[0050] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0051] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0052] In related technologies, due to the increased electrical load of vehicles, traditional single batteries can no longer meet the power needs of vehicles, thus leading to the development of dual-battery systems. However, most vehicles currently cannot be equipped with two batteries simultaneously.

[0053] Furthermore, batteries are typically located in the engine compartment, making the installation of two batteries in the same compartment quite difficult. This is especially true for most new energy vehicles, where installing even a single battery is already challenging. For example, in REEVs (Extended Range Electric Vehicles), the range extender and other components already occupy most of the engine compartment space, leaving insufficient space for two batteries. Similarly, in EVs (Electric Vehicles), the engine compartment usually includes a large storage box, again leaving insufficient space for two batteries.

[0054] In view of this, this application proposes an installation structure for a storage battery, wherein the storage battery includes at least one battery. This structure not only greatly satisfies the vehicle's power demand but also removes the battery from its traditional location (in the engine compartment), freeing up engine compartment space. The specific installation structure is described in detail below. Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an installation structure according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the mounting structure includes:

[0055] A tray 1 is disposed on the rear floor of a vehicle. The tray 1 includes a first mounting plate 11, a second mounting plate 12, and a third mounting plate 13 connecting the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12. The first mounting plate 11 and the third mounting plate 13 form a first mounting area 2, and the second mounting plate 12 and the third mounting plate 13 form a second mounting area 3.

[0056] A first limiting component is disposed around the first mounting area 2 and is used to limit the battery on the first mounting plate 11.

[0057] A second limiting component is disposed around the second mounting area 3 and is used to limit the battery on the second mounting plate 12.

[0058] To ensure the entire mounting structure remains corrosion-resistant and maintains its rigidity, this embodiment applies an electrophoretic coating to the surfaces of the tray 1, the first limiting component, and the second limiting component. After the electrophoretic coating is completed, excess electrophoretic buffer solution needs to be separated from the entire mounting structure. Therefore, this embodiment also provides a recessed platform 111 at the center of the first mounting plate 11, with an opening 1111 on the platform to allow the electrophoretic buffer solution to drain. After the electrophoretic coating is completed, the tray 1 is placed on the rear floor.

[0059] Pallet 1 can be connected to the rear floor by welding or screwing. For details, please refer to... Figure 2, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a tray according to an embodiment of this application is shown, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a side wall 6 is provided on one side of the pallet 1. The side wall 6 is welded or screwed to the rear floor, thereby placing the entire mounting structure, namely the pallet 1, and the first limiting component provided on the first mounting area 2 of the pallet 1 and the second limiting component provided on the second mounting area 3 of the pallet 1, on the rear floor. See details... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the installation structure described in an embodiment of this application on the rear floor. Figure 3 As shown, the entire mounting structure is set on the rear floor 7.

[0060] After setup, if the vehicle's power consumption is low and a single battery can meet its power needs, the battery can be limited to the first mounting plate 11 by the first limiting component, or to the second mounting plate 12 by the second limiting component. If the vehicle's power consumption is high and two batteries are required to work together, the two batteries can be installed on the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 respectively to meet the vehicle's power needs.

[0061] The two batteries can be of the same specifications or different specifications.

[0062] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple first reinforcing ribs 61 are distributed on the side wall 6. The first reinforcing ribs 61 are used to improve the stamping process performance of the side wall 6 and prevent springback.

[0063] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the third mounting plate 13 includes an inclined plate 131, which is used to connect the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12. The vertical distance from the first mounting plate 11 to the rear floor is less than the vertical distance from the second mounting plate 12 to the rear floor.

[0064] In this embodiment, the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 have a height difference and are connected by an inclined plate 131, so that the entire tray 1 is stepped.

[0065] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first limiting component includes a first flange 41, a second flange 42, and a boss 43 disposed on the first mounting plate 11. The first flange 41 and the boss 43 are disposed opposite to each other, and the second flange 42 is disposed on the contour edge of the first mounting plate 11 on the side away from the inclined plate 131.

[0066] In this embodiment, since the first flange 41 and the boss 43 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second flange 42 is arranged opposite to the inclined plate 131, the battery can be limited to prevent it from moving around in the first mounting area 3, specifically, on the first mounting plate 11.

