Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shipbuilding, specifically relating to a battery drying box for new energy ships. Background Technology

[0002] In the operation of new energy ships, batteries, as the core energy components of the power system, control system, and auxiliary equipment, directly affect the ship's navigation safety and operational efficiency. Because ships are in the marine environment for extended periods, factors such as high humidity, salt spray corrosion, and condensation inside the hull can easily cause batteries to become damp. Damp batteries can experience problems such as electrode corrosion, increased internal resistance, and capacity decay, and in severe cases, even lead to short circuits and leaks. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly dry the batteries used in ships to ensure battery performance and lifespan.

[0003] Currently, battery drying equipment in the industry mainly falls into two categories: one is large drying chambers using vacuum electrothermal technology. This type of equipment creates a vacuum environment by evacuating the air inside the chamber, and then uses electric heating elements to achieve rapid evaporation of moisture, offering advantages such as high drying efficiency and thorough drying. However, due to the structural characteristics of vacuum electrothermal technology, this type of equipment is usually bulky and heavy, and requires a stable installation environment. During ship navigation, continuous turbulence and vibration can easily damage the vacuum sealing structure, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Furthermore, the equipment consumes a large amount of electrical energy, making it poorly compatible with the limited energy supply system of ships. In addition, its fixed installation method is difficult to adapt to the complex spatial layout of ship cabins. Therefore, it is not suitable for direct installation on ships and can only be used for battery drying operations in fixed shore-based locations, failing to meet the immediate drying needs of ships during navigation or while anchored.

[0004] Another type is the miniaturized battery drying box. Designed for portability, these devices typically employ simple heating or ventilation drying principles. They are relatively simple in structure and compact in size, allowing for flexible placement within the ship's hold. However, limited by size and power, the effective drying space of a small drying box is limited, accommodating only one small battery at a time for drying. For ships with a large number of battery packs, such as power lithium battery packs and emergency storage battery packs, multiple drying operations are required, resulting in excessively long overall drying times and extremely low efficiency. Especially when a ship needs to urgently replace or maintain multiple damp batteries, the inefficiency of small drying boxes directly impacts the ship's normal scheduling and operational progress, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of batch drying of ship batteries.

[0005] Therefore, existing battery drying equipment has obvious limitations: large vacuum electric heating drying chambers cannot be adapted to ship installation and use scenarios, while small drying chambers are inefficient due to limited single-batch processing capacity. Neither type of equipment can effectively solve the problem of efficient and convenient drying of marine batteries. The industry urgently needs a battery drying technology solution that can adapt to the ship environment and take into account both batch processing capacity and efficient drying performance.

[0010] And torsion springs at both ends acting on the blades and the cabinet respectively;

[0027] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 Enlarged view of a specific area;

[0028] The components include: cabinet 1, round hole 1a, limit block 1b, mounting base 1c, mounting base notch 1c1, fan 2, blade 3, rotating shaft 3a, plate 3b, flange 3c, flange notch 3c1, torsion spring 4, and battery 5. Detailed Implementation

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment includes a cabinet 1, a fan 2, blades 3, and a torsion spring 4.

[0030] The cabinet 1 has a cubic structure with an internal cavity. A door is located at the front of the cabinet 1, allowing the batteries 5 to be placed inside. In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 can accommodate two batteries 5 simultaneously. In other embodiments, the cabinet 1 can also accommodate three or more batteries 5 simultaneously.

[0031] The batteries are arranged in a straight line from left to right.

[0032] In this embodiment, two fans 2 are provided, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the cabinet 1. The fans 2 face the batteries 5 and can blow dry hot gas toward the batteries 5 in a line.

[0033] Battery 5 is typically a cubic structure with a wide face and a narrow face. In this embodiment, one wide face of battery 5 faces fan 2 to ensure a drying effect.

[0034] To ensure that the battery 5 is placed in the designated position, this embodiment includes a limiting block 1b on the bottom plate inside the cabinet 1 to restrict the movement of the battery 5. Specifically, three limiting blocks 1b are provided for each battery 5, which respectively abut against the back and the left and right sides of the battery 5. Thus, when placing the battery 5, it is only necessary to push the battery 5 into the cabinet 1 so that the three sides of the battery 5 abut against the three limiting blocks 1b respectively.

[0035] The blade 3 is located on the side between the two batteries 5, and the blade 3 can be rotatably installed inside the cabinet 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the blade 3 includes a rotating shaft 3a and a blade body 3b.

[0037] The rotating shaft 3a is vertically rotatable inside the cabinet 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, mounting bases 1c are provided on both the bottom plate and the top plate of the cabinet 1. The opposing surfaces of the two mounting bases 1c are provided with slots slightly larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 3a. The two ends of the rotating shaft 3a are respectively inserted into the slots, which can fix the rotating shaft 3a while not hindering the rotating shaft 3a from rotating around its axis.

[0038] For ease of installation, mounting base 1c is provided with through holes, and the bottom plate and top plate of cabinet 1 are provided with threaded holes corresponding to the through holes. Mounting base 1c can be detachably fixed to cabinet 1 by bolts.

[0039] The blade 3 is a long strip, and one of the long strip edges of the blade 3 is fixed on the rotating shaft 3a along the length direction of the rotating shaft 3a.

[0040] In this embodiment, blades 3 are provided on both sides of the space between the two batteries 5.

[0041] A torsion spring 4 is located at the end of the blade 3, and the two ends of the torsion spring 4 act on the blade 3 and the cabinet 1 respectively. Specifically, a flange 3c is provided on the rotating shaft 3a, and the flange 3c is located between the end of the rotating shaft 3a and the blade 3b. The torsion spring 4 is sleeved on the end of the rotating shaft 3a, one end of the torsion spring 4 is fixed to the flange 3c, and the other end of the torsion spring 4 is fixed to the mounting base 1c.

[0042] Furthermore, a flange notch 3c1 is provided on the side of flange 3c, and a mounting notch 1c1 is provided on the side of mounting base 1c. The two ends of torsion spring 4 are respectively secured to flange notch 3c1 and mounting notch 1c1.

[0043] In this embodiment, fan 2 blows dry hot gas into cabinet 1. Part of the dry hot gas directly hits a wide surface of battery 5, carrying away moisture. Another part of the dry hot gas flows through the narrow surface of battery 5 and hits blade 3. Under the action of airflow, blade 3 overcomes the torsion of torsion spring 4 and swings at a certain angle. Blade 3 can then be used as a guide plate to guide the dry hot gas into the gap between the two batteries 5. In this way, the dry hot gas can also pass through another wide surface of battery 5, so that the dry hot gas can act on the surface of battery 5 to the maximum extent, greatly improving the drying effect.

[0044] This embodiment features two fans 2. The alternating blowing of the two fans 2 causes the blades 3 to oscillate left and right, ensuring that the dry, hot gas makes full contact with the opposing surfaces of the two batteries 5, thus guaranteeing a balanced heat dissipation effect for both batteries 5. This embodiment can also adjust the oscillation angle of the blades 3 by controlling the size of the fans 2, thereby controlling the flow rate of the dry, hot gas within the gap between the two batteries 5.

[0045] In other embodiments, to save costs, only one fan 2 and one blade 3 may be provided.

[0046] Preferably, in this embodiment, the side of the cabinet 1 is provided with a round hole 1a, and the fan 2 blows towards the round hole 1a. The fan 2 can be separated from the cabinet 1 to avoid the vibration of the fan 2 when it rotates affecting the battery 5.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
