Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage equipment technology, and in particular to a support device and energy storage system. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, existing balcony-mounted solar energy storage products typically have feet or casters at the bottom. Feet, placed on the ground, ensure stability but cannot move the product. Casters, while allowing movement, cannot remain stationary and may shift if accidentally pushed. The traditional design of these products causes interference between casters and feet, making it impossible to install both on the same product simultaneously, thus reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The first objective of this utility model is to provide a support device, which includes two parts: feet and casters. The relative positions of the feet and casters can be adjusted according to the user's needs to switch between the stationary state and the driving state of the energy storage device, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0004] The second objective of this invention is to provide an energy storage system that can easily switch between a static state and a driving state, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model discloses a support device for supporting an energy storage device. The support device includes: a fixed sleeve, one end of which is connected to the energy storage device, and an adjustment part on the fixed sleeve; a foot cup fitted onto the fixed sleeve; and a caster installed inside the foot cup and connected to the fixed sleeve. The fixed sleeve has an adjustment part, and at least one of the foot cup and the caster has an adjustment groove. The adjustment part is adjustable within the adjustment groove, allowing the caster to have a walking state extending out of the foot cup and a retracted state.

[0007] In some embodiments, the adjusting part includes a first adjusting part and a second adjusting part, the first adjusting part and the second adjusting part being arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed sleeve, and the adjusting groove includes a first adjusting groove and a second adjusting groove, the first adjusting groove being disposed on the foot cup and cooperating with the first adjusting part.

[0008] In some specific embodiments, in the stowed state, the caster has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the plane containing the lowest point of the caster is higher than the bottom surface of the foot cup. In the second position, the plane containing the lowest point of the caster is flush with the bottom surface of the foot cup. Adjusting the relative position of the first adjusting part with respect to the first adjusting groove allows the caster to switch between the stowed state and the walking state. Adjusting the relative position of the second adjusting part with respect to the second adjusting groove allows the caster to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0009] In some specific embodiments, there are multiple first adjustment parts and multiple second adjustment parts, which are arranged alternately along the circumference of the fixed sleeve.

[0010] In some more specific embodiments, the foot cup includes a conical cover and a connecting cylinder, the connecting cylinder being sleeved on the fixed sleeve, the conical cover covering the caster, and the connecting cylinder having a plurality of clearance grooves for avoiding the second adjustment part.

[0011] In some specific embodiments, both the first adjusting part and the second adjusting part include a mating section, an adjusting section and an operating section connected in sequence. The diameter of the adjusting section is smaller than the diameter of the mating section and the operating section. Both the first adjusting groove and the second adjusting groove include a sliding groove and mating grooves located on both sides of the sliding groove along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve. The adjusting section can slide relative to the sliding groove, and the mating section is used to mate with the mating groove.

[0012] In some more specific embodiments, the mating section is connected to the fixed sleeve by an elastic element.

[0013] In some embodiments, the caster includes: a bracket, the bracket including an axle and an adjustment bracket connected to both ends of the axle, the adjustment bracket being provided with the adjustment groove; and a wheel body, the wheel body being rotatably mounted on the axle.

[0014] In some embodiments, the top wall of the fixing sleeve is provided with at least one mounting ear, and the mounting member passes through the mounting ear and is connected to the energy storage device to fix the support device on the energy storage device.

[0015] This utility model also discloses an energy storage system, including the aforementioned support device and energy storage device, wherein there are multiple support devices, and the multiple support devices are disposed at the bottom of the energy storage device.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the support device of this utility model are as follows: Because the fixed sleeve is equipped with an adjustment part, and at least one of the foot cups and casters has an adjustment groove, during actual operation, the user can adjust the position of the adjustment part within the adjustment groove to adjust the position of the caster relative to the foot cup. This allows the caster to extend or retract into the foot cup. When the caster is extended, the energy storage device can move under the user's push; when the caster is retracted, the energy storage device remains stationary. Furthermore, because the caster is retracted, the phenomenon of accidental activation causing the caster to move the energy storage device, as seen in existing technologies, is effectively avoided. During use, the user can adjust the relative position of the foot cups and casters as needed to switch between a stationary and a pushing state for the energy storage device, improving user satisfaction.

