[0011] In some embodiments of this application, a groove for forming a slide rail is provided on the first wall surface, and the first adapter terminal is completely embedded in the groove.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, two slide rails are provided on the first wall surface, and the two slide rails are spaced apart in the third direction, with the first direction, the second direction and the third direction being perpendicular to each other; The first main body slides in conjunction with a slide rail along a second direction; the energy storage system also includes: The second connector assembly includes a pluggable second adapter terminal and a second connecting terminal.

[0027] This application provides an installation platform and an energy storage system, which will be described in detail below.

Furthermore, in the following embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own emphasis; parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to in the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0028] Using a container to house multiple battery clusters of an energy storage system can lead to an inability to cope with the ever-changing capacity requirements of the energy storage system: if the container size is too small, it will not be able to meet the needs of future expansion of the energy storage system; if the container size is too large, it will lead to excessive waste of space and container costs.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1This is an exploded view of the energy storage system provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a front view of the battery cabinet 2 in the energy storage system provided in this application embodiment. The energy storage system includes a support base 1, a battery cabinet 2, and a first connector assembly 3. The support base 1 has a first wall 11 and a second wall 12 disposed opposite each other in a first direction Z. A slide rail 13 extending along a second direction X is provided on the first wall 11, and the first direction Z and the second direction X are perpendicular. The battery cabinet 2 is supported on the first wall 11 and includes a cabinet body 21 and battery clusters 22 disposed within the cabinet body 21. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 The first connector assembly 3 includes a first adapter terminal 31 and a first connection terminal 32 for pluggable connection. The first adapter terminal 31 includes a first body portion 311 and an electrical connector 312 disposed on the first body portion 311. The first body portion 311 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 13. The first connection terminal 32 includes a first body portion 321 and a conductive member 322 disposed on the first body portion 321. The first body portion 321 is fixedly disposed on the end face of the cabinet 21 facing the first wall surface 11. The electrical connector 312 is electrically connected to the battery cluster 22 through the conductive member 322.

[0030] In this solution, a slide rail 13 extending along the second direction X is provided on the first wall surface 11 of the support base 1. The first adapter terminal 31 in the first connector assembly 3 forms a sliding engagement with the slide rail 13 through its first body part 311, allowing the first adapter terminal 31 to freely adjust its position along the second direction X, thereby adapting to the positional differences of the first connection terminals 32 on different battery cabinets 2. That is, whether it is a layout adjustment caused by changes in the number of battery cabinets 2 or a structural difference in the battery cabinets 2 of different specifications, precise docking can be achieved through positional compensation of the first adapter terminal 31, thereby improving the compatibility of the support base 1 of the energy storage system with multi-specification battery cabinets 2 and multi-number battery cabinet 2 combination scenarios, and thus improving the adaptability flexibility of the energy storage system in multi-scenario applications. At the same time, it can also reduce the positional accuracy requirements of the first connection terminals 32 of the battery cabinets 2, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost and maintenance complexity of the pure system.

[0031] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4A first pipe component 313 is provided on the first adapter terminal 31. A first pipe connector 323 is provided on the first connection terminal 32. The first pipe component 313 is fluidly connected to the liquid pipeline in the battery cabinet 2 through the first pipe connector 323. This achieves integrated connection of electrical power transmission and fluid medium transport. During the insertion of the first adapter terminal 31 and the first connection terminal 32, not only can the electrical connection between the battery cluster 22 and the carrier 1 be completed simultaneously, but the connection of fluid (such as coolant, fire-fighting fluid, or other functional fluid) pathways can also be completed simultaneously. This integrated design effectively reduces the number of independent interfaces and avoids the problems of dispersed arrangement of electrical connectors and fluid first pipe connectors 323, multiple insertions and removals, and misalignment in traditional solutions, thereby significantly improving the efficiency, accuracy, and overall structural compactness of the system connection.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first adapter terminal 31 integrates an electrical connector 312 and a first conduit 313, and the first connection terminal 32 that is connected to it integrates a corresponding conductive element 322 and a first conduit connector 323. By setting the electrical connector 312 and the first conduit 313 on the first adapter terminal 31, and setting the conductive element 322 and the first conduit connector 323 on the first connection terminal 32, the conductive element 322 is electrically connected to the battery cluster 22 and the electrical connector 312, while the first conduit connector 323 and the first conduit 313 are fluidly connected, thus forming a multifunctional docking structure that integrates electrical connection and fluid connection functions.

