According to the battery module provided by the embodiment, the temperature adjusting device 7 is arranged on the side surface of the battery core 1, so that the battery module is naturally not impacted by bottom ball impact or other mechanical parts, the risk of liquid leakage is effectively avoided, and meanwhile, the height space occupied by the battery module is saved; in addition, since the pipelines 8 are distributed along the direction from the top of the battery cell 1 to the bottom of the battery cell 1, the temperature of the battery cell 1 in the vertical direction is affected by the temperature adjusting device 7, and the temperature gradually changes. In addition, because the speed of filling liquid into the lower pipeline 8 is fast, and the speed of filling liquid into the upper pipeline 8 is slow, in order to avoid uneven liquid distribution in each pipeline, along the direction from the top of the battery cell 1 to the bottom of the battery cell 1, the pipe diameter of the pipeline 8 is gradually reduced, that is, the liquid capacity borne in the pipeline 8 closer to the bottom of the battery cell 1 is smaller, when the liquid continuously flows into the pipeline 8, the liquid can be ensured to be uniformly distributed in each pipeline 8, so that the temperature of the battery cell 1 can be uniformly adjusted in the height direction. If every line of pipeline 8's pipe diameter is the same, then it is more to appear the liquid in the lower floor's pipeline very easily, and the liquid in the upper pipeline 8 is less, causes the liquid distribution uneven, and the embodiment of the utility model provides a temperature regulation apparatus 7 can avoid the emergence of this kind of phenomenon, can guarantee liquid evenly distributed in each pipeline 8 to carry out temperature regulation to electric core 1 on the direction of height uniformly. Therefore, the utility model provides a battery module can avoid the uneven problem of distribution of battery module temperature top-down who exists among the prior art. As an alternative embodiment, temperature adjusting devices 7 may be disposed on both sides of the battery cell 1, and this arrangement may enable the temperature of both sides of the battery cell 1 to be adjusted more uniformly from top to bottom.

In addition, as an optional embodiment, the cooling liquid or the heating liquid may be added to the pipeline 8, the liquid may be water or other liquid having a cooling and/or heating function, and may be determined according to actual working condition requirements, and is not limited, taking the liquid as water as an example, if the temperature of the battery cell is too high, the cooled water is selected to flow into the pipeline 8, and if the temperature of the battery cell is too low, the heated water is selected to flow into the pipeline 8. The flowing mode of the cooling liquid is the same as that of the heating liquid, and the cooling liquid and the heating liquid can both play a role in enabling the temperature of the battery module to be uniformly distributed from top to bottom.

The benefits of such an arrangement are: when liquid enters the outer groove 18 from the liquid inlet 16, the liquid does not immediately flow into the inner groove 19 but accumulates in the outer groove 18 because the opening is a certain distance away from the bottom of the first accommodating groove 14, when the liquid accumulates in the outer groove 18 to a certain amount, the liquid level rises to the opening and then overflows to the inner groove 19, at the moment, the liquid continuously enters the outer groove 18 from the liquid inlet 16 and flows into the inner groove 19 through the opening, and because the diameter of the opening is small, the moment when the liquid flows into the inner groove 19 from the outer groove 18 is equivalent to pressurization, and because the liquid accumulated in the outer groove 18 and the inner groove 19 is much, the arrangement mode can ensure that sufficient and high-pressure liquid flows into each pipeline 8, and improves the efficiency of the liquid flowing into each pipeline 8.

It should be noted that the shapes of the inner groove 18 and the outer groove 19, and the specific positions of the liquid inlet hole 16, the liquid outlet hole 17, and the opening are not limited, for example, as shown in fig. 4, the liquid inlet hole 16 and the liquid outlet hole 17 are respectively installed on the top of the first holding tank 14 and the second holding tank 15, so as to achieve the above-mentioned "pressurizing" effect for the liquid.
