Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular to a waterproof power distribution box and an energy storage container. Background Technology
[0002] Energy storage containers are widely used in outdoor or industrial environments. Their power distribution boxes, as critical components, are often exposed to harsh weather conditions such as rain, dust, high temperatures, and low temperatures. In practical applications, extreme weather (such as heavy rain and typhoons) can lead to localized water immersion, or water can enter the external power distribution box due to leaks in the equipment itself (such as damaged waterproofing or blocked drainage systems). These problems can not only cause safety accidents such as electrical leakage but may also damage other instruments, affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the equipment.
[0003] The existing power distribution boxes in energy storage containers have significant shortcomings in terms of waterproofing performance. The waterproofing design of traditional power distribution boxes is relatively simple. Although they can achieve basic waterproofing functions, they are still susceptible to water immersion or moisture in complex environments, such as rainy or humid weather, which leads to increased equipment failure rates and safety risks. Utility Model Content

Through the design of a sealing structure and a drainage structure, it effectively solves the problems of existing distribution boxes being susceptible to moisture and water ingress in complex environments, leading to malfunctions and safety hazards, and significantly improves waterproof performance and reliability. Another purpose of this application is to provide an energy storage container.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a waterproof distribution box, comprising:

[0009] The box body is further provided with a drainage structure and an installation structure. The first end of the drainage structure is connected to the power distribution installation cavity, and the second end of the drainage structure is connected to the outside of the box body. The installation structure is located above the first end of the drainage structure in the power distribution installation cavity.
[0010] In some embodiments, the housing is further provided with a guide structure, which is located below the mounting structure in the power distribution installation cavity, and the guide structure is inclined from the mounting structure toward the drainage structure.
[0011] In some embodiments, the power distribution mounting cavity has a first inner surface and a second inner surface that are perpendicular to each other;
[0012] The mounting structure is located on the first inner surface, the guide structure is connected between the first inner surface and the second inner surface, the first end of the drainage structure leads to the second inner surface, the second end of the drainage structure is located on the side of the box body connected to the cover, and the second end of the drainage structure is located between the lower side of the cover and the box body.
[0013] In some embodiments, the waterproof distribution box further includes a sensing mechanism located below the mounting structure in the distribution mounting cavity, the sensing mechanism being used to detect liquid level information.
[0014] In some embodiments, the housing is further provided with an inclined guide structure, and the sensing mechanism is located on the guide structure.
[0015] In some embodiments, the sensing mechanism includes:
[0016] Mounting components are installed in the power distribution mounting cavity;
[0017] The water immersion sensor body is magnetically attached to the mounting component.
[0018] In some embodiments, the box body is further provided with an isolation structure, the isolation structure covering the first end of the drainage structure, and the isolation structure is provided with a mesh.
[0019] In some embodiments, the cover is provided with an observation window, and the observation window is equipped with a light-transmitting structure.
[0020] This application also provides an energy storage container, including a container body and the aforementioned waterproof power distribution box, wherein the waterproof power distribution box is disposed in the container body.
[0021] In some embodiments, the waterproof distribution box is embedded in the enclosure, and the surface of the waterproof distribution box is flush with the surface of the enclosure.
[0022] Compared to the aforementioned background technology, the waterproof distribution box provided in this application includes a box body, a cover, and a sealing structure. The box body has a distribution installation cavity; the cover is rotatably connected to the box body, and the distribution installation cavity can be opened or closed by rotating the cover; the sealing structure is provided on at least one of the box body and the cover, and the sealing structure can seal the box body and the cover when the cover closes the distribution installation cavity; wherein, the box body also has a drainage structure and an installation structure, the first end of the drainage structure is connected to the distribution installation cavity, the second end of the drainage structure is connected to the outside of the box body, and the installation structure is located above the first end of the drainage structure in the distribution installation cavity.
