Description of the embodiments
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. The invention may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention, which is therefore not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "mounted" to another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the element or intervening elements may also be present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and the like are used herein for illustrative purposes only and are not meant to be the only embodiment.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
In the existing automobile lithium battery heat dissipation structure, three modes of air cooling heat dissipation, liquid cooling heat dissipation and phase change heat dissipation are generally available, the air cooling heat dissipation cost is the lowest, but the heat dissipation efficiency is low, and under the condition that the battery electric quantity and the heat are greatly improved, the air cooling heat dissipation cannot adapt to the heat dissipation effect of the battery. People have less research on phase-change heat dissipation, mainly because the price of the phase-change material is higher, when the phase-change heat dissipation device is used in a large area, the heat dissipation effect of the phase-change heat dissipation mode is not remarkably improved compared with the liquid cooling heat dissipation effect due to the limitation of the middle heat conduction medium material, and meanwhile, the phase-change heat dissipation is temporarily not suitable for large-area heat dissipation.
The liquid cooling heat dissipation has the disadvantage that the whole structure is complex, and in order to ensure good heat dissipation effect, a heat dissipation pipeline is generally required to be surrounded outside each battery, so that the weight of the heat dissipation pipeline plus the weight of cooling liquid in the heat dissipation pipeline is large, and the whole weight of the heat dissipation device is large, thereby bringing additional burden to the new energy automobile.
In addition, because the heat conductivity of the cooling liquid is generally increased, the heat dissipation area needs to be increased to achieve a good heat dissipation effect, so that the temperature difference between the cooling liquid in the heat dissipation pipeline around the battery and the cooling liquid at the rest position is large, when the whole battery dissipates heat, the temperature difference at different positions is large, the temperature consistency of the battery is poor, the rapid attenuation of the battery is easy to cause, the safety risk is easy to be brought, the chain reaction is generated to cause thermal runaway, and the battery is burnt.
Therefore, the whole thought of the invention is that based on liquid cooling heat dissipation, the air cooling heat dissipation and phase change heat dissipation structure is integrated into the liquid cooling heat dissipation structure, the phase change heat dissipation structure is directly contacted with the battery, heat is led out to the liquid cooling heat dissipation structure, and then the heat is dissipated into the air through the water cooling plate and the air cooling heat dissipation structure, so that a good heat dissipation effect is achieved. Meanwhile, the problem of poor battery temperature consistency during liquid cooling heat dissipation is solved by using the high heat conductivity of phase change heat dissipation, and the weight of the phase change heat dissipation and air cooling heat dissipation structure is lighter than that of liquid cooling heat dissipation, so that the weight can be controlled, the extra burden of an automobile is reduced, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the whole heat dissipation structure is greatly improved by using air cooling heat dissipation.
The liquid cooling radiator structure provided in this embodiment is shown in fig. 1 to 3, and includes a casing 1 with a frame structure, a battery pack 611 formed by combining a plurality of cylindrical battery arrays is disposed in the casing 1, a gap is reserved between the batteries, a water cooling assembly is disposed at the bottom of the casing 1, the liquid cooling radiator structure includes a water cooling plate 21 with a rectangular structure parallel to a horizontal plane and disposed at the bottom of the battery pack 611, a plurality of caulking grooves 22 corresponding to the battery arrangement are disposed on the water cooling plate 21, the battery pack 611 is fixedly connected in the water cooling plate 21 in an embedding manner, and a plurality of cooling strips 23 embedded between adjacent battery columns are disposed in the battery pack 611.
Meanwhile, an air cooling assembly 3 is further arranged in the shell 1, the air cooling assembly 3 comprises a plurality of air cooling channels 31 formed in the shell 1, the air cooling channels 31 are distributed at the bottom and the top of the battery pack 611, and the air flowing direction in the air cooling channels 31 is the same as the cooling liquid flowing direction and is used for taking away heat replaced by the water cooling assembly through air flowing. As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the air cooling module 3 includes a top air duct 312 provided at a top position of the casing 1 and a bottom air duct 311 provided at a bottom position of the water cooling plate 21.
