DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0056] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0057] In the present disclosure, it should be understood that the directional words used, such as "upper" and "lower", are usually defined in terms of the drawing direction of the corresponding drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, specific orientation structure and operation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present disclosure. The terms "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside of the corresponding structural contour. "First direction" and "second direction" can be referred to in Figure 2 In addition, it should be noted that the terms such as "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish one element from another element and do not have order and importance. In addition, in the description with reference to the drawings, the same mark in different drawings represents the same element.

[0058] In the description of the present disclosure, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "connect", "connected", and "installed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present disclosure can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0059] As customers' requirements for charging time become shorter and shorter, the battery pack charging rate becomes higher and higher, the charging current becomes higher and higher, and the heat generated by the battery cell becomes larger and larger. The battery cell does not generate heat evenly when charging and discharging. The applicant's research found that the heat generated by the battery cell tab is higher than the heat generated by the middle of the battery cell, and the greater the current, the greater the difference in heat generation. This uneven heating of the battery cell makes the battery cell tab end and the middle of the battery cell have different requirements for the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchange plate. The battery cell tab area requires a high heat exchange capacity of the cold plate, and the middle area of ​​the battery cell requires a low heat exchange capacity of the cold plate. However, in the related art, the thermal management device in the battery pack cannot exchange heat for the main body of the battery cell and the tab of the battery cell in the battery cell unit separately, and the battery cell unit is prone to uneven temperature.

[0060] In view of this, if Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present disclosure, a flow channel plate 31 is provided, and the flow channel plate 31 is provided with an independent first flow channel area 311 and a second flow channel area 312, and the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 are both provided with flow channels 313, and the first flow channel area 311 is suitable for at least partially corresponding to the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 to exchange heat with the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021, and the second flow channel area 312 is suitable for at least partially corresponding to the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021 to exchange heat with the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021.

[0061] First, it should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the specific heat exchange type of the flow channel plate 31 . The flow channel plate 31 can be used to dissipate heat and cool the battery cell 1021 , and can also be used to heat and increase the temperature of the battery cell 1021 .

[0062] The present disclosure does not limit the number of the battery cells 1021, which can be any suitable number. When the number of the battery cells 1021 is multiple, the multiple battery cells 1021 can be constructed as follows: Figure 1 The battery cell 102. Figure 1 ,exist Figure 1 In the battery pack 100 shown, the battery cell unit 102 may include a plurality of battery groups 23 , and the plurality of battery groups 23 may respectively consist of a plurality of battery cells 1021 . The flow channel plate 31 may be attached to the plurality of battery cells 1021 , thereby achieving heat exchange with the battery cells 1021 .

[0063] When the above-mentioned flow channel plate 31 is used for heat exchange of the battery pack 100, since the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 are both provided with the flow channel 313, by fitting the flow channel plate 31 to the battery cell 1021 and passing the heat exchange medium into the flow channel 313, the heat exchange medium can exchange heat with the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 and the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021 during the process of flowing through the flow channel 313 of the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312, thereby achieving heat exchange with the battery cell 1021.

[0064] Here, it should be noted that the tab end 22 of the above-mentioned battery cell 1021 can be the area where the tab of the battery cell 1021 corresponds to the battery cell 1021, or the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 can be the area where the tab of the battery cell 1021 corresponds to the battery cell 1021 and the metal conductor used to lead the positive and negative electrodes from the battery cell 1021, and the tab end 22 can be located on both sides or one side of the battery cell 1021. The main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 can refer to the part of the battery cell 1021 except the area corresponding to the tab end 22. For example, for a battery cell 1021 with tab ends on both sides, the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 can refer to the part located between the tab ends 22 at both ends of the battery cell 1021. In addition, in the battery pack 100 of the present disclosure, the battery cell unit 102 may include a single or multiple battery groups 23, such as Figure 1 As shown, the battery cell unit 102 may include four battery packs 23 , and each battery pack 23 may include any appropriate number of battery cells 1021 .

