[0002] New energy vehicles have become an important part of the sustainable development of the vehicle industry due to their energy-saving and environmental protection advantages. With the development of new energy vehicles, people's requirements for the cruising range of new energy vehicles are also increasing. In order to meet the needs of new energy vehicles to replenish power loss in time during driving, solutions such as battery replacement and timely replenishment of power loss have emerged.
[0003] For new energy vehicles, how to reduce the cost of battery replacement is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present application provides a bracket, a bracket assembly and a vehicle, which can effectively reduce the cost of battery replacement.
[0005] This application is achieved through the following technical solutions:
[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a bracket for installation on a vehicle frame, wherein a plurality of groups of mounting parts are provided on the bracket, and each group of mounting parts is used for detachably connecting a battery.
[0007] In the above scheme, the bracket can be installed on the frame of the vehicle. By arranging multiple groups of mounting parts on the frame, the vehicle can adjust the number of batteries that need to be replaced based on different endurance requirements (that is, replace batteries on demand, for example, when the required endurance is shorter, a smaller number of batteries can be installed on the corresponding number of mounting parts in the multiple groups of mounting parts; when the required endurance is longer, a larger number of batteries can be installed on the corresponding number of mounting parts in the multiple groups of mounting parts), thereby saving the cost of additional batteries and effectively reducing the cost of battery replacement for the vehicle.
[0008] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bracket has a plurality of accommodating spaces, the plurality of accommodating spaces are arranged along a first direction, each accommodating space is used to accommodate a battery, and each accommodating space is correspondingly provided with a group of mounting parts.
[0009] In the above scheme, by arranging multiple accommodating spaces in the first direction, and each accommodating space is correspondingly provided with a group of mounting parts, each battery can be installed in the corresponding accommodating space in an orderly manner, and the batteries do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency.
[0010] According to some embodiments of the present application, the accommodation space has an opening that opens downward, and the opening is used for the battery to enter or leave the accommodation space.
[0011] In the above scheme, by providing an opening that opens downward, it is convenient for the battery to enter or leave the storage space from the bottom of the frame, which can save space above the frame and reduce the risk of interference with the vehicle and damage to the vehicle caused by the battery replacement mechanism occupying the space above the frame during battery replacement.
[0012] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portion is disposed at at least one end of the accommodating space along the first direction.
[0013] In the above solution, by arranging the mounting portion at at least one end of the accommodating space in the first direction, the connected battery can be effectively constrained in the first direction, thereby reducing the risk of battery detachment and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle.
[0014] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portions are disposed at opposite ends of the accommodating space along the first direction.
[0015] In the above solution, by arranging the mounting portion at the opposite end of the accommodating space in the first direction, the connected battery can be effectively constrained in the first direction, so that the battery is evenly stressed, the risk of battery detachment is reduced, and the driving reliability of the vehicle is improved.
[0016] According to some embodiments of the present application, the accommodating space has a first end and a second end opposite to each other along a first direction, and the mounting portion disposed at the first end and the mounting portion disposed at the second end are staggered.
[0017] In the above scheme, by staggering the mounting parts at opposite ends of the accommodating space, on the one hand, it has a fool-proof effect on the installation of the battery and reduces the risk of wrong installation of the battery; on the other hand, it has a fool-proof effect on the installation of the bracket and reduces the risk of wrong installation of the bracket.
[0018] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portions at one end of two adjacent accommodating spaces close to each other are staggered.
[0019] In the above scheme, when replacing the battery, multiple battery replacement execution ends (such as battery replacement heads) can simultaneously act on the parts where multiple mounting parts and batteries are connected to each other. Two adjacent accommodating spaces are close to each other in the first direction. For this reason, by staggering the mounting parts at one end of the two adjacent accommodating spaces that are close to each other, the risk of interference between the two adjacent battery replacement execution ends can be reduced, so that multiple battery replacement execution ends can work at the same time, improving the battery replacement efficiency.
[0020] According to some embodiments of the present application, a size of the accommodating space along the first direction is smaller than a size along the second direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the direction of gravity are perpendicular to each other.
[0021] In the above scheme, the size of the accommodation space along the first direction is smaller than the size along the second direction, which can be understood as the size of the battery monomer accommodated in the accommodation space along the first direction is smaller than the size along the second direction, that is, the size of the battery in the second direction can be the length of the battery. For this reason, when the mounting portion is arranged at at least one end of the accommodation space along the first direction, it can be understood that the mounting portion corresponds to the two sides of the shorter dimension of the battery, which can reduce the risk of the middle part of the battery collapsing due to gravity, and improve the connection stability between the battery and the bracket.
