DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The lithium-ion battery pack shown includes a housing 1 and a through hole 6 on the side of the housing 1. A lithium battery module 2 is disposed in the accommodating space of the housing 1. The lithium battery module 2 is composed of multiple lithium battery cells, and the wiring port of the lithium battery module 2 is provided with a wire 3. The wire 3 is located above the lithium battery module 2. End plates 4 are provided on both sides of the housing 1. A circuit plug is installed on the end plate 4. A cooling component 5 is embedded on one side of the end plate 4. A pipe group for flowing coolant is provided in the inner cavity of the housing 1 and near the bottom. The pipe group is arranged in a coil shape. Through the cooling methods of air cooling and liquid cooling, the temperature inside the entire power battery pack can be quickly reduced.
[0031] When the power battery pack is in a high-temperature environment, the temperature of the pipe assembly also rises due to the temperature. In order to reduce the temperature of the pipe assembly, a flow cooling component is installed inside the gap of the pipe assembly, which can be located at different positions of the pipe assembly to carry out cooling work, in combination with the existing air-cooling component 5 of the power battery pack and the pipe assembly through which coolant flows.
[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, the air-cooled assembly 5 includes a hollow housing 51, and a fan assembly 52 is installed inside the housing 51. The fan blades of the fan assembly 52 face the lithium battery module 2. The airflow generated when the fan assembly 52 is running can come into contact with the lithium battery module 2, reducing the temperature of the lithium battery module 2 during charging and discharging.
[0033] A first barrier mesh frame 53 and a second barrier mesh frame 54 are respectively installed at the two openings of the housing 51 to isolate impurities. The second barrier mesh frame 54 is located in the space between the fan assembly 52 and the lithium battery module 2. A guide frame 55 is provided on the surface of the second barrier mesh frame 54. The guide frame 55 is funnel-shaped and is used to disperse the airflow generated by the operation of the fan assembly 52. The purpose of providing the guide frame 55 is to evenly disperse the airflow generated by the operation of the fan assembly 52, so that the airflow fully contacts the lithium battery module 2, thereby improving the efficiency of heat dissipation.
[0034] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the pipe group includes sequentially connected flow pipeline one 10, flow pipeline two 11 and connecting pipe 12, and the flow pipeline one 10, flow pipeline two 11 and connecting pipe 12 are all arranged in a coil shape. During the flow of the cooling liquid in the flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11, the curved pipe structure can easily reduce the speed of the cooling liquid, so as to facilitate the full heat dissipation of the lithium battery module 2.
[0035] The flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11 are located below the lithium battery module 2, the connecting pipe 12 is installed between the flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11, and the connecting pipe 12 is clamped at the outer edge of the flow guide frame 55. The cooling liquid flowing in the flow pipeline one 10, flow pipeline two 11 and connecting pipe 12 can take away a large amount of heat generated by the operation of the lithium battery module 2 to play a heat dissipation role. Since the connecting pipe 12 is clamped at the outer edge of the flow guide frame 55, when the fan assembly 52 operates, the airflow dispersed by the flow guide frame 55 can pass through the connecting pipe 12 to perform heat dissipation on the pipe body of the connecting pipe 12.
[0036] Embodiment 2: as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 When the power battery pack is in a high-temperature environment, the temperature of the pipe group also rises due to the influence of the temperature. In order to reduce the temperature of the pipe group, in combination with the existing air cooling assembly 5 of the power battery pack, a flow force cooling assembly is further provided. The flow force cooling assembly includes a support strip 13 fixed to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1, a channel for airflow passing through is formed in the support strip 13, a plurality of heat dissipation fins 14 are arranged on the inner wall of the channel, and the heat dissipation fins 14 extend to the gap between the pipe bodies of the flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11. The surface of the heat dissipation fin 14 is coated with a layer of heat-conducting silicone grease. The heat around the flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11 is effectively conducted to the heat dissipation fin 14, and then dissipated to the surrounding air through the heat dissipation fin 14.
