It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0037] This application provides a sensor fixing device, a temperature acquisition device, and a battery pack. The sensor fixing device is used to fix a temperature sensor and includes a fixing frame and a housing. The fixing frame includes a first mounting frame, and an elastic portion extends from the inner wall of the first mounting frame. The housing is located inside the first mounting frame and is used to house the temperature sensor. The housing has a temperature-sensing surface that is used to conform to the side wall of the battery cell. The temperature-sensing surface is a curved surface that matches the side wall of the battery cell. When the temperature-sensing surface contacts the side wall of the battery cell, the elastic portion squeezes the housing to press the temperature-sensing surface to adhere to the side wall of the battery cell. Detailed descriptions follow.

[0038] Combination Figures 1 to 6This application provides a sensor fixing device 10 for fixing a temperature sensor. The sensor fixing device 10 includes a fixing frame 11 and a housing 12. Both the fixing frame 11 and the housing 12 can be made of PBT material. PBT, polybutylene terephthalate, is a polyester made by the condensation polymerization of phthalic acid and 1,4-butanediol. It is an important thermoplastic polyester and one of the five major engineering plastics. Polybutylene terephthalate is a milky white, translucent to opaque, semi-crystalline thermoplastic polyester with high heat resistance. It is not resistant to strong acids and alkalis, but is resistant to organic solvents. It is flammable and decomposes at high temperatures. Polybutylene terephthalate is widely used in automobiles, machinery, precision instrument components, electronics, textiles, and other fields. This material has excellent properties such as high heat resistance, fatigue resistance, and a low coefficient of friction.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting frame 11 includes a first mounting frame 110, with an elastic portion 116 extending from the inner wall of the first mounting frame 110. The elastic portion 116 can be a spring or a sheet spring. A housing 12 is located inside the first mounting frame 110. The housing 12 houses a temperature sensor and has a temperature-sensing surface 141. The temperature-sensing surface 141 is designed to conform to the sidewall of the battery cell. The temperature-sensing surface 141 is a curved surface that mimics the shape of the battery cell's sidewall. When the temperature-sensing surface 141 contacts the sidewall of the battery cell, the elastic portion 116 presses against the housing 12 to press the temperature-sensing surface 141 against the sidewall of the battery cell. The elastic portion 116 presses the temperature-sensing surface 141 against the sidewall of the battery cell, ensuring close contact between the temperature-sensing surface 141 and the sidewall of the battery cell. Furthermore, the curved surface of the temperature-sensing surface 141, which conforms to the shape of the battery cell's sidewall, improves the accuracy of the contact between the temperature-sensing surface 141 and the sidewall of the battery cell, thus improving the accuracy of temperature acquisition.

[0040] Among them, the temperature sensing surface 141 is a simulated curved surface of the battery cell that matches the side wall of the battery cell. For example, if the side wall of the battery cell is flat, then the temperature sensing surface 141 is flat; if the battery cell is a cylindrical battery cell and the side wall of the battery cell is an arc surface, then the temperature sensing surface 141 is an arc surface with the same shape as the side wall of the battery cell.

[0041] In this embodiment, a limiting part 142 extends out from the outer casing 12. When the outer casing 12 extends into the first mounting frame 110, the limiting part 142 passes through the first mounting frame 110, and the end of the temperature sensing surface 141 and the end of the limiting part 142 extending out are respectively located on both sides of the first mounting frame 110. When the temperature sensing part 14 separates from the side wall of the battery cell, the elastic part 116 abuts against the outer casing 12 in a preset direction, and the first mounting frame 110 abuts against the limiting part 142 in a direction opposite to the preset direction, thus fixing the outer casing 12. Since the outer casing 12 is held in place by the elastic part 116 within the first mounting frame 110, the elastic part 116 can press the temperature sensing surface 141 against the side wall of the battery cell, so that the temperature sensing surface 141 can make close contact with the side wall of the battery cell, improving the accuracy of temperature acquisition.

[0042] The temperature sensor can be an NTC temperature sensor. An NTC temperature sensor is a thermistor or probe whose resistance decreases rapidly as temperature rises. It typically consists of two or three metal oxides mixed in a fluid-like clay and sintered in a high-temperature furnace to form a dense, sintered ceramic. The actual size is very flexible; they can be as small as 0.010 inches or have a very small diameter.

[0043] In this embodiment, the outer casing 12 includes a receiving portion 13 and a temperature sensing portion 14. The receiving portion 13 is used to house a temperature sensor. One side of the temperature sensing portion 14 is connected to the receiving portion 13, and a temperature sensing surface 141 is disposed on the other side of the temperature sensing portion 14. A limiting portion 142 extends out from one side of the temperature sensing portion 14. When the temperature sensing portion 14 separates from the side wall of the battery cell, the limiting portion 142 and the receiving portion 13 pass through the first mounting frame 110. The elastic portion 116 abuts against the temperature sensing portion 14 in a preset direction, the first mounting frame 110 abuts against the limiting portion 142, and the first mounting frame 110 abuts against the outer casing 12 in a direction opposite to the preset direction, thus fixing the outer casing 12. Specifically, the temperature sensing portion 14 is a rectangular plate, and the corners of the temperature sensing portion 14 are chamfered.

[0044] In this embodiment of the application, the fixing frame 11 includes a second mounting frame 151 located inside the first mounting frame 110. The outer walls on both sides of the second mounting frame 151 are respectively connected to the inner walls on both sides of the first mounting frame 110. When the temperature sensing part 14 extends into the first mounting frame 110, the receiving part 13 extends into the second mounting frame 151 and is slidably connected to the second mounting frame 151.

