或长方形等。
本实施例通过集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213与集流体组件20中的另一个集流体21的第一端部212过盈连接,能够实现集流体组件20中的两个集流体21直接装配,减少使用转接管,省去插接转接管的工序,降低集流体组件20装配的复杂度,降低成本;此外,集流体组件20中的两个集流体21直接装配,能够减少连接管与两个集流体之间的连接点,降低集流体组件20失效的风险。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第二端部213的横截面面积小于第一端部212的横截面面积,以使集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213位于集流体组件20中的另一个集流体21的第一端部212内。
第二端部213的横截面是指在第二端部213中,与第二端部213的延伸方向垂直的平面所截得的截面;第一端部212的横截面是指在第一端部212中,与第一端部212的延伸方向垂直的平面所截得的截面。
其中,第二端部213的横截面面积小于第一端部212的横截面面积,且第二端部213的横截面面积大于第一端部212的第一通孔的面积,以将一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一通孔内,实现集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213位于集流体组件20中的另一个集流体21的第一端部212内。
本实施例通过设置第二端部213的横截面面积小于第一端部212的横截面面积,便于集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212内,降低集流体组件20装配的复杂度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一端部212和第二端部213均呈扁管状。
扁管是指具有扁平形状的管道,即第一端部212的形状和第二端部213的形状均呈扁平形状,以使第一端部212的第一通孔的形状和第二端部213的第二通孔的形状均呈扁平形状。
假设第一端部212的第一通孔的形状和第二端部213的第二通孔的形状均为圆形,需要增加流经第一通孔和第二通孔的冷却液的流量,则需要增加第一通孔和第二通孔的直径。而本实施例的第一端部212和第二端部213均呈扁管状,假设需要增加流经第一通孔和第二通孔的冷却液的流量,则增加第一端部212的高度和第二端部213的高度,能够降低集流体21所占用的空间。
本实施例的第一端部212和第二端部213均呈扁管状,能够增加第一端部212的横截面面积和第二端部213的横截面面积,降低集流体21所占用的空间。

第二端部213的延伸方向是指,第二端部213往远离主体部211的方向。第二端部213的横截面面积沿第二端部213的延伸方向变小,可以为第二端部213的横截面面积沿第二端部213的延伸方向逐渐变小;例如第二端部213为锥形体,第二端部213靠近主体部211的横截面面积大于第二端部213远离主体部211的横截面面积。
以第二端部213的横截面面积沿第二端部213的延伸方向逐渐变小为例,第二端部213远离主体部211的横截面面积较小,便于第二端部213装配至另一个集流体21的第一端部212。位于另一个集流体21的第一端部212内的第二端部213的横截面面积逐渐增大,能够实现集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213与另一个集流体21的第一端部212过盈连接,提高第二端部213与另一个集流体21的第一端部212之间的密封性。此外,由于第二端部213的横截面面积沿第二端部213的延伸方向逐渐变小,因此第二端部213的外表面为倾斜面,具有导向作用,进一步方便于第二端部213装配至另一个集流体21的第一端部212。
本实施例通过第二端部213的横截面面积沿第二端部213的延伸方向变小,能够实现集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213与另一个集流体21的第一端部212过盈连接,提高第二端部213和第一端212部之间的密封性;此外,第二端部213的横截面面积沿第二端部213的延伸方向逐渐变小,以使第二端部213的外表面倾斜设置,以具有导向作用。

可选地,第一密封件22包括但不限于密封圈,第一密封件22套设于第二端部213上。在其他实施例中,第一密封件22和第二端部213可以一体成型。
本实施例通过在第二端部213上设置第一密封件22,在集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212内的情况下,第一密封件22位于第二端部213和第一端部212之间,用于密封第二端部213和第一端部212之间间隙,提高集流体组件20的密封性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,每个集流体21还包括两个第一密封件22,两个第一密封件22沿第二端部213的延伸方向间隔设置于第二端部213上。
其中,两个第一密封件22间隔设置于第二端部213的外表面,在一个集流体21的第二端部213与另一个集流体21的第一端部212过盈连接的情况下,两个第一密封件22位于一个集流体21的第二端部213与另一个集流体21的第一端部212之间,两个第一密封件22用于密封一个集流体21的第二端部213与另一个集流体21的第一端部212之间的间隙,进一步提高集流体组件20的密封性。
本实施例的两个第一密封件22间隔设置于第二端部213上,通过两个第一密封件22密封一个集流体21的第二端部213与另一个集流体21的第一端部212之间间隙,进一步提高集流体组件20的密封性,提高集流体组件20的质量。
根据本申请的一些实施例,每个集流体21还包括第一导向部214,第一端部212的一端连接主体部211,第一端部212的另一端连接第一导向部214。
其中,第一导向部214用于引导一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在第一端部212内,即第一导向部214具有导向作用。
本实施例在第一端部212的另一端设置有第一导向部214,第一导向部214用于引导集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在集流体21的第一端部212内,提高集流体组件20的装配效率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一导向部214的横截面面积沿第一端部212的延伸方向变大。
其中,第一端部212的延伸方向是指第一端部212往远离主体部211的方向。
第一导向部214的横截面面积沿第一端部212的延伸方向变大,即第一导向部214的横截面面往远离主体部211的方向上逐渐变大。例如,第一导向部214呈喇叭状,即第一导向部214远离主体部211的一端的横截面面积较大,利于引导集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212内。此外,一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212的过程
中,由于装配工具的尺寸公差和/或集流体21的尺寸公差导致出现装配公差,而第一导向部214远离主体部211的一端的横截面面积较大,能够吸收一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212之间的装配公差。
本实施例的第一导向部214的横截面面积沿第一端部212的延伸方向变大,第一导向部214远离主体部212的一端的横截面面积较大,利于引导集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212内。

