Description

A UPS cabinet structure Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a UPS cabinet structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the in-depth development of new energy industries such as energy storage, photovoltaics, and wind power, multiple new energy sources are integrating with each other to form complementary energy stations.

[0003] Currently, conventional UPS battery modules typically use wiring harnesses for output and single-wire communication connections. If a wiring harness malfunctions during use after system assembly, the entire cabinet's module system will malfunction and become unusable. Furthermore, wiring harness terminals are prone to overheating during high-current output. Since they are usually secured with only a single screw, this can negatively impact assembly quality, reduce connection reliability, and ultimately shorten the cabinet's lifespan.

[0030] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, this utility model embodiment proposes the following technical solution: a UPS cabinet structure, including a cabinet 10, wherein a battery management system 20 and at least two adjacent rows of first battery cell modules 30 and second battery cell modules 40 are arranged inside the cabinet 10; the battery management system 20 is arranged near the top of the cabinet 10, and the first battery cell modules 30 and the second battery cell modules 40 are both arranged below the battery management system 20;

[0031] The first battery cell module 30 includes several layers of first battery boxes 31, and the second battery cell module 40 includes several layers of second battery boxes 41.
