Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a reinforcing plate for a thermal regulation device, in particular a cooling device, in particular for an electrical component that easily releases heat during operation, in particular for a device for cooling at least one battery or battery cell of a vehicle (such as a motor vehicle), but also for stationary installations such as computer servers or wind turbines. The vehicle can be a land vehicle, a marine vehicle or an air vehicle.

[0002] The present invention particularly relates to a plate heat exchanger for a refrigerant fluid circulation for cooling the battery of an electric or hybrid vehicle. Background Art

[0003] In order to improve the heat conduction between a heating element and a thermal regulation device during operation, a thermal paste is placed between them. When these heating elements are assembled with the thermal regulation device, this generates mechanical pressure on the thermal regulation device. It is known practice to use elastic pads to compensate for these forces. However, these elastic pads have the disadvantage of being particularly expensive because they are made especially of silicone resin. The choice of silicone resin is because its fire-resistant properties are acceptable for the intended application area. Other materials are known in the prior art, such as using EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene monomer) or PU (polyurethane) for these elastic pads.

[0004] It is also known practice to provide plates for thicker heat exchangers. However, the disadvantage of this solution is that it increases the mass of the vehicle, thereby increasing its energy consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art by particularly proposing a reinforcing plate configured to be attached to a thermal regulation device, in particular a cooling device, for an electrical component that easily releases heat during operation, in particular for an electrical energy storage module, the device comprising an upper plate and a lower plate, the lower plate being assembled with the upper plate to jointly form a plurality of flow channels for a heat transfer fluid, characterized in that the reinforcing plate is arranged on at least one part of the lower plate.

[0006] The present invention enables the mechanical squeezing force applied to the thermal regulation device to be withstood while avoiding the use of elastic pads. The present invention also enables the additional mass added to the vehicle to be minimized. The present invention also has the advantage of providing a solution compatible with various types of thermal regulation devices or adapting to the requirements of each of these thermal regulation devices.

[0007] The present invention also relates to a thermal module which comprises a thermal regulation device, in particular a cooling device, for electrical components which are liable to release heat during operation, in particular for an electrical energy storage module, the device comprising an upper plate and a lower plate, the lower plate being assembled with the upper plate to jointly form a plurality of flow channels for a heat transfer fluid, the module further comprising at least one reinforcing plate as described above.

[0008] According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcing plate is configured to be in contact with one face of the lower plate, this face being opposite to the face of the lower plate which is in contact with the upper plate.

[0009] According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcing plate comprises a first section which is configured to be in contact with a part of the lower plate, this part of the lower plate comprising at least a part of said plurality of flow channels.

[0010] According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcing plate may comprise a second section which is configured to be in contact with a part of the lower plate which does not include any flow channels.

[0011] According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcing plate comprises at least one rib.

[0012] According to one aspect of the invention, the rib comprises a main extension direction which is arranged in the plane of the reinforcing plate and in a direction intersecting the main orientation of said plurality of flow channels of the part of the lower plate on which the reinforcing plate is arranged, preferably arranged perpendicular to the main orientation of the flow channels of the part of the lower plate on which the reinforcing plate is arranged. Thus, it should be understood that the main orientation of the channels is the orientation of the channels which is configured to face the first section of the reinforcing plate, said first section comprising at least one rib. The main orientation of the plurality of channels must be understood as the orientation of the maximum dimension in which the channels extend.

[0013] According to an alternative aspect of the invention, the rib is arranged parallel to said plurality of flow channels of the part of the lower plate on which the reinforcing plate is arranged.

[0014] According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcing plate comprises an upper surface which is configured to be in contact with said at least one part of the lower plate, the rib being formed by a cavity which extends from the upper surface of the reinforcing plate and perpendicular to the lower plate of the thermal regulation device. Advantageously, the rib can be obtained by stamping the reinforcing plate, so that the reinforcing plate makes it possible to optimize the amount of material required to obtain the component while maintaining the robustness provided by the rib.

[0015] According to one aspect of the invention, the cavity may comprise a heat insulating part.

[0016] It should also be understood that the rib can be obtained by extruding or moulding the reinforcing plate. The rib can be integrally formed and without a cavity, in other words, in a cross-sectional view of the reinforcing plate, the rib is solid.

