Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of container energy storage cabinets, specifically a modular positioning and insertion battery support structure for container energy storage cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] Containerized energy storage units are large-scale energy storage systems that house numerous battery modules to store electrical energy and are equipped with an advanced battery management system (BMS) to ensure safe and efficient operation. They can store large amounts of electrical energy and rapidly charge and discharge as needed, making them widely applicable in areas such as grid peak shaving, renewable energy storage, emergency power supplies, and energy management in industrial parks, effectively improving energy utilization efficiency and power supply stability.

[0003] Batteries in the cabinet are typically fixed to the battery racks of the energy storage cabinet using mechanical structures. Common installation methods include using screws to fasten the batteries to the battery racks. In environments with significant vibration or temperature changes, the screws may loosen, affecting the battery's fixation. Furthermore, battery installation and removal require tools, which is cumbersome. To address this, some battery racks are equipped with limiting clips. While this eliminates the need for tools, it often requires prying or shifting the clips after the battery is in place. Improper operation by staff can easily lead to inaccurate positioning, resulting in poor battery installation stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a modular positioning and insertion battery support structure for containerized energy storage cabinets to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

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

[0006] The modular, positioning, and insertion-type containerized energy storage cabinet battery support structure includes the frame structure, and also includes:

[0007] Multiple support beams are installed on the frame structure. The multiple support beams are distributed at equal intervals along the height of the frame structure and are arranged opposite each other in pairs. The two opposite support beams form a placement position for inserting batteries into the frame structure.

[0008] The positioning pin is located on the support beam and is connected to the elastic structure at the bottom of the support beam. When the battery slides on the support beam to reach the placement position, the positioning pin moves down and the elastic structure stores elastic potential energy. When the battery reaches the placement position, the elastic structure releases the elastic potential energy, and the positioning pin can spring into the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery. The positioning pin and the clearance hole are compatible.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the frame structure includes multiple vertical arms arranged in pairs opposite to each other, and the multiple vertical arms located on the same side form a vertical arm group for installing the supporting beams. The multiple supporting beams are fixedly installed on the vertical arm group and are equidistantly distributed along the height direction of the vertical arm group.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the supporting beam is provided with a through hole adapted to the positioning pin. When the battery is located on the supporting beam but has not reached the placement position, the positioning pin retracts into the through hole. When the battery is located in the placement position, the positioning pin protrudes from the through hole.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a mounting base is fixed at the bottom of the supporting beam, a cylindrical cavity is provided in the mounting base, the cylindrical cavity is connected to the through hole, and the elastic structure is provided in the cylindrical cavity.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the elastic structure includes a column fixed to the positioning pin, the column passing through the bottom of the mounting base and slidably connected to the mounting base, and an unlocking component connected to the end of the column away from the positioning pin, the unlocking component being able to perform a deflection action and causing the column to slide relative to the mounting base.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a parting surface is formed at the connection between the positioning pin and the column, and a cylindrical spring is also sleeved on the outer periphery of the column, with the two ends of the cylindrical spring abutting against the parting surface and the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity, respectively.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the unlocking component includes a handle that is rotatably mounted on the end of the column away from the positioning pin via a pivot pin. When the handle is rotated, it can abut against the bottom of the mounting base and cause the column to retract the positioning pin into the through hole.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: a support frame is fixed to the bottom of the supporting beam, and a reinforcing plate is fixed to the bottom of the support frame.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This application incorporates a positioning pin supported by an elastic structure at the bottom of the supporting beam. During battery installation, the positioning pin automatically switches between protruding and retracted states. Specifically, the battery's gravity causes the positioning pin to retract, facilitating the battery's movement to the designated placement position. Furthermore, by utilizing the alignment between the positioning pin and the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery, the positioning pin automatically switches to the protruding state and inserts into the clearance hole once the battery reaches the placement position, achieving automatic positioning and locking of the battery. This ensures battery installation stability while effectively simplifying the installation process, eliminating the need for workers to use tools to tighten the battery, thus significantly improving work efficiency.

