Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of battery thermal management, and particularly to a novel hybrid cooling battery thermal management system. Background Art

[0002] Lithium batteries, as new energy storage media, have significant advantages, mainly reflected in high energy density, long cycle life, high efficiency, fast response, and environmental friendliness. These advantages make lithium batteries the mainstream choice in the field of new energy storage and are widely used in scenarios such as home energy storage, power grid peak shaving, and renewable energy storage.

[0003] Operating lithium-ion batteries in a high-temperature environment poses significant risks, mainly including accelerated internal chemical reactions of the battery, decomposition of the electrolyte, damage to the structures of the positive and negative electrode materials, and thermal runaway. High temperature can lead to an intensification of side reactions inside the battery. For example, the reaction between the electrolyte and the electrode material generates gas, increasing the internal pressure of the battery, which may cause the battery to expand or even rupture. At the same time, high temperature accelerates the decomposition of the electrolyte, reducing its ionic conductivity and affecting the battery performance. In addition, the positive electrode material (such as ternary material) may undergo a phase change or oxygen evolution at high temperature, while the negative electrode material (such as graphite) may form lithium dendrites, increasing the risk of short circuit. The most serious situation is thermal runaway, that is, the internal temperature of the battery rises sharply, triggering a chain exothermic reaction, and ultimately resulting in the battery catching fire or exploding. Therefore, a high-temperature environment poses a major threat to the safety, life, and performance of lithium-ion batteries, and effective thermal management systems and temperature monitoring measures must be adopted to prevent this.

[0004] Currently, the methods of battery thermal management systems on the market are to use phase change materials or liquid cooling systems for heat dissipation: Phase change materials do not require external energy input and have low energy consumption, but their thermal conductivity is usually low, and single-phase change material heat dissipation may lead to uneven heat distribution; Liquid cooling systems have good heat dissipation performance but high energy consumption, which is not conducive to environmental protection and energy conservation.

[0005] In view of this, a novel hybrid cooling battery thermal management system is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Aiming at the problem that the existing battery thermal management system cannot balance heat dissipation performance and energy consumption, the present invention provides a novel hybrid cooling battery thermal management system that can balance the heat dissipation performance and energy consumption of the battery thermal management system. The specific technical solutions are as follows:

[0007] A novel hybrid cooling battery thermal management system, the system includes: a battery pack, a cooling rack, and a phase change sheet;

[0008] The cooling rack includes a first main pipe, a second main pipe, and a plurality of parallel sub-pipes. Each sub-pipe is respectively connected to the first main pipe and the second main pipe. The coolant inlet of the cooling rack is located in the first main pipe, and the coolant outlet of the cooling rack is located in the second main pipe. The cooling rack is used for the circulation of coolant. The first main pipe and the second main pipe are respectively arranged on opposite side surfaces of the battery pack, and the side surface of the sub-pipe is attached to the side surface of the battery pack. The phase change sheet is closely arranged against the side surfaces of the sub-pipe and the battery pack.

[0009] Preferably, the cooling rack includes a first cooling rack and a second cooling rack. The first main pipe of the first cooling rack and the first main pipe of the second cooling rack are fixedly connected, and the second main pipe of the first cooling rack and the second main pipe of the second cooling rack are fixedly connected. The battery pack is surrounded by the fixedly connected first cooling rack and second cooling rack.

[0010] Preferably, the battery pack includes a copper battery pack busbar, 4 positive plates, 4 negative plates, and 4 battery cells. The 4 battery cells are arranged in parallel at intervals. Each battery cell is respectively connected to the positive plate and the negative plate in a one-to-one correspondence. For two adjacent battery cells, the positive plate connected to one of them and the negative plate connected to the other are connected through the copper battery pack busbar.

[0011] Preferably, the phase change material filled in the phase change sheet includes n-heptane.

[0012] Preferably, the material of the cooling rack includes aluminum.

[0013] Preferably, the number of sub-pipes is 6.

[0014] Preferably, the parallel spacing between any two adjacent sub-pipes is the same.

