As shown in
During operation of the energy storage system, the first heating member 4 will dissipate heat. If the temperature of the first heating member 4 is excessively high, the energy storage system cannot operate normally. Mounting the first heating member 4 on the air outlet side of the fan 2 can increase the air flow rate around the first heating member 4, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4 and improving the heat dissipation effect in the energy storage system. Along the thickness direction Z of the mounting member 3, the mounting member 3 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other, and the first heating member 4 is mounted on the first side of the mounting member 3. The mounting member 3 is arranged on the air outlet side of the fan 2 to divide airflow blown out by the fan 2 into two parts. One part is blown to the first side of the mounting member 3 where the first heating member 4 is provided, and the other part is blown to the second side of the mounting member 3 where no first heating member 4 is provided. Based on limitations of the size of the energy storage system and the mounting position of the fan 2, a flow rate of the in airflow blown to the first side of the mounting member 3 is less than a flow rate of the airflow blown to the second side of the mounting member 3. Therefore, the mounting member 3 is provided with a vent 31, so that two sides of the mounting member 3 in the thickness direction Z are connected to each other, and the air guiding member 32 can transfer the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 to the first side, thereby increasing the flow rate of the airflow on the first side of the mounting member 3 and further improving the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4.
As shown in
The circuit board 41 is mounted on the mounting member 3, and the heating element 42 is mounted on a side of the circuit board 41 away from the mounting member 3.
The heating element 42 may be an electronic element such as a relay. During the operation of the energy storage system, the heating element 42 will dissipate heat, causing the temperature at a position where the heating element 42 is provided on the circuit board 41 to rise. The vent 31 is provided at the position corresponding to the heating element 42, so that the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 can be blown towards the heating element 42 through the vent 31, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect at the position where the heating element 42 is provided on the circuit board 41.
As shown in
The support member 5 provides a gap between the circuit board 41 and the mounting member 3, and the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 can be blown into the gap between the circuit board 41 and the mounting member 3 through the vent 31.
The support member 5 is arranged between the circuit board 41 and the mounting member 3, which reduces the possibility of blocking the vent 31 by the circuit board 41 and enables the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 to be blown to the circuit board 41 through the vent 31 and to flow in the gap between the circuit board 41 and the mounting member 3, thereby increasing the air flow rate on a side of the circuit board 41 facing the mounting member 3, to improve the heat dissipation effect on the circuit board 41.
In some embodiments, the support member 5 may have a cylindrical structure, and the support member 5 has a smaller diameter, which can reduce the blocking of the airflow between the circuit board 41 and the mounting member 3 while supporting the circuit board 41, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the circuit board 41.
As shown in
The second heating member 6 is mounted on the inner wall of the cavity 11 and is located on the air outlet side of the fan 2. The airflow blown out by the fan 2 can increase an air flow rate around the second heating member 6.
Both the first heating member 4 and the second heating member 6 are located on the air outlet side of the fan 2, and along the thickness direction Z of the mounting member 3, the second heating member 6 is located on the side of the mounting member 3 away from the first heating member 4, so that the fan 2 can dissipate heat for the first heating member 4 and the second heating member 6 at the same time, which improves space utilization in the cavity 11 and is conducive to miniaturization of the energy storage system.
As shown in
The first heating member 4 is arranged on one side of the mounting member 3, and a plurality of vents 31 are arranged at intervals in the width direction X of the mounting member 3, which increases the range of flowing of the airflow from the second side of the mounting member 3 to the first heating member 4 and can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the first heating member 4. Along the air outlet direction of the fan 2, the vents 31 and the second heating member 6 are sequentially arranged, and the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 first passes through the vent 31 and is then blown to the second heating member 6, which can reduce the temperature of the airflow blown through the vent 31 to the first heating member 4 and can improve the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4.
As shown in
The plurality of vents 31 are arranged along the length direction Y of the mounting member 3 and are located in an air outlet range of the fan 2, which increases the range of flowing of the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 to the first heating member 4 along the length direction Y of the mounting member 3 and can improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the first heating member 4. The air guiding member 32 is provided on a side wall of the vent 31 and bends towards a direction close to the second heating member 6. Along the direction perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the fan 2, the vents 31 and the second heating member 6 are arranged side by side, which can reduce the possibility of interference between the air guiding member 32 and the second heating member 6.
