[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile parts, and in particular to a battery frame and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement and development of science and technology, the emergence of new energy vehicles has greatly reduced the consumption of oil resources and promoted the advancement and development of lithium battery technology. Therefore, with the increasing demand for extra-large fuel tanks, integrated air conditioners, and lithium batteries in medium and long-distance transport vehicles, some large commercial tractors will choose to install batteries on the vehicle body. However, due to the very compact design space of the vehicle, the battery is generally installed at the bottom of a large commercial vehicle. This causes the staff to often use the battery as a support point to get on or off the vehicle when carrying or unloading or working, causing the battery frame of the battery to shake. In the long run, it is easy to cause the connection mechanism between the battery and the battery frame to be damaged or even fail. In severe cases, the frame cover will fall off, causing the battery in the battery frame to lose the protection of the battery frame and be damaged, causing losses. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the fact that the frame cover of the battery frame in the prior art is prone to slip and fall off due to being stepped on in actual use, the present application provides a battery frame, including: a battery frame body, a frame cover and a matching plate assembly; wherein,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In order to solve the problem that the frame cover 3 of the battery frame in the related art is easy to slip and fall off due to being stepped on in actual use, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in the second perspective structural diagram, the present application provides a battery frame, which includes: a battery frame body 1, a frame cover 3 and a matching plate assembly 2; wherein,

[0026] A frame cover 3 is detachably assembled on the battery frame body 1; a matching plate assembly 2 is assembled on the battery frame body 1, and the matching plate assembly 2 is at least partially arranged on the top of the battery frame body 1 along the horizontal direction, and the matching plate assembly 2 is used to fit and clamp with the frame cover 3.

[0027] It is worth mentioning that the applicant has found that since the batteries are mostly installed externally on large trucks and other vehicles, the staff often use the battery frame as a support point when getting on and off the vehicle or transferring and unloading goods. This makes the battery frame often subject to irregular forces in the horizontal or vertical direction. This irregular force continuously shakes the connection and locking mechanism between the battery frame body 1 and the frame cover 3, which can easily cause its failure. In severe cases, the frame cover 3 will fall off, which not only causes personnel safety problems, but also makes the battery unprotected. The matching plate assembly 2 in the present application fits and clamps with the frame cover 3 in the horizontal direction, which can stably alleviate the shaking of the battery frame, and can also provide an opposite relief force when the frame cover 3 is stepped on and has a tendency to slide in the horizontal direction. Avoid it directly confronting the connection and locking mechanism between the two. The above-mentioned horizontal direction is the plane direction of the normal forward and left and right directions of the car.

[0028] Specifically, Figure 1As shown in the first perspective view, the mating plate assembly 2 includes a mating plate 21 and a connecting member 22. The mating plate 21 is provided with a plurality of protruding structures on the front surface, and the protruding structures are used to clamp with the frame cover 3. The back surface of the mating plate 21 is connected to the battery frame body 1 through the connecting member 22. Preferably, the protruding structures on the mating plate 21 include a plurality of edges arranged at intervals.

[0029] It is worth noting that in the present application, multiple protrusion structures are used for clamping, rather than adding a locking mechanism to achieve buffering and prevent the frame cover 3 from falling off. This is set up because: adding a locking mechanism will increase the complexity of using the battery frame and is not conducive to the use of operators. Secondly, the locking mechanism structure is relatively complex and is easily damaged after being frequently impacted by shaking forces as mentioned above. Of course, in the present application, the mating plate assembly 2 can also use a mating surface with strong friction to prevent the frame cover 3 from falling off.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the connecting member 22 includes: a connecting frame 221 and at least two supporting parts 222;

[0031] A connecting frame 221 is assembled on two inner side surfaces of the battery frame body 1 ; at least two supporting parts 222 are assembled on the connecting frame 221 and connected to the back side of the matching plate 21 to support the matching plate 21 .

[0032] Furthermore, for the purpose of material saving and lightweight setting, the above-mentioned connecting frame 221 is of hollow design. The connecting frame 221 is connected and fixed to the inner side of the battery frame body 1. The supporting portion 222 is connected to the back of the matching plate 21 and supports the matching plate 21 to cope with the vertical pressing force applied to the frame cover 3 and the matching plate 21 by stepping on. This also provides a safety protection measure for the battery below. Even if the frame cover 3 falls off due to external force, heavy objects will not fall directly on the battery.

