However, providing a water cooling plate between any adjacent battery cells and interconnecting the water cooling plates makes assembly cumbersome and raises the risk of coolant leakage. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, one purpose of the present application is to provide a battery device with a simple structure and easy assembly, which can also effectively solve the problem of coolant leakage and improve the safety and service life of the battery device.
[0004] The present application further proposes an electrical device.
[0005] The present application further proposes a box of a battery device.
[0006] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery device, comprising: a case and a battery cell, wherein the battery cell is disposed in the case; a heat dissipation structure, wherein the heat dissipation structure is fixedly disposed in the case, wherein a portion of the heat dissipation structure is located in the case and cooperates with the battery cell for heat exchange, and another portion of the heat dissipation structure is located outside the case, and the heat dissipation structure and the case are integrally formed.
[0007] In the above technical solution, by setting a part of the heat dissipation structure inside the box body to cooperate with the heat exchange of the battery monomer, and another part of the heat dissipation structure outside the box body to exchange heat with the external environment, the heat of the battery monomer can be transferred to the outside of the box body through the heat dissipation structure, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the battery device. In addition, the heat dissipation structure has a simple structure and is easy to assemble, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the battery device and improving the assembly efficiency of the battery device. In addition, it can also effectively solve the problem of coolant leakage, thereby effectively improving the use safety and service life of the battery device. The heat dissipation structure and the box body are integrally formed, which can improve the connection reliability of the heat dissipation structure and the box body, and can reduce the probability of fracture at the connection between the heat dissipation structure and the box body, thereby improving the structural reliability of the battery device, and can also reduce the production molds and production processes in the production process of the battery device, thereby reducing the production cost of the battery device, and is also conducive to improving the production efficiency of the battery device.
[0008] In some embodiments, another portion of the heat dissipation structure is located below the box.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the other part of the heat dissipation structure is located below the box body, so that the other part of the heat dissipation structure can be set away from the vehicle chassis, thereby reducing the risk of heat from other components on the chassis (such as: engine, exhaust pipe, etc.) being transferred to the heat dissipation structure, thereby reducing the risk of heat dissipation failure of the battery device or even the risk of the battery device exploding due to excessive temperature. It can also reduce the risk of other components on the vehicle chassis blocking the airflow, which is conducive to improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure, and is conducive to the battery device working within a suitable temperature range, thereby further improving the safety and service life of the battery device.
[0010] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation structure abuts against the battery cell.
[0011] In the above technical solution, the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell are abutted, which can reduce the heat transfer path of the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell, thereby reducing the thermal resistance between the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell, which is beneficial for the heat generated by the battery cell to be quickly transferred to the heat dissipation structure, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell, reducing the risk of heat accumulation in the battery cell due to slow heat exchange efficiency, and further reducing the risk of damage to the battery cell due to continuous increase in the temperature of the battery cell, which is beneficial for increasing the service life of the battery cell.
[0012] In some embodiments, the battery cell has a first side wall and a second side wall that are adjacent to each other, the area of the first side wall is greater than the area of the second side wall, and the heat dissipation structure abuts against the first side wall.
[0013] In the above technical solution, the heat dissipation structure abuts against the first side wall of the battery cell, which can increase the contact area between the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell, so that the heat of the battery cell is evenly transferred to the heat dissipation structure, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different positions of the battery cell, reducing the risk of local overheating of the battery cell, and thus improving the temperature uniformity of the battery device. It can also further improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell, reduce the risk of heat accumulation in the battery cell due to slow heat exchange efficiency, and thus reduce the risk of damage to the battery cell due to continuous temperature increase of the battery cell, which is conducive to further improving the service life of the battery cell. In addition, the heat dissipation structure can effectively support the battery cell and improve the stability of the battery cell position.
[0014] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation structure is a metal member.
