[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 A housing assembly 100 of an embodiment of the present application is used for an energy storage power supply 200. The housing assembly 100 includes a housing 110, at least four connecting posts 150, and at least four fasteners 160.
[0045] The housing 110 includes a first shell 120, a second shell 130, and a shell part 140. The shell part 140 is formed with a first opening 141 and a second opening 142. The first shell 120 covers the first opening 141. The second shell 130 covers the second opening 142.
[0046] The at least four connecting posts 150 are arranged around the side wall of the shell part 140. The connecting posts 150 extend from the side where the first opening 141 is located to the side where the second opening 142 is located. The outer side wall of the shell part 140 is recessed 111 to form a holding space 143. At least one connecting post 150 is arranged in the holding space 143.
[0047] The fastener 160 is inserted through the first shell 120, the corresponding connecting post 150 and the second shell 130 to fix the first shell 120 and the second shell 130 to the shell member 140.
[0048] The shell assembly 100 is fixed by the fastener 160 inserted through the first shell 120, the connecting post 150 and the second shell 130, the first shell 120 is fixedly covered on the first opening 141, and the second shell 130 is fixedly covered on the second opening 142, so that the connection mode of the overall structure of the shell 110 is simplified, the connecting post 150 located in the holding space 143 can also be held by the user to facilitate carrying, and the reliability of the energy storage power supply 200 is improved.
[0049] In Figure 1 A1 direction corresponds to the top direction of the shell assembly 100, A2 direction corresponds to the bottom direction of the shell assembly 100, A3 direction corresponds to one side of the shell assembly 100, A4 direction corresponds to the other side of the shell assembly 100, A5 direction corresponds to the opening direction of the first opening 141, and A6 direction corresponds to the opening direction of the second opening 142.
[0050] Two connecting posts 150 are located on one side close to the A3 direction, and the other two connecting posts 150 are located on one side close to the A4 direction. The two connecting posts 150 on one side close to the A3 direction are respectively located at the top and bottom of the shell assembly 100. The two connecting posts 150 on one side close to the A4 direction are respectively located at the top and bottom of the shell assembly 100.
[0051] The plurality of connecting posts 150 distributed at different positions of the shell assembly 100 are arranged on the side wall of the shell member 140 around the A5 direction and the A6 direction. One end of the connecting post 150 is located on one side of the shell member 140 close to the A5 direction, and the other end of the connecting post 150 is located on one side of the shell member 140 close to the A6 direction, so that the connecting post 150 extends from the first opening 141 to the second opening 142.
[0052] For the shell 110, the shell member 140 can be arranged around the A5 direction and the A6 direction, and the first opening 141 can be formed along the A5 direction, and the second opening 142 can be formed along the A6 direction. The first shell 120 can cover the first opening 141 on one side of the shell member 140 close to the A5 direction, and the second shell 130 can cover the second opening 142 on one side of the shell member 140 close to the A6 direction, so that the shell 110 forms a whole enclosed structure and can serve as a shell of the energy storage power supply 200.
[0053] The shell member 140 is arranged around the A5 direction and the A6 direction, so that the inner side wall of the shell member 140 is located on the inside of the surrounding, and the outer side wall of the shell member 140 is located on the outside of the surrounding. Part of the outer side wall of the shell member 140 can be inwardly recessed 111 to form the holding space 143.
[0054] For the fastener 160, the first shell 120, the corresponding connecting post 150 and the second shell 130 can be sequentially penetrated, or the second shell 130, the corresponding connecting post 150 and the first shell 120 can be sequentially penetrated, so as to fix the first shell 120 and the second shell 130 on the shell component 140, and cover the first shell 120 on the first opening 141 and cover the second shell 130 on the second opening 142. The fastener 160 can include a screw and a nut. The screw can penetrate from the first shell 120 to the second shell 130, and the nut can be threadedly connected with the part of the screw exposed from the second shell 130 on the second shell 130, so as to realize the fastening of the fastener 160 on the first shell 120 and the second shell 130.
[0055] The A5 direction can be the front direction of the shell assembly 100, and the A6 direction can be the back direction of the shell assembly 100. The first shell 120 can be connected as a front shell on the front side of the shell component 140, and the second shell 130 can be connected as a back shell on the back side of the shell component 140.
[0056] The shell assembly 100 can further be provided with five or more connecting posts 150 and fasteners 160, so as to improve the connection strength of the first shell 120, the second shell 130 and the shell component 140.
