Background

With the continuous development of the performance of electric vehicles, the safety requirements for electric vehicles are also continuously improved. The current relevant standard is that the outside of the battery system does not allow open fire to appear in 5 minutes or more under the conditions of extrusion, short circuit, overcharge and the like of the battery module, so as to ensure that passengers have enough time to escape.

The thermal runaway of the battery module is caused by thermal runaway of the single battery, and the thermal runaway of more peripheral normal batteries is driven through thermal spread to cause the thermal runaway. The self-ignition thermal runaway of the single lithium battery cannot be avoided, and how to better block or inhibit the thermal spread of the thermal runaway monomer to the peripheral batteries is an effort target of battery grouping thermal safety management.

The spontaneous combustion probability of the single battery can only be reduced, and cannot be completely eradicated, and the jet explosion of the single battery is inevitable and must be prevented and controlled; the size of the cylindrical single battery is limited, the total capacity is limited, and the influence of the single injection explosion on the whole explosion is minimized, so that the effort direction of the industry for preventing the whole explosion of the battery pack is provided; the monomer is burnt and exploded and can spray out a large amount of hot air flow even flame, dredge the heat flow and reduce the heat influence minimization (heat spreading and blocking) to the adjacent battery as soon as possible and is the problem that the industry is in urgent need to solve; the larger the cylindrical cell capacity, the greater the regulatory requirements for thermal runaway, especially for 4680 new cells.

The invention aims to provide a battery box with a heat dredging function, a heat dredging structure and a heat dredging method, wherein after a single battery is out of control, high heat flow discharged by a pressure release valve of the single battery is sprayed from a harmful avoidance area (high pressure) to a heat dredging area (medium pressure) below a vehicle to a heat collecting and dispersing area (low pressure) to the outside of the box (no pressure), and the volume density (power density) of the heat flow is gradually reduced, so that the heat protection of normal batteries in an upper battery compartment and the heat protection of personnel and property on an upper layer of a battery pack are realized, and the heat dredging function is realized.

In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, the present invention provides a battery box with a heat dissipation function, the battery box including:

the internal space of the box body is divided into an upper battery compartment and a lower heat collecting and distributing area by a heat partition plate; and

the single battery comprises an upper end surface and a shell, a battery pressure relief valve is arranged on the upper end surface, the single battery is arranged in the battery bin, and the upper end surface faces the thermal partition plate;

the heat separator is provided with a heat dredging area, the outlet of the battery pressure release valve corresponds to the heat dredging area, and the heat flow discharged by the single battery pressure release valve enters the heat collecting and distributing area through the heat dredging area.

According to the battery box, after the thermal runaway phenomenon of the single battery occurs, high heat flow discharged by the pressure release valve of the single battery is sprayed to the thermal dredging area (high pressure) from the lower part of a vehicle through the pressure release valve to the thermal dredging area (medium pressure) to the thermal collecting and distributing area (low pressure) and then to the outside of the box (no pressure), and the volume density (power density) of the heat flow is gradually reduced, so that the thermal protection of the normal battery in the upper battery compartment and the thermal protection of personnel and property on the upper layer of the battery pack are realized, and the heat flow is dredged to the thermal dredging target thermal dredging structure of a safety area outside the box.

As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the upper end surface of the single battery is at least provided with a pole, and the poles of the plurality of single batteries are electrically connected in series or in parallel through a busbar; and the bus bar is arranged between the outlet of the battery pressure release valve and the heat dredging area.

The busbar is fixed with the battery pressure release valve of the single battery through the electric connecting piece of the tubular structure, the two ends of the electric connecting piece cover the pressure release valve and the heat dredging area respectively, the side wall of the electric connecting piece, the battery pressure release valve of the single battery and the heat partition plate form a closed heat dredging area, and heat generated by the single battery is discharged by the battery pressure release valve and then enters the heat collecting and dissipating area through the heat dredging area.

It should be noted that the battery pressure release valve defined in the present invention needs to directly face the heat dissipation area, and there is no other structure between the two for shielding, so that the heat energy discharged by the single battery pressure release valve can directly break through the heat dissipation area and enter the heat collection and dissipation area. Therefore, for the cylindrical battery, because the battery post and the battery pressure release valve are on the same end face of the battery and have the same position, after the battery post is connected into the bus bar, the bus bar can block the outlet of the battery pressure release valve, therefore, the invention creatively arranges the electric connecting piece which does not reduce the throughput of the confluence on the bus bar to electrically connect the battery post, the through hole on the electric connecting piece enables the battery pressure release valve to be in a straight-face heat dredging area, the bus bar is prevented from being blocked between the battery post and the electric connecting piece, in addition, the closed side wall of the electric connecting piece, the battery end face and the one-way conduction structure form a closed space, and the outer side of the side wall of the electric connecting piece is filled with a solid heat insulating material, so that the heat flow discharged by the pressure release valve can only be limited in the heat dredging area, and cannot overflow into a battery bin or influence adjacent batteries. Of course, for square battery and laminate polymer battery, the battery utmost point post and the battery relief valve itself of this type of battery are just staggered, and after battery utmost point post inserted the busbar, the busbar probably can not shelter from the battery relief valve, then need not to set up electric connector this moment.

The invention does not impose any particular requirements and special limits on the structure of the electrical connector, and any structure of electrical connector may be used in the invention as long as the above-mentioned functions can be achieved, and exemplarily, the crown-wearing cold welding structure disclosed in CN113241491A may be selected.

As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a unidirectional conducting structure for unidirectional conduction is disposed at a position of the thermal partition plate corresponding to the direction of the heat dissipation area in the heat dissipation area, and the unidirectional conducting structure is turned on after a set pressure or a set temperature is applied to one side of the heat dissipation area.

The one-way conduction structure is in a closed state in a normal state, and can be opened in a one-way mode after being pressed or heated, so that the heat flow generated by the pressure release valve can only flow in one direction through the pressure release valve, the heat dispersion area and the heat collection and distribution area, the heat generated by the pressure release valve (high pressure) is introduced into the heat collection and distribution area (low pressure) through the heat dispersion area (medium pressure) and then flows out of the box (no pressure), the volume density of the heat flow is reduced step by step, and the influence of short-time accumulation of the heat flow in a limited space on the heat spreading of peripheral normal batteries is effectively prevented until the risk of explosion of the peripheral normal batteries is triggered.

It should be noted that the unidirectional conducting structure of the present invention can be selected as a valve which is heated and opened unidirectionally, such as a unidirectional door with a low melting point solid material as a door lock, on one side of the heat dredging area, or a shallow scratch which is formed on the surface of the heat partition plate and is not broken, or a notch or a valve which can be opened unidirectionally after being pressed.

As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the battery box further includes a heat discharging structure connected to the heat collecting and dissipating area, the heat discharging structure includes a pressure releasing pipeline and a box body pressure releasing valve, one end of the pressure releasing pipeline is connected to an edge of the heat collecting and dissipating area to form a connection port, the connection port is located at a higher position of the heat collecting and dissipating area, and the box body pressure releasing valve is located at a connection end surface of the pressure releasing pipeline and the heat collecting and dissipating area or at the other end of the pressure releasing pipeline.

The box body pressure release valve is a one-way pressure release valve, releases pressure from the interior of the box body to the exterior of the box body, and has two-way water tightness.

It should be noted that the external pressure relief pipeline in the invention can be omitted, when the local space outside the box body (not outside the whole vehicle) can bear heat accumulation, the heat generated by the pressure relief valve can be directly discharged out of the pressure relief valve of the box body after being accumulated by the heat accumulation and dissipation area, and the heat is not required to be transported after the external pressure relief pipeline is fixed on the rail; the internal pressure relief pipeline is generally arranged above the heat collecting and dispersing bin, so that the rising heat flow is guided from the inside of the box to the outside of the box. Because the box is generally a heat sensitive area, the invention creatively arranges the outer sleeve heat insulation sleeve on the internal pressure relief pipe to prevent heat flow from influencing the heat environment around the internal pressure relief pipe through the pipe wall. The box body pressure release valve under the scene can be arranged at the connecting part of the internal pressure release pipe and the heat collection and dissipation bin, and also can be arranged at the connecting part of the internal pressure release pipe and the box wall.

As a preferred technical scheme of the invention, one end of the pressure relief pipeline or the pipe body is connected with the wall of the box body in an intersecting manner to form a hot outflow box opening; and a heat insulation sleeve is coated on a part of pipelines of the heat sensitive area inside or outside the box, through which the pressure relief pipeline passes.

