The invention provides a
carbon fiber composite material battery shell as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
carbon fiber composite material battery shell comprises an upper cover and a box body; the box body is provided with side walls and an internal reinforcing beam; a
skin of the box body is formed by
compression molding of a plurality of
layers of biaxial warp-knitted carbon
fiber cloth; the internal reinforcing beam is a prefabricated carbon plate; the prefabricated carbon plate is embedded and fused in the
skin of the box body in the
compression molding process of the box body to form an integrated structure; when the maximum height-
width ratio H / L of the side walls is larger than 0.2, the included angle between the main
fiber guiding direction and the length direction of the box body ranges from + / -55 degrees to + / -65 degrees. When the maximum height-
width ratio H / L of the side walls is smaller than or equal to 0.2, the included angle between the main
fiber guiding direction and the length direction of the box body ranges from + / -30 degrees to + / -50 degrees. The weight is reduced, the consumption of the
carbon fibers is reduced, meanwhile, the
mechanical property is kept unchanged, the material can be applied to
new energy electric vehicles, and the cost is reduced.
