[0026] The jumper plate 3 is provided with a secondary flow channel; the secondary flow channel is a groove, and the groove opening can face the substrate 2;
[0027] The substrate 2 is arranged between the main cold plate 1 and the jumper plate 3, and the jumper hole communicates the primary flow channel and the secondary flow channel.
[0028] The width of the primary flow channel and the secondary flow channel can be equal. The jumper hole can be a circular hole with a diameter not greater than the width of the primary flow channel and the secondary flow channel, which can avoid causing cooling liquid leakage.
[0029] The area of the jumper plate 3 is smaller than the substrate 2, and the jumper plate 3 is arranged on a part of the substrate 2 as needed. Multiple jumper plates 3 can be arranged on the substrate 2 to jumper at multiple positions.
[0030] The battery cooling structure in the embodiment is provided with a jumper plate on a part of the straight cold plate, and the primary flow channel and the corresponding flow channel on the jumper plate are communicated through the jumper hole on the substrate, thereby realizing the flow channel jumper function with small space and low cost.

As shown in FIG. 1, when the position of the jumper plate 3 interferes with the positions of the first liquid port 21 and the second liquid port 22, a notch can be provided on the jumper plate 3 to avoid the first liquid port 21 and the second liquid port 22.

[0042] There is an obstacle between the first flow channel 11 and the fifth flow channel 13, so they cannot continue to extend and are not directly communicated, at this time, the jumper is needed, and the jumper can jump over the obstacle to realize the communication of the first flow channel 11 and the fifth flow channel 13. The jumper of the first flow channel 11 and the fifth flow channel 13 can be realized through the third flow channel 31.
[0043] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the jumper hole at least includes:
[0044] A first jumper hole 23, the first jumper hole 23 communicates a second end of the first flow channel 11 and a first end of the third flow channel 31, to realize the communication of the first flow channel 11 and the third flow channel 31;
[0045] A third jumper hole 25, the third jumper hole 25 communicates a second end of the fifth flow channel 13 and a second end of the third flow channel 31, to realize the communication of the fifth flow channel 13 and the third flow channel 31.

[0049] The first end of the third flow channel 31 is connected with the second end of the seventh flow channel 15 through a jumper hole, and the second end of the third flow channel 31 is connected with the second end of the eighth flow channel 16 through a jumper hole.
[0050] The seventh flow channel 15 is in series with part of the first flow channel 11 and in parallel with the rest of the first flow channel 11. The eighth flow channel 16 is in series with part of the fifth flow channel 13 and in parallel with the rest of the fifth flow channel 13.

[0060] The second flow channel 12 and the sixth flow channel 14 cross each other and cannot be continuously extended. If they are directly connected, they will cross the second flow channel 12 itself and cause confusion in the circulation of the cooling liquid. Therefore, they are not directly connected, and at this time, they need to be jumpered. The jumpering can jump over the crossing position to realize the connection of the second flow channel 12 and the sixth flow channel 14. The jumpering of the second flow channel 12 and the sixth flow channel 14 can be realized through the fourth flow channel 32.

The two adjusting plates can be opened and closed at the same time, so that when the connection hole is at different opening degrees, the refrigerant can always flow from the center of the jumper hole, improving the uniformity of the refrigerant distribution.
[0073] The number of cover plates can be determined according to the number of jumper holes that need to be controlled. In FIG. 5, two cover plates are included, which are a first cover plate 4 and a second cover plate 5. The first cover plate 4 controls the third jumper hole 25 and the fourth jumper hole 26, and the second cover plate 5 controls the first jumper hole 23 and the second jumper hole 24.
[0074] The first cover plate 4 and the second cover plate 5 have the same structure. Taking the first cover plate 4 as an example, the first cover plate 4 is provided with a first connection hole 41 and a second connection hole 42.