[0017] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcement plate includes a plurality of ribs as described above.

[0018] According to one aspect of the present invention, the plurality of ribs include ribs of different sizes.

[0019] According to one aspect of the present invention, at least one rib having a different size from other ribs may be arranged on the periphery of the reinforcement plate, or alternatively, the at least one rib having a different size may be arranged at the center of the reinforcement plate.

[0020] According to one aspect of the present invention, the plurality of ribs include a set of straight segments parallel to each other. It should be understood that these straight segments define the main elongation direction of the ribs.

[0021] According to one aspect of the present invention, the plurality of ribs include U-shaped segments connecting adjacent straight segments.

[0022] According to one aspect of the present invention and alternatively, the U-shaped segments may be replaced by straight segments or V-shaped segments.

[0023] According to one aspect of the present invention, the plurality of ribs include at least two sets of ribs, and each set of ribs is configured to be arranged facing different parts of the plurality of channels.

[0024] According to one aspect of the present invention, each set of ribs is configured to be arranged on a part of the plurality of channels having a main extension direction different from that of another part. Therefore, it should be understood that different sets of ribs have different main extension directions.

[0025] According to one aspect of the present invention, one set of ribs includes at least two ribs, each rib is arranged on at least one side of another set of ribs, and the ribs arranged on the side may have a different size from the ribs of the adjacent set, preferably a larger size. This enables the stiffness of the reinforcement plate to be optimally adjusted according to the thermal regulation device.

[0026] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcement plate includes a peripheral wall on at least a part of its periphery, and the peripheral wall mainly extends perpendicular to the main elongation plane of the upper plate and the lower plate. Therefore, advantageously, this wall further increases the strength of the reinforcement plate, especially with respect to mechanical torsional and bending stresses on the lower plate of the thermal regulation device.

[0027] According to one aspect of the present invention, the wall is integrally formed with the reinforcement plate, preferably obtained by stamping.

[0028] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcement plate covers 25% of the lower plate, preferably covers 50% of the lower plate, and even more preferably covers the entire surface of the lower plate.

[0029] The present invention also relates to a reinforcing device, which includes a plurality of reinforcing plates, such as the above-mentioned reinforcing plates, and is configured to be attached to the same lower plate of the thermal regulation device.

[0030] According to one aspect of the present invention, each plate includes at least one rib as described above.

[0031] According to one aspect of the present invention, each reinforcing plate includes at least one rib, and the at least one rib is oriented in a direction different from the direction of the ribs of another plate.

[0032] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcing plate preferably has a shape similar to that of the lower plate, but alternatively, the reinforcing plate may have a shape different from that of the lower plate. Therefore, it should be understood that when the lower plate has a substantially flat shape, the reinforcing plate is preferably flat.

[0033] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcing plate can be, for example, a quadrilateral or a T-shaped polygon.

[0034] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcing plate is made of metal, preferably made of aluminum. Different from the elastic pads of the prior art, metal has the advantage of being non-flammable. In addition, it is also superior in terms of wear resistance and recyclability.

[0035] According to one aspect of the present invention and alternatively, the reinforcing plate can be made of a composite material. This has the advantage of providing good mechanical strength while being lighter than metal. In an example of being used in a vehicle, this makes it possible to reduce the energy consumption for the propulsion of the vehicle.

[0036] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcing plate is configured to be brazed to the lower plate and the upper plate of the thermal regulation device. For example, this has the advantage of providing greater and stronger structural reinforcement than bonding using an adhesive.

[0037] According to one aspect of the present invention and alternatively, the reinforcing plate can be laser welded to the lower plate of the thermal regulation device.

[0038] According to one aspect of the present invention and again alternatively, the reinforcing plate can be riveted to the lower plate of the thermal regulation device.

[0039] According to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcing plate can also be adhered to the lower plate of the thermal regulation device.

[0040] According to one aspect of the present invention, the thickness of the reinforcing plate is between 0.5 mm and 1.3 mm.

[0041] According to one aspect of the present invention, the thermal regulation device can include a space for receiving a component to be cooled, particularly a battery cell, and the module further includes a plurality of reinforcing plates, and each reinforcing plate is arranged facing a space.

