Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a battery assembly and a battery heat management system. Background Art

[0002] The use of blade batteries in new energy vehicles and other devices is an important development trend. Blade batteries are a new type of battery technology, named because of their blade-like shape, and are designed to increase energy density. The use of blade batteries will involve the problem of battery heat dissipation and battery insulation, because blade batteries only have the best energy density and capacity within a specific temperature range.

[0003] Based on the above conditions and the summary of existing technologies in actual use, the thermal management of blade batteries currently has the following characteristics, defects and risks:

[0004] 1. Blade battery thermal management is poor, resulting in untimely heat dissipation, causing thermal runaway, which in turn brings the risk of spontaneous combustion, posing a great threat to the safety of life and property;

[0005] 2. The structure on both sides of the blade battery tab is an important factor causing uneven temperature of the entire battery pack, which leads to local overheating of the battery, thereby shortening the battery life and causing harm;

[0006] 3. In the battery pack liquid cooling technology, the battery is immersed in a special coolant to absorb the heat generated by the battery. The escape and treatment of the coolant will cause environmental pollution;

[0007] 4. When the battery is heated, the dissipated heat causes energy loss, resulting in energy waste;

[0008] 5. In severe cold environments, when the battery needs to be heated for use, external heating is required, which requires additional structural configuration and heat energy supplement, resulting in a cumbersome structure and increased energy costs.

[0009] Therefore, it is very necessary to carry out efficient and stable thermal management of blade-type power batteries.

[0010] The heat dissipation methods of mainstream power batteries in the market include direct cooling, forced air cooling and liquid cooling plates. All of the above heat dissipation methods have problems such as poor battery temperature uniformity and low heat dissipation efficiency. In the existing semi-immersed battery pack liquid cooling technology, the battery is immersed in a special coolant as the main form of direct liquid cooling, and the heat generated by the battery is absorbed by the coolant.

[0011] In contrast, semi-immersion liquid cooling not only greatly reduces the complexity of the system because the battery is in direct contact with the coolant, but also eliminates the contact thermal resistance between the battery and the coolant. The existing special coolants have good antifreeze and heat dissipation properties, but they still fail to solve the problems of poor thermal uniformity of the battery itself and environmentally unfriendly cooling fluids.

[0012] Phase Change Microcapsules are a widely used technology in materials science and engineering, mainly used to enhance the thermal management performance of materials. The core concept is to encapsulate phase change materials (PCM) in tiny capsules. This material will undergo a change in physical state at a specific temperature, such as from solid to liquid (or vice versa). This phase change process can absorb or release a large amount of heat. It can absorb heat when the temperature reaches or exceeds a certain threshold to prevent overheating; and release heat when the temperature drops, thereby alleviating the impact of temperature drop. This feature is used to accurately and effectively regulate the temperature of the surrounding environment. It is considered to be a technology with broad application potential in the field of thermal management of electronic products. For example, in components such as batteries and circuit boards, it helps control overheating, extend product life and improve product performance. Summary of the invention

[0045] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0046] refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, a battery assembly includes a battery housing 100, a blade battery pack 200, a heat exchange module 300 and a coolant 400. The blade battery pack 200 is used to provide electrical energy, and the blade battery pack 200 and the heat exchange module 300 are both arranged in the battery housing 100. The battery housing 100 provides structural support and protection for the blade battery pack 200 and the heat exchange module 300. The coolant 400 is a liquid heat exchange medium, which enters the battery housing 100 by injection, and in the heat exchange process, cooperates with the heat exchange module 300 to jointly manage the heat of the blade battery pack 200.

[0047] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the heat exchange module 300 includes a first heat exchange part 310 and a second heat exchange part 320 connected to each other. The first heat exchange part 310 and the second heat exchange part 320 are connected to each other to achieve heat exchange between each other.

[0048] The first heat exchange part 310 is in sealing contact with the battery pole of the blade battery pack 200, so as to timely disperse the heat energy generated at the battery pole to the outside, thereby cooling the battery pole. At the same time, it avoids heat concentration and achieves the effect of balancing the surface temperature of the blade battery pack 200.

