Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of liquid cooling structures, and in particular relates to a cooling medium radial flushing type cylindrical battery immersion type thermal management module. Background Art

[0002] Battery thermal management technologies include air cooling technology, liquid cooling technology, phase change material cooling technology, heat pipe cooling technology and a combination of the above cooling technologies. Among them, liquid cooling technology has the advantages of high heat transfer efficiency, fast cooling speed and compact structure. Liquid cooling technology can be divided into direct cooling technology and indirect cooling technology according to the contact method between the coolant and the battery. Among them, since the coolant of the immersion cooling technology is in direct contact with the battery and there is no contact thermal resistance, the immersion battery thermal management system has a higher heat transfer efficiency. Immersion cooling technology is divided into series cooling and parallel cooling according to the coolant flow channels. Among them, in the parallel cooling flow channels, the coolant will be diverted in advance before entering different flow channels, and then enter the cavity separately, which makes the heat dissipation more efficient, but the flow channel system is complex. Under the same medium cooling method, the cooling effect of parallel cooling is better than that of series cooling.

[0003] Large cylindrical batteries increase the energy density and charge and discharge rate of batteries. At the same time, as the battery size increases, the number of batteries required for the battery pack will also decrease, and a smaller number can also reduce the difficulty of battery management. Therefore, large cylindrical batteries have broad application prospects in the fields of electric vehicles and electrochemical energy storage. Since large cylindrical batteries will have a large circumferential gap when arranged in groups, how to reasonably use this gap to arrange battery thermal management system components and take into account the improvement of the energy density of the battery module and the performance of the battery thermal management system has become a very valuable exploration direction.

[0004] Conventional series flow immersion battery thermal management system, such as the conventional series flow immersion battery thermal management system described in the literature Numerical study on heat dissipation performance of a lithium-ion battery module based on immersion cooling (Journal of Energy Storage, 66 (2023) 107511, https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.est.2023.107511), such as Figure 1As shown, multiple battery cells are completely immersed in the liquid contained in the battery shell, and the cooling medium enters the box body from the inlet of one side wall of the box body and flows out of the box body from the outlet of the other side wall. The medium flows through each battery cell in a serial flow in the box body. Although this method utilizes the convection heat exchange between the medium and the battery side wall to improve the heat transfer coefficient, there is a large temperature difference between the upstream and downstream mediums, and the degree of cooling of battery cells at different positions is different, which will inevitably lead to inconsistent battery cell temperature ranges and a large battery temperature difference; at the same time, the coolant does not flow sufficiently between the battery cells, and the convection heat exchange area with the battery cells in some areas is small, which is not conducive to the improvement of the overall heat transfer coefficient, and the reduction of the maximum temperature of the battery is limited. Figure 1 It is a conventional series-flow immersion battery thermal management system.

[0005] In addition, the baffle-baffled immersion battery thermal management system described in the document Channel structure design and optimization for immersion cooling system of lithium-ion batteries (Journal of Energy Storage 2024) (Journal of Energy Storage, 77 (2024) 109930, https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.est.2023.109930) sets baffles in the channel through which the working fluid flows. The optimal baffle setting method obtained by the study is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the height of the upper vertical partition and the lower vertical partition are both 34 mm and the thickness is 1 mm. This structural design can simplify the structure of the battery thermal management system as much as possible without affecting the compactness of the battery. Such a baffle structure design can disrupt the flow path of the coolant, while increasing the degree of turbulence, enhancing heat transfer and improving temperature uniformity. However, in local areas of the battery, there may still be local battery surface areas where there is no direct flushing flow of the heat dissipating medium, resulting in the temperature of the local area of ​​the battery not being adjusted in time, affecting the reduction of evaluation indicators such as the maximum temperature and maximum temperature difference of the entire immersion thermal management system.

[0006] Moreover, the battery's tabs are the main factor affecting the uneven temperature distribution and local excessive temperature of this type of battery. During the battery discharge process, the electrochemical reaction rate and heat generation rate in the area close to the tab end are both high, and this unevenness becomes more significant as the discharge rate increases. Especially under high current charging and discharging, there is an uneven distribution of physical and chemical properties inside the battery, especially at the connection between the tab and the battery cell, which easily forms a large gradient distribution of potential, current density and heat generation rate. The existing immersion battery thermal management system can achieve simultaneous heat dissipation of the battery body and its tabs, but has not given special attention to the heat dissipation of the tabs where the local temperature is higher. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooling medium radial flushing cylindrical battery immersion thermal management module in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0008] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:

[0009] The present invention provides a cooling medium radial flushing type cylindrical battery immersion thermal management module, comprising a battery box, a plurality of evenly arranged cylindrical batteries vertically arranged in the battery box, and a cooling medium drainage system, wherein slender tubes are vertically arranged in the gaps between adjacent cylindrical batteries, and the slender tubes output the cooling medium in the tubes as a plurality of flow beams, each cylindrical battery corresponds to a plurality of flow beams distributed vertically and with increasing distribution density from bottom to top, and each flow beam is flushed radially along the corresponding cylindrical battery to the outer wall of the cylindrical battery.

