[0017] The beneficial effects of the cooling device and battery box provided in this embodiment of the invention include:

[0018] The cooling device of this utility model includes a housing. A flow channel is provided inside the housing. An air inlet communicating with the flow channel is provided on the housing. A heat exchange component is also provided inside the housing. A heat exchange surface is provided on the heat exchange component.

[0033] First Embodiment

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooling device 100 provided by this utility model is applied to the battery box 1000. The cooling device 100 is installed inside the battery box 1000 and is used to cool the electrical components 500 of the battery box 1000.

[0035] The cooling device 100 includes a housing 10. A flow channel 11 is provided inside the housing 10. An air inlet 14 communicating with the flow channel 11 is provided on the housing 10. A heat exchanger is also provided inside the housing 10. A heat exchange surface 122 is provided on the heat exchanger. The heat exchange surface 122 is used to contact an external heat exchange device so that the gas in the flow channel 11 exchanges heat with the heat exchange device. The cooling device 100 also includes an exhaust port 31 communicating with the flow channel 11. The exhaust port 31 is used to discharge the gas that has undergone heat exchange through the flow channel 11.

[0036] Understandably, the cooling device 100 is installed inside the battery box 1000. Gas inside the battery box 1000 enters the flow channel 11 through the air inlet 14. Within the flow channel 11, the gas exchanges heat with an external heat exchange device, causing it to cool down. The exhaust vent 31 is used to discharge the cooled gas, directing it towards other equipment within the battery box 1000 to further cool the equipment.

[0037] Specifically, the cooling device 100 also includes an exhaust hood 30. The exhaust hood 30 is connected to the housing 10 via an air guide pipe 20. An exhaust chamber is provided inside the exhaust hood 30. An exhaust port 31 is provided on the exhaust hood 30. The two ends of the air guide pipe 20 are respectively connected to the exhaust chamber and the guide channel 11. An exhaust fan 21 is provided inside the air guide pipe 20.

[0038] Understandably, after the gas in the guide channel 11 is cooled, it is drawn into the guide pipe 20 by the exhaust fan 21, enters the exhaust hood 30 through the guide pipe 20, and is finally blown out from the exhaust port 31. In addition, the exhaust fan 21 is also used to provide power for the gas to enter the guide channel 11 from the air inlet 14.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 10 is elongated. Air inlets 14 are provided at both ends of the housing 10. A duct 20 is connected to the middle of the housing 10 and positioned above it. An exhaust hood 30 is connected above the duct 20. It can be understood that the gas inside the battery box 1000 enters the flow channel 11 from the air inlets 14 at both ends of the housing 10, moves towards the duct 20 in the middle, then moves from the lower part of the housing 10 to the upper part of the exhaust hood 30, and finally is blown out from the exhaust port 31.

[0040] By setting up the cooling device 100, the gas inside the battery box 1000 can be drawn in, cooled down by heat exchange in the flow channel 11, and finally blown out from the exhaust port 31 to cool down other components inside the battery box 1000, such as the electrical component 500. This can improve the overcurrent capacity of the fuse in the electrical component 500, so that the temperature of the fuse under its rated current does not reach the melting temperature and it is not easy to melt.

[0041] The housing 10 can be configured in different shapes as needed. In this embodiment, the housing 10 is elongated, with air inlets 14 at both ends, and the gas flows in opposite directions at both ends. In other embodiments, the housing 10 can be L-shaped, U-shaped, etc., so that the gas flows at both ends at an angle, or in other directions. As long as gas can enter the guide channel 11 for heat exchange, this invention does not limit the shape of the housing 10.

[0042] The air duct 20 can be set at different positions on the housing 10 as needed. In this embodiment, the air inlet 14 is set at both ends of the housing 10, and the air duct 20 is set in the middle of the housing 10. In other embodiments, the air inlet 14 can be set at one end of the housing 10, and the air duct 20 is connected to the other end of the housing 10. As long as gas can enter from the air inlet 14, exchange heat, and then be discharged from the air duct 20, the present invention does not limit the position of the air duct 20.

[0043] Optionally, the exhaust hood 30 can be configured in different shapes as needed. In this embodiment, the exhaust hood 30 is configured as a cylindrical structure, and the exhaust port 31 is configured as a rectangle to increase the air volume of the exhaust port 31. In other embodiments, the exhaust hood 30 and the exhaust port 31 can be configured in other shapes, such as circular shapes. As long as the gas can be discharged, the present invention does not limit the shape of the exhaust hood 30 and the exhaust port 31.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, the heat exchange component includes heat dissipation fins 12. One side of the plurality of heat dissipation fins 12 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. The other side of the heat dissipation fins 12 is provided with a heat exchange surface 122, and the plurality of heat dissipation fins 12 are spaced apart so that the flow channel 11 is blocked by the heat dissipation fins 12, forming a plurality of flow channels 121.

