DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The following are specific embodiments of the present application and further describe the technical solutions of the present application in conjunction with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0041] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement condition, etc. between components in a certain posture (as shown in the drawings), and if the certain posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0042] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the liquid cooling assembly for the battery comprises a liquid cooling fin 321.

[0043] The liquid-cooled fin 321 is preferably an integrally extruded aluminum profile, with its outer wall along the thickness direction used to fix the battery cell 310. The integrally extruded aluminum profile not only improves structural strength but also facilitates the mass production of the liquid-cooled fin 321. Liquid-cooled channels 322 are provided inside the liquid-cooled fin 321 that contact the main surface 311 (i.e., the large surface) of the battery cell 310. These channels 322 are used to increase the heat exchange efficiency between the liquid-cooled fin 321 and the battery cell 310.

[0044] In this design, the structure of the liquid cooling channel 322 is configured to absorb the lateral compressive force generated by the expansion of the battery cell 310 while exchanging heat with the battery cell 310 fixed on the liquid cooling fins 321.

[0045] Specifically, the liquid cooling channel 322 includes deformable sections 322a, which extend along a direction perpendicular to the liquid cooling channel 322 (i.e., Figure 3 The deformable sections 322a are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction to form heat exchange channels for fluid passage. Figure 3 It has a continuous undulating structure in the left and right directions. This structure is used in the liquid-cooled fins 321 under the influence of the longitudinal direction. Figure 3 When subjected to compressive force in the left and right directions, elastic deformation occurs, thereby forming an elastic deformation space that absorbs the lateral expansion of the battery cell 310.

[0046] Furthermore, since the liquid-cooled fins 321 are integrally extruded aluminum profiles, the deformable section can still recover synchronously with the battery cell 310 after the battery cell 310 recovers. In this way, by ensuring that the battery cell 310 is always in close contact with the liquid-cooled fins 321, effective heat exchange with the battery cell 310 can be maintained continuously, and its deformation can be absorbed.

[0047] Both ends of the liquid-cooled fins 321 are used to fix the battery cell 310. (Refer to...) Figure 3 During operation, the fluid in the liquid cooling channel 322 exchanges heat with the battery cell 310. Since the liquid cooling fins 321 in this design have a liquid cooling channel 322 inside that contacts the main surface 311 of the battery cell 310, the main surface 311 of the battery cell 310 can achieve better heat exchange effect by introducing liquid cooling fluid into the liquid cooling channel 322.

[0048] Furthermore, when cell 310 expands, refer to Figure 3 The battery cell 310 will apply an edge-to-edge cooling force to the liquid-cooled fins 321. Figure 3 Thrust in the left and right directions. Due to the presence of the deformable section 322a, the liquid-cooled fins 321 will... Figure 3The deformation in the left and right directions provides space for the expansion of the cell 310. In this way, the internal space of the liquid-cooled fins 321 itself reserves space for the expansion of the cell 310, eliminating the need for additional cushioning materials, greatly reducing the space occupied within the battery pack, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing overall cost.

[0049] To further improve the performance of the liquid-cooled fins 321, this solution also includes a limiting section. The limiting section is provided with spaced limiting protrusions 322b. The limiting protrusions 322b extend along the inner wall of the liquid-cooled flow channel 322. The distance between their ends and the inner wall of the liquid-cooled flow channel 322 is positively correlated with the elastic deformation of the deformable section 322a, which is used to constrain the lateral contraction amplitude of the liquid-cooled flow channel 322.

[0050] Reference Figure 3 The purpose of the limiting protrusion 322b is to provide a limit for the deformation of the liquid cooling fins 321. The liquid cooling channel 322 has a flow path along... Figure 3 The first inner wall and the second inner wall are arranged in the left and right directions. Both the first inner wall and the second inner wall are provided with limiting protrusions 322b. When the deformable section 322a undergoes elastic deformation to the limit state, it abuts against the limiting protrusions 322b to prevent the deformation of the liquid-cooled fin 321 from exceeding its elastic deformation limit, thereby avoiding irreversible damage to the structure of the liquid-cooled fin 321.

[0051] Preferably, the limiting protrusions 322b are arranged in a staggered manner on the inner wall of the liquid cooling channel 322. Specifically, refer to... Figure 3 Following a top-to-bottom arrangement, a limiting protrusion 322b is placed on the right side wall of the liquid cooling channel 322, followed by a limiting protrusion 322b on the left side wall, and then another limiting protrusion 322b on the right side wall, and so on. This staggered arrangement can effectively disperse stress and avoid structural failure caused by local overload.

[0052] To enable the deformable section 322a to elastically deform under compressive pressure on the liquid-cooled fin 321, the continuous undulating structure of the deformable section 322a is one of a wave shape, a sawtooth shape, or a sinusoidal waveform. To make the structure of the limiting section more robust, so that the limiting protrusion 322b can effectively limit the deformation of the liquid-cooled fin 321, the cross-section of the limiting protrusion 322b is trapezoidal. Preferably, the wall thickness of both the limiting protrusion 322b and the deformable section 322a is 0.5 ± 0.05 mm. This design ensures both sufficient mechanical strength and good thermal conductivity.

[0053] The liquid cooling fin 321 comprises a liquid cooling plate body 321a and a liquid cooling fin wing 321b, the liquid cooling flow channel 322 is arranged in the liquid cooling plate body 321a, the main surface 311 of the battery cell 310 is fixed with the liquid cooling plate body 321a, and the sealing edge 312 of the battery cell 310 is in close contact with the liquid cooling fin wing 321b.

