Alternatively, the first battery device 12 can be first fixed to a shelf, and then the shelf is connected to the wall of the first bin body 11 by a bolt, a rivet, a connecting pin or the like. In this way, the first battery device 12 is less likely to move in the first bin body 11 due to shaking, and the possibility of damage to the first battery device 12 is reduced.

[0085] Exemplarily, the first bin body 11 can be provided with at least two first battery devices 12. The at least two battery devices can be connected in series by a busbar to form a battery cluster 13.

The hollow structure can serve as an accommodation space for accommodating the first heat exchange assembly 220 in the energy storage device, and the first heat exchange assembly 220 can be protected by the second bin body 20.

[0087] The first heat exchange assembly 220 can be an assembly for heat exchange between the battery device in the energy storage device and the outside. The heat exchange medium in the first heat exchange assembly 220 can absorb heat from the battery device and dissipate the heat to the outside environment through the first heat exchange assembly 220. Alternatively, the heat exchange medium in the first heat exchange assembly 220 can absorb heat from the outside environment through the first heat exchange assembly 220 and transfer the heat to the battery monomers in the battery device, so that the battery monomers in the battery device are at an appropriate temperature, which is conducive to keeping the battery device in a good working state.

[0088] The second bin body 20 accommodates the first heat exchange assembly 220. The first heat exchange assembly 220 can be located in the second bin body 20, and the first heat exchange assembly 220 can be connected to the wall of the second bin body 20 by a bolt, a rivet, a connecting pin or the like. In this way, the components in the first heat exchange assembly 220 are less likely to move in the second bin body 20 due to shaking, and the possibility of damage to the components in the first heat exchange assembly 220 is reduced.

[0089] The second module 2 is stacked on the upper side of the first module 1. In the vertical direction, the second module 2 is arranged on the upper side of the first module 1, so that the first module 1 and the second module 2 in the energy storage device are arranged in the vertical direction. This is conducive to reducing the area occupied by the energy storage device in the horizontal direction and improving the utilization rate of space.

[0090] The second module 2 can be connected to the first module 1 by connecting the second housing 20 to the first housing 11. The first module 1 and the second module 2 can be firmly connected to form an integrated structure. The first housing 11 of the first module 1 can be connected to the second housing 20 of the second module 2 by bolts, rivets, connecting pins, or other connecting elements. The first module 1 and the second module 2 are firmly connected, which improves the overall structural strength of the energy storage device and improves the reliability of the energy storage device.

[0091] The second module 2 can be lifted to the upper side of the first module 1 by a crane or other lifting equipment, and then the second housing 20 can be connected to the first housing 11.

[0092] In the above structure, the energy storage device includes the first module 1 and the second module 2 stacked together, and the first module 1 includes the first housing 11 containing the first battery device 12, and the second module 2 includes the second housing 20 containing the first heat exchange assembly 220. When assembling the energy storage device, only the first housing 11 of the assembled first module 1 needs to be connected to the second housing 20 of the assembled second module 2, and there is no need to install each functional component of the energy storage device on site, which improves the installation convenience of the energy storage device.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first module 1 includes at least two first modules 1 stacked in the vertical direction, and the adjacent first housings 11 are connected.

[0094] The first module 1 includes at least two first modules 1 arranged in the vertical direction. The energy storage device includes at least two first modules 1, which can include more battery devices, and can store more electrical energy. By arranging the at least two first modules 1 in the vertical direction, the area occupied by the energy storage device in the horizontal direction is reduced, and the utilization of space is improved.

[0095] The second module 2 can be connected to the first module 1 by connecting the second housing 20 to the first housing 11. The first module 1 and the second module 2 can be firmly connected to form an integrated structure. The first housing 11 of the first module 1 can be connected to the second housing 20 of the second module 2 by bolts, rivets, connecting pins, or other connecting elements. The first module 1 and the second module 2 are firmly connected, which improves the overall structural strength of the energy storage device and improves the reliability of the energy storage device.

[0096] In some embodiments, the center of gravity of the second module 2 is located at the geometric center of the second module 2.

[0097] Since the second module 2 is arranged on the upper side of the first module 1, during the installation of the energy storage device, the second module 2 needs to be hoisted to the upper side of the first module 1. By configuring the center of gravity of the second module 2 to be located at the geometric center of the second module 2, the second module 2 is less likely to sway during hoisting, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of falling off or colliding with other components during hoisting.

