Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery installation technology in modular power stations, specifically to a battery rack. Background Technology
[0002] The primary function of a battery in a diesel generator is to provide the power required for starting. When starting the generator set, the battery provides the necessary current to the starter motor, thus driving the diesel engine to start smoothly. Especially during cold starts, the diesel engine requires a large starting torque, and the battery can provide a large instantaneous current to meet this demand. The battery also provides a continuous and stable power supply to the diesel generator's control system and protection devices. During generator operation, if the mains power supply fails, the battery will immediately step in to provide power to critical systems and equipment. These functions together ensure the stable and safe operation of the diesel generator.
[0003] In existing modular power plants, due to strict limitations on the external dimensions of the enclosure, the internal structure is very compact, and batteries are often placed in narrow passageways. For example, in a dual-unit power plant, batteries are often placed between the two units. Existing batteries use an exposed structure and are simply fixed. When maintenance personnel pass through the units, they have to step on the batteries. The batteries become chemically unstable after being squeezed, causing safety hazards and affecting their lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and propose a battery rack that allows for normal installation of batteries in narrow spaces while protecting the batteries from compression.
[0005] The solution is a battery rack, including a frame for mounting batteries, with a cover plate detachably connected to the top of the frame and a base plate fixed to the bottom; the batteries are placed on the base plate, with the cover plate and batteries spaced apart; a pressure plate is provided above the batteries, with pull rods vertically passing through both ends of the pressure plate, a wing nut threaded to the upper end of the pull rod, and the lower end of the pull rod slidingly connected to the frame.
[0006] Preferably, the frame includes vertical beams, longitudinal beams, and horizontal beams. The longitudinal beams and horizontal beams are fixedly connected end to end to form a rectangular frame. There are two rectangular frames, which are spaced apart vertically. The vertical beams are vertically fixedly connected to the two rectangular frames. The base plate is fixedly located at the bottom of the lower rectangular frame.
[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the frame is provided with a horizontal guide rail fixed to the outside of the crossbeam; the upper end of the pull rod is provided with a thread, and the lower end is fixed with a slider that cooperates with the guide rail.
[0008] Preferably, the vertical beams, longitudinal beams, and transverse beams are all rectangular tubes.
[0009] Preferably, a rubber pad is provided between the pressure plate and the battery.
[0010] Preferably, a base is fixedly provided on the outside of the frame.
[0011] Preferably, the rectangular frame at the top of the frame is provided with a vertically threaded hole, and the cover plate is fixedly connected to the frame by bolts.
[0012] Beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This device prevents maintenance personnel from stepping directly on the battery by adding a cover plate, and the cover plate is spaced apart from the battery, so even if the cover plate is deformed by force, it can protect the battery from being squeezed.
[0014] 2. The position of the lever is adjustable to accommodate batteries of different sizes. The overall structure is simple and saves space. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a battery rack includes a frame 1 for mounting batteries 3. A cover plate 7 is detachably connected to the top of the frame 1, and a base plate 14 is fixedly provided at the bottom. The batteries 3 are placed on the base plate 14, and the cover plate 7 and the batteries 3 are spaced apart. When workers step directly on the cover plate 7, the risk of the batteries 3 being stepped on and squeezed is effectively avoided because the cover plate 7 and the batteries 3 are not in direct contact. A pressure plate 6 is provided above the batteries 3, and a pull rod 4 is vertically inserted through both ends of the pressure plate 6. A wing nut 22 is threaded to the upper end of the pull rod 4, and the lower end of the pull rod 4 is horizontally slidably connected to the frame 1.
[0024] The frame 1 includes vertical beams 11, longitudinal beams 12, and horizontal beams 13. The longitudinal beams 12 and horizontal beams 13 are fixedly connected end to end to form a rectangular frame. There are two rectangular frames, spaced apart vertically. The vertical beams 11 are vertically fixedly connected to the two rectangular frames. The base plate 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower rectangular frame. The base plate 14 supports the batteries 3, and the frame 1 ensures that the batteries 3 do not directly contact the outside environment. In the narrow passage of the modular power station, the batteries 3 are arranged in a row, and multiple longitudinal beams 12 can be adaptively spaced to enhance the stability of the frame 1.
[0025] The bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a horizontal guide rail 5 fixed to the outside of the crossbeam 13; the upper end of the pull rod 4 is threaded, and the lower end is fixed with a slider 23 that cooperates with the guide rail 5. The guide rail 5 and the slider 23 cooperate to restrict the pull rod 4 to move only in the horizontal direction, which can adapt to different battery sizes and positions and is flexible in application; for small batteries 3, the pressure plate 6 and the pull rod 4 are placed in the middle of the battery 3, and for large batteries 3, the pressure plate 6 and the pull rod 4 are placed at both ends of the battery 3. The guide rail 5 can connect multiple pull rods 4 at the same time, which is universal for batteries of different sizes. The pull rod 4 cannot move upward due to the restriction of the guide rail 5. When the wing nut 22 is screwed downward, the two ends of the pressure plate 6 are gradually subjected to downward pressure, so that the battery 3 is pressed tightly onto the frame 1 by the pressure plate 6, ensuring that the battery 3 remains stable when the power station is vibrating or the frame 1 is stepped on and shaken.
[0026] Vertical beam 11, longitudinal beam 12, and horizontal beam 13 are all rectangular tubes. Frame 1 plays a major load-bearing role, and rectangular tubes are used as structural components of frame 1 to increase the structural rigidity of frame 1.
[0027] A rubber pad 21 is provided between the pressure plate 6 and the battery 3. The rubber pad 21 serves to absorb shock and prevent wear on the battery 3. For easy installation, the rubber pad 21 can be glued to the pressure plate 6.
[0028] A base plate 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the frame 1; the rectangular frame at the top of the frame 1 has vertically threaded holes, and the cover plate 7 is fixedly connected to the frame 1 by bolts. The base plate 2 is used for fixed connection between the frame 1 and the outside. The installation position of the base plate 2 is different depending on the connection position. When the frame 1 is connected to the bottom plate of the cabin, the base plate 2 is installed on the longitudinal beam 12. When the frame 1 is connected to the side wall of the cabin, the base plate 2 is installed on the vertical beam 11.
[0029] Working principle: When in use, open the cover plate 7, place the battery 3 on the bottom plate 14 in the frame 1, slide the pull rod 4 into the guide rails 5 on both sides, place the rubber pad 21 under the pressure plate 6 and place it on the battery 3, the pull rod 4 on both sides passes through the two ends of the pressure plate 6 and tighten the wing nuts 22, the torque of the two wing nuts 22 is the same, at this time the battery 3 is pressed tight; after installing the cover plate 7, connect the foot bracket 2 to the position where it needs to be installed.
[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