[0065] Through the above technical solution, since the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 are independent of each other, and the first flow channel area 311 corresponds to the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 at least partially, and the second flow channel area 312 corresponds to the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021 at least partially, that is, the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 can respectively exchange heat with the main body 21 and the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021. In other words, by reasonably designing or adjusting the exchange of the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 The thermal capacity enables the flow channel plate 31 to have different heat exchange capacities for the main body 21 and the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021, thereby meeting the different heat exchange requirements of the main body 21 and the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021, and effectively avoiding the situation where the thermal management device cannot achieve separate control of the heat exchange of the main body 21 and the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021, and the battery cell 1021 is prone to temperature unevenness, resulting in uneven charging and discharging of the battery cell 1021, affecting the normal use of the battery cell 1021 or the battery pack 100.

[0066] For example, when the battery cell 1021 in the battery pack 100 needs to dissipate heat, since the heat generated at the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 is greater than the heat generated at the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021, the heat exchange demand at the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 is greater than the heat exchange demand at the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021. At this time, the second flow channel area 312 can have a stronger heat exchange capacity (such as the second flow channel area 312 has more flow channels 313, or the flow channels 313 in the second flow channel area 312 are filled with a refrigerant with higher heat exchange capacity, etc.), so that the temperatures of the main body 21 and the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 after heat dissipation through the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 respectively are similar, and there will be no large temperature difference between the main body 21 and the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021.

[0067] The present disclosure does not limit the specific method of how to make the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 have different heat exchange capabilities. As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in a region of the same area, the total area of ​​the flow channels 313 in the second flow channel region 312 may be greater than the total area of ​​the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel region 311 .

[0068] Here, it should be noted that the total area of ​​the flow channels 313 in the second flow channel zone 312 can be greater than the total area of ​​the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel zone 311, which means that the sum of the areas of the inner walls of all the flow channels 313 in the second flow channel zone 312 is greater than the sum of the areas of the inner walls of all the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel zone 311.

[0069] In an area of ​​the same area, the flow channel 313 area with a larger flow channel area has a larger heat exchange area. In other words, the heat exchange capacity of the second flow channel area 312 with a larger flow channel area is greater than that of the first flow channel area 311. The heat exchange capacity of the second flow channel area 312 matches the higher heat exchange demand of the pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021. After heat exchange through the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 respectively, the temperatures of the main body 21 and the pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 are similar, and there will be no large temperature difference between the main body 21 and the pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021, which effectively avoids excessive temperature difference in the battery cell 1021, resulting in uneven charging and discharging of the battery cell 1021, and affecting the normal use of the battery cell 1021.

[0070] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 are both provided with a plurality of flow channels 313 , and the density of the flow channels 313 in the second flow channel area 312 is greater than the density of the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel area 311 , that is, in an area of ​​the same area, the second flow channel area 312 has a larger number of flow channels 313 . The second flow channel area 312 with a larger density has a stronger heat exchange capacity, so that the flow channel plate 31 has different heat exchange capacities for the main body 21 and the pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021. The heat exchange capacity of the second flow channel area 312 matches the higher heat exchange demand of the pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021. The temperatures of the main body 21 and the pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 after heat exchange through the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 are similar, and there will be no large temperature difference between the main body 21 and the pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021, which effectively avoids the situation where the temperature difference of the battery cell 1021 is too large, resulting in uneven charging and discharging of the battery cell 1021, and affecting the normal use of the battery cell 1021.

[0071] In addition, since the density of the flow channels 313 in the second flow channel area 312 is higher, even if there are more flow channels 313 in the second flow channel area 312, the second flow channel area 312 will not occupy too large an area on the flow channel plate 31, thereby increasing the overall size of the flow channel plate 31 and making the flow channel plate 31 more compact.

[0072] It can be understood that, in addition to making the flow channel density of the second flow channel zone 312 greater than the flow channel density of the second flow channel zone 312 within the same area, so as to achieve that the area of ​​the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel zone 312 is larger than the area of ​​the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel zone 311, in other embodiments of the present disclosure, the second flow channel zone 312 can have a flow channel with a larger cross-sectional area, so as to achieve that the area of ​​the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel zone 312 is larger than the area of ​​the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel zone 311.