[0023] In outdoor or industrial environments, the power distribution boxes of energy storage containers often face challenges from harsh weather conditions, such as rain, dust, high temperatures, and low temperatures. Especially under extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or typhoons, the power distribution boxes are susceptible to water ingress due to localized water immersion or damage to their waterproofing devices. Furthermore, even in non-extreme weather conditions, moisture condensation can cause the inside of the power distribution box to become damp, potentially leading to safety accidents such as electrical leakage, damaging other instruments, and affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the equipment. While existing waterproof designs for traditional power distribution boxes can achieve basic waterproofing, they still have significant shortcomings in complex environments, failing to effectively prevent moisture intrusion or promptly drain accumulated water.
[0024] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a waterproof distribution box, whose ingenious design solves the shortcomings of existing distribution boxes that are susceptible to moisture and water ingress in complex environments. The waterproof distribution box includes a box body and a cover. The box body has an internal distribution installation cavity for installing electrical equipment. The cover is rotatably connected to the box body, allowing the distribution installation cavity to be flexibly opened or closed, facilitating equipment installation and maintenance. Crucially, a sealing structure is provided on at least one of the box body and the cover. When the cover closes the distribution installation cavity, the sealing structure ensures a tight seal between the box body and the cover, effectively preventing the intrusion of external moisture and dust, thus solving the water ingress problem caused by inadequate sealing in existing technologies.
[0025] In addition, the enclosure features a specially designed drainage and mounting structure. The first end of the drainage structure connects to the electrical installation cavity, while the second end leads to the outside of the enclosure. This design not only allows for timely drainage in case of accidental water ingress, preventing damage to internal electrical equipment, but also effectively addresses condensation. When water vapor condenses into droplets inside the electrical installation cavity, the drainage structure guides these droplets out while maintaining airflow, reducing internal humidity, and preventing moisture from interfering with the electrical equipment. The mounting structure is located above the first end of the drainage structure. This layout further optimizes the use of internal space, ensuring reasonable installation positions for electrical equipment without affecting the normal operation of the drainage structure. Furthermore, the airflow provided by the drainage structure also improves heat dissipation.
[0026] Based on the above structural and process descriptions, it can be seen that the waterproof distribution box has at least the following beneficial effects: Through the design of the sealing and drainage structures, the waterproof distribution box effectively solves the problem that existing distribution boxes are prone to moisture and water ingress in complex environments, leading to malfunctions and safety hazards, and significantly improves waterproof performance and reliability.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0044] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an energy storage container provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of a waterproof distribution box provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0046] This application provides a waterproof power distribution box and an energy storage container, such as Figure 1 The energy storage container 100 shown, and Figure 2 The waterproof distribution box 1 shown is installed in the energy storage container 100. This application is based on an improvement to the waterproof distribution box 1.
[0047] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a waterproof power distribution box provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the waterproof power distribution box provided in an embodiment of this application from another perspective. Figure 5 for Figure 4 AA schematic diagram of a waterproof distribution box. Figure 6 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the current conduction of a waterproof distribution box.
[0048] In a first specific embodiment, the waterproof distribution box 1 provided in this application includes a box body 10, a cover 20, and a sealing structure 30.
[0049] The box body 10 is provided with a power distribution installation cavity 101; the cover 20 is rotatably connected to the box body 10, and the power distribution installation cavity 101 can be opened or closed by rotating the cover 20; the sealing structure 30 is provided on at least one of the box body 10 and the cover 20, and the sealing structure 30 can seal the box body 10 and the cover 20 when the cover 20 closes the power distribution installation cavity 101.
[0050] It should be noted that this embodiment covers various configurations of the sealing structure 30. For example, the sealing structure 30 can be disposed on the box body 10. When the cover 20 is rotated and closed, the cover 20 contacts and seals with the sealing structure 30 on the box body 10, and the sealing structure 30 fills the gap between the cover 20 and the box body 10. Alternatively, the sealing structure 30 can be disposed on the cover 20. When the cover 20 is rotated and closed, the sealing structure 30 on the cover 20 contacts and seals with the box body 10, and the sealing structure 30 fills the gap between the cover 20 and the box body 10.
