Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates substantially to a movable cabinet system and an energy storage device. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a movable cabinet system including a load-bearing structure and an energy storage device. Prior Technology

[0002] To improve energy efficiency and flexibility, the development of energy storage devices has become a trend in recent years. With the development and maturation of battery technology (such as lithium batteries), battery energy storage devices have become one of the mainstream energy storage devices. Considering factors such as ease of loading and transportation, and weather resistance, metal shipping containers commonly used in international shipping are currently used as the storage units for energy storage devices.

[0003] However, during storage or transportation, various factors (such as overcharging, impact, electronic control system malfunctions, operating environment, or manufacturing defects) can damage the separator in the battery, causing the positive and negative electrodes to come into contact and form a short circuit. This can lead to a high-temperature chemical reaction that ignites flammable organic components within the battery. The high temperatures generated by battery thermal runaway can further damage adjacent equipment and cause fires. Therefore, safe transportation and mobile energy storage cabinets are a key focus for the industry. Summary of the Invention

The bottom plate of the cabinet unit is disposed on the top surface of the base. The support components are disposed on the bottom surface of the base and form at least one channel below the bottom surface of the base. At least one of the bottom plate and side plates of the cabinet unit is assembled and engaged with the supporting structure to at least limit displacement of the cabinet unit in the direction of extension of the channel.

[0005] In one or more embodiments, an energy storage device includes the above-described movable cabinet system and at least one battery system, the battery system being fixed to the accommodating space of the cabinet unit, wherein the top plate, bottom plate and side plate of the cabinet unit comprise a concrete body.

[0030] In the figures and embodiments disclosed herein, the same or similar elements are represented by the same element symbols. Implementation

[0031] Figure 1A illustrates a perspective view of a cabinet unit 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 1B illustrates a top view of a cabinet unit 10 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0032] The cabinet unit 10 may include a plurality of side panels 11, a top panel 12, and a bottom panel 13 to form an accommodating space S1. The size of the accommodating space S1 allows an operator to enter and perform maintenance and / or operation on the functional components or equipment provided in the accommodating space S1. In some embodiments, portions of the side panels 11 (e.g., two opposing side panels 11) may all be side panels, while the remaining side panels 11 may be provided with doors 14. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1A and 1B, the side panels 11, top panel 12, and bottom panel 13 have a plate-like structure. In some embodiments, the bottom panel 13 has an opening 13H extending from the top surface 132 to the bottom surface 131, through which devices (e.g., battery systems) and related wiring disposed in the cabinet unit 10 can be clustered below the cabinet unit 10.

[0033] In some embodiments, the outer surfaces of the side plate 11, top plate 12, and bottom plate 13 are substantially flat surfaces. In some embodiments, one or more of the side plate 11, top plate 12, and bottom plate 13 may also have a non-plate-like structure. For example, the outer surface of one or more of the side plate 11, top plate 12, and bottom plate 13 may have a special three-dimensional shape, such as a wave-shaped structure, a hole structure, a groove structure, a protruding rib structure, or other three-dimensional shapes of any arbitrary form.

[0034] In some embodiments, portions of the side panels 11 (e.g., two opposing side panels 11) may be side walls, while the remaining side panels 11 may be fitted with doors 14. As shown in FIG1B, in some embodiments, the cabinet unit 10 may include a door 14A on the front side and a door 14B on the rear side. Doors 14A and 14B may be the same or different in size. In some embodiments, hinges 141 may be fixed to a connector (not shown) by welding, screwing, or riveting, and doors 14A and 14B may be pivotally connected to hinges 141. In some embodiments, door 14A of the cabinet unit 10 comprises two double doors, each of which may be connected to the corresponding side panel 11 by welding, screwing, or riveting. In some embodiments, door 14B of the cabinet unit 10 is a single door, which may be connected to the corresponding side panel 11 by welding, screwing, or riveting. In some embodiments, door 14B may also be two double doors similar to door 14A. The door 14 is provided to protect the functional components or equipment housed in the accommodating space S1, and to allow operators to perform maintenance, replacement and / or operation of the equipment.

[0035] In addition, for the purpose of clearly presenting and describing the cabinet unit 10 of some embodiments, certain elements, such as doors 14 (including doors 14A, 14B) and hinges 141, are shown only in FIG1B, and are omitted from other figures (e.g. FIG1A, 1C, 1D and subsequent figures).

[0036] Figure 1C illustrates a perspective view of a cabinet unit for housing a battery system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 1D illustrates a schematic view of a battery package 220 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1C, an energy system, such as a battery system 210, may be housed in the accommodating space S1 of the cabinet unit 10. In some embodiments, the battery system 210 in the accommodating space S1 may be fixed to one of the side panels 11.

[0038] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG1D, the battery system 210 may include a plurality of battery packs 220, each battery pack 220 containing a plurality of battery arrays. In some embodiments, the battery system 210 may include a housing 230 in which the battery packs 220 are disposed. To clearly present and describe the main structure of the battery packs 220, some components are omitted from FIG1D.

[0039] In some embodiments, the battery package 220 may include a plurality of battery packs 221 and a housing 225, with the battery packs 221 disposed within the housing 225. In some embodiments, each battery pack 221 may include a plurality of batteries 223. In some embodiments, the batteries 223 may be cylindrical lithium-ion batteries or other types of batteries. For example, cylindrical lithium-ion batteries may be 18650 batteries, 21700 batteries, or other types of lithium-ion batteries. In some embodiments, the plurality of battery packs 221 in the battery package 220 are connected in series with each other, and the batteries 223 in the battery packs 221 are connected in parallel with each other. In some embodiments, the positive and negative electrode extension directions of the batteries 223 are perpendicular to the extension direction of the bottom plate of the housing 225.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a movable cabinet system is proposed, including a cabinet unit (such as cabinet unit 10 described above) and a support structure for supporting the cabinet unit (support structure 30 in FIG. 2). In some embodiments, at least one of the bottom plate and side plate of the cabinet unit is connected and assembled with the support structure. The configuration of cabinet unit 10 in this document (including dimensions, inner and outer surfaces of the panels, and / or door configuration, etc.) is for illustrative purposes only, and this disclosure can be applied to any cabinet unit with different configurations depending on actual needs. By applying the movable cabinet system proposed in the embodiments, an energy storage device can be formed after placing an energy system (e.g., battery system 210) inside the cabinet unit. With the support structure proposed in the embodiments, the movable cabinet system of the embodiments or the energy storage device containing the battery system can be safely and quickly transported and moved.

[0041] In some embodiments, the various panels of the cabinet unit 10, such as the side panels 11, top panel 12, and bottom panel 13, are made of grouted concrete. In some embodiments, the resulting concrete matrix may contain synthetic fibers. In some embodiments, the synthetic fibers have a length of about 4 mm to about 20 mm and a diameter of about 0.2 mm. In some embodiments, the synthetic fibers constitute about 30 kg / m³ to about 60 kg / m³ of the concrete matrix. The synthetic fibers can enhance the flexural strength of the concrete matrix. In some embodiments, the various panels of the cabinet unit 10 are made of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC).

[0042] According to some embodiments disclosed herein, since the concrete body contains the aforementioned synthetic fibers and / or is formed of ultra-high performance concrete, it is not necessary to install a reinforcing steel structure (e.g., a reinforcing cage and / or a reinforcing steel assembly consisting of multiple stirrups) in the wall of the concrete body. The concrete body itself can have a similar bending resistance to ordinary reinforced concrete. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to install a reinforcing steel structure in the concrete body to improve bending strength, the concrete body can have a smaller wall thickness, thereby reducing the weight of the panels of the cabinet unit 10, which is beneficial for the assembly of the panels and the handling and movement of the cabinet unit 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may comprise one or more types of cement with different compositions, various granular materials, oxides, and various additives. In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may comprise Portland cement, silica fume (which is powdery in size), silica sand (which has a size or particle size of less than about 2 millimeters (mm)), quartz powder (which has a size or particle size of less than about 20 micrometers (μm)), water-reducing agent, defoamer, expanding agent, or any combination thereof.

