The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment, nor is it necessarily independent or alternative embodiments to other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0084] At present, from the development of market situation, the application of power battery is more and more extensive. Power battery is not only applied to energy storage power supply systems such as hydroelectric, thermal, wind and solar power stations, but also widely used in electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles and other electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of power battery, the demand of its market is also increasing.
[0085] Because the battery monomer usually generates heat in the process of charging and discharging cycle, and is easy to cause the temperature of the environment where the battery monomer is located to rise, and the charging and discharging efficiency of the battery monomer in a higher environment temperature will decrease. Therefore, the current battery device is usually provided with a refrigerant heat exchange assembly, such as a cold plate structure, to control the temperature of the battery monomer and the environment where it is located through the refrigerant heat exchange assembly.
[0086] In the refrigerant heat exchange assembly, the flow of the heat exchange medium to the downstream of the flow channel usually causes the heat exchange capacity to decrease due to the arrangement of the flow channel, that is, the temperature control capacity of the heat exchange medium on the battery monomer corresponding to the downstream position of the flow channel is usually poor; therefore, the heat exchange capacity of different positions of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly usually has differences, which easily causes the temperature of different positions inside the battery device to have large differences. The temperature of different positions inside the battery device has large differences, which causes the electrochemical reaction rates of the battery monomers at different positions to be different, and causes the charging and discharging performance to decrease, and also easily causes the service life of part of the battery monomers to be shortened, the risk of thermal runaway to increase, and the consistency and stability of the battery device to be negatively affected.
[0087] Based on the above considerations, in order to alleviate the problem of uneven and inconsistent heat exchange effect of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly, the battery device provided in the embodiments of the present application is configured to include a flow channel structure and a temperature equalization structure, so as to exchange heat with the battery monomer through the flow channel structure, and exchange heat with the flow channel structure through the temperature equalization structure. In such a battery monomer, the temperature equalization structure can adjust the temperature of different positions of the flow channel structure, so as to reduce the temperature difference of different parts of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly, and improve the temperature consistency of different positions of the entire refrigerant heat exchange assembly, so that the refrigerant heat exchange assembly can better control the temperature of different positions of the battery device, and reduce the temperature difference of different positions in the battery device.
[0088] The battery device disclosed in the embodiments of the present application can be used in a power consumption device using the battery device as a power source or a variety of energy storage systems using the battery device as an energy storage element.

[0109] The box body 10 refers to a structure in the battery device 100 for providing a fixed basis for the battery cell 20, the controller 300 and other structures; the box body 10 can be cuboid, cylindrical or other shapes.
[0110] The battery cell 20 refers to the smallest unit that constitutes the battery device 100, the battery cell 20 can be a cylindrical structure, a prismatic structure, a sheet structure or other shapes; the number of battery cells 20 can be one, two or more; in the case of multiple battery cells 20, the multiple battery cells 20 can be arranged in one or two different directions, and the multiple battery cells 20 can be connected in series, parallel or mixed.

[0113] The flow channel structure 31 can be connected to the box body 10. The flow channel structure 31 can be fixedly connected to the box body 10 by welding, bonding, or other methods. Alternatively, the flow channel structure 31 can be detachably connected to the box body 10 by clamping, screwing, or other methods. The flow channel structure 31 can be directly connected to the box body 10 or indirectly connected to the box body 10 through an intermediate structure. The flow channel structure 31 can be located inside the box body 10 or outside the box body 10. The flow channel structure 31 can be located at the bottom of each battery monomer 20 or between adjacent two battery monomers 20. The material of the flow channel structure 31 can include metal, plastic, or other materials.
[0114] The heat exchange medium flowing in the flow channel structure 31 is a first heat exchange medium. The first heat exchange medium can include a liquid medium, a gaseous medium, a solid-liquid mixed medium, or the like. The first heat exchange medium can include a refrigerant, such as tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, or the like.
[0115] The uniform temperature structure 32 refers to a structure in the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 that is mainly used for heat exchange with the flow channel structure 31, and heat can be dispersed and transferred in the uniform temperature structure 32. The uniform temperature structure 32 can include a structure member with heat conduction performance. In this case, the uniform temperature structure 32 can not only exchange heat with the flow channel structure 31, but also can uniformly disperse and arrange heat in the uniform temperature structure 32. The uniform temperature structure 32 can also include a base member and a heat exchange medium flowing in the base member. The flowing heat exchange medium can exchange heat with the flow channel structure 31 and carry heat to flow, so as to adjust the temperature difference of different parts of the flow channel structure 31.
[0116] The uniform temperature structure 32 is arranged adjacent to the flow channel structure 31. The uniform temperature structure 32 can be directly connected to the flow channel structure 31, or indirectly connected to the flow channel structure 31 through other structures. According to the specific structure of the uniform temperature structure 32, the uniform temperature structure 32 can be fixedly connected to the flow channel structure 31 by welding, bonding, or other methods. Alternatively, the uniform temperature structure 32 can be detachably connected to the flow channel structure 31 by screwing, clamping, or other methods. The uniform temperature structure 32 can also be arranged inside the flow channel structure 31.
[0117] The uniform temperature structure 32 can be arranged on the side of the flow channel structure 31 facing the battery monomer 20, or on the side of the flow channel structure 31 away from the battery monomer 20, or inside the flow channel structure 31 or other positions; the uniform temperature structure 32 can exchange heat only with the flow channel structure 31, or exchange heat with both the flow channel structure 31 and the battery monomer 20.
[0118] At the position of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the uniform temperature structure 32 exchanges more heat with the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 decreases greatly, and the temperature of the corresponding position of the uniform temperature structure 32 increases; the heat locally increased by the uniform temperature structure 32 will be dispersed to other positions (e.g. positions with a lower temperature) of the uniform temperature structure 32, and the overall temperature of the uniform temperature structure 32 increases; at this time, at the position of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature, according to the temperature relationship between the position of the flow channel structure 31 and the corresponding position of the uniform temperature structure 32, the uniform temperature structure 32 can release heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31, or the flow channel structure 31 can transfer heat to the uniform temperature structure 32, and the heat transferred is less, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decrease is smaller, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different positions of the flow channel structure 31. That is, the heat exchanged between different positions of the uniform temperature structure 32 and the flow channel structure 31 is different, and the temperature difference between different positions of the flow channel structure 31 is adjusted, the temperature difference between different positions of the flow channel structure 31 is reduced, and the uniformity of the temperature of the flow channel structure 31 is improved.
