具体实施方式
正如背景技术中所述,相关技术中,动力电池包通常采用底部液冷的方式,对电芯进行散热。具体的,是在电池模组(多个电芯封装形成的模组)或无封装的电芯的底部设置液冷板,通过对电芯的底部进行冷却,以对电芯进行散热。
然而,随着动力电池包的技术发展及用户的需求提高,动力电池包对快充性能要求越来越高。采用传统的底部液冷方式,对电芯的冷却速度较慢、冷却效果较差,无法满足快充对电芯的散热需求。同时,当动力电池包工作在低温工况下时,电芯的温度较低,会影响电芯的充电性能,导致动力电池包无法实现快充功能。
另外,随着无模组结构(区别于电池模组,各电芯直接安装在箱体内)的应用,电芯和箱体之间越来越多的采用粘接方式连接。相关技术中的液冷方式,也不便于电芯的拆解。
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种动力电池包,动力电池包包括多个电芯组和多个液冷板。每个电芯组包括多个电芯,电芯组中的各电芯沿自身平面方向依次排列,且各电芯组沿电芯的厚度方向依次排列。各液冷板沿电芯组的延伸方向延伸,且每个液冷板至少对应一个电芯组,以通过液冷板对电芯组进行冷却。其中,液冷板通过设置相连的侧板部和底板部,使侧板部与电芯组的侧表面贴合,底板部与电芯组的底端面贴合。并且,侧板部至少作为冷却部对电芯组进行冷却,底板部至少作为加热部对电芯组进行加热。这样,液冷板可以实现对电芯组进行冷却和加热,且液冷板的侧板部与电芯组的接触面积大,对电芯组的冷却效果好,可以增强动力电池包的温度调节能力,提升动力电池包的快充性能。并且,电芯组和液冷板拆解方便,便于动力电池包的维修更换。
为使本申请实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有做出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其他实施例,都属于本申请保护的范围。
图1为本申请实施例提供的动力电池包的结构示意图。图2为图1中的动力电池包的分解结构图。图3为本申请实施例提供的电芯模块总成的结构示意图。
参照图1和图2所示,本申请实施例提供一种动力电池包10,动力电池包10可以应用在新能源汽车中,例如,动力电池包10应用在纯电动汽车或混动汽车中。或者,动力电池包10也可以应用在太阳能/风能电能储能系统、电网/电力电源系统、基站电池电源、电动机器人等其他领域中。
具体的,动力电池包10包括箱体100、若干电芯210及多个液冷板300,箱体100为动力电池包10的基础支撑结构,该若干电芯210和该多个液冷板300均设置在箱体100内,以组装成为动力电池包10整体。
该若干电芯210为动力电池包10的核心部件,电芯210用于实现动力电池包10的充放电。电芯210的充电过程是将电能转化为化学能,以将能量进行储存。电芯210的放电过程是将化学能转化为电能,以向用电设备提供电流。
该若干电芯210可以分别与该多个液冷板300贴合,液冷板300可以和电芯210之间进行热交换。该多个液冷板300用于对该若干电芯210进行冷却或加热,以将电芯210维持在适宜的工作温度下。进而,保证电芯210的工作性能,保证动力电池包10的稳定性和可靠性。
可以理解的是,图1和图2中的动力电池包10,为了展示动力电池包10的内部结构,而仅示出了箱体100的部分结构。例如,图中示出了箱体100的主壳体110,箱体100还可以包括箱盖(图中未示出),箱盖盖设在主壳体110顶部的开口上,箱盖与主壳体110共同组成箱体100。箱盖和主壳体110共同围成密封的容纳腔,该若干电芯210及该多个液冷板300设置在容纳腔内。
参照图2或图3所示,该若干电芯210以电芯组200的方式排列在箱体100内。或者说,箱体100内可以设置有多个电芯组200,该多个电芯组200依次排列,每个电芯组200包括依次排列的多个电芯210。该多个液冷板300与该多个电芯组200对应设置,液冷板300可以沿电芯组200的延伸方向延伸,每个液冷板300至少对应一个电芯组200,以通过该多个液冷板300对该多个电芯组200进行冷却或加热。
各电芯组200与对应的液冷板300相连接,每个液冷板300和与之连接的电芯组200连接形成整体。为便于说明,本实施例将一个液冷板300和与之连接的电芯组200构成的整体模块,定义为电芯模块10b。将所有电芯组200和所述液冷板300组成的整体,或者说,将依次排列的各电芯模块10b组成的整体,定义为电芯模块总成10a。
