Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat dissipation cabinet technology, specifically relating to an electric energy storage device with heat dissipation function. Background Technology
[0002] During the charging and discharging process, the energy storage modules inside a power storage device generate a significant amount of heat. If this heat cannot be dissipated effectively and promptly, the internal temperature of the device will continue to rise, leading to a series of serious problems, including but not limited to performance degradation of the energy storage modules, shortened cycle life, reduced charging and discharging efficiency, and in extreme cases, even thermal runaway, causing a safety accident. Therefore, an efficient and reliable heat dissipation design is crucial to ensuring the safe, stable, and long-term operation of power storage devices.
[0003] In existing technologies, to enhance the heat dissipation capacity of heat sinks, a common approach is to create fixed ventilation holes or louvers on the side walls, top, or bottom of the cabinet. These ventilation holes are typically kept open, allowing natural air convection or forced ventilation via fans to remove heat.
[0004] Normally open ventilation holes can harbor dust, impurities, and even moisture, especially outdoors or in humid environments, as they provide a pathway for these substances to enter the cabinet. Dust buildup can clog air ducts and cover the surfaces of heat-generating components, severely degrading heat dissipation. Moisture intrusion can cause electrical short circuits, corrosion, and other problems, threatening equipment safety.
[0005] Therefore, a heat dissipation mechanism with actively controllable opening and closing is needed, which can fully open the ventilation channel when a large heat dissipation capacity is required, and close or reduce the opening when the heat dissipation demand is low or the external environment is harsh, such as sandstorms, rain, or snow. This will significantly improve the dustproof and waterproof capabilities of the device while ensuring heat dissipation efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an electric energy storage device with heat dissipation function.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a power energy storage device with heat dissipation function, comprising: a heat dissipation cabinet, and an energy storage module disposed inside the heat dissipation cabinet.
[0008] The power connection module, which is located on the back of the heat dissipation cabinet and connected to the energy storage module, is located on the cabinet door on the front of the heat dissipation cabinet.
[0009] The heat dissipation cabinet has a first heat dissipation mechanism on both side walls and a second heat dissipation mechanism on the top.
[0010] The bottom four corners of the heat sink are equipped with air intake fans; the first heat dissipation mechanism includes: a plurality of heat dissipation slots vertically distributed on the two side walls of the heat sink; a cover plate hinged to the heat dissipation slots; and an opening and closing control mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of the cover plate to cover or open the heat dissipation slots.
[0011] Furthermore, mounting rings are provided on both sides above the heat dissipation groove, and a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting ring, with the cover plate fixed to the side of the rotating shaft.
[0012] Furthermore, the opening and closing control mechanism includes:
[0013] A circular ring is disposed on the cover plate and located on the other side of the rotating shaft;
[0014] Pull the rope through the rings of each layer of the cover plate from bottom to top;
[0015] A metal ball is disposed on the pull rope, the diameter of the metal ball being larger than the inner diameter of the ring, and one metal ball is disposed on the pull rope below each ring;
[0016] The upper end of the pull rope passes through the top of the heat sink and is connected to the drive mechanism.
[0017] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes: a geared motor disposed on the top of the heat sink, an encoder disposed on the output shaft of the geared motor, and a winding wheel connected to the output shaft and used for winding the pull rope.
[0018] Furthermore, the second heat dissipation mechanism includes:
[0019] A heat dissipation hole array is disposed at the top of the heat dissipation cabinet;
[0020] Slides are provided on both sides of the heat dissipation hole array;
[0021] A perforated plate is horizontally slidably disposed between the grooves, and the holes of the perforated plate can be aligned with the holes of the heat dissipation hole array to form through holes or be misaligned and closed.
[0022] A support plate is mounted above the slide groove;
[0023] An electric push rod is mounted on the support plate, and the piston rod of the electric push rod is connected to the grid plate via a connecting block.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0025] 1. This utility model can precisely control the effective ventilation area on both sides and top of the heat dissipation cabinet by controlling the opening and closing angle of the cover plate of the first heat dissipation mechanism and the alignment degree of the grid plate of the second heat dissipation mechanism. This allows the device to dynamically adjust the heat dissipation intensity according to the real-time heat generation of the internal energy storage module and the external ambient temperature: under high load and high temperature environments, the opening degree is increased to provide maximum ventilation, ensuring that heat is dissipated in time, effectively preventing the equipment from overheating, protecting the energy storage module, and extending its service life.
[0026] In low-load, low-temperature environments, reducing or closing the opening significantly reduces unnecessary heat loss and prevents the cabinet temperature from becoming too low. This is especially beneficial for temperature-sensitive batteries such as lithium-ion batteries, improving overall energy efficiency and helping to maintain the battery within a better operating temperature range, further enhancing its performance and lifespan.
[0027] 2. When heat dissipation requirements are low or the external environment is harsh, such as sandstorms, rain, snow, high humidity, or salt spray, the heat dissipation vent cover can be closed, and the top perforated plate can be adjusted to a completely offset and sealed state. This completely blocks dust, moisture, rainwater, debris, etc., from entering the cabinet through the heat dissipation holes. Even when partial heat dissipation is required, the opening size can be controlled to ensure basic heat dissipation while significantly reducing the intrusion of harmful substances.
