DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] Referring to Figure 1 , the present application provides a battery pack, which comprises a battery module and a fan (not shown in the figure), and the fan is used for blowing air towards a plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 in a first direction. In order to clearly describe the embodiments, Figure 1 In the embodiment, the X direction represents the first direction. In actual application, the fan blows air towards the plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 in the first direction, and the first direction is usually the direction in which the plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 are arranged in sequence. The fan blows air in the first direction, which can accelerate heat dissipation between the cylindrical batteries 20 and avoid a large temperature difference between the battery cells in the module.

[0027] Referring to Figure 2 , the above-mentioned battery module comprises a support assembly 110, a plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 and a first heat dissipation block 30. The plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 are arranged in the first direction on the support assembly 110. The first heat dissipation block 30 comprises a base 301 and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 302. The base 301 surrounds the side surface of the cylindrical battery 20 in the radial direction, and the heat dissipation fins 302 are arranged at intervals on the side of the base 301 away from the cylindrical battery 20.

[0028] In practical applications, the support assembly 110 itself defines a first direction, which can be the length direction of the support assembly 110, so that the support assembly 110 can be installed with a larger number of cylindrical batteries 20, thereby improving the utilization rate of the device. The first heat dissipation block 30 is used for dissipating heat and cooling the cylindrical battery 20. Specifically, the first heat dissipation block 30 includes a base 301 and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 302. The base 301 surrounds the side surface of the cylindrical battery 20. The side surface of the cylindrical battery 20 has a larger area. The base 301 is in contact with the side surface, which can increase the heat dissipation area. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 302 are arranged at intervals on the side of the base 301 away from the cylindrical battery 20. The heat dissipation fins 302 should be located outside the support assembly 110. The base 301 transfers the heat generated by the cylindrical battery 20 to the heat dissipation fins 302. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 302 increase the contact area of the base 301 with air or other cooling medium. Through heat transfer and heat exchange, the heat dissipation fins 302 dissipate heat to the outside of the support assembly 110.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the first heat dissipation block 30 is arranged on the side surface of the cylindrical battery 20. The first heat dissipation block 30 includes a base 301 and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 302. The base 301 surrounds the side surface of the cylindrical battery 20, thereby increasing the contact area of the first heat dissipation block 30 with the cylindrical battery 20. Thus, the heat transfer effect of the cylindrical battery 20 and the first heat dissipation block 30 is improved. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 302 increase the contact area of the first heat dissipation block 30 with the external air and other cooling medium, thereby accelerating the cooling effect of the first heat dissipation block 30 and achieving the function of rapidly dissipating heat of the battery module.

[0030] It can be understood that the heat dissipation fins 302 and the base 301 are made of materials with good heat conduction function. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation device of the present application uses a fan, and the heat dissipation medium is air. At this time, the heat dissipation fins 302 can be made of metal structures such as fins. In other embodiments, the heat dissipation device can also use a liquid cooling system or other equipment, and the heat dissipation medium can be cooling liquid. At this time, the heat dissipation fins 302 can be heat pipe heat dissipation fins 302, which realize the heat dissipation effect through the circulation of the cooling liquid.

[0031] It should be noted that the axial direction of the cylindrical battery 20 is perpendicular to the first direction, the radial direction of the cylindrical battery 20 is parallel to the first direction, and the side surface of the cylindrical battery 20 refers to the outer surface in the circumferential direction thereof.

[0032] Again referring to Figure 1 , the support assembly 110 includes a first support 101 and a second support 102. The first support 101 is provided with a first connecting column 103 facing the second support 102. The second support 102 is provided with a second connecting column 104 facing the first support 101. The first connecting column 103 and the second connecting column 104 are connected together. The first connecting column 103 and / or the second connecting column 104 clamps the base 301.

