The invention relates to a high-temperature battery, which consists of a number of cylindrical cells arranged in rows, a cooled support plate between two rows of cells and an enclosure, wherein the support plate in its outer contour recesses for the cells, at least one internal cooling channel and connections for a liquid Cooling circuit has.
Such a battery is known from EP 514 840, wherein the cells are capacitors. There, the cooling channel is made in the interior of the support plate either by drilling the channels and milling the connection channels at the end faces, or by inserting a tube into a mold and encapsulation or encapsulation of the tube. Both production methods are complex, but without ensuring a sufficiently uniform temperature distribution at the cell-contacting surface of the recesses. The latter, because the wall thicknesses between the cooling channel and the recesses are widely different from each other. Maintaining an optimal operating temperature and uniform temperature distribution are, however, very important for the performance and service life of a high-temperature battery.
It is therefore an object of the invention to form a generic battery so that it is as simple and inexpensive to produce with variable arrangement of the cells and ensures the most uniform possible temperature distribution for all cells. According to the invention this is achieved in that the support plate is an extrusion of light metal, whose profile has in its interior through partitions separate, extending in the longitudinal direction of the extruded channels, wherein the liquid flows in adjacent channels in opposite directions, and wherein the carrier plate forming Extruded profile is closed at its two end faces of a cover plate.
Thus, the known per se production of profiles by extrusion is used to form a plurality of parallel cooling channels with a substantially constant wall thickness with respect to the surface of the recesses and adjacent cooling channels with opposite flow direction. This achieves a more uniform temperature distribution in every direction. The end plates, which are naturally open on both sides of the extruded section, form connections for the cooling fluid, so that the extruded section itself is used with a minimum of machining.
In addition, extruded profiles, because they can be cut to any length, in this application have the advantage that in a recess, a different number of cells can be arranged one behind the other. As a result, the installation dimensions of a battery can be adapted to the respective available installation space. This also makes it possible to close the extruded profile forming the support plate at its two end faces with a uniform cover plate corresponding to the profile.
The connection between the channels can be created by milling in the cover plate. In a preferred embodiment, however, they are produced by outgoing from the respective end face notches of the intermediate walls - (claim 2), so that the cover plates for it does not need to be specially processed and can be identical. Instead of the notches, the tubular wall parts can be withdrawn with the inflow or outflow in the longitudinal direction (claim 3).
The extruded profile forming the carrier plate forms with its outer contour the circular-arc-shaped recesses for receiving the cells in at least two parallel rows so that the recesses for the cells are in pairs back to back and pairs of recesses side by side. In a preferred embodiment, between each four recesses a first tube-forming profile part is provided, from which the partition walls emanate in a star shape (claim 4). By these profile parts at the locations largest width of the carrier plates so a non-traversed zone and around it so channels are created about 3 AT 009 922 U1 same cross-section for the cooling flow. As a result, the decisive for the heat transfer flow rate remains largely unchanged. In a further development, the cover plates each have a with the respective pipe forming profile part congruent hole through which the two cover plates are held together in their central region by means of first tension elements together (claim 5). The tension elements are preferably threaded bolts which press the cover plates sealingly against the carrier plate.
Similarly, between the top and bottom two back-to-back recesses of a row and a cross member of the profile in each case a second tube-forming profile part may be provided, which itself forms three partitions (claim 6). These profile parts are on the one hand connected to the liquid cooling circuit (claim 7). Its other end is sealed liquid-tight. For this purpose, the cover plates on the side of the connection to the cooling circuit openings (claim 8), through which the cooling liquid is supplied or removed.
In a further development of the invention, the enclosure of second tension elements is formed, which wrap around the cells on their side facing away from the carrier plate, wherein the space between the second tension members and the not adjacent to the support plate parts of the cells is filled by a triangular longitudinal profile (claim 9 ). This ensures that all cells abut the recesses of the support plate. Preferably, these hollow triangular hollow sections (claim 10). If these are also flowed through by the cooling liquid, the temperature distribution is also improved at the periphery of the cells.
In the following the invention will be described and explained with reference to figures. They show:
1: A battery according to the invention, axonometric,
2: As FIG. 1, but without a lid,
3 shows an end view according to A in Fig. 2,
4 shows an end view according to B in Fig. 2,
5 shows a longitudinal section according to V-V in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.
In Fig. 1, arranged in two parallel rows cells are provided with the reference numerals 1 to 6, the cells 1 to 3 form a first row and the cells 4 to € a second. The cells can be high performance cells of any type and chemical functionality. They are cylindrical and extend either over the entire length of the battery or, as in the exemplary embodiment shown, are composed of five individual cells arranged one behind the other. The electrical connections and connections need not be discussed, because they are immaterial to the invention. Between two rows of cells extends over the entire length of the coolant in a manner to be described to flow through the carrier plate 8. This is an extruded profile of preferably light metal, or of another suitable material. The production of the carrier plate by extrusion allows the production of a hollow body open on both sides with a complex cross-section with low production costs. A thus produced and cut into pieces with the length of the battery profile is closed at its two end faces 9, 10 thus formed with a cover 11 and 12 (see FIG. 5). The lids 11, 12 may also be designed to hold the cells 1 to 6 in their longitudinal direction.
The two covers 11, 12 are held together by first pulling elements 13 (for example, long threaded bolts). For this purpose, the cover 11, 12 are provided with holes 18 at the edge, and bores 19 in the central region of the support plate 8. All cells 1 to 6 of the battery are pressed by second tension elements 14, here tension bands, to the support plate 8 and held together. Between the second tension members 14 and the carrier plate 8 facing away from the contour of the cells to 6 each an approximately dreikantiges hollow longitudinal profile 15 is attached. Approximately, because two sides form concave cylindrical surfaces, which create two cells on each AT 009 922 U1. In the front cover 11 further holes 16, 17 are provided for connection to the cooling circuit, the lower (16) for the inflow and the upper (17) for the drain.