[0018] Secondly, when the battery needs to be removed, the operator only needs to hold the handle and drive it to rotate. Utilizing the eccentricity of the handle during rotation, the height of the pivot pin decreases, and the handle can then apply a downward pulling force to the column through the pivot pin, causing the column to drive the positioning pin and pull it out of the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery, thus unlocking the battery. This achieves a quick battery unlocking function and can effectively save on battery removal work in daily maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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.

[0025] Furthermore, the elements in this invention are referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, which may be directly on the other element or may also include an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or may also include an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, the modular positioning and insertion container energy storage cabinet battery support structure includes a frame structure and further includes:

[0027] Multiple support beams 2 are provided on the frame structure. The multiple support beams 2 are distributed at equal intervals along the height of the frame structure and are arranged opposite each other in pairs. The two opposite support beams 2 form a placement position for inserting batteries into the frame structure.

[0028] The positioning pin 6 is located on the support beam 2 and is connected to the elastic structure located at the bottom of the support beam 2. When the battery slides on the support beam 2 to reach the placement position, the positioning pin 6 moves down and the elastic structure stores elastic potential energy. When the battery reaches the placement position, the elastic structure releases the elastic potential energy, and the positioning pin 6 can spring into the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery. The positioning pin 6 is adapted to the clearance hole.

[0029] In actual use, the area of ​​the placement position is adapted to the size of the battery, and when no battery is placed on the placement position, the positioning pin 6 protrudes from the surface of the supporting beam 2 under the support of the elastic structure.

[0030] When installing the battery, the tail end of the battery is first placed on the placement position. Due to gravity, the battery applies pressure to the positioning pin 6, and the positioning pin 6 moves downward until the upper end of the positioning pin 6 is flush with the surface of the supporting beam 2. At this time, the elastic structure stores elastic potential energy.

[0031] Then, the battery is pushed into the frame structure until it fits into the placement position. Once the battery is in place, the positioning pin 6 corresponds exactly to the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery. As a result, the pressure on the positioning pin 6 disappears, and the elastic structure releases its elastic potential energy, causing the positioning pin 6 to move upward and reset. The positioning pin 6 springs into the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery, thus achieving effective positioning of the battery. During battery transportation and use, the positioning pin 6 can effectively prevent the battery from loosening and shifting, reducing accidents caused by unstable battery position.

[0032] Please refer to it again. Figure 1The frame structure includes multiple vertical arms 1 arranged in pairs opposite each other. The multiple vertical arms 1 located on the same side form a vertical arm group for the installation of the supporting beams 2. The multiple supporting beams 2 are fixedly installed on the vertical arm group and are equidistantly distributed along the height direction of the vertical arm group.

[0033] Please refer to [link / reference needed] for further information. Figure 1 The frame structure is three-dimensional. Multiple opposing support beams 2 are equidistantly arranged along the height direction, forming multiple placement positions equidistantly distributed along the height direction. This allows for the support and placement of batteries. The equidistantly distributed placement positions make battery placement similar to drawers, facilitating convenient battery placement. Modular battery insertion is possible, ensuring orderly arrangement and storage of batteries. This facilitates the inspection and management of battery quantity and status, helps in the timely detection and handling of battery problems, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of battery management.

[0034] Please refer to it again. Figure 3 The supporting beam 2 is provided with a through hole that is adapted to the positioning pin 6. When the battery is on the supporting beam 2 but has not reached the placement position, the positioning pin 6 retracts into the through hole. When the battery is in the placement position, the positioning pin 6 protrudes out of the through hole.