[0119] In the embodiment, the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 includes the flow channel structure 31 and the uniform temperature structure 32, and exchanges heat with the flow channel structure 31 through the uniform temperature structure 32, so as to adjust the temperature of different positions of the flow channel structure 31 through the uniform temperature structure 32, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different positions of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30, making the temperature of different positions of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform, and improving the stability of the battery device 100 and reducing the safety risk of the battery device 100.
[0120] Reference Figures 4 to 10 In some embodiments, the flow channel structure 31 includes a first plate body 311 connected to the box body 10 and a second plate body 312 connected to the first plate body 311, and a first cavity 313 is formed between the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312 for the first heat exchange medium to flow through; the uniform temperature structure 32 is arranged on the side of the second plate body 312 away from the battery monomer 20.
[0121] The first plate body 311 refers to a structure for bearing the first heat exchange medium in the flow channel structure 31. The first plate body 311 can be square, circular or other shapes. The material of the first plate body 311 can include metal, plastic or other materials.
[0122] The second plate body 312 refers to a structure for cooperating with the first plate body 311 to form the first cavity 313 in the flow channel structure 31. The second plate body 312 can be square, circular or other shapes. The material of the second plate body 312 can include metal, plastic or other materials.
[0123] The first cavity 313 refers to a space structure for the first heat exchange medium to flow in the flow channel structure 31. The first cavity 313 is formed between the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312, that is, the first cavity 313 can be surrounded by the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312. For example, a groove can be provided on the first plate body 311, and the second plate body 312 is covered on the groove to form the first cavity 313. For example, a groove can be provided on the second plate body 312, and the first plate body 311 is covered on the groove to form the first cavity 313. For example, other structural members can be provided between the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312, so that the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312 cooperate with the structural members to surround the first cavity 313.
[0124] The first cavity 313 can be a channel structure or other structures. The first cavity 313 can extend along a straight line, or be curved and in the shape of a snake, a spiral or other shapes. In a plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the first heat exchange medium in the first cavity 313, the cross-sectional shape of the first cavity 313 can be square, trapezoidal, semicircular or other shapes. The first cavity 313 can be formed by deforming the first plate body 311, for example, the first cavity 313 can be formed by stamping, bending or other processes on the first plate body 311. The first cavity 313 can be formed by connecting structural members to the first plate body 311, for example, a plurality of straight plates or bent plates can be connected on the first plate body 311, and the first cavity 313 is formed between adjacent two straight plates or bent plates.
[0125] In the case that the second plate body 312 can cooperate with the first plate body 311 to form the first cavity 313, the second plate body 312 can be the same shape as the first plate body 311, or different. The second plate body 312 can be connected to the first plate body 311 by welding, bonding or other means. In the case that the flow channel structure 31 is connected to the cabinet 10, the first plate body 311 can be connected to the cabinet 10, or the second plate body 312 can be connected to the cabinet 10, or both the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312 can be connected to the cabinet 10.
[0126] The second plate body 312 is arranged on the side of the first plate body 311 facing the battery cell 20, so that the flow channel structure 31 exchanges heat with the battery cell 20 through the second plate body 312.
[0127] The temperature equalizing structure 32 is arranged on the side of the second plate body 312 away from the battery cell 20. In this case, the temperature equalizing structure 32 can be located on the side of the first plate body 311 away from the second plate body 312, or the temperature equalizing structure 32 can be located between the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312, or the temperature equalizing structure 32 can be located at other positions.
[0128] The temperature equalizing structure 32 is arranged on the side of the second plate body 312 away from the battery cell 20, that is, the temperature equalizing structure 32 is mainly used for heat exchange with the flow channel structure 31 to adjust the temperature of different positions of the flow channel structure 31 and reduce the temperature difference of different positions of the flow channel structure 31. At the same time, this arrangement also makes it difficult for the temperature equalizing structure 32 to directly contact the battery cell 20, thereby reducing the interference of the battery cell 20 on the temperature equalizing performance of the temperature equalizing structure 32, so that the temperature equalizing structure 32 can better adjust the temperature of the flow channel structure 31.
[0129] The embodiment provides specific structures of some refrigerant heat exchange assemblies 30, so that the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312 are connected to form the flow channel structure 31. At the same time, the temperature equalizing structure 32 is arranged on the side of the second plate body 312 away from the battery cell 20, so that the temperature equalizing structure 32 can better exchange heat with the flow channel structure 31, thereby better reducing the temperature difference of different positions of the flow channel structure 31 and improving the temperature consistency of the flow channel structure 31. This arrangement can also reduce the negative impact of the temperature equalizing structure 32 on the heat exchange between the flow channel structure 31 and the battery cell 20.
[0130] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the temperature equalizing structure 32 includes a third plate body 321 connected to the side of the first plate body 311 away from the second plate body 312, and the third plate body 321 is configured to exchange heat with the first plate body 311. The third plate body 321 is a heat conduction structure.
[0131] The third plate body 321 refers to a structure in the temperature equalizing structure 32 for heat exchange with the first plate body 311. The third plate body 321 can be circular, square or other shapes. The number of third plate bodies 321 can be one, two or more. Each third plate body 321 can completely cover the corresponding surface of the first plate body 311, or only cover a part of the corresponding surface of the first plate body 311. The third plate body 321 is connected to the first plate body 311. The third plate body 321 can be fixedly connected to the first plate body 311 by welding, bonding or other means. The third plate body 321 can also be detachably connected to the first plate body 311 by screwing, clamping or other means. The material of the third plate body 321 can include metal, plastic or other materials.
