[0045] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.

[0046] Herein, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” cited in the present disclosure are merely identifications and do not have any other meanings, such as a specific order or the like.

[0047] To thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, detailed structures will be provided in the following description. It should be understood that the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present disclosure may also have other embodiments.

[0048] The present disclosure provides an energy storage cabinet. The energy storage cabinet can be used to accommodate electronic components (not shown). The electronic components can include a battery pack, electronic components, or both. The electronic components can be disposed within an interior region 112 of a frame 110 of the energy storage cabinet. When a fire occurs in the electronic components, the frame 110 can spray a fire extinguishing medium (gaseous or liquid fire extinguishing material, such as carbon dioxide) toward the electronic components in multiple directions to extinguish the fire.

[0049] 1 , the energy storage cabinet includes a frame 110. The frame 110 is a generally rectangular parallelepiped structure and is used to secure electronic components.

[0050] The frame 110 includes a plurality of side beams 120. The side beams 120 may be tubular. The side beams 120 enclose an interior region 112 of the frame 110. The electronic components are disposed within the interior region 112 of the frame 110. The side beams 120 have a first internal passage and a plurality of first through-holes 121. The first through-holes 121 communicate with the first internal passages and face the interior region 112 of the frame 110.

[0051] In some embodiments, the side beam 120 includes a column beam 130 and an end beam 140. There are four column beams 130. The column beams 130 are located at the connection between any two sides of the rectangular parallelepiped structure formed by the frame 110. Along the length direction of the column beam 130, the end beam 140 is located at the end of the column beam 130. The length direction of the end beam 140 is perpendicular to the length direction of the column beam 130. The end of the end beam 140 is connected to the end of the column beam 130. The first internal channel of the column beam 130 is connected to the first internal channel of the end beam 140. The column beam 130 and the end beam 140 are both provided with a first through hole 121. In this way, the end beam 140 and the column beam 130 form a roughly rectangular parallelepiped structure. As a result, the strength of the frame 110 is great.

[0052] Continuing with reference to FIG1 , the frame 110 further includes a plurality of reinforcing beams 150. The reinforcing beam 150 has a second internal passage and a second through hole 155. There are a plurality of second through holes 155. The second through hole 155 is connected to the second internal passage. The length direction of the reinforcing beam 150 is inclined relative to the length direction of at least one side beam 120. For example, the length direction of the reinforcing beam 150 is inclined relative to the length direction of the end beam 140. In other words, the length direction of the reinforcing beam 150 is arranged at an angle to the length direction of the end beam 140. The length direction of the reinforcing beam 150 is perpendicular to the length direction of the column beam 130. In this way, the structure of the frame 110 is simple.

[0053] The first end of the reinforcing beam 150 is connected to the side beam. In some embodiments, the first end of the reinforcing beam 150 is connected to one end of the column beam 130. The first end of the reinforcing beam 150 is also connected to one end of the end beam 140. In other words, the first end of the reinforcing beam 150 is connected to a corner of the frame 110. The corner of the frame 110 is the junction of any three faces of the rectangular parallelepiped structure formed by the frame 110. In this case, the second internal channel of the reinforcing beam 150 connects the first internal channel of the end beam 140 and the first internal channel of the column beam 130. The second through hole 155 faces the inner area 112. The axial direction of the second through hole 155 is perpendicular to or at an angle to the axial direction of the first through hole 121 of the column beam 130. Thus, the reinforcing beam 150 can increase the strength of the frame 110. In addition, the fire extinguishing medium can be sprayed onto the electronic components through the second through hole 155 of the reinforcing beam 150, which can further improve the efficiency of fire extinguishing.

[0054] At least one of the side beams 120 and the reinforcement beams 150 has a connection hole 111. Connection hole 111 is located at the junction of any two of the side beams 120 and reinforcement beams 150. In some embodiments, connection hole 111 is located at the junction of different beams (e.g., the junction of different reinforcement beams 150, the junction of reinforcement beam 150 and side beam 120, or the junction of different side beams 120). Connection hole 111 is used to connect to external pipe 170. In this way, fire extinguishing medium can be introduced into the first internal channel of the side beam 120 and the second internal channel of the reinforcement beam 150 through external pipe 170.

[0055] In this embodiment, the reinforcing beam 150 has a second internal channel and a plurality of second through holes 155, and the side beam 120 has a first internal channel and a plurality of first through holes 121. Thus, the fire extinguishing medium can be sprayed onto the electronic components arranged in the internal area 112 of the frame 110 through the side beam 120 and the reinforcing beam 150 at the same time, so that the fire can be extinguished quickly. In addition, the provision of the reinforcing beam 150 can further increase the strength of the frame 110.

