[0031] See Figures 1-6The application provides a pipe joint for an energy storage liquid cooling pipe. The pipe joint is used to connect adjacent first and second pipes.
[0032] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the pipe joint comprises a fixing seat 1, a connecting sleeve 2 and a rotating joint 3. The connecting sleeve 2 has a ring-shaped cross section and is used to connect the first pipe. The fixing seat 1 is used to connect the second pipe and is coaxially arranged with the connecting sleeve 2. The fixing seat 1 comprises a water passing plate 11, the center of which is provided with a first through hole 111, and the water passing plate 11 is further provided with a second through hole 112 located beside the first through hole 111.
[0033] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the rotating joint 3 is at least partially located between the fixing seat 1 and the connecting sleeve 2, the rotating joint 3 is coaxially arranged with the fixing seat 1, the axial direction of the rotating joint 3 is defined as the first direction A, the rotating joint 3 comprises a water passing disc 31 which is arranged in parallel with the water passing plate 11 along the first direction A, the water passing disc 31 is provided with a first water passing hole 311 at a position corresponding to the first through hole 111, and is further provided with a second water passing hole 312 at a position beside the first water passing hole 311, and the rotating joint 3 is arranged to be rotatable relative to the fixing seat 1, thereby having at least the following first state and second state: in the first state, at least part of the second water passing hole 312 corresponds to and communicates with the second through hole 112; in the second state, the second water passing hole 312 corresponds to a closed position beside the second through hole 112 on the water passing plate 11.
[0034] It can be understood that the rotating joint 3 can be switched between the first state and the second state by rotating the rotating joint 3. In the first state (e.g. 1st gear) of the rotating joint 3, the second through hole 112 corresponds to and communicates with the second water passing hole 312, and since the first through hole 111 and the first water passing hole 311 always correspond and communicate, at this time, the water passing area of the water passing plate 11 of the fixing seat 1 is the largest. When the rotating joint 3 is in the second state (e.g. 2nd gear), the second water passing hole 312 corresponds to a closed position beside the second through hole 112 on the water passing plate 11, that is, the second water passing hole 312 is arranged in a staggered manner with the second through hole 112, at this time, only the first through hole 111 corresponds to and communicates with the first water passing hole, and the flow area of the water passing plate 11 of the fixing seat 1 is reduced. Therefore, by rotating the rotating joint 3, the flow can be adjusted, the whole adjustment process is convenient and fast, and the user's needs can be better met. In addition, the flow can be adjusted, the flow into the battery pack can be controlled, and the temperature of the battery cell can be controlled in the subsequent process.
[0035] In addition, the size of the adjacent first and second pipes can be realized by adjusting the size of the fixing seat 1 and the connecting sleeve 2.
[0036] The connecting sleeve 2 is connected to the three-way valve of the second pipeline. It can be connected by plug-in or by thread. Specifically, the inner circumferential wall of the connecting sleeve 2 is provided with internal threads.
[0037] The aforementioned first through hole 111, second through hole 112, first water passage hole 311 and second water passage hole 312 can be circular holes, square holes, such as hexagonal holes, or holes of other shapes.
[0038] In other embodiments, there is one second through hole 112. In this embodiment, as... Figure 3 As shown, there are at least two second through holes 112, which are evenly distributed around the first through hole 111 along the circumference of the water-passing plate 11. The positions between two adjacent second through holes 112 on the water-passing plate 11 are all closed positions. The number of second water passage holes 312 is equal to the number of second through holes 112. When the rotary joint 3 is in the first state, at least a portion of each second water passage hole 312 is connected to the corresponding second through hole 112. When the rotary joint 3 is in the second state, each water passage hole corresponds to a closed position.
[0039] It is understandable that when the rotary joint 3 is in the first state, each of the second through holes 112 is connected to the corresponding second water passage hole 312. Since the first through hole 111 and the first water passage hole 311 are always connected, the water flow area of the water passage plate 11 of the fixed base 1 is the largest at this time.
[0040] For example, there are three second through holes 112 and three second water passage holes 312, and the cross-sectional area of each second water passage hole 312 is equal, and the central angle between two adjacent second water passage holes 312 is 120°. In other embodiments, there may be two or more second through holes 112 and two water passage holes 312.
