Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate representative embodiments of the present application and not limit the present application.
The application provides an air duct assembly and energy storage equipment 100 with the same.
The duct assembly according to the present application will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 to 7.
The duct assembly according to the present application may include a supply duct 151, a supply duct 152, and a baffle 160. The air supply passage 151 has an air outlet 151b. From which a cold gas stream can be output. The air supply channel 152 is connected to the air outlet 151b, and extends along the direction of the air outlet 151b. The air supply passage 152 is used for conveying the cold air flow along the direction of the air outlet 151b. An air distribution port 152a is provided at the lower portion of the air supply duct 152. Air is distributed to the region to be cooled through the air distribution openings 152a. The baffle 160 is located in the air supply duct 152. The baffle 160 has oppositely facing first and second ends 160a, 160b along the air outlet 151b. The first end 160a is closer to the air outlet 151b than the second end 160b. The second end 160b is oriented closer to the cloth port 152a than the first end 160a at the cloth port 152a. The tangential direction of the first end 160a is parallel to the orientation of the air outlet 151b. The first end 160a may be, for example, opposite to the air outlet 151b. The tangential direction of the second end 160b intersects the tangential direction of the first end 160 a. The intersection here may be, for example, an intersection. The baffle 160 between the first end 160a and the second end 160b has a smooth transition surface towards the air outlet 151b. The smooth transition surface is beneficial to reducing the loss of wind power. The deflector 160 is used for dividing the airflow output from the air outlet 151b and guiding the airflow to the air distribution opening 152a.
According to the air duct assembly, the air flow is received through the air supply channel 151, the air is distributed through the air distribution openings 152a through which the air is supplied, the air flow is split by the first end 160a of the air guide plate 160 by arranging the air guide plate 160 in the air supply channel 152, and the air is guided to the air distribution openings 152a through the air guide plate 160, so that the air guide purpose is realized, and the uniformity of the air flow distribution along each air distribution opening 152a is improved. The baffle 160 herein may act to guide the flow, increase the resistance along the way, and even the flow.
For example, the smooth transition surface may be configured as a curved surface 161. The curvature center of the curved surface 161 is located at a side of the curved surface 161 facing the air outlet 151b. The curved surface 161 has opposite facing head and tail ends along the air outlet 151b. The head end of the curved surface 161 is closer to the air outlet 151b than the tail end. The tangential direction of the head end of the curved surface 161 is parallel to the orientation of the air outlet 151b. Namely, the head end of the curved surface 161 faces the air outlet 151b, so that resistance to air flow is reduced, and better diversion of the air flow by the first end 160a of the deflector 160 is ensured.
Further, the curved surface 161 may include at least two circular arc segments sequentially arranged along the direction of the air outlet 151b. Adjacent two arc segments are arranged tangentially to each other. It is understood here that the second derivative at the junction of two adjacent circular segments is zero.
Illustratively, the curved surface 161 includes three circular arc segments (as shown in fig. 7). The three arc sections are respectively positioned on the three circles. The centers of the three circles are different and the radii are different.
Alternatively, the tangential direction of the second end 160b of the baffle 160 is perpendicular to the tangential direction of the first end 160 a. This achieves a 90 degree transition of the direction of the air flow D3.
For example, the air duct assembly may include at least two baffles 160. At least two baffles 160 are disposed at intervals along the direction of the air outlet 151b. The guide plates 160 are respectively disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the air distribution openings 152a, so as to guide the air flow in the air supply channel 152 to the air distribution openings 152a sequentially.
For example, the baffle 160 is provided with a vent 160c to allow airflow through the baffle 160. During the flow guiding process of the air guiding plate 160 to the air distributing opening 152a, part of the air can pass through the air hole 160c to be continuously conveyed to the next position. The baffle 160 serves to drain and increase resistance along the way. The opening ratio of the baffle 160 determines the amount of increasing resistance along the way, and therefore the required increasing resistance along the way is determined according to the specific pressure distribution in the air supply duct 152, and thus the opening ratio is determined. The uneven flow of air from the air outlet 151b is caused by uneven pressure distribution in the air supply passage 152, and the flow guide plate 160 is added to appropriately increase the on-way resistance and to uniformly distribute the pressure in the air supply passage 152, thereby improving the uniformity of the air flow distribution.
For example, the aperture ratio of the baffle 160 is between 25% and 75%.
Preferably, the aperture ratio of the baffle 160 is greater than 50%.
Further, the opening ratio of each baffle 160 decreases from the near to the far in the direction of the air outlet 151b. Thus, the resistance of the air flow can be gradually increased from the near to the far along the way, and the air flow pressure is further increased.
In another example of the application shown in fig. 5, the baffle 160 may further include a first extension plate portion 262. The first extension plate portion 262 is connected to a head end of the curved surface 261. And the first extension plate 262 extends along a tangential direction of the head end of the curved surface 261. By adding the first extension plate 262, the first end 160a can be closer to the air outlet 151b, thereby playing a role of diversion in advance.
Further, the baffle 160 may further include a second extension plate portion 263. The second extension plate portion 263 is connected to the end of the curved surface 261. And the second extension plate portion 263 is extended in a tangential direction of the end of the curved surface 161. This is advantageous in that the accuracy of the flow guiding of the air flow by the guide plate 160 is improved, so that the air flow at the end of the guide plate 160 is closer to the area to be cooled, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
For example, the first end 160a of the baffle 160 is spaced apart from an inner surface of the air supply duct 152 facing away from the air distribution opening 152a. This allows the air flow to pass through the gap between the baffle 160 and the inner surface of the air supply channel 152 so that the air flow can be split and directed by the baffle 160 downstream in the air flow direction.