[0033] In practical use, through the precise connection and fluid communication between the first pipe connector 323 and the first pipe fitting 313, the energy storage system can establish a stable fluid transmission channel between the battery cabinet 2 and the support base 1, providing a reliable medium delivery path for the thermal management of the battery cluster 22. For example, through this fluid passage, coolant (such as water coolant, ethylene glycol solution, etc.) can be introduced into the cabinet 21, thereby promptly removing the heat generated by the battery cluster 22 when it is operating at high power or the ambient temperature is high, effectively controlling the battery operating temperature, preventing overheating, and improving the battery's charging and discharging efficiency, cycle life, and operational safety. In extreme cases, this fluid passage can also be used to deliver fire-fighting fluid (such as deionized water, fire extinguishing agent, etc.), rapidly injecting fire-fighting medium to cool or extinguish the fire when the battery cluster 22 experiences thermal runaway or fire risk, thereby improving the system's safety protection capabilities and reducing the risk of accidents.

[0034] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the first connector assembly 3 further includes a locking structure 33, which includes a first locking member 331 and a second locking member 332 that cooperate with each other. The first locking member 331 is disposed on the first main body portion 321, and the second locking member 332 is disposed on the first body portion 311. The second locking member 332 can selectively unlock or lock with the first locking member 331, thereby improving the connection reliability of the first connector assembly 3 in the docking state. Specifically, the locking structure 33 can provide clear docking state feedback and operation control capabilities. That is, operators or automated equipment can intuitively judge whether the first connector assembly 3 has been fully docked and locked by observing or sensing the locking state of the locking member. When the first locking member 331 and the second locking member 332 are in the locked state, it indicates that the first connector assembly 3 is stably docked, and at least one of the electrical connection and fluid connection is in a stable working state, thereby improving the connection reliability of the first connector assembly 3 in the docking state.

[0035] Furthermore, in energy storage systems, especially those used in vehicle-mounted, battery swapping, and industrial energy storage applications, the equipment is often in dynamic working environments or under frequent operation conditions. Without a reliable locking mechanism, the first connector assembly 3 is highly susceptible to poor contact, power outages, or even instantaneous disconnection, leading to system malfunctions or safety hazards. By implementing the locking structure 33, such problems can be effectively avoided, ensuring the continuous reliability of electrical and fluid connections during long-term operation or in harsh environments. When maintenance, battery box replacement, or system disconnection is required, the second locking element 332 can be manually or automatically unlocked from the first locking element 331, thereby safely and controllably separating the first connector assembly 3 and preventing damage caused by forced insertion or removal.

[0036] Please combine Figures 3 to 6 The first locking member 331 includes a locking tongue 3311, which is retractably disposed on the outer periphery of the first connecting terminal 32. The second locking member 332 is provided with a locking hole 3321. During the insertion of the first connecting terminal 32 and the first adapter terminal 31, the locking tongue 3311 can retract toward the interior of the first main body 321 under the compression of the hole wall of the locking hole 3321. When the first connecting terminal 32 and the first adapter terminal 31 are assembled and connected, the locking tongue 3311 re-extends out of the outer periphery of the first main body 321 and abuts against the limiting end face 3322 of the second locking member 332 facing away from the cabinet 21.

