 複数の電池セルが電池パック内に組み込まれ、複数の電池セルと電池パックケースにより電池パックが構成される。複数の電池パックが蓄電池盤に組み込まれて、1台の電力貯蔵装置が構成される。蓄電池盤は貯蔵電力容量や出力電圧等に応じて、電池室やコンテナなどに任意の台数の電力貯蔵装置が配置される。電池セルは充放電時に熱が発生するため、複数の電池パックが組み込まれる蓄電池盤に冷却風を流し、電池セルを冷却する必要がある。 A plurality of battery cells are incorporated in the battery pack, and the battery pack is composed of a plurality of battery cells and a battery pack case. A plurality of battery packs are incorporated in the storage battery panel to constitute one power storage device. In the storage battery panel, an arbitrary number of power storage devices are arranged in a battery room or a container according to the storage power capacity, the output voltage, or the like. Since heat is generated in the battery cell during charging and discharging, it is necessary to cool the battery cell by flowing cooling air through a storage battery board in which a plurality of battery packs are incorporated.

 電池セルの冷却方式としては、特許文献1に記載されるように、電池ユニット(本発明の電池セルに相当)を収容するそれぞれの電池パックに冷却ファンを取り付けるようにしたタイプと、筐体内に冷却風を生成する冷却ファンを筐体に取り付け、冷却風を電池パック内に導入するようにしたタイプとがある。それぞれの電池パックに冷却ファンを設けると、電池パックのサイズが大型化されるため、省スペース化が困難になる。さらに、冷却ファンは消耗部品であるため、保守点検点数が増えることになり、大容量設備では保守点検は容易ではない。 As described in Patent Document 1, a cooling method for battery cells includes a type in which a cooling fan is attached to each battery pack that houses a battery unit (corresponding to the battery cell of the present invention), and a housing. There is a type in which a cooling fan that generates cooling air is attached to a housing and cooling air is introduced into a battery pack. If each battery pack is provided with a cooling fan, the size of the battery pack is increased, so that space saving becomes difficult. Furthermore, since the cooling fan is a consumable part, the number of maintenance inspections increases, and maintenance inspection is not easy with a large-capacity facility.
 一方、筐体に冷却ファンを設けて、筐体の正面壁に設けられた正面吸気口から背面側に向かう冷却風を筐体内に生成し、電池パックの前面に設けられたケース流入口内に冷却風を導入するようにすると、正面吸気口から流入した冷却風は、電池パック内に導入されて電池セルを冷却する冷却風と、電池パックの外側をすり抜けて正面壁の内面に沿って流れた後に、外部に排出される迂回流とに分岐される。このため、電池パック内に導入される割合が大幅に減少し、正面吸気口から流入した冷却風を全て電池パック内に導入することができない。 On the other hand, a cooling fan is provided in the housing to generate cooling air from the front intake port provided on the front wall of the housing toward the back side in the housing and cool it in the case inlet provided on the front surface of the battery pack. When the wind is introduced, the cooling air flowing in from the front intake port is introduced into the battery pack to cool the battery cells, and flows along the inner surface of the front wall through the outside of the battery pack. Later, it is branched into a detour flow discharged to the outside. For this reason, the ratio introduced into the battery pack is greatly reduced, and it is not possible to introduce all the cooling air flowing in from the front intake port into the battery pack.
 つまり、筐体内に冷却風を生成する冷却ファンを筐体に取り付けるようにしたタイプの蓄電池盤においては、本来冷やすべき電池セルが冷却風の通気抵抗となるため、電池パック内に導入される冷却風の割合が減少し、電池パックの外側をすり抜ける迂回流の割合が多くなり、電力貯蔵装置を構成する蓄電池盤の冷却性能を向上させることができないという問題点がある。 In other words, in a storage battery panel of a type in which a cooling fan that generates cooling air in the housing is attached to the housing, the battery cells that should be cooled become airflow resistance of the cooling air, so cooling introduced into the battery pack There is a problem that the rate of wind decreases, the rate of bypass flow that passes through the outside of the battery pack increases, and the cooling performance of the storage battery panel that constitutes the power storage device cannot be improved.
 本発明の目的は、電力貯蔵装置の冷却性能を向上することにある。 An object of the present invention is to improve the cooling performance of the power storage device.

