Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery modules, and in particular to a high-efficiency heat dissipation device for a new energy battery module. Background Art

[0002] A battery module is a unit assembled from multiple cells to provide higher voltage and capacity. A battery module is composed of several cells, connectors, and a battery management system. A battery module can be understood as an intermediate product between a cell and a battery pack formed by combining lithium-ion cells in series and parallel and adding a single-cell battery monitoring and management device. Its structure must support, fix, and protect the cells, which can be summarized into three major items: mechanical strength, electrical properties, thermal properties, and fault handling capabilities. Whether the cell position can be fixed intact and protected from deformation that damages performance, whether the spread of thermal runaway can be avoided, etc., will be the criteria for judging the quality of a battery module.

[0003] Liquid cooling technology uses liquid convection heat transfer to remove the heat generated by the battery cell and reduce the battery cell temperature. Liquid media have a high heat transfer coefficient, large heat capacity, and fast cooling speed. They are effective in reducing the maximum temperature and improving the temperature consistency of the battery pack. At the same time, the volume of the thermal management system is relatively small. The liquid cooling system is relatively flexible. The battery cell or module can be immersed in liquid, cooling channels can be set between the battery cells, or a cooling plate can be used at the bottom of the battery.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a new energy battery module high-efficiency heat dissipation device, including a battery frame 100, a plurality of batteries 400 and a plurality of heat dissipation mechanisms. The battery 400 is arranged vertically, and the plurality of batteries 400 are arranged in sequence in the battery frame 100 along the horizontal direction, and the direction in which the plurality of batteries 400 are arranged in sequence is the first direction.

[0038] Each heat dissipation mechanism is arranged in two adjacent batteries 400, and each heat dissipation mechanism includes a liquid cooling plate 500 and a plurality of slide plates 600. Each liquid cooling plate 500 is vertically arranged between two adjacent batteries 400, and the liquid cooling plate 500 is arranged along the second direction, the second direction is a horizontal direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. A first channel 560 and a plurality of arc-shaped flow channels 501 are provided in the liquid cooling plate 500, and the first channel 560 is arranged along the second direction. A plurality of arc-shaped flow channels 501 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the first channel 560, and a plurality of arc-shaped flow channels 501 are distributed in sequence along the second direction. The arc-shaped flow channel 501 is arc-shaped, and both ends of the arc-shaped flow channel 501 are connected to the first channel 560.

[0039] The slide plate 600 is arranged along the second direction, and the slide plate 600 can be slid up and down in the first channel 560, and each slide plate 600 is arranged at one end of an arc-shaped flow channel 501. The slide plate 600 has a first state and a second state. The first state of the slide plate 600 is that the slide plate 600 and the inner wall of the first channel 560 are against each other, and the slide plate 600 blocks one end of the arc-shaped flow channel 501, thereby preventing the liquid from flowing in the arc-shaped flow channel 501. At this time, the temperature of the battery 400 is low, and the liquid basically flows in the first channel 560, which can ensure smooth flow. At this time, the liquid flow rate in the first channel 560 is fast, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0040] The second state of the slide plate 600 is that the slide plate 600 and the first channel 560 are out of contact, the slide plate 600 no longer blocks the arc-shaped flow channel 501, and the liquid can flow in the arc-shaped flow channel 501 to accelerate the flow of the liquid in the arc-shaped flow channel 501. At this time, the temperature of the battery 400 is relatively high, and part of the liquid flows in the arc-shaped flow channel 501, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area, thereby better cooling the battery 400. At the same time, the liquid flowing out of the arc-shaped flow channel 501 enters the space between the slide plate 600 and the inner wall of the first channel 560. When the liquid passes through the reduced flow cross-section, the flow rate of the liquid increases, and the pressure here becomes smaller, thereby generating suction on the liquid outlet 5012, thereby improving the flow capacity of the liquid in the arc-shaped flow channel 501.

[0041] In this embodiment, the two ends of the liquid cooling plate 500 along the second direction are respectively the first end and the second end. The two ends of the arc flow channel 501 are the liquid inlet 5011 and the liquid outlet 5012. The liquid inlet 5011 is close to the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500, and the liquid outlet 5012 is close to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500.

[0042] The slide plate 600 is disposed at the liquid outlet 5012, and includes a first transverse plate and an inclined plate, the first transverse plate and the inclined plate are fixedly connected, and the inclined plate and the first transverse plate are sequentially distributed along the direction from the first end to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500. The inclined plate gradually moves away from the inner wall of the first channel 560 along the direction from the second end to the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500.