[0022] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bracket includes a plurality of mounting beams, the plurality of mounting beams are arranged at intervals along a first direction, each mounting beam extends along a second direction, an accommodating space is formed between two adjacent mounting beams, the mounting portion is arranged on the mounting beam, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0023] In the above scheme, on the one hand, by setting the mounting part on the mounting beam and arranging multiple mounting beams at intervals along the first direction, so that the multiple mounting beams can jointly bear the weight of the battery, the risk of the battery falling off can be effectively reduced; on the other hand, by arranging multiple mounting beams at intervals along the first direction, multiple batteries can be carried in an orderly manner in the first direction, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency.
[0024] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bracket also includes a connecting portion, which is connected to the mounting beam, and the connecting portion is used to be connected to the longitudinal beam of the frame.
[0025] In the above scheme, by providing a connecting portion, the mounting beam can be effectively connected to the longitudinal beam of the frame, so that the mounting beam can effectively carry the battery through the mounting portion, reducing the risk of battery falling off and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle.
[0026] According to some embodiments of the present application, two connecting parts are provided on each mounting beam, and the two connecting parts are spaced apart along the second direction. The two connecting parts and the mounting beam together form an upwardly open groove, and the groove is used for the frame to pass through.
[0027] In the above scheme, by setting two connecting parts, on the one hand, a groove that avoids the longitudinal beam of the frame can be formed; on the other hand, the connecting part can be connected to the outer side surface of the corresponding longitudinal beam, that is, the two longitudinal beams of the frame are respectively connected by the corresponding connecting parts, so that there is a stable connection relationship between the mounting unit and the frame, reducing the risk of battery falling off and improving the reliability of vehicle driving; on the other hand, since two connecting parts are provided and the two connecting parts are arranged at intervals along the lateral direction of the frame, that is, the mounting beam can be provided with more mounting parts to mount larger batteries, thereby effectively improving the vehicle's endurance; on the other hand, the groove is a part for the frame to pass through, so the second direction can be regarded as the arrangement direction of a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame, that is, the lateral direction of the frame, so the battery can be arranged in the lateral direction of the frame, and multiple batteries can be arranged in the longitudinal direction of the frame, so that the center of gravity of the battery is as close to the center of the vehicle as possible, thereby improving the driving reliability of the vehicle.
[0028] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bracket further includes a rib plate, which is located on a side of the connecting portion away from the groove, and the rib plate connects the connecting portion and the mounting beam.
[0029] In the above scheme, by arranging ribs on the outer side of the frame, on the one hand, the space between the connecting part and the mounting beam can be reasonably utilized, and on the other hand, the structural strength of the connecting part and the mounting beam can be improved, thereby reducing the risk of battery falling off and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle.
[0030] According to some embodiments of the present application, a bending portion is provided at one end of the rib plate close to the mounting beam, and the rib plate is connected to the mounting beam via the bending portion.
[0031] In the above solution, by providing a bent portion at the end of the rib plate close to the mounting beam, the connection area between the rib plate and the mounting beam can be increased, thereby improving the connection stability between the rib plate and the mounting beam.
[0032] According to some embodiments of the present application, a notch is formed at one end of the rib plate close to the mounting beam, and the notch is arranged corresponding to the mounting portion.
[0033] In the above solution, a notch is provided at one end of the rib plate close to the mounting beam so as to free up space above the mounting portion, thereby reducing the risk of interference by the rib plate when the battery is mounted on the mounting portion.
[0034] According to some embodiments of the present application, the rib plate and the mounting beam are integrally formed.
[0035] In the above scheme, the rib plate and the mounting beam are integrally formed (for example, the rib plate and the mounting beam are made by a rolling process), so the rib plate and the mounting beam have high structural strength, can effectively carry the battery, reduce the risk of battery falling off, and improve the driving reliability of the vehicle.
[0036] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting beam and the rib plate are separate structures.
[0037] In the above scheme, the mounting beam and the rib plate can be a separate structure, and the two can be connected by a simple process (such as welding, riveting, screw connection or other connection methods), which can effectively reduce the manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing cost of the bracket.
[0038] According to some embodiments of the present application, the multiple mounting beams include a first mounting beam and a second mounting beam located in the middle, the first mounting beam has a plurality of connecting portions arranged at intervals along the second direction, the second mounting beam has a plurality of connecting portions arranged at intervals along the second direction, a channel for the frame to pass through is formed between the connecting portions on the first mounting beam and the connecting portions on the second mounting beam, and the connecting portions are used to connect to the longitudinal beams of the frame.
[0039] In the above scheme, by providing a plurality of connection parts arranged at intervals along the second direction on the first mounting beam and a plurality of connection parts arranged at intervals along the second direction on the second mounting beam, and forming a channel for the frame to pass through between the connection parts on the first mounting beam and the connection parts on the second mounting beam, it is defined that the first direction can be the transverse direction of the frame (that is, the arrangement direction of a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame), thereby defining that the battery is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the frame and the plurality of batteries are arranged along the transverse direction of the frame, which provides more options for the layout of the batteries and thereby improves the compatibility of the bracket.
