With the acceleration of the pace of life of people, various power tools (such as automatic home appliances, DIY tools and the like) are becoming more popular worldwide, and commercial garden tools are one of them.
Commercial garden-type tools are specialized power tools designed for garden workers or gardeners, commonly referred to as maintenance equipment for landscapes, which typically operate on lawns, hedges, flowers, trees, gardens, etc., and may include one or more of the following tools: grass cutters, lawnmowers, pruners, chain saws, blowers, leaf shredders, snowplows, and the like.
The working power of the commercial garden tool is generally higher, for example, the power of the garden blower is generally 2300W, the power of the mower is generally 2600W, so that the working requirement of the commercial garden tool can be well met by adopting fuel oil as a power source, and the commercial garden tool can be supported to work for a long time. However, the fuel oil tool brings environmental pollution when in use, and the fuel oil tool has larger noise, which is not beneficial to the health of users. Accordingly, alternatives to fuel powered tools have been sought.
Electric power is an environment-friendly, clean and renewable energy source, and electric tools adopting the electric power as a power source are increasingly favored by people. In general, the electric tool is powered by a direct current power supply or an alternating current power supply, but the commercial garden tool usually works outdoors, and the alternating current power supply is difficult to obtain. Therefore, in the field of commercial garden tools, the use of a direct current power supply is more suitable. Preferably, the direct current power supply can be a battery pack, so that the portable electric power device is convenient for a working team to carry around when going out.
The working scenario of a commercial garden-like tool may be described generally as follows: when working team goes out in daytime, the vehicle is used for carrying various garden tools required by the work to various gardens, such as wheeled electric tools of a hand-push mower, an intelligent mower and the like, and hand-held electric tools of a mower, a pruner, a blower and the like; while the work team also needs to carry a dc power supply, such as a battery pack or the like.
When the garden electric tool works, a working team firstly goes to the first garden and works by using various carried garden electric tools. For garden trimming work, mowing work is typically the longest time consuming, and although the lawn sizes are not uniform from household to household, mowing work takes 20-40 minutes on average. Thus, one worker immediately begins mowing with the mower per garden. During mowing, another worker can sequentially complete other types of work by using the handheld electric tool, such as the other worker can mow grass, prune, blow grass again, complete all work almost simultaneously, and then the work team is transferred to the second garden. This is cycled until one day of work is completed.
Therefore, the commercial garden tools have large workload and long working time; if a power tool is to be used instead of a fuel tool, the problem of continuous energy supply of the power tool must be considered.
One solution is to prepare a large number of battery packs to supply power to the electric tools, which undoubtedly brings inconvenience to the outgoing team who originally carries a plurality of different types of garden tools, and has high working cost; another method is to directly charge the battery pack on site by using an outdoor energy storage power supply.
The existing outdoor energy storage power supply is generally used for serving a household user, for example, can serve as a standby power supply during camping, so that the capacity of a stored battery unit is generally not more than 5kw & lt/EN & gt and the output power is generally not more than 100W, and the power requirement of garden tools cannot be met; meanwhile, the output interface of the energy storage power supply is mostly configured as a USB interface or an AC socket and is not matched with the plug-in terminal of the battery pack for the electric tool; more cumbersome, the battery unit and the electric control unit of the existing energy storage power supply are usually placed in the same shell, and the capacity of the energy storage power supply is limited by the capacity of the single battery unit; once the electric quantity of the battery unit is insufficient, the battery unit must be charged first, and the external charging component can be charged by using the energy storage power supply; and the energy storage power supply shell is also provided with an air inlet and an air outlet for external air flow to enter the shell for heat dissipation. The outdoor environment is complex and changeable, and impurities such as rainwater, dust and the like can enter the inside of the shell through the air inlet and the air outlet, pollute the battery unit and the electric control unit, so that the battery unit and the electric control unit cannot work.

Wherein the second digital signal communication insert sheet 3435 comprises two insert sheets 3435a and 3435b, respectively, which are insulated from each other.
In the process of moving the vehicle, the conditions of braking, jolting and the like are unavoidable. In order to prevent the external battery pack from slipping out of the battery pack mounting seat and falling down due to vibration of the vehicle, the battery pack mounting seat of the embodiment further comprises a locking device under the condition that the external battery pack is damaged. The locking device is used for locking the connection state of the external battery pack and the battery pack mounting seat, specifically, please refer to fig. 20, 22a and 22b.
