DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following will describe technical solutions of embodiments of the disclosure clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings in embodiments of the disclosure. Apparently, embodiments described herein are merely some embodiments, rather than all embodiments, of the disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort shall fall within the protection scope of the disclosure.

Since energy required by people has strong temporal and spatial characteristics, in order to use energy in a reasonable manner and improve energy utilization, a medium or a device is required to store energy in the same energy form or in another energy form converted and then to release energy in a specific energy form based on requirements of future applications. As is well-known, in order to achieve the big goal for carbon neutrality, the main way of generating green electrical energy is currently to develop green energy such as photovoltaics and wind power to replace fossil energy. At present, generation of green electrical energy is generally dependent on photovoltaics, wind power, water potential, and the like. However, in general, wind energy, solar energy, and the like are strongly intermittent and volatile, resulting in an unstable power grid, insufficient power supply at a power consumption peak, and overmuch power supply at a power consumption valley. In addition, an unstable voltage may further damage electric power. Therefore, “abandoned wind and abandoned light” may occur due to insufficient power demand or insufficient power-grid admitting ability, and energy storage is required to solve these problems. That is, electrical energy is stored by converting it into other forms of energy by physical or chemical means, and energy is released by converting it into electrical energy when needed. In brief, energy storage is similar to a large “power bank”, which stores electrical energy when photovoltaics and wind energy are sufficient and releases stored electric power when needed.

An energy-storage apparatus is provided in the disclosure. A group of chemical batteries is disposed in the energy-storage apparatus. Chemical elements in the chemical batteries can be mainly used as an energy-storage medium, and a charging/discharging process goes with chemical reaction or change of the energy-storage medium. In brief, electrical energy generated by wind energy and solar energy is stored in the chemical batteries. When the usage of external electrical energy reaches a peak, the power stored is released for use or is transferred to a place where the power is scarce for reuse.

The energy-storage apparatus provided in the disclosure can be applied to a wide range of scenarios, including (wind and light) power-generation-side energy storage, grid-side energy storage, base-station-side energy storage, user-side energy storage, and other aspects. The energy-storage apparatus is usually used in forms of an energy-storage container, a small and medium-sized energy-storage cabinet, a small-sized household energy-storage container, and the like. Devices such as the energy-storage container, the small and medium-sized energy-storage cabinet, and the small-sized household energy-storage container include the energy-storage apparatus.

It may be noted that, the above devices including the energy-storage apparatus, such as the energy-storage container, the small and medium-sized energy-storage cabinet, and the small-sized household energy-storage container, can be understood as an electricity-consumption device 2000.

The energy-storage apparatus 1000 may be implemented as multiple energy-storage apparatuses. The multiple energy-storage apparatuses 1000 are connected to each other in series or in parallel. In the embodiment, “multiple” refers to two or more.

It may be understood that, the energy-storage apparatus 1000 may include, but is not limited to, a battery cell, a cell module, a battery pack, a battery system, or the like. A practical application form of the energy-storage apparatus 1000 provided in embodiments of the disclosure may be, but is not limited to, the listed product, and may further be other application forms. The application form of the energy-storage apparatus 1000 is not strictly limited in embodiments of the disclosure. In embodiments of the disclosure, for example, the energy-storage apparatus 1000 is merely a multi-cell battery.

However, local deformation and even fracture due to stress concentration easily occur at a bend, so that a cooling medium in the heat-dissipating plate is difficult to pass through the bend of the heat-dissipating plate, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat-dissipating plate is affected. A heat-dissipating member, an energy-storage apparatus, and an electricity-consumption device are provided in the disclosure, which can improve the structural strength of a bend of the heat-dissipating member and avoid local deformation or fracture of the heat-dissipating member after being bent.

As illustrated in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the energy-storage apparatus 1000 includes a box body 300, a cell module 200, and a heat-dissipating member 100. The box body 300 includes a cover case 310 and a bottom case 320. The bottom case 320 defines a liquid inlet through-hole 321 and a liquid outlet through-hole 322. The cell module 200 and the heat-dissipating member 100 each are fixed to the bottom case 320. The cover case 310 covers the cell module 200 and the heat-dissipating member 100 and is fixedly connected to the bottom case 320, so as to enclose the cell module 200 and the heat-dissipating member 100 in the box body 300.

