[0005] The battery device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a housing, a heat exchange assembly and a plurality of battery cells, wherein the plurality of battery cells are arranged in the housing, and the housing plays a protective role on the battery cells. The heat exchange assembly is used to exchange heat with the battery cells. On the one hand, by setting at least one heat exchange component as a flexible component, the weight of the flexible component is relatively light, which is conducive to reducing the weight of the heat exchange assembly, reducing the production cost of the heat exchange assembly, and reducing the weight of the battery device; in addition, the flexible component has a certain flexibility, which can make the heat exchange assembly fit better with the housing and / or the battery cell, thereby absorbing the assembly tolerance of the heat exchange assembly, without using caulking agent or heat conductive material, improving the fit between the heat exchange assembly and the housing and / or the battery cell, and increasing the effective heat exchange area between the heat exchange assembly and the housing and / or the battery cell, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange effect of the heat exchange assembly. On the other hand, by setting at least one heat exchange component as a rigid component, and stacking the flexible component and the rigid component to form at least one medium flow channel, the rigid component can support the flexible component, which is beneficial to improving the overall structural strength and stability of the heat exchange component, and further improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange effect of the heat exchange component; in addition, by setting the rigid component, the heat exchange component has sufficient structural strength to carry the battery cell, which improves the applicability of the heat exchange component. On the other hand, by setting at least one of the flexible component and the rigid component to include an anti-corrosion layer, the setting of the anti-corrosion layer is beneficial to improving the anti-corrosion performance of the heat exchange component, and improves the problem of corrosion of the heat exchange component by the heat exchange medium, external corrosive substances, etc., thereby improving the reliability of the heat exchange component.
[0006] In addition, by providing a first anti-corrosion layer in at least the region of the rigid part where the medium flow channel is formed, the first anti-corrosion layer can improve the situation where the heat exchange medium damages the rigid part, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the heat exchange component.
[0007] Furthermore, polypropylene (PP), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyphthalamide (PPA) or polyethylene (PE) have good corrosion resistance, which is helpful to reduce the possibility of corrosion leakage of heat exchange medium. And it can be formed into rigid parts by hot pressing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first anti-corrosion layer is configured as a metal plasticized film.
[0011] In this embodiment, since the metal plastic film is thin and light in weight, and a medium flow channel is formed between the metal plastic film and the flexible member, it is not affected by the extrusion process and does not need to meet a large thickness requirement, so the thickness and weight of the heat exchange component as a whole can be reduced. At the same time, since the heat exchange component has the characteristics of insulation, the possibility of insulation failure can be reduced. The possibility of the rigid member reacting with the heat exchange medium flowing inside is reduced, and the possibility of corrosion and leakage of the heat exchange medium is further reduced.
[0012] In some embodiments, the first anti-corrosion layer is configured as an aluminum-plastic film.
[0013] Aluminum-plastic film has high barrier properties, good cold stamping formability, puncture resistance, electrolyte stability, and electrical insulation.

[0016] In some embodiments, the anti-corrosion layer includes a second anti-corrosion layer; The second anti-corrosion layer is disposed on a side of the rigid component facing away from the flexible component.
[0017] The second anti-corrosion layer can reduce the corrosion of rigid parts by external corrosive substances, thereby improving the reliability of the heat exchange component.
[0018] In some embodiments, the second anti-corrosion layer is disposed on a side of the flexible member facing away from the rigid member.
[0019] That is to say, a second anti-corrosion layer is provided on the side of the flexible member facing away from the medium flow channel, that is, on the outside of the flexible member. The second anti-corrosion layer can reduce the corrosion of the flexible member by external corrosive substances, thereby improving the reliability of the heat exchange component.
[0020] In some embodiments, the second anti-corrosion layer is disposed on the side of the heat exchange component.
[0021] In this way, on the one hand, the second anti-corrosion layer can reduce the corrosion of the sides of the flexible parts and the rigid parts by external corrosive substances. On the other hand, it can also reduce the penetration of external corrosive substances into the gap between the flexible parts and the rigid parts from the connection between the flexible parts and the rigid parts, further improving the reliability of the heat exchange assembly.

[0024] In some embodiments, one of the flexible member and the rigid member forms a flange portion, and the flange portion at least covers a side edge of the other one.
[0025] In this embodiment, by forming a flange portion and covering at least the side of the other one of them with the flange portion, it is further helpful to reduce the penetration of external corrosive substances from the connection between the flexible part and the rigid part into the gap between the flexible part and the rigid part, thereby further improving the reliability of the heat exchange assembly.
[0026] In some embodiments, the flexible member includes a metal plastic film.
[0027] In this embodiment, since the metal plastic film is thin and light in weight, and a medium flow channel is formed between the metal plastic film and the heat exchanger, it is not affected by the extrusion process and does not need to meet a large thickness requirement, so the thickness and weight of the heat exchange component as a whole can be reduced. At the same time, since the heat exchange component has the characteristics of insulation, the possibility of insulation failure can be reduced. The risk of the heat exchange component reacting with the heat exchange medium flowing inside is reduced, and the possibility of corrosion and leakage of the heat exchange medium is further reduced.
