Because the first air outlet is communicated with the air inlet 104 through the first ventilation channel, cold air outside the box body 1 flows from the air inlet 104 into the first chamber, and the cold air discharges heat in the first battery unit 100 to the outside of the box body 1 through the first ventilation channel under the action of the first exhaust fan 2 so as to cool the first battery unit 100; because the second air outlet is communicated with the air inlet 104 through the second ventilation channel, cold air outside the box body 1 enters the second chamber from the air inlet 104, and the cold air discharges heat in the second battery unit 200 to the outside of the box body 1 through the second ventilation channel under the action of the second exhaust fan 3 so as to cool the second battery unit 200. A ventilation space is reserved between two adjacent electric cores in the same battery unit group through the first ventilation channel and the second ventilation channel, and then heat of each electric core is dissipated. The partition plate 4 is provided to dissipate heat of the first battery cell 100 and the second battery cell 200 by the first suction fan 2 and the second suction fan 3, respectively, and prevent hot air inside the first chamber and hot air inside the second chamber from being accumulated with each other, thereby maintaining the temperature of the first battery cell 100 and the temperature of the second battery cell 200 substantially the same. The battery box is beneficial to reducing the temperature difference between the battery cores and improving the temperature uniformity of the two groups of battery units.
The first air outlet and the second air outlet are located on the same side face of the box body 1. In an embodiment, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the box body 1, and in some application occasions, a smaller air exhaust space can be reserved for the battery box in the electric equipment, so that the battery box can be arranged in the electric equipment conveniently. In other embodiments, the first outlet and the second outlet may be distributed at intervals in the length direction of the box body 1. Or, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are distributed at intervals in the height direction of the box body 1.
In this embodiment, the box body 1 has a rectangular structure. The box body 1 comprises an upper cover plate 103, a lower cover plate, a first side plate 102, a second side plate 106, a front end plate 101 and a rear end plate 105, wherein the upper cover plate 103 is located above the lower cover plate, the first side plate 102 is close to the first cavity, and the second side plate 106 is close to the second cavity. The first air outlet and the second air outlet are both arranged on the front end plate 101, and the air inlet 104 is arranged on the rear end plate 105. Wherein, the air outlet distributes along the width direction of case body 1. The upper cover plate 103, the lower cover plate, the first side plate 102, the second side plate 106, the front end plate 101 and the rear end plate 105 may be connected by stamping, die casting, welding, or the like. In other examples, the box body 1 may have other shapes and structures, and the shape and structure of the box body 1 is not particularly limited.
