[0047] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0048] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for establishing a flow field simulation model of a liquid cooling system of a battery swapping device provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , the method for establishing the flow field simulation model of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device includes:
[0049] S110, obtaining a set flow resistance, a calculated flow resistance, a first flow velocity, and a first inertia coefficient value of a flow channel of a battery pack thermal management system, and determining a first viscosity coefficient value based on the set flow resistance, the calculated flow resistance, the first flow velocity, and the first inertia coefficient value.
[0050] Among them, the set flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system can be obtained based on the experience of the same or similar battery pack thermal management systems, the calculated flow resistance is calculated based on the configuration pipeline corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system and the set flow rate, the first flow rate is calculated based on the set flow rate, and the first inertia coefficient value is set. The first inertia coefficient value is, for example, greater than or equal to 0.1 and less than or equal to 3. Exemplarily, the first inertia coefficient value can be set to 1. The flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system is the sum of the flow resistance of the configuration pipeline corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system and the flow resistance of the medium boundary. The medium boundary is, for example, a porous medium boundary. Therefore, the flow resistance of the porous medium boundary can be obtained by obtaining the set flow resistance and the calculated flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system, and then the first viscosity coefficient value can be determined based on the flow resistance of the porous medium boundary, the first flow rate and the first inertia coefficient value.
[0051] S120. Establish an initial model for flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery exchange device according to the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value.
[0052] Specifically, after calculating the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value, the porous medium boundary can be determined, the model corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system can be determined, and the initial model of the liquid cooling system can be established. For example, it can be an initial model for the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of a battery swapping device, wherein the battery swapping device is a device used by a battery swapping station to replace battery packs on vehicles, etc.
[0053] S130. Simulate the initial model and conduct a physical test on the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device, or simulate the battery pack thermal management system model, correct the first inertia coefficient value to the second inertia coefficient value, and correct the first viscosity coefficient value to the second viscosity coefficient value.
[0054] Specifically, the initial model of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device includes the model corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system, so simulating the initial model can more accurately calculate the flow resistance of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device, and can determine the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system, the flow resistance of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device, and the flow field uniformity. By subtracting the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system calculated by simulation from the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system obtained by the physical test of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device, if the difference between the two is less than the first preset difference, it indicates that the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value are in line with the actual situation, and the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value do not need to be corrected; if the difference between the two is greater than the first preset difference, it indicates that the error of the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system calculated by simulation using the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value is large, then the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value based on the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system obtained by the physical test, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value. The second viscosity coefficient value; or, subtract the flow resistance of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device calculated by simulation from the flow resistance of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test. If the difference is greater than the second preset difference, the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value according to the flow field resistance of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value; or, subtract the first flow field uniformity of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device calculated by simulation from the flow field uniformity of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test. If the difference is greater than the third preset difference, the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value according to the second flow field uniformity of the actual test, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value.
[0055] Alternatively, the existing battery pack thermal management system model can be simulated under different operating conditions. For example, the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system under different flow rates can be simulated to obtain multiple sets of data. The relationship between the flow resistance and flow velocity of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system can be determined based on the multiple sets of data, and the second inertia coefficient value and the second viscosity coefficient value can be directly calculated, so as to correct the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value.
[0056] S140. Establish a correction model for flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery exchange device according to the second inertia coefficient value and the second viscosity coefficient value.
[0057] Specifically, according to the corrected value of the second coefficient of inertia and the second viscosity coefficient, the accurate porous medium boundary can be obtained, and a corrected model for the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device can be established. By simulating the corrected model for the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system, the flow resistance and other parameters of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device can be calculated, which is convenient for analyzing the flow field uniformity of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device. The corrected model for the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device includes the model corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system. Therefore, by simulating the corrected model, the flow resistance of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device can be calculated more accurately, thereby reducing the error of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device and improving the accuracy of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device.
[0058] The technical solution of this embodiment can determine the porous medium boundary by obtaining the set flow resistance, calculated flow resistance, first flow velocity and first inertia coefficient value of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system, and determine the first viscosity coefficient value based on the set flow resistance, calculated flow resistance, first flow velocity and first inertia coefficient value. It can also determine the model corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system, and establish an initial model for flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device. The initial model is simulated, and the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device is physically tested. The flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system calculated by simulation is subtracted from the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system obtained by the physical test of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device. If the difference between the two is greater than the first preset difference, the first flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system obtained by the physical test can be corrected. The first inertia coefficient value is the second inertia coefficient value, and the first viscosity coefficient value is corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value; or, the flow resistance of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device calculated by simulation is subtracted from the flow field flow resistance of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test. If the difference is greater than the second preset difference, the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value according to the flow field flow resistance of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value; or, the first flow field uniformity of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device calculated by simulation is subtracted from the second flow field uniformity of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test. If the difference is greater than the third preset difference, the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value according to the second flow field uniformity of the actual test, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value. Alternatively, the existing battery pack thermal management system model can be simulated under different working conditions. For example, the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system under different flow rates can be simulated and calculated to obtain multiple sets of data. Based on the multiple sets of data, the relationship between the flow resistance and flow velocity of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system can be determined, and the second inertia coefficient value and the second viscosity coefficient value can be directly calculated, so that the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected. According to the corrected second inertia coefficient value and the second viscosity coefficient value, an accurate porous medium boundary can be obtained, and a correction model for the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device can be established. By simulating the correction model for the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device, the flow resistance and other parameters of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device can be calculated, which is convenient for analyzing the uniformity of the flow field of the liquid cooling system. The correction model of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device includes the model corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system. Therefore, by simulating the correction model, the flow resistance of the liquid cooling system can be calculated more accurately, thereby reducing the error of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device and improving the accuracy of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device.The technical solution of this embodiment solves the problem that directly ignoring the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system will result in large errors in the flow field simulation results of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device. It achieves the effect of reducing the error of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device and improves the accuracy of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device.