[0040] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bracket also includes a first connecting beam, which extends along a first direction and connects two adjacent mounting beams.
[0041] In the above scheme, a first connecting beam is provided to connect two adjacent mounting beams to each other, thereby improving the structural stability of the two adjacent mounting beams, being able to effectively carry the battery, reducing the risk of battery falling off, and improving the driving stability of the vehicle.
[0042] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bracket further includes a rib plate, which is located on a side of the connecting portion facing away from the channel, and the rib plate connects the connecting portion and the first connecting beam.
[0043] In the above scheme, by arranging ribs on the outside of the frame, on the one hand, the space on the outside of the frame can be reasonably utilized, and on the other hand, the structural strength of the connecting part and the first connecting beam can be improved, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting beam, reducing the risk of battery falling off, and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle.
[0044] According to some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion extends along the direction of gravity.
[0045] In the above scheme, by setting the connecting part to extend along the direction of gravity, the connecting part has a larger area in the direction of gravity to be connected to the longitudinal beam, thereby improving the connection stability between the mounting beam and the longitudinal beam, reducing the risk of battery falling off, and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle.
[0046] According to some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion is a flange of a rib plate, and the rib plate and the connecting portion are arranged perpendicular to each other.
[0047] In the above scheme, the connecting part can be the flange of the rib plate, that is, the connecting part and the rib plate are integrally formed, which can make the connecting part and the rib plate have higher structural strength, can effectively provide the structural strength of the mounting beam, thereby effectively carrying the battery and reducing the risk of the battery falling off.
[0048] According to some embodiments of the present application, the rib includes a first rib and a second rib that are stacked, and the connecting portion includes a first sub-connecting portion and a second sub-connecting portion, the first sub-connecting portion is a flange of the first rib, and the second sub-connecting portion is a flange of the second rib.
[0049] In the above scheme, the rib plate can be a double-layer plate structure. Since the rib plate is a double-layer plate structure, the rib plate can form two flanges in opposite directions, that is, forming a first sub-connection portion and a second sub-connection portion, so that there is a larger connection area between the rib plate and the longitudinal beam, thereby improving the connection stability between the rib plate and the longitudinal beam, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting beam, allowing the mounting beam to effectively carry the battery and reduce the risk of the battery falling off.
[0050] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bracket further includes a second connecting beam, which connects two adjacent connecting parts.
[0051] In the above solution, by providing a second connecting beam to connect two adjacent connecting parts, the structural stability of the connecting parts can be improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the bracket, reducing the risk of battery detachment, and improving the driving stability of the vehicle.
[0052] According to some embodiments of the present application, a reinforcing sheet is provided on the connecting portion, and the reinforcing sheet is used to connect to the vehicle frame.
[0053] In the above scheme, by providing a reinforcing sheet, the structural strength of the connecting part can be effectively improved, and the connection stability between the connecting part and the frame can be improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the bracket, reducing the risk of battery detachment, and improving the driving stability of the vehicle.
[0054] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting beam is a square tube beam.
[0055] In the above solution, by setting the mounting beam as a square tube beam, on the one hand, the material cost is low, and on the other hand, the material structure strength is high, which can effectively carry the battery and reduce the risk of the battery falling off.
[0056] According to some embodiments of the present application, two rows of mounting parts are arranged on two middle mounting beams of the plurality of mounting beams, and the two rows of mounting parts are staggered.
[0057] In the above scheme, when replacing the battery, multiple battery replacement execution ends (such as battery replacement heads) can simultaneously act on the parts where multiple mounting parts and batteries are connected. The two mounting beams in the middle can mount two batteries. By staggering the two rows of mounting parts on the two mounting beams, the risk of interference between two adjacent battery replacement execution ends can be reduced, so that multiple battery replacement execution ends can work at the same time, improving the battery replacement efficiency.
[0058] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portion includes a mounting hole formed on the mounting beam; the mounting hole penetrates the mounting beam along the gravity direction.
[0059] In the above scheme, on the one hand, the mounting part has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture; on the other hand, since the mounting part has a simple structure, the connection method between the battery and the mounting part is also simple, which can effectively improve the battery replacement efficiency.
[0060] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portion further includes a mounting sleeve, and the mounting sleeve is disposed in the mounting hole.
[0061] In the above scheme, by arranging a mounting sleeve in the mounting hole, the structural strength of the mounting part can be improved, so that the battery can be stably connected to the bracket, the risk of the battery falling off is reduced, and the driving stability of the vehicle is improved.

The plurality of first connectors are arranged on the bracket, the number of the first connectors is equal to the number of groups of the mounting parts, and each first connector is used to connect to a second connector of a battery.
