[0054] Reference Figures 1-6 as well as Figures 8-10 The first plate 20 extends along the first direction X, and the cross section of the first plate 20 intersecting the first direction X is square. Figures 1-6 as well as Figures 8-10In the embodiment shown, the cross section of the first plate 20 perpendicular to the first direction X is rectangular. In other implementations, the cross section of the first plate 20 perpendicular to the first direction X may also be square or rhombus-shaped, which can be selected according to actual use requirements. A second flow channel 201 is provided inside the first plate 20. The first plate 20 is connected to the liquid cooling plate 10, and the second flow channel 201 is connected to the liquid inlet end 102.

The cross section of the second plate body 30 perpendicular to the first direction X is a cross section parallel to the second end surface 302 .

[0056] The first plate 20 and the second plate 30 are arranged along the third direction Z. Specifically, in some implementations, the first plate 20 and the second plate 30 may be spaced apart along the third direction Z. In some implementations, the first plate 20 and the second plate 30 may be stacked along the third direction Z.

[0057] In existing battery packs, in order to improve the space utilization inside the box, a current collector is usually set at the same end of multiple liquid cooling plates, and a liquid inlet end and a liquid outlet end are integrated on the current collector. The liquid inlets of multiple liquid cooling plates are connected through a liquid inlet pipe, and the liquid outlet ends of multiple liquid cooling plates are connected through a liquid outlet pipe to achieve centralized liquid supply and discharge of multiple liquid cooling plates. Usually, the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe are arranged along the height direction of the box, and the liquid cooling plate and the current collector are connected along the length direction of the box. The combined design of the current collector, the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe occupies more space in the length direction of the box, affecting the space utilization of the battery pack.

The second plate body 30 is connected to the liquid cooling plate 10, and the third flow channel 301 is connected to the liquid outlet end 103. The first plate body 20 and the second plate body 30 are arranged along the third direction Z, and the liquid inlet end 102 and the liquid outlet end 103 are arranged at the same end of the liquid cooling plate 10 along the second direction Y, so that the first plate body 20 and the second plate body 30 are arranged on the same side of the liquid cooling plate 10 along the second direction Y, and the third flow channel 301 is connected to the liquid cooling plate 10 along the second direction Y. A plate body 20 is connected to the liquid cooling plate 10, and a second plate body 30 is connected to the liquid cooling plate 10, so that a heat transfer fluid is provided to the liquid cooling plate 10 through the first plate body 20, and the heat transfer fluid in the liquid cooling plate 10 is discharged through the second plate body 30. In addition, the cross section of the first plate body 20 intersecting the first direction X is square, and the cross section of the second plate body 30 intersecting the first direction X is square, so that the first plate body 20 and the second plate body 30 form a flat structure in the battery pack 1, thereby reducing the space occupied in the second direction Y and improving the space utilization of the battery pack 1 in the second direction Y. The utilization rate is high, and the design of arranging the first plate body 20 and the second plate body 30 along the third direction Z makes the first plate body 20 and the second plate body 30 independent of each other, and the first plate body 20 and the second plate body 30 do not interfere with each other or interfere with each other very little. When the battery pack 1 shakes and causes the liquid cooling plate 10 to shake, the connection stability between the second flow channel 201 in the first plate body 20 and the liquid inlet end 102 can be guaranteed, and the connection stability between the third flow channel 301 in the second plate body 30 and the liquid outlet end 103 can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the battery pack 1.

The second plate 30 is connected to the second section 12 to connect the third flow channel 301 with the liquid outlet 103. The U-shaped structure of the liquid cooling plate 10 improves the ease of assembly between the first and second plates 20, 30, and the liquid cooling plate 10. The first and second sections 11, 12 are spaced apart along the first direction X, allowing the first and second plates 20, 30 to be staggered along the first direction X. This ensures the stability of the connection between the first plate 20 and the first section 11, the connection between the second plate 30 and the second section 12, and the stability of the battery pack 1 during use.

[0060] In some embodiments, reference Figure 10 The first plate 20 has a dimension L1 mm along the first direction X, that is, the distance between the two surfaces of the first plate 20 arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X is L1 mm, that is, the distance between the two first end surfaces 202 is L1 mm. In other words, the length of the first plate 20 is L1 mm. The first plate 20 also has a dimension W1 mm ​​along the second direction Y, that is, the distance between the two surfaces of the first plate 20 arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y is W1 mm.