[0042] According to one aspect of the invention, the lower plate and the upper plate each have a thickness of at most 3 mm, more typically between 0.8 mm and 1.3 mm.

[0043] According to one aspect of the invention, the heat transfer fluid can in particular be a refrigerant fluid, especially a fluid selected from the refrigerant fluids R134a, R1234yf and R744, or an ethylene glycol / water mixture.

[0044] According to one aspect of the invention, the plurality of channels can mainly comprise straight or curved channels.

[0045] According to one aspect of the invention, the plurality of channels can include straight sections connected to curved sections.

[0046] According to one aspect of the invention, the plurality of channels in the lower plate of the thermal regulation device are preferably formed by stamping.

[0047] According to one aspect of the invention, the channels extend from one side of the lower plate in contact with one side of the upper plate in a direction opposite to that side.

[0048] According to one aspect of the invention, the channels are formed by cavities formed in the lower plate and closed by stacking with the upper plate.

[0049] According to one aspect of the invention, since the thickness of the lower plate is less than the width of the channels, the cavities forming the channels form protrusions extending outward from the side opposite to the side in contact with the upper plate.

[0050] According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcement plate only contacts the protrusions of the lower plate.

[0051] According to one aspect of the invention, the channels extend between a common inlet and a common outlet of the heat transfer fluid.

[0052] According to one aspect of the invention, flanges can be connected to the inlet and the outlet to provide a connection.

[0053] According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcement plate includes attachment means configured to attach the thermal regulation device to a frame.

[0054] According to one aspect of the invention, the attachment means can include holes that pass exactly through the reinforcement plate and are configured to receive attachment elements such as screws, rivets and other similar elements known to those skilled in the art.

[0055] According to one aspect of the invention, the holes in the reinforcement plate can be arranged in a straight line group across the reinforcement plate.

[0058] According to one aspect of the invention, the at least one attachment lug is arranged in a plane parallel to the main elongation plane of the upper and lower plates.

[0059] According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcement plate is partly arranged on at least one of the attachment lugs.

[0060] The invention also relates to a system comprising electrical components which are liable to release heat during operation, in particular for an electrical energy storage module, a thermal module as described above, which is designed to regulate the temperature of said components, which components, in particular battery cells, are in thermal contact with the upper plate of the thermal regulation device.

[0061] Other features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent on reading the following description and with reference to the drawings, which are given by way of illustrative and non - limiting examples, in which:

[0062] Figure 1 A thermal module including a reinforcement plate according to an embodiment of the invention is schematically depicted;

[0063] Figure 2 A thermal module including a reinforcement plate according to another embodiment of the invention is schematically depicted. Detailed Description

[0064] Figure 1 The reinforcement plate 1 is shown, which is configured to be attached to a thermal regulation device 100, in particular a cooling device, for electrical components (not shown in the figures) which are liable to release heat during operation, in particular for an electrical energy storage module, said device 100 including an upper plate 2 and a lower plate 3, the lower plate 3 being assembled with the upper plate 2 to jointly form a plurality of flow channels 4 for a heat - transfer fluid, characterized in that the reinforcement plate 1 is arranged on at least one part of the lower plate 3.

[0065] The invention also relates to a thermal module 300, which includes a thermal regulation device 100, in particular a cooling device, for electrical components which are liable to release heat during operation, in particular for an electrical energy storage module, said device 100 including an upper plate 2 and a lower plate 3, the lower plate 3 and the upper plate 2 being assembled to jointly form a plurality of flow channels 4 for a heat - transfer fluid, said module 300 further including at least one reinforcement plate 1 as described above.

[0066] The reinforcement plate 1 is configured to be in contact with the face 5 of the lower plate 3, which face 5 is opposite to the face 6 of the lower plate 3, the face 6 of the lower plate 3 being in contact with the upper plate 2.

[0067] The reinforcement plate 1 includes a first section 7 which is configured to contact a part of the lower plate 3, and this part of the lower plate 3 includes at least a part of the plurality of flow channels 4.

[0068] The reinforcement plate 1 may include a second section 8 which is configured to contact a part of the lower plate 3 that does not include any flow channels 4.