[0073] As described above, the heat exchange demand of the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 is greater than the heat exchange demand of the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021. In order to further avoid the situation where the main body 21 and the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 are prone to uneven temperatures, as an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in the first flow channel area 311, in the first direction (such as the length direction of the battery cell 1021), the density of the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel area 311 gradually increases from the middle of the first flow channel area 311 to the two ends of the first flow channel area 311. When the flow channel plate 31 is assembled to the battery pack 100, the density of the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel area 311 can be gradually increased from the middle of the main body 21 of the battery cell in the battery cell unit 102 to the direction of the tab 22 of the battery cell, that is, from the middle of the battery cell to the end of the battery cell. In this way, within the first flow channel area 311, the closer to the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021, the denser the flow channel 313, and the stronger the heat exchange capacity of the first flow channel area 311. In this way, the first flow channel area 311 close to the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021 can also play an auxiliary heat exchange role for the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021, further improving the heat exchange capacity of the flow channel plate 31 at the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021 with higher heat exchange requirements, helping to further reduce the temperature difference between the main body of the battery cell 1021 and the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021, thereby reducing the temperature difference of the entire battery cell 1021.

[0074] The present disclosure does not limit the specific arrangement of the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312, as long as the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 can meet the heat exchange requirements of the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312. As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figures 2 to 4As shown, the first flow channel area 311 may include a plurality of first flow channel segments 3111 extending along the first direction, two adjacent first flow channel segments 3111 are arranged at intervals in the second direction, the plurality of first flow channel segments 3111 are connected, and the first direction intersects with the second direction, and the second flow channel area 312 may include a plurality of second flow channel segments 3121 extending along the first direction, two adjacent second flow channel segments 3121 are spaced apart in the second direction, and the plurality of second flow channel segments 3121 are connected, wherein, along the second direction, the spacing between two adjacent first flow channel segments 3111 is greater than the spacing between two adjacent second flow channel segments 3121.

[0075] Multiple second flow channel sections 3121 with smaller spacing make the density of the second flow channel sections 3121 higher. Compared with the first flow channel area 311, the second flow channel area 312 has a stronger heat exchange capacity, thereby meeting the different heat exchange requirements of the main body 21 and the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021 and reducing the temperature difference of the entire battery cell 1021.

[0076] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in the first flow channel area 311, in the first direction, the distance between two adjacent first flow channel sections 3111 gradually decreases from the middle of the first flow channel area 311 to the two ends of the first flow channel area 311. When the flow channel plate 31 is assembled to the battery pack 100, the distance between two adjacent first flow channel sections 3111 gradually decreases from the middle of the main body 21 of the battery cell in the battery cell unit 102 to the direction of the pole ear 22. In this way, within the first flow channel area 311, the closer to the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021, the denser the flow channel 313, and the stronger the heat exchange capacity of the first flow channel area 311. In this way, the first flow channel area 311 close to the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021 can also play an auxiliary heat exchange role for the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021, further improving the heat exchange capacity of the flow channel plate 31 at the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021 with higher heat exchange requirements, helping to further reduce the temperature difference between the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 and the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021, thereby reducing the temperature difference of the entire battery cell 1021.

[0077] For the battery cell unit 102 , it is also helpful to further reduce the temperature difference between the main body of the battery cell 1021 and the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 in the battery cell unit 102 , thereby reducing the temperature difference of the entire battery cell unit 102 .

[0078] For the battery pack 100, in order to achieve heat exchange of multiple battery cells 1021 in the entire battery pack 100, optionally, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple second flow channel areas 312 , the multiple second flow channel areas 312 are arranged at intervals, and a first flow channel area 311 is provided between two adjacent second flow channel areas 312 .