[0063] In the above scheme, by setting multiple first connectors and setting multiple groups of mounting parts on the bracket, the number of batteries that need to be replaced can be adjusted based on the battery life requirements (that is, battery replacement on demand, for example, when the required battery life is shorter, a smaller number of batteries can be installed on a corresponding number of mounting parts in the multiple groups of mounting parts, and the second connector of each battery is connected to the corresponding first connector; when the required battery life is longer, a larger number of batteries can be installed on a corresponding number of mounting parts in the multiple groups of mounting parts, and the second connector of each battery is connected to the corresponding first connector), thereby saving the cost of additional batteries and effectively reducing the cost of battery replacement.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0085] The term "and / or" in this application is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.
[0086] The term "multiple" as used in the present application refers to more than two (including two). Similarly, "multiple groups" refers to more than two groups (including two groups), and "multiple sheets" refers to more than two sheets (including two sheets).

[0104] The bracket 100 is provided with a mounting portion 11, which can mount the battery 2000. In some embodiments, the bracket 100 has a certain structural strength to be able to mount the battery 2000. In some embodiments, the material of the bracket 100 can be the same as that of the frame 200. In some embodiments, the material of the bracket 100 can be aluminum alloy, steel, cast iron or reinforced plastic.
[0105] The mounting portion 11 is a component provided on the bracket 100 for detachably connecting with the battery 2000. The mounting portions 11 are arranged in groups, and each group of mounting portions 11 corresponds to a battery 2000, and is used to detachably install a corresponding battery 2000 on the bracket 100. The bracket 100 is provided with multiple groups of mounting portions 11, that is, the bracket 100 can be detachably connected with a corresponding number of batteries 2000 through multiple groups of mounting portions 11, so as to realize the battery replacement function of multiple batteries 2000. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 11 includes but is not limited to mounting holes 110, mounting screws and other structures that can realize detachable connection with the battery 2000. In some embodiments, the number of groups of mounting portions 11 of the bracket 100 can be two, three, four or more groups.
[0106] In the above scheme, the bracket 100 can be installed on the frame 200 of the vehicle 10000. By arranging multiple groups of mounting parts 11 on the frame 200, the vehicle 10000 can adjust the number of batteries 2000 that need to be replaced based on the endurance requirements (that is, replace the battery on demand, for example, when the endurance required is shorter, a smaller number of batteries 2000 can be installed on the corresponding number of mounting parts 11 in the multiple groups of mounting parts 11; when the endurance required is longer, a larger number of batteries 2000 can be installed on the corresponding number of mounting parts 11 in the multiple groups of mounting parts 11), thereby saving the cost of additional batteries 2000, thereby effectively reducing the battery replacement cost of the vehicle 10000.
[0107] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bracket 100 has a plurality of accommodating spaces 100a arranged along a first direction x, each accommodating space 100a is used to accommodate a battery 2000 , and each accommodating space 100a is correspondingly provided with a group of mounting portions 11 .
[0108] In some embodiments, the bracket 100 has a plurality of accommodating spaces 100a arranged along the first direction x, and the plurality of accommodating spaces 100a are independent of each other. Each accommodating space 100a can be used to accommodate a battery 2000, and the battery 2000 in the accommodating space 100a can be connected by a group of mounting parts 11 in the accommodating space 100a.
[0109] The arrangement of the plurality of accommodation spaces 100 a along the first direction x can be understood as the arrangement of the plurality of batteries 2000 along the first direction x.
[0110] In some embodiments, the sizes of the accommodating spaces 100a may be the same so that the bracket 100 can mount multiple batteries 2000 of the same specifications. In other embodiments, the sizes of the accommodating spaces 100a may be different so that the bracket 100 can mount multiple batteries 2000 of different specifications.
[0111] In the above scheme, by arranging multiple accommodating spaces 100a in the first direction x, and each accommodating space 100a is correspondingly provided with a group of mounting parts 11, each battery 2000 can be installed in the corresponding accommodating space 100a in an orderly manner, and the batteries 2000 do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency.
[0112] According to some embodiments of the present application, the accommodation space 100 a has an opening that opens downward, and the opening is used for the battery 2000 to enter or leave the accommodation space 100 a.
[0113] “The accommodating space 100a has an opening that opens downward” can be understood as that the accommodating space 100a has an opening toward the ground. For example, when the vehicle 10000 is supported on the ground, the opening of the accommodating space 100a faces the ground.
[0114] In some embodiments, the battery 2000 can enter or leave the accommodation space 100 a through the opening.
[0115] In some embodiments, a trench may be provided at the battery exchange site, and a battery exchange mechanism may be provided in the trench. When the vehicle 10000 is in the battery exchange position, the trench may be located below the vehicle 10000, and the battery 2000 enters or leaves the accommodation space 100a through the battery exchange mechanism in the trench.