[0098] The center of gravity of the second module 2 is configured to be located at the geometric center of the second module 2. Alternatively, the center of gravity of the second module 2 is configured to be located near the geometric center of the second module 2, i.e., the center of gravity of the second module 2 is configured to be located at a distance from the geometric center of the second module 2 that is less than or equal to a second preset distance. Exemplarily, the second preset distance can be 3m, 2m or 1.5m. Those skilled in the art can set the specific distance of the second preset distance according to the actual situation.

[0099] In some embodiments, the second module 2 further comprises a first electrical assembly 23, and the second bin body 20 contains the first electrical assembly 23. The first electrical assembly 23 is electrically connected to the first battery device 12.

[0100] Exemplarily, the first electrical assembly 23 can include energy storage converters, battery management systems, electrically controlled switches, fire control controllers and other electrical components. These electrical components are electrically connected to the battery device, so that the energy storage device can work normally.

[0101] The second bin body 20 contains the first electrical assembly 23. Alternatively, the first electrical assembly 23 can be located in the second bin body 20, and the devices in the first electrical assembly 23 are connected to the wall of the second bin body 20 by bolts, rivets, connecting pins and other connecting members. This reduces the possibility of movement of the components in the first electrical assembly 23 due to shaking in the second bin body 20, and is beneficial to reduce the possibility of damage to the components in the first electrical assembly 23.

[0102] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 3, the first electrical assembly 23 and the first heat exchange assembly 220 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2.

[0103] Since each device in the first electrical assembly 23 and each device in the first heat exchange assembly 220 are heavy devices in the second module 2, by symmetrically arranging the first electrical assembly 23 and the first heat exchange assembly 220 relative to the geometric center of the second module 2, the center of gravity of the second module 2 is closer to the geometric center of the second module 2, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the second module 2 during hoisting, so that the second module 2 is less likely to sway during hoisting, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of falling off or colliding with other components during hoisting.

[0104] The first electrical component 23 and the first heat exchange component 220 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2. The first electrical component 23 as a whole and the first heat exchange component 220 as a whole can be symmetrically arranged on two sides of the geometric center of the second module 2, so that the gravity center of the second module 2 is close to the geometric center of the second module 2. Alternatively, the devices in the first electrical component 23 and the devices in the first heat exchange component 220 can be symmetrically arranged on two sides of the geometric center of the second module 2. Alternatively, the devices in the first electrical component 23 and the devices in the first heat exchange component 220 can be symmetrically arranged around the geometric center of the second module 2.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second cabinet 20 is provided with a first ventilation opening 21 and a second ventilation opening 22, both of which are connected to the interior of the second cabinet 20.

[0106] The first ventilation opening 21 and the second ventilation opening 22 can be windows for ventilation on the wall of the second cabinet 20, which can communicate the interior of the second cabinet 20 with the outside. For example, the first ventilation opening 21 can be a window for incoming air, and the second ventilation opening 22 can be a window for outgoing air, so that the fresh air entering from the first ventilation opening 21 can be discharged to the outside through the second ventilation opening 22.

[0107] By opening the first ventilation opening 21 and the second ventilation opening 22 on the wall of the second cabinet 20 for ventilation, outside air can enter the interior of the second cabinet 20 and take away the heat inside the second cabinet 20, so that the heat emitted by the first heat exchange component 220 to the interior of the second cabinet 20 can be quickly dissipated into the outside air.

[0108] In some embodiments, the second cabinet 20 includes a first top wall 24 and a first side wall 25 connected to each other, the second ventilation opening 22 is arranged on the first top wall 24, and the first ventilation opening 21 is arranged on the first side wall 25.

[0109] The first top wall 24 and the first side wall 25 can be wall structures in the second cabinet 20 for enclosing a containing space, and the first heat exchange component 220 and other devices in the second module 2 can be connected to the first top wall 24 or the first side wall 25, so that the load of these devices can be transmitted to the first module 1 through the first side wall 25 or the first side wall 25.

[0110] The first top wall 24 can be a wall structure on the top side of the second cabinet 20, which can be arranged in a horizontal direction or at an angle less than 90° with the horizontal direction. The first side wall 25 can enclose a hollow structure with open ends, and the first top wall 24 is connected to the top end of the hollow structure.

[0111] By setting the second vent 22 on the first top wall 24 and the first vent 21 on the first side wall 25, the second vent 22 and the first vent 21 are arranged on different wall structures respectively, which can reduce the damage of the arrangement of the vents to the wall structure of the second bin body 20, and help to improve the structural strength of the second bin body 20.

[0112] Exemplarily, the second vent 22 can be an air outlet arranged on the first top wall 24, so that the air in the second bin body 20 can be smoothly discharged from the second vent when the air is heated and rises.

