Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage system technology, and in particular to a pipeline protection device for a container liquid-cooled energy storage system. Background Technology

[0002] With the growth of global energy demand and the transformation of the energy structure, energy storage technology, as a key means to regulate the balance of energy supply and demand and improve energy utilization efficiency, is receiving increasing attention. Containerized liquid-cooled energy storage systems, as a highly efficient and reliable energy storage solution, are widely used in data centers, renewable energy grid connection, and grid peak shaving.

[0003] However, in actual operation, the equipment inside the container is dense and the piping system is complex. The piping is susceptible to collisions and compression from surrounding equipment, as well as external vibrations and impacts that may be encountered during transportation, installation and use, which can lead to pipe damage and coolant leakage, thereby affecting the normal heat dissipation and equipment performance of the energy storage system, or even causing equipment damage.

[0004] Currently, the protection of piping in containerized liquid-cooled energy storage systems mainly involves simple measures, such as using rubber sleeves to wrap the outer ends of the pipes. While this method can reduce direct contact between the pipes and external objects to some extent, the rubber sleeves are susceptible to detachment or damage from external forces. Especially when subjected to strong collisions and impacts, they may fail to provide effective protection, leading to pipe damage, coolant leakage, and ultimately affecting the normal operation of the entire energy storage system. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology. This utility model proposes a pipeline protection device for a container liquid-cooled energy storage system.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues with existing protection measures for containerized liquid-cooled energy storage system pipelines, simple methods are primarily employed, such as using rubber sleeves to wrap and protect the outer ends of the pipelines. While this method can reduce direct contact between the pipelines and external objects to some extent, the rubber sleeves are susceptible to detachment or damage from external forces. Especially under significant collisions and impacts, they may fail to provide effective protection, leading to pipeline damage, coolant leakage, and ultimately affecting the normal operation of the entire energy storage system. The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A protective device for pipelines in a containerized liquid-cooled energy storage system includes a mounting plate, a protective shell, and a pipeline to be protected. The protective shell encloses the pipeline to be protected to provide a protective space for the pipeline. A buffer component is disposed inside the protective housing, and the inner side of the buffer component abuts against and adheres to the outer curved surface of the pipeline to be protected, for absorbing and dispersing the impact energy acting on the pipeline to be protected. A clamping plate, disposed inside the protective housing, is used to support and compress the inner side of the buffer member; A support mechanism is provided on the outside of the protective housing to support the clamping plate.

[0007] Preferably, the support mechanism includes: A sliding rod is provided on the outside of the clamping plate to support the clamping plate; A sliding tube is inserted through and embedded in the outer curved surface of the protective housing, and the inner wall of the sliding tube is slidably connected to the outer curved surface of the sliding rod, for limiting the sliding of the sliding rod.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting plate is provided on the outer side of the slide rod, and an adjusting screw is threaded through the middle of the connecting plate. A fastening nut for locking and tightening the adjusting screw is threaded to the outer end of the adjusting screw.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping plate is designed in an arc shape, and the inner side of the adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the outer curved surface of the protective shell via a rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the mounting plate has mounting holes at its four corners, an extension groove is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting plate, an extension block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the lower end of the extension groove, and the extension block is fixedly installed on the upper end of the protective shell.

[0011] Preferably, a plurality of positioning holes are evenly provided at the joint between the extension block and the extension groove, and the positioning holes are symmetrically distributed from top to bottom at the joint between the extension block and the extension groove, and positioning bolts are fitted on the inner wall of the positioning holes.

[0012] Preferably, the protective housing is made of metal material, and the outer surface of the protective housing is provided with multiple strip-shaped anti-collision protrusions.

[0013] Preferably, the buffer component is made of rubber, and the outer curved surfaces on both sides of the protective shell are provided with external threads.

[0014] Preferably, the protective housing is threadedly connected to both sides with sealing end caps for sealing both sides of the protective housing.

[0015] Preferably, the protective housing adopts a tubular structure, and the buffer member is fixed at both ends to the inner wall of the protective housing.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention allows the sealed end cap to be opened by rotation, enabling the pipeline to be protected to be inserted into the protective housing. The protective housing provides basic protection for the pipeline, while the buffer component fits tightly against the outer curved surface of the pipeline, providing additional protection. When the pipeline is subjected to external impact, the buffer component can quickly undergo elastic deformation, absorbing and dispersing the impact energy, reducing the direct force on the pipeline. It not only effectively resists external collisions and impacts but also prevents dust and moisture from entering the outer curved surface of the pipeline, protecting it from damage.

[0017] This invention also allows the connecting plate, sliding rod, and clamping plate to move inward by rotating the adjusting screw, which compresses the inner side of the buffer component, making it fit more tightly against the outer curved surface of the pipeline. This further enhances the stability of the pipeline inside the protective shell and provides a more reliable guarantee for the stable operation of the container liquid-cooled energy storage system.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This embodiment proposes a pipeline protection device for a container liquid-cooled energy storage system, including a mounting plate 1 and a protective shell 2.