[0079] In this way, for an embodiment in which the battery cell unit 102 in the battery pack 100 includes multiple battery groups 23, the multiple second flow channel regions 312 can respectively exchange heat with the tab ends 22 of the battery cells 1021 of the multiple battery groups 23, and the first flow channel region 311 arranged between two adjacent second flow channel regions 312 can exchange heat with the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 of the battery group 23.

[0080] In addition, when there is only one battery group 23 in the battery pack 100, the number of the second flow channel areas 312 can be two, and the number of the first flow channel areas 311 can be one. The two second flow channel areas 312 can respectively exchange heat with the pole tab ends 22 of the battery cells 1021 on both sides of the battery group 23, and the first flow channel area 311 can exchange heat with the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 located between the pole tab ends 22 on both sides of the battery group 23.

[0081] For the embodiment in which the battery cell unit 102 includes four battery packs 23, and the four battery packs 23 are arranged at intervals along the first direction and the second direction, in order to achieve heat dissipation of the battery cell unit 102, optionally, the number of the second flow channel areas 312 is four, the number of the second flow channel areas 312 is two, the four second flow channel areas 312 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and a first flow channel area 311 is arranged between two adjacent second flow channel areas 312. The first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 are respectively arranged corresponding to the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 of the four battery packs 23 and the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021, so as to meet the different heat exchange requirements of the main body 21 and the pole lug end 22 of the battery cell 1021 in the battery cell unit 102.

[0082] For example, Figures 2 to 4As shown, the number of the second flow channel areas 312 is four, and the four second flow channel areas 312 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the battery cell unit 102. The four second flow channel areas 312 can cover the pole lug ends 22 of all the battery cells 1021 of the four battery groups 23, and the pole lug ends 22 of all the battery cells 1021 of the four battery groups 23 can exchange heat with the four second flow channel areas 312. The four second flow channel areas 312 can realize the cooling of the pole lug ends 22 of all the battery cells 1021 on the above-mentioned four battery groups 23. Since the second flow channel areas 312 can have a higher heat exchange capacity, for the heat dissipation of the battery cell unit 102, the pole lug ends of all the battery cells 1021 of the four battery groups 23 will be taken away by the second flow channel areas 312 More heat is taken away, thereby suppressing the high temperature at the pole lug ends 22 of the battery cells 1021, thereby reducing the overall temperature difference of the battery cell unit 102. There are two first flow channel areas 311 , which are also spaced apart along the first direction. The two first flow channel areas 311 can cover the main bodies 21 of all the battery cells 1021 of the four battery packs 23 , thereby cooling the main bodies 21 of all the battery cells 1021 on the four battery packs 23 .

[0083] In order to facilitate connecting the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 on the flow channel plate 31 with the heat exchange pipeline outside the battery pack 100, optionally, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the flow channel plate 31 is provided with a first inlet, a second inlet, and a second outlet. The first inlet is suitable for connecting to the inlet of the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311, the first inlet is suitable for connecting to the outlet of the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312, the second inlet is suitable for connecting to the inlet of the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312, and the second outlet is suitable for connecting to the outlet of the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311. The flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 on the flow channel plate 31 can be connected to the heat exchange pipeline outside the battery pack 100 through the first inlet and the second outlet, and the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 can be connected to the heat exchange pipeline outside the battery pack 100 through the second inlet and the first inlet, thereby realizing the control of the heat exchange medium in the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312.

[0084] In addition, since the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 respectively realize the control of the heat exchange medium through different inlets and outlets, when the battery cell 1021 needs to dissipate heat, if the temperature of the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 is lower than the cooling threshold, and the temperature of the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021 is higher than the cooling threshold, at this time, the heat exchange medium can be prevented from flowing to the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311, and the heat exchange medium only flows to the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312, and the second flow channel area 312 on the heat exchange plate exchanges heat with the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021, while the first flow channel area 311 on the heat exchange plate does not exchange heat with the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021, so that the temperature difference of the battery cell 1021 can be reduced while saving energy consumption.