[0037] For example, when the first connecting terminal 32 is inserted into the first adapter terminal 31, the locking tongue 3311 is first squeezed by the wall of the locking hole 3321, overcoming the elastic force and contracting into the first connecting terminal 32, so that the connection process is smooth and unobstructed. When the locking tongue 3311 moves to pass through the locking hole 3321, the locking tongue 3311 automatically pops out under the elastic force and stops at the limiting end face 3322 on the side of the second locking member 332 facing away from the cabinet 21, thereby realizing the mechanical locking of the first connecting terminal 32 and the first adapter terminal 31. Thus, the locking structure 33 realizes that the locking tongue 3311 automatically contracts under pressure during the insertion process to ensure smooth docking, and the locking tongue 3311 automatically pops out and stops to lock after the insertion is in place to prevent loosening.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the locking hole 3321 is disposed through the second locking member 332 along the first direction Z, and includes a connecting receiving hole 3321a and a clearance hole 3321b. The receiving hole 3321a is used to accommodate the first main body portion 321, and the clearance hole 3321b is located on the outer periphery of the receiving hole 3321a and is configured to allow the locking tongue 3311 to pass through when aligned with it. Since the size of the clearance hole 3321b allows the locking tongue 3311 in the extended state to pass through, the locking tongue 3311 that is stopped on one side of the limiting end face 3322 of the second locking member 332 can be smoothly disengaged, thereby releasing the locking of the first locking member 331 and the second locking member 332, and realizing the safe separation of the first connector assembly 3. The functional divisions of the receiving hole 3321a and the avoidance hole 3321b are clearly defined. The receiving hole 3321a focuses on limiting and maintaining the locked state, while the avoidance hole 3321b focuses on guiding and avoiding the unlocked state. The receiving hole 3321a is designed as a limiting space that closely matches the retracted state of the locking tongue 3311, which can effectively stop the locking tongue 3311 and prevent it from retracting along the first direction Z, thereby firmly locking the first connecting terminal 32 in the first adapter terminal 31.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a wrench portion 324 is provided on the outer periphery of the first main body 321, and the wrench portion 324 is located on the side of the first locking member 331 facing the cabinet 21. The wrench portion 324 serves as an operation point for manual or tool-assisted unlocking. When it is necessary to disconnect the first connector assembly 3, the operator can directly apply a rotational force (or apply force with the help of a tool) to the first connecting terminal 32 through the wrench portion 324, driving the first connecting terminal 32 to rotate around the axial direction. Because the locking tongue 3311 and the clearance hole 3321b of the locking hole 3321 on the first adapter terminal 31 have a specific spatial correspondence (the clearance hole 3321b is located on the outer periphery of the receiving hole 3321a, and the locking tongue 3311 can only pass through when aligned at a specific angle), the wrench part 324 is set on the side of the locking tongue 3311 facing the cabinet 21, so that the operator can more intuitively control the rotation angle and accurately adjust the relative position of the locking tongue 3311 and the clearance hole 3321b. When the first connecting terminal 32 is rotated until the locking tongue 3311 and the clearance hole 3321b are aligned, the locking tongue 3311, which was originally stopped on the side of the second locking member 332 facing away from the cabinet 21, can be smoothly disengaged, realizing the rapid separation of the first connector assembly 3.

[0040] For example, the wrench 324 is a convex ring structure surrounding the first main body 321. It not only provides an operating force point but also enhances the overall structural strength of the first connecting terminal 32 in this area. Specifically, when the first connector assembly 3 needs to be disconnected, the operator rotates the convex ring to rotate the first connecting terminal 32 to achieve unlocking and separation. During this process, the annular layout of the convex ring can evenly distribute the applied torsional stress, avoiding localized stress concentration that could damage the body of the first connecting terminal 32. Furthermore, it effectively prevents deformation, loosening, or failure of the core functional components inside the first connecting terminal 32 (such as the conductive element 322 responsible for power transmission, the first pipeline connector 323 for media transport, and other precision structures) due to excessive operating torque. This improves operational convenience while ensuring the long-term reliability and internal functional integrity of the first connector assembly 3. For example, the outer periphery of the wrench 324 may be provided with a milled surface structure or anti-slip texture to increase the contact area or roughness between the tool and the wrench 324, thereby making it easier to rotate the first connecting terminal 32.

[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 3The first connector assembly 3 also includes a positioning structure 34, which includes a first positioning part and a second positioning part that are connected in a mating manner. The first positioning part is disposed on the second locking member 332, and the second positioning part is disposed on the first body part 311. The first positioning part and the second positioning part are positioned and connected to limit the relative displacement of the second locking member 332 and the first adapter terminal 31 in a direction perpendicular to the first direction Z. This ensures that each functional component only contacts and engages in the preset insertion and removal direction (first direction Z), avoiding the generation of lateral (direction perpendicular to the insertion and removal direction) impact force. This effectively protects the first adapter terminal 31 and the first connecting terminal 32 from accidental damage, extends the service life of the first connector assembly 3, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0042] Meanwhile, the cooperation between the first and second positioning parts ensures that the second locking member 332 and the first adapter terminal 31 maintain strict synchronization during relative movement along the second direction X. Specifically, when the first connecting terminal 32 advances along the first adapter terminal 31 along the first direction Z, the positioning structure 34 naturally guides the second locking member 332 and the first adapter terminal 31 to maintain a coaxial sliding trajectory, allowing the first connecting terminal 32 to accurately insert into the preset functional docking area within the first adapter terminal 31 as it smoothly passes through the second locking member 332. For example, one of the first and second positioning parts is a positioning post 341, and the other is a positioning hole for the positioning post 341 to be inserted.

