Description

A liquid cooling plate intelligent optimization method and device based on CFD numerical simulation Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a liquid cooling plate intelligent optimization method and device based on CFD numerical simulation, belonging to battery thermal management technology for electric vehicles. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the global economy, fossil fuel reserves are decreasing year by year. At the same time, the use of fossil fuels also causes serious environmental pollution. Consequently, electric vehicles have emerged as a response to this need. In recent years, the rapid development of electric vehicles has led to increasing attention to the safety and lifespan of electric vehicle power batteries. One of the most significant factors affecting power battery safety and lifespan is the operating temperature. Excessive internal temperature in the battery pack can lead to safety issues such as thermal runaway. Excessive temperature differences between different cells within the battery pack can degrade battery performance. Long-term operation at excessively high temperatures and temperature differences can also shorten battery life. Therefore, proper battery thermal management is a crucial component of power battery design. Battery thermal management involves heating the battery when it is cold, cooling it when it is hot, and thermally balancing all cells within the battery pack to maintain a temperature difference of less than 5°C. Currently, the most common battery thermal management methods are liquid cooling, air cooling, and direct cooling. Liquid cooling is more efficient and reliable than these two methods, making it the most widely used method.

[0003] The liquid cooling plate is an important component of the liquid-cooled battery thermal management system. Currently, the design of the liquid cooling plate mostly relies on the experience of engineers. When optimizing the design of the battery liquid cooling plate, it is necessary to optimize the pressure drop of the liquid cooling plate and the flow distribution of each parallel tributary. Due to the large number of parallel tributaries, multiple optimization designs and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation iterations are required when optimizing the flow distribution of each tributary. Each manual optimization design and CFD simulation takes a lot of time, which is inefficient and time-costly, and it is difficult to find the optimal solution through manual trial and error. There are also automatic optimization methods for liquid cooling plates. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the patent number "CN202110064676.7" and the name "A liquid cooling plate multi-objective optimization method, electronic device and storage medium" realizes the automatic optimization of the liquid cooling plate by simply connecting the liquid cooling plate 3D modeling software, simulation software, and optimization software in series. However, this method only optimizes by setting a preset target. After the optimization result reaches the preset target, the optimization iteration is stopped, and the optimal solution is not optimized. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In order to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a method and device for intelligent optimization of liquid cooling plates based on CFD numerical simulation. By simply inputting the key design parameters of the liquid cooling plate in the initial design stage, the entire process of liquid cooling plate design, simulation, and optimization can be fully intelligently implemented to obtain the optimal design solution, greatly reducing the labor and time costs of liquid cooling plate design and simulation.
