[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] Reference Figures 1-7 A sand vehicle battery heat dissipation installation box and a sand vehicle, the sand vehicle is configured with a battery heat dissipation installation box, a power battery is configured in the installation box, and a hub motor is configured on the rear wheel of the vehicle, the power battery is used to provide power support for the hub motor, wherein the hub motor is involved into the power system at the starting stage of the vehicle or when the vehicle accelerates to overtake, so as to assist the vehicle to start quickly or to overtake quickly.

[0028] The heat dissipation installation box comprises a base 1, the base 1 is configured with a battery box 2 for placing a battery and a conversion device for converting a heat dissipation mode, the peripheral wall of the battery box 2 is uniformly provided with heat dissipation grooves 21 for ventilation and heat dissipation, so that the wind from outside blows into the battery box 2 to dissipate heat for the battery fixedly placed inside, and a guide rod 211 is configured on the heat dissipation groove 21, a heat dissipation block 22 is slidingly guided on the guide rod 211, a sliding groove 221 is formed on the heat dissipation block 22, the heat dissipation block 22 is slidingly guided on the guide rod 211 of the heat dissipation groove 21 through the sliding groove 221, the heat dissipation block 22 moves forward and backward to block or open the heat dissipation groove 21, a first elastic member is configured between the guide rod 211 and the heat dissipation block 22, and the first elastic member is used to move the heat dissipation block 22 into the battery box 2 to make the heat dissipation groove 21 in an open state.

[0029] The upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the heat dissipation block 22 are provided with top contact blocks 222, which make the inner wall of the heat dissipation block 22 into a C shape. The battery body of the vehicle is fixedly installed in the battery box 2, and gaps are left between the battery body and the four walls of the battery box 2 for air circulation and heat dissipation. The heat dissipation block 22 slides into the battery box 2 under the action of the first elastic member, and the top contact blocks 222 on the heat dissipation block 22 contact the end walls of the battery body, so that the middle region of the inner wall of the heat dissipation block 22 is not in contact with the battery body, and air can flow through the gap. The heat dissipation block 22 is made of a heat-conducting material, so that the heat on the battery body is absorbed by the top contact blocks 222. When air flows into the heat dissipation groove 21, it passes through the heat dissipation block 22 and is cooled by the heat dissipation block 22. At the same time, the air flows through the gap between the heat dissipation block 22 and the battery body to cool the battery body.

[0030] A contact plate 223 is arranged at the middle position of the inner wall of the heat dissipation block 22. One end of the contact plate 223 is connected to an annular folding cover, and the other end of the annular folding cover is tightly fitted on the middle position of the inner wall of the heat dissipation block 22. Thus, the annular folding cover, the inner wall of the heat dissipation block 22 and the contact plate 223 form a sealed chamber. The heat dissipation block 22 is connected to a liquid cooling device. An injection port and an outlet port are respectively arranged on the side walls of the top contact blocks 222, and the two ports are in communication with the sealed chamber. The injection port and the outlet port are respectively in communication with the circulating pipeline of the liquid cooling device. After the liquid cooling device is started, the cooling liquid is injected from the injection port into the sealed chamber and flows out from the outlet port to return to the liquid storage tank, thereby circulating and dissipating heat.

[0031] A pressure valve is arranged on the outlet port. When the pressure of the outlet port reaches a set value, the outlet port is opened, and the cooling liquid circulation operation is performed. In the initial state, the sealed chamber is in a deflated state. After the cooling liquid is injected inward, the pressure value in the sealed chamber does not reach the set value, and the outlet port is not opened. At this time, the cooling liquid remains in the sealed chamber. The annular folding cover is an annular organ cover, so that the sealed chamber can expand and push the contact plate 223 to move forward and contact the side wall of the battery body. The contact plate 223 is made of a heat-conducting metal. At this time, the cooling liquid continues to be injected, and the heat dissipation block 22 moves out of the battery box 2. Finally, the inclined surface at the front end of the heat dissipation block 22 contacts the heat dissipation groove 21, thereby blocking the heat dissipation groove 21. At this time, the heat dissipation block 22 cannot move any more, and the space inside the sealed chamber does not become larger. At this time, the injection port continues to inject the cooling liquid, thereby increasing the pressure in the sealed chamber. When the set value is reached, the outlet port is opened, and the excess cooling liquid is returned to the liquid storage tank through the pipeline.