 正面壁と電池パックの間にカバーが設けられており、正面壁に設けられた吸気口から流入した外気つまり冷却風は、正面壁と電池パックとの間の隙間を迂回して流れることなく、電池パック内に導入される。これにより、電池パック内に収容された電池セルを効率的に冷却することが可能となり、電力貯蔵装置の冷却性能つまり放熱性能を向上させることができる。 A cover is provided between the front wall and the battery pack, and the outside air flowing from the air inlet provided on the front wall, that is, the cooling air, does not flow around the gap between the front wall and the battery pack, Installed in the battery pack. Thereby, it becomes possible to cool efficiently the battery cell accommodated in the battery pack, and it can improve the cooling performance, ie, heat dissipation performance, of the power storage device.

The detachable frame portion 53 is provided with two reinforcing pieces 56a and 56b extending in the horizontal direction, and the communication port 55 is partitioned into a plurality of communication ports 55a to 55c in the vertical direction by both the reinforcing pieces 56a and 56b. Yes. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, each of the communication ports 55a to 55c is divided into left and right by a reinforcing piece 56c extending in the vertical direction. The communication port 55a faces the inflow port 46a, the communication port 55b faces the inflow port 46b, and the communication port 55c faces the inflow port 46c.
 カバー51は電池パック20に対して着脱自在となっているので、電池パック20が交換された場合でも、カバー51を再利用して交換後の電池パック20に装着することができる。カバー51を正面板38に装着すると、カバー51の補強片56a~56cは、正面板38の補強片45a~45cに重なった状態となる。カバー51と正面板38とを、それぞれ補強片が設けられていないタイプとすると、吸気口52から電池パック20内に流入する外気の通気抵抗を小さくすることができる。補強片は本発明の本質ではないが、カバー51の強度を加味して追加しても良い。ただし、実運用上冷却に支障がでるようであれば、補強片を少なくすることや、なくすことで対応するバリエーションも考えられる。 Since the cover 51 is detachable from the battery pack 20, even when the battery pack 20 is replaced, the cover 51 can be reused and attached to the replaced battery pack 20. When the cover 51 is attached to the front plate 38, the reinforcing pieces 56a to 56c of the cover 51 are overlapped with the reinforcing pieces 45a to 45c of the front plate 38. If the cover 51 and the front plate 38 are of a type that is not provided with a reinforcing piece, the resistance of the outside air flowing into the battery pack 20 from the air inlet 52 can be reduced. The reinforcing piece is not the essence of the present invention, but may be added in consideration of the strength of the cover 51. However, if the cooling operation is hindered in actual operation, there can be a variation corresponding to the reduction or elimination of the reinforcing pieces.
 カバー51は導入口57が設けられた四辺形の導入枠部58を有し、導入枠部58の上下左右の寸法は、着脱枠部53よりも大きい。導入枠部58と着脱枠部53の間には、テーパ部59が設けられており、テーパ部59は導入枠部58から着脱枠部53に向けて内側に向けて傾斜している。カバー51は着脱枠部53,導入枠部58およびテーパ部59が一体に成形されている。カバー51の導入枠部58の左右方向の長さは、電池パックケース21の開口部にあわせて左右方向の長さよりも短くなっており、図4に示されるように、カバー51を電池パック20に装着すると、電池パックケース21の側板36,37の先端面は正面壁14に露出される。図2は電池パック20にカバー51が装着されていない状態を示しており、上下に隣り合う電池パック20のバスバー25,26を接続するための通電部材27が正面壁14に露出される。 The cover 51 has a quadrilateral introduction frame portion 58 provided with an introduction port 57, and the size of the introduction frame portion 58 in the vertical and horizontal directions is larger than that of the removable frame portion 53. A tapered portion 59 is provided between the introduction frame portion 58 and the detachable frame portion 53, and the tapered portion 59 is inclined inward from the introduction frame portion 58 toward the detachable frame portion 53. The cover 51 is integrally formed with a detachable frame portion 53, an introduction frame portion 58 and a taper portion 59. The length in the left-right direction of the introduction frame portion 58 of the cover 51 is shorter than the length in the left-right direction in accordance with the opening of the battery pack case 21, and the cover 51 is attached to the battery pack 20 as shown in FIG. When attached to the front wall 14, the front end surfaces of the side plates 36 and 37 of the battery pack case 21 are exposed. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the cover 51 is not attached to the battery pack 20, and the energization member 27 for connecting the bus bars 25, 26 of the battery packs 20 adjacent to each other vertically is exposed on the front wall 14.
