[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example: Reference Figure 1-6The diagram shows a new energy marine power battery pack mounting assembly, including an outer casing 1 and a piston cylinder 8. Multiple support feet 2 are mounted on the bottom side of the outer casing 1. The top side of the outer casing 1 is hollowed out, and an inner casing 3 is mounted on the inner wall of the bottom side of the outer casing 1 via multiple support columns 18. A uniform gap is provided between the inner wall of the outer casing 1 and the outer wall of the inner casing 3. A battery body 6 is mounted inside the inner casing 3 via a fixing assembly. A sealing plate 5 is mounted on the top side of the inner casing 3, sealing the battery body 6 within the inner casing 3. Multiple mounting holes are provided on the peripheral wall of the inner casing 3, and heat-conducting plates 4 are mounted thereon. One end of the heat-conducting plate 4 is located inside the inner casing 3 and... The outer side wall of the battery body 6 is in contact with the outer side wall, and the other end is located in the gap between the outer casing 1 and the inner casing 3. A fixing arm 9 is installed on the outer side wall of the piston cylinder 8. A fixing plate 10 is installed at one end of the fixing arm 9. An air inlet pipe 11 and an air outlet pipe 7 are installed at the top of the piston cylinder 8. One end of the air outlet pipe 7 is installed on the bottom side wall of the outer casing 1 and communicates with the gap between the outer casing 1 and the inner casing 3. A one-way air outlet valve 21 is installed in the air outlet pipe 7. A one-way air inlet valve 20 is installed in the air inlet pipe 11. A piston plate 19 is slidably installed in the piston cylinder 8. A floating block 17 is installed on one side of the piston plate 19 through the piston rod 12.

[0029] Based on the above structure, the outer casing 1 is fixed inside the ship by the support feet 2, the battery body 6 is installed inside the inner casing 3 and sealed by the sealing plate 5 to protect the battery body 6, and the heat generated by the battery body 6 can be transferred to the gap between the outer casing 1 and the inner casing 3 through the heat conduction plate 4. The piston cylinder 8 is installed on the outer side wall of the ship by the fixing plate 10, and the piston cylinder 8 is above the water surface. The float 17 is in contact with the water surface. When the ship is on the sea, the float 17 rises and falls with the waves and moves back and forth along the piston cylinder 8 under the action of inertia. When the piston plate 19 moves upward along the piston cylinder 8, the air inlet pipe 11... Under the action of the one-way air intake valve 20, the gas is closed, and at the same time the one-way air outlet valve 21 is opened. The gas in the piston cylinder 8 enters the outer casing 1 through the air outlet pipe 7 and dissipates heat on the heat-conducting plate 4. When the piston plate 19 moves downward along the piston cylinder 8, the air outlet pipe 7 is closed under the action of the one-way air outlet valve 21, and at the same time the one-way air intake valve 20 is opened. External air enters the piston cylinder 8 through the air intake pipe 11. This process is repeated, and the piston cylinder 8 continuously makes the gas flow to the outer casing 1 and dissipates heat on the heat-conducting plate 4, thereby continuously dissipating heat on the battery body 6. This utilizes natural conditions to dissipate heat on the battery body 6 and reduces energy consumption.

[0030] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, the fixing component includes multiple limiting blocks 24. Two sliding holes are opened on two corresponding inner sidewalls of the inner housing 3. The limiting blocks 24 are slidably installed in the corresponding sliding holes. A pushing unit is installed at one end of the limiting block 24. The bottom side of the limiting block 24 matches the top side of the battery body 6. With the setting of the limiting block 24, the limiting block 24 can slide along the sliding hole under the action of the pushing unit. After the battery body 6 is installed into the inner housing 3, the limiting block 24 slides to the top side of the battery body 6, forming a limiting effect on the battery body 6, thereby fixing the battery body 6.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the pushing unit includes a short spring 27. A limiting disk 30 is installed at one end of the limiting block 24, and a sliding rod 28 is installed at one end of the limiting disk 30. A fixed cylinder 25 is correspondingly installed on the inner side wall of the outer casing 1. One end of the sliding rod 28 slides and matches the inner side wall of the fixed cylinder 25. The short spring 27 is sleeved on the sliding rod 28. One end of the short spring 27 is installed on one side of the limiting disk 30, and the other end is installed on one end of the fixed cylinder 25. Through the setting of the short spring 27, the elastic force of the short spring 27 pushes the limiting block 24 to slide towards one side of the battery body 6, realizing the pushing effect. The limiting block 24 stops sliding under the action of the limiting disk 30, realizing the limiting. The sliding rod 28 can slide along the fixed cylinder 25, so that the limiting block 24 can move more smoothly.