[0028] In some embodiments, the flexible member comprises an aluminum-plastic film.
[0029] Aluminum-plastic film has high barrier properties, good cold stamping formability, puncture resistance, electrolyte stability, and electrical insulation.
[0030] In some embodiments, the flexible member is a layered structure, and the flexible member includes a metal layer and a non-metal layer, and the metal layer and the non-metal layer are stacked in sequence.
[0031] In this embodiment, the flexible member formed by stacking the metal layer and the non-metal layer in sequence is thin and light in weight, and by forming a medium flow channel between the flexible member and the rigid member, it is not affected by the extrusion process and does not need to meet a large thickness requirement, so the thickness and weight of the heat exchange component as a whole can be reduced. In addition, the heat exchange component will not react with the heat exchange medium flowing inside, so there is no possibility of corrosion leakage.
[0032] In some embodiments, the metal layer includes one or more of aluminum foil, copper foil and steel foil.
[0033] By setting the metal layer to be one or more of aluminum foil, copper foil and steel foil, the flexible member can have a certain structural strength and can play an isolation role.

[0035] By setting the non-metallic layer to be one or more of polypropylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polyphthalamide and polyethylene, the flexible member can have a certain waterproof effect.
[0036] In some embodiments, the non-metallic layer is a hot-melt layer.
[0037] Here, by setting the non-metallic layer as a hot-melt layer, that is, composed of a hot-melt material, it is advantageous to combine the non-metallic layer with the metal layer through hot melting, which makes molding simple and the production efficiency high.

[0040] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flexible member is 0.05 mm-0.3 mm.
[0041] In this embodiment, by setting the thickness of the flexible part to 0.05mm-0.3mm, the heat exchange component made of the flexible part has a certain structural strength while the overall thickness of the heat exchange component is smaller, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume and weight of the battery device to increase the energy density of the battery device.
[0042] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flexible member is 0.08 mm-0.2 mm.
[0043] In this embodiment, by setting the thickness of the flexible part to 0.08mm-0.2mm, the heat exchange component made of the flexible part has a certain structural strength, and the overall thickness of the heat exchange component is further reduced, which is beneficial to further reduce the overall volume and weight of the battery device, so as to further increase the energy density of the battery device.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 2 The battery device 100 includes a housing 20 and a plurality of battery cells 10 , wherein the plurality of battery cells 10 are disposed in the housing 20 .
[0091] The box 20 can be a simple three-dimensional structure such as a single cuboid, a cylinder or a sphere, or a complex three-dimensional structure composed of simple three-dimensional structures such as cuboids, cylinders or spheres.

[0095] Here, the flexibility in the flexible part 31 refers to the material property of the structure. This type of property can be a property given to the material due to its light weight, or a property given to the material due to at least any one of the material's thickness, stiffness, strength, elastic modulus, etc. As an example, the material of the flexible part 31 can be selected to be a material that is lighter than conventional aluminum plates, steel plates, etc., and its flexibility can be controlled by the thickness, width, length, and type of material of the flexible part 31. The embodiment of the present disclosure is conducive to reducing the weight of the heat exchange component 30 by configuring the heat exchange component 30 to include the flexible part 31.
[0096] Here, the rigidity in the rigid part 32 refers to the material property of the structure. This type of property can be a property given to the material due to the large mass of the material, or a property given to the material due to at least any one of the material's thickness, rigidity, strength, elastic modulus, etc. As an example, the material of the rigid part 32 can be selected to be a metal plate similar to a conventional aluminum plate, steel plate, or a material of a structure such as a composite plate, and its rigidity can be controlled by the thickness, width, length, and type of material of the rigid part 32. The embodiment of the present disclosure can support the flexible part 31 by configuring the heat exchange component 30 to include the rigid part 32, which is beneficial to improving the overall structural strength and stability of the heat exchange component 30.
[0097] Exemplarily, the elastic modulus of at least a portion of the flexible member 31 is smaller than the elastic modulus of the rigid member 32 .
[0098] Here, the elastic modulus of a partial area of the flexible member 31 may be smaller than the elastic modulus of the rigid member 32 , or the elastic modulus of the entire area of the flexible member 31 may be smaller than the elastic modulus of the rigid member 32 .
[0099] By configuring the heat exchange component 30 to include the flexible component 31 and the rigid component 32 , the heat exchange component 30 can have a certain structural strength while having a flexible function.
[0100] The flexibility of the heat exchange assembly 30 can make the heat exchange surface of the heat exchange assembly 30 fit better with the battery cell 10 , further improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange effect of the heat exchange assembly 30 .
[0101] The flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 are stacked to form at least one medium flow channel 312, which means that the heat exchange assembly 30 forms the medium flow channel 312 between the flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32. In other words, the flexible member 31 constitutes at least part of the side wall of the medium flow channel 312, and the rigid member 32 also constitutes at least part of the side wall of the medium flow channel 312. The heat exchange medium flows in the medium flow channel 312 to achieve heat exchange with the battery cell 10.