The locking means includes a lock 3441 and an unlock knob 3442, both of which are movably supported on the base 341 by the first spring 38 and the second spring 40, respectively.
Here, when no external force is applied, the lock catch 3441 is defined as a natural position; the lock 3441 is moved rearward against the urging force of the first spring 38 when it is subjected to an external force, and is in a retracted position.
Next, the operation principle of the lock catch 3441 and the unlock button 3442 will be described taking a process of attaching the external battery pack to the battery pack mount and removing the battery pack from the battery pack mount as an example.
Referring to fig. 20, when it is desired to charge an external battery pack, the battery pack is mounted to the battery pack mounting base along the first type rail 342a from top to bottom; at this time, the lock catch 3441 moves backward to the retracted position shown in fig. 22b by the abutment action of the battery pack; when the battery pack is mounted in place, the catch 3441 is restored to the natural position shown in fig. 22a by the first spring 38 and is engaged with the locking portion of the battery pack, thereby mounting the external battery pack to the battery pack mounting base 34.
When the battery pack needs to be removed, the worker needs to press the unlocking button 3442 against the elastic force of the second spring 40; the lower end of the unlocking button 3442 abuts against the lock catch 3441 to drive the lock catch 3441 to move backwards, so that the lock catch 3441 is separated from the locking part of the battery pack; to this end, the lock of the external battery pack is released, which can slide out from the first-type rail 342 a.
In the energy storage power supply 100 of the present embodiment, the charging cabinet 20 has a large charging current for the external battery pack. If the battery pack accidentally slips out of the battery pack mounting seat in the charging process, or if the charging is not completed, the user needs to use an external battery pack to slip the battery pack out of the battery pack mounting seat, and the electrode plate can be ignited due to charging current, and then ablated, so that the battery pack cannot work normally. For this reason, in the unlocking device of the present embodiment, when the user presses the unlocking button 3442, an electronic switch is triggered. The electronic switch is used to disconnect the charging circuit of the charging cabinet 20 to an external battery pack connected to the battery pack mount. When the user releases the unlocking button or reaches a predetermined time, the electronic switch is restored to turn on the charging circuit of the battery pack mounting base to the external battery pack mounted thereon.
In this embodiment, the first-type battery pack mount 34 is also configured to detachably connect to the second-type battery pack 203. For this reason, the mounting portion 342 is designed to include two types of rails, the first type of rails 342a is used for detachably connecting the first type of battery pack 201, and the second type of rails 342b is used for detachably connecting the second type of battery pack 203, so that the first type of battery pack mounting seat 34 can charge both the first type of battery pack 201 and the second type of battery pack 203 under the condition of sharing the output interface 343 and the locking device, thus simplifying the structure and improving the suitability of the first type of battery pack mounting seat 34.
The second type battery pack mounting base 36 has a similar structure to the first type battery pack mounting base 34, and includes a second type rail, an output interface and a locking device, and the second type rail, the output interface and the locking device have the same structure, relative positions, dimensions and actions as those of the first type battery pack mounting base 34, except that the second type battery pack mounting base 36 is only provided with the second type rail, and only the second type battery pack can be mounted.
In the present embodiment, the extending direction of the first type rail 342a and the second type rail 342b is parallel to the vertical direction, that is, the sliding direction of the external battery pack is parallel to the vertical direction. The external battery pack can be easily slid into the battery pack mounting seat by utilizing the self gravity of the external battery pack on one hand, and a user does not apply more force; on the other hand, the rail is arranged along the vertical direction, so that the use space of the energy storage power supply 100 can be further saved, and the use rate of the carriage is improved. This is because, in the process of inserting and extracting the battery pack, it is necessary to consider that a certain space is reserved in the slip direction of the battery pack, which can also be said to be the use space of the energy storage power supply 100. The track is arranged in the vertical direction, and occupies only the space above the energy storage power supply 100, and the space above the energy storage power supply 100 is abundant. If the first type rail 342a or the second type rail 342b is designed to extend in the horizontal direction or the oblique direction, a certain amount of space for the sliding of the external battery pack must be reserved in the horizontal direction, which necessarily occupies the space on the compartment that may be used for placing a mower or a grass mower.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the battery pack mounting seat further includes a second air inlet 6 communicating with the first chamber 1. The second air intake 6 is designed to: when the battery pack is connected to the external battery pack, the second air inlet 6 will be in butt joint with the air flow outlet of the external battery pack. So set up, when the fan that is located the inside of cabinet 20 that charges works, outside air will get into the inside of battery package from the air inlet of battery package, for the air outlet of battery package after the heat dissipation of battery package, second air intake 6 gets into the inside of first cavity 1 to finally to the air outlet outflow of cabinet 20 that charges.