 ゴムや軟質樹脂等からなる四辺形の弾性変形自在のパッキン60が導入枠部58に設けられている。パッキン60は、正面壁14に当接して導入口57の内部と外部との間をシールする。カバー51を電池パック20と正面壁14との間に配置すると、吸気口52から流入した冷却風は、電池パック20の外面への洩れを極力軽減し、カバー51により電池パックケース21内に案内される。 A quadrangular elastically deformable packing 60 made of rubber, soft resin or the like is provided on the introduction frame 58. The packing 60 abuts against the front wall 14 and seals between the inside and the outside of the introduction port 57. When the cover 51 is disposed between the battery pack 20 and the front wall 14, the cooling air flowing from the air inlet 52 reduces leakage to the outer surface of the battery pack 20 as much as possible, and is guided into the battery pack case 21 by the cover 51. Is done.
 図1に示されるように、それぞれの吸気口52は複数のスリット62により形成されている。最下段の電池パック20に対応した吸気口52を構成するスリット62の数つまりスリット密度は最も大きく、最上段の電池パック20に対応した吸気口52を構成するスリット密度は最も小さい。スリット密度は、最上段から最下段に向けて漸次大きくなっている。これにより、複数のスリット62により形成される吸気口52の開口面積は、最上段の吸気口52から最下段の吸気口52に向けて漸次大きくなっている。吸気口52の開口面積を大きくすると、外部から吸気口52を介して電池パックケース21内に流入する外気つまり冷却風の流入抵抗は小さくなる。 As shown in FIG. 1, each intake port 52 is formed by a plurality of slits 62. The number of slits 62 constituting the air inlet 52 corresponding to the lowermost battery pack 20, that is, the slit density is the largest, and the slit density constituting the air inlet 52 corresponding to the uppermost battery pack 20 is the smallest. The slit density gradually increases from the top to the bottom. As a result, the opening area of the intake port 52 formed by the plurality of slits 62 gradually increases from the uppermost intake port 52 toward the lowermost intake port 52. When the opening area of the intake port 52 is increased, the inflow resistance of outside air that flows into the battery pack case 21 through the intake port 52 from the outside, that is, the inflow resistance of cooling air, is decreased.
 一方、冷却ファン49は蓄電池盤11の上部に設けられているので、吸気口52から冷却ファン49まで電池パック20を介して流れる冷却風の流路長さは、下側の電池パック20を通過する冷却風の方が、上側の電池パック20を通過する冷却風よりも長くなる。冷却風の流路長さが長くなると、冷却風の通気抵抗は大きくなる。 On the other hand, since the cooling fan 49 is provided in the upper part of the storage battery board 11, the flow path length of the cooling air flowing through the battery pack 20 from the inlet 52 to the cooling fan 49 passes through the lower battery pack 20. The cooling air that is used is longer than the cooling air that passes through the upper battery pack 20. When the flow path length of the cooling air is increased, the ventilation resistance of the cooling air is increased.
 図1に示されるように、吸気口52の開口面積を最上段の吸気口52から最下段の吸気口52に向けて漸次大きくすると、通気抵抗が大きな下側の電池パック20内に吸気口52から流入する冷却風の流入抵抗が小さくなるので、電池パック20内を通過して冷却ファン49に向かう冷却風の流量を、全ての電池パック20についてほぼ均一にすることができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, when the opening area of the intake port 52 is gradually increased from the uppermost intake port 52 toward the lowermost intake port 52, the intake port 52 is inserted into the lower battery pack 20 having a large ventilation resistance. Therefore, the flow rate of the cooling air flowing through the battery pack 20 toward the cooling fan 49 can be made substantially uniform for all the battery packs 20.

電力貯蔵装置10における冷却風の流れを示す概略図であり、図10(B)は比較例である電力貯蔵装置10aにおける冷却風の流れを示す概略図である。
FIG. 7B shows a power storage device 10a as a comparative example, and FIG. 7B shows a portion similar to FIG. 7A showing the power storage device 10 of one embodiment. . FIG. 10A is a schematic diagram showing the flow of cooling air in the power storage device 10, and FIG. 10B is a schematic diagram showing the flow of cooling air in the power storage device 10a as a comparative example.
 正面壁14と電池パック20との間にカバー51が配置された電力貯蔵装置10においては、吸気口から蓄電池盤11内に流入した外気は、矢印63で示すように、全てカバー51により案内されて電池パック20内を流れる。それぞれの電池パック20内を通過した冷却風は、背面壁15側に設けられた排気通路50で合流し、合流した冷却風は矢印64で示すように、蓄電池盤11の上部に設けられた冷却ファン49を介して外部に排出される。 In the power storage device 10 in which the cover 51 is disposed between the front wall 14 and the battery pack 20, all the outside air flowing into the storage battery panel 11 from the intake port is guided by the cover 51 as indicated by an arrow 63.

The cooling air that has passed through each battery pack 20 is merged in the exhaust passage 50 provided on the back wall 15 side, and the merged cooling air is provided in the upper part of the storage battery panel 11 as indicated by an arrow 64. It is discharged to the outside through the fan 49.