[0102] It should be noted that the specific type of heat exchange medium is not limited here, as long as it can have a heat exchange effect on the battery cell 10, for example, it can be gaseous or liquid. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat exchange medium is described as a cooling liquid.
[0103] It should be noted that the specific number of the medium flow channels 312 is not limited here, and can be one or more.
[0104] The heat exchange assembly 30 includes at least two heat exchange elements, that is, there are multiple heat exchange elements.
[0105] At least one heat exchange component is configured as a flexible component 31, which means that the number of the flexible components 31 is one or more. In the embodiment where multiple heat exchange components are configured as flexible components 31, the flexible components 31 may be the same or different.
[0106] At least one heat exchange component is configured as a rigid component 32, which means that the number of rigid components 32 is one or more. In the embodiment where multiple heat exchange components are configured as rigid components 32, the rigid components 32 may be the same or different.
[0107] Exemplarily, the heat exchange assembly 30 includes two heat exchange components, one of which is a flexible component 31 and the other is a rigid component 32 .
[0108] Exemplarily, the rigid member 32 is a rigid plate-like structure, which can support the flexible member 31 , thereby facilitating improving the overall structural strength and stability of the heat exchange assembly 30 .
[0109] For example, the rigid member 32 may be stamped or welded to form a specific structure as required for supporting functions.
[0110] Exemplarily, the heat exchange component 30 further includes an inlet and an outlet, both of which are in communication with the medium flow channel 312 .
[0111] Here, the inlet and outlet of the heat exchange assembly 30 are used to be connected to the pipelines of the air conditioning system of the vehicle or the electrical device or a liquid storage device such as a water tank.
[0112] For example, see Figure 3 The heat exchange component 30 further includes a connecting member 34 having an inlet and a connecting member 34 having an outlet, and the connecting member 34 is connected to the rigid member 32 .
[0113] For example, the connection member 34 is connected to the rigid member 32 by soldering.
[0114] Exemplarily, the connection member 34 is, for example, a water tap.
[0115] The principle of heat exchange of the heat exchange component 30 for the battery cell 10 is as follows: the heat exchange medium output by the heat exchange medium source (not shown) enters the medium flow channel 312 through the inlet of the heat exchange component 30, and after the heat exchange medium exchanges heat with the battery cell 10, the heat exchange medium flows out through the outlet of the heat exchange component 30, completing the heat exchange of the battery cell 10.
[0116] Here, the heat exchange component 30 exchanging heat with the battery cell 10 may be to dissipate heat from the battery cell 10 or to heat the battery cell 10 .
[0117] The principle of heat dissipation of the battery cell 10 by the heat exchange component 30 is as follows: the heat exchange medium output by the heat exchange medium source enters the medium flow channel 312 through the inlet of the heat exchange component 30, and after the heat exchange medium absorbs the heat generated by the battery cell 10 during operation, the heat exchange medium flows out through the outlet of the heat exchange component 30, releasing the heat, thereby completing the cooling and heat dissipation of the battery cell 10.
[0118] The principle of the heat exchange component 30 heating the battery cell 10 is as follows: the heat exchange medium output by the heat exchange medium source enters the medium flow channel 312 through the inlet of the heat exchange component 30, and the heat exchange medium transfers heat to the battery cell 10. After heating the battery cell 10, the heat exchange medium flows out through the outlet of the heat exchange component 30, completing the heating of the battery cell 10.
[0119] The flexible part 31 is set as a flexible structure, and the flexible part 31 has certain expandable or contractible characteristics. It can also be understood that the flexible part 31 can be an elastically deformable structure. The flexible part 31 has the ability to deform and restore deformation, so that the heat exchange component 30 can be formed into a contoured structure. The heat exchange component 30 can better adapt to the external contour shape of the battery cell 10 or other components to improve the fit between the heat exchange component 30 and the box body 20 and / or the battery cell 10, thereby increasing the effective heat exchange area between the heat exchange component 30 and the box body 20 and / or the battery cell 10, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0120] It should be noted that the flexible part 31 can have conductive properties, which is conducive to maintaining an equipotential setting with the box body 20; the flexible part 31 can also have electrical insulation properties, without the need for insulation treatment, which is conducive to reducing the leakage risk and production cost of the battery device 100, thereby improving the reliability of the battery device 100.
[0121] It should be noted that the specific location of the heat exchange assembly 30 is not limited here.
[0122] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 2 The box body 20 and the heat exchange assembly 30 are arranged to form a receiving chamber 23 , and the battery cell 10 is arranged in the receiving chamber 23 .
[0123] That is, the heat exchange assembly 30 constitutes the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 23, which is beneficial to reduce the material used for the box body 20, and further helps to reduce the weight of the battery device 100 and reduce the cost of the battery device 100. In addition, the heat exchange assembly 30 can also be in direct contact with the battery cell 10, further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchange assembly 30 and the battery cell 10.
[0124] Exemplarily, the heat exchange assembly 30 constitutes the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 23 , and the battery cell 10 is supported by the heat exchange assembly 30 .
[0125] Here, the flexible member 31 may be disposed on a side of the rigid member 32 facing the battery cell 10 , or may be disposed on a side of the rigid member 32 facing away from the battery cell 10 .