[0049] In specific implementation, the first heat exchange part 310 is connected to the battery pole by a sealed connection, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. It avoids contact between the coolant 400 and the battery pole, thereby preventing the risk of leakage; 2. Since the battery pole is a part where the temperature rises rapidly and high heat is concentrated, the heat can be quickly transferred through the first heat exchange part 310 to reduce the temperature of the battery pole and avoid the generation of open flames.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the second heat exchange part 320 covers the blade battery pack 200 to timely perform heat management on the heat generated at various locations on the surface of the blade battery pack 200 .

[0051] refer to Figure 3 As shown, the coolant 400 contacts the blade battery pack 200 and the second heat exchange portion 320 to achieve heat exchange between the blade battery pack 200 and the second heat exchange portion 320 , thereby efficiently achieving thermal management of the blade battery pack 200 .

[0052] In a specific implementation, the coolant 400 includes one or more of water, fluorinated liquid and cooling oil.

[0053] refer to Figure 4As shown, the first heat exchange part 310 includes a phase change material core 311 and a material shell 312. The material shell 312 is made of a heat-conducting material, and the phase change material core 311 is arranged in the material shell 312. The material shell 312 is used to accommodate and store the phase change material core 311. The phase change material core 311 is made of a phase change material. The phase change material has the ability to change its physical state within a certain temperature range. Taking the solid-liquid phase change as an example, when heated to the melting temperature, a phase change from solid to liquid occurs. During the melting process, the phase change material absorbs and stores a large amount of latent heat. When the phase change material cools, the stored heat must be dissipated to the environment within a certain temperature range, and a reverse phase change from liquid to solid is performed. In these two phase change processes, the energy stored or released is called the phase change latent heat. When the physical state changes, the temperature of the material itself remains almost unchanged before the phase change is completed, forming a wide temperature platform. Although the temperature remains unchanged, the latent heat absorbed or released is quite large.

[0054] In a specific implementation, the material shell 312 can be made of metal, such as aluminum alloy and copper, etc. The material shell 312 provides the overall structural characteristics of the first heat exchange part 310. The specific shape of the material shell 312 is adapted to the overall structural design of the battery.

[0055] In some preferred embodiments, the material shell 312 is made into a plurality of heat dissipation fins with heat dissipation effect. The material shell 312 made of metal has a plurality of fin structures, and then heat dissipation is achieved through the fin structures.

[0056] refer to Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the second heat exchange part 320 includes a plurality of phase change material capsule units 322 in contact with each other, and gaps 321 are formed between adjacent phase change material capsule units 322 to serve as capillary structures to absorb the coolant 400. The phase change material unit 322 is an independent phase change material capsule, which structurally includes a capsule shell and a phase change material disposed in the capsule shell.

[0057] refer to Figure 3 As shown, a gap 321 is formed between two adjacent phase change material capsule units 322 to absorb the coolant 400. The gap 321 provides a capillary structure to absorb the coolant 400 upward and generate sufficient contact with the phase change material capsule unit 322, thereby completely and efficiently generating heat exchange.

[0058] In the specific implementation, the capsule shell uses methyl methacrylate as the shell material. The phase change material capsule unit 322 uses n-nonadecane as the phase change material and is arranged in the capsule shell. The average diameter of a single phase change material capsule unit 322 is about 8.18 μm, of which n-nonadecane accounts for 60.3 wt%.

[0059] During specific implementation, in some embodiments, the overall shape of the capsule shell is spherical.

[0060] The material shell 312 contacts the phase change material capsule unit 322 to achieve heat exchange between the first heat exchange portion 310 and the second heat exchange portion 320 .

