この発明は液冷式冷却装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a liquid cooling type cooling device.

この明細書において、「アルミニウム」という用語には、純アルミニウムの他にアルミニウム合金を含むものとする。   In this specification, the term “aluminum” includes aluminum alloys in addition to pure aluminum.

近年、環境問題などから、ハイブリッド自動車、電気自動車等が注目されており、そのために各種の二次電池が開発されている。各種の二次電池の中でもリチウムイオン二次電池は、エネルギー密度が高く、密閉性に優れ、かつメンテナンスフリーであるため、ハイブリッド自動車や電気自動車用のバッテリとして優れているが、大型のものは実用化されていない。そこで、複数個の小型の単電池を直列または並列に接続して組電池の形態とすることにより、所望の電圧や容量を確保している。   In recent years, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, and the like have attracted attention due to environmental problems, and various secondary batteries have been developed for this purpose. Among various types of secondary batteries, lithium ion secondary batteries have high energy density, excellent sealing properties, and are maintenance-free, so they are excellent as batteries for hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles.

In this case, a relatively large temperature difference occurs between the single cells.

そこで、上述したような組電池におけるすべての単電池の温度差を小さくすることを目的として、仕切壁を介して並列状に形成されかつ両端が開口した複数の通路を有する扁平板状のアルミニウム製冷却液流通体と、冷却液流通体における通路の長手方向の一端に、通路の並び方向に並んで設けられたアルミニウム製入口ヘッダおよびアルミニウム製出口ヘッダと、冷却液流通体における通路の長手方向の他端に設けられたアルミニウム製中間ヘッダとを備えており、冷却液流通体の平坦な片面が発熱体取付面となり、全通路のうち冷却液流通体の片側に連続して並んで形成された複数の通路が流入側通路となるとともに、冷却液流通体の他側に連続して並んで形成された複数の残りの通路が流出側通路となり、入口ヘッダが流入側通路に通じるとともに、出口ヘッダが流出側通路に通じ、中間ヘッダが流入側通路および流出側通路に通じて両者を連通させており、入口ヘッダに流入した冷却液が、入口ヘッダから流入側通路、中間ヘッダおよび流出側通路を通って出口ヘッダに至り、出口ヘッダから流出するようになされている液冷式冷却装置が提案されている(特許文献1参照)。   Therefore, for the purpose of reducing the temperature difference of all the single cells in the assembled battery as described above, it is made of flat plate-like aluminum having a plurality of passages that are formed in parallel through the partition walls and open at both ends. The coolant circulation body, the aluminum inlet header and the aluminum outlet header provided in the longitudinal direction of the passage in the coolant circulation body and arranged in the direction of the passage, and the longitudinal direction of the passage in the coolant circulation body An intermediate header made of aluminum provided at the other end, and a flat one surface of the coolant circulation body is a heating element mounting surface, and is formed side by side continuously on one side of the coolant circulation body in all passages The plurality of passages become inflow side passages, the plurality of remaining passages formed side by side continuously on the other side of the coolant circulation body become outflow side passages, and the inlet header passes through the inflow side passages. In addition, the outlet header communicates with the outflow passage, the intermediate header communicates with the inflow passage and the outflow passage, and the coolant flows into the inlet header from the inlet header to the inflow passage and the intermediate header. In addition, there has been proposed a liquid cooling type cooling device that reaches the outlet header through the outflow side passage and flows out of the outlet header (see Patent Document 1).

しかしながら、特許文献1には、液冷式冷却装置の具体的な構造は記載されておらず、組電池を支持するのに必要な強度を確保する手段や、組み立て方は不明である。   However, Patent Document 1 does not describe a specific structure of the liquid cooling type cooling device, and means for assuring the strength necessary to support the assembled battery and how to assemble are unknown.

Place a linear brazing material on the part of the end face that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral edge, and braze the inlet and outlet headers and the coolant circulation body by high-frequency induction heating brazing. And a step consisting of,
Arrange the coolant circulation body so that the end surface on the side where the notch is not formed faces downward, the intermediate header on the end surface facing the lower side of the coolant circulation body, and the gap portion in the entire inflow side passage And the outer flange protrudes outward from the outer peripheral edge of the end face in the outward flange of the intermediate header, and is arranged so that the peripheral edge of the outward flange protrudes outward from the outer peripheral edge of the end face. A method for manufacturing a liquid cooling type cooling apparatus, comprising: placing a linear brazing material on a portion; and brazing the intermediate header and a coolant circulation body by a high frequency induction heating brazing method.

上記1)および2)の液冷式冷却装置によれば、入口ヘッダに流入した冷却液が、入口ヘッダから流入側通路、中間ヘッダおよび流出側通路を通って出口ヘッダに至り、出口ヘッダから流出するようになされているので、冷却液流通体の平坦な発熱体取付面に、複数の単電池からなる組電池を配置することによって、すべての単電池を効率良く冷却することが可能になり、すべての単電池に大きな温度差が生じることを防止しうる。   According to the liquid cooling type cooling apparatus of 1) and 2) above, the coolant flowing into the inlet header reaches the outlet header from the inlet header through the inflow side passage, the intermediate header and the outflow side passage, and flows out from the outlet header. Therefore, by disposing an assembled battery composed of a plurality of single cells on the flat heating element mounting surface of the coolant circulation body, it becomes possible to efficiently cool all the single cells, A large temperature difference can be prevented from occurring in all the single cells.

