DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention provide a frame chassis and a vehicle to solve the problems in the related art that the rear battery box is arranged as a whole above the frame, resulting in a high center of gravity of the whole vehicle, which has an adverse effect on the handling stability of the whole vehicle, and the battery boxes are distributed on both sides of the frame, the wiring is dispersed, and the overall battery space is limited by the wheelbase of the whole vehicle, the power is generally low, and it is difficult to meet the long-range demand.

[0040] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a frame chassis, which may include: two frame longitudinal beams 11 arranged in parallel; a battery box 2, wherein the battery box 2 is arranged at the bottom of the frame longitudinal beam 11, and two parallel grooves are opened on the top of the battery box 2 in the length direction of the frame longitudinal beam 11, and the two grooves are respectively used to accommodate one frame longitudinal beam 11 (that is, the grooves are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the frame longitudinal beam 11, and each frame longitudinal beam 11 is at least partially accommodated in the corresponding groove), so that the battery box 2 is at least partially located below the frame longitudinal beam 11, and the space below the frame longitudinal beam 11 is fully utilized; The battery box 2 is at least partially located between the inner sides of the two frame longitudinal beams 11, and at least partially located on the outer sides of the two frame longitudinal beams 11; the outer sides here should be understood as the left and right sides of the two frame longitudinal beams 11, that is, the left side of the frame longitudinal beam 11 on the left side of the vehicle is partially provided with the battery box 2, or the right side of the frame longitudinal beam 11 on the right side of the vehicle is partially provided with the battery box 2, or the left side of the left frame longitudinal beam 11 and the right side of the right frame longitudinal beam 11 are partially provided with the battery box 2; the connecting mechanism 3 fixes the frame longitudinal beam 11 and the battery box 2. Among them, the battery box 2 has sealing and waterproof functions.

[0041] Specifically, the volume of the battery box 2 is constrained at the bottom of the frame chassis 1, and at the inner side of the two frame longitudinal beams 11 and the outer side of the two frame longitudinal beams 11, so as to improve the space utilization rate below the frame chassis 1, so that the space above the frame chassis 1 is completely provided as a cargo loading area, thereby increasing the cargo volume of the whole vehicle and improving the loading and transportation efficiency of the vehicle; at the same time, constraining the battery box 2 at the bottom of the frame chassis 1 can lower the center of gravity of the whole vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the whole vehicle's control and the safety of the whole vehicle; secondly, it also increases the number of battery modules installed in the battery box 2, thereby increasing the overall power, which is beneficial to meeting the long-range requirements; thirdly, it reduces the space occupied by the battery box 2 in the length direction of the whole vehicle, which is beneficial to controlling the wheelbase of the whole vehicle and reducing the turning radius of the vehicle.

[0042] Among them, the cross-sectional height dimension of the battery box 2 can be set to the maximum according to the height of the vehicle from the ground, and the front and rear span dimensions can be set to the minimum according to the power requirements of the vehicle and the space requirements of the frame chassis 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, the top surface of the battery box 2 is not higher than the top surface of the frame longitudinal beam 11. The battery box 2 does not exceed the frame chassis 1 in height, and the space above the frame chassis 1 is fully provided for cargo loading, which is beneficial to increase the cargo capacity of the whole vehicle.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the portion of the battery box 2 located outside the two frame longitudinal beams 11 may be higher than the height of the frame chassis 1 , thereby occupying part of the space on the frame chassis 1 to increase the battery capacity of the battery box 2 .

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the battery box 2 located on the inner side of the two frame longitudinal beams 11 may also be higher than the height of the frame longitudinal beams 11 and remain level with the height of the battery box 2 on both outer sides of the frame longitudinal beams 11, thereby reducing the loading space above the frame chassis 1 and increasing the battery capacity of the battery box 2 on the frame chassis 1.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the number of the connecting mechanisms 3 is at least two, and the two connecting mechanisms 3 correspond to the two grooves of the battery box 2 one by one and are located in the corresponding grooves. Each of the connecting mechanisms 3 includes: a mounting seat 31, the mounting seat 31 is fixed in the groove of the battery box 2; a mounting ear plate 32, the mounting ear plate 32 is fixed to the frame longitudinal beam 11 in the groove; and a pin shaft 33, the pin shaft 33 passes through the mounting seat 31 and the mounting ear plate 32 in sequence to fix the battery box 2 on the two frame longitudinal beams 11. Specifically, when the jacking assembly is performed, the mounting seat 31 on the battery box 2 is slowly moved up. When the mounting ear plate 32 is located inside the mounting seat 31, and the pin hole of the mounting ear plate is coaxial with the pin hole of the mounting seat 31, the pin shaft 33 is inserted at this time to lock and complete the assembly, so that the battery box 2 can be quickly replaced to replace the new battery box 2, which solves the problem that the traditional method can only charge the battery box 2 slowly, which wastes a lot of waiting time and cannot achieve a fast replacement operation.