其中,电芯模块总成10a中的各电芯210可以立设在箱体100内,或者说,各电芯组200可以立设在箱体100内。例如,各电芯组200可以垂直于箱体100的内底壁。每个电芯组200中,各电芯210可以沿电芯210自身的平面方向依次排列。各电芯组200可以沿电芯210自身的厚度方向依次排列。
通过将电芯210垂直立设在箱体100内,且将该若干电芯210以电芯组200的方式排列,该若干电芯210呈阵列式架构排列在箱体100内。这样,该若干电芯210整体占据的空间较小,且该若干电芯210的排布密度较大,有利于减小动力电池包10的体积,增大动力电池包10的容量,提升动力电池包10的快充性能。
示例性的,参照图3所示,当电芯210垂直立设在箱体100内时,各电芯组200的排列方向(图中的X方向)可以对应电芯210的厚度方向,或者说,各电芯组200沿电芯210的厚度方向依次排列。每个电芯组200中,各电芯210可以沿自身的长度方向(图中所示的Y方向)排列,或者说,电芯组200可以沿着电芯210的长度方向延伸。电芯组200的高度方向(图中所示的Z方向)即为单个电芯210的高度方向,电芯组200的高度方向也可以认为是电芯210的宽度方向。
通过将每个电芯组200中的各电芯210沿电芯210自身的长度方向排布,电芯组200的高度方向对应电芯210的宽度方向,可以使电芯组200维持较小高度。这样,在保证电芯模块10b具有较大排布密度、电芯模块10b的容量较大的基础上,电芯模块10b的高度较小,可降低动力电池包10的高度,有利于动力电池包10的轻薄化。
参照图2所示,动力电池包10还可以包括进液管400和出液管500,各液冷板300上均设置有进液口311和出液口312。液冷板300上的进液口311和出液口312均与液冷板300的内部连通,且各液冷板300的进液口311均与进液管400连通,各液冷板300的出液口312均与出液管500连通。液体从进液管400经液冷板300上的进液口311进入液冷板300内,在液冷板300内循环后,再经液冷板300的出液口312流出至出液管500,最终由出液管500排出。
示例性的,进液管400可以包括进液总管410和多个进液支管420,各进液支管420均连接在进液总管410上,各进液支管420与各液冷板300的进液口311连通,各液冷板300通过对应进液支管420与进液总管410连通。与进液管400类似的,出液管500可以包括出液总管510和多个出液支管520,各出液支管520均连接在出液总管510上,各出液支管520与各液冷板300的出液口312连通,各液冷板300通过对应出液支管520与出液总管510连通。
其中,进液管400的各进液支管420与各液冷板300上的进液口311可拆卸连接,出液管500的各出液支管520与液冷板300上的出液口312可拆卸连接。例如,进液管400的各进液支管420与各液冷板300上的进液口311通过快速接头连接,出液管500的各出液支管520与各液冷板300上的出液口312通过快速接头连接。这样,可以在不拆解电芯组200或液冷板300的情况下,实现进液管400及出液管500与液冷板300的快速、无损拆解,便于动力电池包10的组装与拆卸,降低动力电池包10的维修更换成本。
图4为本申请实施例提供的电芯模块的结构示意图。图5为图4中的电芯模块的分解结构图。图6为本申请实施例提供的液冷板的结构示意图。
参照图4和图5所示,对于单个电芯模块10b而言,为了便于液冷板300与进液管400和出液管500连接,沿电芯组200的延伸方向,液冷板300的至少一端可以伸出电芯组200的端部之外。为便于说明,本实施例将液冷板300(在电芯组200的延伸方向上)伸出至电芯组200之外的部分,定义为液冷板300的伸出端。
液冷板300上的进液口311和出液口312,可以设置在液冷板300的伸出端。液冷板300的伸出端不会被电芯组200遮挡,可以留出足够的空间来设置进液口311和出液口312。并且,由于液冷板300的伸出端在电芯组200的延伸方向的端部之外,在电芯组200的高度方向上,无需为液冷板300设计凸出部分来设置进液口311和出液口312。这样,电芯模块10b的整体高度较小,且结构更加规则,可以使箱体100的结构设计更加简单,有利于动力电池包10的小型化。
