Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a battery switching device. Background Technology

[0002] For wind farms operating with a single battery bank connected to a DC system, the battery verification charge-discharge test requires disconnecting the currently operating battery bank and then connecting the backup battery bank to the system. This process takes approximately 30 minutes. If the AC power is lost within these 30 minutes, the entire DC power supply will be lost, and the relay protection devices will fail to operate, with potentially disastrous consequences. The same problem exists when the battery bank is reconnected to the DC system after the charge-discharge test is completed. Utility Model Content

[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only preferred embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a battery switching device provided by this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The listed embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Reference Figure 1This utility model provides a battery switching device, including a working battery pack and a standby battery pack, as well as a switching module and a control module. The switching module includes a switching box, a first circuit breaker, and a second circuit breaker. The switching box includes a base and a cover plate. The cover plate is disposed on the base and rotatably connected to the base. The first circuit breaker and the second circuit breaker are both disposed inside the base. The working battery pack is connected to the main circuit through the first circuit breaker inside the base, and the standby battery pack is connected to the main circuit through the second circuit breaker inside the base. Both the first circuit breaker and the second circuit breaker are electrically connected to the control module.

[0021] For example, the working battery pack and the standby battery pack are connected to the main circuit via a first circuit breaker and a second circuit breaker, respectively, and the power supply of the working battery pack and the standby battery pack is switched by controlling the first circuit breaker and the second circuit breaker through a control module.

[0022] The base is equipped with a working battery pack terminal, a spare battery pack terminal, and a main circuit terminal. The working battery pack terminal is electrically connected to the first circuit breaker, and the spare battery pack terminal is electrically connected to the second circuit breaker. Both the first and second circuit breakers are electrically connected to the main circuit terminal.

[0023] The switching box has a wire port at the contact point between the base and the cover plate, and waterproof rubber strips are provided at both the contact point between the base and the cover plate and on the wire port.

[0024] For example, when connecting the wiring, first open the cover, and then connect the working battery pack, the backup battery pack, and the main circuit by inserting wires through the wire openings into the base, and finally connect the wires to the corresponding terminals. Finally, close the cover. The waterproof rubber strips between the cover and the base, as well as the waterproof rubber strips on the wire openings, will prevent rainwater from entering the base.

[0025] Diodes are installed between the working battery bank terminals and the first circuit breaker, as well as between the standby battery bank and the second circuit breaker.

[0026] For example, setting up a diode can protect the circuit from damage caused by a short circuit.

[0031] The main circuit has a third voltmeter installed between the first circuit breaker and the second circuit breaker, and the third voltmeter is electrically connected to the control module.

[0032] The first voltmeter, the second voltmeter, and the third voltmeter are all mounted on the cover plate.

[0033] For example, the control module determines the switching between the working battery pack and the standby battery pack by measuring the values ​​of the first voltmeter, the second voltmeter and the third voltmeter.

[0034] The cover plate is also equipped with LED lights and a buzzer, both of which are electrically connected to the control module.

[0035] For example, when the values ​​measured by the first, second, and third voltmeters are abnormal, the control module controls the LED lights and buzzers to be activated to alert the staff.