[0051] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is further provided with a drainage structure 102 and a mounting structure 103. The first end of the drainage structure 102 is connected to the power distribution mounting cavity 101, and the second end of the drainage structure 102 extends to the outside of the housing 10. The mounting structure 103 is located above the first end of the drainage structure 102 in the power distribution mounting cavity 101.
[0052] It should be noted that this embodiment does not limit the structural form of the drainage structure 102. For example, the drainage structure 102 can be a pipe with a perforated cross-section; the drainage structure 102 can also be a channel with a trough-shaped cross-section. The structural form of the mounting structure 103 is also not limited. For example, the mounting structure 103 can be a mounting plate with holes and connection structures for mounting electrical equipment; the mounting structure 103 can also be holes and connection structures directly provided on the box 10.
[0053] In outdoor or industrial environments, the power distribution box of the energy storage container 100 often faces challenges from harsh weather conditions, such as rain, dust, high temperatures, and low temperatures. Especially under extreme weather conditions, such as heavy rain or typhoons, the power distribution box is prone to water ingress due to localized water immersion or damage to its waterproofing devices. Furthermore, even in non-extreme weather conditions, moisture condensation can cause the inside of the power distribution box to become damp, potentially leading to safety accidents such as electrical leakage, damaging other instruments, and affecting the normal operation and lifespan of the equipment. While existing waterproof designs for traditional power distribution boxes can achieve basic waterproofing, they still have significant shortcomings in complex environments, failing to effectively prevent moisture intrusion or promptly drain internal water.
[0054] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a waterproof distribution box 1, whose ingenious design solves the defects of existing distribution boxes that are susceptible to moisture and water ingress in complex environments. The waterproof distribution box 1 includes a box body 10 and a cover 20. The box body 10 has an internal distribution installation cavity 101 for installing electrical equipment. The cover 20 is rotatably connected to the box body 10, allowing for flexible opening and closing of the distribution installation cavity 101, facilitating equipment installation and maintenance. Crucially, a sealing structure 30 is provided on at least one of the box body 10 and the cover 20. When the cover 20 closes the distribution installation cavity 101, the sealing structure 30 ensures a tight seal between the box body 10 and the cover 20, effectively preventing the intrusion of external moisture and dust, thus solving the water ingress problem caused by poor sealing in the prior art.
[0055] In addition, the housing 10 is specially designed with a drainage structure 102 and a mounting structure 103. The first end of the drainage structure 102 connects to the electrical installation cavity 101, while the second end leads to the outside of the housing 10. This design not only allows for timely drainage of accumulated water in case of accidental water ingress, preventing damage to internal electrical equipment, but also effectively addresses the issue of water vapor condensation. When water vapor condenses into droplets inside the electrical installation cavity 101, the drainage structure 102 guides these droplets out while maintaining air circulation, reducing internal humidity, and preventing moisture from interfering with the electrical equipment. The mounting structure 103 is located above the first end of the drainage structure 102. This layout further optimizes the use of internal space, ensuring a reasonable installation location for electrical equipment without affecting the normal operation of the drainage structure 102. Furthermore, since the drainage structure 102 provides air circulation, it also improves heat dissipation performance.
[0056] Based on the above structural and process descriptions, it can be seen that the waterproof distribution box 1 has at least the following beneficial effects: Through the design of the sealing structure 30 and the drainage structure 102, the waterproof distribution box 1 effectively solves the problem that existing distribution boxes are prone to moisture and water ingress in complex environments, leading to malfunctions and safety hazards, and significantly improves waterproof performance and reliability.
[0057] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is further provided with a guide structure 104, which is located below the mounting structure 103 in the power distribution mounting cavity 101, and the guide structure 104 is inclined in the direction from the mounting structure 103 toward the drainage structure 102.
[0058] In this embodiment, the internal structural design of the box 10 is further optimized by adding a guide structure 104 to improve the overall performance of the waterproof distribution box 1. The guide structure 104 is located in the power distribution mounting cavity 101 and below the mounting structure 103. Its unique inclined setting makes it play an important role in the internal structure of the waterproof distribution box 1.