[0026] Mounting plate 1 is made of high-strength material and has mounting holes at its four corners. By passing fixing bolts through these holes, mounting plate 1 can be securely fixed to the bracket or other fixed structure inside the container. This design ensures that the entire protective device remains stable during system operation, avoiding protective failure due to shaking or displacement.

[0027] The lower end of the mounting plate 1 is welded or integrally formed with an extension groove 5, the inner wall of which is movably fitted to the extension block 6. The extension block 6 is then securely mounted on the upper end of the protective housing 2. Multiple positioning holes 7 are evenly spaced at the contact point between the extension block 6 and the extension groove 5, symmetrically distributed from top to bottom. The precise extension and positioning of the extension block 6 and the extension groove 5 is achieved through the tight engagement of the positioning bolts 8 with the positioning holes 7. This design allows the protective housing 2 to be adjusted vertically as needed, improving the flexibility and applicability of the device.

[0028] The protective housing 2 adopts a tubular structure design, enclosing the pipeline 3 to be protected, providing it with a safe and reliable protective space. The protective housing 2 is made of metal materials, such as stainless steel, which not only has high mechanical strength but also strong corrosion resistance, effectively resisting external impacts and compression.

[0029] In addition, the outer surface of the protective shell 2 is welded or integrally formed with multiple strip-shaped anti-collision protrusions 9. These protrusions are evenly distributed on the surface of the shell, increasing the contact area with external objects. When subjected to a collision, the anti-collision protrusions 9 can further disperse the impact force, significantly improving the overall collision resistance.

[0030] This implementation also incorporates the design of buffer component 4.

[0031] The buffer component 4 is fixed to both ends of the inner wall of the protective shell 2 by adhesive bonding, and its inner side is tightly fitted to the outer curved surface of the pipeline 3 to be protected. The buffer component 4 is made of rubber and has good elasticity. When the pipeline is subjected to external impact, the buffer component 4 can quickly undergo elastic deformation to absorb and disperse the impact energy, thereby reducing the direct impact on the pipeline 3 to be protected. At the same time, the buffer component 4 can also play a role in sealing and shock absorption, effectively preventing dust, moisture and other contaminants from entering the outer curved surface of the pipeline and protecting the pipeline from damage.

[0032] The protective housing 2 has external threads on its two outer curved surfaces, facilitating extension and connection with threaded joints. This design allows the protective device to be flexibly adjusted in length according to actual needs, adapting to the protection requirements of pipelines of different lengths. Meanwhile, the sealing end caps 10 are threaded to both sides of the protective housing 2, further preventing external dust and moisture from entering the housing, providing a clean and dry working environment for the buffer component 4 and the pipeline 3 to be protected, effectively extending their service life.

[0033] To further improve the stability of the pipeline inside the protective housing 2, this embodiment also adds a clamping plate 13 to support the inner side of the buffer member 4.

[0034] The outer curved surface of the protective housing 2 is embedded through a sliding tube 11. A sliding rod 12 is movably connected inside the sliding tube 11, while a clamping plate 13 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the sliding rod 12. The clamping plate 13 has an arc-shaped design to better fit the outer curved surface of the pipe. A connecting plate 14 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the sliding rod 12. An adjusting screw 15 is threaded through the middle of the connecting plate 14, and the inner side of the adjusting screw 15 is rotatably connected to the outer curved surface of the protective housing 2 via a rotating shaft. A fastening nut 16 is also threaded to the outer end of the adjusting screw 15 for locking and tightening.

[0035] In use, by rotating the adjusting screw 15, the connecting plate 14, the slide rod 12 and the clamping plate 13 can be moved inward to squeeze the inner side of the buffer component 4, so that it fits more tightly against the outer curved surface of the pipeline, thereby improving the stability of the pipeline.

[0036] Please continue reading. Figure 1 - Figure 4 The installation steps of this implementation method are as follows: Step 1: Inspect the mounting plate 1, protective shell 2, buffer component 4, sealing end cap 10, and other components for damage. Prepare fasteners such as fixing bolts, positioning bolts 8, and adjusting screws 15. Securely fix the mounting plate 1 to the bracket or other fixed structure inside the container using the fixing bolts.

[0037] Step 2: Insert the extension block 6 into the extension groove 5, and adjust the protective housing 2 to the appropriate position and fix it by cooperating with the positioning bolt 8 and the positioning hole 7. Fix the two ends of the buffer component 4 to the inner wall of the protective housing 2 by adhesive bonding, ensuring that its inner side is in close contact with the outer curved surface of the pipeline 3 to be protected.

