[0038] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The specific embodiments described are only for explanation and illustration of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a power battery pack suitable for new energy electric vehicles includes an outer casing 12, multiple battery modules located inside the outer casing, and a control module. Each battery module includes an exhaust pipe 2. Two battery modules are connected in series via exhaust pipes. The exhaust pipe 2 of the battery module that does not contact the outer casing 12 extends into the battery module that does contact the outer casing 12, while the exhaust pipe 2 of the battery module that does contact the outer casing 12 extends out of the outer casing of the power battery pack. This allows thermal runaway gases from the two battery modules to be discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 2, without contacting the internal cell array of the battery pack. The control module is used to perform cooling control on the battery modules based on preset thresholds and temperature and smoke indications detected by the detection module of the battery modules.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the battery module includes a battery module, a detection module, and an execution module. The battery module, from top to bottom, includes a current collector, a liquid-cooled cover plate, and a cell array. The current collector includes a current collector housing 1 and an exhaust pipe 2. The current collector housing 1 has a hollow structure, with a first guide hole at its bottom (facing the liquid-cooled cover plate). An exhaust pipe 2 extends out of the current collector housing 1 from one side wall of the current collector housing 12, venting thermal runaway gas to the outside without contacting the cell array inside the battery pack. A hole is provided on the side wall opposite to the exhaust pipe 2 for connecting to the exhaust pipe 2 of the connected battery module. The current collector housing 1, not in contact with the outer housing 12, only needs one side wall with the exhaust pipe 2; the side wall opposite to the exhaust pipe 2 does not require a hole.
[0041] like Figure 4As shown, the liquid cooling cover plate 4 is a hollow structure, which includes a liquid cooling pipe 3 and a second flow guide hole 5. The top and bottom of the liquid cooling cover plate 4 are provided with five second flow guide holes 5, and the positions of the second flow guide holes on the top and bottom are correspondingly arranged to ensure smooth exhaust. The liquid cooling pipe 3 is laid in an S shape inside the liquid cooling cover plate 4, and the internal working medium is water. The bottom of the liquid cooling cover plate 4 has a groove matched with the outer contour of the tab and the electrical connector. When the liquid cooling cover plate 4 is buckled on the tab and the electrical connector as the cover plate of the tab 6 and the electrical connector 8, the liquid cooling cover plate 4 can be in full contact with the tab and the electrical connector located on the top of the battery monomer 7, facilitating the cooling and heat dissipation of the tab. The second flow guide hole 5 penetrates the liquid cooling cover plate 4 longitudinally. The bottom of the current collector box 1 is tightly attached to the top of the liquid cooling cover plate 4 to ensure that the thermal runaway gas does not leak out. The number, contour and position of the second flow guide hole 5 on the top correspond to those of the first flow guide hole on the bottom of the current collector box 1, so that the first flow guide hole and the second flow guide hole are connected in series for the circulation of thermal runaway gas.
[0042] The battery monomer 7 includes five battery monomers 7 arranged side by side. The top of the battery monomer 7 has two tabs 6 protruding from the top. The battery monomers 7 at the head and tail ends each have a tab 6 on the top without an electrical connector 8, forming the positive and negative electrodes of the battery monomer array. The tabs 6 on the top of the remaining battery monomers 7 are connected to the tabs 6 on the top of the battery monomers 7 on the right side through an electrical connector 8. The top of the battery monomer 7 is also provided with an exhaust valve 9. The number, contour and position of the exhaust valve 9 are matched with those of the second flow guide hole 5 on the bottom of the liquid cooling cover plate 4, so that the exhaust valve and the second flow guide hole are connected in series to ensure that the thermal runaway gas does not leak out when the battery monomer array is tightly buckled with the liquid cooling cover plate. Adjacent two battery monomers 7 are provided with fireproof bags 11 and heat insulation plates 10 arranged side by side for heat insulation and fire prevention. The arrangement sequence of two adjacent battery monomers, fireproof bags and heat insulation plates is: battery-fireproof bag-heat insulation plate-battery. The size of the heat insulation plate 10 and the fireproof bag 11 is matched with the size of the side wall of the battery monomer. The heat insulation plate 10 is a SiO2-Al2O3 aerogel with a thickness of 3 mm. The exhaust valve described herein is a structure provided with the battery monomer. When the internal pressure of the battery monomer exceeds the threshold value of the exhaust valve, the exhaust valve can be opened.