[0116] In the above scheme, by providing an opening that opens downward, it is convenient for the battery 2000 to enter or leave the accommodating space 100a from the bottom of the frame 200, which can save the space above the frame 200 and reduce the risk of interference with the vehicle 10000 and damage to the vehicle 10000 caused by the battery replacement mechanism occupying the space above the frame 200 during battery replacement.
[0117] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portion 11 is disposed at at least one end of the accommodating space 100a along the first direction x.
[0118] “The mounting portion 11 is disposed at at least one end of the accommodating space 100a along the first direction x” can be understood as, in the first direction x, the mounting portion 11 is disposed at one end of the accommodating space 100a, or the mounting portions 11 can be disposed at opposite ends of the accommodating space 100a, respectively.
[0119] In the above solution, by arranging the mounting portion 11 at at least one end of the accommodating space 100a in the first direction x, the connected battery 2000 can be effectively constrained in the first direction x, reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000.
[0120] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portions 11 are disposed at opposite ends of the accommodating space 100 a along the first direction x.
[0121] In the first direction x, both opposite ends of the accommodation space 100a are provided with mounting portions 11. In some embodiments, the number of mounting portions 11 disposed at the opposite ends of the accommodation space 100a may be the same or different.
[0122] “The mounting portions 11 are disposed at opposite ends of the accommodating space 100 a along the first direction x” can also be understood as that the opposite ends of the battery 2000 in the first direction x are mounted and connected by the mounting portions 11 , respectively.
[0123] In the above scheme, by setting the mounting portion 11 at the opposite end of the accommodating space 100a in the first direction x, the connected battery 2000 can be effectively constrained in the first direction x, so that the battery 2000 is evenly stressed, reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000.
[0124] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 The accommodating space 100a has a first end 100b and a second end 100c opposite to each other along the first direction x, and the mounting portion 11 disposed at the first end 100b and the mounting portion 11 disposed at the second end 100c are staggered.
[0125] The first end 100b and the second end 100c are two opposite portions of the accommodation space 100a in the first direction x. In some embodiments, the first end 100b and the second end 100c correspond to two opposite edges of the battery 2000 in the first direction x.
[0126] “The mounting portion 11 disposed at the first end 100b and the mounting portion 11 disposed at the second end 100c are staggered” can be understood as that along the first direction x, the projection of the mounting portion 11 disposed at the first end 100b and the projection of the mounting portion 11 disposed at the second end 100c do not overlap each other. In other words, it can be understood that the mounting portion 11 disposed at the first end 100b is translated to the second end 100c along the first direction x without interfering with the mounting portion 11 disposed at the second end 100c.
[0127] In the above scheme, by staggering the mounting parts 11 located at opposite ends of the accommodating space 100a, on the one hand, it has a fool-proof effect on the installation of the battery 2000, reducing the risk of wrong installation of the battery 2000; on the other hand, it has a visual fool-proof effect on the installation of the bracket 100 (that is, when the bracket 100 is installed on the frame 200), reducing the risk of wrong installation of the bracket 100.
[0128] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting portions 11 at the ends of two adjacent accommodating spaces 100 a that are close to each other are staggered.
[0129] “The mounting parts 11 at the ends of two adjacent receiving spaces 100a close to each other are staggered” can be understood as the mounting parts 11 corresponding to the parts of the two batteries 2000 close to each other in the two adjacent receiving spaces 100a are staggered. Figure 2 , the mounting part 11 disposed at one end of one of the accommodating spaces 100a close to the other accommodating space 100a is translated along the first direction x to the end of the other accommodating space 100a close to the one of the accommodating spaces 100a, and will not interfere with the mounting part 11 originally disposed at one end of the other accommodating space 100a close to the one of the accommodating spaces 100a. That is, the mounting parts 11 at the ends of the two adjacent accommodating spaces 100a close to each other are not only spaced apart from each other in the first direction x, but also have a distance in the direction perpendicular to the first direction x.
[0130] In the above scheme, when replacing the battery, multiple battery replacement execution ends (such as battery replacement heads) of the battery replacement mechanism can simultaneously act on the parts where multiple mounting parts 11 are connected to the battery 2000. Two adjacent accommodating spaces 100a are close to each other in the first direction x. For this reason, by staggering the mounting parts 11 at one end of the two adjacent accommodating spaces 100a that are close to each other, the risk of interference between the two adjacent battery replacement execution ends can be reduced, so that multiple battery replacement execution ends can work at the same time, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency.
[0131] According to some embodiments of the present application, a size of the accommodating space 100a along the first direction x is smaller than a size along the second direction y, and the first direction x, the second direction y and the gravity direction z are perpendicular to each other.