[0033] In order to clearly describe the embodiments, Figure 1 The Y direction represents the width direction of the support assembly 110; in actual applications, the first support 101 and the second support 102 are respectively located at opposite sides of the support assembly 110 along the width direction, the first support 101 and the second support 102 are connected together through the first connecting column 103 and the second connecting column 104, and the base 301 is clamped between the first support 101 and the second support 102 to facilitate fixing the base 301. In this way, when disassembling, the first support 101 and the second support 102 can be separated only by separating the first connecting column 103 and the second connecting column 104, and the disassembly of the support assembly 110 is completed. Specifically, the first connecting column 103 and the second connecting column 104 can be connected in a detachable manner, such as threaded connection, clamping or plug-in connection, etc., to improve the efficiency of assembly and disassembly.

[0034] The base 301 can be connected with the first connecting column 103, or connected with the second connecting column 104, or connected with both the first connecting column 103 and the second connecting column 104, which is not limited in the present application.

[0035] Referring to Figure 2 In an embodiment, the heat sink 302 can include a plurality of first fins 3021 and a plurality of second fins 3022, the plurality of first fins 3021 are arranged at opposite ends of the base 301, the plurality of first fins 3021 and the base 301 form a groove 303, and the plurality of second fins 3022 are arranged in the groove 303, the thickness of the first fin 3021 is greater than the thickness of the second fin 3022.

[0036] In actual applications, the base 301 is usually provided with the first fin 3021 at opposite sides along the width direction thereof, the base 301 and the first fins 3021 at the opposite sides form the groove 303, and the plurality of second fins 3022 are sequentially arranged in the groove 303 along the width direction of the base 301. The first fin 3021 is mainly used to provide a mounting position for the second fin 3022. Since the plurality of second fins 3022 are located between the two first fins 3021, the first fin 3021 is more likely to contact external objects than the second fin 3022. In order to avoid damage to the first fin 3021, the thickness of the first fin 3021 is set to a relatively large size to enhance the structural strength of the first fin 3021. The second fin 3022 is mainly used for heat dissipation, and the number, thickness and spacing of the second fin 3022 will affect the heat dissipation performance of the heat sink 302. Generally speaking, the more the second fins 3022, the thinner the second fins 3022, and the smaller the spacing, the better the heat dissipation effect. Therefore, the thickness of the second fin 3022 is set to a relatively small thickness, and the spacing between adjacent two second fins 3022 is also smaller than the spacing between adjacent two first fins 3021, thereby increasing the heat dissipation function of the heat sink 302.

[0037] Again referring toFigure 2 In an embodiment, the plurality of fins 302 are arranged in parallel to each other, and the heat dissipation channels 304 are formed between adjacent fins 302. When the plurality of fins 302 are arranged in parallel, the heat dissipation channels 304 between adjacent fins 302 can form a relatively stable and regular air duct, which is conducive to the smooth flow of air and reduces the generation of air turbulence and vortex, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between air and the fins 302.

[0038] Again referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the extension direction of the heat dissipation channels 304 is the same as the first direction.

[0039] Since the first direction is the arrangement direction of the plurality of cylindrical batteries 20, the heat dissipation channels 304 are the same as the first direction, so that the heat dissipation channels 304 can uniformly contact each cylindrical battery 20 with the same contact area, which is conducive to uniform heat dissipation of the plurality of cylindrical batteries 20, so that the temperatures of the cylindrical batteries 20 are relatively close, avoiding that the heat dissipation efficiencies of the cylindrical batteries 20 are different, resulting in that some cylindrical batteries 20 can be well cooled, while some other cylindrical batteries 20 are not well cooled, thereby causing local overheating.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the battery module further includes a first silica gel pad 40, which is arranged between the base 301 and the cylindrical batteries 20.