[0014] As a further optimization solution of the present invention, the number of the side lines of the polygon is consistent with the number of the cylindrical batteries outside the slender tube, and each side line is directly opposite to the corresponding cylindrical battery.

[0015] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, a plurality of ejection outlets corresponding to the horizontal narrow openings are provided on the outer wall of the slender tube with a circular or regular polygonal cross section, and the ejection outlets are in a horizontally gradually expanding trumpet-shaped structure.

[0016] As a further optimization scheme of the present invention, the cooling medium drainage system includes an upper partition and a lower partition arranged in the battery box, and the upper partition cooperates with the lower partition to divide the inner cavity of the battery box into three parts: an upper cavity for cooling medium outflow, a middle cavity of the battery pack, and a lower cavity for cooling medium inflow. All cylindrical batteries and slender tubes are located in the middle cavity of the battery pack, the lower end face of the slender tube is an open end, and the upper end face is a closed end, and a lower through hole is opened in the lower partition that is one-to-one connected with the open end.

This cooling medium drainage path allows the fresh cooling medium to be flushed along the radial direction of the cylindrical battery to the outer wall of the cylindrical battery after being ejected from the slender tubes in parallel.

Figure 5-11 shown.

[0046] The cylindrical batteries 2 are arranged in sequence, such as Figure 5 As shown, the cross section of the elongated tube 3 is any one of a circle, a regular quadrilateral, and an indented quadrilateral with four sides of equal length and uniform indentation, wherein each side of the regular quadrilateral and the indented quadrilateral is respectively opposite to the corresponding cylindrical battery 2, the number of the horizontal narrow openings 33 in the horizontal direction is four, and the four horizontal narrow openings 33 correspond one by one to the four cylindrical batteries 2 on the periphery of the elongated tube 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 7-9 As shown, the outer wall of the elongated tube 3 with a circular or regular quadrilateral cross section is provided with a plurality of ejection outlets 34 corresponding to the horizontal elongated openings 33 one by one, and the ejection outlets 34 are in a horizontal gradually expanding trumpet-shaped structure, such as Figure 10-11 As shown, the cooling medium rushes out through the horizontal narrow opening 33 and then flushes the outer surface of the cylindrical battery 2 in the radial direction.

[0047] The cooling medium drainage system includes an upper partition 11 and a lower partition 12 arranged in the battery box 1, and the upper partition 11 cooperates with the lower partition 12 to divide the inner cavity of the battery box 1 into three parts: an upper cavity 13 for cooling medium to flow out, a middle cavity 14 of the battery pack, and a lower cavity 15 for cooling medium to flow in. The battery box 1 is provided with a medium outlet 13a that matches with the cooling medium to flow out of the upper cavity 13 and a medium inlet 15a that matches with the cooling medium to flow into the lower cavity 15. All cylindrical batteries 2 and slender tubes 3 are located in the middle cavity 14 of the battery pack. The lower end face of the slender tube 3 is an open end 31 and the upper end face is a closed end 32. The lower partition 12 is provided with a lower through hole 12a that is one-to-one connected with the open end 31. Figure 3 , 4 shown.

There is a spacing of 2-5mm between the upper separator 11 and the upper surface of the cylindrical battery 2, and the value in this example is 2mm.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] Different from the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the cylindrical batteries 2 are arranged in a staggered manner, such as Fig.12 As shown, the cross section of the elongated tube 3 is any one of a circle, a regular triangle, and an indented triangle with three sides of equal length and uniform indentation, wherein each side of the regular triangle and the indented triangle is respectively facing the corresponding cylindrical battery 2, the number of the horizontal narrow openings 33 in the horizontal direction is three, and the three horizontal narrow openings 33 correspond one to one to the three cylindrical batteries 2 on the periphery of the elongated tube 3, as shown in FIG.

