Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of liquid-cooled circulating aluminum battery trays, and in particular to a design method for a liquid-cooled circulating aluminum battery tray based on distributed liquid-cooling flow channel optimization and structural support. Background Art

[0002] In the existing liquid-cooled battery tray design, a single serpentine flow channel or a simple branch flow channel is usually used for cooling. The above-mentioned flow channel design allows the coolant to flow along a fixed path through a liquid cooling circulation system to take away the heat generated by the battery module, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the temperature. The tray structure is usually made of aluminum alloy material and is divided into a load-bearing structure and a cooling plate. The two are designed separately. The load-bearing structure is responsible for bearing the weight of the battery and providing the necessary strength, while the cooling plate provides heat dissipation for the battery. Such a design is generally assembled by welding or riveting during the manufacturing process. The structure is complex, the production process is cumbersome and the cost is high. The main goal of the prior art is to achieve basic heat dissipation and load-bearing functions through relatively simple cooling channels and mechanical support structures.

[0003] The existing technology has exposed some key defects in application. First, the serpentine flow channel design of the traditional liquid cooling tray is fixed and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the power density or heat load of different battery modules, resulting in uneven cooling and easy local overheating in high power density areas, which not only affects the service life of the battery but also leads to performance degradation and even safety hazards; secondly, the tray structure is too complicated, and the cooling plate and the load-bearing structure are separated, which increases the overall weight of the tray and reduces the lightweight level of the system. At the same time, it cannot effectively adapt to the needs of different application scenarios. When modular design is required to adapt to electric vehicles or energy storage systems with different power densities and sizes, the design flexibility of the existing tray is poor, and it is difficult to achieve efficient system integration.

[0004] In addition, the existing manufacturing process of liquid cooling trays is single, usually using welding and riveting processes, and lacks process combination optimization, resulting in high manufacturing costs and low production efficiency, which is not conducive to large-scale production applications. How to solve the above technical problems is the research direction that technical personnel in this field are committed to. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a liquid-cooled circulating aluminum battery tray design method, which aims to solve the problems of insufficient cooling efficiency, heavy tray structure, poor adaptability of modular design and high manufacturing cost by introducing innovative design of distributed liquid cooling flow channel optimization and structural support, and establishing a multi-stage evolutionary game model.

[0183] S66, finally, through multiple rounds of iterative game, when the cooling system integration mode and power density requirements reach Nash equilibrium, the optimal modular integration solution of the liquid cooling tray is determined to maximize the cooling performance, power density adaptability and system integration efficiency of the battery tray in different application scenarios. Example 1

[0184] In this example, the implementer considers a high-power density electric vehicle. The power density of the battery module used in the vehicle needs to reach 150W / kg. The design requires that its battery tray can operate stably under high power and maintain efficient heat dissipation performance under different ambient temperatures (hot urban roads in summer or long-term high-speed driving in mountainous areas). This embodiment demonstrates the advantages of applying a liquid-cooled battery tray to this scenario through design, optimization, simulation and performance evaluation.

[0185] Traditional design scheme: 1) The liquid cooling channel adopts a serpentine channel design with a fixed channel path. The coolant flows in from one end of the battery module and flows out from the other end; 2) The tray design adopts a design in which the aluminum alloy frame and the cooling plate are separated; 3) The production of the tray adopts a single welding process.

[0186] Adopt the design scheme of the present invention:

[0187] 1) A combination of multiple coolants (including water-based coolants and ethylene glycol-based coolants) was used, and different flow channel designs were carried out according to the changes in heat loads in different road conditions (urban, suburban, and mountainous areas). A distributed flow channel optimization design was adopted. Through a multi-stage evolutionary game model, the coolant flow channel was optimized according to the heat load distribution of the battery module, and the flow channel layout adopted a dynamic distributed multi-path layout. Through simulation, it was found that the coolant could evenly cover the entire battery module, and the flow path was automatically adjusted, so that the coolant flow in different areas could be adjusted in real time according to its heating conditions; 2) In the design of the tray structure, the support points and flow channels were integrated; 3) The production process of the tray was optimized through a multi-stage evolutionary game model, and a combination of riveting, laser welding and modular design was selected.

