Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lithium battery pack technology, and in particular to a battery insulation box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, as a new energy battery, lithium batteries are significantly affected by the working environment compared to traditional batteries. In particular, at low temperatures, the electrochemical activity of lithium batteries decreases, and their usability and charge / discharge performance degrade significantly. Low-temperature charging may lead to the deposition and accumulation of lithium ions, which seriously affects the service life of lithium batteries, causes irreversible damage, and may even lead to safety accidents.

[0003] Thermal insulation measures are particularly important for power batteries in low-temperature environments. On the one hand, they reduce the operating time of the battery heating system; on the other hand, they allow the battery to release its maximum discharge power, extending its lifespan and better protecting the battery cells. Current technology uses insulating cotton to wrap the battery, but this is incomplete and has poor insulation capabilities, failing to solve the problem of winter insulation for existing power batteries. Other current technologies use external heat sources to heat the battery, such as heating belts, heaters, or placing the battery in a heated environment, but this can lead to localized overheating. Furthermore, current technologies neglect monitoring the internal temperature of the charging unit enclosure, making it impossible for users to accurately monitor the internal temperature and potentially creating safety hazards.

[0004] Therefore, designing a dedicated thermal insulation enclosure for lithium batteries is crucial. This enclosure can keep lithium batteries warm in cold environments, control the internal temperature, improve the discharge capacity of the battery system, enhance the cyclic use of lithium batteries in extremely cold environments, further expand the application areas and efficiency of photovoltaic energy storage power stations, and provide strong support for national energy conservation and efficiency.

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the battery insulation box according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the unfolded structure of the battery insulation box according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery insulation box of the present invention includes:

[0029] The enclosure 1 and the heating device 2 are composed of an upper enclosure 3 and a lower enclosure 4, which are fastened together by Velcro 12. The heating device 2 consists of a heating blanket 5 and a heater 6, which are connected by a wire 7. The heater 6 includes a thermostat 8, a wire 7, and a wire lug 9. A fuse 10 is provided on the wire 7.

[0030] The upper casing 3 and the lower casing 4 are fastened together by Velcro 12 to form casing 1, facilitating battery storage; for example... Figure 3 As shown, the upper box 3 consists of a left side panel 3-1, a top panel 3-2, and a right side panel 3-3, with equal spacing between them. The lower box 4 consists of a front panel 4-1, a bottom panel 4-2, and a rear panel 4-3, with equal spacing between them. Velcro 12 is provided around the lower box 4 for attaching the upper box 3 and the lower box 4 to form the box 1. The upper box 3 and lower box 4 have a three-layer structure: an inner layer of flame-retardant silicone cloth 1-2, a middle layer of rubber cotton 1-1, and an outer layer of flame-retardant silicone cloth 1-2. The rubber cotton 1-1 wraps around the flame-retardant silicone cloth 1-2. Both the inner and outer surfaces of the box are made of flame-retardant silicone cloth, providing long-term effectiveness in terms of rainproofing, moisture resistance, and flame retardancy.

[0031] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the heating device 2 consists of a heating blanket 5 and a heater 6, which are connected by wires 7. The heater 6 includes a thermostat 8, wires 7, and lugs 9. A fuse 10 is installed on the wires 7. When the battery heating temperature exceeds the design temperature, the fuse will trip. The heating blanket 5 consists of an outer aluminum foil 5-1, a middle non-woven fabric 5-2, and an inner insulation cotton 5-3, providing flame retardancy, heat insulation, and heat preservation. Several wires 7 are distributed on the middle non-woven fabric 5-2. The wires 7 are electrically connected to the heater 6 and are heated by the heater to conduct heat to the heating blanket. Several temperature limiters 11 are installed on the wires 7 distributed on the middle non-woven fabric 5-2. The heater also contains a temperature sensor. When the temperature sensor detects that the temperature inside the box exceeds the set temperature, the temperature limiter will activate and stop heating the insulation box, maintaining it within the specified temperature range. When the heater malfunctions and cannot control the temperature, the temperature limiter can also cut off the heating to maintain the box temperature and protect the battery.

[0032] Working principle of this device: The battery protection box of this invention is mainly used for heat preservation of lithium batteries in photovoltaic energy storage power stations. In use, the lower box 4 is first laid on the ground, and the lithium batteries requiring heat preservation are placed on the lower box 4. Then, the lithium batteries are wrapped with a heating blanket 5. After wrapping, the upper box 3 and the lower box 4 are assembled into the heat preservation box 1 using Velcro 12. The lugs 9 on the heater 6 are connected to an external power supply. The temperature is set on the temperature controller 8 according to the heat preservation requirements, and then the power is turned on for heating and heat preservation. When the temperature inside the box reaches the set temperature, the heater 6 stops heating the heat preservation box. The box 1 and the heating blanket 5 provide heat preservation, keeping the lithium batteries inside the box warm and meeting the operating temperature requirements of the lithium batteries. If the temperature controller 8 malfunctions and cannot control the heating, the temperature limiter 11 will activate, controlling the temperature inside the box to not exceed the set temperature.