[0052] During the working process of the cooling medium, the low-temperature liquid cooling medium enters the lower chamber 15 from the medium inlet 15a on one side of the battery box 1, enters the slender tube 3 through the lower through hole 12a, and gushes out from the horizontal narrow opening 33 on the slender tube 3, or is guided through the ejection outlet 34, radially flushes the outer side of each cylindrical battery 2 to enhance the heat dissipation effect, and flows upward through the gap between the upper surface of the cylindrical battery 2 and the upper partition 11, and the gap between the upper through hole 11a and the upper pole ear 21, to achieve flushing and heat dissipation of the upper pole ear 21 and the battery pack electrical connection components. Then, the cooling medium that enters and flows out of the upper chamber 13 is discharged from the medium outlet 13a, thereby carrying and discharging the heat of the battery pack.

[0053] verify:

[0054] In order to compare the superiority of the battery thermal management system of the present invention, four structural schemes are set in this experimental example:

[0055] (1) Solution 1: Conventional serial flow immersion battery thermal management system, i.e., “Background Technology” document Numerical study on heat dissipation performance of a lithium-ion battery module based on immersion cooling (Journal of Energy Storage, 66 (2023) 107511,

[0056] https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.est.2023.107511) scheme, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery pack is composed of a battery box 1 and cylindrical batteries 2, and the battery pack is a staggered arrangement structure. A working fluid inlet 15a is opened at the bottom of one side wall of the battery box 1, and a working fluid outlet 13a is opened at the top of the other side wall. The working fluid enters the battery box 1 from the working fluid inlet 13a, flows through the cylindrical batteries 2 in series in sequence, achieving the effect of immersion cooling, and then flows out from the working fluid outlet 15a.

[0057] (2) Scheme 2: Baffle-baffled immersion battery thermal management system, i.e., the scheme in the “background technology” document Channel structure design and optimization for immersion cooling system of lithium-ion batteries (Journal of Energy Storage 2024) (Journal of Energy Storage, 77 (2024) 109930, https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.est.2023.109930), such as Figure 2 As shown, the battery pack is a staggered arrangement structure. An upper vertical baffle 41 and a lower vertical baffle 42 are set in the working medium flow channel, each with a height of 34 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. The purpose of the baffle design is to disrupt the flow path of the coolant, increase the turbulence, enhance heat transfer and improve temperature uniformity.

[0058] (3) Scheme 3: A cylindrical battery immersion thermal management module based on a height gradient fin sleeve, that is, Scheme 6 in the embodiment of the invention patent with application number 2024107979473, the battery pack is a staggered arrangement structure, the working fluid flows in and out in a parallel flow manner, and the heat dissipation sleeve 51 and the height gradient fin 52 are installed on the battery. Immersion cooling system, such as Fig.16 shown.

[0059] (4) Solution 4: In the staggered arrangement structure of the battery pack of Example 2 of the present application, the cross-sectional shape of the slender tube 3 is a concave triangle with three sides of equal length and uniform concave.

[0060] The numerical simulation was carried out under the conditions of 3 times discharge rate, equal coolant inlet flow, same cylindrical battery heat generation, and considering the high heat dissipation effect of the battery ear. The calculation results are as follows: Fig.17 , 18 shown.

[0061] Fig.17 This is a comparison chart of the maximum temperature and maximum temperature difference of the battery in the module under different structural schemes at the end of discharge under the condition of 3 times discharge rate and starting temperature of 30℃; Fig.18 It is a comparison of the temperature cloud diagrams of the batteries in the module under different structural schemes at the end of discharge at a 3x discharge rate and a starting temperature of 30°C.

[0062] from Fig.17 It can be seen that at the end of discharge at a 3-fold discharge rate, the maximum temperature and the maximum temperature difference of Schemes 1 to 4 all show a decreasing trend, that is, the heat transfer coefficient of the immersion cooling gradually increases. Scheme 4, that is, the immersion cooling heat transfer coefficient of the design scheme of the present invention is relatively the largest, and its cooling speed for battery 2 is the fastest, and the corresponding maximum temperature of battery 2 reaches the lowest value.

[0063] Combination Fig.17 , 18 It can be seen that the temperature cloud maps of the batteries in the module under different structural schemes at the end of discharge at a 3-fold discharge rate are quite different. It can be seen from the maximum temperature of the battery pack marked in the upper left corner of each scheme and the minimum temperature of the battery pack marked in the lower right corner that Scheme 4 is the best scheme. Under this scheme, the maximum temperature of the battery at the end of discharge at a 3-fold discharge rate is 31.4°C, and the maximum temperature difference is 1.4°C. This further illustrates that a cylindrical battery immersion thermal management module with radial flushing of a cooling medium in the present application can significantly improve the cooling capacity of the coolant on the battery, so that the maximum temperature of the battery including the upper pole ear is further reduced, while significantly improving the temperature uniformity of the battery pack.

[0064] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