[0126] Exemplarily, the rigid member 32 is connected to the box body 20 by welding or screwing.
[0127] In other embodiments, the heat exchange assembly 30 may be disposed inside the housing 20, that is, it may be in direct contact with the battery cell 10. It may also be disposed outside the housing 20, that is, the housing 20 is provided with a receiving cavity 23, and the heat exchange assembly 30 is disposed outside the receiving cavity 23, and heat is transferred through the intermediate medium, thereby realizing heat exchange between the heat exchange assembly 30 and the battery cell 10.
[0128] That is, at least a portion of the heat exchange assembly 30 is disposed outside the box body 20 to separate the heat exchange assembly 30 from the battery cell 10 .
[0129] The box 20 is used to accommodate the battery cell 10, and the box 20 can be of various structures. Figure 2 The box body 20 includes a box body 21, and the box body 21 may include a first box body portion 211 and a second box body portion 212. The first box body portion 211 and the second box body portion 212 cover each other. The first box body portion 211, the second box body portion 212 and the heat exchange assembly 30 jointly define a storage space for accommodating the battery cell 10.
[0130] Exemplarily, the second box body portion 212 can be a frame structure with openings at both ends, the first box body portion 211 is a plate-like structure, the first box body portion 211 covers the opening at one end of the second box body portion 212, and the heat exchange component 30 is arranged at the opening at the other end of the second box body portion 212 to form a accommodating cavity 23.
[0131] The first box body 211 and the second box body 212 can also be hollow structures with one side open, and the open side of the first box body 211 covers the open side of the second box body 212 to form a box body 21 with a storage space. Of course, the first box body 211 and the second box body 212 can be in various shapes, such as a cylinder, a cuboid, etc.
[0132] In order to improve the sealing performance after the first box body 211 and the second box body 212 are connected, a sealing member, such as a sealant, a sealing ring, etc., may also be provided between the first box body 211 and the second box body 212 .
[0133] Assuming that the first box body portion 211 covers the top of the second box body portion 212 , the first box body portion 211 can also be referred to as an upper box cover, and the second box body portion 212 can also be referred to as a lower box cover.
[0134] For example, please refer to Figure 2 The battery device 100 further includes a bottom guard plate 22 , which is disposed on a side of the heat exchange assembly 30 that is away from the battery cell 10 .
[0135] Here, by arranging the bottom guard plate 22 on the side of the heat exchange assembly 30 away from the battery cell 10 , it can be used to protect the heat exchange assembly 30 and the box body 20 , reduce the impact of foreign objects on the box body 20 during driving, and improve the reliability of the battery device 100 .
[0136] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 to Figure 6 The flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 are hot pressed to form a hot pressing area 311 and a medium flow channel 312 , and the flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 are connected to each other in at least a part of the hot pressing area 311 .
[0137] That is, the flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 are connected by hot pressing, and the hot pressing area 311 and the medium flow channel 312 are formed by hot pressing. The flow channel area is used to conduct the medium flow channel 312. This molding method is simple.
[0138] Here, the flexible member 31 is sealed by a hot pressing process, and the hot pressing process can effectively ensure that the heat exchange component 30 has good sealing performance and is not prone to cracking.
[0139] In this embodiment, the flexible member 31 is sealed by a hot pressing process, that is, a hot pressing area 311 is formed by hot pressing. The hot pressing area 311 separates the heat exchange component 30 to form at least one medium flow channel 312. This molding method is simple.
[0140] Exemplarily, the heat-pressing area 311 includes a heat-sealing area and a non-heat-sealing area, and the non-heat-sealing area and the medium flow channel 312 are respectively located on both sides of the heat-sealing area, which is conducive to reducing the width of the heat-sealing area, improving the problem of excessive temperature caused by the heat-sealing area being too wide, affecting the heat-pressing quality and damaging the flexible member 31. In addition, the non-heat-sealing area can also form a buffer zone for stress release when the flexible member 31 is folded, improving the situation where stress concentration occurs in the heat-sealing area and causes damage to the heat-sealing area.
[0141] In the related art, the heat exchange component is formed by welding high-strength aluminum alloy. However, since high-strength aluminum alloy (5 series, 6 series, etc.) has a high alloy content, alloy elements will precipitate during welding, affecting the welding quality.
[0142] In the embodiment of the present application, the heat exchange component 30 is configured to include a flexible part 31 and a rigid part 32, and the flexible part 31 and the rigid part 32 are hot pressed to form a hot pressing area 311 and a medium flow channel 312. The hot pressing temperature (150°C ± 10°C) is lower than the brazing temperature in the related art, and alloy elements will not precipitate, which is beneficial to further improve the structural strength of the heat exchange component 30.
[0143] The flexible member 31 may include the anti-corrosion layer, the rigid member 32 may include the anti-corrosion layer, or both the flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 may include the anti-corrosion layer.
[0144] Here, by providing an anti-corrosion layer, the problem of corrosion of the heat exchange component 30 by the heat exchange medium, external corrosive substances, etc. can be improved.
