Heat insulation sheets 12 are arranged between the electric cores 11 and mainly play roles in heat preservation, heat insulation, buffering and shock absorption. The heat insulation sheet 12 is made of soft Polyethylene (PE) foam, and the low thermal conductivity coefficient (about 0.038W/m/K) of the foam is favorable for inhibiting thermal diffusion and reducing the influence of the thermal diffusion on the surrounding electric core 11 when the electric core 11 is out of control due to heating. The soft Polyethylene (PE) foam has good buffering and shock-absorbing performance, and the cross-linked structure enables the foam to have certain rigidity, low hardness and high resilience, so that the swelling stress of the battery can be absorbed, and the buffering effect is achieved.
The side plates 10, the end plates 8, and the bottom plate 9 may be made of 3003(H12) aluminum alloy. As the light material which is most applied at present, the aluminum alloy has mature related technologies: good mechanical properties; light weight (about 1/3 for steel density); the processing is easy; the heat conductivity and the corrosion resistance are good; the strength is high; good energy absorption performance; the surface treatment is easier, the aesthetic degree is higher, and the coloring can be realized by adopting an electrophoresis process. The edge of the end plate 8 is thinned, so that the end surface of the end plate 8 and the side plate 10 after being jointed is flat, and the size is not increased additionally. The side plates 10 are connected to the end plates 8 by rivets 16.
As shown in FIG. 7, for easy manual assembly and disassembly, the bus bar support 7 has fixing grooves 21 at both side edges thereof for being caught by catching grooves 22 at the upper edges of the side plates 10. In addition, the two sides of the upper outer cover 2 are connected with the side plates 10 through the outer buckles 24, so that the upper outer cover 2 is convenient to mount and dismount while the connection is firm.
As shown in fig. 4-5, protruding spacers 18 are disposed on the surfaces of the side insulating plates 15 and the bottom insulating plate to clamp the battery cell 11, so as to better fix the battery cell 11 and limit the battery cell 11 from moving back and forth. The folded structures 19 at the upper and lower edges of the side plate 10 clamp the stacked battery cell 11 and the insulating plate to prevent the battery cell from being vertically staggered; the bending parts 20 at the front end and the rear end clamp the battery cell 11 and the end plate 8; in addition, after the edge of the bus bar and the upper edge of the side plate 10 are clamped with each other, the limitation of the movement freedom of the battery cell 11 is completed.

The bottom surface insulating plate 13, the side surface insulating plate 15 and the end surface insulating plate 14 on the periphery of the battery cell 11 are made of PC-ABS plastic plates for insulation. As modified engineering plastics, PC-ABS combines the mechanical property, impact resistance and temperature resistance of PC and the formability of ABS materials, has better comprehensive performance, and is widely used for structural members such as battery supports, frames and the like.
As shown in fig. 8, the bus bar support 7 is further provided with a wire clip 25 and a ring structure 26, and the distance between two adjacent wire clips 25 is less than 8cm, so that the wiring harness can be effectively prevented from being warped when the wiring harness is moved. The bus bar output is secured to the ring structure 26 by a tie. The sampling wire harness is positioned above the module and can extend by 5-10cm, so that the wire harness is convenient to connect. For fixing the sampling lines to the connection row 4 between the cells 11, a plating process may be performed on the connection row 4, and after welding, a spot sealing adhesive (forming a hermetic condition, blocking electrochemical corrosion) may be used. The total positive connection row 4 and the total negative connection row 4 can also be plated, after welding, with spot sealing (forming a hermetic condition, blocking electrochemical corrosion).
As shown in fig. 8, the connection row 4 between the electric cores 11 is made of soft aluminum bars (tin plating), and has light weight and low tolerance requirement during manufacturing. The cross-sectional area of the connecting row 4 is 34mm x 3mm to ensure an excess flow, low temperature rise. As shown in fig. 10, the total positive connection row 4 and the total negative connection row 4 are provided with a transit bolt 28, and the corners are rounded 27 to prevent point discharge. As shown in fig. 9 and 11, the connecting bar 4 and the end connecting bar 6 are positioned by the surface protrusion structure 29 on the bus bar support 7 at the time of mounting. In addition, as for the end connection bar 6, it is shown that the support structure 30 on the busbar support 7 and the square structure of the head of the fastening bolt 5 provide support for the end connection bar 6 so that it is not easily deformed when subjected to vertical pressure. The positive pole and the negative pole 31 are positioned above the bus bar support 7 and are connected conveniently by using an M8 screw.

