[0038] The present invention provides a cylindrical lithium battery module structure.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 6 In an embodiment of the present invention, a cylindrical lithium battery module structure includes:

[0040] A first housing 10, wherein the first housing 10 is provided with a positioning assembly 11, and the positioning assembly 11 forms a first accommodating space 12;

[0041] A second shell 20, wherein the second shell 20 is provided with a limiting assembly 21, wherein the limiting assembly 21 forms a second accommodating space 22, and the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are detachably connected;

[0042] When the first housing 10 is connected to the second housing 20, the first accommodating space 12 and the second accommodating space 22 define a mounting cavity;

[0043] The battery cell module 30 is disposed in the installation cavity, and the positioning component 11 and the limiting component 21 are disposed around the outer periphery of the battery cell module 30 to limit the battery cell module 30 in the installation cavity.

[0044] The invention application scheme discloses a cylindrical lithium battery module, which forms a complete shell by the cooperation of the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, and fixes the internal battery module 30 by the positioning component 11 and the limiting component 21. The first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are detachably connected to form a closed space for accommodating the battery module 30. The positioning component 11 and the limiting component 21 are respectively arranged on the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, and their function is to ensure that the battery module 30 is accurately placed and fixed in the installation cavity formed by the first accommodating space 12 and the second accommodating space 22. It can ensure that there is enough contact area between the battery module 30 and the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, which is conducive to the heat transfer from the battery to the shell by heat conduction. Reasonable structural design helps to dissipate heat, thereby improving the overall performance and service life of the battery module. Since the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 can be easily connected and separated, the installation and replacement of the battery module 30 becomes simple and quick. Furthermore, by accurately fixing the battery cell module 30 through the positioning component 11 and the limiting component 21, safety problems caused by displacement or vibration of the battery during use can be effectively prevented. This design allows the battery cells to be arranged more compactly, thereby achieving a higher energy density in a limited space. Such a design not only ensures the stability and reliability of the battery module, but also facilitates production and maintenance, and the cylindrical lithium battery module can effectively dissipate heat, thereby ensuring the stable operation and long-term reliability of the battery module. It is understandable that the battery cell module 30 is in close contact with the shell through the positioning component 11 and the limiting component 21, and the shell acts as a heat sink to conduct heat from the battery cell to the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20, and then dissipates heat from the first shell 10 and / or the second shell 20 to the environment. It is understandable that there are small gaps between the first shell 10 and the second shell 20, which can serve as channels for air flow, facilitate air flow, help dissipate heat through natural convection or forced ventilation, and help heat dissipation through air convection. It is understandable that both the first shell 10 and the second shell 20 are made of materials with good thermal conductivity (such as aluminum alloy, etc.) so as to quickly conduct heat from the battery core to the external environment.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 6In the embodiment of the present invention, the first housing 10 comprises a first bottom plate 13, a first side wall 14 and a second side wall 15 arranged on opposite sides of the first bottom plate along a first direction, and a third side wall 16 and a fourth side wall 17 arranged on opposite sides of the first bottom plate along a second direction, wherein the first direction intersects with the second direction;

The first positioning member 111, the second positioning member 112 and the third positioning member 113 work together to ensure that the battery module 30 can be accurately positioned at a predetermined position during installation to avoid displacement due to vibration or movement during use. These positioning members not only play a positioning role, but also provide additional support to keep the battery module 30 stable in all directions. Through the combination of these positioning members, the range of motion of the battery module 30 can be effectively limited to ensure that its position inside the module does not change. Ensure that the battery module 30 can be accurately placed at a predetermined position inside the first shell 10 during installation. The support and restriction of the positioning assembly 11 improves the structural stability of the entire module.

Specifically, the first ribs 132 can increase the overall rigidity of the first bottom plate 13 to prevent deformation when subjected to pressure or impact. And the first ribs 132 increase the surface area of ​​the first bottom plate 13, which helps the conduction and diffusion of heat, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. By increasing the surface area of ​​the first bottom plate 13, the first ribs 132 help improve the heat conduction efficiency, thereby reducing the operating temperature of the battery module. Compared with the overall thick bottom plate, this design with ribs can reduce weight while ensuring structural strength, which helps to reduce material costs. The first bottom plate 13 not only provides a stable support platform, but also improves the overall performance and reliability of the battery module by increasing structural strength and improving heat dissipation capacity. It is understood that the first ribs 132 are in a straight line, parallel or perpendicular to the edge of the first bottom wall 131.