[0044] In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may contain one or more of Portland Type I, Portland Type II, Portland Type III, Portland Type IV, and Portland Type V cement at a content of about 800 kg / m³ to about 900 kg / m³. In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may contain one of Portland Type I, Portland Type II, Portland Type III, Portland Type IV, and Portland Type V cement at a content of about 400 kg / m³ to about 500 kg / m³, and another of Portland Type I, Portland Type II, Portland Type III, Portland Type IV, and Portland Type V cement at a content of about 400 kg / m³ to about 500 kg / m³. In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may contain silica fume at a content of about 120 kg / m³ to about 180 kg / m³. In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may contain silica sand at a content of about 900 kg / m³ to about 1000 kg / m³. In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may contain quartz powder at a content of about 30 kg / m³ to about 150 kg / m³. In some embodiments, the combination of silica fume and quartz powder results in a higher compressive strength in the concrete matrix compared to ordinary concrete. In some embodiments, the addition of oxides may be used to adjust the appearance color of the concrete matrix.

[0045] In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may contain a water-reducing agent at a content of about 10 kg / m³ to about 20 kg / m³. In some embodiments, the concrete matrix may contain an antifoaming agent at a content of about 10 kg / m³ and an expanding agent at a content of about 25 kg / m³.

[0046] In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity (or thermal conductivity coefficient) of the concrete body is equal to or less than about 1.8 W / m‧K. In some embodiments, the thermal conductivity of the concrete body is from about 1.6 W / m‧K to about 1.8 W / m‧K. Compared with metallic materials or ordinary concrete (whose thermal conductivity is from about 1.9 W / m‧K to about 2.1 W / m‧K), the concrete body of the embodiments has better thermal insulation effect, which helps to slow down the heat conduction between the accommodating space S1 and the outside of the concrete body. When the device or component in the accommodating space S1 needs to be maintained at a specific high or low temperature, the good thermal insulation effect of the concrete body helps to reduce the energy required by the air conditioning equipment, which can reduce costs and has the additional benefits of environmental protection, energy saving and carbon reduction.

[0047] In some embodiments, the unit structural weight of the concrete body is equal to or greater than about 2300 kg / m³. In some embodiments, the unit structural weight of the concrete body is from about 2300 kg / m³ to about 2700 kg / m³. In some embodiments, the compressive strength of the concrete body is equal to or greater than about 120 MPa. In some embodiments, the compressive strength of the concrete body is from about 120 MPa to about 180 MPa. In some embodiments, the ultimate flexural strength of the concrete body is greater than about 15 MPa. In this way, the concrete body does not need to include a steel cage and / or a steel reinforcement assembly consisting of multiple stirrups to improve flexural strength, allowing the concrete body to have a smaller wall thickness, thereby reducing the overall weight of the cabinet unit 10. Furthermore, the concrete body can provide the cabinet unit 10 with high compressive strength and high flexural strength, thus enabling its application in more extreme environments (e.g., environments subjected to high-temperature flames) while maintaining the integrity of the overall structure.

[0048] In some embodiments, the concrete matrix of each panel of the cabinet unit 10 has a structural weight of approximately 2300 kg / m³ to approximately 2700 kg / m³, a compressive strength greater than approximately 120 MPa, and an ultimate flexural strength greater than approximately 15 MPa. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the concrete matrix of each panel of the cabinet unit 10 has an initial crack flexural strength greater than approximately 10 MPa, an elastic modulus greater than approximately 35 GPa, and a tensile strength greater than approximately 5 MPa. Moreover, in some embodiments, the concrete matrix of each panel of the cabinet unit 10 has a shrinkage rate of less than approximately 300 mm / m, a chloride ion diffusion coefficient of less than approximately 5 x 10⁻¹³ m² / sec, and a thermal conductivity of approximately 1.6 W / m‧K to approximately 1.8 W / m‧K.

[0049] Traditionally, cabinets are moved and transported using cranes and lifting equipment. Cranes can move cabinets by using lifting rings, steel cables attached to the rings (extending to a frame above the cabinet unit), and steel cables connected to the frame (diagonally extending to a crane hook above the frame). However, considering the height of the cabinet and the lifting equipment needed above it, cranes require sufficient space for operation and movement. Therefore, crane operation is not ideal for moving or storing cabinets in low or narrow spaces (such as indoors), such as for transporting or repositioning.

[0050] This disclosure proposes a movable cabinet system 1, which allows the cabinet unit 10 to be transported and moved not only by conventional hanging methods, but also by using a non-hanging transport device, such as the support structure 30, to lift and move the cabinet unit 10 easily and quickly. Therefore, the movable cabinet system 1 proposed according to the embodiment significantly reduces the limitations imposed by the size of the placement area on transport and movement; and compared to hanging transport, lifting transport and movement are more economical in terms of both money and time.

[0051] Furthermore, if the cabinet unit 10 is directly lifted and transported using a handling arm (such as the forks of a forklift or other suitable lifting arm), the area of ​​the handling arm is relatively small compared to the bottom area of ​​the cabinet unit 10. This results in excessive stress on the contact surface between the cabinet unit 10 and the handling arm. Such excessive stress concentration may damage the cabinet panels and affect the structural integrity of the cabinet unit 10. Especially when the cabinet unit 10's panels are made of grouted concrete (such as UHPC concrete), the high hardness of the panels and the overall weight of the cabinet mean that excessive stress concentration could lead to cracks or even breakage of the panels during transport.

[0052] According to some embodiments of the movable cabinet system 1, if a battery package (e.g., containing multiple battery packs 221, FIG. 1C) is placed there, during the charging and discharging process of the batteries in the battery pack (e.g., lithium batteries), various factors (e.g., overcharging, impact, electronic control system errors, operating environment or process defects) may cause lithium ions to puncture the separator in the battery, causing the positive and negative electrodes to come into contact and form a short circuit, thereby causing a high-temperature chemical reaction and igniting the flammable organic components in the battery. The high temperature generated by the thermal runaway of the lithium battery may reach 600°C to 1000°C or even higher. When this heat energy spreads from the ignited battery to the surrounding area, the cells of other adjacent batteries will also heat up. When the temperature exceeds the allowable temperature of the cell (e.g., the allowable temperature of lithium batteries is about 150°C), the adjacent heated cells will also release heat, causing the battery pack or even the entire battery system to burn. Furthermore, the combustion of the positive electrode material inside the battery originates from the chemical reaction of the internal materials, thus leading to continuous combustion, with temperatures potentially reaching 600°C to 1000°C. In some embodiments, the cabinet unit 10 comprises a composite structure (not shown) of a concrete body and a layer of fire-resistant material to effectively confine the high temperatures generated by the thermal runaway of the lithium battery within the cabinet unit 10. By simultaneously filling the cabinet unit 10 with water, it is possible to prevent the flames from escaping outside the cabinet unit 10 and causing the fire to spread. However, if the panels of the cabinet unit 10 have cracks or gaps during handling, the high temperatures cannot be confined within the cabinet unit 10, posing significant risks to both the use of energy storage devices and disaster relief.

[0053] According to some embodiments, the movable cabinet system 1 integrates the cabinet unit 10 with the support structure 30, and uses the support structure 30 to transport and move the cabinet unit 10. If the support structure 30 (e.g., the base 310 in contact with the base plate 13 or the entire support structure) has higher hardness, greater tensile strength, and / or higher density than the cabinet unit 10, then the support structure 30 is supported by the transport arm of the transport device. When transporting the integrated support structure 30 and cabinet unit 10, the presence of the support structure 30 can prevent the weight of the cabinet unit 10 from being directly concentrated on the transport arm of the transport device, thus avoiding the problem of cracks appearing in the cabinet panels (especially the base plate). A structurally intact cabinet unit 10 is very important for the safety of the energy storage device. For example, the aforementioned battery may burn at high temperatures due to various factors. An intact, crack-free cabinet can ensure that the high temperature generated by the battery's thermal runaway can be confined within the cabinet, making it safer in use and disaster relief. Furthermore, according to some embodiments, using a load-bearing structure 30 with higher rigidity, greater tensile strength, and / or higher density than the cabinet unit 10 also has the advantages of being able to support heavier cabinets and having a stable center of gravity, making it suitable for placing the cabinet unit 10, which integrates the load-bearing structure 30, in environments with unstable airflow (such as windy outdoor environments) and areas with seismic activity.

