Technical Field

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to an energy storage device, an energy storage system, and a charging network. Background Art

[0003] With the rapid development of science and technology, electricity has become an indispensable energy source for people's production and daily life. To ensure the smooth supply of electricity and the normal operation of production and life, energy storage devices are needed. Energy storage devices are devices that cyclically store and release electrical energy. By charging or discharging the energy storage device, electrical energy is stored in the energy storage device or supplied to electrical devices. Energy storage devices are widely used in industrial power supply, household power supply, temporary power supply, mobile power supply, wind power generation, solar power generation, and energy storage power stations.

[0004] In the development of energy storage devices, in addition to improving their performance, reducing their operating costs is also an important issue that cannot be ignored. Therefore, reducing the operating costs of energy storage devices is a technical issue that requires continuous improvement in energy storage technology. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure aim to provide an energy storage device, an energy storage system, and a charging network that can reduce the cost of using the energy storage device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an energy storage device, comprising:

[0007] Multiple energy units;

[0008] A plurality of bins, wherein the plurality of bins are arranged along the height direction of the energy storage device, and each of the plurality of bins contains the energy unit;

[0009] a control module, the control module being used to electrically control the energy units in the plurality of bins;

[0010] Wherein, the size of at least one of the plurality of warehouse bodies along the height direction is different from the sizes of the other warehouse bodies along the height direction.

[0011] The energy storage device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the dimension of at least one of the multiple bins in the height direction to be different from the dimension of the other bins in the height direction, is convenient for improving the flexibility of the bin capacity to match different needs. In addition, other components of the energy storage device except the energy unit can be accommodated in a bin with a relatively large dimension in the height direction. In this way, the energy units accommodated in different bins can be roughly the same or completely the same, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the energy units and reducing costs. In addition, it is beneficial to improving the uniformity of the power of different bins, thereby improving the performance of the energy storage device.

[0012] In some embodiments, the dimension of each warehouse body along the height direction is greater than or equal to one third of the dimension of the standard container along the height direction, and is smaller than the dimension of one standard container along the height direction.

[0013] The size of the warehouse body cannot be infinitely small. When the dimensions of the warehouse body along the height direction are greater than or equal to one-third of the dimensions of a standard container along the height direction, the energy storage device has high manufacturability, high volume energy density, and is more convenient to transport and install.

[0014] In some embodiments, the dimension of each warehouse body along the height direction is greater than or equal to half the dimension of the standard container along the height direction, and is smaller than the dimension of one standard container along the height direction.

[0015] When the dimensions of the silo along the height direction are greater than or equal to half the dimensions of a standard container along the height direction, the energy storage device has high manufacturability, high volume energy density, and is more convenient to transport and install. For example, when the energy storage device includes two stacked silos, multiple energy units are placed in each silo, and the dimensions of each silo along the height direction are greater than or equal to half the dimensions of a standard container along the height direction, and less than the dimensions of a standard container along the height direction. When the two silos are stacked, they are taller than the height of a standard container, but the total weight of each silo containing components such as energy units is lower. With this arrangement, each silo containing components such as energy units of the energy storage device can be transported separately, and after being stacked at the place of use, the energy storage device has a higher power consumption.

[0016] In some embodiments, the dimension of each warehouse body along the height direction is greater than or equal to one-third of the dimension of the standard container along the height direction, and is less than one-half of the dimension of the standard container along the height direction.

[0017] When the dimensions of the warehouse bodies along the height direction are greater than or equal to one-third of the dimensions of a standard container along the height direction, the energy storage device has high manufacturability, high volume energy density, and is more convenient to transport and install. For example, when the energy storage device includes three stacked warehouse bodies, multiple energy units are placed in each warehouse body, and the dimensions of each warehouse body along the height direction are greater than or equal to one-third of the dimensions of a standard container along the height direction, and less than one-half of the dimensions of a standard container along the height direction. After the three warehouse bodies are stacked, they are taller than the height of a standard container, but the total weight of each warehouse body containing energy units and other components is lower. With this arrangement, each warehouse body containing energy units and other components of the energy storage device can be transported separately, and after being stacked at the place of use, the energy storage device has a higher power consumption.

[0018] In some embodiments, the sum of the dimensions of the plurality of warehouse bodies along the height direction is greater than the sum of the dimensions of one or more standard containers along the height direction.

[0019] By reducing the size of the silo, the total weight of the silo and its components can be reduced, which helps to improve the problem of overweight transportation, reduces the transportation cost of the energy storage device, and thus reduces the cost of using the energy storage device. The sum of the height dimensions of the multiple silos is set to be greater than the sum of the height dimensions of one or more standard containers. In other words, on the one hand, the sum of the height dimensions of the multiple silos is set to be greater than the sum of the height dimensions of one or more standard containers. This means that the height dimension of at least one silo is made as large as possible, which can maximize the power of the energy storage device while meeting the transportation weight. On the other hand, this helps to increase the volume and power of the energy storage device, further reducing the cost of using the energy storage device.

[0020] In some embodiments, there are m warehouse bodies, the sum of the dimensions of m1 of the m warehouse bodies along the height direction is smaller than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 of the m warehouse bodies along the height direction is greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, m is greater than m1, m is greater than or equal to 2, and m1 is greater than or equal to n.

[0021] In this embodiment, by setting the sum of the height dimensions of m1 silos to be less than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers, and m1 ≥ n, that is, by reducing the size of the silo, the total weight of the silo and the components within the silo can be reduced, which helps to improve the problem of overweight transportation, reduces the transportation cost of the energy storage device, and thus reduces the cost of using the energy storage device. On the other hand, by setting the sum of the height dimensions of m1+1 silos to be greater than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers, it means that the height dimension of at least one silo is made as large as possible, and the power of the energy storage device can be increased as much as possible while meeting the transportation weight. On the other hand, it is beneficial to increase the volume and power of the energy storage device, further reducing the cost of using the energy storage device.

[0022] In some embodiments, m1=1, n=1; or, m1=2, n=1; or, m1=2, n=2.

[0023] In some embodiments, the height dimension of the warehouse body is h, 850mm≤h<2896mm.

[0024] In this embodiment, by setting the height of the silo to 850mm≤h<2896mm, the total weight of the silo and the components inside the silo is reduced, and the volume and power of the energy storage device can be increased as much as possible, thereby reducing the use cost of the energy storage device.

[0025] In some embodiments, 1300 mm ≤ h ≤ 2400 mm.

[0026] This is beneficial to reducing the total weight of the warehouse body and the components inside the warehouse body, and can maximize the volume and power of the energy storage device, further reducing the use cost of the energy storage device.

[0027] In some embodiments, the dimension of each of the warehouse bodies along its length direction is consistent with the dimension of the standard container along its length direction, and the dimension of each of the warehouse bodies along its width direction is consistent with the dimension of the standard container along its width direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, by setting the size of each warehouse body along its length direction to be consistent with the size of the length direction of a standard container, and setting the size of each warehouse body along its width direction to be consistent with the size of the width direction of a standard container, it is convenient to match the transportation tools and slings of existing standard containers, reducing the transportation cost of the energy storage device, and thus reducing the use cost of the energy storage device.

[0029] In some embodiments, the heights of the storage bodies except the top storage body are the same.

[0030] In this embodiment, by setting the heights of the other bin bodies except the top bin body to be the same, that is, the other bin bodies except the top bin body can use the same bin body, which is beneficial to improving the versatility of the bin body and thus helping to reduce costs.

[0031] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes a thermal management module, there are m storage bodies, and the thermal management module is used to manage the temperatures of the multiple energy units in the m storage bodies.

[0032] In this embodiment, by providing a thermal management module, the thermal management module can manage the temperature of the energy unit and reduce the risk of the temperature of the energy unit being out of control.

[0033] In addition, the energy storage devices share a thermal management module to form a complete system, which helps save space.

[0034] In some embodiments, there are m warehouse bodies, each of which contains a plurality of the energy units, and the control module is used to electrically control the plurality of the energy units in the m warehouse bodies.

[0035] In other words, the energy storage devices share a control module to form a complete system, which helps save space.

[0036] In some embodiments, the plurality of bins include a first bin and at least one second bin, the first bin is located above the second bin, and the thermal management module is located in the first bin.

[0037] In this embodiment, by placing the thermal management module in the topmost first compartment, there is no obstruction above the thermal management module, which facilitates heat dissipation from the thermal management module, thereby increasing the service life of the energy storage device. This also helps lower the overall center of gravity of the individual compartments, which is beneficial for transportation safety. Furthermore, the design of a separate compartment from the energy compartment improves the thermal insulation of the energy compartment. The thermal management module blocks thermal radiation from the top, reducing its impact on the interior of the energy compartment.

[0038] In some embodiments, the height of the first bin body is greater than the height of the second bin body.

[0039] This increases the space within the housing housing the thermal management module, thereby reducing the impact of the thermal management module on the energy unit's storage volume. This ensures that the housing has sufficient space to accommodate both the energy unit and the thermal management module. Furthermore, it can accommodate thermal management modules with higher cooling capacity, improving thermal management capabilities.

[0040] In some embodiments, the thermal management module includes a fan and a condenser, and the fan and the condenser are located at the top of the first bin body. The top wall and / or side wall of the first bin body are provided with ventilators, and the vents are used for ventilation of the thermal management module.

[0041] In this embodiment, the vents are located on the top wall and / or side wall of the first housing, which is beneficial to heat dissipation of the thermal management module, so that the thermal management module can have more heat dissipation channels and improve the temperature control effect of the thermal management module.

[0042] In some embodiments, the plurality of bins include a first bin and at least one second bin, wherein the first bin is located above the second bin; and the control module includes a master control module, which is located in the second bin.

[0043] Here, the master control module is located in the second compartment, which is convenient for maintenance. Moreover, the combination of one master control module and two main control modules is helpful to save space and reduce costs.

[0044] In some embodiments, the control module includes two main control modules, which are respectively located in the first warehouse and the second warehouse, and the two main control modules are used to control the input or output of electrical energy of the energy units in the first warehouse and the second warehouse, respectively. The two main control modules are electrically connected to the main control module.

[0045] Here, main control modules are provided in both the first and second warehouses, so as to facilitate the connection between the main control modules and the energy units in the first and second warehouses.

[0046] In some embodiments, the control module includes a fire control module, which is located in the first bin or the second bin and is used to perform fire control on the energy units in the first bin and the second bin.

[0047] Fire protection for the first and second bins is carried out through one fire control module, which is beneficial to saving space and reducing costs.

[0048] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes an energy storage converter, which is housed in the first compartment or the second compartment, and is electrically connected to the energy units in the plurality of compartments.

[0049] In order to facilitate quick installation at the customer's site, at least part of the energy storage converter is accommodated in the first bin or the second bin. After the bins are stacked on site, the connection with the PCS can be completed, which helps to reduce the workload of on-site assembly, improve assembly efficiency, and facilitate customer use.

[0050] In some embodiments, at least part of the warehouse body includes a first connector, which is electrically connected to the control module. Each of the warehouse bodies includes a second connector, which is electrically connected to multiple energy units. The first connector is used to cooperate with each of the second connectors.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first connector cooperates with each second connector to achieve a quick connection between the control module and the energy unit, making the connection between the control module and the energy unit more convenient.

[0052] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes a plurality of battery devices, each of the battery devices includes a thermal management component and a plurality of the energy units, and the thermal management component is used to regulate the temperature of the energy units;

[0053] At least part of the warehouse body includes a third connector, each of the warehouse bodies includes a fourth connector, the third connector is connected to the thermal management module, the fourth connector is connected to the thermal management component, and the third connector is used to cooperate with each of the fourth connectors.

[0054] In this embodiment, the third connector and the fourth connector cooperate to achieve rapid connection between the thermal management component and the thermal management module, thereby facilitating installation of the thermal management module.

[0055] In some embodiments, the thermal management module is connected to the multiple thermal management components through a liquid cooling pipeline, the liquid cooling pipeline includes a main pipeline and multiple branch pipelines, the multiple branch pipelines are connected to the main pipeline in parallel, the main pipeline is connected to the thermal management module, and the multiple branch pipelines are respectively connected to the multiple thermal management components; the main pipeline is located above the multiple battery devices, or the main pipeline is located below the multiple battery devices.

[0056] Here, by arranging the main pipe above the multiple battery devices, or below the multiple battery devices, the liquid cooling pipe can be shortened, thereby reducing costs and improving cooling efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments, the energy unit is a battery cell, and the weight of a single energy unit is 5 kg to 60 kg.

[0058] The weight of the energy unit is appropriate so that an appropriate amount of energy units can be placed in the warehouse, and the energy density is moderate while meeting the transportation needs.

[0059] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes an energy storage bin, which includes a bin body and components disposed within the bin body. The weight of the energy storage bin is M, and M is less than or equal to 35 tons.

[0060] In order to ensure that a single energy storage bin meets the transportation limit requirements of some countries, the overall weight of the energy storage bin is controlled within 35 tons, and the integration of the energy storage bin is as high as possible to reduce the workload of on-site installation; at the same time, the energy per unit area is increased to reduce customers' cost investment.