[0132] The first direction x may be the arrangement direction of the plurality of accommodation spaces 100a, and the second direction y may be a direction perpendicular to the first direction x and perpendicular to the gravity direction z. In some embodiments, the frame 200 may include a pair of longitudinal beams, the transverse direction of the frame 200 may be the arrangement direction of the pair of longitudinal beams, and the longitudinal direction of the frame 200 may be the extension direction of the longitudinal beams. When the first direction x is the longitudinal direction of the frame 200, the second direction y may be the transverse direction of the frame 200. When the first direction x is the transverse direction of the frame 200, the second direction y may be the longitudinal direction of the frame 200.
[0133] In some embodiments, the accommodating space 100a can be a rectangular space, and the size of the accommodating space 100a in the first direction x is smaller than the size in the second direction y. The accommodating space 100a can accommodate a long strip or rectangular battery 2000, and the size of the battery 2000 in the first direction x can be smaller than the size in the second direction y.
[0134] In the above scheme, the size of the accommodation space 100a along the first direction x is smaller than the size along the second direction y, which can be understood as the size of the battery 2000 monomer accommodated in the accommodation space 100a along the first direction x is smaller than the size along the second direction y, that is, the size of the battery 2000 in the second direction y can be the length of the battery 2000. For this reason, when the mounting portion 11 is disposed at at least one end of the accommodation space 100a along the first direction x, it can be understood that the mounting portion 11 corresponds to the two sides of the shorter dimension of the battery 2000, which can reduce the risk of the middle part of the battery 2000 collapsing due to gravity, and improve the connection stability between the battery 2000 and the bracket 100.
[0135] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bracket 100 includes a plurality of mounting beams 10, the plurality of mounting beams 10 are spaced apart along a first direction x, each mounting beam 10 extends along a second direction y, a receiving space 100a is formed between two adjacent mounting beams 10, a mounting portion 11 is disposed on the mounting beam 10, and the second direction y is perpendicular to the first direction x.
[0136] The first direction x may be the arrangement direction of the plurality of accommodation spaces 100a, and the second direction y may be a direction perpendicular to the first direction x and perpendicular to the gravity direction z. In some embodiments, the frame 200 may include a pair of longitudinal beams, the transverse direction of the frame 200 may be the arrangement direction of the pair of longitudinal beams, and the longitudinal direction of the frame 200 may be the extension direction of the longitudinal beams. When the first direction x is the longitudinal direction of the frame 200, the second direction y may be the transverse direction of the frame 200. When the first direction x is the transverse direction of the frame 200, the second direction y may be the longitudinal direction of the frame 200.
[0137] The mounting beam 10 is a beam structure, which may be in the shape of a rod, a stick, a plate or a cylinder. Figure 2 , the mounting beam 10 can extend along the second direction y. In some embodiments, as Figure 2 , part of the mounting beam 10 may be located between a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame 200, and part of the mounting beam 10 may be on both sides of the frame 200 along the lateral direction of the frame 200. In some embodiments, the mounting beam 10 may be located on the outside of the frame 200. In some embodiments, the mounting beam 10 may be between a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame 200. In other embodiments, part of the mounting beam 10 of multiple mounting beams 10 may be located on the outside of the frame 200, and part of the mounting beam 10 of multiple mounting beams 10 may be between a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame 200. In other embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 Schematic diagrams of the bracket 100, the battery 2000 and the frame 200 in other embodiments of the present application. Figure 5 Schematic diagrams of brackets 100 in other embodiments of the present application. Along the lateral direction of the frame 200, some of the mounting beams 10 can be located on opposite sides of the frame 200, and another part of the mounting beams 10 can be located between a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame 200.
[0138] In some embodiments, "the mounting portion 11 is disposed on the mounting beam 10" can be understood as a mounting portion 11 for detachably connecting the battery 2000 is disposed on the mounting beam 10. For example, it can be understood that one mounting beam 10 can be provided with a group of mounting portions 11 to mount one battery 2000. Or it can be understood that one mounting beam 10 can be provided with a partial mounting portion 11 of a group of mounting portions 11, which can be used in conjunction with other mounting beams 10 to mount one battery 2000. Or it can be understood that one mounting beam 10 can be provided with a partial mounting portion 11 of multiple groups of mounting portions 11 (for example, two groups of mounting portions 11), which can be used in conjunction with other mounting beams 10 to mount the battery 2000.
[0139] In some embodiments, the mounting beam 10 can be used to connect to the frame 200 directly or indirectly. For example, the mounting beam 10 can be connected to the frame 200 by welding, riveting, screw connection or other methods, or other components are connected to the frame 200, and the mounting beam 10 is connected to the frame 200 by connecting to the other components.
