Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular to a protective component and an energy storage device. Background Technology
[0002] Portable energy storage devices are mostly used in outdoor excursions, outdoor emergencies, travel charging, and outdoor fishing. For general applications, they generally cannot achieve the "three-proof" rating of waterproof, fireproof, and dustproof. As outdoor portable energy storage faces increasing challenges in adapting to various complex environments and coping with special environmental conditions, customers' demands for more stringent three-proof features are also increasing.
[0003] To adapt to more demanding, complex, and unpredictable usage scenarios, portable energy storage devices with rugged, dustproof, and waterproof features are becoming increasingly important. To provide customers with a better user experience, various types of rugged products are emerging. Ordinary rugged portable energy storage devices first apply a conformal coating to internal electrical contact areas, while the outer shell incorporates basic waterproofing features and uses high-fire-resistant materials. While these portable energy storage devices offer waterproofing and fireproofing, they are costly to manufacture and involve complex processes. Different types of portable energy storage devices require specific processing to achieve the desired waterproof, fireproof, and dustproof properties, making the process intricate.

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This application provides a protective component 100 for protecting an energy storage device 200. The protective component 100 is made of fire-resistant, dust-proof, and / or waterproof material. The interior of the protective component 100 is hollow, and one side of the protective component 100 has an opening 101 through which the energy storage device 200 is enclosed. A fixing structure 10 is provided inside the protective component 100 to fix the energy storage device 200 and suspend it within the protective component 100.
[0027] Specifically, the length and width of the opening 101 need to be greater than the length and width of the energy storage device 200, so that the protective component 100 of this application can cover the energy storage device 200 from above through the opening 101, thereby playing a protective role.
[0028] Understandably, such as Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, one side of the protective member 100 can be fully open, that is, the entire side is missing to form an opening 101. Alternatively, one side of the protective member 100 can be partially open, that is, the opening 101 is a partial missing area of a certain side of the protective member 100.
[0029] The fixing structure 10 is used to fix the energy storage device 200 and suspend it inside the protective component 100. That is, when the energy storage device 200 is fitted into the internal space of the protective component 100, the fixing structure 10 can firmly fix the energy storage device 200 and make the bottom surface of the energy storage device 200 a certain distance away from the bottom end of the protective component 100, thus suspending it inside the protective component 100. This allows the energy storage device 200 to be protected by the protective component 100 on all sides, bottom and top, providing a more comprehensive waterproof and dustproof protection.
[0030] The protective component 100 is made of fireproof, dustproof and / or waterproof material, and may include the following situations: (1) the protective component 100 may be made of fireproof material only; (2) the protective component 100 may be made of dustproof material only; (3) the protective component 100 may be made of waterproof material only; (4) the protective component 100 may be made of fireproof and dustproof material; (5) the protective component 100 may be made of waterproof and dustproof material; (6) the protective component 100 may be made of fireproof, waterproof and dustproof material.
[0031] The protective component 100 is made of fireproof, dustproof, and waterproof materials, thus providing three-fold protection. For example, the protective component 100 can be made of glass.
[0032] Thus, the protective component 100 of this application is made of fireproof, dustproof and / or waterproof material, which can cover the energy storage device 200 and fix and suspend the energy storage device 200 inside the protective component 100, thus playing a good protective role. It is suitable for any type of energy storage device 200, and the protective component 100 has low manufacturing cost and simple process.
[0033] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, at least one side 102 of the protective member 100 is provided with a line flow port 103 at one end adjacent to the opening 101, through which the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 are exposed from inside the protective member 100.
[0034] Specifically, at least one side 102 of the protective component 100 is provided with a circuit flow port 103 at one end adjacent to the opening 101, including two cases: (1) the protective component 100 has only one side 102 with a circuit flow port 103 at one end adjacent to the opening 101; (2) the protective component 100 has multiple sides 102 with circuit flow ports 103 at one end adjacent to the opening 101. The opening width of the circuit flow port 103 can be slightly larger than the diameter of the charging or discharging circuit. For example, when the diameter of the charging circuit is 0.5 cm, the opening width of the circuit flow port 103 can be 1 cm or 1.5 cm, without limitation.
[0035] For example, if the protective component 100 is a hollow cuboid, and the protective component 100 has a line flow port 103 at one end of its side 102 adjacent to the opening 101, the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 can be exposed from the line flow port 103 corresponding to that side 102.
