技术领域Technical field
本实用新型涉及电动汽车技术领域,具体提供一种包括换热组件的电池装置及包括该电池装置的电动汽车。The utility model relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, and specifically provides a battery device including a heat exchange component and an electric vehicle including the battery device.
背景技术Background technique
电动汽车动力电池为锂离子电池,其中,圆柱形锂电池由于其自动化程度高、产品一致性好,价格相对较低所以在电动汽车上被大量采用。圆柱形锂电池的性能对温度变化较为敏感,其适宜工作温度范围为20℃~40℃。动力电池因为内阻等因素的存在,在充放电过程中不可避免的会产生大量热量,导致温度上升,而温度的上升会影响电池的诸多特性参数,比如内阻、电压、电量及电池寿命,尤其是内阻上升又会进一步提高电池的发热量,从而形成恶性循环。Electric vehicle power batteries are lithium-ion batteries. Among them, cylindrical lithium batteries are widely used in electric vehicles due to their high degree of automation, good product consistency, and relatively low price. The performance of cylindrical lithium batteries is relatively sensitive to temperature changes, and its suitable operating temperature range is 20°C ~ 40°C. Due to factors such as internal resistance, power batteries will inevitably generate a large amount of heat during the charging and discharging process, causing the temperature to rise. The rise in temperature will affect many characteristic parameters of the battery, such as internal resistance, voltage, power and battery life. In particular, the increase in internal resistance will further increase the heat generation of the battery, thus forming a vicious cycle.
为保证电池在任何工况下维持在合适的温度区间内,需要对电池(圆柱形锂电池)进行有效冷却。现有技术中电池(圆柱形锂电池)冷却方式包括风冷、液冷和直冷方案。其中,液冷方案为现阶段电池包热管理的主流方案,通常采用的液冷方式为铝质换热板,铝质换热板为蛇形或波浪形结构,铝质换热板的每个弧形段与一个电池(圆柱形锂电池)侧面接触,铝质换热板内部设置有多条冷媒通道,电池(圆柱形锂电池)的热量通过侧面散热传递至铝质换热板内的冷媒中,通过冷媒将热量带走,从而降低电池温度。In order to ensure that the battery is maintained within a suitable temperature range under any working conditions, the battery (cylindrical lithium battery) needs to be effectively cooled. In the existing technology, battery (cylindrical lithium battery) cooling methods include air cooling, liquid cooling and direct cooling solutions. Among them, the liquid cooling solution is the mainstream solution for battery pack thermal management at this stage. The commonly used liquid cooling method is an aluminum heat exchange plate. The aluminum heat exchange plate has a serpentine or corrugated structure. Each of the aluminum heat exchange plates The arc-shaped section is in side contact with a battery (cylindrical lithium battery). There are multiple refrigerant channels inside the aluminum heat exchange plate. The heat of the battery (cylindrical lithium battery) is transferred to the refrigerant in the aluminum heat exchange plate through side heat dissipation. , the heat is taken away by the refrigerant, thereby reducing the battery temperature.
目前设计的铝质换热板与冷媒管连接的部分设计并不合理,原因在于,铝质换热板中冷媒通道的进出口均位于铝质换热板的端面上,因此, 集流结构必然要安装在换热板的端面上,实现与冷媒管的连接,这就会导致集流结构和冷媒管会超出换热板的端面很长一部分,使整体占用空间较大,尤其是在组成电池组后,铝质换热板与冷媒管连接部分会延伸至整个电池部分的外部,从而使整体电池组空间占用率增加,提高了空间占用率。The current design of the connection between the aluminum heat exchange plate and the refrigerant pipe is not reasonable. The reason is that the inlet and outlet of the refrigerant channel in the aluminum heat exchange plate are located on the end face of the aluminum heat exchange plate. Therefore, The collecting structure must be installed on the end face of the heat exchange plate to achieve connection with the refrigerant pipe. This will cause the collecting structure and the refrigerant pipe to extend beyond the end face of the heat exchange plate, making the overall space occupied, especially After the battery pack is assembled, the connection part between the aluminum heat exchange plate and the refrigerant pipe will extend to the outside of the entire battery part, thereby increasing the space occupancy of the overall battery pack and improving the space occupancy rate.

