AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In traditional liquid-cooled energy storage cabinets, the refrigerant first cools the ethylene glycol aqueous solution through a plate heat exchanger. Then, the low-temperature ethylene glycol aqueous solution flows through the liquid-cooled battery pack to carry away the heat. There are many intermediate heat exchange links, resulting in low cooling efficiency and high energy consumption. In addition, the main control box and other structures with electrical components generate a lot of heat and cannot dissipate it quickly, leading to low operating efficiency of electronic devices and the risk of over-temperature current limiting.

Method used

The direct-cooling and direct-heating energy storage cabinet allows the refrigerant to flow directly through the liquid cooling plate for heat exchange, reducing intermediate heat exchange steps and increasing cooling efficiency. It also forms a circulation path through the compressor, reversing valve, and heat exchanger to simultaneously dissipate heat from the battery pack and electrical components. Fans and heating components are used to assist in heat dissipation, and a detachable shut-off valve assembly is designed to prevent leakage.

Benefits of technology

It improves cooling efficiency, reduces energy consumption, reduces safety hazards, ensures battery temperature is within a suitable range, improves the operating efficiency and safety of electronic devices, and reduces the risk of over-temperature current limiting.

[0061] The direct-cooling and direct-heating energy storage cabinet according to some embodiments of this application is described below with reference to Figures 1 to 7.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, an embodiment of this application provides a direct cooling and direct heating energy storage cabinet, including: a battery pack 1, a battery auxiliary module, and a heat exchange unit 2; wherein, the battery pack 1 includes a first liquid cooling plate, the battery auxiliary module includes a second liquid cooling plate, and the heat exchange unit 2 includes a compressor 201, a reversing valve 202, and a heat exchanger 203;

[0064] During refrigeration, the compressor 201, reversing valve 202, heat exchanger 203, first liquid cooling plate, reversing valve 202, and compressor 201 are sequentially connected to form the first refrigeration cycle path.

[0065] The compressor 201, reversing valve 202, heat exchanger 203, second liquid cooling plate, reversing valve 202 and compressor 201 are connected in sequence to form a second cycle refrigeration path;

[0066] When heating, the compressor 201, reversing valve 202, first liquid cooling plate, heat exchanger 203, reversing valve 202 and compressor 201 are connected in sequence to form a first circulating heating path, and the reversing valve 202 is disconnected from the second liquid cooling plate.

[0067] Based on the structure described above, the working process of the direct-cooling and direct-heating energy storage cabinet provided in this application is as follows:

[0068] As shown in FIG. 2, when refrigerating, the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 201, then flows through the reversing valve 202 and the heat exchanger 203 in turn, and then flows into the first liquid cooling plate and the second liquid cooling plate, respectively. After the refrigerant completes heat exchange, it flows out of the first liquid cooling plate and the second liquid cooling plate, then flows through the reversing valve 202 in turn, and finally flows back into the compressor 201.

[0069] As shown in FIG. 3, when heating, the refrigerant flows out of the compressor 201, then flows into the first liquid cooling plate through the reversing valve 202 without flowing through the second liquid cooling plate, and then flows out of the first liquid cooling plate after completing heat exchange. Then, the refrigerant flows through the heat exchanger 203 and the reversing valve 202 in turn, and finally flows back into the compressor 201.

[0070] As can be seen, the direct cooling and heating type energy storage cabinet provided by the present application can simultaneously cool the battery pack 1 and the battery auxiliary module such as the main control box 20 and the electric energy conversion box 21, that is, compared with the scheme in which the refrigerant first cools the ethylene glycol aqueous solution through the plate heat exchanger 203, and then the low-temperature ethylene glycol aqueous solution flows through the liquid-cooled battery pack 1 to take away heat in the conventional liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet, the refrigerant directly flows through the liquid cooling plate to exchange heat in the present scheme, that is, to cool the battery pack 1, thereby reducing the steps of refrigerant and cooling liquid heat exchange, and greatly improving the refrigeration efficiency and saving energy. Moreover, compared with the conventional liquid-cooled energy storage cabinet, when leakage occurs, the ethylene glycol aqueous solution for heat exchange may cause insulation failure of the conductive system, and even cause short circuit, leading to thermal runaway. In the present scheme, when the refrigerant leaks, the refrigerant can quickly evaporate, and generally does not cause the safety hazards of short circuit or thermal runaway.

[0071] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the direct cooling and heating type energy storage cabinet further comprises a first heat exchange pipe assembly 4 and a second heat exchange pipe assembly 8. The first liquid cooling plate is connected in communication with the heat exchanger 203 through the first heat exchange pipe assembly 4. The first liquid cooling plate is connected in communication with the reversing valve 202 through the second heat exchange pipe assembly 8.

[0072] According to the above-described structure, especially when the number of battery packs 1 is multiple, by designing the reasonable arrangement of the first heat exchange pipe assembly 4 and the second heat exchange pipe assembly 8, the connection of multiple battery packs 1 with the heat exchange unit 2 can be realized, and the synchronous heat exchange such as cooling or heating of multiple battery packs 1 can be realized.

[0073] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the direct cooling and heating type energy storage cabinet further comprises a third heat exchange pipe assembly 11 and a fourth heat exchange pipe assembly 15. The second liquid cooling plate is connected in communication with the heat exchanger 203 through the third heat exchange pipe assembly 11. The second liquid cooling plate is connected in communication with the reversing valve 202 through the fourth heat exchange pipe assembly 15.

[0074] According to the above-described structure, especially when the number of battery auxiliary modules is multiple, by designing the reasonable arrangement of the third heat exchange pipe assembly 11 and the fourth heat exchange pipe assembly 15, the connection of multiple battery auxiliary modules with the heat exchange unit 2 is realized synchronously, and the synchronous heat exchange such as cooling or heating of multiple battery packs 1 can be realized.