[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 , the top of the shell component 140 is provided with two holding spaces 143 respectively. Each holding space 143 is provided with a connecting post 150.
[0058] In this way, it is convenient for the user to carry.
[0059] In Figure 2 , two connecting posts 150 are arranged on the top of the shell component 140 and are respectively located on the side close to the A3 direction and the side close to the A4 direction on the shell component 140. When the user carries the energy storage power supply 200, the user can hold the two connecting posts 150 respectively located in different holding spaces 143, so as to increase the effective stress area, thereby facilitating the user to carry the energy storage power supply 200.
[0060] In other cases, the shell component 140 can further be provided with at least three holding spaces 143 on the top, so as to facilitate multiple people to carry.
[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the shell assembly 100 includes a foam layer 151. The foam layer 151 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the connecting post 150 located in the holding space 143.
[0062] In this way, it is convenient for the user to hold the connecting post 150.
[0063] In Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the foam layer 151 is arranged around the outer sidewall of the connecting column 150, and the user can directly contact the foam layer 151 when holding the connecting column 150. The foam layer can have the effect of increasing the force receiving area and the friction, and can improve the stability of the user holding the energy storage power supply 200, thereby facilitating the user to hold the connecting column 150.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 1 , at least one of the first shell 120 and the second shell 130 is provided with a recess 111. The recess 111 is formed with a through hole for the fastener 160 to pass through. In the case that the fastener 160 passes through the through hole, the end of the fastener 160 can be accommodated in the recess 111.
[0065] In this way, the stability of the connecting structure of the shell 110 can be affected by the impact of the fastener 160.
[0066] In Figure 1 , for the first shell 120, the number of recesses 111 can be four. Two of the recesses 111 are located on one side close to the A3 direction, and the other two recesses 111 are located on one side close to the A4 direction. The two recesses 111 on the side close to the A3 direction are respectively located at the top and bottom of the shell assembly 100. The two recesses 111 on the side close to the A4 direction are respectively located at the top and bottom of the shell assembly 100. The case of providing the recess 111 on the second shell 130 can refer to the above description of the case of providing the recess 111 on the first shell 120, and will not be described here.
[0067] When the fastener 160 is arranged in the through hole of the recess 111, the part of the structure of the first shell 120 exposed by the fastener 160 can be accommodated in the recess 111, so that the exposed part of the fastener 160 is not easy to collide with objects other than the energy storage power supply 200, and the connecting structure between the fastener 160 and the connecting column 150 can be avoided. The impact of the connecting structure of the shell 110 affects the stability of the connecting structure of the shell 110.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 , the shell assembly 100 comprises a heat dissipation layer 170. The heat dissipation layer 170 is arranged on at least one of the first shell 120 and the second shell 130.
[0069] In this way, it is convenient to dissipate heat from the structure inside the shell 110 of the energy storage power supply 200.
[0070] It can be understood that the energy storage power supply 200 can be provided with a battery, a connecting circuit and the like in the shell 110, and the battery is easy to heat when charging and discharging. By providing the heat dissipation layer 170, heat in the shell 110 can be more easily transferred to the outside of the shell assembly 100, avoiding the occurrence of thermal runaway inside the energy storage power supply 200.
[0071] The heat dissipation layer 170 can be attached to the center position of the first shell 120 or the second shell 130, so as to uniformly dissipate heat inside the shell assembly 100. The heat dissipation layer 170 can be provided on the first shell 120, or on the second shell 130, or one heat dissipation layer 170 can be provided on the first shell 120 and the second shell 130 respectively.
[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 The connecting column 150 can be fixedly arranged in the holding space 143. For the case of fixedly arranging the connecting column 150, the connection strength between the connecting column 150 and the shell part 140 can be improved. The connecting column 150 can also detachably connect the shell part 140 on the side wall of the holding space 143. For the detachable connecting column 150, the connecting column 150 can be replaced when damaged, thereby facilitating maintenance.
[0073] On the basis of the above, the connecting column 150 can be configured according to different actual situations. The connecting column 150 in the holding space 143 can be all fixedly arranged, all detachably connected to the shell part 140, or partially fixedly arranged and partially detachably connected to the shell part 140.