如图1至图4所示的本实用新型的实施例,公开了一种包括换热组件的电池装置,该电池装置包括电池,换热组件包括换热板10和集流结构40,换热板10内设置有冷媒通道20(参见图3),换热板10的侧表面11设置有与冷媒通道20连通的冷媒口30,换热板10具有集流区域13 和用于与电池换热的换热区域12(参见图2),冷媒口30位于集流区域13内;其中,冷媒通道20包括进液通道21和出液通道22(参见图3和图4),冷媒口30包括冷媒进口31和冷媒出口32(参见图3和图4),冷媒进口31和冷媒出口32分别位于换热板10的不同侧;冷媒进口31、进液通道21、出液通道22和冷媒出口32依次连通,冷媒通过冷媒进口31进入进液通道21与电池交换热量后,再流经出液通道22后从冷媒出口32流出。需要说明的是,换热组件的作用是保证电池在工作过程中的温度处在适宜的工作温度范围内,当环境温度过高或电池工作温度过高时,换热组件主要起到冷却作用,使电池降温。而在环境温度过低而影响性能时,换热组件也可以起到加热作用,使电池可以正常工作。As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the embodiment of the present invention discloses a battery device including a heat exchange component. The battery device includes a battery. The heat exchange component includes a heat exchange plate 10 and a current collecting structure 40. The heat exchange component A refrigerant channel 20 is provided in the plate 10 (see FIG. 3 ), a refrigerant port 30 connected to the refrigerant channel 20 is provided on the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 , and the heat exchange plate 10 has a current collecting area 13 And a heat exchange area 12 for exchanging heat with the battery (see Figure 2), the refrigerant port 30 is located in the collecting area 13; wherein, the refrigerant channel 20 includes a liquid inlet channel 21 and a liquid outlet channel 22 (see Figures 3 and 4 ), the refrigerant port 30 includes a refrigerant inlet 31 and a refrigerant outlet 32 (see Figures 3 and 4). The refrigerant inlet 31 and the refrigerant outlet 32 are respectively located on different sides of the heat exchange plate 10; the refrigerant inlet 31, the liquid inlet channel 21, the liquid outlet The channel 22 and the refrigerant outlet 32 are connected in sequence. The refrigerant enters the liquid inlet channel 21 through the refrigerant inlet 31 to exchange heat with the battery, then flows through the liquid outlet channel 22 and then flows out from the refrigerant outlet 32. It should be noted that the role of the heat exchange component is to ensure that the temperature of the battery is within the appropriate operating temperature range during operation. When the ambient temperature is too high or the battery operating temperature is too high, the heat exchange component mainly plays a cooling role. Allow the battery to cool down. When the ambient temperature is too low and affects performance, the heat exchange component can also play a heating role so that the battery can work normally.
集流结构40用于与冷媒管连接,如图2所示,集流结构40设置在换热板10的集流区域13,集流结构40包括分别扣设在换热板10上的第一集流罩40a和第二集流罩40b,第一集流罩40a与冷媒进口31位于换热板10的同一侧,第一集流罩40a的安装位置与冷媒进口31的位置相对应,如图3和图4所示,第一集流罩40a与换热板10围成第一集流腔51,冷媒进口31与第一集流腔51连通;第二集流罩40b与冷媒出口32位于换热板10的同一侧,第二集流罩40b的安装位置与冷媒出口32的位置相对应,第二集流罩40b与换热板10围成第二集流腔52,冷媒出口32与第二集流腔52连通。The current collecting structure 40 is used to connect with the refrigerant pipe. As shown in FIG. 2 , the current collecting structure 40 is arranged in the current collecting area 13 of the heat exchange plate 10 . The current collecting structure 40 includes a first pipe buckled on the heat exchange plate 10 respectively. The first header 40a and the second header 40b are located on the same side of the heat exchange plate 10 as the refrigerant inlet 31. The installation position of the first header 40a corresponds to the position of the refrigerant inlet 31, such as As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first manifold 40a and the heat exchange plate 10 form a first manifold 51, and the refrigerant inlet 31 is connected to the first manifold 51; the second manifold 40b and the refrigerant outlet 32 Located on the same side of the heat exchange plate 10, the installation position of the second header 40b corresponds to the position of the refrigerant outlet 32. The second header 40b and the heat exchange plate 10 form a second header chamber 52, and the refrigerant outlet 32 It is connected with the second manifold 52 .