[0075] In this embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the direct cooling and direct heating type energy storage cabinet further comprises a first three-way joint 3, and the first heat exchange pipe assembly 4 and the third heat exchange pipe assembly 11 are communicated with the heat exchanger 203 via the first three-way joint 3.

[0076] According to the above-described structure, the first heat exchange pipe assembly 4 and the third heat exchange pipe assembly 11 can be simultaneously communicated with the heat exchanger 203 by using the first three-way joint 3.

[0077] In this embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the direct cooling and direct heating type energy storage cabinet further comprises a second three-way joint 18, and the second heat exchange pipe assembly 8 and the fourth heat exchange pipe assembly 15 are communicated with the reversing valve 202 via the second three-way joint 18.

[0078] According to the above-described structure, the second heat exchange pipe assembly 8 and the fourth heat exchange pipe assembly 15 can be simultaneously communicated with the reversing valve 202 by using the second three-way joint 18.

[0079] In this embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIGS. 1-6, the first heat exchange pipe assembly 4 comprises a first main pipe 41, a first merging pipe 42 and a first branch pipe 43; the first branch pipe 43 is communicated with the first main pipe 41 via the first merging pipe 42, and the first main pipe 41 is further communicated with the heat exchanger 203 via the first three-way joint 3; the first branch pipe 43 corresponds to and is communicated with the first liquid cooling plate one by one.

[0080] Further, optionally, as shown in FIGS. 1-6, the second heat exchange pipe assembly 8 comprises a second main pipe 81, a second merging pipe 82 and a second branch pipe 83 communicated with the second main pipe 81; the second branch pipe 83 is communicated with the second main pipe 81 via the second merging pipe 82, and the second main pipe 81 is further communicated with the reversing valve 202 via the second three-way joint 18; the second branch pipe 83 corresponds to and is communicated with the first liquid cooling plate one by one.

[0081] According to the structure described above, by designing the first branch pipe 43 and the second branch pipe 83 and connecting them with the inlet end and the outlet end of the first liquid cooling plate respectively, it can be ensured that the refrigerant can flow into the liquid cooling plate of each battery pack 1 for synchronous heat exchange, and the first merging pipe 42 and the second merging pipe 82 respectively serve as the role of connecting each first branch pipe 43 and each second branch pipe 83, that is, the role of merging, which helps to save the pipe, reduce the occupied space, and improve the energy density; the first main pipe 41 and the second main pipe 81 respectively serve as the role of connecting the heat exchanger 203 and the reversing valve 202.

[0082] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-3 and 6, the first main pipe 41 is provided with a first stop valve assembly 5.

[0083] Any first branch pipe 43 is provided with a second stop valve assembly 6.

[0084] According to the structure described above, when the heat exchange system fails, the first stop valve assembly 5 and the second stop valve assembly 6 can be used to cut off the battery pack 1 and the first heat exchange pipe assembly 4 from the heat exchange system, stop the refrigerant, so that the refrigerant does not leak, and facilitate the repair of the fault point.

[0085] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-3 and 6, the first stop valve assembly 5 and the second stop valve assembly 6 each include two first stop valves. Here, in order to distinguish the different first stop valves described above, the following naming is used: the two stop valves included in the first stop valve assembly 5 are No. 1 first stop valve 51 and No. 2 first stop valve 52, and the two stop valves included in the second stop valve assembly 6 are No. 3 first stop valve 61 and No. 4 first stop valve 62, wherein the No. 1 first stop valve 51 and the No. 2 first stop valve 52 are detachably connected, and the No. 3 first stop valve 61 and the No. 4 first stop valve 62 are detachably connected.

[0086] According to the structure described above, the two first stop valves in the first stop valve assembly 5 and the second stop valve assembly 6 are designed to be detachable, which facilitates the disconnection between the two first stop valves, that is, the pipes connected by the two first stop valves are independent of each other, and the two first stop valves can stop the end of the respective pipes, which can effectively prevent liquid leakage and facilitate maintenance or replacement operations.

[0087] It should be noted that two stop valves are often used in pairs and in butt joint. The two stop valves can be independently controlled to open and close the pipe, so the assembly structure of the two stop valves is not described in detail here.

[0088] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-3 and 6, any second sub-pipe 83 is optionally provided with a third stop valve assembly 9.

[0089] The second main pipe 81 is provided with a fourth stop valve assembly 10.

[0090] According to the above-described structure, when the heat exchange system has a problem, the third stop valve assembly 9 and the fourth stop valve assembly 10 can be used to cut off the battery pack 1 and the second heat exchange pipe assembly 8 from the heat exchange system, thereby stopping the leakage of refrigerant and facilitating the repair of the fault point.

[0091] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1-3 and 6, the third stop valve assembly 9 and the fourth stop valve assembly 10 each include two second stop valves. Here, in order to distinguish the different second stop valves described above, the two stop valves included in the third stop valve assembly 9 are designated as a No. 1 second stop valve 91 and a No. 2 second stop valve 92, and the two stop valves included in the fourth stop valve assembly 10 are designated as a No. 3 second stop valve 101 and a No. 4 second stop valve 102. The No. 1 second stop valve 91 and the No. 2 second stop valve 92 are detachably connected, and the No. 3 second stop valve 101 and the No. 4 second stop valve 102 are detachably connected.

[0092] According to the above-described structure, the two third stop valves in the third stop valve assembly 9 and the fourth stop valve assembly 10 are designed to be detachable, that is, the pipes connected to the two third stop valves are independent of each other, and the two third stop valves can stop the end of the respective pipes, which can effectively prevent leakage and facilitate maintenance or replacement operations.