Therefore, in the charging cabinet 20 of the present embodiment, the air inlet 6 communicating with the first chamber 1 is provided on the battery pack mounting seat, and the air inlet 6 is abutted to the air flow outlet of the external battery pack, so that the fan can radiate heat not only for the first electrical component contained in the first chamber 1, but also for the external battery pack connected thereto, thereby improving the heat radiation efficiency of the external battery pack.
In the present embodiment, the charging cabinet 20 is provided with 3 battery pack mounting seats in total, two first-type battery pack mounting seats 34 provided on the front portion 221, and one second-type battery pack mounting seat 36 provided on the right portion 224 of the charging housing 22, respectively. Wherein 2 first-type battery pack receptacles 34 are configured to charge either the first-type battery pack 201 or the second-type battery pack 203; the 1 second-type battery pack 36 mount is configured to charge the second-type battery pack 203; by the arrangement, the charging cabinet 20 can charge a plurality of battery packs with different capacities at the same time at night, so that the charging efficiency is improved, and a working team can conveniently carry the battery packs with enough electric quantity to go out to work in daytime.
Further, since the front 221 of the charging housing 22 is parallel to the extension plane of the power converter, that is, in each side of the charging housing 22, the front 221 is larger in size; the 2 first type battery pack mounts 34 are disposed on the front 221 of the housing 22 and the 1 second type battery pack mounts 36 are disposed on the right 224 of the housing 22 to better fit the structural dimensions of the charging housing 22 itself. In this way, the battery pack mounting seats satisfying the long-time work demands of the garden team can be arranged on both sides of the charging case 22, and the structure of the energy storage power source 100 is more compact.
Further, the power provided to the external battery pack by the charging cabinet 20 may also be understood as the power received by the charging cabinet 20 via the input interface is converted into the specific current and voltage form of the power through the power converter, and the battery pack mounting seat is disposed close to the first chamber 1, that is, the battery pack mounting seat is disposed close to the power converter, so that the circuit wiring between the electronic control unit of the charging cabinet 20 and the battery pack mounting seat is simplified.
In this embodiment, the input interface module 28 and the second type battery pack mount 36 are both disposed on the right portion 224 of the charging housing 22; the arrangement meets the operation habit of the right hand of the user, and the charging interface module 28 and the second type battery pack mounting seat 36 are arranged on the same side, so that a part of operation space can be shared, and the space occupied by the energy storage power supply 100 in use is saved.
Further, the air outlet 4 is provided on the left portion 223 of the charging housing 22 instead of the right portion 224, so that adverse effects of the hot air flowing out from the first chamber 1 on the second-type battery pack 203 mounted on the second-type battery pack mount 36 can be effectively avoided.
To facilitate a user's visual understanding of the charge status of the external battery packs connected to the respective battery pack mounting bases and whether a malfunction has occurred, an indicator light 42 is provided near each battery pack mounting base. The indicator light 42 indicates different states of charge by color and flashing frequency. The indication of the charging state by the color and the blinking frequency of the indicator light is a common technique in the charger field, and will not be described here too much.
In order to match the high power requirement of the commercial garden tools, the direct current power supply for supplying electric energy to the commercial garden tools, namely the capacity and the weight of the battery pack are large. As mentioned above, the weight of the first type of battery pack 201 may be up to 7.9KG and the weight of the second type of battery pack 203 may be up to 2.8KG, in order to avoid that after mounting the first type of battery pack 201 or the second type of battery pack 203 to the charging cabinet 20, a tilting of the charging cabinet 20, in particular in the width direction of the charging cabinet 20, is caused, the charging cabinet 20 of the present embodiment is arranged such that:
In the present embodiment, the front portion 221, the rear portion 222, and the partition 220 are parallel to each other; and, the distance between the diaphragm 220 and the rear portion 222 is smaller than the distance between the diaphragm 220 and the front portion 221. Therefore, when the charging housing 22 is made of the same metal material, the center of gravity of the charging housing 22 itself is disposed closer to the rear portion 222.
