相关技术中,动力电池包冲压钎焊冷却器如图1所示,由内设流道的冲压板,均温板,接头焊接而成。冷媒通过接头进口进入流道,通过分流的方式,并行流过平行排列的流道,冷媒在流道内循环流动,最终汇流流出接头出口,完成冷媒在流道内的循环。此类冷却器通过制冷剂蒸发吸热的特性与动力电池进行热交换,从而达到动力电池降温的目的。
该动力电池包冲压钎焊冷却器具有以下缺点:所有的流道流量受到接头进口制冷剂流量的影响,在对冷却器的进口流量调节时,会影响整个冷却器与电池接触区域的换热效率。冷却器流道采用一体式设计,增大了整个冷却器的压降,导致冷媒在不同压力下的蒸发温度不同,最终导致冷却器的内的温度梯度随正沿程逐渐增大。流道沿程过长导致了并行排列的支路分流效果差、同时导致流道换热面积不同,受此原因的影响冷媒在不同支路中的蒸发程度不同,最终致使个别支路的冷媒提前蒸干,导致并行流道局部过热。
如图2至图8所示,为了实现上述目的,本公开第一方面,提供一种直冷板10,该直冷板10包括设于其内部的多个换热流道100,每个换热流道100包括一个供制冷剂进入的进口101和一个供制冷剂流出的出口102,其中,至少一个换热流道100围设于其他换热流道100的周向,每个换热流道100于直冷板10上形成一个换热单元,该换热单元用于电池(例如动力电池300)上的不同温度区域的换热。
通过上述技术方案,即本公开的直冷板10,该直冷板10包括多个换热流道100,且每个换热流道100包括一个进口101和一个出口102,每个换热流道100形成一个换热单元,该换热单元对应于电池(例如动力电池300)上的不同温度区域,根据电池不同温度区域的冷却和/或加热需要,可以通过控制每个换热流道100的进口101的制冷剂的流量和压力以调整换热流道100内的温度,以使得每个换热单元的冷却能力和/或加热能力与其对应的电池的不同温度区域相适配,改善电池的整体温差,更精准地实现电池的温差管理,提高电池的使用寿命。同时,至少一个换热流道100围设于其他的换热流道100的周向,能够对电池的外侧周向优先进行加热或者冷却,有利于改善电池在不同环境中温差,在一定程度上提高电池的使用寿命。
值得注意的是,该直冷板10中通入制冷剂,可以用于冷却,也可以通入气体冷媒用于制热。
可以理解的是,该直冷板10的结构形式,实现了按照所需冷却和/或加热的热量给电池不同温度
区域通入不同的(制冷剂)冷媒,可以更好更精确的控制电池的整体温差;同时,因在直冷板10上分隔了不同换热单元,其响应速度也会加快;再者,与传统的结构相比,将一个整体的流道分成了单独控制的多个流道,大大降低直冷板10的摩擦压降。
需要说明的是,上述的电池可以为动力电池300,也可以为其他在充、放电或者使用过程中不同区域发热温度不同的电池。下面均以动力电池300为例来对应说明该直冷板10的具体结构,但不应理解为对本公开保护范围的限定。
多个换热流道100的进口101和出口102位置可以采用任意合适的方式分别进行构造,考虑到方便与冷却系统(例如空调系统)连接的问题,在一些实施例中,换热流道的进口101和出口102设于直冷板10的同一侧。即针对每个换热流道100来说,该换热流道100的进口101和出口102设于直冷板10的同一侧,对于多个换热流道100来说,多个换热流道100的进口101和出口102也都设于直冷板10的同一侧,方便通过一个接头200实现与外部空调系统连接,从而简化整体结构,节省零部件和整个空间占用。
换热流道100可根据实际需要布置多个,且布置方式也不作限定,具体可以根据电池的发热区域进行相应的布置。
动力电池300的能量密度高,体积大,电芯的不同部位往往发热量不同。其中,电芯的两端电极的发热量要大于电芯中段。而传统的冷却器采用单一进出口、冷板温度均匀的冷却或者加热方式,即使可以降低电芯的最高温度,但是对电芯的整体温差并没有显著的改善,极大的影响了动力电池300的寿命。
同时,由于电池发热不均,导致不同地方换热需求量不同。现在的技术其实是按照所有部分都满足最大换热量来设计,这样就导致能量极大的浪费,同时也影响整车端压缩机功率分配。事实上,由于快充的急切需求以及大功率压缩机开发的缓慢,目前高倍率充电下电池的热管理成为行业的一个急需解决的问题。
