The battery pack includes a battery module, a heat exchange member, a flow guide piece and a heat-conducting connecting piece. The battery module includes a plurality of batteries. Each battery is provided with an explosion-proof valve. The heat exchange member includes a heat exchange plate. The heat exchange plate is connected to the plurality of batteries through the heat-conducting connecting piece, and the heat exchange plate at least partially covers each explosion-proof valve. The flow guide piece is arranged between the plurality of batteries and the heat exchange plate, the flow guide piece is provided with a positioning hole penetrating in a height direction of the battery pack, and the positioning hole exposes the corresponding explosion-proof valve. The flow guide piece separates the corresponding explosion-proof valve from the heat-conducting connecting piece.

Abstract: A thermal management device and a battery pack are provided. The thermal management device applied in a battery pack. The battery pack includes a case and a plurality of cells received in the case. The thermal management device includes: a thermal management loop attached to each cell and at least partially covering a part of a vent of each cell; a heat exchange member communicating with the thermal management loop; and a power component connected between the thermal management loop and the heat exchange member. A heat exchange medium with a fire-extinguishing function is provided within the thermal management loop.

Abstract: In a general aspect, a position detection system includes a magnetic field generator configured to generate a time-varying magnetic field. The magnetic field generator includes a carrier assembly that defines a first axis of rotation and comprises a permanent magnet having a center of mass. The magnetic field generator also includes a drive assembly that is coupled to the carrier assembly and configured to act on the carrier assembly to rotate the permanent magnet simultaneously about the first axis of rotation and a second axis of rotation. The second axis of rotation intersects the first axis of rotation at an intersection that is offset from the center of mass of the permanent magnet. The position detection system additionally includes a computer device configured to determine a position of a sensor based on magnetic field measurements obtained by the sensor in the time-varying magnetic field.
