3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB/T 19596 and the following apply.
3.1
cooling connector assembly
interface connecting the liquid cooling system of the complete vehicle and that of the battery swap pack
Note: It consists of the pack connector and the vehicle connector, and can automatically cut off the coolant when disconnected and automatically turn on the coolant when connected.
3.2
pack connector
part of the cooling interface connected with the battery pack
Note: Generally, it has guiding function and a floatable valve core inside, referred to as "pack end" for short.
3.3
vehicle connector
part of the cooling interface connecting to the electric vehicle or charging rack
Note: Generally, it has the feature of floating mechanisms, including the side where the valve body can be opened, and the valve core is wrapped when plugged into each other, referred to as the "vehicle end" for short.
3.4
floating mechanism
mechanism in the cooling interface that can correct the matching error between the pack end and the vehicle end
4 Requirements for compatibility of cooling interface
4.1 Interface requirements
4.1.1 Critical dimensions
The critical dimensions and parameters of the cooling interface shall meet those specified in Table 1.
4.1.2 Spring force
It is based on the spring force value during interactions; the compatibility can be realized only after meeting those specified in Table 2.
4.1.3 Cooling medium
The cooling medium shall be 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water.
4.1.4 Water inlet and outlet
The water inlet and outlet of the battery pack shall be located at the right and left side of the direction of vehicle forward motion, as shown in Figure A.7.
4.1.5 Sealing method
Radial seal shall be adopted for the valve core.
4.2 Interface performance requirements
4.2.1 Floating requirements
The floating mechanism of the cooling interface may allow the plug and socket to be mated and separated with a certain offset error. After the floating capacity test is carried out as per 5.3, the error correction ability in X, Y and Z directions shall be within the range of -5 mm to 5 mm. See Figure A.8 for details of horizontal floating range. At the same time, the angle error correction ability shall be -1° to 1°.
Note: Refer to the definition of vehicle coordinate system given in GB/T 12673 for X, Y and Z directions.
4.2.2 Air tightness
After the air tightness test is completed as per 5.4, at least one of the following requirements shall be met;
a) Wet test: There shall be no visible bubbles;
b) Dry test: The leakage from the cooling interface shall not exceed 0.5 mL/min;
c) Ammonia test: The leakage from the cooling interface shall not exceed 2×10-6 Pa·m3/s.
4.2.3 Requirements for insertion-withdrawal force
After the insertion-withdrawal force test is completed as per 5.5, the insertion-withdrawal force applied on the cooling interface shall not be greater than 350 N.
4.2.4 Requirements for pressure drop
The pressure drop value at room temperature after the vehicle end and the pack end is assembled shall meet those specified in Table 3.
