This patent uses the mode of aluminium base board heating pipe to constitute the samming board, and need get up its overlap joint with the heat pipe, and manufacturing cost is higher, and processing is inconvenient. And need the battery according to different width tailor the samming board overlap joint subassembly of different width, the commonality is not high.
Patent CN103715473A discloses a power battery thermal management system, which is a battery cooling scheme combining a heat pipe, a semiconductor refrigeration component and a liquid circulation device. The heat pipe is connected with a liquid circulation device, the liquid circulation device transfers heat to the semiconductor refrigeration assembly, and the heat is dissipated by the semiconductor refrigeration assembly. The scheme has the advantages of complex structure, inconvenient maintenance, higher cost, more connection points for connecting a plurality of heat pipes with the liquid circulating device, and easy occurrence of the problems of untight connection and increased thermal resistance.
Patent CN207602734U discloses a power battery thermal management system, and specific scheme is that the battery box is the individual layer barrel, uses the battery to soak in paraffin, uses heat pipe heating semiconductor refrigeration subassembly to assist the refrigeration simultaneously, and cabinet body inside disposes heat preservation and flame retardant coating. According to the scheme, the heat pipe is inserted into the phase-change material, and the semiconductor refrigeration assembly is used for refrigerating the phase-change material, so that the battery is cooled indirectly.

This kind of structure, it is too low when ambient temperature, especially severe cold district, only keeps warm by the heat preservation box, and the box is the same with ambient temperature when the battery does not continuously work, consequently, it has only solved the too high problem of battery temperature, and can't solve to the problem that the temperature is lower or the battery can't normally work when discontinuous work, and this scheme is only directed against power battery's thermal management moreover, and this management mode is totally unable suitable for energy storage battery.
Therefore, certain technical defects still exist in the current thermal management problem of the battery, and particularly, the heat dissipation, fire protection and high energy consumption aspects of the energy storage battery are still to be further researched and improved.
