Description

[0002] In response to the increasingly stringent performance requirements of 1P104S battery devices, improvements have been made to the original structure. The battery casing structure is crucial in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles, as it directly relates to the structural strength, sealing performance, and lightweight design of the battery casing.

[0003] With the surge in demand for extended driving range and fast charging capabilities from new energy vehicles, the energy density and heat load of large-module batteries have increased significantly, posing a severe challenge to traditional lower-level battery structures: air-cooled or single-channel liquid-cooled designs cannot adapt to the high heat generation rate of large-module batteries, local overheating leads to accelerated battery performance degradation and poses a risk of thermal runaway. Furthermore, unreasonable coolant flow channel layout and uneven flow resistance distribution can easily create "dead zones," resulting in low heat exchange efficiency and hindering the improvement of fast charging speeds. At the same time, traditional enclosures rely on static sealant or welding connections, which are prone to micro-cracks under long-term vibration conditions, allowing moisture intrusion to cause insulation failure.