[0032] And the pressure in the sealed chamber is maintained at a set pressure, and the peripheral wall of the battery box 2 is provided with a heat dissipation groove 21, and the heat dissipation block 22 is arranged in each heat dissipation groove 21, and the battery body is in contact with the heat dissipation block on the four peripheral surfaces, and the heat dissipation block 22 on the four peripheral surfaces is pressed tightly on the side surface of the battery body, which prevents the battery body from deforming due to excessive temperature, and the contact plate 223 is in contact with the battery body, and the cooling in the sealed chamber is realized by heat exchange through the contact plate 223, thereby cooling the battery body.

[0033] Wherein the liquid cooling device includes a liquid storage tank and a circulating pump, the circulating pump is powered by the battery body, the circulating pump can rotate forward or reverse, when the heat dissipation operation is performed, the circulating pump rotates forward, and the cooling liquid in the liquid storage tank is injected into the sealed chamber from the injection port, and the battery body is fixed and supported, and the battery body is cooled by liquid cooling, when the temperature of the battery body decreases to the set temperature and the humidity decreases to the set value, the air cooling can be started at this time, at this time the circulating pump is reversed, the pressure valve on the outlet is a one-way valve, therefore the circulating pump reverses to suck the cooling liquid in the sealed chamber back to the liquid storage tank, thereby the space of the sealed chamber is reduced and returns to the initial state, the heat dissipation block 22 is pressed on the battery body by the top contact block 222 under the action of the first elastic member, and the battery box 2 returns to the air cooling state.

[0034] The base 1 is also provided with a filter screen device for filtering the air entering the battery box 2, the filter screen device includes a filter screen 41 and a rotating roller 42, the rotating roller 42 is rotatably arranged on the base 1, the battery box 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and four rotating rollers 42 are respectively located outside the four right angles of the cross section of the battery box 2, the filter screen 41 is tightly sleeved on the four rotating rollers 42, so that the filter screen 41 surrounds the four peripheral surfaces of the battery box 2 upward, one of the rotating rollers 42 is a power roller or a rotating motor is connected to one of the rotating rollers 42, thereby making this rotating roller 42 rotate, the rotating roller 42 drives the filter screen 41 to rotate, and a sponge layer 411 is arranged on the inner side of the filter screen 41, the sponge layer 411 is used to absorb the moisture in the flowing air, and a detection unit is also arranged on the base 1, the detection unit is used to detect the humidity in the battery box 2 and the temperature of the battery body, because the sand beach vehicle is used in the sand beach environment, the salt content in the air is relatively high, therefore when the humidity around the battery box 2 is too high, the contact or control parts on the battery body will be corroded, and when the temperature of the battery body is too high, the battery body will become unstable and be damaged, therefore when the detection unit detects that the humidity in the battery box 2 exceeds the set value or the temperature of the battery body exceeds the set value, the battery box 2 is closed and converted to a liquid cooling state.

[0035] In the initial state, the heat dissipation slot 21 is open, and the battery body is cooled by air. When the ATV is in motion, air enters the battery box 2 from the front end and flows out from the rear end of the battery box 2, thus performing air cooling on the battery body inside.

[0036] Before entering the battery box 2, the air passes through the filter screen 41, which filters out the sand and gravel in the air. The sponge layer 411 absorbs the moisture at the end of the air. At the same time, the rotating roller 42 drives the filter screen 41 to rotate. The front end of the annular filter screen is the windward side, so the sand and gravel accumulate on the front end of the filter screen. As the rotating roller 42 drives the filter screen 41 to rotate, the filter screen area on the windward side is constantly changing. When the filter screen containing sand and gravel moves to the side or rear end of the battery box 2, the vibration force of the vehicle driving will shake the sand and gravel off the filter screen. At the same time, when it moves to the rear end, the air blown out from the rear end will simultaneously blow the filter screen 41 outward.