For ease of illustration, a length direction of the heat-dissipating member 100 illustrated in FIG. 2 is defined as an X-axis direction, a width direction of the heat-dissipating member 100 is defined as a Y-axis direction, and a height direction of the heat-dissipating member 100 is defined as a Z-axis direction, where every two of the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction are perpendicular to each other. Directional terms such as “on”, “under”, and the like referred to in description of embodiments of the disclosure are described according to locations illustrated in FIG. 2. A direction towards a positive direction of Z-axis is “on”, and a direction towards a negative direction of Z-axis is “under”, which do not constitute limitation to the heat-dissipating member 100 in a practical application scenario. “Same”, “equal”, or “parallel” used below means that some allowable error may exist.

In this embodiment, the cell module 200 includes multiple cells 210, multiple connection sheets 220, and a fixing portion 230. The multiple cells 210 are divided into four cell groups A. The cells 210 of each cell group A are numerically equal and are sequentially arranged in a length direction of the cell module 200 (X-axis direction). The four cell groups A are arranged side by side in a width direction of the cell module 200 (Y-axis direction). The multiple connection sheets 220 are configured to connect the multiple cells 210 to one another. The fixing portion 230 is disposed on an outer periphery of the four cell groups A and is configured to tightly connect the four cell groups A, so that the four cell groups A are connected to form an integrated structure. Specifically, the fixing portion 230 is a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) strap. In other embodiments, the multiple cells 210 may also be divided into one, two, or more cell groups A. The fixing portion 230 may also be a fixing plate. This is specifically determined based on actual usage requirements, and the disclosure is not limited in this regard.

In the width direction of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, the first reinforcing rib 251, the second reinforcing rib 252, and the third reinforcing rib 253 are spaced apart sequentially. The second reinforcing rib 252 is positioned in the middle of the harmonica-shaped tube 20. The first reinforcing rib 251 and the third reinforcing rib 253 are positioned at two opposite sides of the second reinforcing rib 252 respectively, and are each spaced apart from the second reinforcing rib 252.

Specifically, in this embodiment, a thickness of the first wall 21 of the harmonica-shaped tube 20 is II, a thickness of the second wall 22 of the harmonica-shaped tube 20 is 1) 2, a thickness of the third wall 23 of the harmonica-shaped tube 20 is D3, and a thickness of the fourth wall 24 of the harmonica-shaped tube 20 is D4. A thickness of the first reinforcing rib 251 is D5, a thickness of the second reinforcing rib 252 is D6, and a thickness of the third reinforcing rib 253 is D7. In the width direction of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, a distance between one surface of the first wall 21 and one surface of the second wall 22 positioned facing away from the one surface of the first wall 21 is L1, that is, a width of the harmonica-shaped tube 20 is L1. In the thickness direction of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, a distance between one surface of the third wall 23 and one surface of the fourth wall 24 positioned facing away from the one surface of the third wall 23 is 1.2, that is, a thickness of the harmonica-shaped tube 20 is 1.2.

In this embodiment, the harmonica-shaped tube 20 is implemented as four harmonica-shaped tubes. Two harmonica-shaped tubes 20 are disposed inside each transition section 13. The two harmonica-shaped tubes 20 are positioned in the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel inside each transition section 13, respectively. The first wall 21 and the second wall 22 of each of the two harmonica-shaped tubes 20 are positioned facing towards each other in a height direction of the heat-dissipating member 100 (Z-axis direction). The third wall 23 and the fourth wall 24 of each of the two harmonica-shaped tubes 20 are connected between the first wall 21 and the second wall 22, and are positioned facing towards each other in a thickness direction of the heat-dissipating member 100. Two of the four harmonica-shaped tubes 20 are positioned inside the first transition section 131. Specifically, one of the two harmonica-shaped tubes 20 is positioned in the liquid inlet channel inside the first transition section 131, and the flow channel cavity 26 of this harmonica-shaped tube 20 is in communication with the liquid inlet channel. The other one of the two harmonica-shaped tubes 20 is positioned in the liquid outlet channel inside the first transition section 131, and the flow channel cavity 26 of this harmonica-shaped tube 20 is in communication with the liquid outlet channel. The other two of the four harmonica-shaped tubes 20 are positioned inside the second transition section 132. Specifically, one of the other two harmonica-shaped tubes 20 is positioned in the liquid inlet channel inside the second transition section 132, and the flow channel cavity 26 of this harmonica-shaped tube 20 is in communication with the liquid inlet channel. The other one of the other two harmonica-shaped tubes 20 is positioned in the liquid outlet channel inside the second transition section 132, and the flow channel cavity 26 of this harmonica-shaped tube 20 is in communication with the liquid outlet channel.