[0036] If the protective component 100 is a hollow cuboid, and both sides 102 of the protective component 100 have a line flow port 103 adjacent to the opening 101, and the energy storage device 200 has a charging line and a discharging line, the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 can be exposed from the two line flow ports 103 corresponding to the two sides 102, making it easier to distinguish the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200. In this case, the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 can also be exposed together from the line flow port 103 corresponding to one side 102, while the line flow port 103 of the other side 102 can be left empty.
[0037] If the protective component 100 is a hollow cuboid, and each of the three sides 102 of the protective component 100 adjacent to the opening 101 has a line flow port 103, and the energy storage device 200 has one charging line and one discharging line, the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 can be exposed from the two line flow ports 103 corresponding to two sides 102, making it easier to distinguish the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200. The line flow port 103 of the other side 102 can be left empty. In this case, the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 can also be exposed together from the line flow port 103 corresponding to one side 102, while the line flow ports 103 of the other two sides 102 can be left empty. Alternatively, when the energy storage device 200 has a total of three charging lines and three discharging lines, the three lines can be exposed from the three line flow ports at the three ends of the three sides 102 adjacent to the opening 101.
[0038] If the protective component 100 is a hollow cuboid, and each of the four sides 102 of the protective component 100 has a line flow port 103 adjacent to the opening 101, and the energy storage device 200 has one charging line and one discharging line, the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 can be exposed from the two line flow ports 103 corresponding to two sides 102, making it easier to distinguish the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200. The line flow ports 103 of the other two sides 102 can be left empty. In this case, the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 can also be exposed together from the line flow port 103 corresponding to one side 102, while the line flow ports 103 of the other three sides 102 can be left empty. Alternatively, when the energy storage device 200 has a total of three charging lines and three discharging lines, the three lines can be exposed from the three line flow ports at the three ends of the sides 102 adjacent to the opening 101, while the line flow port 103 of the other side 102 can be left empty. Alternatively, when the energy storage device 200 has a total of four charging and discharging lines, three lines can be exposed from the four line flow ports at the ends of the four sides 102 adjacent to the opening 101.
[0039] Thus, the protective component 100 of this application can be provided with a line flow port 103 at the end of the side 102 adjacent to the opening 101, so that while protecting the energy storage device 200, the charging line and discharging line of the energy storage device 200 can also be directly exposed from the line flow port 103 for charging or discharging.
[0040] In some embodiments, the protective member 100 is a hollow cuboid, cube, or cylinder, or the shape of the protective member is the same as the shape of the energy storage device.
[0041] That is, the protective component 100 of this application can be a hollow cuboid, cube or cylinder, which can cover the energy storage device 200 and play a protective role.
[0042] Of course, the protective component 100 can also be made into other shapes. For example, the shape of the protective component 100 can be the same as the shape of the energy storage device 200. Different shapes of energy storage devices 200 can be made into different shapes, so that when the protective component 100 is not a transparent material, the protective component 100 can play a protective role, and the model of the energy storage device 200 inside the protective component 100 can be directly determined according to the shape of the protective component 100.
[0043] Thus, the protective component 100 of this application can be made into different shapes to meet different protection needs.
[0044] In some embodiments, the side panel of the protective member 100 is assembled from multiple retractable plates, so that the height of the protective member 100 is adapted to the height of the energy storage device 200.
[0045] That is, the side panel of the protective component 100 of this application is composed of multiple retractable panels connected together. The side panel can be extended and retracted to increase the height of the entire protective component 100. Thus, when the height of the bottom panel cannot meet the height of the energy storage device 200, another panel can be extended to build a suitable height to cover the energy storage device 200 inside the protective component 100.
[0046] Thus, the side plate of the protective component 100 of this application can be made into a retractable structure, thereby meeting the protection requirements of a protective component 100 to adapt to energy storage devices 200 of different heights.
[0047] In some embodiments, when the side panels of the protective member 100 are assembled from multiple retractable plates, the inner side of the bottommost side panel of the protective member 100 is provided with a fixing structure 10, and the inner side of the remaining side panels of the protective member 100 may selectively be provided with fixing structures 10.
[0048] In other words, when the side panel of the protective component 100 of this application is assembled from multiple retractable panels, it can be fixed and suspended inside the protective component 100 by the fixing structure 10 on the inner side surface of the bottom side panel, or the protective component 100 can be further fixed by the fixing structure 10 provided on the inner side surface of the other side panels of the protective component 100.
[0049] In some embodiments, the protective element 100 is made of glass or silicone.
