Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field related to lithium battery modules, and in particular to a water cooling system and an installation method for a lithium battery module. Background Art

[0002] With the promotion of environmental protection concepts, in the automotive industry, gasoline used in fuel vehicles is a gas that produces atmospheric pollution after combustion, which has an increasingly greater impact on air quality. Various adverse environmental factors such as smog weather are constantly generated, affecting people's health. In order to improve the environment, new energy vehicles have been paid attention to and continuously promoted. Electric vehicles, as a new energy source, have gradually entered people's field of vision. Various manufacturers have begun to vigorously develop electric vehicles. Therefore, electric vehicles have also become a benchmark for an industry, and they are constantly expanding. The technology is becoming more and more sophisticated. The core of electric vehicles is the lithium battery pack, but the design of the lithium battery system requires many parts. The module, as the core power supply module, is equivalent to the heart of the lithium battery system. Every small detail of the module needs to be taken seriously.

[0003] The discharge current of lithium batteries is very large during operation, which leads to a large amount of internal heat. If the heat is not managed properly, it will seriously affect the performance and cycle life of lithium batteries. In response to this problem, the industry has invented different cooling devices, including air cooling and water cooling. Practice has proved that air cooling cannot effectively manage the heat of lithium batteries, so water cooling has gradually become a hot topic in the industry.

[0004] Most of the current water cooling methods are to connect the cooling water circuits of each lithium battery in the lithium battery module in series. This method seems to solve the cooling problem of the power battery, but it also leads to a very serious problem. Since the series cooling water circuit is long, the cooling water temperature flowing through the front and rear battery blocks is different, resulting in different cooling effects on the front and rear battery blocks. The cooling effect of the front battery block is much higher than that of the rear battery block. Over time, it will seriously affect the performance and cycle life of the battery module. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the disadvantage of different cooling effects of front and rear battery blocks in the prior art, and provides a water cooling system and an installation method for a lithium battery module with good cooling effect.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

During the process of placing the cooling sleeve into the box installation groove, the limit baffle is retracted into the side slide groove and compresses the spring 1 under the cooperation of the fillet and the inclined surface by the pressure of the cooling sleeve. When the cooling sleeve is placed at the bottom of the box installation groove, the pressure of the cooling sleeve on the limit baffle disappears, and the limit baffle extends out of the side slide groove under the reset action of the spring 1, clamps the cooling sleeve, and fixes the cooling sleeve.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the box body installation groove is provided with a channel 1 and a plurality of channels 2 matching the positioning block, the inside of the water tank is connected to one end of the channel 1, one end of a plurality of channels 2 are connected to the other end of the channel 1, the other end of the channel 2 is located on the top surface of the positioning block and is connected to the annular cooling cavity, the positioning groove and the positioning block are sealed, and the bottom of the box body installation groove is provided with a switch assembly matching the cooling sleeve.

The switch assembly is used to control the opening and closing of channel two. When no battery block is placed in a cooling sleeve, the corresponding channel two is controlled to be closed, and the coolant will not flow into the annular cooling cavity for cooling circulation, thereby optimizing the resource allocation of the coolant and saving energy.