As shown in fig. 12, the end plate 8 is made of a carbon fiber composite material, which is different from example 1, and utilizes its excellent mechanical properties. The end plate 8 is a structure having the largest weight ratio of the module excluding the core 11, and generally occupies about 5% of the power battery pack, and therefore, is a member that is prioritized for light weight design. Compared with high-strength steel and aluminum alloy, the carbon fiber composite material has the advantages of low density, high strength, high temperature resistance, friction resistance, shock resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient, and has absolute advantages in impact resistance, sealing property and weight reduction. In the appearance structure, the heat dissipation grooves 32 which are arranged in a rectangular shape are added on the front surface of the end plate 8, so that the weight is reduced, and the heat dissipation is facilitated. The end plate 8 and the side plate 10 are connected together through rivets 16, and meanwhile, metal rings can be embedded in screw holes in the carbon fiber end plate 8 to fix the rivets 16.
Because the material of the end plate 8 is changed from metal 3003(H12) aluminum alloy to plastic material with relatively low heat conductivity coefficient, in order to ensure the whole heat dissipation performance, the materials of the upper outer cover 2, the total positive outer cover 1, the total negative outer cover 3, the bus bar support 7, the bottom surface insulating plate 13, the side surface insulating plate 15 and the end surface insulating plate 14 are changed from PC-ABS to thermoplastic heat-conducting insulating plastic TCP200-30-6A with higher heat conductivity coefficient, the heat conductivity can reach 3W/m/K which is 15 times of PC-ABS, and the density is only increased by 50 percent compared with PC-ABS.
The side plates 10 and the bottom plate 9 are made of aluminum alloy, so that the aluminum alloy is easy to machine and form, high-temperature corrosion resistant and good in heat transfer performance. To further reduce weight, an array of oval-shaped recesses 33 is added to the side plate 10, as shown in fig. 12, the recesses 33 may be 1mm deep. The side plates 10 and the end plates 8 are connected and fixed together through rivets 16.

In order to verify the design concept of the invention, numerical simulation including thermal fluid simulation and structural simulation is performed to verify the performance of the designed module and the battery pack in the aspects of heat dissipation and structure. The thermal fluid simulation comprises the electrochemical thermal simulation of a battery cell 11, the thermal simulation of a lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift and the thermal simulation of a lithium ion power supply box for the electric forklift; the structural simulation includes static analysis, modal analysis, random vibration and fatigue analysis and drop analysis of the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift, and static analysis, modal analysis, random vibration and fatigue analysis, mechanical impact and simulation collision analysis of the lithium ion power supply box structure for the electric forklift.
By performing electrochemical simulation on the battery cell 11, the heat released by the battery cell 11 during charging and discharging can be calculated, the heat is represented as a function changing along with time, and then the function is led into a thermal model of the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift and is used as a heat source item in the model, so that the thermal behavior of the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift is simulated. For the 206Ah square LFP electric core 11 used in this embodiment, fig. 19 shows the charge-discharge curve simulation result of the electric core 11 under different multiplying powers, which is well matched with the experimental data, and the maximum relative error does not exceed 3%, so as to verify the accuracy of the model simulation result. From this calculation of the electrochemical model of the battery cell 11, fig. 20 illustrates the temperature distribution and the heat generation amount of the battery cell 11 when discharged at different rates at an ambient temperature of 25 ℃.
The simulation data of the heat generation amount of the battery Cell 11 is imported into a thermal model of the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift, the thermal simulation of the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift is carried out, and the battery Cell 11 in the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift is numbered from left to right from Cell 1 to Cell 8. Simulation verification proves that when the CFRP end plate 8 is adopted to realize light weight design, the thermal conductivity of CFRP is lower than that of aluminum alloy, but TCP200-30-6A (with the thermal conductivity of 3W/m/K) with high thermal conductivity is used as a plastic part material to replace PC-ABS (with the thermal conductivity of 0.21W/m/K), so that good heat dissipation performance of the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift in the embodiment 2 is ensured.

