Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric energy storage, and in particular to a microchannel liquid-cooled battery module and an energy storage plug-in box. Background Art
[0002] Battery modules are an important component of energy storage power systems. Single cells are assembled into modules, and modules are packaged into boxes to form the smallest power system unit. Among them, lithium-ion batteries are the core part of the entire battery system. Their safety, reliability and durability are crucial, and they have an important impact on the production cost, operating performance and safety performance of the entire battery system. If the battery pack does not take corresponding heat dissipation measures, it will lead to battery charging and discharging performance degradation, accelerated aging, and even thermal runaway or explosion. Compared with air cooling, liquid cooling is widely used due to its excellent performance. Liquid cooling is divided into direct contact and indirect contact, among which indirect contact occupies a dominant position in cooling methods. Therefore, the design and construction of the flow channel are particularly important.
[0003] The main heat generating components in the module are the battery cells and busbars. The existing liquid cooling devices mainly use bottom liquid cooling. Bottom liquid cooling means placing the liquid cooling plate under the battery cells, which can achieve better cooling effects, but corresponding problems follow:
[0004] 1) The battery cells are pressed on top of the liquid cooling plate. In order to ensure the smoothness of the flow channel of the liquid cooling plate, some reinforcing beams have to be set up. Therefore, the overall structure of the plug-in box will increase and the energy density will decrease.
[0005] 2) The heat of the battery cells and bus is taken away by the bottom liquid cooling plate through heat conduction, but at the same time there is also convection heat exchange between the bottom liquid cooling plate shell and the air, which means that at room temperature of 25°C, the bottom liquid cooling plate is cooling the air while taking away the heat of the battery cells and bus, causing certain losses.
[0006] 3) The battery cells and busbars at the end of the module are special. The battery cells at the end are connected to the end plates, and the air contact area of the end plates is large. At room temperature of 25°C, the end plates can take away some of the heat of the battery cells at the end. Therefore, the temperature of the battery cells at the end will be lower than that of the middle battery cells, which will increase the temperature difference between the battery cells. The busbars at the end are connected to the positive and negative poles of the module, so the busbars at the end will be affected by the heating of the components around the positive and negative poles and will often be higher than the busbars in the middle, which will also increase the temperature difference.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0039] A microchannel liquid-cooled battery module comprises a microchannel liquid-cooling plate 2, a battery cell group and a bus 3, wherein the upper plate surface of the microchannel liquid-cooling plate 2 is bonded to the bus 3, and the lower plate surface of the microchannel liquid-cooling plate 2 is bonded to the top of the battery cell group; the microchannel liquid-cooling plate 2 is composed of a plurality of liquid-cooling units 21, wherein the liquid-cooling unit 21 is provided with a microchannel flow channel 7 and a pole hole 211, and the pole of the battery cell group extends from the pole hole 211, and the microchannel flow channel 7 comprises an inlet section 213, an outlet section 215 and a surrounding section 214, and the surrounding section 214 surrounds the outer periphery of the pole hole 211 and is in a circular ring shape, and the liquid-cooling unit 21 is further provided with a liquid inlet 218 and a liquid outlet 219, and the liquid inlet 218, the inlet section 213, the surrounding section 214, the outlet section 215 and the liquid outlet 219 are connected in sequence. The cooling medium enters the liquid cooling unit 21 from the liquid inlet 218 , passes through the inlet section 213 , the surrounding section 214 and the outlet section 215 of the liquid cooling unit 21 in sequence, and then flows out of the liquid cooling unit 21 from the liquid outlet 219 .
[0040] refer to Figure 1 , busbar 3 is welded on the pole with the expansion joint facing upward. When the battery module is running, the battery cell 4 is connected through the busbar 3, and the current flows through the parallel battery cell 4 and busbar 3, so the battery cell 4 and busbar 3 are the main heating elements. The heat generated at the pole of the battery cell 4 and the welding point between the pole and the busbar 3 is relatively large, so thermal management is required to maintain the battery cell 4 at the optimal operating temperature.
[0041] The microchannel liquid cooling plate 2 is 1.6 mm thick and is arranged between the battery cell group and the bus 3. It cools the battery cell 4 while cooling the bus 3. The bus 3 at the end is usually connected to other electrical components. Therefore, the bus 3 at the end is an influencing factor that increases the temperature difference of the module. Arranging the microchannel liquid cooling plate 2 between the battery cell 4 and the bus 3 can be beneficial to the temperature uniformity of the bus 3. In addition, arranging the microchannel liquid cooling plate 2 between the battery cell 4 and the bus 3 reduces the box volume compared to the bottom liquid cooling, and increases the energy density and box structure strength.