As a preferable technical scheme of the invention, the heat collecting and distributing bin is at least connected with the bottom of the box body.

The heat collecting and distributing area at least comprises a bottom bin positioned at the bottom of the box body.

Optionally, in the present invention, a plurality of columnar supports are disposed in the bottom bin, and are used to enhance the strength of the thermal partition, and bear the heavy pressure of the weight of the plurality of single batteries in the battery bin, and meanwhile, it is also necessary to ensure the fluidity of the liquid medium and the gasification gas in the heat dissipation region. Optionally, the support member of the present invention is a flat lateral perforated grid that can withstand longitudinal pressure.

As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the heat collecting and distributing region further includes a side bin located on at least one side wall of the box body, the side bin is located higher than the bottom bin, and the side bin is communicated with the bottom bin.

Because the whole battery box is generally arranged on a vehicle chassis and is limited by the trafficability of the distance between the vehicle and the ground, and the height expansibility of the battery box is limited, although the invention can increase the volume of the heat collection and dissipation bin in a mode of the bottom surface area of the whole box bottom plus the limited height, the volume of a single bottom bin is not too large, so that the invention arranges a side bin in the side space of the battery box which is allowed to expand, thereby expanding the space of a heat collection and dissipation area, the heat flow discharged by the pressure release valve can escape from the side bin through the bottom bin, promoting the rapid discharge of the heat flow, and preventing the recoil of the instant overlarge heat flow pressure in the bottom bin to the thermal runaway single battery. The box body pressure relief valve can also be arranged on the box wall of the side bin, and the surface of one side of the side bin, which is close to the battery bin, can be provided with a thermal insulation material to prevent the influence on the single batteries in the battery bin.

As a preferable technical scheme of the invention, the heat collecting and distributing area is provided with a nonflammable large heat capacity medium, and the large heat capacity medium reduces the temperature of the heat collecting and distributing bin through temperature rise or phase change heat absorption after being heated.

In the invention, the large heat capacity medium in the heat collecting and distributing area is gasified by heat, and phase change absorbs large heat, thereby being beneficial to reducing the heat of heat flow sprayed by the pressure release valve; on the other hand, the gasified hot gas has the characteristics of autonomous upward flow and layering with the large heat capacity medium after rising, the hot gas is favorably discharged out of the box through the heat discharge structure, and the large heat capacity medium is still left at the bottom of the heat collecting and distributing bin.

As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the large heat capacity medium is a high-fluidity liquid medium, and is used for rapidly equalizing local high heat of the heat collecting and distributing bin, and changing into a gaseous state at the time of high heat, and discharging the gaseous state out of the tank through the heat discharging structure, so as to maintain the heat collecting and distributing bin at the set heat threshold temperature.

The specific material of the medium having a large heat capacity of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, water, oil or a mixed liquid of water and oil.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the large heat capacity medium is colored.

In the present invention, the fact that the large heat capacity medium is colored means that the large heat capacity medium itself has a color, and may be a color obtained by adding a pigment to the large heat capacity medium.

The heat collecting and dispersing bin is arranged at the bottom of the battery box, the bottom of the battery box is the nearest place of the battery box to the ground, and the heat collecting and dispersing bin is particularly easy to scratch and generate damage and cracking of the bottom of the battery box and is not easy to perceive. Because the large heat capacity medium is positioned at the bottom of the box body, once the box body is injured, the water tightness is damaged, and the large heat capacity medium is leaked to the outside of the box body. Even if the liquid is dried outside the tank, the colored large heat capacity medium still can leave traces which are easy to be found outside the tank, so that the problem of the collecting and distributing bin can be found as early as possible, and the manual intervention and maintenance are facilitated.

In a second aspect, the invention provides a heat conducting structure of a battery, the heat conducting structure comprises the battery box of the first aspect, a heat insulating bonding layer and a solid heat insulating layer are sequentially arranged on the surface of one side, close to a battery compartment, of the heat partition plate from bottom to top, the end part of each single battery is fixed on the heat partition plate through the heat insulating bonding layer, and the solid heat insulating layer is filled between the shells, close to the end part, of each single battery and used for heat isolation between the heating shell, close to the end part, of each single battery and the corresponding part of the adjacent normal single battery.

