Thermal management devices, battery packs and electrical equipment
[0001] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on November 16, 2023, with application number 202323101859.5. The entire contents of the above application are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The present application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a thermal management device, a battery pack, and an electrical device. Background Art
[0003] The battery pack is the core power source of electric vehicles. When the battery pack experiences abnormal phenomena such as thermal runaway of the battery cells, the temperature and pressure inside the battery pack rise sharply and a large amount of gas is discharged. To avoid thermal runaway of the entire battery pack, the gas inside the battery pack needs to be discharged quickly.

In order to prevent the material ejected from the thermal runaway of the battery cells from clogging the pressure relief port of the crossbeam, the size of the pressure relief port needs to be limited to a smaller size. This setting method is likely to cause poor pressure relief, resulting in the bottom protective plate of the battery pack being destroyed by the high-pressure gas, and then causing thermal runaway of the entire battery pack.

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and do not have any special meaning.
[0034] After research, the inventor found that the battery pack of related technology usually uses an opening on the crossbeam to discharge the gas generated by thermal runaway to the outside of the explosion-proof valve of the box. In order to prevent the material ejected from the battery cell from clogging the pressure relief port of the crossbeam, the size of the pressure relief port needs to be limited to a smaller size. This setting method has at least the following problems: ① The small size of the pressure relief port leads to large flow resistance, which easily causes the pressure relief to be not smooth, causing the bottom protective plate of the battery pack to be destroyed by the high-pressure gas, and then causing the entire battery pack to thermal runaway; ② The material ejected from the thermal runaway of the battery cell can easily block the pressure relief port, resulting in not smooth pressure relief; ③ Setting a smaller pressure relief port on the crossbeam makes the process difficult to implement and the process efficiency is low.
[0035] In order to solve the above problems, as shown in Figures 1 to 5, this embodiment provides a thermal management device, which includes: a box body 100 and a tray 200 arranged on the box body 100, the box body 100 includes a frame 110 and a bottom guard plate 120, the inner wall of the frame 110 is provided with a first pressure relief port 130, the outer wall of the frame 110 is provided with a second pressure relief port 140, the interior of the frame 110 is provided with a pressure relief channel, the first pressure relief port 130 and the second pressure relief port 140 are both connected to the pressure relief channel, a filter element 300 is provided at the first pressure relief port 130, and an explosion-proof valve 400 is provided at the second pressure relief port 140, a pressure relief chamber is enclosed by the tray 200, the frame 110 and the bottom guard plate 120, the tray 200 is provided with a first exhaust port 210, and the first pressure relief port 130 and the first exhaust port 210 are both connected to the pressure relief chamber.
[0036] Specifically, when an abnormal phenomenon such as thermal runaway of the battery cell occurs in the battery pack, the gas can pass through the first exhaust port 210 to the pressure relief chamber, and then from the pressure relief chamber through the first pressure relief port 130 to the pressure relief channel, and finally from the pressure relief channel through the second pressure relief port 140 to be discharged outside the box body 100. Since the filter element 300 provided at the first pressure relief port 130 can filter the substances ejected by the thermal runaway of the battery cell, the first pressure relief port 130 is prevented from being blocked, so that the battery pack can be normally and smoothly depressurized. In addition, since the first pressure relief port 130 will not be blocked, the first pressure relief port 130 can be set larger than the pressure relief port of the battery pack in the related art, thereby increasing the exhaust speed of the battery pack; in addition, since there is no need to set a smaller pressure relief port on the beam, the process is easy to implement and the process efficiency is high.
[0037] In some embodiments, the opening area of the first pressure relief port 130 can be set to 1000 mm 2 ~2250mm 2 The specific value is determined according to the thermal runaway exhaust data of the single cell in the battery pack. For example, the size of the first pressure relief vent 130 is 150mm×15mm, 100mm×10mm, 150mm×10mm, 100mm×15mm, etc. By setting the opening area of the first pressure relief vent 130 within this range, it is possible to avoid not only the first pressure relief vent 130 being set too large and affecting the mechanical strength of the frame 110, but also the first pressure relief vent 130 being set too small and causing poor pressure relief.
