Preferred embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.
[0016] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly attached to the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.
[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structural principle of an outdoor battery container according to this utility model. Figure 1 ; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structural principle of an outdoor battery container according to this utility model. Figure 2 An outdoor battery container includes a container body 10, a fan air conditioner 20, a one-way louver 30, a battery cabinet base 40, and an environmental monitoring and control system. The top of the container body 10 has a fan air vent, and the air outlet of the fan air conditioner 20 is sealed and connected to the fan air vent. The upper side of the container body 10 has a rainproof exhaust vent, and the air inlet of the one-way louver 30 is connected to the rainproof exhaust vent. The lower side of the container body 10 has a passage door 11. The battery cabinet base 40 is fixedly connected to the container body 10, and the battery cabinet 50 is placed on the battery cabinet base 40. The fan air conditioner 20 is communicatively connected to the environmental monitoring and control system.
[0019] This utility model relates to an outdoor battery container, primarily used for storing energy storage devices such as lithium batteries. Designed for outdoor environments, it is suitable for small to medium-sized data centers, modular data centers, and medium-to-high heat density communication equipment and computer rooms. It provides uninterrupted power to these types of data center server rooms, offering convenient transportation and deployment, and has a wide range of applications. The outdoor battery container mainly consists of a container-type outer shell. A ventilation opening is located on the top of the outer shell, connected to an external air conditioning unit. When the air conditioning unit is in cooling mode, it delivers cool air into the container, significantly adjusting the temperature and pressure inside. When the air conditioning unit is not in cooling mode, it delivers fresh air from outside, slightly adjusting the temperature and pressure inside. The operation of the air conditioning unit is determined by an environmental monitoring and control system based on the ambient temperature, the temperature inside the container, and the air pressure within the container. Because the air handling unit (ATU) only transports and pressurizes gas, a rainproof exhaust vent is provided on the side of the outer casing. This vent connects to an external one-way louver. The one-way louver allows only internal air to escape to the outside, preventing outside air from entering the container. When the internal temperature of the container exceeds a set value, the environmental monitoring and control system sends an activation signal to the ATU to begin cooling, supplying cold air into the container to lower the internal temperature below the set value. When the pressure increases beyond the set value, the one-way louver opens; when the pressure falls below the set value, it closes. When the external temperature falls below the set value, the environmental monitoring and control system sends a shutdown signal to the ATU, which stops cooling and only operates the fan to bring in external cold air, lowering the internal temperature below the set value. When the pressure increases beyond the set value, the one-way louver opens; when the pressure falls below the set value, it closes. Batteries are placed on shelves in the battery cabinet, which in turn rests on a base. The base is constructed of square tubing or sheet metal, with dimensions determined by the size of the battery cabinet. To ensure sturdiness and reliability, the base is securely connected to the container. The number of bases can be designed according to the available space, and they are arranged neatly in multiple rows and columns. A access door is located below the rainproof vent for easy access and maintenance.
[0020] To improve ventilation efficiency and stabilize the air pressure inside the container, such as... Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the structural principle of an outdoor battery container according to this utility model. Figure 3 Preferably, it also includes a natural ventilation unit 60, wherein the bottom of the container body 10 has a natural ventilation opening, and the natural ventilation unit 60 is installed at the natural ventilation opening.
[0021] By setting natural ventilation openings at the bottom of the container, ventilation channels are increased. Natural ventilation units are connected to these openings. By controlling the natural ventilation units, fresh air is delivered into the container or hot air is drawn out of the container, thereby further assisting the air handling unit air conditioner in controlling temperature and air pressure.
[0022] Regarding the specific composition of natural ventilation units, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structural principle of the natural ventilation unit in this utility model; preferably, the natural ventilation unit 60 includes a centrifugal fan 61, a unit housing 62, and a dust filter 63. The unit housing 62 is fixedly connected to the container body 10. The centrifugal fan 61 is placed inside the unit housing 62. The dust filter 63 is fixed at the air inlet of the unit housing 62. The centrifugal fan 61 is communicatively connected to the environmental monitoring and control system.
[0023] The natural ventilation unit is connected to the container body through the unit shell. It uses a centrifugal fan inside the unit shell to supply or exhaust air, and it also uses a dust filter to filter the fresh air entering the container.
[0024] To address potential door malfunctions, the bottom of the container body 10 also includes an emergency inspection port 13.
[0025] If the access door malfunctions and cannot be opened, the equipment can be accessed through the emergency access port at the bottom to perform work and maintenance.
[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: by setting up standardized and modular containers, rapid prefabrication and internal layout can be achieved in the factory, facilitating transportation and deployment; by setting up air handling units to cool and ventilate the container, the temperature inside the container can be reduced; by setting up one-way louvers in conjunction with air handling units, the air pressure inside the container can be regulated; by setting up battery cabinet bases, standard cabinets can be quickly arranged with high space utilization; and by setting up an environmental monitoring and control system to control the air handling units and natural ventilation units, the temperature and air pressure inside the container can be kept moderate.
[0027] 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.
[0028] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the 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 all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