[0140] In some embodiments, two mounting beams 10 are spaced apart along a first direction x to form a receiving space 100a. When the bracket 100 is installed on the frame 200, a battery 2000 can be accommodated in the receiving space 100a. In the first direction x, batteries 2000 can be mounted on both sides of the receiving space 100a through the mounting beams 10.
[0141] In some embodiments, the number of the mounting beams 10 is at least three, so as to form at least two batteries 2000 in the first direction x, and the batteries 2000 can be accommodated in the corresponding accommodation spaces 100 a.
[0142] See also Figure 2 The number of mounting beams 10 is four, and the four mounting beams 10 are arranged at intervals along the first direction x to form three accommodating spaces 100a for mounting three batteries 2000. In the first direction x, the two outermost mounting beams 10 are respectively provided with a group of partial mounting portions 11 of the mounting portion 11. The two middle mounting beams 10 are respectively provided with two groups of partial mounting portions 11 of the mounting portion 11.
[0143] In the above scheme, on the one hand, by setting the mounting part 11 on the mounting beam 10, and arranging multiple mounting beams 10 at intervals along the first direction x, so that the multiple mounting beams 10 can jointly bear the weight of the battery 2000, the risk of the battery 2000 falling off can be effectively reduced; on the other hand, the multiple mounting beams 10 are arranged at intervals along the first direction x, so that the multiple batteries 2000 can be carried in an orderly manner in the first direction x, thereby improving the battery replacement efficiency.
[0144] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the bracket 100 in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 The bracket 100 further includes a connecting portion 20 , which is connected to the mounting beam 10 and is used to connect to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame 200 .
[0145] In some embodiments, the connection portion 20 may be connected to the outer side of the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame 200. The side of the longitudinal beam facing the other longitudinal beam may be the inner side, and the side of the longitudinal beam away from the other longitudinal beam may be the outer side. In some embodiments, the connection portion 20 may be connected to the vehicle frame 200 by welding, screw connection or other connection methods.
[0146] The mounting beam 10 is directly or indirectly connected to the connecting portion 20 so that the mounting beam 10 can be connected to the vehicle frame 200. In some embodiments, the mounting beam 10 can be connected to the connecting portion 20 by welding, riveting, screw connection or other connection methods. In some embodiments, the mounting beam 10 can be integrally formed with the connecting portion 20.
[0147] In the above scheme, by providing the connecting portion 20, the mounting beam 10 can be effectively connected to the longitudinal beam of the frame 200, so that the mounting beam 10 can effectively carry the battery 2000 through the mounting portion 11, reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000.
[0148] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 8 , Figure 8 Schematic diagram of the mounting beam 10 and the connecting portion 20 in some embodiments of the present application. Each mounting beam 10 is provided with two connecting portions 20, and the two connecting portions 20 are arranged at intervals along the second direction y. The two connecting portions 20 and the mounting beam 10 together form a groove 21 that opens upward (see Figure 8 ), the groove 21 is used for the frame 200 to pass through.
[0149] In some embodiments, two connection portions 20 are disposed on each mounting beam 10, and the two connection portions 20 are spaced apart in the second direction y, so that the two connection portions 20 are respectively connected to a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame 200, such as the outer side surfaces of a pair of longitudinal beams. That is, it can be understood that the two connection portions 20 on each mounting beam 10 are respectively located on the outer side of the frame 200.
[0150] “The groove 21 is used for the frame 200 to pass through” can be understood as the longitudinal beam of the frame 200 can pass through the groove 21 formed between the two connecting parts 20 on each mounting beam 10, that is, the second direction y can be the transverse direction of the frame 200, that is, the first direction x can be the longitudinal direction of the frame 200, that is, multiple batteries 2000 can be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the frame 200, that is, the batteries 2000 can be arranged along the transverse direction of the frame 200.
[0151] In the above scheme, by providing two connecting parts 20, on the one hand, a groove 21 for avoiding the longitudinal beam of the frame 200 can be formed; on the other hand, the connecting part 20 can be connected to the outer side of the corresponding longitudinal beam, that is, the two longitudinal beams of the frame 200 are respectively connected by the corresponding connecting parts 20, so that the mounting unit and the frame 200 have a stable connection relationship, reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000; on the other hand, since two connecting parts 20 are provided and the two connecting parts 20 are arranged at intervals along the lateral direction of the frame 200, that is, the mounting beam 1 0 can be provided with more mounting parts 11 to mount batteries 2000 with larger volume, thereby effectively improving the endurance of the vehicle 10000; on the other hand, the groove 21 is a part for the frame 200 to pass through, so the second direction y can be regarded as the arrangement direction of a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame 200, that is, the transverse direction of the frame 200, so the battery 2000 can be arranged in the transverse direction of the frame 200, and multiple batteries 2000 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the frame 200, so as to make the center of gravity of the battery 2000 as close to the center of the vehicle 10000 as possible, thereby improving the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000.