In addition, still cooperate and be equipped with phase transition cooling piece 4 in the water-cooling subassembly, phase transition cooling piece 4 includes that a plurality of blocks locate the phase transition cooling piece 41 between two adjacent cold bars 23, is equipped with the phase transition cooling piece 41 that two symmetries set up outside every battery, and the battery gomphosis cladding is gone up to two phase transition cooling pieces 41 that correspond, and the both sides face of phase transition cooling piece 41 is fixed on cold bar 23 on both sides.
As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the air cooling assembly 3 includes a plurality of bottom air channels 311 parallel to each other and disposed at the bottom of the cold water plate, and a plurality of top air channels 312 disposed on the housing 1 and away from one end of the water cooling plate 21, wherein the top air channels 312 and the bottom air channels 311 all extend along the flowing direction of the cooling liquid, and both are disposed obliquely with respect to the horizontal plane.
The air cooling assembly 3 further comprises a plurality of radiating fins 32 formed on the bottom surface of the water cooling plate 21, an acute angle of 10-27 degrees is formed between the radiating fins 32 and the extending direction of the bottom air duct 311, and an angle of 5-15 degrees is formed between the bottom air duct 311 and the horizontal plane.
Because the battery is sealed in the shell 1 and is not in communication contact with the outside, the air cooling channel 31 arranged on the shell 1 and at the bottom of the water cooling plate 21 can communicate with the outside air flow in the running process of the automobile, and a large amount of heat is taken away at a higher flow rate after the air flow enters the air cooling channel 31, so that the heat dissipation effect is increased. And an included angle of 5-15 degrees is formed between the bottom air channel 311 and the horizontal plane, so that the circulation distance of air can be increased when the air enters, and the flow speed of air flow in the air channel is larger than the flow speed of air flow outside the chassis because the speeds are the same, so that the capacity of taking heat by the air flow is further optimized. In addition, the air cooling passage 31 reduces the weight of the housing 1 and the water cooling plate 21, and reduces the extra burden on the vehicle.
The heat dissipation fins 32 are obliquely arranged at the bottom of the water cooling plate 21 to form an acute angle of 10-27 degrees, and the flow rate of air between the heat dissipation fins 32 can be increased to take away more heat. However, the larger wind resistance can be caused by the overlarge angle, and the running speed of the automobile is influenced. According to measurement and calculation, when the included angle of the radiating fins 32 is 18 degrees, a good radiating effect can be achieved under the condition of ensuring small wind resistance, so that the included angle of the radiating fins 32 is most suitable for 18 degrees. Similarly, when the included angle between the bottom air duct 311 and the horizontal plane is 12 degrees, the wind resistance is smaller, and the heat dissipation effect is better.
As shown in fig. 6 to 8, the water cooling plate 21 and the cooling strip 23 are each provided with a water cooling passage 24 through which a cooling liquid flows, and the water cooling passage 24 includes a main passage 213 and a sub passage 214.

The main flow channels 213 are formed in three in the water cooling plate 21, and the coolant with heat can be divided into three flows, which respectively flow into the three main flow channels 213. The main flow channels 213 are distributed in a serpentine shape, so that the flow area and the heat dissipation area of the cooling liquid can be enlarged to the greatest extent, and the optimal heat conduction effect can be achieved.
After the cooling liquid enters the cold strip 23, the cooling liquid is divided into a plurality of branches and flows into the branch flow channels 214, flows into the micro flow channels 216 and the transition flow channels 215 from the branch flow channels 214, so that the cooling liquid is dispersed in the cold strip 23 to form a tree grid shape, the utilization rate of the area of the cold strip 23 is increased, the heat conduction efficiency of the cooling liquid is increased, the cooling liquid can uniformly conduct heat in the phase-change cooling piece 4, and finally, the cooling liquid is collected into the liquid inlet 211 of the water cooling plate 21, and the heat conduction efficiency is improved.
In addition, setting up micro channel 216 and transition runner 215 can also make the velocity of flow of coolant liquid in cold strip 23 accelerate to divide into a plurality of little liquid and carry out the mode of heat exchange, can further promote the heat conduction efficiency of liquid, and because phase change material's coefficient of heat conductivity is high, consequently can cooperate the coolant liquid to shift heat fast, avoid the heat to pile up the temperature inequality that causes when the battery is operated.
