[0051] According to the heating device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the heating device may have a plurality of heat exchange blocks, and the liquid supply pipe may extend in a winding manner to flow through each heat exchange block in sequence.

[0052] Based on the technical features described above, a specific example of the heating device provided according to an embodiment of the present application will be further described below.

[0053] In the embodiment, the liquid supply pipe 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the power battery pack and is arranged in a spiral shape, and the water inlet and outlet ends of the liquid supply pipe 1 extend to the outside of the power battery pack.

[0056] In the embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a docking tube 6, a driving assembly and an automatic locking assembly. An alignment hole 7 is opened on the bottom surface of the heat exchange block 5. There are two alignment holes 7, and the distance between the two alignment holes 7 is consistent with the distance between the two adjacent connecting tubes 2 on the liquid supply pipe 1. The docking tube 6 is arranged in the alignment hole 7, and the docking tube 6 is slidingly and sealedly connected to the end of the heat exchange tube 3. At the same time, the docking tube 6 can be spirally inserted into the connecting tube 2 and threadedly and sealedly connected to the connecting tube 2. The driving assembly is installed in the heat exchange block 5, and the docking tube 6 is driven to slide and rotate by the driving assembly. The automatic locking assembly is installed in the heat exchange block 5, and the connection between the docking tube 6 and the connecting tube 2 is maintained by the automatic locking assembly.

[0057] In an embodiment, the driving assembly includes a gear column 8, a gear plate 9, a driving rod 10 and a transmission column 11. A first cavity 12 is provided inside the heat exchange block 5. The gear column 8 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the docking tube 6. The driving rod 10 is rotatably mounted in the first cavity 12, and the gear plate 9 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the driving rod 10. At the same time, the gear plate 9 is meshed with the gear column 8. A countersunk hole 13 is provided on the top surface of the heat exchange block 5. The top end of the driving rod 10 extends into the countersunk hole 13. The transmission column 11 is arranged in the countersunk hole 13 and is fixedly mounted on the top end of the driving rod 10.

A second cavity 19 is opened in the middle of the heat exchange block 5. The first sleeve 14 is slidably installed in the second cavity 19 and can rotate, and the first sleeve 14 extends into the countersunk hole 13 and is sleeved on the surface of the transmission column 11. At the same time, the first sleeve 14 can drive the transmission column 11 to rotate synchronously. The transmission sleeve 15 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the drive rod 10 and can rotate synchronously with the drive rod 10. The inner ring of the spring 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the transmission sleeve 15, and the outer ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second cavity 19.

[0059] In an embodiment, the reset assembly includes a fixed ring 20, a movable ring 21 and a first reset spring 22. The fixed ring 20 is fixedly installed inside the second cavity 19, the movable ring 21 is fixedly installed on the surface of the first sleeve 14, and the first reset spring 22 is a compression spring and is installed between the fixed ring 20 and the movable ring 21. At the same time, the first reset spring 22 is sleeved on the surface of the first sleeve 14.

[0060] In an embodiment, the reversing assembly includes a reversing head 23 and a linkage assembly. The reversing head 23 is slidably installed in the middle of the connecting pipe 2. A flow channel is provided in the middle of the reversing head 23. When the reversing head 23 extends into the liquid supply pipe 1, the heat exchange liquid in the liquid supply pipe 1 can flow into the connecting pipe 2 from the flow channel. At the same time, when the reversing head 23 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the liquid supply pipe 1, the reversing head 23 will block the liquid supply pipe 1 and allow the heat exchange liquid inside the liquid supply pipe 1 to completely flow into the flow channel. When the reversing head 23 is completely retracted into the connecting pipe 2, the liquid supply pipe 1 and the flow channel will be disconnected. The linkage assembly is connected between the reversing head 23 and the docking pipe 6. When the docking pipe 6 is connected to the connecting pipe 2, the reversing head 23 can be driven to slide through the linkage assembly.

[0061] In the embodiment, the linkage assembly includes a linkage tube 24, a fixed retaining ring 25, a movable retaining ring 26 and a second return spring 27. The linkage tube 24 is slidably arranged in the connecting tube 2, and the linkage tube 24 is fixedly connected to the reversing head 23. At the same time, the linkage tube 24 is connected to the flow channel. The fixed retaining ring 25 is fixedly installed inside the connecting tube 2, and the movable retaining ring 26 is fixedly installed at the end of the linkage tube 24. The second return spring 27 is a compression spring and is installed between the fixed retaining ring 25 and the movable retaining ring 26. At the same time, the second return spring 27 is sleeved on the surface of the linkage tube 24, and a sealing ring 28 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the movable retaining ring 26.

[0062] It should be noted that the two reversing heads 23 connected to the two ends of the heat exchange tube 3 are arranged to be separated from each other. The heat exchange block 5 can be opened in half from the middle and fixed to each other by bolts to form a complete heat exchange block 5.

