[0034] The present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the relevant utility model, rather than limiting the utility model. In addition, it should be noted that for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the drawings.

[0035] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0036] At least refer to Figures 1 - 8 As shown, an example of the present utility model provides a battery assembly 100, which includes: a plurality of battery cooling units 10 arranged side by side.

[0037] The battery cooling unit 10 includes: a battery cell 11 and a heat conducting member, and the battery cell 11 is provided with a through hole.

[0038] Wherein, as Figure 1 shown, the battery cell 11 includes an outer housing 1101, an inner housing (not shown due to occlusion), an upper annular cover plate 1102 and a lower annular cover plate 1103. Both the outer housing 1101 and the inner housing are cylindrical, and the through hole of the inner housing is the above-mentioned through hole. The diameter of the outer housing 1101 is larger than that of the inner housing, that is, the battery cell 11 as a whole forms an annular structure. The inner housing is coaxially arranged inside the outer housing 1101 and defines a winding core chamber with the outer housing 1101. The upper annular cover plate 1102 covers the upper opening of the winding core chamber, and the lower annular cover plate 1103 covers the lower opening of the winding core chamber. Among them, the winding core (not shown due to occlusion) is arranged in the winding core chamber.

[0039] Of course, it can be understood that the formation method of the through hole of the battery cell 11 can also include other methods, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0040] One end of the heat conducting member passes through the through hole of the battery cell 11, so that the heat generated by the winding core of the battery cell 11 can be transferred to the external environment through the heat conducting member to reduce the temperature of the battery cell 11.

[0041] Wherein, the heat conducting member and the through hole can be connected by insertion, bonding, welding,......

[0042] Among the plurality of battery cooling units 10, at least two of them exist and are adjacent to each other, and the heat conducting members between the two are flexibly connected.

[0043] The heat conducting member can be a heat conducting tube 12 or a heat conducting column. The following embodiments will be described with the heat conducting member being the heat conducting tube 12:

[0044] The flexible connection can be understood as that one heat conduction tube 12 and another heat conduction tube 12 are connected through a hose 20. The hose 20 includes a plastic hose, a rubber hose and a metal hose. The metal hose can be a corrosion-resistant corrugated hose or a corrosion-resistant plastic-coated hose.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a battery assembly 100 includes six battery cooling units 10: a first battery cooling unit 10a to a sixth battery cooling unit 10f. The first battery cooling unit 10a to the sixth battery cooling unit 10f are arranged side by side in the left-to-right direction. It can be understood that in other embodiments, a single battery assembly 100 may also include 4, 7, 8, etc. battery cooling units 10, which are determined according to the actual battery capacity and are not limited herein.

[0046] Among them, the heat conduction tubes 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c are flexibly connected through a corrugated hose.

[0047] The heat conduction tubes 12 of the first battery cooling unit 10a and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b are rigidly connected. The rigid connection can be a threaded connection, an insertion connection, a snap connection, or other connection methods between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the first battery cooling unit 10a and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b.

[0048] The heat conduction tubes 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fourth battery cooling unit 10d are rigidly connected; the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fourth battery cooling unit 10d and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fifth battery cooling unit 10e are rigidly connected; the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fifth battery cooling unit 10e and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the sixth battery cooling unit 10f are rigidly connected. The heat of the coolant flowing in the heat conduction tube 12 and the heat generated by the core of each battery cooling unit 10 are transferred to the external environment, thereby improving the problem of temperature rise in the middle during battery charging or discharging.

[0049] When the first battery cooling unit 10a in the battery assembly 100 generates a displacement in the left-right direction, the first battery cooling unit 10a moves to the right, so that the first battery cooling unit 10a drives the second battery unit to move to the right. Since the heat conduction tubes 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c are flexibly connected through a corrugated hose, the length of the corrugated hose is shortened, so that the distance between the second battery cooling unit 10b and the third battery cooling unit 10c is shortened. This avoids deformation or cracking of the battery assembly 100, helps the battery assembly 100 to cool stably, and enables the battery assembly 100 to be at an appropriate temperature.

[0050] Of course, it can be understood that other battery cooling units 10 in the battery assembly 100 can also be displaced in the left - right direction, and the corrugated hoses between the second battery cooling unit 10b and the third battery cooling unit 10c can prevent deformation or cracking of the battery assembly 100.

