In this embodiment, the side cold plate 2 is vertically fixed at the middle position of the bottom cold plate 1 along the width direction, so that the two sides of the side cold plate 2 can be used for placing the battery cells 3 at the same time, and the effect of simultaneously cooling the two rows of battery cells 3 by heat dissipation is realized. Of course, in other embodiments, the side cooling plates 2 may be disposed on both sides of the bottom cooling plate 1 in the width direction, and the battery cells 3 are disposed between the two side cooling plates 2, so as to form an effect of cooling and dissipating heat from both side surfaces of the single row of battery cells 3. Even in other embodiments, the plurality of side cooling plates may be sequentially arranged along the length direction of the bottom cooling plate, so as to cool the side surface of the battery core along the length direction of the bottom cooling plate.
In the embodiment, the bottom cold plate 1 is communicated with the side cold plate 2, so that the refrigerant medium forms a circulating flow between the bottom cold plate 1 and the side cold plate 2. Meanwhile, a liquid inlet pipe 4 and a liquid outlet pipe 5 are arranged at the end part of the bottom cold plate 1 and are respectively used for leading the refrigerant medium into the bottom cold plate 1 and leading the bottom cold plate 1 out, so that the refrigerant medium circularly flows in the bottom cold plate 1 and the side cold plate 2, and the heat dissipation and cooling effects on the battery cell 3 are guaranteed.
