To address the issues of high pressure drop and poor temperature uniformity in traditional channel-type battery liquid cooling plates, a multi-objective topology optimization method was employed for the design optimization of the liquid cooling plate. An experimental model of battery heat generation was established, and a topology optimization model of the liquid cooling plate was constructed based on the variable density method. The impact of different inlet and outlet arrangements on the performance of the optimized liquid cooling plate was investigated, and the best-performing liquid cooling plate was selected and compared with the traditional straight-channel liquid cooling plate. The results indicate that the topology channels obtained under different inlet and outlet arrangements exhibit significant differences in temperature and pressure drop performance. When the inlet and outlet are arranged along the central symmetry line of the long edge of the liquid cooling plate, the topology-optimized liquid cooling plate demonstrates the best overall performance. Compared to the straight-channel liquid cooling plate, it exhibits stronger flow and heat transfer performance, with the maximum temperature, temperature standard deviation, and pressure drop reduced by 1.38%, 22.35%, and 28.36%, respectively, at an inlet flow rate of 5 g/s. This novel liquid cooling plate can provide new insights for the thermal design of future battery thermal management system.
