[0003] In related technologies, heat exchange components are often installed inside the battery box to balance the temperature of the individual battery cells so that the battery device can operate stably. However, the heat exchange components are prone to leakage during operation and are easily damaged by external forces, which can lead to battery device failure and affect the reliability of the battery device. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a battery device and an electrical device that can improve the problems of leakage of heat exchange components and easy damage of heat exchange components under external force, thereby improving the reliability of the battery device.

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a battery device, comprising: a housing including side beams, wherein multiple side beams are connected end to end to form a receiving space; a battery cell disposed within the receiving space; and a heat exchange assembly including a heat exchange mechanism and a heat collection cavity, wherein the heat exchange mechanism is disposed within the receiving space and is thermally connected to the battery cell, wherein the heat collection cavity is disposed within at least one side beam, the heat collection cavity is used to contain a heat exchange medium, and the heat exchange mechanism is connected to the heat collection cavity.

[0006] In the embodiment of this application, the battery device includes a housing, battery cells, and a heat exchange assembly. The housing includes side beams, and multiple side beams are connected end to end to form a receiving space. The heat exchange assembly includes a heat exchange mechanism and a collector cavity. The heat exchange mechanism and battery cells are disposed within the receiving space. The heat exchange mechanism and battery cells are thermally connected to regulate the temperature of the battery cells. The collector cavity for receiving the heat exchange medium is disposed within at least one side beam. The heat exchange mechanism is connected to the collector cavity so that the heat exchange medium can flow between the collector cavity and the heat exchange mechanism. By integrating the collector cavity into the side beam, there is no need to set up an independent collector pipe in the housing, which improves the risk of heat exchange medium leakage in the collector cavity. Furthermore, by integrating the collector cavity into the frame, the stability of the collector cavity is improved, the risk of damage to the collector cavity under external force is reduced, and the reliability of the battery device is improved.

[0007] In some embodiments, the side beam includes a first beam and a second beam connected to each other, the second beam being disposed on the side of the first beam facing the battery cell, and the current collector being disposed within the second beam.

[0008] In the embodiment of this application, the second beam is disposed on the side of the first beam facing the battery cell, and the current collection cavity is disposed in the second beam. The second beam is separated from the external environment by the first beam, which reduces the risk of leakage of heat exchange medium in the current collection cavity when external force is applied to the outer wall of the housing, and improves the reliability of the heat exchange components and battery device.

[0009] In some embodiments, the housing further includes a base plate, a side beam connected to one side of the base plate in its thickness direction, and a second beam disposed at one end of the first beam near the base plate.

[0010] In the embodiment of this application, the box body also includes a bottom plate, a side beam is connected to one side of the bottom plate in its thickness direction, and a second beam is disposed at the end of the first beam near the bottom plate to lower the center of gravity of the first beam and improve the connection stability between the first beam and the bottom plate.

[0011] In some embodiments, the heat exchange mechanism includes a body and a connecting pipe. The body and the battery cell are thermally connected. The connecting pipe includes a first end and a second end that are disposed opposite to each other. The first end is connected to the body, and the second end is connected to the collector cavity. A second beam is disposed between the first end and the base plate.

[0012] In the embodiment of this application, the heat exchange mechanism includes a body and a connecting pipe. The body and the battery cell are thermally connected to regulate the temperature of the battery cell. The connecting pipe includes a first end that communicates with the body and a second end that communicates with the collector cavity. The second beam is disposed between the first end and the bottom plate. After the heat exchange mechanism is installed in the housing, the second end of the connecting pipe can extend toward the bottom plate to communicate with the collector cavity, which reduces the difficulty of connecting the heat exchange mechanism and the collector cavity.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connecting pipe is connected to the manifold via the side surface of the second beam away from the bottom plate.

[0014] In the embodiment of this application, the connecting pipe is connected to the flow collection cavity through the surface of the second beam away from the bottom plate, so as to reduce the assembly difficulty of the connecting pipe and the second beam, shorten the size of the connecting pipe, and reduce the cost of the heat exchange component.

[0015] In some embodiments, the manifold includes two sub-chambers disposed at a distance within the second beam, and the two sub-chambers are connected to the same end of the heat exchange mechanism in its extension direction.

[0016] In the embodiment of this application, the current collector includes two sub-chambers spaced apart within the second beam, so that the heat exchange medium can be input into the heat exchange mechanism from one sub-chamber and output from the heat exchange mechanism to the other sub-chamber. The two sub-chambers are connected to the same end of the heat exchange mechanism in its extension direction, which helps to reduce the overall size of the heat exchange mechanism in its extension direction and improve the internal space utilization of the battery device.