In addition, when thermal runaway occurs, the heat dissipation effect of example 2 is superior to that of example 1. After the battery module was discharged at 25 ℃ for 10 minutes at 1C, thermal runaway occurred in Cell 1 and Cell 6, and discharge was maintained for 1 hour, assuming that the heat generation rate was increased by a factor of 10, as shown in FIG. 22, cross section T of example 1max115 ℃ longitudinal section TmaxThe temperature is 115 ℃; example 2 cross section TmaxLongitudinal section T at 108 max112 ℃. The maximum temperature on the cross section of the comparative cell 11, example 2, 7 ℃ lower than example 1; comparing the maximum temperature at the longitudinal interface,example 2 was 3 ℃ lower than example 1.

In table 4, 8 cells 11 in the lithium ion battery module for an electric forklift are numbered Cell 1 to Cell 8, where Cell 1 and Cell 6 are set to be thermally runaway. The ambient temperature was 25 ℃. Example 5
By adopting the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift in the embodiment 1, the thermal simulation result of 1C discharge of the lithium ion power box for the electric forklift at different environmental temperatures is as follows:
1) as shown in fig. 23, the maximum temperature inside the module is 38.7 ℃ and the maximum temperature difference Δ T between the battery cells 11 is less than or equal to 5 ℃ in an environment of 25 ℃;
2) under the environment of 40 ℃, the highest temperature in the module is 53.7 ℃, and the maximum temperature difference delta T between the battery cores 11 is less than or equal to 5 ℃;
3) under the environment of 45 ℃, the highest temperature in the module is 56.1 ℃, and the maximum temperature difference delta T between the battery cores 11 is less than or equal to 5 ℃;
4) under the environment of-10 ℃, the highest temperature in the module is 8.2 ℃, and the maximum temperature difference delta T between the battery cores 11 is less than or equal to 7 ℃.
The thermal simulation result of the charging of the lithium ion power box for the electric forklift at 25 ℃ is as follows:
1)1C charging, wherein the highest temperature in the module is 39.2 ℃, and the maximum temperature difference delta T between the battery cores 11 is less than or equal to 5 ℃;
2) charging at 0.5 ℃, wherein the highest temperature in the module is 32.3 ℃, and the maximum temperature difference delta T between the battery cores 11 is less than or equal to ℃.
The thermal simulation results verify that the highest temperature of the battery cell 11 in the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift is basically not more than 55 ℃ under the natural cooling condition, the temperature uniformity of the battery cell 11 is good within the acceptable range of the working temperature of the battery cell 11, and the temperature difference delta T is not more than 5 ℃.