[0043] As Figure 3As shown, the bottom wall of the current collecting device is attached to the top wall of the liquid cooling cover plate, the bottom wall of the liquid cooling cover plate is attached to the top of the battery cell array, the second flow guide hole 5 at the top of the liquid cooling cover plate 4 is in communication with the first flow guide hole at the bottom of the current collecting box 1, the second flow guide hole 5 at the bottom of the liquid cooling cover plate 4 is in communication with the exhaust valve 9 on the battery monomer 7, the thermal runaway gas generated by the thermal runaway of the battery monomer flows into the liquid cooling cover plate 4 and the current collecting box 1 in turn through the exhaust valve 9 (the arrow in the figure indicates the flow direction of the thermal runaway gas), and is discharged to the outside of the battery pack through the exhaust pipe 2, and the liquid cooling pipe 3 in the liquid cooling cover plate 4 can realize the cooling of the thermal runaway gas. This design ensures that the thermal runaway gas and smoke cannot be discharged to the outside of the battery module, but can only flow to the exhaust pipe along the gas channel.
[0044] The detection module includes a first temperature sensor T1, a second temperature sensor T2, and a smoke sensor T0; the smoke sensor T0 and the first temperature sensor T1 are both located inside the current collecting box 1, the smoke sensor T0 is used to detect the smoke generation in the current collecting box 1, and the first temperature sensor T1 is used to detect the temperature in the current collecting box 1, so as to be ready to extinguish the fire at any time. The second temperature sensor T2 is located at the center of one of the side walls outside each battery monomer 7, and is used to detect the temperature of the battery monomer. Each element in the temperature detection module communicates with the control module using CAN bus.
[0045] The execution module includes a liquid inlet control valve of the liquid cooling pipe, a first nozzle S0, and a second nozzle S1, all of which are electrically connected with the control module; the liquid inlet of the liquid cooling pipe 3 is provided with a liquid inlet control valve for adjusting the water flow rate therein; the first nozzle S0 and the second nozzle S1 are both located inside the current collecting box 1, and both of them are directed towards the inside of the current collecting box 1; the first nozzle S0 is used to spray nitrogen into the current collecting box 1, and the second nozzle S1 is used for fire extinguishing in the current collecting box 1.
[0046] The cooling control method of the battery module by the control module of the power battery pack is as follows:
[0047] The second temperature sensor T2 monitors the temperature of each battery monomer 7 and transmits it to the control module; when the highest monitoring temperature in the battery module is 25-40℃ (i.e. the highest monitoring temperature in all battery monomers in the current battery module), the control module controls the liquid inlet control valve in the execution module of the battery module to adjust the flow rate of the working medium entering the liquid cooling pipe 3 to 0.3m / s; when it drops to 25℃ or below, the liquid inlet control valve is closed to continue monitoring the temperature of each battery monomer 7 in the battery module.
[0048] When the highest monitored temperature in the battery module continues to rise, reaches 40-60℃, the control module controls the liquid inlet control valve of the battery module, adjusts the flow rate of the working medium entering the liquid cooling pipeline 3 to 0.8 m / s; when it drops to 25-40℃, it returns to the previous step to reduce the flow rate of the working medium entering the liquid cooling pipeline 3 to 0.3 m / s;
[0049] When the highest monitored temperature in the battery module continues to rise, reaches 60-90℃, the control module controls the liquid inlet control valve of the battery module, adjusts the flow rate of the working medium entering the liquid cooling pipeline 3 to 1.2 m / s; when it drops to 40-60℃, it returns to the previous step to reduce the flow rate of the working medium entering the liquid cooling pipeline 3 to 0.8 m / s;
[0050] When the highest monitored temperature in the battery module continues to rise, exceeds 90℃, the flow rate of the working medium in the liquid cooling pipeline 3 remains unchanged at 1.2 m / s, and the internal BMS of the power battery pack is started;
