[0042] Implementation Methods of the Application

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. The described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application.

[0045] Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 5, a battery pack includes: a case 10, multiple batteries 20 and multiple brackets 30; the case 10 has a accommodating cavity 101; multiple batteries 20 are arranged at intervals in the accommodating cavity 101, and a gap 201 is provided between two adjacent batteries 20; the bracket 30 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 101, and the bracket 30 includes a bracket body 301 and at least one protrusion 302 surrounding the bracket body 301, the bracket body 301 is sealed with the battery 20, and the protrusion 302 is provided on the side of the bracket body 301 away from the battery 20; the protrusion 302 is located in the gap 201, the protrusion 302 between two adjacent brackets 30 is sealed, and the protrusion 302 isolates part of the gap 201 to form a flow channel 40 for liquid diversion.

[0046] It should be noted that in the battery pack structure of the present application, the gap 201 separated by the protrusion 302 of the bracket 30 creates a flow channel 40, which can guide the coolant and meet the expansion requirements of the battery shell. The coolant flows between the battery cells 20, achieving a soaking effect on at least a portion of the battery shell, which can increase cooling efficiency and avoid cooling dead spots. This can quickly cool the individual cells, ensure battery safety, and extend battery life. At the same time, the connection between the protrusion 302 of two adjacent battery cells 20 prevents short circuits between the cells, improving the safety performance of the battery pack. The connection between the bracket body 301 and the battery 20 also fixes the battery 20, thereby improving the stability of the battery pack.

[0047] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 2, 5, and 9, the battery pack further includes at least one seal 50. The seal 50 surrounds the bracket body 301 and is located in the gap 201. The seal 50 seals two adjacent batteries 20. It will be appreciated that the seal 50 cooperates with the bracket 30 to seal the flow channel 40 between the batteries 20, ensuring the sealing of the immersed cooling liquid in the flow channel 40 and preventing splashing of the immersion liquid within the battery pack.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to FIG3 , the battery 20 includes a shell 202 and a top cover 203 ; the shell 202 includes a side wall 2021 and a bottom wall 2022 connected to the side wall 2021 , the side wall 2021 and the bottom wall 2022 enclose a cavity, and the top cover 203 is connected to the side wall 2021 and covers the cavity. It can be understood that the battery 20 in FIG3 is a square structure, and the cavity is used to place the electrode assembly, electrolyte, etc. The shell 202 and the top cover 203 are enclosed to ensure that the position of the electrode assembly in the cavity is fixed, and the electrolyte can be prevented from leaking, thereby improving the performance of the battery 20. Of course, the battery 20 is not limited to the square structure in FIG3 , and can also be a cylindrical or other shaped battery. In order to further prevent the influence of the cooling liquid on the battery shell, the shell 202 and the top cover 203 are made of a material with high corrosion resistance and wear resistance to improve the service life of the battery.

[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 6 and 7 , the bracket body 301 has a groove 3011, which has an opening 3012 and a groove wall 3013 opposite the opening 3012. The opening 3012 is formed through a portion of the side wall 2021, and the groove wall 3013 is connected to at least one of the top cover 203 and the bottom wall 2022. The groove wall 3013 has a through hole 3014 extending therethrough, and the opening 3012 and the through hole 3014 are in communication. The structure of the bracket 30 matches that of the battery 20 to meet the requirements of their connection.

[0050] In some embodiments, referring to FIG11 , each battery 20 is connected to a bracket body 301, and the bracket body 301 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the box body 10; the groove wall 3013 is connected to the top cover sheet 203, and part of the top cover sheet 203 is exposed from the through hole 3014; the protrusion 302, the side wall 2021 of the battery 20 and the bottom wall of the box body 10 together enclose the flow channel 40. It can be understood that the bracket 30 is arranged on one side of the top cover sheet 203, and at this time the bottom wall 2022 of the battery can be directly fixed on the bottom plate of the box body (not shown in the figure). The bracket 30 is arranged on one side of the top cover sheet 203 to play a certain fixing role for the battery 20. In addition, the through hole 3014 is used to expose the functional areas on the top cover sheet 203, such as the pole, explosion-proof valve, etc., to facilitate the connection and use of the battery 20. The protrusion 302 of the bracket, the side wall 2021 of the battery, and the bottom plate of the box body form a flow channel 40, which achieves rapid immersion cooling of the battery 20 and reduces the risk of thermal runaway.

[0051] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 4 and 5 , each battery 20 is connected to two bracket bodies 301; one of the two bracket bodies 301 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the housing 10, and the groove wall 3013 is connected to the top cover sheet 203, with a portion of the top cover sheet 203 exposed through the through hole 3014; the other of the two bracket bodies 301 is connected to the bottom wall of the housing 10, and the groove wall 3013 is connected to the bottom wall 2022, with a portion of the bottom wall 2022 exposed through the through hole 3014; the protrusions 302 of the two bracket bodies 301 and the side walls 2021 of the battery 20 together enclose a flow channel 40. Unlike Figure 11 , the brackets 30 are respectively arranged on one side of the top cover sheet 203 and one side of the bottom wall 2022 of the battery, so that the two brackets 30 corresponding to each battery 20 are arranged opposite each other, and the two opposing brackets 30 can fix the spacing between the batteries 20, thereby achieving the fixation of the batteries 20. Furthermore, through-holes 3014 are also used to expose functional areas on top cover 203, such as the terminals and explosion-proof valve, to facilitate connection and use of battery 20. The protrusions 302 of the bracket and the sidewalls 2021 of the battery together form a flow channel 40, enabling rapid immersion cooling of the battery 20 and reducing the risk of thermal runaway.

