Abstract

A battery apparatus includes a liquid cooling member and at least two batteries arranged in a stack. The at least two batteries are located on a same side of the liquid cooling member, and the liquid cooling member is provided with a protrusion. The protrusion communicates with the liquid cooling member. The protrusion is located between the liquid cooling member and the at least two batteries, and the protrusion at least cools the at least two batteries simultaneously.

Claims (9)

1. A battery apparatus, comprising a liquid cooling member and at least two batteries arranged in a stack, wherein the at least two batteries are located on a same side of the liquid cooling member, and the liquid cooling member is provided with a protrusion, the protrusion communicates with the liquid cooling member, the protrusion is located between the liquid cooling member and the at least two batteries, and the protrusion at least cools the at least two batteries simultaneously,

the protrusion comprises at least one bent portion located between the liquid cooling member and the at least two batteries,

the liquid cooling member is a serpentine flat tube including a protruding tube wall on one side and a flat wall on another side, a width of an inner cavity of the bent portion referring to a maximum distance between the protruding tube wall and the flat wall is larger than a width between a circumferential surface of one of the batteries and the flat wall.

2. The battery apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is disposed in contact with the at least two batteries.

3. The battery device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the protrusion gradually decreases from one end of the protrusion connected to the liquid cooling member to one end of the protrusion away from the liquid cooling member.

4. The battery apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion and the liquid cooling member are integrally formed as one piece.

5. The battery apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the batteries is a cylindrical battery.

6. The battery apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein a number of the cylindrical battery is at least four, and two of the cylindrical batteries are disposed on one side of the liquid cooling member, the other two of the cylindrical batteries are disposed on another side of the liquid cooling member, and the four cylindrical batteries are in staggered arrangement or arranged in rows and columns.

7. The battery apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein a maximum length of the protrusion is ⅓ to ½ of a diameter of the cylindrical battery.