[0145] The battery device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a housing 20, a heat exchange assembly 30 and a plurality of battery cells 10, wherein the plurality of battery cells 10 are arranged in the housing 20, and the housing 20 protects the battery cells 10. The heat exchange assembly 30 is used to exchange heat with the battery cells 10. On the one hand, by setting at least one heat exchange member as a flexible member 31, the weight of the flexible member 31 is relatively light, which is conducive to reducing the weight of the heat exchange assembly 30, reducing the production cost of the heat exchange assembly 30, and reducing the weight of the battery device 100; in addition, the flexible member 31 has a certain flexibility, which can make the heat exchange assembly 30 better fit with the housing 20 and / or the battery cell 10, thereby absorbing the assembly tolerance of the heat exchange assembly 30, without using a caulking agent or a heat conductive material, improving the fit between the heat exchange assembly 30 and the housing 20 and / or the battery cell 10, and increasing the effective heat exchange area between the heat exchange assembly 30 and the housing 20 and / or the battery cell 10, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange effect of the heat exchange assembly 30. On the other hand, by setting at least one heat exchange component as a rigid component 32, the flexible component 31 and the rigid component 32 are stacked to form at least one medium flow channel 312, and the rigid component 32 can support the flexible component 31, which is beneficial to improving the overall structural strength and stability of the heat exchange component 30, and further improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange effect of the heat exchange component 30; in addition, by setting the rigid component 32, the heat exchange component 30 has sufficient structural strength for carrying the battery cell 10, thereby improving the applicability of the heat exchange component 30. On the other hand, by setting at least one of the flexible component 31 and the rigid component 32 to include an anti-corrosion layer, the setting of the anti-corrosion layer is beneficial to improving the anti-corrosion performance of the heat exchange component 30, and improves the problem of corrosion of the heat exchange medium, external corrosive substances, etc. to the heat exchange component 30, thereby improving the reliability of the heat exchange component 30.
[0146] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The flexible member 31 includes a reinforcing portion 316 and a flexible portion 317 , and an elastic modulus of the flexible portion 317 is smaller than an elastic modulus of the reinforcing portion 316 .
[0147] Exemplarily, the reinforcing portion 316 is located at the dotted frame of the flexible member 31 . Of course, in different embodiments, the reinforcing portion 316 may be formed at different positions of the flexible member 31 according to requirements.
[0148] The elastic modulus of the flexible portion 317 is smaller than that of the reinforcing portion 316, that is, the flexible member 31 includes regions with different elastic moduli. Thus, according to requirements, a part of the region of the flexible member 31 can be set as the reinforcing portion 316 so that the elastic modulus of the region is greater than that of the flexible portion 317, thereby making the flexible member 31 have a flexible function and reducing the weight of the flexible member 31, while also facilitating improving the overall structural strength and stability of the flexible member 31.
[0149] Here, the elastic modulus of the reinforcing portion 316 may be equal to the elastic modulus of the rigid member 32 , may be smaller than the elastic modulus of the rigid member 32 , or may be larger than the elastic modulus of the rigid member 32 .
[0150] Exemplarily, the number of the reinforcement part 316 may be one or more.
[0151] Exemplarily, the number of the flexible portion 317 may be one or more.
[0152] Exemplarily, there are multiple reinforcing portions 316 , which are arranged at intervals and / or staggered, and the flexible portion 317 is arranged between adjacent reinforcing portions 316 , thereby improving the overall structural strength of the flexible member 31 .
[0153] Exemplarily, at least a portion of the reinforcement portion 316 extends along the length direction of the box body 20 .
[0154] Exemplarily, at least a portion of the reinforcement portion 316 extends along the width direction of the box body 20 .
[0155] Exemplarily, a portion of the reinforcement portion 316 extends along the length direction of the box body 20 , and the reinforcement portions 316 extending along the length direction of the box body 20 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the box body 20 , and another portion of the reinforcement portion 316 extends along the width direction of the box body 20 .
[0156] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 , at least part of the reinforcement portion 316 is disposed on the edge of the flexible member 31 .
[0157] In this way, the overall structural strength and stability of the flexible member 31 can be further improved.
[0158] Exemplarily, the flexible member 31 may be connected to the rigid member 32 via a reinforcing portion 316 disposed at an edge of the flexible member 31 .
[0159] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The flexible portion 317 forms at least a portion of the medium flow channel 312 .
[0160] That is to say, the flexible portion 317 may be partially formed with the medium flow channel 312 , the reinforcing portion 316 may also be partially formed with the medium flow channel 312 , or the medium flow channels 312 may all be formed in the flexible portion 317 .
[0161] Here, by forming the flexible portion 317 with at least a portion of the medium flow channel 312 , the flexibility of the flexible portion 317 can enable the heat exchange surface of the heat exchange assembly 30 to better contact with the battery cell 10 , thereby providing better heat exchange capacity.
[0162] It is understandable that there are many ways in which the elastic modulus of the flexible portion 317 is smaller than the elastic modulus of the reinforcing portion 316 .
[0163] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flexible portion 317 is less than the thickness of the reinforcing portion 316 .