[0061] The above scheme utilizes the characteristics of phase change materials and the structural form of the first heat exchange part 310 and the second heat exchange part 320, and cooperates with the effect of the coolant 400, so that the heat of the blade battery pack 200 can be evenly dispersed during the heat dissipation process, achieving stable thermal management, avoiding damage and danger caused by heat concentration, improving battery life, and avoiding property losses caused by spontaneous combustion of the battery due to heat concentration.

[0062] The phase change material of the first heat exchange part 310 and the second heat exchange part 320 can not only absorb heat from the coolant 400 and store the heat energy in itself, but also release heat to the coolant 400 when the temperature of the coolant 400 decreases, and then heat the blade battery pack 200 through the coolant 400. This improves the utilization efficiency of battery energy, and within a certain energy demand range, there is no need for additional heating to supplement heat.

[0063] When the temperature of the blade battery pack 200 drops and is not conducive to operation, the phase change materials in the first heat exchange part 310 and the second heat exchange part 320 will also release heat energy and evenly heat the surface of the blade battery pack 200 to increase its temperature and restore it to a normal operating temperature range.

[0064] In some preferred embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a membrane layer 500 having hydrophobic and breathable material properties. The membrane layer 500 cannot allow liquid to pass through according to its own material properties, but can allow gas to pass through. The battery housing 100 includes a first shell plate 110, and the first shell plate 110 is close to and corresponds to the position of the second heat exchange part 320. The membrane layer 500 is arranged between the second heat exchange part 320 and the first shell plate 110, and the first shell plate 110 is provided with an air outlet channel 111. In specific use, its working process and principle are: when the coolant 400 is not heated and exists in liquid form, it cannot pass through the membrane layer 500; when the coolant 400 is heated and converted into a gaseous form, it can pass through the membrane layer 500 and be discharged through the air outlet channel 111 on the first shell plate 110.

[0065] In a specific implementation, the material of the membrane layer 500 may be one or more of a polysulfone (PSF) membrane, a polyimide (PI) membrane, a polydimethoxysilane (PDMS) membrane, and a cellulose acetate (CA) membrane.

[0066] In a specific implementation, the edges of the film layer 500 are bonded and connected to ensure that the coolant 400 does not leak out.

[0067] In some preferred embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet channel 111 is connected to a negative pressure function mechanism 600 to accelerate the flow of gas to the outside of the battery housing 100. The negative pressure function mechanism 600 can be any existing mechanism and device that can provide air negative pressure, such as a bladed fan and a bladeless fan. The negative pressure function mechanism 600 provides air negative pressure to accelerate the gas formed by the coolant 400 to be discharged from the air outlet channel 111, that is, to accelerate the dissipation of heat energy to the outside of the battery housing 100, thereby making the inside of the battery housing 100 cool more quickly and efficiently.

[0068] In some preferred embodiments, the coolant 400 is water. The beneficial effects of using water as the coolant 400 are: 1. After the water is gasified, it will not cause pollution when discharged into the atmosphere; 2. In extreme cases, such as abnormally high heat, impact and puncture, when the battery burns, since the boiling point of water is 100°C, water can be boiled for heat exchange, and the temperature can be quickly controlled within a reasonable range, and the fire can be controlled in time, thereby achieving protection; 3. After the water is heated, it forms water vapor, which can be introduced into the vehicle for humidification and heating in the vehicle, thereby improving the thermal utilization efficiency of the battery.

[0069] refer to Figure 1-6 As shown, a battery heat management system adopts the above-mentioned battery assembly and also includes a sensor group 700 and a control module 800. Among them, the sensor group 700 is arranged in the battery housing 100 and is close to the position of the blade battery pack 200. The sensor group 700 includes a plurality of liquid level sensors 710, and the liquid level sensor 710 is used to detect the depth of the coolant 400 in the battery housing 100; the sensor group 700 also includes a plurality of temperature sensors 720, and the temperature sensor 720 is used to detect the temperature next to the blade battery pack 200. The control module 800 receives signals from the sensor group 700, namely the liquid level sensor 710 and the temperature sensor 720, and generates control operations according to the received signals, and then issues control instructions.

