The side wall 111 is configured as a circumferentially closed ring structure. The axial direction of the side wall 111 is the height direction of the housing 110. A top wall 112 is connected to the top end of the side wall 111. Specifically, the side walls 111 include two first side walls and two second side walls. The plane of the first side wall is perpendicular to the plane of the second side wall. The two first side walls and the two second side walls are connected end to form a circumferentially closed annular structure. In this way, the top case 170 is constructed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped structure. The top housing 170 has an interior cavity and a bottom opening in communication with the interior cavity. The bottom case 120 is connected to the bottom end of the top case 170 to close the bottom opening. The battery is disposed within the housing 110.
The top case 170 has ventilation holes and ventilation holes 115. The ventilation holes and the ventilation holes 115 are arranged at intervals.
The battery pack also includes a closure member 160. The closure member 160 is movably connected to the top housing 170 between an open position and a closed position. For example, the closure member 160 may be a plate. The closure member 160 is capable of closing the vent. The closure member 160 may be pivotally connected to the side wall 111. With the closure member 160 in the closed position, the closure member is capped to close the vent. At this time, the closing member 160 is located at the outside of the center of the later filtering member 130 away from the top case 170. The closing member 160 covers the later filtering member 130.
It will be appreciated that in an embodiment not shown, the closure member may also be located inboard of the filter member near the centre of the top shell.
With the closure member 160 in the open position, the vent is open. At this time, the cavity inside the top case 170 may be ventilated (ventilated) with the outside of the top case 170.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the battery pack further includes a ventilation valve 140. The ventilation valve 140 may be a waterproof ventilation valve. The ventilation valve 140 is inserted through the ventilation hole 115. In this way, the inner cavity of the top case 170 and the outside of the top case 170 may be communicated through the ventilation valve 140 so that air may circulate through the ventilation valve 140, thereby preventing the explosion of the battery pack.
The battery pack also comprises a temperature and humidity sensor for acquiring temperature and humidity information. The temperature and humidity sensors include an internal temperature and humidity sensor (not shown) and an external temperature and humidity sensor 150. The internal temperature and humidity sensor is disposed in the housing 110, and is used for acquiring internal temperature and humidity information indicating the temperature and humidity of air inside the housing 110. The external temperature and humidity sensor 150 is disposed outside the housing 110 for collecting external temperature and humidity information indicating the temperature and humidity of air outside the housing 110.
In this embodiment, the controller may be electrically connected to the driving member that drives the closing member 160 to move between the open position and the closed position, so as to control the operation of the driving member, and may be further connected to the external temperature and humidity sensor 150 and the internal temperature and humidity sensor, so as to acquire external temperature and humidity information and internal temperature and humidity information, and the controller may control the operation of the driving member according to the external temperature and humidity information and the internal temperature and humidity information, so that when the battery pack is connected to the controller and the driving member, the operation of the driving member may be controlled according to the current internal temperature and humidity information and the external temperature and humidity information, and then the driving member may be controlled to move to the open position when needed, so as to reduce the possibility of condensation in the housing 110 to generate condensed water through ventilation holes, thereby avoiding damaging the battery of the battery pack.
Preferably, the battery pack further includes the aforementioned controller (not shown) and a driving member (not shown).
And the controller determines the number of water molecules in the unit volume according to the internal temperature and humidity information. And the controller determines the number of water molecules in the unit volume according to the external temperature and humidity information. The controller controls the driving member to drive the closing member 160 to move to the open position when the number of water molecules in the inner unit volume > the number of water molecules in the outer unit volume. Thereby, the possibility of condensation inside the case 110 can be further reduced.
The controller controls the driving member to drive the closing member 160 to move to the closed position when the number of water molecules in the inner unit volume is less than or equal to the number of water molecules in the outer unit volume.
It should be noted that, the method of determining the number of water molecules in the internal unit volume by the controller according to the internal temperature and humidity information and the method of determining the number of water molecules in the external unit volume by the controller according to the external temperature and humidity information are the prior art, and are not described herein.
When the battery pack works, the temperature in the battery pack is high, and much water vapor is generated. At this time, the closing member 160 is moved to the open position to perform ventilation, so that more water vapor can be discharged, thereby further reducing the possibility of condensation inside the housing 110.
When the battery pack stops operating, the temperature of the inside of the case 110 is low. At this time, the closing member 160 may be moved to the closed position to reduce ventilation, reducing the possibility of condensed water generated inside the case 110.