[0054] If the load-bearing structure 30 (e.g., the base 310 in contact with the base plate 13 or the entire load-bearing structure) has lower hardness, lower tensile strength, and / or lower density than the cabinet unit 10, then the presence of the load-bearing structure 30 can not only prevent the aforementioned situation of excessive stress concentration damaging the cabinet panels, but also further serve as a stress buffer between the handling arm and the cabinet unit 10. This buffering function can further enhance the protection of the cabinet. When the cabinet is placed in a predetermined location (whether on the floor inside a building or on the ground in an outdoor environment) or during an earthquake, it can provide shock absorption to avoid damage to the cabinet panels and / or the internal battery system. Furthermore, according to some embodiments, using a load-bearing structure 30 with lower hardness, lower tensile strength, and / or lower density than the cabinet unit 10 also has the advantages of being lighter and easier to handle, making it suitable for use in environments with stable airflow, such as indoor environments.

[0055] In some embodiments, the hardness of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310) is greater than the hardness of the board material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, in order to disperse stress and prevent the cabinet board material from cracking due to excessive stress concentration. In some embodiments, the hardness of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310) is less than the hardness of the board material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, in order to further improve the buffering effect of the load-bearing structure 30. []

[0056] In some embodiments, the tensile strength of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310) is greater than the tensile strength of the board material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, in order to disperse stress and prevent the cabinet board material from cracking due to excessive stress concentration. For example, if the tensile strength of the base plate 13 is equal to or greater than about 5 MPa, then the tensile strength of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310) can be greater than the tensile strength of the base plate 13, for example, it may be greater than 5 MPa, 5.5 MPa, 6 MPa, 6.5 MPa, 7 MPa, or higher, but is not limited to the above-mentioned example values. In some embodiments, the tensile strength of the load-bearing structure 30 is less than the tensile strength of the board material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, in order to further improve the cushioning effect of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310). For example, if the tensile strength of the base plate 13 is equal to or greater than about 5 MPa, the tensile strength of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310) may be less than the tensile strength of the base plate 13, for example, it may be less than 5 MPa, 4.5 MPa, 4 MPa, 3.5 MPa, 3 MPa, or smaller, but is not limited to the above example values.

[0057] In some embodiments, the hardness of the load-bearing structure 30 is greater than the hardness of the board material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, in order to disperse stress and prevent the cabinet board material from cracking due to excessive stress concentration. In some embodiments, the hardness of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310) is less than the hardness of the board material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, in order to further improve the cushioning effect of the load-bearing structure 30. In some embodiments, the density of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310) is greater than the density of the board material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, in order to disperse stress and prevent the cabinet board material from cracking due to excessive stress concentration. In some embodiments, the density of the load-bearing structure 30 (or base 310) is less than the density of the board material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, in order to further improve the cushioning effect of the load-bearing structure 30.

[0058] Furthermore, the cabinet unit 10 can be mounted on the support structure 30 of the embodiment through different assembly methods. According to some embodiments, the cabinet unit 10 can be mounted on the support structure 30 by locking (e.g., bottom locking, external connection point locking or other locking methods), pre-cast integral, mortise and tenon, snap-fit ​​(e.g., tenon joint), slide rail docking, other joining or assembly methods, or any combination of two or more of the foregoing methods.

[0059] In the following embodiments, several applicable installation methods are presented in conjunction with the drawings to illustrate the assembly between the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 30, but this disclosure is not limited to these illustrated installation methods (including the drawings and contents).

[0060] Figure 2 illustrates a perspective view of a movable cabinet system 1 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3A illustrates a perspective view of a support structure 30 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3B illustrates a perspective view of another support structure 30' according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0061] As shown in Figure 2, in some embodiments, the movable cabinet system 1 includes a cabinet unit 10 and a support structure 30, with the cabinet unit 10 mounted on the support structure 30. The components of the cabinet unit 10 can be seen in Figure 1A and the related descriptions above. Referring to Figures 2, 3A, and 3B, in some embodiments, the support structure 30 (30') includes a base 310 and a support assembly 330, wherein the support assembly 330 is disposed on the bottom surface 311 of the base 310.

[0062] Referring to Figures 2 and 3A, in some embodiments, the support assembly 330 of the load-bearing structure 30 includes support plates 332 and 333, with corresponding openings formed on the support plates 332 and 333 to form channels CH11 and CH12 extending in the Y direction and channels CH21 and CH22 extending in the X direction below the bottom surface 311 of the base 310, so that the transport arm of the transport device can lift the load-bearing structure 30 together with the cabinet unit 10.

[0063] The multiple support plates connected to the base 310 can have different configurations. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3A, the support assembly 330 includes a set of oppositely arranged support plates 332 and another set of oppositely arranged support plates 333. The support plates 332 are recessed into the side surface of the base 310 and surrounded by a frame portion 332F, which is connected to the base 310. The support plates 333 are coplanar with the side surface of the base 310.

[0064] Furthermore, the multiple support plates connected to the base 310 may have the same configuration. For example, all support plates may be coplanar with or not coplanar with the connected base 310. In some embodiments, the support plates connected to each side of the base 310 are all coplanar with the side of the base 310 (as shown in support plate 333 in FIG3A). In some embodiments, the support plates connected to each side of the base 310 may all be recessed into the side of the base 310 and surrounded and connected to the base 310 by a frame portion (as shown in support plate 332 and frame portion 332F in FIG3A).

[0065] In addition to the plate configuration shown in Figure 3A, the support component 330 can also be in other forms to provide support for the base 310 and form a channel under the base 310 for the handling arm of the handling device to lift it.

[0066] Referring to Figures 2 and 3B, in some embodiments, the support assembly 330 includes a plurality of support posts disposed on the bottom surface 311 of the base 310 to form one or more channels below the bottom surface 311. In some embodiments, the support assembly 330 includes, for example, eight support posts (support posts 331a, 331d, 331g, 331h and 331i shown in Figure 3B), spaced apart on the bottom surface 311 of the base 310 to form four channels. As shown in Figure 3B, the support assembly 330 defines channels CH11 and CH12 extending in the Y direction and channels CH21 and CH22 extending in the X direction below the bottom surface 311 of the base 310.

[0067] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the aforementioned support columns can be solid columns, hollow columns, or a combination thereof, selected and configured according to actual application requirements. For example, although solid columns are heavier, they can improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the load-bearing structure 30, while hollow columns help reduce the overall weight of the movable cabinet system. In some embodiments, solid columns are arranged entirely on the bottom surface 311 of the base 310. In some embodiments, hollow columns are arranged entirely on the bottom surface 311 of the base 310. In some embodiments, a combination of solid and hollow columns is included on the bottom surface 311 of the base 310.

[0068] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the load-bearing structure 30 comprises metal (e.g., steel), one or more different concrete materials, one or more polymer materials, or a combination of the foregoing. The base 310 and the support assembly 330 may be integrally formed.

[0069] For example, in some embodiments, the load-bearing structure 30 is a metal part integrally formed by mold casting, die casting, stamping, or other suitable methods. For example, in some embodiments, the load-bearing structure 30 may be a plastic part integrally formed by injection molding or other suitable methods from one or more polymer materials. For yet another example, in some embodiments, mixed concrete slurry is poured into a mold of a predetermined shape, then cured and demolded to produce an integrally formed concrete base 310 of the load-bearing structure 30, or the entire load-bearing structure 30 (including the concrete base 310 and the concrete support assembly 330).