[0041] like Figures 3-5 As shown, at least a first marking portion 313 and a second marking portion 314 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotary joint 3. The first marking portion 313 and the second marking portion 314 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotary joint 3. A reference portion 21 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting sleeve 2. When the first marking portion 313 is in a state corresponding to the reference portion 21, the rotary joint 3 is in a first state; when the second marking portion 314 is in a state corresponding to the reference portion 21, the rotary joint 3 is in a second state.
[0042] Understandably, the arrangement of the first marking part 313, the second marking part 314 and the reference part 21 makes it easier to identify the position of the rotary joint 3 (i.e. the state of the rotary joint 3), which is more intuitive and can be accurately adjusted to the required position according to needs.
[0043] Further, the number of the first marking portions 313 and the second marking portions 314 is equal to the number of the second water passing holes 312, i.e. each of the second water passing holes 312 corresponds to one of the first marking portions 313. Specifically, the first marking portions 313 and the second marking portions 314 are at least two, and are arranged alternately and uniformly along the circumference of the water passing disc 31. That is, there is one of the second marking portions 314 between two adjacent first marking portions 313, and the second marking portion 314 corresponds to the closed area on the water passing plate. In the embodiment, the first marking portions 313 and the second marking portions 314 are three.
[0044] The reference portion 21, the first marking portions 313 and the second marking portions 314 all extend along the first direction A, and are at least one of a protrusion, a groove and a marking line.
[0045] For example, the reference portion 21 is a marking line, and the first marking portions 313 and the second marking portions 314 are grooves. In order to distinguish the first marking portions 313 and the second marking portions 314, a protrusion or a strip groove or a marking line can be arranged in the groove corresponding to the first marking portion 313 or the groove corresponding to the second marking portion 314. In the embodiment, a strip groove is arranged in the groove corresponding to the first marking portion 313.
[0046] In other embodiments, the reference portion 21 can also be a groove or a protrusion, and the first marking portions 313 and the second marking portions 314 can be both protrusions or marking lines. In addition, the first marking portions 313 and the second marking portions 314 can also have different structures, for example, the first marking portions 313 are protrusions, and the second marking portions 314 are grooves or marking lines; or the first marking portions 313 are marking lines, and the second marking portions 314 are grooves or protrusions, and so on.
[0047] In order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating joint 3, a convex pattern is formed on the outer circumferential wall of the water passing disc 31, and the outer circumferential wall of the water passing disc 31 is used as a rotating handle.
[0048] In other embodiments, the rotating joint 3 can also be in the form of an integral piece. In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the rotary joint 3 further comprises a rotary ring 32 coaxially arranged with the water passage disc 31. The rotary ring 32 has a ring-shaped cross section. The water passage disc 31 is provided with a slot 315 extending along the first direction A on the side facing the connecting sleeve 2 for insertion of the rotary ring 32, so that the rotary ring 32 is mounted with the water passage disc 31 through the slot 315 and the insertion of the rotary ring 32. In the embodiment, the first mark 313 and the second mark 314 are both located on the outer peripheral wall of the water passage disc 31. The axis of the first mark 313, the center of the second water passage hole 312 and the center of the first water passage hole 311 are located on the same straight line when projected on the same plane along the first direction A.
[0049] In order to facilitate the insertion of the rotary ring 32 into the slot 315, one of the outer peripheral wall of the rotary ring 32 and the inner peripheral wall of the slot 315 is provided with a protrusion 3151, and the other is provided with a sliding groove 321 with one end open for the protrusion 3151 to slide into along the first direction A.
[0050] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the sliding groove 321 is located on the outer peripheral wall of the rotary ring 32, and the protrusion 3151 is located on the inner peripheral wall of the slot 315. Both the sliding groove 321 and the protrusion 3151 are in the shape of a triangular prism, and the opening of the sliding groove 321 is located on the edge of the rotary ring 32 close to the fixed seat 1. In other embodiments, the protrusion 3151 is located on the outer peripheral wall of the rotary ring 32, and the sliding groove 321 is located on the inner peripheral wall of the slot 315, and the opening of the sliding groove 321 is located on the edge of the slot 315 close to the connecting sleeve 2.
