Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a battery pack. Background Art
[0002] Currently, air cooling and liquid cooling are commonly used for thermal management of lithium battery packs. The cooling medium for air cooling is air, which has a small heat capacity and thermal conductivity, and cannot be used for cooling battery packs under high-rate charge and discharge.
[0003] Liquid cooling methods are usually cold plate cooling and immersion cooling. Cold plate cooling often uses a liquid cold plate at the bottom to cool the battery pack, and thermal conductive glue is used between the liquid cold plate and the bottom of the battery cell. This method is indirect heat exchange, and there are problems such as large thermal resistance and low heat exchange efficiency. Especially for power battery packs, which have high charge and discharge rates, when using traditional bottom water cooling, there is a large temperature difference between the top and bottom of the battery cell.

The cover and the box are sealed with a sealing ring or sealant. Multiple bolts are used around the cover to fasten and seal the cover and the box. The battery pack with this structure is heavy and has low specific energy. The coolant flows unevenly inside the battery pack, resulting in a large temperature difference between the batteries.

[0067] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, some embodiments of the present invention provide a battery pack, which is mainly used in mobile devices, electric vehicles, home appliances, energy storage devices, etc., to reduce the temperature difference of the battery 20 during the cooling process and improve the uniformity and cooling quality of the battery 20.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the battery pack has a first direction X, a second direction Y and a third direction Z which are perpendicular to each other.
[0069] The battery pack includes a case 10 and a plurality of batteries 20 .
[0070] The housing 10 includes a first outer shell 500 , a second outer shell 600 and a plurality of partitions 700 .
[0071] It is understandable that the number of the partitions 700 can be any value of two or more than two, and can be specifically set according to actual conditions.
[0072] Among them, the plurality of partitions 700 are arranged between the first shell 500 and the second shell 600. It can be understood that the first shell 500, the plurality of partitions 700 and the second shell 600 are sequentially connected along the first direction to form the box body 10.
[0073] It should be noted that, by arranging a plurality of baffles 700 between the first shell 500 and the second shell 600, the interior of the housing 10 is defined as a liquid inlet chamber 100, a receiving chamber 200 and a liquid outlet chamber 300 which are sequentially connected along the second direction through the first shell 500, the second shell 600 and the plurality of baffles 700. It can be understood that the liquid inlet chamber 100 is connected with the liquid outlet chamber 300 through the receiving chamber 200, that is, the coolant entering the housing 10 first passes through the liquid inlet chamber 100, and enters the receiving chamber 200 through the liquid inlet chamber 100, and then enters the liquid outlet chamber 300 from the receiving chamber 200.
[0074] Specifically, the partition 700 is connected to the first housing 500 at one side adjacent to the first housing 500, and a flow guiding cavity 210 is defined between the first housing 500 and the partition 700, and a battery 20 is disposed in the flow guiding cavity 210. It can be understood that the battery 20 is disposed between the first housing 500 and the partition 700 adjacent to the first housing 500, so that the battery 20 is limited in the first direction by the first housing 500 and the partition 700, so as to improve the stability of the battery 20 in the first direction. In addition, there is a gap between the first housing 500 and the battery 20, and there is a gap between the partition 700 adjacent to the first housing 500 and the battery 20, so that a flow guiding channel 400 is defined by the outer wall of the battery 20, the inner wall of the first housing 500, and the partition 700 adjacent to the first housing 500 toward the side of the first housing 500.
[0075] Secondly, the partition 700 is connected to the second shell 600 at one side adjacent to the second shell 600, and a flow guide cavity 210 is defined between the second shell 600 and the partition 700, and a battery 20 is arranged in the flow guide cavity 210. It can be understood that the battery 20 is arranged between the second shell 600 and the partition 700 adjacent to the second shell 600, so that the battery 20 is limited along the first direction by the second shell 600 and the partition 700, so as to improve the stability of the battery 20 in the first direction. In addition, there is a gap between the second shell 600 and the battery 20, and there is a gap between the partition 700 adjacent to the second shell 600 and the battery 20, so as to define a flow guide channel 400 through the outer wall of the battery 20, the inner wall of the second shell 600, and the partition 700 adjacent to the second shell 600 toward the side of the second shell 600.
[0076] In addition, two adjacent partitions 700 are connected, and a flow guiding cavity 210 is defined between the two adjacent partitions 700, and a battery 20 is arranged in the flow guiding cavity 210. It can be understood that the battery 20 is arranged between the two adjacent partitions 700, so that the battery 20 is limited along the first direction by the two adjacent partitions 700, so as to improve the stability of the battery 20 in the first direction. In addition, there is a gap between the side of the partition 700 facing the battery 20 and the outer wall of the battery 20, so that a flow guiding channel 400 is defined by the two adjacent partitions 700 facing the side of the battery 20 and the outer wall of the battery 20.
[0077] It should be noted that a plurality of guide chambers 210 are arranged in sequence along the first direction, and the inlet of the guide chamber 210 is adjacent to the liquid inlet chamber 100, and the inlet of the guide chamber 210 is communicated with the liquid inlet chamber 100, so that the coolant entering the liquid inlet chamber 100 can enter the guide chamber 210 through the inlet. Secondly, the outlet of the guide chamber 210 is adjacent to the liquid outlet chamber 300, and the outlet of the guide chamber 210 is communicated with the liquid outlet chamber 300, so that the coolant entering the guide chamber 210 can enter the liquid outlet chamber 300 through the outlet. It can be understood that the accommodating chamber 200 includes a plurality of guide chambers 210 arranged in sequence along the first direction.
