Description

この発明は、高温の物体から熱を奪って当該物体を冷却したり、低温の物体に熱を伝えて当該物体を加熱したりする伝熱装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a heat transfer device that takes heat from a high-temperature object to cool the object, or transfers heat to a low-temperature object to heat the object.

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.

たとえばハイブリッド自動車、電気自動車等の電動機駆動用バッテリー装置として、たとえばリチウムイオン二次電池などの各種の二次電池からなる複数個の小型単電池を直列または並列に接続して組電池の形態としたものが用いられている。特に、電気自動車においては航続距離の延長のニーズから組電池の大容量化が求められるので、複数の組電池が直列または並列に接続されるように組み合わされている。   For example, as a battery device for driving an electric motor of a hybrid vehicle, an electric vehicle or the like, a plurality of small unit cells made of various secondary batteries such as lithium ion secondary batteries are connected in series or in parallel to form a battery pack. Things are used. In particular, in an electric vehicle, since the capacity of an assembled battery is required due to the need for extending the cruising distance, a plurality of assembled batteries are combined in series or in parallel.

ところで、二次電池は、使用温度によって性能や寿命が変化するので、長時間にわたって効率良く使用するためには適正な温度で使用する必要がある。しかしながら、上述した組電池においては、各単電池間に比較的大きな温度差が生じ、その結果単電池が劣化して寿命が短くなるという問題がある。   By the way, since the performance and life of the secondary battery change depending on the use temperature, it is necessary to use it at an appropriate temperature in order to use it efficiently for a long time. However, in the above-described assembled battery, there is a problem that a relatively large temperature difference occurs between the single cells, and as a result, the single cells are deteriorated to shorten the life.

そこで、組電池における各単電池間に生じる温度差をできるだけ小さくすることを目的として、本出願人は、先に、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押出形材製冷却液流通体と、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、入口ヘッダに冷却液を流入させるアルミニウム製入口パイプと、出口ヘッダから冷却液を流出させるアルミニウム製出口パイプとを備えており、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、出口ヘッダおよび中間ヘッダが冷却液流通体にろう付され、入口パイプが入口ヘッダにろう付され、出口パイプが出口ヘッダにろう付されている液冷式冷却装置を提案した(特許文献1参照)。   Therefore, for the purpose of minimizing the temperature difference generated between each unit cell in the assembled battery, the present applicant has a plurality of passages formed in parallel through the partition wall and opened at both ends. A flat plate-shaped aluminum extruded shape coolant circulation body, an aluminum inlet header and outlet header provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the passage in the coolant circulation body, and arranged in the line direction of the passage, and a coolant circulation An aluminum intermediate header provided at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the passage in the body, an aluminum inlet pipe for flowing cooling liquid into the inlet header, and an aluminum outlet pipe for flowing cooling liquid from the outlet header The flat one side of the coolant circulation body becomes the heating element mounting surface, and a plurality of passages that are continuously arranged on one side of the coolant circulation body out of all the passages flow in. A plurality of remaining passages formed side by side continuously on the other side of the coolant circulation body become the outflow side passage, the inlet header leads to the inflow side passage, and the outlet header leads to the outflow side passage. The intermediate header communicates with the inflow side passage and the outflow side passage, the inlet header, the outlet header and the intermediate header are brazed to the coolant flow body, the inlet pipe is brazed to the inlet header, and the outlet A liquid cooling type cooling device in which a pipe is brazed to an outlet header has been proposed (see Patent Document 1).

特許文献1記載の液冷式伝熱装置の場合、複数の単電池からなる1つの組電池が冷却液流通体の発熱体取付面に熱的に接触させられるようになっており、複数の組電池を同時に冷却する場合には、複数の液冷式伝熱装置が直列状または並列状に接続されて用いられる。   In the case of the liquid-cooled heat transfer device described in Patent Document 1, one assembled battery made up of a plurality of single cells is brought into thermal contact with the heating element mounting surface of the coolant circulation body. When simultaneously cooling the battery, a plurality of liquid-cooled heat transfer devices are connected in series or in parallel.