[0061] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes an energy storage bin, which includes a bin body and components arranged in the bin body. The weight of the energy storage bin is M, and the total weight of the energy units in the bin body is M1, (M1 / M)×100%≥60%.

[0062] In this way, on the one hand, the weight proportion of energy units in the unit volume of the warehouse can be increased, and the power of the energy storage device per unit volume can be increased; on the other hand, during the transportation of the energy storage device, more energy units that contribute to the stored energy and are difficult to produce and cannot be completed at the destination are transported, while other structures can be produced at a place closer to the destination without having to be transported or with reduced transportation. After the warehouse is assembled into the energy storage device, it is beneficial to reduce the transportation cost of the assembled energy storage device.

[0063] In some embodiments, (M1 / M)×100%≥80%.

[0064] This is further beneficial to reducing the transportation cost of the assembled energy storage device.

[0065] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes an energy storage bin, which includes a bin body and components arranged in the bin body. The weight of the energy storage bin is M. A plurality of battery devices are arranged in the bin body, and the battery device includes a box body and a plurality of energy units. The plurality of energy units are accommodated in the box body. The total weight of the battery device is M2, 70%≤(M2 / M)×100%≤90%.

[0066] It can take into account both the energy density of the energy storage warehouse and the structural strength of the warehouse body, making the warehouse body more practical.

[0067] In some embodiments, the volume of the chamber is V, the total volume of the energy units in the chamber is V1, and (V1 / V)×100%≥30%.

[0068] On the one hand, the volume ratio of energy units in the unit volume of the warehouse can be increased, and the power of the energy storage device per unit volume can be increased; on the other hand, during the transportation of the energy storage device, more energy units that contribute to the stored energy and are difficult to produce and cannot be completed at the destination are transported, while other functional components of the energy storage device, such as control components, can be produced at a location closer to the destination without having to be transported or with reduced transportation. After the warehouse is assembled into the energy storage device, it is beneficial to reduce the transportation cost of the assembled energy storage device.

[0069] In some embodiments, (V1 / V)×100%≥50%.

[0070] This is further beneficial to reducing the transportation cost of the assembled energy storage device.

[0071] In some embodiments, the volume of the warehouse is V, and multiple battery devices are arranged in the warehouse. The battery device includes a box and multiple energy units. The multiple energy units are accommodated in the box. The total volume of the battery device is V2, 50%≤(V2 / V)×100%≤80%.

[0072] It can take into account both the energy density of the energy storage device and the structural strength of the warehouse body, and the practicality of the warehouse body is stronger.

[0073] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes an energy storage bin, which includes a bin body and components disposed within the bin body. The energy of the energy storage bin is E, the size of the bin body along the length direction is a, the size of the bin body along the width direction is b, and the energy of the energy storage bin is 250KW / m 2 ≤E / (a×b)≤700KW / m 2 .

[0074] The energy density of the energy storage device 100 and the mass setting of the warehouse body 10 are taken into consideration, thereby improving the practicality of the energy storage device 100 and facilitating the transportation of the energy storage device 100.

[0075] In some embodiments, 450KW / m 2 ≤E / (a×b)≤600KW / m 2 .

[0076] The energy density of the energy storage device 100 and the mass setting of the warehouse body 10 can be further improved, making transportation of the energy storage device 100 easier.

[0077] In some embodiments, along the height direction of the bin body, two adjacent bin bodies are connected by welding, snapping, locking or by fixing parts.

[0078] This helps reduce the risk of two adjacent bins moving relative to each other after stacking, thereby improving the structural stability of the energy storage device.

[0079] In some embodiments, the plurality of bin bodies include a first bin body and a second bin body, the first bin body is located above the second bin body, a limiting pin is provided at the bottom of the first bin body, a limiting hole is provided at the top of the second bin body, and the limiting pin is engaged with the limiting hole.

[0080] The two adjacent bins are fixed by engaging the limiting pins with the limiting holes, and the purpose of limiting the relative movement of the two adjacent bins is achieved by adopting a simple structure.

[0081] In some embodiments, a first limiting member is provided at the bottom of the first bin body, the first limiting member is provided with a limiting groove, a second limiting member is provided at the top of the second bin body, the second limiting member is provided with the limiting hole, and the two ends of the limiting pin are respectively engaged with the limiting groove and the limiting hole.

[0082] The two adjacent bins are fixed by respectively engaging the two ends of the limit pin with the limit groove and the limit hole, and the purpose of limiting the relative movement of the two adjacent bins is achieved with a simple structure.

[0083] In some embodiments, there are m warehouse bodies, and the energy storage device further includes a connecting mechanism, wherein the connecting mechanism is configured to connect two warehouse bodies adjacent to each other along the height direction of the warehouse bodies;

[0084] In which, the connecting mechanism includes a support member, which is arranged between two adjacent warehouse bodies along the height direction; the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies among the m warehouse bodies along the height direction and the sum of the dimensions of m1-1 support members along the height direction is less than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers in the height direction, and the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies among the m warehouse bodies along the height direction and the sum of the dimensions of m1 support members along the height direction is greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers in the height direction.

[0085] Connecting the silos through a connecting mechanism makes stacking the silos more stable. During transportation, the sum of the height dimensions of m1 silos plus the sum of the height dimensions of the supports between two adjacent silos in the m1 silo is less than the sum of the heights of n standard containers. The sum of the height dimensions of m1+1 silos in the m silo plus the sum of the height dimensions of m1 supports is greater than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers. This helps increase the volume and energy capacity of the energy storage device, further reducing its operating costs.

[0086] In some embodiments, the standard container is a 20-foot standard container, and the height of the standard container is 2896 mm, 2591 mm, or 2438 mm.

[0087] In some embodiments, at least part of the interior of the warehouse body has an energy warehouse and a control warehouse, the energy warehouse is used to accommodate at least one of the energy units, at least part of the control module and / or at least part of the thermal management module is accommodated in the control warehouse; the warehouse body is provided with a first warehouse door on at least one side along the width direction, and the control warehouse and / or the pipeline warehouse are provided with a second warehouse door on at least one side along the width direction.

[0088] In this embodiment, it is helpful to reduce the land waste of traditional warehouses that must reserve maintenance channels of more than 3m between adjacent warehouses. Only normal paint repair channels need to be reserved between the grid warehouses, which increases the user's land investment returns and increases the user's energy benefits per unit area.

[0112] Unless otherwise specified, all technical features and optional technical features disclosed herein can be combined with each other to form a new technical solution.

[0113] With the development of clean energy, more and more devices are using electricity as a driving force. Consequently, power batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, that can store large amounts of electricity and undergo multiple charge and discharge cycles are rapidly developing. These batteries are not only used in energy storage systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but are also widely used in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric vehicles, as well as in aerospace and other fields.

The separator can be a separate component located between the positive and negative electrodes, or it can be attached to the surfaces of the positive and negative electrodes. The surface of the separator can also be coated with an inorganic particle coating, an organic particle coating, or an organic / inorganic composite coating.

[0128] In some embodiments, the separator is a solid electrolyte, which is disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode and serves to transport ions and isolate the positive and negative electrodes.

[0129] In some embodiments, the energy cell further includes an electrolyte, which acts as a conductive medium between the positive and negative electrodes. The present disclosure does not specifically limit the type of electrolyte, and the electrolyte may be selected based on needs. The electrolyte may be liquid, gel, or solid.

[0130] The electrode assembly may be a wound structure, a laminated structure, or a mixed structure of wound and laminated structures.

[0131] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly is a wound structure, wherein the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are wound into the wound structure.

As an example, when the outer shell is a non-sealed structure, the outer shell serves to protect the electrode assembly, and a sealed bag is further included between the outer shell and the electrode assembly, and the sealed bag is used to encapsulate the electrode assembly and the electrolyte. Specifically, the sealed bag may be a bag-shaped insulating member or an aluminum-plastic film. When the outer shell is a sealed structure, it is used to encapsulate components such as the electrode assembly and the electrolyte.

[0144] In some embodiments, the energy storage device includes an energy storage container, etc.

[0145] Power stations are increasingly demanding higher areal energy density for energy storage devices. To increase power output, the total weight of the storage tank and its components is also increasing. However, energy storage devices must be transported from their production site to their intended destination via land and / or sea transport, which often have weight restrictions. This creates a conflict between the increased energy density and the weight of the storage devices.

[0146] In view of this, the embodiments of the present disclosure propose a new technical solution. The technical solution described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is applicable to energy storage devices, energy storage systems including energy storage devices, and charging networks.

[0147] Energy storage devices can be used in energy storage power stations, wind power generation systems, solar power generation systems, mobile power systems, or temporary power supply systems. Energy storage devices can store electrical energy as needed and output it at the appropriate time. For example, an energy storage device can store electrical energy during periods of low electricity consumption and provide it to relevant users or electrical equipment during periods of peak electricity consumption. The energy storage system provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be any power system that requires an energy storage device.

[0148] Please refer to Figure 1, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of a charging network 1000 provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment of the present disclosure provides a charging network 1000, which includes charging piles 200, which are used to charge electrical devices. Charging network 1000 may also include an energy storage device 100 or energy storage system 2000, which is electrically connected to charging piles 200 and is used to provide electrical energy to charging piles 200.

[0149] It should be noted that the charging pile 200 is electrically connected to the energy unit 2 in the energy storage device 100 via a cable, and the energy unit 2 can provide its stored electrical energy to the charging pile 200. The charging pile 200 has one or more connectors, which are used to connect to electrical equipment (such as vehicles) to replenish energy to the electrical equipment. The application of the energy storage device 100 in the charging network 1000 can effectively improve the reliability of the charging network 1000 and also help improve the flexibility of the charging network 1000 during deployment.

[0150] The energy storage device 100 may be located inside the charging pile 200 (eg, an integrated storage and charging device), or may be located outside the charging pile 200 .

[0151] In a charging network 1000 , there may be one charging pile 200 , and the energy storage device 100 provides power to the one charging pile 200 ; there may also be multiple charging piles 200 , and the energy storage device 100 provides power to multiple charging piles 200 .

[0152] The energy storage device 100 may include multiple warehouse bodies 10 and multiple energy units 2. The multiple energy units 2 are accommodated in at least one warehouse body 10. The energy unit 2 is electrically connected to the charging pile 200 so that the energy unit 2 provides electrical energy to the charging pile 200.

[0153] As an example, as shown in FIG1 , a charging network 1000 includes one energy storage device 100 and two charging piles 200 , and one energy storage device 100 provides electrical energy to the two charging piles 200 .

[0154] Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the structure of an energy storage system 2000 provided in one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment of the present disclosure provides an energy storage system 2000. Energy storage system 2000 includes a power conversion device 300. The power conversion device 300 can be electrically connected to a power generation device 3000 and an energy storage device 100 to convert the electrical power provided by the power generation device 3000. The power conversion device 300 converts the electrical energy provided by the power generation device 3000 into energy storage device 100 for storage.

[0155] The power conversion device is connected between the power generation device 3000 and the energy storage device 100. The power generation device 3000 is used to generate electrical energy, and the generated electrical energy is stored in the energy storage device 100 via the power conversion device. The use of the energy storage device 100 in the energy storage system 2000 can effectively improve the operational reliability of the energy storage system 2000. In a specific implementation, the power generation equipment may include solar panels, hydropower generation equipment, thermal power generation equipment, etc. The specific type of power generation equipment is not limited in this disclosure.

[0156] As an example, as shown in FIG2 , the energy storage system 2000 includes an energy storage device 100 and a power conversion device 300 . The two power generation devices 3000 transmit the generated electric energy to the power conversion device 300 , respectively, and the electric energy is introduced into the energy storage device 100 for storage through the power conversion device 300 .

[0157] 3 to 13 , some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an energy storage device 100 , which includes a plurality of bins 10 , arranged along a height direction of the energy storage device 100 .

[0158] The warehouse body 10 may be a cabinet or a container, and has a cavity inside the warehouse body 10, which can accommodate other components of the energy storage device 100. The warehouse body 10 may be a hexahedral structure.

[0159] The warehouse body 10 is generally a rectangular parallelepiped structure, with both its length and width parallel to the horizontal plane. The length of the warehouse body 10 is parallel to the longest side of the rectangular parallelepiped structure. The height of the warehouse body 10 is perpendicular to the ground. For example, as shown in Figures 3 and 5 , the length of the warehouse body 10 is represented by X, the width of the warehouse body 10 is represented by Y, and the height of the warehouse body 10 is represented by Z.

[0160] The multiple warehouse bodies 10 are arranged along the height direction of the energy storage device 100 , which can be understood as the multiple warehouse bodies 10 being stacked or connected along the height direction of the warehouse body 10 .

[0161] Exemplarily, the height direction is the length direction, width direction or height direction of the warehouse body 10. The embodiment of the present disclosure is described by taking the height direction as an example.

