Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an energy storage connector, and more particularly to a modular and easy-to-assemble energy storage connector. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage connectors are used in batteries and energy storage devices to transmit electrical energy and data signals. They feature high current carrying capacity, low resistance design, long lifespan, reliability, and safety protection, and are widely used in solar energy, wind power generation, electric vehicles, and industrial energy storage devices to achieve efficient storage and utilization of electrical energy. During power grid construction, energy storage sites are set up at certain intervals, and energy storage connectors connect the circuits between energy storage units to transmit the electrical energy stored in the units for use and output.

[0003] Currently, during grid maintenance, it is necessary to disconnect power to the faulty site, disassemble the energy storage device, separate the energy storage connector and storage box, locate the fault, and replace the faulty components and connectors. This requires a large amount of manual labor to inspect the faulty connectors individually, which is difficult, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Replacement is also inconvenient and difficult to reassemble, hindering the electrification of surrounding areas. Therefore, it is necessary to design an energy storage connector with modular components that facilitates maintenance and assembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular and easy-to-assemble energy storage connector, which realizes that the energy storage connector can be modularly disassembled and assembled, which is convenient for maintenance and easy to assemble with the connected equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A modular and easily assembled energy storage connector includes a connecting body with multiple mating connectors and connector seats. A disconnect plate is slidably provided at the lower end of the connecting body. A magnetic suction plate is provided on the opposite side of the disconnect plate and the connecting body. A spacer assembly is provided on one side of the connecting body. The spacer assembly includes a rotatably connected induction plate and an adsorption plate, and the adsorption plate is connected to the connecting body for rapid repair of damaged energy storage connectors.

[0007] Preferably, a locking ring is sleeved between the connector and the connecting body, and a top plate is provided on the outer side of the connector, and the top plate and the locking ring are locked together on the connecting body for modular assembly of the connector and the connecting body.

[0008] Preferably, the locking ring includes a truncated ring, with locking blocks on both sides of the truncated ring that penetrate the connecting body, a truncated groove in the middle of the truncated ring, and a threaded groove on the inner side of the truncated groove.

[0009] Preferably, the disconnect plate has a slot for the connecting seat to pass through, the upper side of the connecting seat is provided with a plurality of elastic pieces, and the middle part of the connecting seat is fitted with a lower plate that passes through the slot, for modular assembly of the connecting seat and the disconnect plate.

[0010] Preferably, a temperature sensor is provided on the connecting body, an electromagnetic frame is provided on the connecting body opposite to the magnetic suction plate, and a sliding rod is fixed on the top of the disconnecting plate, with the sliding rod slidingly connected to the connecting body.

[0011] Preferably, the adsorption plate is made of magnetic metal material, the induction plate is provided with an electromagnetic plate, the electromagnetic plate is provided with a temperature detection unit, and the temperature detection unit is provided with a temperature sensor for the separation and maintenance of the faulty energy storage connector.

[0012] Preferably, the induction plate is provided with a slide rail, which has a semi-circular structure and contains multiple rollers. A movable shaft connected to the magnetic plate is provided between the multiple rollers.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the energy storage connector provided by this utility model can be modularly connected to external devices, and can be powered off when the connector is damaged, enabling rapid maintenance and reducing troubleshooting workload. Specifically, the disconnect plate slidably installed at the lower end of the connector body allows the connector head and connector seat to be placed on two separate structures. Through the electromagnetic attraction of the magnetic plate and electromagnetic frame, the disconnect plate easily connects the connector head and connector seat for power supply; it also provides power-off protection for short-circuited connector structures, separating the connector head and connector seat to prevent damage to other structures caused by a short-circuited connector.

[0014] The use of a temperature detection unit on the spacer assembly facilitates separation from the installed equipment when the side temperature of the energy storage connector is high, reducing heat transfer and providing protection for the energy storage connector on the connection body, thus facilitating connector maintenance.