[0017] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0029] This utility model discloses a support device 100, which is used to support an energy storage device 200. (Reference) Figure 1As shown, the support device 100 includes a fixed sleeve 110, a foot cup 120, and a caster 130. One end of the fixed sleeve 110 is connected to the energy storage device 200. The fixed sleeve 110 is provided with an adjustment part 111. The foot cup 120 is fitted onto the fixed sleeve 110, and the caster 130 is installed inside the foot cup 120 and connected to the fixed sleeve 110. The fixed sleeve 110 is provided with an adjustment part 111, and at least one of the foot cup 120 and the caster 130 is provided with an adjustment groove 140. The adjustment part 111 is adjustablely disposed in the adjustment groove 140 so that the caster 130 has a walking state with the foot cup 120 extended and a retracted state with the foot cup 120 retracted. Understandably, since the fixed sleeve 110 is provided with an adjusting part 111, and at least one of the foot cup 120 and caster 130 is provided with an adjusting groove 140, during actual operation, the user can adjust the position of the adjusting part 111 within the adjusting groove 140 to adjust the position of the caster 130 relative to the foot cup 120. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the caster 130 can extend or retract within the foot cup 120. When the caster 130 is extended, the energy storage device 200 can move under the user's push. When the caster 130 is retracted within the foot cup 120, the energy storage device 200 remains in a stationary position. Furthermore, because the caster 130 is retracted within the foot cup 120, the phenomenon of the energy storage device 200 moving due to accidental activation, as seen in existing technologies, is effectively avoided. During use, the user can adjust the relative positions of the foot cup 120 and the caster 130 as needed, switching between the stationary and pushing states of the energy storage device 200, thus improving user satisfaction. In addition, since the caster 130 can be hidden within the foot cup 120, the interference between the caster 130 and the foot cup 120, as seen in traditional energy storage devices, is eliminated.

[0030] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this utility model, the adjustment groove 140 can be set according to actual needs. In some embodiments, the adjustment groove 140 is only provided on the foot cup 120; in some embodiments, the adjustment groove 140 is provided on the caster 130; in some embodiments, the adjustment groove 140 can be provided on both the caster 130 and the foot cup 120. Specifically, refer to... Figures 1-4As shown, the adjustment part 111 includes a first adjustment part 1111 and a second adjustment part 1112. The first adjustment part 1111 and the second adjustment part 1112 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed sleeve 110. The adjustment groove 140 includes a first adjustment groove 141 and a second adjustment groove 142. The first adjustment groove 141 is provided on the foot cup 120 and cooperates with the first adjustment part 1111. It is understandable that if the adjustment groove 140 is only provided on the foot cup 120 or the caster 130, the energy storage device 200 may easily tip over during the actual switching process. In this embodiment, the adjustment groove 140 includes a first adjustment groove 141 and a second adjustment groove 142 provided on the foot cup 120 and the caster 130. During actual operation, in the walking state, the position of the first adjustment part 1111 relative to the first adjustment groove 141 is adjusted so that the foot cup 120 moves downward so that the caster 130 is hidden inside the foot cup 120. In the storage state, the position of the second adjustment part 1112 relative to the second adjustment groove 142 is adjusted so that the foot cup 120 extends out of the caster 130 to switch to the walking state. In this way, the energy storage device 200 can always maintain stability during the switching process and avoid the phenomenon of the energy storage device 200 tipping over.

[0031] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in the stowed state, the caster 130 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the plane containing the lowest point of the caster 130 is higher than the bottom surface of the foot cup 120. In the second position, the plane containing the lowest point of the caster 130 is flush with the bottom surface of the foot cup 120. Adjusting the relative position of the first adjustment part 1111 relative to the first adjustment groove 141 allows the caster 130 to switch between the stowed state and the walking state. Adjusting the relative position of the second adjustment part 1112 relative to the second adjustment groove 142 allows the caster 130 to switch between the first position and the second position. Understandably, since the caster 130 has a first position and a second position when in the storage state, in actual operation, when the caster 130 needs to be switched from the walking state to the storage state, the position of the first adjustment part 1111 relative to the first adjustment groove 141 is adjusted so that the foot cup 120 moves downward and hides the caster 130 inside the foot cup 120. After the foot cup 120 is adjusted, the caster 130 is in the second position of the storage state. The caster 130 is still in contact with the support surface (such as the ground), which will increase the probability of the energy storage device 200 accidentally moving. At this time, the position of the second adjustment part 1112 relative to the second adjustment groove 142 is adjusted so that the caster 130 moves from the second position to the first position. This ensures that the caster 130 does not contact the support surface in the storage state, reducing the probability of the energy storage device 200 accidentally moving. Conversely, in the retracted state, adjusting the position of the second adjustment part 1112 relative to the second adjustment groove 142 causes the caster 130 to move from the first position to the second position. Adjusting the position of the first adjustment part 1111 relative to the first adjustment groove 141 causes the foot cup 120 to move upward, exposing the caster 130. This ensures that during the transition from the retracted state to the walking state, one of the caster 130 and the foot cup 120 is always in contact with the support surface, further reducing the probability of the energy storage device 200 tipping over.