Further, most of the electronic control units are disposed on the partition 220 and supported by the partition 220. Therefore, in a state in which the charging cabinet 20 is not connected to an external battery pack, the center of gravity of the charging cabinet 20 itself is disposed closer to the rear portion 222, that is, the center of gravity of the charging cabinet 20 itself is disposed farther from the first-type battery pack mount 34.
In this embodiment the weight of the charging cabinet 20 is at least 50KG in the state in which no external battery pack is connected to the charging cabinet 20. The plane in which the front 221 is defined as a first plane M and the plane in which the rear 222 is defined as a second plane N.
When the first-type pack mount 34 is connected to the external pack, the center of gravity of the whole formed by the charging cabinet 20 and the external pack together will move toward the front 221 in the width direction Y; but because of the self-weight of the charging cabinet 20, its own center of gravity is disposed closer to the rear 222; therefore, even if the external battery pack is connected, the center of gravity of the whole of the charging cabinet 20 and the external battery pack falls in the space defined by the first plane M and the second plane N, and the charging cabinet 20 and the external battery pack do not fall.
Because the weight of the first-type battery pack 201 is greater than the weight of the second-type battery pack 203, the probability of the charging cabinet 20 tipping over resulting from the mounting thereof to the charging cabinet 20 is correspondingly greater than the probability of the charging cabinet 20 tipping over resulting from the mounting of the second-type battery pack 203 to the charging cabinet 20. Therefore, next, the example of mounting the different number of the first-type battery packs 201 to the charging cabinet 20 will be described, roughly illustrating the influence of the external battery packs on the center of gravity of the charging cabinet 20.
As shown in fig. 23, in a state in which the charging cabinet 20 is not connected to an external battery pack, the center of gravity of the charging cabinet 20 falls at point a in the width direction Y of the charging cabinet 20. In a state where only one of the 2 first-type battery pack mounting seats 34 is connected with the first-type battery pack 201, the center of gravity of the whole formed by the charging cabinet 20 and the first-type battery pack 201 in the width direction Y falls at the point B; in a state where the first-type battery pack 201 is connected to each of the 2 first-type battery pack mounting bases 34, the center of gravity of the whole formed by the charging cabinet 20 and the first-type battery pack 201 falls at point C in the width direction Y of the charging cabinet 20. Points A, B and C all fall in the space defined by the first plane M and the second plane N.
In the present embodiment, the second-type battery pack mounting seat 36 is provided centrally on the right portion of the case 22 in the width direction Y of the charging cabinet 20. Therefore, the second-type battery pack mounting base 36 is connected to the external battery pack or not, or the weight of the external battery pack mounted to the second-type battery pack mounting base 36 does not cause the toppling of the charging cabinet 20 in the width direction. Therefore, only the influence of the first-type battery pack mount 34 provided on the front 221 on the center of gravity of the entire charging cabinet 20 when the external battery pack is connected will be discussed herein.
As shown in fig. 2, the top 225 of the charging cabinet 20 is also provided with a carrying handle 21. The number of handles is 2, and are pivotally provided on the charging housing 22 in the horizontal direction X, respectively. When the charging cabinet 20 is in the carrying state, the handle 21 is pivoted to be perpendicular to the top 225 of the charging shell 22, so that the charging cabinet is convenient to grasp; when the charging cabinet 20 is in normal use, the handle 21 is pivoted into a recess provided in the top 225 so as not to protrude beyond the top surface of the charging housing 22.
Further, the top 225 of the charging cabinet 20 is also provided with a display screen 44 for displaying charging information of the external battery pack and the battery cabinet 10. Specifically, the display 44 displays the state of charge of each battery pack currently connected to the battery pack mount in digital form, for example, the current charge information may be displayed in percentage form. As shown in fig. 2, an operation member is also provided on the display screen 44. The operation members include a first operation key 441 and a second operation key 442. The first operation key 441 is a start key, and when the start key 441 is pressed, the energy storage power supply 100 enters a waiting working state from a rest state; the second operation key 442 is a quick charge mode selection key. When the operation key 442 is pressed, the stored energy power source 100 enters the quick charge mode.
