[0018] First, through the setting of the rotating sleeve, when the rotating sleeve is driven to rotate, it will drive the meshing sleeve ring to rotate, thereby driving the fan to rotate. While the fan is rotating, it will blow the refrigerant gas of the refrigeration equipment outside the meshing sleeve ring back into the inside of the air outlet pipe, and blow it out through the air outlet to the cooling water flowing on the water curtain to reduce the heat of the circulating water. The temperature of the battery module is transferred through the heat conduction plate to allow the expansion fluid set inside the external box to expand and contract, drive the sealing slide to slide, and let the sealing slide drive the sliding piece to move to adjust the resistance value of the sliding rheostat, so that the refrigeration equipment can adjust the refrigeration power (cooling capacity), so that the expansion fluid expands or contracts through the heat change of the battery module, and adjusts the refrigeration capacity generated by the refrigeration equipment per unit time through expansion and contraction to cool the circulating cooling water, so that the cooling water maintains an appropriate temperature to cool the battery module, and avoids the situation where the cooling water temperature is too high and the subsequent cooling efficiency is insufficient.
[0019] Second, the expansion fluid is used to adjust the sliding amplitude of the slider, the sealing slide plate and the second bracket inside the external box, and in the process of the second turntable being driven to drive the linkage rod to rotate the first rotating disk and the rotating column, the expansion fluid is used to change the sliding amplitude of the slider, the sealing slide plate and the second bracket inside the external box through the heat of the battery module, and the second turntable drives the first rotating disk and the rotating column to rotate at different amplitudes through the linkage rod with different sliding amplitudes, so that the first rotating disk and the rotating column rotate at different amplitudes in the drainage pump and the water outlet pump to change the pumping flow rate of the cooling water, so that the cooling water circulates at different flow speeds inside the heat dissipation copper tube, thereby reducing the working temperature of the battery module.
[0020] Third, through the setting of thermistors, the thermistors can sense the temperature of the cooling gap and adjust the control device to send different resistance values to the electromagnet, so that the electromagnet generates different magnetic forces, attracts the diverter plate to move, and adjusts the flow rate of cooling water in the heat dissipation copper tube set in the cooling gap, so as to output different flow rates to the cooling gaps with higher heat, so that the operating temperature of the battery cells in each cooling gap tends to the optimal operating temperature.
[0021] The device can adjust the flow rate of circulating cooling water during the operation of the battery module, accelerate the circulation speed of cooling water to cool the battery module, and reduce the temperature of cooling water during long-term operation, so that the battery module temperature can be kept lowered to avoid the problem of insufficient subsequent cooling. Moreover, through the setting of thermistors, local heating problems in the battery module can be detected, and cooling water with a larger flow rate can be delivered to the excessively heated part by adjusting the shunt space to further cool it.

During the rotation of the connecting block 521 and the second linkage rod 522, since the second linkage rod 522 rotates along the edge of the connecting block 521, the second linkage rod 522 drives the first linkage rod 522 through the third linkage rod 415 during the rotation process. The rod 413 rotates, so that the first linkage rod 413 rotates with the axis of the rotating column 408 as the axis, so that the rotating column 408 drives the partition slide 409 to rotate together, and the partition slide 409 slides and contacts with the inner wall of the rotating column 408 while rotating. The multiple partition slides 409 arranged therebetween will divide the cooling water inside the drainage pump 402 into multiple parts, and as the partition slide 409 is driven by the rotating column 408 to rotate and is airtightly slidably connected with the inner walls of the drainage pump 402 and the outlet pump 403, the cooling water formed in multiple parts will eventually be pushed out, thereby driving the cooling water to flow;