[0132] The third plate body 321 is used for heat exchange with the first plate body 311, that is, the third plate body 321 is a heat conduction structure, and the third plate body 321 has certain heat conduction performance; for example, the material of the third plate body 321 can include aluminum, copper or other heat conduction materials.
[0133] The third plate body 321 is arranged on the side of the first plate body 311 away from the second plate body 312, that is, the third plate body 321 is located on the side of the flow channel structure 31 away from the battery monomer 20; the third plate body 321 can exchange heat with the first plate body 311 on the side of the first plate body 311 away from the second plate body 312, so as to adjust the temperature of different positions of the first plate body 311; at this time, the temperature equalization structure 32 is mainly used for heat exchange with the flow channel structure 31 and adjusting the temperature of the flow channel structure 31.
[0134] Because the first cavity 313 is arranged between the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312, and the first heat exchange medium flows through the first cavity 313, the third plate body 321 exchanges heat with the first plate body 311, so as to adjust the temperature of the first heat exchange medium at different positions, thereby reducing the temperature difference of the first heat exchange medium at different positions in the flow channel structure 31.
[0135] At the position of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the third plate body 321 exchanges more heat with the corresponding position of the first plate body 311, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 decreases greatly, and the temperature of the corresponding position of the third plate body 321 increases; the heat locally increased by the third plate body 321 will be dispersed to other positions (for example, positions with a lower temperature) of the third plate body 321, and the overall temperature of the third plate body 321 increases; at this time, at the position of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature, according to the temperature relationship between the position of the flow channel structure 31 and the corresponding position of the third plate body 321, the third plate body 321 can release heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31, and the flow channel structure 31 can also transfer heat to the third plate body 321, and the heat transferred is less, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decrease amplitude is smaller, so as to reduce the temperature difference of different positions of the flow channel structure 31.
[0136] The embodiment provides specific structures of some temperature equalization structures 32, the third plate body 321 is arranged and connected with the second plate body 312, so as to exchange heat with the channel structure through the third plate body 321, increase the temperature of the position with a lower temperature in the channel structure through the third plate body 321, and decrease the temperature of the position with a higher temperature in the channel structure through the third plate body 321.
[0137] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6In some embodiments, the third plate body 321 is internally provided with a second cavity 3211, and the second cavity 3211 contains a second heat exchange medium, which is configured to be able to flow in the second cavity 3211.
[0138] The second cavity 3211 refers to a space structure arranged inside the third plate body 321, which can be a prismatic space, a cylindrical space or other space structures. The number of the second cavity 3211 can be one, two or more.
[0139] The second heat exchange medium refers to a medium capable of exchanging heat with the third plate body 321 and the first plate body 311. The second heat exchange medium can include liquid medium, gaseous medium, solid-liquid mixed medium, etc. The material of the second heat exchange medium can include refrigerant, such as tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc. The material of the second heat exchange medium can also include coolant, such as water, ethylene glycol solution, etc.
[0140] The second heat exchange medium can flow in the second cavity 3211 to transport and adjust heat. In the part of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the second heat exchange medium in the second cavity 3211 exchanges more heat with the corresponding part of the first plate body 311, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 decreases greatly, and the heat carried by the second heat exchange medium is higher at this time. Then, the second heat exchange medium flows to the position corresponding to the part of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature, and the second heat exchange medium releases heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31. The flow channel structure 31 can also transfer heat to the second heat exchange medium, and the heat transferred is less, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decrease is smaller, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different parts of the flow channel structure 31.
[0141] In this embodiment, the second cavity 3211 is arranged in the third plate body 321, the second heat exchange medium is arranged in the second cavity 3211, and the second heat exchange medium is able to flow. In the process of flowing of the second heat exchange medium, the second heat exchange medium can absorb heat at a position with a higher temperature than itself and release heat at a position with a lower temperature than itself, so as to transport and adjust the arrangement of heat of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30, thereby achieving the effect of making the temperature arrangement of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform.
[0142] In some embodiments, the second cavity 3211 is a closed space structure, and the second heat exchange medium is a liquid phase change material.
[0143] The second cavity 3211 is a closed space structure, that is, the second heat exchange medium can flow in the second cavity 3211, but it is difficult to flow out of the second cavity 3211.
[0144] The phase change material refers to a material capable of changing from one physical state to another physical state to absorb or release heat, and the phase change material can flow in the second cavity 3211 autonomously in the process of changing the physical state of the phase change material. For example, the phase change material can change from a liquid state to a gaseous state and absorb heat in the process, and the phase change material can also change from a gaseous state to a liquid state and release heat in the process; the gaseous phase change material carrying heat can flow to a position with a lower temperature and can push the liquid phase change material to a position with a higher temperature.
[0145] The liquid phase change material can include tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc.
[0146] In the case where the second heat exchange medium is a liquid phase change material, the second heat exchange medium autonomously flows in the process of phase change without the need of an external driving device to drive the flow, and therefore the second cavity 3211 can be a closed space structure.
[0147] Taking the case where the second heat exchange medium can change between a liquid state and a gaseous state as an example, at a position with a higher temperature of the flow channel structure 31, the second heat exchange medium in the second cavity 3211 can change from a liquid state to a gaseous state and absorb heat in the process; then, the gaseous second heat exchange medium can flow to a position with a lower temperature in the second cavity 3211, which corresponds to a position with a lower temperature of the flow channel structure 31, according to the temperature relationship between the second heat exchange medium in the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 and the second cavity 3211, the second heat exchange medium can release heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31, or the flow channel structure 31 can transfer less heat to the second heat exchange medium, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decreases at a smaller amplitude, so as to reduce the temperature difference between different positions of the flow channel structure 31.
[0148] In the embodiment, the second heat exchange medium is a phase change material, which can absorb heat at a position with a higher temperature and change phase, and the phase changed phase change material can flow to a position with a lower temperature and release heat, so as to achieve the effect of making the temperature distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform.
[0149] In some embodiments, the second cavity 3211 is a circulating space structure, so that the second heat exchange medium can flow in the second cavity 3211.
