[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0025] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0026] Embodiment 1: A sealed liquid cooling device for energy storage battery packs, such as Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, it includes a cooling support assembly 1, and an integrated outlet end cover 2 and an integrated inlet end cover 6 are respectively provided on both sides of the cooling support assembly 1, and a circulating pump 3 is provided on the other side of the integrated outlet end cover 2. The other side of the circulating pump 3 and the other side of the integrated inlet end cover 6 are respectively connected to the same heat dissipation mechanism 5 through a circulating pipe 4, and the cooling support assembly 1, the integrated outlet end cover 2, the circulating pipe 4, and the heat dissipation mechanism 5 are all filled with coolant.
[0027] The cooling bracket assembly 1 includes a frame 8 and end covers 9 fixed to both sides of the frame 8 by bolts, a plurality of columns of battery cells 12 are fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the frame 8, a spacer block 10 is fixed between two adjacent frames 8 in the same column, and a heat dissipation channel 11 is provided between the two adjacent columns of frames 8 of the frame 8, and the contact surfaces between the frame 8 and the end covers 9, between the battery cells 12 and the battery cells 12, between the battery cells 12 and the spacer block 10, and between the spacer block 10 and the frame 8 are all sealed with sealant.
[0028] The integrated outlet end cover 2 has the same structure as the integrated inlet end cover 6 , and both include an integrated cover 17 fixed to the side of the frame 8 , a main channel 21 opened on the inner wall of the integrated cover 17 , and a plurality of branch channels 23 opened on the inner wall of the integrated cover 17 and corresponding in position and number to the heat dissipation channel 11 , and the branch channels 23 are connected to the main channel 21 .
[0029] When the device is in use, the circulating pump 3 is started to drive the coolant to circulate, and the coolant enters the heat dissipation channel 11 through the integrated inlet end cover 6, directly contacts the side of the battery cell 12, and takes away the heat of the battery cell 12 through heat exchange, and then the coolant is discharged from the integrated outlet end cover 2, and after circulating through the circulating pump 3 again, it enters the heat dissipation mechanism 5 to cool down, and then the coolant circulates again after cooling down.
[0030] The device adopts a sealed design and provides a heat dissipation channel 11 between adjacent battery cells 12, so that the coolant can directly contact the side wall of the battery cell 12. On the one hand, the liquid coolant can have a larger contact area with the side of the battery cell 12 without dead angles. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity of the coolant is also high, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect of the battery cell 12 and ensuring the reliable operation of the entire battery pack.
[0031] In order to solve the problem of reliable heat dissipation of high local heat generation; Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the branch channel 23 is rotatably connected to the ball core 20 through the connecting shaft 15, the heat pipe 13 is fixed inside the heat dissipation channel 11, and the inner wall of the integrated cover 17 is provided with a sensing cavity 18 connected to the heat pipe 13, the inner wall of the sensing cavity 18 is slidably connected to the piston 14, the side wall of the piston 14 is buckled with a spring 16, and the other end of the spring 16 is buckled to the inner wall of the sensing cavity 18.
[0032] A gear 19 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 15, and a rack 22 is meshed on the outer wall of the gear 19. The rack 22 is fixed to the end of the piston 14 by bolts.
[0033] The interior of the heat conducting tube 13 is filled with a mixed gas of nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen tetroxide.
[0034] When the entire battery pack is in use, the charge and discharge power of each battery cell 12 and whether it is working are controlled by the circuit board or the driving computer. This may result in different heat release of local batteries 12 or different heat generation of all batteries 12. At this time, if the cooling effect is the same, there will be insufficient local cooling or waste of local cooling resources. Based on this: When the device is in use, when the battery cells 12 on both sides of the heat dissipation channel 11 are not working, the temperature of the inner cavity of the heat dissipation channel 11 is low, and the temperature of the inner cavity of the heat conduction pipe 13 is also low. On the one hand, the nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen tetroxide shrink by themselves, and on the other hand, their chemical equilibrium moves toward the direction of generating nitrogen tetroxide, thereby reducing the gas volume in the inner cavity of the heat conduction pipe 13, reducing the pressure, and reducing the pressure acting on the piston 14. The piston 14 moves to the side close to the heat conduction pipe 13 under the elastic force of the spring 16. At this time, the ball core 20 rotates to a state where the branch channel 23 is blocked, and the heat dissipation channel 13 is closed. No coolant passes through the heat dissipation channel 11. When the inner cavity temperature of the heat dissipation channel 11 increases, the gas volume in the heat conduction pipe 13 will also increase, thereby increasing the pressure. The piston 14 will be moved away from the heat conduction pipe 13 under pressure, thereby driving the ball core 20 to rotate through the rack 22 and the gear 19, so that the heat dissipation channel 11 is connected with the main channel 21, and the coolant passes through the heat dissipation channel 11. When the temperature in the heat dissipation channel 11 is higher, the movement distance of the piston 14 is greater, thereby making the opening of the ball core 20 larger and the amount of coolant flowing through the heat dissipation channel 11 larger.