[0033] In some other specific embodiments, the battery frame body 1 includes: two side plates 11 and a bottom plate 13 arranged at intervals; wherein,

[0034] A baffle assembly 4 is provided between the two side panels 11 , and a locking portion 12 is provided on the opposite surfaces of the two side panels 11 , and the locking portion 12 is used to lock with the frame cover 3 ; a bottom plate 13 is connected to the bottom ends of the two side panels 11 .

[0035] It is worth noting that the locking portion 12 may be a buckle structure to facilitate disassembly and opening. The bar assembly 4 includes a front bar 41 and a rear bar 42, which cooperate with the bottom plate 13 to accommodate the battery 5. It is understandable that due to the limited horizontal space of the car, the length direction of the battery can be arranged in the vertical direction to save the horizontal space of the car.

[0036] Preferably, a buffer bushing 131 is laid on the bottom plate 13. The buffer bushing 131 is arranged at the bottom of the lithium battery to better alleviate the impact of the lithium battery due to collision, extend the service life of the lithium battery, and save maintenance costs.

[0037] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the battery, the frame cover 3 is L-shaped as a whole, so that there is more space for tools to use when installing the lithium battery.

[0038] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the frame cover 3 includes: a top cover portion 31, which is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the top cover portion 31 is used to fit and clamp with the matching plate assembly 2; a front cover portion 32, which is connected to the top cover portion 31, and the front cover portion 32 is connected to the side plate 11 through the locking portion 12.

[0039] In some embodiments, at least one receiving groove 132 is provided on the bottom plate 13, and the receiving groove 132 is used to be clamped with the battery 5. The receiving groove 132 is used to install the battery 5 of the lithium battery. In this application, the battery 5 is installed vertically to save space in the horizontal direction.

[0040] On the other hand, the present application provides a car, which includes: a battery frame, which includes: a battery frame body 1, a frame cover 3 and a matching plate assembly 2; wherein,

[0041] A frame cover 3 is detachably assembled on the battery frame body 1; a matching plate assembly 2 is assembled on the battery frame body 1, and the matching plate assembly 2 is at least partially arranged on the top of the battery frame body 1 along the horizontal direction, and the matching plate assembly 2 is used to fit and clamp with the frame cover 3.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that the applicant has found that since the batteries are mostly installed externally on large trucks and other vehicles, the staff often use the battery frame as a support point when getting on and off the vehicle or transferring and unloading goods. This causes the battery frame to be often subjected to irregular forces in the horizontal or vertical direction. This irregular force continuously shakes the connection and locking mechanism between the battery frame body 1 and the frame cover 3, which can easily cause it to fail. In severe cases, the frame cover 3 will fall off, which not only causes personnel safety problems, but also makes the battery unprotected. The matching plate assembly 2 in the present application fits and clamps with the frame cover 3 in the horizontal direction, which can stably alleviate the shaking of the battery frame, and can also provide an opposite relief force when the frame cover 3 is stepped on and has a tendency to slide in the horizontal direction. Avoid direct confrontation with the connection and locking mechanism between the two.

[0043] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown in the first perspective view, the mating plate assembly 2 includes a mating plate 21 and a connecting member 22. The mating plate 21 is provided with a plurality of protruding structures on the front surface, and the protruding structures are used to clamp with the frame cover 3. The back surface of the mating plate 21 is connected to the battery frame body 1 through the connecting member 22. Preferably, the protruding structures on the mating plate 21 include a plurality of edges arranged at intervals.

