The cooling medium entering through the cooling medium inlet 3 flows through the first cooling flow channel 5, the third cooling flow channel 7 and the second cooling flow channel 6 in sequence, and then is discharged through the cooling medium outlet 4. In the process of cooling medium circulation, the opposite two side surfaces and the bottom surface of the battery cell 100 are cooled by heat absorption. Compared with the prior art structure in which the side cooling and bottom cooling of the battery cell 100 are separated, the side cooling structure and the bottom cooling structure of the battery cell 100 are integrated, the cooling system of the battery pack and the shell of the battery pack are designed in one piece, and the space occupancy of the battery pack is reduced. In addition, the cooling box body 1 and the battery cell 100 are assembled directly into a battery pack, which reduces the resistance of the cooling medium flow, reduces the energy consumption of the system operation, improves the operation condition of the liquid cooling system, and improves the cooling efficiency and the temperature control ability of the cooling system.