[0164] That is, the flexible member 31 can be thinned at the flexible portion 317 so that the thickness of the flexible portion 317 is smaller than the thickness of the reinforcing portion 316 , thereby making the elastic modulus of the flexible portion 317 smaller than the elastic modulus of the reinforcing portion 316 . This manufacturing method is simple.
[0165] Exemplarily, the flexible member 31 is a layered structure, and the number of layers of the flexible member 31 located in the flexible portion 317 is set to be smaller than the number of layers of the flexible member 31 located in the reinforcing portion 316 , so that the thickness of the flexible portion 317 is smaller than the thickness of the reinforcing portion 316 .
[0166] In some embodiments, the material of the flexible portion 317 is different from the material of the reinforcing portion 316 .
[0167] That is, by setting the material of the flexible portion 317 and the material of the reinforcing portion 316 to be different, the elastic modulus of the flexible portion 317 is smaller than the elastic modulus of the reinforcing portion 316 .
[0168] In some embodiments, see Figures 3 to 5 The anti-corrosion layer includes a first anti-corrosion layer 313 , and the first anti-corrosion layer 313 is provided in at least the region where the medium flow channel 312 is formed on the rigid member 32 .
[0169] That is to say, at least the area of the rigid part 32 that contacts the heat exchange medium is provided with a first anti-corrosion layer 313, and the first anti-corrosion layer 313 serves to separate the heat exchange medium and the rigid part 32, thereby improving the situation where the heat exchange medium damages the rigid part 32, that is, reducing the corrosion and leakage of the heat exchange medium.
[0170] Here, the first anti-corrosion layer 313 is, for example, a heat exchange medium resistant layer. For example, in an embodiment where the heat exchange medium is water, the first anti-corrosion layer 313 may be a waterproof layer.
[0171] In this embodiment, by providing a first anti-corrosion layer 313 in the area of the rigid part 32 where at least the medium flow channel 312 is formed, the first anti-corrosion layer 313 can improve the situation where the heat exchange medium damages the rigid part 32, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the heat exchange component 30.
[0172] Here, the rigid part 32 may be provided with the first anti-corrosion layer 313 only in the area where the medium flow channel 312 is formed. The rigid part 32 may also be covered with the first anti-corrosion layer 313 on the side facing the flexible part 31, so that the problem of the heat exchange medium damaging the rigid part 32 can be further improved, and the reliability of the heat exchange assembly 30 can be further improved.
[0173] In some embodiments, the first anti-corrosion layer 313 is configured as a metal plasticized film.
[0174] The first anti-corrosion layer 313 is a single-layer or multi-layer film.
[0175] Here, the metal-plasticized film is a metal-plastic composite material, that is, it includes a metal layer and a plastic layer.
[0176] In this embodiment, since the metal plastic film is thin and light in weight, and the medium flow channel 312 is formed between the metal plastic film and the flexible member 31, it is not affected by the extrusion process and does not need to meet the larger thickness requirement, so the thickness and weight of the heat exchange component 30 can be reduced. At the same time, since the heat exchange component 30 has the characteristics of insulation, the possibility of insulation failure can be reduced. The possibility of the rigid member 32 reacting with the heat exchange medium flowing inside is reduced, and the possibility of corrosion and leakage of the heat exchange medium is further reduced.
[0177] In some embodiments, the first anti-corrosion layer 313 is configured as an aluminum-plastic film.

[0179] Exemplarily, the first anti-corrosion layer 313 includes one or more of polypropylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polyphthalamide and polyethylene.
[0180] Here, polypropylene (PP), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyphthalamide (PPA) or polyethylene (PE) has good corrosion resistance, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of corrosion leakage of heat exchange medium. And it can be formed on rigid parts by hot pressing.

[0183] In some embodiments, the first anti-corrosion layer 313 is formed on the rigid component 32 by hot pressing.
[0184] This manufacturing method is simple, low-cost, and helps to improve the connection reliability between the first anti-corrosion layer 313 and the rigid component 32.
[0185] Exemplarily, the flexible member 31 is provided with a first anti-corrosion layer 313 .
[0186] Here, the flexible member 31 may be provided with the first anti-corrosion layer 313 at least in the region where the medium flow channel 312 is formed, and the flexible member 31 may also be covered with the first anti-corrosion layer 313 on the side facing the rigid member 32 .
[0187] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , the anti-corrosion layer includes a second anti-corrosion layer 315 .
[0188] Here, the second anti-corrosion layer 315 is disposed on the outside of the heat exchange component 30 to reduce the corrosion of the heat exchange component 30 by external corrosive substances.
[0189] Exemplarily, the second anti-corrosion layer 315 has good acid and alkali corrosion resistance.
[0190] Exemplarily, a second anti-corrosion layer 315 is provided on a side of the rigid component 32 facing away from the flexible component 31 .
[0191] That is to say, a second anti-corrosion layer 315 is provided on the side of the rigid part 32 facing away from the medium flow channel 312 , i.e., on the outer side of the rigid part 32 . The second anti-corrosion layer 315 can reduce the corrosion of the rigid part 32 by external corrosive substances, thereby improving the reliability of the heat exchange component 30 .
