[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling structures, in particular to a battery pack cooling structure. Background Art

[0002] A battery pack is a power system composed of multiple battery cells and battery modules, which is used to provide electrical energy. Battery packs have many applications, and can be used as the main energy storage device for electric vehicles, as well as as energy storage devices for solar and wind power generation systems. Battery packs are used to store excess electricity and release it when needed, providing a stable power supply, etc.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The utility model draws cold water in the cold water tank into the heat exchange tube through the operation of the pump body. The operation of the battery pack body generates heat, which causes the temperature inside the enclosure to rise.

The cold water in the heat exchange tube takes away the heat. Under the conveying action of the pump body, the cold water returns to the cold water tank along the return pipe. The refrigeration plate ensures the low temperature effect of the cold water, thereby realizing circulating cooling, meeting the cooling demand of the battery pack, avoiding heat accumulation that reduces the service life of the battery pack, and ensuring the safe use of the battery pack.