[0053] It should be noted that two groups of second rotating disks 520 are provided, and each group of second rotating disks 520 is connected to the rotating gear 519 through a one-way bearing. The second rotating disk 520 that drives the rotating column 408 provided on the inner wall of the drainage pump 402 to rotate is C, and the second rotating disk 520 that drives the rotating column 408 provided on the inner wall of the water outlet pump 403 to rotate is D (see attached Fig.10), the lifting plate 517 will mesh with the rotating tooth 519 during the descent process, and the rotating tooth 519 will drive C to rotate through the one-way bearing as the lifting plate 517 descends, while the set D will not rotate through the one-way bearing. The lifting plate 517 will drive the rotating tooth 519 to rotate during the ascent process, and the rotating tooth 519 will drive D to rotate through the one-way bearing as the lifting plate 517 rises, while the set C will not rotate. Therefore, when the lifting plate 517 is driven to descend, it will drive the drainage pump 402, and the drainage pump 402 will pump out the cooling water in the heat dissipation copper tube 2 through the first connecting pipe 404. The pumped cooling water will be input into the water bag 406 through the first connecting pipe 404, and the inside of the water bag 406 will expand. The expanded water bag 406 will discharge the discharged cooling water into the inside of the water box 501 through the one-way valve 418 due to its own elasticity. When the cooling water enters the water box 501, it will disperse and flow into the water curtain 503, and then flow to the water-absorbing sponge 524 through the water outlet hole opened in the partition and be absorbed by the water-absorbing sponge 524. The water-absorbing sponge 524 will slowly expand when absorbing the cooling water. When the water-absorbing sponge 524 absorbs the cooling water, the cooling water backflow can be avoided. The driving end of the telescopic member 514 is extended and retracted to drive the pressure plate 523 to compress the water-absorbing sponge 524, so that the cooling water absorbed inside is transported to the inside of the second connecting pipe 405 (when the water-absorbing sponge 524 is compressed, part of the cooling water will flow back to the position of the water curtain 503 in the water box 501 through the water outlet hole. Because the refluxed cooling water is less and does not prevent most of the cooling water from flowing to the inside of the second connecting pipe 405 when the water-absorbing sponge 524 is compressed, after the reflux, due to the height difference set in the water box 501 (see attached Figure 8 ) The refluxed cooling water will still flow back through the water outlet hole and be absorbed by the water-absorbing sponge 524), and then be transported to the inside of the diversion box 602 through the rotating column 408 and the partition slide plate 409 driven to rotate inside the water outlet pump 403;
[0054] It should be noted that when the telescopic member 514 is extended and retracted, the telescopic part will simultaneously drive the slide bar 515 and the L-shaped gear rack 516 to rise and fall. When the L-shaped gear rack 516 is lowered, it will drive the rotating sleeve 506 to rotate through the setting of the rack. When the rotating sleeve 506 rotates, it will drive the meshing ring 509 and the fan 511 to rotate, and the refrigerant gas will be blown into the interior of the air outlet pipe 504 in the reverse direction, and blown onto the cooling water flowing in the water curtain 503 through the air outlet hole, so that the cooling water can be cooled down. In this way, when the heat of the cooling water increases when the battery cell works for a long time, the cooling performance is insufficient due to the increase in the heat of the cooling water. After the heat of the cooling water is reduced, when it is discharged into the inside of the diverter box 602 through the water outlet pump 403, the diverter box 602 can re-discharge the cooling water with reduced heat into the inside of the heat dissipation copper tube 2 for cooling.
