As shown in FIGS. 4 to 5, the power switching assembly 113 includes a switching member (also referred to as switcher) 114 and a control member (also referred to as controller) 115. The switching member 114 is used to electrically connect the first plug member 1121 and the second plug member 1122 and can switch the electrical coupling form of the first plug member 1121 and the second plug member 1122. Specifically, the switching member 114 is housed in the housing 111, and the housing 111 is provided with a rail/chute structure (not shown) for housing the switching member 114, and the switching member 114 is slidably connected in the track/chute structure and can move between the first position and the second position along the track/chute structure under the action of the control member 115. Furthermore the switching member 114 can adjust the coupling form of the first plug member 1121 and the second plug member 1122.


As shown in FIG. 5, the switching member 114 includes an elastic member 1141, a first switching member 1142 and a second switching member 1143. The first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 are connected by an elastic member 1141. The first switching member 1142 is provided with a first connection end 1144 and a protrusion (not numbered) for connecting the elastic member 1141.

Preferably, the first connection end 1144 and the second connection end 1145 are both integrally formed, and are in an “L” shape and respectively wrapped on outer walls of the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143.


As shown in FIGS. 5-7, the elastic member 1141 is connected between the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 by a protrusion. It is defined that when the elastic member 1141 is in a natural extension state, the switching member 114 is in a first position; when the switching member 114 is in the first position, the first connecting portion 1144a of the first connection end 1144 and the negative terminals 1121b and 1122b of the first plug member 1121 and the second plug member 1122 are electrically connected, so as to make the positive electrodes 12a and 13a of the first energy unit and the second energy unit be electrically connected; the positive terminals 1121a and 1122a of the first plug member 1121 and the second plug member 1122 are electrically connected through the third connecting portion 1145a of the second switching member 1143, so as to make the negative electrodes 12b and 13b of the first energy unit and the second energy unit are electrically connected. At this time, the second connecting portion 1144b is arranged separately to the fourth connecting portion 1145b.


As shown in FIGS. 8-9, the positive output terminal 1123a of the output terminal 1123 is electrically connected to the positive terminal 1121a or the positive terminal 1122a through an electrical connection structure such as a wire; the negative output terminal 1123b is electrically connected to the negative terminal 1121b or the negative terminal 1122b through an electrical connection structure such as a wire, so that the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in parallel, and a low voltage (ie, nV) output is realized through the output terminal 1123.


As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, when the elastic member 1141 is in a compressed state under the control of the control member 115, the switching member 114 is in a second position, and thereby when the switching member 114 is in the second position, the second connecting portion 1144b of the first switching member 1142 is connected to the fourth connecting portion 1145b in the second switching member 1143, so that the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 are connected into one conductive unity through the second connecting portion 1144b and the fourth connecting portion 1145b. Two adjacent terminals of the first plug member 1121 and the second plug member 1122 with opposite polarities are electrically connected through the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143, that is, at this time, the first connecting portion 1144a is separated from the positive terminal 1121a of the first plug member 1121, the third connecting portion 1145a is separated from the negative terminal 1122b of the second plug member 1122, and the adjacent negative terminal 1121b and positive terminal 1122a are electrically connected through the first connecting portion 1144a, the third connecting portion 1145a, and the assembly of the second connecting portion 1144b and the fourth connecting portion 1145b.


As shown in FIGS. 11-12, the positive output terminal 1123a of the output terminal 1123 is electrically connected to the positive terminal 1121a through an electrical connection structure such as a wire, and the negative output terminal 1123b is electrically connected to the negative terminal 1122b through an electrical connection structure such as a wire. In this way, the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in series, and a high-voltage (i.e., 2nV) output is realized through the output terminal 1123.


As shown in FIGS. 4 and 13, the control member 115 is used to drive the switching member 114 to move in the track/chute structure, so that the switching member 114 can be switched between the first position and the second position. The control member 115 includes a switching button 116, a reset button 117, and a rotary shaft 118. The rotary shaft 118 is used for connecting the switching button 116 and the reset button 117 back and forth.


As shown in FIG. 13, the switching button 116 is used to control the switching member 114 to slide between the first position and the second position. The switching button 116 can include an initial position corresponding to the first position and a switching position corresponding to the second position. Further, the switching button 116 includes a pressing portion and a switching portion 1161 connected to the pressing portion. The pressing portion penetrates the housing 111 to drive the switching portion 1161 to move between the initial position and the switching position under the pressing action.