[0061] Specifically, an internal surface is established at any cross-section of the configuration pipeline corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system. The internal surface can be defined as a porous medium boundary. The flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system is the sum of the flow resistance of the configuration pipeline corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system and the flow resistance of the medium boundary. The medium boundary is, for example, a porous medium boundary. Therefore, according to the set flow resistance P1 and the calculated flow resistance P2 of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system, the first medium boundary flow resistance ΔP1=P1-P2 can be determined.
[0062] S220. Determine a first viscosity coefficient value according to a first flow velocity, a first medium boundary flow resistance, and a first inertia coefficient value.
[0063] Specifically, assuming that the first flow velocity is u1, the first inertia coefficient value is α1, the first viscosity coefficient value is β1, and the density of the fluid medium in the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system is ρ, then the first medium boundary flow resistance is ΔP1 = ρ × (α1 × u1 + β1) × u1. The first viscosity coefficient value β1 can be determined based on the set flow resistance P1, the calculated flow resistance P2, the first flow velocity u1 and the first inertia coefficient value α1.

When simulating the liquid cooling system, the configuration pipeline can be used to replace the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system, so as to simulate and calculate the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system.
[0071] Optionally, the configuration pipeline corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system includes a straight pipe or a U-shaped pipe.
[0072] Specifically, straight tubes or U-shaped tubes can be used to replace the flow channels of the battery pack thermal management system. The straight tubes and U-shaped tubes have simple structures and can simplify the model of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device. When calculating the flow resistance of the configured pipeline, the flow resistance formula can be directly used for calculation, thereby simplifying the calculation process.
[0073] It should be noted that the method for establishing the flow field simulation model of the liquid cooling system of the battery exchange device in this embodiment can also be applied to pipelines with complex configurations.

