[0036] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, the utility model provides a safe battery pack structure, including base 1, mounting seat 2, plastic plate 3, insulating plate 4 and cover plate 5, the base 1 center is provided with liquid collecting groove 11, the periphery end surface of liquid collecting groove 11 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, the mounting hole is suitable for placing battery 7;The mounting seat 2 is arranged on the base 1, the mounting seat 2 center is provided with cavity 21, a plurality of battery holes 22 are provided around the cavity 21, the transmission part 6 is installed in the cavity 21, and the battery 7 is installed in the battery hole 22;The plastic plate 3 is sleeved on the battery 7, and abuts with the mounting seat 2, the plastic plate 3 center is provided with through hole, and the through hole abuts with the transmission part 6.

[0037] In the utility model embodiment, first, the mounting seat 2 is installed on the base 1, then the battery 7 is inserted into the battery hole 22, then the plastic plate 3 is installed on the battery 7, and then the insulating plate 4 and the cover plate 5 are sequentially installed on the plastic plate 3, when the battery 7 is abnormal, electrolyte and combustible gas will be generated, the electrolyte flows into the liquid collecting groove 11 through the transmission part 6, and the combustible gas enters the cavity 21 through the transmission part 6, and then is discharged to the outside through the cover plate 5.

[0038] Existing battery pack structures are prone to thermal runaway. When thermal runaway occurs, the flammable and explosive electrolyte and combustible gas produced by the battery can easily interact, causing the battery pack to catch fire more violently and affecting its usability. In this invention, by setting the transmission component 6, the electrolyte produced by the battery can be transferred to the collection tank 11, and the gas produced by the battery can be transferred to the cavity 21 and then discharged to the outside. In addition, the transmission component 6 can also transfer the heat generated by the battery to the cavity 21 more quickly, separating the transmission paths of combustible gas and combustible electrolyte, allowing the heat generated by the battery to dissipate more quickly, thereby reducing the risk of thermal runaway and improving the thermal safety of the battery pack.

[0039] In this embodiment of the utility model, the mounting base 2 is cylindrical, and a circular cavity 21 is provided in the center of the cylindrical mounting base 2. The transmission component 6 is installed in the circular cavity 21. The transmission component 6 enables the combustible gas and combustible electrolyte generated by the battery 7 to be separated into gas and liquid and discharged along different paths without affecting each other, thereby avoiding further aggravation of thermal runaway effect and improving the safety of the battery pack.

This embodiment does not limit the arrangement of the first flow channel 31. Those skilled in the art can modify the arrangement of the first flow channel 31 according to the actual situation, as long as the same technical effect can be achieved.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cross-section of the transmission component 6 is a hollow annular shape. The upper end of the transmission component 6 abuts against the plastic plate 3, and the lower end of the transmission component 6 abuts against the base 1. The transmission component 6 has a second flow channel 61 arranged axially. One end of the second flow channel 61 is connected to the first flow channel 31, and the other end of the second flow channel 61 is connected to the liquid collection tank 11.

When the thermal runaway effect occurs in the batteries 7, the gas generated by the batteries 7 flows into the cavity 21 through the first exhaust holes 62 and is then exhausted to the outside from the cavity 21. In addition, the batteries 7 also generate a large amount of heat, the first exhaust holes 62 can dissipate the heat into the cavity 21, and then the heat is diffused through the axial direction, thereby reducing the heat accumulation of the battery pack and preventing the batteries 7 from burning, and the safety of the battery pack is improved.

[0044] Further, the safety battery pack structure further comprises an insulating plate 4 and a cover plate 5, the insulating plate 4 is arranged on the plastic plate 3, and the cover plate 5 is arranged on the insulating plate 4.

When the cavity 21 contains combustible gas and a large amount of heat, the combustible gas and the large amount of heat are exhausted through the second exhaust hole 51 by the air extraction device, and the discharge efficiency of the combustible gas and the heat is improved.

[0045] Further, a gap is arranged between the batteries 7 and the battery holes 22, the gap is suitable for installing the batteries 7 into the battery holes 22 and discharging the generated gas into the cavity 21, and in addition, a gap is also arranged between adjacent batteries 7, and the gap can discharge the gas and heat generated by the batteries 7 into the cavity 21.

[0047] Further, the battery 7 is also provided with an explosion-proof valve 9, which is suitable for avoiding explosion of the battery 7. When the battery pack appears thermal runaway, the internal air pressure rises sharply, and the explosion-proof valve 9 can timely release pressure to prevent the battery 7 from exploding.

[0048] The specific working process of the safety battery pack structure provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0049] First, the mounting seat 2 is installed on the base 1, then the battery 7 is inserted into the battery hole 22, then the plastic plate 3 is installed on the battery 7, then the palladium sheet 8 is used to connect two adjacent batteries 7, and then the insulating plate 4 and the cover plate 5 are sequentially installed on the plastic plate 3. When the battery 7 appears thermal runaway, the battery 7 will spray electrolyte and produce combustible gas, the electrolyte is sprayed onto the first flow channel 31 of the plastic plate 3, the electrolyte in the first flow channel 31 enters the liquid collecting groove 11 through the second flow channel 61 and is adsorbed by the adsorbent, and the produced combustible gas enters the cavity 21 through the first exhaust hole 62 and then enters the air extraction device through the second exhaust hole 51. The discharge of electrolyte and combustible gas is independent of each other and will not affect each other, so as to not aggravate the thermal runaway effect. In addition, the battery 7 will also produce a large amount of heat, the heat is diffused into the cavity 21 through the first exhaust hole 62 and then is axially discharged through the second exhaust hole 51, thereby reducing the heat accumulation of the battery pack and improving the safety of the battery pack.