The stored energy power supply 100 is mounted on a carriage during normal operation, and may include garden-type tools such as smart mowers, hand-propelled mowers, and the like. In order to prevent the garden-type tool from colliding with the first-type battery pack 201 or the second-type battery pack 203 mounted to the charging cabinet 20, the charging cabinet 20 further includes a guardrail provided at the periphery of the mount base. The guardrail and the battery pack mounting seat leave a certain space so as to facilitate the mounting and dismounting of the external battery pack.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 24, in the present embodiment, the rail includes a first rail 461 provided on the front portion 221 and a second rail 462 provided on the right portion of the charging housing 22. The first guard rail 461 is disposed around the outer sides of the 2 first battery pack mounting bases 34, and the second guard rail 462 is disposed around the outer sides of the second battery pack mounting bases 36.
Further, guardrails are often made of metallic materials with high structural strength.
Further, in order to achieve a good collision preventing effect, as shown in fig. 24, in the height direction Z of the charging cabinet 20, the guard rail is configured to cover at least the entire mounting portion of the battery pack mounting seat.
Also, in order to prevent the garden-type tool from colliding with the battery case 10, causing damage to the battery case 10, the second battery case 15 is made of a metallic material having high structural strength.
Preferably, the second battery case 15 is made of high-strength steel.
As described above, in the energy storage power supply 100, the requirements of the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 are different. The method comprises the following steps: in the charging cabinet 20, the first electrical component has higher requirements on heat dissipation and protection level; the second electrical component has a high protection rating. And the battery cabinet 10 has a high protection level. If the two devices are designed into an integrated structure, the whole structure becomes very complex on the premise of meeting different requirements, and the manufacturing cost is correspondingly increased; also, the total weight of the stored energy power source 100 with the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 will be not less than 100KG, which makes it quite laborious for the staff to handle and move the stored energy power source 100.
For this reason, in the present embodiment, the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 are constructed in a split structure, and both are connected through the first input/output interface 16 and the second input/output interface 18 to achieve transmission of electricity; therefore, each device can make a matched design under the condition of fully considering the self requirements, and the structure is simplified; meanwhile, the carrying burden of a working team is reduced.
More importantly, by providing the battery cabinet 10 separately from the charging cabinet 20, the charging cabinet 20 will no longer be limited to being connected to only a single battery cabinet 10. When the electric quantity of the battery cabinet 10 connected with the charging cabinet 20 is insufficient, the charging cabinet 20 is optionally connected with another battery cabinet 10; thus, the battery capacity of the energy storage power supply 100 is expanded, and the garden tool can be supported to work for a longer time.
Further, the charging cabinet 20 is provided separately from the battery cabinets 10, and the charging cabinet 20 is also configured to be connectable with at least 2 battery cabinets 10. At this time, the user only needs to connect a certain number of battery cabinets 10 with the charging cabinets 20 in advance, so that other transactions can be processed, because the electric control unit itself can control the operation of the energy storage power supply 100 according to the set charging logic, including controlling the power supply of each battery cabinet 10 to the charging cabinet 20, or controlling the power supply of the charging cabinet 20 to each battery cabinet 10. In the case that the charging cabinet 20 is connected with only one battery cabinet 10 at a time, the user needs to pay attention to the state of the energy storage power supply 100 all the time, and when the battery cabinet 10 is found to have insufficient electric quantity, the user needs to manually replace another battery cabinet 10 to charge the charging cabinet 20; or when the battery cabinets 10 are charged by the charging cabinet 20, it is necessary to manually replace one battery cabinet 10 when the battery cabinet 10 is found to be full. Therefore, the charging cabinet 20 is configured to be connected with at least 1 battery cabinet 10, so that a user does not need to squat at any time to replace the battery cabinets 10 beside the energy storage power supply 100, and in terms of user operation, the user only needs to connect each battery cabinet 10 with the charging cabinet 20 in the early stage, and other matters can be completely processed in the later stage, so that the operation is more concise and efficient.