[0150] The circulation space structure refers to a space structure with a certain path and connected at the head and tail. The circulation space structure can be a strip-shaped space structure and connected at the head and tail. The second cavity 3211 can be a circular ring-shaped space structure, a square ring-shaped space structure, or a circulation space structure of other shapes. At this time, the second cavity 3211 can be a closed circulation space structure, and the third cavity 322 can also be in communication with other structures outside the environment, for example, an external driving device (such as a water pump, etc.) located outside the second cavity 3211 can be provided, and the second cavity 3211 is in communication with the external driving device to drive the second heat exchange medium to flow in the second cavity 3211.
[0151] The second heat exchange medium can circulate in the second cavity 3211, that is, the second heat exchange medium can circulate in the second cavity 3211 in a certain direction. In the process of flowing, the second heat exchange medium can exchange heat with the first plate body 311 to absorb heat from the flow channel structure 31 or release heat to the flow channel structure 31.
[0152] The second heat exchange medium can circulate in the second cavity 3211 by the force generated by the change of heat. The second heat exchange medium can also be driven by an external driving device (such as a water pump, etc.) to circulate in the second cavity 3211. At this time, the second heat exchange medium can include a refrigerant, for example, the second heat exchange medium can include tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc. The second heat exchange medium can also include a cooling liquid, for example, the second heat exchange medium can include water, ethylene glycol solution, etc.
[0153] At the part of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the second heat exchange medium can absorb more heat, and the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 can decrease more. At the part of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature, according to the temperature relationship between the second heat exchange medium in the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 and the second cavity 3211, the second heat exchange medium can absorb a small amount of heat from the flow channel structure 31, or the second heat exchange medium can release heat to the flow channel structure 31, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 decreases less or increases, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different parts of the flow channel structure 31.
[0154] In this embodiment, the second heat exchange medium can circulate in the second cavity 3211, and the second heat exchange medium can transport heat from a high-temperature part to a low-temperature part in the process of circulating, thereby achieving the effect of making the temperature distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform.
[0155] Reference Figure 5 、 Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first reinforcing member 3212 connected to the third plate body 321 is arranged in the second cavity 3211.
[0156] The first reinforcing member 3212 refers to a reinforcing structure arranged in the second cavity 3211. The first reinforcing member 3212 can be a plate-shaped structure, a columnar structure, or a structure of other shapes. The first reinforcing member 3212 can be a square plate-shaped structure, a trapezoidal plate-shaped structure, a prism-shaped structure, a cylindrical structure, or a structure of other shapes. The number of the first reinforcing member 3212 can be one, two, or more.
[0157] The first reinforcing member 3212 can be connected to the surface of the second cavity 3211 facing or away from the first plate body 311. The first reinforcing member 3212 can also be connected to other surfaces of the second cavity 3211. For example, the two ends of the first reinforcing member 3212 are respectively connected to the surfaces of the second cavity 3211 facing and away from the first plate body 311.
[0158] Because the third plate body 321 is provided with the second cavity 3211, the strength of the third plate body 321 is low, and the third plate body 321 has a risk of deformation. The deformation of the third plate body 321 can easily affect the flow of the second heat exchange medium in the second cavity 3211, and further affect the uniform temperature effect of the second heat exchange medium. Accordingly, the first reinforcing member 3212 is arranged to improve the strength of the third plate body 321 and reduce the risk of deformation of the third plate body 321.
[0159] In this embodiment, the first reinforcing member 3212 is arranged in the second cavity 3211 to improve the strength of the third plate body 321 through the first reinforcing member 3212.

[0161] The third cavity 322 refers to a space structure formed between the third plate body 321 and the first plate body 311. According to the shapes of the first plate body 311 and the third plate body 321, the third cavity 322 can be a cylindrical space structure, a prism-shaped space structure, a strip-shaped space structure, or a space structure of other shapes. When the first cavity 313 is a bending or deformation of the first plate body 311 away from the second plate body 312, the third cavity 322 can also be a bending channel-shaped space structure.
[0162] The third heat exchange medium refers to a heat exchange medium contained in the third cavity 322, the third heat exchange medium can exchange heat with the first plate body 311, and the third heat exchange medium can include a liquid medium, a gaseous medium, a solid-liquid mixed medium, etc.; the material of the third heat exchange medium can include a refrigerant, for example, the third heat exchange medium can include tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc., and the material of the third heat exchange medium can also include a cooling liquid, for example, the third heat exchange medium can include water, ethylene glycol solution, etc.
[0163] The third heat exchange medium can flow in the third cavity 322 to play a role in carrying and adjusting heat. In the part of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the third heat exchange medium in the third cavity 322 exchanges more heat with the corresponding part of the first plate body 311, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 decreases greatly, and at this time, the third heat exchange medium carries more heat; then, the third heat exchange medium flows to the position corresponding to the part of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature, and according to the temperature difference between the third heat exchange medium and the corresponding flow channel structure 31, the third heat exchange medium can release heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31, or the flow channel structure 31 can transfer less heat to the third heat exchange medium, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decrease amplitude is smaller, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different parts of the flow channel structure 31.
[0164] In the case that the third plate body 321 and the first plate body 311 enclose the third cavity 322, the second cavity 3211 can not be arranged in the third plate body 321, at this time, the third plate body 321 is only used to cooperate with the first plate body 311 to enclose the third cavity 322, and at this time, the thickness of the third plate body 321 can be smaller; in the case that the third plate body 321 and the first plate body 311 enclose the third cavity 322, the second cavity 3211 can also not be arranged in the third plate body 321, and the second heat exchange medium can be arranged in the second cavity 3211, at this time, the second heat exchange medium and the third heat exchange medium can both be used for uniform temperature treatment of the flow channel structure 31, so that the temperature of the flow channel structure 31 can be better carried and adjusted.
[0165] In the embodiment, the third plate body 321 and the first plate body 311 enclose the third cavity 322, and the third heat exchange medium can flow in the third cavity 322, in the process of flowing of the third heat exchange medium, the third heat exchange medium can absorb heat at a position with a higher temperature than itself and release heat at a position with a lower temperature than itself, so as to carry and adjust the arrangement of heat of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30, thereby achieving the effect of making the temperature arrangement of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform; at the same time, the third cavity 322 is formed between the first plate body 311 and the third plate body 321, which can also reduce the space occupation of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30.
[0166] In some embodiments, the first plate body 311 is recessed towards the direction away from the second plate body 312 and is convex towards the direction where the third plate body 321 is located, so as to form a first flow channel groove 3111 on the side of the first plate body 311 facing the second plate body 312 and a second flow channel groove 3112 on the side of the first plate body 311 facing the third plate body 321; the second plate body 312 is connected to the first plate body 311 and covers the first flow channel groove 3111, so as to form a first cavity 313; the third plate body 321 is connected to the first plate body 311 and covers the second flow channel groove 3112, so as to form a third cavity 322.
[0167] The first flow channel groove 3111 refers to a groove-shaped structure formed by the recess of the first plate body 311 towards the direction away from the second plate body 312, that is, the first flow channel groove 3111 is arranged on the side of the first plate body 311 facing the second plate body 312, and the first heat exchange medium can flow in the first flow channel groove 3111; in the plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the first heat exchange medium in the first flow channel groove 3111, the cross-sectional shape of the first flow channel groove 3111 can be square, trapezoidal, semicircular or other shapes; the first flow channel groove 3111 can extend in a straight line, or can be curved in a serpentine, spiral or other shape.
[0168] The recess of the first plate body 311 towards the direction away from the second plate body 312 also forms a convex structure in the direction of the first plate body 311 facing the third plate body 321, at this time, the second flow channel groove 3112 can be formed between two adjacent convex structures. That is, the second flow channel groove 3112 refers to a groove-shaped structure formed by the convexity of the first plate body 311 towards the direction where the third plate body 321 is located, and the third heat exchange medium can flow in the second flow channel groove 3112; in the plane perpendicular to the flow direction of the third heat exchange medium in the second flow channel groove 3112, the cross-sectional shape of the second flow channel groove 3112 can be square, trapezoidal, semicircular or other shapes; according to the extension direction of the first flow channel groove 3111, the second flow channel groove 3112 can extend in a straight line, or can be curved in a serpentine, spiral or other shape.
[0169] The second plate body 312 can be connected to the first plate body 311 and cover the first flow channel groove 3111, that is, the second plate body 312 is connected to the side of the first plate body 311 facing the second plate body 312, so as to cover the first flow channel groove 3111; at this time, the second plate body 312 can shield the first flow channel groove 3111, so as to form a channel structure together with the first flow channel groove 3111, that is, the second plate body 312 forms the first cavity 313 together with the first flow channel groove 3111, so as to flow the first heat exchange medium.
[0170] The third plate body 321 can be connected to the first plate body 311, and the third plate body 321 can be connected to the first plate body 311 by welding, bonding or other means; the third plate body 321 can cover the second flow channel groove 3112, that is, the third plate body 321 is connected to the side of the first plate body 311 facing the third plate body 321 and is connected to the protruding structure of the first plate body 311 facing the third plate body 321, so as to shield the second flow channel groove 3112 and form a channel structure, that is, a third cavity 322 is formed, that is, the first plate body 311, the protruding structure of the first plate body 311 facing the third plate body 321 and the third plate body 321 can surround the third cavity 322 to flow the third heat exchange medium.
[0171] The embodiment provides some specific structures of the first plate body 311, so that the first plate body 311 is recessed in a direction away from the second plate body 312, so as to form the first flow channel groove 3111 and the second flow channel groove 3112 on two sides of the first plate body 311 respectively, and so that the second plate body 312 and the third plate body 321 can cover the corresponding first flow channel groove 3111 and the second flow channel groove 3112 respectively, so as to form the first cavity 313 and the third cavity 322, thereby facilitating the formation of the flow space of the first heat exchange medium and the third heat exchange medium.
[0172] In some embodiments, the third cavity 322 is a closed space structure, and the third heat exchange medium is a liquid phase change material.
[0173] The third cavity 322 is a closed space structure, that is, the third heat exchange medium can flow in the third cavity 322, but it is difficult to flow out of the third cavity 322.
[0174] The liquid phase change material can include tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane and the like.
[0175] In the case where the third heat exchange medium is a liquid phase change material, the third heat exchange medium flows autonomously in the process of phase change, without the need for external driving devices to drive its flow, so that the third cavity 322 can be a closed space structure.
[0176] For example, the third heat exchange medium can change between liquid and gas. At a position of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the third heat exchange medium in the third cavity 322 can change from liquid to gas and absorb heat in the process. Then, the third heat exchange medium in gas can flow to a position of the third cavity 322 with a lower temperature, which corresponds to a position of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature. According to the temperature relationship between the third heat exchange medium in the corresponding position of the third cavity 322 and the flow channel structure 31, the third heat exchange medium can release heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31, or the flow channel structure 31 can transfer less heat to the third heat exchange medium, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decreases to a smaller extent, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different positions of the flow channel structure 31.
[0177] In this embodiment, the third heat exchange medium is a phase change material. The phase change material can absorb heat at a position with a higher temperature and change phase, and the phase changed phase change material can flow to a position with a lower temperature and release heat, so as to achieve the effect of making the temperature distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform.
[0178] In some embodiments, the third cavity 322 is a circulating space structure, so that the third heat exchange medium can flow in the third cavity 322.
[0179] The circulating space structure refers to a space structure with a certain path and connected at the head and tail. The circulating space structure can be a strip-shaped space structure connected at the head and tail. The third cavity 322 can be a circular ring-shaped space structure, a square ring-shaped space structure, or other shapes of circulating space structures. At this time, the third cavity 322 can be a closed circulating space structure, or the third cavity 322 can be connected with other structures outside the third cavity 322, for example, an external driving device (such as a water pump) can be arranged outside the third cavity 322, and the third cavity 322 is connected with the external driving device to drive the third heat exchange medium to flow in the third cavity 322.