[0015] In the above technical solution, the heat dissipation structure is a metal part, which can make the heat dissipation structure have a higher thermal conductivity, which is conducive to the rapid transfer of heat from the battery cell to the part of the heat dissipation structure located in the box, and quickly spread to the entire heat dissipation structure, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the battery cell and the heat dissipation structure. It is also conducive to the heat dissipation structure being processed into a shape that is compatible with the battery cell according to the shape and arrangement of the battery cell, so that the heat dissipation structure can better meet the heat dissipation requirements of the battery device. In addition, the support strength of the heat dissipation structure is improved, and the stability of the battery cell position is further improved.
[0016] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation structure is a plate-shaped structure.
[0017] In the above technical solution, the heat dissipation structure is a plate-like structure, which can increase the surface area of the heat dissipation structure, which is conducive to improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell and the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation structure itself, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the battery device. The thickness of the heat dissipation structure can also be made smaller, which is conducive to the heat dissipation structure being smoothly assembled in the gap between two adjacent battery cells. Furthermore, the thickness of the heat dissipation structure can be adjusted according to the distance between the battery cells of different battery devices, so that the heat dissipation structure can be adapted to different battery devices, thereby improving the versatility of the heat dissipation structure.
[0018] In some embodiments, the thickness of the heat dissipation structure is greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm.
[0019] In the above technical solution, by making the thickness of the heat dissipation structure greater than or equal to 1 mm and less than or equal to 3 mm, the heat dissipation structure can reliably support the battery cell. On the basis of the heat dissipation structure meeting the structural strength requirements, it is beneficial to reduce the space occupied by the heat dissipation structure, so that there is more space in the box for assembling battery cells, which is beneficial to improving the energy density of the battery device, and is also beneficial to the conduction of heat on the heat dissipation structure, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0020] In some embodiments, the box body defines an installation cavity, the battery cell is disposed in the installation cavity, and the heat dissipation structure is disposed through the bottom wall of the installation cavity.
[0021] In the above technical solution, the battery cell is arranged in the installation cavity, so that the battery cell can work stably in the installation cavity, which is conducive to reducing the impact of the external environment on the battery cell, thereby improving the working stability of the battery cell and extending the service life of the battery cell. The heat dissipation structure is arranged through the bottom wall of the installation cavity, so that part of the heat dissipation structure is located in the box body and the other part is located outside the box body, so that the heat generated by the battery cell can be transferred to the external environment, thereby achieving the effect of heat dissipation of the heat of the battery cell through the heat dissipation structure, which is conducive to the battery device working within a suitable temperature range, thereby improving the safety and service life of the battery device.
[0022] In some embodiments, the box body includes an upper box body and a lower box body, the upper box body and the lower box body are connected to define an installation cavity, and the box body bottom wall of the lower box body is configured as a cavity bottom wall.
[0023] In the above technical solution, the box body includes an upper box body and a lower box body, and the upper box body and the lower box body are connected to define an installation cavity. The battery monomer is assembled to the lower box body through the open side of the lower box body, and the upper box body is covered on the open side of the lower box body, so that the battery monomer can be smoothly assembled in the installation cavity. The box body bottom wall of the lower box body is constructed as a cavity bottom wall, and the heat dissipation structure is penetrated through the cavity bottom wall, so that another part of the heat dissipation structure can be located outside the box body, so that the other part of the heat dissipation structure located outside the box body can exchange heat with the external environment, which is conducive to the heat of the battery monomer being transferred to the outside of the box body through the heat dissipation structure, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the battery device.
[0024] In some embodiments, an outer surface of the cavity bottom wall is formed with a mounting groove recessed toward the cavity bottom wall, another portion of the heat dissipation structure is located in the mounting groove, and a height dimension of the other portion of the heat dissipation structure along the height direction of the battery device is less than or equal to a depth dimension of the mounting groove.
[0025] In the above technical solution, by making the height dimension of another part of the heat dissipation structure along the height direction of the battery device less than or equal to the depth dimension of the mounting groove, on the basis of ensuring that the heat dissipation structure does not protrude from the lowermost surface of the lower box body, it is beneficial to increase the setting area of the heat dissipation structure outside the box body, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0026] In some embodiments, the heat dissipation structure extends along a first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to a height direction of the battery device.