[0085] The present disclosure does not limit the positions of the first inlet, the first outlet, the second inlet and the second outlet on the flow channel plate 31. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the first inlet, the first outlet, the second inlet and the second outlet are all located on the same side of the flow channel plate 31. The first inlet, the first outlet, the second inlet and the second outlet located on the same side are conveniently connected to the heat exchange pipeline outside the battery pack 100.

[0086] The present disclosure does not limit the specific formation method of the flow channels 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 on the flow channel plate 31. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the flow channel plate 31 located at the first flow channel area 311 has a first protrusion 318 , and the interior of the first protrusion 318 is suitable for constructing the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 .

[0087] The present disclosure does not limit the specific formation method of the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 on the flow channel plate 31. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the flow channel plate 31 located at the second flow channel area 312 has a second protrusion 319 , and the interior of the second protrusion 319 is suitable for constructing the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 .

[0088] According to the second aspect of the present disclosure, a heat exchange plate structure 103 is provided, including a joint unit 32 and the flow channel plate 31 as described above, wherein the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 are connected to the heat exchange pipeline outside the battery pack 100 through the joint unit 32. One end of the joint unit 32 is connected to the heat exchange management outside the battery pack 100, and the other end of the joint unit 32 is connected to the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 or the second flow channel area 312. The joint unit 32 can play a connecting role, thereby facilitating the connection of the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 to the heat exchange pipeline outside the battery pack 100.

[0089] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the joint unit 32 also includes a first joint 321 and a second joint 322, and the first joint 321 is provided with a first opening 3211 and a second opening 3212, and the flow channel plate 31 also includes a first connecting flow channel 3131 and a second connecting flow channel 3232, the first opening 3211 is connected to the inlet of the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 through the first connecting flow channel 3131, and the second opening 3212 is connected to the outlet of the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 through the second connecting flow channel 3232, and the second joint 322 is provided with a third opening 3221 and a fourth opening 3222, and the flow channel plate 31 also includes a third connecting flow channel 31333 and a fourth connecting flow channel 3134, the third opening 3221 is connected to the inlet of the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 through the third connecting flow channel 31333, and the fourth opening 3222 is connected to the outlet of the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 through the fourth connecting flow channel 3134.

[0090] In other words, the heat exchange medium in the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312 is controlled simultaneously by the two joint units 32, the inlet of the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the outlet of the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 are arranged side by side and adjacent, and the inlet of the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 and the outlet of the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 are arranged side by side and adjacent, so that the heat exchange medium flowing into the flow channel 313 of the first flow channel area 311 and the heat exchange medium flowing out of the flow channel 313 of the second flow channel area 312, The heat exchange medium in the flow channel 313 flowing into the second flow channel area 312 and the heat exchange medium in the flow channel 313 flowing out of the first flow channel area 311 can achieve heat exchange at the joint unit 32, so that the heat exchange medium flowing into or out of the flow channel plate 31 through the joint unit 32 will not be overcooled or overheated, and the temperature difference between the heat exchange medium flowing into and out of the flow channel plate 31 is reduced, effectively avoiding the situation where the temperature difference between the heat exchange medium flowing into and out of the flow channel plate 31 is large, which is easy to damage other equipment connected to the flow channel plate 31 (such as an air compressor, etc.).

[0091] The present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the first connector 321. As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5 As shown, the first joint 321 includes a first joint body 3213 and a first connecting plate 3214. The first connecting plate 3214 is installed on the flow channel plate 31. A plurality of connecting channels are formed in the first connecting plate 3214. The first joint body 3213 is provided with a first opening 3211 and a second opening 3212. The first opening 3211 is connected to the first connecting flow channel 3131 through the connecting channel in the first connecting plate 3214. The second opening 3212 is connected to the second connecting flow channel 3232 through the connecting channel in the first connecting plate 3214. The first connecting plate 3214 with a plurality of connecting channels can play a role in diverting the heat exchange medium flowing into the first flow channel area 311. The plurality of flow channels 313 in the first flow channel area 311 do not need to use a plurality of joint units 32. They can be connected to the heat exchange pipeline outside the battery pack 100 only through the first connecting plate 3214, which is conducive to simplifying the overall structure of the heat exchange plate.