[0059] The main function of the guide structure 104 is to guide water flow. In actual use, when water enters the electrical distribution installation cavity 101, the guide structure 104 effectively guides the water flow along its inclined angle from the direction of the installation structure 103 towards the drainage structure 102. This design not only ensures that the water can smoothly drain from the electrical distribution installation cavity 101, but also avoids the possibility of backflow. In this way, the guide structure 104 provides a reliable water flow guidance mechanism for the waterproof electrical distribution box 1, further enhancing its waterproof performance and reliability.
[0060] In some cases, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 The guide structure 104 can be regarded as a chamfered structure inside the waterproof distribution box 1, which can provide water flow guidance in the direction from the mounting structure 103 to the drainage structure 102.
[0061] In some embodiments, the power distribution mounting cavity 101 has a first inner surface 1011 and a second inner surface 1012 that are perpendicular to each other;
[0062] The mounting structure 103 is located on the first inner surface 1011, the guide structure 104 is connected between the first inner surface 1011 and the second inner surface 1012, the first end of the drainage structure 102 leads to the second inner surface 1012, the second end of the drainage structure 102 is located on the side of the box 10 connected to the cover 20, and the second end of the drainage structure 102 is located between the lower side of the cover 20 and the box 10.
[0063] In this embodiment, the internal structure design of the power distribution installation cavity 101 further optimizes the functionality and safety of the waterproof power distribution box 1 through clear surface division and reasonable spatial layout. The power distribution installation cavity 101 has a first inner surface 1011 and a second inner surface 1012 that are perpendicular to each other. This perpendicular relationship can be understood as a relative spatial positioning, where the first inner surface 1011 is similar to a vertical plane, while the second inner surface 1012 is similar to a horizontal plane. This design provides a basis for the layout of the installation structure 103 and the drainage structure 102.
[0064] The mounting structure 103 is located on the first inner surface 1011, i.e., the vertical surface. Because the mounting structure 103 is positioned above the drainage structure 102, this elevated arrangement allows the electrical equipment mounted on it to be kept away from areas prone to water accumulation, thus providing better protection. The first end of the drainage structure 102 opens to the second inner surface 1012, i.e., the horizontal surface, ensuring smooth water flow from the inside of the electrical distribution mounting cavity 101 to the drainage structure 102. The second end of the drainage structure 102 is located on the side of the box 10 connected to the cover 20, and is situated between the lower side of the cover 20 and the box 10. This arrangement positions the outlet of the drainage structure 102 between the lower side of the electrical distribution box door and the frame, facilitating water drainage while preventing direct contact between water and the cover 20, further enhancing waterproofing.
[0065] This spatial layout with varying elevations not only ensures that the electrical equipment is installed in a reasonable location, but also ensures that the drainage structure 102 can effectively guide water flow out, preventing water accumulation from damaging the equipment.
[0066] Furthermore, the mounting structure 103 provides vertical mounting conditions for electrical equipment. Compared to the traditional horizontal placement method, this design further improves the waterproof effect and prevents damage to electrical equipment due to immersion. Based on this spatial layout, the guide structure 104 connects the first inner surface 1011 and the second inner surface 1012, and can be regarded as a chamfer between the vertical and horizontal planes. It not only guides water flow along its inclined direction from the mounting structure 103 to the drainage structure 102, but also effectively prevents backflow of water, further improving the waterproof performance and reliability of the waterproof distribution box 1.
[0067] In some embodiments, the waterproof power distribution box 1 further includes a sensing mechanism 40, which is located below the mounting structure 103 in the power distribution mounting cavity 101 and is used to detect liquid level information.
[0068] In this embodiment, the function of the waterproof power distribution box 1 has been further expanded and optimized. By introducing a sensing mechanism 40, its ability to monitor the internal environment has been enhanced. The sensing mechanism 40 is disposed in the power distribution mounting cavity 101 and located below the mounting structure 103. This positional arrangement enables it to effectively monitor the liquid level within the power distribution mounting cavity 101.