In the disclosure, with the arrangement of the harmonica-shaped tubes 20 at the joint between the first heat-dissipating portion 12 and the second heat-dissipating portion 13, the structural strength of the heat-dissipating portion 10 at the joint between the first heat-dissipating portion 12 and the second heat-dissipating portion 13 can be strengthened. In this way, when being formed by bending, the transition section 13 between the first heat-dissipating portion 12 and the second heat-dissipating portion 13 will not be easily broken. With limitation on the dimensional relationship between the heat-dissipating portion and the harmonica-shaped tube 20, the heat-dissipating portion and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can satisfy strength requirements. Therefore, when the heat-dissipating portion and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 are bent, the transition section 13 of the heat-dissipating portion 10 or the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be prevented from local deformation or fracture caused by excessive stress concentration on the transition section 13 or the harmonica-shaped tube 20.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, a flow path of a cooling medium in the heat-dissipating member 100 is: the liquid inlet tube 30→the liquid inlet 113→the first liquid inlet channel 111A→two harmonica-shaped tubes 20→the two second liquid inlet channels 121A→the two second liquid outlet channels 121B→the other two harmonica-shaped tubes 20→the first liquid outlet channel 111B→the liquid outlet 114→the liquid outlet tube 40.

It may be understood that, with the arrangement of the harmonica-shaped tubes 20 at the joint between the first heat-dissipating portion 11 and each of the two second heat-dissipating portions 12, the structural strength of the heat-dissipating portion 10 at the joint between the first heat-dissipating portion 11 and each of the two second heat-dissipating portions 12 can be strengthened. That is, the structural strength of the heat-dissipating portion 10 where the two transition sections 13 are positioned can be strengthened, so that the first transition section 131 or the second transition section 132 will not be easily broken when being formed by bending.

A tensile strength of the first heat-dissipating portion 11 is greater than or equal to 130 megapascal (MPa), a yield strength of the first heat-dissipating portion 11 is less than or equal to 57.6 MPa, and an elongation at break of the first heat-dissipating portion 11 is greater than or equal to 30.6%. A tensile strength of the second heat-dissipating portion 12 is greater than or equal to 130 MPa, a yield strength of the second heat-dissipating portion 12 is less than or equal to 57.6 MPa, and an elongation at break of the second heat-dissipating portion 12 is greater than or equal to 30.6%. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first heat-dissipating portion 11 has a tensile strength of 130 MPa, a yield strength of 57.6 MPa, and an elongation at break of 30.6%. The second heat-dissipating portion 12 has a tensile strength of 130 MPa, a yield strength of 57.6 MPa, and an elongation at break of 30.6%. The harmonica-shaped tube 20 has a tensile strength of 121.8 MPa, a yield strength of 61.3 MPa, and an elongation at break of 36.2%.

In this embodiment, the transition section 13 is formed by bending at the joint between the first heat-dissipating portion 11 and each of the at least one second heat-dissipating portion 12. In order to ensure that the transition section 13 and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 inside the transition section 13 are uniformly bent and do not suffer from fracture, impacts of relationships among multiple dimensions of the heat-dissipating portion 10 and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 on the mechanical performance of the heat-dissipating member 100 are simulated. The multiple dimensions include: the thickness D of each of the first heat-dissipating plate 111, the second heat-dissipating plate 112, the third heat-dissipating plate 121, and the fourth heat-dissipating plate 122, the width L1 of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, the thickness L2 of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, the thickness D1 of the first wall 21, the thickness D2 of the second wall 22, the thickness D3 of the third wall 23, the thickness D4 of the fourth wall 24, the thickness D5 of the first reinforcing rib 251, the thickness D6 of the second reinforcing rib 252, and the thickness D7 of the third reinforcing rib 253.

