The first liquid inlet flow channel 1227 is connected to the first sub-inlet 1221 at one end and connected to one end of the first cooling part 1230 at the other end. The first liquid outlet flow channel 1228 is connected to the first sub-outlet 1222 at one end and connected to the other end of the first cooling part 1230 at the other end.
[0042] Specifically, the third liquid cooling plate 123 and the first liquid cooling plate 121 are arranged in the same layer and in a spaced manner along a first direction Z. The third liquid cooling plate 123 includes a second inlet 1231 and a second outlet 1232. The first liquid inlet flow channel 1227 is connected to the first sub-inlet 1221 at one end and connected to the second inlet 1231 at the other end. The first liquid outlet flow channel 1228 is connected to the first sub-outlet 1222 at one end and connected to the second outlet 1232 at the other end. The second cooling part 1229 is connected to the second sub-inlet 1223 at one end and connected to the second sub-outlet 1224 at the other end.
[0043] The one end of the first liquid inlet channel 1227 and the first sub-inlet 1221, the one end of the first liquid outlet channel 1228 and the first sub-outlet 1222 can be connected by pipelines. It can be understood that, in the embodiment, the one end of the first liquid inlet channel 1227 is connected with the first sub-inlet 1221, the other end of the first liquid inlet channel 1227 is connected with the second inlet 1231, the one end of the first liquid outlet channel 1228 is connected with the first sub-outlet 1222, and the other end of the first liquid outlet channel 1228 is connected with the second outlet 1232, so that the cooling liquid can be transported from the second liquid cooling plate 122 to the third liquid cooling plate 123. The second liquid inlet channel 12291 and the second liquid outlet channel 12292 can be used as transition pipelines, so that the flow path of the cooling liquid is more simple, the need for curved or excessively long pipelines in the related art is reduced, the space occupied by the pipelines can be significantly reduced, and the space utilization rate inside the battery pack 1 is improved.
[0044] In addition, the cooling liquid can be uniformly distributed between the second liquid cooling plate 122 and the third liquid cooling plate 123, which is very important for effective cooling of the multi-layer structure, avoids the phenomenon of overcooling or overheating of some cooling plates, and ensures the overall cooling effect of the liquid cooling module 12.
[0045] It should be noted that the first direction is the Z direction in the battery module 11, that is, Figure 1 the height direction of the battery module 11 in the battery pack 1, the second direction is the X direction in the battery module 11, that is, Figure 1 the length direction of the battery module 11 in the battery pack 1, and the third direction is the Y direction in the battery module 11, that is, Figure 1 the width direction of the battery module 11 in the battery pack 1. Figure 1 Figure 1 Figure 1 the width direction of the battery module 11 in the battery pack 1.
[0046] Please continue to combine Figure 1 to Figure 5 ; in an embodiment, the second cooling part 1229 includes a second liquid inlet channel 12291, a second liquid outlet channel 12292, and a plurality of first liquid cooling channels 12293 arranged in parallel; one end of the second liquid inlet channel 12291 is connected with the second sub-inlet 1223, the other end of the second liquid inlet channel 12291 is in communication with one end of a plurality of first liquid cooling channels 12293, the other end of a plurality of first liquid cooling channels 12293 is in communication with one end of the second liquid outlet channel 12292, and the other end of the first liquid outlet channel 1228 is connected with the second sub-outlet 1224.
[0047] It can be understood that the embodiment optimizes the flow path of the cooling liquid in the second liquid cooling plate 122 by arranging the second liquid inlet channel 12291, the second liquid outlet channel 12292, and a plurality of first liquid cooling channels 12293 in parallel. The second liquid inlet channel 12291 and the second liquid outlet channel 12292 can effectively control the flow of the cooling liquid, which is uniformly distributed in each first liquid cooling channel 12293, and reduce the problem of high fluid resistance or unstable flow in a single channel, thereby achieving better fluid management.