[0069] The primary function of the sensing mechanism 40 is to detect liquid level information. In practical applications, when the liquid level in the electrical distribution installation cavity 101 rises due to accidental water ingress or other reasons, the sensing mechanism 40 can monitor the change in liquid level in real time. Once the liquid level exceeds a preset safety threshold, the sensing mechanism 40 will provide feedback, promptly transmitting the abnormal situation to the relevant monitoring system or operators. This timely feedback mechanism is crucial for rapid response and handling of potential safety hazards, effectively preventing equipment failures or safety accidents caused by water accumulation, and ensuring the safe operation of the waterproof electrical distribution box 1 and its internal electrical equipment.
[0070] By incorporating the sensing mechanism 40, the waterproof distribution box 1 not only possesses excellent waterproof and drainage capabilities but also enhances its real-time monitoring ability of internal liquid levels, further improving its reliability and safety in complex environments.
[0071] It should be noted that the threshold setting of the sensing mechanism 40 should take into account the flow of water guided by the guide structure 104. For example, when the guide structure 104 is normally guiding the water flow, there may be a water flow at the sensing mechanism 40 with a liquid level of the first height. In this case, the threshold of the sensing mechanism 40 should be set above the first height to avoid false alarms under normal flow conditions due to the threshold of the sensing mechanism 40 being lower than the first height.
[0072] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is further provided with an inclined guide structure 104, and the sensing mechanism 40 is located in the guide structure 104.
[0073] In this embodiment, the structural design of the box 10 is further optimized. By setting an inclined guide structure 104, not only is a flow path provided for the water, but also an installation position for the sensing mechanism 40. This integrated design improves the space utilization efficiency and functionality of the waterproof power distribution box 1.
[0074] The inclined design of the guide structure 104 effectively directs water flow from the mounting structure 103 to the drainage structure 102, ensuring smooth drainage of the electrical installation cavity 101 while preventing backflow. This guiding effect is one of the core functions of the guide structure 104. Utilizing its inclined angle and shape, it provides a clear drainage path for the water, thereby reducing the residence time of water within the electrical installation cavity 101 and lowering the risk of water accumulation.
[0075] Furthermore, the sensing mechanism 40 is positioned on the guide structure 104, a layout that makes full use of the space within the guide structure 104. Under normal circumstances, when the guide structure 104 is guiding the water flow normally, the sensing mechanism 40 will not trigger an alarm because the water flow can be smoothly discharged and the liquid level remains within a safe range. However, in the event of an anomaly, such as a blockage in the drainage structure 102 or excessive water flow leading to water accumulation, the liquid level will rise and contact the sensing mechanism 40, thereby triggering an alarm. This design ensures that the sensing mechanism 40 can provide timely feedback at critical moments, reminding operators to take measures to address water accumulation issues, further enhancing the safety and reliability of the waterproof distribution box 1.
[0076] By setting the sensing mechanism 40 on the guide structure 104, this embodiment not only optimizes the spatial layout but also achieves functional integration, enabling the waterproof power distribution box 1 to monitor the internal liquid level in real time while having good waterproof and drainage functions, and to promptly detect and deal with potential safety hazards.
[0077] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the sensing mechanism provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0078] In some embodiments, the sensing mechanism 40 includes:
[0079] Mounting component 401 is installed in the power distribution mounting cavity 101;
[0080] The water immersion sensor body 402 is magnetically attached to the mounting component 401.
[0081] In this embodiment, the structural design of the sensing mechanism 40 is further refined to achieve a more efficient functional layout and flexible installation method. The sensing mechanism 40 mainly includes two key parts: the mounting component 401 and the water immersion sensor body 402.