[0015] Preferably, the cross-section of the sub-pipe is a square with side length D*D. The length of the battery cell is 20D, the height is 20D, and the parallel spacing is 1.66D. Wherein, D is a preset reference length.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The battery pack is cooled by combining a phase change material with liquid cooling. The phase change sheet can absorb a large amount of heat when the battery generates heat, delay the temperature rise, reduce the load of the liquid cooling system, and improve the energy consumption of the thermal management system. After the liquid cooling system is started, the coolant can quickly take away the heat stored in the phase change sheet, restart the phase change sheet, and ensure that the battery pack can still maintain a stable operating temperature under high-temperature or high-load conditions. In addition, the parallel sub-pipes attached to the side surface of the battery pack can make the coolant evenly distributed on the side surface of the battery pack during circulation, improve the heat dissipation performance and control efficiency of the thermal management system. At the same time, the simple structure is convenient for production and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the thermal management system. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0024] Liquid-cooled batteries have significant advantages as energy storage batteries, mainly reflected in aspects such as efficient thermal management capabilities, stable performance, long lifespan, and high safety. The liquid-cooling system can quickly and evenly absorb and dissipate heat by circulating a coolant (such as an ethylene glycol aqueous solution), ensuring that the battery operates within an appropriate temperature range, thereby effectively preventing performance degradation and lifespan shortening caused by overheating or overcooling of the battery. Compared with the air-cooling system, the liquid-cooling system has higher heat dissipation efficiency, especially suitable for energy storage scenarios with high energy density and high power requirements, and can significantly improve the charge-discharge efficiency and energy utilization rate of the battery. In addition, the liquid-cooling system can also reduce the uneven heat distribution inside the battery pack through precise temperature control, avoid safety hazards caused by local overheating, and further improve the reliability and safety of the system. The long lifespan of liquid-cooled batteries benefits from their optimized thermal management, which can effectively delay battery aging, reduce capacity decay, and thus lower the long-term operating cost of the energy storage system.

[0025] However, the energy consumption of the liquid-cooling system is relatively high, especially under high-temperature or high-load conditions, which may have a certain impact on the overall energy efficiency of the system (such as electric vehicles, server clusters) where it is located.

[0026] Phase change materials (PCMs) have unique advantages and limitations as thermal management solutions for energy storage batteries. Their advantages are mainly reflected in their efficient heat absorption and release capabilities: phase change materials can absorb a large amount of heat when undergoing a phase change within a specific temperature range, thereby effectively reducing the battery temperature and keeping the battery pack within an appropriate operating temperature range, avoiding overheating or overcooling problems. At the same time, their passive thermal management characteristics do not require external energy input, reducing system complexity and energy consumption. In addition, phase change materials have the advantages of being lightweight, having no moving parts, and high reliability, and are suitable for energy storage systems that are sensitive to space and weight. However, phase change materials also have some disadvantages: firstly, their thermal conductivity is usually low, which may lead to uneven heat distribution and requires combination with other thermal conductive materials to improve overall performance; secondly, the heat capacity of phase change materials is limited, and they may not be able to continuously and effectively cool down under extremely high temperatures or long-term high-load conditions; finally, the cost of phase change materials is relatively high, and their long-term stability and cycle service life still need to be further verified. In general, to improve performance,

[0027] The present invention combines a phase change material with liquid cooling to achieve long-term and effective performance control of batteries in a battery thermal management system. By combining the high-efficiency heat absorption capacity of the phase change material with the active heat dissipation performance of the liquid cooling system, more accurate and efficient temperature control can be achieved. When the battery temperature rises, the phase change material absorbs a large amount of heat, delaying the temperature rise and reducing the load on the liquid cooling system. After the liquid cooling system is started, the coolant can quickly remove the heat stored in the phase change material, ensuring that the battery pack can maintain a stable operating temperature under high-temperature or high-load conditions. This hybrid thermal management method not only improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the system, but also reduces the energy consumption and operating frequency of the liquid cooling system, thereby extending the battery life and improving safety. In addition, the passive thermal management characteristics of the phase change material reduce the dependence on external energy, while the flexibility of the liquid cooling system makes up for the deficiency of the phase change material in thermal conductivity, enabling the system to operate reliably in extreme environments. The present invention aims to invent a new type of high-efficiency phase change material and liquid cooling hybrid cooling system, providing a set of reliable, efficient, and low-energy-consuming battery solutions for future energy storage batteries.

[0028] An embodiment of the present application provides a battery thermal management system with a new type of hybrid cooling, which includes: a battery pack 11, a cooling rack 12, and a phase change sheet 13.