[0054] The liquid cooling fin wing 321b is preferably a solid structure, most of the heat generated by the battery cell 310 is exchanged with the liquid cooling fin 321 in the manner of being conducted to the liquid cooling plate body 321a through the main surface 311 of the battery cell 310, and the rest of the heat is exchanged with the liquid cooling fin 321 in the manner of being conducted to the liquid cooling fin wing 321b through the two sealing edges 312 of the battery cell 310.

[0055] In one embodiment, the liquid cooling fin 321 is provided with a liquid cooling fin wing 321b arranged at one end of the liquid cooling plate body 321a in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the liquid cooling flow channel 322, so that the cross section of the liquid cooling fin 321 is in T-shaped structure (not shown in the figure).

[0056] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the liquid cooling fin 321 is provided with two liquid cooling fin wings 321b arranged at two ends in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the liquid cooling flow channel 322, so that the cross section of the liquid cooling fin 321 is in H-shaped structure.

[0057] In this scheme, two or more battery cells 310 are arranged on both sides of the liquid cooling fin 321, and the main surface 311 of the battery cell 310 is fixed with the surface of the liquid cooling fin 321 through the heat-conducting structural adhesive.

[0058] The heat-conducting structural adhesive is a special adhesive widely used in power batteries, which not only has the bonding function of traditional adhesives, but also has excellent heat-conducting performance. This material is used for bonding between the main surface 311 of the battery cell 310 and the liquid cooling fin 321, which is used to ensure that the heat inside the battery can be effectively conducted into the liquid cooling flow channel 322, thereby improving the safety and service life of the battery.

[0059] Preferably, the sealing edge 312 of the battery cell 310 and the liquid cooling fin wing 321b are also fixed by the heat-conducting structural adhesive.

[0060] The scheme also includes an FPC support 330 and a tab welding support 340, the FPC support 330 is provided with an FPC adapter copper bar 331, and the tab welding support 340 is provided with a tab copper bar 341.

[0061] The battery cells 310 on the liquid cooling fin 321 are arranged in multiple vertical series, and each battery cell 310 includes a tab 313. The tabs 313 between two adjacent battery cells 310 on the same side of the liquid cooling fin 321 are overlapped and extended to the end of the liquid cooling fin 321 along the height direction through the FPC adapter copper bar 331. The tabs 313 between the battery cells 310 on both sides of the end of the liquid cooling fin 321 are electrically connected through the tab copper bar 341.

[0062] FPC refers to Flexible Printed Circuit in this scheme. It is a kind of printed circuit board made of flexible substrate, which can be bent or folded to a certain extent to adapt to narrow or curved space. In this scheme, the FPC adapter copper bar 331 on the FPC support 330 functions to electrically connect the top or bottom surface of the battery cell 310 to the battery management system (BMS), facilitating the FPC to collect voltage, etc.

[0063] FPC has the advantages of light weight, small size, and flexibility, and is very suitable for application in power battery systems with limited space and high energy density requirements. In addition, FPC can also be customized according to actual needs to provide different electrical performance and mechanical characteristics to meet the use requirements in different application scenarios. By using FPC, the overall performance and reliability of the battery liquid cooling assembly 320 can be improved, and a more compact design can also be achieved.

[0064] This scheme also includes a positioning structure 350 for fixing the FPC support 330 on the liquid cooling fin 321. The liquid cooling fin 321 includes two oppositely arranged first and second liquid cooling fin wings. (In this scheme, refer to Figure 2 The lower liquid cooling fin wing 321b is defined as the first liquid cooling fin wing, and the upper liquid cooling fin wing 321b is defined as the second liquid cooling fin wing. The positioning structure 350 includes a positioning hole 351 provided on the first liquid cooling fin wing, and a positioning column matching the positioning hole 351 provided on the FPC support 330; a buckle 352 provided on the second liquid cooling fin wing, and a clamping groove 332 provided on the FPC support 330, the buckle 352 and the clamping groove 332 forming a clamping structure.

[0065] During installation, the FPC support 330 is preliminarily positioned by inserting the positioning column on the FPC support 330 into the positioning hole 351 on the first liquid cooling fin. Then, the position of the FPC support 330 is adjusted gently, and the buckle 352 on the second liquid cooling fin is aligned and inserted into the clamping groove 332 on the FPC support 330, thereby completing the fixation of the FPC support 330 on the liquid cooling fin 321.

[0066] The scheme also provides a battery module unit 300, comprising: the liquid cooling assembly 320 for the battery; the liquid cooling plug 360, the liquid cooling fin 321 is provided with the liquid cooling plug 360 at both ends along the extension direction of the liquid cooling flow channel 322, and the liquid cooling plug 360 is used to constitute the fluid inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling flow channel 322.

[0067] In the scheme, the liquid cooling plug 360 can be fixed on the liquid cooling fin 321 by welding. Before welding, the installation accuracy of the liquid cooling plug 360 can be improved by arranging a positioning member between the liquid cooling plug 360 and the liquid cooling fin 321. Of course, if the liquid cooling fin 321 is provided with the tab welding support 340 at both ends, the tab welding support 340 can be designed to have a relief structure, so that the liquid cooling plug 360 is more easily installed on the liquid cooling fin.

The grooves can cooperate with the liquid cooling flow channel 322 in the liquid cooling fin 321, so as to form the liquid cooling circuit.

[0069] In another embodiment, the deformable section 322a in the liquid cooling fin 321 can be directly cut, and the liquid cooling plug 360 with grooves with uniform thickness can also be used to form the liquid cooling circuit.

[0072] The battery module units 300 are isolated from each other by the heat insulation material 210 to prevent thermal runaway from spreading from one unit to another.

[0073] The battery of the present solution comprises a first flexible printed circuit board 410, a second flexible printed circuit board 420 and a third flexible printed circuit board 430.
