Metal heat dissipation power battery pack structural design method and battery pack

Abstract

Disclosed are a metal heat dissipation power battery pack structural design method and a battery pack. The design method comprises the steps of performing material, boundary and load defining, performing non-design region and design region defining, carrying out finite element discrete, solving a structural total heat conduction matrix and total rigidity array, performing structural thermosettingcoupling field analysis, performing structural flexibility and temperature sensitivity analysis, performing flexibility sensitivity analysis, carrying out grid filtering to eliminate a checkboard format, introducing volume constraint and temperature constraint, developing the temperature constraint and performing thermal-mechanical coupling topology optimization, and performing battery pack planarstructure optimization and the like. The battery pack has high and uniform heat dissipation performance and relatively high rigidity, and furthermore, the continuation of the journey and driving safety of an electric vehicle are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electric vehicle power battery packs, in particular to a temperature-constrained structural optimization design method of a power battery pack with a metal structure for heat dissipation and a battery pack structure. Background technique [0002] The performance of power batteries is sensitive to temperature changes. When an electric vehicle is running under different driving conditions such as high speed, low speed, acceleration, deceleration, etc., the power battery will be discharged at different rates, and a large amount of heat will be generated at different heat generation rates. In addition to time accumulation and space influence, a large amount of heat will be accumulated. heat. Due to the dense placement of the heating battery body, the central area inevitably accumulates more heat, and the edge area is less, which increases the temperature unevenness among the cells in the battery pack, and ag...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The strong impact force of the electric vehicle causes the structure of the battery pack to undergo a large deformation, and the internal battery will rapidly leak, short circuit, thermal runaway, etc., and a large amount of heat will be generated rapidly, which will eventually cause the car to catch fire and explode

The main reason is that there are defects in the design of the battery pack structure. There is no load-bearing structure between the battery cells or the load-bearing structure is weak, which fails to meet the safety requirements of the battery pack.