考虑到上述情况,为了改善动力电池300的温差,如图2、图7及图8所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,换热流道100为两个,分别为流道一110和流道二120,且流道一110围设于流道二120的外侧。其中,流道一110对应于动力电池300的两端位置A的正负极,该处为发热量较大的区域,流道二120对应于动力电池300的电芯的中部位置B,该处为发热量相对较小的区域。可以控制流道一110和流道二120的冷却能力不同,即,流道一110的冷却能力大于流道二120的冷却能力,利用冷却能力较强的流道一110对发热量较大的动力电池300的两端位置A进行冷却,利用冷却能力相对较弱的流道二120对发热量较小的动力电池300的电芯的中部位置B进行冷却,从而解决电芯发热不均匀,降低电池电芯的温差,提高电池包寿命。同时,将换热流道100设置为两个,形成两个温度可以单独控制调节的换热单元;相较于传统一个换热流道的布置方式,可以在一定程度上减小沿程压差,从而避免沿程分流不均导致局部过热加剧,以改善冷却板的局部过热。
需要说明的是,在例如严寒地区,室外温度较低,为了保障动力电池300的使用性能,需要对动
力电池300进行加热,这时,空调系统可以为制热模式,其中,流道一110对应于动力电池300的两端位置A的正负极,该处为发热量相对较大,流道二120对应于动力电池300的电芯的中部位置B,该处为发热量相对较小的区域。可以控制流道一110和流道二120的加热能力不同,即,流道一110的加热能力小于流道二120的加热能力,利用加热能力较弱的流道一110对发热量较大的动力电池300的两端位置A进行加热,利用加热能力相对较强的流道二120对发热量较小的动力电池300的电芯的中部位置B进行加热,通过不同加热需求,提高电芯的温度均匀性,降低温差,也能够提高电池包的寿命。
另外,也可以通过流道一110进行制冷,流道二120进行制热,即本公开的直冷板10中的多个换热流道100中,部分用于制冷,部分用于制热,以实现电池的同时需要制冷和制热的需求。
另外,还可以将制冷剂流量优先分配给流道一110,首先对温度较高的区域进行降温或者对温度较低的区域进行加热,经过一定时长后,再将制冷剂流量按需要分配给流道二120,以实现温度较低的区域和温度较高的区域一起冷却或者加热,改善温差。
需要说明的是,流道一110和流道二120的冷却或者加热可以通过如下方式进行实现,可以通过分别通入不同的制冷剂以控制两个流道的冷却或者加热能力;还可以分别将其连接于同一制冷系统中,例如,车辆空调的制冷系统,通过在流道一110一和流道二120的上游分别设一个电子膨胀阀,以控制制冷剂进入两个流道的流量和蒸发压力,实现压缩机功率的分配,也可以实现两个流道冷却或者加热能力的不同。为空调制冷系统的常规技术,这里不再赘述。
可以实现分区精准控制,无需要再按照所有部分都满足最大换热量来设计而导致能量极大的浪费、影响整车端压缩机功率分配,更加的节能并给予整车更多的压缩机功率。
流道一110和流道二120的具体布置方式可以采用任意合适的结构,如图2、图3、图4及图5所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,流道二120大体呈“凹”字形,流道一110包括两个第一冷却部1121,以及连接于两个第一冷却部1121之间的第二冷却部1122,其中,第二冷却部1122伸入流道二120形成的凹陷部124内,两个第一冷却部1121围设于流道二120的外侧周向。如图4所示,流道二120大体呈“凹”字形,是指流道二120主要包括上下两个部分,且在该两部分之间形成右侧开口的凹陷部124,相应的,如图3所示,流道一110的两个第一冷却部1121设于流道二120的外侧,同时用于连接两个第一冷却部1121的第二冷却部1122伸入流道二120的凹陷部124内,流道一110两个第一冷却部1121对应于动力电池300的两端位置A的正负极,第二冷却部1122对应于电池电芯的中部位置,主要是因为动力电池300的两端区域发热量较大,而电池电芯的中部位置B由于散热比较困难,也可能温度较高,因此将第二冷却部1122设置为与之对应,通过强化冷却能力实现快速冷却;同时,流道二120的上下两个部分对应电池的两端与中间位置之间,可以采用冷却能力相对较弱的形式进行冷却,从而控制动力电池300的温差,提高电池的使用寿命,保障车辆的正常使用。
