作用を説明する。
[走行用バッテリの冷却作用]
実施例1の車両用バッテリ冷却システムは、ハイブリッド車両や電気自動車に用いるものである。
この走行用に使用されるバッテリ2は、走行時の充放電によって発熱し、この充放電を繰り返すことにより、高温に至る。
例えば、リチウムイオンバッテリでは、高温になると劣化や極間を形成する部材の剥離、不純物の析出などを生じ、結果的にバッテリ容量が減り、寿命を迎える。また、最悪の場合、破損することになる。
The operation will be described.
[Driving battery cooling]
The vehicle battery cooling system according to the first embodiment is used for a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle.
The battery 2 used for traveling generates heat due to charging / discharging during traveling, and reaches a high temperature by repeating this charging / discharging.
For example, in a lithium ion battery, when the temperature is high, deterioration, peeling of members forming the gaps, precipitation of impurities, and the like occur, resulting in a decrease in battery capacity and a lifetime. In the worst case, it will be damaged.

そのため、リチウムイオンバッテリでは、略50度以下程度に冷却して保つことが良好なバッテリ性能の発揮のために必要となる。
他のバッテリにおいても、概ね同様の理由により冷却の必要がある。
車両が走行することにより生じる走行風や送風装置による空冷装置を考えることができるが、車両への走行性能の要求が高くなるにつれ、バッテリの軽量化や大容量化が求められるようになり、より積極的な冷却手段が必要になっている。
For this reason, in a lithium ion battery, it is necessary to cool it to about 50 degrees or less in order to exhibit good battery performance.
Other batteries need to be cooled for the same reason.
You can think of the air cooling device by the driving wind and blower generated by the vehicle running, but as the demand for driving performance to the vehicle becomes higher, the lighter and larger capacity of the battery will be required, and more Aggressive cooling is needed.

実施例1の車両用バッテリ冷却システムは、このような問題を解決して積極的な冷却によりバッテリを良好な性能が発揮できる温度に保ち、その上で、騒音を抑制しつつ、冷却効率良好にバッテリを冷却する。   The vehicle battery cooling system according to the first embodiment solves such a problem and keeps the battery at a temperature at which good performance can be exerted by aggressive cooling, and further improves the cooling efficiency while suppressing noise. Cool the battery.

(a)積極的な冷却作用
実施例1の車両用バッテリ冷却システムでは、ヒートパイプ吸熱部3の内部を冷媒が通過することにより、ヒートパイプ吸熱部3が周囲温度を冷却するようにし、バッテリ2の発熱を、組電池ケース1bを介して吸熱する。
吸熱により温度が上昇した冷媒は、ヒートパイプ吸熱部3の前端部から接続部6、電磁弁5を介して、ヒートパイプ放熱部4の前端部へ移動し、ヒートパイプ放熱部4の後方へ移動することになる。
(a) Positive cooling action In the vehicle battery cooling system of the first embodiment, the refrigerant passes through the heat pipe heat absorption part 3 so that the heat pipe heat absorption part 3 cools the ambient temperature, and the battery 2 This heat is absorbed through the assembled battery case 1b.
The refrigerant whose temperature has risen due to heat absorption moves from the front end portion of the heat pipe heat absorption portion 3 to the front end portion of the heat pipe heat dissipation portion 4 via the connection portion 6 and the electromagnetic valve 5 and moves to the rear of the heat pipe heat dissipation portion 4. Will do.

ヒートパイプ放熱部4は、車体パネル8の下方に設けられているため、走行風や車外の環境温度により冷却され、放熱が進むことになる。さらに、ヒートパイプ放熱部4には、放熱部41が複数設けられているので、放熱面積を広くすることにより、効率良く放熱が行われることになる。   Since the heat pipe heat radiating portion 4 is provided below the vehicle body panel 8, it is cooled by the traveling wind and the ambient temperature outside the vehicle, and the heat radiation proceeds. Furthermore, since the heat pipe heat radiating section 4 is provided with a plurality of heat radiating sections 41, heat radiation is efficiently performed by widening the heat radiation area.

ヒートパイプ放熱部4による放熱で、冷却された冷媒は、ヒートパイプ放熱部4の後端部から、接続部7を介してヒートパイプ吸熱部3の後端部へ移動し、さらにヒートパイプ吸熱部3の前方へ移動することで、吸熱を行う。
この冷媒の循環流れは、冷媒の放熱(冷却)による凝縮と、吸熱(加熱)による蒸発により駆動されるポンプなしで流れが生成される。なお、冷媒の循環量は、電磁弁5で制御されるため、バッテリ2の発熱に応じて、充分な冷却が行われるようにする。またこれにより放熱量が自在に制御され、冬季などの過冷却を防止する。
また、この冷媒の循環によるバッテリ2の冷却は、車室内用に設けられるエアコンシステムに対して独立した、別のものであり、エアコンシステムに負荷を生じさせることがない。
また、ヒートパイプ放熱部4は、車両後方に設けるようにして、エンジン熱の影響を受けないようにし、外部への放熱を良好に行う。
The refrigerant cooled by the heat radiation by the heat pipe heat radiating section 4 moves from the rear end portion of the heat pipe heat radiating section 4 to the rear end portion of the heat pipe heat absorbing section 3 via the connection section 7, and further the heat pipe heat absorbing section. 3 is moved to the front to absorb heat.
The circulating flow of the refrigerant is generated without a pump driven by condensation due to heat dissipation (cooling) of the refrigerant and evaporation due to heat absorption (heating). In addition, since the circulation amount of the refrigerant is controlled by the electromagnetic valve 5, sufficient cooling is performed according to the heat generation of the battery 2. In addition, the amount of heat release can be freely controlled to prevent overcooling in winter.
Further, the cooling of the battery 2 by the circulation of the refrigerant is separate from the air conditioner system provided for the passenger compartment, and does not cause a load on the air conditioner system.
Further, the heat pipe heat radiating portion 4 is provided at the rear of the vehicle so as not to be affected by the engine heat, and performs good heat radiation to the outside.

