However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0069] In order to fully understand the implementation of the present invention, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art.

[0070] It should be understood that the purpose of the terms used herein is only to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the present invention, and the singular forms "a", "an" and "said / the" are also intended to include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0071] Ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" cited in the present invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meaning, such as a specific order. Moreover, for example, the term "first component" itself does not imply the existence of a "second component", and the term "second component" itself does not imply the existence of a "first component".

[0072] The "parallel" / "vertical" and similar expressions used in the present invention include an absolute parallel / vertical relationship and a roughly parallel / vertical relationship (for example, a relationship that differs from absolute parallel / vertical by -5° to +5°), which can have the same effect.

[0073] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings show representative embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0074] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the utility model provides a cold plate 110, a battery pack 100 and an electrical device. Among them, the cold plate 110 is used to achieve a cooling function. When the cold plate 110 is used for the battery pack 100, the cold plate 110 is used to directly or indirectly connect to the battery assembly 150 to conduct the heat of the battery assembly 150. When the working fluid flows through the cold plate 110, the working fluid can exchange the heat generated by the battery assembly 150 to achieve cooling of the battery assembly 150. The electrical device includes a battery pack 100 and an electrical device, and the electrical device and the battery pack 100 are electrically connected. The battery pack 100 is suitable for supplying power to the electrical device. The electrical device here can be a new energy vehicle, a traditional fuel vehicle or a hybrid vehicle.

[0075] See also Figures 2 to 10 According to the utility model, the cold plate 110 may include a substrate 111 and a flow channel plate 112. The substrate 111 is suitable for being directly or indirectly connected to the battery assembly 150 to conduct heat. The flow channel plate 112 is stacked along the thickness direction D3 of the substrate 111 and fixedly connected to the substrate 111. The working fluid flow channel 110a formed between the substrate 111 and the flow channel plate 112 is suitable for circulating the working fluid. The flow channel plate 112 may include a first body layer 112a and a first protective layer 112b. The first protective layer 112b is attached to the side of the first body layer 112a away from the substrate 111 along the thickness direction D3. The first protective layer 112b is suitable as a sacrificial layer that can react with corrosive substances such as acidic, alkaline, and saline. The reaction here is, for example, a chemical reaction.

[0076] According to the cold plate 110 of the utility model, by setting the first protective layer 112b on the outside of the first body layer 112a, it can act as a sacrificial layer to react with the corrosive substances in the application environment containing corrosive substances, thereby achieving the purpose of resisting the corrosion of the first body layer 112a by the corrosive substances, thereby improving the performance of the cold plate 110 in resisting external corrosion.

[0077] For example, the first protective layer 112b can be constructed as a structural layer made of one of aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy materials such as 7072 aluminum alloy material, 7072mod aluminum alloy material, and a composite material including aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy materials. The aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy material here can also be called a seven-series aluminum alloy material or a 7000 series aluminum alloy material. The thickness of the first protective layer 112b accounts for less than or equal to 10% of the total thickness of the flow channel plate 112.

[0078] According to the cold plate 110 of the present invention, by compounding the first protective layer 112b made of one of 7072 aluminum alloy material, 7072mod aluminum alloy material, composite material including 7072 aluminum alloy material and composite material including 7072mod aluminum alloy material on the outside of the first body layer 112a, it is possible to resist corrosion on the outside of the first body layer 112a, thereby improving the performance of the flow channel plate 112 in resisting external corrosion. Compared with the cold plate 110 solution of adding a coating in the related art, the cold plate 110 using the composite structure of the present invention can further reduce the cost of the cold plate 110 and reduce the space requirement of the cold plate 110. In addition, the cold plate 110 of the present invention can simplify the process and reduce the complexity of assembly.

[0079] Further, the thickness of the first protective layer 112b accounts for a ratio of 10% to 30% of the total thickness of the flow channel plate 112. The ratio of the thickness of the first protective layer 112b to the total thickness of the flow channel plate 112 can also be understood as the composite ratio of the first protective layer 112b in the flow channel plate 112. The higher the composite ratio here, the better the performance of the flow channel plate 112 in resisting external corrosion. By compounding the first protective layer 112b with different thickness ratios on the flow channel plate 112, different corrosion resistance can be obtained to meet different application requirements of resisting external corrosion.

[0080] In other examples, the first protective layer 112b can be constructed as a structural layer made of other metal materials or non-metal materials, and can be composited on the outer surface of the first body layer by using composite processes such as hot pressing and welding.

[0081] For example, the first body layer 112a can be constructed as a structural layer made of one of aluminum-manganese alloy series aluminum alloy materials such as 3003 aluminum alloy material, 3003mod aluminum alloy material, and composite materials including aluminum-manganese alloy series aluminum alloy materials. The aluminum-manganese alloy series aluminum alloy material here can also be called a three-series aluminum alloy or a 3000 series aluminum alloy material. By adopting this technical means, the first body layer 112a can be used as a strength layer of the flow channel plate 112 to ensure the mechanical properties such as the structural strength of the flow channel plate 112.

