[0003] Although the immersion type liquid cooling has the advantage of high efficient heat exchange, it still faces the fundamental contradiction between the mechanical support demand of the battery cell and the maximum heat dissipation contact area. In order to ensure the structural strength of the module and the stability under driving vibration, the battery cell needs to be constrained by the fixed position support structure (such as support, partition plate), which will inevitably occupy the surface of the battery cell. The rigid design leads to: the physical barrier is formed at the close contact position of the support surface, which completely blocks the contact of the cooling liquid with the lower battery cell; because the blocked position is fixed, if it happens to be a high heat point area with uneven internal heat production of the battery cell, the heat dissipation path is blocked, and heat accumulation forms a significant high temperature "local hot spot"; in summary, although the immersion type liquid cooling has higher heat exchange efficiency, due to the local shielding, it still has the shortcomings of accelerated local aging of the battery, high risk of thermal runaway (fire, explosion).

[0034] Referring to Figures 6 to 9 The spacer 5 is made of high-elastic stainless steel, the spacer 5 is provided with a plurality of middle flow channels 501 and a plurality of groups of side flow channels 502, each group of side flow channels 502 is symmetrical in front and back, all the middle flow channels 501 and all the groups of side flow channels 502 on the same spacer 5 are equidistant and staggered in the left-right direction, and the specific number of the middle flow channels 501 and the side flow channels 502 is determined according to the length of the power battery 4 in the left-right direction; the middle flow channels 501 and the side flow channels 502 are used for the flow of the cooling liquid in the vertical direction, the positions close to all the side flow channels 502 on the spacer 5 are provided with swing parts 503 which are symmetrical in left and right and are equidistantly distributed in up and down, and abutting parts 504 which are equidistantly distributed in up and down, the number of the swing parts 503 is twice the number of the abutting parts 504, the abutting parts 504 are located in the middle part of the adjacent two swing parts 503, and the wall thickness of the abutting parts 504 is smaller than that of the remaining positions of the spacer 5, so as to facilitate the bending of the abutting parts 504; initially, the shell 1, the partition plates 3 and the power batteries 4 are respectively in contact with the adjacent abutting parts 504, the spacer 5 provides support for the power batteries 4 through the abutting parts 504, so that the relative position of the power batteries 4 and the shell 1 remains stable; the abutting parts 504 are fixedly connected with detection pieces 6, the detection pieces 6 are made of elastic metal material, the thermal expansion coefficient of the spacer 5 is smaller than that of the detection pieces 6, so that the detection pieces 6 and the abutting parts 504 are deformed differently under heat, and the abutting parts 504 and the detection pieces 6 are bent together.

[0035] The above arrangement can achieve that the bimetallic strip structure composed of the abutting portion 504 and the detection piece 6 can self-perceive the temperature of the power battery 4, and change the contact state of the abutting portion 504 with the power battery 4 according to the temperature control requirement, thereby reducing the probability of local hot spots and the probability of local accelerated aging of the power battery 4, and reducing the risk of thermal runaway.

[0036] Referring to Figures 7 to 9 , the position close to the root of the oscillating portion 503 (the root of the oscillating portion 503 refers to the position of the oscillating axis) of the spacer 5 is provided with a flexible groove 505, so that the thickness of the connection between the root of the oscillating portion 503 and the spacer 5 is reduced, and the adjacent oscillating portion 503 is facilitated to be swung by the abutting portion 504.

[0037] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the position close to all the side flow channels 502 of the spacer 5 is provided with a plurality of equidistantly distributed separation grooves 506, the separation grooves 506 separate the adjacent two oscillating portions 503 and the adjacent two abutting portions 504, so that the abutting portion 504 at the local position can be deformed by heat alone, and the accuracy of local cooling of the power battery 4 is improved.

[0038] The above arrangement can achieve that the abutting portion 504 is divided into multiple segments in the vertical direction by the separation groove 506, so that the abutting portion 504 at the local position can be deformed by heat alone, the abutting portion 504 bends inward and is misaligned with the adjacent abutting portion 504, so that the cooling liquid can enter between the abutting portion 504 and the power battery 4 and directly contact the power battery 4, and the accuracy of local cooling of the power battery 4 is improved.

[0039] Referring to Figures 7 to 9 , the lower part of the detection piece 6 is provided with a flow guide portion 601, the flow guide portion 601 is composed of a plurality of equidistantly distributed metal sheets, so as to avoid affecting the bending of the detection piece 6, and the flow guide portion 601 is inclined from top to bottom to the inside of the spacer 5.

[0040] The above arrangement can achieve that the flow guide portion 601 guides the flow of the cooling liquid, so that after the abutting portion 504 loses contact with the power battery 4, the cooling liquid can enter between the abutting portion 504 and the power battery 4 and exchange heat with the power battery 4 more quickly, and when multiple abutting portions 504 in the same column bend at the same time, the cooling liquid flowing in the side flow channel 502 can enter between the abutting portion 504 and the power battery 4 through the guidance of the flow guide portion 601, thereby enhancing the local heat exchange efficiency of the power battery 4.

[0041] Referring to Figures 2 to 5Further comprising: four support frames 7, respectively fixedly connected in the four spaces of the shell 1, the support frames 7 are made of silicon carbide ceramic, and the support frames 7 are porous structures similar to sponges, that is, the inside of the support frames 7 has randomly distributed and interconnected holes, which enables the cooling liquid to still contact the power battery 4 while providing support for the power battery 4; the upper and lower sides and the side away from the containing plate 2 of the power battery 4 and the spacer 5 are in contact with the adjacent support frames 7 at the same time.

[0042] The above arrangement can achieve that the support frames 7 provide support for the small-area side of the power battery 4, while maintaining the stability of the power battery 4 and enabling the cooling liquid to fully contact the power battery 4, thereby improving the stability of the power battery 4.

