Description

[0002] At present, after the battery is stacked into a cylindrical power battery module, there are many unusable gaps in the adjacent area of the radial arc surface and the arc surface, which leads to a low volume grouping rate of the module.

The heat-conducting and heat-soaking medium is generally heat-conducting pouring sealant or heat-conducting silicone rubber pad, which has a large density. Not only does it reduce the volume grouping rate, but it also greatly reduces the weight grouping rate. The heat dissipation system is relatively complex, and the reliability and safety are poor. In addition, the long endurance advantage of the unmanned aerial vehicle is sacrificed. The snake-shaped pipe heat dissipation scheme also has a major defect, that is, the contact area between the heat-conducting and heat-soaking medium and the battery is small, and it is difficult to achieve high heat dissipation power.
