[0015] In the second direction, the pitch size of the plurality of the connecting portions on the second edge portion gradually increases, and / or the pitch size of the plurality of the connecting portions on the fourth edge portion gradually increases.

[0016] In some embodiments, the pitch size of the plurality of the connecting portions on the first edge portion is greater than the pitch size of the plurality of the connecting portions on the second edge portion, and / or the pitch size of the plurality of the connecting portions on the first edge portion is greater than the pitch size of the plurality of the connecting portions on the fourth edge portion.

[0017] In some embodiments, the energy storage box further comprises a lock catch assembly, and the lock catch assembly comprises:

[0018] A first clamping member connected to the third edge portion;

[0019] A second clamping member connected to the cover plate body and in clamping connection with the first clamping member.

[0020] In some embodiments, the third edge portion has a relief groove.

[0021] The first clamping member is arranged on a side of the third edge portion away from the cover plate body, and the first clamping member comprises:

[0022] A body connected to the third edge portion;

[0023] A clamping portion connected to the body and arranged in correspondence with the relief groove;

[0024] The second clamping member is connected to a side of the cover plate body facing the third edge portion and penetrates the relief groove, and the second clamping member is in clamping connection with the clamping portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the application, rather than all the embodiments of the application. Based on the embodiments in the application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the application.

[0050] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more, at least one of which can be one, two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0051] It should also be noted that in the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the arrow marked X represents the first direction of the energy storage box, the arrow marked Y represents the second direction of the energy storage box, and the arrow marked Z represents the third direction of the energy storage box. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are introduced to more clearly represent the structure and relative positional relationship of the components in the energy storage box. In actual application, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z can change according to the different placement modes of the energy storage box. The axis refers to the center line or rotational axis of a component, device or workpiece.

[0052] As a prologue of the present application, when the lithium battery used in the electrochemical energy storage system occurs in an extreme situation such as thermal runaway, the internal gas generation rate increases, and most of the generated gas is flammable and explosive. Accumulation of too much gas can cause the energy storage box to explode and other dangerous situations.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1, 2 and 3 together, the energy storage box of the embodiments of the present application includes a box body 1, a cover plate assembly 2 and a plurality of connecting parts 3. The box body 1 has a receiving cavity 11 and a box opening 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 can be used to store batteries, and the batteries are protected in the box body 1. The box opening 12 is used to put the batteries into the receiving cavity 11 or take the batteries out of the receiving cavity 11.

[0054] The cover plate assembly 2 includes a cover plate body 21, which covers the box opening 12 to cover the box opening 12, so that the receiving cavity 11 forms a relatively closed environment to protect the batteries inside.

[0055] The plurality of connecting parts 3 are distributed at intervals around the box opening 12. The cover plate body 21 is connected to the box body 1 through the plurality of connecting parts 3, that is, the plurality of connecting parts 3 are arranged around the box opening 12 once to fix the cover plate body 21 and the box body 1. There is a spacing size L between adjacent two connecting parts 3. The energy storage box has a plurality of spacing sizes L, at least one spacing size L is different in size from at least another spacing size L. That is, at least two spacing sizes L are different in size.

[0056] Please refer to Fig. 2, the connecting part 3 has an axis, which is marked as M in the figure, the interval size L is the distance between the axes M of two adjacent connecting parts 3, and the measuring tool can be selected from a vernier caliper, a digital caliper, a ruler, etc. Taking the vernier caliper as an example, when measuring the interval size L, the two measuring jaws of the vernier caliper are respectively aligned with the center points of the two connecting parts 3, the caliper is kept parallel to the two connecting parts 3, the scale line on the vernier caliper is observed, and the size value corresponding to the position of the measuring jaw is read, which is the interval size, denoted by L in the figure. The center point of the connecting part 3 is the midpoint of the end face of the connecting part 3 in the direction of the axis M. For example, if the end of the connecting part 3 is circular, the center point is the center of the circle. For example, if the end of the connecting part 3 is a regular polygon, the center point is the center of the circumscribed circle or the inscribed circle of the regular polygon. If the connecting part 3 is a regular polygon, the center point is the intersection of any two diagonal lines (from one vertex to another non-adjacent vertex) of the regular hexagon.