[0087] a first expansion valve 20, an inlet of the first expansion valve 20 being connected to an outlet of the condenser 7;
[0088] a first three-way valve 30, the first three-way valve 30 comprising a first valve 301, a second valve 302 and a third valve 303;
[0089] the first valve 301 being connected to an outlet of the first expansion valve 20, the second valve 302 being connected to the first liquid port 21 of the battery cooling structure, and the third valve 303 being connected to the second liquid port 22 of the battery cooling structure.
[0090] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the cooling system further comprises:
[0091] a second three-way valve 10, the second three-way valve 10 comprising a first valve 101, a second valve 102 and a third valve 103;
[0092] the first valve 101 being connected to an inlet of the compressor 6, the second valve 102 being connected to the first liquid port 21 of the battery cooling structure, and the third valve 103 being connected to the second liquid port 22 of the battery cooling structure.

[0095] an evaporator 9, an inlet of the evaporator 9 being connected to an outlet of the second expansion valve 8, and an outlet of the evaporator 9 being connected to an inlet of the compressor 6.
[0096] The evaporator 9 is arranged in the passenger compartment, and the cooling liquid flows through the evaporator 9 to evaporate and absorb heat, thereby cooling the passenger compartment.
[0097] The three-way valve in the above embodiment is an electromagnetic three-way valve, each valve of the three-way valve only has a switching function and cannot adjust the opening degree of the valve. The cooling medium in the battery pack direct cooling plate is air conditioning refrigerant, the battery pack cooling pipeline is connected in parallel with the passenger compartment evaporator 9 and shares a set of compressor 6 and condenser 7, in the working condition that the passenger compartment air conditioner is turned on (the compressor 6 is turned on, and the second expansion valve 8 is turned on) and the battery pack cooling is not turned on, the first expansion valve 20 is closed, and all valves of the first three-way valve 30 and the second three-way valve 10 are opened, at this time, no refrigerant flows in the cooling plate flow channel. When the temperature of the battery cell rises to a preset value, the first expansion valve 20 is opened, the first valve 301 of the first three-way valve 30 is opened, the second valve 302 is opened, the third valve 303 is closed, the first valve 101 of the second three-way valve 10 is opened, the second valve 102 is closed, and the third valve 103 is opened, then the refrigerant flows into the direct cooling plate for battery cell cooling through the first liquid port 21.

When the three-way valve is used to switch the inlet of the direct cooling plate to the second liquid port 22, the flow direction of the refrigerant is just opposite to that when the inlet is the first liquid port 21, and the cooling liquid will flow through the jumper hole and the jumper plate 3 first, and the jumper hole will throttle the refrigerant in the two-phase state, so that the gas-liquid two-phase flow is more uniformly distributed, and the temperature difference on the direct cooling plate is further reduced.
[0099] The fourth aspect of the present application provides a vehicle comprising the cooling system of any one of the above technical solutions.
[0100] The vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle or a hybrid electric vehicle, and the vehicle is provided with a battery pack as an energy storage component.

[0102] The main cold plate and the corresponding flow channel groove on the local jumper plate are communicated through the jumper through hole on the substrate, realizing the flow channel jumper function with small space and low cost, reducing the complexity of flow channel arrangement, and improving the uniformity of cold plate flow. Further, based on the superheat degree of the refrigerant at the outlet of the cold plate and the maximum temperature difference of the battery, a scheme is proposed to realize dynamic switching of the inlet and outlet of the cold plate by using a three-way valve, so as to always provide sufficient cold energy for the high-temperature region of the battery cell, and achieve the effect of improving the temperature consistency of the battery.
[0103] When the refrigerant is set to flow out of the cold plate through the local jumper plate, a double-core adjustable orifice structure is used to control the opening of the jumper through hole, so as to adjust the pressure and evaporation temperature of the refrigerant on the cold plate, avoid causing local low temperature of the battery cell, and realize reasonable distribution of cold energy. When the refrigerant is set to flow into the cold plate through the local jumper plate, the jumper through hole will throttle the refrigerant in two-phase state, so as to make the gas-liquid two-phase flow more uniform, thereby reducing the temperature difference of the cold plate.
