Abstract

The present application provides a temperature control component, which includes a first side plate, a second side plate and a first buffer plate. A cavity is formed by the second side plate and the first side plate; the first buffer plate is disposed between the second side plate and the first side plate to divide the cavity into multiple channels, and at least part of the first buffer plate extends obliquely from the first side plate towards the second side plate. The present application also provides a battery pack, which includes the temperature control component described above.

Claims (44)

1. A temperature control component, comprising:
