Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicle accessories, and particularly to a battery pack and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Globally, efforts are being made to achieve green development of the economic society by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the automotive industry, this not only means restrictions on traditional fuel vehicles, but also promotes the rapid popularization of new energy vehicles, especially electric vehicles. As one of the core components of an electric vehicle, the safety design optimization of the battery pack is crucial for improving vehicle performance and ensuring driving safety.

[0003] The battery pack includes a battery assembly, a liquid cooling plate, a bottom guard plate, and a sealing strip. The battery assembly, the liquid cooling plate, the sealing strip, and the bottom guard plate are arranged in sequence.

[0004] However, in related technologies, in order to save the material cost of the sealing strip, the width of the sealing strip is designed to be a relatively narrow structure. Although such a design also meets the requirements of sealing and waterproofing, there will be a gap between the edge of the bottom guard plate and the liquid cooling plate outside the sealing strip. Due to the surface tension of water molecules, the gap will become a water storage space due to capillary action. The existence of this accumulated water will cause a slight corrosion effect on the bottom guard plate and the liquid cooling plate.

These drawings and textual descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present disclosure in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. Detailed implementation manners

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0058] The terms used in the embodiments section of the present disclosure are only for explaining the embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meanings understood by those of ordinary skill in the field to which the present disclosure pertains.

Similarly, words such as "a" or "an" do not denote a quantity limitation, but mean that there is at least one.

"Upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. are only used to indicate relative position relationships, and when the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative position relationships may also change accordingly.

[0059] Globally, it aims to achieve the green development of the economic society by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the automotive industry, this not only means restrictions on traditional fuel vehicles, but also promotes the rapid popularization of new energy vehicles, especially electric vehicles. As one of the core components of electric vehicles, the safety design optimization of the battery pack is crucial for improving vehicle performance and ensuring driving safety. The battery pack includes battery components, liquid cooling plates, bottom protection plates and sealing strips. The battery components, liquid cooling plates, sealing strips and bottom protection plates are arranged in sequence. The sealing strip is annular and is located between the edges of the liquid cooling plate and the bottom protection plate, thus playing a sealing role.

[0060] However, in the related art, in order to save the material cost of the sealing strip, the width of the sealing strip is designed to be a narrow structure. Although such a design also meets the requirements of sealing and waterproofing, there will be a gap between the edges of the bottom protection plate and the liquid cooling plate outside the sealing strip. Due to the surface tension of water molecules, the gap will become a water storage space due to capillary action. The existence of this accumulated water will cause a slight corrosion effect on the bottom protection plate and the liquid cooling plate, and over time, it will lead to the rusting of the bottom protection plate and the liquid cooling plate, thus reducing the safety of the battery pack.

[0061] In the related art, in order to avoid this situation, some solutions choose to increase the width of the sealing strip to completely fill the gap, but this will not only increase the material cost and process cost of the sealing strip, but also cause sealing failure in the area where the foam is perforated. Some solutions choose to abandon the use of the sealing strip and use sealant to achieve sealing, but this basically cuts off the possibility of later disassembly and inspection of the battery pack.

[0062] In view of the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a battery pack. As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the battery pack includes a battery assembly (not shown in the figure), a liquid cooling plate, a bottom guard plate 2, and a sealing strip 3. The battery assembly, the liquid cooling plate, the sealing strip 3, and the bottom guard plate 2 are arranged in sequence. The bottom guard plate 2 includes a protection part 21 and a connection part 22. The connection part 22 is annular and surrounds the protection part 21. The sealing strip 3 is annular and fixed to the connection part 22. The liquid cooling plate is fixed to the connection part 22, and the sealing strip 3 is located between the liquid cooling plate and the connection part 22. As Figure 4 shown ( Figure 4 is Figure 3 a partial enlarged view of

[0063] ), the connection part 22 of the bottom guard plate 2 has a plurality of diversion grooves 220. The plurality of diversion grooves 220 surround the sealing strip 3. The diversion groove 220 has a diversion opening 120a, and the diversion opening 120a penetrates the outer wall of the connection part 22.

