[0032] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0033] The present application embodiment discloses a truck air conditioning service battery. Figure 1 The truck air conditioning service battery includes a battery casing 1, an energy storage cell 2 and a cell cooling component 3.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The battery housing 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped and includes a housing base 11 and a housing cover 12. A battery cavity 101 is defined within the housing base 11. The housing cover 12 is attached to the top of the housing base 11 via a plurality of bolts to seal the battery cavity 101 and facilitate removal of the housing cover 12 when maintenance is required within the battery cavity 101. In addition, a vent valve 13 is installed on the outer circumference of the battery housing 1 to facilitate exhaust of gas within the battery cavity 101 when the pressure within the battery cavity 101 is too high.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The energy storage cell 2 is located in the battery cavity 101 and is fixedly mounted on the housing base 11. Two cell cooling members 3 are provided, and the two cell cooling members 3 are located on both sides of the energy storage cell 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The battery cell cooling member 3 includes a cooling shell 31, a tube body mounting rod 32 and a cooling pipe 33. The cooling shell 31 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the material of the cooling shell 31 is metal. A shell cavity 301 is provided through the cooling shell 31, and the shell cavity 301 extends along the length direction of the cooling shell 31. The tube body mounting rod 32 and the cooling pipe 33 are both located in the shell cavity 301. There are two tube body mounting rods 32, and the two tube body mounting rods 32 are distributed along the height direction of the cooling shell 31, and the two tube body mounting rods 32 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the shell cavity 301. Combined Figure 5 Several flexible mounting rings 321 are fixedly mounted on the tube mounting rod 32 and distributed along the length of the tube mounting rod 32. The flexible mounting rings 321 can be made of a flexible material such as silicone or rubber, and have through-holes extending through the flexible mounting rings 321. These holes are used to mount the cooling tube 33, thereby reducing vibration and wear between the tube mounting rod 32 and the cooling tube 33.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 , the cooling pipe 33 is provided with a number of bending sections, and the bending sections are all arranged in a "U" shape, and the bending sections are distributed along the length direction of the cooling shell 31, and the bending sections are connected in sequence. The material of the cooling pipe 33 can be flexible or rigid, and in the embodiment of the present application, the material of the cooling pipe 33 is metal. The cooling pipe 33 is passed through each annular through-hole, and the outer peripheral surface of the cooling pipe 33 is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the annular through-hole of the flexible mounting ring 321, so that the cooling pipe 33 is stably installed on the flexible mounting ring 321. In addition, the outer wall of the cooling pipe 33 is closely fitted with the inner wall of the shell cavity 301, so as to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the cooling pipe 33 through the shell cavity 301. Combined with Figure 2The cooling pipe 33 is provided with two connecting sealing heads 331, which are located at the beginning and end of the cooling pipe 33, respectively. The connecting sealing heads 331 facilitate connecting the cooling pipe 33 to the truck's cooling water pipe (not shown) and / or the condensing water pipe (not shown) of the truck's air conditioner through the connecting sealing heads 331, and drive the cooling water and condensing water to circulate within the cooling pipe 33 via a water pump (not shown). Both connecting sealing heads 331 are located outside the housing base 11 and are threadedly engaged with the cooling pipe 33. When the battery cell cooling unit 3 needs to be disassembled, the connecting sealing heads 331 are first removed, and then the battery cell cooling unit 3 is lifted from the battery cavity 101, thereby ensuring both the sealing of the battery cavity 101 and the ease of assembly and disassembly.

[0037] The operating principle of a truck air conditioning service battery in this embodiment is as follows: a cooling refrigerant, such as cold water, is introduced into cooling pipe 33. This cools the heat within battery cavity 101, thereby lowering the operating temperature of energy storage cell 2 and extending the service life of the truck battery in high-temperature environments. Furthermore, by feeding low-temperature condensed water from the truck air conditioner's condensate pipe into cooling pipe 33, the temperature of cooling pipe 33 is effectively lowered, thereby improving the cooling effect of cooling pipe 33. This also fully utilizes the electrical energy consumed by the air conditioner, reducing energy consumption during truck operation and being more environmentally friendly.

[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
