Detailed Implementation

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example:

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an energy storage container includes a container body and a bottom structure located at the bottom of the container body. The container body itself and the energy storage equipment are existing technologies. The bottom structure includes a base frame and a water collection tank 50. The base frame includes a first support rod 10, a second support rod 20, and several crossbeams 30 located between the first support rod 10 and the second support rod 20. The energy storage equipment inside the container is installed on the top of the base frame. An installation gap 40 for accommodating the collection tank is provided between two adjacent crossbeams 30. A first through hole 11 communicating with the installation gap 40 is transversely passed through the side wall of the first support rod 10. The water collection tank 50... It is strip-shaped, with the first perforation 11 matching the end of the water collection tank 50. The bottom of the water collection tank 50 is provided with a drain outlet 51. The bottom surface of the water collection tank 50 is inclined from high to low along the direction close to the drain outlet 51, with an inclination slope of 1%-3%. The end of the water collection tank 50 near the first perforation 11 is provided with a cover plate 52. The cover plate 52 is provided with a connecting hole 53. The first support rod 10 is provided with a screw hole 12 corresponding to the connecting hole 53. A bolt 80 can be used to connect the connection hole 53 and the screw hole 12. A pull ring 54 can also be provided on the outer side of the cover plate 52 to facilitate pulling the water collection tank 50.

[0029] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0030] In the bottom structure of this energy storage container, the water collection trough 50 can pass through the first through hole 11 into the installation gap 40 between the crossbeams 30. One end of the water collection trough 50 abuts against the inner side of the second support rod 20, and the other end is supported by the first through hole 11. The end cover plate 52 fits against the outer side of the first support rod 10. The connecting hole 53 and the screw hole 12 are aligned, and the bolts 80 are screwed in to fix the water collection trough 50 and the first support rod 10. The two long sides of the water collection trough 50 are tightly attached to the sides of the crossbeams 30. The water collection trough 50 plays a role in drainage. The condensate generated inside the container can flow into the water collection trough 50 due to gravity and flow to the drain outlet 51 for discharge. If impurities accumulate in the water collection trough 50 for a long time, the bolts 80 can be unscrewed and the pull ring 54 can be pulled out of the water collection trough 50 from the first through hole 11 for easy cleaning and maintenance.

[0031] In another embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a third support rod 60 is also provided parallel to the middle between the first support rod 10 and the second support rod 20. The crossbeam 30 is respectively vertically arranged between the first support rod 10 and the third support rod 60 and between the second support rod 20 and the third support rod 60. The side wall of the third support rod 60 has a second through hole 61 that connects the installation gap 40. The second through hole 61 matches the middle of the water collection tank 50. Since the bottom of the water collection tank 50 is inclined, the depth of the water collection tank 50 is deeper the closer to the bottom of the water collection tank 50. In order to facilitate the installation of the water collection tank 50, the drain outlet 51 is set at the end of the water collection tank 50 near the first through hole 11. That is, the depth of the water collection tank 50 from the drain outlet 51 at the end of the water collection tank 50 near the first through hole 11 to the other end of the water collection tank 50 gradually decreases. In addition, in order to provide better support for the inclined bottom of the water collection tank 50, the bottom side of the first through hole 11 and the bottom side of the second through hole 61 can be respectively set to match the slope of the bottom of the water collection tank 50.

[0032] Adding a third support rod 60 can further improve the stability of the base frame, provide support for the middle of the water collection tank 50, and improve the stability of the installation of the water collection tank 50.

[0033] In another embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the long sides of the water collection tank 50 are inclined and combined with the bottom of the water collection tank 50 to form an inverted trapezoidal groove.

[0034] This further facilitates the collection of condensate into the water collection tank 50.

[0035] In another embodiment, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the top sides of the long side of the water collection tank 50 are also provided with overlapping edges 55, the top side of the crossbeam 30 is provided with a groove 31 matching the overlapping edge 55, and the sides of the first through hole 11 and the sides of the second through hole 61 are respectively provided with notches 13 that connect the groove 31 and match the overlapping edge 55.

[0036] The notch 13 allows the overlapping edge 55 to pass through, and the overlapping edges 55 on both sides of the water collection trough 50 can overlap the groove 31, which facilitates the stable installation of the water collection trough 50 and prevents large gaps from forming between the water collection trough 50 and the crossbeam 30, thus avoiding leakage.

[0037] In another embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the drain outlet 51 is equipped with a protective component, including a connecting cylinder 71 and a movable cover 72 hinged to one side of the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 71. A torsion spring is provided at the hinge point between the movable cover 72 and the connecting cylinder 71. The top end of the connecting cylinder 71 is provided with a handle 73, which is an arc-shaped rod with both ends connected to the two sides of the top end of the connecting cylinder 71. The outer side of the connecting cylinder is provided with an external thread, and the inner side of the drain outlet 51 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread.

[0038] When replacing or cleaning the protective components, the handle 73 can be turned to remove the connecting cylinder 71 together with the movable cover 72. When there is little water in the connecting cylinder 71, the movable cover 72 is closed due to the spring force of the torsion spring, preventing external impurities from entering. When the water volume is greater than the spring force, it will be opened briefly to drain the water. This structure can reduce the amount of water entering the energy storage container through the drain outlet 51.

[0039] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