[0027] In the above technical solution, the heat dissipation structure extends along the first direction, so that the battery cell can reliably dissipate heat through the heat dissipation structure, thereby reducing the risk of local overheating of a battery cell due to the lack of abutment with the corresponding heat dissipation structure, or the risk of overheating of a battery cell due to the lack of abutment with the corresponding heat dissipation structure of any one of the multiple battery cells. This can make the temperatures of different parts of a battery cell and multiple battery cells consistent or approximately consistent, which is beneficial to improving the temperature uniformity of the battery device.
[0028] In some embodiments, there are multiple heat dissipation structures, which are arranged in sequence along the second direction, and two adjacent heat dissipation structures are spaced apart to divide the installation cavity into multiple installation spaces, and battery cells are installed in the installation spaces. The first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the battery device are perpendicular to each other.
[0029] In the above technical solution, the heat dissipation structures are arranged in sequence along the second direction, and two adjacent heat dissipation structures are spaced apart to divide the installation cavity into multiple installation spaces. Battery cells are installed in the installation spaces, so that at least one side of any battery cell along the second direction can be abutted by the heat dissipation structure, so that any battery cell can reliably exchange heat with the heat dissipation structure, reducing the risk of overheating of any battery cell among the multiple battery cells, and then making the temperatures of the multiple battery cells consistent or approximately consistent, which is conducive to further improving the temperature uniformity of the battery device.
[0030] In some embodiments, the plurality of heat dissipation structures are parallel to each other.
[0031] In the above technical solution, multiple heat dissipation structures are parallel to each other, which can increase the contact area between the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell, which is conducive to close contact between the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell, thereby reducing the thermal resistance between the heat dissipation structure and the battery cell, so that the heat of the battery cell can be transferred to the heat dissipation structure more quickly, and it is also conducive to achieving the effect of uniform heat dissipation at different positions of the battery device, reducing the risk of local overheating of the battery device, thereby extending the service life of the battery device. In addition, the heat dissipation structure can serve as a reinforcement structure for the box body, reducing the risk of deformation or even cracking of the box body, thereby improving the reliability of the battery device.
[0032] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides an electrical device, comprising the above-mentioned battery device.
[0033] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a box body of a battery device, comprising: the box body defines an installation cavity for installing a battery cell, the box body is provided with a heat dissipation structure, part of the heat dissipation structure is located in the installation cavity, and another part of the heat dissipation structure is located outside the box body.

[0070] In the related art, a water cooling plate is provided between adjacent battery cells in a battery device, and a coolant can flow inside the water cooling plate, exchanging heat with the battery cells through the water cooling plate, so that the coolant in the water cooling plate takes away the heat of the battery device.

[0074] For the convenience of description, the following embodiments are described by taking a vehicle 1000 as an example of an electrical device in an embodiment of the present application.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a vehicle 1000 provided for some embodiments of the present application. The vehicle 1000 may be a fuel vehicle, a gas vehicle or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle may be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle or an extended-range vehicle, etc. A battery device 100 is provided inside the vehicle 1000, and the battery device 100 may be provided at the bottom, head or tail of the vehicle 1000.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the battery device 100 can not only serve as an operating power source for the vehicle 1000, but also serve as a driving power source for the vehicle 1000, replacing or partially replacing fuel or natural gas to provide driving power for the vehicle 1000.
[0077] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 7 A battery device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.
[0078] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the battery device 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a box body 1 and a battery cell 2, wherein the battery cell 2 is arranged in the box body 1; a heat dissipation structure 3, wherein the heat dissipation structure 3 is fixed to the box body 1, a part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located in the box body 1 and cooperates with the battery cell 2 for heat exchange, and another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located outside the box body 1. The heat dissipation structure 3 is integrally formed with the box body 1.