[0082] See also Figures 2 to 10 In addition, the flow channel plate 112 may further include a first bonding layer 112c. The first bonding layer 112c is attached to the surface of the first body layer 112a facing the working fluid flow channel 110a along the thickness direction D3. The substrate 111 may include a second body layer 111c and a second bonding layer 111e. The first bonding layer 112c is attached to one side of the second body layer 111c facing the working fluid flow channel 110a along the thickness direction D3. The second bonding layer 111e is welded to the first bonding layer 112c by a brazing process. The working fluid flow channel 110a is enclosed between the second bonding layer 111e and the first bonding layer 112c. By providing the first bonding layer 112c on the flow channel plate 112, providing the second bonding layer 111e on the substrate 111, and welding the first bonding layer 112c and the second bonding layer 111e by a brazing process, the substrate 111 is fixed to the flow channel plate 112. The portion of the flow channel plate 112 facing the working medium flow channel 110a is the first bonding layer 112c. The portion of the substrate 111 facing the working medium flow channel 110a is the second bonding layer 111e.

[0083] For example, the first bonding layer 112c is constructed as a structural layer made of one of aluminum-silicon alloy series aluminum alloy materials such as 4343 aluminum alloy material and 4045 aluminum alloy material, and a composite material including aluminum-silicon alloy series aluminum alloy materials. 4343 aluminum alloy material and 4045 aluminum alloy material are both aluminum alloy materials suitable for brazing in the aluminum-silicon alloy series. The aluminum-silicon alloy series aluminum alloy material here can also be called a four-series aluminum alloy material or a 4000 series aluminum alloy material.

[0084] For example, the second bonding layer 111e is constructed as a structural layer made of one of aluminum-silicon alloy series aluminum alloy materials such as 4343 aluminum alloy material and 4045 aluminum alloy material, and a composite material including aluminum-silicon alloy series aluminum alloy materials. Both 4343 aluminum alloy material and 4045 aluminum alloy material belong to aluminum-silicon alloy series aluminum alloy materials suitable for brazing.

[0085] Furthermore, the material of the first bonding layer 112 c and the material of the second bonding layer 111 e may be the same or different.

[0086] Optionally, the thickness of the first bonding layer 112c accounts for less than or equal to 10% of the total thickness of the flow channel plate 112. For example, the thickness of the first bonding layer 112c accounts for 5% to 10% of the total thickness of the flow channel plate 112.

[0087] Optionally, the thickness of the second bonding layer 111e accounts for less than or equal to 10% of the total thickness of the substrate 111. For example, the thickness of the second bonding layer 111e accounts for 5% to 10% of the total thickness of the substrate 111.

[0088] In other examples, when the flow channel plate 112 has the first bonding layer 112c, the substrate 111 may not have the second bonding layer 111e. For example, the substrate 111 only has the second body layer 111c.

[0089] See also Figures 8 to 10 In addition, the substrate 111 may further include a second protective layer 111d. The second protective layer 111d is attached to the surface of the second body layer away from the flow channel plate 112 along the thickness direction D3. The second protective layer 111d may be constructed as a structural layer made of one of the aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy materials such as 7072 aluminum alloy material, 7072mod aluminum alloy material, and a composite material containing aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy materials. The thickness of the second protective layer 111d accounts for less than or equal to 10% of the total thickness of the substrate 111. By compounding the second protective layer 111d on the side of the second body layer facing the outside, the external corrosion resistance of the substrate 111 can be improved.

[0090] For example, the thickness of the second protective layer 111d accounts for a ratio of 10% to 30% of the total thickness of the flow channel plate 112. The ratio of the thickness of the second protective layer 111d to the total thickness of the substrate 111 can also be understood as the composite ratio of the second protective layer 111d on the substrate 111. The higher the composite ratio here, the better the anti-corrosion performance of the substrate 111. By composite the second protective layer 111d with different thickness ratios on the substrate 111, different corrosion resistance can be obtained to meet different anti-corrosion application requirements.

[0091] In other examples, the second protective layer can be constructed as a structural layer made of other metal materials or non-metal materials, and can be composited on the outer surface of the first body layer by using composite processes such as hot pressing and welding.