In some embodiments, within the air outlet range of the fan 2, the mounting member 3 may also be provided with the vent 31 at another position, as long as the air guiding member 32 provided on the side wall of the vent 31 does not interfere with the second heating member 6, which can further improve the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4.
As shown in
The first heating member 4 is mounted on the first side of the mounting member 3, and the air guiding member 32 is inclined in the direction away from the first heating member 4, so that the air guiding member 32 protrudes from the second side of the mounting member 3 and can guide the airflow from the second side of the mounting member 3 to the first side of the mounting member 3, which increases the air flow rate on the first side of the mounting member 3, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4. If the angle between the air guiding member 32 and the mounting member 3 is larger, a length of the air guiding member 32 protruding from the second side of the mounting member 3 may be reduced, which reduces the flow rate of the airflow flowing from the second side of the mounting member 3 along the air guiding member 32 into the first side of the mounting member 3. As a result, the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4 is reduced. If the angle between the air guiding member 32 and the mounting member 3 is smaller, the air guiding member 32 may affect the flow rate of the airflow in contact with the air guiding member 32 on the second side of the mounting member 3, thereby reducing a flow rate of the airflow flowing into the first side of the mounting member 3. As a result, the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4 is reduced. Therefore, the angle α between the air guiding member 32 and the air outlet direction of the fan 2 may be 132°, 135°, 138°, or the like, which is 135° as an example, which can cause a sufficient flow of airflow to flow along the air guiding member 32 from the second side of the mounting member 3 to the first side of the mounting member 3 and can reduce the influence on an airflow flow rate, to improve the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4.
As shown in
The extension portion 7 is arranged at an end portion of the air guiding member 32, which can extend the size of the air guiding member 32 protruding from the second side of the mounting member 3, so that part of the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 can contact the extension portion 7 and flow along the extension portion 7 to the air guiding member 32 and then to the first side of the mounting member 3, so as to increase the air flow rate between the first heating member 4 and the mounting member 3, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on the first heating member 4.
As shown in
The extension portion 7 is configured to extend the size of the air guiding member 32 protruding from the second side of the mounting member 3, so that the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 can flow along the extension portion 7 to the air guiding member 32. The angle θ between the straight line where the extension portion 7 is located and the mounting member 3 may be 0°, 45°, 90°, or the like, which is 45° as an example. If the angle θ between the straight line where the extension portion 7 is located and the mounting member 3 is less than 0°, a contact area between the air guiding member 32 and the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 may be reduced, and the flow rate of the airflow flowing from the vent 31 into the first side of the mounting member 3 may be reduced. If the angle θ between the straight line where the extension portion 7 and the mounting member 3 is greater than 90°, the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 cannot flow along the extension portion 7 to the air guiding member 32, and may also affect the flow rate of the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3.
In some embodiments, a cross section of the extension portion 7 along the direction perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the fan 2 is in a shape of an arc.
The extension portion 7 is configured to guide the airflow on the second side of the mounting member 3 to the air guiding member 32. The cross section of the extension portion 7 may alternatively be in a shape of a rectangle, V, or the like. When the angle between the extension portion 7 and the air outlet direction of the fan 2 is the same, a contact area between the extension portion 7 and the second side of the mounting member 3 can be increased, thereby increasing the flow rate of the airflow flowing from the second side of the mounting member 3 into the first side of the mounting member 3.
As shown in
The mounting member 3 is located on the air outlet side of the fan 2, and along the thickness direction Z of the mounting member 3, the mounting member 3 can divide the airflow blown by the fan 2 into two parts, to form the first heat dissipation channel 8 and the second heat dissipation channel 9. The mounting member 3 is provided with the vent 31 and the air guiding member 32 to enable the first heat dissipation channel 8 to be in communication with the second heat dissipation channel 9 and to enable the airflow in the second heat dissipation channel 9 to flow into the first heat dissipation channel 8, which can increase the flow rate of the airflow in the first heat dissipation channel 8 and improve the heat dissipation capability of the first heat dissipation channel 8.
The first heating member 4 and the second heating member 6 in the energy storage system are respectively arranged in the first heat dissipation channel 8 and the second heat dissipation channel 9, the airflow blown by the fan 2 into the first heat dissipation channel 8 and the second heat dissipation channel 9 dissipates heat to the first heating member 4 and the second heating member 6, and the heat dissipation system can simultaneously dissipate heat to the first heating member 4 and the second heating member 6 through the fan 2, which improves heat dissipation efficiency and space utilization in the energy storage system.