[0079] Among them, the box body 1 can provide an assembly space for the battery cell 2, and the battery device 100 may include a plurality of battery cells 2, and the plurality of battery cells 2 are all arranged in the box body 1, so that the plurality of battery cells 2 can work stably in the box body 1. The plurality of battery cells 2 can be connected in series, in parallel, or in mixed connection, and mixed connection means that the plurality of battery cells 2 are both connected in series and in parallel. The plurality of battery cells 2 can be directly connected in series, in parallel, or in mixed connection, and then the whole formed by the plurality of battery cells 2 is accommodated in the box body 1. Of course, the battery can also be a battery module formed by first connecting a plurality of battery cells 2 in series, in parallel, or in mixed connection, and then the plurality of battery modules are connected in series, in parallel, or in mixed connection to form a whole, and accommodated in the box body 1. The battery device 100 may also include other structures. For example, the battery device 100 may also include a busbar component for realizing electrical connection between the plurality of battery cells 2.
[0080] As some embodiments of the present application, the heat dissipation structure 3 can be constructed of metal materials, such as copper, stainless steel, etc., so that the heat dissipation structure 3 has good heat dissipation efficiency. As some embodiments of the present application, the heat dissipation structure 3 can be constructed of composite materials, such as graphene, carbon fiber, etc., so that the heat dissipation structure 3 has good thermal conductivity, which is also conducive to the lightweight design of the battery device 100.
[0081] As some embodiments of the present application, the heat dissipation structure 3 and the housing 1 can be integrally formed so that the heat dissipation structure 3 is fixed to the housing 1. As some embodiments of the present application, the heat dissipation structure 3 and the housing 1 can be connected by snapping so that the heat dissipation structure 3 is fixed to the housing 1. However, the present application is not limited thereto, and the heat dissipation structure 3 and the housing 1 can also be fixedly connected by other means, as long as the heat dissipation structure 3 is fixed to the housing 1.
[0082] Part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located in the assembly space of the housing 1 (i.e., the enclosed space in the above embodiment), and the part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located in the assembly space can cooperate with the battery cell 2 in heat exchange, so that the heat of the battery cell 2 can be transferred to the heat dissipation structure 3. Another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located outside the housing 1, and the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 refers to the part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located outside the housing 1, so that the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located outside the housing 1 can exchange heat with the external environment. The heat dissipation structure 3 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the battery device 100 and improving the assembly efficiency of the battery device 100.
[0083] Specifically, when the battery device 100 is working, the heat generated by the battery cell 2 is transferred to the part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located in the assembly space. Since the heat dissipation structure 3 has good thermal conductivity, the heat transferred from the battery cell 2 to the heat dissipation structure 3 can spread to the entire heat dissipation structure 3 and be transferred to the environment through another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located outside the box 1, thereby achieving the effect that the heat of the battery cell 2 can be dissipated through the heat dissipation structure 3, which is beneficial for the battery device 100 to work within an appropriate temperature range, thereby improving the safety and service life of the battery device 100.
[0084] In the above technical solution, part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is arranged inside the box body 1 to cooperate with the battery cell 2 for heat exchange, and the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is arranged outside the box body 1 to exchange heat with the external environment. The heat of the battery cell 2 can be transferred to the outside of the box body 1 through the heat dissipation structure 3, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the battery device 100. In addition, the heat dissipation structure 3 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the battery device 100 and improving the assembly efficiency of the battery device 100. In addition, it can also effectively solve the problem of coolant leakage, thereby effectively improving the safety and service life of the battery device 100.
[0085] According to some embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located below the box body 1 .
[0086] Among them, along the height direction of the battery device 100, another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located below the box body 1, and the box body 1 has an upper surface and a lower surface. Further, another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located below the lower surface. Such an arrangement can make the arrangement of the heat dissipation structure 3 reasonable. When the battery device 100 is assembled on the vehicle 1000, the upper surface of the box body 1 is usually assembled toward the vehicle 1000. By locating another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 below the box body 1, the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 can be arranged away from the chassis of the vehicle 1000, thereby reducing the risk of heat from other components on the chassis (for example: engine, exhaust pipe, etc.) being transferred to the heat dissipation structure 3, thereby reducing the risk of heat dissipation failure of the battery device 100 or even explosion of the battery device 100 due to excessive temperature.