As a preferable technical solution of the present invention, a fluid temperature equalization layer is further disposed above the solid heat insulation layer, and at least a part of the case of the unit cell is immersed in the fluid temperature equalization layer.

In the present invention, the heat insulation bonding layer may be polyurea. The solid heat insulating layer is made of polyurethane or phenolic aldehyde, and the upper surface and/or the lower surface of the solid heat insulating layer is/are covered with an insulating film. The fluid temperature equalization layer may be selected from silicone oil. Since the high thermal insulation foaming material is a powdery polymer and has the possibility of dispersion under the continuous impact of fluid, the lower surface of the high thermal insulation foaming material is sealed by a thermal insulation bonding layer, and the upper surface of the high thermal insulation foaming material is sealed by a single-sided adhesive-backed insulation film.

In a third aspect, the present invention provides a method for thermally dredging a single battery by using the thermal dredging structure of the second aspect, where the method includes:

when the interior of the single battery is overheated, heat is sprayed out through a battery pressure release valve, and enters a heat collecting and dispersing area after the heat is subjected to primary capacity expansion and heat density reduction by a heat dispersing area;

the heat insulation bonding layer and the solid heat insulation layer are used for preventing heat exchange between the high-heat collection and dissipation bin and the battery bin at normal temperature.

The method for heat dredging of the invention also comprises the following steps: in the process of flowing of a medium of the fluid temperature equalizing layer, heat on the outer surface of the shell of the thermal runaway single battery soaked in the fluid temperature equalizing layer is quickly carried away and evenly distributed into large heat capacities of the fluid temperature equalizing layer and other normal single batteries, so that the heat influence on the surfaces of adjacent normal battery shells is reduced to the maximum extent.

Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:

after the battery box provided by the invention realizes the thermal runaway phenomenon of the single battery, the high-heat flow discharged by the pressure release valve of the single battery is sprayed to the thermal dispersion area (medium pressure) from the lower part of the vehicle to the thermal dispersion area (low pressure) and then to the outside of the box (no pressure), and the volume density (power density) of the heat flow is gradually reduced, so that the thermal protection of the normal battery in the upper battery compartment and the thermal protection of the personnel and property on the upper layer of the battery pack as well as the thermal dispersion purpose thermal dispersion structure for dispersing the heat flow to the safe area outside the box are realized.

The technical solution of the present invention is further explained by the following embodiments.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a battery box with a heat dissipation function, as shown in fig. 1, including:

the solar battery heat collector comprises a box body 1, wherein the inner space of the box body 1 is divided into an upper battery compartment 4 and a lower heat collecting and dispersing area 3 by a heat partition plate; and

the single battery 2 comprises an upper end surface and a shell, the upper end surface is provided with a battery pressure release valve 10, the single battery 2 is arranged in the battery bin 4, and the upper end surface faces the thermal partition plate;

the heat baffle is provided with a heat dredging area, the outlet of the battery pressure release valve 10 corresponds to the heat dredging area, and the heat flow discharged by the pressure release valve 10 of the single battery 2 enters the heat collecting and distributing area 3 through the heat dredging area.

After the battery box provided by the invention realizes the thermal runaway phenomenon of the single battery 2, the high-heat flow discharged by the pressure release valve 10 of the single battery 2 is sprayed (high pressure) to the thermal dispersion area (medium pressure) to the thermal dispersion area 3 (low pressure) from the lower part of the vehicle to the outside of the box (no pressure), and the volume density (power density) of the heat flow is gradually reduced, so that the thermal protection of the normal battery in the upper battery compartment 4 and the thermal protection of personnel and property on the upper layer of the battery pack as well as the thermal dispersion purpose thermal dispersion structure for dispersing the heat flow to a safe area outside the box are realized.

Furthermore, the upper end surface of the single battery 2 is at least provided with a pole 5, and the poles 5 of the single batteries 2 are electrically connected in series or in parallel through a busbar 6; and the bus bar 6 is arranged between the outlet of the battery pressure release valve 10 and the corresponding heat dredging area.