[0032] Optional, see reference Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple first adjustment parts 1111 and multiple second adjustment parts 1112, which are arranged alternately along the circumference of the fixed sleeve 110. It can be understood that having multiple first adjustment parts 1111 ensures the adjustment stability of the foot cup 120, and having multiple second adjustment parts 1112 ensures the adjustment stability of the caster 130. The alternating arrangement of the first adjustment parts 1111 and the second adjustment parts 1112 along the circumference of the fixed sleeve 110 prevents interference between the caster 130 and the foot cup 120 during adjustment, facilitating user adjustment.

[0033] refer to Figure 1As shown, in some more specific embodiments, the foot cup 120 includes a conical cover 121 and a connecting cylinder 122. The connecting cylinder 122 is sleeved on the fixed sleeve 110, and the conical cover 121 covers the caster 130. The connecting cylinder 122 is provided with a plurality of clearance grooves 1221, which are used to avoid the second adjustment part 1112. It can be understood that the conical cover 121 on the caster 130 of the foot cup 120 can ensure that the inner sidewall of the foot cup 120 will not touch the caster 130 during the adjustment of the foot cup 120 and the caster 130, avoiding jamming during the adjustment process and improving user satisfaction. Multiple clearance grooves 1221 are provided on the connecting cylinder 122, and the second adjustment part 1112 can directly cooperate with the second adjustment groove 142 without passing through the foot cup 120. On the one hand, it is convenient to operate the second adjustment part 1112 and make it convenient to adjust the caster 130. On the other hand, it can avoid the phenomenon that the second adjustment part 1112 is stuck due to the foot cup 120 obstructing the movement of the second adjustment part 1112 relative to the second adjustment groove 142.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 As shown, both the first adjusting section 1111 and the second adjusting section 1112 include a mating section 1101, an adjusting section 1102, and an operating section 1103 connected in sequence. The diameter of the adjusting section 1102 is smaller than the diameters of the mating section 1101 and the operating section 1103. Both the first adjusting groove 141 and the second adjusting groove 142 include a sliding groove 1401 and mating grooves 1402 located on both sides of the sliding groove 1401 along the axial direction of the fixed sleeve 110. The adjusting section 1102 can slide relative to the sliding groove 1401, and the mating section 1101 is used to mate with the mating groove 1402. Understandably, in actual operation, the user operates the operating segment 1103 to engage the adjusting segment 1102 with the adjusting groove 140, allowing the entire adjusting part 111 to slide relative to the adjusting groove 140. When the adjusting segment 1102 slides to the position corresponding to the mating groove 1402, the operating segment 1103 is operated again to engage the mating segment 1101 within the mating groove 1402, completing the adjustment. This structure offers good stability and convenient adjustment. Furthermore, because the diameter of the adjusting segment 1102 is smaller than the diameter of the mating segment 1101, after adjustment, the mating segment 1101 is locked within the mating groove 1402, rather than moving into the sliding groove 1401. This ensures the stability of the first adjusting part 1111 and the second adjusting part 1112 after adjustment, thereby guaranteeing the adjustment stability of the foot cup 120 and the caster 130.

[0035] Optionally, the mating section 1101 and the fixed sleeve 110 are connected by an elastic element (not shown in the figure). Understandably, in actual operation, simply pressing the operating section 1103 retracts it, allowing the adjusting section 1102 to engage with the adjusting groove 140, enabling the entire adjusting part 111 to slide relative to the adjusting groove 140. After adjustment, releasing the operating section 1103 allows it to automatically spring back, eliminating the need for the operator to remove the operating section 1103, making operation very convenient. It should be noted that the elastic element can be a spring or a sheet spring, depending on actual needs, as long as it can drive the adjusting part 111 to spring back.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the caster 130 includes a bracket 131 and a wheel body 132. The bracket 131 includes an axle and an adjustment bracket connected to both ends of the axle. The adjustment bracket is provided with an adjustment groove 140. The wheel body 132 is rotatably mounted on the axle. It can be understood that the caster 130, including the bracket 131 and the wheel body 132, has a relatively simple structure and is easy to install. It does not affect the normal rotation of the wheel body 132 and allows for convenient adjustment of the caster 130.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the top wall of the fixing sleeve 110 is provided with at least one mounting ear 112. The mounting member passes through the mounting ear 112 and is connected to the energy storage device 200 to fix the support device 100 to the energy storage device 200. It is understood that fixing the support device 100 to the energy storage device 200 through the mounting member facilitates the installation of the entire support device 100 and improves the installation stability of the support device 100, thereby ensuring that the support device 100 can stably support the energy storage device 200. It should be noted that the mounting member can be a screw, rivet, or pin, etc., depending on actual needs. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, the entire support device 100 can be connected to the energy storage device 200 through a snap-fit ​​structure or welding.

[0038] This utility model also discloses an energy storage system, including the aforementioned support device 100 and energy storage device 200. There are multiple support devices 100, and the multiple support devices 100 are located at the bottom of the energy storage device 200.
