Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power supply equipment technology, specifically to a charging device and a mobile power supply equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As a mobile power supply device, the power supply vehicle has been widely used in many fields due to its advantages of easy deployment and flexible power supply. A typical power supply vehicle is equipped with multiple chargers to meet different power supply needs.

[0003] However, in order to ensure the heat dissipation efficiency of the charger and to facilitate the opening of the charger for maintenance operations, multiple chargers often need to occupy a large space in the vehicle layout, resulting in a reduction in the overall space utilization of the vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a charging device and a mobile power supply equipment to solve or improve the problem that existing multiple chargers require a large space in the vehicle layout, resulting in a reduction in the overall space utilization of the vehicle.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a charging device, including a first charger and a second charger, both of which have a front and a side. The front is provided with an operation panel. The first charger and the second charger are arranged along a first direction, and the front of the first charger and the front of the second charger face the same direction. The first charger is provided with a first air inlet along the side of the first direction, and the second charger is provided with a second air inlet along the side of the first direction. The first air inlet and the second air inlet are arranged opposite to each other or opposite to each other.

[0006] Beneficial effects: When multiple chargers are installed in the charging device, they can be configured as either first chargers or second chargers. Air inlets are located on different sides of the first and second chargers, ensuring that their air inlets do not interfere with each other and guaranteeing efficient heat dissipation. Simultaneously, the first and second chargers, arranged along the first direction, face the same direction, allowing operation of the control panel from the front of the charger while reducing the space occupied by multiple chargers in the second direction, thus improving the overall vehicle space utilization.

[0007] In one alternative embodiment, the first charger and the second charger are provided in multiples spaced apart along a second direction.

[0008] Beneficial effects: Arranging the first and second chargers along the second direction facilitates charger layout and increases the number of chargers. Furthermore, the spacing between the first and second chargers creates a space for maintenance operations, making it convenient for operators to work.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the first charger and the second charger are alternately arranged along the second direction, and the front of the first charger and the front of the second charger face opposite directions.

[0010] Beneficial effects: When multiple chargers are installed, alternating the arrangement of the first and second chargers along the second direction facilitates the layout of multiple chargers. Simultaneously, the front faces of the first and second chargers are opposite along the second direction, allowing adjacent first and second chargers to be positioned with their front faces opposite each other. This enables operation of both the front control panels of the first and second chargers within the same operating space, reducing the space occupied by multiple chargers in the second direction and improving the overall vehicle space utilization.

[0011] In one optional embodiment, the first charger is further provided with a first air outlet, and the first charger is provided with a first air duct inside, and the first air inlet is connected to the first air outlet through the first air duct; the second charger is further provided with a second air outlet, and the second charger is provided with a second air duct inside, and the second air inlet is connected to the second air outlet through the second air duct.

[0012] Beneficial effects: The first and second air ducts are set up independently, so that the first and second chargers can form separate heat dissipation paths, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first and second chargers.

[0013] In one optional embodiment, the first air inlet and the first air outlet are respectively located on two sides of the first charger along the first direction; the second air inlet and the second air outlet are respectively located on two sides of the second charger along the first direction.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The first charger has a first air inlet and a first air outlet on opposite sides, and the second charger has a second air inlet and a second air outlet on opposite sides. When the first air inlet and the second air outlet are arranged opposite to each other or back to back, the first air outlet on the first charger is less likely to affect the normal air intake of the second air inlet on the second charger, and the second air outlet on the second charger is less likely to affect the normal air intake of the first air inlet on the first charger, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first charger and the second charger.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, the first air inlet on the first charger is disposed opposite to the second air inlet on the second charger, and the first air outlet on the first charger is disposed opposite to the second air outlet on the second charger.

[0016] Beneficial effects: By setting the first air inlet and the second air inlet to be opposite each other, and the first air outlet and the second air outlet to be opposite each other, the cooling airflow of the first charger and the second charger can be drawn in from the middle area between them and discharged in opposite directions, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first charger and the second charger.

[0017] In one alternative embodiment, the first charger and the second charger are spaced apart along the first direction to form a maintenance passage between them.

[0018] Beneficial effects: An inspection passage is set between the first charger and the second charger to facilitate the passage of operators, and a gap is set between the first charger and the second charger to facilitate the intake of external air through the first air inlet and the second air inlet, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first charger and the second charger.

[0019] In one optional embodiment, the first charger has a detachable first module on its side along the first direction, and the second charger has a detachable second module on its side along the first direction, with the first module and the second module disposed opposite to each other.

[0020] Beneficial effects: The detachable first module and second module are respectively set on the opposite sides of the first charger and the second charger. When the operator is positioned between the first charger and the second charger along the first direction, he / she can remove and maintain the first module on the first charger and the second module on the second charger, thereby facilitating the operator to perform maintenance operations.

