Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the continuous improvement of human living standards, energy shortages and environmental pollution problems have become increasingly prominent. As far as the automotive industry is concerned, the replacement of traditional power with new energy power has become a major development trend. Compared with traditional power vehicles, electric vehicles have relatively more stringent requirements on the external ambient temperature during use. This is mainly concentrated in the battery pack. Too high or too low temperature will affect the performance of the battery pack. Once the thermal management performance is not handled properly, the vehicle will break down at the least, affecting the customer's user experience; in severe cases, the battery pack will catch fire and explode, directly affecting the safety of passengers' lives and property. Therefore, battery pack thermal management is a key and difficult topic in the field of electric vehicle research.

[0003] At present, most battery pack cases are designed to be sealed. The temperature of the battery pack body is controlled by adding a temperature regulating device inside. Although the sealed battery pack case design can effectively achieve dust and water proof functions, the sealed design will also cause insufficient heat dissipation inside the battery pack, which can easily lead to the formation of a high-pressure cavity inside the battery pack. Coupled with the bumps during use, it will seriously cause the battery pack to explode. Therefore, we propose a heat exchange structure for a high-voltage battery pack case of an automobile.

One end of the bolt is passed through the through hole and is located outside the case. An air hole is provided inside the bolt. This can avoid high pressure inside the case due to incomplete heat dissipation, assist ventilation and heat dissipation, and achieve better regulation of the internal temperature of the battery pack case. A baffle is fixedly welded inside the case, a filter is plugged and fixed on the baffle, and a flame-retardant membrane core, a dust-proof membrane core and a waterproof and breathable membrane core are respectively provided in the filter.