[0180] The third heat exchange medium can flow in the third cavity 322, that is, the third heat exchange medium can flow in the third cavity 322 in a certain direction and circulate at the head and tail in the third cavity 322. In the process of flowing of the third heat exchange medium, the third heat exchange medium can exchange heat with the first plate body 311 to absorb heat from the flow channel structure 31 or release heat to the flow channel structure 31.
[0181] The third heat exchange medium can be circulated in the third cavity 322 by the force generated by the change of heat, or can be driven by an external driving device (such as a water pump) to circulate in the third cavity 322. The third heat exchange medium can include refrigerant, such as tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc., or can include coolant, such as water, ethylene glycol solution, etc.
[0182] At a position of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the third heat exchange medium can absorb more heat and cause the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 to decrease more. At a position of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature, according to the temperature relationship between the third heat exchange medium in the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 and the third cavity 322, the third heat exchange medium can absorb a small amount of heat from the flow channel structure 31, or can release heat to the flow channel structure 31, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 decreases less or increases, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different positions of the flow channel structure 31.
[0183] In this embodiment, the third heat exchange medium is circulated in the third cavity 322, and the third heat exchange medium can transport heat from a high-temperature position to a low-temperature position during circulation, thereby achieving the effect of making the temperature distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform.
[0184] Reference Figure 9 , Figure 10 In some embodiments, the temperature equalizing structure 32 further includes a fourth cavity 323 provided on the first plate body 311, the fourth cavity 323 is not in communication with the first cavity 313, and the fourth cavity 323 contains a fourth heat exchange medium configured to be able to flow in the fourth cavity 323.
[0185] The fourth cavity 323 refers to a space structure formed on the first plate body 311. The fourth cavity 323 can be formed inside the first plate body 311 or between the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312. The fourth cavity 323 can be a cylindrical space structure, a prismatic space structure, a strip-shaped space structure, or a space structure of other shapes. For example, when the first cavity 313 is formed by bending or deforming the first plate body 311 away from the second plate body 312, the third cavity 322 can also include a space formed by bending or deforming the first plate body 311 away from the second plate body 312 and covering by the second plate body 312.
[0186] Different from the first cavity 313, the fourth cavity 323 contains the fourth heat exchange medium, which is mainly used for heat exchange with the first heat exchange medium in the first cavity 313 to adjust the temperature distribution of different positions inside the first cavity 313.
[0187] The fourth heat exchange medium refers to a heat exchange medium contained in the fourth cavity 323. The fourth heat exchange medium can include a liquid medium, a gaseous medium, a solid-liquid mixed medium, etc. The material of the fourth heat exchange medium can include a refrigerant, for example, the fourth heat exchange medium can include tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc. The material of the fourth heat exchange medium can also include a cooling liquid, for example, the fourth heat exchange medium can include water, ethylene glycol solution, etc.
[0188] The fourth heat exchange medium can flow in the fourth cavity 323 to play a role in carrying and adjusting heat. In the part of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the fourth heat exchange medium in the fourth cavity 323 exchanges more heat with the corresponding part of the first plate body 311, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 decreases greatly, and at this time, the fourth heat exchange medium carries more heat. Then, the fourth heat exchange medium flows to the position corresponding to the part of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature. According to the temperature difference between the fourth heat exchange medium and the corresponding flow channel structure 31, the fourth heat exchange medium can release heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31, or the flow channel structure 31 can transfer less heat to the fourth heat exchange medium, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decrease amplitude is smaller, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different parts of the flow channel structure 31.
[0189] In the case where the fourth cavity 323 is arranged on the first plate body 311, the third plate body 321 can not be arranged, and at this time, the space occupation of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 is smaller. In the case where the fourth cavity 323 is arranged on the first plate body 311, the third plate body 321 can also be arranged, and the third cavity 322 can be formed between the third plate body 321 and the first plate body 311, at this time, the third heat exchange medium and the fourth heat exchange medium can be used for uniform temperature treatment of the flow channel structure 31. In the case where the fourth cavity 323 is arranged on the first plate body 311, the third plate body 321 can also be arranged, and the second cavity 3211 can be arranged in the third plate body 321, at this time, the second heat exchange medium and the fourth heat exchange medium can be used for uniform temperature treatment of the flow channel structure 31. In the case where the fourth cavity 323 is arranged on the first plate body 311, the third cavity 322 and the second cavity 3211 can also be arranged at the same time, at this time, the second heat exchange medium, the third heat exchange medium and the fourth heat exchange medium can be used for uniform temperature treatment of the flow channel structure 31.
[0190] In the embodiment, the fourth cavity 323 is arranged, and the fourth heat exchange medium is allowed to flow in the fourth cavity 323, so as to carry and adjust the heat distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 by the flowing third heat exchange medium, thereby achieving the effect of making the temperature distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform; meanwhile, the first cavity 313 and the fourth cavity 323 are arranged between the first plate body 311 and the second plate body 312, which can also reduce the space occupation of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30.
[0191] Reference Figure 9 、 Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first plate body 311 is provided with a second flow channel groove 3112 on the side facing the second plate body 312, and the second flow channel groove 3112 is not in communication with the first cavity 313; the second plate body 312 covers the second flow channel groove 3112 and forms the fourth cavity 323.
[0192] The second flow channel groove 3112 refers to a groove-shaped structure formed on the first plate body 311, and the fourth heat exchange medium can flow in the second flow channel groove 3112; in the plane perpendicular to the direction in which the fourth heat exchange medium flows in the second flow channel groove 3112, the cross-sectional shape of the second flow channel groove 3112 can be square, trapezoidal, semicircular or other shapes; the second flow channel groove 3112 can extend along a straight line, or can be curved and in the shape of a snake, a spiral or other shapes; the second flow channel groove 3112 can be formed by deforming the first plate body 311, for example, the second flow channel groove 3112 can be formed by stamping, bending or other processes on the first plate body 311, or the second flow channel groove 3112 can be formed by connecting a structural member to the first plate body 311, for example, a plurality of straight plates or bent plates can be connected to the first plate body 311, and the second flow channel groove 3112 can be formed between adjacent two straight plates or bent plates.