[0017] In some embodiments, multiple side beams are connected end to end in a direction perpendicular to the first direction to form a receiving space. The heat exchange mechanism includes a body and a connecting pipe. The body and the battery cell are thermally connected. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the body, and the other end extends along the first direction and is connected to the collector cavity.

[0018] In the embodiment of this application, the heat exchange mechanism includes a body and a connecting pipe. One end of the connecting pipe is connected to the body, and the other end extends along the first direction and is connected to the collection cavity. The body and the collection cavity have a larger operating space in the first direction, which can reduce the difficulty of connecting the heat exchange mechanism and the frame.

[0019] In some embodiments, the housing includes a connector that connects to and protrudes from the surface of the side beam, and a connecting pipe is connected to the connector to communicate the manifold and the body.

[0020] In the embodiment of this application, the connector is connected to the side beam and protrudes from the surface of the side beam. The connecting pipe is connected to the connector to connect the flow collection cavity and the main body. The connector protruding from the surface of the side beam will not occupy the space of the flow collection cavity, and will reduce the assembly difficulty of the connector and the connecting pipe, making it convenient to match the connector and the connecting pipe.

[0021] In some embodiments, the heat exchange assembly further includes a seal disposed between the connecting pipe and the connector.

[0022] In the embodiments of this application, a seal is disposed between the connecting pipe and the connector to improve the sealing performance between the connecting pipe and the connector and reduce the risk of leakage of the heat exchange component.

[0023] In some embodiments, the length of the connecting pipe is adjustable, and / or the connecting pipe is flexible.

[0024] In the embodiments of this application, the length of the connecting pipe is adjustable so that the heat exchange component can be adapted to battery cells of different sizes, thereby improving the compatibility of the heat exchange component; and / or the connecting pipe is flexible to absorb the processing errors of the connecting pipe and the side beam, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the heat exchange mechanism and the collector cavity.

These embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application and are therefore merely examples, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this application should have the ordinary meaning understood by those skilled in the art to which the embodiments of this application pertain.

[0046] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the technical terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the embodiments of this application.

[0047] Furthermore, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. In the description of the embodiments of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly defined.

[0048] In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the technical terms such as "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0050] Currently, judging from market trends, the application of battery devices is becoming increasingly widespread. Battery devices are not only used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power, and solar power plants, but also widely applied in electric vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric cars, as well as in military equipment and aerospace. With the continuous expansion of battery device applications, market demand is also constantly increasing.

[0051] In related technologies, heat exchange components are often installed inside the battery box to balance the temperature of the individual battery cells so that the battery device can operate stably. However, the heat exchange components are prone to leakage during operation and are easily damaged by external forces.

[0052] The above problems are due to the fact that the heat exchange components include a heat exchange medium input to each heat exchange mechanism and a manifold that carries the heat exchange medium output from the heat exchange mechanism. The manifold is independent of the heat exchange mechanism and the side beam. When the box is subjected to external impact, the manifold is also prone to deformation and damage due to the external impact. In addition, the manifold is spliced ​​from multiple connecting pipes, and leakage is prone to occur at its splicing surface.

[0053] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a battery device comprising a housing, individual battery cells, and a heat exchange assembly. The housing includes side beams connected end-to-end to form a receiving space. The heat exchange assembly includes a heat exchange mechanism and a collector cavity. The heat exchange mechanism and individual battery cells are disposed within the receiving space, and are thermally connected to regulate the temperature of the individual battery cells. A collector cavity for receiving the heat exchange medium is disposed within at least one side beam, and the heat exchange mechanism is connected to the collector cavity to allow the heat exchange medium to circulate between the collector cavity and the heat exchange mechanism. By integrating the collector cavity into the side beam, there is no need to additionally install a separate collector pipe within the housing, thus reducing the risk of heat exchange medium leakage within the collector cavity. Furthermore, by integrating the collector cavity into the frame, the stability of the collector cavity is improved, the risk of damage to the collector cavity under external forces is reduced, and the reliability of the battery device is enhanced.

[0054] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of this application are applicable to battery devices and electrical devices that use battery devices.

