Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of battery heat dissipation structure, more particularly, relates to a heat dissipation structure of a nickel-hydrogen battery pack for a hybrid electric vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The hybrid electric vehicle refers to a vehicle whose driving system is composed of two or more single driving systems which can operate simultaneously, and the driving power of the vehicle is provided by the single driving system alone or jointly according to the actual driving state of the vehicle.

[0003] For example, the application number CN201410300226.3 discloses a pure electric bus nickel-hydrogen battery pack heat dissipation structure, and belongs to the technical field of electric vehicle power supply. It comprises a battery pack box, a battery pack, a connecting hose and a cooling fan. The battery pack is composed of single batteries, a partition plate, a connecting end plate and a stay. The upper part of the battery box is an open structure. When forced cooling is needed, air passes through the gap between the partition plates, the space at the bottom of the battery box, the rectangular tube inner cavity channel of the bottom plate frame, the exhaust port connector, the connecting hose and the cooling fan, forming an air flow channel, and the heat in the battery pack is discharged out of the vehicle body through the air circulation. In addition, the battery pack is in an open environment, and the heat of the battery is exchanged with air through heat radiation and convection. The working temperature of the battery is ensured to be within the technical requirements. The structure is simple and easy to assemble. The cooling fan can be placed arbitrarily according to the installation environment of the battery box due to the connection through the connecting hose, and the exhaust outlet can be designed freely.

[0004] At present, when the nickel-hydrogen battery pack is cooled, a heat dissipation structure is usually arranged on the battery pack in the shell.

Moreover, the existing water cooling heat dissipation structure cannot effectively warn people when the amount of cooling liquid inside is insufficient, so that the cooling liquid cannot be supplemented in time when the amount of cooling liquid inside the water cooling heat dissipation structure is insufficient, thereby greatly reducing the reliability of the heat dissipation structure.

[0038] When the internal cooling liquid of the transfer box 4 is too little, the floating plate 12 slides downward under the gravity of the counterweight 1202 due to the lowering of the cooling liquid level, and then drives the rear first gear 1302 to rotate counterclockwise through the driving rack 1203, and then drives the second gear 1303 to rotate clockwise through the front first gear 1302, so that the sliding plate 501 moves downward through the pressing rack 503, and then the button on the pressing switch 505 is pressed downward through the bottom end face of the pressing plate 504, so that the controller 10 starts the buzzer 8, so that the buzzer 8 starts to emit warning sound, so that people find the buzzer 8 following the warning sound, and then people quickly realize that the internal cooling liquid of the transfer box 4 is too little under the warning of the buzzer 8 and the warning sign 9 near the buzzer 8, so that the internal cooling liquid of the transfer box 4 is supplemented in time, thereby greatly improving the reliability of the heat dissipation structure.