[0103] Specifically, the first simulated flow resistance corresponding to each flow rate is P1i, and the second simulated flow resistance of the configured pipeline corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system at each flow rate is P2i. The second medium boundary flow resistance corresponding to each flow rate can be calculated to be ΔP2=P1i-P2i.
[0104] S542. Determine a relationship between the second medium boundary flow resistance and the second flow velocity.
[0105] Specifically, the second flow velocity corresponding to each flow rate is u2i, then the second medium boundary flow resistance ΔP2 = ρ × (α2 × i2i + β2) × u2i + c, so that the quadratic function relationship of the second medium boundary flow resistance with respect to the second flow velocity can be obtained, wherein c represents a constant, α2 is the second inertia coefficient value, and β2 is the first viscosity coefficient value. When the flow rate is 0, the second medium boundary flow resistance is 0, so substituting the flow rate of 0 into the relationship, it can be seen that the constant c is 0, so the relationship between the second medium boundary flow resistance and the second flow resistance is ΔP2 = ρ × (α2 × u2i + β2) × u2i, so that the relationship between the second medium boundary flow resistance and the second flow velocity can be determined.

[0113] Specifically, by performing simulation calculations based on the initial model, the medium boundary flow resistance ΔP3 can be obtained, and the flow resistance P3' of the configuration pipeline corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system can be calculated. The third simulated flow resistance P3 of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system can be obtained by adding the medium boundary flow resistance ΔP3 to the flow resistance P3' of the configuration pipeline, that is, P3 = P3' + ΔP3.

[0115] Specifically, a physical test is performed on the liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device. The liquid cooling system of the battery swapping device includes the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system. Therefore, the first physical flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system can be directly measured, and the second physical flow resistance and the uniformity of the second flow field of the liquid cooling system flow field of the battery swapping device can also be measured.
[0116] S650. When it is determined that the difference between the first physical flow resistance and the third simulated flow resistance is greater than the first preset difference, or the difference between the second physical flow resistance and the fourth simulated flow resistance is greater than the second preset difference, or the difference between the second flow field uniformity and the first flow field uniformity is greater than the third preset difference, the first inertia coefficient value is corrected to the second inertia coefficient value, and the first viscosity coefficient value is corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value according to the first physical flow resistance, the second physical flow resistance or the second flow field uniformity.
[0117] Specifically, by subtracting the third simulated flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system calculated by simulation from the first physical flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system obtained by physical testing, if the difference between the third simulated flow resistance and the first physical flow resistance is less than the preset difference, it indicates that the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value are in line with the actual situation, and the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value do not need to be corrected; if the difference between the third simulated flow resistance and the first physical flow resistance is greater than the first preset difference, it indicates that the error of the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system calculated by simulation using the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value is large, then the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value according to the first physical flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system obtained by physical testing, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value. Alternatively, the fourth simulated flow resistance of the flow field of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device calculated by simulation is subtracted from the second physical flow resistance of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test. If the difference is greater than the second preset difference, the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value according to the second physical flow resistance of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test. Alternatively, the first flow field uniformity of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device calculated by simulation is subtracted from the second flow field uniformity of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test. If the difference is greater than the third preset difference, the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value according to the second flow field uniformity of the actual test, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value.
[0118] S660. Establish a correction model for flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery exchange device according to the second inertia coefficient value and the second viscosity coefficient value.
[0119] The technical solution of this embodiment is to simulate using the initial model of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device to obtain the third simulated flow resistance of the battery pack thermal management system, and then perform a physical test on the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device. If the difference between the third simulated flow resistance and the first physical flow resistance is greater than the first preset difference, it indicates that the error of the flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system simulated and calculated using the first inertia coefficient value and the first viscosity coefficient value is large. Then, the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value according to the first physical flow resistance of the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system obtained from the physical test, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value; or, the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device calculated by simulation can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value. The fourth simulated flow resistance of the system flow field is subtracted from the second physical flow resistance of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test. If the difference is greater than the second preset difference, the first inertia coefficient value can be corrected to the second inertia coefficient value according to the second physical flow resistance of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device in the actual test, and the first viscosity coefficient value can be corrected to the second viscosity coefficient value; or, the first flow field uniformity of the battery swap device liquid cooling system calculated by simulation is subtracted from the second flow field uniformity of the battery swap device liquid cooling system in the actual test.

In this way, a corrected model of the flow field simulation of the liquid cooling system of the battery swap device can be obtained. The corrected model of the liquid cooling system includes the model corresponding to the flow channel of the battery pack thermal management system.