Fig. 2 shows the same battery with removed front cover 11, so that the end face 9 of the extruded profile and thus its cross section presents the viewer. It is enlarged and seen without the cells in FIG.
In Fig. 3, the front end face 9 and Fig. 4, the rear end face 10 of the extruded profile alone is shown. The generally designated 20 outer wall of the extruded profile forms circular arc-shaped recesses 21 to 26 for the cells 1 to 6, which are arranged in pairs back to back and side by side. Furthermore, the outer wall 20 forms a lower (28) and an upper (29) transverse wall. At the transition from the recesses to the transverse walls 28, 29 bores 18 are provided for further first tension elements.
Within this outer wall 20, a number of longitudinally extending channels (44-53) are formed through various walls. Thus, between the lower transverse wall 28 and the recesses 23, 26 forming parts, a first tubular profile part 31, which contacts the three outer wall parts, so to speak forms an inscribed circle. A similar first tubular profile part is arranged between the upper transverse wall 29 and the recesses 21, 24 forming parts of the outer wall 20.
Between the here the recesses 21, 22, 25 and 24 forming wall parts is at the widest point at the height of the ridges 27, a second tubular profile part 33 is formed. From it go star-shaped intermediate walls 37, 38 to the recesses forming outer wall parts. In the same way, between the recesses 22, 23, 25, 26, a second tubular profile part 32 with the intermediate walls 35, 36 is formed. Approximately at the narrowest points of the extruded profile partitions 39, 40, 41st
These intermediate walls 35-38 and partitions 39-41 form separate flow channels, in which the flow direction alternates between adjacent flow channels. The flow directions are indicated in Fig. 3 in the usual way: A circle with dot represents an arrow directed at the eye of the observer, a circle with a cross an arrow away from the viewer. In Fig. 4, which shows the rear end face 10, the symbols for the flow direction for one and the same channel are opposite to those of Fig. 3.
In this way, the following channels are formed: Two to the rear end face 10 through flowed symmetrical first channels 44; a second channel 45 through which the front end face 9 flows; a third channel 46 through which the rear end face 10 flows; two for the front end face 9 perfused symmetrical fourth channels 47; a fifth channel 48 through which the rear end face 10 flows; a sixth channel 49 through which the front end face 9 flows; two to the rear end face 10 perfused symmetrical seventh channels 50; a through-flow to the front end surface 9 eighth channel 51; a ninth channel 52 through which the rear end face 10 flows; and two symmetrical tenth channels 53 flow through to the front end face 9.
In order to redirect the flow at the end faces, corresponding diversion channels could be milled on the inside of the covers 11, 12. According to the invention, however, they are produced by notches of the intermediate walls and partitions of the extruded profile 8 starting from the end faces 9, 10. Since all these notches go out from one of the two end faces 9, 10, they are to be attached with little manufacturing effort, such as by milling.
In Fig. 3, the notches extending from the front end face 9 are provided with the following reference numerals: 60 in the tubular Pfofilteil 31 for connecting the inflow 16 with the first channels 44; 63 in the partition wall 39 for connecting the second channel 45 to the third channel 46; 65 in the intermediate walls 35 for connecting the two fourth channels 47th
5 AT 009 922 U1 with the fifth channel 48; 67 in the intermediate walls 37 for connecting the sixth channel 49 with the two seventh channels 50; 69 in the partition wall 41 for connecting the eighth channel 51 with the ninth channel 52; 72 for connecting the two tenth channels 53 with the drain 17. Instead of the notches 60, 62, 70, 71, the tubular wall parts 31, 34 may be withdrawn in the longitudinal direction. Fig. 4 shows the notches in the rear end face 10: 61 and 62 for connecting the two first channels 44 with the second channel 45; 64 in the intermediate walls 35 for connecting the third channel with the two fourth channels 47; 66 in the partition wall 40 for connecting the fifth channel 48 to the sixth channel 49; 68 in the intermediate walls 38 for connecting the seventh channels 50 with the eighth channel 51; 70 and 71 in the tubular profile part 34 for connecting the ninth channel 52 with the two tenth channels 53. The notches in the first tubular profile parts 31, 34 results in a special feature that can be explained with reference to FIG. 5. In Fig. 5 it can be seen that the first tubular profile part 31, which communicates with the inflow 16 of the coolant, in the vicinity of the front lid 11 and in the vicinity of the rear cover 12 each contains a plug 75, 76. These plugs 45, 46 separate an inlet space 78 on the one side and a passage space 79 on the other side from a closed space 77 lying between the two plugs 75, 76. 50 the cooling liquid entering through the inlet 16 flows into the inlet space 78, from this through the notches 60 (see Fig. 3) in the two first channels 44, which are in Fig. 5 in front of and behind the image surface, in Fig. 3 on either side of the first tubular profile part. At the other end of the first channels 44, the cooling medium passes through the notches 61 in the passage space 79 and from there via the notch 62 in the second channel 45. At the front end face 9, the cooling medium then flows through the notch 63 into the third channel 46, and so on. Analogously, only in the opposite direction is the flow in the first tubular profile part 34 led to the outlet 17. As far as an embodiment. Deviating from this, in the context of the invention, the cells can also be arranged offset in more than two rows and / or against each other and be shaped differently according to the carrier plate. Even then, with a suitable arrangement of the inner walls, it can be achieved that the flow directions in adjacent channels are opposite one another. As a result, a uniform temperature distribution at the surface of the carrier plate can be achieved with the simplest and cheapest production. Claims 1.