[0069] The reinforcement plate 1 includes at least one rib 9.

[0070] The rib 9 includes a main extension direction which is arranged in the plane of the reinforcement plate 1 and in a direction intersecting the main orientation of the plurality of flow channels 4 in the part of the lower plate 3 where the reinforcement plate (1) is arranged, preferably perpendicular to the main orientation of the flow channels 4 in the part of the lower plate 3 where the reinforcement plate 1 is arranged. Therefore, it should be understood that the main orientation of the channels 4 is the orientation of the channels 4 configured to face the first section 7 of the reinforcement plate 1, and the first section 7 includes at least one rib 9. The main orientation of the plurality of channels must be understood as the orientation of the maximum dimension along which the channels 4 extend. Therefore, in Figure 1 and Figure 2 example, the ribs 9 of the reinforcement plate 1 extend perpendicular to the channels 4 placed below these ribs 9. In Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the channels 4 mainly extend along the length of the lower plate 3, so the ribs 9 mainly extend in a direction arranged across the width of the lower plate 3.

[0071] Alternatively, the rib 9 is arranged parallel to the plurality of flow channels 4 in the part of the lower plate 3 where the reinforcement plate 1 is arranged.

[0072] The reinforcement plate 1 includes an upper surface 10 configured to contact the at least one part of the lower plate 3, and the rib 9 is formed by a cavity that extends from the upper surface 10 of the reinforcement plate 1 and is perpendicular to the lower plate 3 of the thermal regulation device 100. Advantageously, the rib 9 can be obtained by stamping the reinforcement plate 1, so the reinforcement plate 1 enables the optimization of the amount of material required to obtain the component while maintaining the robustness provided by the rib 9.

[0073] The cavity may include a heat insulation part.

[0074] It should also be understood that the rib 9 can be obtained by extruding or molding the reinforcement plate 1. The rib 9 can be integrally formed and have no cavity, in other words, in the cross-sectional view of the reinforcement plate 1, the rib 9 is solid.

[0075] The reinforcement plate 1 includes a plurality of ribs 9 as described above.

[0076] The plurality of ribs 9 includes ribs 9 having different sizes. For example, at least one rib 9 having a different size from the other ribs 9 may be arranged on the periphery of the reinforcement plate 1, or alternatively, the at least one rib 9 having different sizes may be arranged at the center of the reinforcement plate 1.

[0077] The plurality of ribs 9 includes a set of straight segments 90 parallel to each other. It should be understood that these straight segments 90 define the main elongation direction of the ribs 9.

[0078] The plurality of ribs 9 includes U-shaped segments 91 connecting adjacent straight segments 90.

[0079] Alternatively, the U-shaped segments 91 may be replaced by straight segments or V-shaped segments.

[0080] The plurality of ribs 9 includes at least two sets of ribs 9, each set of ribs 9 being configured to be arranged facing different parts of the plurality of channels 4; this is not shown in the drawings.

[0081] Each set of ribs 9 is configured to be arranged on a part of the plurality of channels 4 having a main extension direction different from that of another part.

[0082] One of the sets of ribs includes at least two ribs 9, each rib being arranged on at least one side of the other set of ribs, and the ribs 9 arranged on the sides may have different sizes from the ribs 9 of the adjacent set, preferably larger sizes.

[0083] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the reinforcement plate 1 includes a peripheral wall 10 on at least a part of its periphery, and the peripheral wall 10 mainly extends perpendicular to the main elongation plane of the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 3. Thus, and advantageously, this wall 10 further increases the strength of the reinforcement plate 1, especially with respect to mechanical torsional and bending stresses on the lower plate 3 of the thermal regulation device 100.

[0084] The wall 10 is integrally formed with the reinforcement plate 1, preferably obtained by stamping.

[0085] According to Figure 1 In the first embodiment of the present invention shown, a single reinforcement plate is arranged on the thermal regulation device. The reinforcement plate 1 covers 25% of the lower plate 3, preferably covers 50% of the lower plate 3, and even more preferably covers the entire surface of the lower plate 3.