[0043] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, a slide rail 13 extending along the second direction X is provided on the first wall surface 11. The first adapter terminal 31 slides and engages with the slide rail 13 along the second direction X. The slide rail 13 provides a clear movement path constraint for the first body part 311, so that it can only slide in a straight line along the second direction X. This avoids the first adapter terminal 31 from tilting, shaking or displacing in an unexpected direction during the adjustment process, and ensures that it always moves accurately along the preset trajectory when adjusting its position.

[0044] For example, the first wall surface 11 is provided with a groove 131 for forming the slide rail 13. All the first adapter terminals 31 are embedded in the groove 131, and during sliding, they are tightly engaged with the inner wall of the groove 131 to form a stable support structure. Furthermore, the presence of the groove 131 can protect the first adapter terminals 31, preventing them from being accidentally bumped, squeezed, or damaged during use. At the same time, it can reduce their chance of direct contact with the external environment, lowering the risk of connection failure due to external factors, and improving the safety and stability of the first connector assembly 3.

[0045] In some embodiments, the battery cabinet 2 includes a sealed structure disposed within the cabinet body 21 to effectively isolate external environmental interference and comprehensively enhance the protective capability of the cabinet body 21. The battery box frame adopts an innovative design combining sheet metal components and a structural frame, thereby improving the load-bearing strength of the cabinet body 21 and increasing the heat dissipation area through optimized structural layout, ensuring the thermal management needs of the battery cluster 22 during efficient operation. At the same time, each battery cabinet 2 is equipped with an independent fire suppression system within its cabinet body 21, which can accurately match the type of extinguishing agent and release strategy according to different abnormal conditions such as overheating and short circuits, achieving graded and precise prevention and control, eliminating safety hazards from the source and effectively suppressing the spread of fire.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fire protection system includes detection components such as smoke detectors 14, temperature sensors 15, and combustible gas detectors 16 installed inside the cabinet 21. The system also includes fire extinguishing piping installed within the cabinet 21, sprinklers installed on the piping, and a storage tank containing fire extinguishing agent. Each battery cabinet 2 has an independent fire extinguishing piping made of stainless steel with an inner diameter of 25 mm. When a battery cabinet 2 malfunctions, the corresponding fire extinguishing agent can be sprayed through the solenoid valve controlled by the solenoid valve, effectively eliminating safety hazards and preventing fires.

[0047] like Figure 7 As shown, the battery cabinet 2 also includes an explosion venting structure 23 located at the top of the cabinet 21. Serving as a pressure relief channel at the top of the cabinet 21, the explosion venting structure 23 can rapidly and directionally discharge accumulated high-pressure gas to the outside of the cabinet 21 when the internal pressure reaches a preset threshold through specific pressure relief designs (such as explosion-proof valves, pressure relief diaphragms, and ruptureable covers). Furthermore, a power converter 24 is also installed inside the cabinet 21. The power converter 24 is responsible for bidirectional power conversion between the battery cluster 22 (DC power) and the power grid or load (AC power). Integrating the power converter 24 directly into the cabinet 21 forms an integrated design of the battery cluster 22 and the power converter 24, simplifying the architecture of the entire energy storage system.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, please continue to refer to Figure 1The first wall surface 11 is provided with two slide rails 13, which are spaced apart in the third direction Y. The first direction Z, the second direction X, and the third direction Y are perpendicular to each other. The first body part 311 slides with one slide rail 13 along the second direction X. The energy storage system also includes a second connector assembly, which includes a pluggable second adapter terminal and a second connection terminal. The second adapter terminal includes a second body part and a second pipeline component disposed on the second body part. The second body part slides with the other slide rail 13 along the second direction X. The second connection terminal includes a second main body part and a second pipeline connector disposed on the second main body part. The second main body part is disposed on the end face of the cabinet 21 facing the first wall surface 11. The second pipeline component is in fluid communication with the liquid pipeline inside the battery cabinet 2 through the second pipeline connector.