[0078] In this embodiment, the number of the guide cavities 210 can be specifically set according to actual conditions.
[0079] Along the second direction, one side of the housing 10 is provided with a liquid inlet 110 communicating with the liquid inlet cavity 100, so that external coolant can enter the liquid inlet cavity 100 through the liquid inlet 110. It can be understood that, along the second direction, the liquid inlet 110 is located on the side of the liquid inlet cavity 100 away from the liquid outlet cavity 300.
[0080] In addition, along the second direction, a liquid outlet 310 communicating with the liquid outlet cavity 300 is provided on a side of the box body 10 away from the liquid inlet 110 , so that the liquid entering the liquid outlet cavity 300 can be discharged through the liquid outlet 310 .
[0081] A plurality of batteries 20 are disposed in the accommodating cavity 200 , so that the batteries 20 are cooled by the cooling liquid entering into the accommodating cavity 200 .
[0082] Specifically, one of the batteries 20 is accommodated in one of the diversion chambers 210, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the battery 20 and the inner wall of the diversion chamber 210, so as to define a diversion channel 400 between the outer wall of the battery 20 and the inner wall of the diversion chamber 210, and the liquid inlet end of the diversion channel 400 is connected to the liquid inlet chamber 100, and the liquid outlet end of the diversion channel 400 is connected to the liquid outlet chamber 300.
[0083] It is understandable that the external cooling liquid enters the liquid inlet cavity 100 through the liquid inlet port 110, and the liquid entering the liquid inlet cavity 100 enters the diversion channel 400 through the liquid inlet end of the diversion channel 400. The cooling liquid entering the diversion channel 400 contacts the surface of the battery 20, and can form heat conduction with the heat generated by the battery 20, and take away part of the heat generated by the battery 20 with the cooling liquid, thereby avoiding the temperature increase of the battery 20 to ensure the temperature stability of the battery 20. The cooling liquid flowing through the diversion channel 400 enters the liquid outlet cavity 300 through the liquid outlet end of the diversion channel 400, and the liquid entering the liquid outlet cavity 300 is discharged through the liquid outlet port 310 to form a cooling and lowering of the battery 20 accommodated in the accommodating cavity 200.
[0084] It should be noted that, along the second direction, the liquid inlet 110 is arranged at the lower end of one side of the box body 10, and the storage liquid outlet 310 is arranged at the upper end of the other side of the box body 10, and the liquid inlet 110 and the liquid outlet 310 are respectively arranged along the diagonal corners of the box body 10; along the third direction, the liquid inlet end of the guide channel 400 is close to the upper end of the liquid inlet cavity 100, and the liquid outlet end of the guide channel 400 is close to the lower end of the liquid outlet cavity 300.
[0085] Specifically, the coolant that enters the liquid inlet cavity 100 through the liquid inlet port 110 enters the liquid inlet cavity 100 from the bottom of the liquid inlet cavity 100, and as the coolant is continuously injected, the liquid level in the liquid inlet cavity 100 gradually rises along the third direction to ensure that the coolant can fill the liquid inlet cavity 100. When the liquid level in the liquid inlet cavity 100 rises to the liquid inlet end of the guide channel 400, the coolant in the liquid inlet cavity 100 enters the guide channel 400 through the liquid inlet end. Since the liquid inlet end is close to the upper end of the liquid inlet cavity 100, the coolant that enters the guide channel 400 flows from top to bottom along the third direction through the surface of the battery 20, and cools the surface of the battery 20 to improve the uniformity and cooling quality of the battery 20. Secondly, the coolant flowing through the battery 20 enters the liquid outlet cavity 300 through the liquid outlet end of the guide channel 400, and the liquid level of the coolant in the liquid outlet cavity 300 gradually increases along the third direction to ensure that the coolant can fill the liquid outlet cavity 300, so that the coolant entering the interior of the box body 10 can completely fill the liquid inlet cavity 100, the accommodating cavity 200 and the liquid outlet cavity 300, thereby ensuring the stability of the coolant during the flow process in the liquid inlet cavity 100, the accommodating cavity 200 and the liquid outlet cavity 300, avoiding the occurrence of flow blind spots, thereby further ensuring the uniformity and cooling quality of the battery 20 in the accommodating cavity 200.
[0086] It can be understood that in the battery pack provided by the present application, the coolant entering the guide channel 400 through the liquid inlet 110 can directly contact the surface of the battery 20, thereby further improving the cooling uniformity and cooling efficiency of the battery 20.
[0087] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the partition 700 includes a connection frame 710 and a connection plate 720 disposed in the connection frame 710 .
[0088] The shape of the connection frame 710 may be any one of polygonal, circular, elliptical, and irregular shapes, or a combination of two or more.
[0089] In this embodiment, the connection frame 710 is taken as a square frame as an example for detailed description as follows.
[0090] Along the third direction, the connection frame 710 includes a first frame plate 711 and a second frame plate 712 that are arranged opposite to each other, the first frame plate 711 is parallel to the second frame plate 712, one end of the connection plate 720 is connected to the side of the first frame plate 711 facing the second frame plate 712, and the other end of the connection plate 720 is connected to the end of the second frame plate 712 facing the first frame plate 711. The connection plate 720 is perpendicular to the first frame plate 711 and the second frame plate 712, so that the space inside the connection frame 710 is divided into two accommodating spaces by the connection plate 720, so that part of the battery 20 can be accommodated through the accommodating space, so as to improve the utilization rate of the partition 700, improve the space utilization rate inside the battery pack, and thus improve the energy density inside the battery pack.