[0193] The second flow channel groove 3112 is arranged on the side of the first plate body 311 facing the battery monomer 20, and the second plate body 312 is also arranged on the side of the first plate body 311 facing the battery monomer 20, so that the second plate body 312 can shield the second flow channel groove 3112, at this time, the second plate body 312 and the first plate body 311 can form the fourth cavity 323, and the fourth heat exchange medium can flow in the third flow channel.
[0194] The second flow channel groove 3112 is mainly used to form the fourth cavity 323 for heat exchange between the fourth heat exchange medium and the first heat exchange medium. Therefore, the second flow channel groove 3112 can be arranged adjacent to and equidistant from the first cavity 313 to facilitate heat exchange between the fourth heat exchange medium and the first heat exchange medium. For example, when the first flow channel groove 3111 is in a straight line structure, the second flow channel groove 3112 can be in a straight line structure adjacent to and parallel to the first cavity 313. For example, when the first cavity 313 is in a serpentine structure, the second flow channel groove 3112 can be in a serpentine structure adjacent to the first cavity 313, and each part of the second flow channel groove 3112 is adjacent to the corresponding part of the first cavity 313.
[0195] The fourth cavity 323 is formed by arranging the second flow channel groove 3112 on the first plate body 311 and covering the second plate body 312 on the second flow channel groove 3112. In this way, the fourth heat exchange medium in the fourth cavity 323 can better exchange heat with the second flow channel groove 3112. At the same time, the fourth heat exchange medium can exchange heat with the second plate body 312 and the battery cell 20 through the second plate body 312.
[0196] In some embodiments, the fourth cavity 323 is a closed space structure, and the fourth heat exchange medium is a liquid phase change material.
[0197] The fourth cavity 323 is a closed space structure, that is, the fourth heat exchange medium can flow in the fourth cavity 323, but it is difficult to flow out of the fourth cavity 323.
[0198] The liquid phase change material can include tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc.
[0199] When the fourth heat exchange medium is a liquid phase change material, the fourth heat exchange medium flows autonomously during phase change without the need for external driving devices to drive its flow. Therefore, the fourth cavity 323 can be a closed space structure.
[0200] For example, the fourth heat exchange medium can change between liquid and gas. At a position of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the fourth heat exchange medium in the fourth cavity 323 can change from liquid to gas and absorb heat in the process. Then, the fourth heat exchange medium in gas can flow to a position of the fourth cavity 323 with a lower temperature, which corresponds to a position of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature. According to the temperature relationship between the fourth heat exchange medium in the corresponding position of the fourth cavity 323 and the flow channel structure 31, the fourth heat exchange medium can release heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31, or the flow channel structure 31 can transfer less heat to the fourth heat exchange medium, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decreases to a smaller extent, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different positions of the flow channel structure 31.
[0201] In this embodiment, the fourth heat exchange medium is a phase change material. The phase change material can absorb heat at a position with a higher temperature and change phase, and the phase changed phase change material can flow to a position with a lower temperature and release heat, so as to achieve the effect of making the temperature distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform.
[0202] In some embodiments, the fourth cavity 323 is a circulating space structure, so that the fourth heat exchange medium can flow in the fourth cavity 323.
[0203] The circulating space structure refers to a space structure with a certain path and connected at the head and tail. The circulating space structure can be a strip-shaped space structure connected at the head and tail. The fourth cavity 323 can be a circular ring-shaped space structure, a square ring-shaped space structure, or other shapes of circulating space structures. At this time, the fourth cavity 323 can be a closed circulating space structure, or the fourth cavity 323 can be connected with other structures outside the environment, for example, an external driving device (such as a water pump) can be arranged outside the fourth cavity 323, and the fourth cavity 323 is connected with the external driving device to drive the fourth heat exchange medium to flow in the fourth cavity 323.
[0204] The fourth heat exchange medium can flow in the fourth cavity 323, that is, the fourth heat exchange medium can flow in the fourth cavity 323 in a certain direction and circulate at the head and tail in the fourth cavity 323. In the process of flowing of the fourth heat exchange medium, the fourth heat exchange medium can exchange heat with the first plate body 311 to absorb heat from the flow channel structure 31 or release heat to the flow channel structure 31.
[0205] The fourth heat exchange medium can be circulated in the fourth cavity 323 by the force generated by the change of heat, or can be driven by an external driving device (such as a water pump) to circulate in the fourth cavity 323. The fourth heat exchange medium can include a refrigerant, such as tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc., or can include a coolant, such as water, ethylene glycol solution, etc.
[0206] At a position of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the fourth heat exchange medium can absorb more heat and cause the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 to decrease more. At a position of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature, according to the temperature relationship between the fourth heat exchange medium in the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 and the fourth cavity 323, the fourth heat exchange medium can absorb a small amount of heat from the flow channel structure 31, or can release heat to the flow channel structure 31, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 decreases less or increases, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different positions of the flow channel structure 31.
[0207] In this embodiment, the fourth heat exchange medium is circulated in the fourth cavity 323, and the fourth heat exchange medium can transport heat from a high-temperature position to a low-temperature position during circulation, thereby achieving the effect of making the temperature distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform.
[0208] Reference Figure 11 、 Figure 12 In some embodiments, the flow channel structure 31 includes a first plate body 311 connected to the box body 10, and the first plate body 311 is provided with a first flow channel groove 3111 on the side facing the battery monomer 20. The uniform temperature structure 32 includes a fourth plate body 324 connected to the side of the first plate body 311 facing the battery monomer 20, the fourth plate body 324 covers the first flow channel groove 3111, and the fourth plate body 324 is a heat-conducting structural member.
[0209] The first plate body 311 refers to a structure in the flow channel structure 31 for carrying the first heat exchange medium, and the first flow channel groove 3111 refers to a groove-shaped structure provided on the first plate body 311. The first heat exchange medium can flow in the first flow channel groove 3111.