[0047] Among them, setting the connecting mechanism 3 in the two grooves of the battery box 2 can further fully utilize the space in the frame chassis 1, further increase the battery capacity of the battery box 2, and reduce the space occupancy rate of the connecting mechanism 3.

[0048] When installing the battery box 2, the battery box 2 is moved to the bottom of the frame chassis 1 by an external transporter, and the battery box 2 is slowly lifted up by the lifting device on the transporter, so that the mounting seat on the battery box 2 is positioned with the mounting ear plate 32 on the frame longitudinal beam 11, and then the installation of the battery box 2 is completed by the pin shaft 33, which solves the problem that the traditional device is installed on the top of the frame chassis 1 or on both sides of the frame chassis 1 by hoisting, and there is a collision between the battery box 2 and the frame chassis 1 during hoisting, causing damage to the battery box 2 or the frame chassis 1. The installation operation is convenient and safe. Among them, the installation and maintenance process of the battery box 2 adopts a vertical path to achieve overall installation and disassembly maintenance below the frame chassis 1.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the connection mechanisms 3 in each groove can be arranged in four to eight groups to improve the stability of the battery box 2 installed on the two frame longitudinal beams 11. Specifically, there is no specific limit on the number of connection mechanisms 3, and the number of connection mechanisms 3 is actually determined according to the length of the battery box 2.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper half of the cross section of the pin 33 is a trapezoid. The upper half of the cross section of the pin 33 refers to the height direction of the vehicle body. Specifically, the cross section of the pin 33 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the narrow end of the isosceles trapezoid faces upward, so that the three planes of the pin 33 are all subjected to force on the weight of the battery box 2, and its inclined surface is subjected to force, which increases the force area and the force direction, ensuring the left-right centering of the battery box 2, and can constrain its freedom of rotation on the horizontal plane to achieve the left-right centering of the battery box 2, parallel to the frame longitudinal beam 11; solve the problem that the stress of the traditional circular axle pin is concentrated in the vertical direction and the force is tangent to the line contact, and avoid the problems of excessive stress on the axle pin and easy wear of the contact line under force.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the lower half of the cross-section of the pin 33 may also be a trapezoid, so that the overall cross-section of the pin 33 is roughly diamond-shaped, but the top and bottom of the pin 33 are both flat (that is, the cross-section of the pin 33 is two inverted trapezoids). Similarly, the two inclined surfaces and the top surface of the upper and lower halves of the pin 33 are subjected to force, which increases the force-bearing area and the force direction, ensures the left-right centering of the battery box 2, and can constrain its freedom of rotation in the horizontal plane, so as to achieve the left-right centering of the battery box 2 and be parallel to the frame longitudinal beam 11, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection of the connecting mechanism 3.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, the cross-sectional corners of the pin shaft 33 are rounded to facilitate the limiting and guiding of the pin shaft 33 and the pin holes on the mounting seat 31 and the mounting ear plate 32 .

[0053] In some optional embodiments, the upper half of the cross-section of the pin shaft 33 is a right-angled trapezoid, and the inclined surfaces of the pin shaft 33 in the two grooves are in opposite directions, with the inclined surface of one pin shaft 33 facing the left and the inclined surface of the other pin shaft 33 facing the right. When the battery box 2 is fixed to the mounting seat 31 and the mounting ear plate 32 by the pin shaft 33, the problem that the stress of the traditional circular pin shaft is concentrated on the same axis and the circular pin shaft is easily damaged due to excessive force is solved.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 5 and 6As shown, the connection mechanism 3 may include: a cross bar 34; two connection brackets 35, the two connection brackets 35 correspond to the opposite ends of the cross bar 34 one by one, and are fixed to the corresponding end of the cross bar 34, and the other ends of the two connection brackets 35 are fixed to one of the frame longitudinal beams 11, so that the connection brackets 35 and the cross bar 34 enclose a receiving space for receiving the battery box 2. Among them, a cross bar 34 and two connection brackets 35 are used to form a receiving space for installing the battery box 2, so that the battery box 2 can be firmly fixed on the two frame longitudinal beams 11, and its structure is simple and the design is reasonable.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, each of the connecting brackets 35 is L-shaped, and the vertical section and the bent section of each of the connecting brackets 35 are detachably connected. The connecting bracket 35 can be assembled with two rods, so that when the connecting mechanism 3 faces battery boxes 2 of different sizes, it only needs to replace its vertical section or bent section accordingly to meet the changes in the height or width of the battery box 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the cross bar 34 and the two connecting brackets 35 form a set of fixed components 1. In the length direction of the frame longitudinal beam 11, the connecting mechanism 3 includes multiple groups of fixed components 1 arranged at intervals, and multiple groups of fixed components 1 are fixed with multiple longitudinal bars 36 arranged at intervals. Specifically, the longitudinal bars 36 are embedded in the top of the cross bar 34 that fixes each fixed component 1. The connecting mechanism 3 includes multiple groups of fixed components 1, which can improve the firmness of the battery box 2 during installation. At the same time, multiple longitudinal bars 36 are fixed to multiple groups of fixed components 1, so that the connection between multiple groups of fixed components 1 is more firm, ensuring the reliability of the connecting mechanism 3.