[0029] The cooling rack 12 includes a first main pipe, a second main pipe, and a plurality of parallel sub-pipes. Each sub-pipe is respectively connected to the first main pipe and the second main pipe; the coolant inlet of the cooling rack 12 (not shown in the figure) is located in the first main pipe, and the coolant outlet of the cooling rack 12 (not shown in the figure) is located in the second main pipe. The cooling rack 12 is used for the circulation of the coolant; the first main pipe and the second main pipe are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the battery pack 11, and the side surface of the sub-pipe is attached to the side surface of the battery pack 11; the phase change sheet 13 is attached to the side surfaces of the sub-pipe and the battery pack 11.

[0030] Preferably, as Figure 1 shown in the specific example of, the cooling rack 12 includes a first cooling rack and a second cooling rack. The first main pipe of the first cooling rack and the first main pipe of the second cooling rack are fixedly connected, and the second main pipe of the first cooling rack and the second main pipe of the second cooling rack are fixedly connected; the first cooling rack and the second cooling rack after being fixedly connected surround the battery pack. Such a structure facilitates the assembly and manufacture of the thermal management system.

[0031] It can be understood that in some other possible implementations, the thermal management system only includes one cooling rack 12; specifically, the first main pipe of the first cooling rack and the first main pipe of the second cooling rack in Figure 1 can be regarded as an integral first main pipe. The first main pipe is respectively connected to six sub-pipes on the left and right sides, and is connected to the second main pipe on the opposite side through the 12 sub-pipes (inFigure 1 The second main pipeline of the first cooling rack and the second main pipeline of the second cooling rack are regarded as a whole).

[0032] Preferably, the first main pipeline, the second main pipeline and all sub-pipelines are integrally formed; that is, the cooling rack 12 is integrally formed.

[0033] Preferably, the projection of the cooling rack 12 on the horizontal plane is rectangular. In this case, the space occupied by the cooling rack 12 and the battery pack 11 can be regarded as a rhombic prism, which is more convenient for the spatial layout when multiple battery packs 11 are jointly powered, and improves the space utilization rate of the system.

[0034] Preferably, the material of the cooling rack includes aluminum. When manufacturing batteries using phase change materials, the overweight cooling rack during the forming process is likely to damage the structure of the battery pack 11 or the comparison sheet 13, causing safety problems. To solve this problem, a lighter cooling rack is needed.

[0035] It can be understood that the thermal management system further includes a cooling unit (not shown in the figure), which is used to cool the coolant and input the cooled coolant into the cooling rack 12 through the coolant inlet of the first main pipeline; under the pumping action of the cooling unit, the cooled coolant reaches the second main pipeline through each sub-pipeline and returns to the cooling unit through the coolant outlet of the second main pipeline.

[0036] Among them, the battery pack 11 includes 4 sides, and the first main pipeline and the second main pipeline are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the battery pack 11, so that the sub-pipelines can be attached to a larger area of the side of the battery pack 11, so that the coolant flowing in the sub-pipelines can fully absorb the heat dissipated by the battery. It can be understood that the first main pipeline and the second main pipeline can be arranged on two relatively narrow opposite sides of the battery pack 11, or can be arranged on two relatively wide sides. Preferably, as Figure 1 shown in the specific example, the first main pipeline and the second main pipeline are arranged on two relatively narrow opposite sides of the battery pack 11 for setting phase change sheets.

[0037] It can be understood that the fitting described in this document refers to the fitting in the mechanical field, that is, connecting or assembling two or more mechanical components in a tight, flat and mutually contacting manner to achieve specific functions or meet certain performance requirements.

[0038] Optionally, the side of the sub-pipeline is fixedly connected to the side of the battery pack 11 by bonding or other means.

[0039] Optionally, the cooling rack 12 and the phase change sheet 13 form a frame as Figure 1 shown, and the internal space of the frame is adapted to the size of the battery pack 11, so that the frame can wrap the battery pack 11.

[0040] Preferably, as in Figure 1 In the specific example shown, the number of sub-pipes is 6. Through calculation and experiment, setting 6 sub-pipes can keep the cross-sectional size of the sub-pipes at a reasonable level, ensure the heat absorption efficiency when the system performs active liquid cooling, and at the same time, the coolant can evenly cover the battery pack 11.

[0041] Preferably, the parallel spacing between any two adjacent sub-pipes is the same. In this way, when the system performs active liquid cooling, the coolant can evenly cover the battery pack 11.