[0092] See also Figures 2 to 10In addition, the flow channel plate 112 may further include a third protective layer 112e. The third protective layer 112e is located between the first bonding layer 112c and the first body layer 112a along the thickness direction D3. The third protective layer 112e is attached to the first bonding layer 112c and the first body layer 112a. The third protective layer 112e is configured as a structural layer made of one of the aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy materials such as 7072 aluminum alloy material, 7072mod aluminum alloy material, and a composite material containing aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy materials. The thickness of the third protective layer 112e accounts for no more than 10% of the total thickness of the flow channel plate 112. By arranging the third protective layer 112e between the first bonding layer 112c and the first body layer 112a, when internal corrosion occurs in the flow channel plate 112, it can be corroded before the first body layer 112a, thereby improving the performance of the flow channel plate 112 in resisting internal corrosion.

[0093] For example, the ratio of the thickness of the third protection layer 112 e to the total thickness of the flow channel plate 112 is in the range of 5% to 10%.

[0094] In other examples, the third protective layer may be constructed as a structural layer made of other metallic materials or non-metallic materials.

[0095] See also Figures 8 to 10 In addition, the substrate 111 may further include a fourth protective layer 111f. The fourth protective layer 111f is located between the second bonding layer and the second body layer along the thickness direction D3. The fourth protective layer 111f is attached to the second bonding layer and the second body layer. The fourth protective layer 111f may be constructed as a structural layer made of one of aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy materials such as 7072 aluminum alloy material, 7072mod aluminum alloy material, and a composite material containing aluminum-zinc alloy series aluminum alloy materials. The thickness of the fourth protective layer 111f accounts for no more than 10% of the total thickness of the substrate 111. By arranging the fourth protective layer 111f between the second bonding layer and the second body layer, the substrate 111 can be corroded before the second body layer when internal corrosion occurs, thereby improving the internal corrosion resistance of the substrate 111.

[0096] For example, the ratio of the thickness of the fourth protection layer 111 f to the total thickness of the substrate 111 is in the range of 5% to 10%.

[0097] In other examples, the fourth protective layer may be constructed as a structural layer made of other metallic materials or non-metallic materials.

[0098] The overall thickness of the cold plate 110 of the present invention may be consistent with the thickness of a conventional cold plate 110 .

[0099] See also Figures 2 to 10For example, a connection hole 111b is provided at the end of the substrate 111. The connection hole 111b is connected to the working fluid flow channel 110a. The cold plate 110 may also include a joint 113. The joint 113 is sealed and connected to the connection hole 111b. And the joint 113 is connected to the working fluid flow channel 110a via the connection hole 111b. The joint 113 may include a base (not shown) and a passivation layer (not shown). The base may be constructed as a structure made of aluminum alloy. The passivation layer may be constructed as a structural layer formed on the outer surface of the base by a pre-treatment process. The pre-treatment process here may include a pickling process and a passivation process. The passivation layer is suitable for reacting with acidic, alkaline and other substances before the base as a sacrificial layer or an anti-corrosion layer to resist corrosion of the base by the external environment. The reaction here can also be understood as a chemical reaction. The passivation layer serves the purpose of protecting the base. The connection hole 111b can be used as a mounting hole for the joint 113. When the joint 113 is assembled, a part of the joint 113 is embedded in the connection hole 111b. By providing the joint 113, it is convenient for the cold plate 110 to be connected to other pipelines or channels through the joint 113 to realize the circulation flow of the working medium. By processing the outside of the joint 113 to obtain a passivation layer, the resistance of the joint 113 to external corrosion can be improved, thereby further improving the overall resistance of the cold plate 110 to external corrosion.

[0100] exist Figures 1 to 10 In the example shown, the dimension of the cold plate 110 along the first direction D1 is greater than the dimension along the second direction D2. The first direction D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2. And both the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 are perpendicular to the thickness direction D3. The surface of the flow channel plate 112 facing the substrate 111 is recessed along the thickness direction D3 toward the side away from the substrate 111 to form a flow channel groove. Correspondingly, the surface of the flow channel plate 112 facing away from the substrate 111 bulges outward to form a flow channel rib. The flow channel plate 112 can be made by a stamping process. The surface of the substrate 111 facing the flow channel plate 112 is a flat surface. The flow channel groove is closed by the substrate 111 to form a working fluid flow channel 110a. The end of the flow channel plate 112 along the first direction D1 extends outward to form a first extension portion 112d. The end of the substrate 111 along the first direction D1 extends outward to form a second extension portion 111a. The connection hole 111 b is formed through the second extension portion 111 a along the thickness direction D3 . The joint 113 is connected to the connection hole 111 b and protrudes from a surface of the substrate 111 away from the flow channel plate 112 along the thickness direction D3 .

[0101] See also Figures 1 to 10 The utility model further provides a battery pack 100. The battery pack 100 may include the cold plate 110 described above. According to the battery pack 100 of the utility model, by applying the cold plate 110 described above, the service life of the battery pack 100 can be improved.

[0102] See also Figure 1 For example, the battery pack 100 may include a tray 130, a sealing cover 120, and a battery assembly 150. The sealing cover 120 is sealed and connected to the tray 130.
