[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3A three-dimensional new type of electrochemical energy storage battery pack liquid cooling device includes a base 1 and a liquid cooling cover plate 7. Liquid cooling plates 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the top of the base 1, and a liquid cooling plate 2 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the base 1. A liquid cooling thick tube 5 is fixedly connected inside the liquid cooling plate 2, and liquid cooling thin tubes 4 are fixedly connected to both ends of the liquid cooling thick tube 5. A plurality of plug-in blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the rear of the liquid cooling cover plate 7, a plurality of card slots 9 are provided inside the liquid cooling plate 2 3, a connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the front of the liquid cooling cover plate 7, and a fixed component is arranged on the outside of the liquid cooling plate 2.

[0033] Specifically, the operator connects the liquid cooling thin tube 4 to other pipes through the connecting flange 6, and the coolant flows in, first passing through the liquid cooling thin tube 4 on the left, then converging to the center of the left liquid cooling plate 1 2, and then entering the liquid cooling plate 2 3 along the liquid cooling thick tube 5. In the middle of the liquid cooling plate 2 3, the coolant will enter the middle side liquid cooling thick tube 5, then flow back to the right side liquid cooling thin tube 4, and continue to flow to the middle side of the right side liquid cooling plate 1 2. After passing through the liquid cooling thick tube 5, the flow rate slows down, so that it can fully absorb heat. This design helps to maintain the stability of the battery temperature, prevent the decline of energy conversion efficiency, premature aging of the battery and the risk of thermal runaway, and ensure the normal operation of the battery system.

[0034] Reference Figure 5 The fixed component includes a thin shell 15, the outer side of the thin shell 15 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the liquid cooling plate 2, the inner middle side of the thin shell 15 is slidably connected with a plug rod 12, one side of the outer side of the plug rod 12 is fixedly connected with a baffle 10, and the other side of the outer side of the plug rod 12 is provided with a spring 11, the upper part of the thin shell 15 is fixedly connected with a thin shell 2 13, and a blocking block 14 is provided on the top of the baffle 10.

[0035] Specifically, when disassembling, you only need to gently pull the plug rod 12, and the baffle 10 will slide outward. The spring 11 will be compressed in this process, prompting the blocking block 14 to slide into the thin shell 15, forming a resistance to prevent the baffle 10 from resetting. At this time, the plug rod 12 is separated from the connecting plate 8, and the disassembly task is successfully completed. In the installation process, first, ensure that the plug block 16 on the liquid cooling cover plate 7 is accurately aligned with the slot 9 in the liquid cooling plate 2 3, and then lift the blocking block 14 to make it withdraw from the thin shell 15. With the help of the restoring force of the spring 11, the baffle 10 will automatically move inward, and the plug rod 12 will then be re-embedded in the connecting plate 8, and the entire installation process is completed.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 - Figure 5One end of the liquid-cooling thin tube 4 is fixedly connected with a flange 6, the inside of the liquid-cooling plate 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the liquid-cooling thin tube 4, the inside of the liquid-cooling plate 2 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the middle part of the liquid-cooling thin tube 4, the middle side of the inside of the liquid-cooling plate 2 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the liquid-cooling thick tubes 5, the outside of the plug-in block 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the slot 9, one end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the baffle 10, and the other end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the thin shell 15, the plug-in rod 12 passes through the liquid-cooling plate 2 and is plugged into the inside of the connecting plate 8, the outside of the baffle 10 is slidably connected to the inside of the thin shell 15, the upper side of the blocking block 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the thin shell 2 13, and the lower side of the blocking block 14 is slidably connected to the inside of the thin shell 15.

[0037] Specifically, the flange 6 is connected to other pipes to input and output the coolant, and the liquid cooling plate 2 is tightly combined with the outer side of the liquid cooling thin tube 4 to form a part of the cooling channel. The liquid cooling plate 2 3 is outside the middle of the liquid cooling thin tube 4, and the liquid cooling thick tube 5 is connected to the inner side of the liquid cooling plate 2 3 to further enhance the cooling effect. The plug-in block 16 cooperates with the slot 9 to ensure that it can be firmly locked during the installation process and enhance the stability of the structure. The spring 11 is a key balancing element, one end of which is fixed to the middle of the baffle 10 and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the thin shell 15 to ensure that the baffle 10 can move appropriately when needed and provide the necessary pressure. The plug-in rod 12 passes through the liquid cooling plate 2 and is firmly inserted into the connecting plate 8 to form an integral structure. The sliding connection between the outer side of the baffle 10 and the thin shell 15 allows it to be adjusted under the action of the spring 11 to adapt to changes in installation and disassembly. The blocking block 14 slides up and down between the thin shell 15 and the thin shell 2 13 to provide support and prevent excessive movement, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire system.

[0038] Working principle: the operator connects the flange 6 and other pipes, and inputs the coolant into the liquid-cooling capillary 4 connected to the left flange 6. When the coolant enters the middle of the left liquid-cooling plate 1 2, it will pass through the left liquid-cooling thick pipe 5, and then pass through the liquid-cooling capillary 4 to enter the liquid-cooling plate 2 3. When it reaches the middle of the liquid-cooling plate 2 3, the coolant will enter the liquid-cooling thick pipe 5 on the middle side, and then enter the liquid-cooling capillary 4. When it enters the middle side of the right liquid-cooling plate 1 2, the coolant will enter the liquid-cooling thick pipe 5 on the right, and finally come out through the right liquid-cooling capillary 4. One end of the right liquid-cooling capillary 4 is connected to other pipes by flange 6 to transport the coolant. When the coolant passes through the liquid-cooling capillary 4, the flow rate will be fast, and when it enters the liquid-cooling thick pipe 5, the flow rate will slow down, thereby allowing the coolant to absorb more heat. , to avoid the reduction of battery energy conversion efficiency, accelerated battery aging, and thermal runaway failure of the battery. When the device needs to be disassembled, pull the plug rod 12 to move the baffle 10 outward, and then compress the spring 11, so that the blocking block 14 slides into the thin shell 15 to prevent the baffle 10 from moving inward. At this time, the plug rod 12 is separated from the inside of the connecting plate 8, and the disassembly is completed. When installation is required, align the plug block 16 on the liquid cooling cover plate 7 with the slot 9 inside the liquid cooling plate 2 3 and insert it, and then pull the blocking block 14 upward. At this time, the blocking block 14 leaves the thin shell 15, and the baffle 10 moves inward under the push of the elastic force of the spring 11, and then the plug rod 12 is reinserted into the inside of the connecting plate 8, and the installation is completed.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
