Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to the field of battery heat dissipation. Background Art
[0002] Batteries are common power supply components in our lives. With the continuous development of battery technology, batteries are used more and more widely, such as new energy vehicles, home appliances, factory machinery, etc. However, as the power of the battery increases, a large amount of heat is inevitably generated during the charging and discharging process, and efficient heat dissipation is required. The common heat dissipation methods currently available are air cooling and liquid cooling.
[0003] Based on the search for battery heat dissipation, some existing technologies were found, which are now introduced one by one:
[0004] First, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN218385385U discloses a battery heat dissipation and heat preservation device, which realizes heat dissipation of the battery through wind power of the first heat dissipation component and coolant of the second heat dissipation component. However, it has some disadvantages: heat is transferred to the coolant through the heat dissipation pipe, and the heat conduction effect in the middle depends on the thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation pipe, that is, the heat dissipation effect depends on the thermal conductivity of the heat dissipation pipe, which needs to be improved.
[0005] Secondly, the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN220209084U discloses an immersion liquid-cooled battery pack, in which insulating coolant is filled in the battery box, and the side wall of the battery box is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet for the insulating coolant to enter and exit. The insulating coolant enters the heat exchanger and returns to the battery box through the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet, and the coolant is dissipated by the heat exchanger, so that the battery cells in the battery pack are immersed in an insulating coolant in a low-temperature state. However, there are still some shortcomings: the number of battery cells in the automotive battery is very large and the distribution is relatively dense. When the coolant is dissipated by the heat exchanger, the battery cells hinder the flow of the coolant, and it is difficult to make the coolant in various parts of the battery box synchronously participate in the heat dissipation of the heat exchanger. Therefore, the temperature distribution of the coolant in the battery box is uneven and needs to be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0041] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation mode, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0042] Reference Figure 1-Figure 13 A battery pack heat dissipation structure includes an outer box body 100 and a plurality of battery cells 102 . An inner shell 101 is disposed in the outer box body 100 , and the battery cells 102 are installed in the inner shell 101 .
[0043] The inner shell 101 is in a rectangular shape consisting of two side panels 1011 and two side panels 1012. The side panels 1011 and 1012 are arranged vertically. An upper shell cover 103 is provided at the upper opening of the inner shell 101, and a lower shell bottom 106 is provided at the lower opening, wherein:
[0044] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The interior of the upper shell cover 103 is hollow, and the lower end surface of the upper shell cover 103 is provided with a nozzle 1032 located outside the inner shell 101 and an upper hole 1031 located inside the inner shell 101. The upper end of the battery cell 102 is coaxially located in the upper hole 1031 and the positive terminal arranged at the upper end of the battery cell 102 passes through the upper avoidance hole arranged on the upper end surface of the upper shell cover 103. The positive terminal and the upper avoidance hole form a sealing fit, and the existing sealing technology can be used, which is not described in detail. A gap is formed between the outer wall of the upper end of the battery cell 102 and the hole wall of the upper hole 1031. The hole wall of the upper hole 1031 is provided with a ring 1033, and the ring 1033 is connected to the inner cavity of the upper shell cover 103;
[0045] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The lower shell bottom 106 includes a main body 1061, the lower end of the main body 1061 is closed, the upper end is open and a cover plate 1062 is provided, the upper end surface of the cover plate 1062 is provided with a lower hole 1063, the lower end of the battery cell 102 is coaxially located in the lower hole 1063 and the negative terminal arranged at the lower end of the battery cell 102 passes through the lower avoidance hole arranged at the lower closed end of the main body 1061, and the negative terminal and the lower avoidance hole form a sealing match, and the existing sealing technology can be used, which will not be described in detail. A water-absorbing body 1064 is provided, which has water-absorbing properties, such as a sponge. A sleeve hole is provided on the water-absorbing body 1064, and the hole wall of the sleeve hole is in contact with the outer wall of the lower end of the battery cell 102. A connecting hole 1065 and a connecting hole 2 1066 are provided on the outer surface of the main body 1061, and the two connecting holes are respectively located on both sides of the main body 1061, that is, the two are spaced far apart. A liquid extraction pipe 1067 is connected to the opening of the connecting hole 1065, and a liquid return pipe 1068 is connected to the opening of the connecting hole 2 1066;
[0046] Reference Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The two side panels 1012 are open on one side facing each other and closed on the other side. The side panels 1012 are provided with ventilation holes along the length direction. Air can enter the inner shell 101 through one side panel 1012 and then be exhausted through the other side panel 1012 to form a unidirectional airflow. Preferably, in order to make the airflow flow into the inner shell 101 evenly and be evenly exhausted, refer to Fig.10 A plurality of air guide plates 1013 are arranged in an array along the length direction in the side panel 1012. The air guide plates 1013 include vertical plates perpendicular to the length direction of the side panel 1012. An inclined plate inclined toward the vent is arranged at one end of the vertical plate toward the closed side of the side panel 1012. The distance between the end of the inclined plate and the closed side of the side panel 1012 is L. The difference in L between two adjacent air guide plates 1013 is equal. Therefore, the air flowing into the side panel 1012 through the vent is evenly divided and guided by the inclined plates, and then flows into the inner shell 101 through the area between the two adjacent vertical plates, thereby achieving the purpose of uniform inflow. At the same time, there is a suction force at the opening of the other side panel 1012 to draw away the evenly flowing air. Therefore, the purpose of uniform inflow and uniform exhaust of air can be achieved.