本实施例的第二密封件23设置于第一端部212的内侧壁,集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212内,即第二密封件23位于第一端部212和第二端部213之间,用于密封一个集流体21的第二端部213和另一个集流体21的第一端部212之间的间隙,提高集流体组件20的密封性。
请参见图7-8所示,图7为本申请的集流体组件的第三实施例的结构示意图;图8为图7所示集流体的第三实施例的结构示意图。本实施例的集流体组件20包括多个集流体21,每个集流体21包括主体部211、第一端部212和第二端部213,第一端部212和第二端部213位于主体部211的相对两侧,集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213与集流体组件20中的另一个集流体21的第一端部212过盈连接。
本实施例的集流体组件20与图5所揭示的集流体组件20不同之处在于:每个集流体21还包括第一导向部214,第一端部212的一端连接主体部211,第一端部212的另一端连接第一导向部214。
其中,第一导向部214用于引导一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在第一端部212内,即第一导向部214具有导向作用。
本实施例在第一端部212的另一端设置有第一导向部214,第一导向部214用于引导集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在集流体21的第一端部212内,提高集流体组件20的装配效率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一导向部214的横截面面积沿第一端部212的延伸方向变大。
第一导向部214的横截面面积沿第一端部212的延伸方向变大,即第一导向部214的横截面面往远离主体部211的方向上逐渐变大。例如,第一导向部214呈喇叭状,即第一导向部214远离主体部211的一端的横截面面积较大,利于引导集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212内。此外,一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212的过程中,由于装配工具的尺寸公差和/或集流体21的尺寸公差导致出现装配公差,而第一导向部214远离主体部211的一端的横截面面积较大,能够吸收一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212之间的装配公差。
本实施例的第一导向部214的横截面面积沿第一端部212的延伸方向变大,第一导向部214远离主体部212的一端的横截面面积较大,利于引导集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212内。
根据本申请的一些实施例,每个集流体21还包括第二密封件23,第二密封件23设置于第一导向部214的内侧壁。
可选地,集流体组件20中的一个集流体21的第二端部213装配在另一个集流体21的第一端部212内,即第二密封件23位于第一导向部214和第二端部213之间,用于密封一个集流体21的第二端部213和另一个集流体21的第一导向部214之间的间隙,提高集流体组件20的密封性。
可选地,第二密封件23的材料包括但不限于软胶或密封圈,软胶是指塑料通过注塑形成,即在第一导向部214的内侧壁设置塑料通过注塑形成,以在第一导向部
214的内侧壁形成第二密封件23。

本实施例的液冷系统包括多个液冷板31和集流体组件20,集流体组件20中的集流体21设置于液冷板31的一端,以使主体部211的第一集流通道与冷却通道连通,进而液冷板31通过集流体组件20实现传输冷却液体。
根据本申请的一些实施例,集流体21的第一端部212和第二端部213具有第二集流通道,第二集流通道和第一集流通道连通。
其中,第一端部212的第一通孔和第二端部213的第二通孔连通,以形成第一端部212和第二端部213的第二集流通道,第二集流通道和第一集流通道连通。
可选地,冷却液体在第一集流通道的流动方向与冷却液体在第二集流通道的流动方向垂直。
可选地,液冷系统还包括进水管32和出水管33,进水管32与两个集流体组件20中的一个集流体组件20连接,例如进水管32与一个集流体组件20中的集流体21的第一端部212或第二端部213连通。出水管33与两个集流体组件20中的另一个集流体组件20连接,例如出水管33与另一个集流体组件20中的集流体21的第一端部212或第二端部213连通。

假设需要增加第一端部212的横截面面积和第二端部213的横截面面积,则第一端部212和第二端部213在液冷板31的高度方向H上进行增加,无需增加第一端部212和第二端部213在液冷板31的长度方向L和宽度方向D上所占用的空间,因此能够减少集流体21占用电池101的空间,提高电池101的能量密度。