Simulation is made on the mechanical performance of the heat-dissipating member 100 provided in an embodiment of the disclosure. Specifically, simulation conditions are as follows. Change a value of one dimensional relationship. Control other dimensions to obtain an optimal value. Bend each of the at least one second heat-dissipating portion 12 relative to the first heat-dissipating portion 11 to define an included angle of 90 degrees (a certain process tolerance is allowed). Obtain a stress value and a plastic strain value of the transition section 13 formed by bending the heat-dissipating portion 10, and a stress value and a plastic strain value of the harmonica-shaped tube 20.

It may be noted that, before the mechanical performance of the heat-dissipating member 100 is simulated, optimal values of L1, L2, D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and D7 are obtained through multiple tests. When L1, L2, D0, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and D7 are 20 mm, 3.2 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.47 mm, and 0.5 mm respectively, the transition section 13 formed by bending the heat-dissipating portion 10 has a minimum stress value and a minimum plastic strain value, and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 has a minimum stress value and a minimum plastic strain value. Specifically, the transition section 13 of the heat-dissipating portion 10 has a stress value of 90 MPa and a plastic strain value of 10%; and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 has a stress value of 92 MPa and a plastic strain value of 15%.

As can be seen from the simulation results of the mechanical performance of the heat-dissipating member 100 provided in an embodiment of the disclosure, on condition that DO, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and D7 are 0.8 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.47 mm, and 0.5 mm respectively, when 5%<L2/L1<32%, the maximum stress of the transition section 13 formed by bending the heat-dissipating portion 10 is 125 MPa, which is less than the tensile strength 130 MPa of the heat-dissipating portion 10, and therefore, the heat-dissipating portion 10 can be bent uniformly under stress without local plastic deformation caused by stress concentration. In this case, the maximum plastic strain of the transition section 13 of the heat-dissipating portion 10 is 29%, which is less than the elongation at break 30.6% of the heat-dissipating portion 10, and therefore, the transition section 13 will not be broken under stress. The maximum stress of the bent harmonica-shaped tube 20 is 113 MPa, which is less than the tensile strength 121.8 MPa of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, and therefore, the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be bent uniformly under stress without local plastic deformation caused by stress concentration. The maximum plastic strain of the bent harmonica-shaped tube 20 is 33%, which is less than the elongation at break 36.2% of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, and therefore, the harmonica-shaped tube 20 will not be broken under stress. On condition that L1, D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and D7 are 20 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.47 mm, and 0.5 mm respectively, and 10%<D0/L2<40% is satisfied, the maximum stress of the transition section 13 formed by bending the heat-dissipating portion 10 is 124 MPa, which is less than the tensile strength 130 MPa of the heat-dissipating portion 10, and therefore, the heat-dissipating portion 10 can be bent uniformly under stress without local plastic deformation caused by stress concentration. In this case, the maximum plastic strain of the transition section 13 of the heat-dissipating portion 10 is 28%, which is less than the elongation at break 30.6% of the heat-dissipating portion 10, and therefore, the transition section 13 will not be broken under stress. The maximum stress of the bent harmonica-shaped tube 20 is 114 MPa, which is less than the tensile strength 121.8 MPa of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, and therefore, the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be bent uniformly under stress without local plastic deformation caused by stress concentration. The maximum plastic strain of the bent harmonica-shaped tube 20 is 31%, which is less than the elongation at break 36.2% of the harmonica-shaped tube 20, and therefore, the harmonica-shaped tube 20 will not be broken under stress. Accordingly, when 1.1, 1.2, D3, D4, D5, D6, and D7 each take an optimal value, and 40% D0<D1=D2<80% D0 is satisfied, the transition section 13 of the heat-dissipating portion 10 and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be bent uniformly without breakage. When 1.1, 12, D0, D2, D5, D6, and D7 each take an optimal value, and 60% D1<D3<D4≤90% D1 is satisfied, the transition section 13 of the heat-dissipating portion 10 and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be bent uniformly without breakage. When L1, 1.2, D0, D2, D3, D4, and D6 each take an optimal value, and 80% D1<D5-D7<90% D1 is satisfied, the transition section 13 of the heat-dissipating portion 10 and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be bent uniformly without breakage. When 1.1, 12, D0, D2, D3, D4, D5, and D7 each take an optimal value, and 60% D1<D6<80% D1 is satisfied, the transition section 13 of the heat-dissipating portion 10 and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be bent uniformly without breakage. In addition, as can be seen from the simulation effect view, on condition that the above relationships are satisfied, the multiple reinforcing ribs 25 of the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be bent without affecting the flow channel cavity 26.