[0162] Referring to Figures 3 and 6 , the number of silos 10 in the energy storage device 100 can be any number greater than two. For example, the energy storage device 100 may include two silos 10 stacked in a vertical direction. Another example is the energy storage device 100 including three silos 10 stacked in a vertical direction. For example, the sum of the heights of all stacked silos 10 is less than or equal to the sum of the heights of eight standard containers stacked together.

[0163] The energy storage device 100 further includes a plurality of energy units 2 , which are used to provide or store electrical energy.

[0164] Here, the energy unit 2 may be a battery cell, or may be a battery device 80 formed by electrically connecting a plurality of battery cells.

[0165] 18 , a plurality of energy units 2 may be formed into multiple layers and / or multiple columns of battery devices 80 , and each row or column of battery devices 80 includes a plurality of battery devices 80 .

[0166] The battery apparatus 80 mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure may include one or more battery cell assemblies for providing voltage and capacity. The battery cell assembly may include multiple battery cells, which are connected in series, parallel, or hybrid via a busbar.

[0167] In some embodiments, a battery cell assembly is generally formed by arranging a plurality of battery cells.

[0168] As an example, the battery cell assembly may be a battery module, which is formed by arranging and fixing multiple battery cells to form an independent module. As an example, the battery module may be formed by bundling multiple battery cells with a cable tie.

[0169] In some embodiments, the battery device 80 may be a battery pack, which includes a case 81 and one or more battery cell assemblies, wherein the battery cell assemblies are housed in the case 81 .

[0170] As an example, the battery cell assembly may be a battery module, and the battery cell assembly may be accommodated in the box body 81 by fixing the battery module in the box body 81 .

[0171] As an example, the battery cell assembly may also be housed in the box body 81 by directly fixing a plurality of battery cells to the box body 81 .

[0172] As an example, referring to Figure 18 , the housing 81 may include a first housing 811 and a second housing 812 . The first housing 811 and the second housing 812 engage to form an enclosed space within the housing 81 for housing the battery cell assembly. Enclosed here means covered or closed, and can be either sealed or unsealed. The first housing 811 can be a top cover or a bottom plate.

[0173] As an example, the box body 81 may include a top cover, a frame, and a bottom plate. The top cover and the bottom plate are respectively connected to the frame, so that a closed space is formed inside the box body 81 to accommodate the battery cell assembly.

[0174] Exemplarily, each of the multiple storage bodies 10 contains an energy unit 2 .

[0175] Here, the number of energy units 2 contained in each warehouse 10 may be the same or different.

[0176] Exemplarily, the energy unit 2 may be a battery module or a battery pack.

[0177] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the energy storage device 100 includes a control module 30 , which is configured to electrically control the energy units 2 within the plurality of bins 10 .

[0178] In this embodiment, by providing a control module 30 , the control module 30 can control the input or output of electrical energy of the energy unit 2 , thereby achieving electrical control of the energy unit 2 .

[0179] Exemplarily, the height dimension of each warehouse body 10 is smaller than the height dimension of a standard container.

[0180] That is to say, the height dimensions of all warehouse bodies 10 are smaller than the height dimensions of a standard container.

[0181] Referring to Figures 3 and 6 , the length dimension a of the silo 10 is the distance between its two ends along the length direction; the width dimension b of the silo 10 is the distance between its two ends along the width direction; and the height dimension h of the silo 10 is the distance between its two ends along the height direction. Dimensions a, b, and h represent the maximum dimensions of the outer contour of the silo 10 in the corresponding directions. The silo 10 can include eight corner fittings and six walls. The eight corner fittings are located at the eight corners of the silo's rectangular structure and protrude from the walls of the silo 10. The total span of the two corner fittings arranged along the height direction is the height of the silo 10, the total span of the two corner fittings arranged along the length direction is the length of the silo 10, and the total span of the two corner fittings arranged along the width direction is the width of the silo 10. When calculating the dimensions of the silo 10, pipes and cables connected to the silo 10 and located outside the silo 10 are not included in the dimensions of the silo 10.

[0182] A standard container may be a standard container size used in transportation, such as 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet, 40 feet, or 45 feet, which meets corresponding standards and has corresponding dimensions for length, width, and height. Standard containers may refer to GB / T1413-2023 Series 1 Container Classification, Dimensions, and Rated Weights.

[0183] 10 feet can include: the length dimension is 2991mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-5mm; the width dimension is 2438mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-5mm; and the height dimension is 2438mm or less than 2438mm; the tolerance is 0mm-5mm.

[0184] 20 feet can include: the length dimension is 6058mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-6mm; the width dimension is 2438mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-5mm; and the height dimension is 2896mm, 2591mm or not more than 2438mm; the tolerance is 0mm-5mm.

[0185] 30 feet can include: the length dimension is 9125mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-10mm; the width dimension is 2438mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-5mm; and the height dimension is 2896mm, 2591mm or not more than 2438mm; the tolerance is 0mm-5mm.

[0186] 40 feet can include: the length dimension is 12192mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-10mm; the width dimension is 2438mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-5mm; and the height dimension is 2896mm, 2591mm or not more than 2438mm; the tolerance is 0mm-5mm.

[0187] 45 feet can include: the length dimension is 13716mm, with a tolerance of 0mm-10mm; the width dimension is 2438mm, with a tolerance of 350mm-5mm; and the height dimension is 2591mm or 2896mm; the tolerance is 0mm-5mm.

[0188] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for warehouse bodies 10 of various sizes, sizes within the range of ±1%, ±2%, ±3%, ±4%, and ±5% thereof can be regarded as sizes within the tolerance range.

[0189] The height dimension of the warehouse body 10 is set to be smaller than the height dimension of a standard container. By reducing the size of the warehouse body 10, the total weight of the warehouse body 10 containing components such as the energy unit 2 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the problem of overweight transportation and reducing the transportation cost of the energy storage device 100.

[0190] Exemplarily, the sum of the dimensions of the plurality of warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction is set to be greater than the sum of the dimensions of one or more standard containers along the height direction.

[0191] In other words, on the one hand, the sum of the height dimensions of the multiple silos 10 is set to be greater than the sum of the height dimensions of one or more standard containers. This means that the height dimension of at least one silo 10 is maximized, thereby maximizing the power capacity of the energy storage device 100 while still meeting the transport weight. On the other hand, this helps increase the volume and power capacity of the energy storage device 100, further reducing the cost of using the energy storage device 100.

[0192] Of course, in other embodiments, the sum of the dimensions of the plurality of warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction may be equal to the sum of the dimensions of one or more standard containers along the height direction.

[0193] Exemplarily, the size of at least one of the multiple warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction is different from the sizes of the other warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction. The size of one warehouse body 10 along the height direction may be different from the sizes of the other warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction, or the sizes of multiple warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction may be different from the sizes of the other warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction.

[0194] The size of at least one of the multiple silos 10 along the height direction is different from the sizes of the other silos 10 along the height direction. The sizes of all silos 10 along the height direction may be different, or the sizes of some silos 10 along the height direction may be the same.

[0195] The size of at least one of the multiple silos 10 along the height direction is different from the sizes of the other silos 10 along the height direction. Along the height direction of the silo 10, the size of some of the multiple silos 10 along the height direction is not equal to the size of another part of the silo 10 along the height direction.

[0196] In this way, the flexibility of the capacity of the warehouse body 10 can be improved to meet different needs.

[0197] By setting the dimension of at least one of the multiple bin bodies 10 along the height direction to be different from the dimension of the other bin bodies 10 along the height direction, the other components of the energy storage device 100 except the energy unit 2 can be accommodated in a bin body 10 with relatively larger dimension along the height direction. In this way, the energy units 2 accommodated in different bin bodies 10 can be roughly the same or completely the same, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the energy unit 2 and reducing costs. In addition, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the power of different bin bodies 10, thereby improving the performance of the energy storage device 100.

[0198] Exemplarily, the energy storage device 100 may include three bin bodies 10, which are stacked in the height direction, and the size of the top bin body 10 in the height direction is larger than the size of the other bin bodies 10 in the height direction. The three bin bodies 10 have at least the same size in the height direction for accommodating the areas of the energy units 2. The excess area of ​​the top bin body 10 can be used to accommodate other components of the energy storage device 100 except the energy units 2. In this way, the energy units 2 accommodated in different bin bodies 10 can be made roughly the same or completely the same.

[0199] The energy storage device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can reduce the total weight of the warehouse body 10 and the components within the warehouse body 10 by reducing the size of the warehouse body 10, which is beneficial to improving the problem of overweight transportation, reducing the transportation cost of the energy storage device 100, and thus reducing the cost of using the energy storage device 100. The sum of the dimensions of the multiple warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction is set to be greater than the sum of the dimensions of one or more standard containers along the height direction. That is to say, on the one hand, the sum of the dimensions of the multiple warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction is set to be greater than the sum of the dimensions of one or more standard containers along the height direction, which means that the dimension of at least one warehouse body 10 along the height direction is made as large as possible. Under the premise of meeting the transportation weight, the power of the energy storage device 100 can be increased as much as possible. On the other hand, it is beneficial to increase the volume and power of the energy storage device 100, further reducing the cost of using the energy storage device 100. On the other hand, by setting the height dimension of at least one of the multiple silos 10 to be different from the height dimension of the other silos 10, it is convenient to improve the flexibility of the capacity of the silo 10 to match different needs. In addition, other components of the energy storage device 100 except the energy unit 2 can be accommodated in a silo 10 with a relatively larger dimension in the height direction. In this way, the energy units 2 accommodated in different silos 10 can be roughly the same or completely the same, which is beneficial to improve the assembly efficiency of the energy unit 2 and reduce costs. In addition, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the power of different silos 10, thereby improving the performance of the energy storage device 100.

[0200] In some embodiments, the standard container is a 20-foot standard container, and the height of the standard container is 2896 mm, 2591 mm, or 2438 mm.

[0201] The sum of the height dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 is less than the height of a 20-foot standard container, 2896 mm, 2591 mm, or 2438 mm; the sum of the height dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 is greater than the height of a 20-foot standard container, 2896 mm, 2591 mm, or 2438 mm.

[0202] In some embodiments, the height dimension of each warehouse body 10 is greater than or equal to one-third of the height dimension of a standard container, and is smaller than the height dimension of one standard container.

[0203] Exemplarily, the energy storage device 100 may include three warehouse bodies 10, which are stacked in the height direction, and the sum of the dimensions of the three warehouse bodies 10 in the height direction is greater than the dimension of a standard container in the height direction.

[0204] Exemplarily, the energy storage device 100 may include two warehouse bodies 10, which are stacked in the height direction, and the sum of the dimensions of the two warehouse bodies 10 in the height direction is greater than the dimension of a standard container in the height direction.

[0205] The size of the warehouse body 10 cannot be infinitely small. When the size of the warehouse body 10 along the height direction is greater than or equal to one-third of the size of a standard container along the height direction, the energy storage device 100 has high manufacturability, high volume energy density, and is more convenient to transport and install.

[0206] In some embodiments, the dimension of each warehouse body 10 along the height direction is greater than or equal to half the dimension of a standard container along the height direction, and is smaller than the dimension of one standard container along the height direction.

[0207] When the height dimension of the silo 10 is greater than or equal to half the height dimension of a standard container, the energy storage device 100 has high manufacturability, high volume energy density, and is more convenient to transport and install. For example, when the energy storage device 100 includes two stacked silos 10, multiple energy units 2 are placed in each silo 10, and the height dimension of each silo 10 is greater than or equal to half the height dimension of a standard container, and is smaller than the height dimension of a standard container. When the two silos 10 are stacked, they are taller than the height of a standard container, but the weight of each silo 10 containing components such as energy units 2 is lower. With this arrangement, each silo 10 containing components such as energy units 2 of the energy storage device 100 can be transported separately, and after being stacked at the place of use, the energy storage device 100 has a higher power capacity.

[0208] In some embodiments, the dimension of each warehouse body 10 along the height direction is greater than or equal to one-third of the dimension of a standard container along the height direction, and is less than one-half of the dimension of a standard container along the height direction.

[0209] For example, multiple energy units 2 may be placed in each warehouse body 10, or multiple energy units 2 may be placed in some warehouse bodies 10, and no energy unit 2 may be placed in other warehouse bodies 10. The control module 30 may be placed in the warehouse body 10 without the energy unit 2. Of course, the control module 30 may also be placed in the warehouse body 10 with multiple energy units 2.

[0210] When the height dimension of the silo 10 is greater than or equal to one-third of the height dimension of a standard container, the energy storage device 100 has high manufacturability, high volumetric energy density, and is more convenient to transport and install. For example, when the energy storage device 100 includes three stacked silos 10, each silo 10 contains multiple energy units 2, and the height dimension of each silo 10 is greater than or equal to one-third of the height dimension of a standard container, and less than one-half of the height dimension of a standard container. When the three silos 10 are stacked, they are taller than the height of a standard container, but the weight of each silo 10 containing components such as energy units 2 is lower. With this arrangement, each silo 10 containing components such as energy units 2 of the energy storage device 100 can be transported separately, and after being stacked at the place of use, the energy storage device 100 has a higher power capacity.

