The communication port is always closed to meet the sealing requirement. When the communication port is opened, the liquid in the water receiving tank is discharged.

[0036] Preferably, the opening and closing of the communication port are controlled by an insertion switch inside it.

[0037] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, in one embodiment, the installation space includes a complementary chamber 111, an energy storage chamber 113, and a liquid cooling chamber 115.

Also, the sealed energy storage chamber 113 arranged in this way avoids forming convection with the outside, and better maintains the temperature and heat dissipation effect.

[0039] Here, by performing sealing treatment on the water inlet pipe, the drain pipe, and the connection terminals between the power storage module 30 and the complementary module 20, the sealed environment of the energy storage chamber 113 is guaranteed.

[0040] In one embodiment, at least both sides of the cabinet 10 are provided with first communication holes 111a communicating with the complementary chamber 111. Between the first communication holes 111a on at least both sides, a first duct provided in the complementary chamber 111 is formed.

[0045] The first communication holes 111a and the second communication holes 115a may be square holes, circular holes, etc., and are not limited here.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the first duct may be further provided to intake air from the front side and the upper side and exhaust air from the back side, and the second duct may be further provided to intake air from the front side and the right side and exhaust air from the back side.

[0047] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, in one embodiment, the bottom wall of the supplementary chamber 111 is disposed obliquely, and the cabinet 10 is provided with a first drain hole 111b communicating with the supplementary chamber 111, so that the water that enters the supplementary chamber 111 is discharged from the first drain hole 111b.

[0048] The oblique arrangement means that the bottom wall is provided so as to form an angle with the plane where it is located and the horizontal plane, and the first drain hole 111b is provided on the side with a lower height.

[0049] In this embodiment, the height of the bottom wall gradually decreases from the front side to the rear side of the cabinet 10, and the first drain hole 111b is provided on the backplane. A first communication hole 111a is provided in the top portion of the cabinet 10, so that rainwater can easily enter the replenishment chamber 111 from the first communication hole 111a. With a bottom wall arranged in an inclined manner, water can move along the bottom wall to the first drain hole 111b and be discharged, avoiding water accumulation and ensuring the safety of the equipment.

[0050] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the liquid cooling chamber 115 is arranged in an inclined manner, and the cabinet 10 is provided with a second drain hole 115b communicating with the liquid cooling chamber 115.

Both the ventilation component 63 and the fire prevention component are provided in the energy storage chamber 113. The ventilation component 63 communicates the outside with the energy storage chamber 113 to form air convection, and the fire prevention component is used for fire extinguishing.

[0055] In this embodiment, detection units 61 such as temperature detectors, smoke detectors, and combustible gas detectors detect inside the cabinet to ensure that when a danger occurs, it can be immediately feedback and dealt with.

[0056] For example, when the combustible gas detector detects that the concentration of combustible gas in the energy storage chamber 113 has reached a certain limit value, the ventilation component 63 operates. The ventilation component 63 includes an intake device 631 and an exhaust device 633. Thereby, the internal and external air of the energy storage chamber 113 forms convection to rapidly reduce the concentration of combustible gas in the energy storage chamber 113 and avoid safety hazards.

[0057] When a fire occurs in the energy storage chamber 113, the fire prevention component is activated.

The control room 117 communicates with the energy storage room 113 and is arranged in a sealed manner.

[0060] In this embodiment, the control module 50 includes a switch merging unit, an indication unit, and an emergency stop unit. The switch merging unit controls circuit merging, switches, and the BMU system. By being provided in the control room 117, the switch merging unit can facilitate maintenance operations and meet the possibilities of multiple needs such as side wire extraction, bottom wire extraction, and front wire extraction of the complementary electrical cabinet 100. The indication unit is an indication lamp 51, which immediately feedbacks the operating state of the system. The emergency stop unit is an emergency stop button 53 provided on the cabinet 10. When the emergency stop button 53 is pressed, the rapid and emergency stop of the operation of the complementary electrical cabinet 100 can be realized.

[0063] Between the liquid cooling chamber 115 and the control chamber 117, they are completely welded and designed individually, thereby avoiding the liquid in the liquid cooling chamber 115 from entering the control chamber 117, meeting the needs of protection and corrosion prevention, and protecting the control module 50.

[0064] Here, through holes for wiring or pipeline connection are provided between each of the above chambers, and a sealing design is performed for each through hole. The wiring terminals for connection are waterproof terminals.

[0065] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6, in one embodiment, the cabinet 10 includes a cabinet body 11 and at least two door panels 13.

Sealing rings 119 are provided at the openings of the complementary chamber 111, the energy storage chamber 113, the liquid cooling chamber 115, and the control chamber 117. At least one door panel 13 closes the openings of the complementary chamber 111 and the energy storage chamber 113. At least one door panel 13 closes the openings of the liquid cooling chamber 115 and the control chamber 117, and the door panel 13 abuts against the sealing ring 119.

[0066] In this embodiment, one end of the door panel 13 is hinged to the cabinet 10. When the door panel 13 is closed, the surface of the door panel 13 abuts against the sealing ring 119 to achieve the sealing of the corresponding chamber.

[0067] The replenishment room 111, the energy storage room 113, the liquid cooling room 115, and the control room 117 all adopt a design that shares the door panel 13, that is, the same door panel 13 is used to simultaneously seal the replenishment room 111 and the energy storage room 113, or the liquid cooling room 115 and the control room 117. Referring to FIG. 6, since one seal ring 119 is provided at the opening of each room, the upper and lower rooms are sufficiently isolated through two layers of seal rings 119, and the upper and lower rooms do not interfere with each other and are not in communication. In this way, with one door panel 13, the needs of two protection levels can be realized. For example, the replenishment room 111 and the liquid cooling room 115 above the cabinet 10 meet the protection needs of IP20, and the energy storage room 113 and the control room 117 below meet the protection needs of IP54.

[0068] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, in one embodiment, the replenishment electric cabinet 100 further includes a top cap 70 removably provided at the top of the cabinet 10 and a pedestal 80 removably provided at the bottom of the cabinet 10.

[0070] Preferably, the top cap 70, the pedestal 80, and the cabinet 10 may be attached and fixed by fasteners or may be fixed by welding.

[0071] In one embodiment, the top cap 70 includes an upper corner fitting 71 and a cabinet connection and fixing member 73. The upper corner fitting 71 meets the needs of lifting the bare metal at the top of the cabinet 10 and fixing the transportation of the whole machine, and the cabinet connection and fixing member 73 arranges and connects the cabinet 10 with another adjacent complementary electrical cabinet 100 back to back. The pedestal 80 includes a fork hole 81, a bottom corner member 83, a bottom grounding point 85, and a bottom fixing member 87, which facilitates the transportation and fixing of the cabinet 10. The pedestal 80 can realize rapid front, bottom or side wiring with other devices.