It may be understood that, under bending stress, the heat-dissipating portion 10 and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 will not suffer from local plastic deformation due to stress concentration. Therefore, it can be ensured that the first liquid inlet channel 111A and the second liquid inlet channel 121A where the transition section 13 is positioned are in communication, and that the first liquid outlet channel 111B and the second liquid outlet channel 121B where the transition section 13 is positioned are in communication. In this case, flow cross-section areas of the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel can be ensured, thereby guaranteeing smooth flow of the cooling medium in the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel. In this way, the heat-dissipating portion 10 or the harmonica-shaped tube 20 can be prevented from local plastic deformation, so that the flow cross-section area of the liquid inlet channel or the flow cross-section area of the liquid outlet channel will not be reduced, thereby avoiding increasing the flow resistance of the cooling medium in the liquid inlet channel or the liquid outlet channel. In addition, both the heat-dissipating portion 10 and the harmonica-shaped tube 20 will not be broken under bending stress, thereby avoiding affecting the flow of the cooling medium in the liquid inlet channel or the liquid outlet channel.

In addition, in the harmonica-shaped tube 20, the thickness D5 of the first reinforcing rib 251 is equal to the thickness D7 of the third reinforcing rib 253, which can ensure that the strength of the first reinforcing rib 251 is equal to the strength of the third reinforcing rib 253. In this case, when the harmonica-shaped tube 20 is bent under stress, crushing towards the reinforcing rib 25 with the weaker strength due to unequal strength of the first reinforcing rib 251 or the third reinforcing rib 253 can be avoided. The thickness D6 of the second reinforcing rib 252 is less than the thickness D5 of the first reinforcing rib 251 and the thickness D7 of the third reinforcing rib 253, which can make the structural strength of the harmonica-shaped tube 20 in the middle relatively low and facilitate bending of the harmonica-shaped tube 20. Furthermore, the thickness D6 of the second reinforcing rib 252 is less than the thickness D5 of the first reinforcing rib 251 and the thickness D7 of the third reinforcing rib 253, which can also save material costs of the harmonica-shaped tube 20.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the heat-dissipating member 100 is connected to the cell module 200. Specifically, the first heat-dissipating portion 11 of the heat-dissipating member 100 is positioned at an end of the cell module 200 in the length direction of the cell module 200, and is attached to side surfaces of the four cell groups A simultaneously. Each of the two second heat-dissipating portions 12 of the heat-dissipating member 100 is positioned between one of two middle cell groups A and one of two outside cell groups A adjacent to the one of the two middle cell groups A. In addition, each of the two second heat-dissipating portions 12 is attached to surfaces of the cell groups A on two sides of the second heat-dissipating portion 12.

It may be noted that, in this embodiment, the at least one second heat-dissipating portion 12 is implemented as two second heat-dissipating portions. In other embodiments, the at least one second heat-dissipating portion 12 may also be implemented as one or more second heat-dissipating portions, as long as the second heat dissipating portion(s) 12 each is attached to surfaces of the cell group(s) A.

In this embodiment, the cell module 200 and the heat-dissipating member 100 are mounted in the box body 300. Specifically, the cell module 200 is fixed to the bottom case 320, and the heat-dissipating member 100 is fixed to the bottom case 320. The liquid inlet tube 30 of the heat-dissipating member 100 is in communication with the liquid inlet through-hole 321 of the bottom case 320, and the liquid outlet tube 40 of the heat-dissipating member 100 is in communication with the liquid outlet through-hole 322 of the bottom case 320. The cooling medium can be supplied to the heat-dissipating member 100 through the liquid inlet through-hole 321 of the bottom case 320, and the cooling medium can be discharged from the heat-dissipating member 100 through the liquid outlet through-hole 322 of the bottom case 320.

It may be noted that, the cooling medium flowing in the heat-dissipating member 100 includes, but is not limited to, cooling water, and may also be other media, which is specifically determined based on usage.
