DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The drawings of the utility model are only used for illustrative description, and cannot be understood as the limitation of the utility model. In order to better illustrate the following embodiments, some components in the drawings can be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and the size of the actual product is not represented; for those skilled in the art, it can be understood that some known structures and their descriptions in the drawings can be omitted.
[0041] As shown in Figure 1 The utility model discloses a spray type liquid cooling vehicle-mounted charger, which is characterized by,
[0042] Including sealed heat conduction box body, power storage device 11, spray device 7, circulating device and heat dissipation device 13.
[0043] The outer surface of the box body is also provided with fins 6.
[0044] The power storage device 11 and the spraying device 7 are arranged inside the box, and the spraying direction of the spraying device 7 faces the power storage device 11;
[0045] The box is provided with a liquid inlet 19 and a liquid outlet 17, and the liquid inlet 19 and the liquid outlet 17 are arranged in an up-down manner. The spraying device 7 is connected to the liquid inlet 19 from the inside of the box.
[0046] The circulating device and the heat dissipation device 13 are arranged outside the box. The circulating device is respectively connected to a liquid inlet pipeline 15 and a liquid outlet pipeline 14 at two ends. The liquid inlet pipeline 15 is connected to the liquid inlet 19 from the outside of the box, and the liquid outlet pipeline 14 is connected to the liquid outlet 17 from the outside of the box. The inside of the box is further filled with cooling liquid 10. The circulating device is used to drive the cooling liquid 10 to flow out of the box from the liquid outlet 17 and then flow back to the spraying device 7 from the liquid inlet 19. The heat dissipation device 13 is used to dissipate heat from the cooling liquid 10 in the liquid inlet pipeline 15 and / or the cooling liquid 10 in the liquid outlet pipeline 14. In a specific implementation, the heat dissipation device 13 can be a heat dissipation fan. By accelerating the air flow around the liquid inlet pipeline 15 and the liquid outlet pipeline 14, the cooling liquid 10 in the pipelines is indirectly cooled. More preferably, a heat exchanger can also be used. The input end and the output end of the heat exchanger are respectively connected to the liquid outlet pipeline 14 and the liquid inlet pipeline 15. The high-temperature cooling liquid 10 input from the liquid outlet pipeline 14 is cooled by the heat exchanger and then output as low-temperature cooling liquid through the liquid inlet pipeline 15, and then flows back to the spraying device 7.
[0047] In actual work, the cooling liquid 10 flows in the circulating pipeline composed of the liquid outlet pipeline 14 and the liquid inlet pipeline 15 under the action of the circulating pump 12, then flows into the box and is sprayed out by the spraying device 7, forming liquid droplets with a certain speed adhering to the power storage device 11. Under the action of inertia or gravity, the liquid droplets flow over the surface of the power storage device 11 at a certain speed, taking away heat. The liquid droplets collecting the heat of the power storage device 11 converge at the bottom of the box. Under the action of the circulating pump 12, the liquid droplets collecting the heat of the power storage device 11 flow into the heat dissipation device 13 through the circulating pipeline, realize heat exchange, and the cooling liquid 10 cooled by the heat dissipation device 13 is sprayed out again by the spraying device 7, completing a cycle.
[0048] The surface of the box is provided with fins 6. When the cooling liquid 10 with heat accumulates at the bottom of the box due to its own gravity, the fins 6 increase the contact area between the box and the air, thereby accelerating the removal of the heat absorbed by the box, and thus preliminarily indirectly cooling the cooling liquid 10, saving energy for the heat dissipation device 13, and achieving the purpose of energy saving of the automobile.
[0049] In specific implementation, the box is a sealed box, and a certain height of cooling liquid 10 is stored at the bottom to ensure that the cooling liquid 10 entering the circulating pump 12 is free of gas, thereby avoiding cavitation of the circulating pump 12; and a liquid adding port 4 is arranged at the top of the box to facilitate addition of the cooling liquid 10.
[0050] Further, the spraying device 7 is arranged above the electricity storage device 11.

[0052] Further, the spraying device 7 is arranged at the top inside the box, and the spraying device 7 is in heat-conducting connection with the box.
[0053] In the present scheme, the spraying device 7 is arranged at the top inside the box, which is conducive to direct heat transfer of the cooling liquid 10 in the spraying device 7 to the box, and the contact area of the box and air is increased through the fins 6, thereby completing the preliminary heat dissipation of the cooling liquid 10 and reducing the energy consumption of the heat dissipation device 13.
[0054] Further, the electricity storage device 11 is provided in plurality, and the spraying device 7 is provided with a plurality of spraying heads, which correspond to the electricity storage devices 11 one by one.

[0056] Preferably, the electricity storage devices 11 are arranged at a distance from each other. The present scheme is helpful to increase the contact area of the electricity storage devices 11 and the cooling liquid 10, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electricity storage devices 11.
[0057] Further, the fins 6 are arranged on the top surface and the bottom surface of the box.
[0058] The circulating device draws the cooling liquid 10 into the spraying device 7, and then sprays it on the electricity storage device 11, and finally converges at the bottom of the box due to inertia or gravity, and in specific implementation, a certain height of cooling liquid 10 is stored at the bottom of the box, and the fins 6 arranged on the top surface and the bottom surface of the box are helpful to accelerate heat dissipation of the cooling liquid 10 in the spraying device 7 and the cooling liquid 10 stored at the bottom of the box, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the heat dissipation device 13.
[0059] Further, the box is provided with a breather valve 5 for balancing the internal and external air pressures.
[0060] In the scheme, the breathing valve 5 is used to balance the pressure inside and outside the box, prevent the box from being damaged due to the excessive pressure inside the box caused by the high temperature of the cooling liquid 10. When the cooling liquid 10 absorbs a large amount of heat emitted by the power storage device 13, the temperature rises, and the pressure inside the box increases. The pressure inside the box can be reduced by adjusting the tightness of the breathing valve 5 to ensure the balance of the pressure inside and outside the box.

[0065] Further, the box is provided with a support member 16 with heat conduction performance, and the power storage device 13 is arranged on the support member 16. The support surface of the support member 16 in contact with the power storage device 13 is provided with a hollow structure.
[0066] By arranging the support member 16, the contact area between the power storage device 13 and the cooling liquid 10 is increased, so that the cooling liquid 10 can take away the heat emitted by the power storage device 13. Specifically, the support surface of the support member 16 in contact with the power storage device 13 has a hollow structure.
[0067] Further, the box comprises an upper cover 1 and a lower shell 3, and the upper cover 1 and the lower shell 3 are sealingly connected through a connecting member 18. The spraying device 7 is arranged on the upper cover 1, the power storage device 13 is arranged in the lower shell 3, the upper cover 1 is provided with a liquid inlet 19, and the lower shell 3 is provided with a liquid outlet 17.