[0048] Specifically, when the cooling liquid enters the second liquid inlet channel 12291 through the second sub-inlet 1223, the second liquid inlet channel 12291 can guide the cooling liquid to be uniformly distributed into each parallel first liquid cooling channel 12293, thereby avoiding excessive or insufficient flow in a certain first liquid cooling channel 12293, reducing the difference in resistance of the cooling liquid in different paths, and ensuring the balance of the outflow rate and flow of each channel. At the same time, the second liquid outlet channel 12292 can uniformly converge the cooling liquid in each first liquid inlet channel 1227 and discharge it from the second sub-outlet 1224, thereby achieving uniform flow of the cooling liquid in each liquid cooling plate and improving the overall heat dissipation effect and fluid balance of the system.
[0049] Please continue to combine Figure 1 to Figure 5 In an embodiment, the first cooling part 1230 includes a third liquid inlet channel 1233, a third liquid outlet channel 1234, and a plurality of second liquid cooling channels 1235 arranged in parallel. One end of the third liquid inlet channel 1233 is connected with the second inlet 1231, the other end of the third liquid inlet channel 1233 is in communication with one end of a plurality of second liquid cooling channels 1235, the other end of the plurality of second liquid cooling channels 1235 is in communication with one end of the third liquid outlet channel 1234, and the other end of the third liquid outlet channel 1234 is connected with the second outlet 1232.
[0050] It can be understood that the embodiment optimizes the flow path of the cooling liquid in the third liquid cooling plate 123 by arranging the first cooling part 1230 to include the second liquid inlet channel 12291, the second liquid outlet channel 12292, and a plurality of second liquid cooling channels 1235 arranged in parallel. The second liquid inlet channel 12291 and the second liquid outlet channel 12292 can effectively control the flow of the cooling liquid, which is uniformly distributed in each second liquid cooling channel 1235, and reduce the problem of high fluid resistance or unstable flow in a single channel, thereby achieving better fluid management.
[0051] Please continue to combineFigure 1 to Figure 5 ; the first liquid inlet flow channel 1227 is not communicated with the second liquid inlet flow channel 12291, and / or the first liquid outlet flow channel 1228 is not communicated with the second liquid outlet flow channel 12292.
[0052] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not make specific restrictions on the flow channel communication mode between the first liquid inlet flow channel 1227, the second liquid inlet flow channel 12291, the first liquid outlet flow channel 1228 and the second liquid outlet flow channel 12292, but in order to better illustrate the innovation of the present utility model, the present embodiment takes the first liquid inlet flow channel 1227 and the second liquid inlet flow channel 12291 not communicated, and the first liquid outlet flow channel 1228 and the second liquid outlet flow channel 12292 not communicated as an example to illustrate the technical scheme of the present utility model.
[0053] It can be understood that the present embodiment forms a separate circuit by setting the first liquid inlet flow channel 1227, the third liquid inlet flow channel 1233, the second liquid cooling flow channel 1235, the third liquid outlet flow channel 1234 and the first liquid outlet flow channel 1228, and forms a separate circuit by setting the second liquid inlet flow channel 12291, the first liquid cooling flow channel 12293 and the first liquid outlet flow channel 1228, thereby avoiding the cross and interference between different liquid flows, and ensuring that the cooling liquid flow in each circuit can be independently controlled.
[0054] Specifically, one end of the first liquid inlet flow channel 1227 is connected with the first sub-inlet 1221, and one end of the second liquid inlet flow channel 12291 is connected with the second sub-inlet 1223, thereby ensuring that the cooling liquid flows in different flow channels respectively, avoiding the mixing phenomenon of the cooling liquid flow, and making the operation of the liquid cooling module 12 more stable; at the same time, the first liquid inlet flow channel 1227 is not communicated with the second liquid inlet flow channel 12291, and the first liquid outlet flow channel 1228 is not communicated with the second liquid outlet flow channel 12292, which can avoid excessive fluid resistance or pressure drop in the second liquid cooling plate 122, and ensure that the flow rate and pressure in each flow channel of the cooling liquid in the second liquid cooling plate 122 remain uniform.
[0055] Please continue to combine Figure 1 to Figure 5 ; in an embodiment, the first liquid inlet flow channel 1227, the first liquid outlet flow channel 1228, the third liquid inlet flow channel 1233 and the third liquid outlet flow channel 1234 are all straight line type flow channel structures.
