[0002] Most existing large-capacity energy storage battery products are directly welded or screwed into the box with the battery tabs facing upwards. This is not well adapted to usage environments with limited floor space and also makes poor use of vertical space. Similar products that expand vertical space mostly use horizontal module designs and adopt a horizontal stacking mode. In order to take into account insulation performance, the utilization rate of vertical space is not good.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical pain points, relevant products were developed to meet the needs. Through technical principle analysis, the structural layout has been improved by adopting a side-mounted battery cell arrangement, dividing the cells into left and right modules, horizontally welding them, and using a hoisting production method to enable assembly line operations.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a modular battery that can be mounted on a hoist. Utility Model Content

A protection plate assembly is located between the top of the battery modules. Module slide rails are located on both the left and right sides of the battery modules. Lifting lugs are located on both the left and right sides of the top of the battery modules. Three sets of conductive aluminum connectors are located on the outer side of each of the two battery modules, evenly spaced. Three battery cells are located on the outer side of each of the two battery modules, inside the three sets of conductive aluminum connectors. A main housing assembly slides between the outer sides of the two battery modules, and a cover assembly is located on top of the main housing assembly.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes module retaining strips, with two module retaining strips provided on each side of the battery module away from each other.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a box guide strip and a box fixing plate. The main box assembly is provided with box fixing plates on both the left and right sides inside. The main box assembly is provided with box guide strips symmetrically arranged on both the left and right side walls inside.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two module pressure strips are respectively located between three adjacent sets of module conductive aluminum connections.

[0012] The beneficial effects and significant advancements of this utility model are as follows:

Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

[0021] Example: A method for hoisting modular batteries; please see below. Figures 1 to 5As shown, the system includes a battery module 1, a cover assembly 2, a module longitudinal fixing sheet metal part 3, a protection plate assembly 4, a module slide rail 5, a module lifting lug 6, a module conductive aluminum connector 7, a module pressure strip 8, a battery cell 9, a main housing assembly 10, a housing guide strip 11, a housing fixing plate 12, a housing handle 13, and a display screen 14. The battery module 1 is the main part for storing electrical energy. There are two battery modules 1, placed back to back. They are connected by the module longitudinal fixing sheet metal part 3 on the top left side and the top right side of the two battery modules 1. The module longitudinal fixing sheet metal part 3 is used to connect the two back-to-back battery modules 1, restrict their longitudinal displacement, and ensure that the module is within the housing. To ensure stability, a protective plate assembly 4 is horizontally connected between the tops of the two battery modules 1. The protective plate assembly 4 reinforces the battery modules 1 and enhances the overall structural stability. Module slide rails 5 are vertically connected to the left and right sides of each of the two battery modules 1. Module lifting lugs 6 are connected to the top left and right sides of each of the two battery modules 1. These four lifting lugs 6 are located on the outer sides of the four corners of the protective plate assembly 4, providing lifting points for the battery modules 1 and facilitating lifting operations. Three sets of conductive aluminum connectors 7 are connected to the outer sides of the tops of the two battery modules 1, away from each other. These conductive aluminum connectors 7 are used to achieve electrical connections between the battery modules 1, ensuring power transmission. The three sets of conductive aluminum connectors 7 are evenly spaced on the outer sides of the battery modules 1. Two module clamping strips 8 are connected to the opposite sides of each battery module 1. These two clamping strips 8 are located between three adjacent sets of conductive aluminum module connections 7. The clamping strips 8 serve to fix and protect the conductive aluminum module connections 7, preventing loosening or damage. Three sets of battery cells 9 are connected to the opposite sides of each battery module 1. These three sets of cells 9 are located inside the three sets of conductive aluminum module connections 7. The cells 9 are responsible for storing and releasing electrical energy and are the core components of the battery module 1. A main housing assembly 10 is slidably connected between the outer sides of the two battery modules 1. The main housing assembly 10 serves as the load-bearing structure for the entire modular battery assembly, providing installation space for the battery modules 1 and protecting them from external impacts and damage. The cover assembly 2... Covering the top of the main housing assembly 10, it protects the battery module 1 from external environmental influences. The left and right side walls of the main housing assembly 10 are vertically connected to housing fixing plates 12. The left and right side walls of the main housing assembly 10 are also vertically connected with housing guide strips 11 in a symmetrical arrangement. Each pair of housing guide strips 11 is located on the front and rear sides of adjacent housing fixing plates 12. The housing guide strips 11, housing fixing plates 12, and module slide rails 5 slide in cooperation with each other. The module slide rails 5 act as guides and limiters during hoisting into the housing, ensuring that the battery module 1 can smoothly enter the main housing assembly 10 and be fixed inside. Housing handles 13 are connected to both the left and right sides of the main housing assembly 10, facilitating manual handling of the main housing assembly 10 and its internal battery module 1.A display screen 14 is installed on the top of the cover assembly 2. The display screen 14 is used to display the status information of the battery module 1, such as battery level, temperature, and fault alarms, so that users can understand the working status of the battery module 1 in real time.

