[0033] In the description of this disclosure, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three or more, unless otherwise expressly and specifically limited.

[0034] from Figures 1 to 3 As can be seen, the power storage device of this utility model includes a prefabricated cabin 1, an energy storage device 21 installed inside the prefabricated cabin 1, a thermal management device 51 connected to the energy storage device 21 through an air duct 4, and an electrical device 61 connected to the energy storage device 21.

[0035] The energy storage device 21 includes multiple blade battery clusters 22 connected in parallel or series for storing and discharging electrical energy, i.e., providing power to external devices. The thermal management device 51 is used to maintain the operating temperature of the energy storage device 21, and the electrical device 61 is used to charge the energy storage device 21 and / or draw the electrical energy of the energy storage device 21 to the outside.

[0036] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the prefabricated cabin 1 includes a first side wall 11, a second side wall 12, and a third side wall 13 connected in sequence (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), the fourth sidewall 14 (as shown) Figure 3 As shown), and top wall 15 and bottom wall 16 (as shown) Figure 7 (As shown). The first sidewall 11 is arranged opposite to the third sidewall 13, the second sidewall 12 is arranged opposite to the fourth sidewall, and the second sidewall 12 and the fourth sidewall 14 have the same shape and structure. The top wall 15 is arranged opposite to the bottom wall 16.

[0037] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the embodiments, the prefabricated cabin 1 can be a container. Using a container as the prefabricated cabin 1 for the power storage device can increase the robustness and sealing of the prefabricated cabin 1, as well as facilitate the movement of the prefabricated cabin 1.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the space enclosed by the first sidewall 11, the second sidewall 12, the third sidewall 13, the fourth sidewall 14, the top wall 15, and the bottom wall 16 includes an energy storage compartment 2, a thermal management compartment 5, and an electrical compartment 6. Figure 3 In this embodiment, the thermal management compartment 5 is located near the first side wall 11 and is used to house the thermal management device 51; the energy storage compartment 2 is located adjacent to the thermal management compartment 5 and is used to house the energy storage device 21; the electrical compartment 6 is located adjacent to the energy storage compartment 2 and near the third side wall 13, and is used to house the electrical device 61.

[0039] Thermal management equipment 51 includes an air conditioner 52, and an air inlet grille 53 and an air outlet grille 54 (such as air inlet grille 53 and air outlet grille 54) disposed on the first side wall 11. Figure 1 (As shown). Specifically, the air conditioner 52 has an air inlet and a return air outlet (not shown in the figure). The air inlet is connected to the air inlet grille 53, that is, the air inlet introduces external air into its interior through the air inlet grille 53; the return air outlet is connected to the air outlet grille 54, that is, the return air outlet leads the high-temperature air that has been heat-exchanged inside the power storage device to the outside for heat dissipation.

[0040] In the embodiment shown in the figure, the air conditioner 52 is located at one end of the prefabricated cabin 1 near the first side wall 11. In other alternative embodiments, the air conditioner 52 can also be located on the side near the third side wall 14. The air conditioner 52 is used to inject cold or hot gas into the air duct 4.

[0041] from Figure 3 As can be seen from the embodiments, the energy storage device 21 includes multiple blade battery clusters 22 connected in parallel or series, and the multiple blade battery clusters 22 are evenly arranged in the energy storage compartment 2. Figure 3 In one embodiment, multiple blade battery clusters 22 are arranged in two rows, one row along the second sidewall 12 and the other row along the fourth sidewall 14.

[0042] Furthermore, both the second sidewall 12 and the fourth sidewall 14 are provided with multiple hatches 17 (such as...). Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the hatch 17 corresponds one-to-one with the blade battery cluster 22, that is, by opening the hatch 17, the corresponding blade battery cluster 22 can be installed, replaced, adjusted, and repaired.

[0043] Optionally, a hatch 17 may also be provided at the second side wall 12 of the thermal management compartment 5 to facilitate operation by staff from the outside.

[0044] Furthermore, a hatch 17 can also be provided at the third sidewall 13 (e.g. Figure 2 As shown), the hatch 17 here corresponds to the electrical compartment 6. The hatch 17 can be equipped with a corresponding lead wire panel, etc. The setting of the hatch 17 here can facilitate the staff to install, debug, and repair the electrical equipment 61 in the electrical compartment 6.