[0056] It can be understood that the straight flow channel structure can reduce the friction and resistance of the cooling liquid in the flow channel, ensure that the cooling liquid can smoothly pass through each flow channel, so that the cooling liquid can flow quickly with less energy consumption, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the whole system; and the design of the straight flow channel simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces the processing difficulty and cost brought by the complex flow channel design.
[0057] Please continue to combine Figure 1 to Figure 5 ; In an embodiment, the first liquid cooling plate 121 includes a first inlet 1211 and a first outlet 1212 connected in communication, the liquid cooling module 12 includes a plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124, a first joint pipe assembly 125 and a second joint pipe assembly 126; the fourth liquid cooling plate 124 is arranged on the side of the first liquid cooling plate 121 away from the first liquid cooling plate 121, a plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124 are arranged in a first direction Z, the fourth liquid cooling plate 124 includes a third inlet 1241 and a third outlet 1242, the first liquid cooling plate 121 and the fourth liquid cooling plate 124 are arranged in a spaced manner, and the area of the first liquid cooling plate 121 is smaller than the area of the fourth liquid cooling plate 124.
[0058] The first joint pipe assembly 125 is arranged at one end of a plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124; the second joint pipe assembly 126 is arranged at the other end of a plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124; wherein the first joint pipe assembly 125 connects the first inlet 1211, the first sub-inlet 1221, the second sub-inlet 1223 and the third inlet 1241, the second joint pipe assembly 126 connects the first outlet 1212, the first sub-outlet 1222, the second sub-outlet 1224 and the third outlet 1242, the first joint pipe assembly 125 and the second joint pipe assembly 126 can be arranged in a spaced manner along a second direction X, and the second direction X can be arranged at a right angle with the first direction Z.
[0059] The battery module 11 can include a plurality of battery cells 110, the battery cells 110 can be square battery cells 110, and a plurality of battery cells 110 can be arranged in a third direction Y; wherein the third direction Y can be arranged at a right angle with the first direction Z.
[0060] Along the second direction X, both ends of the battery module 11 are provided with end plates 15, and a plurality of ventilation openings 151 are formed in the end plates 15, which penetrate the end plates 15 along the third direction Y. It can be understood that the ventilation openings 151 are designed to allow air or cooling gas to flow freely along the third direction Y, thereby effectively taking away the heat of the battery module 11, and keeping the working temperature of the battery module 11 within a safe range during high-power output or long-time work, avoiding performance degradation or thermal runaway caused by overheating.
[0061] Specifically, the battery pack 1 includes a plurality of first battery modules 111 and a second battery module 112, the plurality of first battery modules 111 are arranged at intervals along the first direction Z, and one first battery module 111 is arranged between two adjacent fourth liquid cooling plates 124. The second battery module 112 is arranged above the first battery module 111, and the second battery module 112 is arranged between the fourth liquid cooling plate 124 and the first liquid cooling plate 121. Adjacent two fourth liquid cooling plates 124 can be located at the top and bottom of the first battery module 111 respectively, realizing double-sided cooling of the first battery module 111. The fourth liquid cooling plate 124 and the first liquid cooling plate 121 can be located at the top and bottom of the second battery module 112 respectively, realizing double-sided cooling of the second battery module 112. This design enables the cooling liquid to effectively cover the entire surface of the first battery module 111 and the second battery module 112, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of heat dissipation, preventing overheating in local areas of the battery pack 1, and improving the overall thermal management capability.
[0062] It should be noted that the first joint pipe assembly 125 is arranged at one end of the plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124, which means that the first joint pipe assembly 125 is arranged at one end close to the third inlet 1241 of the fourth liquid cooling plate 124. The second joint pipe assembly 126 is arranged at the other end of the plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124, which means that the second joint pipe assembly 126 is arranged at one end close to the third outlet 1242 of the fourth liquid cooling plate 124.