The current collector includes a positive current-collecting section and a positive electrode tab connected to it. The current-collecting section is coated with the positive active material layer, while the tab is not. Taking a lithium-ion battery as an example, the positive current collector can be made of aluminum, and the positive active material layer includes the positive active material, which can be lithium cobalt oxide, lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium, or lithium manganese oxide, etc. The negative electrode sheet includes a negative current collector and a negative active material layer, the negative active material layer being coated on the surface of the negative current collector.

[0072] In some embodiments, the housing 202 may be part of the vehicle's chassis structure. For example, a portion of the housing 202 may be at least a portion of the vehicle's floor, or a portion of the housing 202 may be at least a portion of the vehicle's crossbeams and longitudinal beams.

[0073] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a battery module 201 according to an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, there are multiple battery cells 3. These multiple battery cells 3 are first connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed manner to form a battery module 201. The multiple battery modules 201 are then connected in series, parallel, or in a mixed manner to form a whole, which is housed in the casing 202.

The portions of the positive and negative electrode sheets containing active material constitute the electrode body 72, while the portions of the positive and negative electrode sheets without active material each constitute a tab 71. The positive and negative tabs can be located together at one end of the electrode body 72 or separately at both ends of the electrode body 72. During the charging and discharging process of the battery cell 3, the positive and negative active materials react with the electrolyte, and the tabs 71 connect to the electrode terminals to form a current loop.

[0089] In the embodiment of this application, the battery device 2 includes a housing 202, a battery cell 3, and a heat exchange assembly 5. The housing 202 includes side beams 4, and multiple side beams 4 are connected end to end to form a receiving space 2023.

The heat exchange mechanism 51 and the battery cell 3 are thermally connected to regulate the temperature of the battery cell 3. The collector cavity 52 for containing the heat exchange medium is disposed within at least one side beam 4. The heat exchange mechanism 51 is connected to the collector cavity 52 so that the heat exchange medium can flow between the collector cavity 52 and the heat exchange mechanism 51. By integrating the collector cavity 52 into the side beam 4, there is no need to set up an independent collector pipe in the housing 202, which improves the risk of heat exchange medium leakage in the collector cavity 52. ​​Furthermore, by integrating the collector cavity 52 into the frame, the stability of the collector cavity 52 is improved, the risk of damage to the collector cavity 52 under external force is reduced, and the reliability of the battery device 2 is improved.

[0090] The box body 202 includes multiple side beams 4. The number of side beams 4 can be designed by the user. For example, four side beams 4 are spaced apart along the length and width of the box body 202 to form a receiving space 2023, or five, six or eight equal side beams 4 are connected end to end to form a receiving space 2023.

[0091] The heat exchange assembly 5 includes a heat exchange mechanism 51 and a collector cavity 52. ​​The heat exchange mechanism 51 and the battery cell 3 are disposed within the accommodating space 2023. When the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the battery cell 3 are thermally connected, the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the battery cell 3 are in direct contact, or the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the battery cell 3 are spaced apart. The heat exchange mechanism 51 and the battery cell 3 are connected through a thermally conductive medium, which can be a thermally conductive colloid, air, or metal, etc.

[0092] For example, multiple battery cells 3 are arranged in rows and columns along the second direction Y and the third direction Z. The heat exchange mechanism 51 extends along the second direction Y and is thermally connected to the battery cells 3. A flow collection cavity 52 is provided in the side beam 4 at the end of the housing 202 in the second direction Y to shorten the distance between the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the flow collection cavity 52 and facilitate the connection between the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the flow collection cavity 52; or the heat exchange mechanism 51 extends along the third direction Z and is thermally connected to the battery cells 3. A flow collection cavity 52 is provided in the side beam 4 at the end of the housing 202 in the third direction Z to shorten the distance between the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the flow collection cavity 52 and facilitate the connection between the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the flow collection cavity 52.

[0093] The housing 202 includes multiple side beams 4, and at least two collection cavities 52 are arranged at intervals in these multiple side beams 4. The heat exchange medium is input into the heat exchange mechanism 51 through one collection cavity 52 and exchanges heat with the battery cell 3. Then the heat exchange medium is output into the other collection cavity 52 through the heat exchange mechanism 51.

[0094] The side beam 4 is equipped with an input mechanism and an output mechanism. The input mechanism and the output mechanism are respectively connected to a flow collection cavity 52. ​​The heat exchange medium is input into the flow collection cavity 52 by the input mechanism, and the heat exchange medium in the flow collection cavity 52 is output to the outside by the output mechanism.