In addition to the above thermal simulation, structural simulation analysis was also performed to verify the structural reliability and safety of the present invention. The structure simulation is divided into two parts of a lithium ion power box for the electric forklift and a lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift.
Statics analysis: statics analysis is mainly used to solve for time-independent or time-effect-negligible load responses. Static load analysis is generally used for evaluating the structural rigidity of the battery system, and the maximum deformation of the battery system cannot exceed 1mm and 3mm under the acceleration of 1g and 3 g. The stress condition of the battery box under the normal vertical bumping condition is the worst. Therefore, in this embodiment, the vertical acceleration of 3g is applied to the entire battery box. As shown in fig. 25, the lithium ion power supply box for an electric forklift has a maximum deformation amount of 0.2mm under a vertical acceleration acting force of 3g, and meets the requirement. As shown in fig. 26, when a vertical acceleration of 3g was applied alone to the lithium ion battery module for an electric forklift, the deformation amounts of examples 1 and 2 were much less than 1mm, and both satisfied the requirements.
And (3) modal analysis: the mode is a natural vibration characteristic of the battery system. The purpose of modal analysis is to obtain the natural frequency of the battery box structure, and if the natural frequency of the structure is close to the frequency of the fixed-frequency vibration test, the structure needs to be improved. The natural frequency of the structure is changed by modifying the structure, so that the main resonance frequency of the structure is prevented from falling within the frequency range of the random vibration high-excitation load. When designing a battery system, the first-order natural frequency and the first-order vibration frequency of the system should be increased as much as possible. The first order frequency requirement of the GM for the battery system is greater than 30 Hz. Table 5 shows the modal analysis results of the lithium ion power supply box for the electric forklift and the lithium ion battery module for the electric forklift, and the first-order natural frequency is higher than 30Hz, so that the requirements are met.

Random vibration and fatigue analysis: the acceleration spectrum parameters specified by the national standard, namely table 6, are used as the load working conditions to simulate that the battery system undergoes random vibration due to uneven road surfaces when the automobile runs. Based on the lithium ion power supply box for an electric forklift in example 1, random vibration analysis was performed on the Pack model in three directions. Fig. 27 shows the distribution of the 1 σ stress when vibrating in three directions. According to table 7, the maximum 3 σ stress in all three directions does not exceed the material yield strength, meeting the vibration fatigue design requirements. Similarly, the maximum 3 sigma stress values of the lithium ion battery modules for the two electric forklifts in the three directions are less than 60MPa and lower than the yield strength of the material, so that the design requirements of vibration fatigue are met.

According to the national standard, the testing time of the random vibration test in each direction is 21h, which is equivalent to the quality assurance requirement that the battery system can be ensured for at least 8 years or more than 20 km. And analyzing the fatigue damage value of the battery box at the moment, combining the analysis result of the vibration CAE of the battery pack, the S-N (stress-life curve) of the battery box material and the service life of the battery pack structure under the stress of 1 sigma, 2 sigma and 3 sigma, calculating the fatigue accumulation damage coefficient of the structure according to Miner' S Rule, wherein the damage coefficient is less than 1, which indicates that the structure meets the requirement under the load excitation. The damage coefficient of the lithium ion power supply box for the electric forklift vibrating randomly along the Z axis is shown in fig. 28, except for a fixed point of a main control BMS fixed foot, the damage value of the box body 34 mechanism is less than 1; in addition, the damage value of the lithium ion power supply box for the electric forklift after vibration along the X axis and the Y axis is less than 1.
And (3) simulating collision analysis: with reference to the standard GB/T31467.3-2015-7.5, an acceleration load as specified in table 8 is applied to a lithium ion power supply box for an electric forklift, where the driving direction of the vehicle is defined as the X-axis and the other horizontal direction perpendicular to the driving direction is defined as the Y-axis. The electric fork-lift truck considered in this embodiment weighs between 3.5 and 7 tons. The simulation result is shown in fig. 29, for two groups of pulse width loads ABCD and EFGH, except that the bottom of one fastening long bolt has stress concentration points (229MPa and 396MPa), the stress of other parts in the lithium ion power supply box for the electric forklift is far lower than the yield strength of the material, and the requirements are met.

Mechanical shock analysis: with reference to the standard GB/T31467.3-2015-7.2, a half-sine impact waveform of 25g and 15ms is applied to a lithium ion power supply box for the electric forklift, and the impact is carried out for 3 times in the Z-axis direction. According to the simulation result, the maximum stress 288MPa appears at one vertex of the fixed foot of the master control BMS, and the stress at other positions in the lithium ion power supply box for the electric forklift is smaller than the yield strength of the material, as shown in FIG. 30, the maximum deformation is 2.76mm, and the requirement is met on the whole.
