[0025] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application proposes a microgrid-based integrated energy storage device 100. The device includes a cabinet 10 and a PCS module (Power Conversion System, energy storage converter) (not shown in the attached drawings) and an energy storage module (not shown in the attached drawings) disposed within the cabinet 10. The cabinet 10 is equipped with corresponding access terminals, such as a photovoltaic access terminal 111, a grid access terminal 112, and a load access terminal 113. The PCS module is electrically connected to external photovoltaic modules through the photovoltaic access terminal 111, electrically connected to the external power grid through the grid access terminal 112, and electrically connected to the electrical load through the load access terminal 113. The PCS module is electrically connected to the energy storage module. It is understood that the components in this application represent a conventional setup for a microgrid-based energy storage device; their electrical connection structure and control principle are not detailed here, but are intended to achieve:

[0026] When the power generated by the batteries and photovoltaics is insufficient, the grid directly supplies power to the load (by controlling the circuit closure between the grid and the load through the controller in the PCS module). When the power generated by the photovoltaic modules is sufficient, the photovoltaic modules supply power to the energy storage module and the load through the PCS module; this process is ignored when the energy storage module is fully charged. Furthermore, when the power generated by the photovoltaic modules is insufficient but the power generated by the energy storage module is sufficient, the batteries supply power to the load through the PCS module. This achieves efficient management and utilization of power between photovoltaic power generation, energy storage, and the grid.

[0027] The cabinet 10 is equipped with a display screen 15 to show the current working mode and the power status of the energy storage module. Users can monitor and adjust the operating strategy in real time through the interface.

[0028] Furthermore, the cabinet 10 includes a main body, legs 12, and mounting brackets 13. The legs 12 are set at the four corners of the bottom of the main body to support the entire cabinet 10 and ensure the stability and balance of the cabinet 10 on the ground. The mounting brackets 13 are used to hang the cabinet 10 on the wall to facilitate the installation and removal of the cabinet 10. The number of mounting brackets 13 is at least four. The four mounting brackets 13 are arranged in pairs at intervals in the vertical direction on the main body, and the two mounting brackets 13 in each pair are arranged opposite each other on the back of the main body, thereby ensuring the firmness and safety of the cabinet 10 after it is hung on the wall.

[0029] In summary, the microgrid household energy storage integrated device 100 proposed in this application not only meets the requirements of efficient use of electrical energy, but also allows users to choose the appropriate installation method according to their home space layout and actual needs, thereby maximizing the use of space resources.

[0030] See Figures 1-3 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting bracket 13 is a mounting plate that is detachably connected to the back of the main body. The mounting plate has mounting holes 130. The mounting holes 130 include a first hole and a second hole that are connected vertically from top to bottom. The diameter of the first hole is smaller than the diameter of the second hole.

[0031] In this embodiment, the mounting plate can be connected to the back of the main body by bolts, clips, or other means, and is made of high-hardness materials such as steel plates or aluminum alloys to ensure its load-bearing capacity and service life. The mounting plate has mounting holes 130, and the diameter of the first hole is smaller than that of the second hole, giving the mounting member 13 better positioning and stability during connection. For example, during installation, the fastener (such as a bolt) can be initially positioned by passing it through the first hole, and then tightened through the second hole, thereby ensuring a firm and reliable connection between the mounting member 13 and the supporting structure.

[0032] Furthermore, the mounting plate includes a connecting portion 131, a transition portion 132, and a mounting portion 133; the connecting portion 131 is used to connect to the main body; one end of the transition portion 132 is connected to the connecting portion 131, and the other end extends perpendicular to the back and away from the main body; the mounting portion 133 is connected to the other end of the transition portion 132 and is parallel to the connecting portion 131, and a mounting hole 130 is provided on the mounting portion 133. This allows the device to maintain a certain spatial distance from the wall when connected to the wall via the mounting plate, preventing friction and wear caused by direct contact between the cabinet 10 and the wall surface, while also facilitating ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0033] Furthermore, the projection area of ​​the mounting portion 133 relative to the back of the main body is covered, so that the mounting portion 133 is exposed on both sides of the main body. In this way, the mounting portion 133 is easier to operate and fix during installation, because its exposure makes it easier for installers to see and touch, thereby improving installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0034] In addition, handles 14 are embedded on two opposite sides of the main body, allowing users to apply force from both sides when moving the cabinet 10. This is suitable for two people to operate simultaneously, improving moving efficiency. The handles 14 adopt an embedded design, which is tightly integrated with the main body of the cabinet 10. This not only ensures the stability of the handles 14, but also avoids scratches or collisions that may be caused by the handles 14 protruding from the surface of the cabinet 10, thus increasing safety during use.