しかしながら、特許文献1記載の液冷式伝熱装置は、アルミニウム押出形材製冷却液流通体、アルミニウム製入口ヘッダ、アルミニウム製出口ヘッダ、アルミニウム製中間ヘッダ、アルミニウム製入口パイプおよびアルミニウム製出口パイプを備えており、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をろう付するとともに、入口ヘッダと入口パイプ、および出口ヘッダと出口パイプとをろう付する必要があるので、複数の組電池を冷却する場合のように、複数の液冷式伝熱装置を用意する必要がある場合には、部品点数が極めて多くなるとともに製造作業が面倒になる。   However, the liquid-cooled heat transfer device described in Patent Document 1 includes an aluminum extruded profile coolant circulating body, an aluminum inlet header, an aluminum outlet header, an aluminum intermediate header, an aluminum inlet pipe, and an aluminum outlet pipe. A plurality of assembled batteries because it is necessary to braze the coolant flowing body, the inlet header, the outlet header, and the intermediate header, and braze the inlet header and the inlet pipe, and the outlet header and the outlet pipe. When it is necessary to prepare a plurality of liquid-cooled heat transfer devices as in cooling, the number of parts becomes extremely large and the manufacturing work becomes troublesome.

上記1)〜6)の伝熱装置によれば、伝熱媒体入口管と、伝熱媒体出口管と、一端部が伝熱媒体入口管に通じさせられるとともに他端部が伝熱媒体出口管に通じさせられた複数の略U形伝熱媒体流通体とを備えているので、伝熱媒体入口管から送られてきた伝熱媒体は、すべての伝熱媒体流通体内を並列状に流れた後に、伝熱媒体出口を通って排出される。そして、伝熱媒体流通体が、真っ直ぐな扁平管状で、かつ管長手方向、管幅方向および管高さ方向をそれぞれ同一方向に向けた状態で管幅方向に間隔をおいて配置された第1および第2流通管部と、両流通管部に一体に設けられ、かつ両流通管部内での伝熱媒体の流れ方向が逆向きとなるように両流通管部の端部どうしを一体に連結するUターン管部とよりなり、伝熱媒体流通体が、第1流通管部におけるUターン管部とは反対側の端部において伝熱媒体入口管に通じさせられるとともに、第2流通管部におけるUターン管部とは反対側の端部において伝熱媒体出口管に通じさせられているので、両流通管部の管高さ方向の少なくとも一側面に物体を熱的に接触させておくと、当該物体と両流通管部内を流れる伝熱媒体との間で熱が伝達される。したがって、低温の伝熱媒体を流すことによって、複数の高温物体から熱を奪って当該物体を同時に冷却することが可能となり、これとは逆に高温の伝熱媒体を流すことによって複数の低温物体に熱を与えて当該物体を同時に加熱することが可能になる。   According to the heat transfer device of the above 1) to 6), the heat transfer medium inlet pipe, the heat transfer medium outlet pipe, one end portion is connected to the heat transfer medium inlet pipe, and the other end portion is the heat transfer medium outlet pipe. Since the heat transfer medium sent from the heat transfer medium inlet pipe flows in parallel in all the heat transfer medium flow bodies. Later, it is discharged through the heat transfer medium outlet. The heat transfer medium circulating body is a straight flat tube, and is arranged at intervals in the tube width direction with the tube longitudinal direction, the tube width direction, and the tube height direction being directed in the same direction. And the second flow pipe part and the two flow pipe parts are integrally connected to each other so that the flow direction of the heat transfer medium in both flow pipe parts is opposite to each other. And a heat transfer medium circulating body is connected to the heat transfer medium inlet pipe at the end opposite to the U-turn pipe in the first flow pipe, and the second flow pipe Since the heat transfer medium outlet pipe is communicated with the end portion on the opposite side of the U-turn pipe section, the object is in thermal contact with at least one side surface in the pipe height direction of both flow pipe sections. , Heat is transferred between the object and the heat transfer medium flowing in both flow pipes. . Therefore, by flowing a low-temperature heat transfer medium, it becomes possible to take heat from a plurality of high-temperature objects and simultaneously cool the objects. Conversely, by flowing a high-temperature heat transfer medium, a plurality of low-temperature objects can be cooled. It becomes possible to heat the object at the same time by applying heat.