[0043] The heat exchange process with the above arrangement is as follows: in actual use, the cooling liquid in the cooling liquid circulation module enters the liquid inlet flow channel 201, and then enters the lower part of the four spaces of the shell 1 (hereinafter, the power battery 4 in the right front space of the shell 1 will be taken as an example for description), the cooling liquid flows in the lower part of the support frame 7 and contacts the lower side of the power battery 4, at the same time, the cooling liquid moves upward in the right part of the support frame 7, between the middle flow channel 501, the side flow channel 502, the power battery 4 and the spacer 5, between the spacer 5 and the partition plate 3, between the spacer 5 and the shell 1, and finally enters the upper part of the support frame 7 and flows along the support frame 7 to the liquid outlet flow channel 202, and then returns to the cooling liquid circulation module through the liquid outlet flow channel 202; when the power battery 4 is working normally, the cooling liquid circulation module controls the flow rate of the cooling liquid in the shell 1, thereby maintaining the temperature stability of the power battery 4.

[0044] When the local heat of the power battery 4 is high (in this paragraph, the deformation of the abutting portion 504 on the lower side due to heat will be taken as an example for description, and the view angle of the top view will be taken as an example for description): Figure 7 When the local heat of the power battery 4 is high (in this paragraph, the deformation of the abutting portion 504 on the lower side due to heat will be taken as an example for description, and the view angle of the top view will be taken as an example for description): Figure 7 When the local heat of the power battery 4 is high (in this paragraph, the deformation of the abutting portion 504 on the lower side due to heat will be taken as an example for description, and the view angle of the top view will be taken as an example for description):

[0045] After the temperature of the power battery 4 is recovered, the abutting portion 504 is deformed again to restore the abutting portion 504, the swinging portion 503 and the detection member 6.

[0046] Embodiment 2: The embodiment provides a temperature control device for a new energy automobile battery, and on the basis of embodiment 1, a function of preferentially supporting the power battery is provided.

[0047] Referring to Figures 6 to 10 The detection member 6 is fixedly connected with a limiting member 8 in the adjacent side flow channel 502 through a support, and the swinging portion 503 is provided with a limiting hook groove 801 for limiting the adjacent limiting member 8 (for reference Figure 7 The minimum distance between the two limiting hook grooves 801 on the same side flow channel 502 in the left-right direction is greater than the maximum length of the limiting member 8 in the left-right direction, and the abutting portion 504 is provided with a bending portion 802 which is arc-shaped and used to provide a swinging allowance for the swinging portion 503 when the abutting portion 504 is not bent.

[0048] The above arrangement can realize that the support demand of the power battery 4 is determined through the limiting state of the limiting hook groove 801 and the limiting member 8. When the power battery 4 is stable, the limiting hook groove 801 does not limit the limiting member 8, and at this time, the abutting portion 504 can change the contact state according to the temperature change of the power battery 4. When the power battery 4 vibrates, the limiting hook groove 801 limits the limiting member 8, and at this time, the limiting member 8 locks the detection member 6 and the abutting portion 504, suppresses the deformation of the abutting portion 504 due to heat, maintains the maximum support area, and preferentially provides support for the power battery 4.

[0049] Referring to Figure 7 The limiting member 8 is an arc-shaped plate, and the support connecting the limiting member 8 and the adjacent detection member 6 is located in the middle part of the limiting member 8 and the detection member 6, so that when the limiting member 8 is bent by being pressed by the adjacent two swinging portions 503, the limiting member 8 can apply a pressing force to the detection member 6.

[0050] With the above setting, the working process is as follows: when the power battery 4 vibrates (for example, when the new energy vehicle drives on a bumpy road), the vibration of the power battery 4 causes the adjacent spacer 5 to be extruded, so that the thickness of the spacer 5 in the up-down direction is reduced, and in the process, the swing part 503 is extruded and bent from the root, and the bent part 802 is bent under pressure, and the deformation of the swing part 503 and the bent part 802 buffers the vibration of the power battery 4; in the process of swinging of the swing part 503, the minimum distance between the two adjacent swing parts 503 is reduced, the minimum distance between the two adjacent limiting hook grooves 801 in the left-right direction is reduced, and the distance between the limiting hook groove 801 and the adjacent limiting piece 8 is reduced, and finally the two contact, at this time the limiting hook groove 801 limits the limiting piece 8, and the two bent swing parts 503 extrude the left and right sides of the limiting piece 8 at the same time, so that the limiting piece 8 has a bending trend, and then the middle part of the limiting piece 8 applies extrusion force to the middle part of the detection piece 6 in the direction of the abutting part 504, so as to keep the abutting part 504 and the detection piece 6 flat, and then keep the abutting part 504 and the power battery 4 in contact.

[0051] When the power battery 4 is stable, the above steps are repeated in reverse, and the swing part 503 and the bent part 802 are restored under the action of their own elastic force, and the limiting hook groove 801 releases the limiting of the limiting piece 8, at this time the abutting part 504 and the detection piece 6 can deform by themselves.

[0052] Embodiment 3: The embodiment provides a temperature control device for a new energy vehicle battery, which enhances the stability of the power battery on the basis of embodiment 2.

[0053] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the elastic cylinder 9 is fixed in the middle flow channel 501, and initially the elastic cylinder 9 is in a deformed and stored force state, so that the elastic cylinder 9 is used to provide extrusion force for the spacer 5.

[0054] The above setting can realize that the elastic cylinder 9 provides extrusion force for the spacer 5, so that the spacer 5 has a supporting force for the power battery 4, enhances the supporting effect of the spacer 5 on the power battery 4, and improves the stability of the power battery 4.

[0055] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application.