[0113] In some embodiments, the second vent 22 is arranged on the first side wall 25, and the first vent 21 is arranged on the first top wall 24.

[0114] In some embodiments, the projection of the second vent 22 in the vertical direction covers the geometric center of the second module 2.

[0115] By covering the geometric center of the second module 2 with the projection of the second vent 22 in the vertical direction, the second vent 22 can correspond to the central region of the second bin body 20, which not only enables the second vent 22 to better discharge the air inside the second bin body 20, but also reduces the influence of the second vent 22 on the center of gravity of the second module 2.

[0116] In some embodiments, the second vent 22 is provided with at least two, and the projections of the at least two second vents 22 in the vertical direction are symmetrical relative to the geometric center of the second module 2.

[0117] By providing at least two second vents 22, the air inside the second bin body 20 can be more smoothly discharged, which is conducive to making the second module 2 have good ventilation performance. By setting the positions of the at least two second vents 22, the projections of the at least two second vents 22 in the vertical direction are symmetrical relative to the geometric center of the second module 2, so that the at least two second vents 22 can symmetrically communicate with the central region of the internal space of the second bin body 20, which not only enables the second vent 22 to better discharge the air inside the second bin body 20, but also reduces the influence of the second vent 22 on the center of gravity of the second module 2.

[0118] The projections of the at least two second air vents 22 in the vertical direction are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2. The projection of each of the at least two first air vents 21 in the vertical direction can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the geometric center of the second module 2 in a scattered manner. Alternatively, the projection of each of the at least two first air vents 21 in the vertical direction can be arranged around the outside of the geometric center of the second module 2 in a scattered manner with the geometric center of the second module 2 as the center.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first module 1 is provided with at least two first air vents 21, and the at least two first air vents 21 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the first module 1.

[0120] The at least two first air vents 21 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2, which is beneficial to reduce the influence of the first air vent 21 on the position of the gravity center of the second module 2.

[0121] The at least two first air vents 21 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2. The projection of each of the at least two first air vents 21 in the vertical direction can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the geometric center of the second module 2 in a scattered manner. Alternatively, the projection of each of the at least two first air vents 21 in the vertical direction can be arranged around the outside of the geometric center of the second module 2 in a scattered manner with the geometric center of the second module 2 as the center.

[0122] In some embodiments, the gravity center of the first module 1 is configured to be located at the geometric center of the first module 1.

[0123] Since the first module 1 can be provided with a plurality of first modules 1 arranged in a vertical direction, the first module 1 located on the upper layer needs to be hoisted to the upper side of the first module 1 located on the lower layer. By configuring the gravity center of the first module 1 to be located at the geometric center of the first module 1, the first module 1 is less likely to sway during hoisting, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of falling off or colliding with other components during hoisting.

[0124] The gravity center of the first module 1 is configured to be located at the geometric center of the first module 1. Alternatively, the gravity center of the first module 1 is configured to be located near the geometric center of the first module 1, i.e., the distance between the gravity center of the first module 1 and the geometric center of the first module 1 is less than or equal to a first preset distance. For example, the first preset distance can be 3 m, 2 m or 1.5 m. Those skilled in the art can set the specific distance of the first preset distance according to actual conditions.

[0125] In some embodiments, the first module 1 is provided with at least two first battery devices 12, and the at least two first battery devices 12 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the first module 1.

[0126] By arranging at least two first battery devices 12 in the first module 1, the at least two first battery devices 12 are arranged in series or in parallel, so that the first battery devices 12 in the first module 1 can store more electric energy. By arranging the at least two first battery devices 12 symmetrically relative to the geometric center of the first module 1, the center of gravity of the first module 1 can be closer to the geometric center of the first module 1, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the first module 1 during hoisting.

[0127] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, the second module 2 comprises a maintenance assembly 210, and the maintenance assembly 210 is arranged in the second cabinet 20.

[0128] The maintenance assembly 210 can be a device for maintaining the energy storage device. The maintenance assembly 210 is arranged in the second cabinet 20, and can be arranged inside the second cabinet 20 and connected to the wall of the second cabinet 20, or arranged outside the second cabinet 20 and connected to the wall of the second cabinet 20.

[0129] For example, the maintenance assembly 210 can be connected to the wall of the second cabinet 20 by using bolts, rivets, connecting pins and the like. In some embodiments, the maintenance assembly 210 can comprise a tool box, a maintenance ladder and the like.

[0130] In some embodiments, the second module 2 further comprises a display screen arranged on the wall of the second cabinet 20.