[0086] As Figure 2 shown, according to the second embodiment of the present invention, the present invention also relates to a strengthening device 200, which includes a plurality of reinforcement plates 1, such as the reinforcement plates 1 described above, and is configured to be attached to the same lower plate 3 of the thermal regulation device 100.

[0087] Each plate 1 includes at least one rib 9 as described above.

[0088] Each reinforcing plate 1 includes at least one rib 9 oriented in a direction different from that of the rib 9 of the other plate 1.

[0089] The reinforcing plate 1 preferably has the same shape as the lower plate 3, but alternatively, it may have a shape different from that of the lower plate 3. Thus, it should be understood that when the lower plate 3 has a substantially flat shape, the reinforcing plate 1 is preferably flat.

[0090] The reinforcing plate 1 can be, for example, a quadrilateral or a T-shaped polygon.

[0091] The reinforcing plate 1 is made of metal, preferably made of aluminum. Different from the elastic pads of the prior art, metal has the advantage of being non-flammable. In addition, it is also superior in terms of wear resistance and recyclability.

[0092] Alternatively, the reinforcing plate 1 can also be composed of a composite material. This has the advantage of providing good mechanical strength while being lighter than metal. In the example of being used in a vehicle, this makes it possible to reduce the energy consumption for vehicle propulsion.

[0093] The reinforcing plate 1 is brazed to the lower plate 3 and the upper plate 2 of the thermal regulation device 100.

[0094] Alternatively, the reinforcing plate 1 can be laser welded to the lower plate 3 of the thermal regulation device 100.

[0095] Again alternatively, the reinforcing plate 1 can be riveted to the lower plate 3 of the thermal regulation device 100.

[0096] The reinforcing plate 1 can also be adhered to the lower plate 3 of the thermal regulation device 100.

[0097] The thickness of the reinforcing plate 1 is in the range of 0.5 mm to 1.3 mm.

[0098] The thermal regulation device 100 can include a space for receiving the components to be cooled, particularly battery cells. The module 300 can also include a plurality of reinforcing plates 1, and each reinforcing plate 1 is arranged facing a space.

[0099] Each of the lower plate 3 and the upper plate 2 has a thickness of at most 3 mm, and more typically a thickness between 0.8 mm and 1.3 mm.

[0100] The heat transfer fluid can particularly be a refrigerant fluid, especially a fluid selected from refrigerant fluids R134a, R1234yf, and R744, or an ethylene glycol / water mixture.

[0101] The plurality of channels 4 can mainly include straight or curved channels.

[0102] The plurality of channels 4 may include straight sections connected to the curved section.

[0103] The plurality of channels 4 in the lower plate 3 of the thermal regulation device 100 are preferably formed by stamping.

[0104] The channels 4 extend from one side of the lower plate 3 in contact with one side of the upper plate 2 in a direction opposite to that side.

[0105] The channels 4 are formed by cavities formed in the lower plate 3 and are closed by stacking with the upper plate 2.

[0106] Since the thickness of the lower plate 3 is less than the width of the channels 4, the cavities forming the channels 4 form protrusions extending outward from the side opposite to the side in contact with the upper plate 2.

[0107] The reinforcing plate 1 only contacts the protrusions of the lower plate 3.

[0108] The channels 4 extend between a common inlet and a common outlet for the heat transfer fluid.

[0109] Flanges may be connected to the inlet and outlet to provide the connection.

[0110] The reinforcing plate 1 includes an attachment device 11 configured to attach the thermal regulation device 100 to a frame.

[0111] The attachment device 11 may include a hole 110 that passes right through the reinforcing plate 1 and is configured to receive attachment elements such as screws, rivets, and other similar elements known to those skilled in the art.

[0112] The holes 110 in the reinforcing plate 1 may be arranged in a straight line group across the reinforcing plate 1.

[0113] The holes 110 may alternatively or additionally be arranged on the perimeter of the reinforcing plate 1.

[0114] The upper plate 2 and / or the lower plate 3 may include at least one attachment lug 12 extending from the edge of the upper plate 2 and / or the lower plate 3, and the attachment lug 12 preferably includes at least one hole 110 of the attachment device 11.

[0115] At least one attachment lug 12 is arranged in a plane parallel to the main elongation plane of the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 3.
