Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery rack technology, specifically a modular battery rack. Background Technology

[0002] A battery rack is a frame structure used to place, support, and fix batteries. It is usually made of metal materials such as steel and aluminum. It has multiple functions: it can provide stable support for the battery pack, prevent the batteries from shifting, shaking, or being damaged during use, and ensure their stable operation. It can also promote heat dissipation of the battery pack. Through the reasonable design of ventilation holes and other structures, it can improve heat dissipation efficiency, extend battery life, facilitate the arrangement and connection of battery modules to form battery packs that meet different needs, facilitate assembly and expansion, protect the battery pack from external impacts, vibrations, short circuits and other accidental damage, provide safety for operators, and its open structure also facilitates the inspection, maintenance, replacement and monitoring of batteries. Modular battery racks are battery mounting frames composed of connectable components. They generally use standardized metal profiles or plates, connectors, fasteners, etc., and can be flexibly assembled into different sizes and shapes to meet the installation and fixing needs of various batteries. They are characterized by high flexibility, good versatility, easy installation and maintenance, and high structural stability. They are widely used in many fields such as industrial equipment, communication base stations, energy storage power stations, medical equipment, backup power systems, and electric vehicles. In the manufacturing process of automotive batteries, in order to ensure that the batteries can store more power, the batteries are relatively heavy.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: A modular battery rack includes a base plate 1 and a side frame 2. The upper end of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to the side frame 2 by bolts. A short side rail 3 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side frame 2. A connecting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the side frame 2 by bolts. The outer side of the side frame 2 is in close contact with a long side rail assembly 5. The long side rail assembly 5 includes a long side rail 51. An adjustment assembly 52 is slidably connected to the inner side of the fixing ear plates at both ends of the long side rail 51. The adjustment assembly 52 includes a rotating cylinder 521. A fixing pressure ring 522 is slidably connected to the outer side of the rotating cylinder 521. A knob 523 is fixedly connected to the end of the fixing pressure ring 522 away from the center of the rotating cylinder 521. A screw 524 is fixedly connected to the side of the knob 523 near the fixing pressure ring 522. An adjustment block 525 is spirally connected to the outer side of the screw 524. A fixing shaft 526 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the adjustment block 525. A roller 527 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the fixing shaft 526. A resistance-increasing plate 528 is fixedly connected to the side of the roller 527 near the knob 523.

[0017] As a further implementation of this solution, the side frame 2 includes a side frame body 21. A sealing cover 22 is engaged on the inner side of the upper end of the side frame body 21. A sliding groove 23 is opened on the inner side of the side frame body 21. There are two side frame bodies 21 in total. The side frame bodies 21 are symmetrically arranged on the upper side of the base plate 1. Each side frame body 21 has two sealing covers 22 at its upper end. The side frame body 21 is fixedly connected to the load-bearing rod 6 by bolts that pass through its inner side. Four load-bearing rods 6 are evenly distributed on the same horizontal plane of the side frame body 21. Each pair of symmetrical sliding grooves 23 opened on the inner side of the side frame body 21 is located below the fixed rod on its inner side, which helps to improve the overall stability and load-bearing capacity of the battery rack. The bolt connection can effectively fix the load-bearing rod 6, providing stable support for the battery. At the same time, the sealing cover 22 can protect the internal structure of the side frame body 21 and prevent foreign objects from entering. As a further implementation of this solution, the short side rail 3 is set below the fixed rod in the main body of the side frame 21. There are two connecting rods 4 in total. The connecting rods 4 are symmetrically set between the two main bodies of the side frame 21. The two main bodies of the side frame 21 are fixedly connected together by the two connecting rods 4 with their upper ends on the same horizontal plane. The connecting rods 4 are parallel to each long side rail 51. The short side rail 3 is set below the fixed rod in the main body of the side frame 21 to play a certain protective role. The connecting rods 4 are used to connect the two main bodies of the side frame 21, enhance the rigidity and integrity of the battery rack, prevent the main body of the side frame 21 from deforming during use, ensure the stability of the battery rack structure, and ensure the stability of the battery placement. As a further implementation of this solution, the number of long side rails 51 is the same as the number of short side rails 3. The long side rails 51 slide outward on the opposite side of the two side frame main bodies 21 and on the same side. The length of the long side rails 51 is the same as the length of the load-bearing rod 6. The two ends of the long side rails 51 are respectively on the same vertical plane with the opposite side of the two side frame main bodies 21. The number of long side rails 51 is the same as that of short side rails 3, which facilitates the formation of a symmetrical and stable frame structure. Its length is the same as that of the load-bearing rod 6 and its two ends are on the same vertical plane with the opposite side of the side frame main body 21. It can cooperate with the short side rails 3 to form a complete fence, effectively preventing the battery from sliding off the side and improving the safety of the battery rack. As a further implementation of this solution, each long side railing 51 has a rotating cylinder 521 installed in one of the two symmetrical holes in the fixing ear plate. The rotating cylinder 521 slides linearly inside the slide groove 23. The side projection shape of the rotating cylinder 521 is "T" shaped. The smallest diameter end of the rotating cylinder 521 is embedded in the groove opened inside the adjusting block 525. The screw 524 is set inside the rotating cylinder 521 to provide stable sliding support for the long side railing 51, making it smoother when adjusting the position. At the same time, the "T" shaped side projection design of the rotating cylinder 521 can prevent the rotating cylinder 521 from falling out of the slide groove 23, ensuring a reliable connection between the long side railing 51 and the side frame body 21. As a further implementation of this solution, a fixing ring 522 is set on the outside of the rotating cylinder 521. The axes of the rotating cylinder 521, the fixing ring 522, the knob 523, and the screw 524 are on the same axis. The end of the fixing ring 522 away from the knob 523 is in close contact with the outside of the long side rail 51. The outer diameter of the fixing ring 522 is half the maximum diameter of the knob 523, which ensures the connection stability between the screw 524 and the adjusting block 525 when the knob 523 rotates. This makes the long side rail 51 bear force evenly during the adjustment process, avoids jamming or damage caused by inconsistent axes, and improves the flexibility and reliability of adjustment. As a further implementation of this solution, the adjusting block 525 has a threaded hole on its inner side, which communicates with a groove on its inner side and penetrates the adjusting block 525. Four fixed shafts 526 are symmetrically distributed on the inner side of each adjusting block 525. Each roller 527 in the adjusting block 525 is in close contact with the inner side of the side frame body 21. A pair of symmetrically arranged resistance-increasing plates 528 are provided on the side of the adjusting block 525 near the long side railing 51. The side of the resistance-increasing plates 528 away from the adjusting block 525 is in close contact with the inner wall of the side frame body 21. The side of the adjusting block 525 away from the resistance-increasing plates 528 is in close contact with the inner wall of the side frame body 21. The gap is such that one end of the screw 524 does not contact the inner wall of the side frame body 21. The distribution and positional relationship of the threaded hole, fixed shaft 526, and roller 527 on the inner side of the adjusting block 525 make the adjusting block 525 more stable when sliding inside the side frame body 21. The roller 527 slides close to the inner wall of the side frame body 21, providing good smoothness. At the same time, the friction-increasing plate 528 is in close contact with the inner wall of the side frame body 21, which can increase the friction between the adjusting block 525 and the side frame body 21, preventing the adjusting block 525 from shifting in the non-adjusting state, ensuring the stability of the long side railing 51 and ensuring the safety of battery placement.

