Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sodium battery power battery pack technology, and more specifically, to a modular sodium battery heavy truck liquid-cooled plug box structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, new energy vehicles are becoming increasingly popular in the market. Among them, new energy heavy trucks mainly use lithium iron phosphate battery packs. Although lithium-ion batteries have a slight advantage in energy density compared to sodium batteries, sodium-ion batteries perform particularly well in terms of safety and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, due to the complex operating environment of new energy heavy trucks, higher requirements are placed on the safety and stability of the battery packs for new energy heavy trucks.

[0003] In addition, when new energy heavy trucks frequently stop and brake during operation, the coolant inside the battery compartment will shake violently due to inertia. This shaking not only exacerbates the uneven distribution of coolant, but may also cause too much or too little coolant in some areas, thereby affecting the overall heat dissipation effect of the battery module.

[0004] Uneven distribution and violent shaking of the coolant not only reduce the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery pack, but may also cause thermal shock to the battery module, affecting the temperature uniformity and consistency of the battery. In the long run, this will accelerate the aging process of the battery and may even lead to serious safety problems such as battery thermal runaway.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a modular sodium-electric heavy-duty truck liquid-cooled insert box structure is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0042] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, the directional terms such as "up" and "down" generally refer to the directions shown in the accompanying drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "left" and "right" generally refer to the left and right shown in the accompanying drawings; "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0043] For examples, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 8 A modular sodium-electric heavy-duty truck liquid-cooled insert box structure includes an insert box mechanism 1, and a sodium-electric module 2 is provided inside the insert box mechanism 1.

[0044] The box insertion mechanism 1 consists of a liquid-cooled base plate 101 and a box cover 102. The liquid-cooled base plate 101 has a liquid-cooled cavity 103, and the liquid-cooled cavity 103 is provided with staggered partition plates 104. One end of the partition plate 104 is provided with a one-way flow component 3, and the one-way flow component 3 and the partition plate 104 divide the liquid-cooled cavity 103 into multiple liquid-cooled zones 105. Multiple buffer plates 106 are arranged in an array in the liquid-cooled zone 105.

[0045] The liquid cooling base plate 101 is provided with a liquid inlet 107 and a liquid outlet 108, and the liquid inlet 107 and the liquid outlet 108 are connected to the liquid cooling cavity 103. The flow direction of the unidirectional flow component 3 is from the liquid inlet 107 to the liquid outlet 108.

[0046] The liquid-cooled base plate 101 is a concave box that is paired and sealed with the box cover 102 to enclose the sodium battery module 2 inside. The inner wall of the box cover 102 is covered with insulating sheets for electrical insulation. The box cover 102 and the liquid-cooled base plate 101 are fixedly connected by bolts, and a sealing ring is provided between their contact surfaces to facilitate waterproofing and airtightness of the sodium battery liquid-cooled insertion box. The liquid-cooled cavity 103 is opened at the bottom of the concave box of the liquid-cooled base plate 101, and coolant flows in the liquid-cooled cavity 103. When the sodium battery module 2 is placed inside the insertion box mechanism 1, the coolant flowing in the liquid-cooled cavity 103 can dissipate heat and cool down the sodium battery module 2.

[0047] Furthermore, the coolant enters through the inlet 107 and flows into the liquid cooling chamber 103, then flows to the next liquid cooling zone 105 through the one-way flow assembly 3, allowing the coolant to circulate within the liquid cooling chamber 103. Since the partition plates 104 are staggered within the liquid cooling chamber 103, their specific distribution is as follows... Figure 5 As shown, the channels connecting the multiple liquid cooling zones 105 are S-shaped and reciprocate, which makes the coolant flow more uniform in the liquid cooling cavity 103, thereby improving the cooling effect. Because the channels formed by the connection of the multiple liquid cooling zones 105 are S-shaped and reciprocate, multiple unidirectional flow components 3 are alternately arranged at both ends in the liquid cooling cavity 103.