また、バッテリ2は、複数が組電池ケース1bに収容され、さらに組電池ケース1bの複数がバッテリケース1内に収容され、ヒートパイプ吸熱部3は、バッテリケース1内の空気を冷却する。そのため、この内部空気がバッテリ2の発熱前に冷却されることが生じ、これが予備的な冷却となり、よりバッテリ冷却を効率良く行うことになる。   Further, a plurality of batteries 2 are accommodated in the assembled battery case 1 b, and a plurality of assembled battery cases 1 b are accommodated in the battery case 1, and the heat pipe heat absorption part 3 cools the air in the battery case 1. Therefore, this internal air is cooled before the battery 2 generates heat, and this becomes preliminary cooling, and the battery is cooled more efficiently.

よって、走行時の充放電によって発熱したバッテリ2は、ヒートパイプ吸熱部3とヒートパイプ放熱部4、接続部6,7を循環する冷媒によって、効率よく冷却される。
この積極的な冷却によって、バッテリ2を適度な温度に保つことができ、バッテリ2の性能を良好に発揮させることができる。
Therefore, the battery 2 that has generated heat due to charging and discharging during traveling is efficiently cooled by the refrigerant circulating through the heat pipe heat absorption part 3, the heat pipe heat dissipation part 4, and the connection parts 6 and 7.
By this active cooling, the battery 2 can be kept at an appropriate temperature, and the performance of the battery 2 can be exhibited well.

(b)騒音を抑制する作用
実施例1の車両用バッテリ冷却システムでは、送風装置を用いることなくバッテリ2の冷却を行う。そのため、従来のようなファンのみによる冷却に比較して、ほとんど音を発生させないと言ってもよいほど騒音が低減される。
(b) Action for suppressing noise In the vehicle battery cooling system of the first embodiment, the battery 2 is cooled without using a blower. Therefore, compared with the conventional cooling only by the fan, the noise is reduced to such an extent that it can be said that almost no sound is generated.

(c)車両搭載性の向上作用
実施例1の車両用バッテリ冷却システムでは、バッテリケース1aの内部において、複数の組電池ケース1bの側方に、ヒートパイプ吸熱部3が配置されるのみであり、装置を大型化することがない。
従来の送風で冷却するものでも、冷却の風通しのために、バッテリケース1aの内部において組電池ケース1bの間を適度に空ける必要があり、そのスペースが実施例1で有効的に活用されているからである。
(c) Effect of improving vehicle mountability In the vehicle battery cooling system according to the first embodiment, the heat pipe heat absorbing portion 3 is only disposed on the side of the plurality of assembled battery cases 1b inside the battery case 1a. The apparatus is not increased in size.
Even in the case of cooling by conventional air blowing, it is necessary to provide an appropriate space between the assembled battery cases 1b inside the battery case 1a for ventilation of the cooling, and the space is effectively utilized in the first embodiment. Because.

さらに、送風機等によりバッテリケース1aの一部が外部へ大きく突出するようなことがなく済み、全体的に省スペースなものとなる。
このように実施例1の車両用バッテリ冷却システムは、車両搭載性が向上する。
Further, the battery case 1a is not greatly protruded to the outside by a blower or the like, and the overall space is saved.
As described above, the vehicle battery cooling system according to the first embodiment has improved vehicle mountability.

(d)車両の燃費への影響を抑制する作用
実施例1の車両用バッテリ冷却システムは、ハイブリッド車両において、エンジンの駆動負荷にならないため、低燃費化の促進を図ることができ、車両の燃費への影響を抑制する。
(d) Action for suppressing the influence on the fuel consumption of the vehicle The vehicle battery cooling system of the first embodiment does not become an engine driving load in the hybrid vehicle, so that it is possible to promote low fuel consumption. Suppress the impact on

(2)循環する冷媒を制御する電磁弁5を、ヒートパイプの途中に設けたため、適確な冷媒循環量とすることで、必要に応じた冷却性能を維持することができる。   (2) Since the electromagnetic valve 5 for controlling the circulating refrigerant is provided in the middle of the heat pipe, the cooling performance as required can be maintained by setting the refrigerant circulation amount appropriately.

(7)ヒートパイプの少なくとも放熱ヒートパイプ4を、エンジンから離れた車両後方に設けたため、エンジン熱の影響を受けにくく、ヒートパイプの放熱性能を確保することができる。   (7) Since at least the heat radiating heat pipe 4 of the heat pipe is provided at the rear of the vehicle away from the engine, it is difficult to be affected by the engine heat and the heat radiating performance of the heat pipe can be ensured.