[0052] In some embodiments, further referring to Figures 5, 6, and 7, a structure of a bracket 30 is provided. The bracket body 301 in the bracket 30 includes a first end 3015 proximate to the groove wall 3013 and a second end 3016 proximate to the opening 3012. The bracket body 301 includes one protrusion 302 and one seal 50. The protrusion 302 surrounds the first end 3015, and the seal 50 surrounds the second end 3016. The seal 50 is positioned within the flow channel 40 and connected to the protrusion 302. It will be appreciated that the first end 3015 of the bracket body 301 surrounds the protrusion 302, thereby isolating the gap 201 between the batteries 20 into the flow channel 40. Furthermore, the placement of the seal 50 within the flow channel 40 and connected to the protrusion 302 improves the sealing of the flow channel 40 and the stability of the battery pack, preventing loosening between the batteries. To ensure a good seal without affecting the volume of the flow channel 40, the side of the seal 50 after it surrounds the second end 3016 is flush with the side of the protrusion 302 after it surrounds the first end 3015.

[0053] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 10 and 11 , another structure of a bracket 30 is provided. The bracket body 301 of the bracket 30 includes a first end 3015 proximate to the groove wall 3013 and a second end 3016 proximate to the opening 3012. There is one protrusion 302 and two sealing members 50. One of the two sealing members 50 surrounds the first end 3015 and is located outside the flow channel 40, while the other surrounds the second end 3016 and is located inside the flow channel 40. The protrusion 302 is located between the two sealing members 50 and is connected to each of the two sealing members 50. In this configuration, the bracket 30 exhibits a convex center with concave edges. The sealing members 50 can be placed along both sides of the protrusion 302, providing multiple seals on the flow channel 40 and improving the sealing effect. Of course, to ensure the sealing effect while not affecting the volume of the flow channel 40, the side surfaces of the sealing members 50 are flush with the side surfaces of the protrusion 302.

[0054] In some embodiments, further referring to FIG10 , the direction from the second end 3016 toward the first end 3015 is the thickness direction of the bracket body 301, and the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG10 is the thickness direction X; the protrusion 302 surrounds the central axis of the bracket body 301 in the thickness direction, and the central axis is shown by the dotted line in FIG10 . In this case, the protrusion 302 is located in the middle of the bracket body 301, and the two sealing members 50 are symmetrically arranged along the protrusion 302. It can be understood that the protrusion 302 surrounds the central axis of the bracket body 301 in the thickness direction, which can make the bracket body 301 more stable and less prone to deformation. The two sets of sealing members 50 are symmetrically arranged along the protrusion 302, which can achieve a double sealing effect to ensure that the electrolyte does not leak. The sealing members 50 on both sides use the same size specifications to facilitate assembly and preparation.

[0055] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 12 and 13 , another structure of a bracket 30 is provided. The bracket body 301 in the bracket 30 includes a first end 3015 adjacent to the groove wall 3013 and a second end 3016 adjacent to the opening 3012. Two protrusions 302 are provided, and one seal 50 is provided. One of the two protrusions 302 surrounds the first end 3015, and the other surrounds the second end 3016. The seal 50 is located between the two protrusions 302 and is connected to each of the two protrusions 302. In this case, the bracket 30 as a whole exhibits a concave center with convex sides. The seal 50 is located in the area between the two sets of protrusions 302. The seal 50 is embedded in the center of the bracket 30 to seal the flow channel 40. To ensure a good sealing effect, the side surfaces of the seal 50 are flush with the side surfaces of the protrusions 302.

[0056] In some embodiments, further referring to FIG12 , the direction from the second end 3016 toward the first end 3015 is the thickness direction of the bracket body 301, and the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG12 is the thickness direction X. The sealing member 50 surrounds the central axis of the bracket body 301 in the thickness direction, the central axis being indicated by the dotted line in FIG12 , and the two protrusions 302 are symmetrically arranged along the sealing member 50. It will be appreciated that the provision of two sets of protrusions 302 and their symmetrical arrangement can ensure the stability of the overall structure of the bracket 30 and enhance the securing effect on the battery 20. The sealing member 50 is located along the central axis of the bracket body 301 in the thickness direction, thereby enhancing the sealing effect between the flow channel 40 and other spaces within the housing 10.

[0057] In some embodiments, further referring to Figures 8 and 13 , a guide portion 3021 is provided on the surface of the protrusion 302 near the first end 3015. The guide portion 3021 surrounds the first end 3015. The guide portions 3021 between two adjacent batteries 20 are disposed opposite each other to form a guide groove 3022. It will be appreciated that the guide groove 3022 is disposed on the edge of the bracket 30 and can serve as a groove for glue flow. Sealant is disposed within the guide groove 3022 and can flow through the guide groove 3022. The guide groove 3022 can cooperate with the sealant to further seal the flow channel 40, thereby improving the sealing of the immersion liquid and preventing leakage of the immersion liquid within the battery pack.

[0058] In some embodiments, multiple brackets 30 are integrally formed and can be formed according to the arrangement of the batteries 20. The integral forming can improve the body stability of the connection of the brackets 30, reduce the assembly process of the brackets, and ensure that the distance and position between the brackets 30 are consistent, thereby improving the consistency and stability of the battery pack.

[0059] In some embodiments, the multiple brackets 30 are detachably connected. A detachable connection refers to a design in which two or more objects are connected by a specific connection method and can be easily removed and reconnected when needed. Examples of detachable connection methods include threaded connections, latch connections, and snap-fit ​​connections. Detachable connections facilitate maintenance and replacement of connected objects, reducing the difficulty and cost of processing and manufacturing.