[0021] Secondly, this application provides a mobile power supply device, including a vehicle, the vehicle including a carriage; the charging device described in any of the above claims is disposed in the carriage.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The charging device described above is located inside the carriage. The charging device includes multiple chargers, which are respectively configured as first chargers and second chargers. While ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the first charger and the second charger, the multiple chargers can reduce the space occupied in the second direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the charging device in the carriage and improving the utilization rate of the carriage.

[0023] In one alternative embodiment, the vehicle compartment is further provided with a battery pack and a cooling system, the battery pack and the cooling system being sequentially arranged on one side of the charging device along the second direction, and the battery pack being electrically connected to the first charger and the second charger.

[0024] Beneficial effects: Installing battery clusters and a cooling system inside the vehicle compartment can form a complete power supply system. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 This describes an embodiment of the present application.

[0030] According to an embodiment of this application, in a first aspect, a charging device is provided, including a first charger 1 and a second charger 2, both of which have a front and a side. An operation panel is provided on the front. The first charger 1 and the second charger 2 are arranged along a first direction X. The front of the first charger 1 and the front of the second charger 2 face the same direction. The first charger 1 is provided with a first air inlet 101 on its side along the first direction X, and the second charger 2 is provided with a second air inlet 201 on its side along the first direction X. The first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 201 are arranged opposite to each other or opposite to each other.

[0031] First, it should be noted that, as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the first direction X is the width direction of the carriage 6, and the second direction Y is the length direction of the carriage 6, which is also the front-to-back direction of the carriage 6. Of course, those skilled in the art can adjust the specific directions referred to by the first direction X and the second direction Y according to actual needs.

[0032] Both the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 described above have a front and a side. The following description uses the example of the first charger 1 having a first front 103 and two first side 104, and the second charger 2 having a second front 203 and two second side 204 as examples.

[0033] The first charger 1 has an operation panel on its first front side 103, allowing operators to control it. A cabinet door can also be provided on the first front side 103 for easy access and maintenance of the internal equipment. Similarly, the second charger 2 has an operation panel on its second front side 203, allowing operators to control it. A cabinet door can also be provided on the second front side 203 for easy access and maintenance of the internal equipment.

[0034] Understandable, such as Figure 1 As shown, most existing chargers are of the same type. Taking the first charger 1 as an example, when there are multiple first chargers 1, in order to avoid the first air outlet 102 of one first charger 1 facing the first air inlet 101 of another first charger 1 along the first direction X, which would affect the heat dissipation efficiency of the first charger 1, the orientation of the two first chargers 1 along the first direction X is usually set to be opposite, that is, the two first front faces 103 on the two first chargers 1 face opposite directions. This also leads to the need to add extra operating space along the second direction Y for the use of the first chargers 1 in different positions, resulting in wasted space.

[0035] In this technical solution, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the difference between the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 lies in the fact that their air inlets are located on different sides, resulting in different airflow directions in the cooling ducts of the first charger 1 and the second charger 2. When the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 are arranged along the first direction X, and the first front face 103 of the first charger 1 and the second front face 203 of the second charger 2 face the same direction, the first air inlet 101 on the first charger 1 and the second air inlet 201 on the second charger 2 are arranged opposite to or away from each other. This ensures that the air inlets of the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 do not interfere with each other, guaranteeing the cooling efficiency of the chargers. At the same time, the fact that the first charger 1 and the second charger 2, arranged along the first direction X, face the same direction reduces the space occupied by multiple chargers in the second direction Y, improving the overall space utilization of the vehicle.

[0036] In this embodiment, the charging device described above can be used independently or mounted on the vehicle 5 and housed within the vehicle compartment 6 of the vehicle 5. The vehicle 5 can be a gasoline vehicle, a new energy vehicle, or other ground-based mobile equipment.

[0037] In one embodiment, when multiple chargers are provided and the arrangement of multiple chargers along the first direction X is insufficient, multiple first chargers 1 and second chargers 2 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. This arrangement of the first chargers 1 and second chargers 2 along the second direction Y facilitates charger layout and increases the number of chargers. Furthermore, the intervals between the first chargers 1 and second chargers 2 create a space for maintenance operations, facilitating operator access.

[0038] In one embodiment, based on the arrangement of multiple first chargers 1 and second chargers 2 at intervals along the second direction Y, the first chargers 1 and second chargers 2 are alternately arranged along the second direction Y, and the front of the first charger 1 and the front of the second charger 2 face opposite directions.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, when multiple chargers are provided, due to the limitation of the width of the carriage 6 along the first direction X, the chargers can be arranged along the second direction Y of the carriage 6. For example, four chargers are provided, two of which are designated as first chargers 1 and the other two as second chargers 2. Along the first direction X, the first chargers 1 and the second chargers 2 are arranged alternately, and the first front face 103 of the first charger 1 and the second front face 203 of the second charger 2 face the same direction. Along the second direction Y, the first chargers 1 and 2 are also arranged alternately, and the first front face 103 of the first charger 1 and the second front face 203 of the second charger 2 are positioned opposite each other.