[0015] Furthermore, by using a locking ring between the connecting body and the connector, the soft fit structure between the connecting body and the connector can be further improved, increasing the friction between the connector and the connecting body, facilitating the modular assembly of the connector and the connecting body. Then, through the snap-fit ​​between the upper and lower plates of the connector seat and the disconnect plate, the elastic sheet can fit between the connector seat and the disconnect plate, increasing the stability of the modular use of the energy storage connector and providing convenience for the modular use of the connector head and connector seat.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note: The described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0027] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the modular and easily assembled energy storage connector is used in a modular manner. Multiple connector heads 11 are pre-fixed onto the connecting body 1, and then the connecting seat 12 is connected to external electrical equipment. The modular use of the connector is achieved through the plugging and unplugging of the connector heads 11 and connecting seat 12. Finally, bolts are used to install the connecting body 1 onto the energy storage box, completing the installation of the energy storage connector. To facilitate rapid maintenance of the energy storage connector, a disconnect plate 3 can be slidably installed at the lower end of the connecting body 1. A magnetic suction plate 31 is then installed on the opposite side of the disconnect plate 3 and the connecting body 1, increasing the electromagnetic connection structure between the connecting body 1 and the disconnect plate 3. Utilizing the magnetic properties of existing electromagnets when energized, the connecting body 1 can be energized and connected to the disconnect plate 3, enabling the docking of the connecting seat 12 and the connector head 11. Alternatively, the power can be turned off to separate the connecting body 1 from the disconnect plate 3 for protective treatment of the connector head 11 or the connecting seat 12. Next, an interval component 4 can be set on one side of the connecting body 1 to facilitate the separation of the energy storage connector from the connected energy storage box, prevent energy transfer between the energy storage connector and other structures in the energy storage box, increase the safety of the energy storage connector, and also facilitate the separation of the damaged connector from the energy storage box, ensuring the safe use of other equipment in the energy storage box. The interval component 4 includes a rotatingly connected induction plate 45 and an adsorption plate 44. One side of the adsorption plate 44 is connected to the connecting body 1, and one side of the induction plate 45 is installed on the energy storage box. By using the sensor structure on the induction plate 45, the temperature of the connected energy storage box can be detected, and the distribution state of the induction plate 45 and the energy storage box can be controlled, which facilitates the rapid repair of the damaged energy storage connector.

[0028] It is worth noting that, in order to facilitate the modular use of multiple connectors, such as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a locking ring 2 is fitted between the connector 11 and the connecting body 1, and a top plate 111 is provided on the outside of the connector 11. The top plate 111 and the locking ring 2 can be locked together on the connecting body 1 for modular assembly of the connector 11 and the connecting body 1. When the connector 11 is installed and used, the locking ring 2 can be fitted into the connecting body 1 first, and then the connector 11 can be locked into the middle of the locking ring 2. By pressing the locking ring 2 into the connector 11, the inner side of the locking ring 2 fits against the connector 11, and the outer side of the connector 11 fits against the connecting body 1. When the top plate 111 on the connector 11 fits against the locking ring 2, the top plate 111 will be flush with the upper surface of the connecting body 1, and assembled into a whole. This enhances the combination stability between modular connectors and secures them for subsequent power-off processing of the connector.

[0029] Furthermore, to ensure a stable connection between the connector plug and socket, the locking ring 2 can be a platform-shaped ring 21 made of rubber or silicone. By using a combination of soft and hard materials, it is easy to install the connector 11 onto the connecting body 1. The platform-shaped ring 21 has locking blocks 22 on both sides that penetrate the connecting body 1 for locking the locking ring 2 and the connecting body 1. A platform-shaped groove is opened in the middle of the platform-shaped ring 21, and a threaded groove 23 is opened on the inner side of the platform-shaped groove. A threaded groove that mates with the threaded groove 23 can be provided on the outer side of the connector 11. When the connector 11 is inserted into the platform-shaped groove, the connector 11 can be pressed down and then rotated to increase the connection friction between the connector 11 and the locking ring 2, and to limit the use angle of the connector 11 to avoid excessive twisting of the connecting cable.

