Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] See Figure 1-8As shown, the technical solution adopted in this specific embodiment is: a waterproof stacked home energy storage battery pack, including a battery pack composed of multiple battery packs 1 stacked together and an inverter layer 2 stacked on top of the battery pack and electrically connected to the battery pack. The battery pack 1 includes a battery pack body 11 and a battery pack protrusion 12 detachably installed on the top of the battery pack body 11. The bottom surface of the battery pack body 11 is integrally formed with a battery pack groove 13. The top surface of the battery pack body 11 is provided with a battery pack plug 14. The bottom surface of the battery pack body 11 is provided with a battery pack interface 15 at the corresponding position of the battery pack plug 14. The inverter layer 2 includes an inverter body 21 and an inverter interface 26 fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the inverter body 21 that can cooperate with the battery pack plug 14. The bottom surface of the main body 21 is integrally formed with an inverter groove 24 whose inner wall can fit and cooperate with the edge of the battery pack protrusion 12. A power connection port 22 is also provided on one side of the inverter main body 21. In use, firstly, the battery is installed in the battery pack 1, and the battery pack plug 14 and battery pack interface 15 of the battery pack main body 11 are connected to the battery through wires. Then, the opening on the top surface of the battery pack main body 11 is closed and covered by the battery pack protrusion 12. The battery pack protrusion 12 can be locked and fixed to the battery pack main body 11 by a thick cap blind hole rivet nut. At this time, a single battery pack 1 is formed. Then, several battery packs are formed according to the needs. In this embodiment, there are three. Then, the first battery pack 1 is placed on a flat surface, and the second battery pack is stacked on it. 1. Align the battery pack groove 13 on the bottom of the second battery pack 1 with the battery pack protrusion 12 on the first battery pack 1, and align the battery pack plug 14 of the first battery pack 1 with the battery pack interface 15 of the second battery pack 1. Connect the two to complete the battery pack connection. After connecting multiple battery packs 1 according to the above steps, install the inverter layer 2 on top. Align the inverter groove 24 of the inverter layer 2 with the battery pack groove 13 on the top of the battery pack body 11, and align the inverter interface 26 at the bottom of the inverter body 21 with the battery pack plug 14 on the top of the battery pack body 11. Press down on the inverter body 21 to install the inverter layer 2 on top of the battery pack and achieve electrical connection. The circuit inside the inverter body 21... This is existing technology and is widely used in battery packs, so it will not be described in detail here. Then, the inverter layer 2 can control the current input to the battery pack and the current output from the battery pack. At the same time, during use, the battery pack protrusion 12 raises the battery pack plug 14 and the battery pack interface 15. So when used outdoors, if rain splashes on the energy storage battery pack and a small amount of rainwater enters between the tightly fitted battery pack 1, the rainwater is blocked by the battery pack protrusion 12, thereby preventing rainwater from directly contacting the contact position of the battery pack plug 14 and the battery pack interface 15, achieving a better waterproof effect. The overall waterproof performance can reach the IP54 level, and there is no need to equip an additional fully enclosed cast shell, resulting in lower manufacturing costs. The upper surface edge of the battery pack body 11 is provided with a waterproof gasket 16 extending inward to the edge of the battery pack protrusion 12. The waterproof gasket 16 is a waterproof silicone sponge with good deformation ability, which will not affect the installation of the battery pack 1. At the same time, it can fully fill the gap between the battery packs 1, thereby further improving the waterproof effect. A battery pack upper protrusion 17 is provided on one side edge of the battery pack body 11, and a battery pack lower groove 18 is integrally formed on the bottom edge of the battery pack body 11. The battery pack upper protrusion 17 is provided with a connecting bolt that can be connected to the battery pack lower groove 18. This facilitates efficient positioning of the battery pack 1 by inserting the battery pack upper protrusion 17 into the battery pack lower groove 18 during battery pack installation, and uses the connecting bolt to fix the battery pack upper protrusion 17 and the battery pack lower groove 18. The battery pack upper protrusion 17 and the battery pack lower groove 18 are integrally formed with openings for the connecting bolts to enter. At the same time, the connecting bolts can be blind hole press-fit nuts, which can effectively seal the openings on the battery pack upper protrusion 17 and the battery pack lower groove 18, making the connection between the battery packs 1 more stable and less likely to detach, without affecting the waterproof effect. The battery pack plug 14 is provided with a waterproof ring 141, which covers the connection part of the battery pack plug 14, which is beneficial to cover the plug core of the battery pack plug 14, thereby further improving the waterproof effect. A battery pack lifting slot 19 is provided on one side of the battery pack body 11, which makes it easier to carry the battery pack 1 by inserting your hand into the battery pack lifting slot 19 when it is being transported. An inverter lifting slot 25 is provided on the other side of the inverter body 21, which makes it easier to move the inverter layer 2 by inserting your hand into the inverter lifting slot 25 during handling. The inverter body 21 has a switch assembly 29 on the front side, which facilitates quick control of the inverter body 21 to work and stop via the switch assembly 29. An indicator light assembly 28 is provided on the front of the inverter body 21, which is convenient for observing the operating status of the battery pack