Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery rack technology, and in particular to an energy storage battery rack structure. Background Technology

[0002] A battery storage rack structure is a support frame system used to install and fix energy storage batteries. It is usually made of metal materials and has the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance and stability. Its design needs to take into account the size, weight and arrangement of the batteries. Through reasonable shelf layout, fixing components and connection structure, the orderly installation and safe bearing of batteries can be achieved. At the same time, it must meet the functional requirements of heat dissipation, fire prevention, shock resistance and other functions to ensure that the energy storage system maintains stable operation during charging and discharging. Common structural forms include vertical, horizontal and drawer-type, etc., and can be customized in design and construction according to different application scenarios and energy storage scales.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN216698548U, which discloses a battery rack structure for household energy storage batteries. The structure includes: a frame comprising four uprights and several crossbars fixedly connected to the ends of adjacent uprights; a protrusion fixedly connected to the top of each upright; and a recessed cavity at the bottom of each upright that mates with the protrusion. A horizontally positioned support plate is fixedly connected within the frame. A connecting shaft is fixedly connected between two uprights, and a connecting plate flush with and corresponding to the support plate is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft. This invention addresses a technical problem with certain safety risks by securing the battery at the baffle, preventing battery slippage and damage, improving safety, and providing convenience and practicality.

[0004] The above-mentioned technology lacks secondary protection design. Without secondary protection design, the rotating connection between the connecting plate and the connecting shaft may wear due to frequent use, resulting in an increased fit clearance. At this time, the stability of the baffle is further reduced, and it may even rotate on its own under the action of gravity, causing the battery support to fail. Each installation and disassembly requires repeated manual operation, which is cumbersome. Especially in batch operation or emergency maintenance scenarios, it takes a long time, affects work efficiency, and is prone to operator fatigue and occupational injury. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy storage battery rack structure that addresses the lack of a self-locking secondary protection design in the aforementioned technologies. Without a self-locking design, the rotating connection between the connecting plate and the connecting shaft may wear down due to frequent use, leading to an increased clearance. This further reduces the stability of the baffle, which may even rotate on its own under gravity, causing battery support failure. Each installation and disassembly requires repeated manual operation, making the process cumbersome, especially in batch operations or emergency maintenance scenarios, resulting in prolonged time consumption, reduced work efficiency, and increased operator fatigue and occupational injuries.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an energy storage battery rack structure, including a mounting base and a clamping member. The clamping member is disposed on the mounting base and includes a clamping plate, a support plate, a connecting shaft, a sliding block, a first support arm, and a second support arm. The clamping plate is disposed on one side of the mounting base for clamping and fixing both sides of the battery. The support plate is fixed to the lower surface of the mounting base. The connecting shaft is fixed to the lower surface of the mounting base. The sliding block is slidably disposed on the outside of the connecting shaft for vertical movement on the outside of the connecting shaft. The first support arm is rotatably disposed on the inner sides of both ends of the sliding block. The second support arm is rotatably disposed on the outer side of the end of the first support arm. The inner side of the end of the second support arm is connected to the outer side of one end of the clamping plate. The outer side of the middle part of the second support arm is connected to the inner side of the end of the mounting base.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a lifting cylinder is installed on the inner side of the bottom end of the support plate, and the outer side of the end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the lower surface of the sliding block.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a slide rail is mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base, and the slide rail is connected to the lower surface of the clamping plate via a slider.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, cooling fans are installed on the outer sides of both ends of the mounting base, and limit strips are fixedly provided on both sides of the cooling fans. The outer side of the limit strips is connected to the inner side of the bottom end of the clamping plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the mounting base is fixedly provided with multiple connecting strips.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting base is provided with a lifting leg, and one end of the lifting leg is connected to the outer side of one side of the first support arm.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, an anti-slip sleeve is fixedly provided on the outer side of the bottom end of the lifting leg.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the support plate is provided with casters.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] During use, automatic clamping is achieved through the linkage of the mechanical structure, eliminating the need for additional external force to maintain the clamping state. This effectively prevents the battery from loosening or falling off due to vibration or other factors during use, ensuring the stability and safety of battery installation. Simultaneously, the self-locking characteristic of the horizontal axis with no force component reduces wear between components, extending the device's lifespan. Operation is convenient; clamping and self-locking are completed simply by activating the lifting cylinder, enhancing user convenience and reliability. The linkage between the first support arm and the lifting leg converts the device's own weight into clamping power, enhancing clamping force without additional energy and making the battery more securely fixed, effectively coping with vibration and other working conditions. At the same time, the lifting leg lifts the device, reducing bottom friction. Combined with the gravity-converted pushing force, this improves clamping reliability and optimizes the stability and practicality of the device during use. Attached Figure Description

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an energy storage battery rack structure for securely clamping and positioning batteries, the specific idea of ​​which is as follows:

[0027] The energy storage battery rack structure includes a mounting base 1. In addition, the energy storage battery rack structure also includes a clamping component, which includes a clamping plate 2 disposed on one side of the mounting base 1. The clamping plate 2 is used to clamp and fix the battery on both sides. At the same time, when the mounting base 1 vibrates or shakes, the clamping plate 2 can still exert a continuous clamping force on the battery.