[0042] Among them, as in Figure 1 The shown cooling rack has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost. At the same time, it can prevent the excessive cooling pipes from increasing the heat dissipation energy consumption and affecting the service life during the production and use of the battery pack 11.

[0043] Preferably, as in Figure 1 shown, the battery pack 11 includes a copper battery pack busbar 114, 4 positive plates 112, 4 negative plates 113 and 4 battery cells 111. The 4 battery cells 111 are arranged in parallel at intervals; each battery cell 111 is respectively connected to the positive plate 112 and the negative plate 113 in a one-to-one correspondence; for two adjacent battery cells 111, the positive plate 112 connected to one of them is connected to the negative plate 113 connected to the other through the copper battery pack busbar 114.

[0044] It can be understood that for the sake of simplicity of the drawings, Figure 1 not all components and labels are connected by straight lines in

[0045] Among them, the battery cell 111 is connected to the external power consumption system through the positive and negative electrode tabs and the copper battery pack busbar 114.

[0046] The design of this thermal management system refers to the physical parameters of phase change materials, the cooling efficiency of cooling pipes, and the manufacturing process and related safety issues of the battery pack. With the goal of making the most efficient use of the latent heat of phase change materials and the optimal heat dissipation performance (including integrity and timeliness), the optimal overall size is calculated.

[0047] For details, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a multi-view schematic diagram of a novel hybrid-cooling battery thermal management system provided by an embodiment of this application. Among them, (a) is a top view, (b) is a bottom view, (c) is a front view, and (d) is a side view.

[0048] As in Figure 2 shown, preferably, the cross-section of the sub-pipe is a square with side length D*D. The length of the battery cell is 20D, the height is 20D, and the parallel spacing is 1.66D; among them, D is a preset reference length.

[0049] Among them, the coolant inlet of the first main pipeline and the coolant outlet of the second main pipeline are 2D higher than the battery cell.

[0050] Among them, the length of the battery cell is 20D, and the width including the two side sub-pipelines is 22D; the overall width of the battery pack including the battery pack 11 and the cooling rack 12 is 22D.

[0051] Preferably, the phase change sheet 13 has a length of 22D, a width of D, and a height of the parallel spacing, or the distance between the sub-pipeline closest to both ends of the battery cell and the corresponding end. In this way, a structure as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 can be formed, and the side surface of the phase change sheet 13 and the side surface of the sub-pipeline form a plane.

[0052] In some other possible implementations, the sub-pipeline can surround the battery pack 11. More specifically, the inner edge of the projection of the sub-pipeline on the horizontal plane is adapted to the outer edge of the projection of the battery pack 11 on the horizontal plane.

[0053] Preferably, the phase change material filled in the phase change sheet 13 includes n-heptane. The reason for choosing n-heptane is that it has an appropriate phase change temperature, high heat absorption capacity, chemical stability, and low cost. Specifically, the phase change temperature range of n-heptane (about -90°C to -54°C) enables it to effectively absorb heat during high-temperature operation of the battery, delay the temperature rise, and reduce the risk of thermal runaway; at the same time, its high latent heat value (about 140 kJ / kg) ensures efficient heat storage and release capabilities, can absorb a large amount of heat in a short time, and significantly improves the thermal management efficiency of the battery. In addition, n-heptane has good chemical stability, is not easy to react with battery materials, is non-toxic and non-corrosive, and has high use safety. Compared with other phase change materials, n-heptane has a lower cost and is easy to obtain, making it suitable for large-scale commercial applications. These advantages make n-heptane a very promising phase change material for battery cooling, which can effectively improve the thermal management performance and safety of the battery system.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the battery pack is cooled by combining the phase change material with liquid cooling. The phase change sheet can absorb a large amount of heat when the battery generates heat, delay the temperature rise, reduce the load of the liquid cooling system, and improve the energy consumption of the thermal management system; after the liquid cooling system is started, the coolant can quickly take away the heat stored in the phase change sheet, restart the phase change sheet, and ensure that the battery pack can still maintain a stable working temperature under high-temperature or high-load conditions. In addition, the sub-pipelines arranged in parallel and attached to the side of the battery pack can make the coolant evenly distributed on the side of the battery pack when circulating, improve the heat dissipation performance and control efficiency of the thermal management system, and at the same time, the simple structure is convenient for production and can reduce the manufacturing cost of the thermal management system.
