a battery box is found to have an excessive temperature difference during testing, the airflow of that battery box can be adjusted individually to ensure the stability of the battery box during use.

[0024] To further improve the rationality of the device setup and facilitate convenient adjustment of airflow at individual battery boxes, key-shaped adjustment slots 11 are provided on both the branch air duct 2 and the intermediate air duct 3, located on both sides of the air outlet 9. Fastening screws 12 are provided on the outer side of the adjustment plate 10 for easy positioning and tightening. Specifically, after the airflow adjustment mechanism 6 guides and delivers the refrigerated air generated by the air conditioning unit 5, it appropriately adjusts the adjustment plate 10 at the air outlet 9. When the adjustment plate 10 is in the appropriate position, the fastening screws 12 are tightened to conveniently secure the adjustment plate 10. This ensures effective airflow output at the air outlet 9 and allows for airflow adjustment for individual battery boxes according to different usage requirements, preventing excessive temperature differences within the battery boxes.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
