Specific embodiment
The embodiment of the present invention is described below in detail, examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings.Below with reference to
The embodiment of attached drawing description is exemplary, it is intended to is used to explain the present invention, and is not considered as limiting the invention.
Vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing.
Vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: that battery pack 20, cooling circuit 21, first circulation interface 42 and second follow
Ring interface 43, cooling circuit 21 are cold for being connected to for cooling down battery pack 20, first circulation interface 42 and second circulation interface 43
But circuit 21 and external cooling device 10.Cooling circuit 21 can be able to be liquid for cooling media flow, cooling medium, can also
Think gas.Battery pack 20 includes multiple battery modules, and cooling circuit 21 can be arranged around multiple battery modules, more to guarantee
A battery modules heat dissipation is uniform.External cooling device 10 is located at the outside of vehicle, and in other words, external cooling device 10 is not integrated in
On vehicle.When vehicle needs to charge, charging gun 30 can charge to battery pack 20 by the charge port 40 of vehicle, this
When, it is connected in first circulation interface 42 with second circulation interface 43 to external 10 property of can choose of cooling device.Such situation can
With according to the actual situation or user intention is set, for example, external cooling device 10 can be according to outdoor environment and battery
The temperature of packet 20 determines a need for that battery pack 20 is cooled down or heated, alternatively, user is voluntarily according to outdoor environment temperature
Whether selection cools down battery pack 20.
Wherein, the setting of first circulation interface 42 and second circulation interface 43 can be in order to external cooling device 10 and cooling
The connection in circuit 21, can reduce the external cooling device 10 of user's connection at least to some extent in this way and two circulations connect
The difficulty of mouth.In addition, first circulation interface 42 and second circulation interface 43 can distinguish inlet and outlet, it can also the area Bu Zuo
Point.
On the one hand vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention as a result, can drop in this way without arranging cooling device on vehicle
On the other hand the cost and weight of low vehicle may not need the air-conditioning of the unlocking vehicle in the work of external cooling device 10, thus
The electricity of battery can be saved, the energy consumption of vehicle can be reduced, the mileage travelled of vehicle can be extended.
Optionally, the side of vehicle is provided with charge port 40, and first circulation interface 42 and second circulation interface 43 extend to
The side of vehicle.Thus, it is possible to convenient for user after charging gun 30 is inserted at charge port 40, by external cooling device 10 and two
A circulation interface connection, can reduce the operation difficulty of user in this way.
Wherein, cooling circuit 21 includes inlet and outlet, and first circulation interface 42 is connected with import, second circulation interface 43
It is connected with outlet, first circulation interface 42 is identical with the extending direction of second circulation interface 43.It is followed it is understood that working as first
When ring interface 42 is identical with the extending direction of second circulation interface 43, the arrangement form of two circulation interfaces is simpler, in this way may be used
To reduce the stringing difficulty of vehicle, and the connection of external cooling device 10 and two circulation interfaces can also be conducive in this way.
A specific embodiment according to the present invention, as shown in figure 3, the side of vehicle is provided with charge port 40, first is followed
Ring interface 42 and second circulation interface 43 extend at charge port 40.User can solve at charge port 40 to battery as a result,
20 charging of packet and two cooling problems can promote making for user so as to the operating procedure of further simplified user
With experience.
Optionally, first circulation interface 42 and second circulation interface 43 are fixed at charge port 40.First circulation connects in this way
Mouth 42 and 43 position of second circulation interface are fixed reliable, but also can be in order to the connection with external cooling device 10.
Specifically, as shown in figure 3, being additionally provided with charging connector 41 at charge port 40, is surrounded on the outside of charging connector 41
The second cage ring 45 is surrounded on the outside of one cage ring 44, first circulation interface 42 and second circulation interface 43.First cage ring 44
It can play the role of that charging connector 41 and two circulation interfaces are isolated with the second cage ring 45, even if depositing at two circulation interfaces
The dielectric leakage the problem of, the first cage ring 44 and the second cage ring 45 are also it is possible to prevente effectively from media flow is to charging connector 41
Place, so as to promote the charging of battery pack 20 and cooling reliability of vehicle.
In addition, as shown in figure 3, the first cage ring 44 and the second cage ring 45 limit mating groove, the first cage ring respectively
44 and second cage ring 45 share one section of side wall.That is, the first cage ring 44 and the second cage ring 45 can also play and match
Cooperation is used, and can reduce the cooperation difficulty of charging gun 30 and charging connector 41 in this way, and can reduce external cooling device 10
With the cooperation difficulty of two circulation interfaces.In addition, since the first cage ring 44 and the second cage ring 45 share one section of side wall, in this way
Location arrangements between charging connector 41 and two circulation interfaces are reasonable, so as to save the space at charge port 40, and
Material can be saved.
An alternative embodiment according to the present invention is respectively arranged at first circulation interface 42 and second circulation interface 43
On-off valve.It is understood that on-off valve can solve when external cooling device 10 is connected to and disconnects with two circulation interfaces
The problem of dielectric leakage, when needing to be connected to, two on-off valves are opened, and when needing to disconnect, two on-off valves are closed.
According to another alternative embodiment of the present invention, first circulation interface 42 is provided with the check valve allowed flow into, the
Two circulation interfaces 43 are provided with the check valve for allowing to flow out.It is understood that check valve applies more convenient, and make
It is long with the service life.