[0070] In some embodiments, the cabinet unit 10 (including side panels 11, top panels 12, and bottom panels 13) comprises a first concrete body, and the base 310 of the supporting structure 30 (or the base 310 and the support assembly 330) comprises a second concrete body, wherein the mixture constituting the second concrete body is different from the mixture constituting the first concrete body. In some embodiments, the hardness, tensile strength, and / or density of the second concrete body are higher than those of the first concrete body, so that the resulting supporting structure 30 can avoid excessive stress concentration in local areas of the cabinet during handling, thus preventing damage to the cabinet panels. In some embodiments, the hardness, tensile strength, and / or density of the second concrete body are lower than those of the first concrete body, so that the resulting supporting structure 30 can further serve as a stress buffer between the handling arm and the cabinet unit 10, and provide shock absorption when placing the cabinet. In some embodiments, the hardness of the resulting concrete body can be adjusted by varying the composition (e.g., different cement components, various different granules, oxides, and various different additives) and their proportions in the aforementioned concrete slurry.

[0071] In some embodiments, the base 310 and the support assembly 330 may be manufactured separately and then joined together, for example, by locking, mortise and tenon joint, or other fastening methods. In some embodiments, the base 310 and the support assembly 330 are made of the same material. In some embodiments, the base 310 and the support assembly 330 are made of different materials.

[0072] In some embodiments, the base 310 further has an opening 310H extending from the top surface 312 to the bottom surface 311. When the cabinet unit 10 is mounted on the support structure 30, the opening 13H of the base plate 13 corresponds to the opening 310H of the base 310, allowing the wiring of devices (e.g., battery systems) located in the cabinet unit 10 to be clustered below the base 310 through the openings 13H and 310H. In some embodiments, the opening 310H of the base 310 and the opening 13H of the base plate 13 have approximately the same size.

[0073] Furthermore, according to some embodiments, when the cabinet unit 10 and the supporting structure 30 are assembled, the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 is disposed on the top surface 312 of the base 310, and the cabinet unit 10 and the supporting structure 30 are fixed and joined by a plurality of connectors 350. In some embodiments, connectors 350 are provided at the corners adjacent to the base 310, such as connectors 350A, 350B, 350C, and 350D at the four corners of the base 310, to fix the cabinet unit 10 and the supporting structure 30.

[0074] Figure 4 illustrates a partial enlarged perspective view of a movable cabinet unit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The connector 350A of Figures 2 and 3A is used as an example for illustration, but the present disclosure is not limited to the form of connector 350 (350A) of this embodiment.

[0075] In some embodiments, each connector 350 may include a connecting material and a bolt. In some embodiments, the connecting material has a generally L-shaped cross-sectional structure. In some embodiments, a first portion 351 and a second portion 352 of the connecting material are made of the same material and are integrally formed. The connecting material is made, for example, of a bent sheet of metal. In some embodiments, the connecting material is an L-shaped angle steel.

[0076] As shown in Figure 4, in some embodiments, the connecting material of the connector 350 includes a first portion 351 and a second portion 352. In some embodiments, the first portion 351 and the second portion 352 are connected to each other and intersect each other substantially perpendicularly. In some embodiments, the surface of the first portion 351 is fixed to the base plate 13 or side plate 11 of the cabinet unit 10, for example, by a locking mechanism, depending on the design of the cabinet unit 10 and the placement of the connector 350. Figures 2 and 4 show the first portion 351 fixed to the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10. In some embodiments, the surface of the second portion 352 is fixed to the base 310 of the support structure 30, for example, by a locking mechanism, such as on the top surface 312 of the base 310.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first portion 351 of the connector has one or more through holes (not shown) for bolts to pass through, and the second portion 352 has multiple through holes (not shown) for bolts to pass through. In some embodiments, the screw hole 35H1 of the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit can be substantially aligned with the through hole of the first portion 351, and the bolt 353 passes through the through hole of the first portion 351 and is screwed into the screw hole 35H1. In some embodiments, the screw hole 35H2 of the base 310 of the support structure 30 can be substantially aligned with the through hole of the second portion 352, and the bolt 354 passes through the through hole of the second portion 352 and is screwed into the screw hole 35H2, thereby assembling the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 30 by fixing them together with the connector 350. After assembly, the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit is close to the surface of the first portion 351 of the connector 350, and the base 310 of the support structure 30 is close to the surface of the second portion 352 of the connector 350.

[0078] Furthermore, according to some embodiments of the support structure 30, the top surface 312 of the base 310 is larger than the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10. As shown in FIG2, in some embodiments, the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 has a length L1 and a width W1, and the top surface 312 of the base 310 has a length L2 and a width W2, wherein the length L2 is greater than the length L1, and the width W2 is greater than the width W1. The lengths L1 and L2 are, for example, lengths extending in the X direction, and the widths W1 and W2 are, for example, widths extending in the Y direction. That is, the portion of the top surface 312 of the base 310 that protrudes outside the cabinet unit 10 surrounds the bottom plate 13.

[0079] In some embodiments, the hanging assembly 370 is locked to the base 310 of the supporting structure 30. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2, 3A, and 3B, the hanging assembly 370 is further provided on the portion of the top surface 312 of the base 310 that protrudes beyond the cabinet unit 10. For example, hanging assemblies 370A, 370B, 370C, and 370D are provided near the four corners of the base 310.

[0080] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG4, the hanging assembly 370 includes a stud 371 and a lifting ring 373 connecting the stud 371. In some embodiments, the base 310 has a screw hole 37H, and the stud 371 of the hanging assembly 370 passes through and is locked in the screw hole 37H. In some embodiments, a hanging device (not shown) can be used to lift and move the supporting structure 30 together with the cabinet unit 10 disposed above it through the hanging assembly 370 (e.g., 370A~370D).

[0081] Although the exposed portion of the top surface 312 of the base 310 shown in Figures 2-4 surrounds the base plate 13, this disclosure is not limited thereto. As long as there is an exposed portion of the top surface 312 on the opposite side of the base plate 13, the hanging assembly 370 can be mounted on the top surface 312 of the base 310 in the manner described above. In some embodiments, the width W1 of the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 is approximately equal to the width W2 of the top surface 312 of the base 310, and the length L2 of the top surface 312 of the base 310 is greater than the length L1 of the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 (i.e., L2>L1, W1=W2). In some embodiments, the length L1 of the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 is approximately equal to the length L2 of the top surface 312 of the base 310, and the width W2 of the top surface 312 of the base 310 is greater than the width W1 of the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 (i.e., W2>W1, L1=L2).

[0082] The load-bearing structure 30 proposed in the above embodiments can be adjusted and modified in terms of component configuration and shape according to the actual application requirements. The following are examples illustrating some other (not all) configurations of applicable load-bearing structures.

[0083] Figures 5A-1, 5A-2, 5A-3, 5A-4, 5A-5, 5A-6, 5A-7, 5A-8, 5A-9, 5A-10, and 5A-11 illustrate cross-sectional schematic diagrams of a load-bearing structure according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figures 5B-1, 5B-2, 5B-3, 5B-4, 5B-5, 5B-6, 5B-7, 5B-8, 5B-9, 5B-10, and 5B-11 illustrate bottom views of a load-bearing structure according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0084] According to some embodiments, the support structure 40 includes a base 410 and a support assembly 430, the support assembly 430 being disposed on the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 to form a space extending in one direction and two different directions as a passage. A handling arm (not shown) of a handling device can be placed in the passage to lift and transport the entire support structure 40 and the cabinet above it.

