Oblique Battery Module Cooling via Stacked Rows

The patent transitions from a two-dimensional side-by-side arrangement to a three-dimensional stacked arrangement of battery rows. Multiple battery rows are stacked vertically in layers, allowing the cooling medium to flow through each row sequentially. This vertical stacking enables effective cooling while maintaining compact horizontal footprint, thus reducing module size without sacrificing cooling efficiency.

The battery module is divided into multiple independent battery rows that are stacked in layers. Each battery row can be cooled independently by the cooling medium flowing through it. This segmentation allows the cooling system to address each row individually, preventing temperature deviation between rows while maintaining a compact overall structure.

Instead of arranging battery rows horizontally side by side (increasing width), the patent stacks them vertically (increasing height). This dimensional change allows the cooling medium to flow through each row in sequence, ensuring all rows receive adequate cooling. The vertical stacking optimizes the use of vertical space while maintaining a compact horizontal footprint.

The cooling medium is introduced at the bottom of the stacked battery rows and flows upward through each row in sequence. This preliminary cooling approach ensures that each battery row is cooled as the medium passes through it, preventing heat accumulation before the medium reaches subsequent rows. The cooling channels are pre-designed to guide the medium through all rows efficiently.

The battery module is segmented into multiple independent rows, each with its own cooling channels. The cooling medium flows through each row separately in sequence, ensuring that heat is removed from each row as it passes through. This segmentation prevents temperature deviation between rows, as each row receives dedicated cooling attention rather than relying on heat conduction from adjacent rows.

The cooling system is designed to cool each battery row in sequence as the cooling medium flows through them. By the time the medium reaches subsequent rows, it has already absorbed heat from previous rows, creating a progressive cooling effect that maintains temperature uniformity across all rows without requiring complex independent cooling systems for each row.
