Description

Novel phase change cooling and heating integrated structure of power battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a power battery thermal management system for an electric automobile, in particular to a novel phase-change cooling and heating integrated structure of a power battery.
Technical Field
With the increasing energy crisis and environmental pollution, new energy automobiles replace traditional engine automobiles and become the necessary trend of the development of automobile industry in all countries of the world nowadays. More importantly, in the development of various new energy automobile technologies and products at present, the electric automobile is already the main force army for future development. And lithium ion batteries are regarded as ideal power sources of electric automobiles by virtue of their excellent performances. During use of lithium ion batteries, heat build-up and temperature increases can accelerate decay of battery life. In addition, the battery module may fail prematurely due to battery charge and over-discharge phenomena, which may cause inconsistent capacities among the battery cells. The ideal working temperature interval of the current main flow power battery is 20-50 ℃, the temperature gradient in the battery pack is required to be controlled to be as low as 5 ℃ as possible, but the power battery thermal management system on the market is difficult to match and increasingly improve the energy density of the power battery pack. Therefore, the development of a thermal management system for the power battery pack of the electric automobile is urgent, and the development of a safe and reliable thermal management system for adjusting the working temperature of the power battery reduces the temperature difference of the battery cells in the power battery pack, so that the development of the electric automobile is a challenge which cannot be spanned on the road.
Through exploration and practice for several years, the current high-energy-density electric automobile power battery thermal management system is focused on liquid cooling and phase change materials gradually. The liquid cooling and heating management system uses a cold carrier liquid to flow on the surface of the power battery module, and takes away heat generated in the battery module by utilizing the high heat capacity characteristic of the cold carrier liquid. However, since the liquid is directly contacted with the battery pack, there is a risk of short circuiting the battery due to leakage of the liquid. Meanwhile, compared with an air cooling heat management system, the liquid cooling heat management system is complex, equipment is heavy, and manufacturing cost is high. Phase change materials are also a technical means currently under development to be able to be used for thermal management of power battery packs. The PCM and the heat pipe 2 types can be largely classified. The former uses the phase change latent heat of the solid-liquid phase change process, and the latter uses the working medium to generate quick phase change in the heat pipe, and the working medium is circularly reciprocated, thereby realizing heat conduction. PCM type phase change material thermal management systems lose heat absorbing capacity after the material is completely melted. Meanwhile, the controllability is poor. In order to obtain more ideal heat management performance, the active development of a heat pipe phase change material heat management system is a promising technical route. However, the conventional heat pipes, such as copper water heat pipes, and aluminum flat heat pipes are difficult to be directly applied in the cylindrical power battery module.

The control unit 9 further makes a judgment according to the received temperature signal, and once the condition of implementing the control strategy is reached, relevant equipment is regulated and controlled, such as the circulating water flow and the temperature in the heat exchange copper flat tube 5 are changed, or the input current of the heating film 7 is changed, so that the temperature of the power battery module is controlled within a certain range.