[0082] The mounting component 401 is disposed within the power distribution mounting cavity 101, and its main function is to provide a stable mounting base for the water immersion sensor body 402. By fixing the mounting component 401 in the appropriate position in the power distribution mounting cavity 101, it can be ensured that the water immersion sensor body 402 can operate normally within the expected liquid level range, while avoiding sensor displacement or damage due to equipment vibration or other external forces.
[0083] The water immersion sensor body 402 is magnetically mounted on the mounting component 401. This magnetic mounting method is not only simple to operate, easy to install and maintain, but also allows for quick sensor replacement when needed without the need for complex disassembly tools or rewiring. Magnetic mounting also offers a degree of flexibility, allowing the water immersion sensor body 402 to be finely adjusted on the mounting component 401 to adapt to different installation environments and detection requirements.
[0084] Through this design, the sensing mechanism 40 can achieve accurate liquid level monitoring within the power distribution installation cavity 101. When the liquid level rises to the detection range of the water immersion sensor body 402, the sensor will immediately trigger an alarm, reminding operators to take timely measures to deal with the water accumulation problem. This design not only improves the safety and reliability of the waterproof power distribution box 1, but also enhances the ease of equipment maintenance through magnetic installation.
[0085] Optionally, an adhesive backing is provided on the mounting component 401, and the mounting component 401 is glued and fixed to the power distribution mounting cavity 101.
[0086] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is further provided with an isolation structure 105, which covers the first end of the drainage structure 102 and has mesh openings.
[0087] In this embodiment, the structural design of the box 10 is further optimized. By adding an isolation structure 105, the protective performance of the waterproof distribution box 1 is further improved. The isolation structure 105 is set at the first end of the drainage structure 102, covering its opening, and serves to prevent external foreign objects from entering.
[0088] The main function of the isolation structure 105 is to prevent external foreign objects, such as dust, debris, or insects, from entering the drainage structure 102, thereby preventing these foreign objects from clogging the drainage channel or entering the electrical installation cavity 101 and damaging the electrical equipment. In some cases, the isolation structure 105 can be regarded as an insect screen, whose mesh design can effectively block insects and other small organisms from entering, while not affecting the normal drainage function of the drainage structure 102.
[0089] The isolation structure 105 has a mesh, typically between 20 and 100 meshes. This range of mesh sizes meets most common insect control needs, effectively preventing insects and other foreign objects from entering without obstructing water flow. For example, a 20-mesh mesh is larger and suitable for blocking larger insects or debris, while a 100-mesh mesh is finer and can block smaller insects and dust particles. By appropriately selecting the mesh size, the isolation structure 105 can provide reliable protection while ensuring drainage efficiency.
[0090] By setting up the isolation structure 105, the waterproof distribution box 1 not only has good waterproof and drainage functions, but also enhances its protection against the external environment, further improving its reliability and safety in complex environments.
[0091] In some embodiments, the cover 20 is provided with an observation window 202, and the observation window 202 is equipped with a light-transmitting structure 203.
[0092] In this embodiment, the design of the cover 20 is further optimized. By setting an observation window 202 and a light-transmitting structure 203 installed thereon, a more convenient internal observation function is provided for the waterproof power distribution box 1.
[0093] An observation window 202 is positioned and sized on the cover 20, with careful design to allow clear observation of the electrical equipment and related structures inside the power distribution installation cavity 101. Through the observation window 202, operators can visually understand the operating status and installation condition of the internal equipment, as well as any abnormalities such as water accumulation or equipment damage, without opening the cover 20. This design not only improves operational convenience but also reduces the introduction of dust or moisture that may be introduced due to frequent opening of the cover 20, further enhancing the sealing and protective performance of the waterproof power distribution box 1.
[0094] The light-transmitting structure 203 is mounted on the observation window 202. Its main function is to provide sufficient light so that operators can clearly observe the internal situation. The light-transmitting structure 203 can be made of transparent materials, such as acrylic sheets or tempered glass. These materials not only have good light transmittance but also sufficient strength and weather resistance to withstand harsh conditions in outdoor or industrial environments. In addition, the design of the light-transmitting structure 203 also takes into account waterproof and dustproof performance, ensuring that the overall protection level of the waterproof electrical distribution box 1 is further improved without affecting observation.