[0132] The heat sink 26 can be a heat exchanger arranged in the second cabinet 20, which serves as a device for heat exchange with the outside in the first heat exchange assembly 220. The heat exchange medium in the heat exchange assembly can absorb heat from the battery device and dissipate to the outside environment through the heat sink 26. The outside air entering the second cabinet 20 from the first ventilation opening 21 can be discharged to the outside through the second ventilation opening 22 after heat exchange with the heat sink 26.

[0133] The fan 27 can be a device for accelerating air flow. The air outlet of the fan 27 is communicated with the second ventilation opening 22, which is used to accelerate the speed of air flow in the second cabinet 20, which is beneficial to improve the heat exchange effect of the heat sink 26.

[0134] Exemplarily, the fan 27 can be located inside the second bin body 20 or outside the second bin body 20.

[0135] The second heat exchanger in the battery device exchanges heat with the internal battery monomer. The heat management pipeline 213 can be a pipeline for connecting the heat dissipator 26 and the second heat exchanger in the first battery device 12, which enables the heat exchange medium to flow in circulation between the heat dissipator 26 and the second heat exchanger, so that the first battery device 12 located in the first bin body 11 can exchange heat with the outside through the heat dissipator 26.

[0136] In some embodiments, the first heat exchange assembly 220 further comprises a compressor 211 and a circulating pump 212, and the heat management pipeline 213 sequentially connects the compressor 211, the heat dissipator 26, the first battery device 12 and the circulating pump 212, and the compressor 211, the heat dissipator 26, the first battery device 12 and the circulating pump 212 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2.

[0137] The compressor 211 extracts and compresses the heat exchange medium from the first battery device 12 (low pressure side), so that the temperature and pressure of the heat exchange medium are increased, and the heat exchange medium is pushed to the heat dissipator 26 (high pressure side), so that the heat exchange medium is better dissipated to the outside. The circulating pump 212 can promote the flow of the heat exchange medium in the heat management pipeline 213, which is beneficial to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the first heat exchange assembly 220.

[0138] The heat management pipeline 213 sequentially connects the compressor 211, the heat dissipator 26, the first battery device 12 and the circulating pump 212, so that the heat exchange medium can flow in circulation, and the heat of the first battery device 12 is transported to the heat dissipator 26 for heat dissipation.

[0139] By symmetrically arranging the compressor 211, the heat dissipator 26, the first battery device 12 and the circulating pump 212 relative to the geometric center of the second module 2, the gravity center of the second module 2 is closer to the geometric center of the second module 2, which is beneficial to improve the stability of the second module 2 during hoisting, so that the second module 2 is not easy to swing during hoisting, and the possibility of falling off or colliding with other components during hoisting is reduced.

[0140] The compressor 211, the heat dissipator 26, the first battery device 12 and the circulating pump 212 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2, which can be that the compressor 211, the heat dissipator 26, the first battery device 12 and the circulating pump 212 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the geometric center of the second module 2; or the compressor 211, the heat dissipator 26, the first battery device 12 and the circulating pump 212 are dispersedly arranged outside the geometric center of the second module 2 with the geometric center of the second module 2 as the center.

[0141] In some embodiments, the compressor 211 is provided with at least two, and the at least two compressors 211 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2.

[0142] By providing the compressor 211 with at least two, the working efficiency of the first heat exchange assembly 220 is improved. By symmetrically arranging the at least two compressors 211 relative to the geometric center of the second module 2, the center of gravity of the second module 2 is closer to the geometric center of the second module 2, which improves the stability of the second module 2 during hoisting, so that the second module 2 is not easy to sway during hoisting, and the possibility of falling off or colliding with other components during hoisting is reduced.

[0143] The at least two compressors 211 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the geometric center of the second module 2, or can be dispersedly arranged on the outer side of the geometric center of the second module 2 with the geometric center of the second module 2 as the center.

[0144] In some embodiments, the fan 27 is provided with at least two, and the at least two fans 27 are symmetrically arranged relative to the geometric center of the second module 2.

[0145] By providing the fan 27 with at least two, the at least two fans 27 have larger ventilation capacity, which improves the air circulation in the second cavity body 20 and improves the heat dissipation of the battery device in the energy storage device.

[0146] By symmetrically arranging the at least two fans 27 relative to the geometric center of the second module 2, the center of gravity of the second module 2 is closer to the geometric center of the second module 2, which improves the stability of the second module 2 during hoisting, so that the second module 2 is not easy to sway during hoisting, and the possibility of falling off or colliding with other components during hoisting is reduced.