[0042] refer to Figure 2 The microchannel flow channel 7 is located inside the liquid cooling unit 21. The liquid cooling unit 21 includes an upper cover plate and a lower base plate. The microchannel flow channel 7, the liquid inlet 218 and the liquid outlet 219 are all formed by the gap between the upper cover plate and the lower base plate. Multiple liquid cooling units 21 are arranged and combined into a microchannel liquid cooling plate 2, wherein the liquid inlet 218 of a single liquid cooling unit 21 is directly connected to the liquid inlet 218 of the next microchannel flow channel 7.
[0043] refer to Figure 3~Figure 11, each liquid cooling unit 21 has two pole holes 211, two surrounding sections 214, and surrounds the periphery of the two pole holes 211 respectively; the two ends of the inlet section 213 are connected to the two surrounding sections 214 respectively, the two ends of the outlet section 215 are connected to the two surrounding sections 214 respectively, the liquid inlet 218 is connected to the middle of the inlet section 213, and the liquid outlet 219 is connected to the middle of the outlet section 215. The liquid inlet 218 extends outward from the middle of the inlet section 213, and the liquid outlet 219 extends outward from the middle of the outlet section 215. The thickness of the liquid inlet 218 and the liquid outlet 219 is 1.1 mm, and the width is 18 mm.
[0044] The inlet section 213 and the outlet section 215 are both in arc shape, the arc centers of the inlet section 213 and the outlet section 215 are both located on the perpendicular midline of the line segment between the centers of the two pole holes 211, and the outer sides of the inlet section 213 and the outlet section 215 are respectively tangent to the outer sides of the corresponding surrounding sections 214, so that the microchannel flow passage 7 is elliptical. By designing the flow passage shape as above, the flow resistance can be reduced.
[0045] The microchannel liquid cooling plate 2 is placed horizontally, and the upper wall and lower wall of the microchannel flow channel 7 are respectively provided with a plurality of upper micro-ribs 216 and a plurality of lower micro-ribs 217, and micro grooves are respectively formed between adjacent upper micro-ribs 216 and adjacent lower micro-ribs 217; in the inlet section 213 and the outlet section 215, the upper micro-ribs 216 and the lower micro-ribs 217 are both arc-shaped and staggered; in the surrounding section 214, the upper micro-ribs 216 and the lower micro-ribs 217 are both annular with the pole as the center, and the upper micro-ribs 216 and the lower micro-ribs 217 are staggered. The upper micro-ribs 216 and the lower micro-ribs 217 protrude from the upper wall and the lower wall, respectively, and the sum of the heights of the upper micro-ribs 216 and the lower micro-ribs 217 is less than the distance between the upper wall and the lower wall. The cooling medium (water or ethylene glycol) enters through the liquid inlet 218 and passes through the microgrooves that are recessed upward and downward to reduce the fluid laminar flow. The upper and lower microgrooves are connected through the space in the middle, which reduces the flow resistance to a certain extent.
[0046] The height of the upper micro-ribs 216 and the lower micro-ribs 217 are both 20% of the thickness of the microchannel liquid cooling plate 2. The upper micro-ribs 216 and the lower micro-ribs 217 are staggered, that is, the upper micro-ribs 216 face the micro-grooves on the lower wall, and the lower micro-ribs 217 face the micro-grooves on the upper wall, which can reduce fluid laminar flow and improve heat exchange efficiency.
[0047] The interval between adjacent upper micro-rib 216 rings in the surrounding section 214 is 1mm, the minimum diameter of the upper micro-rib 216 ring is 25mm, the maximum diameter of the upper micro-rib 216 ring is 47mm, and the lower micro-rib 217 is staggered accordingly. In the inlet section 213 and the outlet section 215, the arc center of the upper micro-rib 216 and the arc center of the lower micro-rib 217 are both located at the pole. The diameters of two adjacent upper micro-ribs 216 differ by 10mm, the minimum diameter of the upper micro-rib 216 is 52mm, the maximum diameter is 122mm, and the lower micro-rib 217 is staggered accordingly. The micro-grooves of the surrounding section 214 on the periphery of the pole are denser than those of the inlet section and the outlet section, which can enhance the convective heat transfer efficiency at the pole.