しかも、各伝熱媒体流通体は、第1および第2流通管部と、両流通管部に一体に設けられ、かつ両流通管部内での伝熱媒体の流れ方向が逆向きとなるように両流通管部の端部どうしを一体に連結するUターン管部とよりなるので、各伝熱媒体流通体を1つの扁平管を用いて作ることが可能となり、特許文献1記載の伝熱装置を複数用意する場合に比べて、部品点数を低減しうるとともに製造作業が容易になる。   Moreover, each heat transfer medium flow body is provided integrally with the first and second flow pipe sections and both flow pipe sections, and the flow direction of the heat transfer medium in both flow pipe sections is opposite. Since it consists of the U-turn pipe part which connects the end parts of both flow pipe parts integrally, it becomes possible to make each heat transfer medium flow body using one flat pipe, and the heat transfer device described in Patent Document 1 Compared to the case of preparing a plurality of components, the number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing operation can be facilitated.

上記2)および3)の伝熱装置によれば、物体を各伝熱媒体流通体の両流通管部の上面および下面のうち少なくとも一方に熱的に接触させることにより、物体と流通管部内を流れる伝熱媒体との間で熱を授受することが可能になる。   According to the heat transfer device of 2) and 3) above, the object and the inside of the flow pipe part are brought into thermal contact with at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of both flow pipe parts of each heat transfer medium flow body. Heat can be exchanged with the flowing heat transfer medium.

上記3)の伝熱装置によれば、伝熱媒体入口管および伝熱媒体出口管のうちいずれか一方の管が他方の管よりも上方に配置されている場合であっても、各伝熱媒体流通体の両流通管部の上面および下面をそれぞれ同一水平面上に位置させることができる。したがって、物体を各伝熱媒体流通体の両流通管部の上面および下面のうち少なくとも一方に熱的に接触させる場合において、物体と流通管部内を流れる伝熱媒体との間での熱の授受効率が向上する。   According to the heat transfer device of the above 3), even if any one of the heat transfer medium inlet pipe and the heat transfer medium outlet pipe is disposed above the other pipe, The upper surface and the lower surface of both the flow pipe portions of the medium flow body can be positioned on the same horizontal plane. Therefore, when an object is brought into thermal contact with at least one of the upper and lower surfaces of both flow pipe portions of each heat transfer medium flow body, heat is transferred between the object and the heat transfer medium flowing in the flow pipe portion. Efficiency is improved.

上記4)および5)の伝熱装置によれば、物体を各伝熱媒体流通体の両流通管部の両側面に熱的に接触させることにより、多くの物体と流通管部内を流れる伝熱媒体との間で熱を授受することが可能になる。   According to the heat transfer device of the above 4) and 5), heat transfer that flows in a large number of objects and the flow pipe portions by bringing the objects into thermal contact with both side surfaces of both flow pipe portions of each heat transfer medium flow body. Heat can be exchanged with the medium.

上記5)の伝熱装置によれば、下向き連通管および上向き連通管を用いるだけですべての伝熱媒体流通体の第1および第2流通管部の管厚み方向の両側面を、それぞれ同一鉛直面上に位置させた状態で、両流通管部を伝熱媒体入口管および伝熱媒体出口管に接続することができる。   According to the heat transfer device of the above 5), both the side surfaces in the tube thickness direction of the first and second flow pipe portions of all the heat transfer medium flow bodies are the same vertical by using only the downward communication pipe and the upward communication pipe. Both flow pipe parts can be connected to the heat transfer medium inlet pipe and the heat transfer medium outlet pipe in a state of being positioned on the surface.

上記6)の伝熱装置によれば、略U形伝熱媒体流通体を比較的簡単な方法でつくることができる。たとえば、略U形伝熱媒体流通体の製造方法の一例が、特許第5133771号公報に記載されている。   According to the heat transfer device of the above 6), a substantially U-shaped heat transfer medium circulating body can be produced by a relatively simple method. For example, an example of a method for producing a substantially U-shaped heat transfer medium circulating body is described in Japanese Patent No. 5133771.