[0028] To achieve the clamping drive of the clamping plate 2, so as to clamp and move it from both sides of the clamping plate 2 towards the center, thereby realizing the clamping function of the battery, the clamping component also includes: a support plate 201 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting base 1, the support plate 201 is used to support the mounting base 1, and a connecting shaft 202 is also fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting base 1. The connecting shaft 202 is a rod-shaped structure, used to limit the sliding block 203 slidably connected to its outer side. The sliding block 203 moves vertically outside the connecting shaft 202. The inner sides of both ends of the sliding block 203 are rotatably connected to a first support arm 204, and the outer side of the end of the first support arm 204 is... A second support arm 205 is rotatably connected to the side, and the outer side of the middle part of the second support arm 205 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the end of the mounting base 1. A slide rail 207 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting base 1. The slide rail 207 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the clamping plate 2 through its slider structure, thereby increasing the smoothness of the clamping plate 2 sliding on the upper surface of the mounting base 1. The inner side of the end of the second support arm 205 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the end of the clamping plate 2. At the same time, a connecting shaft 202 is installed on the inner side of the bottom end of the support plate 201. The outer side of the end of the connecting shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sliding block 203, providing power for the vertical movement of the sliding block 203.

[0029] The mounting base 1 has two cooling fans 208 installed on its upper surface. Limiting strips 210 are fixedly connected to both sides of the cooling fans 208. The outer end of the limiting strip 210 is slidably connected to the inner bottom end of the clamping plate 2 to limit the insertion into the inner bottom end of the clamping plate 2. At the same time, a connecting strip 209 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the middle part of the mounting base 1. The connecting strip 209 is made of rubber and is used to support the bottom of the battery.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, when using the device, the user can place the battery on the upper surface of the connecting bar 209. At this time, the user activates the lifting cylinder 206, which drives the sliding block 203 to move vertically upward on the outside of the connecting shaft 202. While the sliding block 203 moves, it will drive the first support arm 204 on both inner sides to rotate, so that the first support arm 204 gradually rotates to a horizontal state. While the first support arm 204 rotates, it will drive the second support arm 205 on its outer end to rotate. The bottom end of the second support arm 205 rotates outward, and its top end clamps towards the center, thereby driving the two clamping plates 2 to move towards the center on the upper surface of the slide rail 207, thus clamping and fixing the battery on both sides. At this time, the sliding block 203 and the first support arm 204 are on the same horizontal axis, with no component force in the tilt direction, realizing the self-locking function of the device. At the same time, the cooling fan 208 can dissipate heat from the battery.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Please see Figures 2 to 4 This embodiment provides an energy storage battery rack structure for supporting the device, and its specific concept is as follows:

[0033] The energy storage battery rack structure includes a mounting base 1. In addition, the energy storage battery rack structure also includes a lifting leg 3 disposed below the mounting base 1. The lifting leg 3 is used to lift the device while it is being held by the clamping plate 2, so that the device is detached from the ground and the stability of the device is increased.

[0034] In addition, casters 301 are installed on the lower surface of the support plate 201 to drive the device to move. The outer top of the lifting leg 3 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the end of the first support arm 204. An anti-slip sleeve 302 is fixedly connected to the outer bottom of the lifting leg 3. The anti-slip sleeve 302 is made of rubber and is used to increase the friction between the lifting leg 3 and the ground.

[0035] It should be noted that the length of the lifting leg 3 is greater than the sum of the lengths of the support plate 201 and the caster 301.

[0036] In practice, the user can move the device by pushing it with casters 301, which increases the device's flexibility. When the user clamps the battery, the first support arm 204 gradually rotates. As the first support arm 204 rotates, it will drive the lifting leg 3 on its lower end to rotate to a certain extent. When the first support arm 204 rotates to a horizontal state, the lifting leg 3 rotates to a vertical state, thereby lifting the device. At the same time, the support of the lifting leg 3 on the end of the first support arm 204 can convert the weight of the device into an upward rotational force of the first support arm 204, which further increases the pushing force on the clamping plate 2 and makes the battery clamping more secure.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] Based on Example 1, when a user uses this energy storage battery rack structure, after placing the battery on the upper surface of the connecting bar 209, the lifting cylinder 206 is activated. The lifting cylinder 206 drives the sliding block 203 to move vertically upward outside the connecting shaft 202. When the sliding block 203 moves, it drives the first support arm 204 on both inner sides to rotate to a horizontal state. The first support arm 204 then drives the second support arm 205 on the outer side to rotate, so that the bottom end of the second support arm 205 clamps outward and the top end clamps inward. This, in turn, drives the two clamping plates 2 to move towards the center on the upper surface of the slide rail 207 to clamp and fix the two sides of the battery. At this time, the sliding... Block 203 and the first support arm 204 are on the same horizontal axis, achieving self-locking without tilting force. The advantage of this self-locking clamping and fixing design is that automatic clamping is achieved through the linkage of the mechanical structure, without the need for additional external force to maintain the clamping state. This effectively prevents the battery from loosening and falling off due to vibration and other factors during use, ensuring the stability and safety of battery installation. At the same time, the self-locking characteristic of no force component on the horizontal axis can reduce wear between components, extend the service life of the device, and is easy to operate. Clamping and self-locking can be completed by activating the lifting cylinder 206, improving the convenience and reliability of user use.

[0039] Based on Embodiment 2, the user can move the device using casters 301 to increase flexibility. When clamping the battery, the first support arm 204 rotates while simultaneously rotating the lifting leg 3 on its lower end. When the first support arm 204 rotates to a horizontal position, the lifting leg 3 rotates to a vertical position and lifts the device. The support of the lifting leg 3 on the end of the first support arm 204 converts the device's gravity into an upward rotational force on the first support arm 204, thereby increasing the pushing force on the clamping plate 2 and making the battery clamped more securely. The advantages of this design are that the casters 301 enable flexible movement of the device, facilitating installation and position adjustment; the linkage between the first support arm 204 and the lifting leg 3 converts the device's own gravity into clamping power, enhancing the clamping force without additional energy, making the battery more securely fixed, and effectively coping with vibration and other working conditions; at the same time, the lifting leg 3 lifting the device reduces bottom friction, and together with the gravity-converted pushing force, it improves clamping reliability and optimizes the stability and practicality of the device during use.
