Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of heat dissipation of electronic devices, and in particular to a server and an air guide cover thereof. Background Art
[0002] The battery box of the existing server needs to first install a protective shell, wherein the protective shell covers the top wall and the surrounding side walls of the battery box, and then the battery box with the protective shell installed is installed as a whole on the air duct. Therefore, installing the battery box on the air duct requires two steps, the first step is to pre-assemble the protective shell with the battery box, and the second step is to install the battery box with the protective shell installed as a whole on the air duct. The protective shell of the battery box itself occupies the internal space of the air duct, which increases the production cost. Moreover, the installation process has an additional pre-assembly step, which reduces production efficiency and increases labor costs. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a server and an air guide cover thereof, which can omit the battery box protective shell to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0004] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an air guide hood, which includes a substrate, a box body and a limiting hook, the box body includes a cover plate, the cover plate is connected to the substrate, a battery compartment is formed in the box body, the battery compartment is used to store a battery box, the battery compartment has an open end, the limiting hook is provided on one end of the box body adjacent to the open end, and the limiting hook is used to limit the battery box accommodated in the battery compartment.
[0005] Therefore, since the battery box in the prior art needs to be pre-installed with a protective shell first, the protective shell covers the side walls and top walls of the battery box, and the outer dimensions of the battery box with the protective shell installed are larger than the outer dimensions of the battery box itself. In the present application, the battery box itself does not need to be installed with a protective shell. When the battery box is accommodated in the battery compartment of the box body of the air duct, the cover plate 110 used to form the battery compartment is used to limit and protect the battery box, playing the role of the protective shell in the prior art. The protective shell used to limit and protect the battery box in the prior art can be omitted, saving the space occupied by the protective shell itself, making the size of the battery compartment in the length direction of the air duct smaller, and providing more space for the arrangement of other components of the air duct in the length direction. At the same time, since the protective shell is omitted, the material cost and production assembly cost of installing the protective shell for the battery box can be reduced, the assembly line of the server can be shortened, and the assembly efficiency of the server can be improved.
[0006] In comparison, in combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the box body also includes a bottom plate, a first side plate and a second side plate, the bottom plate is arranged opposite to the cover plate, the first side plate and the second side plate are opposite to each other, and the first side plate, the bottom plate, the second side plate and the cover plate are combined to form the battery compartment; the limiting hook is fixed to at least one of the first side plate, the bottom plate, the second side plate and the cover plate.
[0007] Thus, the shape of the battery compartment is adapted to the shape of the battery box, and the battery compartment can limit the battery box in the length direction and height direction of the air scoop. The limiting hook is fixed to at least one of the first side plate, the bottom plate, the second side plate and the cover plate, and the limiting hook can position the battery box in the width direction of the air scoop.
[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the limiting hook includes a cantilever and a hook portion, one end of the cantilever is fixed to the first side plate, the bottom plate, the second side plate or the cover plate, and the hook portion is fixed to the other end of the cantilever, the cantilever is arranged in accordance with the insertion and removal direction of the battery box, and the hook portion is used to clamp the battery box for limiting.
[0009] Therefore, when it is necessary to release the engagement between the hook and the battery box, the cantilever can be moved toward the side away from the battery box so that the hook is away from the battery box, thereby releasing the engagement between the hook and the battery box. At this point, the battery box can be pulled out of the battery compartment. After the battery box is pulled out, the limit hook is reset under the elastic restoring force of the cantilever. Therefore, this limit hook can not only prevent the battery box from sliding out of the battery compartment, but also facilitate the removal of the battery box.
[0010] In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, a first notch is provided on the cover plate at a position corresponding to the position of the limiting hook, and the first notch exposes a portion of the battery box and at least a portion of the limiting hook.
[0011] Thus, the first notch can expose part of the battery box and at least part of the limit hook, making it convenient to operate the limit hook, and can solve the problem that the space corresponding to the limit hook in the battery compartment is too small, making it inconvenient to operate the limit hook.
[0012] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, a second notch is provided on the bottom plate adjacent to the first side plate, and the second notch connects the inside and outside of the battery compartment in the height direction of the air guide cover to form a wire groove to allow the power line to pass through and connect to the battery box.
[0013] Thus, compared to the prior art solution, in which the wire trough and the battery box are arranged in the length direction of the substrate, in the present application, the wire trough and the battery compartment are arranged in the height direction, which can save the size of the air guide cover in the length direction and provide more space for the arrangement of other electronic components in the length direction of the substrate of the air guide cover.