[0038] In some embodiments, the filter element 300 is formed by die stamping. Because the filter element 300 can be continuously processed using the die, the process is easy to implement and highly efficient. The sheet metal thickness used in die stamping is 0.2-0.3 mm. The filter element 300 produced at this sheet metal thickness has high mechanical strength and high temperature resistance, not only capable of filtering substances ejected during thermal runaway of the battery cell, but also preventing flames from escaping the housing 100 and causing a greater safety incident.
[0039] In some embodiments, a first mounting hole is provided on the inner wall of the frame 110 near the first pressure relief port 130, and a second mounting hole is provided on the filter element 300. The filter element 300 is installed on the first pressure relief port 130 through the first mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the rivet. The installation is convenient and quick, and the first mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the rivet can firmly fix the filter element 300 on the first pressure relief port 130 to prevent the filter element 300 from loosening and causing the first pressure relief port 130 to be blocked.
[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2 and 4, the filter element 300 includes a filter plate 310 and a protrusion 320 provided on the filter plate 310. The protrusion 320 is provided on the side of the filter plate 310 away from the first pressure relief port 130. By providing the protrusion 320 on the side of the filter plate 310 away from the first pressure relief port 130, the core and other materials ejected by the battery cell due to thermal runaway can be blocked on the side of the filter plate 310 away from the first pressure relief port 130, thereby preventing the materials ejected by the battery cell due to thermal runaway from clogging the first pressure relief port 130 and achieving normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack.
[0041] In some embodiments, the area ratio of the protrusion 320 on the filter plate 310 is 50% to 80%, that is, the protrusion 320 is provided on 50% to 80% of the area on the side of the filter plate 310 away from the first pressure relief port 130. For example, the protrusion 320 is provided on 65% of the area on the side of the filter plate 310 away from the first pressure relief port 130. Setting the area ratio of the protrusion 320 within this range can not only ensure the rigidity of the filter plate 310, but also ensure the normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack.
[0042] In some embodiments, continuing to refer to Figures 2 and 4, the raised portion 320 is a curved raised portion, one end of the curved raised portion is connected to the filter plate, and the other end of the curved raised portion forms a second exhaust port 330 with the filter plate. The second exhaust port 330 is connected to the pressure relief chamber and the first pressure relief port 130. By forming the second exhaust port 330 between the curved raised portion and the filter plate, not only can the material ejected due to thermal runaway of the battery cell be blocked on the side of the filter plate 310 away from the first pressure relief port 130, but the gas generated by thermal runaway of the battery cell can also enter the pressure relief channel through the second exhaust port 330 and the first pressure relief port 130, thereby achieving normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack.
[0043] In some embodiments, the opening radius of the second exhaust port 330 is 3 mm to 4 mm, and the opening height of the second exhaust port 330 is 1 mm to 2 mm, wherein the projection of the second exhaust port 330 on the filter plate 310 is a semicircle, the opening radius refers to the radius of the semicircle, and the opening height refers to the distance between the end of the opening away from the filter plate and the filter plate 310. For example, the opening radius of the second exhaust port 330 is 3.6 mm, and the opening height of the second exhaust port 330 is 1.5 mm. By setting the opening radius and opening height of the second exhaust port 330 within this range, not only can the core and other materials ejected by the thermal runaway of the battery cell be blocked on the side of the filter plate 310 away from the first pressure relief port 130, but also the normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack can be ensured.
[0044] In some embodiments, in order to prevent the material ejected from the battery cell during thermal runaway from clogging the first pressure relief port 130, the curvature of the curved raised portion is greater than or equal to 90°. However, in order to form the second exhaust port 330, the curvature of the curved raised portion needs to be less than 180°. For example, the curvature of the curved raised portion can be 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, 140°, 150°, 160°, 170°, etc.
[0045] Continuing with reference to FIG4 , in a specific embodiment, the arc angle of the curved raised portion is 90°. This arrangement not only ensures that the raised portion 320 filters substances ejected from the battery cell due to thermal runaway, but also maximizes the opening size of the second exhaust port 330, thereby achieving normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack.