[0047] Preferred embodiment, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The distribution of multiple battery cells 102 in the inner shell 101 is as follows: a number of battery cells 102 are arranged in an array along the length direction of the inner shell 101 to form a battery column, and a number of battery columns are arranged in an array along the width direction of the inner shell 101. The battery cells 102 in two adjacent battery columns are arranged in a staggered manner. The significance of this is that, in this way, the air flowing into the inner shell 101 will contact all the battery cells 102 as much as possible.
[0048] Reference Fig. 9 , a water pump 109 and a blast assembly are also provided in the outer box 100, specifically:
[0049] Reference Figure 3 and Fig.12 A liquid storage tank 104 is installed in the outer box body 100. Preferably, for the sake of space layout, the liquid storage tank 104 can be arranged below the inner shell body 101.
[0050] The liquid outlet of the liquid storage box 104 is connected to a liquid inlet pipe 111 , the liquid inlet is connected to a liquid outlet pipe 1 10 , and the end of the nozzle 1032 is connected to a liquid outlet pipe 2 112 .
[0051] The liquid inlet pipe 111, the liquid extraction pipe 1067 and the liquid inlet end of the water pump 109 are connected via a three-way valve 113, and the three-way valve 113 is used to achieve the connection between the liquid inlet pipe 111 and the liquid inlet end of the water pump 109 or the connection between the liquid extraction pipe 1067 and the liquid inlet end of the water pump 109.
[0052] The liquid outlet pipe 1 110 , the liquid outlet pipe 2 112 and the liquid outlet end of the water pump 109 are connected via a three-way valve 2 114 , and the three-way valve 2 114 is used to achieve the connection between the liquid outlet pipe 1 110 and the liquid outlet end of the water pump 109 or the connection between the liquid outlet pipe 2 112 and the liquid outlet end of the water pump 109 .
[0053] The three-way valve 1 13 and the three-way valve 2 114 can be realized by existing three-way valve technology, and will not be described in detail.
[0054] During heat dissipation, the three-way valve 113 is used to connect the liquid inlet pipe 111 with the liquid inlet end of the water pump 109, and the three-way valve 2 114 is used to connect the liquid outlet pipe 2 112 with the liquid outlet end of the water pump 109. After that, the water pump 109 is started, and the liquid medium in the liquid storage tank 104 is extracted through the liquid inlet pipe 111, and injected into the upper shell cover 103 through the liquid outlet pipe 2 112. The liquid medium eventually flows downward through the ring mouth 1033 and the gap. Since the gap is relatively small, when the liquid medium flows downward, a water film that continuously flows from top to bottom will be formed on the outer surface of the battery cell 102. Since the liquid medium has insulating, volatile and non-flammable properties, such as carbon tetrachloride, the liquid medium can quickly take away the heat of the battery cell 102. Most of the liquid medium is evaporated into gas, and a small part flows downward and is absorbed by the water absorbent 1064.
[0055] Reference Figure 2 , Fig. 9 and Fig.11 The blowing assembly includes a condensing unit 108 , and the condensing unit 108 includes an internally hollow condensing body 1081 . The internal area of the condensing body 1081 is named as an inner tank 1082 , and the bottom of the condensing body 1081 is connected to the end of the return liquid pipe 1068 .
