A second notch 212 is defined on the second side of the second cooling element 2, specifically, the second connecting plate 21. The first flow channel 150 communicates with the second flow channel 250 through the first notch 111 and the second notch 212.
[0046] The second flow divider 24 is connected between the third plate 22 and the fourth plate 23 to separate the second flow channel 250 into a third main flow channel 27 and a fourth main flow channel 28 . The second flow divider 24 , the second connecting plate 21 , a portion of the third plate 22 , and a portion of the fourth plate 23 form the third main flow channel 27 .
[0047] Multiple third manifolds 25 are arranged side by side and connected between the third plate 22 and the fourth plate 23 to divide the third main channel 27 into multiple third manifolds 271. The multiple third manifolds 271 are interconnected at both ends. Multiple fourth manifolds 26 are arranged side by side and connected between the third plate 22 and the fourth plate 23 to divide the fourth main channel 28 into multiple fourth manifolds 281. The multiple fourth manifolds 281 are interconnected at both ends. A second flow channel opening 241 is defined at the end of the second flow divider 24 away from the second notch 212. The third main channel 27 and the fourth main channel 28 are interconnected at the second flow channel opening 241.
[0048] The first flow partition 14, the second flow partition 24, the first diverter plate 15, the second diverter plate 16, the third diverter plate 25 and the fourth diverter plate 26 separate the coolant in the cooling device 100 into different areas, thereby increasing the heat exchange rate inside and outside the cooling device 100 and improving the heat exchange effect.
[0049] The first plate 12 is provided with a water inlet 121 that communicates with the end of the first main channel 17 away from the first channel opening 141. The third plate 22 is provided with a water outlet 221 that communicates with the end of the fourth main channel 28 away from the second channel opening 241. The coolant in the first cooling element 1 and the second cooling element 2 flows through the water inlet 121, the first main channel 17, the first channel opening 141, the second main channel 18, the first notch 111, the second notch 212, the third main channel 27, the second channel opening 241, the fourth main channel 28, and the water outlet 221.
[0050] 5 , the projection of an imaginary line between the ends of the plurality of first manifold plates 15 and the plurality of second manifold plates 16 near the first flow channel opening 141, in a direction perpendicular to the first plate 12, convexly extends away from the first flow channel opening 141. The projection of an imaginary line between the ends of the plurality of third manifold plates 25 and the plurality of fourth manifold plates 26 near the first flow channel opening 141, in a direction perpendicular to the third plate 22, convexly extends away from the second flow channel opening 241.
[0051] The distance between the ends of the plurality of first manifold plates 15 and the plurality of second manifold plates 16 away from the first flow opening 141 and the end of the first cooling element 1 away from the first flow opening 141 decreases as they approach the first flow partition 14. The distance between the ends of the plurality of third manifold plates 25 and the plurality of fourth manifold plates 26 away from the second flow opening 241 and the end of the second cooling element 2 away from the second flow opening 241 decreases as they approach the second flow partition 24. According to the positions of the water inlet 121 and the water outlet 221, and the connection positions of the first notch 111 and the second notch 212 with the second flow channel 250, by designing the positional relationship between the two ends of multiple first diverter plates 15, the second diverter plates 16, the third diverter plates 25 and the fourth diverter plates 26 and the first cooling member 1 or the second cooling member 2, the flow rates of the first diverter channel 171, the second diverter channel 181, the third diverter channel 271 and the fourth diverter channel 281 are ensured to be as similar as possible, so that the coolant fills the first flow channel 150 and the second flow channel 250, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency.
[0052] 2 , first end 130 of the first cooling member and second end 140 of the first cooling member are each provided with a first opening 19, and first end 230 of the second cooling member and second end 240 of the second cooling member are each provided with a second opening 29. Two blocking members 7 are provided, one at each end of cooling device 100, namely: one blocking member 7 is used to simultaneously block a first opening 19 of first cooling member 1 and a second opening 29 of second cooling member 2, and the other blocking member 7 is used to simultaneously block the other first opening 19 of first cooling member 1 and the other second opening 29 of second cooling member 2, thereby achieving sealing of first flow channel 150 and second flow channel 250.
