Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of container assembly technology, specifically a support component for assembling a liquid-cooled energy storage container. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid-cooled energy storage containers are advanced energy storage solutions that integrate battery energy storage systems (BESS) into a standard container and use liquid as a cooling medium for thermal management. The container is protected by multiple panels.

[0003] For example, the patent application number published on the China Patent Network is 202123058897.8, and the patent title is: A modular assembly dry cargo container, comprising a bottom panel, two side panels, two end panels, and a top panel. The container described in this utility model can be manufactured and transported in sections, and then assembled at the sales destination. Through optimized design of the bottom panel, end panels, side panels, and top panel structure, each section can be positioned relative to each other during assembly. After assembly, spot welding is performed, and after overall spot welding, all butt joints are fully welded. Due to the interconnection and constraint between the sections during welding, welding deformation will not occur, enabling on-site welding. This solves the technical problem of high container transportation costs and reduces logistics costs for manufacturers and users.

[0004] However, the length of the external side panels of the existing energy storage container is too long. During the assembly process, users need to ensure the perpendicularity between the side panels and the bottom plate (1). Direct splicing can easily cause the side panels to tilt, affecting the connection effect of the subsequent panels.

[0005] Therefore, the support components used for assembling liquid-cooled energy storage containers need to be redesigned and modified. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a support component for assembling a liquid-cooled energy storage container, which has the advantage of supporting and positioning the side panels. This solves the problem that the length of the external side panels of existing energy storage containers is too long, and users need to ensure the perpendicularity between the side panels and the bottom plate (1) during the assembly process. Direct splicing can easily cause the side panels to tilt, affecting the connection effect of subsequent panels.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a support component for assembling a liquid-cooled energy storage container, including a base plate;

[0008] Side plates that are vertically mounted on both sides of the base plate;

[0009] The top of the base plate is provided with a connecting frame, and each of the four corners of the connecting frame is fixedly connected with a connecting block. The bottom of the connecting block is movably connected with a pawl via a pin. The side of the pawl away from the connecting block extends to the outside of the side plate and contacts the surface of the side plate. The top of the connecting frame is provided with a transmission structure, which can control the swing intensity of the pawl and squeeze and fix the side plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the transmission structure includes a bidirectional cylinder fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame, a transmission block fixedly connected to the output end of the bidirectional cylinder, a force-bearing plate fixedly connected to the top of the pawl located at the top of the connecting block, and push rods fixedly connected to both ends of the outer side of the transmission block. The push rod extends to the inner side of the force-bearing plate from the side away from the transmission block and slides in connection with the force-bearing plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a movable block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting frame, and a bracket is movably connected to the surface of the movable block via a pin. The bracket can swing around the pin on the surface of the movable block as an axis and lift and support the base plate.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, both ends of the bracket are fixedly connected to extension rods, and the outer side of the transmission block contacts the inner side of the extension rods. As the transmission block moves outward, it can squeeze the extension rods to make the bracket swing.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a rubber strip is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transmission block, and the outer surface of the rubber strip is in contact with the surface of the extension rod.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the side of the bracket away from the movable block is movably connected to a roller via a pin. The roller can support the base plate and control the displacement of the base plate through rolling force.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides an integrated support structure that effectively solves the tilting problem caused by its own weight or improper operation during the assembly of long side plates. By setting a connecting frame and connecting block on the base plate, a stable installation benchmark is constructed. The claws connected by pins give it a swingable characteristic. The design of the claws extending to the outside of the side plate enables it to reliably fix the side plate.

[0017] 2. This utility model provides an efficient, reliable and easy-to-implement mechanical transmission solution that accurately converts the linear motion of the cylinder into the swinging clamping action of the chuck. The bidirectional cylinder serves as a power source, providing a stable and controllable pushing and pulling force to drive the clamping and releasing process.

[0018] 3. This utility model expands the function of the support component, enabling it not only to fix the side plate, but also to simultaneously lift and support the container floor, providing convenience for floor positioning or adjustment. The bracket design with the movable block and pin shaft connection provides a simple and reliable swing fulcrum, while the swingable bracket gives the support component the ability to lift the floor.

[0019] 4. This utility model realizes the two key functions of simultaneously driving the clamping side plate and lifting the bottom plate with a single power source, which greatly simplifies the structure and operation process. Moreover, the extension rod acts as the force transmission medium between the bracket and the transmission block. When the transmission block moves outward due to the cylinder to perform the clamping action, its outer side synchronously and automatically squeezes the extension rod, forcing the bracket to swing upward and lift the bottom plate.

[0020] 5. This utility model optimizes the contact performance between the transmission block and the extension rod, improving the smoothness, stability and durability of the linkage process. The rubber strip on the outside of the transmission block increases the friction coefficient of the contact surface, preventing slippage during the extrusion process and ensuring effective force transmission.

[0021] 6. This utility model greatly facilitates the fine adjustment of the horizontal position of the base plate in the supported state, improves the flexibility and precision of assembly, and the rollers installed at the end of the bracket change the contact between the bracket and the base plate from sliding friction to rolling friction, providing convenient movement.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a support component for assembling a liquid-cooled energy storage container, including a base plate 1;

[0029] Side plates 2 are vertically arranged on both sides of the base plate 1;

[0030] A connecting frame 3 is provided on the top of the base plate 1. Connecting blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the connecting frame 3. A claw 5 is movably connected to the bottom of the connecting block 4 through a pin. The side of the claw 5 away from the connecting block 4 extends to the outside of the side plate 2 and contacts the surface of the side plate 2. A transmission structure 6 is provided on the top of the connecting frame 3. The transmission structure 6 can control the swing intensity of the claw 5 and squeeze and fix the side plate 2.