[0014] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the wire groove is located on one side of the battery compartment, and the limiting hook is located on the other side of the battery compartment.
[0015] Therefore, the wire groove and the limit hook are arranged at intervals, which is convenient for wiring and operation of the limit hook.
[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, the air guide cover also includes a limit plate, which is fixed in the battery compartment, the limit plate is a stop plate of the battery compartment, and the limit plate and the limit hook are respectively used to limit the battery box at opposite ends of the battery box.
[0017] Therefore, the limiting plate can further limit the battery box at the end of the battery box away from the limiting hook.
[0018] In combination with the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the limiting plate is connected to at least one of the bottom plate, the first side plate, the second side plate and the cover plate.
[0019] Therefore, the limiting plate can not only serve as a stop plate for limiting, but also support the bottom plate, the first side plate, the second side plate and the cover plate, so that the overall structural strength of the air guide cover is enhanced.
[0020] In combination with the first aspect, in certain implementations of the first aspect, a third notch is provided on the limiting plate, and the third notch communicates with the inside and outside of the battery compartment.
[0021] Therefore, when the battery box needs to be taken out from the battery compartment, a thrust force can be applied to the battery box through the third notch to push it out of the battery compartment, and a force can be applied to the limit hook to make the limit hook contact and lock the battery box, so that the battery box can be pushed out of the battery compartment. In addition, since the third notch connects the inside and outside of the battery compartment, the third notch can also play a role in heat dissipation and ventilation of the battery box in the battery compartment.
[0022] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a server, comprising an air guide hood and a battery box, wherein the air guide hood is the air guide hood described in the first aspect, and the battery box is installed in the battery compartment of the air guide hood, and the battery box is a backup power supply for the server.
[0023] Therefore, since the battery box in the prior art needs to be pre-installed with a protective shell first, the protective shell covers the side walls and top walls of the battery box, and the outer dimensions of the battery box with the protective shell installed are larger than the outer dimensions of the battery box itself. In contrast, in the present application, the battery box itself does not need to be installed with a protective shell. When the battery box is accommodated in the battery compartment of the box body of the air duct, the substrate used to form the battery compartment is used to limit and protect the cover of the battery box, playing the role of the protective shell in the prior art. The protective shell used to limit and protect the battery box in the prior art can be omitted, saving the space occupied by the protective shell itself, making the size of the battery compartment in the length direction of the air duct smaller, and providing more space for the arrangement of other components in the length direction of the air duct. At the same time, since the protective shell is omitted, the material cost and production assembly cost of installing the protective shell for the battery box can be reduced, shortening the assembly line of the server, and improving the assembly efficiency of the server.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a server 1000 in an embodiment of the present application. The server 1000 includes a chassis 100, a hard disk 200, a fan 300, a CPU 400, an air duct 1, a battery box 2, a mainboard 500 and a power supply 600. Figure 1 The length direction of the chassis 100 is the L direction, and the width direction of the chassis 100 is the W direction. The hard disk 200, the fan 300 and the motherboard 500 are arranged in the chassis 100 along the L direction. The CPU 400 and the power supply 600 are respectively installed on the motherboard 500. The air duct 1 is located above the motherboard 500 and covers the side of the motherboard 500 close to the fan 300 along the L direction, so that the CPU 400 is located below the air duct 1. The battery box 2 is installed in the air duct 1. The battery box 2 is connected to the motherboard 500 and connected to the power supply 600 through the motherboard 500. When the server 1000 is working, the power supply 600 can charge the battery box 2. When the power supply 600 is suddenly powered off, the battery box 2 can be used as a backup power supply to supply power to the motherboard 500. The chassis 100 is provided with heat dissipation holes connecting the inside and outside of the chassis 100 at least on one side close to the motherboard 500 in the L direction. The air duct 1 is provided with an air duct along the L direction. The fan 300 blows air to accelerate the hot air in the chassis 100 and discharge it from the ventilation holes of the chassis 100 after passing through the air scoop 1. Therefore, the air scoop 1 can guide the air flow direction in the server 1000 to achieve the purpose of rapid heat dissipation and temperature reduction.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the air guide cover 1 and the battery box 2 in the first embodiment of the present application at one viewing angle; Figure 3 for Figure 2 Enlarged schematic diagram at A. For the convenience of description, the definition Figure 2The length direction of the air scoop 1 is the X-axis direction, the width direction is the Y-axis direction, and the height direction is the Z-axis direction. The words "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "front", "back" and so on used in describing the air scoop 1 in the embodiment of the present application are based on the drawings in the specification. Figure 2 The description of the directions shown in the figure, with the positive direction of the Z axis as "top", the negative direction of the Z axis as "bottom", the negative direction of the X axis as "left", the positive direction of the X axis as "right", the positive direction of the Y axis as "front", and the negative direction of the Y axis as "back", does not constitute a limitation on the actual application scenario of the air duct 1. It can be understood that Figure 2 The air guide hood 1 is installed on Figure 1 When the chassis 100 is in Figure 2 The middle air guide hood 1 rotates approximately 90 degrees clockwise so that Figure 2 The X-axis direction of the middle air guide cover 1 is Figure 1 The width directions W of the middle chassis 100 are parallel.
