Scalable energy storage container and fast docking interface

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of energy storage container technology, specifically to an expandable energy storage container and a quick-connect interface. The expandable energy storage container includes a base frame, which comprises a rectangular frame. Two longitudinal beams are welded and fixed inside the rectangular frame, and multiple crossbeams are installed between the two longitudinal beams. Axles are inserted between the rectangular frame and the multiple crossbeams. A carrier plate for installing energy storage supporting facilities is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame. In this utility model, by pre-laying multiple crossbeams under the position on the top of the base frame that will bear a heavier energy storage facility, the dense installation of crossbeams under the heavier load-bearing position allows multiple crossbeams to distribute the weight of the equipment. The number of crossbeams installed under the lighter load-bearing position can be reduced, thereby adjusting the position of the crossbeams to efficiently utilize their load-bearing capacity and improving the stability of the base frame supporting the energy storage setup.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage container technology, specifically to an expandable energy storage container and a quick docking interface. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage containers use containers as carriers to integrate core equipment such as battery packs, battery management systems, energy conversion systems, thermal management systems, and fire-fighting devices, enabling the storage and flexible dispatch of electrical energy. Energy storage containers mainly consist of a frame and a container body. The frame is equipped with supporting facilities such as battery packs, liquid cooling units, electrical cabinets, and fire cabinets. The container body is installed and fixed on the outside of the base to isolate and protect the supporting energy storage facilities.

[0003] The underframe is typically a frame structure welded together from a rectangular frame and multiple crossbeams. Since the battery pack exerts greater pressure on the underframe compared to secondary supporting facilities such as electrical cabinets and fire cabinets, different areas on the underframe surface will experience different stresses. However, it is not easy to adjust the load-bearing position of most crossbeams on the underframe according to the stress situation after the energy storage facility is installed. This results in a limited number of crossbeams under the heavier positions, affecting the stability of the container's load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, when the demand for energy storage is large, it is not easy to expand and connect multiple traditional energy storage containers to efficiently utilize space and achieve unified management. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scalable energy storage container with a quick docking interface to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] Scalable energy storage containers with quick-connect interfaces, including:

[0007] The base frame includes a rectangular frame, inside which two longitudinal beams are fixed, and between the two longitudinal beams are multiple horizontal beams that can be adjusted in position. As needed, multiple horizontal beams can be densely installed in the area of ​​the rectangular frame with a large load-bearing capacity.

[0008] A shaft, arranged between a rectangular frame and multiple crossbeams, can fix multiple crossbeams inside the rectangular frame;

[0009] A carrier plate is fixedly connected to the base frame, and the surface of the carrier plate is used to install energy storage supporting facilities.

[0010] The enclosure, located on top of the base frame, can protect the energy storage facilities inside the enclosure. The enclosure and the carrier plate can be detached and fixed.

[0011] The quick docking interface includes a docking plate, which is fitted between two containers. The docking plate allows the two energy storage containers to be expanded and combined to efficiently utilize and uniformly manage the energy storage space.

[0012] Furthermore, the top surface of the carrier plate is fixed with multiple studs, and a right-angle pad is installed and fixed between the housing and the studs.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the docking plate is fixed with positioning blocks that are inserted into the two boxes to be assembled, and a T-shaped insert plate is installed and inserted between the two positioning blocks.

[0014] Furthermore, the rectangular frame includes two side frames one and two side frames two, with the two ends of the side frame one fixed to the side frame two, and the two ends of the crossbeam snapped onto the top of the side frame one.

[0015] Furthermore, both ends of the second frame are provided with arc-shaped holes, and an arc-shaped rod is slidably inserted between the two arc-shaped holes of the extended assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, the longitudinal beam and the top of the frame are provided with multiple slots, which are movably engaged with the crossbeam, and the bottom of the crossbeam is fixed with a protrusion.

[0017] Furthermore, the shaft passes through multiple protrusions and is screwed into the frame, and one end of the shaft is fixed with a rotary joint.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. By opening multiple slots on the rectangular frame and longitudinal beams of the base frame, each slot can accommodate a crossbeam. Depending on the location of heavier facilities such as the battery pack to be installed on the top of the carrier plate, multiple crossbeams can be densely laid inside the rectangular frame corresponding to that location in advance, while a small number of crossbeams can be laid in the lighter locations on the top of the carrier plate corresponding to the rectangular frame. This allows the crossbeams to be flexibly adjusted in advance according to the stress conditions after the energy storage facility is installed, which helps to improve the stability of the base frame supporting the energy storage facility.

[0020] 2. By docking two energy storage containers and inserting an arc-shaped rod between the arc-shaped holes of the two base frames, the two base frames can be quickly connected and fixed using the arc-shaped rod. The docking plate is then fitted onto the docking position of the two containers. The two positioning blocks at the bottom of the docking plate are inserted into the interiors of different containers. Then, a T-shaped insert plate is inserted and fixed between the two positioning blocks. This allows for the quick connection and fixation of the two containers using the docking plate, enabling the expansion and combination of two energy storage containers. The energy storage facilities inside the two combined containers can share a single liquid-cooled chiller and other supporting facilities, achieving unified management.

[0021] 3. By opening arc-shaped holes at both ends of the second frame of the base frame, after the energy storage facility has been installed on the base frame's carrier plate, external steel wire ropes can be passed through the arc-shaped holes at the four corners of the base frame. This makes it easy to fix the steel wire ropes to the base frame and then suspend the base frame and energy storage facility as a whole to the installation position. Compared with the traditional method of suspending from the middle of the base frame by additional fixing of the lifting rod, this not only saves the space occupied by the lifting rod but also improves the stability of the energy storage facility hoisting.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] 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.