[0064] Among them, the liquid cooling plate 1 is used to cool down the battery assembly.

[0065] On the outer side of the sealing strip 3, a gap is formed between the edge of the liquid cooling plate and the edge of the bottom guard plate 2, and the diversion groove 220 is located at the gap.

[0066] The sealing strip 3 has elasticity. The material of the sealing strip 3 can be foam, and the manufacturing process is die-cutting.

[0067] In the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, when there is accumulated water between the liquid cooling plate and the bottom guard plate 2, the diversion grooves 220 on the connection part 22 of the bottom guard plate 2 can break the capillary action of the accumulated water, so that the accumulated water can be discharged from the connection part 22 along the diversion grooves 220, thereby enabling the accumulated water between the bottom guard plate 2 and the liquid cooling plate to be quickly discharged. In this way, the liquid cooling plate and the bottom guard plate are not easily corroded by the accumulated water, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack.

[0068] Next, an exemplary description of the implementation manner of the bottom guard plate 2 will be given.

[0069] In some examples, as Figure 4As shown, the connecting portion 22 also has a plurality of mounting holes 22a, and the liquid cooling plate and the connecting portion 22 are connected through the mounting holes 22a. Among them, the liquid cooling plate and the connecting portion 22 can be connected by bolts. It can be understood that the accumulated water between the edge of the liquid cooling plate and the edge of the bottom guard plate 2 will be located between two adjacent bolts. If there is no flow guiding groove 220 between two adjacent bolts, it is difficult to drain the accumulated water here, and it is also difficult for the accumulated water to bypass the bolts and flow to the drain grooves 120 located at other positions.

[0070] Therefore, at least one flow guiding groove 220 is provided between every two adjacent mounting holes 22a. That is, at least one flow guiding groove 220 is provided between every two adjacent bolts. In this way, the accumulated water between two adjacent bolts can be quickly drained through the flow guiding groove 220.

[0071] Exemplarily, the number of flow guiding grooves 220 between every two adjacent mounting holes 22a can be 1-3. Specifically, the number of flow guiding grooves 220 can be set according to the distance between every two adjacent mounting holes 22a. If the distance between every two adjacent mounting holes 22a is small, the number of flow guiding grooves 220 is set to be small. If the distance between every two adjacent mounting holes 22a is large, the number of flow guiding grooves 220 is set to be large. The embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations on this.

[0072] In some examples, the distance between the two opposite side walls of the flow guiding groove 220 is 9 mm - 12 mm. That is, the width of the flow guiding groove 220 is 9 mm - 12 mm. In this way, it can not only quickly drain the accumulated water between the edge of the liquid cooling plate and the edge of the bottom guard plate 2, but also prevent foreign objects from entering between the edge of the liquid cooling plate and the edge of the bottom guard plate 2 through the flow guiding groove 220.

[0073] If the width of the flow guiding groove 220 is too small, the speed of draining the accumulated water will be slow. If the width of the flow guiding groove 220 is too large, foreign objects are likely to enter the flow guiding groove 220, thereby causing damage to the liquid cooling plate, the bottom guard plate 2 and the sealing strip 3.

[0074] In some examples, as Figure 4 shown, the bottom guard plate 2 further includes a flow guiding portion 23. The flow guiding portion 23 is annular, the inner wall of the flow guiding portion 23 is connected to the outer wall of the connecting portion 22, and the sealing strip 3, the connecting portion 22 and the flow guiding portion 23 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The flow guiding portion 23 is lower than the connecting portion 22, and the flow guiding portion 23 and the connecting portion 22 directly form a stepped structure, which can enable the accumulated water to flow onto the flow guiding portion 23 through the flow guiding groove 220. The flow guiding portion 23 can play a role in guiding the accumulated water, making the accumulated water more evenly distributed on the flow guiding portion 23, and then flowing out from the flow guiding portion 23.

