[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model discloses a small-scale off-grid and grid-connected lithium battery energy storage device, including a cabinet 1. A vortex fan 2 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1, and a frame 3 is installed inside the cabinet 1. Strip-shaped air knives 4 are evenly distributed on both sides of the frame 3, and the strip-shaped air knives 4 are connected to the air outlet of the vortex fan 2 through flexible hoses. An energy storage battery 5 is installed at the bottom of the frame 3, and a thermistor 6 is attached to the surface of the energy storage battery 5. An energy storage converter 7 is placed at the top of the frame 3, and the energy storage converter 7 is electrically connected to the energy storage battery 5 through wires. An exhaust fan 8 is installed at the top of the cabinet 1, and the front side of the cabinet 1... The cabinet door 9 is installed via hinges, and a temperature control panel 10 is embedded in the cabinet door 9. Ventilation and heat dissipation are carried out by the exhaust fan 8 during operation to keep the temperature inside the cabinet within a suitable range. A thermistor 6 is attached to the surface of the battery to directly measure the surface temperature of the battery. When the battery temperature reaches the warning value, the vortex fan 2 sends air into the strip air knife 4. Under the action of the strip air knife 4, a strong air curtain is formed and blown directly onto the battery for cooling, which helps the battery to quickly return to the suitable operating temperature range. The vortex fan 2, the thermistor 6 and the exhaust fan 8 are electrically connected to the temperature control panel 10.
[0020] Specifically, a groove 11 is provided on one side of the cabinet 1, and a terminal block 12 is installed on the groove 11.
[0021] In this embodiment, the terminal block 12 is an important tool for connecting the power supply to the load. Its connection process can not only adapt to electrical equipment of different voltage levels, but also provide power and transmit signals to the electrical equipment. The groove 11 is used to provide a fixed position for the terminal block 12.
[0022] Specifically, the energy storage converter 7 and the temperature control panel 10 are electrically connected to the terminal block 12 via wires.
[0023] In this implementation scheme, the energy storage converter 7 can realize the mutual conversion between DC and AC power, and control the charging and discharging process of the battery. It converts DC power into AC power or vice versa through a built-in DC / AC bidirectional converter, ensuring bidirectional energy flow between the grid and the energy storage system. In grid-connected mode, the energy storage converter 7 can charge or discharge according to the grid demand. During the off-peak period, it rectifies the AC power of the grid into DC power to charge the energy storage battery 5. During the peak period, it inverts the DC power in the battery into AC power and feeds it back to the grid, achieving the purpose of peak shaving and valley filling, power load balancing and power quality regulation. In off-grid mode, the energy storage converter 7 can independently supply power to the local load, act as the power source of the microgrid, provide stable voltage and frequency, and ensure the normal operation of the local load. This mode is particularly suitable for remote areas, islands and other areas not covered by the grid, as well as emergency disaster relief and other occasions. The temperature control panel 10 refers to the temperature controller, which intelligently adjusts the working mode of related equipment by monitoring the ambient temperature in real time and comparing it with the preset temperature to achieve the purpose of energy saving and comfort.
[0024] Specifically, the lower side wall of the cabinet 1 is provided with an opening 13, and the air inlet of the vortex fan 2 is connected to the opening 13.
[0025] In this embodiment, the vortex blower 2 is mainly used to provide strong airflow and negative pressure, and the inlet 13 is used to introduce outside air into the vortex blower 2.
[0026] Specifically, the strip-shaped air knife 4 is located on the upper surface of the energy storage battery 5, and the thermistor 6 is located on the bottom surface of the energy storage battery 5.
[0027] In this embodiment, the strip air knife 4 is a device specially designed to blow out a strong and high-speed airflow to remove dust, dry water stains, and cool down. The thermistor 6 is a surface-mount NTC that can accurately measure temperature. Its resistance changes with temperature, so it is often used in various temperature measurement devices.
[0028] Specifically, the air inlet of the exhaust fan 8 is located inside the cabinet 1, and the lower part of the cabinet door 9 is equipped with louvers 14.
[0029] In this implementation scheme, the main function of the exhaust fan 8 is heat dissipation. Electrical equipment generates a lot of heat during operation. If it is not dissipated in time, it may cause the equipment to overheat, be damaged, or even stop working. The exhaust fan 8 reduces the temperature inside the cabinet by expelling the hot air inside the cabinet and introducing fresh air, thereby extending the service life of the equipment and improving production efficiency. The louver 14 is designed to allow air circulation and help dissipate heat inside the cabinet.
[0030] Specifically, a flat lock 15 is installed on the cabinet door 9, and the flat lock 15 is locked to the cabinet body 1.
[0031] In this implementation plan, the flat lock 15 can significantly improve the security of the cabinet. Its main functions include ensuring security, facilitating operation and maintenance, adapting to harsh environments, and preventing unauthorized access.
[0032] During use, the exhaust fan 8 is used for ventilation and heat dissipation to keep the temperature inside the cabinet within a suitable range. A thermistor 6 is attached to the surface of the battery to directly measure the surface temperature of the battery. When the battery temperature reaches the warning value, the vortex fan 2 sends air into the strip air knife 4. Under the action of the strip air knife 4, a strong air curtain is formed and blown directly onto the battery for cooling, which helps the battery to quickly return to the suitable operating temperature range.
[0033] In summary, this small on-grid and off-grid lithium battery energy storage device uses exhaust fan 8 for ventilation and heat dissipation during operation to maintain the temperature inside the cabinet within a suitable range. A thermistor 6 is attached to the battery surface to directly measure the battery surface temperature. When the battery temperature reaches the warning value, the vortex fan 2 sends air into the strip air knife 4. Under the action of the strip air knife 4, a strong air curtain is formed and blown directly onto the battery for cooling, which helps the battery to quickly return to the suitable operating temperature range.
