[0043] On the bottom of the top plate 3, a second cooling plate 301 is installed. On both sides of the top plate 3, side water inlets 302 are installed. Multiple groups of the side water inlets 302 are interconnected with the second cooling plate 301, and the bottom of the second cooling plate 301 is interconnected with the top of the internal cooling plate 4;

[0044] Inside the top plate 3, multiple groups of fans 303 are installed, and the multiple groups of fans 303 are installed above the second cooling plate 301.

[0045] Furthermore, outer protection plates 103 are arranged on the outside of multiple groups of the battery bodies 101, and inner protection plates 105 are installed between multiple groups of the battery bodies 101;

[0046] On the outside of the internal cooling plate 4, multiple groups of fixing components 5 are installed. The fixing component 5 includes a fixing plate 501. On one side of the fixing plate 501, a telescopic rod 502 is installed. At one end of the telescopic rod 502, a top plate 503 is installed. A spring 504 is sleeved outside the telescopic rod 502, and the top plate 503 abuts against the outside of the battery body 101.

[0047] Furthermore, a water outlet groove 102 is opened inside the base 1. Drainage ports 106 are installed around the base 2. Multiple groups of the drainage ports 106 are interconnected with the water outlet groove 102, and multiple groups of the water outlet ports 203 and the bottom of the internal cooling plate 4 are both connected to the water outlet groove 102.

[0048] Furthermore, a connecting pipe 206 is installed on the top of the outer plate 2. At one end of the connecting pipe 206, a water inlet 205 is installed. A filter box 204 is connected between the water inlet 205 and the connecting pipe 206;

[0051] Furthermore, a filter plate 304 is installed on the top of the top plate 3, and the filter plate 304 is installed directly above the fans 303.

[0052] Working principle of the present invention: By providing a base 1, during use, after fixing multiple battery bodies 101 above the base 1, after startup, the internal cooling plate 4 provided inside and the cooling plate 1 201 provided around can directly dissipate heat from the multiple battery bodies 101. The outer plate 2 provided on the outside can protect the outside of the battery bodies 101. The cooling plate 2 301 on the top can dissipate heat from the top of the multiple battery bodies 101. The seawater entering the inside of the cooling plate 2 301 from the side water inlet 302 will directly enter the inside of the internal cooling plate 4 under the cooling of the fan 303, and then be discharged from the bottom of the internal cooling plate 4. The upper fan 303 can blow away the hot air at the top of the battery bodies 101 and can further cool the cooling plate 2 301, so that the temperature of the seawater inside the cooling plate 2 301 will not rise further. Such a setting can cool the surroundings of the multiple battery bodies 101, greatly improving the cooling efficiency and reducing the generation of cooling dead corners. Using seawater as the coolant can further reduce the cost input in terms of water resources, reduce the cooling cost, and improve the cooling efficiency. By providing a fixing component 5, the distance between the multiple battery bodies 101 can be further fixed. At the same time, in cooperation with the outer guard plate 103 and the inner guard plate 105 at the bottom, the effect of positioning and fixing between the multiple battery bodies 101 can be achieved. The provided spring 504 can ensure that the battery bodies 101 can have a good buffering effect when stressed, effectively preventing the occurrence of tipping and skewing phenomena, and further improving the practicality. By providing a water outlet groove 102, during use, the hot water discharged from the inside of the cooling plate 1 201 and the internal cooling plate 4 can be discharged from the inside of the multiple drain ports 106 at the same time. This can further improve the collection efficiency of the cooling seawater and improve the practicality of the device. By providing a communication pipe 206, during use, the effect of simultaneously introducing water at multiple locations on the top of the cooling plate 1 201 can be achieved, thus improving the circulation efficiency of seawater inside the cooling plate 1 201 and effectively improving the cooling efficiency of the battery bodies 101. By providing a control panel 6, during use, the temperature of the multiple battery bodies 101 inside can be monitored in real time from the outside, further improving the practicality. By providing a filter plate 304, during use, the outside air can be further filtered to prevent sundries from entering the fan 303 and damaging the fan 303. By providing a filter box 204, during use, the cooling seawater can be further filtered, effectively preventing the inside of the cooling plate 1 201 from being blocked, and improving the stability of use. By providing that the internal cooling plate 4, the cooling plate 2 301, and the cooling plate 1 201 are all made of copper-zinc alloy material, an effective heat conduction effect can be achieved, and during long-term use, the corrosion resistance is strong and the service life is long.

[0053] This device solves the problems that the existing battery cooling devices generally use air cooling, making it difficult to utilize seawater in the offshore and marine environments, and most of the current cooling plates are in the form of straight plates, which is relatively conventional and the heat dissipation efficiency needs to be improved.
