Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage container technology, and in particular to an energy storage container with a safe unloading port function. Background Technology

[0002] Energy storage containers serve as energy storage devices within shipping containers. By utilizing their high energy efficiency ratio, high sensible heat ratio, and cooling / heating capabilities, they effectively reduce energy loss, achieve stable power supply, and improve overall operational efficiency. With the development of energy storage containers, their numbers are increasing. However, energy storage containers differ from other types of containers due to the large number of energy storage battery packs they contain, resulting in high energy density, numerous internal electrical components, and a high degree of integration. This poses significant safety hazards in the event of short circuits, fires, or other emergencies. Furthermore, energy storage containers are often assembled into large-scale energy storage stations. Since the doors of most energy storage containers are located on the sides, if one container explodes, the blown-off door panels can easily spread to surrounding containers due to inertia, causing a chain reaction. Ordinary energy storage containers lack effective preventative measures against this safety hazard, resulting in significant safety risks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a feasible solution to mitigate this safety hazard. This application provides an energy storage container with a safe explosion-proof vent function to meet this requirement. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an energy storage container with a safe unloading vent function to solve the existing problems.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An energy storage container with a safe explosion-proof port function includes: an energy storage container body, which is composed of an energy storage container base frame, an energy storage container front end, an energy storage container rear end, an energy storage container right side, an energy storage container left side, and an energy storage container top plate. The energy storage container top plate has multiple explosion-proof ports, and explosion-proof components are installed inside each explosion-proof port. An explosion-proof plate is installed at the top of the explosion-proof port. Both the explosion-proof ports and the explosion-proof plate are located directly above the battery cluster rack inside the energy storage container. The explosion-proof components are composed of a top crossbeam, a top crossbeam reinforcing plate, an explosion-proof plate mounting plate, and a sealing plate. The top crossbeam, the top crossbeam reinforcing plate, the explosion-proof plate mounting plate, and the sealing plate constitute a reinforcing structure. Every two reinforcing structures form an explosion-proof top crossbeam body.

[0006] In some examples, a short top longitudinal beam is provided between the two main top crossbeams, a detonation plate mounting plate is provided on the top of the main top crossbeam, two detonation plate mounting plates are provided, a sealing plate is provided between the two detonation plate mounting plates, a middle top longitudinal beam is provided between the two main top longitudinal beams, and a reinforcing plate for the top crossbeam is located between the top longitudinal beam and the middle top longitudinal beam.

[0007] In some examples, the top short longitudinal beam is welded to the top middle longitudinal beam to reinforce it, forming a longitudinal reinforcement on the side of the explosion vent.

[0008] In some examples, the top short longitudinal beam is welded to the top longitudinal beam to reinforce it, forming a longitudinal reinforcement on the other side of the detonation port. The two longitudinal reinforcements on both sides form a detonation port installation opening to ensure the strength of the detonation port.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0010] In the above solution, by adding multiple explosion relief ports to the top plate of the energy storage box, and placing the explosion relief ports at the top of each battery pack, that is, placing the explosion relief ports at the point where the internal pressure is the greatest when the box explodes and catches fire, the internal pressure can be released with maximum efficiency as soon as a danger is discovered, minimizing the danger to the greatest extent. Moreover, after the explosion relief plates are installed, their height does not exceed the upper surface of the corner fittings, which meets the requirements of standard container shipping, greatly reducing the transportation cost of energy storage containers.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an energy storage container with a safe unloading port function, comprising: an energy storage container body, which is composed of an energy storage container base frame 2, an energy storage container front end 1, an energy storage container rear end 4, an energy storage container right side 3, an energy storage container left side 6, and an energy storage container top plate 5, etc. (e.g., Figure 1 As shown), the top plate 5 of the energy storage box has multiple explosion relief ports 7, and explosion relief components 8 are installed inside the explosion relief ports 7. An explosion relief plate is installed at the top of the explosion relief port 7. Both the explosion relief ports 7 and the explosion relief plate are located directly above the battery cluster rack inside the energy storage box (as shown). Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown), the detonation unloading assembly 8 consists of a top crossbeam, a top crossbeam reinforcing plate 83, a detonation unloading plate mounting plate 84, and a sealing plate 82. The top crossbeam, top crossbeam reinforcing plate 83, detonation unloading plate mounting plate 84, and sealing plate 82 form a reinforcing structure. Every two reinforcing structures form a detonation unloading top crossbeam body 81, ensuring the strength of the detonation unloading port 7 (as shown). Figure 4 As shown), the height of the unloading plate after installation should not exceed the upper surface of the corner piece, which meets the requirements for standard container shipping.

[0028] In this embodiment, it should be further explained that a short top longitudinal beam 86 is provided between the two main bodies 81 of the top crossbeams, and a detonation plate mounting plate 84 is provided on the top of the main body 81 of the top crossbeams. There are two detonation plate mounting plates 84, and a sealing plate 82 is provided between the two detonation plate mounting plates 84. A middle top longitudinal beam 85 is provided between the two main bodies 87 of the top longitudinal beams, and a reinforcing plate 83 of the top crossbeam is located between the top longitudinal beam and the middle top longitudinal beam 85, which can ensure that the detonation port 7 meets the detonation force requirements during an explosion.

[0029] like Figure 6As shown in the figure, it should be further explained that the top short longitudinal beam 86 and the top middle longitudinal beam 85 are welded together to reinforce each other, forming a longitudinal reinforcement on one side of the explosion vent 7.

[0030] like Figure 7 As shown in the figure, it is necessary to further explain that the top short longitudinal beam 86 is welded and reinforced with the top longitudinal beam to form the other side of the explosion relief port 7. The two sides of the longitudinal reinforcement form an installation port for the explosion relief port 7 to ensure the strength of the explosion relief port 7.

[0031] The technical solution provided by this utility model adds multiple explosion relief ports to the top plate. The explosion relief ports are set at the top of each battery pack, that is, the explosion relief ports are arranged at the place where the internal pressure is the greatest when the container explodes and catches fire. When a danger is discovered, the internal pressure can be released with the highest efficiency at the first time, minimizing the danger. Moreover, after the explosion relief plate is installed, the height does not exceed the upper surface of the corner fitting, which meets the standard container shipping requirements, and greatly reduces the transportation cost of energy storage containers.