[0192] Exemplarily, a second anti-corrosion layer 315 is provided on a side of the flexible member 31 facing away from the rigid member 32 .
[0193] That is to say, a second anti-corrosion layer 315 is provided on the side of the flexible member 31 facing away from the medium flow channel 312 , i.e., on the outside of the flexible member 31 . The second anti-corrosion layer 315 can reduce the corrosion of the flexible member 31 by external corrosive substances, thereby improving the reliability of the heat exchange assembly 30 .
[0194] In some embodiments, the side of the heat exchange component 30 is provided with a second anti-corrosion layer 315. That is, the second anti-corrosion layer 315 covers the side of the heat exchange component 30.
[0195] In this way, on the one hand, the second anti-corrosion layer 315 can reduce the corrosion of the sides of the flexible part 31 and the rigid part 32 by external corrosive substances. On the other hand, it can also reduce the penetration of external corrosive substances into the gap between the flexible part 31 and the rigid part 32 from the connection between the flexible part 31 and the rigid part 32, thereby further improving the reliability of the heat exchange assembly 30.
[0196] In some embodiments, one of the flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 forms a flange portion, and the flange portion at least covers a side edge of the other one.
[0197] Exemplarily, the flexible member 31 forms a flange portion, and the flange portion at least covers the side edge of the rigid member 32 .
[0198] The flange portion at least covers the side of the rigid component 32 , which means that the flange portion may only cover the side of the rigid component 32 , or may cover part of the side wall of the rigid component 32 facing away from the flexible component 31 .
[0199] Exemplarily, the rigid member 32 forms a flange portion, and the flange portion at least covers the side edge of the flexible member 31 .
[0200] The flange portion at least covers the side of the flexible member 31 , which means that the flange portion may only cover the side of the flexible member 31 , or may cover part of the side wall of the flexible member 31 facing away from the rigid member 32 .
[0201] In this embodiment, by forming a flange portion and covering at least the side of the other one of them with the flange portion, it is further helpful to reduce the penetration of external corrosive substances from the connection between the flexible part 31 and the rigid part 32 into the gap between the flexible part 31 and the rigid part 32, thereby further improving the reliability of the heat exchange component 30.
[0202] In some embodiments, the second anti-corrosion layer 315 includes nylon.
[0203] Here, the second anti-corrosion layer 315 may be a nylon layer formed of nylon material, so that it has certain corrosion resistance, for example, resistance to acid and alkali corrosion.
[0204] In some embodiments, the flexible member 31 includes a metal plasticized film.
[0205] The flexible member 31 is a single-layer or multi-layer film.
[0206] Here, the metal-plasticized film is a metal-plastic composite material, that is, it includes a metal layer and a plastic layer.
[0207] In this embodiment, since the metal plastic film is thin and light in weight, and the medium flow channel 312 is formed between the metal plastic film and the heat exchanger, it is not affected by the extrusion process and does not need to meet the larger thickness requirement, so the thickness and weight of the heat exchange component 30 can be reduced. At the same time, since the heat exchange component 30 has the characteristics of insulation, the possibility of insulation failure can be reduced. The risk of the heat exchange component 30 reacting with the heat exchange medium flowing inside is reduced, and the possibility of corrosion and leakage of the heat exchange medium is further reduced.
[0208] Exemplarily, the flexible member 31 comprises an aluminum-plastic film.
[0209] Aluminum-plastic film has high barrier properties, good cold stamping formability, puncture resistance, electrolyte stability, and electrical insulation.

[0212] Exemplarily, the metal layer and the non-metal layer may be formed by hot pressing or hot melting.
[0213] Here, the number of metal layers and non-metal layers is not limited.
[0214] In this embodiment, the flexible member 31, which is formed by stacking metal layers and non-metal layers in sequence, is thin and light in weight, and by forming a medium flow channel 312 between the flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32, it is not affected by the extrusion process and does not need to meet a large thickness requirement, so the overall thickness and weight of the heat exchange component 30 can be reduced. In addition, the heat exchange component 30 will not react with the heat exchange medium flowing inside, so there is no possibility of corrosion leakage.
[0215] In some embodiments, the flexible member 31 is a layered structure, and the flexible member 31 includes a metal layer and a non-metal layer, which are stacked in sequence, wherein the non-metal layer is arranged on the side of the metal layer facing the rigid member 32 .

[0218] In some embodiments, the metal layer includes one or more of aluminum foil, copper foil, and steel foil.

[0223] In some embodiments, the non-metallic layer is a hot melt layer.
[0224] Here, by setting the non-metallic layer as a hot-melt layer, that is, composed of a hot-melt material, it is advantageous to combine the non-metallic layer with the metal layer through hot melting, which makes molding simple and the production efficiency high.

[0242] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flexible member 31 is 0.05 mm-0.3 mm.
[0243] For example, it is any point value of 0.05mm, 0.06mm, 0.07mm, 0.08mm, 0.09mm, 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, 0.21mm, 0.22mm, 0.25mm, 0.27mm, 0.28mm, and 0.3mm, or a point value between any two of them.