[0045] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation fins 12 are vertical plates. The top edge of the heat dissipation fins 12 is connected to the inner top wall of the housing 10, and the bottom edge of the heat dissipation fins 12 is provided with a heat exchange surface 122. The bottom of the housing 10 is configured as an opening so that the bottom edge of the heat dissipation fins 12 can directly contact the external heat exchange device.

[0046] It is understandable that the gas at both ends of the casing 10 enters the flow guiding cavity 121 through the air inlet and comes into contact with the surface of the heat dissipation fins 12. The bottom edge of the heat dissipation fins 12 then comes into contact with the external heat exchange device, thereby allowing the gas to exchange heat with the external heat exchange device and reducing the gas temperature.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, the spacing between the heat dissipation fins 12 is equal. In other embodiments, the spacing between the heat dissipation fins 12 may be unequal. This invention does not limit this aspect.

[0048] By setting multiple heat dissipation fins 12, the heat exchange surface area 122 between the gas and the heat exchange device is increased, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency of the gas.

[0049] Furthermore, multiple baffles 13 are provided between two adjacent heat dissipation fins 12, with the baffles 13 spaced apart. The baffles 13 divide the flow guiding cavity 121, forming multiple flow distribution cavities 131. It can be understood that the baffles 13 are horizontal plates. The baffles 13 divide a flow guiding cavity 121 into multiple flow distribution cavities 131 from top to bottom. By providing multiple baffles 13 between the heat dissipation fins 12, the airflow can be stabilized, preventing the airflow from flowing through the flow guiding channel 11 and affecting the heat exchange effect.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the volume of the flow distribution cavity 131 increases sequentially along the direction away from the heat exchange surface 122. It can be understood that the volume of the flow distribution cavity 131 between two adjacent heat dissipation fins 12 increases sequentially from bottom to top. By setting the volume of the flow distribution cavity 131 to increase sequentially from bottom to top, and because the cooling capacity of the heat dissipation fins 12 decreases sequentially from bottom to top, the temperature of the gas entering the flow channel 11 decreases more uniformly.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the heat dissipation fins 12 are wavy. It is understood that the heat exchange surface 122 is used as a reference surface. The projection of the surface of the heat dissipation fins 12 onto the reference surface is a wavy line. By setting the heat dissipation fins 12 to a wavy shape, the gas makes multiple turns within the flow channel 11 in the direction from one air inlet to the other, increasing the contact area between the gas and the heat dissipation fins 12 and improving heat exchange efficiency. With the same gas flow path length, compared to setting the heat dissipation fins 12 as a straight plate, this embodiment shortens the length of the housing 10 along the line connecting the two air inlets.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An air guide shroud 40 is also provided at the air inlet 14. The air guide shroud 40 is connected to the housing 10. The air guide shroud 40 is used to guide the gas from the side of the housing 10 near the heat exchange surface 122 into the air inlet 14. Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the air guide shroud 40 is connected to the housing 10, and the other end of the air guide shroud 40 is provided with an opening facing downwards. The air guide shroud 40 is used to block the gas, so that the gas can only enter the air inlet 14 from the lower opening. It can be understood that the cooling device 100 is used to install at the bottom of the battery box 1000. Since the density of cold air is higher than that of hot air, cold air generally sinks to the bottom of the battery box 1000. By setting the air guide shroud 40, the temperature of the gas entering the guide channel 11 from the air inlet is lower, further reducing the gas temperature.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of air guide shrouds 40 is the same as the number of air inlets. Air inlets 14 are located at both ends of the housing 10. Air guide shrouds 40 are connected to both ends of the housing 10.

[0054] The air guide shroud 40 can be configured in different shapes as needed. In this embodiment, the air guide shroud 40 is provided with an arc-shaped guiding surface in order to guide the gas into the air inlet 14. In other embodiments, the air guide shroud 40 can be square. As long as the gas can be guided into the housing 10 from below, the present invention does not limit the shape of the air guide shroud 40.

