Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of off-peak electricity storage technology, and in particular to an off-peak electricity storage module. Background Technology

[0002] Off-peak electricity, also known as low-peak electricity, is a pricing period for electricity in the power industry based on changes in grid load. It usually refers to the period of day when electricity demand is low. Because electricity consumption is low at night, a large amount of electricity is lost. Therefore, off-peak electricity storage devices are usually needed to store the electricity during the off-peak period (off-peak electricity period) of the grid using energy storage technology, and then release it for use during the peak electricity demand period in order to adjust peak demand and reduce losses.

[0003] Prior art application number 202021834331.2 discloses an off-peak electricity storage module, including a housing and a battery module. The housing has a first opening at the bottom and a second opening at the top, and is not closed on the front and back sides, each with a door. One side of the door is hinged to the housing. A magnet is installed on the housing, and an iron bar is installed on the door. When the door is closed, the magnet attracts the iron bar to lock the door. One side of the left and right sides of the housing has a vertically arranged slot, and the other side has a vertically arranged insert for insertion into the slot. The battery module is placed inside the housing. A first fan is installed in the first opening, and a second fan is installed in the second opening. An energy storage device, including the above-mentioned off-peak electricity storage module, is also disclosed. This off-peak electricity storage module can store and discharge electricity. This energy storage device is used to charge and store energy during off-peak hours to reduce grid energy loss, and then release energy during peak hours to reduce grid load.

[0004] However, the above technical solution has some problems: First, the charging connector of the battery module is not protected, which may cause accidental contact or contact with water or other liquids, posing certain safety hazards; Second, the two modules that are plugged into each other are not limited, and the two modules may become loose, which may cause the charging connector to disconnect or repeatedly disconnect, thus affecting off-peak energy storage and posing certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a valley electricity storage module in which connectors A and B slide on corresponding slide rails, allowing them to enter and exit through a through hole. The cover opens and closes the through hole, thereby protecting connectors A and B, preventing accidental contact with the connectors and contact with liquids, improving safety, and providing a simple, efficient, safe, reliable, and easy-to-operate valley electricity storage module.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a valley power storage module is provided, including a housing and a battery module disposed within the housing. The housing has matching slots and inserts on both sides. Through holes are opened on both sides of the housing, and a cover covering the through holes is provided on the housing for movement. A slide rail extending towards the through holes is provided inside the housing, and matching connectors A and B slide on the two slide rails respectively. Connectors A and B are respectively connected to the battery module. Connectors A and B slide on their corresponding slide rails, allowing them to enter and exit the through holes. The cover opens and closes the through holes, thus protecting connectors A and B, preventing accidental contact with the connectors and contact with liquids, and improving safety.

[0007] As an optimization, the cover is connected to the corresponding connectors A and B respectively through the transmission mechanism A; the movement of the cover drives connectors A and B to slide on the slide rail, increasing the convenience of operation.

[0008] As an optimization, the cover slides on the box body, and the cover is connected to the box body via a return spring A; the transmission mechanism A includes transmission rods A respectively hinged to both sides of the box body, and transmission rods A are hinged to the corresponding covers via transmission rods B; the transmission rods A have elongated holes, and joints A and B are respectively slidably installed in the corresponding elongated holes; the transmission rods A and B cause joints A and B to move with the cover body, and the return spring A causes the cover body to automatically return to its original position, increasing the convenience of operation.

[0009] As an optimization, the cover slides on the box along the slot axis, the covers on both sides of the box are arranged opposite each other, and the projections of the opposite covers on adjacent boxes on the slot axis overlap; by automatically opening the cover and automatically connecting connector A and connector B during the mutual insertion of the boxes, the convenience of operation is increased.

[0010] As an optimization, the two sides of the box are respectively provided with limiting grooves and limiting blocks. The limiting blocks slide on the box in the direction of the limiting grooves, and the limiting blocks are connected to the box through the return spring B. The limiting grooves and limiting blocks fix the interlocking boxes to prevent the boxes from loosening and causing the connectors A and B to repeatedly disconnect, thereby reducing safety hazards.

[0011] As an optimization, the box body is equipped with a handle that slides vertically upwards. The handle is connected to a limit block via a transmission mechanism B. When the handle is lifted, the limit block is automatically moved away from the limit groove, increasing the convenience of use.

[0012] As an optimization, the contact pieces of connector A and connector B are staggered in a direction perpendicular to the slot axis, and the contact pieces of connector A and connector B extend along the slot axis; the contact pieces of connector A and connector B facilitate the connection of connector A and connector B.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Connectors A and B slide on corresponding slide rails, allowing them to enter and exit through the through holes. The opening and closing of the through holes by the cover protects connectors A and B, preventing accidental contact and liquid contact, thus improving safety. During the interlocking of the housings, the relatively positioned covers move relative to each other and automatically open. Transmission mechanism A causes connectors A and B to automatically extend and connect, increasing operational convenience. Limiting grooves and blocks fix the interlocking housings, preventing loosening that could cause connectors A and B to repeatedly disconnect, thus reducing safety hazards. Lifting the handle causes the limiting blocks to automatically move away from the limiting groove, increasing ease of use. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figure 1The present invention discloses a valley power storage module, comprising a housing 1 and a battery module 2 disposed within the housing 1. The housing 1 has corresponding slots 101 and inserts 102 on its two sides. Through holes 103 are provided on both sides of the housing 1, and a cover 3 covering the through holes 103 is provided on the housing 1. A slide rail 4 extending towards the through holes 103 is provided inside the housing 1. Corresponding connectors A5 and B6 are slidably mounted on the two slide rails 4, and connectors A5 and B6 are respectively connected to the battery module 2. The slots 101 and inserts 102 are located on the left and right sides of the housing 1, respectively, and the through holes 103 are located on the left and right sides of the housing 1. A cover 3 is provided on the left and right sides of the housing 1, respectively. The axis of the slide rail 4 and the axis of the through hole 103 are parallel to each other.

