[0044] The present application provides a battery pack, such as Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the battery pack includes a battery module 2 and a water cooling pipeline 3, the water cooling pipeline 3 includes a spray pipeline 31, the spray pipeline 31 includes a first tube 311 and a second tube 312, the first tube 311 is sleeved outside the second tube 312, the temperature resistance of the first tube 311 is greater than that of the second tube 312, and a spray hole 313 is opened on the first tube 311; the battery module 2 includes a plurality of battery cells, the battery cells include a first explosion-proof valve 23, and each battery cell is correspondingly provided with a spray hole 313, and the spray hole 313 faces the first explosion-proof valve 23. When a battery cell has thermal runaway, high-temperature flames and gases are sprayed out from the first explosion-proof valve 23, thereby burning the second tube 312 through the spray hole 313, and at this time, the coolant is sprayed into the interior of the battery cell through the spray hole and the first explosion-proof valve 23, so as to achieve rapid cooling of the battery cell in thermal runaway, thereby reducing the risk of fire or explosion of the battery pack.

[0045] Furthermore, the temperature resistance of the first tube 311 exceeds 1000° C., and the temperature resistance of the second tube 312 does not exceed 200° C. In this way, when thermal runaway occurs, only the position of the second tube 312 corresponding to the spray hole 313 is burned out.

[0046] Preferably, the first tube 311 may be made of mica, and the second tube 312 may be made of nylon.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the water cooling pipeline 3 is located at the top of the multiple battery modules 2, and the water cooling pipeline 3 includes multiple spray pipes 31. The multiple spray pipes 31 are parallel, and the head end of the second tube 312 in one of the two adjacent spray pipes 31 is connected to the tail end of the second tube 312 in the other spray pipe 31 through the connecting pipe 32, and the second tube 312 in the spray pipe 31 located at the head end and the second tube 312 in the spray pipe 31 located at the tail end are both connected to the liquid cooling plate 4. The multiple spray pipes 31 are arranged in the above manner, so that the first explosion-proof valve 23 of each battery cell in the multiple battery modules 2 corresponds to a spray hole 313, so as to ensure that when any battery cell has thermal runaway, the second tube 312 is burned out at the position corresponding to the spray hole 313 of the battery cell, and the coolant is sprayed into the interior of the battery cell through the spray hole 313 and the first explosion-proof valve 23, so as to achieve rapid cooling of the battery cell with thermal runaway.

[0048] like Figure 4 and Fig.11As shown, the water cooling pipeline 3 also includes two installation pipes 33, and the second pipe 312 in the spray pipe 31 at the head end and the second pipe 312 in the spray pipe 31 at the tail end are respectively connected to the liquid cooling plate 4 through the two installation pipes 33. Preferably, the plurality of second pipes 312, the connecting pipes 32 and the installation pipes 33 can be integrally formed.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Fig.11 As shown, the battery pack also includes a liquid cooling plate 4, and both ends of the water cooling pipe 3 are connected to the liquid cooling plate 4 respectively. In this way, the water cooling pipe 3 can share the coolant with the liquid cooling plate 4, that is, the water cooling pipe 3 and the vehicle thermal management system share the coolant, and no additional coolant is needed in the vehicle, and the weight and cost of the vehicle will not increase. At the same time, the coolant has the characteristic of high latent heat of vaporization, and a small amount of coolant can quickly reduce the temperature of the battery cell, further reducing the risk of fire or explosion when the battery pack is thermally runaway.

[0050] Preferably, the vehicle's thermal management system needs to use a coolant with low conductivity to prevent high-voltage arcing.

[0051] like Figure 7 and Fig.11 As shown, the liquid cooling plate 4 includes a liquid cooling body 41, a first connecting pipe 42 and a second connecting pipe 43, the first connecting pipe 42 and the second connecting pipe 43 are both connected to the liquid cooling body 41, and the two installation pipes 33 of the water cooling pipeline 3 are respectively connected to the first connecting pipe 42 and the second connecting pipe 43.

[0052] Optionally, the liquid cooling body 41 includes a first plate 411 and a second plate 412. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a cooling channel 413 is formed on the second plate 412, and the edge of the first plate 411 is welded to the edge of the second plate 412. The first connecting pipe 42 and the second connecting pipe 43 are both welded to the first plate 411, so as to communicate with the cooling channel 413.

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the battery pack also includes a circulation pipe 9, a water pump 81 and an expansion water tank 82, and the water pump 81 and the expansion water tank 82 are both arranged on the circulation pipe 9; the liquid cooling plate 4 also includes a third connecting pipe 44 and a fourth connecting pipe 45, and the third connecting pipe 44 and the fourth connecting pipe 45 are both welded on the first plate 411, so that the third connecting pipe 44 and the fourth connecting pipe 45 are connected to the cooling channel 413, and the two ends of the circulation pipe 9 are respectively connected to the third connecting pipe 44 and the fourth connecting pipe 45, so as to realize the circulation of the coolant. When thermal runaway occurs, the water pump 81 works to ensure the supply of coolant to the water cooling pipe 3. At the same time, the expansion water tank 82 stores coolant, which can replenish the coolant in the liquid cooling plate 4 and the water cooling pipe 3.