[0211] Of course, in other embodiments, only one warehouse body 10 may meet the above size requirements, and other warehouse bodies 10 may not meet the above requirements. For example, other warehouse bodies 10 may be the size of a standard container.

[0212] In some embodiments, there are m warehouse bodies 10, the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction among the m warehouse bodies 10 is smaller than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction among the m warehouse bodies 10 is greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, m is greater than m1, m is greater than or equal to 2, and m1 is greater than or equal to n.

[0213] Here, by setting the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction to be smaller than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, and m1 is greater than or equal to n, that is, the dimension of each warehouse body 10 along the height direction is smaller than the dimension of a standard container along the height direction.

[0214] The m1+1 bins 10 among the m bins 10 refer to any m1+1 bins 10 among the m bins 10. For example, the energy storage device 100 has three bins 10, namely the first bin 3, the second bin 4, and the third bin 10. If m1+1 equals 2, the two bins 10 can be the first bin 3 and the third bin 10, the first bin 3 and the second bin 4, or the second bin 4 and the third bin 10.

[0215] It can be that m1+1 is less than m, the sum of the height dimensions of m1 of the m warehouse bodies 10 is less than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers, and the sum of the height dimensions of m1+1 of the m warehouse bodies 10 is greater than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers. For example, m is 8, m1+1 is 5, and n is 3; the five warehouse bodies 10 can be any five of the eight warehouse bodies 10.

[0216] Alternatively, m1+1 equals m, where the sum of the height dimensions of m1 of the m warehouse bodies 10 is less than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers, and the sum of the height dimensions of m1+1 of the m warehouse bodies 10 is greater than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers. For example, if m equals 2, the sum of the heights of two warehouse bodies 10 is greater than the height of one standard container.

[0217] It can be understood that m, m1, and n are all positive integers.

[0218] In some embodiments, m1=1, n=1.

[0219] The energy storage device 100 may include more than two storage bodies 10 , for example, the energy storage device 100 may include 3, 5, or 8 storage bodies 10 . Alternatively, the energy storage device 100 may include only two storage bodies 10 .

[0220] By setting the height of at least one silo 10 to be less than the height of a standard container, and the sum of the heights of the two silos 10 when stacked to be greater than the height of a standard container, the reduced size of the silo 10 can reduce the total weight of the silo 10 containing components such as the energy unit 2, thereby improving the problem of overweight during transportation and reducing the transportation cost of the energy storage device 100. Furthermore, setting the sum of the height dimensions of the two silos 10 to be greater than the sum of the height dimensions of a standard container means that the height dimension of at least one silo 10 is made as large as possible, thereby maximizing the power capacity of the energy storage device 100 while still meeting the transportation weight. Furthermore, this also helps to increase the volume and power capacity of the energy storage device 100, further reducing the cost of using the energy storage device 100.

[0221] In some embodiments, m1=2, n=1.

[0222] By setting the height of at least one silo 10 to be less than that of a standard container, and the combined height of the three stacked silos 10 to be greater than that of a standard container, the energy storage device 100 improves manufacturability, achieves a high volumetric energy density, and facilitates transportation and installation by reducing the size of at least one silo 10. Furthermore, by setting the combined height of the three silos 10 to be greater than that of a standard container, the energy storage device 100 can maximize its capacity while maintaining a transportable weight. This also helps increase the volume and capacity of the energy storage device 100, further reducing its operating costs.

[0223] In some embodiments, m1=2, n=2.

[0224] By setting the height of at least one silo 10 to be less than the height of two standard containers, and the sum of the heights of the three silos 10 when stacked to be greater than the sum of the heights of two standard containers, the energy storage device 100, by reducing the size of at least one silo 10, has improved manufacturability, a high volumetric energy density, and is more convenient to transport and install. Furthermore, by setting the sum of the height dimensions of the three silos 10 to be greater than the sum of the height dimensions of a standard container, the energy storage device 100 can maximize its capacity while meeting the transport weight. This also helps increase the volume and capacity of the energy storage device 100, further reducing its operating costs.

[0225] Here, the m warehouse bodies 10 may have the same dimensions along the height direction, or the m warehouse bodies 10 may have different dimensions along the height direction.

[0226] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6 to 13 , the energy storage device 100 further includes a connecting mechanism (not shown), which is configured to connect two adjacent silos 10 along the height direction of the silos 10. The connecting mechanism includes a support member 43, which is disposed between two adjacent silos 10 along the height direction; the sum of the dimensions of m1 silos 10 along the height direction among the m silos 10 and the sum of the dimensions of m1-1 support members 43 along the height direction is less than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, and the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 silos 10 along the height direction among the m silos 10 and the sum of the dimensions of m1 support members 43 along the height direction is greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction.

[0227] Alternatively, if the warehouse bodies 10 assembled for transportation are connected and secured together along the height direction via supports 43, then the dimensions of the m1 warehouse bodies 10 constituting n standard containers also include the height dimensions of the supports 43 between them. In other words, when supports 43 are provided, the height dimensions of some of the m1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction may be the sum of their own height and the height of the supports 43 connected to them. This is because the supports 43 connecting the warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction also contribute to a certain degree of the height dimension of the warehouse bodies 10.

[0228] For example, when m1 warehouse bodies 10 are assembled and fixed for transportation using supports 43, the sum of the height dimensions of the m1 warehouse bodies 10 and the sum of the height dimensions of the m1-1 supports 43 is less than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers. The sum of the height dimensions of the m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 and the sum of the height dimensions of the m1 supports 43 is greater than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers. Optionally, the number of supports 43 between the m1 warehouse bodies 10 can be less than m1-1. In this case, when these warehouse bodies 10 are assembled to the standard container size, the sum of the dimensions of the m1 warehouse bodies 10 and the actual dimensions of the supports 43 are included.

[0229] Connecting the silos 10 via a connecting mechanism makes stacking the silos 10 more stable. When the silos 10 are being transported, the sum of the height dimensions of m1 silos 10 plus the sum of the height dimensions of the support members 43 disposed between two adjacent silos 10 in the m1 silo 10 is less than the sum of the heights of n standard containers. The sum of the height dimensions of m1+1 silos 10 in the m silo 10 plus the sum of the height dimensions of m1 support members 43 is greater than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers. This helps increase the volume and power capacity of the energy storage device 100, further reducing the cost of using the energy storage device 100.

[0230] In the energy storage device 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, when supports 43 are used during transportation, but supports 43 are not required between the warehouse bodies 10 that constitute the energy storage device 100, "the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 in the height direction is less than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers in the height direction, and the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 in the height direction is greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers in the height direction" should be understood to include the height of the used supports 43. In other words, the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 in the height direction is less than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers in the height direction minus the sum of the heights of the used supports 43, and the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 in the height direction is greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers in the height direction minus the sum of the heights of the used supports 43. Such a situation also falls within the scope of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0231] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 13, the dimension of each warehouse body 10 along its length direction is consistent with the dimension of the length direction of a standard container, and the dimension of each warehouse body 10 along its width direction is consistent with the dimension of the width direction of a standard container.

[0232] In this embodiment, by setting the dimensions of the warehouse body 10 along its length direction to be consistent with the dimensions of the length direction of a standard container, and setting the dimensions of the warehouse body 10 along its width direction to be consistent with the dimensions of the width direction of a standard container, it is convenient to match the transportation tools and slings of existing standard containers, thereby reducing the transportation cost of the energy storage device 100 and thus reducing the use cost of the energy storage device 100.

[0233] By setting the height of the silo 10 to be smaller than that of a standard container, the silo 10 does not exceed the height of a standard container for sea or land transport during transportation, thereby improving the convenience of transporting the silo 10 and reducing transportation costs. The length and width of the silo 10 are both consistent with those of a standard container, ensuring that the horizontal area occupied by the silo 10 during transportation is consistent with that of a standard container. This facilitates compatibility with existing standard container transport vehicles and spreaders, reduces the transportation cost of the energy storage device 100, and thus reduces the cost of using the energy storage device 100.

[0234] At the same time, the sum of the height dimensions of m1 of the m silos 10 is less than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers, and the sum of the height dimensions of m1+1 of the m silos 10 is greater than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers. This helps increase the volume and power capacity of the energy storage device 100, further reducing the cost of using the energy storage device 100. By reducing the size of the silo 10, the total weight of the silo 10 containing components such as the energy unit 2 can be reduced, which helps alleviate the problem of overweight transportation and reduces the transportation cost of the energy storage device 100. On the other hand, the sum of the height dimensions of m1+1 of the m silo 10 is greater than the sum of the height dimensions of n standard containers. This means that by making the height dimension of at least one silo 10 as large as possible, the power capacity of the energy storage device 100 can be increased as much as possible while meeting the transportation weight. In addition, it also helps increase the volume and power capacity of the energy storage device 100, further reducing the cost of using the energy storage device 100.

[0235] In some embodiments, the energy storage device 100 includes an energy storage bin 100a, which includes a bin body 10 and components disposed in the bin body 10. The weight of the energy storage bin 100a is M, which is less than or equal to 35 tons.

[0236] The components disposed in the warehouse body 10 include, for example, the energy unit 2 , connecting pipelines, the control module 30 or the thermal management module 20 .

[0237] Here, the energy storage bin 100a refers to a cabinet that can be transported and hoisted independently.

[0238] Exemplarily, the weight of the energy storage bin 100a may be any one of 10 tons, 15 tons, 20 tons, 25 tons, 30 tons, 35 tons, or any value between any two of them.

[0239] During the process of hoisting the energy storage bin 100a, it is convenient to hoist the relevant hoisting devices and to transport the energy storage bin 100a.

[0240] In order to ensure that a single energy storage bin 100a meets the transportation limit requirements of some countries, the overall weight of the energy storage bin 100a is controlled within 35 tons, and the integration of the energy storage bin 100a is as high as possible to reduce the workload of on-site installation; at the same time, the energy per unit area is increased to reduce the customer's cost investment.

[0241] In this embodiment, by setting the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction to be smaller than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, setting the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction to be larger than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, and controlling the weight of the energy storage warehouse 100a within 35 tons, the energy storage warehouse 100a can be normally transported and hoisted in multiple transportation scenarios such as land transportation and sea transportation. To a certain extent, it can avoid the problem of transportation exceeding the load limit of roads, bridges, hoists, etc. due to the overweight of the energy storage warehouse 100a, which in turn leads to the need to disassemble and transport the energy storage warehouse 100a or require special equipment for transshipment, resulting in increased transportation costs.

[0242] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 , the height dimension of each bin body 10 is h, 850 mm ≤ h < 2896 mm.

[0243] Exemplarily, the height dimension of the warehouse body 10 can be any one of 850mm, 900mm, 950mm, 1000mm, 1050mm, 1100mm, 1150mm, 1200mm, 1300mm, 1400mm, 1500mm, 1600mm, 1800mm, 2000mm, 2100mm, 2200mm, 2300mm, 2400mm, 2500mm, 2600mm, 2700mm, 2800mm, 2895mm, or a point value between any two of them, and it is necessary to satisfy that the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction is less than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, and the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 among the m warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction is greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction.

[0244] In this embodiment, by setting the height of the silo 10 to 850 mm ≤ h < 2896 mm, the total weight of the silo 10 and its internal components can be controlled within 35 tons, and the volume and power of the energy storage device 100 can be increased as much as possible, further reducing the use cost of the energy storage device 100.

[0245] In some embodiments, the height dimension of the silo body 10 is h, 1300 mm ≤ h ≤ 2400 mm.

[0246] Exemplarily, the height dimension of the warehouse body 10 can be any one of 1300mm, 1350mm, 1400mm, 1450mm, 1500mm, 1550mm, 1600mm, 1650mm, 1700mm, 1750mm, 1800mm, 1850mm, 1900mm, 1950mm, 2000mm, 2050mm, 2100mm, 2150mm, 2200mm, 2250mm, 2300mm, 2350mm, and 2400mm, or a point value between any two of them, and it is necessary to satisfy that the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction is less than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, and the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 among the m warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction is greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction.

[0247] The energy storage device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure sets the sum of the dimensions of m1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction to be smaller than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, and m1≥n, that is, the dimension of the warehouse body 10 along the height direction is smaller than the dimension of a standard container along the height direction. On the one hand, by reducing the size of the warehouse body 10, the total weight of the warehouse body 10 and its internal components can be made less than the weight of a standard container, so that it can match standard slings, that is, while ensuring that the weight does not exceed the transportation and road limits, it can also match existing standard container transportation tools, which is conducive to improving the problem of overweight transportation, reducing the transportation cost of the energy storage device 100, and thus reducing the use cost of the energy storage device 100; on the other hand, by setting the sum of the dimensions of m1+1 warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction to be greater than the sum of the dimensions of n standard containers along the height direction, it is conducive to increasing the volume and power of the energy storage device 100, and further reducing the use cost of the energy storage device 100.

[0248] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the energy storage device 100 includes a thermal management module 20 , which is used to manage the temperatures of the multiple energy units 2 of the energy storage device 100 .