[0056] The condenser 1081 is connected to the vent of the second side plate 1012 through a connecting pipe, and two connecting pipes are correspondingly provided. Two fans 107 are installed on the outer surface of the condenser 1081. The output ends of the two fans 107 extend into the condenser 1081. The two fans 107 are respectively close to the connection between the two connecting pipes and the condenser 1081. The internal array of the condenser 1081 is provided with a plurality of inner fins 1083 located between the output ends of the two fans 107. When one of the fans 107 is in operation, the air in the inner shell 101 is sucked through the corresponding connecting pipe and the second side plate 1012. When the other fan 107 is in operation, the air in the inner shell 101 is sucked through the corresponding connecting pipe and the second side plate 1012. The air in the condensate 1081 is sent into the inner shell 101 through the corresponding connecting pipes and the second side plate 1012. In this way, after the liquid medium is evaporated into a gaseous state, it will flow with the air and be pulled into the condensate 1081. A plurality of external fins 1084 are arranged in an array on the outer surface of the condensate 1081. The output end of the fan 107 is coaxially connected with a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the fan 105 located outside the condensate 1081. At the same time, a vent hole is provided on the outer surface of the outer box 100. When the fan 107 is in operation, it rotates with the fan 105, thereby dissipating the heat of the condensate 1081 and liquefying the gaseous medium in the condensate 1081 into a liquid state.
[0057] Working principle of the present invention:
[0058] When heat is dissipated, the three-way valve 113 is used to connect the liquid inlet pipe 111 with the liquid inlet end of the water pump 109, and the three-way valve 114 is used to connect the liquid outlet pipe 112 with the liquid outlet end of the water pump 109. After that, the water pump 109 is started, and the liquid medium in the liquid storage tank 104 is extracted through the liquid inlet pipe 111, and injected into the upper shell cover 103 through the liquid outlet pipe 112. The liquid medium finally flows downward through the ring mouth 1033 and the gap. Since the gap is relatively small, when the liquid medium flows downward, a water film that continuously flows from top to bottom will be formed on the outer surface of the battery cell 102. Since the liquid medium has insulating, volatile and non-flammable properties, such as carbon tetrachloride, the liquid medium can quickly take away the heat of the battery cell 102. Most of the liquid medium is evaporated into gaseous state, and a small part flows downward and is absorbed by the water absorbent 1064.
[0059] At the same time, the two fans 107 cooperate with each other to blow air to the outer surface of the battery cell 102, and at the same time draw the evaporated gaseous medium into the condenser 1081, where the gaseous medium is liquefied into liquid and temporarily stored in the condenser 1081;
[0060] After the preset time, the liquid medium in the liquid storage tank 104 is about to be used up. At this time, the temperature of the battery cell 102 is also controlled within a preset range. Therefore, the heat dissipation is suspended. The three-way valve 113 is used to connect the liquid extraction pipe 1067 with the liquid inlet end of the water pump 109, and the three-way valve 114 is used to connect the liquid outlet pipe 110 with the liquid outlet end of the water pump 109. At this time, the condenser 1081, the liquid return pipe 1068, and the lower shell bottom 106 are full of liquid medium, and the water absorption body 1064 is also full of liquid medium. After that, the water pump 109 is started to suck the liquid medium through the liquid extraction pipe 1067 and return it to the liquid storage tank 104 through the liquid outlet pipe 110;
[0061] Then, continue to repeat the heat dissipation.
[0062] From the above process, we can know that:
[0063] This solution forms a layer of water film on the outer surface of the battery cell. The water film is an insulating, volatile, non-flammable liquid medium. Therefore, the heat generated by the battery cell can easily evaporate the liquid medium into a gaseous state. Compared with the existing air cooling or liquid cooling, this method can quickly take away the heat of the battery cell through evaporation, and the thermal conductivity and efficiency are further enhanced. On the other hand, the outer surface of the battery cell is wrapped by the water film, which can play a similar effect to immersion, further improving the thermal conductivity. The improvement of the thermal conductivity means the improvement of the heat dissipation effect.
[0064] At the same time, the gaseous medium is pulled away by the blowing assembly. On the one hand, the blowing assembly can pull the air to blow evenly to each battery cell and contact with all the battery cells. Therefore, it can take away almost all the gaseous medium formed by evaporation. Compared with the immersion liquid cooling in the prior art, this method is equivalent to being able to pull all the liquid media as the heat transfer medium to flow, which solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that "the battery cells hinder the flow of coolant, and it is difficult to make the coolant in each part of the battery box simultaneously participate in the heat dissipation of the heat exchanger. Therefore, the temperature distribution of the coolant in the battery box is uneven, and the heat dissipation effect is not good". On the other hand, it is well known that applying volatile media such as alcohol on the skin and then blowing air can accelerate the volatilization of alcohol. Based on this point, blowing air to the battery cells can accelerate the volatilization of the liquid medium, thereby further improving the efficiency of the liquid medium in taking away the heat of the battery cells, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.