[0053] The blocking member 7 includes a main body and a blocking portion connected to one side of the main body. The main body is disposed in the first cooling member 1 and the second cooling member 2 . The blocking portion is used to block the first opening 19 and the second opening 29 .
[0054] Referring to Figure 1, a cooling device 100 also includes two fixed crossbeams 8 and two hoisting longitudinal beams 9. The two fixed crossbeams 8 are respectively located at both ends of the cooling device 100, and the two hoisting longitudinal beams 9 are respectively located on both sides of the cooling device 100. The two fixed crossbeams 8 are respectively fixed to the first ends of the first cooling member 1 and the second cooling member 2 and the second ends of the first cooling member 1 and the second cooling member 2. The two hoisting longitudinal beams 9 are respectively fixed to the second side 120 of the first cooling member 1 and the first side 210 of the second cooling member 2. Hoisting holes are provided on the hoisting longitudinal beams 9 to facilitate the installation of the cooling device 100.
[0055] 1 and 11 , two fixed cross beams 8, two hoisting longitudinal beams 9, a first cooling member 1 and a second cooling member 2 form a receiving groove 10 for accommodating a battery module. An insulating layer 6 is provided on the bottom of the receiving groove 10, i.e., the upper surface of the first cooling member 1 and the second cooling member 2. The insulating layer 6 can be made of materials such as insulating paint or insulating blue film, which serves to insulate the cooling device 100 from the battery module.
[0056] The present application also provides a method for manufacturing a cooling device 100, specifically: first, a first cooling member 1 and a second cooling member 2 are formed by aluminum extrusion. The second side of the first cooling member 1 and the first side of the second cooling member 2 are then fixed together by friction stir welding. Subsequently, a first flow channel 150 and a second flow channel 250 are machined using a CNC machine tool to form a first flow divider 14, a second flow divider 24, a first diverter plate 15, a second diverter plate 16, a third diverter plate 25, and a fourth diverter plate 26. Two sealing members 7, two fixed crossbeams 8, and two lifting longitudinal beams 9 are then welded to corresponding positions on the first cooling member 1 and the second cooling member 2 by argon arc welding. Compared to the processing methods used in related arts, this method can save processing steps and improve processing efficiency.
[0057] The present invention also provides a battery module, comprising the cooling device 100 and a battery pack, wherein the cooling device 100 is used to cool the battery pack. The battery pack may be a cylindrical battery or a square battery.
[0058] Example 3
[0059] The difference from Example 2 is that, as shown in FIG10 , the cooling device 100 further includes a third cooling member 3 located between the first cooling member 1 and the second cooling member 2, and the third cooling member 3 is provided with a third flow channel 31. The third cooling member 3 includes a first side 310 of the third cooling member and a second side 320 of the third cooling member relative to each other, and the first side 310 of the third cooling member and the second side 320 of the third cooling member are both provided with a third notch 32 connected to the third flow channel 31, and the two third notches 32 are respectively connected to the first notch 111 and the second notch 212. The third cooling member 3 is assembled with the first cooling member 1 and the second cooling member 2 by friction stir welding. The structure of the third flow channel 31 of the third cooling member 3 is the same as the structure of the first flow channel 150 of the first cooling member 1, so that the difference between the first cooling member 1, the second cooling member 2 and the third cooling member 3 is only the number of notches, which is convenient for mass production and rapid processing, and has a simpler process than the related art.
