Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to battery cooling technical field, concretely is a kind of bionic fractal tree-shaped channel cooling flat plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of battery cooling, the prior art mainly adopts traditional cooling structures, such as natural convection cooling plates and forced convection cooling plates. These devices use air or liquid as cooling medium to absorb and transfer heat by contacting the battery surface. Structurally, these cooling structures usually include a cooling flat plate that directly contacts the battery surface and a channel structure for the flow of cooling medium. In principle, these structures rely on fluid dynamics and heat transfer principles to achieve heat transfer and dissipation through fluid flow.

[0003] Although the prior art can meet the needs of battery cooling to some extent, they have some significant problems and shortcomings. First, traditional cooling structures often have the problem of high flow resistance, which limits the flow rate of the cooling medium and thus affects the cooling efficiency. Second, the heat transfer efficiency is uneven, especially at high power output, the temperature distribution on the battery surface is uneven, which may cause overheating in some areas, affecting the performance and life of the battery. Finally, the cooling capacity of the existing structure is limited, and it is difficult to meet the higher requirements for cooling performance as battery technology develops in the future.

[0004] The cooling plate of the prior art is usually simple in design and lacks optimization of fluid flow and heat transfer process. For example, the traditional flat plate cooling plate lacks effective internal structure to guide fluid flow, resulting in single fluid flow path and high flow resistance. In addition, the contact between the cooling plate and the battery surface is insufficient, which also leads to uneven heat transfer efficiency. In some designs, additional turbulence elements or roughening treatment may be added to enhance heat transfer effect, but this further increases flow resistance, forming a trade-off. Therefore, the existing cooling plate needs to balance flow resistance and heat transfer efficiency in design, which limits the further improvement of cooling performance. SUMMARY

[0005] The utility model aims at providing a bionic fractal tree-shaped channel cooling flat plate to solve the problems raised in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0007] A bionic fractal tree-shaped channel cooling flat plate, comprising

[0008] A battery body is provided with two heat dissipation mechanisms arranged side by side on both sides of the battery body.

[0009] The heat dissipation mechanism is composed of a cover plate, a bottom frame and a bionic fractal tree-shaped channel layer.

[0010] Preferably, the directions of the bionic fractal tree-shaped channel layers are opposite to each other.

[0011] Preferably, a refrigerant inlet is arranged on the left side of the bottom frame, and a refrigerant outlet is arranged on the side of the bottom frame away from the refrigerant inlet, and the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet are connected with the bionic fractal tree-shaped channel layer.

[0012] Preferably, the bionic fractal tree-shaped channel layer is composed of a plurality of fractal geometric-shaped pipes arranged in a branch-like manner, and the included angle between each branch of the pipes is 60°.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom frame and the battery body are fixedly connected through an adhesive.

[0014] Preferably, the pipes are made of copper or aluminum.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the heat dissipation mechanism has the advantages that:

[0016] 1. The bionic fractal tree-shaped channel cooling flat plate reduces the flow resistance in the fluid flow process, and compared with the traditional straight line or simple curve channel, the fractal channel guides the fluid to form ordered vortex flow through the complex geometric shape, which helps to reduce the turbulence and friction of the fluid, thereby reducing the flow resistance.

[0017] 2. The bionic fractal tree-shaped channel cooling flat plate maximizes the contact area between the fluid and the battery surface due to the multiscale and self-similarity of the fractal channel, thereby improving the uniformity of heat exchange and helping to avoid local overheating, and ensuring that the battery can maintain stable temperature distribution under various working conditions.
