Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container battery module technology, and in particular to a high-capacity container battery module with integrated air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern energy storage systems and power energy management, high-container battery modules are widely used in new energy storage, backup power and other scenarios due to their high integration and ease of transportation and installation.

[0003] However, battery modules generate a lot of heat during charging and discharging. If heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, it will not only affect the charging and discharging efficiency and lifespan of the battery, but may also cause safety hazards such as thermal runaway due to excessively high local temperatures.

[0004] Currently, integrated air conditioning systems use a central air conditioning system for cooling the container battery modules. This overall cooling approach cannot precisely cool the batteries in specific areas where they are heating up. As a result, the air conditioning system needs to run at full power continuously, which not only increases energy consumption but also reduces the cooling efficiency for critical areas due to the excessively large cooling range. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a high-container battery module with integrated air conditioning that can overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A high-capacity containerized battery module with integrated air conditioning includes: a container body and a control box, the control box being disposed within the container body; multiple battery boxes disposed within the container body, each battery box containing a battery body; an outdoor air conditioning unit fixedly disposed on one side of the container body; an indoor air conditioning unit disposed within the battery boxes, the indoor unit being located on the upper wall of the battery box cavity, a cooling pipe being disposed between the indoor and outdoor units; a shielding door disposed on one side of the battery box; and a temperature sensor disposed within the battery box.

[0008] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected inside the battery box, a storage cavity is provided on the lower side of the baffle, a cooling cavity is provided on the upper side of the baffle, and the indoor unit of the air conditioner is installed in the cooling cavity. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the baffle.

[0009] To facilitate the scheduling of cooling and achieve precise and efficient local heat dissipation, preferably, a flow control valve is provided at the lower end of the connecting pipe, a scheduling pipe is provided between the multiple cooling chambers, a connecting pipe is provided between the scheduling pipe and the connecting pipe, and a solenoid valve is provided inside the connecting pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, a flow equalization plate is provided on the lower side of the baffle, and the flow equalization plate is provided with multiple vent holes.

[0011] Preferably, a cold storage plate is provided on the lower side of the baffle, and the cold storage plate is provided with a plurality of mesh holes.

[0012] To facilitate gas flow equalization, the cold storage plate is further disposed between the flow equalization plate and the baffle, and a connecting cavity is provided inside the cold storage plate, with the mesh on the upper side of the connecting cavity and the mesh on the lower side of the connecting cavity being staggered.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a high-container battery module with integrated air conditioning, which has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This high-container battery module with integrated air conditioning uses multiple battery boxes to house multiple battery units. When one battery unit heats up, a temperature sensor detects this and the control box can activate the indoor unit of the air conditioner in the battery box containing that battery unit to cool it down. At the same time, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is also activated. This targeted cooling improves the cooling efficiency of the battery unit and reduces its energy consumption, preventing increased power consumption caused by cooling the entire area.

[0015] 2. This high-container battery module, which uses an integrated air conditioning system, controls other indoor air conditioning units to start via a control box. If other indoor air conditioning units are already on, there is no need to restart them. After starting, the temperature sensor detects the temperature inside each battery compartment. The control box controls the flow control valve in the connecting pipe of the battery compartment with the lowest temperature to reduce or close the opening. At the same time, it opens the corresponding solenoid valve and the solenoid valve in the battery compartment that needs to be cooled down quickly. This enables the scheduling of cold air and allows for faster cooling of small spaces, thus effectively improving the cooling efficiency and reducing safety hazards.

[0016] 3. This high-container battery module for integrated air conditioning uses cold air blown out by the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The cold air flows downward through the connecting pipe and then flows out through multiple mesh holes on the cold storage plate. At the same time, it passes through the flow equalization plate for even distribution. The cold storage plate can store a portion of the cold energy. When accelerated cooling is needed, the airflow speed of the indoor unit can be increased within the allowable range to achieve rapid cooling. If a higher airflow speed and a higher cooling effect are used directly, the compressor power in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, using cold storage to achieve rapid cooling in a short time is extremely effective.

