Heat dissipating device for a battery pack, and a battery pack using the same
First Claim
1. A battery pack comprising:
- a plurality of cells connected in series or in parallel; and
a heat dissipating device, wherein the heat dissipating device includesat least one heat pipe;
a plurality of heat collecting plates including a bottom heat collecting plate and a upper heat collecting plate which both have a hole formed therein, and between which the cells are interposed;
a supporting frame on which the heat collecting plates are fixed; and
a heat dissipating structure, wherein the heat dissipating structure is a heat sink or a heat dissipating plate under a lower surface of the bottom heat collecting plate,wherein each heat pipe is U-shaped, and one end of each U-shaped heat pipe is inserted into and terminates within one hole of the bottom heat collecting plate and the other end is inserted into and terminates within one hole of the upper heat collecting plate.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a heat dissipating device for a battery pack which comprises a heat pipe and a heat collecting plate comprising a bottom heat collecting plate and an upper heat collecting plate each having a hole therein, wherein two ends of the heat pipe are inserted respectively into the holes in the bottom heat collecting plate and the upper heat collecting plate. A battery using the heat dissipating device is also disclosed. During the operation of the heat dissipating device, since the heat generated by the cells can be collected in the upper heat collecting plate, then transmitted to the bottom heat collecting plate through the heat pipe, and finally dissipated outwardly by the bottom heat collecting plate, the heat generated by cells can be dissipated rapidly and efficiently.