[0095] Optionally, the shape and dimensions of the flow collector 52 inside the side beam 4 and the capacity of the heat exchange medium inside the flow collector 52 can be designed independently. For example, the flow collector 52 can be cylindrical or cubic. The heat exchange medium can be water, ethanol, ethylene glycol, etc.

[0096] For example, the side beam 4 is a hollow column formed by bending a base material, and the hollow cavity of the side beam 4 is directly used as the flow collection cavity 52 to reduce the difficulty of setting up the flow collection cavity 52; or a separate containment structure for containing the heat exchange medium is set in the hollow cavity of the side beam 4, and the containment structure is fixed to the side beam 4 to reduce the risk of heat exchange medium leakage.

[0097] Optionally, a heat exchange medium can flow between the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the collection chamber 52 to make the side beam 4 and the heat exchange mechanism 51 conductive. This eliminates the need for additional independent conductive components and achieves equipotential between the side beam 4 and the heat exchange mechanism 51, thereby reducing the material cost of the battery device 2.

[0098] Optionally, in related technologies, multiple connecting pipes are spliced ​​together to form a complete current collector. Due to the size of the connecting pipes, the thickness of a single battery cell 3 cannot be made too thin. Therefore, in this embodiment, the current collector 52 is integrated into the side beam 4, so that the size of the connecting pipes no longer limits the thickness of the battery cell 3, and the heat exchange component 5 of this embodiment can accommodate battery cells 3 with greater thickness.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the side beam 4 includes a first beam 41 and a second beam 42 that are connected to each other. The second beam 42 is located on the side of the first beam 41 facing the battery cell 3, and the current collector 52 is located inside the second beam 42.

[0100] In these embodiments, the second beam 42 is disposed on the side of the first beam 41 facing the battery cell 3, and the current collection cavity 52 is disposed inside the second beam 42. The first beam 41 separates the second beam 42 from the external environment, reducing the risk of heat exchange medium leakage in the current collection cavity 52 when external force acts on the outer wall of the housing 202, and improving the reliability of the heat exchange assembly 5 and the battery device 2.

[0101] Optionally, the first beam 41 and the second beam 42 are integrally formed to enhance the structural strength of the side beam 4; or the first beam 41 and the second beam 42 are welded together to facilitate adjustment of the dimensions of the first beam 41 and the second beam 42.

[0102] The dimensions of the first beam 41 and the second beam 42 can be designed independently. The second beam 42 is located on the side of the first beam 41 facing the battery cell 3. When the current collection cavity 52 is located on the second beam 42, the first beam 41 separates the current collection cavity 52 from the external environment. In this way, when the outside of the battery device 2 is impacted during use and transportation, the risk of damage and leakage of the current collection cavity 52 is reduced.

[0103] For example, four side beams 4 are connected end to end to form a housing space 2023, and four first beams 41 are connected end to end to form a housing space 2023. Two first beams 41 are arranged on the side of the two or one first beams 41 facing the battery cell 3, so as to save the internal space of the box 202 and improve the energy density of the battery device 2.

[0104] Optionally, the box body 202 also includes a mounting beam, which is located on the side of the first beam 41 opposite to the second beam 42, and the box body 202 is mounted at the installation position via the mounting beam.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the box body 202 also includes a bottom plate 2024, a side beam 4 connected to one side of the bottom plate 2024 in its thickness direction, and a second beam 42 disposed at one end of the first beam 41 near the bottom plate 2024.

[0106] In these embodiments, the box body 202 also includes a bottom plate 2024, a side beam 4 connected to one side of the bottom plate 2024 in its thickness direction, and a second beam 42 disposed at one end of the first beam 41 near the bottom plate 2024 to lower the center of gravity of the first beam 41 and improve the connection stability between the first beam 41 and the bottom plate 2024.

[0107] Optionally, the second beam 42 is disposed at the end of the first beam 41 near the bottom plate 2024. The first beam 41 and the second beam 42 are connected to the bottom plate 2024 together to increase the contact area between the side beam 4 and the bottom plate 2024 and improve the stability of the side beam 4.

[0108] Optionally, the heat exchange mechanism 51 is connected to the side of the second beam 42 away from the bottom plate 2024 or the heat exchange mechanism 51 is connected to the side of the second beam 42 facing the battery cell 3.

