[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this application proposes a modular microgrid photovoltaic-storage-charging device 100. The device includes a base 10, multiple energy storage modules 20 stacked sequentially on the base 10, a load connection module 30 stacked on top of the energy storage modules 20, and a PCS module 40 stacked on the load connection module 30. The base 10 serves as the supporting foundation for the entire device, ensuring its stability and load-bearing capacity. The energy storage modules 20 are used to store electrical energy and can be implemented as energy storage batteries. The load connection module 30 is responsible for connecting to the load to realize the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. The PCS module 40 (power conversion system) is stacked on the load connection module 30 and is responsible for converting electrical energy. The PCS module 40 is electrically connected to external photovoltaic modules and the external power grid, and also maintains an electrical connection with the energy storage modules 20 and the load connection module 30. Furthermore, the working process of the photovoltaic-storage-charging device proposed in this application is as follows:
[0030] When the photovoltaic modules generate sufficient power, the power generated by the photovoltaic modules passes through the PCS module 40 and then through the load connection module 30 to power the load and simultaneously charge the energy storage module 20. Typically, a combiner box is installed between the photovoltaic modules and the PCS cabinet connection circuit. The DC circuit breaker in the combiner box prevents faults such as excessive current and short circuits, protecting the photovoltaic modules and the entire photovoltaic power generation system from damage. When the power generated by the photovoltaic modules is insufficient, the energy storage module 20 discharges and then passes through the PCS module 40 to power the load through the load connection module 30. In cases where the power generated by both the photovoltaic modules and the energy storage module 20 is insufficient, the grid generates power to power the load and simultaneously charge the energy storage module 20.
[0031] To achieve connection between modules, a first mating surface 21 is formed on the top of the load connection module, energy storage module, and base, and a raised rib 22 is formed above the first mating surface 21. A first magnetic attractor (located inside, not shown in the figure) is provided below the first mating surface 21. A second mating surface 26 corresponding to the first mating surface 21 is provided at the bottom of the PCS module, load connection module, and energy storage module. An embedding groove 27 matching the raised rib 22 is formed in the second mating surface 26, and a second magnetic attractor (located inside, not shown in the figure) is provided below the second mating surface 26. The raised rib 22 is inserted into the embedding groove 27 to allow adjacent modules to be nested together, and the position between adjacent modules is locked by the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic attractors.
[0032] This structural design employs a dual approach of physical engagement and magnetic fixation to achieve rapid positioning and stable connection between modules. Specifically, a raised rib 22 is provided on the first mating surface 21, and the embedding groove 27 on the second mating surface 26 precisely matches the raised rib 22, ensuring the unique orientation of the modules during installation. Furthermore, the first and second magnetic components are respectively embedded below the first mating surface 21 and the second mating surface 26. Through the design of the magnetic pole orientation, they automatically attract upon contact between the modules, achieving a stable connection between them through magnetic force.
[0033] Preferably, the first and second magnetic attractors are made of neodymium iron boron lamp high magnetic energy product material, which is robust, has strong magnetic force and is small in size; in the layout, the first and second magnetic attractors need to be opposite poles (such as N and N poles) to ensure that the maximum attraction is generated when they come into contact.
[0034] In this application, the device adopts a modular design, with each module capable of independent manufacturing and assembly, facilitating production, transportation, and maintenance. Furthermore, the modules are detachably connected, allowing users to easily add, remove, or replace modules to adapt to different power demands. For example, the number of energy storage modules 20 can be increased or decreased according to power requirements. Therefore, the photovoltaic-energy storage-charging device proposed in this application has high adaptability and scalability. In addition, this stacked design improves the overall compactness of the device, and the vertical stacking makes it more efficient in space utilization.
[0035] In some embodiments, a flexible seal (not shown in the drawings) is also provided within the embedding groove 27, and the raised rib 22 compresses the flexible seal within the embedding groove 27. Understandably, the seal undergoes elastic deformation under the compression of the raised rib 22, filling the gap between the embedding groove 27 and the raised rib 22, preventing moisture, dust, and other contaminants from entering the module interior, significantly improving the waterproofness, dustproofness, and environmental adaptability of the modular connection. The flexible seal can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone.
[0036] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the device further includes a positioning component, which includes a plurality of positioning posts 23 disposed on the top of the load connection module 30, the energy storage module 20 and the base 10, and positioning holes 29 corresponding to the positioning posts 23 opened on the bottom of the PCS module 40, the load connection module 30 and the energy storage module 20.
[0037] In this embodiment, a positioning component is provided to ensure that the connection between modules is precise and stable through the synergistic effect of the positioning component and the locking mechanism, thereby improving the performance and reliability of the entire device.