[0067] In one alternative embodiment, both the first flange 41 and the second flange 42 are folded toward the side of the first mounting plate 11 away from the rear floor; the boss 43 protrudes toward the side of the first mounting plate 11 away from the rear floor.

[0068] The first flange 41 and the second flange 42 are each provided with a number of second reinforcing ribs to improve the rigidity of the parts and prevent deformation.

[0069] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first limiting component also includes a fixing component 44 disposed on the third mounting plate 13. The fixing component 44 includes a screw 441, which is threadedly connected to the third mounting plate 13 along the height direction. A pressure plate 442 is threadedly connected to the screw 441.

[0070] When the battery is limited on the first mounting plate 11 by the first flange 41, the second flange 42, the boss 43 and the inclined plate 131, the battery's fixation on the first mounting plate 11 will be affected if the vehicle encounters bumps or other situations. Based on this, the present application embodiment provides a fixing component 44 on the third mounting plate 13. By threading the screw 441 in the fixing component 44 to the third mounting plate 13, and threading a pressure plate 442 to the end of the screw 441 that is not connected to the third mounting plate 13, the pressure plate 442 further secures the battery on the first mounting plate 11.

[0071] The structure of screw 441 can be referred to Figure 4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of a screw according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the screw 441 includes a first end 4411 and a second end 4412. The first end 4411 is threadedly connected to the third mounting plate 13, and the second end 4412 is threadedly connected to the pressure plate 442. The thread on the first end 4411 is shorter, while the thread on the second end 4412 is longer. This allows the pressure plate 442 to move up and down along the height of the screw 441 based on the thread on the second end 4412, accommodating batteries of different specifications or heights and securing them firmly to the first mounting plate 11.

[0072] In specific implementation, in order to connect the first end 4411 to the third mounting plate 13, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, a shaded balcony 132 is provided at the middle position of the third mounting plate 13. A first mounting hole 1321 is provided on the shaded balcony 132. The fixing component 44 also includes a first nut (not shown in the figure). After the first end 4411 is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 1321, the first end 4411 can be connected to the third mounting plate 13 by tightening the first nut.

[0073] The structure of the pressure plate 442 can be referred to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a pressure plate according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the pressure plate 442 includes a pressure plate body 4421 and a connector 4422 disposed on one side of the pressure plate body 4421. The connector 4422 is used to connect the pressure plate body 4421 to the rear side pillar of the vehicle.

[0074] The pressure plate body 4421 is threadedly connected to the screw 441 on the side away from the connector 4422.

[0075] In this embodiment, the side of the pressure plate body 4421 away from the connector 4422 is threadedly connected to the second end 4412 of the screw 441. In order to connect the pressure plate body 4421 to the second end 4412, this embodiment provides a second mounting hole 4423 on the side of the pressure plate body 4421 away from the connector 4422. The fixing assembly 44 also includes a second nut. After the pressure plate body 4421 is threadedly connected to the second end 4412, tightening the second nut will connect the pressure plate body 4421 to the second end 4412.

[0076] In this embodiment, the size of the first nut is adapted to the size of the first end 4411 of the screw 441, and the size of the second nut is adapted to the size of the second end 4412 of the screw 441; that is, the sizes of the first and second nuts are adapted to the size of the screw 441. The diameter of the screw 441 is 6-10 mm, within which the screw 441 is not easily deformed. Correspondingly, the sizes of the first and second nuts are 6-10 mm.

[0077] In specific implementation, to further secure the battery to the first mounting plate 11, the pressure plate 442 also includes a third flange 4424. The third flange 4424 is disposed on the pressure plate body 4421, specifically on the side of the pressure plate body 4421 closest to the first mounting plate 11, and the third flange 4424 is disposed opposite to the screw 441. Thus, after the first flange 41, the second flange 42, and the boss 43 limit the battery to the first mounting plate 11 (the screw 441 is already connected to the third mounting plate 13), the connector 4422 is connected to the rear column of the side wall, and the third flange 4424 can fit against the upper side wall of the battery, thereby fitting the pressure plate body 4421 against the top of the battery. Then, simply connecting the pressure plate body 4421 to the screw 441 is sufficient to secure the battery to the first mounting plate 11.