In one embodiment, during winter, when the electric automobile is cold started, the temperature sensor 8 detects the temperature of the power battery module, and if the temperature is lower than 10 ℃, the control unit 9 controls the bottom end heat exchange copper flat tube 5 and the heating film 7 of the power battery module clamp to jointly act to supply hot water at about 30 ℃. The evaporating end of the expansion type aluminum soaking flat plate 4 placed at the bottom of the power battery module is heated, the working medium is boiled vigorously, gas is generated to float upwards and diffuse to the periphery rapidly, and the gas is condensed again at the condensing end and returns to the evaporating end along the supporting plate part, so that continuous phase change circulation is formed, the temperature of the whole condensing end face is increased uniformly, the liquid phase stored in the expansion section where the bottom of the soaking plate inserted into the module is contacted with the soaking flat plate is boiled greatly, the gas generated by phase change is diffused upwards under the action of local pressure, the first expansion section 2-1 and the second expansion section 3-1 of the contact part of the soaking plate and the power battery are at the condensing end at the moment, the low-temperature battery exchanges heat with the gas phase in the pipe through the contacted soaking plate wall surface, and the gas phase working medium is condensed and returns to the evaporating end along the first straight line section 2-2 and the second straight line section 3-2 wall surface, so that the working medium phase change circulation is completed, and heat transmission is continuously carried out. Because the phase change circulation continuously occurs, the gas phase fills the internal cavity of most of the soaking plate, the maximum temperature gradient of the wall surface of the condensing section part of the whole soaking plate is generally not more than 5 ℃, and each cylindrical battery contacted with the soaking plate can be considered to directly exchange heat with a cold source with approximately consistent temperature, thereby realizing the control target of small temperature difference between batteries at different positions in the whole module. When the temperature is lower than 0 ℃, an external power supply is used for starting the heating film 7, so that the circulation and the temperature of water in the heat exchange copper flat tube 5 are ensured. When the temperature sensor 8 detects that the temperature of the battery in the module reaches 10 ℃, the control unit 9 instructs the heating film 7 to stop working, and meanwhile, the control unit 9 gives out a signal to enable the battery module to start working. At this time, the battery module gradually increases in temperature to a normal working interval under the action of hot water supplied and self-heat release. In this embodiment, when the battery module is in a high-power charge-discharge working condition, the internal resistance of the battery itself and the chemical reaction occurring in the charging process will cause the temperature to rise. If the temperature sensor 8 detects that the temperature exceeds 35 ℃, the control unit 9 sends out a signal to increase the flow of cooling water distributed to the battery module and reduce the temperature of the cooling water, the cooling water enters the heat exchange copper flat tube 5 at the top of the power battery module, the heat exchange copper flat tube 5 at the top of the power battery module exchanges heat with the attached expansion type aluminum soaking flat plate 4, an expanded cold source is formed through the temperature equalizing effect of the soaking flat plate, cold quantity is continuously provided for the double-sided expansion type aluminum soaking plate 2 and the single-sided expansion type aluminum soaking plate 3 inserted into the module, at the moment, after the liquid phase working medium at the part of the expansion section which is originally in contact with the battery cells in the module is heated and gasified and ascends to the first heat conduction plane 2-3 and the second heat conduction plane 3-3 at the top, the liquid phase is condensed again when the liquid phase is encountered, the tube wall of the first straight line section 2-2 and the second straight line section 3-2 returns to the expansion section, at the moment, each expansion section on the soaking flat plate is the evaporation end, and the top expansion section is the condensation end. And the heat generated in the charging process of the power battery is greatly absorbed in the phase change process of the working medium, so that the battery module is controlled to be kept within a temperature range of 20-50 ℃. Along with the end of the charging condition, the control unit 9 regulates and controls the temperature and flow of the cooling water distributed to the battery module again, and the working temperature of the battery module is always kept in an ideal temperature interval. The heating film 7 does not take part in the operation during the whole cooling process.
In this embodiment, under different working conditions, the double-sided inflatable aluminum vapor chamber 2 and the single-sided inflatable aluminum vapor chamber 3 in the module are involved in the heating process of providing heat to the power battery module and the heat dissipation process of transferring the heat in the power battery module to the outside. Therefore, the top and bottom ends of each vapor chamber respectively serve as a condensing end and an evaporating end under different working conditions, and the corresponding pipe sections with the middle contacted with the cylindrical surface of the battery are respectively used as an evaporating section and a condensing section of the vapor chamber. The vapor chamber only depends on gravity and pressure gradient generated during evaporation to complete phase change circulation of the working medium, so that the evaporation end is always below the condensation end.
In one embodiment, the control unit is used for controlling the heat exchange liquid supply system to only feed cooling liquid into the heat exchange copper flat tube 5 positioned at the top end when radiating heat, so as to maintain the temperature of the battery module not to rise any more; when heating, only the heating liquid is introduced into the bottom heat exchange copper flat tube 5, and the preheating of the vehicle battery module is carried out under the lower temperature working condition.
In another embodiment, the control unit is used for controlling the heat exchange liquid supply system to simultaneously supply cooling liquid to the heat exchange copper flat tubes 5 positioned at the top end and the bottom end during heat dissipation, so as to improve the cooling effect of the battery module; during heating, heating liquid is introduced and the heating film 7 is started to heat, so that the heating time is shortened, and the rapid cold start of the battery module is realized.