[0043] When the liquid in the first channel 560 flows from the second end to the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500, under the driving force generated by the liquid flow, the slide plate 600 is in the first state, the slide plate 600 and the inner wall of the first channel 560 are against each other, and the slide plate 600 blocks the liquid outlet 5012.

[0044] When the liquid in the first channel 560 flows from the first end to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500, under the driving force generated by the liquid flow and under the action of the inclined plate, the slide plate 600 is in the second state, and the liquid outlet 5012 is opened. At this time, part of the liquid will enter the arc flow channel 501 from the liquid inlet 5011 and flow out from the liquid outlet 5012 to improve the efficiency of heat dissipation for the battery 400.

[0045] In this embodiment, each heat dissipation mechanism further includes a plurality of first guide assemblies, and the plurality of first guide assemblies are sequentially distributed along the second direction. Each first guide assembly includes a first curved plate 700 and a second curved plate 800. The first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 are both slidably disposed in the first channel 560. The first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 are sequentially distributed along the direction from the first end to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500, and the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 are both curved, with the convex surface facing upward, and the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 are inclined.

[0046] One end of the first curved plate 700 near the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500 is lower than one end of the first curved plate 700 near the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500. One end of the second curved plate 800 near the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500 is higher than one end of the first curved plate 700 near the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500.

[0047] When the liquid in the first channel 560 flows from the second end to the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500, under the driving force generated by the liquid flow, the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 move away from each other in the vertical direction, and the first curved plate 700 is located above the second curved plate 800. Most of the liquid in the first channel 560 flows in a wave-like manner under the guidance of the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800, thereby improving the mixing degree of the liquid in the first channel 560.

[0048] When the liquid in the first channel 560 flows from the first end to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500, the driving force generated by the liquid flow makes the highest end of the first curved plate 700 and the highest end of the second curved plate 800 at the same height, and makes the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 form a wave shape, and the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 divide the first channel 560 into two layers, upper and lower.

The fourth state of the rotating plate 900 is that the first angle is an obtuse angle and the second angle is an acute angle.

[0051] When the liquid in the first channel 560 flows from the second end to the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500, the rotating plate 900 is in the third state, the rotating plate 900 and the first curved plate 700 are inclined in the same direction, and the rotating plate 900 and the first curved plate 700 work together to guide the water flow. Most of the liquid in the first channel 560 flows in a wave-like manner under the guidance of the first curved plate 700, the second curved plate 800 and the rotating plate 900.

[0052] When the liquid in the first channel 560 flows from the first end to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500, the rotating plate 900 is in the fourth state, the rotating plate 900 and the second curved plate 800 are inclined in the same direction, and the liquid flowing out of the slide plate 600 is guided by the rotating plate 900, and is mixed with the liquid in the first channel 560 under the action of the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 and flows in a wave-like manner.

[0060] When the liquid in the first channel 560 flows from the first end to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500, the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 form a wave shape, and the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 divide the first channel 560 into two layers, and at this time, the liquid in the upper part of the first channel 560 is guided to flow in a wave shape toward the second curved plate 800 when encountering the solid part of the first curved plate 700. At this time, the upper liquid encounters the second through groove 810 of the second curved plate 800 and the solid part of the rotating plate 900. Then, the upper liquid flows from the upper part of the first channel 560 to the lower part of the first channel 560 through the second through groove 810 under the guidance of the solid part of the rotating plate 900.

[0061] At this time, since the liquid in the lower part of the first channel 560 encounters the solid part of the first curved plate 700, it is guided to flow in a wave-like manner toward the second curved plate 800, and then the lower liquid flows from the lower part of the first channel 560 to the upper part of the first channel 560 through the second through groove 810, thereby completing the mixing of the upper and lower liquids.

[0062] In this embodiment, a plurality of rotating shafts 505 are fixedly disposed in the first channel 560, and the plurality of rotating shafts 505 are sequentially distributed along the second direction, each rotating shaft 505 is disposed along the first direction, and each rotating shaft 505 is disposed between two arc-shaped flow channels 501. One end of the rotating plate 900 is rotatably disposed on the rotating shaft 505.

[0063] In this embodiment, each heat dissipation mechanism also includes a plurality of torsion springs, each of which is disposed on a rotating plate 900 , and the torsion springs connect the rotating plate 900 and the rotating shaft 505 , and the torsion springs are used to maintain the stability of the rotating plate 900 and prevent the rotating plate 900 from shaking randomly due to the influence of the water flow.