through the indicator light assembly 28; The inner wall of the inverter body 21 is provided with a first glue injection groove 281 on the edge of the indicator light group 28. This facilitates the injection of waterproof glue through the first glue injection groove 281 after the indicator light assembly 28 is installed, thereby improving the waterproofness of the position where the indicator light assembly 28 is installed and preventing water leakage from affecting the normal operation of the inverter body 21. An air switch 27 is also provided on the side wall of the inverter body 21. An air switch cover 271 is movably engaged on the air switch 27, which is conducive to quickly cutting off the circuit when the battery pack is not working properly, thus improving safety. At the same time, the air switch cover 271 is used to cover the air switch 27, so that it is covered when not in use, preventing water from entering and affecting normal use. The inner wall of the inverter body 21 is provided with a second glue injection groove 272 on the edge of the air switch 27. This facilitates the injection of waterproof glue through the second glue injection groove 272 after the air switch 27 is installed, thereby improving the waterproofness of the air switch 27 installation position and preventing water leakage from affecting the normal operation of the inverter body 21. The bottom edge of the inverter body 21 is integrally formed with an inverter lower groove 23, which helps to make the inverter body 21 more securely installed on the battery pack 1 through the inverter lower groove 23 in conjunction with the protrusion 17 on the battery pack, preventing it from loosening and falling off. The bottom of the battery pack is also provided with a base 3, which includes a base plate 31 and a base protrusion 32 integrally formed on the base body 31. The protrusion 32 can fit and cooperate with the edge of the battery pack groove 13. The base 3 helps to raise the battery pack off the ground and avoid the bottom of the battery pack from directly contacting the ground and causing leakage. The base protrusion 32 is used to snap into the battery pack groove 13, thereby enabling quick positioning and installation. At the same time, it prevents water from entering the bottom of the battery pack 1 and causing short circuit and leakage, further improving waterproofing. The base body 31 is also provided with a sealing plug 33 that can be inserted into the battery pack interface 15. This allows the battery pack interface 15 to be sealed by inserting the sealing plug 33 into the battery pack interface 15, preventing water from entering the battery pack interface 15 and causing short circuits or leakage, thus further improving waterproofing. The lower surface of the base body 31 is provided with a covering block 34 covering the sealing plug 33 at the corresponding position of the sealing plug 33, which helps to further improve the sealing of the battery pack interface 15, prevent water from entering the battery pack interface 15 from the bottom net, and further improve the waterproof performance. The base body 31 has a base upper protrusion 36 on one side edge, which is conducive to the base body 31 being inserted into the battery pack lower groove 18 of the battery pack body 11 through the bottom upper protrusion 36, thereby allowing the base body 31 to be better connected to the battery pack and preventing it from falling off. The base body 31 has several support pillars 35 on its bottom surface, which helps to raise the height of the base body 31 and further prevents the battery pack from directly contacting the ground water, thus improving waterproofing.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, a battery is installed in the battery pack 1. The battery pack plug 14 and battery pack interface 15 of the battery pack body 11 are connected to the battery via wires. Then, the opening on the top surface of the battery pack body 11 is closed and covered by the battery pack protrusion 12. The battery pack protrusion 12 can be locked and fixed to the battery pack body 11 using a thick-cap blind-hole rivet nut. At this point, a single battery pack 1 is formed. Subsequently, several battery packs are formed as needed; in this embodiment, there are three. The first battery pack 1 is then placed on a flat surface, and the second battery pack 1 is stacked on top of it, aligning the battery pack groove 13 on the bottom surface of the second battery pack 1 with the battery pack protrusion 12 of the first battery pack 1. The battery pack plug 14 of the first battery pack 1 is aligned with the battery pack interface 15 of the second battery pack 1, and the two are combined to complete the connection of the battery packs. After connecting multiple battery packs 1 according to the above steps, the inverter layer 2 can be installed on top of it. The inverter groove 24 of the inverter layer 2 is aligned with the battery pack... The inverter layer 2 is installed on top of the battery pack in the battery pack recess 13 on the top of the main body 11. The inverter interface 26 at the bottom of the inverter main body 21 is aligned with the battery pack plug 14 on the top of the battery pack main body 11. The inverter main body 21 is then pressed down to install the inverter layer 2 on top of the battery pack, achieving electrical connection. The circuit components inside the inverter main body 21 are existing technology, widely used in battery packs, and will not be described in detail here. Subsequently, the inverter layer 2 can be used to control the current input to and output from the battery pack. During use, the current is... The battery pack protrusion 12 raises the battery pack plug 14 and battery pack interface 15. When used outdoors, if rainwater splashes onto the energy storage battery pack and a small amount of rainwater enters between the tightly fitted battery packs 1, the rainwater is blocked by the battery pack protrusion 12. This prevents rainwater from directly contacting the contact points of the battery pack plug 14 and battery pack interface 15, achieving a better waterproof effect. The overall waterproof performance can reach the IP54 level, and there is no need to equip an additional fully enclosed cast shell, resulting in lower manufacturing costs.