In particular, fig. 25 to 27 respectively illustrate 3 different designs of the charging cabinet 20 to which 2 battery cabinets 10 are connected.
Referring to fig. 25, in design one, each battery cabinet 10 is provided with a first input/output interface 16; the charging cabinet 20 is correspondingly provided with 2 second input/output interfaces for respectively connecting with the first input/output interfaces 16. That is, a connection of the charging cabinet 20 to a plurality of battery cabinets 10 is realized by providing a plurality of second input/output interfaces for connection with the first input/output interfaces 16 of the battery cabinets 10, respectively, on the charging cabinet 20.
Referring to fig. 26, in design two, each battery cabinet 10 is provided with a first input/output interface 16; the charging cabinet 20 is provided with a second input/output interface, and the energy storage power supply 100 further includes a battery cabinet management module 50 for connecting 2 battery cabinets 10 to the charging cabinet 20. The battery cabinet management module 50 sets 2 battery cabinet side interfaces and one charging cabinet side interface in accordance with the number of the battery cabinets 10. Wherein 2 battery cabinet side interfaces are for connecting 16 with a first input/output interface of the battery cabinet 10, respectively, and 1 charging cabinet side interface is for connecting with a second input/output interface of the charging cabinet 20. That is, the plurality of battery cabinets 10 are designed to be connected to one charging cabinet 20 by introducing one battery cabinet management module 50. The battery cabinet management module 50 provides a plurality of battery cabinet side interfaces corresponding to the number of battery cabinets 10.
Referring to fig. 27, in design three, each battery cabinet 10 is provided with a female interface 161 and a male interface 162, and the charging cabinet 20 is provided with a second input/output interface; wherein the male interface 162 is used for connection with the charging cabinet 20 or the battery cabinet 10, and the female interface 161 is used only for connection with the battery cabinet 10. Specifically, as shown in fig. 27, the male interface 162 of the battery cabinet 10 located below is connected to the female interface 161 of the battery cabinet 10 located above, and the male interface 162 of the battery cabinet 10 located above is connected to the second input/output interface of the charging cabinet 20, so that connection of 2 battery cabinets 10 to the charging cabinet 20 can be achieved. That is, in design three, by providing the battery cabinet 10 to include a male interface 162 and a female interface 161, a plurality of battery cabinets 10 may be connected to each other to form a "large battery cabinet" before being connected to the charging cabinet 20, and then the "large battery cabinet" is connected to the charging cabinet 20.
It should be noted that, when the charging cabinet 20 is connected to at least one battery cabinet 10 and charges an external charging member, it does not mean that each battery cabinet 10 participates in the process of supplying electric power to the charging cabinet 20. Whether and in what order the battery cabinets 10 participate is controlled in fact by the aforementioned battery cabinet management module 50 or by the electronic control unit of the charging cabinet 20.
When at least one battery cabinet 10 is connected to the charging cabinet 20, the charging cabinet 20 may still receive external power through the third input interface 30 or the fourth input interface 32 and charge the at least one battery cabinet 10 through the second input/output interface 18.
Further, by providing the charging cabinet 20 separately from the battery cabinet 10, the charging cabinet 20 can be used alone as a charger. At this time, external electric power is transmitted to the charging cabinet 20 through the third input interface 30 or the fourth input interface 32 provided on the charging housing 22, and is output to the external charging part through the output interface after being converted by the electronic control unit, whereby charging of the external charging part by the charging cabinet 20 is achieved.
As shown in fig. 28, a typical operating scenario of the stored energy power supply 100 may be described as: during daytime, the work team goes out to work, the energy storage power supply 100 is carried to the first garden by the vehicle along with various garden-like tools and the battery pack 200, wherein the garden-like tools mainly comprise: a hand propelled mower 300, a blower 400, a mower 500, a pruner 600, an intelligent mower 700, etc. When the first job is completed, the stored energy power supply 100 is then diverted to the second garden, and so on, until all jobs are completed. When the battery pack 200 is exhausted, the battery pack 200 is mounted to the energy storage power source 100, and the energy storage power source 100 is used to charge the battery pack. At night, the work team returns to the garden company or residence and charges the energy storage power supply 100 with the utility power.