[0092] The present disclosure does not limit the specific structure of the second connector 322. As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 5 As shown, the second joint 322 includes a second joint body 3223 and a second connecting plate 3224. The second connecting plate 3224 is installed on the flow channel plate 31. A plurality of connecting channels are formed in the second connecting plate 3224. A third opening 3221 and a fourth opening 3222 are provided on the second joint body 3223. The third opening 3221 is connected to the third connecting flow channel 3133 through the connecting channel in the second connecting plate 3224. The fourth opening 3222 is connected to the fourth connecting flow channel 3134 through the connecting channel in the second connecting plate 3224.

[0093] Similarly, the second connecting plate 3224 having multiple connecting channels can divert the heat exchange medium flowing into the second flow channel area 312. The multiple flow channels 313 in the second flow channel area 312 do not need to adopt multiple joint units 32. They can be connected to the heat exchange pipeline outside the battery pack 100 only through the second connecting plate 3224, which is conducive to simplifying the overall structure of the heat exchange plate.

[0094] In order to further reduce the temperature difference of the entire battery cell 1021, that is, the temperature difference between the main body 21 and the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021, optionally, as Figure 6As shown, the heat exchange plate structure 103 further includes a heat spreader 33, which is connected to the flow channel plate 31, and is suitable for being connected to the battery cell 1021. In the process of heat exchange between the heat exchange plate and the battery cell 1021, the heat spreader 33 can achieve uniform heat exchange between the battery cell 1021 and the heat exchange plate structure 103, further reducing the temperature difference between the main body of the battery cell 1021 and the pole ear end 22, thereby reducing the temperature difference of the entire battery cell 1021.

[0095] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure in which a temperature averaging plate 33 is additionally provided, the first inlet, the first outlet, the second inlet and the second outlet can all be provided on the temperature averaging plate 33 and connected to the flow channel 313 on the flow channel plate 31. In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure in which the temperature averaging plate 33 is not additionally provided, the first inlet, the first outlet, the second inlet and the second outlet can all be provided on the flow channel plate 31. Optionally, in this case, the flow channel plate 31 can be integrated with a plate body similar to the temperature averaging plate 33 described above.

[0096] The present disclosure does not limit the specific connection method between the heat spreader 33 and the battery cell 1021, as long as the heat spreader 33 can be connected to the battery cell 1021, and the heat spreader 33 can exchange heat with the battery cell 1021. As an embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat spreader 33 is connected to the battery cell 1021 through a thermal conductive adhesive 34. The thermal conductive adhesive 34 can not only connect the heat spreader 33 to the battery cell 1021, but also realize uniform heat exchange between the heat spreader 33 and the battery cell 1021, simplifying the connection structure between the heat spreader 33 and the battery cell 1021 while meeting the heat exchange requirements between the heat spreader 33 and the battery cell 1021.

[0097] According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a battery box 101 is provided, comprising the above-mentioned heat exchange plate structure 103;

[0098] The heat exchange plate structure 103 is disposed on the inner side of the bottom plate of the battery box 101, or the heat exchange plate structure 103 is configured as the bottom plate of the battery box 101 (a part of the bottom plate or a complete bottom plate). That is, the heat exchange plate structure 103 may belong to the bottom plate of the battery box 101, or may not belong to the bottom plate of the battery box 101. Alternatively, the heat exchange plate structure 103 is configured as the top cover of the battery box 101.

[0099] In the present disclosure, the battery case 101 may include a battery case and a top cover disposed at an upper end of the battery case.

[0100] According to a fourth aspect of the present disclosure, a battery pack 100 is provided, comprising a battery cell 1021 (battery cell unit 102) and a battery case 101 as described above, wherein the battery cell 1021 is disposed in a cavity defined by the battery case 101, the first flow channel region 311 at least partially corresponds to a main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 and exchanges heat with the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021, and the second flow channel region 312 at least partially corresponds to a pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 and exchanges heat with the pole tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021.