[0078] The installed battery can be referred to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a battery mounted on a first mounting plate according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the battery is positioned on the first mounting plate 11 by the first flange 41, the second flange 42, and the boss 43, and then the battery is secured to the first mounting plate 11 by the fixing assembly 44. Specifically, the battery is placed in the first mounting area 3, specifically on the first mounting plate 11, with the bottom sidewall of the battery respectively in contact with the first flange 41, the second flange 42, and the boss 43. Then, the first end 4411 of the screw 441 is connected to the third mounting plate 13, and then the connector 4422 of the pressure plate 442 is connected to the rear side pillar of the vehicle. For details, please refer to... Figure 7 , Figure 7 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the connection between a pressure plate and a rear side column according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 As shown, after one end of the connector 4422 passes through the rectangular hole 81 of the rear side column 8, the side wall of the connector 4422 fits against the inner wall 82 of the rear side column 8, thereby connecting the pressure plate body 4421 to the rear side column 8. Simultaneously, the third flange 4424 of the pressure plate 442 fits against the upper side wall of the battery, and the pressure plate body 4421 fits against the top of the battery. Next, the second end 4412 of the screw 441 is connected to the pressure plate body 4421, thereby securing the battery to the first mounting plate 11.

[0079] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 A schematic diagram of another tray structure described in an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 8As shown, the second limiting component includes a first bracket 51 disposed on the third mounting plate 13, and a second bracket 52, a third bracket 53 and a fourth bracket 54 disposed on the second mounting plate 12.

[0080] The first bracket 51 is disposed opposite to the third bracket 53, and the second bracket 52 is disposed opposite to the fourth bracket 54.

[0081] In this embodiment, since the first bracket 51 and the third bracket 53 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second bracket 52 and the fourth bracket 54 are arranged opposite to each other, the battery can be limited to prevent it from moving around in the second mounting area 3, specifically, on the second mounting plate 12.

[0082] In specific implementation, the number of the first support 51, the second support 52 and the third support 53 can be set according to their actual size and the actual size of the tray 1. In this embodiment, the number of the first support 51 and the second support 52 are both 2, and the number of the third support 53 is 1.

[0083] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second mounting plate 12 includes a first side 121, a second side 122, a third side 123 and a fourth side 124. The first side 121 is opposite to the third side 123, the second side 122 is opposite to the fourth side 124, and the first side 121 is connected to the third mounting plate 13.

[0084] The second side 122 is provided with a first recessed platform 1221, which is used to install the second bracket 52; the third side 123 is provided with the third bracket 53; the fourth side 124 is provided with a second recessed platform 1241, which is used to install the fourth bracket 54, and the second recessed platform 1241 is connected to the rear floor.

[0085] The second sinking platform 1241 is connected to the rear floor by welding (spot welding, etc.) or bolting.

[0086] In this embodiment, the end of the second sinking platform 1241 away from the fourth side 124 is S-shaped.

[0087] The specific structure of the first support 51 is as follows: Figure 9 , Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first support according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the first bracket package 51 includes a first part 511 and a second part 512 connected together, the first part 511 being connected to the third mounting plate 13.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first bracket package 51 is V-shaped. After the first part 511 of the first bracket package 51 is connected to the third mounting plate 13, its second part 512 will be perpendicular to the second mounting plate 12. Thus, when the battery is placed in the second mounting area 3, specifically on the second mounting plate 12, the second part 512 will be in contact with the bottom side wall of the battery.

[0089] In specific implementation, in order to prevent installation errors, the second part 512 of the first bracket 51 is connected to the third mounting plate 13. In this embodiment of the application, a first positioning hole 5121 is provided on the second part 512.

[0090] The second part 512 is welded to the third mounting plate 13.

[0091] The specific structure of the second support 52 is referenced. Figure 10 , Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the structure of a second support according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the second bracket 52 includes a third part 521, a fourth part 522 and a fifth part 523 that are connected in sequence and smoothly transitioned, wherein the third part 521 is connected to the second mounting plate 12.

[0092] In this embodiment, the second bracket 52 is generally J-shaped. Thus, when the third part 521 of the second bracket 52 is connected to the second mounting plate 12, the battery is placed in the second mounting area 3. Specifically, on the second mounting plate 12, the fifth part 523 of the second bracket 52 is attached to the bottom side wall of the battery.

