At the same time, the left and right sides of the upper part of the upper support beam 201 are respectively provided with cover plates 2011 along their length direction, and the top of the front side plate 401 or the rear side plate 403 is pressed by the cover plate 2011, so that each position of the upper support beam 201 is closely fitted with the battery frame 4, so as to facilitate the subsequent firm connection therebetween.
[0056] When each position of the upper support beam 201 is closely fitted with the battery frame 4, the front longitudinal beam 1, the front side plate 401 and the upper support beam 201, and the rear longitudinal beam 3, the rear side plate 403 and the upper support beam 201 are fixedly connected together by the cross beam assembly 5 respectively.
[0057] In this embodiment, the front longitudinal beam 1 includes two first longitudinal beams 101 symmetrically arranged with respect to the middle longitudinal beam 2, and the rear longitudinal beam 3 includes two second longitudinal beams 301 symmetrically arranged with respect to the middle longitudinal beam 2. Meanwhile, the cross beam assembly 5 includes two symmetrically arranged connecting beams 50, the connecting beam 50 includes a U-shaped portion 501, the U-shaped portion 501 includes a first side portion 5011, a second side portion 5012 and a third side portion 5013 connected in sequence, and the two connecting beams 50 in the cross beam assembly 5 are connected and fixed by at least two sets of bolt assemblies, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the connecting beams 50.
[0058] A first installation space for installing the connecting beam 50 is formed between the two first longitudinal beams 101 and the upper support beam 201, and the first installation space is a groove-shaped space surrounded by the first longitudinal beam 101, the front side plate 401 and the upper support beam 201. During actual installation, the two connecting beams 50 of the cross beam assembly 5 are respectively arranged in the two first installation spaces; wherein the first side portion 5011 is connected and fixed to the first longitudinal beam 101 by multiple bolts, the second side portion 5012 is connected and fixed to the front side plate 401 by multiple bolts, and the third side portion 5013 is connected and fixed to the upper support beam 201 by multiple bolts; the function of the connecting beam 50 located at this end of the front longitudinal beam 1 is: the first side portion 5011, the second side portion 5012, and the third side portion 5013 are used to simultaneously connect and fix the first longitudinal beam 101, the front side plate 401 and the upper support beam 201, and after the connection and fixation, the two connecting beams 50 in the cross beam assembly 5 are connected and fixed by at least two groups of bolts.
[0059] A second installation space for installing the connecting beam 50 is also formed between the two second longitudinal beams 301 and the upper support beam 201. The second installation space is a groove-shaped space surrounded by the second longitudinal beam 301, the rear side plate 403 and the upper support beam 201. In actual installation, the two connecting beams 50 of the cross beam assembly 5 are respectively arranged in the two second installation spaces; wherein the first side portion 5011 is connected and fixed to the second longitudinal beam 301 by multiple bolts, the second side portion 5012 is connected and fixed to the rear side plate 403 by multiple bolts, and the third side portion 5013 is connected and fixed to the upper support beam 201 by multiple bolts. The function of the connecting beam 50 at this end of the rear longitudinal beam 3 is: the first side portion 5011, the second side portion 5012, and the third side portion 5013 are used to simultaneously connect and fix the second longitudinal beam 301, the rear side plate 403 and the upper support beam 201, and after the connection and fixation, the two connecting beams 50 in the cross beam assembly 5 are connected and fixed by at least two groups of bolts.
[0060] The first longitudinal beam 101 and the second longitudinal beam 301 can be grooved beams respectively. When actually installed, the grooves of the two first longitudinal beams 101 are set correspondingly, and the grooves of the two second longitudinal beams 301 are also set correspondingly. When the U-shaped portion 501 is installed, the first side portion 5011 of the U-shaped portion 501 extends into the groove of the first longitudinal beam 101 or the second longitudinal beam 301, fits with the bottom of the groove, and is then fixed by multiple bolts.
[0061] It should be noted that a plurality of corresponding positioning holes are respectively provided on the first side portion 5011 of the U-shaped portion 501 and the first longitudinal beam 101 or the second longitudinal beam 301, a plurality of corresponding positioning holes are respectively provided on the second side portion 5012 and the front side plate 401 or the rear side plate 403, and a plurality of corresponding positioning holes are respectively provided on the third side portion 5013 and the upper support beam 201. When assembling the U-shaped portion 501 at this end of the front longitudinal beam 1, positioning pins are pre-assembled in all the positioning holes and then the connecting bolts are assembled to realize the positioning assembly between the connecting beam 50 and the first longitudinal beam 101, the front side plate 401, and the upper support beam 201, as well as the positioning assembly between the connecting beam 50 and the second longitudinal beam 301, the rear side plate 403, and the upper support beam 201.