[0018] Workflow: When using this battery rack to hold multiple batteries, the two side frame bodies 21 of the battery rack are symmetrically fixed to the top of the base plate 1 using bolts. Then, the load-bearing rods 6 are placed on the fixing rods of the side frame bodies 21 at different levels, and each load-bearing rod 6 is simultaneously fixed to the two side frame bodies 21 using bolts, so that the load-bearing rods 6 on the same horizontal plane can serve as a platform for placing batteries. Then, the sealing cap 22 that is snapped on the upper end of the side frame body 21 is removed, and a rod with a hook is hooked into the threaded hole on the inner side of the adjusting block 525, and then the adjusting block 525 is placed inside the side frame body 21. At this time, the roller 527 rotatably connected to the inner side of the adjusting block 525 through the fixing shaft 526 is in close contact with the side frame. The inner wall of the main body 21 slides, and the long side railings 51 are installed from bottom to top. The adjusting block 525 is moved to the lowest slide groove 23 position in the main body 21 of the side frame. The knob 523 can then be inserted into the long side railing 51 through the rotating cylinder 521 rotatably connected to the fixing ring 522. Rotating the knob 523 causes it to rotate, thereby causing the screw 524 to be screwed together with the adjusting block 525. Then, another adjusting block 525 corresponding to this adjusting block 525 is installed in the other side frame 21 in the same way. The structural component consisting of another knob 523, fixing ring 522, and screw 524 on the same long side railing 51 can be connected to the other adjusting block 525 in the same way. After the blocks 525 are connected together and the auxiliary rod with the hook is removed, a force can be applied up and down to the long side railing 51. The long side railing 51 can then exert a moving force on the rotating cylinder 521 on its inner side. In turn, the rotating cylinder 521 drives the knob 523 to move through the fixed pressure ring 522. At the same time, the knob 523 drives the adjusting block 525 to rotate inside the side frame body 21 through the screw 524. The roller 527 inside the adjusting block 525 ensures the stability of the adjusting block 525 inside the side frame body 21 while providing good smoothness for the movement of the adjusting block 525. The rotating cylinder 521, which is sleeved on the outside of the screw 524, ensures that its outer side slides tightly against the inner side of the slide groove 23 while providing a certain degree of protection for the threaded screw 524. To prevent wear between the outer thread of the screw 524 and the slide groove 23, all long side rails 51 are installed from bottom to top in the same manner. Then, two connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the two side frame bodies 21 using bolts. This ensures the overall stability of the battery rack frame. When using this modular battery rack, the knob 523 can be rotated so that the fixing ring 522, which is fixed to the knob 523, does not exert pressure on the fixing lugs of the long side rails 51. This also prevents the friction-increasing plate 528 of the adjusting block 525 from generating significant frictional resistance with the inner side of the side frame body 21. This allows adjustment of the vertical plane position of the long side rails 51, ensuring the protective function of the long side rails 51 for the batteries placed on the battery rack.This allows users to easily place or remove batteries from the battery rack shelves.