[0249] In this embodiment, by providing the thermal management module 20 , the thermal management module 20 can manage the temperature of the energy unit 2 and reduce the risk of the temperature of the energy unit 2 being out of control.

[0250] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , there are m warehouse bodies 10 , each of which contains a plurality of energy units 2 , and the thermal management module 20 is used to manage the temperatures of the plurality of energy units 2 in the m warehouse bodies 10 .

[0251] In other words, the energy storage devices 100 share the thermal management module 20 to form a complete system, which is conducive to saving space.

[0252] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , there are m warehouse bodies 10 , each of which contains a plurality of energy units 2 , and the control module 30 is used to electrically control the plurality of energy units 2 of the m warehouse bodies 10 .

[0253] In other words, the energy storage devices 100 share the control module 30 to form a complete system, which is conducive to saving space.

[0254] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the control module 30 is housed in at least one compartment 10 .

[0255] Here, the control module 30 may be accommodated in part of the warehouse body 10 or in all of the warehouse body 10 .

[0256] In the embodiment where some of the warehouse bodies 10 accommodate the control modules 30 , the warehouse bodies 10 without the control modules 30 can electrically control the energy units 2 through the control modules 30 in other warehouse bodies 10 .

[0257] Exemplarily, the energy storage device 100 includes two warehouse bodies 10, namely a first warehouse body 3 and a second warehouse body 4, wherein the first warehouse body 3 accommodates a control module 30, and multiple energy units 2 are arranged in the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4. The control module 30 of the first warehouse body 3 can electrically control the energy units 2 of the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4.

[0258] All the warehouse bodies 10 contain control modules 30. When multiple energy units 2 are set in the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4, the control modules 30 in all the warehouse bodies 10 can work together to electrically control the multiple energy units 2 in the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4; the control module 30 in each warehouse body 10 can also act separately, that is, the control module 30 in the first warehouse body 3 electrically controls the multiple energy units 2 in the first warehouse body 3, and the control module 30 in the second warehouse body 4 electrically controls the multiple energy units 2 in the second warehouse body 4.

[0259] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the thermal management module 20 is housed in at least one compartment 10 .

[0260] The thermal management module 20 may be a liquid cooling unit, an air conditioner, a ground source cooling device or a sea liquid cooling device.

[0261] Here, part of the warehouse body 10 may house the thermal management module 20 , or all of the warehouse body 10 may house the thermal management module 20 .

[0262] In an embodiment where some of the warehouse bodies 10 accommodate the thermal management modules 20 , the warehouse bodies 10 without the thermal management modules 20 can manage the temperature of the energy unit 2 through the thermal management modules 20 in other warehouse bodies 10 .

[0263] Exemplarily, the energy storage device 100 includes two warehouses 10, namely a first warehouse 3 and a second warehouse 4, wherein the first warehouse 3 accommodates a thermal management module 20, and the second warehouse 4 does not have a thermal management module 20, and the thermal management module 20 of the first warehouse 3 can manage the temperature of the energy unit 2 of the first warehouse 3 and the second warehouse 4.

[0264] All the warehouse bodies 10 contain thermal management modules 20. When multiple energy units 2 are set in the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4, the thermal management modules 20 in all the warehouse bodies 10 can work together to control the temperature of the multiple energy units 2 in the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4; the thermal management module 20 in each warehouse body 10 can also act separately, that is, the thermal management module 20 in the first warehouse body 3 controls the temperature of the multiple energy units 2 in the first warehouse body 3, and the thermal management module 20 in the second warehouse body 4 controls the temperature of the multiple energy units 2 in the second warehouse body 4.

[0265] As an example, when the control module 30 and the thermal management module 20 in the first bin body 3 and the second bin body 4 can operate independently, the first bin body 3 and its internal components can be considered as an independent energy storage device 100; the second bin body 4 and its internal components can be considered as an independent energy storage device 100. As an example, when the control module 30 and the thermal management module 20 in the first bin body 3 and the second bin body 4 need to jointly control the energy units 2 in the two bin bodies 10, the first bin body 3 and its internal components, the second bin body 4 and its internal components can be considered to jointly form an energy storage device 100. Of course, at this time, only some of the energy units 2 can be operated. For example, only the energy units 2 in the first bin body 3 are electrically controlled and temperature controlled, so that the energy units 2 in the first bin body 3 input or output electrical energy, and the energy units 2 in the second bin body 4 do not output electrical energy. This can be determined based on actual usage needs.

[0266] Due to the size of the energy unit 2, there is a situation where the energy unit 2 cannot fill the warehouse body 10. By setting the control module 30 and / or the thermal management module 20 in the warehouse body 10, the space in the warehouse body 10 can be fully utilized, further improving the space utilization rate of the warehouse body 10.

[0267] In addition, the control module 30 and / or the thermal management module 20 are installed together with the warehouse body 10, and the pipes and lines of the control module 30 and / or the thermal management module 20 are connected when shipped, which reduces the installation workload of the pipes and lines of the control module 30 and / or the thermal management module 20 on site, and helps to reduce installation costs.

[0268] Of course, in other embodiments, the control module 30 and / or the thermal management module 20 may also be disposed outside the warehouse body 10 .

[0269] Exemplarily, at least part of the control module 30 is disposed outside the warehouse body 10 .

[0270] That is to say, part of the control modules 30 may be arranged outside the warehouse body 10 , and part of the control modules 30 may be arranged inside the warehouse body 10 ; or all of the control modules 30 may be arranged outside the warehouse body 10 .

[0271] Here, by arranging at least part of the control module 30 outside the warehouse body 10, the influence of the control module 30 on the energy unit 2 can be reduced to a certain extent, and the control module 30 does not occupy the space in the warehouse body 10. In addition, it is also convenient to repair and replace the control module 30.

[0272] Here, the control module 30 disposed outside the warehouse body 10 can be connected to at least one warehouse body 10, or the control module 30 disposed outside the warehouse body 10 is separated from the warehouse body 10, and the two are connected through a connecting line or a connecting pipe.

[0273] Exemplarily, at least part of the thermal management module 20 is disposed outside the warehouse body 10 .

[0274] That is to say, part of the thermal management modules 20 may be arranged outside the warehouse body 10 , and part of the thermal management modules 20 may be arranged inside the warehouse body 10 ; or all of the thermal management modules 20 may be arranged outside the warehouse body 10 .

[0275] Here, by disposing at least part of the thermal management module 20 outside the warehouse body 10, the impact of the thermal management module 20 on the energy unit 2 can be reduced to a certain extent, and the thermal management module 20 does not occupy space in the warehouse body 10. In addition, it is also convenient to repair and replace the thermal management module 20.

[0276] Here, the thermal management module 20 disposed outside the warehouse body 10 can be connected to at least one warehouse body 10, or the thermal management module 20 disposed outside the warehouse body 10 can be separated from the warehouse body 10 and connected by a connecting line or connecting pipe.

[0277] Of course, part of the structure of the thermal management module 20 may be disposed outside the warehouse body 10 , and another part of the structure may be disposed inside the warehouse body 10 .

[0278] For example, the thermal management module 20 includes a cooling fan, which is disposed outside the housing 10 . Alternatively, the thermal management module 20 includes a cooling fan and a heat exchanger, which are disposed outside the housing 10 .

[0279] This is beneficial for the cooling fan, the cooling fan and the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the outside world, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0280] In some embodiments, the energy storage device 100 may not include the thermal management module 20 .

[0281] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 14 , the control module 30 includes at least one of a main control module 301 , a power distribution module 302 , a general control module 303 , and a fire control module 304 .

[0282] The energy unit 2 is electrically connected to the main control module 301. The main control module 301 is electrically connected to the master control module 303. The main control module 301, the master control module 303, and the fire control module 304 are all electrically connected to the power distribution module 302.

[0283] The main control module 301 is used to control the input and output of high voltage electric energy of the energy unit 2 in the warehouse body 10. The master control module 303 is used to control the switching action of the main control module 301 in the warehouse body 10.

[0284] The fire control module 304 is used to control the operation of fire protection components when a fire occurs due to temperature imbalance in the warehouse body 10 . The fire protection components may be fire extinguishers, etc. The fire protection components may be arranged in the warehouse body 10 .

[0285] The power distribution module 302 is used to electrically connect the main control module 301, the general control module 303 and the fire control module 304, so as to facilitate the circuit conduction of the main control module 301, the general control module 303 and the fire control module 304 and maintain the normal operation of the main control module 301, the general control module 303 and the fire control module 304.

[0286] Here, in the embodiment where the energy storage device 100 includes a plurality of control modules 30 , the plurality of control modules 30 may be the same or different.

[0287] Exemplarily, each warehouse body 10 is provided with a control module 30, that is, the control module 30 corresponds one-to-one to the warehouse body 10, and one control module 30 controls the input and output of electrical energy of the energy unit 2 in one warehouse body 10. This is conducive to the control module 30 to electrically control the energy unit 2.

[0288] For example, referring to Figures 6 to 13 , some of the warehouse bodies 10 are provided with the control module 30, while other warehouse bodies 10 are not provided with the control module 30. In other words, one control module 30 controls the power input or output of the energy units 2 in multiple warehouse bodies 10. For example, when there are two warehouse bodies 10, one of the warehouse bodies 10 is provided with the control module 30, while the other warehouse body 10 is not provided with the control module 30. The control module 30 controls the power input or output of the energy units 2 in both warehouse bodies 10.

[0289] Of course, a warehouse body 10 may have multiple control modules 30, and a warehouse body 10 may contain multiple energy units 2. Multiple energy units 2 are connected in series to form a battery cluster, and multiple battery clusters are connected in parallel. One control module 30 can control one or more battery clusters accordingly.

[0290] The thermal management module 20 includes a heat exchange unit, which is, for example, a liquid cooling unit. Please refer to Figure 4. The thermal management module 20 can exchange heat with the energy unit 2 through a heat exchange pipeline 40 (for example, a liquid cooling pipeline 90), thereby achieving temperature management of the energy unit 2 and reducing the risk of temperature out of control of the energy unit 2.

[0291] Exemplarily, each warehouse body 10 is provided with a thermal management module 20 , that is, the thermal management module 20 corresponds to the warehouse body 10 one by one, and one thermal management module 20 manages the temperature of the energy unit 2 in one warehouse body 10 .

[0292] For example, referring to Figures 6 to 13 , some of the warehouse bodies 10 are provided with the thermal management module 20, while other warehouse bodies 10 are not provided with the thermal management module 20. In other words, one thermal management module 20 is responsible for managing the temperatures of the energy units 2 in multiple warehouse bodies 10. For example, when there are two warehouse bodies 10, one of the warehouse bodies 10 is provided with the thermal management module 20, while the other warehouse body 10 is not provided with the thermal management module 20. The thermal management module 20 can exchange heat with the energy units 2 in both warehouse bodies 10 via the heat exchange pipeline 40 (e.g., the liquid cooling pipeline 90). In other words, the thermal management module 20 can manage the temperatures of the energy units 2 in both warehouse bodies 10.

[0293] In some embodiments, the plurality of bin bodies 10 include a first bin body 3 and at least one second bin body 4 , the first bin body 3 is located above the second bin body 4 , and the thermal management module 20 is located in the first bin body 3 .

[0294] That is, the first compartment 3 is located at the top of the energy storage device, and the thermal management module 20 is located in the first compartment 3 at the top.

[0295] Exemplarily, the thermal management module 20 is located on the top of the first compartment 3 .

[0296] In this embodiment, by placing the thermal management module 20 in the topmost first bin body 3, there is no obstruction above the thermal management module 20, which facilitates heat dissipation from the thermal management module 20, thereby increasing the service life of the energy storage device 100. This also helps lower the overall center of gravity height of a single bin body 10, which is beneficial for transportation safety. Furthermore, the design of a separate bin from the energy bin 11 helps improve the thermal insulation of the energy bin 11. At the same time, the thermal management module 20 blocks thermal radiation from the top, reducing the impact of thermal radiation on the interior of the energy bin 11.

[0297] In some embodiments, the height dimension of the warehouse body 10 containing the thermal management module 20 is greater than the height dimension of other warehouse bodies 10 along the height direction.

[0298] That is to say, the height of the first storage body 3 is greater than the height of the second storage body 4.

[0299] This helps increase the space within the housing 10 that houses the thermal management module 20, thereby reducing the impact of the thermal management module 20 on the storage volume of the energy unit 2. This means that the housing 10 has sufficient space to accommodate both the energy unit 2 and the thermal management module 20. Furthermore, a thermal management module 20 with higher cooling capacity can be placed, improving thermal management capabilities.

[0300] In some embodiments, the thermal management module 20 includes a fan and a condenser, which are located at the top of the first compartment 3. The top wall and / or side wall of the first compartment 3 are provided with ventilators 14, which are used for ventilation of the thermal management module 20.

[0301] Illustratively, the thermal management module 20 includes a cooling circuit and a refrigerant circuit. The thermal management component 82 forms part of the cooling circuit, and the condenser forms part of the refrigerant circuit. The thermal management module 20 and the energy unit 3 are independent of each other, reducing the risk of interference between the thermal management module 20 and the energy unit 3.