[0037] Since the filter element 41 is tensioned and mounted on four rotating rollers 42, the sponge layer 411 at the rotating rollers 42 is in a compressed state. Therefore, the sponge layer 411 undergoes a squeezing operation each time it passes over the rotating rollers 42, thereby squeezing out the water in the sponge layer 411 at the point of passage and drying the sponge layer 411. At the same time, when the sponge layer 411 passes the rear end of the battery box 2, the heat from the battery is carried away, which to some extent dries the sponge layer 411 passing from the rear end.

[0038] Its working principle or usage method is as follows:

[0039] In the initial state, the heat dissipation slot 21 is in the open state. At this time, the battery body is cooled by air cooling. When the ATV is in motion, air enters the battery box 2 from the front end and flows out from the rear end of the battery box 2, performing air cooling operation on the battery body inside.

[0040] Before entering the battery box 2, the air passes through the filter screen 41, which filters out the sand and gravel in the air. The sponge layer 411 absorbs the moisture at the end of the air. At the same time, the rotating roller 42 drives the filter screen 41 to rotate. When the filter screen containing sand and gravel moves to the side or rear end of the battery box 2, the vibration force of the vehicle driving will shake the sand and gravel off the filter screen. The sponge layer 411 is squeezed once each time it passes through the rotating roller 42, thereby squeezing out the moisture in the sponge layer 411 at the location it passes through. When the filter screen moves to the rear end of the battery box 2, the air blown out from the rear end simultaneously blows the filter screen 41 outward, that is, dries the sponge layer 411 and blows the filter screen outward.

[0041] When the detection unit detects that the humidity inside the battery box 2 exceeds the set value or the battery body temperature exceeds the set value, the liquid cooling device is activated, thereby switching the cooling method to liquid cooling mode.

[0042] After the liquid cooling device is started, it can inject coolant into the sealed chamber from the inlet. A pressure valve is installed on the outlet. When the pressure at the outlet reaches the set value, the outlet opens, and the coolant circulates.

[0043] The sealed chamber is initially deflated. After coolant is injected, the outlet does not open because the pressure inside the sealed chamber does not reach the set value. At this time, the coolant remains in the sealed chamber, and the sealed chamber can expand, pushing the contact plate 223 forward to touch the side wall of the battery body. At this time, the coolant continues to be injected, causing the heat sink 22 to move out of the battery box 2. Finally, the inclined surface at the front end of the heat sink 22 touches the heat sink 21, thus sealing the heat sink 21. At this time, the heat sink 22 can no longer move, and the battery box 2 is in a closed state.

[0044] After the battery box 2 is sealed, the space inside the sealed chamber no longer increases. At this time, the injection port continues to inject coolant, which causes the pressure inside the sealed chamber to rise. When the set pressure is reached, the outlet opens, allowing excess coolant to flow back into the reservoir through the pipe. The pressure inside the sealed chamber is maintained at the set pressure. The heat dissipation blocks 22 on the four sides of the battery box 2 press the sides of the battery body to prevent the battery body from deforming due to excessive temperature. At the same time, the contact plate 223 contacts the battery body, and the cooling inside the sealed chamber is achieved through the heat exchange via the contact plate 223, thereby dissipating heat from the battery body.

[0045] Example 2:

[0046] The difference between this embodiment and Example 1 lies in the structure of the filter device; all other aspects are the same. See also... Figures 1-8 An inclined air guide plate 12 is provided between the rear end of the battery box 2 and the base 1, and an air outlet 11 is provided on the base 1. The air outlet 11 is located between the battery box 2 and the air guide plate 12. An air vent is provided on the air guide plate 12. The air vent is aligned with the inner wall of the filter screen 41 behind it through a channel component. The airflow entering the battery box 2 flows out from the air vent and acts on the filter screen 41 to blow the filter screen outward.

[0047] The airflow from the rear end of the battery box 2 is guided by the air guide plate 12 and flows outward from the air outlet 11 on the base 1, thereby reducing the resistance of the airflow and allowing the air at the front end of the battery box 2 to quickly enter the battery box 2.

[0048] Part of the airflow enters the channel member, so that the air can flow quickly and part of the air can blow the filter screen member 41 at the rear end.

[0049] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing examples can be modified, or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