[0244] In this embodiment, by setting the thickness of the flexible part 31 to 0.05mm-0.3mm, the heat exchange component 30 made of the flexible part 31 has a certain structural strength, and the overall thickness of the heat exchange component 30 is smaller, which is beneficial to reducing the overall volume and weight of the battery device 100, so as to increase the energy density of the battery device 100.
[0245] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flexible member 31 is 0.08 mm-0.2 mm.

[0248] In some embodiments, the elastic modulus of the flexible member 31 is 0.1 MPa-10000 MPa.
[0249] Exemplarily, the elastic modulus of the flexible member 31 can be any one of 0.1 MPa, 1 MPa, 50 MPa, 100 MPa, 150 MPa, 200 MPa, 300 MPa, 500 MPa, 800 MPa, 1000 MPa, 1300 MPa, 1500 MPa, 1800 MPa, 2000 MPa, 2500 MPa, 2800 MPa, 3000 MPa, 3500 MPa, 4000 MPa, 4500 MPa, 5000 MPa, 5500 MPa, 6000 MPa, 6500 MPa, 7000 MPa, 7500 MPa, 8000 MPa, 8500 MPa, 8800 MPa, 9000 MPa, 9500 MPa, 9700 MPa, and 10000 MPa, or any point value between any two of them.
[0250] The elastic modulus describes the unit strain caused by unit stress when a solid is subjected to force within a certain range. It is one of the basic physical quantities of a material. The larger the elastic modulus, the greater the stiffness of the material and the greater its compressive resistance. The elastic modulus is a physical quantity that describes the elasticity of a material.
[0251] In this embodiment, by setting the elastic modulus of the flexible part 31 to 0.1MPa-10000MPa, the flexible part 31 has a certain structural strength, thereby improving the reliability of the heat exchange component 30, and has a certain deformation ability, which can improve the fit between the heat exchange component 30 and the case 20 and / or the battery cell 10, thereby increasing the effective heat exchange area between the heat exchange component 30 and the case 20 and / or the battery cell 10, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange effect of the heat exchange component 30.

[0253] In some embodiments, the rigid member 32 is configured as a metal plate.
[0254] By way of example, it may be an aluminum alloy.
[0255] In this embodiment, by setting the rigid part 32 as a metal plate, the metal plate has both good structural strength and good thermal conductivity. That is to say, while satisfying the heat exchange component 30 with a certain heat exchange efficiency, the rigid part 32 can also play a certain supporting role for the flexible part 31.
[0256] In some embodiments, the medium flow channel 312 includes a plurality of sub-flow channels, each battery cell 10 corresponds to a plurality of sub-flow channels, and an extension direction of the sub-flow channels corresponding to the battery cell 10 is perpendicular to a length direction of the battery cell 10 .
[0257] The plurality of sub-flow channels are connected to form a medium flow channel 312 .
[0258] The extension direction of the sub-channels is perpendicular to the length direction of the battery cell 10 , that is, the multiple sub-channels are arranged along the length direction of the battery cell 10 , so that the length direction of the battery cell 10 corresponds to the multiple sub-channels.
[0259] It can be understood that the temperature of the heat exchange medium will gradually increase along the flow direction of the heat exchange medium. Therefore, by corresponding each battery cell 10 to multiple sub-flow channels, it is helpful to improve the uniformity of the temperature of the battery cell 10.
[0260] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figures 2 to 6 The battery includes a housing 20, a heat exchange assembly 30 and a plurality of battery cells 10.

The elastic modulus of at least a portion of the flexible member 31 is smaller than the elastic modulus of the rigid member 32. The flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 are stacked to form at least one medium flow channel 312. At least one medium flow channel 312 is used to conduct a heat exchange medium, and the heat exchange medium is used to exchange heat with the plurality of battery cells 10. The flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 are formed by hot pressing a hot pressing area 311 and a medium flow channel 312, and the flexible member 31 and the rigid member 32 are connected to each other in at least a portion of the hot pressing area 311.
[0261] In a specific embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 to Figure 4 The flexible member 31 is a layered structure. The flexible member 31 includes a first anti-corrosion layer 313, an isolation layer 314, and a second anti-corrosion layer 315 arranged in sequence. The first anti-corrosion layer 313 is closer to the medium flow channel 312 than the second anti-corrosion layer 315. The thickness of the isolation layer 314 is 6.5μm-15μm. The thickness of the first anti-corrosion layer 313 is 5μm-20μm. The thickness of the second anti-corrosion layer 315 is 50μm-120μm. The thickness of the flexible member 31 is 0.05mm-0.3mm. The elastic modulus of the flexible member 31 is 0.1MPa-10000MPa.
[0262] The elastic modulus of the flexible member 31 may be measured by at least one of a static tensile test method, a dynamic test method, a sonic velocity method, a nanoindentation method, and a bending method. The measuring instrument may include a nanoindenter and a universal testing machine.
[0263] For example, the elastic modulus of the flexible member 31 can be measured at room temperature and pressure by a nanoindentation method, which uses a tiny indenter to indent the surface of the flexible member 31 and calculates the elastic modulus by analyzing the relationship between the indentation depth and the load.