使用时,外部冷媒管路中的冷媒进入第一集流腔51后,通过冷媒进口31进入进液通道21中,并与电池交换热量,换热后的冷媒再依次通过出液通道22、冷媒出口32进入第二集流腔52中,最后回到外部的冷媒管路中。本实用新型的换热组件将冷媒口30设置在换热板10的侧表面11上,而集流结构40的安装位置与冷媒口30的位置相对应,因此,集流结构40也是安装在换热板10的侧表面11上的,与现有技术中将冷媒口30设置在换热板10的端面14上的方式相比,集流结构40由于不必安装在换热板10的端面14上,可以减少甚至避免超出换热板10的端部,从而缩短了换热组件在换热板10长度方向上的尺寸,减少空间占用率。When in use, the refrigerant in the external refrigerant pipeline enters the first manifold 51, enters the liquid inlet channel 21 through the refrigerant inlet 31, and exchanges heat with the battery. The heat-exchanged refrigerant then passes through the liquid outlet channel 22 and the refrigerant in sequence. The outlet 32 enters the second manifold 52 and finally returns to the external refrigerant pipeline. The heat exchange assembly of the present invention arranges the refrigerant port 30 on the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10, and the installation position of the current collecting structure 40 corresponds to the position of the refrigerant port 30. Therefore, the current collecting structure 40 is also installed on the heat exchanger. On the side surface 11 of the hot plate 10, compared with the prior art method of arranging the refrigerant port 30 on the end face 14 of the heat exchange plate 10, the current collecting structure 40 does not need to be installed on the end face 14 of the heat exchange plate 10. , can reduce or even avoid exceeding the end of the heat exchange plate 10, thereby shortening the size of the heat exchange component in the length direction of the heat exchange plate 10 and reducing the space occupation rate.
需要说明的是,在本实施例中,冷媒进口31虽然和冷媒出口32分 别位于换热板10的不同侧,但是,这并不是限制性的,在图中未示出的一些其他实施例中,冷媒进口31和冷媒出口32也可以位于换热板10的同一侧,相应的,第一集流罩40a和第二集流罩40b也可以位于换热板10的同一侧,只要是冷媒口30设置在换热板10的侧表面11,集流结构40的安装位置与冷媒口30的位置相对应,均位于本实用新型的保护范围之内。It should be noted that in this embodiment, although the refrigerant inlet 31 is separated from the refrigerant outlet 32 They are located on different sides of the heat exchange plate 10, but this is not limiting. In some other embodiments not shown in the figure, the refrigerant inlet 31 and the refrigerant outlet 32 can also be located on the same side of the heat exchange plate 10. Correspondingly, the first collecting cover 40a and the second collecting cover 40b can also be located on the same side of the heat exchange plate 10, as long as the refrigerant port 30 is provided on the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10, and the installation position of the collecting structure 40 is Corresponding to the position of the refrigerant port 30, they are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
可以理解的是,在本实施例中,集流结构40在形式上为集流罩,采用集流罩的方式,集流罩的成型工艺相对简单,而且方便安装。在数量上是两个,即第一集流罩40a和第二集流罩40b。但是,这些都不是限制性的。在形式上,集流结构40也可以是具有集流腔50的管状结构。也就是说,只要集流结构40与换热板10的侧表面11围成集流腔50,并使集流腔50与冷媒口30连通,均在本实用新型的保护范围之内。而在数量上,集流结构40可以是多个独立的结构,例如:第一集流罩40a、第二集流罩40b。也可以是一个整体结构,例如:在图中未示出的另一实施例中,当冷媒进口31与冷媒出口32分位于换热板10的两侧时,集流结构40是一种环形套结构,而环形套分别与换热板10的两侧形成独立的第一集流腔51和第二集流腔52,并分别与冷媒进口31和冷媒出口32连通。在图中未示出的一些其他实施例中,当冷媒进口31与冷媒出口32位于换热板10的同一侧时,集流结构40可以是一个更大的集流罩,通过隔板将内部分隔为两个独立的第一集流腔51和第二集流腔52,并分别与冷媒进口31和冷媒出口32连通,也是可行的。It can be understood that in this embodiment, the current collecting structure 40 is in the form of a collecting cover, and the forming process of the collecting cover is relatively simple and easy to install. There are two in number, namely the first flow collecting cover 40a and the second collecting cover 40b. However, these are not restrictive. Formally, the manifold structure 40 may also be a tubular structure having a manifold 50 . That is to say, as long as the manifold structure 40 and the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 form a manifold 50 and the manifold 50 is connected to the refrigerant port 30, it is within the protection scope of the present invention. In terms of quantity, the current collecting structure 40 may be a plurality of independent structures, such