[0087] When the vehicle 1000 is traveling, airflow is generated around the portion of the heat dissipation structure 3 located below the box body 1. The heat of the heat dissipation structure 3 can be taken away by air cooling, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation structure 3. Furthermore, by locating another portion of the heat dissipation structure 3 below the box body 1, the risk of airflow being blocked by other components on the chassis of the vehicle 1000 can be reduced, thereby helping to improve the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 3, helping the battery device 100 to operate within a suitable temperature range, and further improving the safety and service life of the battery device 100.

As some embodiments of the present application, the heat dissipation structure 3 can be constructed as a metal part made of stainless steel. By constructing the heat dissipation structure 3 as a metal part, the heat dissipation structure 3 can have a higher thermal conductivity, which is beneficial for the heat of the battery cell 2 to be quickly transferred to the heat dissipation structure 3, and quickly spread to the entire heat dissipation structure 3, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the battery cell 2 and the heat dissipation structure 3. Furthermore, the metal parts have good processing performance, which is beneficial for the heat dissipation structure 3 to be processed into a shape that is compatible with the battery cell 2 according to the shape and arrangement of the battery cell 2, so that the heat dissipation structure 3 can better meet the heat dissipation requirements of the battery device 100.

The bottom wall of the lower box body 12 is configured as a cavity bottom wall, and the heat dissipation structure 3 is penetrated through the bottom wall of the box body, so that another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 can be located outside the box body 1, so that the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located outside the box body 1 can exchange heat with the external environment, which is conducive to the heat of the battery cell 2 being transferred to the outside of the box body 1 through the heat dissipation structure 3, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the battery device 100.
[0113] In the above technical solution, the box body 1 includes an upper box body and a lower box body 12, which are connected to define an installation cavity 11. The battery cell 2 is assembled to the lower box body 12 through the open side of the lower box body 12, and the upper box body is covered on the open side of the lower box body 12, so that the battery cell 2 can be smoothly assembled to the installation cavity 11. The box body bottom wall of the lower box body 12 is constructed as a cavity bottom wall, and the heat dissipation structure 3 is penetrated through the cavity bottom wall, so that another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 can be located outside the box body 1, so that the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located outside the box body 1 can exchange heat with the external environment, which is conducive to the heat of the battery cell 2 being transferred to the outside of the box body 1 through the heat dissipation structure 3, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the battery device 100.

Along the height direction of the battery device 100, the height dimension of the part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located outside the box body 1 is less than or equal to the depth dimension of the mounting groove 13. This application takes the example that the height dimension of the part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located outside the box body 1 is equal to the depth dimension of the mounting groove 13 for explanation.

The heat dissipation structure 3 is fixed to the box body 1, and part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located in the box body 1 and cooperates with the battery cell 2 for heat exchange, and another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located outside the box body 1 and another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is located below the box body 1, so that the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 can be arranged away from the chassis of the vehicle 1000, thereby reducing the risk of heat transfer from other components on the chassis (such as: engine, exhaust pipe, etc.) to the heat dissipation structure 3, thereby reducing the risk of heat dissipation failure of the battery device 100 or even the risk of explosion due to excessive temperature of the battery device 100.
[0136] The heat dissipation structure 3 and the housing 1 are integrally formed, which improves the connection reliability of the heat dissipation structure 3 and the housing 1, and can reduce the probability of fracture at the connection between the heat dissipation structure 3 and the housing 1, thereby improving the structural reliability of the battery device 100, and can also reduce the production molds and production processes in the production process of the battery device 100, thereby reducing the production cost of the battery device 100, and is also conducive to improving the production efficiency of the battery device 100. The heat dissipation structure 3 and the battery cell 2 are abutted, and further, the heat dissipation structure 3 and the side wall of the battery cell 2 are abutted, reducing the heat transfer path of the heat dissipation structure 3 and the battery cell 2, thereby reducing the thermal resistance between the heat dissipation structure 3 and the battery cell 2, which is conducive to the heat generated by the battery cell 2 can be quickly transferred to the heat dissipation structure 3, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat dissipation structure 3 and the battery cell 2, reducing the risk of heat accumulation in the battery cell 2 due to slow heat exchange efficiency, and then reducing the risk of damage to the battery cell 2 due to the continuous increase in the temperature of the battery cell 2, which is conducive to improving the service life of the battery cell 2.