It should be noted that the battery pressure release valve 10 defined in the present invention needs to directly face the heat dissipation area, and there is no other structure between the two for shielding, so that the heat energy discharged by the pressure release valve 10 of the single battery 2 can directly break through the heat dissipation area and enter the heat collecting and dissipating area 3. Therefore, for the cylindrical battery, because the battery post 5 and the battery pressure relief valve 10 are on the same end face of the battery and have the same position, after the battery post 5 is connected to the bus bar 6, the bus bar 6 can block the outlet of the battery pressure relief valve 10, therefore, the invention creatively arranges the electric connecting piece 7 which does not reduce the throughput of the bus bar on the bus bar 6 to electrically connect the battery post 5, the through hole on the electric connecting piece 7 enables the battery pressure relief valve 10 to be in a straight-face heat dredging area, and the bus bar 6 is prevented from being blocked between the two, in addition, the closed side wall of the electric connecting piece 7, the battery end face and the one-way conducting structure form a closed space, and the outer side of the side wall of the electric connecting piece 7 is filled with a solid heat insulating material, so that the heat flow discharged by the pressure relief valve 10 can only be limited in the heat dredging area, and cannot overflow into the battery bin 4 or influence the adjacent battery. Of course, for square batteries and soft-package batteries, the battery post 5 and the battery pressure release valve 10 of such batteries are staggered, and after the battery post 5 is connected into the bus bar 6, the bus bar 6 may not shield the battery pressure release valve 10, and at this moment, the electric connector 7 does not need to be arranged.

The invention does not impose any particular requirements and special limits on the structure of the electrical connector, and any structure of electrical connector may be used in the invention as long as the above-mentioned functions can be achieved, and exemplarily, the crown-wearing cold welding structure disclosed in CN113241491A may be selected.

Furthermore, a unidirectional conduction structure which is in unidirectional conduction is arranged at the position of the thermal partition plate corresponding to the direction of the heat distribution area 3 in the heat dispersion area, and the unidirectional conduction structure is opened after one side of the heat distribution area 3 is subjected to set pressure or set temperature.

It should be noted that the unidirectional conducting structure of the present invention can be selected as a valve which is heated and opened unidirectionally, such as a unidirectional door with a low melting point solid material as a door lock, on one side of the heat dredging area, or a shallow scratch which is formed on the surface of the heat partition plate and is not broken, or a notch or a valve which can be opened unidirectionally after being pressed.

Further, the heat collecting and distributing bin is at least connected with the bottom of the box body 1.

The heat collecting and distributing area 3 at least comprises a bottom bin positioned at the bottom of the box body 1.

Optionally, in the present invention, a plurality of columnar supports are disposed in the bottom bin, so as to enhance the strength of the thermal partition, support the huge pressure of the weight of the plurality of single batteries 2 in the battery bin 4, and simultaneously, ensure the fluidity of the large heat capacity medium and the gasified gas in the heat dissipation region 3. Optionally, the support member of the present invention is a flat lateral perforated grid that can withstand longitudinal pressure.

Further, the heat collecting and distributing area 3 further comprises a side bin located on at least one side wall of the box body 1, the position of the side bin is higher than that of the bottom bin, and the side bin is communicated with the bottom bin.

Because the whole battery box is generally arranged on a vehicle chassis and is limited by the trafficability of the distance between the vehicle and the ground, and the height expansibility of the battery box is limited, although the invention can increase the volume of the heat collection and dissipation bin in a mode of the bottom surface area of the whole box plus the limited height, the volume of a single bottom bin is not too large, so that the invention arranges a side bin in the side space of the battery box which is allowed to expand, thereby expanding the space of the heat collection and dissipation area 3, the heat flow discharged by the pressure release valve 10 can escape from the side bin through the bottom bin, promoting the rapid discharge of the heat flow, and preventing the recoil caused by the overlarge instantaneous heat flow pressure in the bottom bin to the thermal runaway single battery 2. The box body pressure release valve 8 can also be arranged on the box wall of the side bin, and the surface of one side of the side bin, which is close to the battery bin 4, can be provided with a thermal insulation material to prevent the influence on the single batteries 2 in the battery bin 4.

Further, the heat collecting and distributing area 3 is provided with a non-flammable large heat capacity medium, and the temperature of the heat collecting and distributing bin is reduced through temperature rise or phase change heat absorption after the large heat capacity medium is heated.