[0040] In this way, an operating space is formed between the adjacent first charger 1 and second charger 2 arranged along the second direction Y. The operating space can be used to operate the operating panel on the first front 103 of the first charger 1 and the operating panel on the second front 203 of the second charger 2, thereby reducing the space occupied by multiple first chargers 1 and second chargers 2 in the second direction Y and improving the overall space utilization of the vehicle.

[0041] Optionally, when the number of chargers is more than four, for example, six chargers are set, four of them can be arranged in the same way as described above, and the remaining two are the first charger 1 and the second charger 2, respectively. Along the second direction Y, the back of the remaining first charger 1 can be arranged to fit against the back of the adjacent second charger 2, thereby further reducing the space occupied.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first charger 1 is further provided with a first air outlet 102, and the first charger 1 is provided with a first air duct inside, and the first air inlet 101 is connected to the first air outlet 102 through the first air duct; the second charger 2 is further provided with a second air outlet 202, and the second charger 2 is provided with a second air duct inside, and the second air inlet 201 is connected to the second air outlet 202 through the second air duct.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first air duct of the first charger 1 and the second air duct of the second charger 2 are set independently, so that the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 can form separate heat dissipation paths, thereby avoiding mutual interference in heat dissipation between the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first charger 1 and the second charger 2.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102 are located on the two sides of the first charger 1 along the first direction X, and the second air inlet 201 and the second air outlet 202 are located on the two sides of the second charger 2 along the first direction X.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the two opposite first sides 104 of the first charger 1 are respectively provided with a first air inlet 101 and a first air outlet 102. By setting the first air outlet 102 away from the first air inlet 101, the interference of the first air outlet 102 on the first air inlet 101 can be reduced. Similarly, the two opposite second sides 204 of the second charger 2 are respectively provided with a second air inlet 201 and a second air outlet 202. By setting the second air outlet 202 away from the second air inlet 201, the interference of the second air outlet 202 on the second air inlet 201 can be reduced.

[0046] Preferably, such as Figure 3As shown, the first air inlet 101 on the first charger 1 is positioned opposite to the second air inlet 201 on the second charger 2, and the first air outlet 102 on the first charger 1 is positioned opposite to the second air outlet 202 on the second charger 2. In this way, the first charger 1 and the second charger 2, spaced apart along the first direction X, can achieve air intake in the middle and air outlet on both sides, reducing interference caused by the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 202, and facilitating the exhaust of the heat-exchanged air from the carriage 6.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 are spaced apart along a first direction X to form a maintenance passage between them.

[0048] In this embodiment, a maintenance passage is provided between the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 to facilitate the passage of operators. The maintenance passage between the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 also provides a gap between them, which facilitates the intake of external air by the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 201, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first charger 1 and the second charger 2.

[0049] In one embodiment, a first charger 1 is provided with a detachable first module 3 on its side along the first direction X, and a second charger 2 is provided with a detachable second module 4 on its side along the first direction X, with the first module 3 and the second module 4 arranged opposite to each other.

[0050] Understandably, the first module 3 and the second module 4 are functional modules that can be detached or pulled out from the side of the charger for maintenance. These functional modules can be power modules, control modules, or communication modules, etc.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the detachable first module 3 and second module 4 are respectively disposed on the opposite sides of the first charger 1 and the second charger 2. When the operator is positioned between the first charger 1 and the second charger 2 along the first direction X, he / she can remove and maintain the first module 3 on the first charger 1 and the second module 4 on the second charger 2, thereby facilitating the operator to perform maintenance operations.

[0052] Secondly, this application provides a mobile power supply device, including a vehicle 5, the vehicle 5 including a carriage 6; the charging device of any of the above is disposed in the carriage 6.

[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the charging device is located inside the carriage 6. The charging device includes multiple chargers, which are respectively configured as a first charger 1 and a second charger 2. While ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the first charger 1 and the second charger 2, the multiple chargers can reduce the space occupied in the second direction Y, thereby reducing the space occupied by the charging device in the carriage 6 and improving the utilization rate of the carriage 6.

[0054] Optionally, vehicle 5 can be a fuel vehicle, a new energy vehicle, or other ground-based mobile equipment. Specifically, vehicle 5 can be a small truck or a large semi-trailer.

[0055] In one embodiment, the vehicle compartment 6 is also provided with a battery cluster 7 and a cooling system 8. The battery cluster 7 and the cooling system 8 are sequentially arranged on one side of the charging device along the second direction Y. The battery cluster 7 is electrically connected to the first charger 1 and the second charger 2.

[0056] In this embodiment, within the carriage 6 along the second direction Y and towards the front of the vehicle 5, a charging unit consisting of a first charger 1 and a second charger 2, a battery cluster 7, and a cooling system 8 can be sequentially arranged. The battery cluster 7 is used to store electrical energy for use by external devices. The cooling system 8 may include components such as a liquid cooling unit and a radiator. The cooling system 8 can cool the battery cluster 7, ensuring that the entire power supply system maintains normal operation.

[0057] Although embodiments of this application have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