Further, the projected area of the baffle 160 within the cross-section of the air-supply duct 152 does not exceed 60% of the cross-sectional area of the air-supply duct 152.
Alternatively, the first end 160a of the baffle 160 furthest from the air outlet 151b is connected to the inner surface of the air supply duct 152 in the direction of the air outlet 151b.
For example, the baffle 160 is at least partially constructed in a soft, resilient structure. This may cause the baffle 160 to at least partially deform and move when subjected to the pressure of the airflow. To ensure uniformity of the diversion of the baffle 160, the first end 160a of the baffle 160 may be fixedly disposed. The remaining portion of the baffle 160 may be adaptively deformed and moved according to the magnitude of wind.
The present application also provides an energy storage device 100. The energy storage device 100 may include a housing 101, a battery pack 170, an air duct assembly as described above, and an air conditioner 190. The case 101 may include an equipment compartment 130 and a battery compartment 120. The battery clusters 170 are disposed in the battery compartment 120 at intervals along the longitudinal direction D1 of the case 101. Cooling channels 180 are formed between adjacent battery clusters 170. The air supply channel 151 includes an air inlet 151a and an air outlet 151b. The air inlet 151a communicates with the equipment compartment 130. The air outlet 151b communicates with the energy storage compartment. The air outlet 151b is arranged toward the battery compartment 120 along the length direction D1 of the case 101. The air blowing duct 152 is located above the battery pack 170 and extends in the longitudinal direction D1 of the casing 101. The lower portion of the air supply duct 152 is provided with an air distribution opening 152a. The baffle 160 is disposed corresponding to the cooling passage 180. An air conditioner 190 is located in the equipment compartment 130 to deliver a cooling air flow to the air intake 151 a.
According to the energy storage device 100 of the present application, by applying the above-described air duct assembly, the cooling of each battery cluster 170 can be achieved by distributing the cool air flow to the cooling channels 180 along the way through the baffle 160. And meanwhile, the uniformity of cold air flow distribution can be improved, the maximum temperature difference among the battery clusters 170 is reduced, and the heat management efficiency is further improved.
For example, the projection of the baffle 160 on the corresponding cooling channel 180 in the height direction D2 of the case 101 at least partially covers the cooling channel 180. This may allow the airflow to eventually be directed into the cooling channel 180.
For example, in the longitudinal direction D1 of the case 101, the second end 160b of the deflector 160 is located between two adjacent clusters 170 to deflect the air flow between the two adjacent clusters 170.
Optionally, along the length direction D1 of the case 101, the second end 160b of the baffle 160 is closer to one of the two adjacent battery clusters 170 that is farther from the air outlet 151b. This is advantageous in that the air quantity in the cooling passage 180 is increased, thereby improving the cooling effect.
For example, the first end 160a of the baffle 160 is fixedly disposed relative to the housing 101. The second end 160b of the baffle 160 is movably disposed with respect to the casing 101 along the length direction D1 of the casing 101. This enables the lower portion of the baffle 160 to adaptively adjust the position of the second end 160b of the baffle 160 according to the amount of wind or the magnitude of wind, so that the flow guiding range and direction of the baffle 160 can be adaptively adjusted.
Illustratively, the interior of the case 101 is provided with a first partition 110 and a second partition 140. The first partition 110 is vertically disposed. The top end of the first partition 110 is spaced apart from the inner top of the case 101. The first partition 110 partitions the internal space of the case 101 into a battery compartment 120 and an equipment compartment 130. The second separator 140 is horizontally disposed in the battery compartment 120. And one end of the second separator 140 is connected to the top end of the first separator 110. An air supply passage 151 is formed between the second partition 140 and the inner top of the battery compartment 120. The second separator 140 is positioned above the battery cluster 170.
The cabinet 101 may include a base 101a, side walls 101b, a front end wall 101c, a rear end wall 101d, and a top wall 101e. The base 101a is located below the top wall 101e. The side wall 101b, front end wall 101c, rear end wall 101d are connected between the base 101a and top wall 101e. The side walls 101b are located at both ends of the base 101a in the width direction. The front end wall 101c is located at the front end portion of the base 101 a. The rear end wall 101d is located at the rear end of the base 101 a. An equipment compartment 130 is formed between the first bulkhead 110 and the front end wall 101 c. An air supply passage 151 is formed between the second partition 140 and the top wall 101e. The junction between the upper portion of rear end wall 101d and top wall 101e may be configured as a radiused transition surface to allow backflow of the air flow and reduce air flow losses.
The application relates to a container energy storage air-cooling flow equalizing structure, namely energy storage equipment 100. The equipment bay 130 and the air conditioner 190 described above together form an air conditioning unit. The air conditioning case may provide a cool air flow for the air supply passage 151. The cold air flow distributes the flow rate to each cooling channel 180 from top to bottom along the flow direction in the air supply channel 151, and the deflector 160 has streamline flow guiding capability, so that the flow rate of the cold air flow in each cooling channel 180 along the way is almost equal.