[0302] The coolant can circulate in the coolant circulation loop, and the coolant can circulate through the thermal management component 82 to exchange heat with the energy unit 3 and cool the energy unit 3; the coolant after heat exchange with the energy unit 3 can also circulate through the evaporator and exchange heat with the evaporator, and heat exchange the heat exchanged from the energy unit 3 to the evaporator, so that the coolant is cooled.

[0303] The condenser is a component used to exchange heat with the refrigerant flowing through it.

[0304] The evaporator is located in both the coolant circulation loop and the refrigerant circulation loop. The evaporator is internally provided with a coolant flow channel and a refrigerant flow channel. The coolant flow channel participates in forming the coolant circulation loop, and is used to allow coolant to flow therethrough. The refrigerant flow channel participates in forming the refrigerant circulation loop, and is used to allow refrigerant to flow therethrough. The coolant flow channel and the refrigerant flow channel are not interconnected to prevent the coolant and refrigerant from mixing. In the evaporator, the coolant and refrigerant can exchange heat, and in particular, the heat of the coolant can be exchanged with the refrigerant, so that the evaporator can cool the coolant flowing through it.

[0305] Exemplarily, the fan is used to dissipate heat from the condenser.

[0306] Here, the top wall of the first storage body 3 is provided with a vent 14, which can be an entire opening on the top wall of the storage body 10 to form a vent 14. Alternatively, a portion of the top wall of the storage body 10 can be opened to form a vent 14; for example, an opening can be provided on one side of the top wall of the storage body 10 along the length direction, so that a portion of the top wall of the storage body 10 forms the vent 14.

[0307] As an example, the vents 14 on the top wall of the silo body 10 can be used for exhausting air, and the vents 14 on the side walls of the silo body 10 can be used for taking in air.

[0308] In this embodiment, the vents 14 are located on the top wall and / or side wall of the first housing 3 , which is beneficial to heat dissipation of the thermal management module 20 , so that the thermal management module 20 can have more heat dissipation channels and improve the temperature control effect of the thermal management module 20 .

[0309] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 3 to 13 , at least a portion of the compartment body 10 includes an energy compartment 11 and a control compartment 12. The energy compartment 11 is used to accommodate at least one energy unit 2, and at least a portion of the control module 30 and / or at least a portion of the thermal management module 20 is accommodated in the control compartment 12.

[0310] Here, at least part of the control module 30 and / or at least part of the thermal management module 20 is accommodated in the control compartment 12, which means that at least part of the control module 30 can be accommodated in the control compartment 12, at least part of the thermal management module 20 can be accommodated in the control compartment 12, or at least part of the control module 30 and at least part of the thermal management module 20 can be accommodated in the control compartment 12.

[0311] For example, part of the control module 30 and / or part of the thermal management module 20 may be accommodated in the control compartment 12 inside the warehouse body 10, and another part of the control module 30 and / or another part of the thermal management module 20 may be arranged outside the warehouse body 10; or all of the control modules 30 and / or all of the thermal management modules 20 may be accommodated in the control compartment 12 inside the warehouse body 10.

[0312] For example, in an embodiment where a plurality of warehouse bodies 10 have control warehouses 12 therein, the control modules 30 in all warehouse bodies 10 may act together, or the control module 30 in each warehouse body 10 may act independently.

[0313] For example, in an embodiment where multiple warehouse bodies 10 have thermal management modules 20 inside, the thermal management modules 20 in all warehouse bodies 10 may act together, or the thermal management module 20 in each warehouse body 10 may act independently.

[0314] In this embodiment, by arranging an energy chamber 11 and a control chamber 12 inside at least a portion of the warehouse body 10, and arranging at least a portion of the control module 30 and / or at least a portion of the thermal management module 20 inside the warehouse body 10, the space inside the warehouse body 10 can be fully utilized, thereby further improving the space utilization rate of the warehouse body 10.

[0315] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the chamber body 10 includes a first partition 101 , which is disposed between the energy chamber 11 and the control chamber 12 , and the energy chamber 11 and the control chamber 12 share the first partition 101 .

[0316] Here, the first separator 101 may include a metal plate.

[0317] Here, the first partition 101 is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the warehouse body 10 and is also beneficial to improving the sealing performance and thermal insulation performance of the energy warehouse 11.

[0318] A heat exchange pipeline 40 and a connecting harness 50 are provided on the first partition 101. The connecting harness 50 includes a high-voltage harness 51 and / or a low-voltage harness 52. The thermal management module 20 in the control compartment 12 can exchange heat with the energy unit 2 in the energy compartment 11 through the heat exchange pipeline 40 (for example, a liquid cooling pipeline 90). The control module 30 in the control compartment 12 can electrically control the energy unit 2 in the energy compartment 11 through the connecting harness 50.

[0319] As an example, when the heat exchange pipe 40 and the connecting harness 50 pass through the first partition 101 , the passing position may be sealed.

[0320] Exemplarily, the interior of the first partition 101 is filled with a heat insulating medium.

[0321] Here, the heat insulating medium may be some heat insulating material, such as heat insulating cotton.

[0322] The heat-insulating medium is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the first partition 101 and can also play a flame retardant and heat-insulating role, which is beneficial to reducing the heat loss of the energy bin 11 and the impact of external heat on the energy unit 2 in the energy bin 11.

[0323] Here, in some embodiments, the warehouse body 10 includes multiple control warehouses 12, and the control warehouses 12 may accommodate the control module 30 and the thermal management module 20, or all the control warehouses 12 may accommodate the control module 30, or all the control warehouses 12 may accommodate the thermal management module 20.

[0324] In some embodiments, there are multiple control compartments 12 , and the first partition 101 can also be set between adjacent control compartments 12 , and the adjacent control compartments 12 share the first partition 101 .

[0325] Illustratively, the first separator 101 separates the thermal management module 20 and the control module 30 , reducing the risk of interference between the thermal management module 20 and the control module 30 , thereby improving the reliability of the energy storage device 100 .

[0326] The thermal management module 20 and the control module 30 are separated by a first partition 101. The first partition 101 can separate the thermal management module 20 and the control module 30, which can reduce the interference of the thermal management module 20 on the control module 30, that is, it can reduce the electromagnetic interference of high-voltage lines on low-voltage lines, and can also reduce the impact of external rainfall or sunlight exposure on the control module 30.

[0327] There are many ways to arrange the energy compartment 11 and the control compartment 12.

[0328] In some embodiments, at least part of the control chamber 12 and the energy chamber 11 are arranged along the height direction of the chamber body 10 .

[0329] Here, part of the control compartment 12 and the energy compartment 11 may be arranged along the height direction of the compartment body 10 , or all of the control compartment 12 and the energy compartment 11 may be arranged along the height direction of the compartment body 10 .

[0330] As an example, the control chamber 12 is arranged above the energy chamber 11 , so that the components in the control chamber 12 can block the heat radiation from the top and reduce the impact of the heat radiation on the interior of the energy chamber 11 .

[0331] Exemplarily, at least part of the control compartment 12 and the energy compartment 11 are arranged along the length direction of the compartment body 10 .

[0332] Here, some of the control compartments 12 and the energy compartments 11 may be arranged along the length direction of the compartment body 10 , or all of the control compartments 12 and the energy compartments 11 may be arranged along the length direction of the compartment body 10 .

[0333] Here, by arranging the control chamber 12 at the end of the chamber body 10, the space utilization inside the chamber body 10 is maximized. In addition, the control chamber 12 and the energy chamber 11 can be arranged closer, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the structure.

[0334] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , at least a portion of the control compartment 12 accommodates a thermal management module 20 , and the thermal management module 20 is located on the top of the topmost compartment body 10 .

[0335] In this embodiment, the thermal management module 20 is located at the top of the topmost bin body 10. There is no obstruction above the thermal management module 20, which facilitates heat dissipation from the thermal management module 20, thereby increasing the service life of the energy storage device 100. This also helps lower the overall center of gravity height of a single bin body 10, which is beneficial for transportation safety. Furthermore, the design of a separate bin from the energy bin 11 helps improve the thermal insulation of the energy bin 11. At the same time, the thermal management module 20 blocks thermal radiation from the top, reducing the impact of thermal radiation on the interior of the energy bin 11.

[0336] 6 and 7 , at least a portion of the control compartment 12 contains a control module 30 . The control module 30 and the energy compartment 11 are arranged along the height direction of the compartment body 10 .

[0337] That is to say, the control module 30 can be located above the energy bin 11 , below the energy bin 11 , or in the middle of the two energy bins 11 in the height direction.

[0338] For example, when there are two warehouse bodies 10, the control module 30 is arranged on the top of the lower warehouse body 10, that is, above the energy warehouse 11 of the lower warehouse body 10. The height of the operating part meets the requirements of ergonomics. The maintenance personnel can reach the operating handle of the control part by standing on one side of the warehouse body 10, which is convenient for maintenance and inspection. At the same time, the control warehouse 12 at the top is conducive to shortening the length of the high-voltage wire harness 51 and the low-voltage wire harness 52 connecting with the upper warehouse body 10, thereby reducing costs.

[0339] 8 and 9 , at least a portion of the control compartment 12 contains a control module 30 . The control module 30 and the energy compartment 11 are arranged along the length of the compartment body 10 .

[0340] That is to say, the control module 30 can be located at the left end of the energy bin 11 , or at the right end of the energy bin 11 , or in the middle of the two energy bins 11 along the length direction.

[0341] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 13 , the energy storage device 100 includes a pipeline compartment 13 , which is used to accommodate at least a portion of connecting pipelines between the control module 30 , the thermal management module 20 , and the energy unit 2 .

[0342] Illustratively, the connecting pipelines may be a liquid cooling pipeline 90 , a high-voltage wiring harness 51 , a low-voltage wiring harness 52 , a firefighting pipeline, a water firefighting pipeline, and the like.

[0343] The pipeline bin 13 is at least used to accommodate at least part of the connecting pipelines between the control module 30, the thermal management module 20 and the energy unit 2. That is, the connecting pipes and / or connecting lines between the control module 30, the thermal management module 20 and the energy unit 2 can be partially passed through the pipeline bin 13, or can be completely passed through the pipeline bin 13.

[0344] Of course, the pipeline compartment 13 can also be used to accommodate other components of the energy storage device 100 , such as the fire control module 304 .

[0345] For example, the high-voltage wiring harness 51 and the low-voltage wiring harness 52 connecting the pipeline compartment 13 to the energy compartment 11 and the control compartment 12 are connected by connectors installed on the partition wall; the pipeline connection between the pipeline compartment 13 and the energy compartment 11 is connected through a liquid-cooled adapter; and the wall-penetrating interfaces are all sealed.

[0346] In this embodiment, the energy storage device 100 is provided with a pipeline warehouse 13, which is used to accommodate at least part of the connecting pipelines between the control module 30, the thermal management module 20 and the energy unit 2, which is convenient for wiring and piping, and is conducive to making the layout of the connecting pipelines reasonable and easy to repair and replace.

[0347] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 9. Each warehouse body 10 is provided with a pipeline warehouse 13, that is, one warehouse body 10 is provided with one pipeline warehouse 13. Of course, one warehouse body 10 can also be provided with multiple pipeline warehouses 13. At least part of the connecting pipelines between the control module 30, the thermal management module 20 and the energy unit 2 in one warehouse body 10 can be accommodated in the corresponding pipeline warehouse 13. This is beneficial for wiring and piping, and is conducive to making the layout of the connecting pipelines reasonable, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0348] In some embodiments, part of the warehouse body 10 is provided with a pipeline warehouse 13 , while another part of the warehouse body 10 is not provided with a pipeline warehouse 13 .

[0349] Some of the silos 10 are provided with pipeline compartments 13, while other silos 10 are not provided with pipeline compartments 13. In other words, one pipeline compartment 13 is used to accommodate at least a portion of the connecting pipelines between the control modules 30, thermal management modules 20, and energy units 2 of the multiple silos 10. For example, when there are two silos 10, one of the silos 10 is provided with a pipeline compartment 13, while the other silo 10 is not provided with a pipeline compartment 13. The pipeline compartment 13 is used to accommodate at least a portion of the connecting pipelines between the control modules 30, thermal management modules 20, and energy units 2 of the two silos 10.

[0350] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 10 to 13, at least part of the warehouse body 10 has an energy warehouse 11 and a control warehouse 12 inside, the energy warehouse 11 is used to accommodate at least one energy unit 2, at least part of the control module 30 and / or at least part of the thermal management module 20 is accommodated in the control warehouse 12, the pipeline warehouse 13 is arranged inside the warehouse body 10, and the pipeline warehouse 13 and the energy warehouse 11 are arranged along the length direction of the warehouse body 10.

[0351] That is to say, the pipeline bin 13 can be at the left end of the energy bin 11 , or at the right end of the energy bin 11 , or in the middle of the two energy bins 11 along the length direction.

[0352] Of course, in the embodiment with the control chamber 12 , the pipeline chamber 13 and the energy chamber 11 may be arranged along the length direction of the chamber body 10 or along the height direction of the chamber body 10 .