结合图4和图5所示,在一些示例中,在电芯组200的延伸方向上,液冷板300的两端可以分别伸出电芯组200的两端之外。此时,液冷板300的长度方向的两端均为伸出端,可以将进液口311设置在液冷板300的一端伸出端,将出液口312设置在液冷板300的另一端伸出端。与之相应的,可以将进液管400和出液管500分别设置在各电芯组200的延伸方向的两侧,换言之,进液管400和出液管500分别位于电芯模块总成10a的相对两侧。进液管400与各液冷板300的进液口311对应并连通,出液管500与各液冷板300的出液口312对应并连通。
如此设置,液体由液冷板300的一端进入,由液冷板300的该端流动至液冷板300的另一端,并从液冷板300的另一端流出。液冷板300内的液体流路设计合理,可保证液体的压力和流速的均衡性。并且,进液管400和出液管500分别位于电芯模块总成10a的相对两侧,箱体100内的布局更加合理,对称性更好,有利于提升动力电池包10的平衡性和可靠性。
当然,在另一些示例中,在电芯组200的延伸方向上,液冷板300可以仅有一端伸出至电芯组200的端部之外。此时,液冷板300的长度方向的一端为伸出端,进液口311和出液口312均可以设置在液冷板300的该端。与之相应的,进液管400和出液管500可以位于电芯组200的延伸方向的同一侧,换言之,进液管400和出液管500位于电芯模块总成10a的同一侧。
参照图5和图6所示,本实施例中,液冷板300包括侧板部310和底板部320,侧板部310和底板部320相连接。示例性的,侧板部310和底板部320可以为一体成型结构,换言之,液冷板300的主体结构可以为一体成型件。或者,侧板部310和底板部320可以分别单独成型,且两者通过焊接、粘接或螺栓、螺钉等锁紧件连接。
其中,液冷板300的侧板部310与电芯组200的侧表面贴合,电芯组200的侧表面即为电芯组200面向(或背向)相邻电芯组200的表面。换言之,液冷板300的侧板部310与电芯组200朝向(或背向)相邻电芯组200的表面贴合。液冷板300的底板部320可以位于电芯组200的底端面与箱体100的内底壁之间,且液冷板300的底板部320与电芯组200的底端面贴合。
至于液冷板300与电芯组200的连接,液冷板300的侧板部310及底板部320均可以与电芯组200粘接。也就是说,电芯组200的侧表面可以与液冷板300的侧板部310粘接,电芯组200的底端面可以与液冷板300的底板部320粘接,以实现电芯组200与液冷板300的连接,将液冷板300和与之对应的电芯组200连接在一起,共同组成电芯模块10b。
本实施例中,液冷板300的侧板部310至少作为冷却部,液冷板300的底板部320至少作为加热部。换言之,液冷板300的侧板部310至少用于冷却电芯组200中的各电芯210,以降低电芯210的温度。液冷板300的底板部320至少用于加热电芯组200中的各电芯210,以升高电芯210的温度。
在动力电池包10的工作过程中,当电芯210的功率较高、发热量较大时,可以至少利用液冷板300的侧板部310对电芯210进行冷却,以降低电芯210的温度,增强电芯210的散热性能,保证电芯210工作性能的稳定性和可靠性。当电芯210工作在低温工况下时,可以至少利用液冷板300的底板部320队电芯210进行加热,以升高电芯210的温度,使电芯210工作在适宜温度下,确保电芯210可实现快充功能。
由于电芯组200中的各电芯210均立设在箱体100内,电芯210的侧表面为其表面积最大的表面。因而,通过将液冷板300的侧板部310至少作为冷却部,液冷板300的侧板部310与电芯210的侧表面之间的接触面积大,热交换效率高、效果好,可以有效增强电芯210的散热性能,降低电芯210的温度,保证电芯210的工作性能,提升动力电池包10的快充性能的稳定性和可靠性。
而相较于电芯210的温度过高带来的严峻考验,电芯210在低温工况下面临的问题较为轻微,电芯210在低温工况下时对温度升高幅度的要求较小。对此,通过将液冷板300的底板部320至少作为加热部,液冷板300的底板部320产生的热量由电芯210的底端面传递给电芯210,以升高电芯210的温度,使电芯210维持在适宜工作温度下,保证动力电池包10的快充性能。
另外,当电芯组200采用粘接方式与液冷板300连接时,通过将液冷板300的底板部320至少作为加热部,加热部产生的热量作用于电芯组200与液冷板300之间的胶层,容易使胶层熔化,减小电芯组200与液冷板300之间的粘结力。从而,易于电芯组200与液冷板300之间的拆解。或者说,便于单个电芯模块10b的拆解,便于电信模块总成的拆解。