[0101] The battery pack 100 has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned heat exchange plate structure 103, which will not be described in detail here.

[0102] The present disclosure does not limit the connection relationship between the heat exchange plate structure 103 and the battery case 101. The heat exchange plate structure 103 can be a part of the battery case 101 or can be installed separately on the battery case 101. As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat exchange plate structure 103 is integrated on the battery case 101 by a stir friction welding process.

[0103] In order to facilitate the detection of the temperature in the battery pack 100 and improve the safety of the battery pack 100, the battery pack 100 may further include a first temperature sensor (not shown) and a second temperature sensor (not shown), wherein the first temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021, and the second temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021. Optionally, the first temperature sensor may be arranged on the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021, and the second temperature sensor may be arranged on the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021. The first temperature sensor can monitor the temperature of the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 and the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 in real time, effectively avoiding the situation where the tab end 22 of the battery cell 1021 or the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 is too high, resulting in damage to the battery pack 100 or even explosion.

[0104] In addition, the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor can also cooperate with the flow channel plate 31 to jointly realize the thermal management of the battery cell 1021. For example, when the battery cell 1021 needs to dissipate heat, if the temperature of the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021 is lower than the cooling threshold, and the temperature of the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell 1021 is higher than the cooling threshold, at this time, the heat exchange medium can be prevented from flowing to the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311, and the heat exchange medium only flows to the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312. The second flow channel area 312 on the heat exchange plate exchanges heat with the pole ear end 22 of the battery cell, while the first flow channel area 311 on the heat exchange plate does not exchange heat with the main body 21 of the battery cell. In this way, energy consumption can be saved while reducing the temperature difference of the battery cell 1021.

[0105] The present disclosure does not limit the specific type of the heat exchange medium filled in the flow channels 313 of the first flow channel area 311 and the second flow channel area 312. The heat exchange medium may be any heat exchange medium suitable for exchanging heat with the battery cell 1021. As an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the heat exchange medium may be R134 or R134A, etc.

[0106] According to the fifth aspect of the present disclosure, a battery system is provided, including a heat exchange medium and a battery pack as described above, wherein the heat exchange medium is suitable for flowing through the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312, and the flow direction of the heat exchange medium in the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 is opposite to the flow direction of the heat exchange medium in the flow channel in the second flow channel area 312. In this way, the heat exchange medium flowing into the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the heat exchange medium flowing out of the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312, and the heat exchange medium flowing out of the flow channel 313 in the first flow channel area 311 and the heat exchange medium flowing into the flow channel 313 in the second flow channel area 312 can also achieve heat exchange, further reducing the temperature difference between the tab end 22 and the main body 21 of the battery cell 1021.

[0107] According to a sixth aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an electrical device, comprising a device body and the battery system as described above or the battery pack 100 as described above, wherein the battery pack 100 is installed on the device body and is used to supply power to the device body.

[0108] In this way, the battery pack 100 can supply power to the main body of the device, thereby meeting the power demand of the power-consuming equipment. Here, the power-consuming equipment can be a vehicle, a mobile phone, a portable device, a laptop computer, a ship, a spacecraft, an electric toy, an electric tool, and the like. The vehicle can be a fuel vehicle, a gas vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, or an extended-range vehicle, and the like; the spacecraft includes an airplane, a rocket, a space shuttle, and a spacecraft, and the like; the electric toys include fixed or mobile electric toys, such as game consoles, electric car toys, electric ship toys, and electric airplane toys, and the like; the electric tools include metal cutting electric tools, grinding electric tools, assembly electric tools, and railway electric tools, such as electric drills, electric grinders, electric wrenches, electric screwdrivers, electric hammers, impact drills, concrete vibrators, and electric planers, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0109] For example, when the electrical device is a vehicle, the device body may be a motor of the vehicle, and the battery pack 100 may be installed on the body of the vehicle.

In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.