[0045] It should be noted that multiple blade battery clusters 22, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 The concentrated and dense arrangement of these cells utilizes blade battery clustering technology. Specifically, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the blade battery cluster 22 includes multiple battery modules 23 stacked sequentially.

[0046] Combination Figure 5 As can be seen, the battery module 23 includes a battery pack 28, terminal posts 25 and slave controller 26 located on the end face of the battery pack 28, circuit boards 27 located on both sides of the battery pack 28, and heat dissipation components 3 located on the bottom surface of the battery pack 28. Multiple battery modules 23 are arranged and stacked in sequence, and the terminal posts 25 of two adjacent battery modules 23 are electrically connected to each other through cables to integrate battery clusters 22.

[0047] The battery pack 28 is formed by stacking multiple blade batteries 24 in sequence. The circuit board 27 is connected to each blade battery 24 and to the slave controller 26. The circuit board 27 is used to send the monitored operating status of the blade batteries 24 to the slave controller 26 for processing.

[0048] Optionally, the blade battery 24 can be a sodium-ion blade battery. The operating temperature range of the blade sodium-ion battery is -20℃ to 60℃, which can adapt to more complex application environments. In addition, during the charging and discharging process, the heat generated inside the blade sodium-ion battery is uniform and slow, and it is not easy to have local overheating, which greatly reduces the risk of thermal runaway and improves the safety of the battery during use.

[0049] In other alternative embodiments, the blade battery 24 may also be of the type, but is not limited to, a lithium-ion blade battery.

[0050] To improve the heat dissipation of the battery module 23 within a limited space, combined with, for example Figure 6 As shown, the heat dissipation component 3 may include a heat dissipation plate 31 and a porous flow channel 33 disposed on the heat dissipation plate 31. The porous flow channel 33 increases the heat dissipation area of ​​the battery pack 28, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery module 23.

[0051] exist Figure 6In the embodiments, the cross-section of the porous channel 33 is triangular and / or trapezoidal. The geometry of the triangular or right-angled trapezoidal channel can increase the contact area between the gas flowing inside and the blade battery 24, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and generating more turbulence, reducing the influence of the laminar boundary layer, and enabling faster heat transfer.

[0052] Furthermore, to accelerate the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery module 23, multiple heat-conducting fins 32 can be provided on the porous flow channel 33. Each heat-conducting fin 32 corresponds to one of the blade batteries 24 in the battery pack 28, and is used to transfer the heat of each blade battery 24 to the porous flow channel 33. Optionally, the heat-conducting fins 32 are made of a high thermal conductivity material, which may include, but is not limited to, aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper, etc.

[0053] Optionally, in Figure 6 In this embodiment, the heat-conducting fins 32 are frame structures that connect the blade battery 24 and the porous flow channel 33, which can maximize the heat dissipation area and improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0054] It should be noted that the air inlet and outlet sides (not shown in the figure) of the heat dissipation component 3 are located on both sides, that is, on both sides of the battery module 23. When multiple battery modules 23 are integrated into blade battery clusters 22, the two sides are the air inlet and outlet sides of the blade battery clusters 22, respectively. Moreover, fans (not shown in the figure) are provided on both sides of the blade battery clusters 22 to guide gas from the air inlet side into the heat dissipation component 3 to absorb heat and then exhaust it from the air outlet side (e.g., ...). Figure 8 (As indicated by the arrows from left to right).

[0055] Furthermore, the fan speed can be intelligently adjusted based on real-time changes in battery temperature. When the temperature of battery module 23 rises, the fan speed will automatically increase to enhance heat dissipation airflow and quickly lower the temperature of battery module 23; when the temperature of battery module 23 decreases, the fan speed will decrease accordingly, effectively reducing energy consumption and achieving a balance between energy saving and efficient heat dissipation.

[0056] It is understood that the air inlet side and air outlet side of the heat dissipation component 3 are connected to the air duct 4 respectively. The lower temperature gas in the air inlet side air duct 4 is introduced into the battery module 23 to absorb heat, and then the gas carrying heat is discharged to the air outlet side air duct 4.

