Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of cylindrical battery module-free battery integration, and in particular relates to a module-free cylindrical battery integration device. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of light weight, large energy storage, high power, no pollution, long life, small self-discharge coefficient, and wide temperature adaptability. Therefore, they are gradually favored by people and are gradually replacing other traditional batteries in the field of energy storage and power batteries.
[0003] For sheet metal battery cases, they are generally formed by stamping steel plates, which has the advantage of low cost. The disadvantage is that the structural rigidity is low. The structural rigidity is generally increased by adding longitudinal and transverse beams, but the batteries are arranged in the space between the longitudinal and transverse beams. The battery vibration here is still relatively severe, the rigidity is insufficient, and long-term vibration can easily cause system damage. Since the sheet metal case does not have a certain bottom thickness like the aluminum case, the battery is very easy to be squeezed and damaged in the bottom ball impact test, which is dangerous. For cylindrical batteries, the traditional thermal management method is generally through the cylindrical surface heat conduction of the traditional serpentine tube thermal management component. This thermal management method has the disadvantages of complex structure, low thermal conductivity efficiency (for large cylindrical batteries) and high cost. Utility Model Content