[0057] The energy storage tank has at least one position as a weak part where the cover plate body 21 is connected to the tank body 1, at which position, the interval size L of the two connecting parts 3 is larger than the interval size L between the connecting parts 3 adjacent thereto or away therefrom. The large interval size L means that the distribution density of the connecting parts 3 of the cover plate body 21 and the tank body 1 at this position is relatively small, so that the connection strength of the cover plate body 21 and the tank body 1 at this position is reduced compared to the positions where the distribution density of the connecting parts 3 is large.

[0058] On the one hand, when the internal pressure of the tank body 1 continuously increases, the part of the cover plate body 21 corresponding to the weak part will relatively easily deform and arch upward, or the part of the cover plate body 21 corresponding to the weak part will be broken by the pressure, or the part of the cover plate body 21 corresponding to the weak part will deform and pull the connecting part 3 to break, forming a gap between the cover plate body 21 and the tank body 1, so that the gas in the tank body 1 is discharged from the gap to relieve the pressure, so as to prevent the gas from continuously accumulating and exploding, and reduce the possibility of safety hazards.

[0059] On the other hand, when the internal pressure of the tank body 1 rapidly increases and the tank body 1 rapidly explodes, the part of the cover plate body 21 corresponding to the weak part is directly broken, and the gas in the tank body 1 is discharged from the broken gap, which plays a role in relieving the pressure and reducing the impact force of the explosion, so that the load on the connecting parts 3 at the remaining positions is relatively reduced, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of the cover plate body 21 being directly broken and flying away, thereby improving the safety of the energy storage tank.

[0060] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 4, in some embodiments, the energy storage tank has a first direction X and a second direction Y, and the first direction X and the second direction Y intersect. The tank body 1 includes a first edge portion 13, a second edge portion 14, a third edge portion 15 and a fourth edge portion 16 arranged at the tank opening 12 in sequence and connected in sequence, the first edge portion 13 and the third edge portion 15 extend along the first direction X and are arranged in sequence in the second direction Y, and the second edge portion 14 and the fourth edge portion 16 extend along the second direction Y and are arranged in sequence in the first direction X.

[0061] The first edge portion 13, the second edge portion 14, the third edge portion 15 and the fourth edge portion 16 are respectively provided with a plurality of connecting portions 3, the connecting portions 3 on the first edge portion 13 and the third edge portion 15 are arranged in sequence along the first direction X, and the connecting portions 3 on the second edge portion 14 and the fourth edge portion 16 are arranged in sequence along the second direction Y. The spacing size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the first edge portion 13 is greater than the spacing size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the third edge portion 15, that is, the distribution density of the connecting portions 3 on the first edge portion 13 is less than the distribution density of the connecting portions 3 on the third edge portion 15, or it can also be said that the number of connecting portions 3 on the first edge portion 13 is less than the number of connecting portions 3 on the third edge portion 15.

[0062] The connection strength of the first edge portion 13 and the tank body 1 is less than the connection strength of the third edge portion 15 and the tank body 1, and when the cover plate body 21 is subjected to pressure, it is easier to break between the first edge portion 13 and the cover plate body 21, thereby controlling the breaking position of the cover plate body 21, so that the gas in the tank body 1 can be discharged from the designed direction, thereby setting the direction of the weak position according to the arrangement of the objects around the energy storage tank, reducing the impact on the objects around the energy storage tank when discharging pressure, and improving safety.

[0063] Please combine Figure 2, Figure 5 and Figure 6, in some embodiments, the second direction Y corresponds to the direction of the third edge portion 15 pointing to the first edge portion 13, along the second direction Y, the spacing size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the second edge portion 14 gradually increases, and / or the spacing size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the fourth edge portion 16 gradually increases.

[0064] In the case where the spacing size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the second edge portion 14 gradually increases, the connecting portions 3 between the cover plate body 21 and the first edge portion 13 are broken, and then the connecting portions 3 between the cover plate body 21 and the second edge portion 14 are broken one by one against the second direction Y, thereby increasing the gap area that can be formed after the cover plate body 21 is broken, thereby facilitating the speed of pressure relief.

