  • Patent number: 11781679
    Abstract: A heat exchange pipe joint includes a first pipe and a second pipe that are separately formed and in communication with each other. The first pipe is detachably connected to a second side of the installation plate, and the second pipe is detachably connected to a first side of the installation plate. When the heat exchange pipe joint is applied to the battery pack, the heat exchange pipe joint in a split-structure requires a small operation space for detachment and installation. In this case, a process of taking out the entire heat exchange pipe joint from the case can be avoided. In this way, the detachment and installation of the heat exchange pipe joint can be easy and convenient, thereby facilitating the reparation process thereof.
