Description

A liquid-cooled integrated battery housing and power battery pack Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power batteries and their cooling technology, and in particular to a liquid-cooled integrated battery housing. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of battery technology in the new energy battery field, the application of liquid cooling systems in battery packs is becoming increasingly widespread. Traditional battery pack liquid cooling systems have several integration methods: one is to separate the liquid cooling system from the battery housing, requiring the liquid cooling plate to be connected to the housing frame or placed inside the battery pack; another method is to integrate the liquid cooling system directly with the battery pack housing, retaining only a few connecting pipes inside the battery pack to reduce the number of components. Of these two methods, the former has more connection structures, is more complex to manufacture, and has higher costs, while the latter occupies internal space in the battery pack housing, reducing the utilization rate of the internal space.

[0003] Furthermore, the liquid cooling channels in existing liquid cooling plates typically employ a meandering structure, flowing out after a series of bends and detours. Due to this meandering structure, the coolant must travel a considerable distance and time within the liquid cooling plate, meaning that even absorbed heat cannot be dissipated quickly enough. For example, if both the coolant inlet and outlet are at the front of the liquid cooling plate, the coolant flows from the front to the back and then back again, resulting in a minimum flow path of at least twice the length of the liquid cooling plate. This also compromises the cooling efficiency. Even in existing designs with a front-to-back flow configuration, the fluid channels occupy space at both ends, making them less practical than designs with inlets and outlets on the same side.

[0004] In addition, traditional liquid cooling channels require reserved welding areas, and the channel area accounts for approximately 60% of the overall area of ​​the battery box base plate. The relatively small channel area affects the cooling and heat dissipation effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a liquid-cooled integrated battery housing and a power battery pack.

[0006] A liquid-cooled integrated battery box, which consists of a liquid-cooled base plate, a front frame, a rear frame, a left side beam, and a right side beam forming a cell housing space;

[0007] The liquid-cooled base plate has a liquid-cooled channel that runs from left to right inside, and the upper surface of the liquid-cooled base plate is used to place the battery cells.

[0008] The liquid-cooled base plate connects the left and right side beams, and both the left and right side beams have a through-flow channel.

[0009] The flow channel of the left side beam is connected to the left port of the liquid cooling channel, and the flow channel of the right side beam is connected to the right port of the liquid cooling channel to form a liquid cooling system for the integrated liquid-cooled battery box.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the left side beam is provided with a series of small guide holes arranged in the front-to-back direction to connect the guide channel of the left side beam with the left port of the liquid cooling channel.

[0011] The inner wall of the right side beam is provided with a series of small guide holes arranged in the front-to-back direction to connect the guide channel of the right side beam with the right port of the liquid cooling channel.

[0012] Furthermore, front slots are provided in the areas corresponding to the front ports of the air guide channels of the front frame, the left side beam, and the right side beam.

[0013] An interface component passes through each front slot. The first end of the interface component is connected to the front port of the corresponding flow channel, and the second end of the interface component is used to connect to an external water pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, rear slots are provided in the areas corresponding to the rear ports of the flow channels of the rear frame, the left side beam, and the right side beam.

[0015] The rear ports of the flow channels of the left and right side beams are each blocked by the first end of a plug, and the second end of the plug is accommodated in the corresponding rear slot.

[0016] Furthermore, an energy-absorbing structure is provided inside the liquid-cooled base plate, and the energy-absorbing structure is located below the liquid-cooled flow channel.

[0017] Furthermore, a first weight-reduction structure is provided inside the liquid-cooled base plate, which is located below the energy-absorbing structure.

[0018] Furthermore, the liquid cooling channel is a first cavity structure arranged in a front-to-back direction and extending through the left and right sides;

[0019] The energy-absorbing structure is a second cavity structure with a row of front-to-back arranged and open to the left and right.

[0020] The first weight reduction structure is a third cavity structure arranged in a front-to-back direction and extending left and right;

[0021] The first cavity structure, the second cavity structure, and the third cavity structure are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence in the vertical direction, and their shapes complement each other.

[0022] Furthermore, a second weight-reduction structure is provided inside both the front and rear frames.

[0023] Furthermore, both the left and right side beams are equipped with a third weight-reduction structure.

[0024] A power battery pack includes the aforementioned liquid-cooled integrated battery housing, with battery cells placed on the upper surface of the liquid-cooled base plate inside the battery housing.

[0025] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows: By hollowing out the liquid-cooled base plate of the battery pack and setting liquid-cooled flow channels inside, and setting guide channels on the left and right side beams of the battery pack, one guide channel introduces the fluid into the liquid-cooled flow channel and the other guide channel leads the fluid out. This simplifies the liquid-cooling connection design, reduces design costs, and does not occupy internal space of the battery pack, thus improving the volume utilization rate of the battery pack. Furthermore, the cooling flow channels of this invention are horizontally continuous, so the incoming cooling fluid does not need to flow circuitously through the liquid-cooled base plate to remove heat; it directly enters and exits from both sides. The heat-conducting fluid flows out quickly, and the cold fluid enters quickly, greatly improving the cooling effect. Therefore, the cooling performance of this invention is also improved.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0045] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1, 6 and 7, the present invention provides a liquid-cooled integrated battery box, wherein the integrated battery box is formed by a liquid-cooled base plate (3), a front frame (4), a rear frame (5), a left side beam (1) and a right side beam (2) to form a cell housing space.

[0047] The liquid-cooled base plate (3) has a liquid-cooled flow channel (301) that runs through the left and right sides.

[0048] The liquid-cooled base plate (3) is connected to the left side crossbeam (1) and the right side crossbeam (2). Both the left side crossbeam (1) and the right side crossbeam (2) have a through-flow channel.