[0057] In some optional embodiments, the side walls of the connecting bracket 35 of the multiple sets of fixing components can also be fixedly connected by a rod, so as to further improve the structural strength of the connecting mechanism 3. When the battery box 2 collides, the connecting mechanism 3 can provide good protection for the battery box 2 therein.

[0058] In some optional embodiments, in the length direction of the frame longitudinal beam 11, the positions of the two sets of fixing components located at the front end and the rear end slightly exceed the front and rear boundaries of the battery box 2, thereby reducing the space occupied by the connecting mechanism 3 on both sides of the frame.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6As shown, two frame cross beams 12 are fixedly arranged between the frame longitudinal beams 11, and the battery box 2 is at least partially located between the two frame cross beams 12; the connecting mechanism 3 includes: two connecting skeletons 37, in the length direction of the frame longitudinal beam 11, the two connecting skeletons 37 are spaced apart on the opposite sides of the battery box 2, one end of the two connecting skeletons 37 is respectively fixed to one of the cross bars 34, and the other end thereof is respectively fixed to one of the frame cross beams 12. The connecting skeleton 37 is L-shaped, the bending section of the connecting skeleton 37 is fixed to the bottom of the cross bar 34, and the vertical section thereof is fixed to the frame cross beam 12, so that the connecting mechanism 3 is also connected and installed with the frame cross beam 12, and the stability of the installation of the battery box 2 is further improved.

[0060] In some optional embodiments, in the length direction of the vehicle body, the front connecting skeleton 37 and the rear connecting skeleton 37 fix the bottom of the corresponding frame cross beam 12, reducing the occupation of the internal space of the frame chassis 1 by the connecting mechanism 3, and further reducing the occupation of the internal space of the frame chassis 1 by the connecting mechanism 3.

[0061] In some optional embodiments, the connecting frame 37 may also be fixed to the side wall of the frame crossbeam 12 .

[0062] In some embodiments, the two connecting skeletons 37 are a set of fixed components 2. In the length direction of the frame crossbeam 12, the connecting mechanism 3 includes multiple sets of fixed components 2 arranged at intervals, and a connecting rod 38 is fixed between any two adjacent sets of fixed components 2. The connecting rod 38 connects the two adjacent connecting skeletons 37 to improve the stability of the supporting connection of the two connecting skeletons 37.

[0063] In some optional embodiments, the cross bar 34, the connecting bracket 35, the longitudinal bar 36, the connecting frame 37 and the connecting rod 38 constitute a connecting mechanism 3, and a layer of protective cloth can be wrapped and installed on the outer wall of the connecting mechanism 3 to protect the battery box 2 in the connecting mechanism 3. The protective cloth is made of fireproof material.

[0064] Furthermore, the cross bar 34, connecting bracket 35, longitudinal bar 36, connecting frame 37 and connecting rod 38 are all arranged with a hollow structure, so that the connecting mechanism 3 can collapse and absorb energy when facing a collision, absorb and buffer part of the impact energy, ensure that the battery box 2 is subjected to less impact energy, prevent the battery pack in the battery box 2 from colliding and catching fire, and greatly improve the safety of the battery box 2.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and 2As shown, a cab lower component 4 is installed at the front of the chassis 1 and below the cab, wherein the cab lower component 4 includes an electric control power distribution system and a front cooling system. An electric drive system 5 is installed at the rear of the chassis 1, wherein the electric drive system 5 may include an electric drive axle module, a wheel hub motor axle module or a motor gearbox traditional axle module. The chassis 1 is in the form of an electric drive axle module, and is installed with the first connection mechanism 3, i.e., the first electric truck provided in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the frame chassis 1 is in the form of a conventional motor-gearbox bridge module, and is installed with a second type of connecting mechanism 3, i.e., the second type of electric truck provided in the embodiment of the present invention.