[0029] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5In this embodiment of the utility model, the expandable energy storage container and quick docking interface include an expandable energy storage container comprising a base frame 100, the base frame 100 comprising a rectangular frame 110, two longitudinal beams 120 welded and fixed inside the rectangular frame 110, a plurality of cross beams 130 installed between the two longitudinal beams 120, and a shaft 200 inserted between the rectangular frame 110 and the plurality of cross beams 130. A carrier plate 300 for installing energy storage supporting facilities is fixedly connected to the top of the base frame 100, and a box body 400 is provided on the top of the base frame 100. The box body 400 and the carrier plate 300 are detachably installed and fixed. A docking plate 500 is installed and fixed between two assembled box bodies 400. The two energy storage containers are expanded and combined through the docking plate 500 to efficiently utilize energy storage space and uniformly manage energy storage space.

[0030] Specifically, by providing multiple slots 121 on the top of the traditional rectangular frame 110 and longitudinal beams 120, the crossbeams 130 can be movably installed into different slots 121 as needed. Multiple crossbeams 130 can be pre-laid below the location on the top of the base frame 100 that bears a heavier energy storage facility. By densely installing the crossbeams 130 below the heavier load-bearing location, the weight of the equipment can be shared by multiple crossbeams 130. The number of crossbeams 130 installed below the lighter load-bearing location can be reduced, thereby adjusting the position of the crossbeams 130 to efficiently utilize their load-bearing capacity. This is beneficial to improving the stability of the energy storage setup on the base frame 100. When there is a large demand for energy storage, multiple energy storage containers can be quickly assembled by connecting plates 500 and arc rods 140, achieving efficient space utilization and unified management of multiple energy storage containers.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple studs 310 are welded and fixed to the top surface of the carrier plate 300, and multiple right-angle pads 410 are welded and fixed to the inner side of the box 400. When the box 400 is hoisted to the top surface of the first frame 111 and the second frame 112, the holes on the right-angle pads 410 can be inserted into the studs 310, and then nuts are screwed onto the top of the studs 310 to realize the installation and fixing of the carrier plate 300 and the box 400 together by the right-angle pads 410.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the carrier plate 300 is supported and fixed on the top of the rectangular frame 110, the crossbeam 130 and the longitudinal beam 120. The bottom of the rectangular frame 110, the crossbeam 130 and the longitudinal beam 120 are welded and fixed to the bottom. The bottom plate 150 is arranged on the support column at the external installation position to seal the base frame 100 and also to support the base frame 100. The holes for inserting cables on the bottom plate 150 are existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the docking plate 500 is fixedly connected to a positioning block 510 that is inserted into the two boxes 400 to be assembled. The positioning block 510 has a rectangular hole inside, and a T-shaped insert plate 511 is inserted and fixed between the rectangular holes of the two positioning blocks 510, so that after the docking plate 500 is fitted onto the outside of the two boxes 400, the two boxes 400 can be connected and fixed together.

[0034] In this embodiment, the docking plate 500 is U-shaped, which can seal the periphery of the box 400 in all directions. The specific sealing measures can be accomplished by embedding a fixing sealing gasket inside the docking plate 500. A T-shaped insert 512 is fixed between the bottom surface of the docking plate 500 and the positioning block 510. The T-shaped insert 512 is used to penetrate and insert into the inside of the box 400. If the box 400 has different expansion combinations, a sealing plug can be used to block the hole reserved on the box 400 for inserting the T-shaped insert 512.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the figure shows an expanded combination of two energy storage containers. Alternatively, the baffles 420 at both ends of the container 400 can be removed to allow multiple energy storage containers to be assembled.

[0036] In this embodiment, baffles 420 are detachably fixed at both ends of the container 400. Door panel 421 is hingedly installed on the baffles 420. Door panel 430 can be hingedly installed on the outside of the container 400 as needed. Door panel 421 and door panel 430 can open the energy storage container, which is convenient for operators to debug and manage the energy storage facilities.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the rectangular frame 110 includes two side frames 111 and two side frames 112. The two ends of the side frames 111 are fixedly connected to the corresponding side frames 112. The two ends of the crossbeams 130 are snapped onto the top of the side frames 111, so that multiple crossbeams 130 can be arranged inside the rectangular frame 110.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, both ends of the second frame 112 are provided with arc-shaped holes 1121. An arc-shaped rod 140 is slidably inserted between the two arc-shaped holes 1121 of the extended combination. Both the arc-shaped rod 140 and the arc-shaped holes 1121 are semi-circular. After the arc-shaped rod 140 is inserted into the arc-shaped hole 1121, the arc-shaped rod 140 can connect and fix the two second frames 112 together. At this time, the arc-shaped hole 1121 plays the role of docking and fixing. After the docking plate 500 is installed, the bottom of both ends of the docking plate 500 can abut against the end face of the arc-shaped rod 140, so that the docking plate 500 can connect and fix the box 400 while limiting and fixing the arc-shaped rod 140.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the longitudinal beam 120 and the first frame 111 are provided with multiple slots 121. The slots 121 are movably engaged with the crossbeam 130. The bottom of the crossbeam 130 is fixedly connected with a protrusion. The shaft 200 passes through multiple protrusions and is screwed into the second frame 112. One end of the shaft 200 is fixed with a rotating joint 210.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the multiple crossbeams 130 on the base frame 100 are arranged, the shaft 200 can be inserted between the two side frames 112. By using an external power tool to rotate the rotating joint 210 at one end of the shaft 200, the shaft 200 can securely install and fix the multiple crossbeams 130 inside the base frame 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, a hexagonal slot is provided on the outer side of the rotary joint 210. The hexagonal slot can be inserted into the hexagonal drill bit of an external power tool, so that the drill bit can rotate with the rotary joint 210.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity.