[0022] When using modular batteries for hoisting, the following operating steps should be followed to ensure correct installation and stable operation, providing reliable power support to users. First, select a dry, well-ventilated location free from corrosive gases and flammable or explosive materials for installation to ensure that the installation environment meets the battery's usage requirements and to avoid damage to the battery or potential safety hazards caused by environmental factors during subsequent use.

[0023] The cells 9 are placed in the designated positions according to the design sequence, either manually or using automated equipment. Since two battery modules 1 are used and have good interchangeability, the chiral difference can be ignored during the production process, which is conducive to improving the scale of production, reducing the use of different parts, and improving production efficiency.

[0024] After the battery cells 9 are placed, the battery module 1 is welded and assembled to ensure that the internal electrical connections of the module are stable and that all components are installed in place. The module slide rail 5 can be used as a handling handle during the production and welding stage of the battery module 1 to facilitate manual or machine handling of the battery module 1. The handle has screw holes at both ends, and screws can be used to reinforce it after handling to enhance the stability of the module slide rail 5.

[0025] The module slide rail 5 acts as a guide and limiter during the hoisting and placement process, ensuring that the battery module 1 can smoothly and accurately enter the main housing assembly 10.

[0026] Connect the hook of the hoisting equipment to the module lifting lug 6 on the top of the battery module 1 to ensure a firm and reliable connection and prevent it from falling off during the hoisting process.

[0027] Slowly start the hoisting equipment, lift the battery module 1 smoothly, move it above the main housing assembly 10, and slowly lower it to the predetermined installation position.

[0028] During the lowering process, closely observe the cooperation between the module slide rail 5, the box guide bar 11, and the box fixing plate 12 to ensure that the battery module 1 slides smoothly into the main box assembly 10 and accurately reaches the designated installation position.

[0029] After both battery modules 1 are hoisted into the box and placed in place, the top left and right sides of the two back-to-back battery modules 1 are connected by the longitudinal fixing sheet metal parts 3 to restrict their longitudinal displacement and ensure the stability of the modules in the box.

[0030] Connect the three sets of conductive aluminum connectors 7 on the top of the battery module 1, which are far apart from each other, according to the electrical design requirements to ensure that the electrical connection between the battery modules 1 is normal and that stable power transmission can be achieved.

[0031] The protection plate assembly 4 is horizontally connected between the tops of the two battery modules 1. The protection plate assembly 4 is screwed to the hoisting position of the two battery modules 1. While fixing itself, it also reinforces the battery modules 1 and enhances the stability of the overall structure.

[0032] On the side where the two battery modules 1 are far apart from each other, the module pressure strips 8 are respectively installed between the three sets of adjacent module conductive aluminum connections 7. This serves to fix and protect the module conductive aluminum connections 7, preventing them from loosening or being damaged during subsequent use.

[0033] The main housing assembly 10 can be moved to a suitable position using the housing handles 13 on the left and right sides of the main housing assembly 10. The housing handles 13 are hidden inside the product, which is reasonable and convenient for manual operation.

[0034] Cover the top of the main body assembly 10 with the cover assembly 2, ensuring that the cover assembly 2 fits tightly with the main body assembly 10. Use appropriate fasteners to fix the cover assembly 2 and the main body assembly 10 to protect the battery module 1 from the influence of the external environment.

[0035] After the battery is installed, the display screen 14 installed on the top of the cover assembly 2 will display the status information of the battery module 1 in real time, such as power, temperature, fault alarm, etc. Users can observe the information on the display screen 14 to understand the working status of the battery module 1 in real time.

[0036] By following the above usage methods and operating instructions, it can be ensured that the modular battery can be installed correctly and operated stably, providing users with reliable power support.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
