[0002] With the rapid development of the electric vehicle industry, battery technology, as its core component, is also constantly improving. Among them, Cell to Pack (CTP) technology is an innovative battery manufacturing technology that directly integrates battery cells into the battery pack, eliminating the intermediate link of traditional battery modules, thereby reducing the size and weight of the battery system and improving energy density and manufacturing efficiency.

[0003] CTP technology also has some shortcomings, especially in after-sales service: ① Difficulty in maintenance. CTP battery packs contain multiple cells and are compact. Once a fault occurs, it is difficult to repair or replace a single battery cell, which may require the replacement of the entire battery pack. ② High maintenance cost: The maintenance cost of CTP battery packs is relatively high, because any minor damage may require the replacement of the entire battery module, increasing maintenance costs. ③ Diagnostic complexity: Fault diagnosis of CTP battery packs is relatively complex and requires professional equipment and technical knowledge, which places higher demands on after-sales service personnel. ④ Recycling and reuse: The recycling and reuse process of CTP battery packs is relatively complex, which affects the sustainable development and environmental performance of the battery.

[0004] In summary, although CTP technology has significant advantages in improving battery performance and reducing costs, it still faces challenges in after-sales service. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a simplified, fast, and non-destructive CTP battery pack after-sales device. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inside", "around" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] See also Figure 1-5As shown, the utility model is a simplified, fast and lossless CTP battery pack after-sales device, including a battery pack main body 3 and a guard plate 4, a fixed shell 1 is arranged between the battery pack main body 3 and the guard plate 4, the fixed shell 1 is composed of an upper shell and a lower shell, the upper shell and the lower shell are fixed by bolts, a main line 5 and a plurality of heat-conducting pipes 2 are arranged between the upper shell and the lower shell of the fixed shell 1, the inlet end and the outlet end of the heat-conducting pipe 2 are both connected to the main line 5, the heat-conducting pipe 2 and the main line 5 are both composed of high-temperature and low-temperature resistant hollow pipes, the fixed shell 1 is also provided with a connecting tube 101 and a connecting tube 2 102, the connecting tube 101 and the connecting tube 2 102 are both connected to the fixed shell 1, the inlet end of the fixed shell 1 passes through the connecting tube 101, and the outlet end of the fixed shell 1 passes through the connecting tube 2 102, the fixed shell 1 and the guard plate 4 are connected by bolts, the fixed shell 1 fits with the battery pack main body 3, the fixed shell The inlet end of 1 passes through the connecting tube 101, and the outlet end of the fixed shell 1 passes through the connecting tube 2 102. In this embodiment, the fixed shell 1 is fixed between the battery pack body 3 and the guard plate 4 by bolts. The guard plate 4 can be an upper guard plate 4 above the battery pack body 3 or a lower guard plate 4 below the battery pack body 3. In daily use, the main line 5 can be connected to the air conditioning cooling circulation system of the CTP battery pack and used as a cooling line to cool the CTP battery pack. When the CTP battery pack is repaired, the main line 5 is filled with a heat-conducting medium of suitable temperature, and the heat-conducting medium flows into the heat-conducting line 2, so that the heat-conducting line 2 transfers energy to the battery pack body 3, causing the heat-conducting structural adhesive in the battery pack body 3 to lose its adhesion performance. The heat-conducting structural adhesive is used to bond the battery cell to the battery pack shell. The loss of adhesion of the heat-conducting structural adhesive facilitates the disassembly of the battery cell in the battery pack body 3 to prevent the battery cell from being damaged during disassembly. The pipeline can withstand -300 to 200°C.

[0029] Among them, the inlet and outlet ends of the heat-conducting pipe 2 are both provided with electromagnetic valve 1 201, and the inlet and outlet ends of the main pipe 5 are both provided with electromagnetic valve 2 501. In this embodiment, when repairing the CTP battery pack, the electromagnetic valve 1 201 is opened, and then all the electromagnetic valves 2 501 can be opened to fill the main pipe 5 and the heat-conducting pipe 2 with heat-conducting medium, so that the thermal conductive structural adhesive of the entire CTP battery pack reaches the failure temperature, or the electromagnetic valve 1 of one or several heat-conducting pipes 2 is opened according to the location of the damaged battery cell in the CTP battery pack, so that the thermal conductive structural adhesive used to bond the failed battery cell reaches the failure temperature. The number and location of the heat-conducting pipes 2 are customized according to the number and location of the battery cell modules in the CTP battery pack.

[0030] Among them, such as Figure 5As shown, the pipes of the heat transfer pipe 2 are arranged in a serpentine shape. The advantage of the serpentine pipe arrangement in this embodiment is that it can efficiently dissipate heat when connected to the air-conditioning cooling circulation system. The serpentine pipe adopts a serial flow channel, has a large contact area, and has high heat conduction efficiency. In addition, the serpentine layout also contributes to modular design and simplifies the installation process.

[0031] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pipes of the heat conducting pipeline 2 are arranged in an arcuate shape. In this embodiment, the heat conducting pipes arranged in an arcuate shape have a large heat conduction area and greatly improve the heat transfer efficiency. In addition, the arcuate layout can effectively reduce pressure loss because the turbulence generated when the fluid flows in the curved pipe can promote better heat exchange. At the same time, this layout is also conducive to modular design.

[0032] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pipes of the heat conduction pipeline are arranged in an arc shape. The advantage of this pipeline arrangement is that the heat conduction rate is high, and the arc-shaped tubular structure increases the heat dissipation area and has a significant heat dissipation effect. It can better meet the heat dissipation requirements of power equipment, avoid the "air blockage" phenomenon, and ensure the uniformity of the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the heat conduction pipeline 2 can be customized according to the specific shape of the battery pack, thereby optimizing space utilization.

[0033] It can be understood that, firstly, in daily use, the present invention can connect the main line 5 to the air-conditioning cooling circulation system of the CTP battery pack and use it as a cooling line to cool the CTP battery pack. Secondly, when repairing the CTP battery pack, a heat-conducting medium is filled into the main line 5 and the heat-conducting line 2, and the heat-conducting structural adhesive in the CTP battery pack reaches the failure temperature, so that the battery cell can be disassembled without damage.

[0034] Specific implementation steps: During daily use of the CTP battery pack, the main line 5 can be connected to the air conditioning cooling circulation system of the CTP battery pack and used as a cooling line to cool the CTP battery pack. When the battery pack needs to be repaired after sales, the staff will fill the heat transfer medium into the main line 5. The heat transfer medium flows from the main line 5 into the heat transfer pipe 2. The heat transfer pipe 2 transfers energy to the battery pack body 3, so that the heat transfer structural adhesive used to bond the battery cells in the battery pack body 3 reaches the failure temperature, and the heat transfer structural adhesive loses its adhesion performance, so that the battery cells can be removed from the battery pack body 3 without damage. The number and design of the heat transfer pipes 2 The position of the heat transfer medium is customized according to the number and position of the battery cell modules in the CTP battery pack. The inlet and outlet ends of each heat transfer pipe 2 are provided with an electromagnetic valve 201. After the heat transfer medium is filled into the main pipe 5, the staff can open the electromagnetic valve 201 of the heat transfer pipe 2 corresponding to the damaged battery cell module according to the position of the damaged battery cell, so that the heat transfer medium in the main pipe 5 is targetedly filled into one or several heat transfer pipes 2 according to the position of the battery cell to be removed, without affecting the battery cells on the remaining heat transfer pipes 2, facilitating the targeted disassembly of the failed battery cell without the need to disassemble the battery cells of the entire battery pack.