[0353] In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 16 , the pipeline bin 13 is disposed outside the bin body 10 . For example, a protective cover 60 is provided, and the interior of the protective cover 60 has the pipeline bin 13 , or the protective cover 60 and the bin body 10 define the pipeline bin 13 .

[0354] It should be noted that, in the embodiment where the pipeline bin 13 is arranged outside the bin body 10 , the pipeline bin 13 does not belong to the bin body 10 , and thus, the size of the pipeline bin 13 is not counted in the size of the bin body 10 .

[0355] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6 to 9, at least a portion of the silo body 10 includes a second partition 102, and the second partition 102 is disposed between the energy silo 11 and the pipeline silo 13, and the energy silo 11 and the pipeline silo 13 share the second partition 102.

[0356] Here, the second separator 102 may include a metal plate.

[0357] Here, the second partition 102 is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the warehouse body 10 and is also beneficial to improving the sealing performance and thermal insulation performance of the energy warehouse 11.

[0358] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 9 and 13, at least part of the bin body 10 includes a third partition 103, and the third partition 103 is arranged between the pipeline bin 13 and at least part of the control bin 12, and the pipeline bin 13 and at least part of the control bin 12 share the third partition 103.

[0359] Here, the third spacer 103 may include a metal plate.

[0360] Here, the third partition 103 is beneficial to improving the structural strength of the warehouse body 10 and is also beneficial to improving the sealing performance and thermal insulation performance of the partial control warehouse 12.

[0361] Exemplarily, the control compartment 12 containing the thermal management module 20 may be in communication with the pipeline compartment 13 , so that the energy compartment 11 is connected to the control compartment 12 containing the thermal management module 20 through the pipeline compartment 13 .

[0362] For example, the control compartment 12 accommodating the control module 30 may be isolated from the pipeline compartment 13 .

[0363] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4 , the energy bin 11 , the control bin 12 , and the pipeline bin 13 are provided with first bin doors 104 , and the first bin doors 104 of the energy bin 11 , the control bin 12 , and the pipeline bin 13 are all located on the front side of the bin body 10 .

[0364] In this embodiment, by arranging the first doors 104 of the energy bin 11, the control bin 12 and the pipeline bin 13 on the front side of the bin body 10, they can be inspected and maintained through their respective first doors 104, thereby reducing the land waste of the traditional bin bodies 10, which requires reserving a maintenance passage of more than 3m between each bin body 10. Only normal paint touch-up maintenance passages need to be reserved between the grid bin bodies 10, which improves the user's land investment income and increases the user's energy income per unit area.

[0365] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 17, at least part of the warehouse body 10 has an energy warehouse 11 and a control warehouse 12 inside, the energy warehouse 11 is used to accommodate at least one energy unit 2, at least part of the control module 30 and / or at least part of the thermal management module 20 is accommodated in the control warehouse 12; the warehouse body 10 is provided with a first warehouse door 104 on at least one side along the width direction, and the control warehouse 12 and / or the pipeline warehouse 13 are provided with a second warehouse door 70 on at least one side along the width direction.

[0366] Here, the second compartment door 70 may be an inspection door. By providing the inspection door, it is convenient to inspect the energy storage device 100 through the inspection door.

[0367] The energy compartment 11, the control compartment 12 and the pipeline compartment 13 may all be provided with inspection doors.

[0368] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 17 , a second compartment door 70 is provided on at least one side of the control compartment 12 and / or the pipeline compartment 13 along the width direction.

[0369] That is to say, the warehouse body 10 can be provided with a second warehouse door 70 on at least one side along the width direction, or can be provided with a second warehouse door 70 on both sides along the width direction, so that the warehouse body 10 is provided with a second warehouse door 70 in the area corresponding to at least part of the control warehouse 12 and / or at least part of the pipeline warehouse 13.

[0370] For example, a second compartment door 70 is provided on the right side of the upper compartment body 10, the right side of the control compartment 12, and the right side of the lower compartment body 10. By opening the second compartment door 70, the liquid cooling pipeline 90, the high-voltage wiring harness 51, and the low-voltage wiring harness 52 can be inspected and maintained.

[0371] In this embodiment, it is beneficial to reduce the land waste of traditional warehouse bodies 10 that must reserve maintenance channels of more than 3m between adjacent warehouse bodies 10. Only normal paint repair channels need to be reserved between the grid warehouse bodies 10, which increases the user's land investment returns and increases the user's energy benefits per unit area.

[0372] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 to FIG. 13 and FIG. 19 , the height of the topmost bin body 10 is greater than the heights of the other bin bodies 10 , and the topmost bin body 10 accommodates at least a portion of the thermal management module 20 .

[0373] Here, part of the thermal management modules 20 may be accommodated in the topmost compartment body 10 , or all of the thermal management modules 20 may be accommodated in the topmost compartment body 10 .

[0374] Here, by setting the topmost compartment 10 to accommodate at least part of the thermal management module 20, the thermal management module 20 can be located at the top of the energy storage device 100, and there is no obstruction above the thermal management module 20, which is further beneficial to the heat dissipation of the thermal management module 20.

[0375] By setting the height of the topmost bin body 10 to be greater than the height of other bin bodies 10, it is helpful to increase the space inside the bin body 10 that accommodates the thermal management module 20, thereby reducing the impact of the thermal management module 20 on the accommodation volume of the energy unit 2, and allowing different bin bodies 10 to have roughly the same or completely the same space for accommodating the energy unit 2, which is helpful to improve the versatility of the energy unit 2 part.

[0376] For example, the energy storage device 100 may include three silos 10 , which are stacked in a height direction, and the height of the top silo 10 is greater than the heights of the two silos 10 below it.

[0377] Exemplarily, the energy storage device 100 may include two silos 10 , which are stacked in a height direction, and the height of the upper silo 10 is greater than the heights of the two lower silos 10 .

[0378] In this embodiment, by setting the topmost bin body 10 to accommodate at least part of the thermal management module 20, it is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the thermal management module 20, so that the thermal management module 20 can have more heat dissipation channels, thereby improving the temperature control effect of the thermal management module 20. At the same time, it is beneficial to reduce the overall center of gravity height of the single energy storage bin 100a, which is beneficial to transportation safety. In addition, the thermal management module 20 can block the heat radiation from the top and reduce the impact of heat radiation on the inside of the energy bin 11. In addition, by setting the height of the topmost bin body 10 to be greater than the height of other bin bodies 10, it is beneficial to increase the space inside the bin body 10 that accommodates the thermal management module 20, thereby reducing the impact of the thermal management module 20 on the storage volume of the energy unit 2, that is, the bin body 10 has enough space to accommodate the energy unit 2 and the thermal management module 20. In addition, a thermal management module 20 with higher cooling capacity can be placed to improve the thermal management capability. In addition, different bins 10 can have roughly the same or completely identical space for accommodating the energy unit 2, which is beneficial to improving the versatility of the energy unit 2 part, and is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the energy unit 2 and reducing costs. In addition, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the power of different bins 10, thereby improving the performance of the energy storage device 100.

[0379] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 6 to FIG. 13 and FIG. 19 , the heights of the silo bodies 10 except the topmost silo body 10 are the same.

[0380] Exemplarily, the energy storage device 100 may include three bin bodies 10, which are stacked in the height direction, with the height of the top bin body 10 being greater than the heights of the two bin bodies 10 below, and the heights of the two bin bodies 10 below being the same.

[0381] In this embodiment, by setting the heights of the other silo bodies 10 except the topmost silo body 10 to be the same, that is, the other silo bodies 10 except the topmost silo body 10 can use the same silo body 10, which is beneficial to improving the versatility of the silo body 10 and thus helping to reduce costs.

[0382] Of course, in other embodiments, the energy storage device 100 may include three bin bodies 10, which are stacked in the height direction, and the height of the top bin body 10 is greater than the height of the two bin bodies 10 below, and the heights of the two bin bodies 10 below are different.

[0383] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6 to 13 and Figure 19, a plurality of bin bodies 10 include a first bin body 3 and at least one second bin body 4, the first bin body 3 is located above the second bin body 4, the second bin body 4 includes a main body 15, the first bin body 3 includes a main body 15 and an installation portion 16 arranged above the main body 15, at least part of the thermal management module 20 is accommodated in the installation portion 16, and the main body 15 is used to accommodate at least one energy unit 2.

[0384] Here, a first warehouse body 3 and at least one second warehouse body 4 are stacked in the height direction, and the height of the first warehouse body 3 is greater than the height of the second warehouse body 4 .

[0385] Here, the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4 both have a main body part 15, and the main body part 15 is used to accommodate at least one energy unit 2. This is conducive to improving the versatility of the main body part 15 of the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4, and is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the energy unit 2 and reducing costs. In addition, it is conducive to improving the uniformity of the power of different warehouse bodies 10, thereby helping to improve the performance of the energy storage device 100.

[0386] The first silo 3 also includes a mounting portion 16 disposed above the main body 15. At least a portion of the thermal management module 20 is accommodated in the mounting portion 16. In other words, the first silo 3 has a mounting portion 16, which is used to accommodate at least a portion of the thermal management module 20, compared to the second silo 4. This increases the space within the first silo 3 for accommodating the thermal management module 20, thereby reducing the impact of the thermal management module 20 on the volume of the main body 15. This ensures that the first silo 3 has sufficient space to accommodate the energy unit 2 and the thermal management module 20. Furthermore, it can accommodate a thermal management module 20 with a higher cooling capacity, thereby improving thermal management capabilities. Furthermore, by arranging the mounting portion 16 above the main body 15, heat dissipation from the thermal management module 20 is facilitated, providing the thermal management module 20 with more heat dissipation channels and enhancing the temperature control effectiveness of the thermal management module 20. This also helps lower the overall center of gravity height of the single energy storage silo 100a, which is beneficial for transportation safety. Furthermore, the thermal management module 20 can block thermal radiation from the top, reducing the impact of thermal radiation on the interior of the energy silo 11.

Furthermore, the top location of the control silo 12 helps shorten the length of the high-voltage and low-voltage wiring harnesses 51 and 52 connecting the silo 10 to the upper level, thereby reducing costs. Furthermore, it helps lower the overall center of gravity of a single silo 10, improving transportation safety.

[0441] In this embodiment, the third connector 8 and the fourth connector 9 cooperate to achieve rapid connection between the thermal management component 82 and the thermal management module 20 , thereby facilitating the installation of the thermal management module 20 .

[0442] In some embodiments, the thermal management module 20 is connected to multiple thermal management components 82 through a liquid cooling pipeline 90. The liquid cooling pipeline 90 includes a main pipeline 91 and multiple branch pipelines 92. The multiple branch pipelines 92 are connected to the main pipeline 91 in parallel. The main pipeline 91 is connected to the thermal management module 20, and the multiple branch pipelines 92 are respectively connected to the multiple thermal management components 82; the main pipeline 91 is located above the multiple battery devices 80, or the main pipeline 91 is located below the multiple battery devices 80.

[0443] In the embodiment where the main pipe 91 is located above the multiple battery devices 80 , it is beneficial for the liquid cooling medium to flow from top to bottom through the main pipe 91 to the multiple branch pipes 92 to cool the battery devices 80 .

[0444] In the embodiment where the main pipe 91 is located below the plurality of battery devices 80 , it is advantageous for the liquid cooling medium to flow from bottom to top through the main pipe 91 to the plurality of branch pipes 92 to cool the battery devices 80 .

[0445] Exemplarily, the energy storage device 100 includes two warehouse bodies 10, each of which contains an energy unit 2, and the main line 91 is located above the two warehouse bodies 10, or the main line 91 is located below the two warehouse bodies 10, or one of the main lines 91 is located above one of the warehouse bodies 10, and the other main line 91 is located below the other warehouse body 10.

[0446] Here, by arranging the main line 91 above the plurality of battery devices 80 or below the plurality of battery devices 80 , the liquid cooling line 90 can be shortened, thereby reducing costs and improving cooling efficiency.

[0447] In some embodiments, the energy unit 2 is a battery cell, and the weight of a single energy unit 2 is 5 kg to 60 kg.

[0448] The weight of a single energy unit 2 can be any one of 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg, 25kg, 30kg, 35kg, 40kg, 45kg, 50kg, 55kg, 60kg or any value therebetween. As an example, the mass of a single energy unit 2 is 30kg.

[0449] The weight of the energy unit 2 is appropriate so that an appropriate amount of energy units 2 can be placed in the warehouse 10, and the energy density is moderate while meeting the transportation requirements.

[0450] In some embodiments, the energy storage device 100 includes an energy storage bin 100a, which includes a bin body 10 and components disposed in the bin body 10. The weight of the energy storage bin 100a is M, and the total weight of the energy unit 2 in the bin body 10 is M1, (M1 / M)×100%≥60%.

[0451] Exemplarily, (M1 / M)×100% can be 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 90%, etc.