[0044] It is worth noting that in the present application, multiple protrusion structures are used for clamping, rather than adding a locking mechanism to achieve buffering and prevent the frame cover 3 from falling off. This is set up because: adding a locking mechanism will increase the complexity of using the battery frame and is not conducive to the use of operators. Secondly, the locking mechanism structure is relatively complex and is easily damaged after being frequently impacted by shaking forces as mentioned above. Of course, in the present application, the mating plate assembly 2 can also use a mating surface with strong friction to prevent the frame cover 3 from falling off.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the connecting member 22 includes: a connecting frame 221 and at least two supporting parts 222;

[0046] A connecting frame 221 is assembled on two inner side surfaces of the battery frame body 1 ; at least two supporting parts 222 are assembled on the connecting frame 221 and connected to the back side of the matching plate 21 to support the matching plate 21 .

[0047] Furthermore, for the purpose of material saving and lightweight setting, the above-mentioned connecting frame 221 is of hollow design. The connecting frame 221 is connected and fixed to the inner side of the battery frame body 1. The supporting portion 222 is connected to the back of the matching plate 21 and supports the matching plate 21 to cope with the vertical pressing force applied to the frame cover 3 and the matching plate 21 by stepping on. This also provides a safety protection measure for the battery below. Even if the frame cover 3 falls off due to external force, the heavy object will not fall directly on the battery.

[0048] In some other specific embodiments, the battery frame body 1 includes: two side plates 11 and a bottom plate 13 arranged at intervals; wherein,

[0049] A baffle assembly 4 is provided between the two side panels 11 , and a locking portion 12 is provided on the opposite surfaces of the two side panels 11 , and the locking portion 12 is used to connect with the frame cover 3 ; a bottom plate 13 is connected to the bottom ends of the two side panels 11 .

[0050] It is worth noting that the locking portion 12 may be a buckle structure to facilitate disassembly and opening. The bar assembly 4 includes a front bar 41 and a rear bar 42, which cooperate with the bottom plate 13 to accommodate the battery 5. It is understandable that due to the limited horizontal space of the car, the length direction of the battery can be arranged in the vertical direction to save the horizontal space of the car.

[0051] Preferably, a buffer bushing 131 is laid on the bottom plate 13. The buffer bushing 131 is arranged at the bottom of the lithium battery to better alleviate the impact of the lithium battery due to collision, extend the service life of the lithium battery, and save maintenance costs.

[0052] It is understandable that, in order to facilitate the disassembly and installation of the battery, the frame cover 3 is L-shaped as a whole, so that there is more space for tools to use when installing the lithium battery.

[0053] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the frame cover 3 includes: a top cover portion 31, which is arranged in the horizontal direction, and the top cover portion 31 is used to fit and clamp with the matching plate assembly 2; a front cover portion 32, which is connected to the top cover portion 31, and the front cover portion 32 is connected to the side plate 11 through the locking portion 12.

[0054] Specifically, the top cover portion 31 is connected to the front cover portion 32 to form an L shape, and the front cover portion 32 is detachably connected to the locking portion 12 and is fitted with the front end surfaces of the two side panels 11, and the top cover portion 31 is fitted with the top surfaces of the two side panels 11.

[0055] In some embodiments, the vertical lithium battery frame of the present application has an outer width of 380mm, which is 235mm narrower than the outer width of 615mm of the traditional horizontal battery frame. The fuel tank capacity can be expanded by about 115L, and compared with the traditional battery frame, a rubber bushing is added inside to better protect the lithium battery, extend the service life of the lithium battery, and save maintenance costs.

[0056] Specifically, at least one storage slot 132 is provided on the bottom plate 13, and the storage slot 132 is used to be clamped with the battery 5. The storage slot 132 is used to install the battery 5 of the lithium battery. In this application, the battery 5 is installed vertically to save space in the horizontal direction. And the volume of the fuel tank is larger to ensure the endurance of the vehicle.

[0057] In summary, the applicant of the present invention has found in the course of work that, since the battery frame is often set outside, personnel often step on the battery frame when loading the vehicle. In the long run, it is easy to cause the frame cover to slip and fall off, resulting in the battery in the battery frame being exposed to the outside and losing protection. Therefore, in the present application, a matching plate is provided between the battery frame and the frame cover to prevent the frame cover from slipping with the battery frame body, thereby effectively reducing the damage or falling of the frame cover connection structure. On the other hand, the battery frame of the present application adopts a vertical installation for the battery to provide more air for the installation of the fuel tank in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the endurance of the vehicle.