[0054] Preferably, the volume of the water cooling pipeline 3 is V1, the volume of the circulation pipeline 9 is V2, the volume of the expansion water tank 82 is V3, the volume of the liquid cooling plate 4 is V4, the total volume of the entire circuit Vtotal = V1 + V2 + V3 + V4, when thermal runaway occurs, the spray efficiency of the coolant is R, the latent heat of vaporization of the coolant is H, and the heat generated when thermal runaway occurs is Q. The above parameters need to meet the following requirements:

[0055] V 总 ⅹRⅹH>Q

[0056] The spray efficiency R is the volume of the coolant sprayed when thermal runaway occurs and the total volume of the entire circuit V 总 The ratio of , where the volume of coolant ejected when thermal runaway occurs can be obtained through experiments.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, Fig.10 As shown, the battery module 2 further includes an insulating plate 21, which is disposed on the same side of the plurality of battery cells to insulate the battery cells, and a plurality of liquid inlets 211 are provided on the insulating plate 21, and the plurality of liquid inlets 211 correspond one-to-one to a plurality of first explosion-proof valves 23 included in the plurality of battery cells, and the first explosion-proof valves 23 are exposed through the corresponding liquid inlets 211. When thermal runaway occurs, the coolant can enter the interior of the battery cell through the liquid inlet 211 and the first explosion-proof valve 23, thereby realizing rapid cooling of the battery cell.

[0058] Furthermore, the battery module 2 includes a shell 22, and the multiple battery cells and the insulating plate 21 are arranged inside the shell 22, and the multiple battery cells can be fixed through the shell 22. A square opening 221 is opened on the upper part of the shell 22, so that part of the insulating plate 21 is exposed, and then the multiple liquid inlets 211 are exposed through the opening 221.

[0059] like Fig.10As shown, the battery module 2 also includes a plurality of support seats 24, which are all fixed on the insulating plate 21. The middle of the support seat 24 is recessed, so that part of the water cooling pipeline 3 can be set in the support seat 24, thereby achieving the fixation of the water cooling pipeline 3.

[0060] In addition, the support seat 24 includes two clamping grooves, which are respectively located on both sides of the recessed part. At least one support seat 24 is correspondingly provided with a clamp 25, and the two ends of the clamp 25 are respectively clamped with the two clamping grooves. At this time, the water cooling pipeline 3 is located between the support seat 24 and the clamp 25, thereby achieving the fixation of the water cooling pipeline 3.

[0061] Preferably, each battery module 2 includes five support seats 24, and the five support seats 24 are arranged at intervals to support different positions of the water cooling pipeline 3. The support seat 24 in the middle is correspondingly provided with a clamp 25, and the clamp 25 cooperates with the support seat 24 to fix the water cooling pipeline 3.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the battery pack includes a box body 1, a cover body 6 and a plurality of battery modules 2, wherein the plurality of battery modules 2 are arranged inside the box body 1, and the cover body 6 is arranged on the box body 1. The plurality of spray pipes 31 in the water cooling pipeline 3 are supported by the support seats 24 in different battery modules 2. The number of spray holes 313 in the water cooling pipeline 3 is equal to the number of battery cells in the battery pack, and each battery cell is correspondingly provided with a spray hole 313.

[0063] Furthermore, a mounting opening is provided on the cover body 6, and a second explosion-proof valve 7 is provided on the mounting opening. When thermal runaway occurs, the gas in the box body 1 of the battery pack can be discharged through the second explosion-proof valve 7 in time.

[0064] In addition, the battery pack also includes a battery management system 51 and a pressure sensor 52. The battery management system 51 and the pressure sensor 52 are both arranged inside the box 1. The pressure sensor 52 is connected to the battery management system 51 for communication. The pressure sensor 52 is used to detect the pressure inside the box 1 and send it to the battery management system 51. The battery management system 51 can determine whether the battery pack is in normal operation or thermal runaway based on the received signal. At the same time, the water pump 81 is also connected to the battery management system 51 for communication. When the battery pack is in normal use, the water pump 81 can choose to run or not run based on the actual operating conditions. When the battery management system 51 determines that the battery pack has thermal runaway, the water pump 81 keeps running or starts to ensure that the coolant can enter the interior of the battery cell through the spray hole 313, the liquid inlet 211 and the first explosion-proof valve 23 to achieve rapid cooling of the battery cell.

[0065] When the battery pack is operating normally, the coolant circulates in the liquid cooling plate 4, the water cooling pipeline 3 and the circulation pipeline. When thermal runaway occurs, the high-temperature gas and flame break through the first explosion-proof valve 23, and burn through the portion of the second tube 312 corresponding to the spray hole 313 through the spray hole 313, so that the coolant inside the second tube 312 can enter the interior of the battery cell through the spray hole 313, the liquid inlet 211 and the first explosion-proof valve 23, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the battery cell and reducing the risk of fire or explosion of the battery pack.
