Water cooling assembly, battery pack, and device
Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of batteries, and provide a water cooling assembly, a battery pack, and a device in order to solve the technical problem of low cooling efficiency of a cooling assembly of a battery pack. The water cooling assembly is configured to cool a cell, and includes: a body portion having a cooling channel for receiving a coolant; a first connecting portion connected to the body portion and having a communication cavity for introducing or draining the coolant; and a second connecting portion arranged between the body portion and the first connecting portion and having an inner cavity for communicating the cooling channel with the communication cavity. An end face of the inner cavity close to the cooling channel has a cross-sectional area greater than that of an end face of the communication cavity close to the inner cavity.
1. A water cooling assembly for cooling a cell, the water cooling assembly comprising:
a body portion having a cooling channel for receiving a coolant;
a first connecting portion connected to the body portion and having a communication cavity for introducing or draining the coolant; and
a second connecting portion arranged between the body portion and the first connecting portion and having an inner cavity for communicating the cooling channel with the communication cavity, wherein the inner cavity has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other in a flow direction of the coolant, wherein
an end face of the inner cavity close to the cooling channel has a cross-sectional area greater than that of an end face of the communication cavity close to the inner cavity.
2. The water cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein, the first end of the inner cavity is configured to be in communication with the cooling channel, and the cross-sectional area of the inner cavity is gradually decreased from the first end of the inner cavity to the second end of the inner cavity.
3. The water cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the cross-sectional area of the inner cavity is the same at any position thereof.
4. The water cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second connecting portion comprises:
a first pipe segment connected to the body portion; and
a second pipe segment connected between the first pipe segment and the first connecting portion.
5. The water cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second connecting portion is integrally formed with the body portion.
6. The water cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an end face of the inner cavity close to the communication cavity has a cross-sectional area smaller than or equal to that of an end face of the body portion close to the inner cavity.
7. The water cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the body portion comprises a first plate and a second plate that are arranged opposite each other, and the side of the first plate facing the second plate and/or the side of the second plate facing the first plate is provided with a groove for forming the cooling channel.
8. The water cooling assembly according to claim 7 , wherein the second connecting portion is arranged on the side of the first plate facing away from the second plate and/or the side of the second plate facing away from the first plate.
9. A battery pack, comprising a plurality of cells and a water cooling assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the water cooling assembly is configured to cool the plurality of cells.
10. A battery-powered device, the device comprising a battery pack according to claim 9 , wherein the battery pack provides electric energy to the device.