其中,分离电芯组200的侧表面从液冷板300的侧板部310分离时,电芯组200的侧表面与液冷板300的侧板部310之间的胶层受到剪切力,剪切力的作用使得电芯组200的侧表面容易与液冷板300的侧板部310分离。因此,当液冷板300仅有底板部320作为加热部时,电芯组200也能较容易地从液冷板300上拆解下来。当然,若液冷板300的底板部320和侧板部310同时作为加热部,则电芯组200可更轻松地从液冷板300上拆解下来。
另外,为了便于液冷板300和电芯组200的分离,参照图5或图6,液冷板300上还可以预留有拆解结构313,拆解结构313例如设置在液冷板300的侧板部310上。拆解部为液冷板300上用于供吊装操作或撬装操作的结构,以利用拆解结构313提拉液冷板300,实现液冷板300与电芯组200的分离。例如,拆解结构313可以为液冷板300的侧板部310上设置的拆解孔,吊装工具或撬装工具可以穿设在拆解孔内,以对液冷板300施加作用力。
继续参照图5或图6,由于液冷板300的侧板部310至少作为冷却部,因此,液冷板300上的进液口311和出液口312可以设置在侧板部310上,以使冷却液可由侧板部310上的进液口311进入,并从侧板部310上的出液口312流出。这样,冷却液至少可在液冷板300的侧板部310内流动,以实现侧板部310作为冷却部的功能,通过侧板部310内的冷却液带走电芯210的热量。
以进液管400和出液管500分别位于电芯组200的相对两侧为例,液冷板300中至少侧板部310的长度方向的两端可以伸出至电芯组200的两端之外,进液口311和出液口312可以分别设置在侧板部310两端的伸出端。各液冷板300的侧板部310上的进液口311均与进液管400连通,各液冷板300的侧板部310上的出液口312均与出液管500连通。
参照图6所示,在一些实施方式中,一个液冷板300可以实现同时对相邻两个电芯组200冷却或加热。对此,可以对液冷板300的底板部320设计较大的宽度,液冷板300的侧板部310可以连接在底板部320的中间部位。具体的,液冷板300的底板部320可以包括左板部321和右板部322,侧板部310可以连接在左板部321和右板部322之间,液冷板300可以呈倒“T”型结构。
此时,与液冷板300对应的相邻两个电芯组200,分别位于液冷板300的侧板部310的两侧,该相邻两个电芯组200分别与液冷板300的侧板部310的两侧板面贴合,具体是该两个电芯组200相对的侧表面分别贴合在侧板部310的两侧板面。同时,该相邻两个电芯组200中,一个电芯组200的底端面贴合在液冷板300底板部320中的左板部321上,另一电芯组200的底端面贴合在液冷板300底板部320中的右板部322上。
通过一个液冷板300同时对相邻两个电芯组200冷却或加热,提高了液冷板300的利用率,可以减少电芯模块总成10a中设置的液冷板300的数量,降低电芯模块总成10a的生产成本。并且,单个液冷板300仅需设计一个侧板部310,液冷板300的体积较小,可以减小电芯模块总成10a中所有液冷板300占据的空间。进而,减小电芯模块总成10a的体积,有利于动力电池包10的小型化设计。
另外,由于液冷板300的侧板部310夹设在相邻两个电芯组200之间,对于整个电芯模块总成10a而言,相邻两个液冷板300的侧板部310之间设有两个电芯组200(参见图3所示)。这样,每相邻两个液冷板300的侧板部310的伸出端之间的空间较大,便于将进液管400(或出液管500)的进液支管420(或出液支管520)容置在该空间内。从而,电芯模块总成10a的布局更合理,便于进液管400(或出液管500)与各液冷板300上的进液口311(或出液口312)的连接。
在另一些实施方式中,液冷板300与电芯组200可以一一对应设置,一个液冷板300用于为一个电芯组200冷却或加热。对此,可以对液冷板300的底板部320设计较小的宽度,底板部320的宽度可以与电芯组200的底端面的宽度相匹配。具体的,液冷板300的侧板部310可以连接在底板部320的一侧,或者说,液冷板300的底板部320连接在侧板部310的单侧,液冷板300可以呈正(或反)“L”型结构。