[0045] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the second mounting frame 151 is provided with a plurality of guide ribs 153 extending in a preset direction, and the plurality of guide ribs 153 are arranged around the receiving part 13. By providing a plurality of guide ribs 153, the receiving part 13 can be guided to pass through the inner wall of the second mounting frame 151.

[0046] In this embodiment, the fixing frame 11 further includes a reinforcing member 152, which connects the outer wall of the second mounting frame 151 and one side of the first mounting frame 110 abutting the limiting part 142. One side of the reinforcing member 152 is connected to the outer wall of the second mounting frame 151, and the other side is connected to one side of the first mounting frame 110 abutting the limiting part 142. Specifically, the reinforcing member 152 is a right-angled reinforcing plate, and there are four reinforcing members 152, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the second mounting frame 151. By providing the reinforcing members 152, the strength of the fixing frame 11 can be improved.

[0047] In this embodiment, the limiting part 142 includes a connecting rod 143 and a stop 144 with one end of the connecting rod 143 turned outward. The connecting rod 143 extends in the opposite direction to a preset direction, and the other end of the connecting rod 143 is connected to one side of the temperature sensing part 14. The side of the stop 144 away from the connecting rod 143 is an inclined surface in the preset direction. The first mounting frame 110 abuts against the stop 144 and abuts against the outer shell 12 in the opposite direction to the preset direction. When the temperature sensing part 14 extends into the first mounting frame 110, the limiting part 142 and the receiving part 13 pass through the first mounting frame 110, and the stop 144 on the limiting part 142 passes through the first mounting frame 110 under the guidance of its inclined surface. The side of the stop 144 away from the connecting rod 143 is an inclined surface in the preset direction, which facilitates the passing of the limiting part 142 through the first mounting frame 110.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first mounting frame 110 includes two opposing columns 112 and opposing cover plate 111 and base plate 113. The two ends of the columns 112 are respectively connected to the surfaces of the cover plate 111 and the base plate 113. A connector 115 protrudes from the side of the base plate 113 away from the cover plate 111. The connector 115 is used to fix the mounting bracket 11, and its cross-section is non-circular. Because the connector 115 has a non-circular cross-section, it can be inserted into a preset position on the mounting bracket 11, fixing the mounting bracket 11 in the preset position and preventing rotation of the mounting bracket 11.

[0049] In one specific embodiment, the battery cell is a cylindrical battery cell with a curved sidewall, and the temperature sensing surface 141 is a curved surface with the same shape as the sidewall of the battery cell. Specifically, the cover plate 111 includes three side edges, each of which is a curved surface with the same shape as the sidewall of the battery cell.

[0050] In this embodiment, at least two limiting portions 142 are provided on one side of the temperature sensing part 14, and the at least two limiting portions 142 are respectively located on both sides of the receiving part 13. Specifically, four limiting portions 142 are provided on one side of the temperature sensing part 14, and the four limiting portions 142 are respectively located on both sides of the receiving part 13.

[0051] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 This application also provides a temperature acquisition device, which includes a temperature sensor 23 and a sensor fixing device 10 in any of the above embodiments, wherein the temperature sensor 23 is fixed inside the sensor fixing device 10.

[0052] Furthermore, the temperature acquisition device also includes a wiring harness 21 and a connector 22. The two ends of the wiring harness 21 are connected to the temperature sensor 23 and the connector 22, respectively. The connector 22 acquires and uploads the data collected by the temperature sensor 23 through the wiring harness 21. The wiring harness 21 and connector 22 are used to transmit signals. The wiring harness 21 adopts a double-parallel structure stacked vertically, which reduces the space occupied by the wiring harness 21 and facilitates its placement among the battery cells. The length of the wiring harness 21 can be adjusted according to the placement position of the temperature sensor 23 and the module length, which is beneficial for acquiring the temperature of any battery cell in the entire module.

[0053] Furthermore, the housing 13 contains an epoxy resin layer 24, which is hollow and serves to encapsulate the temperature sensor 23. The epoxy resin layer 24 encapsulates the temperature sensor 23, thus protecting it.

[0054] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 9 and Figure 10 Taking three battery cells 30 as an example, in a specific embodiment, the battery cell 30 is a cylinder with an arc surface. The temperature sensing surface 141 is an arc surface with the same curvature as the surface of the battery cell 30, meaning the curvature of the temperature sensing surface 141 is the same as the curvature of the surface of the battery cell 30, allowing for complete fit. Both the cover plate 111 and the base plate 113 include three side edges, each of which is an arc surface with the same curvature as the surface of the battery cell 30. When the sensor fixing device 10 is placed in the gap formed by the three battery cells 30, the temperature sensing surface 141 is in contact with the side wall of one of the battery cells 30, and the three side edges of the cover plate 111 and the bottom plate 113 are in contact with the side walls of the three battery cells 30 respectively. This greatly reduces the volume of the gap, and it is even possible to make the side walls of the three battery cells 30 fit together in sequence without having to leave space for the sensor fixing device 10. Then the sensor fixing device 10 can be placed in the gap between the three battery cells 30. This greatly reduces the overall volume of the battery pack, thereby providing a strong guarantee for improving the battery energy density.

Specifically, the battery pack 100 includes a battery plate 40, and a plurality of battery cells 30 are arrayed on the battery plate 40. The battery plate 40 is provided with positioning holes that match the connector 115, and the sensor fixing device 10 is inserted into the positioning holes on the battery plate 40 through the connector 115.
