[0027] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a function-integrated energy storage box body is provided.
[0029] Embodiment 1;
[0030] As Figure 1-Figure 3 shown, a function-integrated energy storage box body according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a reinforcement component 1, a heat insulation component 2, and a cooling component 3. The reinforcement component 1 is composed of a plurality of longitudinal beams 101, a plurality of cross beams 102, and an intermediate cross beam 103. The number of longitudinal beams 101 and cross beams 102 is two. The cross beam 102 is preferably a profile with a rectangular cross-section, and the wall thickness is between 1 and 2 mm. The longitudinal beam 101 is preferably a special-shaped cross-section, and the wall thickness is between 1 and 2 mm. The longitudinal beam 101, the cross beam 102, and the intermediate cross beam 103 are welded into a complete metal framework energy storage box body according to the size combination. According to the overall load-bearing and installation dimension requirements of the box body, the height of the metal framework is between 10 mm and 25 mm, the width is between 600 mm and 900 mm, and the length is between 1000 mm and 2500 mm;
[0031] The cross-sectional width of the longitudinal beam 101 and the cross beam 102 is between 30 mm and 60 mm, and the cross-sectional shape can be rectangular or a special-shaped structure formed by a roll-forming process, such as a "day" shape, an "L" shape, or a complex-shaped cross-section such as a "tian" character grid shape or an "L" shape formed by extrusion. At the positions where the cross-section needs to be bonded;
[0032] An installation block is welded on one side of the longitudinal beam 101 for the fixed installation of the box body and the outside; a plurality of avoidance slots are opened at the positions on the intermediate cross beam 103 that interfere with the flow channels of the cooling flow channel plate 301;
[0033] The metal framework not only plays a role in bearing and fixing the box body, but also can enclose the periphery of the "sandwich" sandwich structure of the entire box body to prevent water vapor from eroding the internal heat insulation structure foam. The water-cooled plate - heat insulation foam 202 - lower skin 105 forms a sandwich structure in terms of mechanical principles, with higher bearing capacity and rigidity. The finite element analysis results show that under the same weight, the present invention has a rigidity improvement of more than 20% compared with the stamping brazing liquid-cooled plate & blown liquid-cooled plate + metal framework;
[0034] The water-cooled plate, thermal insulation foam 202, and lower skin 105 have a compact structure and good functional integration. The thermal insulation foam serves as both a structural and thermal insulation material. The metal frame supports and seals the energy storage box, creating a "sandwich" structure. The water-cooled plate is both a functional component for thermal management and a structural component of the sandwich structure, contributing stiffness to the box and bearing in-plane loads. The thermal insulation foam 202 serves as both a functional component for thermal insulation and bears the out-of-plane shear load of the entire sandwich structure. The lower skin 105 not only seals and insulates, isolates thermal bridges, but also bears the in-plane loads of the entire sandwich structure.
[0035] The middle crossbeam 103 can be increased according to the load-bearing requirements during actual use. The two ends of the longitudinal beam 101 are welded to the crossbeam 102. The middle crossbeam 103 is arranged in the middle position of the longitudinal beam 101. The two ends of the middle crossbeam 103 are welded to the opposite side of the longitudinal beam 101. A mounting groove is provided under the longitudinal beam 101. The mounting groove has an arc-shaped or semicircular glue groove structure. The deepest position of the glue groove is 1-3mm deep. There is a 15-30 micron thick anti-corrosion layer on the inside and outside of the cross section. The anti-corrosion layer not only plays an anti-corrosion role, but also can improve the bonding strength of the glue layer at the bonding point. The inner wall of the mounting groove is provided with a glue layer 104, and the glue layer 104 is bonded with a lower skin 105. A buffer groove 401 is provided on one side of the longitudinal beam 101 and multiple crossbeams 102.
[0036] The lower skin 105 is made of a non-metallic composite material. With a thickness of 1mm, it features high specific strength and low density, with a material density of less than 2000kg / m³. Based on the overall load-bearing requirements of the box, the thickness of the lower skin 105 is between 0.8-1.5mm. The circumference of the lower skin 105 is connected to the lower end surface of the metal frame via fasteners or adhesive bonding. Its thermal conductivity is only 1 / 1000 of that of aluminum alloy and 1 / 500 of that of steel, effectively isolating metal thermal bridges and further enhancing the thermal insulation and anti-condensation capabilities of the energy storage box. In addition to its thermal insulation properties, the non-metallic composite material also offers improved insulation and pressure resistance, reducing the risk of arcing and arcing in the electrical system. Its low density makes it over 30% lighter than aluminum or steel.
[0037] The insulation component 2 includes a middle crossbeam 103 that divides the longitudinal beam 101 into multiple insulation grooves 201. The inner wall of the insulation groove 201 is installed with insulation foam 202. The insulation foam 202 is formed by in-mold injection foaming. It is a hard foam in microscopic terms. The thickness of the foam is 4-8 times thicker than the existing spraying solution, which can better prevent heat and cold loss, and has high insulation and anti-condensation capabilities. The thickest part of the insulation foam 202 is 12mm. The insulation foam 202 is in close contact with the longitudinal beam 101, the crossbeam 102, and the middle crossbeam 10 3. Contact. In the internal closed cavity surrounded by the water-cooling plate, metal frame, and lower skin 105, an insulating structural foam is integrally foamed to fill the internal cavity. The foam is a closed-cell foam structure at the microscopic level, with good thermal insulation performance and good load-bearing capacity. The thickness of the thickest part of the insulating foam 202 is between 8mm and 25mm. The upper part of the insulating foam 202 and the contour of the cooling channel plate 301 follow and form a bond. The lower part of the insulating foam 202 and the lower skin 105 follow and form a bond.
[0038] The cooling assembly 3 includes a cooling channel plate 301 and a cooling flat plate 302. The cooling channel plate 301 and the cooling flat plate 302 are an integral water-cooled plate. The water-cooled plate can be formed by blowing or stamping and brazing. The front and rear crossbeams and water nozzles of the cold plate for fixing the battery cells are welded on the upper cooling flat plate 302. The thickness of the thinnest part of the water-cooled plate is between 1.8 and 2.5 mm. The bottom of the cooling channel plate 301 contacts the longitudinal beam 101, the crossbeam 102 and the top of the middle crossbeam 103. The top of the cooling channel plate 301 is connected to the cooling flat plate 302. A plurality of battery cell fixing crossbeams 303 are welded above the cooling flat plate 302. There are two battery cell fixing crossbeams 303. A plurality of inlet and outlet liquid joints 304 are welded above the cooling flat plate 302. There are two inlet and outlet liquid joints 304 for the flow of coolant in and out. The inlet and outlet liquid joint 304 is close to one of the battery cell fixing crossbeams 303.
[0039] Circular holes 6 are distributed at equal distances on the cooling channel plate 301, the cooling flat plate 302, the longitudinal beam 101 and the cross beam 102, with a hole spacing of 80-150 mm. The circumference of the water-cooled plate and the upper end faces of the longitudinal beam 101 and the cross beam 102 are connected by rivet nuts 7. The inner wall of the circular hole 6 is connected with a rivet nut 7, and a sealing ring 8 is sleeved on the rivet nut 7 to achieve sealing of the box at the hole. The sealing ring 8 is in contact with the cooling flat plate 302, and a buffer gasket 9 is provided above the battery cell fixing beam 303 and below the lower skin 105.