[0085] Referring to Figures 5A-1 and 5B-1, in some embodiments, the support assembly 430 includes two strip-shaped support columns 430a and 430b, disposed on the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 and adjacent to two opposite sides of the base 410, respectively. The support columns 430a and 430b can be hollow or solid columns. More specifically, the base 410 includes a first side 4101, a second side 4102, a third side 4103 relative to the first side 4101, and a fourth side 4104 relative to the second side 4102. In this example, the strip-shaped support columns 430a and 430b are adjacent to the first side 4101 and the third side 4103 of the base 410, respectively, and are spaced apart in the X direction. The support assembly 430 defines a channel CH1 extending in the Y direction below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 to accommodate the transport arm (not shown) of the transport device for supporting the load-bearing structure 40. For details regarding the configuration, materials, manufacturing, and assembly of the base 410 and support assembly 430, please refer to the relevant content on the base 310 and support assembly 330 mentioned above, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] In addition, in some embodiments, the support assembly 430 may optionally include laterally extending tie members (not shown; for example, strip-shaped or sheet-shaped tie members extending in the X direction) to connect the sides or bottom of the support columns 430a and 430b, thereby strengthening the lateral fixation of the support assembly 430 and improving the support capacity of the load-bearing structure 40.

[0087] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a connector 450 is also disposed on the top surface 412 of the base 410 to secure and engage the cabinet unit (not shown) and the support structure 40. In some embodiments, a hanging assembly 470 is also provided on the base 410 to provide a hanging device (not shown) to lift and move the support structure 40 together with the cabinet unit disposed above it. Other details regarding the configuration, materials, manufacturing, and assembly of the connector 450 and the hanging assembly 470 can be found in the relevant content of the connector 350 and the hanging assembly 370 described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0088] Additionally, in some embodiments, the load-bearing structure 40 further includes an adjustment member 480 disposed at the support assembly 430, for example, disposed on the bottom surface of support columns 430a and 430b, to adjust the level of the base 410 so that the load-bearing structure 40 is unaffected by the ground conditions. In some embodiments, the adjustment member 480 is a height adjustment pad or other suitable adjustment mechanism.

[0089] Figure 5C shows a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an adjustment member according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The adjustment member 480 includes a base 481, a stud 483, and an adjusting nut 485. A support column (e.g., 430a or 430b) has a screw hole 48H, through which the stud 483 passes and is fixed. By rotating the adjusting nut 485 on the stud 483, the distance hg from the bottom surface of the support column to the ground is changed, thereby leveling the top surface 412 of the base 410. Therefore, according to some embodiments, the adjustment member 480 can overcome the limitations imposed by uneven ground on the placement of energy storage systems.

[0090] Referring to Figures 5A-2 and 5B-2, in some embodiments, the support assembly 430 includes three strip-shaped support columns 430a, 430b, and 430c, disposed on the bottom surface 411 of the base 410, and respectively adjacent to two opposite sides and the middle of the base 410. In this example, the strip-shaped support columns 430a, 430b, and 430c are spaced apart in the X direction, and define channels CH11 and CH12 extending in the Y direction below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 to accommodate the handling arms (e.g., two forks) (not shown) of the handling device to support the load-bearing structure 40. Furthermore, details regarding the configuration, materials, manufacturing, and assembly of the connector 450 and the hanging assembly 470 on the base 410, as well as the adjusting member 480 at the support assembly 430, can be found in the aforementioned related content and will not be repeated here.

[0091] The difference between Figures 5A-3 and 5B-3 and Figures 5A-1 and 5B-1 is the direction of extension of the channel below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410, which can be used to accommodate the transport arm.

[0092] Referring to Figures 5A-3 and 5B-3, in some embodiments, the support assembly 430 includes strip-shaped support columns 430g and 430h, disposed on the bottom surface 411 of the base 410, and respectively adjacent to two opposite sides of the base 410, such as the second side 4102 and the fourth side 4104, and spaced apart in the Y direction. In this example, the support assembly 430 defines a channel CH2 extending in the X direction below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 to accommodate the transport arm (not shown) of the transport device to support the load-bearing structure 40.

[0093] Referring to Figures 5A-4 and 5B-4, in some embodiments, the support assembly 430 includes strip-shaped support columns 430g, 430h, and 430i, disposed on the bottom surface 411 of the base 410, and respectively adjacent to two opposite sides and the middle of the base 410. The strip-shaped support columns 430g, 430h, and 430i define two channels CH21 and CH22 extending in the X direction below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 to accommodate the transport arm (not shown) of the transport device to support the load-bearing structure 40.

[0094] In the above example, the strip-shaped support column has a length approximately equal to or close to the side of the base 410, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The support assembly 430 may also include multiple block-shaped support columns distributed on the bottom surface of the base 410 to form different channel directions below the bottom surface for the lifting arm to support. The block-shaped support columns may be hollow, solid, or a combination thereof.

[0095] Referring to Figures 5A-5 and 5B-5, in some embodiments, the support assembly 430 includes block-shaped support columns 431a, 431b, 431c, and 431d disposed on the bottom surface 411 of the base 410, respectively adjacent to the four corners of the base 410. The block-shaped support columns 431a, 431b, 431c, and 431d define a channel CH1 extending in the Y direction and a channel CH2 extending in the X direction below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410, so that the handling arm (not shown) of the handling device can lift the bearing structure 40 from different directions, improving the convenience and flexibility of handling.

[0096] Referring to Figures 5A-6 and 5B-6, in some embodiments, the support assembly 430 includes block-shaped support columns 431a, 431b, 431c, 431d, 431e, and 431f, disposed at the corners and central edge of the bottom surface 411 of the base 410. The block-shaped support columns 431a, 431b, 431c, 431d, 431e, and 431f define channels CH11 and CH12 extending in the Y direction and a channel CH2 extending in the X direction below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410, enabling the handling arm (not shown) of the handling device to lift the load-bearing structure 40 from different directions, improving the convenience and flexibility of handling.

[0097] Referring to Figures 5A-7 and 5B-7, this embodiment is similar to the embodiments of Figures 5A-6 and 5B-6, except that the number of channels extending along the X and Y directions is different. In Figures 5A-7 and 5B-7, the block support columns 431a, 431b, 431c, 431d, 431e, and 431f define a channel CH1 extending along the Y direction and channels CH21 and CH22 extending along the X direction below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410.

[0098] Referring to Figures 5A-8 and 5B-8, this embodiment is similar to the embodiments of Figures 5A-7 and 5B-7, except that Figures 5A-8 and 5B-8 increase the number of channels extending along the Y direction. In Figures 5A-8 and 5B-8, block support columns 431a, 431b, 431c, 431d, 431f, 431g, 431h, and 431i define channels CH11 and CH12 extending along the Y direction and channels CH21 and CH22 extending along the X direction below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410. In some embodiments, a block support column 431e may also be arranged at the center of the bottom surface 411 to strengthen the supporting force of the load-bearing structure 40.

[0099] Referring to Figures 5A-9 and 5B-9, this embodiment is similar to the embodiments of Figures 5A-8 and 5B-8, except that Figures 5A-9 and 5B-9 increase the number of channels extending in the X and Y directions. Multiple block-shaped support columns 431 are spaced apart below the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 to define four channels CH11, CH12, CH13, and CH14 extending in the Y direction, and four channels CH21, CH22, CH23, and CH24 extending in the X direction. When moving and transporting the load-bearing structure 40 and the cabinet unit above it using a transport device, the transport arm (not shown) can be selected to lift in the Y or X direction. Furthermore, it can be selected to use any two of channels CH11, CH12, CH13, and CH14, or any two of channels CH21, CH22, CH23, and CH24, for placement and lifting, improving the convenience and flexibility of transport.

[0100] Furthermore, the strip-shaped support column or block-shaped support column included in the aforementioned support component 430 may be disposed near the edge of the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 or aligned with the edge of the bottom surface 411 of the base 410. This disclosure does not impose any particular limitation on this, as long as it can effectively support the weight of the base 410 and the cabinet unit supported above it.