Considering the situation that the vehicle itself may be parked at any convenient place, whether it is outdoors, the energy storage power source 100 charges the external battery pack or charges the battery cabinet 10 through the external power source, and the moving load caused by the bulkiness of the energy storage power source 100, the energy storage power source 100 is usually placed on the cabin.
In order to ensure the stability of the energy storage power supply 100 placed in the compartment, avoid collisions due to conditions such as vehicle braking, and reduce vibrations transmitted to the energy storage power supply 100 by the vehicle during transportation, in this embodiment, the energy storage power supply 100 is detachably mounted to the compartment through threads.
Specifically, referring to fig. 9, a plurality of fixing plates 160 are disposed at the bottom of the second battery case 15, and the fixing plates 160 are provided with through holes; correspondingly, the carriage is provided with a threaded hole. When the battery cabinet 10 is mounted to the vehicle cabin, the through holes on the fixing plate 160 are aligned with the screw holes on the vehicle cabin first; a threaded locking member is threaded through the through hole in the fixing plate 160 into the threaded hole in the compartment, thereby achieving a detachable connection of the battery cabinet 10 to the compartment.
Of course, in other embodiments, the detachable connection between the battery cabinet 10 and the compartment is not limited to the threaded connection, such as plugging, buckling, splicing, etc., and is not specifically limited herein according to the actual situation.
Similarly, as shown in fig. 11, the bottom 226 of the charging housing 22 is provided with a plurality of fixing plates 227, and the fixing plates 227 are provided with through holes. When the charging cabinet 20 is mounted to the vehicle cabin, the through holes on the fixing plate 227 are aligned with the screw holes on the vehicle cabin first; and a threaded locking member is screwed into the threaded hole in the carriage through the through hole in the fixing plate 227, thereby realizing the detachable connection of the charging cabinet 20 and the carriage.
Of course, in other embodiments, the detachable connection between the charging cabinet 20 and the carriage is not limited to the threaded connection, such as plugging, buckling, splicing, etc., and is not specifically limited herein according to the actual situation.
When the accommodation space of the vehicle compartment is limited, particularly, the accommodation space in the up-down direction is limited, the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 may be placed in the vehicle compartment, respectively, for performing the related work, as shown in fig. 4. At this time, the charging housing 22 and the second battery housing 15 are detachably connected to the vehicle compartment through holes provided in the fixing plate, respectively.
Therefore, by separately providing the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10, the overall height of the energy storage power supply 100 is reduced, and the height dimension of the compartment for accommodating the energy storage power supply 100 is also more contained.
In the present embodiment, the first input/output interface 16 is connected to the battery pack 14 through the cable 17, and the cable 17 can be bent and has a certain length, so that the distance between the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 can be changed, and the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 can be more flexibly arranged on the vehicle cabin.
When the accommodation space of the compartment is sufficient, particularly, the accommodation space in the up-down direction is sufficient, the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 are stackable and combined into a single structure in the up-down direction through the connection assembly, as shown in fig. 1.
Specifically, the connection assembly includes a screw hole 191 provided at the top of the second battery case 15, a screw locking member, and a through hole provided on the fixing plate 227 of the charging cabinet 20. The screw locking member is screwed into the screw hole 191 of the top of the second battery case 15 through the through hole, thereby achieving the detachable connection of the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20.
Of course, a fixing plate may be disposed at the upper edge of the second battery case 15, and the fixing plate is provided with a threaded hole, and the threaded locking member is screwed into the threaded hole after passing through the through hole disposed on the charging case 22, thereby realizing the detachable connection of the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10.
In other embodiments, the connection assembly may include a first connection element provided on one of the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10, and a second connection element movably provided on the other of the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10; when the connecting position is reached, the first connecting element and the second connecting element are mutually clamped.
Of course, in other embodiments, the detachable connection between the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 is not limited to the threaded connection, such as plugging, splicing, etc., and is not specifically limited herein according to the actual situation.
In this embodiment, the length dimension of the battery cabinet 10 is approximately equal to the length dimension of the charging cabinet 20, and the width dimension of the battery cabinet 10 is approximately equal to the width dimension of the charging cabinet 20, specifically: the ratio of the length dimension of the battery cabinet 10 to the length dimension of the charging cabinet 20 is between 0.9 and 1.1; the ratio of the width dimension of the battery cabinet 10 to the width dimension of the charging cabinet 20 is between 0.9 and 1.2; thus, when the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 are stacked in the up-down direction, each side of the battery cabinet 10 is approximately flush with the corresponding side of the charging cabinet 20, and the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 together form an approximately rectangular parallelepiped configuration, as shown in fig. 1.