需要说明的是,流道一110和流道二120的进口101和出口102均设于左侧,即两个进口101和两个出口102均设于左侧,可以通过一个接头200进行连接,可以简化连接结构。
在另一些实施例中,流道一110可以大体呈“口”字形,流道二120可以采用其他任意的形成设于该“口”字形的流道一110的内部,流道一110设定为冷却能力较强的,用于对电池的两端位置A的正负极进行冷却,流道二120设定为冷却能力较弱的,用于对电池的电芯中部位置B进行冷却。
需要说明的是,在需要加热时,可以将流道一110和流道二120的制冷剂的进入切换一下,通过加热能够较强的流道二120对应的电池的电芯中部位置B进行加热,流道一110设定为加热能力较弱的,用于对电池的两端位置A的正负极进行加热。
值得注意的是,流道一110和流道二120的具体结构可根据热负荷的变化进行相应的设计,不局限于上述的布置形式。
如图3所示,在一些实施例中,流道一110包括依次连通的第一分流通道111、第一冷却通道112和第一汇流通道113,且第一分流通道111、第一冷却通道112和第一汇流通道113均包括至少两个子通道,第一冷却通道112的子通道的数量大于第一分流通道111和第一汇流通道113的子通道的数量。其中,第一冷却通道112形成上述的两个第一冷却部1121和第二冷却部1122;第一分流通道111和第一汇流通道113于分别远离第一冷却通道112的一端形成进口101和出口102。第一冷却通道112的子通道数量大于第一分流通道111和第一汇流通道113,可以增加冷却的面积以适应待冷却区域的需要。
如图4所示,同时,流道二120包括依次连通的第二分流通道121、第二冷却通道122和第二汇流通道123,且第二分流通道121、第二冷却通道122和第二汇流通道123均包括至少两个子通道,第二冷却通道122的子通道的数量大于第二分流通道121和第二汇流通道123的子通道的数量。其中,第二冷却通道122与第二分流通道121和第二汇流通道123一起形成上述的“凹”字形,而第二冷却通道122于右侧向左侧方向凹陷以形成用于容纳第二冷却部1122的凹陷部124。第二分流通道121和第二汇流通道123于分别远离第二冷却通道122的一端形成进口101和出口102。第二冷却通道122的子通道数量大于第二分流通道121和第二汇流通道123,同样可以增加冷却的面积以适应待冷却区域的需要。
在一些实施例中,第一分流通道111、第一汇流通道113、第二分流通道121和第二汇流通道123均可以包括两个子通道,而第一冷却通道112可以包括四个子通道,第一冷却通道112的每两个子通道连接一个第一分流通道111和第一汇流通道113的子通道;而第二冷却通道122可以包括八个子通道,第二冷却通道122的每四个子通道连接一个第二分流通道121和第二汇流通道123的子通道,在满足分流的情况下,进一步提高某一温度区域的冷却均匀性。
为了进一步减小压降,减少直冷板10因压力变化引起的温差,同时降低能耗损失,在一些实施例中,第一分流通道111和第一汇流通道113的子通道的数量相同;第二分流通道121和第二汇流通道123的子通道的数量相同。在流道一110中,使得由进口101进入第一分流通道111的制冷剂通过第一冷却通道112后再由子通道数相同的第一汇流通道113排出,避免流道一110中的压降;同样,在流道二120中,使得由进口101进入第二分流通道121的制冷剂通过第二冷却通道122后再由子通
道数相同的第二汇流通道123排出,同样可以避免流道二120中的压降。
直冷板10可以采用任意适合的方式进行构造,如图5及图6所示,在一些实施例中,直冷板10包括相互连接的板件一11和板件二12,其中,板件一11上设有朝远离板件二12方向凹陷的沟槽一11a和沟槽二11b,且沟槽一11a围设于沟槽二11b的外侧,板件二12与沟槽一11a和沟槽二11b围成流道一110和流道二120。需要说明的是,也可以同时在板件一11和板件二12形成形状相同的沟槽一11a和沟槽二11b,其中,沟槽一11a和沟槽二11b分别为流道一110和流道二120的部分结构,当板件一11和板件二12连接后,板件一11上的沟槽一11a与板件二12上的沟槽一11a共同围成流道一110,板件一11上的沟槽二11b与板件二12上的沟槽二11b共同围成流道二120。其中,板件一11和板件二12上的沟槽一11a的形状可以为流道一110的一半结构,即两个沟槽一11a完成镜像,例如,当流道一110为圆形时,两个沟槽一11a均为半圆形;板件一11和板件二12上的沟槽二11b的结构可以参考沟槽一11a,这里不再赘述。