[0101] Referring to Figures 5A-10 and 5B-10, this embodiment differs from the embodiments of Figures 5A-8 and 5B-8 in that the support assembly 430 of Figures 5A-10 and 5B-10 includes a support plate 432. The support plate 432 is disposed around the bottom surface 411 of the base 410 and has openings through the support plate 432 to define channels CH11 and CH12 extending in the Y direction, and channels CH21 and CH22 extending in the X direction.

[0102] More specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5A-10 and 5B-10, one set of opposing support plates 432 has openings 43H-11 and 43H-12 to form channels CH11 and CH12 extending in the Y direction; another set of opposing support plates 432 has openings 43H-21 and 43H-22 to form channels CH21 and CH22 extending in the X direction. Furthermore, these openings 43H-11, 43H-12, 43H-21, and 43H-22 are spaced d1 from the bottom surface 4321 of the support plate 432. Therefore, in this example, the bottom of the support plate 432 is a continuous portion (generally surrounding the side edge of the base), which strengthens the bottom of the support assembly 430 and improves the support capacity of the load-bearing structure 40.

[0103] The actual widths of openings 43H-11, 43H-12, 43H-21, and 43H-22 can be adjusted. In some embodiments, the widths of openings 43H-11, 43H-12, 43H-21, and 43H-22 are greater than the width of the handling arm (not shown) to facilitate handling.

[0104] Furthermore, as shown in the embodiments of Figures 5A-10 and 5B-10, the support plate 432 is recessed within the side of the base 410. For example, the edges of the support plate 432 are separated from the first side 4101 and the third side 4103 of the base 410 by a distance dx, and the edges of the support plate 432 are separated from the fourth side 4104 of the second side 4102 of the base 410 by a distance dy. The distances dx and dy can be approximately equal or unequal.

[0105] Referring to Figures 5A-11 and 5B-11, the support assembly 430 of this embodiment is similar to the support assembly 430 of Figures 5A-10 and 5B-10. The difference is that the edges (e.g., the first edge 432-E1 and the third edge 432-E2) of the support plate 432 in Figures 5A-11 and 5B-11 are approximately flush with the sides (e.g., the first side 4101 and the third side 4103) of the base 410 to improve support stability.

[0106] Additionally, in some embodiments, a cover 490 may be selectively provided on the support plate 432, pivotally connected to the side edges of openings 43H-11, 43H-12, 43H-21, and 43H-22 to cover openings 43H-11, 43H-12, 43H-21, and 43H-22. Providing the cover 490 can further shield and protect components that may be present below the base 410. For example, as shown in Figures 2 and 3A, the wiring of some embodiments of the equipment (e.g., the battery system) can be clustered below the base 310 through openings 13H of the corresponding base plate 13 (cabinet unit 10) and openings 310H of the base 310 (support structure 30), and extends below the base 310. Therefore, in some embodiments, the channel of the support structure 30 serves not only as a placement space for the handling arms when moving the cabinet, but also as an opening for inspecting and maintaining these clustered wirings. When there is no need to move or maintain the lines, the cover 490 can conceal the opening of the passage.

[0107] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned examples of load-bearing structures (including drawings) are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent all applicable forms, nor are they intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Appropriate changes and modifications can be made to the load-bearing structures of the embodiments based on the configuration of the cabinet unit used in actual applications and the materials selected for manufacturing the load-bearing structure.

[0108] The above embodiments illustrate some assembly methods where the base size of the load-bearing structure is larger than the base plate size of the cabinet unit 10, but this disclosure is not limited thereto. The base size of the load-bearing structure may also be approximately equal to or slightly smaller than the base plate size of the cabinet unit 10. The following are some examples of embodiments.

[0109] Figure 6 illustrates a perspective view of a movable cabinet system 5 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 7 illustrates a perspective view of a support structure 50 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Components in Figures 6 and 7 that are the same or similar to those in Figures 1 and 2 are referred to by the same or similar reference numerals, and reference can be made to the contents of the above embodiments regarding these components.

[0110] In some embodiments, the movable cabinet system 5 includes a cabinet unit 10 and a support structure 50, with the cabinet unit 10 disposed on the support structure 50. In some embodiments, the support structure 50 includes a base 510 and a support assembly 530, wherein the cabinet unit 10 is disposed on the top surface 512 of the base 510, and the support assembly 530 is disposed on the bottom surface 511 of the base 510. In some embodiments, the base dimension of the support structure is approximately equal to the bottom plate dimension of the cabinet unit 10. That is, the length L1 of the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 is approximately equal to the length L2 of the top surface 512 of the base 510, and the width W1 of the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 is approximately equal to the width W2 of the top surface 512 of the base 510. The components of the cabinet unit 10 can be referred to FIG1A and related descriptions of the above embodiments.

[0111] In some embodiments, the support assembly 530 may include support columns and / or support plates, and define one or more channels below the base 510. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate channels CH11 and CH12 extending in the Y direction, and channels CH21 and CH22 extending in the X direction.

[0112] The multiple support plates connected to the base 510 can have different configurations. In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 and 7, the support assembly 530 of the load-bearing structure 50 includes a set of oppositely arranged support plates 532 and another set of oppositely arranged support plates 533. The support plates 532 are, for example, recessed into the side surface of the base 510 and surrounded by a frame portion 532F, which is connected to the base 510. The support plates 533 are, for example, coplanar with the side surface of the base 510.

[0113] In some embodiments, the oppositely arranged support plate 532 has openings 53H-11 and 53H-12 to form channels CH11 and CH12 extending in the Y direction; the oppositely arranged support plate 533 has openings 53H-21 and 53H-22 to form channels CH21 and CH22 extending in the X direction.

[0114] Furthermore, the multiple support plates connected to the base 510 may have the same configuration. For example, all support plates may be coplanar with or not coplanar with the connected base 510. In some embodiments, the support plates connected to each side of the base 510 are all coplanar with the base 510 (as shown in support plate 533 in FIG7). In some embodiments, the support plates connected to each side of the base 510 may all be recessed into the side of the base 510 and surrounded and connected to the base 510 by a frame portion (as shown in support plate 532 and frame portion 532F in FIG7).

[0115] In some embodiments, the load-bearing structure 50 comprises a metal (e.g., steel), one or more different concrete materials, one or more polymer materials, or a combination of the foregoing. In some embodiments, the base 510 and the support assembly 530 are integrally formed. In some embodiments, the base 510 and the support assembly 530 are manufactured separately and then joined by, for example, locking, mortise and tenon joint, or any feasible fixing method. In some embodiments, the base 510 and the support assembly 530 comprise the same material. In some embodiments, the base 510 and the support assembly 530 comprise different materials.

[0116] In some embodiments, the cabinet unit 10 is mounted on the support structure 50 via a locking mechanism. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 is disposed on the top surface 512 of the base 510, and the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 50 are secured and joined by a plurality of connectors 550. In some embodiments, the connectors 550 may be arranged around the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 50 as external locking devices. Furthermore, the connectors 550 used may include the same or different styles for securing and joining the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 50.

[0117] Figure 8 illustrates a partial enlarged perspective view of a movable cabinet unit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, showing a connector 550A that secures and joins the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 50. Figure 9 illustrates a partial enlarged perspective view of a movable cabinet unit according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, showing a connector 550B that secures and joins the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 50.

[0118] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in some embodiments, connector 550A may include a connecting material and a bolt. The connecting material has a straight cross-section. In some embodiments, the connecting material is made of a straight sheet of metal. In some embodiments, the connecting material is a single-piece angle steel.

[0119] As shown in Figure 8, in some embodiments, the connecting material of connector 550A has a first portion 551 and a second portion 552 at both ends, and a third portion 553 is located between the first portion 551 and the second portion 552, wherein the three portions are generally parallel to each other. In some embodiments, the first portion 551, the second portion 552, and the third portion 553 are made of the same material and are integrally formed. In some embodiments, the first portion 551 is fixed to a side plate 11 of the cabinet unit 10, for example, by a locking method (Figure 8). In some other embodiments, the first portion 551 can be fixed to the side of the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 by a locking method. In some embodiments, the second portion 552 is fixed to a support component of the load-bearing structure 50, for example, a support plate 533, by a locking method.