[0035] Specifically, in actual production, the specifications of the positioning pin 6 and the through hole should be determined according to the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery. That is, the positioning pin 6, the through hole, and the clearance hole should be compatible to ensure that the positioning pin 6 can slide in the through hole. When the positioning pin 6 protrudes from the through hole and extends above the surface of the support beam 2, the positioning pin 6 can be accurately inserted into the clearance hole, thereby achieving an effective positioning function for the battery and ensuring the stability of the battery in its placement position.

[0036] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 and Figure 4 The bottom of the supporting beam 2 is fixed with a mounting base 5. The mounting base 5 has a cylindrical cavity 501 that communicates with the through hole. The elastic structure is located within the cylindrical cavity 501. The elastic structure includes a column 7 fixed to the positioning pin 6. The column 7 passes through the bottom of the mounting base 5 and is slidably connected to it. An unlocking element is connected to the end of the column 7 away from the positioning pin 6. The unlocking element can perform a deflection action, causing the column 7 to slide relative to the mounting base 5.

[0037] A parting surface 9 is formed at the connection between the positioning pin 6 and the column 7, and a cylindrical spring 8 is also sleeved on the outer periphery of the column 7. The two ends of the cylindrical spring 8 abut against the parting surface 9 and the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity 501, respectively. The unlocking component includes a handle 10 rotatably mounted on the end of the column 7 away from the positioning pin 6 via a shaft pin 11. When the handle 10 is rotated, it abuts against the bottom of the mounting base 5, causing the column 7 to retract the positioning pin 6 into the through hole.

[0038] Furthermore, during battery installation, the battery tail end first acts on the protruding positioning pin 6. Under the weight of the battery, the positioning pin 6 moves downward and retracts into the through hole. Correspondingly, the column 7 slides downward, causing the column spring 8 to be compressed.

[0039] Subsequently, the battery is pushed to slide on the support beam 2 until it reaches the placement position and fits perfectly. At this time, the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery corresponds exactly to the positioning pin 6. The pressure on the positioning pin 6 is removed, and the column spring 8 rebounds, applying an upward pushing force to the positioning pin 6, causing the positioning pin 6 and the column 7 to move upward. The positioning pin 6 then protrudes from the surface of the support beam 2 again and is inserted into the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery, thereby achieving precise positioning of the battery and ensuring its stability.

[0040] Therefore, this application provides a positioning pin 6 supported by an elastic structure at the bottom of the supporting beam 2. During battery installation, the positioning pin 6 can automatically switch between protruding and retracted states. Specifically, the positioning pin 6 retracts using the weight of the battery, making it easier for the battery to be pushed to the position that matches the placement position. Furthermore, by utilizing the fit between the positioning pin 6 and the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery, the positioning pin 6 can automatically switch to the protruding state and insert into the clearance hole after the battery reaches the placement position, realizing the automatic positioning and locking function of the battery. While ensuring the stability of battery installation, it also effectively simplifies the battery installation operation, eliminating the need for workers to use tools to tighten the battery, thus effectively improving work efficiency.

[0041] When the battery needs to be removed, the operator simply holds the handle 10 and rotates it clockwise (see [reference]). Figure 2 The handle 10 abuts against the bottom of the mounting base 5 at a 90° angle. Consequently, the height of the pivot pin 11 decreases, and the handle 10 can apply a downward pulling force to the column 7 through the pivot pin 11, causing the column 7 to drive the positioning pin 6 to be pulled out of the clearance hole at the bottom of the battery, thus unlocking the battery. Therefore, by utilizing the eccentric characteristics of the handle 10 during rotation, the battery can be quickly unlocked, effectively saving the battery removal work in daily maintenance.

[0042] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 The bottom of the supporting beam 2 is also fixed with a support frame 3, and the bottom of the support frame 3 is fixed with a reinforcing plate 4.

[0043] The purpose of using the support frame 3 and the reinforcing plate 4 is to enhance the strength of the support beam 2, ensure that the support beam 2 can smoothly bear the weight of the battery, and play a reinforcing role, thereby improving the overall stability of the frame structure.