[0063] It can be understood that the embodiment can realize layered cooling by arranging a plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124 along the first direction Z, and arranging the first liquid cooling plate 121 above the fourth liquid cooling plate 124, thereby achieving effective heat dissipation of the battery modules 11 at different heights in the battery pack 1. The first joint pipe assembly 125 connects the first inlet 1211, the first sub-inlet 1221, the second sub-inlet 1223, and the third inlet 1241. The second joint pipe assembly 126 connects the first outlet 1212, the first sub-outlet 1222, the second sub-outlet 1224, and the third outlet 1242, thereby connecting the plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124, the first liquid cooling plate 121, the second liquid cooling plate 122, and the third liquid cooling plate 123 in parallel, thereby improving the flow uniformity and temperature control ability of the cooling liquid.
[0064] In addition, the area of the first liquid cooling plate 121 is smaller than that of the fourth liquid cooling plate 124, which can effectively save the space inside the battery pack 1, and adapt to the arrangement in the multi-layer battery pack 1, especially in the case of height limitation in the first direction Z. The larger area of the fourth liquid cooling plate 124 can be used to cool the main area of the battery pack 1, and the smaller area of the first liquid cooling plate 121 can be used to cool the upper area of the battery pack 1. This design provides a more flexible temperature control scheme, which helps to achieve uniform temperature distribution and reduce the risk of local overheating.
[0065] At the same time, by arranging a plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124, the first liquid cooling plate 121, and the second liquid cooling plate 122 along the first direction Z, the close stacking between the cooling plates is avoided, the pipe arrangement is more flexible, the available space in the battery pack 1 is effectively utilized, and the complex pipe connection and layout pressure is reduced.
[0066] And, the first joint pipeline assembly 125 connects the first inlet 1211, the first sub-inlet 1221, the second sub-inlet 1223, and the third inlet 1241, and the second joint pipeline assembly 126 connects the first outlet 1212, the first sub-outlet 1222, the second sub-outlet 1224, and the third outlet 1242, so that the plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124, the first liquid cooling plate 121, and the second liquid cooling plate 122 form a layered cooling structure arranged in parallel, so that the liquid cooling module 12 can be applied to a more complex multi-layer battery module 11 stacking structure; in addition, the parallel design not only improves the cooling efficiency of the liquid cooling module 12, but also reduces the influence caused by the performance difference of the single-layer liquid cooling plate, ensures that the cooling liquid can flow smoothly through the multi-layer liquid cooling plate, and ensures the temperature consistency of the entire battery pack 1.
[0067] Please continue to combine Figure 1 to Figure 5 In an embodiment, the plurality of fourth liquid cooling plates 124, the first liquid cooling plate 121, and the second liquid cooling plate 122 are arranged in the first direction Z; the area of the second liquid cooling plate 122 is equal to the area of the first liquid cooling plate 121; the battery pack 1 includes a third battery module 113, and one of the third battery modules 113 is arranged between the first liquid cooling plate 121 and the second liquid cooling plate 122.
[0068] It can be understood that, by arranging the first liquid cooling plate 121 and the second liquid cooling plate 122 at the top and bottom of the third battery module 113 respectively, the double-sided cooling of the third battery module 113 is realized, so that the cooling liquid can effectively cover the entire surface of the third battery module 113, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of heat dissipation, preventing overheating phenomenon in the local area of the battery pack 1, and improving the overall thermal management capability.
[0069] Specifically, the battery pack 1 includes a third battery module 113, and one of the third battery modules 113 is arranged between the first liquid cooling plate 121 and the second liquid cooling plate 122. By arranging the first liquid cooling plate 121 and the second liquid cooling plate 122 at the top and bottom of the third battery module 113 respectively, the double-sided cooling of the third battery module 113 is realized, so that the cooling liquid can effectively cover the entire surface of the third battery module 113, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of heat dissipation, preventing overheating phenomenon in the local area of the battery pack 1, and improving the overall thermal management capability.
[0070] In addition, the plurality of first liquid cooling channels 12293 arranged in parallel enables the cooling liquid to pass through the liquid cooling plate more quickly, expands the cooling surface area of the second liquid cooling plate 122 in contact with the third battery module 113, and effectively improves the cooling efficiency; and since the plurality of first liquid cooling channels 12293 are arranged in parallel, the cooling liquid can be evenly distributed in each of the first liquid cooling channels 12293, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of local overheating or uneven cooling of the third battery module 113.