[0093] The second support 52 is also provided with a third reinforcing rib 524, which is specifically located in the middle of the fourth part 522.

[0094] In specific implementation, in order to prevent installation errors, the fourth part 522 or the fifth part 523 of the second bracket 52 is connected to the second mounting plate 12. In this embodiment of the application, a second positioning hole 5211 is provided on the third part 521.

[0095] The fifth part 523 is welded to the second mounting plate 12.

[0096] The specific structure of the third support 53 is referenced. Figure 11 , Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the structure of a third support according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 11 As shown, the third bracket 53 includes a sixth part 531, a seventh part 532 and an eighth part 533 that are connected in sequence and smoothly transitioned, wherein the sixth part 531 is connected to the second mounting plate 13.

[0097] In this embodiment, the sixth part 531 and the eighth part 533 are perpendicular to each other. Thus, when the sixth part 531 of the third bracket 53 is connected to the second mounting plate 13, the battery is placed in the second mounting area 3. Specifically, on the second mounting plate 12, the eighth part 533 of the third bracket 53 is attached to the bottom side wall of the battery.

[0098] In specific implementation, in order to prevent installation errors, the eighth part 533 of the third bracket 53 is connected to the second mounting plate 12. In this embodiment of the application, a third positioning hole 5331 is provided on the eighth part 533.

[0099] The sixth part 531 is welded to the second mounting plate 12.

[0100] The specific structure of the fourth support 54 is as follows: Figure 12 , Figure 12 A schematic diagram of the structure of a fourth support according to an embodiment of this application is shown, as follows. Figure 12 As shown, the fourth bracket 54 includes a ninth part 541 and a tenth part 542 that are connected in sequence and smoothly transitioned, wherein the ninth part 541 is connected to the second mounting plate 12.

[0101] The ninth part 541 is connected to the second recessed platform 1241 on the second mounting plate 12, and the tenth part 542 is located on the side of the ninth part 541 near the second side 122. Thus, the battery is placed in the second mounting area 3. Specifically, on the second mounting plate 12, the tenth part 542 of the fourth bracket 54 is attached to the bottom side wall of the battery.

[0102] In practice, the ninth part 541 may be connected to the second recessed platform 1241, but the tenth part 542 may be located on the side of the ninth part 541 away from the second side 122, resulting in an installation error. Therefore, this embodiment of the application also provides a fourth flange 543 on the side of the ninth part 541 away from the tenth part 542. The fourth flange 543 is fitted to the "S"-shaped end of the second recessed platform 1241, thereby preventing incorrect installation of the fourth bracket 54.

[0103] In addition, in order to improve the rigidity of the fourth support 54 and prevent its deformation, the present application embodiment also provides a fourth reinforcing rib 544 for the fourth support 54.

[0104] In this embodiment, the fourth bracket 54 is actually a pressure plate. Its function is twofold: firstly, it works with the first bracket 51, the second bracket 52, and the third bracket 53 to limit the battery on the second mounting plate 12; secondly, the fourth bracket 54 is connected to the second mounting plate 13 by screws, specifically, it is connected to the second recess 1241 of the second mounting plate 12 to secure the battery already limited on the second mounting plate 12.

[0105] First, the tenth part 542 of the fourth bracket 54 is attached to the bottom side wall of the battery that has been placed in the second mounting area 3, specifically the second mounting plate 12. Then, the ninth part 541 of the fourth bracket 54 is connected to the second recessed platform 1241, and the fourth flange 543 is attached to the "S"-shaped end of the second recessed platform 1241.

[0106] The fourth bracket 54 is connected to the second recessed platform 1241 via matching bolts and nuts. Specifically, the second recessed platform 1241 has a third mounting hole 12411 (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown), a fourth mounting hole 5411 is provided on the ninth part 541 of the fourth bracket 54 (as shown). Figure 12 As shown, the third mounting hole 12411 corresponds to the fourth mounting hole 5411. Both the third mounting hole 12411 and the fourth mounting hole 5411 are used for bolts to pass through, and both are connected to the bolts. After the third mounting hole 12411 and the fourth mounting hole 5411 are connected to the bolts, a nut suitable for the bolt is tightened. The tightness of the nut is adjusted according to the specifications of the configured battery, thereby securing the battery to the second mounting plate 12.