[0025] Move the covers 3 on both sides of the housing 1, and open the through holes 103 on both sides of the housing 1 respectively; pull the connectors A5 and B6 respectively, and the connectors A5 and B6 slide on the corresponding slide rails 4 until the connectors A5 and B6 pass through the through holes 103 and enter the outside of the housing 1; connect the different housings 1 to each other through the slots 101 and the plugs 102 until the corresponding connectors A5 and B6 on the adjacent housings 1 are connected to each other, and the battery modules 2 in the different housings 1 are connected in sequence; push the connectors A5 and B6 on the outermost housing 1, and the connectors A5 and B6 slide on the corresponding slide rails 4 until the connectors A5 and B6 pass through the through holes 103 and enter the inside of the housing 1; move the cover 3 on the outermost housing 1, and the cover 3 closes the corresponding through hole 103.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 The cover 3 shown is connected to the corresponding connectors A5 and B6 via the transmission mechanism A7.

[0027] Move the covers 3 on both sides of the housing 1, and the through holes 103 on both sides of the housing 1 will open respectively; at the same time, the covers 3 move and pull the corresponding connectors A5 and B6 through the transmission mechanism A7 respectively. The connectors A5 and B6 slide on the corresponding slide rails 4 until the connectors A5 and B6 pass through the through holes 103 and enter the outside of the housing 1; move the cover 3 on the outermost housing 1, and the cover 3 moves and pulls the corresponding connectors A5 and B6 through the transmission mechanism A7 respectively. The connectors A5 and B6 slide on the corresponding slide rails 4 until the connectors A5 and B6 pass through the through holes 103 and enter the inside of the housing 1. At the same time, the covers 3 close the corresponding through holes 103.

[0028] like Figures 1-3The cover 3 is slidably mounted on the box 1, and the cover 3 is connected to the box 1 by a return spring A8; the transmission mechanism A7 includes transmission rods A701 respectively hinged to both sides of the box 1, and transmission rods A701 are hinged to the corresponding cover 3 by transmission rods B702; the transmission rods A701 are provided with elongated holes 7011, and connectors A5 and B6 are respectively slidably mounted in the corresponding elongated holes 7011.

[0029] A sliding groove is provided on the housing 1, and the cover 3 slides in the sliding groove; the return spring A8 extends along the sliding direction of the cover 3, and a guide rod A14 extending along the sliding direction of the cover 3 is sleeved inside the return spring A8, and the guide rod A14 slides on the housing 1; the hinge axis of the transmission rod A701 is perpendicular to the axis of the sliding groove, and the hinge axis of the transmission rod B702 is parallel to the hinge axis of the transmission rod A701. The two ends of the transmission rod B702 are respectively hinged to the cover 3 and the transmission rod A701; the elongated hole 7011 extends along the axial direction of the transmission rod A701, the elongated hole 7011 is located at one end of the transmission rod A701, and the other end of the transmission rod A701 is hinged to the housing 1. The hinge part of the transmission rod B702 and the transmission rod A701 is located in the middle part of the transmission rod A701.

[0030] When the covers 3 on both sides of the movable housing 1 are moved, the return spring A8 retracts, and the covers 3 gradually move away from the corresponding through holes 103. At the same time, the covers 3 drive the transmission rod A701 to rotate through the transmission rod B702. The transmission rod A701 drives the connectors A5 and B6 to slide toward the through holes 103 on the corresponding slide rails 4. The connectors A5 and B6 slide in the corresponding elongated holes 7011 respectively. Until the covers 3 are completely away from the through holes 103, the connectors A5 and B6 pass through the corresponding through holes 103 and enter the outside of the housing 1.

[0031] Release the cover 3, the return spring A8 relaxes, and move the cover 3 on the outermost box 1. The cover 3 gradually approaches the corresponding through hole 103. At the same time, the cover 3 drives the transmission rod A701 to rotate through the transmission rod B702. The transmission rod A701 drives the connector A5 and connector B6 to slide on the corresponding slide rail 4 toward the side away from the through hole 103. The connector A5 and connector B6 slide in the corresponding elongated hole 7011 respectively. Until the connector A5 and connector B6 pass through the corresponding through hole 103 and enter the box 1, the cover 3 completely covers the through hole 103.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 The cover 3 shown is slidably mounted on the box 1 along the axial direction of the slot 101. The covers 3 on both sides of the box 1 are arranged opposite each other, and the projections of the covers 3 arranged opposite each other on the adjacent box 1 in the axial direction of the slot 101 overlap.