[0051] In practical applications, among the first battery cooling unit 10a to the sixth battery cooling unit 10f, the first battery cooling unit 10a and the sixth battery cooling unit 10f are located on the outermost sides of the battery assembly 100 and are prone to displacement in the left - right direction. To suppress deformation or cracking of the battery assembly 100 in a timely manner, the following structure of the battery assembly 100 is proposed in this embodiment:

[0052] Optionally, any two adjacent ones among several battery cooling units 10 are flexibly connected.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, the heat conduction tube 12 of the first battery cooling unit 10a is flexibly connected to the heat conduction tube 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b; the heat conduction tube 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b is flexibly connected to the heat conduction tube 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c; the heat conduction tube 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c is flexibly connected to the heat conduction tube 12 of the fourth battery cooling unit 10d; the heat conduction tube 12 of the fourth battery cooling unit 10d is flexibly connected to the heat conduction tube 12 of the fifth battery cooling unit 10e; the heat conduction tube 12 of the fifth battery cooling unit 10e is flexibly connected to the heat conduction tube 12 of the sixth battery cooling unit 10f.

[0054] When the first battery cooling unit 10a or the sixth battery cooling unit 10f has a large displacement in the left - right direction, the flexible connections at the middle positions can further compensate for the displacement to avoid deformation or cracking of the battery assembly 100.

[0055] Optionally, some of the adjacent ones among several battery cooling units 10 are flexibly connected, and the remaining adjacent ones are rigidly connected, and the rigid connections and the flexible connections are arranged alternately.

[0056] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 4As shown, there is a flexible connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the first battery cooling unit 10a and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b; there is a rigid connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c; there is a flexible connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fourth battery cooling unit 10d; there is a rigid connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fourth battery cooling unit 10d and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fifth battery cooling unit 10e; there is a flexible connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fifth battery cooling unit 10e and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the sixth battery cooling unit 10f.

[0057] Optionally, there is a flexible connection between adjacent ones of a part of the battery cooling units 10 located in the middle, and a rigid connection between adjacent ones of the remaining parts located at both ends.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, there is a flexible connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the first battery cooling unit 10a and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b; there is a flexible connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the second battery cooling unit 10b and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c; there is a rigid connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the third battery cooling unit 10c and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fourth battery cooling unit 10d; there is a flexible connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fourth battery cooling unit 10d and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fifth battery cooling unit 10e; there is a flexible connection between the heat conduction tubes 12 of the fifth battery cooling unit 10e and the heat conduction tubes 12 of the sixth battery cooling unit 10f.

[0059] When the first battery cooling unit 10a or the sixth battery cooling unit 10f generates a large displacement in the left - right direction, the flexible connections between the second battery cooling unit 10b and the third battery cooling unit 10c, and between the fourth battery cooling unit 10d and the fifth battery cooling unit 10e can further compensate for the displacement to avoid deformation or cracking of the battery assembly 100.

[0060] As an implementable manner, any one of a metal hose, a rubber hose, and a plastic hose is hermetically connected to the heat conduction tube 12.

[0061] Any one of a metal hose, a rubber hose, and a plastic hose is connected to the heat conduction tube 12 through a hoop structure connection, an interference connection, or a threaded connection. In this way, it is avoided that the coolant in the heat conduction tube 12 leaks from the connection between the hose 20 and the heat conduction tube 12.

[0062] Furthermore, any one of a metal hose, a rubber hose, and a plastic hose is threadedly connected to the heat conduction tube 12, and a seal is provided between the two. For example, the seal can be a sealing tape or a sealing ring, etc.

[0063] The present utility model embodiment also provides a battery cooling system, which includes a cooling circulation mechanism 200 and a plurality of battery modules 100.

[0064] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, a plurality of battery modules 100 are arranged in parallel. The cooling circulation mechanism 200 includes a water inlet pipe 201, a water return pipe 202 and a pump body 203. The water inlet pipe 201, the plurality of battery modules 100 arranged in parallel, and the water return pipe 202 are connected in series in sequence. Among them, the pump body 203 drives the coolant in the water return pipe 202 and the water inlet pipe 201 to circulate.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the battery cooling system includes three battery modules 100: a first battery module 100a, a second battery module 100b and a third battery module 100c. The structure of each battery module 100 is the same. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the battery cooling system may also include 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. battery modules 100, which are determined according to the actual battery capacity and are not limited herein.

[0066] The first battery module 100a includes a first battery cooling unit 10a to a fourth battery cooling unit 10d. The first battery cooling unit 10a includes a first battery cell 111 and a first heat conduction pipe 121; the second battery cooling unit 10b includes a second battery cell 112 and a second heat conduction pipe 122; the third battery cooling unit 10c includes a third battery cell 113 and a third heat conduction pipe 123; the fourth battery cooling unit 10d includes a fourth battery cell 114 and a fourth heat conduction pipe 124.

[0067] The first heat conduction pipe 121 and the second heat conduction pipe 22 are connected through a first metal hose 21; the second heat conduction pipe 22 and the third heat conduction pipe 123 are connected through a second metal hose 22; the third heat conduction pipe 123 and the fourth heat conduction pipe 124 are connected through a third metal hose 23.

