Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power battery heat dissipation technology, specifically a power battery heat dissipation device for buses and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] Bus power batteries are one of the core components of electric vehicles, converting electrical energy into the kinetic energy needed for the vehicle to drive the motor. The following is a detailed analysis of bus power batteries: There are many types of bus power batteries, mainly including lithium iron phosphate batteries, ternary polymer lithium batteries, and nickel-metal hydride batteries. Lithium iron phosphate batteries: Advantages: High energy density, good safety, long cycle life, and environmentally friendly. Their chemical properties are very stable, and they will not spontaneously combust or explode, making them suitable for the bus market. Disadvantages: Compared to other types of batteries, their energy density may be slightly lower, but it is still continuously improving. Ternary polymer lithium batteries: Advantages: Higher energy density and superior cycle performance, suitable for the passenger car market. Disadvantages: The cost may be relatively high, and there may be certain safety risks under high temperature or extreme conditions. Nickel-metal hydride batteries: Advantages: High reliability and long lifespan. Disadvantages: Low energy density, gradually being phased out. Bus power batteries typically consist of a battery box (large box, small box), a high-voltage box, thermal management accessories, and high-voltage and low-voltage wiring harnesses. Among them, the battery box is the main carrier of the power battery, used to protect and fix the cells; the high voltage box is responsible for the voltage control and protection of the battery pack; the thermal management accessories are used to ensure that the battery pack operates within a suitable temperature range; and the high voltage and low voltage wiring harnesses are responsible for the electrical connection between the battery pack and external equipment.

[0003] Existing bus power batteries do indeed face a series of thermal management challenges during fast charging. The following is a detailed description of these issues: The curb weight of the bus power battery is a crucial consideration. Since buses need to carry passengers and cargo, the curb weight of the power battery is limited, directly impacting the design and performance of the thermal control device. Within this limited weight, the thermal control device needs to balance lightweight design with efficient heat dissipation, making its design and manufacturing more complex. To ensure the safety of the power battery during fast charging, the thermal management system needs to strictly control the charging voltage and current. When the battery temperature rises, to avoid the risk of thermal runaway, the system typically reduces the charging power, thereby limiting… The limitations imposed on charging speed and efficiency not only affect the passenger travel experience but may also lead to longer charging times and reduced energy utilization. During fast charging, the power battery generates a large amount of heat. Due to the sealing and structural limitations of the battery pack, this heat can easily accumulate inside the battery pack, causing the battery temperature to rise. High temperatures not only affect the battery's performance and lifespan but may also trigger safety risks such as thermal runaway. During fast charging, although the vehicle is stationary, due to the sealing and safety requirements of the power battery, it is usually impossible to directly use external equipment for auxiliary heat dissipation. This makes the heat dissipation of the battery pack mainly rely on internal thermal control devices and heat dissipation structures, further increasing the difficulty and cost of heat dissipation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A power battery cooling device for passenger vehicles, comprising:

This assembly includes a limiting slide rail, a release cylinder, a cooling plate, a sealing cover, side plates, a side frame, a battery cell, a sliding sleeve, and a protective shell. The limiting slide rail is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the side frame.

The sliding sleeve is fixedly installed at the top edge of the outer wall of the lower reinforcing frame and slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the limiting slide rail. The side plates are spaced and embedded in the inner wall of the battery cell. The protective shell is wrapped around the outer wall of the battery cell. The sealing cover is embedded at the top of the inner wall of the protective shell and fits against the top of the outer wall of the battery cell. The cooling plate is fitted onto both sides of the outer wall of the protective shell. The space formed by the upper and lower protective shells matches the protective shell.

[0009] Furthermore, the guiding assembly includes a traction head, a guide rod, and a support spring.

[0010] Furthermore, the traction head is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the traction rod, the guide rod is rotatably inserted into both sides of the outer wall of the traction head, one end of the support spring is fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the traction head, and the other end of the support spring is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the traction head and the guide rail are matched with each other, the bottom axis of the outer wall of the traction head is raised, and the bottom of the outer wall of the guide rail is provided with a traction groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a moving motor, a lead screw, a driven gear ring, a driving gear, an angle motor, and a lifting hydraulic rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the mobile motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of one end of the drive frame, the lead screw is fixedly mounted at the center of the outer wall of the output end of the mobile motor, and the lead screw is threadedly connected to the opening on the outer wall of the traction rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the driven gear ring is sleeved on the bottom protruding end of the outer wall of the traction rod, the driving gear is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the output end of the angle motor, the driven gear ring and the driving gear are meshed and connected, and the angle motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer wall of the traction rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom end of the lifting hydraulic rod is rotatably inserted into the top of the outer wall of the moving platform, and the top end of the lifting hydraulic rod is rotatably inserted into the center of the bottom of the outer wall of the traction rod.

[0016] Furthermore, the liquid cooling plate is connected to an external cooling circulation device via a flexible hose, and the liquid cooling plate, the upper protective shell, and the lower protective shell are matched with each other.