[0452] In this way, on the one hand, the weight proportion of the energy unit 2 in the unit volume of the warehouse body 10 can be increased, and the power of the energy storage device 100 per unit volume can be increased; on the other hand, during the transportation of the energy storage device 100, more energy units 2 that contribute to energy storage and are difficult to produce and cannot be completed at the destination are transported, while other structures can be completed at a location closer to the destination without having to be transported or with reduced transportation. After the warehouse body 10 is assembled into the energy storage device 100, it is beneficial to reduce the transportation cost of the assembled energy storage device 100.

[0453] In some embodiments, (M1 / M)×100%≧80%.

[0454] Illustratively, (M1 / M)×100% may be 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89% or 90%, etc.

[0455] This further helps reduce the transportation cost of the assembled energy storage device 100 .

[0456] In some embodiments, the energy storage device 100 includes an energy storage bin 100a, which includes a bin body 10 and components arranged in the bin body 10.

The multiple energy units 2 are accommodated in the box body 81. The total weight of the battery device 80 is M2, 70%≤(M2 / M)×100%≤90%.

[0457] (M2 / M)×100% can be any one of 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90% or any point value between any two of them.

[0458] When (M2 / M)×100%≥70%, the weight ratio of the energy unit 2 per unit volume of the storage body 10 can be increased, thereby improving the energy density of the storage body 10. When (M2 / M)×100%≤90%, the structural strength of the storage body 10 can be maintained. Therefore, when 70%≤(M2 / M)×100%≤90%, both the energy density of the energy storage bin 100a and the structural strength of the storage body 10 can be balanced, making the storage body 10 more practical.

[0459] In some embodiments, multiple battery devices 80 can be arranged in rows and columns, with the multiple battery devices 80 in each row arranged along the length direction and the multiple battery devices 80 in each column arranged along the height direction. Each battery device 80 includes a thermal management component 82 and multiple energy units 2. The housing 10 also includes a third connector 8 and multiple fourth connectors 9. The third connector 8 connects to the thermal management module 20 and each of the fourth connectors 9.

[0460] Illustratively, the plurality of battery devices 80 are arranged in 2 layers and 2 columns, 3 layers and 3 columns, 4 layers and 4 columns, 4 layers and 3 columns, etc.

[0461] It should be noted that the plurality of battery devices 80 may also be arranged in multiple rows, such as 2 rows, 3 rows, 4 rows, 5 rows or 6 rows; or in multiple columns, such as 2 columns, 3 columns, 4 columns, 5 columns or 6 columns.

[0462] In some embodiments, the volume of the warehouse body 10 is V, the total volume of the energy units 2 in the warehouse body 10 is V1, and (V1 / V)×100%≥30%.

[0463] The energy unit 2 includes a shell, and the volume of the energy unit 2 is the volume of the shell. For example, the energy unit 2 is a square shell energy unit 2, and the product of the length, width and height of the square shell energy unit 2 is the product of the length, width and height of the shell.

[0464] In an embodiment where the energy unit 2 further includes an electrode terminal, the electrode terminal is disposed in the outer shell and partially protrudes from the outer shell. The electrode terminal is electrically connected to the electrode assembly, and the portion of the electrode terminal protruding from the outer shell is not counted as part of the volume of the energy unit 2 .

[0465] (V1 / V)×100% can be 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65% or 70%, etc.

[0466] On the one hand, the volume ratio of the energy unit 2 in the unit volume of the warehouse body 10 can be increased, and the power of the energy storage device 100 per unit volume can be increased; on the other hand, during the transportation of the energy storage device 100, more energy units 2 that contribute to the energy storage and are difficult to produce and cannot be completed at the destination are transported, while other functional components of the energy storage device 100, such as control components, can be completed at a location closer to the destination without having to be transported or with reduced transportation. After the warehouse body 10 is assembled into the energy storage device 100, this is conducive to reducing the transportation cost of the assembled energy storage device 100.

[0467] In some embodiments, (V1 / V)×100%≧50%.

[0468] (V1 / V)×100% can be 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85% or 90%, etc.

[0469] This is further beneficial to reducing the transportation cost of the assembled energy storage device 100 .

[0470] In some embodiments, the volume of the warehouse body 10 is V, and multiple battery devices 80 are arranged in the warehouse body 10. The battery device 80 includes a box body 81 and multiple energy units 2. The multiple energy units 2 are accommodated in the box body 81. The total volume of the battery device 80 is V2, 50%≤(V2 / V)×100%≤80%.

[0471] The volume of the energy unit 2 is the volume of the box 81. For example, if the box 81 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, the volume of the energy unit 2 is equal to the product of the length, width and height of the box 81.

[0472] (V2 / V)×100% can be any one of the point values ​​of 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 75%, 80% or any point value between any two of them.

[0473] When (V2 / V)×100%≥50%, the volume ratio of the energy unit 2 per unit volume of the silo 10 can be increased, thereby improving the energy density of the energy storage device 100. When (V2 / V)×100%≤80%, the silo 10 can have sufficient structural components to maintain the structural strength of the silo 10. Therefore, when 50%≤(V2 / V)×100%≤80%, both the energy density of the energy storage device 100 and the structural strength of the silo 10 can be achieved, making the silo 10 more practical.

[0474] In some embodiments, referring to FIG6 , the energy storage device 100 includes an energy storage bin 100a, which includes a bin body 10 and components disposed within the bin body 10. The energy of the energy storage bin 100a is E, the dimension of the bin body 10 along the length direction of the bin body 10 is a, the dimension of the bin body 10 along the width direction of the bin body 10 is b, and the energy consumption of the energy storage bin 100a is 250KW / m 2 ≤E / (a×b)≤700KW / m 2 .

[0475] E / (a×b) can be 250KW / m 2 、300KW / m 2 、350KW / m 2 , 400KW / m 2 450KW / m 2 、460KW / m 2 、470KW / m 2 、480KW / m 2 、485KW / m 2 、490KW / m 2 、495KW / m 2 500KW / m 2 、510KW / m 2 、550KW / m 2 、600KW / m 2 、650KW / m 2 , 700KW / m 2 The point value of any one of them or any point value between them.

[0476] The energy E can be obtained from the nameplate of the energy storage device 100 .

[0477] When E / (a×b)≥250KW / m 2 When E / (a×b)≤700KW / m 2 When the power is 250KW / m 2 ≤E / (a×b)≤700KW / m 2 At the same time, the energy density of the energy storage device 100 and the mass setting of the warehouse body 10 are taken into consideration, thereby improving the practicality of the energy storage device 100 and facilitating the transportation of the energy storage device 100.

[0478] In some embodiments, 450KW / m 2 ≤E / (a×b)≤600KW / m 2 .

[0479] E / (a×b) can be 450KW / m 2 、455KW / m 2 、460KW / m 2 、465KW / m 2 、470KW / m 2 、475KW / m 2 、480KW / m 2 、485KW / m 2 、490KW / m 2 、495KW / m 2 500KW / m 2 、505KW / m 2 、510KW / m 2 、515KW / m 2 、520KW / m 2 、530KW / m 2 、540KW / m 2 、550KW / m 2 、600KW / m 2 The point value of any one of them or any point value between them.

[0480] As an example, E / (a×b)=490KW / m 2 The energy density of the energy storage device 100 and the mass setting of the warehouse body 10 can be further improved, making it easier to transport the energy storage device 100 .

[0481] In some embodiments, along the height direction of the bin body 10, two adjacent bin bodies 10 are connected by welding, snapping, locking or by fixing parts.

[0482] The fixing member may be at least one of a bolt and nut, a pin, a screw or a rivet, etc. Of course, the fixing member may also include a fixing plate, etc., to fix and connect two adjacent bin bodies 10 in the height direction.

[0483] Exemplarily, two adjacent bin bodies 10 are connected by an intermediate twist lock.

[0484] Two adjacent bin bodies 10 along the height direction are connected by fixing parts, and the fixing parts can be used to limit the two adjacent bin bodies 10 along the height direction, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of the two adjacent bin bodies 10 moving with each other after stacking is completed, and further beneficial to improve the structural stability of the energy storage device 100.

[0485] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6 to 9 and 15, a plurality of bin bodies 10 include a first bin body 3 and a second bin body 4, the first bin body 3 is located above the second bin body 4, a limiting pin 42 is provided at the bottom of the first bin body 3, and a limiting hole 411 is provided at the top of the second bin body 4, and the limiting pin 42 is engaged with the limiting hole 411.

[0486] The silo 10 includes a first silo 3 and a second silo 4. The same silo 10 is the first silo 3 relative to the silo 10 below, and the second silo 4 relative to the silo 10 above. That is, the same silo 10 can be both the first silo 3 and the second silo 4. In other words, a limit pin 42 can be provided at the bottom of the silo 10, and a limit hole 411 can be provided at the top.

[0487] In this way, the two adjacent bin bodies 10 in the height direction can achieve the purpose of limiting the relative movement of the two adjacent bin bodies 10 by using a simple structure through the cooperation of the limiting pin 42 and the limiting hole 411.

[0488] The limiting hole 411 on the top of the second warehouse body 4 can be an opening for hoisting the warehouse body 10. In this way, during the hoisting stage of the warehouse body 10, the warehouse body 10 is hoisted using the opening. After the hoisting of the warehouse body 10 is completed, the opening on the top of the warehouse body 10 is used to cooperate with the limiting pin 42 at the bottom of the adjacent upper warehouse body 10 to achieve the limitation of the two adjacent warehouse bodies 10. This is conducive to simplifying the structure of the warehouse body 10.

[0489] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6 to 9 and 15, a first limiting member 31 is provided at the bottom of the first bin body 3, and the first limiting member 31 is provided with a limiting groove 311. A second limiting member 41 is provided at the top of the second bin body 4, and the second limiting member 41 is provided with a limiting hole 411. The two ends of the limiting pin 42 are respectively engaged with the limiting groove 311 and the limiting hole 411.

[0490] The second limiting member 41 may be the aforementioned hoisting portion, and the limiting hole 411 may be the aforementioned opening. The limiting hole 411 may also be a hole provided on the first storage body 3 .

[0491] In this embodiment, during the stacking of the bin bodies 10 along the height direction, the limiting pin 42 cooperates with the limiting groove 311 of the upper bin body 10 between the two adjacent bin bodies 10, and cooperates with the limiting hole 411 of the lower bin body 10 between the two adjacent bin bodies 10. In this way, the purpose of limiting the relative movement of the two adjacent bin bodies 10 is achieved through a simple structure.

[0492] This simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces costs.

[0493] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an energy storage device 100, comprising a first warehouse body 3, a second warehouse body 4, a control module 30, a thermal management module 20, and a plurality of energy units 2. The first warehouse body 3 is located above the second warehouse body 4. The second warehouse body 4 includes a main body 15. The first warehouse body 3 includes the main body 15 and a mounting portion 16 disposed above the main body 15. The thermal management module 20 is accommodated in the mounting portion 16. The main body 15 has an energy compartment 11 and a control compartment 12 within it. The energy compartment 11 is used to accommodate at least one energy unit 2, and at least some of the control modules 30 are accommodated in the control compartment 12. The height dimensions of the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4 are both greater than or equal to half the height dimension of a standard container, and are both less than the height dimension of a standard container. The sum of the height dimensions of the first warehouse body 3 and the second warehouse body 4 is greater than the sum of the height dimensions of a standard container. The thermal management module 20 within the first silo 3 can control the temperature of the multiple energy units 2 within the first silo 3 and the multiple energy units 2 within the second silo 4. The control module 30 within the first silo 3 can electrically control the multiple energy units 2 within the first silo 3, and the control module 30 within the second silo 4 can electrically control the multiple energy units 2 within the second silo 4. By splitting the energy storage device 100 into the first silo 3 and the second silo 4, all components of the energy storage device 100 are housed within the first silo 3 and the second silo 4. This reduces the size of the silo 10, and the total weight of the silo 10 containing the energy units 2 and other components can be reduced, which helps alleviate the problem of overweight during transportation and reduces the transportation cost of the energy storage device 100. When the first silo 3 and the second silo 4 are stacked together in the height direction, the sum of the height dimensions of the first silo 3 and the second silo 4 is greater than the height dimension of a standard container. This maximizes the power capacity of the energy storage device 100 while meeting the transportation weight. On the other hand, it is beneficial to increase the volume and power of the energy storage device 100, and further reduce the use cost of the energy storage device 100. By integrating all the components of the energy storage device 100 inside the silo 10, the silo 10 can be connected to the PCS and EMS after being stacked on site, which is beneficial to reducing the workload of on-site assembly, improving assembly efficiency, and facilitating customer use. In addition, by setting the height dimension of at least one of the multiple silos 10 to be different from the height dimension of the other silos 10, it is convenient to improve the flexibility of the capacity of the silo 10 and match different needs. In addition, other components of the energy storage device 100 except the energy unit 2 can be accommodated in a silo 10 with a relatively large height dimension. In this way, the energy units 2 contained in different silos 10 can be roughly the same or completely the same, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the energy unit 2 and reducing costs. In addition, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the power of different silos 10, thereby improving the performance of the energy storage device 100.

[0494] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations of the present disclosure are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