[0032] like Figure 6 As shown, a synchronizing rod 29 is installed between the two limiting discs 30 located on the same side. A pull block 26 is installed on one side of the synchronizing rod 29. The synchronizing rod 29 allows the two limiting blocks 24 located on the same side to move synchronously. The pull block 26 facilitates the limiting blocks 24 to move in the opposite direction and separate from the battery body 6.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, a chamfer is provided at one end of the limiting block 24 away from the synchronizing rod 29. With the chamfer, one side of the battery body 6 contacts the chamfer during the process of entering the inner box 3. As it moves downward, it pushes the limiting block 24 to move automatically to both sides, increasing the ease of use.

[0034] like Figure 4 and 5As shown, multiple sets of limiting plates 22 are installed on the inner side wall of the inner box 3, and multiple positioning strips 23 are correspondingly installed on the outer side wall of the battery body 6. The positioning strips 23 are located between two adjacent limiting plates 22, and the two sides of the positioning strips 23 match one side of the corresponding limiting plate 22. Through the setting of the limiting plates 22, a fixed gap is formed between two adjacent limiting plates 22, and the positioning strips 23 slide into the corresponding fixed gap to achieve positioning.

[0035] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a stabilizing sleeve 15 is installed at the bottom end of the piston cylinder 8 via multiple brackets 14. The piston rod 12 slides and matches the stabilizing sleeve 15. An auxiliary reset unit is installed at the bottom end of the stabilizing sleeve 15. By setting the stabilizing sleeve 15, the piston rod 12 can move more smoothly along the axial direction of the piston cylinder 8, and the piston plate 19 can slide smoothly.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary reset unit includes a long spring 13, which is sleeved on the piston rod 12. A flange 16 is installed on one end of the piston rod 12 near the floating block 17. One end of the long spring 13 is installed on the bottom side of the stabilizing sleeve 15, and the other end is installed on the top side of the flange 16. The long spring 13 facilitates the rapid reset of the floating block 17.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing arm 9 is a hollow tube, and one end of the air outlet pipe 7 passes through the hollow tube. The advantage of this arrangement is that the air outlet pipe 7 is not exposed, and the fixing arm 9 can provide a certain degree of protection for the air outlet pipe 7.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet pipe 11 is a U-shaped bend, and the openings at both ends of the U-shaped bend are set downwards. The advantage of this setting is that it can greatly reduce the probability of seawater entering the air inlet pipe 11, thereby preventing seawater from entering the outer casing 1 through the air inlet pipe 11 and piston cylinder 8, which is beneficial to the protection of the battery body 6.

[0039] Working principle of this invention:

[0040] The outer casing 1 is fixed inside the ship by support feet 2. The battery body 6 is installed inside the inner casing 3 and sealed by a sealing plate 5, which protects the battery body 6. The heat generated by the battery body 6 can be transferred to the gap between the outer casing 1 and the inner casing 3 through the heat-conducting plate 4. The piston cylinder 8 is installed on the outer side wall of the ship by a fixing plate 10, and the piston cylinder 8 is above the water surface. The float 17 is in contact with the water surface. When the ship is on the sea, the float 17 rises and falls with the waves and moves back and forth along the piston cylinder 8 under the action of inertia. When the piston plate 19 moves upward along the piston cylinder 8, the air inlet pipe 11 enters in one direction. When the gas valve 20 is closed, the one-way exhaust valve 21 is opened, and the gas in the piston cylinder 8 enters the outer casing 1 through the exhaust pipe 7 and dissipates heat on the heat-conducting plate 4. When the piston plate 19 moves downward along the piston cylinder 8, the exhaust pipe 7 is closed under the action of the one-way exhaust valve 21, and the one-way intake valve 20 is opened, and external air enters the piston cylinder 8 through the intake pipe 11. This process is repeated, and the piston cylinder 8 continuously causes the gas to flow to the outer casing 1 and dissipate heat on the heat-conducting plate 4, thereby continuously dissipating heat on the battery body 6. This utilizes natural conditions to dissipate heat on the battery body 6 and reduces energy consumption.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
