Description

A battery fixing structure Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery mounting technology, and in particular to a battery mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] As competition in the automotive market intensifies, car manufacturers are resorting to design and process innovation to reduce costs and improve production efficiency, ensuring that their products meet both their own performance requirements and consumers' purchasing power.

[0003] For automotive lead-acid battery mounting devices, most existing models on the market use a combination of hooks and battery cover plates to secure the battery. The details are as follows: first, the battery tray is fixed to the vehicle body with bolts, then the battery is placed in the tray, and finally, the battery is secured to the battery tray using the combination of hooks and cover plates, as shown in Figure 1.

[0004] The entire installation process is inconvenient. It requires hooking the battery tray into a narrow space, without letting go, and fixing it at the same time, which consumes installation time. In addition, the whole device has a large number of parts. The whole device consists of a battery tray, battery, hook, and cover assembly (cover, pressure plate and rubber pad combination), as shown in Figure 2.

[0005] In summary, in the existing technology, the installation of storage batteries takes a long time and involves a large number of parts, which makes the entire installation process inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

A plurality of the fixing components are arrayed inside the receiving cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, the receiving groove is provided with a through hole.

[0017] Furthermore, two mounting grooves are excavated on the bottom surface of the receiving groove near the first baffle. The two mounting grooves are symmetrically arranged. The mounting grooves are connected to the annular limiting cavity. A through hole is opened in the mounting groove.

[0018] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a first bolt and a first washer, the first bolt passing through the support plate and the first washer being sleeved on the first bolt.

[0019] Furthermore, a first connecting plate is fixed to the top of the first baffle, a first connecting hole is provided on the first connecting plate, the bottom of the first connecting plate is arc-shaped so that the first connecting plate is perpendicular to the first baffle, and the two ends of the first baffle are provided with openings.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5, which show the battery fixing structure in an embodiment of the present invention, including a support plate 10, a plurality of fixing components 20, a first baffle 30, two limiting parts 40, a second baffle 50, and a connecting component 60.

[0037] The surface of the tray 10 is provided with a receiving groove 11 for placing a battery. A plurality of fixing components 20 are arrayed within the receiving groove 11. A first baffle 30 is fixed to one side of the tray 10. The first baffle 30 includes a vertical section 31 and a curved section 32. The bottom of the curved section 32 is fixed to the tray 10, and the vertical section 31 is fixed to the top of the curved section 32. Two limiting portions 40 are fixed to both ends of the first baffle 30. Each limiting portion 40 includes an overlapping first limiting plate 41 and a second limiting plate 42. The first limiting plate 41 and the first baffle 30 are integrally formed. The second limiting plate 42 is fixed on the support plate 10, and the second baffle 50 is disposed in the receiving groove 11 through the connecting component 60 and is disposed opposite to the first baffle 30. The fixing component 20 is used to fix the support plate 10, the receiving groove 11 is used to place the battery and abut against the side wall of the battery, the vertical section 31 is used to abut against one side wall of the battery, the first limiting plate 41 and the second limiting plate 42 are used to abut against the front and rear side walls of the battery, and the second baffle 50 is used to abut against the side wall of the battery away from the vertical section 31.

[0038] Understandably, the tray 10 is fixed to the vehicle by the fixing component 20, and then the battery is placed into the receiving groove 11 of the tray 10. At this time, the vertical section 31 of the first baffle 30 abuts against the side wall of the battery. In this embodiment, the curved section 32 of the first baffle 30 is elastic, so that the vertical section 31 of the first baffle 30 can effectively abut against the side wall of the battery. After the vertical section 31 of the first baffle 30 abuts against the side wall of the battery, the two first limiting plates 41 in the two limiting parts 40 abut against the front and rear side walls of the battery respectively, and the second limiting plate 42 can enhance the strength of the first limiting plate 41, so that the first limiting plate 41 abuts against the front and rear side walls of the battery respectively. The positioning plate 41 can stably abut against the front and rear side walls of the battery, and the two first limiting plates 41 are connected to the two ends of the first baffle 30, so that the first baffle 30 and the first limiting plate 41 can effectively abut against the corner of the battery, stably limiting and securing the battery. Finally, the second baffle 50 is fixed in the receiving groove 11 by the connecting component 60, so that the second baffle 50 can press against the last side wall of the battery, thereby completing the battery fixation. It is worth noting that since the receiving groove 11 is formed by digging down the support plate 10, the four sides of the support plate can initially limit the battery. When disassembling the battery, it is only necessary to remove the second baffle 50 from the receiving groove 11 by the connecting component 60, and then remove the battery from the receiving groove 11. Through the above process, the battery fixing structure is simple, reducing manufacturing costs, and providing ample operating space for battery installation and disassembly, making it easier to install and remove the battery and significantly improving assembly efficiency.