[0062] Specifically, the connecting beam 50 also includes a fastening portion 502, which is connected to the first side portion 5011, the second side portion 5012 and the third side portion 5013 at the same time and is an integrally formed structure to ensure the structural strength of the connecting beam 50 itself. The connecting beam 50 as a whole can be cast in one piece. The fastening portion 502 is located under the U-shaped portion 501. The fastening portion 502 can increase the contact area between the connecting beam 50 and the battery frame 4. After the U-shaped portion 501 is fixed, a plurality of bolts are installed on the fastening portion 502 to improve the connection firmness with the battery frame 4, so that the fastening portion 502 and the battery frame 4 are connected and fixed by a plurality of bolts. A connecting portion 5021 is provided on the fastening portion 502, and the two connecting beams 50 in the crossbeam assembly 5 are connected and fixed by installing at least two groups of bolt assemblies on the two connecting portions 5021. The function of the fastening portion 502 is to increase the contact area between the connecting beam 50 and the front side plate 401 or the rear side plate 403 of the battery frame 4 and improve the connection effect therebetween. Due to the design of the connecting portion 5021, a bolt connection between the two connecting beams 50 can also be established.
[0063] The vehicle frame is integrated with the battery frame 4: The battery layout is taken into consideration when the vehicle frame is designed. The battery frame 4 is cleverly integrated into the vehicle frame rather than simply attached to the frame, thereby improving the safety and service life of the battery.
[0064] Structural reinforcements 7 are respectively arranged between the outer side of the first longitudinal beam 101 and the front side plate 401, and between the outer side of the second longitudinal beam 301 and the rear side plate 403. The structural reinforcement 7 is L-shaped, and is arranged at the corner of the first longitudinal beam 101 and the front side plate 401. One section of the structural reinforcement 7 is correspondingly attached to the outer side surface of the first longitudinal beam 101 and fixed by multiple bolts, and the other section is correspondingly attached to the outer side surface of the front side plate 401 and fixed by multiple bolts; the structural reinforcement 7 is also arranged at the corner of the second longitudinal beam 301 and the rear side plate 403. One section of the structural reinforcement 7 is correspondingly attached to the outer side surface of the second longitudinal beam 301 and fixed by multiple bolts, and the other section is correspondingly attached to the outer side surface of the rear side plate 403 and fixed by multiple bolts. Through the arrangement of multiple structural reinforcements 7, the connection strength between the front longitudinal beam 1 and the battery frame 4, and the connection strength between the rear longitudinal beam 3 and the battery frame 4 are further improved.
[0065] Therefore, the front longitudinal beam 1, the middle longitudinal beam 2 and the battery frame 4 can be fastened together through the crossbeam assembly 5, and the rear longitudinal beam 3, the middle longitudinal beam 2 and the battery frame 4 can also be fastened together. The battery frame 4 is connected to the frame longitudinal beam through the crossbeam assembly 5 to prevent the battery frame from being subjected to excessive deformation force and to protect the battery from being squeezed. The various components of the frame are gradually connected together to form an integrated structural design. This design not only improves the flexibility of the battery layout and the stability of the vehicle structure, improves the rigidity of the vehicle, but also optimizes the performance of the vehicle, making it more suitable for the application scenarios of new energy heavy-duty trucks.
[0066] The battery frame 4 adopts a three-section structural design in the horizontal direction (i.e., left and right direction), which makes the left and right arrangement of the battery more flexible, and at the same time enhances the bending and torsion resistance of the battery frame 4; the left side plate 402 and the right side plate 404 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 2, forming a unique "double-wing" connection structure, which makes the left and right layout of the battery more flexible, optimizes the battery layout, and also enhances the battery frame 4's ability to resist bending and torsion. Multiple vertical beam mounting points are considered inside the battery frame 4 to facilitate the placement of battery cells and modules to achieve efficient space utilization. The battery pack 601 and the water-cooling plate 602 are each laid out in three layers, and each layer of battery pack 601 is directly laid on a layer of water-cooling plate 602, such as Figure 5 , realize the three-layer battery layout box design, effectively utilize the internal space of the battery frame 4, increase the battery layout capacity, and enhance the endurance. In addition, by adding the structural reinforcement 7, the structural reinforcement 7 is equivalent to the reinforcement rib, which effectively enhances the structural support of the battery frame 4 and provides stronger support for the vehicle.
[0067] A through groove 2012 is provided in the center of the top surface of the upper support beam 201 along the longitudinal direction to realize the separate routing of the water circuit, the electric circuit and the gas circuit, thereby optimizing the interior space layout of the vehicle.
[0068] The entire longitudinal beam can be made of aluminum alloy. The front longitudinal beam 1, the middle longitudinal beam 2 and the rear longitudinal beam 3 are connected in sections to form an aluminum alloy frame structure, which improves the bending and torsional resistance while meeting the requirements of lightweight, and is more convenient for battery layout and driving expansion.
[0069] It should be noted that at least one first cross beam may be provided between the two first longitudinal beams 101 to improve the connection effect and installation stability therebetween; at least one second cross beam may be provided between the two second longitudinal beams 301 to improve the connection effect and installation stability therebetween.

This design adopts a three-section design of the longitudinal beam and a double-wing connection structure of the battery frame 4, integrating the battery frame 4 into the frame, effectively solving the problem of the impact of the torsion of the frame longitudinal beam on the battery pack 601. At the same time, a double-wing connection structure is used to optimize the layout of the battery and improve the stability and balance of the entire vehicle.
