Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of new energy storage equipment manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a waterproof structure for energy storage stacked battery packs. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the energy storage industry, stacked batteries are often installed on balconies or under eaves to free up indoor space. While these products need to be waterproof, rain protection is usually sufficient. However, conventional designs require fully welded and glued sheet metal enclosures, and additional sealing rings are needed for the enclosure and cover to achieve waterproofing. This approach is cumbersome and costly in terms of production and assembly; it also relies heavily on manual labor, resulting in poor waterproofing stability. In the increasingly competitive energy storage industry, traditional stacking designs cannot meet the industry's cost reduction needs. Utility Model Content

[0003] A waterproof structure for an energy storage stacked battery pack includes a base, at least one battery box, and a top box. The base and the battery box, adjacent battery boxes, and the battery box and the top box are all connected by a concave-convex fit structure. The bottom edge of the battery box is provided with a drainage structure.

[0004] Preferably, the concave-convex mating structure includes: a first protrusion on the upper surface of the base, a first groove on the lower surface of the battery box, a second protrusion on the upper surface of the battery box, and a second groove on the lower surface of the top box.

[0005] Preferably, the inner ring of the first groove of the battery box is provided with a sealing ring, which engages with the second protrusion in the first groove.

[0006] Preferably, silicone sheets are provided between the base and the battery box, between adjacent battery boxes, and between the battery box and the top box.

[0007] Preferably, the first groove forms a water channel with the side of the battery box, and the water channel has a conical drainage hole.

[0008] Preferably, the upper surface of the top box is a 5-10° inclined surface and is provided with a superhydrophobic coating.

[0009] Preferably, the mating clearance of the concave-convex mating structure is 0.2-0.5mm, and the protrusion height is 8-15mm.

[0010] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this solution are that it eliminates the complex full welding process and the extensive grinding and internal gluing steps required for sheet metal chassis production, significantly reducing labor costs and instability caused by manual operation. This invention effectively utilizes structural design to achieve waterproofing and drainage functions, while the sheet metal can be formed through bending and small-scale welding. It reduces costs while avoiding the environmental benefits of using industrial adhesives and ensuring overall waterproof stability. Furthermore, the black silicone sheets installed between each battery compartment not only provide waterproofing but also, through their superior ductility, prevent insufficient flatness of the sheet metal chassis, achieving an effect similar to decorative lines.

The first groove 22 at the bottom of the battery box 2 is pressed down vertically to nest the second protrusion of the lower battery box. A sealing ring 23 is embedded in the first groove 22. The first groove and the sealing ring are fitted together with the lower second protrusion, and the sealing ring is compressed to generate radial expansion force and axial compression force when pressed down. The bottom of the side wall of the battery box 2 forms a water channel with the side wall. A conical drainage hole 24 is opened at the corner of the water channel to drain the seepage water. The annular protrusion 21 at the top of the upper battery box 2 is embedded in the groove 22 of the lower battery box. A silicone sheet is added between adjacent layers. The adjacent battery boxes 2 ensure that the fitting gap of the concave and convex structure is 0.3mm. The silicone sheet is evenly filled at the edge of the contact surface to compensate for the sheet metal flatness error of ±0.2mm.

[0020] Preferably, the upper surface of the top box 3 is a 5-10° inclined surface, and the surface is provided with a superhydrophobic coating.

[0021] Preferably, the mating clearance of the concave-convex mating structure is 0.2-0.5mm, and the protrusion height is 8-15mm.