[0046] In some embodiments, the air guide cover 1 includes a base plate 11, a box body 12 and a limit hook 13. The box body 12 includes a cover plate 110. Figure 2 As shown, for the box body 12 located on the left side of the air scoop 1, the cover plate 110 is the area where the dotted line D1 and the dotted line D2 intersect and are located in front of the dotted line D1 and the area on the left side of the dotted line D2. For the box body 12 located on the right side of the air scoop 1, the cover plate 110 is the area where the dotted line D1 and the dotted line D2 intersect and are located in front of the dotted line D1 and the area on the right side of the dotted line D2. The cover plate 110 is connected to the substrate 11. Please refer to Figure 3 The box body 12 forms a battery compartment 101, and the battery compartment 101 is used to store the battery box 2. The battery compartment 101 has an open end 1011 (such as Figure 4 As shown), the limiting hook 13 is disposed on one end of the box body 12 adjacent to the opening end 1011 , and the limiting hook 13 is used to limit the battery box 2 accommodated in the battery compartment 101 .
[0047] Thus, since the battery box in the prior art needs to be pre-installed with a protective shell first, the protective shell covers the side walls and top walls of the battery box, and the size of the battery box 2 installed with the protective shell in the X-axis direction is larger than the size of the battery box itself in the X-axis direction. In contrast, in the present application, the battery box 2 itself does not need to be installed with a protective shell. When the battery box 2 is accommodated in the battery compartment 101, the cover 110 of the box body 12 is used to limit and protect the battery box 2, playing the role of the protective shell in the prior art. The protective shell used to limit and protect the battery box 2 in the prior art can be omitted, saving the space occupied by the protective shell itself, making the size of the battery compartment 101 in the X-axis direction of the air guide cover 1 smaller, providing more space for the arrangement of other components of the air guide cover 1 in the X-axis direction. At the same time, since the protective shell is omitted, the material cost and production assembly cost brought by the protective shell can be reduced, the assembly line of the server 1000 can be shortened, and the assembly efficiency of the server 1000 can be improved.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer again to Figure 4 , Figure 4 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the decomposition of the air guide cover 1 and the battery box 2. The substrate 11 is in the shape of a flat plate. The substrate 11 includes a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 that are arranged opposite to each other along the Z-axis direction. In some embodiments, the first surface 111 is the top surface of the substrate 11, and the second surface 112 is the bottom surface of the substrate 11. The box body 12 is fixed on the second surface 112 of the substrate 11. In other embodiments, the box body 12 can be fixed on the first surface 111 of the substrate 11, which is not limited here.
[0049] In some embodiments, the box body 12 is disposed on one side of the substrate 11 in the X-axis direction, that is, the box body 12 is disposed on the left or right side of the substrate 11 in the X-axis direction. In other embodiments, the box body 12 is disposed at other suitable positions of the substrate 11, which is not limited here.
[0050] For some examples, please refer to Figure 4 There are two box bodies 12, and the two box bodies 12 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the substrate 11 in the X-axis direction. The area of the substrate 11 between the two box bodies 12 is used to arrange other electronic components. In other embodiments, there are one or more box bodies 12, which is not limited here.
[0051] Therefore, the box body 12 can be arranged at a proper position of the substrate 11 in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction according to actual needs, so as to facilitate the arrangement of other electronic components in the air guide cover 1.
[0052] For some examples, please refer to Figure 4The box body 12 is arranged at the front side of the substrate 11 in the Y-axis direction. The box body 12 is located at the front end of the air guide cover 1 in the Y-axis direction. Therefore, the air guide cover 1 has a part of space at the rear end of the box body 12, which can be used to arrange other electronic components.
