Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector technology, and in particular to a reducing connector for energy storage liquid cooling pipes. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of renewable energy and the increasing global emphasis on carbon emission limits, the importance of energy storage technology, especially large-scale energy storage systems (such as industrial and commercial systems and large-scale pipeline systems), is becoming increasingly prominent. In these systems, thermal management is a key factor in ensuring efficient battery operation and extending battery life. Currently, many energy storage systems employ a three-stage pipeline design to circulate coolant and maintain cell temperatures within an ideal range. However, this design typically supports only one type of inner diameter pipeline, leading to technical challenges when raising thermal management standards.

[0003] Specifically, in pursuit of stricter thermal management requirements, the goal is to minimize the temperature difference between battery cells to ensure the performance consistency and safety of the entire battery pack. However, a single-diameter piping design struggles to meet the coolant flow requirements of battery packs at different locations, especially in vertically arranged battery modules. Due to the pressure drop in the water system, the inflow rate to each battery pack layer fluctuates significantly, typically with the largest flow deviation between the highest and lowest vertical battery pack layers. This uneven cooling effect not only affects the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack but can also lead to localized overheating, thus threatening the stability and safety of the system. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, in order to solve the problem in the prior art that the large flow deviation between different battery packs leads to different cooling effects, this utility model provides a variable diameter connector for energy storage liquid cooling pipes.

One end of the inlet connector is connected to a diode-connected three-way valve, and the other end of the inlet connector is connected to one end of the rotary chuck. The rotary chuck is located inside the rotary joint, and the other end of the rotary chuck is connected to the outlet connector. The rotary joint includes a water-passing plate, an inner port, and a rotary handle. The water-passing plate is located at one end of the rotary handle, and the inner port is provided on the surface of the water-passing plate.

[0007] The surface of the water passage plate is also provided with inner holes and outer holes. The outer holes are distributed around the inner holes. There are multiple outer holes, and the outer holes are distributed in a rotating manner around the axis of the water passage plate. The central angle between two adjacent outer holes that are close to each other is 30°, and the central angle between two adjacent outer holes that are far apart is 60°.

[0008] The thickness of the inner opening is the same as the thickness of the rotary chuck, and the depth of the inner opening is 2 / 3 of the height of the rotary joint. The inner opening is provided with a raised triangular prism-shaped protrusion.

The first gear, the second gear, and the third gear are distributed in a clockwise direction. Every three adjacent first gears, second gears, and third gears form a group, for a total of four groups. The centers of the grooves, the outer hole, and the inner hole of the rotary handle are located in a straight line.

[0010] A triangular prism-shaped groove is provided in the center of the outer periphery of the rotary chuck. The length of the triangular prism-shaped groove is 1 / 3 of the height of the rotary chuck. The two ends of the triangular prism-shaped groove are equidistant from the rotary chuck.