[0051] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 6 , both edges of the rotary ring 32 spaced apart along the first direction A are defined as the first edge 320. The axial dimension of the rotary ring 32 is L, the depth of the slot 315 along the first direction A is L1, the length of the sliding groove 321 on the rotary ring 32 is L2, and the distances L1, L2 and L satisfy the condition: L1 = 1 / 3L, L2 = 2 / 3L. That is, when the rotary ring 32 is inserted into the slot 315, part of the rotary ring 32 is located outside the water passage disc 31.
[0052] In addition, the thickness of the water passage disc 31 along the first direction A is L5, and L5 = 2 / 3L.
[0053] In order to realize the connection between the connecting sleeve 2 and the rotary joint 3, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , the inner peripheral wall of the connecting sleeve 2 is provided with a recess 22 for insertion of the side of the rotary ring 32 away from the water passage disc 31. In other embodiments, the rotary ring 32 is sleeved on the periphery of the connecting sleeve 2.
[0054] Further, a part of the sliding groove 321 on the rotating ring 32 located outside the water tray 31 is defined as a third mark part 3211. Along the first direction A, at least part of the third mark part 3211 is located between the reference part 21 and the corresponding first mark part 313, and is aligned with the corresponding first mark part 313.
[0055] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the second mark part 314 and the first mark part 313 except the one corresponding to the reference part 21 each correspond to a fourth mark part 322. The fourth mark part 322 is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the rotating ring 32, and at least part of the fourth mark part 322 is located between the water tray 31 and the reference part 21 along the first direction A.
[0056] Exemplarily, when the second water passing hole 312, the first mark part 313 and the second mark part 314 each have three, the fourth mark part 322 has five, and the five fourth mark parts 322 and the one third mark part 3211 are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the rotating ring 32, and the central angle between two adjacent fourth mark parts 322 is 60°, and the central angle between the third mark part 3211 and the adjacent fourth mark part 322 is 60°.
[0057] It can be understood that when the rotating joint 3 is in the first state (e.g. gear 1), the flow area of the water passing plate 11 is the largest, when the rotating joint 3 is rotated counterclockwise by 60°, the second mark part 314 is aligned with the reference part 21, the rotating joint 3 is in the second state (e.g. gear 2), and the flow area of the water passing plate 11 is smaller.
[0058] The fourth mark part 322 extends along the first direction A, and is one of a protrusion, a groove and a mark line. In the embodiment, the length of the third mark part 3211 along the first direction A is L3, L3 = 1 / 3L, and the distance between the fourth mark part 322 and the first edge 320 on the corresponding side is L4, L4 = 1 / 3L.
[0059] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the periphery of the water overflow plate 31 extends in a direction away from the connecting sleeve 2 to form an annular plate 316, which surrounds a cavity in which the water flow plate 11 is located, and the water overflow plate 31 is rotatably constrained on the annular plate 316. In addition, the fixed seat 1 further comprises an annular sleeve 12, which surrounds a plug-in port connected to the second pipeline. At least part of the annular sleeve 12 is located on the side of the water flow plate 11 away from the connecting sleeve 2. Exemplarily, the annular sleeve 12 is formed by extending the periphery of the water flow plate 11 in the first direction A away from the connecting sleeve 2. In other embodiments, the annular sleeve 12 can also be fixedly connected to the side of the water flow plate 11 away from the connecting sleeve 2.
[0060] In addition, the size of the rotary joint 3 can also be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0061] The application further discloses a pipeline system. The pipeline system is an energy storage liquid cooling pipeline system, and the pipeline system comprises a secondary pipeline, a tertiary pipeline, and the pipeline joint. The secondary pipeline is connected in communication with the tertiary pipeline through the pipeline joint. The secondary pipeline is the first pipeline, and the tertiary pipeline is the second pipeline. In this way, the fixed seat 1 is an outlet joint, and the connecting sleeve 2 is an inlet joint. In this way, the water flow of the tertiary pipeline can be changed according to actual needs, that is, the flow into the PACK can be adjusted.
[0062] By arranging the pipeline joint on each layer of PACK, the flow consistency of each layer of PACK can be ensured by rotating the rotary joint 3 in the pipeline joint, so that the temperature difference of the battery cell can be better controlled. The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict each other, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
[0063] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the patent application scope. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of the application should be subject to the appended claims.