[0041] In actual application, in order to improve the heat transfer efficiency between the cylindrical batteries 20 and the base 301, the first silica gel pad 40 is arranged between the base 301 and the cylindrical batteries 20. Since the cylindrical batteries 20 and the base 301 are both rigid structures, the surfaces of the cylindrical batteries 20 and the base 301 cannot be absolutely flat, and there will be a small gap when the two are directly contacted, which will increase the resistance of heat conduction. The first silica gel pad 40 has good flexibility and elasticity, and can fully fill the gap between the cylindrical batteries 20 and the base 301, so that the two form a close contact, thereby greatly reducing the thermal resistance and improving the heat conduction efficiency, ensuring that the heat generated by the cylindrical batteries 20 can be more effectively transferred to the base 301, and then transferred to the fins 302 for dissipation.

[0042] It can be understood that the first silica gel pad 40 is made of a flexible and heat-conducting material. In addition, in some other embodiments, the first silica gel pad 40 can also be replaced by other heat dissipation materials such as heat dissipation silicone grease.

[0043] Referring to Figure 5The base 301 is provided with a plurality of spaced limiting grooves 3011, the cylindrical battery 20 is assembled in the limiting groove 3011, and the base 301 is inserted between the adjacent cylindrical batteries 20 to surround part of the side wall of the cylindrical battery 20.

[0044] In actual application, the limiting groove 3011 is in an arc structure, the arc structure is more suitable for the side surface of the cylindrical battery 20, in the installation, the cylindrical battery 20 is more fitted to the limiting groove 3011, and the base 301 between the two adjacent limiting grooves 3011 is inserted between the two cylindrical batteries 20, on the one hand, the contact area of the base 301 and the cylindrical battery 20 is increased, which helps to improve the heat transfer efficiency, on the other hand, the arrangement of the cylindrical battery 20 is more compact, and the space utilization rate is higher. The first silica gel pad 40 can be attached to the limiting groove 3011, and the gap between the cylindrical battery 20 and the groove wall of the limiting groove 3011 is filled.

[0045] In an embodiment, the ratio of the depth of the base 301 into the cylindrical battery 20 and the diameter of the cylindrical battery 20 is α, and 0.5≤α≤1. That is, the limiting groove 3011 surrounds at least half of the side surface area of the cylindrical battery 20, which greatly improves the heat dissipation area of the base 301 and the cylindrical battery 20, and is conducive to rapid heat dissipation of the cylindrical battery 20. At the same time, the limiting groove 3011 surrounds most of the cylindrical battery 20, which can improve the stability of the cylindrical battery 20 assembly and avoid shaking of the cylindrical battery 20 due to external impact.

[0046] Again refer to Figure 3 The plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 are arranged in at least three columns along a second direction, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and a wind channel parallel to the first direction is formed between each adjacent column of cylindrical batteries 20.

[0047] For the sake of clear description, Figure 3 The Z direction represents the second direction, and can also be the height direction of the support assembly 110. In actual application, the plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 are arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, and the plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 can be closely arranged when stacked, thereby realizing efficient use of space and improving the energy density of the battery pack. A wind channel parallel to the first direction is formed between each adjacent column of cylindrical batteries 20, which helps to realize the heat dissipation effect of the cylindrical batteries 20 in the battery module. When the fan blows in the first direction, the wind channel between each adjacent column of cylindrical batteries 20 flows faster, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0048] And the battery module further comprises a second heat dissipation block 50, the base 301 is in contact with the cylindrical batteries 20 located in the first column and the last column, and the second heat dissipation block 50 surrounds the side surface of the cylindrical batteries 20 located in the remaining columns in the radial direction.

[0049] In practical application, the support assembly 110 has a top and a bottom along its height direction (i.e. the second direction), and the base 301 is mainly arranged at the top and the bottom of the support assembly 110. Therefore, the cylindrical batteries 20 located at the top and the bottom of the support assembly 110 are in contact with the base 301 and dissipate heat through the heat dissipation function of the base 301, while the cylindrical batteries 20 located at the middle of the support assembly 110 dissipate heat through the second heat dissipation blocks 50, which surround the cylindrical batteries 20 located at the middle. The second heat dissipation blocks 50 dissipate heat generated by the cylindrical batteries 20 through heat exchange with the cylindrical batteries 20 to achieve the heat dissipation function.