Preferably, referring to fig. 1 to 3, the vent holes are located at the side wall 111 of the top case 170. Thereby, ventilation is facilitated.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the vent hole is located at the top end of the side wall 111. This can prevent water vapor from accumulating at the tip of the housing 110, and can perform ventilation more cleanly.
Preferably, the vent holes are plural. Thus, the plurality of ventilation holes ventilate together, and ventilation can be performed more quickly.
It is further preferred that the opposite end faces of the housing are provided with ventilation holes, respectively, as shown in fig. 1 to 3. Specifically, the vent holes include a first vent hole 113 and a second vent hole 114. In the first direction D1, a first end surface of the top case 170 is provided with a first ventilation hole 113, and a second end surface of the top case 170 opposite to the first end surface is provided with a second ventilation hole 114. That is, the first sidewall is provided with the first ventilation hole 113, and the second sidewall is provided with the second ventilation hole 114. Thereby, air outside the housing 110 enters the housing 110 from the first ventilation hole 113. Air within the housing 110 exits the housing 110 through the second vent 114. In this way, ventilation can be performed more quickly.
It will be appreciated that in one embodiment, not shown, one end face of the top case is provided with a first vent hole and the other end face of the top case is provided with a second vent hole in the second direction D2.
In another embodiment, not shown, one end surface of the housing is provided with a first vent hole and the other end surface of the housing is provided with a second vent hole along the third direction D3. That is, the top wall is provided with a first vent hole, and the bottom shell is provided with a second vent hole.
When the battery pack is mounted on a vehicle, the longitudinal direction of the top case 170 is parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the width direction of the top case 170 is parallel to the width direction of the vehicle, and the height direction of the top case 170 is parallel to the height direction of the vehicle. The first direction D1 is parallel to the length direction of the top case 170. The first direction D1 is perpendicular to the plane in which the first sidewall is located. The second direction D2 is parallel to the width direction of the top case 170. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the plane in which the second sidewall lies. The third direction D3 is parallel to the height direction of the top case 170. The third direction D3 is perpendicular to the plane of the top wall 112.
When the vehicle is running, the wind direction outside the vehicle is directed from the first ventilation hole 113 toward the second ventilation hole 114. In this way, the first ventilation hole 113 and the second ventilation hole 114 can be provided to allow ventilation more quickly.
With continued reference to fig. 1 and 2, the vent 115 is located in the top wall 112 of the top case 170. The ventilation valve 140 is disposed through the top wall 112. Thereby, the ventilation is convenient.
With continued reference to fig. 1-3, the battery pack further includes a filter member 130. The filter member 130 is a porous structure. The filter member 130 can block fine dust while passing air. For example, the filter member 130 may include a filter mesh or a filter membrane. The filter member 130 is connected to the top case 170. The filter member 130 covers the vent hole. In this way, the filter member 130 may prevent fine sand from entering the housing 110 when ventilation is performed through the ventilation holes.
Further preferably, the filter member 130 may be polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) made of Expanded PTFE. Thereby, the weight of the filter member 130 is small.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, both the internal and external temperature and humidity sensors 150 are connected to the top wall 112. Along a first direction D1, the internal temperature and humidity sensor is located at an end of the top wall 112. An external temperature and humidity sensor 150 is located at an end of the top wall 112 along the first direction D1. Therefore, the operation of driving the closing member 160 to move more accurately according to the external temperature and humidity information and the internal temperature and humidity information is more accurate, and the possibility of internal condensation of the housing 110 can be further reduced.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the ventilation holes 115 are located between both ends of the top case 170 along the first direction D1. Therefore, the air-permeable mattress is more convenient to breathe. In the second direction D2, the ventilation holes 115 are located at one end of the top wall 112. Thus, the strength of the top case 170 is high.
The utility model further provides a vehicle. The vehicle comprises the battery pack.
In this embodiment, the vehicle includes the aforementioned battery pack, and the controller may be electrically connected to the driving member that drives the closing member 160 to move between the open position and the closed position, so as to control the operation of the driving member, and may be further connected to the external temperature and humidity sensor 150 and the internal temperature and humidity sensor, so as to acquire the external temperature and humidity information and the internal temperature and humidity information, and the controller may control the operation of the driving member according to the external temperature and humidity information and the internal temperature and humidity information, so that when the battery pack is connected to the controller and the driving member, the operation of the driving member may be controlled according to the current internal temperature and humidity information and the external temperature and humidity information, and then the driving member may be controlled to move to the open position when necessary, so as to exchange air through the ventilation holes, thereby reducing the possibility of condensation in the housing 110 to generate condensed water, and avoiding damaging the battery of the battery pack.