[0147] The at least two fans 27 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the geometric center of the second module 2, or can be dispersedly arranged on the outer side of the geometric center of the second module 2 with the geometric center of the second module 2 as the center.

[0149] The battery cluster 13 can be a device including at least one first battery device 12. At least two battery clusters 13 in the first module 1 are connected in series and / or in parallel through the heat management pipeline 213, which enables the first battery device 12 in at least two battery clusters 13 to be in communication with the first heat exchange assembly 220 through the heat management pipeline 213, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the first battery device 12 in at least two battery clusters 13.

[0150] Exemplarily, at least two battery clusters 13 can be connected in series through the heat management pipeline 213; at least two battery clusters 13 can also be connected in parallel through the heat management pipeline 213; at least two battery clusters 13 can also be connected in series-parallel through the heat management pipeline 213, which means that at least two battery clusters 13 are connected in both series and parallel.

[0151] In some embodiments, the battery cluster 13 includes at least two first battery devices 12, and the heat management pipeline 213 connects the at least two first battery devices 12 in the battery cluster 13 in series and / or in parallel.

[0152] The heat management pipeline 213 connects at least two first battery devices 12 in the same battery cluster 13 in series and / or in parallel, so that each first battery device 12 in the same battery cluster 13 can be smoothly cooled from the outside.

[0153] Exemplarily, at least two first battery devices 12 in the same battery cluster 13 can be connected in series through the heat management pipeline 213; at least two first battery devices 12 in the same battery cluster 13 can also be connected in parallel through the heat management pipeline 213; at least two first battery devices 12 in the same battery cluster 13 can also be connected in series-parallel through the heat management pipeline 213, which means that at least two first battery devices 12 are connected in both series and parallel.

[0154] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7, the heat management pipeline 213 includes a first pipe segment 2131, a second pipe segment 2132, and a connecting pipe segment 2133. The first pipe segment 2131 is located in the first warehouse body 11, the second pipe segment 2132 is located in the second warehouse body 20, and the connecting pipe segment 2133 is connected between the first pipe segment 2131 and the second pipe segment 2132 and penetrates the wall body of the second warehouse body 20 and the wall body of the first warehouse body 11.

[0155] The first pipe section 2131, the second pipe section 2132 and the connecting pipe section 2133 can be different pipe sections in the heat management pipeline 213, which are in communication with each other to communicate the first battery device 12 with the heat sink 26. The first pipe section 2131 can be a pipe section located in the first bin body 11 and capable of being in communication with the first battery device 12; the second pipe section 2132 can be a pipe section located in the second bin body 20 and capable of being in communication with the heat sink 26; and the connecting pipe section 2133 is a pipe section connecting the first pipe section 2131 and the second pipe section 2132, which can extend along the vertical direction and penetrate the wall of the second bin body 20 and the wall of the first bin body 11 to be connected between the first pipe section 2131 and the second pipe section 2132 to form a circulation pipeline.

[0156] The heat management pipeline 213 is provided as above, which is conducive to reducing the total length of the pipeline, not only conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the energy storage device, but also conducive to shortening the travel distance of the heat exchange medium, and conducive to reducing the energy consumption and operation cost.

[0157] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 8, the heat management pipeline 213 includes a third pipe section 2134, a fourth pipe section 2135, a fifth pipe section 2136, a first extension pipe section 2137 and a second extension pipe section 2138. The third pipe section 2134 is located in the first bin body 11, the fourth pipe section 2135 is located in the second bin body 20, and the fifth pipe section 2136 is located outside the second bin body 20 and the first bin body 11. The first extension pipe section 2137 is connected between the third pipe section 2134 and the fifth pipe section 2136 and penetrates the wall of the first bin body 11, and the second extension pipe section 2138 is connected between the fourth pipe section 2135 and the fifth pipe section 2136 and penetrates the wall of the second bin body 20.

[0158] The third pipe section 2134, the fourth pipe section 2135, the fifth pipe section 2136, the first extension pipe section 2137 and the second extension pipe section 2138 are different pipe sections in the heat management pipeline 213, which are in communication with each other to communicate the first battery device 12 with the heat sink 26.

[0159] The heat management pipeline 213 is partially arranged outside the first and second storage bodies 11 and 20, so that the heat management pipeline 213 can be conveniently installed outside the first and second storage bodies 11 and 20, and the installation convenience of the energy storage device is improved.

[0160] In some embodiments, the second extension pipeline segment 2138 is arranged at a distance from the top end of the second storage body 20 that is less than the distance from the bottom end of the second storage body 20.