[0035] The device controls the opening by setting the ball core 20, and combines the temperature sensing of the inner cavity of the heat dissipation channel 11 by the mixed gas in the heat conduction pipe 13, so that the higher the temperature of the inner cavity of the heat dissipation channel 11, the greater the flow rate of the coolant in the heat dissipation channel 11, and the lower the temperature of the inner cavity of the heat dissipation channel 11, the smaller the flow rate of the coolant, thereby realizing adaptive regulation of heat generation and heat dissipation.
[0036] In addition, by setting the mixed gas in the heat pipe 13 to be a mixture of nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen tetroxide, the device can utilize the thermal expansion and contraction characteristics of the gas itself on the one hand, and the volume change caused by the chemical equilibrium shift on the other hand, so that the mixed gas is more sensitive to temperature, thereby making the drive control of the ball core 20 more sensitive, thereby increasing the reliability of use.
[0037] In order to solve the problem of reliable cooling; Figure 5As shown, the heat dissipation mechanism 5 includes a storage box 24 connected to the opposite side of the two circulation pipes 4 and fixed to the side wall of the cooling bracket assembly 1, and a semiconductor refrigeration sheet 25 fixed to the inner wall of the opening of the storage box 24. The sealed space formed by the storage box 24 and the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 25 is filled with hydraulic oil. The two circulation pipes 4 are connected by a plurality of branch pipes 27, and the branch pipes 27 pass through the interior of the storage box 24. The cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 25 faces the interior of the storage box 24, and the heat generating surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 25 is fixed with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 26.
[0038] When the high-temperature coolant flows through the branch pipe 27, it transfers heat to the coolant in the storage box 24 through heat exchange. At this time, the semiconductor refrigeration chip 25 is started to cool the coolant in the storage box 24. At the same time, the heat generated on the other side of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 25 is dissipated into the air through the heat dissipation fins 26.
[0039] The device, by configuring the heat dissipation mechanism 5 as a storage box 24, a semiconductor cooling sheet 25, a heat dissipation fin 26 and a branch pipe 27, can divert and dissipate the coolant in the circulation pipe 4 through a plurality of branch pipes 27, thereby increasing the contact area between the coolant in the branch pipe 27 and the coolant in the storage box 24, and increasing the heat transfer rate.
[0040] In order to solve the adaptive control problem of heat dissipation efficiency; Figure 1 , Figure 6-Figure 12 As shown, the top of the cooling support assembly 1 is provided with a power regulating mechanism 7 for controlling the power of the circulation pump 3 according to the temperature of the integrated outlet end cover 2 and the pressure of the integrated inlet end cover 6. The power regulating mechanism 7 controls the power of the circulation pump 3 in a logic including the following steps: S1: When the coolant pressure of the integrated inlet end cover 6 increases, the opening of the integrated outlet end cover 2 and the ball core 20 in the integrated inlet end cover 6 is small, and the power of the circulating pump 3 is large relative to the required flow rate. At this time, the power regulating mechanism 7 controls the circulating pump 3 to reduce the power, thereby reducing the flow rate of the coolant and preventing the waste of electric energy caused by the power redundancy of the circulating pump 3; S2: When the temperature of the coolant in the integrated outlet end cover 2 is relatively high, it means that the heat generated by the battery cell 12 is large and a higher heat dissipation efficiency is required. At this time, the power regulating mechanism 7 controls the power of the circulation pump 3 to increase the flow rate of the coolant to ensure reliable heat dissipation.
[0041] Specifically, the power regulating mechanism 7 includes a heat-conducting induction tube 28, a cylinder body 30 and a lever 33. The heat-conducting induction tube 28 is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the integrated cover 17 of the integrated outlet end cover 2, and the two ends of the heat-conducting induction tube 28 are fixed and connected to the same cylinder body 29. The cylinder body 30 is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of the integrated cover 17 of the integrated inlet end cover 6, and the cylinder body 30 is connected to the integrated cover 17. The inner walls of the cylinder bodies 29 and 30 are both slidably connected with pistons 31. The top outer wall of the piston 31 is fixed with a piston frame 32 by bolts. The top inner wall of the piston frame 32 is provided with a strip groove 35. The two ends of the lever 33 are respectively limited by a limiting rod 34 to the inner wall of the strip groove 35.
[0042] The heat-conductive induction tube 28 is filled with a mixed gas of nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen tetroxide.
[0043] A second strip groove 36 is formed in the middle of the lever 33 , and a slider 38 is movably connected to the inner wall of the second strip groove 36 via a second limiting rod 37 , and the slider 38 is slidably connected to the top of the end cover 9 .
[0044] An electrode head 39 is fixed to the side wall of the slider 38, and an iron core 41 is fixed to the top outer wall of the end cover 9 through an insulating bracket. Coil 1 40 and coil 1 40 are respectively wound on the outer walls of both sides of the iron core 41. Coil 1 40 is externally connected to an AC power supply. The electrode head 39 is in contact with the outer wall of coil 2 42 and is electrically conductive. The bottom end of coil 2 42 and the electrode head 39 are respectively connected to the two terminal blocks of the circulating pump 3.
