A kind of battery module and preparation method thereof
[technical field]
The present invention relates to a kind of battery module, particularly relate to one and be assemblied in sealing shell and often with bigger merit
Battery module in the accumulator battery of rate work or continuous firing and preparation method thereof.
[background technology]
At present, along with improving constantly of Public Environmental Awareness, accumulator is increasingly being applied to electric vehicle, storage
The Large Copacity such as energy or the occasion of high power work.In practical occasion, accumulator is many with cell series connection and/or parallel connection
The form becoming set of cells uses, and the quantity of series/parallel is from tens to hundreds of.Sky is effectively used in order to improve
Between, it is desirable to reduce set of cells volume, cell is often arranged closely, this for set of cells heat radiation very
Unfavorable.When charging latter stage and high power work, internal storage battery meeting heat release, the cell in set of cells centre position
Temperature will be apparently higher than the temperature of cell near shell wall, the electrochemical properties that they show and other battery
Difference, the battery homogeneity obtained by all effort before assembling just has not been existed, and in using, this partial monosomy battery is very
Will be operated in soon overcharge, cross put under state, performance fails rapidly, lost efficacy, cause whole Battery pack hydraulic performance decline even
Fault, inefficacy.By the dissection and analysis to the accumulator battery that cycle life ends, also indicate that set of cells middle part is single
The residual capacity of body battery is well below the residual capacity of set of cells edge cell, and the inefficacy of set of cells is main
It is owing to the inefficacy of set of cells middle part partial monosomy battery causes.This life-span resulting in set of cells is significantly less than
The cycle life of cell.Being additionally, since in the set of cells gone out of use still has use value possibly together with significant proportion
Cell, also result in the waste of resource and the increase of use cost.
In order to improve the situation of cell non-uniform temperature present in set of cells use process, and then improve battery
In the service life of group, there has been proposed various solution.As in set of cells plus various chillers, wherein with
Relatively conventional with the water cooling plant using water as cooling medium as the air cooling equipment of cooling medium with air.But these are two years old
The mode of kind also exists the deficiency needing additional cooling medium recycle unit, it is provided that the device of medium circulation power such as blower fan,
Water pump itself needs expend electric energy and take up room, and coolant guiding channel to be reserved in set of cells, this will increase
The volume of set of cells, limits the set of cells riding position in application scenario.Further, as used on automobile, stop
After, if turned off the power supply on car, the device such as blower fan, water pump will quit work, it is impossible to ensures the abundant of set of cells
Cooling.To realize just closing the power supply on blower fan, water pump and car after set of cells is sufficiently cool, then substantially to increase
The complexity of electrical control, improves cost.