[0188] By comparison, the traditional design scheme has the following differences compared with the technical scheme of the present invention:

[0189] 1) The traditional design scheme adopts a serpentine flow channel design for the liquid cooling flow channel, which shows a large local overheating problem in the simulation, especially in the area far from the liquid inlet where the temperature difference is large. In the simulation operation, it is found that the temperature of the area closest to the liquid inlet in the battery module is maintained at about 35°C, while the temperature at the farthest end is as high as 48°C, which is obviously beyond the safe temperature range. In addition, the flow channel design has a fixed flow channel path and uneven distribution of the coolant, resulting in uneven heat dissipation. However, the distributed flow channel optimization design of the present invention is adopted. Through simulation, it is found that the coolant can evenly cover the entire battery module, and the flow path is automatically adjusted, so that the coolant flow in different areas can be adjusted in real time according to its heating situation. The optimized flow channel design keeps the highest temperature of the battery module at 38°C and the lowest temperature at 34°C. The temperature difference is greatly reduced to only 4°C, successfully avoiding the problem of local overheating.

[0190] 2) In the traditional solution, the tray design adopts a design scheme in which the aluminum alloy frame and the cooling plate are separated, which leads to the use of redundant materials and increases the weight burden. The weight of the entire tray is as high as 15kg, accounting for 20% of the total weight of the entire battery module. The design scheme of the present invention realizes the integrated design of the support point and the flow channel. The support point not only plays the role of supporting the battery module, but also serves as an auxiliary part of the coolant flow channel, reducing the material usage in the structure. The weight of the optimized tray is only 9.8kg, successfully realizing the lightweight design and reducing the weight by nearly 35%;

[0191] 3) In the traditional solution, a single welding process was used, which resulted in high production costs and low production efficiency. However, the technical solution of the present invention selected a combination of riveting, laser welding and modular design. During the process of process optimization, the implementers compared the production efficiency and material loss of different processes and finally determined the best process combination. After simulation calculation, the optimized production process not only reduced the manufacturing cost by 20%, but also increased the production efficiency by 30%. The production time of each pallet was shortened from the original 7.5 hours to 5.2 hours.

[0192] In order to further prove the feasibility of the design method of the present invention, the implementers conducted simulation tests in multiple scenarios. The test sites were selected on mountain roads in Beijing, Guangzhou and Yunnan, and the time was August 2024. In the simulation test, the extreme conditions of urban congested road conditions, high-speed driving and long-term climbing in mountainous areas were simulated.

[0193] The test shows that after the electric vehicle using the pallet made by the traditional design runs for 2 hours in a high temperature environment, the battery temperature reaches above 45°C, the heat dissipation effect is poor, and the battery performance decreases by about 15%. However, for the electric vehicle using the pallet design of the present invention, after testing for the same time and road conditions, the battery temperature is always maintained below 37°C, the temperature difference is controlled within 4°C, the battery performance only decreases by 5%, and the heat dissipation performance is excellent.

[0194] The following table shows the comparison data between the method of the present invention and the traditional method under different road conditions:

[0195]

[0196] The above test data show that the liquid-cooled circulating aluminum battery tray design of the present invention exhibits significant heat dissipation advantages in various test scenarios. Not only is the temperature difference reduced, but the energy efficiency decline is also greatly reduced, which effectively improves the stability and performance of electric vehicles under high-load operation. At the same time, in terms of manufacturing process, the present invention reduces production costs and improves production efficiency by optimizing the process combination, further verifying the feasibility and effectiveness of the design of the present invention.

[0197] In summary, through the simulation process and data comparison of this embodiment, it is clearly demonstrated that the present invention has significant advantages in heat dissipation performance, structural optimization, manufacturing process and energy efficiency improvement, solves many problems in the prior art, and has broad application prospects.

[0198] It should be emphasized that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the case.
