Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery cooling devices, specifically a heat exchange and cooling device for new energy vehicle batteries. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of the water-cooling system for new energy vehicle batteries is as follows: The water-cooling system uses the circulation of coolant in pipes to remove the heat generated by the battery. When the battery is working, it generates heat, causing its own temperature to rise. After the temperature sensor detects the temperature change, it transmits the signal to the Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS activates the water-cooling system according to the preset temperature range. The coolant is usually a liquid with good thermal conductivity and stability, such as an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol. It can absorb the heat generated by the battery and carry the heat to the radiator for dissipation. The specific cooling process is as follows: The coolant flows out of the water tank under the push of the water pump and enters the cooling pipes. The coolant flows in the cooling pipes, exchanges heat with the battery surface, and absorbs the heat generated by the battery. The coolant temperature rises after absorbing heat and then flows to the radiator. In the radiator, the coolant dissipates the heat into the air, and its own temperature decreases. The cooled coolant returns to the water tank to prepare for the next cycle.

[0003] When the coolant is cooling the batteries inside the battery pack, it cannot penetrate deep into the battery pack to dissipate heat between adjacent rows of batteries. This results in insufficient and uneven heat dissipation, leading to poor heat dissipation and increasing the risk of spontaneous combustion upon impact. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a heat exchange and cooling device for a new energy vehicle battery, including a battery pack 1. A mounting base 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the battery pack 1, and a first limiting frame 3 is fixedly installed on the bottom side wall of the battery pack 1. At the same time, a second limiting frame 31 is fixedly installed on the other side of the bottom side wall of the battery pack 1. A cooling plate 4 is fixedly installed inside the battery pack 1.

A support base 5 is fixedly installed inside the first limiting frame 3, and a reinforcing plate 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the battery pack 1.

[0021] Working Principle: During use, a large number of battery packs are fixedly installed inside the battery pack 1, and the mounting seats 2 on both sides of the battery pack 1 are placed on the vehicle chassis and secured with screws through the mounting seats 2 and mounting holes 21. When cooling of the battery packs inside the battery pack 1 is required, coolant enters the cooling plate 4 from the medium inlet pipe 41 and exits from the medium outlet pipe 42. The cooling plate 4 is arranged in a meandering spiral inside the battery pack 1 and wraps around the outside of the battery packs, allowing for large-area contact with individual battery cells or modules. This ensures that all parts of the battery are effectively cooled, preventing localized overheating. The coil layout allows the coolant to flow more evenly through different areas of the battery pack, resulting in a more uniform temperature distribution throughout the entire battery pack. This helps improve the performance and lifespan of the battery pack. Because excessive temperature differences can lead to uneven chemical reactions inside the battery, which in turn affects the battery's capacity, charge and discharge efficiency, and cycle life; the meandering cooling coil greatly increases the heat exchange area with the battery; when the coolant flows in the coil, it can fully absorb the heat generated by the battery and improve heat dissipation efficiency; the two ends of the cooling plate 4 are protected by the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 31; multiple sets of support seats 5 are evenly fixed inside the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 31. The multiple sets of support seats 5 and the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 31 can provide side impact protection for the battery pack 1, the internal battery pack, and the external cooling plate 4. At the same time, a reinforcing plate 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the battery pack 1 to increase the strength of the battery pack 1. At the same time, multiple sets of heat dissipation vents 61 are evenly opened on the surface of the reinforcing plate 6 to facilitate heat dissipation at the bottom of the battery pack 1.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the cooling plate 4 is S-shaped and is curved and coiled inside the battery pack 1, while the end of the cooling plate 4 is U-shaped.

[0023] The two ends of the cooling plate 4 are respectively set inside the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 31, and the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 31 are both rectangular. At the same time, the two ends of the cooling plate 4 are protected by the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 31.

[0024] Multiple sets of support seats 5 are fixedly installed inside the first limiting frame 3 and the second limiting frame 31. The support seats 5 are set in an isosceles trapezoidal shape, and a through hole 51 is opened inside the support seats 5.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, both ends of the battery pack 1 are fixedly provided with mounting bases 2, and the mounting bases 2 are rectangular in shape, with mounting holes 21 opened inside the mounting bases 2.

[0026] Four sets of through holes are evenly opened on the reinforcing plate 6, and four sets of screw holes are evenly opened on the bottom of the battery pack 1. The screw holes are matched with the size of the fixing bolts 62, and the fixing bolts 62 pass through the through holes on the reinforcing plate 6 and are screwed into the screw holes opened on the bottom of the battery pack 1. Multiple sets of heat dissipation vents 61 are evenly opened on the reinforcing plate 6, and the distance between two adjacent sets of heat dissipation vents 61 is the same. The heat dissipation vents 61 are regular hexagonal structures.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
