Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of power batteries, and in particular relates to a battery core shell structure. Background Art
[0002] In the process of implementing the present invention, the inventors discovered that the prior art has at least the following problems:
[0003] Onboard energy storage devices are the sole energy source for electric vehicles and a key determinant of their performance. Currently developed onboard energy storage devices primarily rely on batteries. Onboard power supplies must consist of several or even hundreds of individual cells connected in series, combined into battery packs to produce a high-voltage, high-current power supply. Under actual operating conditions, the discharge and charge capabilities of battery cells are significantly affected by ambient temperature. Prolonged use under relatively extreme operating conditions can severely impact the lifespan of the cells and cause irreversible damage to the onboard energy storage.
[0004] Existing battery cell thermal management systems often manage the battery module, resulting in inefficient thermal management. They lack the ability to manage the thermal performance of individual cells, making it impossible to effectively and timely control the temperature of individual cells in real time. In extremely cold environments, the average temperature of the cells cannot be quickly and evenly increased. In high-temperature environments, effective thermal management strategies cannot be implemented for the cells at the center of the module, resulting in overheating of individual cells and increasing the risk of thermal runaway in the battery pack.