[0038] The cooperation between the positioning pins 23 and the positioning holes 29 reduces the problem of loose or unstable connections caused by positional deviations. At the same time, the design of the positioning components makes the module installation process simpler and faster. Users only need to align the module with the positioning pins 23 and insert it into the positioning holes 29 to achieve a quick connection between modules. For example, when there are two positioning pins 23, the two positioning pins 23 are diagonally arranged on the module, which can more effectively limit the rotation and offset of the module in the plane, achieving more accurate positioning.
[0039] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the PCS module 40, the load connection module 30, and the energy storage module 20 are all provided with plug-in female connectors 28, and the top of the load connection module 30 and the energy storage module 20 are provided with plug-in male connectors 24, so as to realize the electrical connection between the modules through the plug-in female connectors 28 and the plug-in male connectors 24; wherein, at least two sets of plug-in female connectors 28 and plug-in male connectors 24 are provided between the PCS module 40 and the load connection module 30, one set is used to establish the electrical connection between the PCS module 40 and the load connection module 30, and the other set is used to establish the electrical connection between the PCS module 40 and the energy storage module 20 based on the load connection module 30.
[0040] In this embodiment, the use of plug-in male connector 24 and plug-in female connector 28 aims to achieve fast and reliable electrical connection between modules through a plug-in connection mechanism. The plug-in male connector 24 and plug-in female connector 28 in each module are electrically connected via cables, making the connection and disconnection between modules very convenient. Users can achieve electrical connection or disconnection between modules simply by moving them relative to each other.
[0041] The multiple plug-in connections make the electrical connections between modules more flexible and efficient. In this embodiment, the load connection module 30 is used as an intermediary to facilitate the electrical connection between the PCS module 40 and multiple energy storage modules 20.
[0042] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the load connection module 30 is a vehicle charging module, and the vehicle charging module is equipped with a charging gun 310 for charging electric vehicles.
[0043] As one application of the load connection module 30, the vehicle charging module's core function is to provide charging services for electric vehicles. The vehicle charging module is equipped with a charging gun 310, which can be connected to the internal circuitry of the module via a cable, thereby transferring electrical energy to the electric vehicle's battery.
[0044] In some other embodiments, the load connection module 30 can also provide power to other devices, such as smart home devices and power banks. Its versatility greatly expands application scenarios and enhances the overall system's practicality and convenience.
[0045] Furthermore, the energy storage module 20 is equipped with a first indicator light 210, which displays the power level of the energy storage module 20, allowing users to monitor its power status at any time and facilitate timely charging or adjustment of power usage plans. In the spliced microgrid photovoltaic energy storage and charging device 100, the power status of multiple energy storage modules 20 can be displayed through their respective first indicator lights 210, enabling users to comprehensively understand the power distribution of the system. A second indicator light 320 is also provided on the side wall of the load connection module 30; the second indicator light 320 indicates the total power level of the energy storage modules 20. By observing the status of the second indicator light 320, users can quickly understand the total power level of all energy storage modules 20 in the system, thereby judging the overall energy storage capacity of the system. For example, the indicator light is solid green when the power level is sufficient, yellow when the power level is moderate, and red and flashing when the power level is low. By observing the on / off state, color change, or flashing frequency of the indicator light, users can intuitively understand the remaining power level of the energy storage module 20.
[0046] In some embodiments, handle slots 25 are provided on the opposite sidewalls of the PCS module 40, the load connection module 30, and the energy storage module 20. The handle slots 25 allow users to easily grasp the module and move it from one position to another, thereby improving operational convenience and efficiency.
[0047] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the base 10 is provided with four support legs 11 at its bottom corners, and the support legs 11 are adjustable in height. This allows it to flexibly adapt to various uneven ground environments. By adjusting the height of the support legs 11, it can be ensured that the base 10 and the entire device remain horizontal and stable, avoiding tilting or shaking caused by uneven ground.
[0048] Furthermore, the bottom of the support leg 11 is provided with a self-locking wheel 12. The wheel 12 allows the device to be easily moved between different locations, and the self-locking function of the wheel 12 allows the wheel 12 to be fixed after the device is moved to a designated position, preventing the device from tipping over or being damaged due to accidental movement. For example, the wheel 12 can be a fuma wheel.
[0049] In addition, a fixing plate 13 is provided on the opposite side of the base 10. The fixing plate 13 is used to fix the device to the wall when it is installed against the wall; the fixing plate 13 is provided with locking holes. The fixing plate 13 ensures that the device is fixedly connected to the wall when it is installed against the wall, preventing it from tipping over or shifting due to external forces (such as wind, vibration, etc.). The locking holes on the fixing plate 13 are shaped to cooperate with fasteners (such as expansion bolts, screws, etc.) on the wall.

All equivalent structural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings under the overall concept of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
