Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage equipment technology, specifically a spray-type liquid-cooled energy storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing liquid-cooled energy storage devices still face numerous challenges in practical applications. On one hand, the cooling systems of traditional energy storage devices exhibit poor adaptability to complex and variable external environments. For instance, in high-temperature environments, the coolant's own temperature rises, reducing its heat dissipation capacity and making it difficult to effectively remove the heat generated by the energy storage components. In low-temperature environments, the coolant is prone to solidification, causing the cooling system to malfunction. On the other hand, in conventional spray-type liquid cooling structures, the uniformity of coolant spraying is difficult to guarantee, resulting in insufficient cooling of some areas of the energy storage components, creating heat dissipation blind spots. Furthermore, the coolant's flow path within the energy storage device is singular, hindering sufficient heat exchange with the energy storage components, leading to low overall heat dissipation efficiency. Therefore, the market urgently needs to develop a spray-type liquid-cooled energy storage device to help solve these existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spray-type liquid-cooled energy storage device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the uniformity of coolant spray is difficult to guarantee, and that some areas of the energy storage element cannot be sufficiently cooled, resulting in heat dissipation blind spots.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a spray-type liquid-cooled energy storage device, comprising an energy storage device housing, characterized in that: a bracket is fixedly installed inside the energy storage device housing, an energy storage element is fixedly installed on the bracket, a spray pipe is provided on the energy storage element, the spray pipe is provided with uniformly distributed spray holes, a diverter pipe is connected to the upper end of the spray pipe, a feed pipe is connected above one end of the diverter pipe, a driven gear is fixedly connected to one end of the feed pipe, a transmission box is fixedly installed inside the energy storage device housing, a transmission shaft is rotatably connected inside the transmission box, a drive gear is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission shaft, the drive gear meshes with the driven gear, and a drive device for driving the transmission shaft to rotate is provided on the outside of the energy storage device housing.

[0005] The above technical solution involves attaching a spray pipe to the outside of the energy storage element and using a drive device to rotate the spray pipe outside the energy storage element. When the spray pipe sprays coolant onto the surface of the energy storage element, the circumferential spraying can evenly dissipate heat from the energy storage element, thereby avoiding the existence of heat dissipation blind spots, fully cooling the energy storage element, and improving the cooling effect.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: the lower part of the energy storage housing is provided with an arc-shaped structure, the bottom of the arc-shaped structure is provided with a detachable filter box, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower part of the filter box.

[0007] The above technical solution uses a detachable filter box to filter impurities in the used coolant.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that: a delivery pipe is provided on the upper side of the energy storage housing, one end of the delivery pipe is connected to a transfer station, the delivery pipe is rotatably connected to the transfer station, and an opening communicating with the transfer station is provided on the upper part of the delivery pipe.

[0009] The above technical solution utilizes a transfer station design to provide coolant to the spray pipes while ensuring the continuous rotation of the delivery pipes.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that a support foot is fixedly installed on the lower part of the energy storage device housing.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can be further configured such that a cover is fixedly installed on the top of the energy storage device housing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention attaches a spray pipe to the outside of the energy storage element and uses a drive device to rotate the spray pipe outside the energy storage element. When the spray pipe sprays coolant onto the surface of the energy storage element, the surrounding spray can dissipate heat evenly to the energy storage element, thereby avoiding the existence of heat dissipation blind spots, and fully cooling the energy storage element to improve the cooling effect.