[0050] It should be noted that the middle of the support assembly 110 described above refers to the part located between the top and the bottom along the second direction.

[0051] Referring again to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the second heat dissipation blocks 50 are multiple, and the multiple second heat dissipation blocks 50 are arranged between the cylindrical batteries 20 along the first direction. The opposite sides of the second heat dissipation blocks 50 are arranged in the air duct.

[0052] In practical application, along the first direction, the opposite sides of the second heat dissipation blocks 50 are provided with arc-shaped grooves, which are used to surround the side surfaces of the cylindrical batteries 20. Therefore, the second heat dissipation blocks 50 are clamped between two cylindrical batteries 20. Along the second direction, the cylindrical batteries 20 in adjacent two rows form an air duct, and the opposite sides of the second heat dissipation blocks 50 are located in the air duct. In this way, when the fan blows air in the first direction, the cold air exchanges heat with the two sides of the second heat dissipation blocks 50 through the air duct, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the second heat dissipation blocks 50.

[0053] In an embodiment, the ratio of the depth of the second heat dissipation blocks 50 surrounding the cylindrical batteries 20 to the diameter of the cylindrical batteries 20 is β, and 0.5≤β≤1. That is, the arc-shaped grooves on the opposite sides of the second heat dissipation blocks 50 at least surround half of the side surface area of the cylindrical batteries 20, thereby increasing the contact area between the second heat dissipation blocks 50 and the cylindrical batteries 20, facilitating heat exchange between the cylindrical batteries 20 and the second heat dissipation blocks 50, and improving the heat dissipation efficiency. Moreover, the arc-shaped grooves surround most of the cylindrical batteries 20, which can improve the connection stability between the cylindrical batteries 20 and the second heat dissipation blocks 50 and avoid shaking of the cylindrical batteries 20 due to external impact.

[0054] Referring again to Figure 4 , the battery module further comprises a second silica gel pad 60, which is arranged between the second heat dissipation blocks 50 and the cylindrical batteries 20. Specifically, the second silica gel pad 60 is attached to the arc-shaped grooves to fully fill the gap between the cylindrical batteries 20 and the second heat dissipation blocks 50, so that the two are in close contact, reducing thermal resistance and improving heat conduction efficiency.

[0055] It can be understood that the second silica gel pad 60 is made of a material that is flexible and has good heat conduction performance. In addition, in some other embodiments, the second silica gel pad 60 can also be replaced by other heat dissipation materials such as heat dissipation silicone grease.

[0056] Different from the prior art, the battery module and the battery pack provided by the embodiments of the present application are provided. The battery pack comprises a battery module and a fan. The battery module comprises a support assembly 110, a plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 and a first heat dissipation block 30. The plurality of cylindrical batteries 20 are arranged along a first direction on the support assembly 110. The first heat dissipation block 30 comprises a base 301 and a plurality of heat dissipation fins 302. The base 301 surrounds the side of the cylindrical battery 20 in the radial direction. The heat dissipation fins 302 are arranged at intervals on the side of the base 301 away from the cylindrical battery 20. Compared with the prior art, the first heat dissipation block 30 is arranged on the side of the cylindrical battery 20. The first heat dissipation block 30 comprises the base 301 and the plurality of heat dissipation fins 302. The base 301 surrounds the side of the cylindrical battery 20, thereby increasing the contact area of the first heat dissipation block 30 and the cylindrical battery 20, and improving the heat transfer effect of the cylindrical battery 20 and the first heat dissipation block 30. The plurality of heat dissipation fins 302 increase the contact area of the first heat dissipation block 30 and the external air and other cooling media, thereby accelerating the cooling effect of the first heat dissipation block 30 and realizing the rapid heat dissipation function of the battery module.

[0057] It should be noted that all directional indications, such as upper, lower, left, right, front, back, etc., in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement condition, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture, and if the specific posture changes, the directional indications also change accordingly.

When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element through a middle element.