[0049] In other words, the first adapter terminal 31 in the first connector assembly 3 is slidably mounted on one of the slide rails 13, and the electrical connection 312 of the first adapter terminal 31 is electrically connected to the battery cluster 22 through the conductive part 322 of the first connection terminal 32. The first connector assembly 3 is used for power transmission. Meanwhile, the second pipe fitting of the second adapter terminal in the second connector assembly is fluidly connected to the liquid pipes (such as coolant, fire-fighting fluid, etc.) inside the cabinet 21 through the second pipe connector of the second connection terminal, realizing the transmission of the fluid medium. The second connector assembly is used for fluid (coolant / fire-fighting fluid) management. Thus, physical spatial isolation between the electrical connection and the fluid connection in the third direction Y is achieved, ensuring that the transmission paths of electrical energy and fluid medium are independent and do not interfere with each other, improving the accuracy and reliability of the first connector assembly 3 and the second connector assembly during the docking process.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first wall surface 11 is provided with two slide grooves 131 for forming two slide rails 13. The first adapter terminal 31 is completely embedded in one slide groove 131, and the second adapter terminal is completely embedded in the other slide groove 131. The second connector assembly also includes the aforementioned locking structure 33. The locking structure 33 has the same technical features and effects in the second connector assembly as in the first connector assembly 3, and will not be described again here.

[0051] In other embodiments, the first connector assembly 3 includes multiple sets, and the energy storage system also includes an integrated compartment 4, which is located on one side of the battery cabinet 2 in the second direction X. Electrical components are housed within the integrated compartment 4. Specifically, in the first set of first connector assemblies 3, the electrical connector 312 of the first adapter terminal 31 is electrically connected to the battery cluster 22 via a conductive element 322. In the second set of first connector assemblies 3, the electrical connector 312 of the first adapter terminal 31 is electrically connected to the electrical components via a conductive element 322. That is, the first set of first connector assemblies 3 is directly associated with the battery cabinet 2, while the second set of first connector assemblies 3 interfaces with the electrical components of the integrated compartment 4. The functions of the two sets of first connector assemblies 3 are clearly defined and independent. The integrated compartment 4 integrates equipment such as converters and monitoring systems, and is integrated with the battery cabinet 2, improving the integration of the energy storage system and saving floor space.

[0052] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application also provides an installation platform, which includes a support base 1 and a first adapter terminal 31. The support base 1 has a first wall surface 11 and a second wall surface 12 disposed opposite each other in a first direction Z. A slide rail 13 extending along a second direction X is provided on the first wall surface 11, and the first direction Z and the second direction X are perpendicular. The first wall surface 11 is used to support the battery cabinet 2, and a first connection terminal 32 is fixedly disposed on the end face of the cabinet body 21 facing the first wall surface 11. The first adapter terminal 31 includes a first body portion 311 and an electrical connector 312 disposed on the first body portion 311. The first body portion 311 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 13, and the electrical connector 312 is used to electrically connect with the conductive element 322 in the first connection terminal 32. The first wall surface 11 serves as the support and electrical connection surface of the battery cabinet 2, directly connecting to the main structure of the battery cabinet 2. The first adapter terminal 31 is slidably disposed on the first wall surface 11 along the second direction X, providing a position adaptive adjustment capability for the electrical connection between the battery cabinet 2 and the support base 1. Specifically, the first adapter terminal 31 can precisely match the actual position of the first connection terminal 32 of the battery cabinet 2 by sliding and adjusting its own position. Even if the first connection terminal 32 has a slight offset, the accurate alignment between the two can be achieved through the sliding compensation of the first adapter terminal 31, ensuring reliable contact of the electrical connection between the two.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, a first conduit 313 is also provided on the first body part 311. When both the electrical connector 312 and the conduit are provided on the first body part 311, the functions of power transmission and fluid medium transportation are integrated into the same first adapter terminal 31, which improves the efficiency of system docking and the compactness of the overall structure.

[0054] In other embodiments, the first body portion 311 has multiple parts, with some parts of the first body portion 311 having electrical connectors 312 and others having first conduit components 313. That is, some of the first adapter terminals 31 only have electrical connectors 312 for power transmission, while others only have first conduit components 313 for fluid medium transport, which to some extent avoids interference between the transmission paths of electrical energy and the fluid medium.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the installation platform also includes a second locking member 332, which is connected to the first body part 311 and can slide synchronously with the first body part 311. The second locking member 332 is used to lock or unlock the first adapter terminal 31 and the first connecting terminal 32. That is, the second locking member 332 slides synchronously with the first adapter terminal 31. This means that while the position of the first adapter terminal 31 is adjusted (e.g., by sliding the first adapter terminal 31 to make it accurately dock with the first connecting terminal 32), the second locking member 332 can move along with it. After the first adapter terminal 31 reaches the correct docking position, it is directly locked to the first connecting terminal 32 by the second locking member 332, making the entire docking process more coherent and efficient.

[0056] It should be noted that the second locking member 332 may adopt the same technical features as the aforementioned second locking member 332 to achieve the same technical effect, which will not be repeated here.