[0120] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG8, the first portion 551 of the connecting material has one or more through holes (not shown) for bolts to pass through, and the second portion 552 has multiple through holes (not shown) for bolts to pass through. In some embodiments, the screw hole 55H1 of the side plate 11 of the cabinet unit can be substantially aligned with the through hole of the first portion 551, and the bolt 554 passes through the through hole of the first portion 551 and is screwed into the screw hole 55H1. In some embodiments, the screw hole 55H2 of the support plate 533 of the supporting structure 50 can be substantially aligned with the through hole of the second portion 552, and the bolt 555 passes through the through hole of the second portion 552 and is screwed into the screw hole 55H2, thereby assembling the cabinet unit 10 and the supporting structure 50 by fixing them together with the connector 550A. After bolts 554 and 555 are locked into bolt holes 55H1 and 55H2 respectively, the first part 551 of connector 550A abuts against the side plate 11 of cabinet unit, the second part 552 of connector 550A abuts against the support component 530 of bearing structure 30, and the third part 553 is approximately close to the side of base 510 of bearing structure 50.

[0121] As shown in Figures 7 and 9, in some embodiments, connector 550B in Figure 9 is similar to connector 550A in Figure 8, but also includes an overlap 540 to provide a locking plane for bolt 555. Connector 550B, as shown in Figure 9, includes a connecting material with a straight cross-section, comprising a first portion 551, a second portion 552, and a third portion 553 located between the first and second portions 551 and 552. Connector 550B also includes an overlap 540 with a C-shaped cross-section. The overlap 540 is provided on the support plate 532, for example, by welding or other means. In some embodiments, the second portion 552 is located on surface 5401 of the overlap 540. In some embodiments, bolt 554 passes through a through-hole in the first portion 551 and is screwed into a threaded hole 55H1, and bolt 555 passes through a through-hole in the second portion 552 and is screwed into a threaded hole 55H4 of the overlap 540.

[0122] As shown in FIG. 6, the movable cabinet system 5, although the top surface 512 of the base 510 of the supporting structure 50 does not provide additional area outside the cabinet unit 10 for mounting the hanging assembly (the hanging assembly 370 locked to the base 310 as shown in FIG. 2), can still have the hanging assembly 570 mounted on the top plate 12 of the cabinet unit 10. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, the hanging assembly 570 includes a stud 571 and a lifting ring 573 connecting the stud 571. In some embodiments, the top plate 12 has a screw hole 57H, through which the stud 571 of the hanging assembly 570 passes and is fixed. In some embodiments, in addition to using a transport arm (not shown) placed in channels CH11, CH12 or channels CH21, CH22 to lift and transport the entire supporting structure 50 and the cabinet unit 10 above it, a hanging device (not shown) can also be used to lift and move the cabinet unit 10 together with the supporting structure 50 through the hanging assembly 570.

[0123] In addition to the above embodiments where the cabinet unit 10 is assembled and fixed to the load-bearing structure (30 / 30' / 40 / 50) by locking and fastening, in some other embodiments, the cabinet unit 10 can also be assembled and fixed to a load-bearing structure by pre-casting as a single unit.

[0124] Figure 10 illustrates a perspective view of a movable cabinet system 5' according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 11 illustrates a perspective view of a support structure 50' according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Components in Figures 10 and 11 that are the same or similar to those in Figures 6 and 7 are referred to by the same or similar reference numerals, and reference can be made to the contents of the above embodiments regarding these components.

[0125] In some embodiments, the movable cabinet system 5' includes a cabinet unit 10 and a support structure 50', with the cabinet unit 10 disposed on the support structure 50'. In some embodiments, the support structure 50' includes a base 510 and a support assembly 530, wherein the cabinet unit 10 is disposed on the top surface 512 of the base 510, and the support assembly 530 is disposed on the bottom surface 511 of the base 510.

[0126] In some embodiments, the load-bearing structure 50' can be pre-cast (as shown in Figure 11). After assembling the load-bearing structure 50' and the cabinet unit 10, the load-bearing structure 50' has the function of dispersing stress or providing cushioning, which can prevent the weight of the cabinet unit 10 from being directly concentrated on the relatively small handling arm, thus avoiding excessive stress and causing cracks in the cabinet panels (especially the bottom plate).

[0127] In some embodiments, the precast load-bearing structure 50' comprises metal (e.g., steel), one or more different concrete materials, one or more polymer materials, or a combination of the foregoing. In some embodiments, the material of the precast load-bearing structure 50' is harder, has greater tensile strength, and / or has higher density than the sheet material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, to avoid excessive stress concentration that could damage the cabinet panels. In some embodiments, the material of the precast load-bearing structure 50' is less hard, has lower tensile strength, and / or has lower density than the sheet material (e.g., base plate 13) of the cabinet unit 10, to further improve the cushioning effect of the load-bearing structure 50'.

[0128] According to some embodiments, in the precast integrated assembly method, taking the concrete-based load-bearing structure 50' as an example, embedded parts 60 are first set in the template, such as the four metal embedded parts 60A, 60B, 60C, and 60D shown in Figure 11. Concrete is poured in, and after the concrete hardens, these four metal columns (embedded parts 60A, 60B, 60C, and 60D) are embedded in the concrete-based load-bearing structure 50', serving to connect the load-bearing structure 50' with the cabinet unit 10. Furthermore, after the concrete hardens, these four metal columns (embedded parts 60A, 60B, 60C, and 60D) also have a supporting function similar to reinforcing bars, and are themselves part of the cabinet unit 10. Then, the cabinet unit 10 is manufactured. For example, the precast load-bearing structure 50' along with the embedded parts 60 is placed in a mold, and then the material of the cabinet unit 10 (e.g., UHPC concrete) is injected into the mold and cured. This method of joining the pre-cast load-bearing structure 50' with the cabinet unit 10 through embedding molding is called the insert molding process. The embedded part 60 of the load-bearing structure 50' produced by the insert molding process can be covered with a layer of material used to manufacture the cabinet unit 10. The material of the embedded part 60 can be metal or other suitable materials that can connect the load-bearing structure and the cabinet unit and serve as cabinet support. The number, cross-sectional shape, and dimensions (including length, width, and height) of the embedded parts 60 can also be adjusted and varied according to the actual application requirements, and this disclosure does not impose many restrictions on this.

[0129] In some embodiments, the precast load-bearing structure 50' comprises general concrete with low hardness, and the cabinet unit 10 comprises ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) with high hardness. The movable cabinet system 5' is made by precast injection molding process. The load-bearing structure 50' below the cabinet unit 10 has relatively soft concrete and can serve as a buffer under the cabinet unit 10. The assembly and integration of the load-bearing structure 50' and the cabinet unit 10 can be completed through the above-mentioned precast integral assembly method, so that the base 510 is connected to the bottom plate of the cabinet unit 10.

[0130] Unlike other manufacturing methods, the load-bearing structure 50' can be pre-cast using a systematic production process. Then, the cabinet unit 10 and the load-bearing structure 50' are pre-cast and assembled on-site during the pouring of the cabinet unit 10, saving overall construction time. In addition, in some embodiments, bolt fastening or other methods can be used to further strengthen the assembly between the cabinet unit 10 and the load-bearing structure 50'.

[0131] Besides the above embodiments that use locking installation, pre-cast integral installation, or other methods to assemble and fix the cabinet unit and the load-bearing structure, in some other embodiments, other suitable methods can also be used, such as riveting, snap-fitting, or slide rail docking, to assemble and fix the cabinet unit and the load-bearing structure. The following are illustrations of several installation methods, but are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the embodiments disclosed herein.

