[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal management, in particular to a thermal management component and a container. Background Art

[0002] In some sealed containers, it is usually necessary to adjust the temperature in the container to ensure the performance of the sealed container. For example, during the hydrogen filling and degassing process of a solid-state hydrogen storage pressure vessel, heat changes will occur due to the chemical reaction between the solid-state hydrogen storage alloy and hydrogen, which will inhibit the hydrogen filling and degassing process, seriously affecting the efficiency of the hydrogen filling and degassing process, and will also affect the storage and release of hydrogen. Therefore, a thermal management component that can adjust the temperature in the container is needed to solve the above problems.

[0003] In some large containers, in order to achieve better thermal management effects, the thermal management components will also have correspondingly larger sizes and weights, which will cause the thermal management components to generate larger bending moments under the action of their own weight, easily leading to fatigue damage at the connection between the thermal management components and the container, thus shortening the service life.

[0044] See also Figures 7 to 9The heat exchange medium inlet pipe 310 and the heat exchange medium outlet pipe 320 both pass through the first end wall 110 and / or the second end wall 120. The heat exchange pipe 330 connects one end of the heat exchange medium inlet pipe 310 located in the cavity 140 and one end of the heat exchange medium outlet pipe 320 located in the cavity 140. The temperature in the cavity 140 is adjusted by injecting heat exchange medium into the heat exchange pipe 330. The heat exchange medium can be water, heat transfer oil, coolant or other heat exchange medium with excellent performance. Specifically, one of the heat exchange medium inlet pipe 310 and the heat exchange medium outlet pipe 320 can pass through the first end wall 110, and the other can pass through the second end wall 120, and the heat exchange medium flows in the direction from the first end wall 110 to the second end wall 120, or flows in the opposite direction; or the heat exchange medium inlet pipe 310 and the heat exchange medium outlet pipe 320 can only pass through one of the first end wall 110 and the second end wall 120, and the heat exchange medium enters from the first end wall 110 or the second end wall 120, flows in the cavity 140 for a circle, and then flows out from the first end wall 110 or the second end wall 120. In both of the above methods, the heat exchange tube 330 can be used for heat exchange with the gas in the cavity 140 to achieve temperature regulation in the cavity 140, and the temperature of the hydrogen charging exothermic process and the hydrogen decompression endothermic process is regulated, so that the hydrogen charging and decompression processes can be stably operated at a suitable temperature, which can improve the efficiency of the hydrogen charging and decompression processes and increase the storage and release amount of hydrogen.

The shape and number of the slide rail 348 are not limited and may be a plate, round steel or other profiles. The number of the slide rails 348 may be 1, 2, 3 or more, as long as the sliding connection between the slide rail 348 and the heat exchange tube support device 340 can be achieved. Considering the cost and heat exchange efficiency issues, in this embodiment, the slide rail 348 is made of round steel, the axis of the round steel is parallel to the axis of the tank body 100, and the number of the slide rails 348 is 2, and the 2 slide rails 348 are respectively located at On both sides of the lowermost part of the side wall 130, preferably, the central angle between the two slide rails 348 is less than or equal to 40°. The setting of the slide rail 348 can provide a better supporting effect on the heat exchange tube support device 340 on the one hand. On the other hand, since the slide rail 348 and the heat exchange tube support device 340 are in line contact, the friction of the heat exchange tube support device 340 on the container wall during the installation of the thermal management component 300 is reduced, as well as the friction of the heat exchange tube support device 340 on the container wall when the heat exchange tube 330 expands and contracts and drives the heat exchange tube support device 340 to move, which saves manpower and reduces the probability of wear between the container wall and the heat exchange tube support device 340.