[0037] A plurality of linkage members 16 are detachably installed on the support strip 13, and the linkage members 16 are opposite the curved parts of the pipe bodies of the flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11. The purpose of arranging the linkage members 16 opposite the curved parts is to rotate under the action of the airflow generated by the operation of the fan assembly 52 to further generate airflow and contact the pipe bodies of the flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11. Under the premise that the fan assembly 52 operates, the heat dissipation efficiency of the flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11 can be effectively improved. In combination with the operation of the fan assembly 52 to generate airflow in contact with the connecting pipe 12, the flow force cooling assembly is close to different positions of the flow pipeline one 10 and flow pipeline two 11, and can comprehensively cool the pipe group.
[0038] As shown in Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, linkage 16 includes a rotating shaft 161 detachably mounted on the inner bottom wall of support strip 13, and a sleeve 162 rotatably connected to the outer side of rotating shaft 161. Sleeve 162 is provided with a plurality of follow-up vanes 163 on the outer surface thereof, which can be driven to rotate by airflow. When fan assembly 52 is in operation, airflow can pass through the channels on the surface of support strip 13 and contact linkage 16. Follow-up vanes 163 in linkage 16 are arranged in an arc shape, and can be driven to rotate by airflow.
[0039] The airflow generated by the rotation of follow-up vanes 163 can contact the pipe group. By generating airflow through rotation, the air flow near the pipe group can be increased, the temperature of circulation pipeline 10 and circulation pipeline 11 can be quickly reduced, and the influence of the high-temperature environment inside the power battery pack on circulation pipeline 10 and circulation pipeline 11 can be reduced.
[0040] Further, after the temperature of circulation pipeline 10 and circulation pipeline 11 is reduced, the temperature rising speed of the cooling liquid flowing in circulation pipeline 10 and circulation pipeline 11 can be effectively reduced, the cooling efficiency of the cooling liquid in the circulation and cooling process is improved, and the long-term use of the cooling liquid is facilitated.
[0041] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 , the flow force cooling assembly further includes a plurality of supporting plates 15 fixed to the top of support strip 13. Supporting plates 15 abut against the bottom of lithium battery module 2. Supporting plates 15 are provided to maintain the stability of the entire lithium battery module 2, and have a supporting and positioning effect. Circulation pipeline 10 and circulation pipeline 11 are located below supporting plates 15 and abut against supporting plates 15, and implement liquid cooling work on lithium battery module 2.
[0042] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 6 , end plate 4 located on the opposite side of air cooling assembly 5 is provided with parallel liquid inlet 7 and liquid outlet 8. Liquid inlet 7 and liquid outlet 8 are respectively connected and installed with the opening of circulation pipeline 11 and circulation pipeline 10. Liquid inlet 7 and liquid outlet 8 are provided to facilitate the connection of external cooling liquid pipes, so as to form the passage of the inflow and outflow of cooling liquid.
[0043] As shown in Figure 5 , Figure 7 , the smaller opening end of flow guide frame 55 corresponds to the flow-through opening in the center of surface of barrier net frame 2, forming a channel for airflow to pass through. When fan assembly 52 is in operation, a part of the airflow still directly reaches the surface of lithium battery module 2, and the airflow contacts the center of lithium battery module 2, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect.
[0044] As shown in Figure 6As shown, the outer surface of the flow pipeline one 10 and the flow pipeline two 11 is sleeved with the support 9, and the two symmetrical legs of the support 9 are fixed to the inner bottom wall of the shell 1. The purpose of arranging the support 9 is to keep the stability of the flow pipeline one 10, the flow pipeline two 11 and the communication pipe 12 connecting the two, keep the balance of the whole pipeline group, so as to facilitate the pipeline group and the cooling liquid flowing in the pipeline group to implement the heat dissipation work on the lithium battery module 2.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application, and not for limiting the present application, although the foregoing embodiments of the present application are described in detail, for those skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, within the spirit and principles of the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included within the scope of the present application.