[0048] refer to Fig.12 , further comprising a first temperature averaging plate 8, the first temperature averaging plate 8 comprising a connecting plate section and two heat dissipation plate sections, the connecting plate section being vertically connected between the two heat dissipation plate sections, so that the first temperature averaging plate 8 is in an I-shape; the battery cell group comprises a plurality of battery cells 4 and an end plate 6, the plurality of battery cells 4 are arranged in N rows and M columns, a battery cell gap is left between two adjacent columns of battery cells 4, the connecting plate section passes through the battery cell gap and fits the side of the battery cell 4, the two heat dissipation plate sections are respectively located at the two ends of the corresponding two columns of battery cells 4, the end plate 6 is arranged on the outside of the heat dissipation plate section, and the top of the first temperature averaging plate 8 fits the lower plate surface of the microchannel liquid cooling plate 2; N and M are both not less than 2. M is an even number, the number of the first temperature averaging plates 8 is M / 2, the number of the end plates 6 is 2M, the outsides of the heat dissipation plate sections at the two ends of each column of battery cells 4 are correspondingly provided with end plates 6, and the end plates 6, the battery cell group and the first temperature averaging plate 8 are fixedly connected.
[0049] The first temperature averaging plate 8 is made of a metal material with low thermal resistance. Through the heat conduction of the first temperature averaging plate 8 itself, the heat in the middle of each column of cells 4 can be transferred to the outside. The air cools the end plate 6 while cooling the first temperature averaging plate 8, thereby cooling the entire module and reducing the temperature difference between the middle and end cells. The heat of the cells 4, busbars 3 and the first temperature averaging plate 8 can all be taken away by the microchannel liquid cooling plate 2, further improving the overall temperature uniformity of the module.
[0050] The number of liquid cooling units 21 is the same as that of battery cells 4 and they are arranged one by one. The positive pole and the negative pole of the battery cell 4 extend out from the two pole holes 211 respectively. The liquid cooling unit 21 is also provided with an explosion-proof valve reserved hole 212, which is located between the two pole holes 211. The explosion-proof valve reserved hole 212 corresponds to the explosion-proof valve of the battery cell 4, which facilitates the installation of the microchannel between the battery cell 4 and the bus bar 3.
[0051] The multiple liquid cooling units 21 corresponding to each column of battery cells 4 are arranged in series, and the liquid inlet 218 of the previous liquid cooling unit 21 is connected to the liquid outlet 219 of the next liquid cooling unit 21; the liquid cooling units 21 of two adjacent columns are arranged in series or in parallel.
[0052] In some embodiments, the number of columns of battery cells 4 is 2, corresponding to two columns of liquid cooling units 21. The microchannel liquid cooling plate 2 can be connected to the liquid inlet 218 and the liquid outlet 219 on the same side, so that the two-inlet and two-outlet microchannel liquid cooling plate 2 becomes a one-inlet and one-outlet structure on the same side, and the overall flow direction of the fluid is U-shaped, which sacrifices the flow resistance but can further improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0053] In each column of battery cells 4 , large surfaces of two adjacent battery cells 4 are adjacent to each other, and a second temperature balancing plate 5 is disposed between the two adjacent battery cells 4 .
[0054] In some embodiments, reference Fig.12 In each column of battery cells 4, the large surfaces of two adjacent battery cells 4 are adjacent, and a heat insulating material is provided between the two adjacent battery cells 4. When the temperature of a single battery cell 4 is too high, the heat insulating material can be used to prevent thermal runaway.
[0055] The upper surface of the microchannel liquid cooling plate 2 is coated with insulating paint to ensure insulation between it and the bus 3. The lower surface of the microchannel liquid cooling plate 2 is coated with thermal conductive structural adhesive, which is connected to the top of the battery cell group through the thermal conductive structural adhesive to cool the battery cell 4 while increasing the structural strength of the module.

[0057] When two adjacent columns of liquid cooling units 21 are arranged in parallel, the main liquid inlet pipe is connected with multiple parallel liquid inlets, and the main liquid outlet pipe is connected with multiple parallel liquid outlets to connect multiple columns of liquid cooling units 21 accordingly.
[0058] The microchannel liquid-cooled battery module also includes a base plate 1, on which the battery cell group is fixedly arranged. The base plate 1 can be fixed to the bottom of the plug-in box body to facilitate the installation of the battery module.
[0059] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be equivalent replacement methods and are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
