Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding technology for cooling plates of new energy vehicle batteries, and in particular to a welding structure for welding cooling plates of new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] High-frequency welding is typically used for cooling plates of new energy batteries, which involves welding aluminum parts by melting flux-cored wire at high temperatures. Flux-cored wire improves the fluidity of molten slag, reduces slag spatter, and enhances arc stability, thereby optimizing the welding process. On the other hand, it can improve the high-temperature oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance of the molten metal, giving the weld excellent resistance to hot cracking and low-temperature toughness.

[0003] However, flux-cored welding wire has poor uniformity during melting and requires high temperature field consistency during welding. Using annular welding discs instead of flux-cored welding wires is problematic because the discs are difficult to form and have low tolerance for assembly gaps. Therefore, a type of welding disc with high assembly tolerance and easy forming is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a welding structure for a cooling plate of a new energy battery, which solves the problems that have occurred in the background art.

[0005] Based on the above objectives, this utility model provides a welding structure for a new energy battery cooling plate, including a harmonica tube cooling plate and a current collector. The harmonica tube cooling plate and the current collector are welded together by a welding sheet. The welding sheet is annular with arc-shaped ends on both sides. Vertical cuts are provided at both ends of the welding sheet. An annular downward flange is provided at the bottom of the welding sheet. The left and right ends of the downward flange form two punching cuts with the left and right ends of the welding sheet, respectively. The cuts on the same side are connected to the punching cuts. The harmonica tube cooling plate is inserted into the welding sheet, and the welding sheet is inserted into the current collector. The harmonica tube cooling plate, the welding sheet, and the current collector are connected together.

[0006] Preferably, the top of the welding sheet is bent outward to form an upward-curved edge.

[0007] Preferably, the cut extends to the upper flange.

[0008] Preferably, a supporting and limiting boss is distributed in the middle of the lower flange, and the supporting and limiting boss is located on the inner side of the bottom end of the welding sheet.

[0009] Preferably, the harmonica tube cooling plate and the welding sheet are fitted with a clearance fit, and an assembly groove is opened at the top of the current collector, into which the welding sheet is inserted, and the welding sheet and the assembly groove are fitted with a clearance fit.

[0010] Preferably, the welding sheet is made of 4047 aluminum sheet.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses an annular welding piece to insert the harmonica tube cooling plate into the welding piece, which is then inserted into the current collector. This achieves the assembly of the harmonica tube and the current collector. The welding piece is then welded together using a high-frequency coil for heating, ensuring a stable bond between the harmonica tube and the current collector. The welding piece has cutouts at both ends, and two punched cutouts are formed between the two ends of the lower flange and the two ends of the welding piece. This creates two interconnected openings, forming a fault-tolerant structure with high tolerance for assembly gaps, acting like a spring to prevent over-assembly when dealing with rigid bodies. This structure is also easy to form. The welding piece has an upper flange for guiding the insertion of the harmonica tube cooling plate, making assembly convenient and smooth. Solder is filled into the upper flange and the harmonica tube cooling plate for welding. The melted solder has a guided flow direction, reducing the proportion of pinholes at the welding position of the cooling plate. This invention features a supporting and limiting boss in the middle of the lower flange, which is fixed to the bottom of the welding piece. The lower flange and the supporting and limiting boss together limit the insertion of the harmonica tube cooling plate, ensuring a stable assembly between the welding piece and the harmonica tube cooling plate. The welding piece is then assembled with the assembly groove of the current collector, achieving a tight fit. After assembly, a high-frequency coil heats and melts the welding piece and solder, welding the harmonica tube cooling plate and the current collector together. This increases the welding rate, improves the orderly flow of solder during welding, reduces the requirement for consistent temperature field, allows for instantaneous melting of the solder, and reduces the time required for molten solder to flow.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a welding structure for a new energy battery cooling plate includes a harmonica tube cooling plate 1 and a current collector 2. The harmonica tube cooling plate 1 and the current collector 2 are welded together by a welding piece 3. The welding piece 3 is annular with arc-shaped ends. Vertical cutouts 4 are provided at both ends of the welding piece 3. An annular downward flange 5 is provided at the bottom of the welding piece 3. The left and right ends of the downward flange 5 form two punching openings 6 between the left and right ends of the welding piece 3, respectively. The cutouts 4 and punching openings 6 on the same side are connected. The harmonica tube cooling plate 1 is inserted into the welding piece 3, and the welding piece 3 is inserted into the current collector 2, thus connecting the harmonica tube cooling plate 1, the welding piece 3, and the current collector 2 together. By setting the annular welding piece 3, the harmonica tube cooling plate 1 is inserted into the welding piece 3, and the welding piece 3 is then inserted into the current collector 2, thus assembling the harmonica tube 1 and the current collector 2. Then, the welding piece 3 is heated by a high-frequency coil for welding, so that the harmonica tube 1 and the current collector 2 are stably welded together. Cutting openings 4 are provided at both ends of the welding piece 3, and two punching openings 6 are formed between the two ends of the lower flange 5 and the two ends of the welding piece 3. In this way, there are two connected openings, forming a fault-tolerant structure with high tolerance for assembly gaps. It is equivalent to a spring, which can prevent over-assembly when dealing with rigid bodies, and this structure is easy to form.

[0021] The top of the welding piece 3 is bent outward to form an upper flange 7, and the cutting opening 4 extends to the upper flange 7. The upper flange 7 is used to guide the insertion of the harmonica tube cooling plate 1, which makes the assembly convenient and smooth. Solder is filled into the upper flange 7 and the harmonica tube cooling plate 1 for welding. In this way, the flow direction of the melted solder is guided, reducing the proportion of pinholes at the welding position of the cooling plate.

[0022] The lower flange 5 has a supporting and limiting boss 8 distributed in the middle, which is located on the inner side of the bottom end of the welding piece 3. The harmonica tube cooling plate 1 is clearance-fitted with the welding piece 3. The top of the current collector 2 has an assembly groove 9, and the welding piece 3 is inserted into the assembly groove 9 with clearance fit. The welding piece 3 is made of 4047 aluminum sheet. The lower flange 5 is provided with a supporting and limiting boss 8 in the middle and is fixed to the bottom of the welding piece 3. In this way, the lower flange 5 and the supporting and limiting boss 8 are used together to limit the insertion of the harmonica tube cooling plate 1. The welding piece 3 is stably assembled with the harmonica tube cooling plate 1. The welding piece 3 is then assembled with the assembly groove 9 of the current collector 2, which can achieve a tight assembly. After assembly, the welding piece and the solder are heated and melted by a high-frequency coil, so that the harmonica tube cooling plate 1 and the current collector 2 are welded together. This increases the welding rate, makes the solder flow orderly during the welding process, reduces the requirement for the consistency of the temperature field of the solder, and allows the solder to melt instantly, reducing the time required for the flow of molten solder.