[0049] The flow channel of the left side beam (1) is connected to the left port of the liquid cooling channel (301), and the flow channel of the right side beam (2) is connected to the right port of the liquid cooling channel (301) to form a liquid cooling system for the integrated liquid cooling battery box.

[0050] By hollowing out the liquid-cooled base plate of the battery pack and setting up liquid-cooled flow channels, and setting guide channels on the left and right side beams of the battery pack, one guide channel introduces the fluid into the liquid-cooled flow channel and the other guide channel leads the fluid out. This simplifies the liquid-cooling connection design, reduces design costs, and does not occupy internal battery pack space, thus improving the battery pack volume utilization rate. Furthermore, the cooling flow channels of this invention are horizontally continuous, so the incoming cooling fluid does not need to flow circuitously through the liquid-cooled base plate to remove heat; it directly enters and exits from both sides. The heat-conducting fluid flows out quickly, and the cold fluid enters quickly, greatly improving the cooling effect. Therefore, the cooling performance of this invention is also improved.

[0051] Furthermore, the flow channel of the present invention is through-flowing from the left and right sides, and the liquid cooling base plate is connected to the frame and the side beams on the side, so that the area of ​​the liquid cooling flow channel accounts for more than 90% of the total area of ​​the liquid cooling base plate, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the battery cells placed on the upper surface of the liquid cooling base plate.

[0052] Referring to Figures 2-5, further, the inner wall of the left side beam (1) is provided with a series of small guide holes arranged in the front and back direction to connect the guide channel of the left side beam (1) and the left port of the liquid cooling channel (301).

[0053] The inner wall of the right side beam (2) is provided with a series of small guide holes arranged in the front and back direction to connect the guide channel of the right side beam (2) and the right port of the liquid cooling channel (301).

[0054] The left side beam (1) has a front-to-back through guide channel, namely the first guide channel (101), and the inner side wall (103) has a series of guide holes, namely the first guide hole (102).

[0055] The right side beam (2) has a through-flow channel (201) inside, and the inner wall (203) has a series of small flow holes (202).

[0056] The flow channels and liquid cooling channels are connected by flow guide holes.

[0059] Referring to Figures 13, 14 and 15, the liquid-cooled base plate (3) is further connected to the front frame (4) and the rear frame (5). The left side beam (1), the front frame (4), the right side beam (2) and the rear frame (5) are connected at the end, forming a cell housing space for the battery box with the liquid-cooled base plate (3). The upper surface of the liquid-cooled base plate (3) is used to place the cell (10).

[0060] The inner wall of the front frame (4) faces the inside of the battery box, and the outer wall of the front frame (4) faces the outside of the battery box.

[0061] The inner wall of the rear frame (5) faces the inside of the battery box, and the outer wall of the rear frame (5) faces the outside of the battery box.

[0062] Furthermore, the upper surface of the liquid-cooled base plate (3) is used to place the battery cell (10). Thermally conductive adhesive (11) can be applied to the upper surface of the liquid-cooled base plate (3) before placing the battery cell (10).

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first guide channel (101) is a liquid inlet channel and the second guide channel (201) is a liquid outlet channel. After the low-temperature coolant enters the first guide channel (101), it is introduced into the left port (here, the liquid inlet) of the liquid cooling channel (301) through the first guide hole (102). After the coolant absorbs the heat generated by the battery cell through the liquid cooling channel (301), it flows out from the right port (here, the liquid outlet) of the liquid cooling channel (301) and is introduced into the second guide channel (201) through the second guide hole (202). Then, the coolant that has absorbed the heat flows out from the second guide channel (201).

[0064] Furthermore, the first guide hole (102) is located in the projection area of ​​the left port of the liquid cooling channel (301) on the liquid cooling base plate (3) of the battery box on the left side beam (1) in the height direction.

[0065] Furthermore, the second guide hole (202) is located in the projection area of ​​the right port of the liquid cooling channel (301) on the right side beam (2) of the liquid cooling base plate (3) of the battery box in the height direction.

[0077] Preferably, the second slot (402) can be a square slot.

[0078] Referring to Figures 9 and 12, furthermore, the rear frame (5) and the area corresponding to the rear port of the flow channel of the left side beam (1) and the right side beam (2) are all provided with rear slots;

[0079] The rear ports of the flow channels of the left side beam (1) and the right side beam (2) are each blocked by the first end of a plug (6), and the second end of the plug (6) is accommodated in the corresponding rear slot.

[0086] Preferably, the third slot (501) can be a square slot.

[0087] Furthermore, the size of the fourth slot (502) is larger than the maximum circumferential diameter formed by the fastening part (601) of the plug (6) in order to accommodate the fastening part (601) of the plug (6).

[0088] Preferably, the fourth slot (502) can be a square slot.

[0089] Furthermore, the thickness of the fastening part (601) of the plug (6) is less than or equal to 6 mm, and the effective length of the thread of the threaded part (602) of the plug (6) is within a range of 5 pitches.

[0108] The front end of the right side beam (2) is welded to the right end of the front frame (4), and the rear end (also the tail end) of the right side beam (2) is welded to the right end of the rear frame (5).

[0109] Compared to existing technologies where the liquid cooling plate and battery base plate are designed separately and require screwing to fix the liquid cooling plate to the base plate, this invention integrates the liquid cooling plate and battery base plate into one piece. The connection with the frame only requires one welding step, which greatly improves manufacturing efficiency.

[0110] The present invention also provides a power battery pack, including the aforementioned liquid-cooled integrated battery box, wherein the battery cell (10) is placed on the upper surface of the liquid-cooled base plate (3) inside the battery box.

Those skilled in the art should recognize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