[0075] In some examples, the height difference between the diversion part 23 and the connection part 22 is 1.2 mm - 2 mm. If the height difference between the diversion part 23 and the connection part 22 is too large, it will cause the overall height of the battery pack to be relatively large. When the battery pack is installed at the bottom of the vehicle, the distance between the diversion part 23 and the ground will be relatively close, resulting in the diversion part 23 being easily collided by foreign objects during driving. Moreover, it will also make it easier for foreign objects to enter between the diversion part 23 and the liquid cooling plate 1, thus causing the diversion part 23 and the liquid cooling plate 1 to be easily damaged.

[0076] In some examples, the width of the diversion part 23, that is, the distance between the inner side and the outer side of the diversion part 23 is 2 mm - 4 mm. If the width of the diversion part 23 is too large, it will cause the width of the bottom guard plate 2 to be too large, which is not conducive to the layout of the battery pack in the vehicle. Moreover, if the width of the diversion part 23 is too large, on the one hand, it will make the time for accumulated water to flow out of the bottom guard plate 2 longer, which is not conducive to the rapid discharge of accumulated water. On the other hand, it may cause there to be more foreign objects between the diversion part 23 and the liquid cooling plate 1, thus causing the diversion part 23 and the liquid cooling plate 1 to be easily damaged.

[0077] In some examples, the diversion part 23 can be parallel to the connection part 22. Or, the diversion part 23 is arranged obliquely. Along the direction away from the connection part 22, the height of the diversion part 23 gradually decreases, so as to accelerate the drainage speed of the accumulated water.

[0078] In order to reduce the accumulated water between the edge of the bottom guard plate 2 and the edge of the liquid cooling plate, in addition to improving the structure of the bottom guard plate 2, the embodiments of the present disclosure also improve the structure of the sealing strip 3. Next, an exemplary description of the implementation manner of the sealing strip 3 will be given.

[0079] In order to enable the accumulated water between the edge of the bottom guard plate 2 and the edge of the liquid cooling plate to quickly flow to the diversion groove 220. The outer wall of the sealing strip 3 can be close to the diversion groove 220, for example, the outer wall of the sealing strip 3 is flush with the inner wall of the diversion groove 220. Thus, the accumulated water between the edge of the bottom guard plate 2 and the edge of the liquid cooling plate flows along the outer wall of the sealing strip 3 to the diversion groove 220.

[0080] However, this will make the width of the sealing strip 3 relatively wide, thus increasing the material cost and process cost of the sealing strip 3. Moreover, in order not to affect the bolt passing through the mounting hole on the connection part 22, holes also need to be drilled on the sealing strip 3, which will cause micro-cracks on the sealing strip 3, thus affecting the sealing effect of the sealing strip 3 and allowing water to enter between the protection part 21 and the liquid cooling plate.

[0081] For this reason, in some examples, as Figures 5 - 7 shown ( Figure 5 is Figure 3(partial enlarged view), the outer side of the sealing strip 3 has a plurality of flow guiding protrusions 31. Each flow guiding protrusion 31 has two flow guiding surfaces 311, and a formed between the two flow guiding surfaces 311. The flow guiding sharp corner 311a of each flow guiding protrusion 31 faces a flow guiding groove 220. The flow guiding surface 311 can guide the accumulated water, so that the accumulated water can flow to the flow guiding sharp corner 311a and then flow to the flow guiding groove 220. Thus, it flows out of the connecting part 22.

[0082] In this way, not only can the sealing strip 3 play a good role in guiding the flow, but also the material cost of the sealing strip 3 will not be increased too much. Moreover, since the width of the part of the sealing strip 3 other than the flow guiding protrusion 31 is relatively narrow, the sealing strip 3 does not need to be drilled to avoid bolts, thereby improving the structural strength of the sealing strip 3, and further improving the sealing strength between the connecting part 22 of the bottom guard plate 2 and the liquid cooling plate, making the battery pack have high reliability and safety.

[0083] In some examples, the thickness of the sealing strip 3 before compression is 4 mm - 6 mm, and the width is 8 mm - 10 mm. Among them, the width of the sealing strip 3 refers to the distance between the inner wall and the outer wall of the sealing strip 3 except for the flow guiding protrusion 31.