[0109] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 7 yes Figure 5 Enlarged diagram of point A in the middle.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the heat exchange mechanism 51 includes a body 511 and a connecting pipe 512. The body 511 is thermally connected to the battery cell 3. The connecting pipe 512 includes a first end 5121 and a second end 5122 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first end 5121 is connected to the body 511, and the second end 5122 is connected to the collector cavity 52. ​​The second beam 42 is disposed between the first end 5121 and the base plate 2024.

[0111] In these embodiments, the heat exchange mechanism 51 includes a body 511 and a connecting pipe 512. The body 511 is thermally connected to the battery cell 3 to regulate the temperature of the battery cell 3. The connecting pipe 512 includes a first end 5121 that communicates with the body 511 and a second end 5122 that communicates with the collector cavity 52. ​​The second beam 42 is disposed between the first end 5121 and the base plate 2024. After the heat exchange mechanism 51 is installed in the housing 202, the second end 5122 of the connecting pipe 512 can extend toward the base plate 2024 to communicate with the collector cavity 52, which reduces the difficulty of connecting the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the collector cavity 52.

[0112] The heat exchange mechanism 51 includes a body 511 and a connecting pipe 512. The contact area between the body 511 and the battery cell 3 is larger than the contact area between the connecting pipe 512 and the battery cell 3, or in other words, the projected area of ​​the body 511 on the battery cell 3 is larger than the contact area of ​​the connecting pipe 512 on the battery cell 3, to facilitate heat exchange between the body 511 and the battery cell 3. The connecting pipe 512 is a rigid component, and an exemplary connecting pipe 512 is a metal pipe, to improve the reliability of the heat exchange mechanism 51; the connecting pipe 512 is also a flexible component, and an exemplary connecting pipe 512 is a flexible pipe, to facilitate communication between the body 511 and the manifold 52.

[0113] The second beam 42 is disposed at one end of the first beam 41 near the bottom plate 2024. The first end 5121 of the connecting pipe 512 is connected to the body 511. The second beam 42 is disposed between the first end 5121 and the bottom plate 2024 so that after the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the box 202 are assembled, the second end 5122 of the connecting pipe 512 can extend toward the bottom plate 2024 in the first direction X to communicate with the collection cavity 52 in the second beam 42.

[0114] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting pipe 512 is connected to the flow collection cavity 52 through the side surface of the second beam 42 away from the bottom plate 2024.

[0115] In these embodiments, the connecting pipe 512 is connected to the flow collection cavity 52 through the side surface of the second beam 42 away from the bottom plate 2024, so as to reduce the assembly difficulty of the connecting pipe 512 and the second beam 42, and shorten the size of the connecting pipe 512, thereby reducing the cost of the heat exchange assembly 5.

[0116] Optionally, in the direction from the first beam 41 to the battery cell 3, the extension dimension of the second beam 42 is between 5mm and 30mm, so that the surface of the second beam 42 facing the base plate 2024 can be easily connected to the connecting pipe 512. For example, the extension dimension of the second beam 42 is 5mm, 10mm, 20mm or 30mm, etc.

[0117] Please see Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a battery device provided in another embodiment of this application.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the flow collection cavity 52 includes two sub-chambers 521, which are spaced apart within the second beam 42 and are connected to the same end of the heat exchange mechanism 51 in its extension direction.

[0119] In these embodiments, the collector cavity 52 includes two sub-chambers 521 spaced apart within the second beam 42, so that the heat exchange medium can be input into the heat exchange mechanism 51 from one sub-chamber 521 and the heat exchange medium can be output from the heat exchange mechanism 51 to the other sub-chamber 521. The two sub-chambers 521 are connected to the same end of the heat exchange mechanism 51 in its extension direction, which helps to reduce the overall size of the heat exchange mechanism 51 in its extension direction, thereby improving the internal space utilization of the battery device 2.

[0120] The heat exchange mechanism 51 includes a main body 511 and two connecting pipes 512, which are used for inputting and outputting heat exchange medium, respectively. Two sub-chambers 521 are set in the collection chamber 52, and each sub-chamber 521 is connected to the main body 511 through an independent connecting pipe 512, so that the heat exchange medium can flow between the sub-chambers 521, the connecting pipes 512 and the main body 511. In this way, only one side beam 4 needs to be set to reduce the difficulty of setting the side beam 4, and the size of the second side beam 4 near the end of the side beam 4 near the main body 511 where the connecting pipes 512 are not set can be reduced, so as to increase the internal space size of the box 202.