そして、冷却液流通体が質別T5のJIS A6000系合金からなるアルミニウム押出形材製であるから、冷却液流通体を、発熱体取付面が上方を向くように水平状態で配置し、発熱体取付面に複数の単電池からなる組電池を載置した場合にも、組電池を支持するのに必要な強度を確保することが可能になる。たとえば、入口ヘッダ、出口ヘッダおよび中間ヘッダを、上記3)の製造方法のように、高周波誘導加熱ろう付法によってろう付すると、冷却液流通体の全体が加熱されることが防止されるので、冷却液流通体の大部分の焼鈍による強度低下が防止される。また、入口ヘッダが、冷却液流通体の流入部における切り欠きが形成された側の端面に、空隙部が全流入側通路に通じるとともに、外向きフランジの周縁が当該端面の外周縁よりも外側に突出するようにろう付され、出口ヘッダが、冷却液流通体の流出部における切り欠きが形成された側の端面に、空隙部が全流出側通路に通じるとともに、外向きフランジの周縁が当該端面の外周縁よりも外側に突出するようにろう付され、中間ヘッダが、冷却液流通体の切り欠きが形成されていない側の端面に、空隙部が全流入側通路および全流出側通路に通じるとともに、外向きフランジの周縁が当該端面の外周縁よりも外側に突出するようにろう付されているので、冷却液流通体の端面と、入口ヘッダ、出口ヘッダおよび中間ヘッダのとの間にろう付不良が生じることが防止される。特に、冷却液流通体がアルミニウム押出形材製であるから、端面寸法にばらつきが生じ易いが、この場合にも、冷却液流通体の端面と、入口ヘッダ、出口ヘッダおよび中間ヘッダのとの間にろう付不良が生じることが防止される。さらに、液冷式冷却装置を上記3)の方法により製造する際に、入口ヘッダの外向きフランジにおける冷却液流通体の流入部の端面の外周縁よりも外側に突出した部分、出口ヘッダの外向きフランジにおける冷却液流通体の流出部の端面の外周縁よりも外側に突出した部分、および中間ヘッダの外向きフランジにおける冷却液流通体の端面の外周縁よりも外側に突出した部分に線状のろう材を載せることができるので、ろう材の保持および位置決めをすること可能になる。   And since the coolant circulation body is made of an aluminum extruded shape made of JIS A6000 series alloy of grade T5, the coolant circulation body is arranged in a horizontal state with the heating element mounting surface facing upward, and the heating element Even when an assembled battery composed of a plurality of single cells is placed on the mounting surface, it is possible to ensure the strength required to support the assembled battery. For example, if the inlet header, the outlet header and the intermediate header are brazed by the high frequency induction heating brazing method as in the manufacturing method of the above 3), the entire coolant circulation body is prevented from being heated. A decrease in strength due to the annealing of most of the coolant circulation body is prevented. In addition, the inlet header has an end face on the side where the notch is formed in the inflow portion of the coolant circulation body, the gap portion communicates with the entire inflow side passage, and the peripheral edge of the outward flange is outside the outer peripheral edge of the end surface. The outlet header is connected to the end surface of the coolant flow body where the notch is formed on the side where the notch is formed, the gap portion leads to the entire flow-out side passage, and the peripheral edge of the outward flange is Brazed so as to protrude outward from the outer peripheral edge of the end surface, the intermediate header is on the end surface on the side where the notch of the coolant circulation body is not formed, and the gap portion is on the all inflow side passage and all the outflow side passages And is brazed so that the outer peripheral edge of the outward flange protrudes outward from the outer peripheral edge of the end face, so that it is between the end face of the coolant circulation body and the inlet header, outlet header and intermediate header. Brazing It is prevented good results. In particular, since the coolant circulation body is made of extruded aluminum, the end face dimensions are likely to vary, but in this case as well, it is between the end face of the coolant circulation body and the inlet header, outlet header and intermediate header. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of brazing defects. Further, when the liquid cooling type cooling device is manufactured by the method of the above 3), a portion protruding outward from the outer peripheral edge of the end surface of the inflow portion of the coolant circulation body in the outward flange of the inlet header, the outside of the outlet header Linearly projecting from the outer peripheral edge of the end face of the coolant flowing body in the facing flange, and protruding outward from the outer peripheral edge of the end face of the coolant flowing body in the outward flange of the intermediate header Since the brazing filler metal can be placed, the brazing filler metal can be held and positioned.

上記2)の液冷式冷却装置によれば、冷却液流通体の近接した流入側通路と流出側通路との間の仕切壁の肉厚を比較的大きくすることにより、組電池を支持するのに必要な強度を効果的に増大させることが可能になる。   According to the liquid cooling type cooling device of 2), the assembled battery is supported by relatively increasing the wall thickness of the partition wall between the inflow side passage and the outflow side passage adjacent to the coolant circulation body. It is possible to effectively increase the strength required for the.

上記3)の製造方法によれば、冷却液流通体の強度を低下させることなく、冷却液流通体と、入口ヘッダ、出口ヘッダおよび中間ヘッダとを比較的簡単に、かつろう付不良が生じることなくろう付することが可能になる。   According to the manufacturing method of 3) above, the cooling fluid circulation body, the inlet header, the outlet header, and the intermediate header can be relatively easily and poorly brazed without reducing the strength of the cooling fluid circulation body. It becomes possible to braze.