[0053] For some examples, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The box body 12 further includes a bottom plate 123, a first side plate 121 and a second side plate 122. The bottom plate 123 is arranged opposite to the cover plate 110, the first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122 are arranged opposite to each other, the second side plate 122 connects the cover plate 110 and one end of the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121 connects the other end of the cover plate 110, and the first side plate 121, the bottom plate 123, the second side plate 122 and the cover plate 110 are enclosed together to form a battery compartment 101. The shape of the battery compartment 101 is adapted to the shape of the outer wall of the battery box 2, so when the battery box 2 is stored in the battery compartment 101, the battery compartment 101 can limit the battery box 2 in the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction.
[0054] In some embodiments, the limiting hook 13 is disposed on one end of at least one of the first side plate 121, the bottom plate 123, the second side plate 122 and the cover plate 110 that is located in the Y-axis direction and is adjacent to the open end 1011. In the first embodiment, the limiting hook 13 is disposed on one end of the second side plate 122 that is adjacent to the open end 1011 in the Y-axis direction.
[0055] Therefore, the limiting hook 13 can limit the battery box 2 in the Y-axis direction.
[0056] For some examples, please refer to Figure 3 In the first embodiment, the limit hook 13 is disposed on one side of the second side plate 122 in the Y-axis direction. The wire 21 of the battery box 2 is located on one end of the battery box 2 adjacent to the opening end 1011 and adjacent to the first side plate 121. Therefore, the limit hook 13 is located on one side of the battery compartment 101, and the wire 21 of the battery box 2 is located on the other side of the battery compartment 101.
[0057] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 The limiting hook 13 includes a cantilever 131 and a hook portion 132. One end of the cantilever 131 extends from one end of the second side plate 122 adjacent to the open end 1011. The hook portion 132 is fixed to the other end of the cantilever 131. The cantilever 131 is arranged along the plugging and unplugging direction of the battery box 2, and the plugging and unplugging of the battery box 2 is parallel to the Y-axis direction. The cantilever 131 has a certain elastic deformation ability and recovery ability after elastic deformation. The hook portion 132 is clamped on the end face of the battery box 2 in the Y-axis direction, which can play a limiting role.
[0058] Therefore, when it is necessary to release the clamping connection between the hook portion 132 and the battery box 2, the cantilever 131 can be pulled along the X-axis direction to the side away from the battery box 2, so that the hook portion 132 is away from the battery box 2, thereby releasing the clamping connection between the hook portion 132 and the battery box 2. At this time, the battery box 2 can be taken out of the battery compartment 101. After the battery box 2 is taken out, the limit hook 13 is reset under the action of the elastic restoring force of the cantilever 131.
[0059] In some embodiments, please refer again to Figure 3 A clearance space 133 is provided at the position of the air guide cover 1 corresponding to the cantilever 131, and the clearance space 133 allows the cantilever 131 to have movement space when elastically deforming.
[0060] For some examples, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The cover plate 110 is provided with a first notch 1113 at a position corresponding to the position-limiting hook 13. The first notch 1113 exposes a portion of the battery box 2 and at least a portion of the position-limiting hook 13.
[0061] Therefore, the first notch 1113 can make the operation of the limit hook 13 more convenient, solving the technical problem that it is inconvenient to operate the limit hook 13 because the space in the battery compartment 101 is too small.
[0062] For some examples, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 for Figure 2 A schematic cross-sectional view at VI-VI; Figure 7 for Figure 4 A second notch 1211 is disposed on the bottom plate 123 adjacent to the first side plate 121, and the first side plate 121 is suspended at a position corresponding to the second notch 1211. The second notch 1211 connects the inside and outside of the battery compartment 101 in the Z-axis direction of the air scoop 1, thereby forming a wire groove for the power line 21 to pass through and connect with the battery box 2.
[0063] In the prior art, the wire trough and the battery box are arranged in the X-axis direction of the air duct 1, that is, they are arranged side by side on the same horizontal plane. In the present application, the wire trough and the battery compartment 101 are arranged in the Z-axis direction, that is, they are arranged in the height direction, which can save the size of the air duct 1 in the X-axis direction, that is, the length direction, and provide more space for the arrangement of other electronic components.
