Similarly, a diverter projection 62 is provided at the module inlet 20. So that the cooling medium can flow into each fluid channel more uniformly.
In addition, each shunt bulge can be a circular truncated cone, a cylinder or a polygonal prism.
Further, as shown in fig. 6, an inlet protrusion 40 is provided at an inlet of the overall inlet passage 4, and the inlet protrusion 40 is spaced apart from a sidewall of the overall inlet passage 4. The inlet bulge can be a circular truncated cone, a cylinder or a polygonal prism, the cooling medium entering the main access passage 4 is firstly divided into two parts by the inlet bulge, one part directly enters the cooling module 1, and the other part flows to the cooling module 2 and the cooling module 3.
Optionally, the fluid channels are arranged in parallel. The fluid channel layout in the cold plate is more regular. The pipe diameter of the main inlet passage 4 gradually increases along the flowing direction of the cooling medium therein, that is, the pipe diameter of the main inlet passage 4 gradually increases from the cooling module 1 to the cooling module 2, so that after the cooling medium enters the cooling module 1 and the cooling module 2, the residual cooling medium can rapidly enter the cooling module 3.
It will be appreciated that the number of cooling modules may be 2, 4 or 5 etc., and that the number of cooling sub-modules in each cooling module may also be 2, 4 or 5 etc. The connection key between the cooling module and the cooling submodule is the same regardless of the number, and the details are not further described here.
Another embodiment of the present invention further relates to a battery pack: the battery module comprises the cold plate 7 and the battery module 8 arranged on the cold plate 7, wherein the battery module 8 is provided with a plurality of battery cores.
While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be understood that aspects of the embodiments can be modified, if necessary, to employ aspects, features and concepts of the various patents, applications and publications to provide yet further embodiments.
These and other changes can be made to the embodiments in light of the above detailed description. In general, in the claims, the terms used should not be construed to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the specification and the claims, but should be construed to include all possible embodiments along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