[0045] The connection points of the two piston racks 32 and the lever 33, and the connection points of the lever 33 and the slider 38 form three collinear points. When the temperature of the coolant at the integrated outlet end cover 2 increases, the temperature of the mixed gas in the thermal induction tube 28 will also increase, thereby causing the piston 2 31 in the cylinder body 29 to rise, thereby causing the lever 33 to rotate and causing the slider 38 to rise. At the same time, when the coolant pressure in the integrated inlet end cover 6 increases, the inner cavity pressure of the cylinder body 29 will also increase, which will also cause the lever 33 to rotate and cause the slider 38 to rise. When the slider 38 rises, the contact position between the electrode head 39 and the coil 2 42 changes, thereby increasing the number of turns of the coil 2 42 connected to the circuit, increasing the induced electromotive force, and increasing the input voltage of the circulating pump 3.
[0046] The device is provided with a power regulating mechanism 7, which, on the one hand, utilizes thermal expansion to sense the coolant temperature of the integrated outlet end cover 2, and on the other hand utilizes the piston 2 31 to directly sense the pressure of the integrated inlet end cover 6, and then uses this as a driving force to act on the lever 33, and combines the "transformer" principle to change the power of the circulating pump 3, thereby realizing the self-sensing and self-driving functions of the power of the circulating pump 3 and the temperature of the integrated outlet end cover 2 and the pressure of the integrated inlet end cover 6.
[0047] When the present embodiment is in use, the circulating pump 3 is started to drive the coolant to circulate, and the coolant enters the heat dissipation channel 11 through the integrated inlet end cover 6, directly contacts the side of the battery cell 12, and takes away the heat of the battery cell 12 through heat exchange, and then the coolant is discharged from the integrated outlet end cover 2, and after circulating through the circulating pump 3 again, it enters the heat dissipation mechanism 5 to cool down, and then the coolant circulates again after cooling. When the battery cells 12 on both sides of the heat dissipation channel 11 are not working, the inner cavity temperature of the heat dissipation channel 11 is low at this time, and the inner cavity temperature of the heat conducting pipe 13 is also low. On the one hand, nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen tetroxide shrink by themselves, and on the other hand, their chemical equilibrium will tend to generate nitrogen tetroxide. The piston 14 is moved in the direction of the nitrous oxide, thereby reducing the volume of the gas in the inner cavity of the heat pipe 13, reducing the pressure, and reducing the pressure acting on the piston 14. The piston 14 is moved to the side close to the heat pipe 13 by the elastic force of the spring 16. At this time, the ball core 20 rotates to the state of blocking the branch channel 23. No coolant passes through the heat dissipation channel 11. When the inner cavity temperature of the heat dissipation channel 11 increases, the volume of the gas in the heat pipe 13 will also increase, thereby increasing the pressure. The piston 14 is moved in the direction away from the heat pipe 13 by the pressure, thereby driving the ball core 20 to rotate through the rack 22 and the gear 19, so that the heat dissipation channel 11 is connected to the main channel 21, and the coolant passes through the heat dissipation channel 11. When the temperature in the heat dissipation channel 11 is higher, the moving distance of the piston 14 is greater, so that the opening of the ball core 20 is larger, and the amount of coolant flowing through the heat dissipation channel 11 is larger. When the high-temperature coolant flows through the branch pipe 27, it transfers heat to the coolant in the storage box 24 through heat exchange. At this time, the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 25 is started, which can cool the coolant in the storage box 24. At the same time, the heat generated on the other side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 25 is dissipated into the air through the heat dissipation fins 26. The connection points of the two piston racks 32 and the lever 33, and the connection points of the lever 33 and the slider 38 are connected. points, forming three points in a collinear line. When the temperature of the coolant at the integrated outlet end cover 2 increases, the temperature of the mixed gas in the thermal induction tube 28 will also increase, which will cause the piston 2 31 in the cylinder 1 29 to rise, thereby causing the lever 33 to rotate and the slider 38 to rise. At the same time, when the coolant pressure in the integrated inlet end cover 6 increases, the inner cavity pressure of the cylinder 1 29 will also increase, which will also cause the lever 33 to rotate and the slider 38 to rise. When the slider 38 rises, the contact position between the electrode head 39 and the coil 2 42 changes, thereby increasing the number of turns of the coil 2 42 connected to the circuit, increasing the induced electromotive force, and increasing the input voltage of the circulating pump 3.
[0048] Embodiment 2: A sealed liquid cooling process for energy storage battery packs, such as Figure 1-Figure 12 As shown, the following steps are included: A1: Equipment installation, assemble the equipment with the battery cell 12 and ensure that all parts are sealed; A2: charging and discharging operation, using the battery cell 12 to perform charging and discharging operations; A3: Adaptive cooling, start the circulation pump 3 and the heat dissipation mechanism 5, and perform adaptive control of liquid cooling on the entire cooling process.