[0048] When a heavy truck comes to a stop, the inertia of the vehicle causes the coolant to impact the forward direction. The impact causes the coolant to rebound, resulting in uneven distribution of the coolant in the liquid cooling chamber 103 for a short period of time, which in turn affects the heat dissipation effect of the sodium battery module 2.

[0049] Therefore, in this invention, by setting up multiple partition plates 104 and one-way flow components 3, when the heavy truck stops, the coolant impacts the partition plates 104 and one-way flow components 3, so that the coolant in the multiple liquid cooling zones 105 will not mix together, but will remain in the current liquid cooling zone. Since the volume of the liquid cooling zone 105 is smaller than that of the entire liquid cooling cavity 103, the coolant can quickly recover its stability after impact in the liquid cooling zone 105. This makes the coolant in the entire liquid cooling cavity 103 less turbulent when it stops and easier to recover its stability, thereby maintaining uniform heat dissipation.

[0050] It is important to note that the installation of this invention requires specific alignment. First, after installation, the inlet 107 must be positioned in front of the outlet 108, with the inlet indicating the direction of the truck's movement. After entering through the inlet 107, the coolant passes through multiple reciprocating S-shaped liquid cooling zones 105 and then flows out through the outlet 108. Therefore, during normal flow, the coolant flows in the opposite direction to the forward movement. Thus, when the coolant passes through the one-way flow component 3, it is transported backward. When the heavy truck brakes, the coolant, due to inertia, will impact the forward movement. However, the one-way flow component 3 can only transport the coolant backward, preventing it from flowing into adjacent liquid cooling zones 105 after impacting the one-way flow component. Consequently, after the heavy truck brakes, the coolant can only slosh within its current liquid cooling zone 105, reducing the intensity of the oscillation and allowing the oscillation to stabilize quickly within a smaller space.

[0051] Additionally, it should be noted that the axial direction of the partition plate 104 is perpendicular to the forward direction of the heavy truck, so that when there is an impact, the coolant hits the partition plate 104.

[0052] Preferably, multiple buffer plates 106 are also provided in the multiple liquid cooling zones 105, so that the coolant in the liquid cooling zone 105 is further buffered after the coolant stops, thereby reducing the oscillation intensity of the coolant when it stops.

[0053] The partition plate 104 has a rotating groove 104a and a rod insertion groove 104b at one end, and the rotating groove 104a and the rod insertion groove 104b are connected.

[0054] The one-way flow assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 4 disposed in the rotating groove 104a, a flow roller valve 5 disposed on the rotating shaft 4, and an anti-rotation rod 301 disposed in the insertion rod groove 104b.

[0055] Both ends of the flow roller valve 5 are equipped with rotating shafts 4, and the liquid-cooled base plate 101 and the partition plate 104 are both provided with rotating grooves 104a for rotating installation of the rotating shafts 4. The rotating grooves 104a on the partition plate 104 are provided with connecting insertion grooves 104b. After installation, the insertion grooves 104b are vertical, allowing the anti-rotation rod 301 to automatically move downwards and engage with the rotating shafts 4 under gravity, thus preventing rotation. It should be noted that during normal coolant delivery, the rotating shafts 4 of the unidirectional flow assembly 3... The rotation direction will push the anti-rotation rod 301 upward. When the heavy truck stops, when the coolant hits the flow roller valve 5 in the forward direction, the impact force will change the rotation of the rotating shaft 4, thereby causing the anti-rotation rod 301 to move downward and engage with the rotating shaft 4. This prevents the flow roller valve 5 from rotating, thereby controlling the coolant in the liquid cooling zone 105 and preventing mixing of the flow. This would result in some liquid cooling zones 105 having more coolant and others having less coolant, thus creating an uneven distribution of coolant.

[0056] During the up-and-down movement of the anti-rotation rod 301, its end is located in the insertion groove 104b.

[0057] The rotating shaft component 4 includes a rotating shaft 401 that is rotatably matched with the rotating groove 104a, and three sets of snap-fit ​​grooves 402 opened on the circumferential side wall of the rotating shaft 401.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the arc surface of the snap-fit ​​groove 402 and the circumferential side wall of the rotating shaft 401 transition smoothly, and the straight surface of the snap-fit ​​groove 402 corresponds to and abuts against each other, thereby preventing the rotating shaft 4 from rotating.