[0063] In the embodiment, during use, when it is necessary to heat the inside of the power battery pack, it is only necessary to pass the heat exchange fluid heated by the external heating device into the liquid supply pipe 1. After that, when the heat exchange fluid flows through the connecting pipe 2, it will flow into the connecting pipe 2 from the flow channel of the reversing head 23, and then enter the heat exchange tube 3 through the docking pipe 6. At this time, the heat of the heat exchange fluid will be transferred to the battery pack inside the power battery pack through the heat exchange block 5 and the bonding plate 4, thereby finally heating the power battery pack.

[0064] In the embodiment, when the heating pipeline needs to be inspected and repaired, it is only necessary to open the protective cover of the power battery pack, and then put the external socket wrench from the countersunk hole 13 on the surface of the transmission column 11. During this process, the external socket wrench will first push the first sleeve 14 to slide down until it is separated from the transmission column 11. During this process, the first sleeve 14 will also drive the limiting column 17 to slide down synchronously until it is inserted into the second sleeve 18. At this time, the first sleeve 14 will remain limited, and then the external socket wrench is rotated to drive the transmission column 11 to rotate and then drive the drive rod 10 to rotate. The drive rod 10 will drive the gear plate 9 to rotate, the gear plate 9 will drive the gear column 8 to rotate, and the gear column 8 will drive the docking tube 6 to rotate, so that the docking tube 6 is spirally separated from the connecting tube 2, and then the same operation is performed on the other transmission column 11 of the heat exchange block 5. At this time, the entire heat exchange tube 3 and the heat exchange block 5 can be removed separately, thereby realizing partial replacement and maintenance of the entire heating pipeline.

[0065] Moreover, in the above process, under the action of the second return spring 27, the interlocking tube 24 and the reversing head 23 will be driven to slide into the connecting tube 2 through the movable retaining ring 26. At this time, the heat exchange liquid inside the liquid supply tube 1 will not pass through the flow channel inside the reversing head 23, thereby realizing the automatic cutoff of the connecting tube 2. After the heat exchange tube 3 and the heat exchange block 5 are repaired, the heat exchange tube 3 and the connecting tube 2 can be reconnected by performing the above steps in reverse.

[0066] In the embodiment, when the docking tube 6 is screwed into the connecting tube 2, it will also synchronously push the linkage tube 24 to move, thereby driving the reversing head 23 to move into the liquid supply tube 1 until the reversing head 23 is completely in close contact with the inner wall of the liquid supply tube 1. At this time, the heat exchange fluid in the liquid supply tube 1 will pass through the flow channel in the middle of the reversing head 23, through the linkage tube 24 and the docking tube 6, and flow into the heat exchange tube 3, thereby realizing the conduction between the heat exchange tube 3 and the connecting tube 2 and the liquid supply tube 1.

[0067] In addition, during use, when the heat exchange tube 3 is connected to the connecting tube 2 and the external socket wrench is removed, the first reset spring 22 will drive the first sleeve 14 to reset through the movable ring 21 and re-sleeve it on the surface of the transmission column 11. Under this structure, when a gap is generated inside the battery due to low-temperature contraction, the spring 16 will continue to drive the drive rod 10 to rotate, thereby driving the heat exchange tube 3 to move further. In this process, the heat exchange block 5 will be driven to move closer to the liquid supply pipe 1, which will push the bonding plate 4 to move to fill the gap, thereby ensuring good heat conduction between the heat exchange block 5, the bonding plate 4 and the battery pack. It should be noted that when the heat exchange tube 3 is disassembled, the spring 16 can first drive the entire first sleeve 14 to rotate in the opposite direction to accumulate force, and then use the socket wrench to push it into the second cavity 19 to avoid insufficient torque of the spring 16.

[0068] During the entire use process, the entire heating device is mainly composed of heat exchange tubes 3 and liquid supply tubes 1 that can be separated and combined. Under this structure, when it needs to be repaired, the local heat exchange tubes 3 can be freely removed according to needs, so that there is no need to completely disassemble the heat exchange components inside the entire battery pack, which undoubtedly greatly simplifies the maintenance process and makes maintenance simpler and more convenient.

[0069] At the same time, during use, under the action of the reversing assembly, when a certain heat exchange tube 3 is removed, the reversing assembly will automatically close the connecting tube 2 connected to the heat exchange tube 3, thereby ensuring the stable transmission of the heat exchange liquid inside the liquid supply pipe 1, avoiding a large amount of heat exchange liquid loss, and ensuring that the entire heat exchange equipment is still operating normally, which is convenient for continued maintenance of the remaining parts so as to check them one by one.

[0070] Moreover, during use, when the battery pack shrinks due to low temperature and creates a gap, the connecting assembly will drive the heat exchange block 5 and the bonding plate 4 to automatically fill the gap, thereby avoiding poor heating caused by insufficient heat conduction due to the gap, and effectively ensuring the heating effect.

[0071] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a battery pack is provided, and the battery pack includes the above heating device.

[0072] According to a third aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes a battery pack as described above, and the vehicle may be, for example, a new energy vehicle.

[0073] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the innovative concept of the present application, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the protection scope of the present application.