[0064] For some examples, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 for Figure 4Schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the air guide cover in another perspective. The air guide cover 1 further includes a limit plate 14, and the limit plate 14 is fixed in the battery compartment 101. The limit plate 14 serves as a stop plate for the battery compartment 101. The limit plate 14 and the limit hook 13 are respectively used to limit the relative two ends of the battery box 2 in the Y-axis direction.
[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 wherein the limit plate 14 is connected to at least one of the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121, the second side plate 122, and the cover plate 110.
[0066] In the first embodiment, the limit plate 14 is simultaneously connected to the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121, the second side plate 122, and the cover plate 110.
[0067] Thus, the limit plate 14 can not only play a role in limiting, but also play a role in supporting the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121, the second side plate 122, and the cover plate 110, enhancing the overall structural strength of the air guide cover 1.
[0068] In some embodiments, a third notch 141 is provided on the limit plate 14, and the third notch 141 communicates the inside and outside of the battery compartment 101 in the Y-axis direction. It can be understood that the third notch 141 can be in any suitable shape and is not limited herein.
[0069] Thus, when it is necessary to take out the battery box 2 from the battery compartment 101, a thrust for pushing the battery box 2 out of the battery compartment 101 can be applied to the battery box 2 through the third notch 141 on one side, and a force can be applied to the limit hook 13 on the other side to release the clamping between the limit hook 13 and the battery box 2, so that the battery box 2 can be pushed out of the battery compartment 101. In addition, since the third notch 141 communicates the inside and outside of the battery compartment 101 in the Y-axis direction, the third notch 141 can also play a role in heat dissipation and ventilation.
[0070] In the first embodiment, since the limit plate 14 is simultaneously connected to the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121, the second side plate 122, and the cover plate 110, and moreover, the third notch 141 is provided on the limit plate 14, the limit plate 14 is generally in the shape of a "hui" character. In other embodiments, the limit plate 14 can generally be in the shape of a "concave" character or other shapes, which are not limited herein.
[0071] Please refer to Fig. 9 Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of the limit plate in another embodiment of the present application. The limit plate 14 is connected to the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121, and the second side plate 122, but is not connected to the cover plate 110. Thus, a third notch 141 is formed between the limit plate 14 and the cover plate 110.
[0072] Please refer to Fig.10 Fig.10 Schematic diagram of a limiting plate in another embodiment of the present application. The limiting plate 14 is connected to the bottom plate 123 and the cover plate 110, but is not connected to the first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122, so that a third notch 141 is formed between the first side plate 121 and the limiting plate 14, and another third notch 141 is formed between the limiting plate 14 and the second side plate 122.
[0073] Please refer to Fig.11 , Fig.11 Schematic diagram of a limiting plate in another embodiment of the present application. The limiting plate 14 is connected to the first side plate 121 and the second side plate 122, but is not connected to the cover plate 110 and the bottom plate 123, so that a third notch 141 is formed between the limiting plate 14 and the cover plate 110, and another third notch 141 is formed between the limiting plate 14 and the bottom plate 123.
[0074] It is understandable that there are many ways to form the third notch 141 between the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121, the second side plate 122, the cover plate 110 and the limiting plate 14, and the above are only examples and cannot be exhaustive. In short, the limiting plate 14 can connect one, two, three or all of the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121, the second side plate 122 and the cover plate 110, and form the third notch 141 in the area enclosed by the bottom plate 123, the first side plate 121, the second side plate 122 and the cover plate 110, except for the space occupied by the limiting plate 14, which is not limited here.
[0075] For some examples, please refer to Figure 4 , the air guide cover 1 also includes an air guide channel 15, which is arranged with the box body 12 in the X-axis direction, and the air guide channel 15 is arranged adjacent to the box body 12. The air guide channel 15 can guide air in the Y-axis direction to achieve the purpose of promoting air flow for heat dissipation. The fan 300 blows air to accelerate the hot air in the chassis 100 and discharge it from the ventilation holes of the chassis 100 after passing through the air guide channel 15 of the air guide cover 1. When the air guide cover 1 is installed in the chassis 100, the air guide channel 15 is located above the motherboard 500, so that the CPU 400 is located in the air guide channel 15 of the air guide cover 1. Since the CPU 400 generates relatively more heat, the CPU 400 is located in the air guide channel 15 of the air guide cover 1 to increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the CPU 400. Moreover, a connecting channel is provided between the battery compartment 101 of the box body 12 and the air guide channel 15, so the air guide channel 15 can also increase the heat dissipation effect in the battery box 2.