[0046] In some embodiments, continuing with reference to FIG4 , the protrusion 320 includes a plurality of protrusions 320, and the plurality of protrusions 320 are arranged along the length and width directions of the filter plate 310. For example, as shown in FIG4 , the plurality of protrusions 320 are arranged equidistantly along the length and width directions of the filter plate 310 to form an array. By providing the plurality of protrusions 320, not only can the material ejected due to thermal runaway of the battery cell be prevented from clogging the first pressure relief port 130, but also normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack can be achieved.
[0047] In some embodiments, multiple second mounting holes are provided on the filter plate 310 . For example, referring to FIG. 4 , three second mounting holes are provided on the filter plate 310 , and the three second mounting holes are evenly distributed on the filter plate 310 .
[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the frame 110 includes a first crossbeam 111, a second crossbeam 112, and two third crossbeams 113 disposed opposite each other. The first crossbeam 111 and the second crossbeam 112 are disposed opposite each other, and the ends of the two third crossbeams 113 are respectively connected to the first crossbeam 111 and the second crossbeam 112. For example, the first crossbeam 111 and the second crossbeam 112 can be the front crossbeam and the rear crossbeam of the frame 110, respectively, and the two third crossbeams 113 can be the side crossbeams of the frame 110.
[0049] In some embodiments, the first pressure relief vent 130 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the third crossbeam 113, and the second pressure relief vent 140 is disposed on the outer sidewall of the first crossbeam 111. For example, when the first crossbeam 111 and the second crossbeam 112 are the front and rear crossbeams of the frame 110, respectively, and the third crossbeam 113 is a side crossbeam of the frame 110, the first pressure relief vent 130 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the side crossbeam, and the second pressure relief vent 140 is disposed on the outer sidewall of the front crossbeam.
[0050] In some embodiments, a first pressure relief port 130 is provided on each of the two third beams 113. The number of the first pressure relief ports 130 on the two third beams 113 can be set as needed. For example, one first pressure relief port 130 is provided on each of the two third beams 113, two first pressure relief ports 130 are provided on each of the two third beams 113, three first pressure relief ports 130 are provided on each of the two third beams 113, etc. By providing the first pressure relief port 130 on both of the third beams 113, the gas in the battery pack can be discharged out of the box 100 more quickly when abnormal phenomena such as thermal runaway of the battery cells occur in the battery pack.
[0051] Of course, in this embodiment, multiple second pressure relief vents 140 can also be provided. The multiple second pressure relief vents 140 can be all provided on the outer wall of the first crossbeam 111, or they can be provided separately on the outer wall of the first crossbeam 111 and the outer wall of the second crossbeam 112. Then, the gas entering the pressure relief channel can be discharged outside the box body 100 through the multiple second pressure relief vents 140, thereby increasing the exhaust speed of the battery pack. For example, two second pressure relief vents 140 can be provided, and the two second pressure relief vents 140 can be provided on the outer wall of the first crossbeam 111 and the outer wall of the second crossbeam 112 respectively.
[0052] In some embodiments, the first beam 111 and the two third beams 113 are hollow, the interior spaces of the two third beams 113 are connected to the interior space of the first beam 111, and the interior spaces of the first beam 111 and the two third beams 113 together form a pressure relief channel.
[0053] In some embodiments, continuing with reference to FIG3 , the first pressure relief port 130 is disposed at an end of the third beam 113 away from the first beam 111. In other words, the first pressure relief port 130 is disposed at an end of the third beam 113 close to the second beam 112. By disposing the first pressure relief port 130 at an end of the third beam 113 away from the first beam 111, the pressure relief channel can be made as long as possible to discharge the gas in the battery pack out of the box body 100 faster.
[0054] In some embodiments, a first pressure relief port 130 is provided on both third beams 113 , and the orthographic projection of the first pressure relief port 130 provided on the inner side wall of one of the third beams 113 on the other third beam 113 partially or completely overlaps with the first pressure relief port 130 provided on the inner side wall of the other third beam 113 .