[0095] By setting up the observation window 202 and the light transmission structure 203, the waterproof power distribution box 1 of this embodiment can not only effectively protect the internal electrical equipment from the influence of the external environment, but also provide operators with a convenient means of internal observation, making it easier to discover and deal with potential problems in a timely manner, and further improving the reliability and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.
[0096] Alternatively, the light-transmitting structure 203 can be made of transparent acrylic sheet. The light-transmitting structure 203 can be installed and fixed by pressure plate 204.
[0097] In some embodiments, the cover 20 is rotatably connected to the box 10 via a hinge 201. A door lock 205 is provided on the cover 20 to lock the cover 20 and the box 10.
[0098] This application also provides an energy storage container 100, including a container body 2 and the aforementioned waterproof power distribution box 1, wherein the waterproof power distribution box 1 is disposed in the container body 2.
[0099] In this embodiment, the application scope of the waterproof power distribution box 1 is further expanded, and an energy storage container 100 is proposed. The energy storage container 100 includes a container body 2 and the waterproof power distribution box 1 described above. The waterproof power distribution box 1 is disposed inside the container body 2 and becomes an important component of the energy storage container 100.
[0100] Because the waterproof distribution box 1 itself has a series of optimized designs, such as the sealing structure 30, drainage structure 102, mounting structure 103, guiding structure 104, sensing mechanism 40, and isolation structure 105, these designs enable the waterproof distribution box 1 to maintain good waterproof performance and reliability in complex outdoor or industrial environments. Therefore, when this waterproof distribution box 1 is integrated into the energy storage container 100, the energy storage container 100 also possesses all the beneficial technical effects of the waterproof distribution box 1.
[0101] Specifically, the energy storage container 100, through the integrated waterproof power distribution box 1, effectively prevents external environmental factors such as rain and dust from damaging the internal electrical equipment, reducing equipment failures and safety hazards caused by severe weather or unexpected situations. Simultaneously, the design of the drainage structure 102 and the isolation structure 105 ensures that even in the presence of water or foreign objects, reasonable drainage and protective measures maintain the normal operation of the equipment. The presence of the sensing mechanism 40 further enhances the intelligence level of the energy storage container 100, enabling it to monitor the internal liquid level in real time and issue alarms when necessary.
[0102] Therefore, the energy storage container 100 of this application not only possesses all the beneficial technical effects of the waterproof power distribution box 1, but also improves the stability and safety of the entire energy storage system by integrating these functions, making it more suitable for use in various complex environments.
[0103] In some embodiments, the waterproof distribution box 1 is embedded in the enclosure 2, and the surface of the waterproof distribution box 1 is flush with the surface of the enclosure 2.
[0104] In this embodiment, the waterproof power distribution box 1 adopts an embedded design and is cleverly installed inside the container 2 of the energy storage container 100. Specifically, the waterproof power distribution box 1 is embedded in the structure of the container 2, and its surface is flush with the surface of the container 2, forming an integrated appearance and avoiding the occupation of external space.
[0105] Furthermore, the embedded design further enhances the protective performance of the waterproof distribution box 1. Since the surface of the waterproof distribution box 1 is flush with the surface of the enclosure 2, it integrates better into the overall structure of the enclosure 2, thereby reducing the risk of damage caused by external collisions or impacts. In addition, this design effectively prevents rainwater, dust, and other external environmental factors from directly contacting the surface of the waterproof distribution box 1, further improving its waterproof and dustproof performance.
[0106] By embedding the waterproof distribution box 1 into the container 2 and making its surface flush with the surface of the container 2, this embodiment not only optimizes space utilization but also improves the overall protective performance and appearance design of the energy storage container 100. This design allows the waterproof distribution box 1 to better perform its waterproof, dustproof, and intelligent monitoring functions without increasing external space occupation, further enhancing the reliability and practicality of the energy storage container 100 in complex environments.