[0060] Example 4
[0061] The difference from Example 3 is that the cooling device 100 further includes a plurality of third cooling members 3, which are arranged side by side along the direction from the first cooling member 1 to the second cooling member 2. The two third notches 32 of the third cooling member 3 closest to the first cooling member 1 are respectively connected to a third notch 32 and the first notch 111 of the adjacent third cooling member 3, and the two third notches 32 of the third cooling member 3 closest to the second cooling member 2 are respectively connected to a third notch 32 and the second notch 212 of the adjacent third cooling member 3. By providing a plurality of third cooling members 3, the cooling and heat dissipation of a larger battery module can be adapted. At the same time,
[0062] Example 5
[0063] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that:
[0064] 6 , the blocking member 7 facing the first flow channel opening 141 and the second flow channel opening 241 includes a first blocking member 71 and a second blocking member 72. The first blocking member 71 is provided at the first end of the first cooling member 1 and the first end of the second cooling member 2, and the second blocking member 72 is provided at the second end of the first cooling member 1 and the second end of the second cooling member 2.
[0065] Referring to Figure 7 , the first blocking member 71 includes a first body 711, a first blocking portion 712 disposed on one side of the first body 711, and a third flow divider 713. The third flow divider 713 and the first body 711 are located within the first cooling element 1 and the second cooling element 2, and together with the first cooling element 1 and the second cooling element 2, form the fifth main flow channel 101. A communication port 714 is provided at each end of the third flow divider 713. Portions of the first branch flow channel 171 and portions of the fourth branch flow channel 281 communicate with the fifth main flow channel 101 through the two communication ports 714. The first blocking portion 712 is used to simultaneously block a first opening 19 and a second opening 29.
[0066] 8 , the second blocking member 72 includes a second main body 721 and a second blocking portion 722 disposed on one side of the second main body 721. The second main body 721 is positioned within the first cooling member 1 and the second cooling member 2, and the second blocking portion 722 is configured to simultaneously block the other first opening 19 and the other second opening 29. The structure of the two blocking members 7 in Example 2 is identical to that of the second blocking member 72 in this embodiment.
[0067] Referring to Figure 9 , the distance between the ends of the multiple first diverter plates 15 distal to the first opening 19 and the end of the first cooling element 1 distal to the first opening 19 decreases as they approach the first flow divider 14. The distance between the ends of the multiple third diverter plates 25 distal to the second opening 29 and the end of the second cooling element 2 distal to the second opening 29 decreases as they move away from the second notch 212. This ensures that the flow rates of the first, second, third, and fourth diverter channels 171, 181, 271, and 281 are as uniform as possible, ensuring that the coolant fills the first and second flow channels 150, 250, and improving heat exchange efficiency. The vertical distance between the end of the fourth diverter plate 26 facing the connecting opening 714 and the third flow divider 713 is smaller than the vertical distance between the other fourth diverter plates 26 and the third flow divider 713. This reduces crossflow between the fifth main channel 101 and the fourth main channel 28, preventing it from affecting the flow rate of the coolant within the cooling device 100.
[0068] Due to the provision of the fifth main flow channel 101, the distances between the ends of the first diverter plates 15, the second diverter plates 16, the third diverter plates 25, and the fourth diverter plates 26 closest to the fifth main flow channel 101 are all the same. The distances between the ends of the multiple first diverter plates 15 distal to the first flow channel opening 141 and the ends of the first cooling element 1 distal to the first flow channel opening 141 decrease as they approach the first flow divider 14. The distances between the ends of the multiple third diverter plates 25 distal to the second flow channel opening 241 and the ends of the second cooling element 2 distal to the second flow channel opening 241 decrease as they approach the second flow divider 24, thereby ensuring uniform flow across the cooling device 100.
[0069] Based on the coolant flow direction of the cooling device 100 of Example 2, a branch flow is additionally introduced from the first main channel 17 into the fifth main channel 101. The coolant in the fifth main channel 101 flows out from a portion of the fourth main channel 28. The fifth main channel 101 improves the heat exchange efficiency of the cooling device 100.
[0070] Example 6
[0071] The present invention provides a battery pack comprising a housing and a plurality of battery modules disposed within the housing. Each battery module comprises the cooling device 100 and a battery pack, and the cooling device 100 is used to cool the battery pack. The battery pack may be cylindrical or prismatic.
