Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy and energy storage technology, specifically to an energy storage combiner cabinet for industrial and commercial applications, which integrates power electronic conversion technology, energy storage system integration technology, structural and thermal management technology, and lithium-ion battery supporting technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the energy storage industry, the energy storage combiner cabinet is a key device connecting battery clusters and energy storage converters, and its performance directly affects the safety and operating efficiency of the energy storage system. Existing energy storage combiner cabinets typically consist of a cabinet, multiple circuit breakers, circuit breaker copper busbars, main copper busbars, and other electrical components, but their structural design has the following shortcomings: Conflict between safety protection and ease of maintenance: Electrical components are scattered, and without electrical safety protection panels, personnel may accidentally touch live parts, posing a safety hazard; if a fully enclosed structure is used, although safety can be improved, the efficiency of installation and maintenance will be greatly reduced, and operators will need to remove the panels to operate.
[0003] The wiring area design is unreasonable: the wiring area is scattered on site and the wiring position is low to the ground, which makes wiring operation inconvenient and inefficient. At the same time, there is a lack of effective observation means after wiring is completed, making it difficult to check the wiring status before operation. In addition, some designs do not have protective structures, which poses safety risks.
[0004] Poor heat dissipation: Heat inside the cabinet is difficult to dissipate effectively, and long-term operation can cause electrical components to age due to high temperature, affecting the service life and stability of the equipment.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an energy storage combiner cabinet that can solve the above problems at the same time, while taking into account safety, ease of operation and heat dissipation performance. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model aims to solve the problems of existing energy storage combiner cabinets, such as the conflict between safety protection and ease of maintenance, low wiring operation efficiency and difficulty in observation, and insufficient heat dissipation performance, and provides an energy storage combiner cabinet with reasonable layout, safety and reliability, and high maintenance efficiency.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is provided: An energy storage combiner cabinet includes a cabinet body and a hinged cabinet door. The cabinet body is divided into an electrical component placement area, a circuit breaker placement area, and a wiring area from top to bottom. The electrical component placement area is equipped with an electrical component compartment sealing plate, which has an opening for observing the status of the electrical components and operating them. The circuit breaker placement area is equipped with a circuit breaker sealing plate. An opening two for operating the circuit breaker is provided on the circuit breaker sealing plate, and the copper busbar of the circuit breaker is located on the side of the circuit breaker sealing plate away from the operating surface. The wiring area is equipped with a wiring area sealing plate; the bottom of the cabinet body is provided with an air inlet, and the upper back of the cabinet body is provided with an air outlet, and filter cotton is provided at both the air inlet and the air outlet.
[0008] Preferably, the electrical component placement area is equipped with an electricity meter, a temperature and humidity sensor, and a miniature circuit breaker, and the opening corresponds to the display area of the electricity meter, the display area of the temperature and humidity sensor, and the operating area of the miniature circuit breaker, respectively.
[0009] Preferably, the circuit breaker placement area is provided with 2-8 circuit breakers, which are divided into upper row circuit breakers and lower row circuit breakers. The lower row circuit breakers are arranged first, and the upper row circuit breakers are arranged only when the number of lower row circuit breakers exceeds 4.
[0010] Preferably, the upper input copper busbar of the upper circuit breaker is connected to the horizontal busbar, the lower circuit breaker input copper busbar of the lower circuit breaker is connected to the lower horizontal busbar, the upper horizontal busbar and the lower horizontal busbar are connected through a vertical busbar, and the three-phase input copper busbar is connected to the lower horizontal busbar.
[0011] Preferably, the lower output copper busbar of the lower circuit breaker extends to the wiring area and is fixed to the crossbeam of the cabinet body through insulating terminals; the upper output copper busbar of the upper circuit breaker extends from the back of the cabinet body to the wiring area and is fixed to the crossbeam of the cabinet body through insulators.
[0012] Preferably, the copper busbars in the wiring area include an upper circuit breaker output copper busbar, a three-phase power input copper busbar, and a lower circuit breaker output copper busbar. The upper circuit breaker output copper busbar, the three-phase power input copper busbar, and the lower circuit breaker output copper busbar are staggered in front-to-back and vertically, and the wiring sequence is from back to front, connecting the upper circuit breaker output copper busbar, the three-phase power input copper busbar, and the lower circuit breaker output copper busbar in sequence.