In the invention, the large heat capacity medium in the heat collecting and distributing area 3 is gasified by heat, and absorbs a large amount of heat through phase change, thereby being beneficial to reducing the heat of heat flow sprayed by the pressure release valve 10; on the other hand, the gasified hot gas has the characteristics of autonomous upward flow and layering with the large heat capacity medium after rising, the hot gas is favorably discharged out of the box through the heat discharge structure, and the large heat capacity medium is still left at the bottom of the heat collecting and distributing bin.

Further, the large heat capacity medium is a high-fluidity liquid medium, and is used for rapidly balancing local high heat of the heat collecting and distributing bin, changing into a gas state when the local high heat is high, and exhausting the gas out of the tank through the heat discharging structure to maintain the heat collecting and distributing bin at a set heat threshold temperature.

The specific material of the medium having a large heat capacity of the present invention is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, water, oil or a mixed liquid of water and oil.

Further, the large heat capacity medium is colored.

In the present invention, the fact that the large heat capacity medium is colored means that the large heat capacity medium itself has a color, and may be a color obtained by adding a pigment to the large heat capacity medium.

The heat collecting and dispersing bin is arranged at the bottom of the battery box, the bottom of the battery box is the nearest place of the battery box to the ground, and the heat collecting and dispersing bin is particularly easy to scratch and generate damage and cracking of the bottom of the battery box and is not easy to perceive. As the large heat capacity medium is positioned at the bottom of the box body, once the box body 1 is injured, the water tightness is damaged, and the large heat capacity medium is leaked to the outside of the box body 1. Even if the liquid is dried outside the tank, the colored large heat capacity medium still can leave traces which are easy to be found outside the tank, so that the problem of the collecting and distributing bin can be found as early as possible, and the manual intervention and maintenance are facilitated.

In another embodiment, the invention provides a heat conducting structure of a battery, which is shown in fig. 2 and includes the battery box, wherein a heat insulating adhesive layer 11 and a solid heat insulating layer 13 are sequentially arranged on a surface of one side of the heat partition plate, which is close to the battery compartment 4, from bottom to top, an end portion of the single battery 2 is fixed on the heat partition plate through the heat insulating adhesive layer 11, and the solid heat insulating layer 13 is filled between the shells of the single battery 2, which are close to the end portion, and is used for heat isolation between a heating shell of the thermal runaway single battery 2, which is close to the end portion, and a corresponding portion of an adjacent normal single battery 2.

Further, a fluid temperature-equalizing layer 12 is further disposed above the solid heat-insulating layer 13, and at least a part of the housing of the single battery 2 is immersed in the fluid temperature-equalizing layer 12.

In the present invention, the heat insulation bonding layer 11 may be polyurea. The solid heat insulating layer 13 is made of polyurethane or phenolic resin, and the upper surface and/or the lower surface of the solid heat insulating layer is covered with an insulating film. The fluid vapor layer 12 may be selected to be silicone oil. Since the high thermal insulation foaming material is a powdery polymer and has the possibility of dispersion under the continuous impact of fluid, the lower surface of the high thermal insulation foaming material is sealed by a thermal insulation bonding layer, and the upper surface of the high thermal insulation foaming material is sealed by a single-sided adhesive-backed insulation film.

In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for thermally channeling a single battery 2 by using the above thermal channeling structure, the method including:

the heat is through 10 blowout battery relief valves of 2 inside overheated in monomer battery, dredges the district by heat and once expands to hold and reduce and get into heat distribution district 3 after the heat density, and heat distribution district 3 reduces heat density and cooling with the heat collection back secondary dilatation, and high fever gas passes through heat discharge mechanism discharge box 1, realizes cubic dilatation cooling, accomplishes the thermal current and dredges by the echelon heat of the interior 1 exterior space of box of battery case.

The heat insulation bonding layer 11 and the solid heat insulation layer 13 prevent heat exchange between the high-heat collection bin and the normal-temperature battery bin 4.

The method for heat dredging of the invention also comprises the following steps: in the process of flowing of the medium of the fluid temperature equalizing layer 12, the heat on the outer surface of the shell of the thermal runaway single battery 2 soaked in the fluid temperature equalizing layer 12 is quickly carried away and evenly distributed into the large heat capacities of the fluid temperature equalizing layer 12 and other normal single batteries 2, so that the heat influence on the surfaces of the adjacent normal batteries is reduced to the maximum extent.
