TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of intelligent batteries, and particularly relates to a square intelligent battery structure of a transmission shaft. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of industry 4.0, mechanical transmission systems are evolving towards intelligentization and wireless interconnection. As a core component, the built-in sensors, controllers and other intelligent elements of the intelligent transmission shaft need stable and reliable power supply. At present, the batteries matched with the transmission shaft on the market are mostly in a circular structure, which has the following defects: first, the structure positioning of the circular battery is unreliable under the high-speed rotating condition of the transmission shaft, which easily leads to the displacement of the battery cell and causes the risk of internal short circuit; second, the circular battery has poor heat dissipation performance, and the radial positioning of the traditional circular battery only depends on a simple annular clamp without a stable anti-displacement structure. When the transmission shaft rotates at high speed, the battery cell group is easily subjected to axial movement under the action of centrifugal force, which leads to the fatigue fracture of the tab welding point and further causes the positive and negative plate contact short circuit, and even causes thermal runaway in severe cases.

[0003] Based on this, the square intelligent battery structure of the transmission shaft is provided, which can eliminate the defects of the existing device. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to provide a square intelligent battery structure of a transmission shaft to solve the problems in the background art.

The square battery shell, the upper warehouse cover and the lower warehouse cover form a square split warehouse structure, and the middle warehouse partition plate divides the inside into an upper warehouse chamber and a lower warehouse chamber.

[0016] The present application divides the battery into an upper warehouse chamber and a lower warehouse chamber through the middle warehouse partition plate. The upper warehouse chamber integrates intelligent control elements such as BMS system and wireless communication module, and the lower warehouse chamber accommodates the battery pack, realizing physical isolation of the control module and the energy storage module and avoiding electrical interference.

[0037] Example 1: Shell and cover processing: The shell 1, upper cover 2 and lower cover 4 of the square battery are made of 6061 aluminum alloy material and formed by die casting process. After forming, the surface is treated by anodic oxidation to enhance corrosion resistance. The height of the trapezoidal cross-section texture on the surface of the shell is 2mm, and the top angle is 60°, which not only ensures the structural strength, but also maximizes the heat dissipation area.