[0056] In some embodiments, the reinforcement beam 150 includes a first end reinforcement beam 151 and a second end reinforcement beam 152. Along the length of the column beam 130, the first end reinforcement beam 151 is connected to one end of the column beam 130, and the second end reinforcement beam 152 is connected to the other end of the column beam 130. Thus, the fire extinguishing medium can be sprayed onto the electronic components simultaneously through the first end reinforcement beam 151 and the second end reinforcement beam 152, further improving the efficiency of fire extinguishing.

[0057] Each of the first and second end reinforcement beams 151, 152 includes a first reinforcement beam 153 and a second reinforcement beam 154. The length of the first reinforcement beam 153 forms an angle with the length of the second reinforcement beam 154. The first end of the first reinforcement beam 153 is connected to one corner of the frame 110. The first end of the second reinforcement beam 154 is connected to the other corner of the frame 110. The first reinforcement beam 153 is connected to the second reinforcement beam 154. The second internal passage of the first reinforcement beam 153 communicates with the second internal passage of the second reinforcement beam 154. This further increases the strength of the frame 110.

[0058] In some embodiments, the first end reinforcement beam 151 and the second end reinforcement beam 152 each include two first reinforcement beams 153 and two second reinforcement beams 154. The side beam 120 includes four column beams 130. For each of the first end reinforcement beam 151 and the second end reinforcement beam 152, the two first reinforcement beams 153 are coaxially arranged. The first ends of the two first reinforcement beams 153 are respectively connected to one end of the two column beams 130. The two second reinforcement beams 154 are coaxially arranged. The first ends of the two second reinforcement beams 154 are respectively connected to one end of the other two column beams 130. The second ends of the two second reinforcement beams 154 are connected to the second ends of the two first reinforcement beams 153, thereby further increasing the strength of the frame 110.

[0059] 1 , the connection hole 111 is located at the connection between the first reinforcement beam 153 and the second reinforcement beam 154. Thus, the fire extinguishing medium introduced into the reinforcement beam 150 through the external pipe 170 can flow through the first reinforcement beam 153 and the second reinforcement beam 154 toward different column beams 130, thereby extinguishing the fire more quickly.

[0060] End beams 140 include a first end beam 141 and a second end beam 142. Along the length of column beam 130, first end beam 141 is connected to one end of column beam 130, while second end beam 142 is connected to the other end of column beam 130. This enhances the strength of frame 110. Furthermore, fire extinguishing media can be simultaneously sprayed onto electronic components via first and second end beams 141, 142.

[0061] Both first end beam 141 and second end beam 142 include a first end beam 143 and a second end beam 144. For either first end beam 141 or second end beam 142, the length of first end beam 143 is perpendicular to the length of second end beam 144. First end beam 143 and second end beam 144 are connected at a corner, so that the first internal passage of first end beam 143 communicates with the first internal passage of second end beam 144. This allows fire extinguishing medium to be sprayed onto electronic components simultaneously through first end beam 143 and second end beam 144.

[0062] As shown in FIG1 , in some embodiments, the first end reinforcement beam 151 is provided with a connection hole 111 . This simplifies the structure of the frame 110 . The inner diameter of the first end reinforcement beam 151 is larger than the inner diameter of the side beam 120 . This allows for more effective fire suppression.

[0063] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the column beam 130 is larger than the inner diameter of the second end reinforcement beam 152. Thus, fire can be extinguished more effectively.

[0064] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the column beam 130 is larger than the inner diameter of the end beam 140. This allows for more effective fire extinguishing.

[0065] In some embodiments, the inner diameters of the end beams 140 at both ends of the column beam 130 differ along its length. The end beam 140 with the larger inner diameter and the reinforcing beam 150 with the connection hole 111 are located at the same end of the column beam 130. In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the second end beam 142 is larger than that of the first end beam 141. This allows for more effective fire suppression.

[0066] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the second reinforcement beam 154 is larger than the inner diameter of the first end beam 141. Thus, fire can be extinguished more effectively.

[0067] As shown in FIG1 , the energy storage cabinet further includes a connector 160 . The connector 160 is connected to the edge of the reinforcing beam 150 that forms the connection hole 111 . The external pipe 170 is connected to the reinforcing beam 150 via the connector 160 . This facilitates the installation of the external pipe 170 .

[0068] In some embodiments, the energy storage cabinet further includes a sealing plate (not shown) which is connected to the frame 110 to form a cabinet structure.

[0069] The present disclosure also provides an energy storage system. The energy storage system includes a plurality of batteries and the aforementioned energy storage cabinet. The batteries are disposed within an interior region 112 of a frame 110 .

[0070] In this embodiment, the energy storage system includes the aforementioned energy storage cabinet, the reinforcing beam 150 has a second internal channel and multiple second through holes 155, and the side beam 120 has a first internal channel and multiple first through holes 121. Thus, the fire extinguishing medium can be sprayed onto the electronic components arranged in the internal area 112 of the frame 110 through the side beam 120 and the reinforcing beam 150 at the same time, so that the fire can be quickly extinguished; in addition, the provision of the reinforcing beam 150 can further increase the strength of the frame 110.