As shown in fig. 8, the directions of the micro flow channels 216 are divided into two types, and are inclined toward the liquid inlet 211 and the liquid outlet 212 of the water cooling plate 21. The reason for this is that the liquid is inclined toward the liquid outlet 212 when entering, so that the liquid can be ensured to be rapidly distributed and circulated in the micro flow channel 216 and the transition flow channel 215, and the liquid is inclined toward the liquid inlet 211 when needing to flow out, so that the liquid can be ensured to rapidly flow out of the transition flow channel 215 and the micro flow channel 216.
As shown in fig. 2, 8 and 9, a mounting groove 25 with a shape matching with that of the phase-change cooling block 41 is formed on the water cooling plate 21 at a position surrounding the caulking groove 22, and the phase-change cooling block 41 is embedded in the mounting groove 25; at least one accommodating cavity 42 is formed in the phase-change cooling block 41, and phase-change microcapsules are filled in the accommodating cavity 42. When the plurality of accommodating chambers 42 are formed in the phase-change cooling block 41, the volume of the accommodating chamber 42 on the side away from the water-cooling plate 21 is larger than the volume of the accommodating chamber 42 on the side close to the water-cooling plate 21.
As shown in fig. 9, a coating structure for semi-coating the top of the battery is further provided on the top of the phase-change cooling block 41, so that the heat generated by the battery is relatively large because the top of the battery needs a connecting circuit, and the heat accumulation at the top of the battery can be effectively reduced after the coating structure is provided, thereby further improving the consistency of the temperature of the battery.
In addition, the filling rate of the phase-change microcapsules in the accommodating cavity 42 is 75-88%. Therefore, in order to ensure that the micro-phase change capsule damages the phase change cooling block 41 after absorbing heat and expanding phase change, the phase change cooling block 41 is prevented from deforming to squeeze the battery, and the use safety of the battery is ensured. It was measured that the optimal filling rate of the phase change microcapsules in the receiving cavity 42 was 83%, at which the phase change cooling block 41 was not subjected to too much pressure, and the heat conduction efficiency was in the optimal interval.
The phase-change cooling block 41 is integrally coated outside the battery, a containing cavity 42 is formed in the phase-change cooling block 41, and the phase-change microcapsule is filled, so that heat can be introduced into the cold bars 23 at two sides by utilizing the high thermal conductivity of the phase-change microcapsule. The volume of the accommodating cavity 42 is different, and the volume of the accommodating cavity 42 at the bottom position is smaller than that of the accommodating cavity 42 at the upper position, because the battery at the bottom position is close to the water cooling plate 21, heat conduction can be fast performed, and the battery at the upper position needs more phase change materials to achieve similar heat conduction effect, so that the consistency of the temperatures of all parts of the battery during use is ensured.
In the present invention, the water cooling plate 21, the cold bar 23 and the heat dissipation fin 32 are all made of one or more of aluminum alloy material, copper-aluminum composite material, graphite material or graphene material, and the main runner 213, the sub runner 214, the micro runner 216 and the transition runner 215 are all aluminum alloy tubes. And the cooling liquid is water or glycol, and the flow is 0.8-1.7 m/s.
Among the above materials, graphite materials or graphene materials have the best heat conductive properties, but are expensive to produce and difficult to process, and have low cost performance unless applied to the field of high-end automobiles. Compared with aluminum alloy, the copper material has higher price, so that the aluminum alloy material can achieve the optimal cost performance, and the aluminum alloy material has high heat transfer rate, so that the use requirement of the invention can be met. In the aspect of the selection of the cooling liquid, water is used as the fluid with high specific heat capacity, and can be used as the first choice of the cooling liquid at extremely low price, so that the cooling liquid can be applied to the area with the temperature of more than 0 ℃ in winter. And the glycol can be used as cooling liquid in cold areas due to the antifreezing property.
According to measurement and calculation, the optimal flow rate of the cooling liquid is 1.3m/s, as shown in fig. 10, when the new energy automobile runs at the speed of 80km/h to output current under the conditions that the flow rate of the cooling liquid and the initial temperature of the cooling liquid are 25 ℃ and the outdoor temperature is 25 ℃, the temperature peak value of the battery is 29 ℃, the average temperature is 23 ℃, and the maximum temperature difference in the battery is 1.1 ℃, so that the heat dissipation effect is remarkable.