[0050] That is, the protective component 100 of this application can be made of glass, providing fireproof, dustproof, and waterproof protection. Alternatively, the protective component 100 can be made of silicone, which makes it lightweight while still providing dustproof and waterproof protection.
[0051] In some embodiments, the fixing structure 10 is a snap-fit structure.
[0052] Specifically, when the fixed structure 10 is a tenon structure, the outer wall of the energy storage device 200 may be provided with a positioning element corresponding to the tenon structure, and the positioning element may be firmly connected to the tenon structure.
[0053] In other words, the protective component 100 of this application can be designed with a snap-fit structure inside to be firmly connected to the positioning component on the outer shell of the energy storage device 200. This is simple, convenient, practical and efficient, and there is no need to worry about the risk of the outer shell and the internal portable energy storage separating during transportation.
[0054] In some embodiments, the fixing structure 10 is a magnetic element or an elastic element.
[0055] For example, when the fixing structure 10 is a magnetic component, the outer surface of the energy storage device 200 can be made of a magnetic material, so that when the energy storage device 200 is inside the protective component 100, it can be firmly adsorbed inside the protective component 100 when it comes into contact with the magnetic component, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the energy storage device 200 and suspending it inside the protective component 100.
[0056] When the fixing structure 10 is an elastic element, the energy storage device 200 can be fixed and suspended inside the protective component 100 by the elastic force when it comes into contact with the elastic element. The elastic element can be, for example, a plate with a spring.
[0057] Thus, the protective component 100 of this application can be provided with a fixing structure 10 including magnetic or elastic components to magnetically attract or elastically fix the energy storage device 200, thereby achieving the effect of fixing and suspending the energy storage device 200 inside the protective component 100.
[0058] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, at least one side of the interior of the protective member 100 is provided with a fixing structure 10, and / or the top surface of the interior of the protective member 100 opposite to the opening is provided with a fixing structure 10.
[0059] That is, the locations where the fixing structure 10 inside the protective member 100 is set include the following situations: (1) the fixing structure 10 is only provided on one side inside the protective member 100; (2) the fixing structure 10 is provided on multiple sides inside the protective member 100; (3) the fixing structure 10 is provided on one side inside the protective member 100 and on the top surface inside the protective member 100 opposite to the opening 101; (4) the fixing structure 10 is provided on multiple sides inside the protective member 100 and on the top surface inside the protective member 100 opposite to the opening.
[0060] In one example, if the protective component 100 is a hollow cuboid, and the fixing structure 10 is a snap-fit structure, the snap-fit structure includes snaps on all the sides inside the protective component 100 and on the top surface opposite the opening 101. The outer surface of the energy storage device 200 may have a groove that mates with the snaps. The snaps inside the protective component 100 can mate with the grooves on the outer surface of the energy storage device 200, so that the energy storage device 200 can be securely connected to the inside of the protective component 100.
[0061] In another example, if the protective component 100 is a hollow cuboid, and the fixing structure 10 is a snap-fit structure, the snap-fit structure includes slots on all the sides inside the protective component 100 and on the top surface opposite the opening 101. The outer surface of the energy storage device 200 may have buckles that mate with the slots. The slots inside the protective component 100 can mate with the buckles on the outer surface of the energy storage device 200, so that the energy storage device 200 can be securely connected to the inside of the protective component 100.
[0062] Thus, the fixing structure 10 of the protective component 100 of this application can also be a snap-fit structure, through which the energy storage device 200 is firmly connected to the inside of the protective component 100.
[0063] In some embodiments, this application also provides an energy storage device 200. The energy storage device 200 may be fitted with a protective member 100 as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0064] Furthermore, when the fixing structure 10 of the protective component 100 is a latching structure, a corresponding latching structure that mates with the latching structure can also be provided on the outer wall of the energy storage device 200. For example, when the latching structure inside the protective component 100 is a snap-fit, the position on the outer wall of the energy storage device 200 corresponding to the snap-fit can be a slot. Alternatively, when the latching structure inside the protective component 100 is a slot, the position on the outer wall of the energy storage device 200 corresponding to the snap-fit can be a snap-fit.
[0065] Thus, the protective component 100 of this application is made of fireproof, dustproof and / or waterproof material, which can cover the energy storage device 200 and fix and suspend the energy storage device 200 inside the protective component 100, thus playing a good protective role. It is suitable for any type of energy storage device 200, and the protective component 100 has low manufacturing cost and simple process.
[0066] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