[0030] Next, the connection between the connector 12 and the disconnect plate 3 can be strengthened, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 4 As shown, to facilitate stable use during connector maintenance and simplify repair work, in some embodiments, a slot for the connector 12 to pass through can be opened on the disconnect plate 3. Multiple elastic pieces 122 are then provided on the upper side of the connector 12. A lower plate 121, passing through the slot, is fitted over the middle of the connector 12. This lower plate 121 can be locked into the lower end of the disconnect plate 3 when the connector 12 is connected to the disconnect plate 3, facilitating modular assembly of the connector 12 and the disconnect plate 3. When the connector is used in a modular assembly, the connector 12 can be... One end of the elastic piece 122 passes through the slot. When pushed into the slot, the elastic piece 122 deforms under force and is squeezed between the connector 12 and the disconnect plate 3, tightly pressing the periphery of the connector 12. Then, the lower plate 121 can be used to achieve the fit between the connector 12 and the disconnect plate 3, resulting in a larger area of ​​friction connection and improving the connection stability between the connector 12 and the disconnect plate 3. When the connector is disassembled, the connector 12 can be pinched and pulled out of the slot. The above installation method can be repeated to replace the connector.

[0031] It is worth noting that, to ensure the safe use of modular connectors at high temperatures or in the event of spontaneous combustion, such as... Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, a temperature sensor 13 can be installed on the connecting body 1, using existing sensor temperature detection technology to set a temperature value at which the disconnect plate 3 separates from the connecting body 1. Then, an electromagnetic frame 32, opposite to the magnetic suction plate 31, is installed on the connecting body 1. The electromagnetic frame 32 is externally connected to a power source and utilizes the magnetic working principle of existing electromagnets; it is magnetic when energized and loses its magnetism when de-energized. A sliding rod 33 is fixed to the top of the disconnect plate 3, and the sliding rod 33 slides through the connecting body 1, achieving a sliding connection between the disconnect plate 3 and the sliding rod 33. When the energy storage connector is in use, the electromagnetic frame 32 is magnetic when energized, and it will attract and connect to the magnetic suction plate 31 on the disconnect plate 3. When the temperature sensor 13 detects that the temperature exceeds the set temperature value, the electromagnetic frame 32 is de-energized, the disconnect plate 3 separates from the connecting body 1, and the multiple connectors 11 are separated from the connector base 12, allowing other normal connectors to be de-energized, reducing connector damage and maintenance costs.

[0032] Furthermore, utilizing the aforementioned electromagnetic adsorption technology, the adsorption plate 44 in the spacer assembly 4 can be made of magnetic metal material. An electromagnetic plate 41 is installed on the induction plate 45 as a connection device with the adsorption plate 44. A power supply is then connected to the outside of the electromagnetic plate 41. A temperature detection unit 42 is installed on the electromagnetic plate 41, and a temperature sensor 13 is installed in the temperature detection unit 42. The temperature sensor 13 is set with the separation temperature value between the spacer assembly 4 and the connected energy storage box or other equipment, which is used for the separation and maintenance of the faulty energy storage connector. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 13 in the temperature detection unit 42 exceeds the separation temperature value, the electromagnetic plate 41 is de-energized, and the connecting body 1 will rotate outward to separate the connector from the energy storage box or other connected equipment, reducing heat transfer, achieving connector protection, facilitating connector maintenance, and increasing repair convenience.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, a slide rail 43 can also be set on the induction plate 45. The slide rail 43 is set in a semi-circular structure. Multiple rollers 431 are set in the slide rail 43. Then, a movable shaft 432 connected to the magnetic suction plate 31 is set between the multiple rollers 431. The movable shaft 432 can slide between the rollers 431, thereby stably driving the magnetic suction plate 31 to rotate at an angle, reducing the separation of the connector from the high-heat structure on the connection body 1, and facilitating the cooling and protection of the connector.

[0034] Of course, the above description is the preferred embodiment of this 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 this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