[0017] A method of using a power battery cooling device for a passenger vehicle, applied to any one of the power battery cooling devices for a passenger vehicle described above, includes the following steps:

[0018] S1. First, the bus equipped with the power battery is moved to the charging station to complete the inspection of the upper reinforcing frame, lower reinforcing frame, upper protective shell and lower protective shell, and to confirm that there is no interference or deformation.

[0019] S2. The moving stage is aligned with the upper and lower protective shells. Then the release cylinder is activated, causing the lower reinforcing frame to slowly descend through the sliding sleeve under the action of the limiting slide rail. At this time, the lower reinforcing frame drives the lower protective shell to slowly descend, creating a gap between the sides of the upper and lower protective shells. The gap matches the liquid cooling plate.

[0020] S3. The mobile platform is fixed to the ground by the brakes of the universal wheels at the bottom. Then, the angle motor is started, which drives the driven gear ring to rotate through the drive gear. Then, the traction rod and the liquid cooling plate are rotated to ensure that the liquid cooling plate is aligned with the gap between the sides of the upper and lower protective shells. Then, the lifting hydraulic rod is started to ensure that the liquid cooling plate and the gap are on the same plane.

[0021] S4. Start the moving motor to drive the lead screw to rotate. Use the traction rod to drive the liquid cooling plate on the support wheel to move. At this time, the traction head is inserted into the inner wall of one end of the expanded guide rail. Use the support spring to drive the guide rod to expand outward, so that the traction head can move along the guide rail and improve the moving accuracy. Then the support wheel slides along the moving groove. When the liquid cooling plate moves to the inside of the lower protective shell, the limited support wheel is stacked along the moving groove.

[0022] S5. When fast charging begins, the heat generated by the battery cell is exchanged through the cooling plate and side plate to reduce the temperature. When fast charging continues to generate a large amount of heat, the liquid cooling plate is activated to dissipate heat from the battery cell through an external high-power liquid cooling device, thereby reducing the heat generated by fast charging.

[0023] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] The external heat dissipation components are flexibly moved via a moving platform to ensure that the liquid cooling plate is precisely aligned with the gaps in the battery pack for efficient heat dissipation. The internal heat dissipation protection components provide all-round protection for the battery cells, while the cooling plate is used for initial heat dissipation. The combination of the guiding and adjusting components improves the moving accuracy and stability of the heat dissipation components. The usage method is clear and easy to operate, and it can quickly respond to the heat dissipation needs during fast charging to ensure the safe operation of the battery pack.

9. A power battery cooling device for passenger vehicles as described in claim 8, characterized in that: The liquid cooling plate (8) is connected to an external cooling circulation device via a hose, and the liquid cooling plate (8), the upper protective shell (3), and the lower protective shell (4) are matched with each other.

10. A method of using a power battery cooling device for a passenger vehicle, characterized in that, The cooling device for a power battery in a passenger vehicle, as described in any one of claims 1-9, comprises the following steps: S1. First, the bus equipped with the power battery is moved to the charging station to complete the inspection of the upper reinforcing frame (1), lower reinforcing frame (2), upper protective shell (3) and lower protective shell (4) to confirm that there is no interference or deformation. S2. The moving stage (5) is aligned with the upper protective shell (3) and the lower protective shell (4). Then the release cylinder (17) is activated, so that the lower reinforcing frame (2) passes through the sliding sleeve (23) and slowly descends under the action of the limiting slide rail (16). At this time, the lower reinforcing frame (2) drives the lower protective shell (4) to slowly descend, so that a gap is generated on the side of the upper protective shell (3) and the lower protective shell (4), and the gap matches the liquid cooling plate (8). S3. The mobile platform (5) is fixed to the ground by the brake of the universal wheels at the bottom. Then the angle motor (15) is started, and the driven gear ring (13) is rotated through the drive gear (14). Then the traction rod (7) and the liquid cooling plate (8) are rotated to ensure that the liquid cooling plate (8) is aligned with the gap between the side of the upper protective shell (3) and the lower protective shell (4). Then the lifting hydraulic rod (501) is started to ensure that the liquid cooling plate (8) and the gap are on the same plane. S4. Start the moving motor (11) to drive the lead screw (12) to rotate. Use the traction rod (7) to drive the liquid cooling plate (8) on the support wheel (10) to move. At this time, the traction head (701) is inserted into the inner wall of one end of the expanded guide rail (9). Use the support spring (703) to drive the guide rod (702) to expand outward, so that the traction head (701) can move along the guide rail (9) and improve the moving accuracy. Then the support wheel (10) slides along the moving groove (704). When the liquid cooling plate (8) moves to the inside of the lower protective shell (4), the limited support wheel (10) stacks along the moving groove (704). S5. When fast charging starts, the heat generated by the battery cell (22) is exchanged through the cooling plate (18) and the side plate (20) to reduce the temperature. When the fast charging continues to generate a lot of heat, the liquid cooling plate (8) is activated to dissipate heat from the battery cell (22) through an external high-power liquid cooling device, thereby reducing the heat generated by the fast charging.