[0132] Figure 12A illustrates a movable cabinet system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, showing a partial schematic diagram of cabinet unit 10, support structure 70, and connector 750. Figures 12B-1 and 12B-2 are partial schematic diagrams of the cabinet unit 10 and support structure 70 of Figure 12A engaged, wherein Figure 12B-1 is a perspective view and Figure 12B-2 is a perspective view. The support structure 70 includes a base 710 and a support assembly 730, wherein the support assembly 730 is disposed on the bottom surface 711 of the base 710. In some embodiments, multiple connectors may be provided between the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 70 to assemble the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 70 by engagement.

[0133] In some embodiments, each connector 750 includes a first connector 751 disposed on the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10, and a second connector 752 disposed on the base 710 of the support structure 70. The first connector 751 and the second connector 752 extend in different directions, for example, perpendicular to each other. The first connector 751 has a bottom surface 7511 and a top surface 7512, with the base plate 13 located on the top surface 7512; the second connector 752 has a bottom surface 7521 and a top surface 7522, with the bottom surface 7521 located on the base 710. In some embodiments, the first connector 751 has a first recess 753 recessed from the bottom surface 7511 toward the top surface 7512; the second connector 752 has a second recess 754 recessed from the top surface 7522 toward the bottom surface 7521. FIG12A also shows a bottom view of the base plate 13 and the first connector 751.

[0134] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 12B-1 and 12B-2, a first connecting member 751 spans across a second connecting member 752, and a first recess 753 and a second recess 754 are configured to mate with each other to assemble the cabinet unit 10 and the supporting structure 70. In some embodiments, the first connecting member 751 and the second connecting member 752 have approximately the same thickness. After assembly, the first recess 753 and the second recess 754 engage, the top surface 7512 of the first connecting member 751 is flush with the top surface 7522 of the second connecting member 752, the bottom surface 7511 of the first connecting member 751 contacts the base 710 of the supporting structure 70, and the top surface 7522 of the second connecting member 752 contacts the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10. Therefore, although the first connecting member 751 is stacked across the second connecting member 752 after assembly, it appears to be only the thickness of one connecting member.

[0135] Figure 13A illustrates a movable cabinet system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, showing a partial schematic diagram of cabinet unit 10, support structure 70, and connector 760. Figures 13B-1 and 13B-2 are partial schematic diagrams of the cabinet unit 10 and support structure 70 of Figure 13A engaged, wherein Figure 13B-1 is a perspective view and Figure 13B-2 is a perspective view. As shown in Figures 13A, 13B-1, and 13B-2, the connector 760 disposed between cabinet unit 10 and support structure 70 is also engaged to assemble cabinet unit 10 and support structure 70.

[0136] Referring to Figures 13A, 13B-1, and 13B-2, in some embodiments, each connector 760 includes a protrusion 761 disposed on the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 and a recess 762 disposed on the base 710 of the support structure 70. Figure 13A also shows a bottom view of the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 and the protrusion 761 of the connector 760. In some embodiments, the protrusion 761 is integrally formed with the base plate 13, or is disposed on the base plate 13 by means of bolts, riveting, welding, snap-fitting, etc. The recess 762 is, for example, integrally formed with the base 710. In some embodiments, the protrusion 761 and the recess 762 are configured to cooperate with each other to assemble the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 70. In some embodiments, after assembly, the protrusion 761 is embedded and engaged in the recess 762, and the bottom plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 contacts and adheres to the base 710 of the support structure 70, so that there is no gap between the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 70.

[0137] In addition, in some embodiments, after the protrusion 761 and the recess 762 in the above example are engaged and assembled, additional bolts or other methods can be used to further strengthen the fastening between the cabinet unit 10 and the load-bearing structure 70.

[0138] Figure 14A illustrates a movable cabinet system according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, showing a partial cross-sectional view of the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 80 assembled by connectors 850. Figure 14B is a partially enlarged view of Figure 14A. The support structure 80 includes a base 810 and a support assembly 830. In some embodiments, a plurality of connectors 850 are provided between the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 80, and these connectors 850 engage, for example, by means of sliding rails, to complete the assembly of the cabinet unit 10 and the support structure 80.

[0139] In some embodiments, the connector 850 includes a base 851 disposed on the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10 and a track 852 disposed on the base 810 of the support structure 80.

[0140] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 14A and 14B, the base plate 13 has a plurality of screw holes 130H extending from the top surface 132 to the bottom surface 131 of the base plate 13, and the seat 851 of the connector 850 has a plurality of screw holes 851H corresponding to the screw holes 130H of the base plate 13. When the seat 851 is mounted on the base plate 13 of the cabinet unit 10, screws 853 pass through the screw holes 130H of the base plate 13 and are screwed and locked to the screw holes 851H of the seat 851. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the base 810 has a plurality of screw holes 810H, and the track 852 has a plurality of screw holes 852H through which screws can pass. When the track 852 is mounted on the base 810, the screw holes 852H of the track 852 correspond to the screw holes 810H of the base 810. Screws 854 can pass through the screw holes 852H of the track 852 and be screwed into the screw holes 810H of the base 810 to fix the track 852 on the base 810. As shown in Figure 14A, in some embodiments, the seat 851, located below the base plate 13, is movably mounted across the track 852, and the seat 851 and the track 852 are configured to mate with each other to assemble the cabinet unit 10 and the supporting structure 80. Additionally, the track 852 may be provided with positioning elements (not shown), such as clamps, stops, or positioning screws, to prevent the seat 851 from detaching from the track 852.

[0141] In summary, the movable cabinet system proposed in some embodiments of this disclosure includes a cabinet unit mounted on a support structure. The support structure includes a base and support components disposed on the bottom surface of the base, with the bottom surface of the base forming one or more channels. In some embodiments, at least one of the base plate and side plates of the cabinet unit is assembled and engaged with the support structure to at least limit the displacement of the cabinet unit in the direction of the channel extension. In some embodiments, the cabinet unit can be assembled and engaged with the support structure through pre-cast integral, locking, snap-fit, slide rail docking, or a combination of the foregoing methods. According to the embodiments of this disclosure, in addition to moving the movable cabinet system by suspension, the support structure assembled and engaged with the cabinet unit can also provide a non-suspension handling device (e.g., a forklift) for lifting and moving the cabinet system. Therefore, the movable cabinet system proposed in the embodiments can significantly reduce the limitations of the space size of the placement area on the movement, especially in indoor environments with low ceilings or storage areas with narrow spaces, where the embodiments provide a more suitable movement method. Furthermore, compared to sling-mounting, lifting from the bottom of the cabinet unit allows for simpler and faster handling and movement, thereby reducing handling time and costs. In some embodiments, the cabinet unit may include concrete (e.g., UHPC) panels, and the load-bearing structure of the embodiments prevents the weight of the cabinet unit from being excessively concentrated on the handling arms of the handling device, thus avoiding cracks or even damage to the cabinet panels (especially the bottom plate). In some embodiments, if the hardness, tensile strength, and / or density of the load-bearing structure are greater than those of the cabinet unit's panels (e.g., the bottom plate), excessive stress concentration can be avoided, preventing damage to the cabinet panels. Furthermore, in some embodiments, if the hardness, tensile strength, and / or density of the load-bearing structure are less than those of the cabinet unit's panels (e.g., the bottom plate), a cushioning effect can be further provided. When the cabinet is placed in a predetermined position or during an earthquake, the load-bearing structure of the embodiments also has a shock-absorbing function, preventing damage to the cabinet panels and / or the internal battery system. In addition, in some embodiments, an adjustment element may be provided at the load-bearing structure, for example, at the bottom of the support assembly, to adjust the level of the load-bearing structure, thereby reducing the impact of the ground condition on the movable cabinet system.

[0142] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or instances for implementing various features of the provided object. Specific examples of elements and configurations will be described below to simplify this disclosure. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to be limiting. For example, in the following description, "forming a first member above or on a second member" may include embodiments in which the first and second members are in direct contact, and may also include embodiments in which additional members may be formed between the first and second members such that the first and second members are not in direct contact.