[0064] In this embodiment, a first liquid opening 506 is provided at one end of the first channel 560 close to the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500, and a second liquid opening 507 is provided at one end of the first channel 560 close to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500. The new energy battery module high-efficiency heat dissipation device also includes a first liquid pipeline 200 and a second liquid pipeline 300, which are respectively arranged along the first direction, and the first liquid pipeline 200 is arranged above the battery frame 100, and the first liquid pipeline 200 is connected to a plurality of first liquid openings 506. The second liquid pipeline 300 is arranged below the battery frame 100, and the second liquid pipeline 300 is connected to a plurality of second liquid openings 507. A water pump is arranged in the second liquid pipeline 300.

[0065] The temperature of the battery 400 has a first temperature range and a second temperature range, and the temperature value in the first temperature range is lower than the temperature value in the second temperature range. When the battery 400 is in the first temperature range, the second liquid pipeline 300 is the liquid inlet pipeline, the first liquid pipeline 200 is the liquid outlet pipeline, and the liquid flows from the second end to the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500. When the battery 400 is in the second temperature range, the first liquid pipeline 200 is the liquid inlet pipeline, the second liquid pipeline 300 is the liquid outlet pipeline, and the flow direction of the liquid is from the first end to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500.

[0066] In this embodiment, the new energy battery module high-efficiency heat dissipation device further includes a sensing mechanism, which includes a temperature sensor and a controller, wherein the temperature sensor is disposed on the battery frame 100 and is used to sense the temperature of the battery 400. The controller is used to control the pumping and drainage of the water pump.

[0067] Working process: When the temperature sensor senses that the battery 400 is in the first temperature range, the controller controls the water pump to drain water into the second liquid pipeline 300. The second liquid pipeline 300 is the liquid inlet pipeline, and the first liquid pipeline 200 is the liquid outlet pipeline. Figure 6 As shown (the direction of the arrow is the direction of liquid flow), the liquid flows from the second end to the first end of the liquid cooling plate 500.

[0068] At this time, under the driving force generated by the liquid flow, the rotating plate 900 is in the third state, the slide plate 600 is in the first state, the slide plate 600 and the inner wall of the first channel 560 are against each other, and the slide plate 600 blocks the liquid outlet 5012 to ensure that the liquid basically flows in the first channel 560, which can ensure smooth flow and improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0069] At the same time, the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 are separated from each other in the vertical direction, and the first curved plate 700 is located above the second curved plate 800. Most of the liquid in the first channel 560 flows in a wave-like manner under the guidance of the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800, thereby improving the mixing degree of the liquid in the first channel 560 and ensuring the uniformity of the liquid temperature and the consistency of the battery 400 temperature.

[0070] When the temperature sensor senses that the battery 400 is in the second temperature range, the controller controls the water pump to absorb water into the second liquid pipeline 300. The first liquid pipeline 200 is the liquid inlet pipeline, and the second liquid pipeline 300 is the liquid outlet pipeline. At this time, the flow direction of the liquid is from the first end to the second end of the liquid cooling plate 500. Figure 7 As shown (the direction of the arrow is the direction of liquid flow).

[0071] Due to the push of the liquid and the action of the inclined plate, the slide plate 600 is in the second state, and the liquid outlet 5012 is opened. At this time, part of the liquid will enter the arc-shaped flow channel 501 from the liquid inlet 5011 and flow out from the liquid outlet 5012 to improve the efficiency of heat dissipation for the battery 400. The liquid flowing out of the liquid outlet 5012 enters the space between the slide plate 600 and the inner wall of the first channel 560, and the liquid will produce a Venturi effect at the slide plate 600, that is, when the liquid passes through the reduced flow cross-section, the flow rate of the liquid will increase, and the pressure here will decrease, thereby generating suction on the liquid outlet 5012, and improving the flow capacity of the liquid in the arc-shaped flow channel 501.

[0072] Under the push of the liquid, the highest end of the first curved plate 700 and the highest end of the second curved plate 800 are at the same height, and the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 form a wave shape, and the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 divide the first channel 560 into two layers, upper and lower. Most of the liquid in the first channel 560 flows in a wave shape under the guidance of the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800.

[0073] The rotating plate 900 is in the fourth state under the push of the liquid, that is, the rotating plate 900 and the second curved plate 800 are tilted in the same direction. The liquid flowing out of the slide plate 600 is guided by the rotating plate 900, and under the action of the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800, it mixes with the liquid in the first channel 560 and flows in a wave-like manner.

[0074] The first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 are staggered hollowed out, wherein the rotating plate 900 and the first curved plate 700 are the same hollowed out. The hollowed out setting allows the first curved plate 700 and the second curved plate 800 to divide the first channel 560 into two layers, and the staggered hollowed out setting allows the first curved plate 700, the second curved plate 800 and the rotating plate 900 to all have a guiding effect, thereby further improving the mixing effect of the liquid flow and improving the uniformity of the liquid temperature.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