[0039] Referring to Figure 3, in this embodiment, the fixing assembly includes a first bolt 21 and a first washer 22. The first bolt 21 passes through the support plate 10, and the first washer 22 is sleeved on the first bolt 21. Through the cooperation of the first bolt 21 and the first washer 22, the support plate 10 can be fixed to the vehicle.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 6. In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 50 includes a second bolt 61, a second washer 62, and a nut 63. The second bolt 61 passes through the support plate 10 and the second baffle 50. The second washer 52 and the nut 63 are both sleeved on the second bolt 61. The second baffle 50 includes a straight section 51, a bent section 52, and two reinforcing sections 53. The straight section 51 fits into the receiving groove 11. The bent section 52 is integrally formed with the straight section 51. The bent section 52 is set at a preset angle to the straight section 51. The two ends of the reinforcing section 53 are respectively fixed to the upper surface of the straight section 51 and the side wall of the bent section 52. A protective hole 54 is provided at the top of the bent section 52.

[0041] It should be explained that through the cooperation of the second bolt 61, the second washer 52, and the nut 63, and by having the second bolt 61 pass through the straight section 51 of the second baffle 50, the second baffle 50 is fixed on the support plate 10, and the support plate 10 is fixed on the vehicle. This allows the bent section 52 to stably abut against one side wall of the battery. Furthermore, the reinforcing section 53 makes the straight section 51 and the bent section 53 of the second baffle 50 more stable, thereby improving the stability of the second baffle 50 against the battery.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3. In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the receiving groove 11 is recessed to form a receiving cavity 12 and an annular limiting cavity 13. The annular limiting cavity 13 is disposed on both sides of the receiving cavity 12. The bottom of the receiving cavity 12 is lower than the bottom of the annular limiting cavity 13. A plurality of the fixing components 20 are arrayed in the receiving cavity 12. A through hole 14 is provided on the receiving groove 11.

[0043] Understandably, since the bottom of the battery is not completely flat, the annular limiting cavity 13 can correspond to the uneven part of the bottom of the battery, so that the bottom of the battery can be stably inserted into the annular limiting cavity 13. The housing cavity 12 can also be adapted to the battery. Since the bottom of the housing cavity 12 is lower than the bottom of the annular limiting cavity 13, the battery can be inserted deeper and more effectively fixed. It is worth mentioning that the through hole 14 has a heat dissipation effect, so that the battery can be effectively cooled during use.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 4. In this embodiment, two mounting grooves 15 are excavated on the bottom surface of the receiving groove 11 near the first baffle 30. The two mounting grooves 15 are symmetrically arranged. The mounting grooves 15 are connected to the annular limiting cavity 13. A through hole 16 is opened in the mounting groove 15.

[0045] It should be explained that by inserting a fixing pin into the through hole 16 in the mounting groove 15, the tray 10 can be further fixed, so that the tray 10 can be stably installed on the car. Furthermore, by connecting the mounting groove 15 with the annular limiting cavity 13, a certain space is provided at the bottom of the battery, thereby enabling heat dissipation of the battery.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 3. In this embodiment, a first connecting plate 110 is fixedly connected to the top of the first baffle 30. A first connecting hole 111 is provided on the first connecting plate 110. The bottom of the first connecting plate 110 is arc-shaped so that the first connecting plate 110 is perpendicular to the first baffle 30. Openings 300 are provided at both ends of the first baffle 30. A second connecting plate 120 is fixedly connected to the end of the support plate 10 away from the first baffle 30. The second connecting plate 120 is perpendicular to the support plate 10. A second connecting hole 121 is provided on the second connecting plate 120. A first auxiliary baffle 130 and a second auxiliary baffle 140 are connected to the top surface of the support plate 10. The first auxiliary baffle is bent by 130. The top surface of the second auxiliary baffle 140 is inclined, and an auxiliary hole 141 is provided on the top of the second auxiliary baffle 140.

[0047] Understandably, due to the limited space inside a car, the space for installing a battery is extremely limited. To ensure the tray 10 can be stably placed inside the car, in this embodiment, the first connecting plate 110, the second connecting plate 120, the first auxiliary plate 130, and the second auxiliary plate 140, which is tilted at the top, are adapted to the car's interior space. By using fixing pins passing through the first connecting hole 111, the second connecting hole 121, and the auxiliary hole 141, the first connecting plate 110, the second connecting plate 121, and the second auxiliary plate 140 can be fixed inside the car, thus further securing the tray 10 inside the car. The first auxiliary plate 130 can be snapped into the car's structure, completing the initial fixation of the tray 10. It is worth noting that the openings 300 at both ends of the first baffle 30 can dissipate heat from the battery, thereby ensuring stable battery operation.

[0048] In summary, the battery fixing structure in the above embodiments of the present invention can fix the tray 10 to the place where the battery needs to be installed by fixing component 20. By placing the battery into the receiving groove 11 cut into the surface of the tray 10, the receiving groove 11 can initially limit the bottom side wall of the battery. Then, the first baffle 30 abuts against one side wall of the battery, and the two limiting parts 40 can abut against the front and rear side walls of the battery. The second baffle 50 is fixed in the receiving groove 11 by connecting component 60, so that the second baffle 50 can abut against the last side wall of the battery, thereby completing the fixing of the battery. When disassembling, it is only necessary to loosen the connecting component 60 so that the battery is no longer abutted by the second baffle 50, and the battery can be disassembled. Thus, the battery fixing structure makes the battery easy to install and disassemble, and the installation operation space is sufficient, which significantly improves the assembly efficiency.