沟槽一11a和沟槽二11b可以采用任意合适的方式进行构造,如图5所示,在本公开的一些实施例中,沟槽一11a和沟槽二11b采用冲压成型制得;其中板件一11和板件二12可以均为金属板,采用冲压工艺形成上述的沟槽一11a和沟槽二11b。需要说明的是,沟槽一11a和沟槽二11b也可以通过铸造一体成型,或者采用机械加工的方式以形成。
板件一11和板件二12可以采用任意合适的方式进行连接,在一些实施例中,板件一11和板件二12采用钎焊连接,具体的钎焊工艺可以参考相关技术中进行,这里不再赘述。
本公开提供了一种直冷板10,包括两个独立的换热流道100,以对应电池的不同区域换热的需求,区别于传统的冷却器,该直冷板10更加强调匹配电池不同区域的冷却或者加热需求,给与电池的电芯两端发热量大的区域更多的冷却量,以改善电池的温差。具有以下特点:
采用两个换热流道100,且每个换热流道100包括一个进口101和一个出口102的结构形式,每个进口101单独控制对应不同区域的换热流道100内的流量,通过对不同进口101流量策略的调整实现各区域间的冷却量分配。同时,采用两个换热流道100的布置方式,减小内部的压降,均衡制冷剂在流道内的蒸发温度,减小流道的沿程温差。
两个换热流道100采用温度控制区域独立设计的方式,将流道一110布置在电芯发热量大的区域,流道二120布置在电芯发热量小的区域,实现在不同流道中制冷剂的换热量不同,进而减小电池的温差。
直冷板10采用一体式冲压钎焊设计,对独立流道进行集成设计,空间利用率高。
本公开相对于相关技术,在热管理效果上,区分了不同区域的热负荷差异,有利于管理电池的温差,解决电池体内发热不均匀问题。在设计性上,具有更加灵活的调节手段,采用至少包括两个换热流道的直冷板10具有更快的响应速度,可以更好更精确的控制电池的温差。该直冷板10具有极好的几何灵活性,不用可以为了某一细小部位进行热管理的二次设计。该直冷板10能够降低摩擦沿程阻力,具优秀的节能属性。
本公开第二方面,还提供了一种换热器1,该换热器1包括上述的直冷板10,因此,该换热器1也具备上述直冷板10的所有优点,这里不再赘述。
其中,当多个换热流道的进口101和出口102设于直冷板10的同一侧时,换热器1还包括接头200,接头200上设有多个与每个换热流道100的进口101和出口102一一对应且连通的连接通道,能够简化换热器与空调系统的连接结构,提高连接效率,节省空间占用。
本公开第三方面,还提供了一种动力电池包1000,包括动力电池300,该动力电池包1000还包括上述的换热器1,换热器1贴合于动力电池300,用于动力电池300的冷却和/或加热。需要说明的是,换热器1贴合于动力电池300可以理解为换热器1直接贴合于动力电池300,也可以理解为两者之间设置导热胶,换热器1通过导热胶设于动力电池300。
其中,动力电池300可以为刀片电池,也即长薄形电池,其沿着一个方向依次堆叠,尤其是搭载了大功率充电情况下,电池两端的位置A会产生大量的热量,导致整个电池两侧温度过高。换热器1接收空调制冷系统中,这时候,与两端对应的流道一110开始以最大的功率开始通入制冷剂,使之电池两端温度降低,降低两端的热量积累;等到电芯的中部位置B温度慢慢升上来,再开始分一部分压缩机功率给中间区域,缓缓通入制冷剂,根据中间部位温度的变化调节制冷剂的通入量。
如图9所示,本公开第四方面,还提供一种车辆2000,该车辆2000包括本公开第三方面所述的动力电池包1000,因此,该车辆2000也具备上述动力电池包1000的所有优点,这里不再赘述。
以上结合附图详细描述了本公开的优选实施方式,但是,本公开并不限于上述实施方式中的具体细节,在本公开的技术构思范围内,可以对本公开的技术方案进行多种简单变型,这些简单变型均属于本公开的保护范围。
另外需要说明的是,在上述具体实施方式中所描述的各个具体技术特征,在不矛盾的情况下,可以通过任何合适的方式进行组合,为了避免不必要的重复,本公开对各种可能的组合方式不再另行说明。
此外,本公开的各种不同的实施方式之间也可以进行任意组合,只要其不违背本公开的思想,其同样应当视为本公开所公开的内容。