[0068] For the first battery module 100a, as Figure 6 shown, the first battery cell 111 in the first battery module 100a is located between the first battery cooling unit 10a and the second battery cooling unit 10b in the second battery module 100b, and the first battery cooling unit 10a in the first battery module 100a is in direct or indirect contact with the first metal hose 21 in the second battery module 100b to achieve heat transfer between the two.

[0069] Similarly, in the first battery assembly 100a, the second battery cell 112 is located between the second battery cooling unit 10b and the third battery cooling unit 10c in the second battery assembly 100b, and the second battery cell 112 in the first battery assembly 100a is in direct or indirect contact with the second metal hose 22 in the second battery assembly 100b. The third battery cell 113 in the first battery assembly 100a is located between the third battery cooling unit 10c and the fourth battery cooling unit 10d in the second battery assembly 100b, and the third battery cell 113 in the first battery assembly 100a is in direct or indirect contact with the third metal hose 23 in the second battery assembly 100b.

[0070] In addition, the fourth battery cell 114 in the first battery assembly 100a is located between the fourth battery cooling unit 10d and the return water pipe 202 in the second battery assembly 100b, and the fourth battery cell 114 in the first battery assembly 100a is in direct or indirect contact with the fourth heat conduction pipe 124 in the second battery assembly 100b.

[0071] In the first battery assembly 100a, the heat generated by the coolant flowing through the first heat conduction pipe 121 to the third heat conduction pipe 123 and the core of each battery cooling unit 10 is transferred to the external environment, thereby improving the problem of the middle part temperature rise during battery charging or discharging. At the same time, the first battery cell 111 transfers heat to the first metal hose 21 of the second battery assembly 100b, the second battery cell 112 transfers heat to the second metal hose 22 of the second battery assembly 100b, the third battery cell 113 transfers heat to the third metal hose 23 of the second battery assembly 100b, and the fourth battery cell 114 transfers heat to the fourth heat conduction pipe 124 of the second battery assembly 100b, further improving the problem of the middle part temperature rise during battery charging or discharging.

[0072] For the second battery assembly 100b and the third battery assembly 100c, as Figure 6 shown, they are described with reference to the above-mentioned first battery assembly 100a, so details are not repeated here.

[0073] Further, the second metal hose 22 in the first battery assembly 100a may be a tee; the second metal hose 22 in the second battery assembly 100b may be a tee; the second metal hose 22 in the third battery assembly 100c may be a tee. Since in each battery assembly 100, the second metal hose 22 is located in the middle of the battery assembly 100, therefore, when connecting with a tee hose in the middle of the battery assembly 100, there can be two flow directions of the coolant. One is that the coolant flows out from both ends of the pump body 203 respectively, converges at the middle of the battery assembly 100 through the tee and then returns to the pump body 203; the other is that the coolant flows out from the middle of the battery assembly 100 through the tee and is branched, and then converges and returns to the pump body 203 respectively from both ends of the pump body 203. In this way, two identical coolant circulation loops can be formed, which helps to improve the cooling efficiency of the battery and further improve the problem of temperature rise in the middle during battery charging or discharging.

[0074] Of course, it can be understood that in some embodiments, the first metal hose 21 in each battery assembly 100 may be a tee; or, the third metal hose 23 in each battery assembly 100 may be a tee.

[0075] Meanwhile, in some embodiments, each battery cell in the first battery assembly 100a may not have heat transfer with the metal hose in the second battery assembly 200b, as Figure 7 shown. Of course, it can be understood that in some embodiments, as Figure 8 shown, the water inlet pipe 201 is connected to the first battery assembly 100a through a two-way flexible joint 301; the water inlet pipe 201 is connected to the second battery assembly 100b through a three-way flexible joint 302; the water inlet pipe 201 is connected to the third battery assembly 100c through a three-way flexible joint 302; the water return pipe 202 is connected to the first battery assembly 100a through a two-way flexible joint 301; the water return pipe 202 is connected to the second battery assembly 100b through a three-way flexible joint 302; the water return pipe 202 is connected to the third battery assembly 100c through a three-way flexible joint 302. Two-way flexible joints 301 are provided at the bends of the water inlet pipe 201 and the water return pipe 202. Among them, the two-way flexible joint 301 can be a two-way plastic hose or a two-way rubber hose; the three-way flexible joint 302 can be a three-way plastic hose or a three-way rubber hose. In this way, displacement can be compensated through the two-way flexible joint 301 and the three-way flexible joint 302 to avoid deformation or cracking of the entire battery cooling system.

[0076] The exemplary embodiment of the present utility model further provides a battery pack, including a control system and the above-mentioned battery cooling system, and the control system is used to control the start-stop and circulation of the battery cooling system. This battery pack has the advantages of the battery cooling system, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0077] The present utility model example further provides an electrical device, which can be an electric vehicle, an electric toy, a notebook, etc. The electrical device includes the above-mentioned battery pack. Since the electrical device has the advantages of the battery pack, it will not be elaborated herein.