[0121] Optionally, the first ends 5121 of the two connecting pipes 512 are spaced apart along the first direction X, the side beam 4 extends along the second direction Y, and the two sub-chambers 521 are spaced apart along the third direction Z, or the side beam 4 extends along the third direction Z, the two sub-chambers 521 are spaced apart along the second direction Y, and the two sub-chambers 521 are respectively connected to one connecting pipe 512.

One end of the connecting pipe 512 is connected to the body 511, and the other end extends along the first direction X and is connected to the collection cavity 52. ​​The body 511 and the collection cavity 52 have a larger operating space in the first direction X, which can reduce the difficulty of connecting the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the frame.

[0124] Optionally, multiple side beams 4 are connected end-to-end along a straight line parallel to the first direction X to form an accommodating space 2023. The parallelism and perpendicularity in this embodiment are not strictly geometric, but should conform to current industrial contexts and may allow for certain processing errors.

[0125] Optionally, the housing 202 also includes a base plate 2024, and the side beam 4 is connected to the base plate 2024. The first direction X can be the thickness direction of the base plate 2024.

[0126] The heat exchange mechanism 51 includes a body 511 and a connecting pipe 512. The contact area between the body 511 and the battery cell 3 is larger than the contact area between the connecting pipe 512 and the battery cell 3. In other words, the projected area of ​​the body 511 on the battery cell 3 is larger than the contact area of ​​the connecting pipe 512 on the battery cell 3, so as to facilitate heat exchange between the body 511 and the battery cell 3.

[0127] For example, the body 511 is plate-shaped, and the connecting pipe 512 is connected to the end of the plate-shaped body 511.

[0128] The connecting pipe 512 is a rigid component, and the exemplary connecting pipe 512 is a metal pipe, in order to improve the reliability of the heat exchange mechanism 51; the connecting pipe 512 is a flexible component, and the exemplary connecting pipe 512 is a flexible pipe, in order to facilitate the connection between the body 511 and the collection cavity 52.

[0129] The battery cells 3 are arranged in an array along the second direction Y and the third direction Z. The connecting pipes 512 are connected to both ends of the body 511 in the second direction Y. The connecting pipes 512 extend vertically along the first direction X, or the connecting pipes 512 extend along the first direction X and are inclined along the second direction Y or the third direction Z.

[0130] Optionally, the first end 5121 of the connecting pipe 512 is welded or threaded to the body 511; the second end 5122 of the connecting pipe 512 is welded or threaded to the side beam 4.

The connecting pipe 512 is connected to the connector 2025 to connect the collection cavity 52 and the body 511. The connector 2025 protruding from the surface of the side beam 4 does not occupy the space of the collection cavity 52, and reduces the assembly difficulty of the connector 2025 and the connecting pipe 512, making it convenient for the connector 2025 and the connecting pipe 512 to match.

[0134] The connector 2025 and the side beam 4 are integrally formed to improve the structural strength of the connector 2025 and the side beam 4; or the connector 2025 and the side beam 4 are welded or threaded separately to facilitate adjustment of the size of the connector 2025.

[0138] Optionally, the connector 2025 and the connecting pipe 512 are threaded together to improve the connection reliability of the connector 2025 and the connecting pipe 512.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the heat exchange assembly 5 also includes a seal 53, which is disposed between the connecting pipe 512 and the connector 2025.

[0140] In these embodiments, a seal 53 is disposed between the connecting pipe 512 and the connector 2025 to improve the sealing performance between the connecting pipe 512 and the connector 2025 and reduce the risk of leakage of the heat exchange assembly 5.

[0141] For example, the connecting pipe 512 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connector 2025, and the sealing member 53 is disposed between the outer surface of the connector 2025 and the inner surface of the connecting pipe 512.

[0142] For example, the seal 53 is a sealing ring or sealing gel, etc.

[0143] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the length of the connecting pipe 512 is adjustable, and / or the connecting pipe 512 is flexible.

[0144] In these embodiments, the length of the connecting pipe 512 is adjustable so that the heat exchange assembly 5 can be adapted to battery cells 3 of different sizes, thereby improving the compatibility of the heat exchange assembly 5; and / or the connecting pipe 512 is flexible to absorb the processing errors of the connecting pipe 512 and the side beam 4, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the heat exchange mechanism 51 and the collector cavity 52.

[0146] For example, the length of the connecting pipe 512 in the first direction X is adjustable so that various battery cells 3 of different sizes in the first direction X can be accommodated by adjusting the length of the connecting pipe 512 in the first direction X.