as a first collecting cover 40a and a second collecting cover 40b. It can also be an integral structure. For example: in another embodiment not shown in the figure, when the refrigerant inlet 31 and the refrigerant outlet 32 are located on both sides of the heat exchange plate 10, the current collecting structure 40 is an annular sleeve. structure, and the annular sleeves form independent first manifolds 51 and second manifolds 52 on both sides of the heat exchange plate 10 respectively, and are connected to the refrigerant inlet 31 and the refrigerant outlet 32 respectively. In some other embodiments not shown in the figure, when the refrigerant inlet 31 and the refrigerant outlet 32 are located on the same side of the heat exchange plate 10, the collecting structure 40 can be a larger collecting hood, with the internal parts separated by partitions. It is also feasible to separate the first manifold 51 and the second manifold 52 into two independent ones and communicate with the refrigerant inlet 31 and the refrigerant outlet 32 respectively.
在本实施例中,集流罩上设置有用于与冷媒管连接的接头,接头41的轴线方向与和换热板10的侧表面11相交。如图2至图4所示,第一集流罩40a上设置有第一接头41a,第二集流罩40b上设置有第二接头41b,第一接头41a用于与冷媒进管连接,第二接头41b用于与冷媒出管连接,由于第一集流罩40a和第二集流罩40b是设置在换热板10的侧表面11上的,而第一接头41a和第二接头41b各自的轴线与侧表面11相交的,也就是说,第一接头41a的朝向与换热板10端部的朝向是不同的,同理,第二接头41b的朝向与换热板10端部的朝向也是不同的,因此,可以使与接头41连接的冷媒管的朝向也与换热板10的端部朝向不同, 从而减少空间的占用率。优选地,第一接头41a的轴线与换热板10的端部朝向垂直,第二接头41b的轴线也与换热板10的端部朝向垂直,从而使空间占用率最小。In this embodiment, the header is provided with a joint for connecting to the refrigerant pipe, and the axial direction of the joint 41 intersects with the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 . As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the first header 40a is provided with a first joint 41a, and the second header 40b is provided with a second joint 41b. The first joint 41a is used to connect to the refrigerant inlet pipe. The two joints 41b are used to connect to the refrigerant outlet pipe. Since the first header 40a and the second header 40b are disposed on the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10, the first joint 41a and the second joint 41b are respectively The axis intersects the side surface 11, that is to say, the orientation of the first joint 41a is different from the orientation of the end of the heat exchange plate 10. Similarly, the orientation of the second joint 41b is different from the orientation of the end of the heat exchange plate 10. are also different, therefore, the direction of the refrigerant pipe connected to the joint 41 can also be different from the direction of the end of the heat exchange plate 10, Thereby reducing space occupancy. Preferably, the axis of the first joint 41a is perpendicular to the end direction of the heat exchange plate 10, and the axis of the second joint 41b is also perpendicular to the end direction of the heat exchange plate 10, thereby minimizing space occupation.
进一步地,如图2至图4所示,集流罩的外周上设置有连接折边42,集流罩通过连接折边42与换热板10连接。为了方便与换热板10的连接,第一集流罩40a和第二集流罩40b的外周上设置有连接折边42,通过连接折边42实现与换热板10的连接,其中连接的方式可以使粘接、焊接。另外,为了防止冷媒泄漏,第一集流罩40a和第二集流罩40b与换热板10之间密封设置。Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 , a connecting flange 42 is provided on the outer periphery of the collecting cover, and the collecting cover is connected to the heat exchange plate 10 through the connecting flanging 42 . In order to facilitate the connection with the heat exchange plate 10, a connecting flange 42 is provided on the outer periphery of the first collecting cover 40a and the second collecting cover 40b, and the connection with the heat exchange plate 10 is realized through the connecting flange 42, wherein the connecting flange 42 is connected to the heat exchange plate 10. The method can be bonding or welding. In addition, in order to prevent the refrigerant from leaking, the first and second headers 40a, 40b and the heat exchange plate 10 are sealed.