[0055] In other embodiments, the first pressure relief port 130 is provided on both third beams 113 , and the orthographic projection of the first pressure relief port 130 provided on the inner side wall of one of the third beams 113 on the other third beam 113 does not overlap with the first pressure relief port 130 provided on the inner side wall of the other third beam 113 .
[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the tray 200 includes a tray bottom plate 220 and side panels 230 arranged around the tray bottom plate 220. The side panels 230 are perpendicular to the tray bottom plate 220. The side panels 230 and the tray bottom plate 220 together form a first accommodation space. The first accommodation space is configured to accommodate the battery cell 500, and the first exhaust port 210 is set on the tray bottom plate 220.
[0057] In some embodiments, the shape of the first exhaust port 210 is the same as that of the battery cell 500 . For example, when the battery pack is a cylindrical battery pack, the shape of the battery cell 500 is cylindrical, and the shape of the first exhaust port 210 is circular.
[0058] Furthermore, the tray bottom plate 220 is provided with a plurality of first exhaust ports 210. The battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells 500. The plurality of battery cells 500 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of first exhaust ports 210, and each battery cell 500 is provided on its corresponding first exhaust port 210. In other words, the arrangement of the plurality of first exhaust ports 210 is the same as the arrangement of the plurality of battery cells 500. For example, as shown in FIG5 , the center point of each of the plurality of first exhaust ports 210 and the line connecting the center points of two adjacent first exhaust ports 210 form an equilateral triangle.
[0059] In some embodiments, the bottom guard plate 120 is connected to the frame 110 by bolts. In order to improve the ability of the bottom guard plate 120 to resist deformation, the bottom guard plate 120 in this embodiment can be made of steel plate. The melting point and mechanical strength of steel material are relatively high, and it is not easily broken under high temperature conditions.
[0060] This embodiment also provides a battery pack, as shown in Figure 6, which includes the above-mentioned thermal management device. By setting a filter element 300 at the first pressure relief port 130, the battery pack can filter the substances ejected by the battery cell 500 due to thermal runaway, thereby preventing the substances ejected by the battery cell 500 from thermal runaway from clogging the first pressure relief port 130, thereby achieving normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack; in addition, since the first pressure relief port 130 will not be blocked by the substances ejected by the battery cell 500 due to thermal runaway, the first pressure relief port 130 can be set larger than the pressure relief port of the battery pack in the related art, thereby increasing the exhaust speed of the battery pack.
[0061] In some embodiments, continuing with reference to FIG6 , the battery pack further includes a plurality of battery cells 500 , and the plurality of battery cells 500 correspond one-to-one to the plurality of first exhaust ports 210 , and each battery cell 500 is disposed on its corresponding first exhaust port 210 . When thermal runaway occurs in the battery cell 500 , the gas generated by the thermal runaway of the battery cell 500 can enter the pressure relief chamber through the corresponding first exhaust port 210 , and then enter the pressure relief channel from the pressure relief chamber through the first pressure relief port 130 , thereby achieving normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack.
[0062] In some embodiments, continuing with reference to FIG6 , the battery pack further includes a top cover 600, which is disposed on the case body 100. The top cover 600 and the case body 100 are combined to form a second accommodation space, and the second accommodation space is configured to accommodate the battery cells 500 and the tray 200. By arranging the battery cells 500 and the tray 200 in the second accommodation space formed by the top cover 600 and the case body 100, damage to the battery cells 500 can be avoided, thereby improving the service life of the battery pack.
[0063] This embodiment also provides an electrical device, which includes the above-mentioned battery pack. The battery pack used in the electrical device can filter the substances ejected by the battery cell 500 due to thermal runaway by setting a filter element 300 at the first pressure relief port 130, thereby preventing the substances ejected by the battery cell 500 due to thermal runaway from clogging the first pressure relief port 130, achieving normal and smooth pressure relief of the battery pack, avoiding thermal runaway of the entire battery pack, and improving the safety of the electrical device.