[0017] The parts of this device not covered are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. By performing targeted cooling, this utility model can improve the cooling efficiency of the battery body and reduce its energy consumption, preventing the increase in power consumption caused by cooling the entire area, while effectively reducing safety hazards during the use of the battery module.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-6A high-capacity containerized battery module with integrated air conditioning includes: a container body 1 and a control box, the control box being disposed inside the container body 1. The module is characterized by further including: multiple battery boxes 2 disposed inside the container body 1, each battery box 2 containing a battery body 204; an outdoor air conditioning unit 101 fixedly disposed on one side of the container body 1; an indoor air conditioning unit 103 disposed inside the battery box 2, with the indoor unit 103 located on the upper wall of the battery box 2 cavity, and a cooling pipe 102 disposed between the indoor unit 103 and the outdoor unit 101; a shielding door 201 disposed on one side of the battery box 2; and a temperature sensor 205 disposed inside the battery box 2.

[0027] During the use of the container battery module, the multiple battery bodies 204 in the battery module will heat up during charging and discharging. Multiple battery boxes 2 are set up to house the multiple battery bodies 204 respectively. When one of the battery bodies 204 heats up, it is detected by the temperature sensor 205. At this time, the control box can control the indoor unit 103 of the air conditioner in the battery box 2 where the current battery body 204 is located to turn on to achieve cooling. At the same time, the outdoor unit 101 of the air conditioner is turned on. By carrying out targeted cooling, the cooling efficiency of the battery body 204 can be improved on the one hand, and its energy consumption can be reduced on the other hand, preventing the power consumption from increasing due to cooling of the entire area.

[0028] Example 2: Refer to Figures 1-6 A high-container battery module with integrated air conditioning is basically the same as in Embodiment 1. Further, a baffle 206 is fixedly connected inside the battery box 2. A storage cavity 202 is provided on the lower side of the baffle 206, and a cooling cavity 203 is provided on the upper side of the baffle 206. The air conditioning indoor unit 103 is located in the cooling cavity 203. A connecting pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the baffle 206.

[0029] A flow control valve 208 is provided at the lower end of the connecting pipe 207, a regulating pipe 209 is provided between multiple refrigeration chambers 203, a connecting pipe 210 is provided between the regulating pipe 209 and the connecting pipe 207, and a solenoid valve 211 is provided inside the connecting pipe 210.

[0030] In actual use, one of the battery cells 204 may heat up too quickly and require concentrated cooling. When its internal temperature exceeds a specified value, the temperature sensor 205 detects that the temperature has exceeded the specified value. At this time, the control box controls the other air conditioning indoor units 103 to also turn on. If the other air conditioning indoor units 103 are already on, there is no need to turn them on again. After turning on, the temperature sensor 205 detects the temperature inside each battery cell 2. The control box controls the flow control valve 208 in the connecting pipe 207 of the lowest temperature battery cell 2 to reduce or close the opening. At the same time, it opens the corresponding solenoid valve 211 and the solenoid valve 211 in the battery cell 2 that needs to be cooled down quickly. This enables the scheduling of cold air and the rapid cooling of small spaces, thereby effectively improving the cooling efficiency and reducing safety hazards.

[0031] Example 3: Reference Figures 1-6 A high-container battery module with integrated air conditioning is basically the same as in Embodiment 1. Furthermore, a flow equalization plate 3 is provided on the lower side of the baffle 206, and a plurality of ventilation holes 301 are provided on the flow equalization plate 3.

[0032] A cold storage plate 4 is provided on the lower side of the baffle 206, and a plurality of mesh holes 401 are provided on the cold storage plate 4.

[0033] The cold storage plate 4 is disposed between the flow equalization plate 3 and the baffle 206, and a connecting cavity 402 is provided inside the cold storage plate 4. The mesh 401 on the upper side of the connecting cavity 402 and the mesh 401 on the lower side of the connecting cavity 402 are arranged alternately.

[0034] During use, the cold air blown out by the indoor unit 103 of the air conditioner flows downward through the connecting pipe 207. At this time, the gas flows out through multiple mesh holes 401 on the cold storage plate 4 and is evenly distributed through the flow equalization plate 3. The cold storage plate 4 can store a portion of the cold energy. When it is necessary to accelerate cooling, the air speed of the indoor unit 103 of the air conditioner can be increased within the allowable range, thereby achieving rapid cooling. If a higher air speed and a higher cooling effect are used directly, the compressor power in the outdoor unit 101 of the air conditioner cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, using cold storage to achieve rapid cooling in a short time is extremely effective.

[0035] If the temperature of the battery body 204 exceeds the specified range, the controller in the control box will transmit a high temperature signal to the management terminal to remind the staff to quickly inspect and disconnect the power.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