[0031] refer to Figure 2 The transmission structure 6 includes a bidirectional cylinder 7 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 3. The output end of the bidirectional cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to a transmission block 8. The top of the pawl 5 is fixedly connected to a force plate 9 located on the top of the connecting block 4. Push rods 10 are fixedly connected to both ends of the outer side of the transmission block 8. The side of the push rod 10 away from the transmission block 8 extends to the inner side of the force plate 9 and slides in connection with the force plate 9.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an efficient, reliable and easy-to-implement mechanical transmission scheme is provided, which accurately converts the linear motion of the cylinder into the swing clamping action of the chuck 5. The bidirectional cylinder 7 serves as a power source, providing a stable and controllable pushing and pulling force to drive the clamping and releasing process.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 A movable block 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting frame 3. A bracket 12 is movably connected to the surface of the movable block 11 via a pin. The bracket 12 can swing around the pin on the surface of the movable block 11 as the axis and lift and support the base plate 1.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the function of the support member is expanded so that it can not only fix the side plate 2, but also simultaneously lift and support the container bottom plate 1, providing convenience for positioning or adjustment of the bottom plate 1. The design of the bracket 12 connected to the movable block 11 and the pin shaft provides a simple and reliable swing fulcrum. At the same time, the swing bracket 12 gives the support member the ability to lift the bottom plate 1.

[0035] refer to Figure 4Both ends of the bracket 12 are fixedly connected to extension rods 13. The outer side of the transmission block 8 contacts the inner side of the extension rod 13. When the transmission block 8 moves outward, it can squeeze the extension rod 13 to make it swing with the bracket 12.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, it realizes the two key functions of simultaneously driving the clamping side plate 2 and lifting the bottom plate 1 by a single power source, which greatly simplifies the structure and operation process. Moreover, the extension rod 13 serves as the force transmission medium between the bracket 12 and the transmission block 8. When the transmission block 8 moves outward due to the cylinder to perform the clamping action, its outer side synchronously and automatically squeezes the extension rod 13, forcing the bracket 12 to swing upward and lift the bottom plate 1.

[0037] refer to Figure 4 A rubber strip 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transmission block 8, and the outer surface of the rubber strip 14 is in contact with the surface of the extension rod 13.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the contact performance between the transmission block 8 and the extension rod 13 is optimized, improving the smoothness, stability and durability of the linkage process. The rubber strip 14 on the outside of the transmission block 8 increases the friction coefficient of the contact surface, preventing slippage during the squeezing process and ensuring effective force transmission.

[0039] refer to Figure 4 The bracket 12 is connected to a roller 15 on the side away from the movable block 11 via a pin. The roller 15 can support the base plate 1 and control the displacement of the base plate 1 by rolling force.

[0040] As a technical optimization of this utility model, it greatly facilitates the fine adjustment of the horizontal position of the base plate 1 in the supported state, improves the flexibility and accuracy of assembly, and the roller 15 installed at the end of the bracket 12 changes the contact between the bracket 12 and the base plate 1 from sliding friction to rolling friction, providing convenient movement.

[0041] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: The user places the long outer side plate 2 of the energy storage container vertically on the predetermined positions on both sides of the base plate 1. The user then activates the bidirectional cylinder 7 fixed at the top of the connecting frame 3. The output end of the cylinder drives the transmission block 8 to move outward. When the transmission block 8 moves outward, the push rods 10 fixed on both sides of it also move outward. The push rods 10 insert into and slide on the inner side of the force plate 9. Since the force plate 9 is fixed at the top of the claw 5, the push rods 10 push the force plate 9 outward, forcing the force plate 9 to drive the claw 5 to swing with its pivot point at the bottom of the connecting block 4. This causes the end of the claw 5 away from the connecting block 4 to swing inward, thereby making close contact with and pressing the surface of the fixed side plate 2, ensuring that the side plate 2 remains perpendicular to the base plate 1. At the same time, when the transmission block 8 moves outward, its outer surface contacts and compresses the inner surface of the extension rods 13 fixed at both ends of the bracket 12. This squeezing force pushes the extension rod 13, causing the entire bracket 12 to swing upward around the pin connecting it to the movable block 11 on the outside of the connecting frame 3. When the bracket 12 swings upward, the end away from the movable block 11 is lifted. The roller 15 at the end of the bracket 12 contacts and supports the bottom plate 1 of the container, raising it to the required height or providing support. By driving the transmission block 8 outward through the bidirectional cylinder 7, the support simultaneously achieves two key functions: first, by swinging and squeezing inward through the claw 5, it firmly clamps and fixes the side plate 2, preventing the long side plate 2 from tilting during assembly and ensuring its perpendicularity to the bottom plate 1; second, by squeezing the extension rod 13 through the transmission block 8, it drives the bracket 12 to swing upward, using the roller 15 at its end to lift and support the bottom plate 1. With the bracket 12 supporting the bottom plate 1, it is convenient for the user to connect the bottom plate 1 and the side plate 2 using the threaded assembly.

[0042] In summary, this support component for assembling a liquid-cooled energy storage container provides an integrated support structure that effectively solves the tilting problem caused by the weight of the long side plate 2 during assembly or improper operation. By setting a connecting frame 3 and a connecting block 4 on the bottom plate 1, a stable installation benchmark is constructed. The claws 5 connected by pins give it a swingable characteristic, and the design of the claws 5 extending to the outside of the side plate 2 enables it to reliably fix the side plate 2.