此时,与液冷板300对应的电芯组200,位于液冷板300的侧板部310的一侧,且该电芯组200位于液冷板300的底板部320所在的一侧。电芯组200的侧表面贴合在液冷板300的侧板部310上,电芯组200的底端面贴合在液冷板300的底板部320上,液冷板300和对应的电芯组200共同组成电芯模块10b。
通过一个液冷板300为一个电芯组200冷却或加热,液冷板300与电芯组200之间充分热交换,可以提升液冷板300与电芯组200之间的热交换效率,提高电芯组200的散热效率(或加热效率),提升电芯组200的工作性能。并且,由于液冷板300与电芯组200为一对一的组装关系,便于电芯模块10b的组装与拆卸,可以提升电芯模块10b的装拆效率。
图7为本申请实施例提供的液冷板的内部剖视图。参照图7所示,至于液冷板300的加热部的设计方式,作为一种实施方式,液冷板300的侧板部310的内部和底板部320的内部可以不连通。此时,液冷板300仅在其侧板部310内形成液冷腔,冷却液仅在液冷板300的侧板部310内流动。而液冷板300的底板部320内则可以设置加热件3201。也就是说,液冷板300的侧板部310作为冷却部,而液冷板300的底板部320则作为加热部。
其中,液冷板300的侧板部310的内部可以间隔设置有多个隔板314,该多个隔板314可以沿侧板部310的高度方向间隔设置。此时,沿液冷板300的侧板部310的高度方向,侧板部310内分隔出多个小腔体,该多个小腔体可以依次连通。这样,可以防止冷却液受重力影响而仅流过侧板部310的底部,可以使冷却液均匀的流过侧板部310高度方向的各区域。以保证液冷板300的侧板部310对电芯组200的散热效果,提高电芯组200的温度均匀性,保证电芯组200工作的可靠性和稳定性。
当动力电池包10正常工作时,动力电池包10内部正常供电,以为各液冷板300底板部320内设置的加热件3201提供电流。示例性的,可以对各液冷板300底板部320的加热件3201的电流进行独立控制,以独立控制各液冷板300的加热温度。进而,可以根据各电芯模块10b所需的热量,控制各液冷板300的加热温度,以满足各电芯模块10b的温度需求。
当拆除动力电池包10时,电芯模块10b从箱体100内移出,液冷板300与主壳体110的内底壁分离。此时,可以通过外接电源,为各液冷板300供电,以使各液冷板300可以正常为各电芯组200加热。示例性的,各液冷板300底板部320内设置的加热件3201可以分别与外接电源电连接,以使各液冷板300独立进行加热工作。
继续参照图7,当液冷板300的侧板部310连接在底板部320中间、底板部320包括左板部321和右板部322时,左板部321和右板部322内可以分别设置有加热件3201。其中,当液冷板300与箱体100分离时,单个液冷板300的左板部321和右板部322可以共同电连接一个外接电源,单个液冷板300的左板部321和右板部322可以保持相同加热温度。或者,单个液冷板300的左板部321和右板部322也可以分别与外接电源电连接,可以实现对单个液冷板300的左板部321和右板部322的加热温度进行单独控制。
示例性的,液冷板300的底板部320内设置的加热件3201可以为加热丝或PTC(positive temperature coefficient,正温度系数)加热器。
作为另一种实施方式,液冷板300的侧板部310的内部和底板部320的内部可以相互连通。此时,液冷板300的侧板部310和底板部320共同形成一个液体腔,液体可在侧板部310和底板部320内循环流动。换言之,液冷板300的侧板部310和底板部320可以共同作为冷却部或加热部,利用液体与电芯组200的热交换,对电芯组200进行冷却或加热。
当需要对电芯组200进行冷却时,液冷板300的侧板部310和底板部320同时作为冷却部,液冷板300内流动的是温度较低的冷却液。当需要对电芯组200进行加热时,液冷板300的侧板部310和底板部320同时作为加热部,液冷板300内流动的是温度较高的加热液。
具体的,当需要对电芯组200进行冷却时,可以利用液冷板300的侧板部310上的进液口311,向侧板部310内送入冷却液,冷却液在侧板部310和底板部320内流动循环后,再从侧板部310上的出液口312流出,以对电芯组200进行冷却。当需要对电芯组200进行加热时,可以利用液冷板300的侧板部310上的进液口311,向侧板部310内送入加热液,加热液在侧板部310和底板部320内流动循环后,再从侧板部310上的出液口312流出,以对电芯组200进行加热。
