Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of battery boxes, and in particular relates to a plug, a liquid cooling plate and a battery box. Background Art

[0002] As national policies continue to increase the energy density of battery systems, the lithium iron phosphate batteries used in most commercial vehicles also need to continuously improve their energy density. In the absence of major technological breakthroughs, the current common practice is to make the battery cells larger. However, due to the increase in the size of the battery cells, the unit heat dissipation area is reduced, and the heat in the center of the battery cell cannot be quickly transferred out, causing the heat dissipation performance of the battery cell to deteriorate, affecting the performance of the product. Therefore, it is necessary to equip the large-cell lithium iron phosphate battery with a liquid cooling plate to cool the battery.

[0003] The liquid cooling plate usually includes a flow channel plate, in which a flow channel for circulating the coolant is provided. The flow channel extends in a direction parallel to the plate surface of the flow channel plate, passes through the end surfaces at both ends of the flow channel plate and forms openings on the end surfaces. In order to ensure the sealing of the flow channel and facilitate the coolant to enter or flow out of the liquid cooling plate, it is necessary to provide plugs at both ends of the flow channel plate to seal the flow channel openings, and to provide a liquid distribution cavity connected to the flow channel in the flow channel plate and an interface for the coolant to enter or flow out of the liquid cooling plate on the plug.

[0004] For example, a Chinese utility model patent with an authorization announcement date of 2017.02.15 and an authorization announcement number of "CN205961664U" discloses "an extruded water-cooled plate", including a water-cooled body and a water distribution plate. The water-cooled plate is equivalent to a liquid cooling plate, and the water-cooled body is equivalent to a flow channel plate. The water distribution plate directly constitutes a plug for sealing one end of the flow channel plate. The plug extends in the left-right direction and is consistent with the width direction of the flow channel plate. Water distribution chambers, i.e., liquid distribution chambers, are provided at both ends of the plug. The liquid distribution chambers are arranged toward the combined flow channel openings at both ends of the flow channel plate. Two water inlet and outlet holes, i.e., interfaces, are provided on the upper surface of the plug above the liquid distribution chamber. A channel extending in a direction perpendicular to the plate surface of the liquid cooling plate is provided between the interface and the water distribution chamber for connecting the two. The aperture of the channel is consistent with the aperture of the interface. Inlet and outlet water joints are fixedly provided on the two interfaces by argon arc welding, and the extension direction of the inlet and outlet water joints is perpendicular to the upper plate surface of the liquid cooling plate.

[0005] The problem with the above plug is that the liquid distribution cavity is a square cavity set in the plug. In order to facilitate the coolant in the flow channel plate to enter or flow out of the liquid distribution cavity, the width of the liquid distribution cavity in the left and right directions is usually set larger, while the aperture of the interface is adapted to the diameter of the inlet and outlet water joints and is usually set smaller. Therefore, the aperture of the channel is also set smaller. When the coolant enters the channel from the liquid distribution cavity, the flow space of the coolant is suddenly reduced, which is easy to generate a large impact on the channel. On the contrary, when the coolant enters the liquid distribution cavity from the channel, the flow space of the coolant is suddenly increased, which is easy to generate a large impact on the liquid distribution cavity. Therefore, the service life of the above plug is short. And if the plug is damaged by impact force, it will cause leakage of coolant, which may damage the batteries in the battery box equipped with liquid cooling plate. Summary of the invention