 これに対し、比較例で示す電力貯蔵装置10aにおいては、吸気口から蓄電池盤11内に流入した外気は、矢印63で示すように電池パック20内を流れる冷却風と、矢印65で示すように正面壁14と電池パック20との間の隙間を上方に向けて流れる迂回風とに分岐される。このように分岐した迂回風65は電池パック20の冷却には寄与することなく、外部に排出される。 On the other hand, in the power storage device 10a shown in the comparative example, the outside air that has flowed into the storage battery panel 11 from the air intake port, as indicated by the arrow 63, and the cooling air flowing through the battery pack 20 as indicated by the arrow 65, It is branched into a detour wind that flows upward through the gap between the front wall 14 and the battery pack 20. The bypass air 65 branched in this way is discharged to the outside without contributing to cooling of the battery pack 20.
 したがって、図10(A)に示すように、吸気口から蓄電池盤11内に流入した外気をカバー51により全て電池パック20内に導入する場合と、図10(B)に示すように、吸気口から蓄電池盤11内に流入した外気が冷却風と迂回風とに分岐される場合とを比較すると、カバー51を蓄電池盤11内に配置することにより、電池セル22の冷却効果を高めることができる。なお、図10に示した冷却風63は、図9に示した冷却風通路44aの流れを示しており、他の冷却風通路44b,44cの流れは図10においては省略されている。 Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10 (A), when all the outside air that has flowed into the storage battery panel 11 from the intake port is introduced into the battery pack 20 by the cover 51, and as shown in FIG. 10 (B), the intake port When the outside air that has flowed into the storage battery board 11 is branched into cooling air and bypass air, the cooling effect of the battery cells 22 can be enhanced by arranging the cover 51 in the storage battery board 11. . The cooling air 63 shown in FIG. 10 shows the flow of the cooling air passage 44a shown in FIG. 9, and the flows of the other cooling air passages 44b and 44c are omitted in FIG.
 図11は、セル発熱量とセル温度との測定結果を、一実施の形態である電力貯蔵装置10と比較例である電力貯蔵装置10aとについて示す放熱特性線図である。図11において太線は本発明の一実施の形態である電力貯蔵装置10の放熱特性を示し、細線は比較例である電力貯蔵装置10aの放熱特性を示す。 FIG. 11 is a heat dissipation characteristic diagram showing the measurement results of the cell heat generation amount and the cell temperature for the power storage device 10 as an embodiment and the power storage device 10a as a comparative example. In FIG. 11, the thick line indicates the heat dissipation characteristic of the power storage device 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the thin line indicates the heat dissipation characteristic of the power storage device 10a as the comparative example.
 図11から明らかなように、電力貯蔵装置10における電池セルの発熱量と、電力貯蔵装置10aにおける電池セルの発熱量とが同一の場合でも、本発明の電力貯蔵装置10における電池セルの温度を比較例よりも低下させることができ、電力貯蔵装置10の冷却性能つまり放熱性能を向上することができる。また、セル発熱量に対するセル温度を比較例と同一に設定する場合には、冷却ファン49を小型化することができる。図11においては、セル温度は全ての電池セル22の外周面の温度の平均値を示す。 As apparent from FIG. 11, even when the heat generation amount of the battery cell in the power storage device 10 and the heat generation amount of the battery cell in the power storage device 10a are the same, the temperature of the battery cell in the power storage device 10 of the present invention is set. The cooling performance of the power storage device 10, that is, the heat dissipation performance can be improved. Further, when the cell temperature with respect to the cell heat generation amount is set to be the same as that in the comparative example, the cooling fan 49 can be reduced in size. In FIG. 11, the cell temperature indicates an average value of the temperatures of the outer peripheral surfaces of all the battery cells 22.
 カバー51による電池パック20内への導風機能に加えて、上述のように、吸気口52の開口面積を最上段の吸気口52から最下段の吸気口52に向けて漸次大きくして、電池パック20内を通過して冷却ファン49に向かう冷却風の流量を、全ての電池パック20についてほぼ均一にすると、電池パック20に収容された全ての電池セル22を均一的に冷却することができる。 In addition to the function of introducing air into the battery pack 20 by the cover 51, as described above, the opening area of the intake port 52 is gradually increased from the uppermost intake port 52 toward the lowermost intake port 52 to When the flow rate of the cooling air that passes through the pack 20 toward the cooling fan 49 is made substantially uniform for all the battery packs 20, all the battery cells 22 accommodated in the battery pack 20 can be uniformly cooled. .