[0107] Among them, the installed battery refers to Figure 13 , Figure 13 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a battery mounted on a second mounting plate according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 13 As shown, in this embodiment of the application, the battery is securely mounted on the second mounting plate 12 using a first bracket 51 mounted on the third mounting plate 13, and second brackets 52, third brackets 53, and fourth brackets 54 mounted on the second mounting plate 12. Specifically, the battery is placed in the second mounting area 3, specifically on the second mounting plate 12, with the bottom sidewall of the battery respectively attached to the second part 512 of the first bracket 51, the fifth part 523 of the second bracket 52, and the eighth part 533 of the third bracket 53. Then, after the tenth part 542 of the fourth bracket 54 is attached to the bottom sidewall of the battery, the ninth part 541 of the fourth bracket 54 is connected to the second recessed platform 1241 on the second mounting plate 12. For more details, please refer to... Figure 14 , Figure 14This application shows a schematic diagram illustrating the connection between a fourth support and a second sinking platform according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 14 As shown, the second recessed platform 1241 is connected to the rear floor 7 of the vehicle, and the battery is placed on the second mounting plate 12. The tenth part 542 of the fourth bracket 54 is attached to the bottom side wall of the battery, and the ninth part 541 of the fourth bracket 54 is attached to the second recessed platform 1241 on the second mounting plate 12. The fourth flange 543 is attached to the "S"-shaped end of the second recessed platform 1241, so that the third mounting hole 12411 and the fourth mounting hole 5411 are aligned. The bolt 9 is screwed in, and after the third mounting hole 12411 and the fourth mounting hole 5411 are connected to the bolt 9, the nut (not shown in the figure) that matches the bolt 9 is screwed on. The tightness of the nut is adjusted, thereby securing the battery on the second mounting plate 12.

[0108] In practical implementation, when a single battery cannot meet the vehicle's power demand and two batteries are required to work together, the two batteries can be installed on the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 respectively, thereby meeting the vehicle's power demand. The installed batteries are shown in the reference diagram. Figure 15 , Figure 15 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of a structure in which two batteries are respectively mounted on a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, according to an embodiment of this application.

[0109] In one alternative implementation, refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 A schematic diagram of another type of tray as described in an embodiment of this application is shown, such as... Figure 16 As shown, under the premise of satisfying the stamping forming requirement, the tray 1 can integrate the first support 51, the second support 52 and the third support 53 to form an integrated forming flange structure.

[0110] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 16 As shown, the vertical distance from the first mounting plate 11 to the rear floor is equal to the vertical distance from the second mounting plate 12 to the rear floor.

[0111] In this embodiment of the application, when the tray 1 integrates the first bracket 51, the second bracket 52 and the third bracket 53 to form an integral molded flange structure, the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 are at the same height. At this time, the third mounting plate 13 is a flat plate.

[0112] Since the third mounting plate 13 is a flat plate, in this embodiment of the application, the battery is limited on the first mounting plate 11 by the first flange 41, the second flange 42, the boss 43 and the screw 441 of the fixing component 44, and then the battery is fixed on the first mounting plate 11 by the pressure plate 442 of the fixing component 44.

[0113] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second mounting plate 12 has a weight reduction hole 125.

[0114] In this embodiment, a tray 1 is provided on the rear floor 7 of the vehicle. A first mounting area 2 is formed by a first mounting plate 11 and a third mounting plate 13 on the tray 1, and a first limiting component is provided around the first mounting area 2 to limit the battery on the first mounting plate 11. Simultaneously, a second mounting area 3 is formed by a second mounting plate 12 and a third mounting plate 13 on the tray 1, and a second limiting component is provided around the second mounting area 3 to limit the battery on the second mounting plate 12. Therefore, this application allows for the installation of up to two batteries according to the actual power consumption of the vehicle, greatly satisfying the vehicle's power requirements. Furthermore, the mounting structure of this embodiment allows the battery to be moved from its traditional location (inside the engine compartment), freeing up engine compartment space.