[0084] Exemplarily, the thickness of the sealing strip 3 before compression is 5 ± 0.05 mm, and the thickness after compression is 3 ± 0.03 mm. The width before compression is 8 ± 0.1 mm, and the width after compression is 10 ± 0.1 mm.

[0085] In some examples, as Figure 7 shown, the top of the flow guiding sharp corner 311a is aligned with one end of the flow guiding groove 220 close to the sealing strip 3. In this way, the accumulated water can flow directly to the flow guiding groove 220 along the flow guiding surface 311, so that the accumulated water can be quickly discharged.

[0086] In some other examples, the top of the flow guiding sharp corner 311a can also cross the inner wall of the flow guiding groove 220, so that the top of the flow guiding sharp corner 211 is located above the flow guiding groove 220, so that it can flow directly to the flow guiding groove 220 along the flow guiding surface 311, so that the accumulated water can be quickly discharged.

[0087] In some examples, as Figure 7 shown, the flow guiding protrusion 31 is an isosceles triangle, that is, the flow guiding surface 311 is a plane, and the flow guiding sharp corner 311a is the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle. In this way, the two flow guiding surfaces 311 of the flow guiding protrusion 31 can play a uniform role in guiding the accumulated water, so that the accumulated water on both sides of the flow guiding protrusion 31 can flow to the flow guiding gold corner 211a at the same time, and then flow to the flow guiding groove 220. Thus, it is avoided that there is less accumulated water on one side of the flow guiding protrusion 31 and more accumulated water on the other side.

[0088] Specifically, the angle bisector of the apex angle of the isosceles triangle coincides with the axis of symmetry of the diversion groove 220. That is, the vertex of the diversion sharp corner 311a coincides with the axis of symmetry of the diversion groove 220. Thus, the accumulated water on both sides of the diversion sharp corner 311a can symmetrically flow into the diversion groove 220.

[0089] It can be understood that the larger the angle of the diversion sharp corner 311a, the smaller the change in the flow direction of the accumulated water when flowing from near the diversion protrusion 31 to the diversion surface 311, which is more conducive to the diversion protrusion 31 guiding the water. However, if the diversion sharp corner 311a is too large, it will make it difficult to process the sealing strip 3. Therefore, in some examples, the angle of the diversion sharp corner 311a is set to 80° - 100°. In this way, the diversion protrusion 31 can not only play a good role in guiding the accumulated water, but also will not increase the processing difficulty of the sealing strip.

[0090] Exemplarily, the length of the diversion protrusion 31 is 4 mm - 6 mm. That is, the distance between the apex angle and the base of the isosceles triangle is 4 mm - 6 mm.

[0091] In some other examples, the diversion protrusion 31 can also be in other shapes. For example, the diversion surface 311 is designed as a convex surface or a concave surface (as Figure 8 shown), and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations thereto.

[0092] As Figure 9 shown ( Figure 9 the arrows in it are the flow directions of the accumulated water), when the bottom guard plate 2 includes a diversion portion 23, the accumulated water on the connecting portion 22 flows along the side wall of the sealing strip 3 to the diversion surface 311, then flows into the diversion groove 220, then flows from the diversion groove 220 to the diversion portion 23 of the bottom guard plate 2, and finally flows out of the bottom guard plate 2.

[0093] It should be noted that the number of the diversion protrusions 31 and the number of the diversion grooves 220 may be equal or not equal, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make specific limitations thereto.

[0094] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a vehicle, and the vehicle includes the above battery pack.

[0095] Among them, the vehicle is an electric vehicle, and the battery pack is fixed below the vehicle chassis.

[0096] For the vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, since it is not easy for accumulated water to remain between the bottom guard plate 2 of the battery pack in the vehicle and the liquid cooling plate 1, it can prevent the liquid cooling plate and the bottom guard plate from being corroded by the accumulated water. Thus, the safety of the battery pack is improved, and further the safety and reliability of the vehicle are improved.

[0097] The above are only alternative embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the principles of the present disclosure shall be included within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