[0065] In the case that the interval size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the second edge portion 14 gradually increases and the interval size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the fourth edge portion 16 gradually increases, when the connection between the cover plate body 21 and the box body 1 is broken by pressure, the breaking position starts from the first edge portion 13, and opens up along the second edge portion 14 and the fourth edge portion 16 to the third edge portion 15, forming the action of the cover plate body 21 being flipped over with the third edge portion 15 as the axis. In this process, since the interval size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the second edge portion 14 and the fourth edge portion 16 gradually increases along the second direction Y, the pressure required for each connecting portion 3 to break during the process of the cover plate body 21 being flipped over against the second direction Y gradually increases, achieving gradual weakening of the pressure impact while releasing the pressure, so as to prevent the cover plate body 21 from being directly broken off from the box body 1 and causing damage to surrounding people or objects.

[0066] Please combine FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the interval size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the first edge portion 13 is greater than the interval size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the second edge portion 14, and / or the interval size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the first edge portion 13 is greater than the interval size L of the plurality of connecting portions 3 on the fourth edge portion 16. The connection strength between the cover plate body 21 and the first edge portion 13 is less than the connection strength between the cover plate body 21 and the second edge portion 14, and / or the connection strength between the cover plate body 21 and the first edge portion 13 is less than the connection strength between the cover plate body 21 and the fourth edge portion 16, so that when the cover plate body 21 is subjected to pressure, it can be ensured that the cover plate body 21 is broken first between the cover plate body 21 and the first edge portion 13, thereby guiding the cover plate body 21 to open up against the second direction Y.

[0067] Please combine FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, in some embodiments, the energy storage box further comprises a lock catch assembly 4, the lock catch assembly 4 comprises a first clamping piece 41 and a second clamping piece 42, the first clamping piece 41 is connected with the third edge portion 15, the second clamping piece 42 is connected with the cover plate body 21, and the second clamping piece 42 is in clamping connection with the first clamping piece 41.

[0068] The connecting strength between the cover plate body 21 and the third edge portion 15 is greater than the connecting strength between the cover plate body 21 and the first edge portion 13, so the locking assembly 4 is arranged at the third edge portion 15, the second clamping piece 42 and the first clamping piece 41 are clamped and connected, which plays a reinforcing role on the connection between the cover plate body 21 and the third edge portion 15. When the pressure on the cover plate body 21 is too large, even if the connecting portions 3 on the first edge portion 13, the second edge portion 14 and the fourth edge portion 16 are all broken, the force on the cover plate body 21 is weakened after being absorbed by each connecting portion 3, and the clamped connection of the first clamping piece 41 and the second clamping piece 42 can hold the cover plate body 21, so as to prevent the cover plate body 21 from flying out of the box body 1, thereby protecting people or objects around the energy storage box and further reducing the possibility of safety hazards.

[0069] Please combine FIG. 2 and FIG. 9 to FIG. 13, in some embodiments, the third edge portion 15 has a avoiding slot 151, the first clamping piece 41 is arranged on the side of the third edge portion 15 away from the cover plate body 21, the first clamping piece 41 includes a body 411 and a buckle portion 412, the body 411 is connected with the third edge portion 15, and the buckle portion 412 is connected with the body 411 and is arranged correspondingly with the avoiding slot 151. The second clamping piece 42 is connected to the side of the cover plate body 21 facing the third edge portion 15, the second clamping piece 42 is arranged in the avoiding slot 151 and is clamped and connected with the buckle portion 412.

[0070] The second clamping piece 42 cooperates with the buckle portion 412 through the avoiding slot 151, so that the positions of the first connecting piece and the second connecting piece can be as close to the box body 1 as possible, without the need for cooperation from the side of the third edge portion 15 away from the box body 1, which is beneficial to reduce the extension width of the third edge portion 15 in the direction away from the box body 1, so that the third edge portion 15 can keep the same width with the first edge portion 13 opposite to it, which is beneficial to save the occupied space of the box body 1 and facilitate the standardized processing of the box body 1.