[0055] It should also be explained that, through the setting of the heat conducting plate 3, the heat conducting plate 3 can transfer the heat of the battery cell 1 during operation to the sealing ring 407, and the sealing ring transfers the temperature to the external box 411 through the first rotating disk 410 during the heating process, so that the temperature inside the external box 411 increases, and the expansion liquid set inside the external box 411 expands, and the expanded liquid pushes the slider 412 to slide in the inner wall of the external box 411, pushing the slider 412, the sealing slide plate 414 and the first linkage rod 413 away from The axis of the first rotating disk 410 pushes the slider 412, the sealing slide plate 414 and the first linkage rod 413 to the edge of the first rotating disk 410. In this way, when the first linkage rod 413 is driven to drive the first rotating disk 410 to rotate, the rotation amplitude of the first rotating disk 410 will be maximized. Similarly, when the temperature of the battery module remains stable, the expansion fluid set in the external box 411 will not expand or the expansion amplitude will not change much, and the slider 412, the sealing slide plate 414 and the first linkage rod 413 will be It will slide inside the external box 411 to the center position close to the first rotating disk 410. When the first linkage rod 413 is driven to drive the first rotating disk 410 to rotate, the rotation amplitude will be synchronously reduced. When the first linkage rod 413 slides inside the external box 411 through the expansion fluid, the diameter of the third linkage rod 415 will also change. Through the telescopic block 416 and the first spring 417, the sliding elasticity of the telescopic block 416 and the first spring 417 can compensate for the diameter change of the third linkage rod 415, so as to avoid that the second linkage rod 522 cannot normally drive the first linkage rod 413, the first rotating disk 410 and the rotating column 408 to rotate through the third linkage rod 415. In this way, the heat generated by the battery cell 1 during operation can be transferred through the heat conducting plate 3 through the heat conducting plate 3, so as to adjust the power of the drainage pump 402 and the water outlet pump 403 when pumping cooling water, so that the rotating column 408 set by the drainage pump 402 and the water outlet pump 403 can accelerate the pumping speed of cooling water with different amplitudes of rotation, so as to accelerate or slow down the circulation of cooling water;
[0056] The temperature of the battery module is sensed by the heat conducting plate 3 to expand and contract the expansion fluid set inside the external box 411, thereby driving the slider 412, the sealing slider 414 and the first linkage rod 413 to slide inside the external box 411. When the sealing slider 414 slides, it will drive the slider to slide, thereby adjusting the resistance value of the sliding rheostat 502. The resistance adjusted by the sliding rheostat 502 will change the output power of the refrigeration equipment connected to the engagement ring 509. When the heat transferred by the battery monomer through the heat conducting plate 3 is high, the sliding amplitude of the sealing slider 414 will drive the resistance value of the sliding rheostat 502 to decrease, so the refrigeration power of the refrigeration equipment will increase. When the heat transferred by the battery monomer through the heat conducting plate 3 is low, the sliding amplitude of the sealing slider 414 will drive the resistance value of the sliding rheostat 502 to increase, and the refrigeration power of the refrigeration equipment will decrease, so that the refrigeration power of the refrigeration equipment is adaptively adjusted through the different heat of the battery monomer to cool the cooling water (the refrigeration equipment can use the semiconductor refrigeration plate in the prior art);
[0057] When the cooling water is discharged into the inside of the diverter box 602 through the water outlet pump 403, the thermistors arranged on the lower end surface of the heat conducting plate 3 respectively control the electromagnets 603. The thermistors can sense the temperature in the cooling gap to Fig.14 The three groups of heat dissipation copper tubes 2 arranged in the middle are used to illustrate that when the temperature of the heat dissipation copper tubes 2 on both sides is greater than the temperature of the heat dissipation copper tube 2 in the middle, the thermistor will change its resistance value as the temperature is too high. Therefore, when the temperature of the heat dissipation copper tubes 2 on both sides is too high, the resistance through the thermistor increases, thereby weakening the magnetic force of the electromagnet 603 due to the reduction of the current passing through the electromagnet 603, and the elastic force of the second spring 604 can push the shunt plate 605 to slide relatively close in the slide groove through the roller 606 to increase the flow of cooling water to the shunt space on both sides and weaken the delivery amount of the heat dissipation copper tube 2 at the position of the middle shunt space, so that the cooling water can flow inside the heat dissipation copper tubes 2 arranged on both sides to reduce the heat of the battery module. When the heat returns to normal, the thermistor will return to its initial resistance value, and the amount of electricity delivered to the electromagnet 603 will return to normal, so that the shunt plate 605 can slide inside the shunt box 602, so that the shunt space returns to its original position, and the cooling water can flow evenly to the three groups of heat dissipation copper tubes 2 respectively.

The heat dissipation copper tubes 2 will absorb the heat generated by the battery cells 1 when they are working, and the circulating cooling water will take away the passing heat during the circulating flow, thereby achieving the purpose of heat conversion and reducing the heat generated by the battery cells 1 when they are working.