[0055] Furthermore, a flange 15 is provided on the side of the housing 10 near the heat exchange surface 122. A fixing hole 151 is provided on the flange 15. Specifically, in this embodiment, the heat dissipation fins 12 are wavy, and the side of the housing 10 is also wavy, so that the spacing between the heat dissipation fins 12 near the side of the housing 10 and the side wall of the housing 10 is consistent. By providing the flange 15, the housing 10 can easily fit against the mounting surface of the heat exchange device. By providing the fixing hole 151, the relative position of the housing 10 and the heat exchange device can be easily fixed.

[0056] In this embodiment, since the exhaust hood 30 is disposed above the housing 10, a connector 32 is also provided between the housing 10 and the exhaust hood 30. The connector 32 is provided to support the exhaust hood 30.

[0057] Second Embodiment

[0058] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment provides a battery box 1000, which includes the cooling device 100, box body, and liquid cooling plate 300 described in the first embodiment above. Specifically, the box body includes a base 200 and a top cover (not shown). The base 200 is used to fix the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500. Specifically, the base 200 is a frame structure, which includes two frames. The battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500 are fixedly connected to the base 200 by bolts or other parts and are disposed inside the frames. The liquid cooling plate 300 is fixed to the base 200. The liquid cooling plate 300 is in contact with the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500 and is used to cool the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500. Specifically, the liquid cooling plate 300 is fixed to the lower side of the base 200. The upper surface of the liquid cooling plate 300 is in contact with the bottom surface of the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500, respectively, thereby cooling the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500. The cooling device 100 is fixed to the liquid cooling plate 300. Specifically, the housing 10 covers the liquid cooling plate 300. The heat exchange surface 122 is in contact with the liquid cooling plate 300 to allow the gas in the flow channel 11 to exchange heat with the liquid cooling plate 300. The electrical assembly 500 includes a fuse. The exhaust vent 31 is oriented towards the fuse.

[0059] Furthermore, the liquid cooling plate 300 is provided with an inlet 301 and an outlet 302. Specifically, the liquid cooling plate 300 has a coolant flow channel. By providing the inlet 301 and the outlet 302, the coolant circulates within the coolant flow channel, carrying away the heat from the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500, thereby cooling the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500.

[0060] It is understood that in this embodiment, the cooling device 100 is fixed on the liquid cooling plate 300. The liquid cooling plate 300 cools the gas temperature in the flow channel 11, and blows the low-temperature gas to the fuse of the electrical component 500 to reduce the temperature of the fuse, so that the temperature of the fuse under the rated current does not reach the melting temperature, thereby improving the overcurrent capacity of the fuse.

[0061] The beneficial effects of the cooling device 100 and battery box 1000 of this utility model include:

[0062] The cooling device 100 of this utility model includes a housing 10 and an exhaust hood 30. A flow channel 11 is provided inside the housing 10. An air inlet 14 communicating with the flow channel 11 is provided on the housing 10. A heat exchange component is also provided inside the housing 10. A heat exchange surface 122 is provided on the heat exchange component. The heat exchange surface 122 is used to fit against an external heat exchange device so that the gas in the flow channel 11 exchanges heat with the heat exchange device. The exhaust hood 30 is connected to the housing 10 via a duct 20. An exhaust cavity is provided inside the exhaust hood 30. An exhaust port 31 is provided on the exhaust hood 30. Both ends of the duct 20 are connected to the exhaust cavity and the flow channel 11, respectively. An exhaust fan 21 is provided inside the duct 20. The battery box 1000 of this utility model includes the above-mentioned cooling device 100, a box body, and a liquid cooling plate 300. The box body includes a base 200 and a top cover. The base 200 is used to fix the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500. A liquid cooling plate 300 is fixed to the base 200. The liquid cooling plate 300 is in contact with the battery assembly 400 and the electrical assembly 500 to cool them. A cooling device 100 is fixed to the liquid cooling plate 300. A heat exchange surface 122 is in contact with the liquid cooling plate 300 to allow heat exchange between the gas in the flow channel 11 and the liquid cooling plate 300. The electrical assembly 500 includes a fuse. An exhaust vent 31 is oriented towards the fuse.

[0063] The cooling device 100 of the battery box 100 of this utility model allows the gas flowing into the interior to exchange heat with the liquid cooling plate 300 through a heat exchanger. After the gas is cooled down, it is blown onto the electrical component 500, thereby cooling the electrical component 500 and preventing the electrical component 500 from overheating. This makes the fuse less likely to blow, improves the current carrying capacity of the fuse, and eliminates the need to replace or redesign components with high current carrying capacity, thus reducing development costs.

[0064] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