[0076] In some embodiments, the air duct 1 is an integral plastic part and is integrally injection molded. In other embodiments, the air duct 1 is assembled from a plurality of plastic parts. In still other embodiments, the air duct 1 can be made of one or more of hard materials such as plastic, thermally conductive ceramics, steel, and fiberglass, which are not limited here.
[0077] Please refer to Fig.12 and Fig.13 , Fig.12 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the air guide cover and the battery box in the second embodiment of the present application at one viewing angle; Fig.13 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the air guide cover in the second embodiment of the present application.
[0078] The structure of the air scoop 1 in the second embodiment is similar to that of the air scoop 1 in the first embodiment, except that, in the second embodiment, the limiting hook 13 is fixed on one end of the first side plate 121 in the Y-axis direction adjacent to the open end 1011, that is, the first side plate 121 itself extends along the Y-axis direction, and the limiting hook 13 extends from the front side of the second side plate 122 along the Y-axis direction. It can be understood that, since the limiting hook 13 needs to be fixed on the first side plate 121, the size of the first side plate 121 in the second embodiment in the Y-axis direction is shorter than that of the first side plate 121 in the first embodiment. In other words, the sum of the sizes of the first side plate 121 and the limiting hook 13 in the Y-axis direction in the second embodiment is approximately equal to the size of the first side plate 121 in the Y-axis direction in the first embodiment. Therefore, the overall size of the air scoop 1 in the Y-axis direction will not be increased due to the setting of the limiting hook 13 on the first side plate 121.
[0079] In the second embodiment, the wire 21 of the battery box 2 is disposed adjacent to the first side plate 121. Therefore, the limiting hook 13 and the wire 21 of the battery box 2 are located on the same side of the battery box 2. Moreover, the limiting hook 13 and the wire 21 of the battery box 2 need to be spaced a certain distance apart to facilitate operation.
[0080] In the second embodiment, since the limiting hook 13 is disposed on the first side plate 121, the first side plate 121 is located on the outside farther from the center of the air scoop 1 than the second side plate 122. Therefore, when there are two box bodies 12, the first side plates 121 of the two box bodies 12 are located on the left side of the left box body 12 and on the right side of the right box body 12, respectively.
[0081] Therefore, when the battery box 2 needs to be taken out, the limiting hook 13 is pulled outward in the X-axis direction so that the limiting hook 13 is released from the battery box 2, and the battery box 2 can be taken out.
[0082] Please refer to Fig.14 and Fig.15 , Fig.14This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the air guide cover and the battery box in the third embodiment of the present application at one viewing angle; Fig.15 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the air guide cover in the third embodiment of the present application.
[0083] The structure of the air guide cover 1 in the third embodiment is similar to that of the air guide cover 1 in the first embodiment, except that, in the third embodiment, the limiting hook 13 is disposed on one end of the cover plate 110 adjacent to the opening end 1011 in the Y-axis direction, that is, the cover plate 110 itself extends along the Y-axis direction, and the limiting hook 13 extends from the front side of the cover plate 110 along the Y-axis direction. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the limiting hook 13 is located above the battery box 2.
[0084] Therefore, when the battery box 2 needs to be taken out, the limiting hook 13 is pulled upward in the Z-axis direction to release the engagement between the limiting hook 13 and the battery box 2, and the battery box 2 can be taken out.
[0085] Please refer to Fig.16 and Fig.17 , Fig.16 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the air guide cover and the battery box in the fourth embodiment of the present application at one viewing angle; Fig.17 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the air guide cover in the fourth embodiment of the present application.
[0086] The structure of the air guide cover 1 in the fourth embodiment is similar to that of the air guide cover 1 in the first embodiment, except that, in the fourth embodiment, the limit hook 13 is disposed on one end of the bottom plate 123 adjacent to the open end 1011. It should be noted that, since the limit hook 13 needs to be provided with a cantilever 131, the position corresponding to the limit hook 13 below the bottom plate 123 needs to be provided to avoid air, so that when the battery box 2 needs to be taken out, the limit hook 13 is pressed down so that the highest position of the limit hook 13 is flush with the surface of the bottom plate 123, and the battery box 2 can be taken out.
[0087] It should be noted that the above four configurations of the limit hook 13 each have their own characteristics, and one or more of them can be selected according to actual needs, which is not limited here.
[0088] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents.