[0074] In this way, the flexibility can be improved.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 The shell assembly 100 comprises a support pad 180. The support pad 180 is arranged on the bottom side of the shell part 140. The holding space 143 is located on the top side of the shell part 140.
[0076] In this way, the user can easily lift and place the energy storage power supply 200.
[0077] In Figure 1 , one support pad 180 is arranged on the bottom side of the shell part 140 and located on one side of the A3 direction, and the other support pad 180 is arranged on the bottom side of the shell part 140 and located on one side of the A4 direction, so that the two support pads 180 are arranged in a spaced manner and can cooperatively provide support for the energy storage power supply 200.
[0078] When the user needs to lift the energy storage power supply 200, the user is usually above the energy storage power supply 200, so the user can easily hold the connecting column 150 in the holding space 143 on the top of the energy storage power supply 200. When the user needs to place the energy storage power supply 200, the user can place the energy storage power supply 200 while maintaining the posture of the connecting column 150, and the support pad 180 on the bottom side of the shell member 140 can buffer the impact when the energy storage power supply 200 falls on the ground, so as to avoid damage caused by the large impact force.
[0079] Please refer to Figure 1 The side of the first shell 120 away from the shell member 140 is provided with a plurality of inclined surfaces 112. The plurality of inclined surfaces 112 are inclined from the center of the first shell 120 to the peripheral edge of the first shell 120 and are sequentially adjacent.
[0080] In this way, the impact resistance of the first shell 120 can be improved.
[0081] In Figure 1 , the plurality of inclined surfaces 112 are sequentially distributed around the A5 direction and the A6 direction on the side of the first shell 120 facing the A5 direction, so that each position of the side of the first shell 120 facing the A5 direction can form an included angle with the A5 direction. When the first shell 120 is impacted in the A6 direction, the impact force on the surface of the first shell 120 can be reduced by the inclined surface 112, the equivalent thickness of the first shell 120 can be increased, and the first shell 120 can better resist impact.
[0082] For the second shell 130, the side of the second shell 130 away from the shell member 140 can also be provided with a plurality of inclined surfaces 112, so as to improve the impact resistance of the second shell 130.
[0083] Please refer to Figure 1 The peripheral edge of the side of the first shell 120 away from the shell member 140 is protrudingly arranged on the side of the shell member 140.
[0084] In this way, the protection effect on the shell member 140 can be improved.
[0085] In Figure 3 , the side of the first shell 120 away from the shell member 140 is the side of the first shell 120 facing the A5 direction. The side of the first shell 120 away from the shell member 140 forms a peripheral edge around the A5 direction. In the case where the first shell 120 is fixedly connected to the shell member 140, the peripheral edge of the first shell 120 is protrudingly arranged relative to the side of the shell member 140.
[0086] The shell member 140 can be provided with a corresponding operation panel (not shown) on the side surface. The side surface of the shell member 140 can be any one of the side surfaces of the shell member 140 facing the A1 direction, the A2 direction, the A3 direction and the A4 direction. Since the peripheral edge of the first shell 120 protrudes from the side surface of the shell member 140, the operation panel can be configured to be recessed with respect to the first shell 120, and the first shell 120 can protect the operation panel from impact from the A5 direction.
[0087] For the second shell 130, the peripheral edge of the second shell 130 away from the side surface of the shell member 140 can also protrude from the side surface of the shell member 140, so as to protect the operation panel from impact from the A6 direction. On this basis, the first shell 120 and the second shell 130 can cooperatively protect the shell member 140, so as to improve the protection effect of the shell member 140.
[0088] Please refer to The energy storage power supply 200 according to an embodiment of the present application includes an energy storage unit 210 and the above-mentioned housing assembly 100. The housing 110 is enclosed by the first shell 120, the second shell 130 and the shell member 140 to form a receiving space 220. The energy storage unit 210 is received in the receiving space 220.
[0089] The energy storage power supply 200 described above, by means of the fastener 160 penetrating the first shell 120, the connecting column 150 and the second shell 130, the first shell 120 can be fixedly covered on the first opening 141, and the second shell 130 can be fixedly covered on the second opening 142, so that the connection mode of the overall structure of the housing 110 is simplified, and the connecting column 150 located in the holding space 143 can also be held by the user to facilitate carrying, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the energy storage power supply 200.
[0090] The energy storage power supply 200 can include an outdoor power supply. The user can use the energy storage power supply 200 outdoors.
[0091] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, those skilled in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and purposes of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