[0033] The boxes 1 are inserted into each other, and the corresponding covers 3 on the two boxes 1 gradually approach each other and abut against each other. Under the action of the gravity of the boxes 1, the two covers 3 slide on the corresponding boxes 1 respectively.

[0034] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The box 1 shown is provided with a limiting groove 104 and a limiting block 9 on both sides. The limiting block 9 slides on the box 1 in the direction of the limiting groove 104, and the limiting block 9 is connected to the box 1 through a return spring B10. A guide rod B15 is sleeved inside the return spring B10, and the guide rod B15 slides on the box 1.

[0035] The housings 1 are plugged into each other. The limiting block 9 retracts inward under the pressure of the housing 1, and the return spring B10 retracts. Until the limiting groove 104 moves to the movement trajectory of the limiting block 9, the return spring B10 relaxes, and the limiting block 9 enters the limiting groove 104 under the action of the return spring B10, and the two adjacent housings 1 are locked together.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 The box 1 shown is equipped with a handle 11 that slides vertically. The handle 11 is connected to the limiting block 9 through a transmission mechanism B12. The transmission mechanism B12 is existing technology and can be a rope drive, rod drive, etc.

[0037] Lift the handle 11, and the handle 11 slides upward on the box 1 and drives the limit block 9 to move away from the limit groove 104 through the transmission mechanism B12. The return spring B10 contracts until the limit block 9 is completely disengaged from the limit groove 104. At the same time, the handle 11 pulls the box 1 upward.

[0038] like Figure 6 The contact pieces 13 of connectors A5 and B6 are arranged alternately in a direction perpendicular to the axis of slot 101, and the contact pieces 13 of connectors A5 and B6 extend axially along slot 101.

[0039] After connectors A5 and B6 extend out of housing 1 and gradually approach each other, the contact pieces 13 of connectors A5 and B6 are intertwined and connected to each other; after connectors A5 and B6 retract into housing 1 and gradually move away from each other, the contact pieces 13 of connectors A5 and B6 are disconnected from each other.

[0040] In actual production, when the handle 11 is lifted, it slides upward on the box 1 and drives the limiting block 9 to retract inward through the transmission mechanism B12; the insert block 102 of the box 1 is placed into the slot 101 of the corresponding box 1, and the two boxes 1 are inserted into each other; the lifted box 1 is gradually moved downward, and the two boxes 1 move towards each other, and the insert block 102 slides in the slot 101; the corresponding covers 3 on the two boxes 1 gradually approach each other and abut against each other, and under the action of the gravity of the box 1, the two covers 3 slide on the corresponding box 1 respectively.

[0041] The two covers 3 slide on their respective housings 1, the return spring A8 contracts, and the covers 3 gradually move away from the corresponding through holes 103; at the same time, the covers 3 drive the transmission rod A701 to rotate through the transmission rod B702, and the transmission rod A701 drives the connectors A5 and B6 to slide toward the through holes 103 on the corresponding slide rails 4, and the connectors A5 and B6 slide in the corresponding elongated holes 7011; until the covers 3 are completely away from the through holes 103, and at the same time the connectors A5 and B6 pass through the corresponding through holes 103 and enter the outside of the housing 1.

[0042] After connectors A5 and B6 extend out of housing 1 and gradually approach each other, the contact pieces 13 of connectors A5 and B6 are interlaced and connected to each other, and the battery modules 2 in different housings 1 are connected in sequence; at the same time, the limiting groove 104 moves to the movement trajectory of the limiting block 9, the reset spring B10 relaxes, and the limiting block 9 enters the limiting groove 104 under the action of the reset spring B10, and the two adjacent housings 1 are locked together.

[0043] Lifting handle 11 causes it to slide upwards on the housing 1, driving the limiting block 9 to move away from the limiting groove 104 via transmission mechanism B12, while the return spring B10 contracts. This continues until the limiting block 9 is completely disengaged from the limiting groove 104, and simultaneously, handle 11 pulls the housing 1 upwards. The two housings 1 move in opposite directions, and the insert block 102 slides within the slot 101; the return spring A8 relaxes, and the two covers 3 slide on their respective housings 1.

[0044] The two covers 3 slide toward the corresponding through holes 103, and at the same time, the covers 3 drive the transmission rod A701 to rotate via the transmission rod B702. The transmission rod A701 drives the connectors A5 and B6 to slide on the corresponding slide rails 4 toward the side away from the through holes 103. The connectors A5 and B6 slide in the corresponding elongated holes 7011. The connectors A5 and B6 gradually retract into the housing 1 and move away from each other, and the contact pieces 13 of the connectors A5 and B6 disconnect from each other. Until the connectors A5 and B6 pass through the corresponding through holes 103 and enter the housing 1, the covers 3 completely cover the corresponding through holes 103.

[0045] After the two boxes 1 are completely separated, the handle 11 is released, the return spring B10 relaxes, and the limit block 9 returns to its original position under the action of the return spring B10.