[0038] Step 3: Rotate to open the sealing end cap 10 and insert the pipeline 3 to be protected into the protective housing 2. By rotating the adjusting screw 15, the connecting plate 14, sliding rod 12 and clamping plate 13 are moved inward, which squeezes the inner side of the buffer component 4, making it fit more tightly against the outer curved surface of the pipeline.

[0039] Step 4: Connect the sealing end cap 10 to both sides of the protective housing 2 via threads to ensure a good seal.

[0040] Step 5: Regularly inspect all components of the protective device for damage. Replace any damaged components promptly. Regularly clean the surface of the protective housing 2 and the sealing end cap 10 to prevent dust and dirt accumulation. Regularly check the fasteners such as fixing bolts, positioning bolts 8, and adjusting screws 15 for looseness. Tighten any loose fasteners promptly. Regularly perform performance tests on the protective device to ensure it can effectively withstand external collisions and impacts.

[0041] Example 1: Parallel Protection of Multiple Pipelines In practical applications, containerized liquid-cooled energy storage systems often contain multiple parallel pipelines, each requiring independent protection. To address this, the protective devices can be designed to extend their functionality to protect multiple pipelines simultaneously.

[0042] The width and length of the mounting plate 1 are increased to accommodate more protective housings 2. Multiple sets of mounting holes are made on the mounting plate 1, each set corresponding to the installation position of one protective housing 2. Each protective housing 2 is independently designed, including components such as an extension groove 5, an extension block 6, a buffer cavity, and a sealing end cap 10, similar to the single-pipe protection device. Precise installation and position adjustment of each protective housing 2 are achieved through the cooperation of the positioning bolts 8 and the positioning holes 7.

[0043] Effectiveness: It can simultaneously protect multiple parallel pipelines, improving protection efficiency. Each protective housing is independently adjustable to adapt to the installation requirements of different pipelines. It maintains the original protective performance, ensuring that each pipeline is effectively protected.

[0044] Example 2: Protection of Inclined Pipelines In certain special cases, the piping in a containerized liquid-cooled energy storage system may be arranged at an angle. For such angled piping, the protective device needs to be adapted. The design of mounting plate 1 should be modified to accommodate the requirements of the angled mounting surface. For example, elongated mounting holes can be provided on mounting plate 1, allowing it to be adjusted within a certain angle range.

[0045] The design of the protective housing 2 also needs to be adjusted accordingly to ensure that it can still tightly wrap the pipeline when tilted. This can be achieved by increasing the length of the protective housing 2 or by using flexible materials. The design of the buffer cavity and clamping plate 13 remains unchanged, but their installation position and clamping force need to be adjusted according to the tilt angle to ensure that the pipeline can still be stably supported when tilted.

[0046] Effectiveness: Adapts to the protection needs of inclined pipelines, expanding the application range of protective devices. Maintains original protective performance, ensuring effective protection of inclined pipelines when subjected to external impacts.

[0047] Example 3: Enhanced Protection in High-Temperature Environments In high-temperature environments, the piping of containerized liquid-cooled energy storage systems may face higher thermal stress. To enhance the performance of the protective device in high-temperature environments, the following measures can be taken: Select high-temperature resistant materials to construct the protective shell 2 and the buffer chamber. For example, high-temperature resistant rubber materials such as silicone rubber can be used to construct the buffer chamber to improve its thermal stability.

[0048] Add heat dissipation fins or other heat dissipation designs to the outer surface of the protective housing 2 to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the protective device. Perform high-temperature resistant treatment on components such as mounting plate 1 and fixing bolts, such as galvanizing or spraying with a high-temperature resistant coating, to improve their corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance.

[0049] Benefits: Improves the stability and reliability of protective devices in high-temperature environments. Extends the service life of protective devices and reduces component aging or damage caused by high temperatures. Ensures the energy storage system can still operate normally in high-temperature environments, improving the overall performance of the system.

[0050] The containerized liquid-cooled energy storage system pipeline protection device proposed in the above-mentioned embodiments provides comprehensive and reliable protection for the pipeline through a robust installation structure, an impact-resistant protective shell 2 design, the introduction of a buffer component 4, and the design of the clamping plate 13 and adjustment mechanism. This device not only effectively resists external collisions and impacts but also prevents dust and moisture from intruding into the outer curved surface of the pipeline, protecting it from damage.

[0051] Through additional application examples, we further demonstrated the adaptability and enhanced performance of this protective device in special conditions such as parallel multi-pipelines, inclined pipelines, and high-temperature environments. In the future, with the continuous development of energy storage technology and the expansion of application scenarios, the requirements for pipeline protection devices will continue to increase. Therefore, we will continue to optimize the design of the protective device, improve its protective performance and applicability, and provide a more reliable guarantee for the stable operation of containerized liquid-cooled energy storage systems. At the same time, we will also explore the possibility of applying this protective device to other similar scenarios, promoting the widespread application and development of energy storage technology.

[0052] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