如图1和图2所示,在换热区域12内,换热板10的侧表面11为波浪状;在集流区域13内,换热板10的侧表面11为平面。通过设置换热区域12和集流区域13,可以针对不同形状的电池对换热板10的换热区域12进行进一步优化,从而提高换热效率。以圆柱形锂电池为例,为了更加贴合圆柱形锂电池的侧面,将换热区域12内的换热板10的侧表面11设置为波浪形,可以提高换热板10与圆柱形锂电池的接触面积,从而提高换热效率。而由于集流区域13需要安装集流罩,因此,要保证集流区域13的平整性,从而使集流罩的接连更加方便和可靠。As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the heat exchange area 12, the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 is wavy; in the current collection area 13, the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 is flat. By arranging the heat exchange area 12 and the current collecting area 13, the heat exchange area 12 of the heat exchange plate 10 can be further optimized for batteries of different shapes, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. Taking the cylindrical lithium battery as an example, in order to better fit the side surface of the cylindrical lithium battery, the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 in the heat exchange area 12 is set to be wavy, which can improve the connection between the heat exchange plate 10 and the cylindrical lithium battery. contact area, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency. Since the current collecting area 13 needs to be installed with a collecting cover, the flatness of the collecting area 13 must be ensured, thereby making the connection of the collecting cover more convenient and reliable.
需要说明的是,在本实施例中,在换热区域12内,换热板10的侧表面11为波浪状;在集流区域13内,换热板10的侧表面11为平面,但是这并不是限制性的。在图未示出的一些其他实施例中,也可以是,在换热区域12内,换热板10的侧表面11为波浪状,或者在集流区域13内,换热板10的侧表面11为平面,也属于本实用新型的保护范围之内。It should be noted that in this embodiment, in the heat exchange area 12, the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 is wavy; in the current collecting area 13, the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 is flat, but this It's not restrictive. In some other embodiments not shown in the figure, it is also possible that in the heat exchange area 12, the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 is wavy, or in the current collecting area 13, the side surface of the heat exchange plate 10 11 is a plane, which also falls within the protection scope of the present utility model.
优选地,如图1和图2所示,集流区域13位于换热板10的端部位置处。也就是说,冷媒口30的开设位置是位于换热板10的端部位置处,需要说明的是,这里的端部位置处,并不是指换热板10的端面14,冷媒口30依然开设在换热板10的侧表面11上,同时,靠近换热板10的一端,这样的好处是在方便冷媒口30的开设。因为换热板10时通过金属挤压成型的,在成型后,由于工艺原因,换热板10的两端的端面14上会先形成冷媒通道20的开口,然后在换热板10的侧表面11再开设冷媒口30,而开设冷媒口30过程中,产生的碎屑会掉到冷媒通道20中,不 好取出,而通过将冷媒口30开设在靠近端部位置处设,在加工冷媒口30时,碎屑可以通过冷媒通道20的开口掉出,从而保证冷媒通道20内的畅通。在将冷媒口30开设后,可以将靠近冷媒口30一端的换热板10端面14封死,而换热板10的另一端可以汇流结构,使冷媒通道20中的进液通道21和出液通道22的另一端在汇流结构中连通,从而完成冷媒口30和冷媒通道20的连通。Preferably, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the current collecting area 13 is located at the end of the heat exchange plate 10 . In other words, the refrigerant port 30 is located at the end of the heat exchange plate 10. It should be noted that the end position here does not refer to the end surface 14 of the heat exchange plate 10. The refrigerant port 30 is still open. On the side surface 11 of the heat exchange plate 10 and at the same time, close to one end of the heat exchange plate 10, this has the advantage of facilitating the opening of the refrigerant port 30. Because the heat exchange plate 10 is formed by metal extrusion, after the molding, due to process reasons, the openings of the refrigerant channels 20 will first be formed on the end surfaces 14 of both ends of the heat exchange plate 10, and then the openings of the refrigerant channels 20 will be formed on the side surfaces 11 of the heat exchange plate 10. Then open the refrigerant port 30. During the process of opening the refrigerant port 30, the debris generated will fall into the refrigerant channel 20.