As shown in FIG. 13, the switching portion 1161 is formed to extend outward along an extension direction perpendicular to the pressing portion. The switching portion 1161 can include two snapping arms 1162. The two snapping arms 1162 extend toward the switching member 114, and are arranged parallel to each other. A distance between the two snapping arms 1162 is smaller than a length of the switching member 114 at the first position.


As shown in FIGS. 4 and 13, when the switching button 116 is in the initial position, the two snapping arms 1162 are both located above the switching member 114, and the switching member 114 is in the first position; when the switching button 116 is moved to the switching position while is pressed, the switching member 114 is snapped between the two snapping arms 1162, and is in the second position.


As shown in FIGS. 4 and 13, an end of each snapping arm 1162 is provided with an inclined guide surface 1163 facing the switching member 114, and the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 are provided with a resisting surface 1146 corresponding to the inclined guide surface 1163. In this way, when the switching button 116 is pressed to move from the initial position to the switching position, the snapping arms 1162 can slide along the inclined guide surface 1163 and two away side walls of the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143, and is snapped on two away side walls of the switching member 114 in the longitudinal direction.


As shown in FIG. 13, two away side walls of the first switching member 1142 and the second switching member 1143 are both provided with position limiting structures 1147, and the snapping arms 1162 is provided with positioning structures 1164 corresponding to the limiting structures 1147. With this arrangement, when the switching button 116 is moved to the switching position, the separation of the switching button 116 and the switching member 114 can be effectively prevented, and the clamping stability between the switching button 116 and the switching member 114 can be ensured. The limiting structure 1147 is a limiting groove, and the positioning structure 1164 is a positioning protrusion corresponding to the limiting groove.


As shown in FIG. 4, the reset button 117 penetrates through the housing 111 to control the switching button 116 from the switching position back to the initial position by the rotary shaft 118 while is pressed. The rotating shaft 118 is partially housed in the housing space of the housing 111, and the rotating shaft 118 includes a positioning shaft, a first fin and a second fin. The positioning shaft is rotatably fixed in the housing 111. The first fin and the second fin extend outward from a radial direction of the positioning shaft and are located on the same plane. The switching button 116 is provided with a first resisting groove corresponding to the first fin, and the reset button 117 is provided with a second resisting groove corresponding to the second fin.


As shown in FIG. 4, when the switching button 116 is in the initial position, the rotary shaft 118 is in a freely rotating state, and the reset button 117 can move up and down along its extension direction; and at this time, the switching member 114 is in the first position, and the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in parallel, and the electric energy storage system 10 can realize a low voltage (i.e., nV) output.


As shown in FIGS. 4 and 13, when the switching button 116 moves from the initial position to the switching position, the first resisting groove drives the first fin to rotate around the positioning shaft, so that the second fin abuts against the second resisting groove, so as to drive the reset button 117 and the switching button 116 to move in opposite directions. When the switching button 116 is positioned at the switch position, the switching portion 1161 of the switching button 116 is snapped at both ends of the switching member 114 in the longitudinal direction, and the positioning structure 1164 on the snapping arm 1162 and the limiting structure on the switching member 114 are snapped each other to limit the switching position of the switching button 116 and drive the switching member 114 to move from the first position to the second position. The reset button 117 is snapped and positioned between the housing 111 and an end of the second fin, and At this time, the switching member 114 is in the second position, the first energy unit and the second energy unit are connected in series, and the electric energy storage system can realize a high-voltage (i.e., 2nV) output.


As shown in FIGS. 4 and 13, when controlling the switching button 116 to move back to the initial position, the reset button 117 is pressed, and drives the second fin and the first fin through the second resisting groove to rotate around the positioning shaft, the first fin drives the switching button 116 to move from the switching position to the initial position, so that the limiting structure is separated from the positioning structure. The switching portion 1161 is disengaged from an end of the switching member 114, which further drives the switching member 114 to move from the second position back to the first position, and the switching of the coupling state of the first plug member 1121 and the second plug member 1122 by the power switching assembly 113 is completed.


As shown in FIGS. 2 and 14, an electric energy storage system is further provided in the disclosure. The electric energy storage system can include substantially the same structure as the previous embodiment. The difference is that the power switching device 11 is a switching device that can realize the switching between the first position and the second position by rotating a turntable. The following description will describe the differences in detail, and the similar/same parts will not be repeated here.