[0137] The heat dissipation structure 3 is a metal part and the heat dissipation structure 3 is a plate-like structure, so that the thickness of the heat dissipation structure 3 can be relatively small, which is conducive to the heat dissipation structure 3 being smoothly assembled in the gap between two adjacent battery cells 2. Furthermore, the thickness of the heat dissipation structure 3 can be adjusted according to the distance between the battery cells 2 of different battery devices 100, so that the heat dissipation structure 3 can be adapted to different battery devices 100, thereby improving the versatility of the heat dissipation structure 3. The heat dissipation structure 3 is a metal part, which can make the heat dissipation structure 3 have a higher thermal conductivity, which is conducive to the heat of the battery cell 2 being quickly transferred to the part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located in the box 1, and quickly spread to the entire heat dissipation structure 3, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the battery cell 2 and the heat dissipation structure 3. It is also conducive to the heat dissipation structure 3 being processed into a shape adapted to the battery cell 2 according to the shape and arrangement of the battery cell 2, so that the heat dissipation structure 3 can better meet the heat dissipation requirements of the battery device 100.
[0138] The box body 1 defines an installation cavity 11, the battery cell 2 is arranged in the installation cavity 11, and the heat dissipation structure 3 is arranged through the cavity bottom wall of the installation cavity 11. The box body 1 includes an upper box body and a lower box body 12, the upper box body and the lower box body 12 are connected to define the installation cavity 11, and the bottom wall of the box body 1 of the lower box body 12 is configured as a cavity bottom wall. By assembling the battery cell 2 to the lower box body 12 through the open side of the lower box body 12, and closing the upper box body on the open side of the lower box body 12, the battery cell 2 can be smoothly assembled in the installation cavity 11. The bottom wall of the box body 1 of the lower box body 12 is configured as a cavity bottom wall, and by the heat dissipation structure 3 being arranged through the cavity bottom wall, another part of the heat dissipation structure 3 can be located outside the box body 1, so that the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 located outside the box body 1 can exchange heat with the external environment, which is conducive to the heat of the battery cell 2 being transferred to the outside of the box body 1 through the heat dissipation structure 3, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the battery device 100.
[0139] The heat dissipation structure 3 extends along the first direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the battery device 100. There are multiple heat dissipation structures 3, and the multiple heat dissipation structures 3 are arranged in sequence along the second direction, and two adjacent heat dissipation structures 3 are spaced apart to divide the installation cavity 11 into multiple installation spaces 111, and the installation spaces 111 are installed with battery cells 2. The first direction, the second direction and the height direction of the battery device 100 are perpendicular to each other. The multiple heat dissipation structures 3 are parallel to each other, so that the battery cells 2 can reliably dissipate heat through the heat dissipation structures 3, reducing the risk of local overheating of a battery cell 2 due to the lack of contact with the corresponding heat dissipation structure 3, or the risk of overheating of a battery cell 2 due to the lack of contact with the corresponding heat dissipation structure 3 by any one of the multiple battery cells 2, thereby making the temperatures of different parts of a battery cell 2 and multiple battery cells 2 consistent or approximately consistent, which is conducive to improving the temperature uniformity of the battery device 100.
[0140] In the above technical solution, part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is arranged inside the box body 1 to cooperate with the battery cell 2 for heat exchange, and the other part of the heat dissipation structure 3 is arranged outside the box body 1 to exchange heat with the external environment. The heat of the battery cell 2 can be transferred to the outside of the box body 1 through the heat dissipation structure 3, thereby achieving the heat dissipation effect of the battery device 100. In addition, the heat dissipation structure 3 has a simple structure and is easy to assemble, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the battery device 100 and improving the assembly efficiency of the battery device 100. In addition, it can also effectively solve the problem of coolant leakage, thereby effectively improving the safety and service life of the battery device 100.