[0210] The fourth plate body 324 is used for heat exchange with the first heat exchange medium, that is, the fourth plate body 324 is a heat conduction structure, and the fourth plate body 324 has a certain heat conduction performance. For example, the material of the fourth plate body 324 can include aluminum, copper or other heat conductive materials.
[0211] The fourth plate body 324 is used for heat exchange with the first heat exchange medium, that is, the fourth plate body 324 is a heat conduction structure, and the fourth plate body 324 has a certain heat conduction performance. For example, the material of the fourth plate body 324 can include aluminum, copper or other heat conductive materials.
[0212] Because the first flow channel groove 3111 is arranged on the first plate body 311, and the first heat exchange medium flows in the first flow channel groove 3111, the fourth plate body 324 exchanges heat with the first plate body 311, so as to adjust the temperature of the first heat exchange medium at different positions, thereby reducing the temperature difference of the first heat exchange medium at different positions in the flow channel structure 31.
[0213] At the position of the flow channel structure 31 with a higher temperature, the corresponding position of the fourth plate body 324 exchanges more heat with the first plate body 311, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 decreases greatly, and the temperature of the corresponding position of the fourth plate body 324 increases. The heat locally increased in the fourth plate body 324 will be dispersed to other positions (for example, positions with a lower temperature) of the fourth plate body 324, and the overall temperature of the fourth plate body 324 increases. At this time, at the position of the flow channel structure 31 with a lower temperature, according to the temperature relationship between the position of the flow channel structure 31 and the corresponding position of the fourth plate body 324, the fourth plate body 324 can release heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31, and the flow channel structure 31 can transfer heat to the fourth plate body 324, and the heat transferred is less, so that the temperature of the corresponding position of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decrease amplitude is smaller, so as to reduce the temperature difference of different positions of the flow channel structure 31.
[0214] Because the fourth plate body 324 is arranged on the side of the first plate body 311 facing the battery monomer 20, the fourth plate body 324 can also exchange heat with the battery monomer 20. During the heat exchange between the fourth plate body 324 and the first plate body 311 and the first heat exchange medium, the temperature distribution on the fourth plate body 324 is also relatively uniform. At this time, the fourth plate body 324 can exchange heat with each battery monomer 20 relatively uniformly, so as to reduce the temperature difference between the battery monomers 20.
[0215] In this embodiment, the fourth plate body 324 is arranged to cover the first flow channel groove 3111 and form the flow channel structure 31; the fourth plate body 324 is a heat-conducting structural member to exchange heat with the flow channel structure 31 through the fourth plate body 324, increase the temperature of the position with lower temperature in the flow channel structure 31 through the fourth plate body 324, and decrease the temperature of the position with higher temperature in the flow channel structure 31 through the fourth plate body 324.
[0216] Reference Figure 11 、 Figure 12 In some embodiments, the fourth plate body 324 is provided with a fifth cavity 3241, and the fifth cavity 3241 contains a fifth heat exchange medium configured to flow in the fifth cavity 3241.
[0217] The fifth cavity 3241 refers to a space structure arranged inside the third plate body 321, which can be a prismatic space, a cylindrical space or other space structure; the number of the fifth cavity 3241 can be one, two or more.
[0218] The fifth heat exchange medium refers to a medium capable of exchanging heat with the first heat exchange medium, which can include a liquid medium, a gaseous medium, a solid-liquid mixed medium, etc.; the material of the fifth heat exchange medium can include a refrigerant, for example, the fifth heat exchange medium can include tetrafluoroethane, difluoromethane, pentafluoroethane, etc., and the material of the fifth heat exchange medium can also include a cooling liquid, for example, the fifth heat exchange medium can include water, ethylene glycol solution, etc.
[0219] The fifth heat exchange medium can flow in the fifth cavity 3241 to transport and adjust heat. In the part of the flow channel structure 31 with higher temperature, the fifth heat exchange medium in the fifth cavity 3241 exchanges more heat with the corresponding part of the first plate body 311, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 decreases greatly, and at this time the fifth heat exchange medium carries more heat; then, the fifth heat exchange medium flows to the position corresponding to the part of the flow channel structure 31 with lower temperature, and the fifth heat exchange medium releases heat to the flow channel structure 31 to increase the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31, and the flow channel structure 31 can also transfer less heat to the fifth heat exchange medium, so that the temperature of the corresponding part of the flow channel structure 31 increases or the temperature decrease amplitude is smaller, thereby reducing the temperature difference between different parts of the flow channel structure 31.
[0220] In addition to being capable of exchanging heat with the first heat exchange medium, the fifth heat exchange medium is also capable of exchanging heat with the battery monomer 20 to control the temperature of the battery monomer 20.
[0221] In the embodiment, the fourth plate body 324 is arranged to cover the first flow channel groove 3111 and form the flow channel structure 31; meanwhile, the fifth cavity 3241 is arranged in the fourth plate body 324, and the flowable fifth heat exchange medium is arranged in the fifth cavity 3241, so as to transport and adjust the heat distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 through the flow of the fifth heat exchange medium, thereby achieving the effect of making the temperature distribution of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30 more uniform; the arrangement can not only achieve the effect of temperature equalization, but also reduce the space occupation of the refrigerant heat exchange assembly 30.

For example, the two ends of the second reinforcing member 3242 are respectively connected to the surfaces of the fifth cavity 3241 facing and away from the first plate body 311.
[0225] Since the fifth cavity 3241 is arranged in the fourth plate body 324, the strength of the fourth plate body 324 is relatively low, and the fourth plate body 324 has a risk of deformation. The deformation of the fourth plate body 324 can easily affect the flow of the second heat exchange medium in the fifth cavity 3241, and further affect the temperature equalization effect of the second heat exchange medium. Accordingly, the second reinforcing member 3242 is arranged to improve the strength of the fourth plate body 324, reduce the risk of deformation of the fourth plate body 324, and improve the support performance of the fourth plate body 324.
[0226] In the embodiment, the second reinforcing member 3242 is arranged in the fifth cavity 3241 to improve the strength of the fourth plate body 324, so that the fourth plate body 324 can better support the battery monomer 20.