[0057] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As can be seen, the air duct 4 includes an air inlet duct 41 located at the top of the blade battery cluster 22 and along the top wall 15, a diversion duct 44 and a heat dissipation duct 42 located between two adjacent blade battery clusters 22, and an air outlet duct 43 located along the bottom wall 16. The air inlet duct 41 connects to the air inlet of the air conditioner 52, and the air outlet duct 43 connects to the return air inlet of the air conditioner 52.

[0058] As shown in the figure, the air inlet channel 41 spans the top of multiple blade battery clusters 22 arranged side by side, and the diversion channel 44 is provided with a diversion structure to connect the air inlet channel 41 to the air inlet side of the heat dissipation component 3 of each layer of the battery module 23 of the blade battery cluster 22. The air outlet channel 43 is located at the bottom of the multiple blade battery clusters 22 arranged side by side, and the heat dissipation channel 42 connects the air outlet side of each layer of heat dissipation component 3 to the air outlet channel 43.

[0059] Specifically, each blade battery cluster 22 in the figure has a diversion channel 44 on the left side and a heat dissipation channel 42 on the right side.

[0060] Furthermore, the inner wall of the air duct 4 can be made of sheet metal, which can effectively reduce the resistance of gas during the flow process, thereby increasing the gas flow speed and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0061] Furthermore, to ensure the safety of the power storage device, an explosion relief plate 18 can be installed at the location corresponding to the energy storage compartment 2 on the top wall 14 (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 2 (As shown), to prevent the shock waves and debris generated by the power storage device due to excessive internal pressure from causing injury to personnel and equipment.

[0062] The heat exchange process of the power energy storage device of this utility model is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, during heat dissipation, the air inlet of the air conditioner 52 introduces cooler external air through the air inlet grille 53, such as... Figure 8 As indicated by the upward arrow, the gas flows towards the top wall 15, enters the air intake channel 41, and flows to the top of each row of battery clusters 22.

[0063] The diversion channel 44 introduces gas from the air inlet channel 41, as shown by the downward arrow in the figure. The gas flows towards the bottom wall 16. During the flow, it passes through the diversion structure of the diversion channel 44 and the suction force of the fan on the air inlet side of the heat dissipation component 3 of the blade battery cluster 22, as shown by the arrows from left to right in the figure. This absorbs the heat from the heat dissipation component 3 of each battery module 23. The gas, carrying the absorbed heat, is discharged to the heat dissipation channel 42 on the other side. The gas carrying heat flows towards the air outlet channel 43 within the heat dissipation channel 42, as shown by the downward arrow in the figure.

[0064] As shown by the arrows from right to left in the figure, the air carrying heat enters the return air vent of the air conditioner 52 through the air outlet duct 43 and is discharged to the outside from the air outlet grille 54, thereby completing the heat dissipation of the power storage device.

[0065] It is understandable that when the blade battery cluster 22 is at a low temperature, the aforementioned heat exchange process can be used to introduce hotter gas, thereby raising the temperature of the blade battery cluster 22, and expelling the cooler gas after heat exchange to the outside, thus ensuring the operating temperature of the blade battery cluster 22.

[0066] The power storage device of this utility model includes an energy storage device 21 and a thermal management device 51 for dissipating heat from the energy storage device 21. The energy storage device 21 integrates multiple blade batteries 24 into a battery module 23, and integrates multiple battery modules 23 into a blade battery cluster 22. The integrated blade battery cluster 22 has a concentrated structure and high energy density and integration, and can operate efficiently.

[0067] Furthermore, the battery module 23 is also equipped with a heat dissipation component 3 connected to the thermal management device 51 through the air duct 4. Gas is introduced by the thermal management device 51 and enters each layer of the battery module 23 of the blade battery cluster 22 from the top of the blade battery cluster 22 through the diversion structure of the air duct 4 for heat exchange, and is concentratedly output from the bottom of the blade battery cluster 22 to the thermal management device 51 and discharged to the outside.

[0068] The power storage device of this utility model also includes a prefabricated cabin 1, an energy storage device 21 and a thermal management device 51 housed inside it. The side wall of the prefabricated cabin 1 is provided with a door 17 corresponding to the energy storage device 21 and the thermal management device 51, so as to facilitate the operation of the corresponding energy storage device 21 or thermal management device 51 by the staff from the outside.

[0069] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the above description. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the scope of this utility model.