[0070] In the specific implementation process, the process and method are as follows:

[0071] The liquid level sensor 710 obtains a liquid level signal and transmits the liquid level signal to the control module 800. The control module 800 issues a first control instruction according to the obtained liquid level signal. The first control instruction is a liquid level adjustment instruction.

[0072] The temperature sensor 720 obtains a temperature signal and transmits the temperature signal to the control module 800. The control module 800 issues a second control instruction according to the obtained temperature signal. The second control instruction is a temperature adjustment instruction.

[0073] In some preferred embodiments, reference Figure 1As shown, the air outlet channel 111 includes a main pipe 1111, a first branch pipe 1112, a second branch pipe 1113 and an air outlet hole 1114 provided on the first shell plate 110. The main pipe 1111, the first branch pipe 1112 and the second branch pipe 1113 form a three-way pipe structure. The main pipe 1111 is connected to the battery housing 100 through the air outlet hole 1114. The first branch pipe 1112 and the second branch pipe 1113 are each provided with an electric control valve, and one of the first branch pipe 1112 and the second branch pipe 1113 is used to connect the air conditioning system inside the vehicle, and the electric control valve is electrically connected to the control module 800. The water vapor generated by the heat of the blade battery pack 200 in the above-mentioned battery assembly enters the first branch pipe 1112 or / and the second branch pipe 1113 through the air outlet hole 1114 and the main pipe 1111, and then enters other environments. The electric control valve is used to control the opening and closing of the first branch pipe 1112 and the second branch pipe 1113. Taking the second branch pipe 1113 connected to the air conditioning system inside the vehicle as an example, water vapor is introduced into the air conditioning system of the vehicle, and the control method is as follows:

[0074] The control module 800 sends a third control instruction to the electric control valve in the second branch pipe 1113, and the electric control valve opens;

[0075] The control module 800 sends a fourth control instruction to the electric control valve in the first branch pipe 1112, and the electric control valve is closed;

[0076] The moisture in the battery housing 100 enters the air conditioning system inside the vehicle through the vent 1114 , the main pipe 1111 and the second branch pipe 1113 .

[0077] In some preferred embodiments, reference Figure 5 As shown, a negative pressure function mechanism 600 is provided in the main pipe 1111 to extract gas from the battery housing 100, and the negative pressure function mechanism 600 is electrically connected to the control module 800. The negative pressure function mechanism 600 can be any existing mechanism and device that can provide air negative pressure, such as a bladed fan and a bladeless fan. The negative pressure function mechanism 600 provides air negative pressure to accelerate the gas formed by the coolant 400 to be discharged from the air outlet channel 111, that is, to accelerate the dissipation of heat energy outside the battery housing 100, thereby making the battery housing 100 cool down more quickly and efficiently. When the control module 800 controls the operation of the negative pressure function mechanism 600, its method and process are as follows:

[0078] The control module 800 sends a fifth control instruction to the negative pressure function mechanism 600, and the negative pressure function mechanism 600 starts and generates air negative pressure to accelerate the gas generated in the battery housing 100 to be discharged to the gas outlet channel 111;

[0079] The control module 800 sends a sixth control instruction to the negative pressure function mechanism 600, and the negative pressure function mechanism 600 is closed.

[0080] In some preferred embodiments, reference Figure 1 As shown, the battery housing 100 is provided with a liquid injection port 120, and the liquid injection port 120 is provided with an electric control valve, and the electric control valve is electrically connected to the control module 800. The liquid injection port 120 is used to inject the coolant 400. When the control module 800 controls the electric control valve of the liquid injection port 120, its method and process are as follows:

[0081] The control module 800 sends a seventh control instruction to the electronically controlled valve in the liquid injection hole 120, and the electronically controlled valve opens to start injecting the coolant 400 into the battery housing 100 from the outside;

[0082] The control module 800 sends an eighth control instruction to the electrically controlled valve in the injection hole 120, and the electrically controlled valve is closed.