[0059] by Figure 7 To elaborate further, when the coolant is flowing normally, the coolant pushes the flow roller valve 5 to rotate clockwise. When the shaft 401 rotates, the anti-rotation rod 301 will enter the outer circumference of the shaft 401 along the arc surface of the locking groove 402. During this process, the anti-rotation rod 301 gradually moves upward. When it rotates 120 degrees, the anti-rotation rod 301 will enter the next locking groove 402 again from the circumference side wall of the shaft 401 and correspond to the arc surface of the locking groove 402 again. Then, under the action of gravity, the anti-rotation rod 301 moves downward again.

[0060] When the heavy truck comes to a stop during operation, the coolant pushes the flow roller valve 5 to rotate counterclockwise. The anti-rotation rod 301 will move in the opposite direction along the circumferential side wall of the rotating shaft 401 towards the straight surface of the locking groove 402. When the rotating shaft 401 rotates counterclockwise to the point where the straight surface of the locking groove 402 touches the anti-rotation rod 301, the rotating shaft 401 can no longer rotate, thus preventing the flow roller valve 5 from rotating and preventing the coolant from entering the adjacent liquid cooling zone 105.

[0061] The flow roller valve 5 includes a shaft roller 501 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 401, and three sets of closed blades 502 arranged in a circumferential array on the shaft roller 501.

[0062] The end of the roller 501 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 401 and rotates with the rotating shaft 401. When the sealing blade 502 rotates and comes into contact with the bottom of the liquid cooling cavity 103, the two liquid cooling zones 105 are sealed. When the coolant is flowing normally, when it flows through the one-way flow component 3, the rotating shaft 401 can rotate, so the sealing blade 502 does not block the coolant. When the heavy truck stops, the anti-rotation rod 301 and the vertical surface of the locking groove 402 abut. At this time, one of the three sets of sealing blades 502 is in a vertical state and comes into contact with the bottom of the liquid cooling cavity 103, thus sealing the liquid cooling zone 105.

[0063] It should be noted that the arrangement of the three sets of sealed blades 502 is such that when one set of sealed blades 502 is vertically aligned with the bottom of the liquid cooling cavity 103, the other two sets of sealed blades 502 are as follows: Figure 7 As shown, the coolant is inclined upwards. When the heavy truck stops, the inertia of the coolant will impact the vertical closed blade 502 and the inclined upward closed blade 502. Since the vertical closed blade 502 and the direction of inertia of the coolant are perpendicular to each other, the impact force of the coolant on the surface is undamaged. However, the inclined upward closed blade 502 has a deflection angle with the direction of inertia of the coolant, so the impact force will be deflected. Therefore, the force pushing the inclined upward closed blade 502 is smaller. Thus, under this design, the shaft 401 will definitely rotate counterclockwise, thereby stopping the shaft 401 from rotating. In addition, the closed blade 502 seals each liquid cooling zone 105, preventing the coolant from flowing between them.

[0064] Regarding the design of three sets of closed blades 502, a comparison of the effects is further conducted by designing four sets of closed blades 502, as an example. Figure 8 As shown, when the four sets of closed blades 502 are in a cross shape, when one of the closed blades 502 is in a vertical position and not touching the bottom of the liquid cooling cavity 103, the four sets of closed blades 502 will maintain a cross shape. In order to ensure that the rotating shaft 401 is in a stopped state when the closed blades 502 are in a vertical position and not touching the bottom of the liquid cooling cavity 103, the corresponding number of locking grooves 402 on the rotating shaft 401 also need to be opened. Two of the four sets of closed blades 502 in the cross shape are set vertically. When the heavy truck stops, the inertial impact force of the coolant on the two sets of vertical closed blades 502 is the same. However, since the coolant rotates clockwise during normal flow, under the same inertial impact force, the flow roller valve 5 will most likely still rotate clockwise. This means that when the heavy truck stops, it is impossible to see the liquid cooling zone 105 being separated and closed to reduce the intensity of coolant oscillation.