In other embodiments, the capacity of the cell may be further increased to 7kw, h, or even more; then, it is conceivable that the size of the battery cells will correspondingly increase, and further, the size of the battery cabinet 10 will also increase. In order to ensure the consistency or coordination of the whole of the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 when they are stacked in the up-down direction, the length of the battery cabinet 10 is kept substantially consistent with the length of the charging cabinet 20, and the width of the battery cabinet 10 is further increased. At this time, the ratio of the width of the battery cabinet 10 to the width of the charging cabinet 20 is between 0.9 and 2.
Therefore, the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 are configured in a vertically stacked manner, so that the occupied area of the energy storage power supply 100 is smaller and more compact.
In the present embodiment, when the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 are placed in a stacked manner, the battery cabinet 10 is generally placed below. This is because: the battery compartment 10 has a greater weight and a smaller volume than the charging compartment 20, i.e., the battery compartment 10 has a greater density; the configuration of the charging cabinet 20 is supported by the battery cabinet 10, so that the stability of the whole of the energy storage power supply 100 is higher.
Further, the opening 154 is provided at the top of the battery case 12, and the second input/output interface 18 is provided at the right portion 224 of the charging case 22 on the same side as the opening 154, so that when the first input/output interface 16 is connected with the second input/output interface 18, the first input/output interface 16 and the cable 17 are relatively concentrated at the peripheral area of the second input/output interface 18, whereby the first input/output interface 16, the cable 17 and the second input/output interface 18 can be shielded by the gate member 229 provided on the charging case 22, forming the structure as shown in fig. 1; in this way, the whole energy storage power supply 100 is more concise, and dust, rainwater and the like are prevented from entering the input interface, so that the service life of the device is prevented from being influenced.
In the present embodiment, when the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 are stacked in the up-down direction, the battery cabinet 10 is located below and the charging cabinet 20 is located above; while the second input/output interface 18 is provided on the charging cabinet 20, the first input/output interface 16 is provided on the battery cabinet 10 through the cable 17, and the height of the charging cabinet 20 is greater than the height of the battery cabinet 10. In this way, when the first input/output interface 16 is connected to the second input/output interface 18, the operation space for the user is larger, and the operation is more convenient.
In the present embodiment, the extending direction of the rails of the battery pack mounting seat and the up-down stacking direction of the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 are parallel; in this way, in the process of using the energy storage power supply 100, the operation space considered for the insertion and extraction of the external battery pack coincides with the operation space in which the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 are placed in a stacked manner one above the other, and thus the use space of the energy storage power supply 100 is smaller and the space utilization rate of the compartment is higher.
Before using the stored energy power source 100, the user must first make a mechanical and electrical connection between the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20.
Specifically, the user needs to stack the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 in the up-down direction, so that the through hole provided on the charging cabinet 20 is aligned with the threaded hole on the battery cabinet 10; then, the threaded locking piece is screwed into the threaded hole on the battery cabinet 10 through the through hole, so that the mechanical connection between the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 is realized; finally, the first input/output interface 16 is plugged into the second input/output interface 18, so that an electrical connection between the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 is achieved.
In order to ensure neutrality of the through hole and the threaded hole and rapidity of stacking up and down, a first matching part can be designed on the top surface of the battery cabinet 10, and a second matching part can be designed on the bottom surface of the charging cabinet 20; when stacking up and down, the first matching part and the second matching part are matched with each other, namely, the alignment of the through hole and the threaded hole is realized.
In this embodiment, the weight of both the battery cabinet 10 and the charging cabinet 20 is greater than 50KG, and the electric energy transmitted between them has a relatively high voltage and/or current; if the mechanical connection and the electrical connection are realized by one step, it is difficult to consider both the safety and the connection strength. Therefore, the energy storage power supply provided by the application has the advantages that at least two actions are required by a user to realize the mechanical connection and the electrical connection of the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10, so that the connection strength between the charging cabinet 20 and the battery cabinet 10 can be ensured while the safety is improved.