[0035] Furthermore, the handle 14 is made of non-slip material and has an ergonomic design, which makes the user more comfortable during the carrying process and improves the user experience.

[0036] See Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the device also includes a heat dissipation box 17, and the PCS module is disposed inside the heat dissipation box 17; the heat dissipation box 17 is provided with a fan to force convection heat dissipation through the fan to ensure efficient operation of the PCS module; wherein, the opposite sides of the cabinet 10 are respectively provided with an air inlet grille 115 and an air outlet grille 116 corresponding to the heat dissipation box 17.

[0037] Specifically, the fan operation creates forced convection within the cooling box 17. Cool air enters through the air inlet grille 115, absorbs heat as it passes through the PCS module, and then becomes hot air, exiting through the air outlet grille 116. Through continuous air circulation, the heat generated by the PCS module is rapidly carried away, thereby maintaining the PCS module at a lower temperature and improving its efficiency and stability.

[0038] The heat dissipation box 17 has a partition 18 located below it, and the energy storage module is also located below the partition 18. This structurally separates the energy storage module from the PCS module, reducing mutual interference. Furthermore, the PCS module and energy storage module are arranged vertically within the cabinet, helping to reduce lateral space occupation and resulting in a slimmer overall design. Multiple through holes 181 are further provided on the partition 18, allowing the heat generated by the energy storage module to be directly transferred upwards through these holes, combining with the airflow generated by the heat dissipation box 17 for efficient heat dissipation.

[0039] In addition, the cabinet 10 is equipped with a connection terminal 19 that is electrically connected to the energy storage module. The connection terminal 19 is located on the side of the cabinet 10 and is stably connected to the internal circuit of the energy storage module. The connection terminal 19 includes a positive terminal and a negative terminal. Through the connection terminal, users can easily connect external energy storage units and easily expand energy storage capacity without making large-scale modifications to the original system, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the system.

[0040] Both the energy storage module and the energy storage unit are battery packs. The energy storage module can be connected in parallel with the energy storage unit to expand the capacity, with the positive terminals of the battery packs connected to each other and the negative terminals connected to each other, thereby increasing the total capacity of the battery pack; or the energy storage module can be connected in series with the energy storage unit to expand the capacity, by connecting multiple battery packs in sequence to form a battery chain, thereby increasing the total voltage of the battery pack.

[0041] And such as Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet 10 is further equipped with a power indicator light 114 to display the current power status of the energy storage module, allowing users to monitor the power information in real time through the display status of the indicator light 114. For example, the current power information of the energy storage module can be indicated by a combination of color and flashing frequency of the indicator light 114.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, and in some embodiments, the device also includes a BMS board 20 disposed within the cabinet 10. The BMS board 20 is connected to the energy storage module via wires and is used to monitor the status of the energy storage module in real time. The BMS board 20 is also communicatively connected to the PCS module.

[0043] Understandably, the BMS board 20 (Battery Management System board) is connected to the energy storage module via wires, allowing it to acquire key parameters such as voltage, current, and temperature of the energy storage module in real time, ensuring that the energy storage module operates within a safe and efficient range. The BMS board 20 communicates with the PCS module, enabling real-time data sharing and interaction. The BMS board 20 sends the status information of the energy storage module to the PCS module, which can then adjust its charging and discharging strategies based on this information to optimize the performance of the energy storage system.

[0044] Furthermore, the device also includes a wireless communication module 16 mounted on the cabinet 10. The wireless communication module 16 connects to the PCS module for communication with external systems and data transmission. This allows users to remotely monitor the operating status of the energy storage system, including key parameters such as power level, charging / discharging status, and equipment temperature. The wireless communication module 16 supports multiple communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and 4G / 5G, facilitating connection and communication with other smart devices or systems.

[0045] The above description is only a part or preferred embodiment of this application. Neither the text nor the drawings should limit the scope of protection of this application. 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.