[0152] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 6-Figure 8 The bracket 100 further includes a rib plate 30 , which is located on a side of the connecting portion 20 away from the groove 21 , and the rib plate 30 connects the connecting portion 20 and the mounting beam 10 .
[0153] In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be a component connecting the connection portion 20 and the mounting beam 10. In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be a component for reinforcing the structural strength of the connection portion 20, the mounting beam 10 and the frame 200. In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be a reinforcing rib, a reinforcing beam or a reinforcing rib disposed between the connection portion 20 and the mounting beam 10. In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be made of materials such as aluminum alloy, steel, cast iron, etc. In some embodiments, the materials of the rib plate 30, the connection portion 20 and the mounting beam 10 may be the same or different.
[0154] In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 can be connected to the connecting portion 20 by welding, screw connection or other connection methods. Or in some embodiments, the rib plate 30 can be integrally formed with the connecting portion 20. In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 can be connected to the mounting beam 10 by welding, screw connection or other connection methods. Or in some embodiments, the rib plate 30 can be integrally formed with the connecting portion 20 and the mounting beam 10.
[0155] In the above scheme, by setting the rib plate 30 on the outer side of the frame 200, on the one hand, the space between the connecting part 20 and the mounting beam 10 can be reasonably utilized, and on the other hand, the structural strength of the connecting part 20 and the mounting beam 10 can be improved, thereby reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000.
[0156] According to other embodiments of the present application, see Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of the partial structure of the rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 in other embodiments of the present application.
[0157] A bending portion 31 is provided at one end of the rib plate 30 close to the mounting beam 10 , and the rib plate 30 is connected to the mounting beam 10 via the bending portion 31 .
[0158] The bending portion 31 is a component provided at one end of the rib plate 30 close to the mounting beam 10. The bending portion 31 may be a component formed by bending the rib plate 30, and the bending portion 31 may be perpendicular to the main body of the rib plate 30. The bending portion 31 has a surface facing the mounting beam 10, and the surface can be connected to the surface of the mounting beam 10.
[0159] In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be a double-layer plate structure, which may be composed of two plate-like structures stacked together, wherein one of the plate-like structures is bent to form a bent portion 31, which is connected to the mounting beam 10, and the other plate-like structure is bent to form a bent portion 31, which is connected to the mounting beam 10. The bent portions 31 of the two plate-like structures are bent in opposite directions, for example, along the thickness direction of the rib plate 30, toward both sides of the rib plate 30.
[0160] In the above solution, the bent portion 31 is provided at the end of the rib plate 30 close to the mounting beam 10 to increase the connection area between the rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 , thereby improving the connection stability between the rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 .
[0161] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 7 and Fig. 9 A notch 32 is formed at one end of the rib plate 30 close to the mounting beam 10 , and the notch 32 is arranged corresponding to the mounting portion 11 .
[0162] The notch 32 may be a recessed structure (or a groove-shaped structure) formed at the end of the rib 30. The notch 32 is arranged corresponding to the mounting portion 11, and can provide space above the mounting portion 11. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 11 includes a mounting hole 110 formed on the mounting beam 10, and in the second direction y, the size of the notch 32 may be greater than or equal to the size of the mounting hole 110. In some embodiments, the battery 2000 has a mounting member corresponding to the mounting hole 110, and the mounting member is inserted into the mounting hole 110 to achieve the connection between the battery 2000 and the bracket 100. In the height direction, the size of the mounting member extending beyond the upper surface of the mounting beam 10 is less than or equal to the distance from the bottom of the notch 32 to the upper surface of the mounting beam 10.
[0163] In the above solution, a notch 32 is provided at one end of the rib plate 30 close to the mounting beam 10 to free up space above the mounting portion 11 , thereby reducing the risk of interference by the rib plate 30 when the battery 2000 is mounted on the mounting portion 11 .
[0164] According to some embodiments of the present application, the rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 are integrally formed.
[0165] Roll forming technology refers to a process that relies on the plastic movement characteristics of materials and uses the principle of rolling extrusion to form various complex parts. In some embodiments, see Figure 8 The rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 can be made of a plate-like material by a rolling process, and the connecting portion 20 can also be a part of the plate-like material. The connecting portion 20 can be formed by bending the end of the rib plate 30. Figure 8 The connection portion 20 may include a plurality of sub-connection blocks 24, which are arranged at intervals along the gravity direction z, and two adjacent sub-connection blocks 24 may be located on opposite sides of the rib plate 30. The sub-connection blocks 24 may be formed by shearing the rib plate 30 and bending it.
[0166] In other embodiments, the rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 may also be integrally formed by a casting process.
[0167] In the above scheme, the rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 are integrally formed (for example, the rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 are made by a rolling process), so the rib plate 30 and the mounting beam 10 have high structural strength, can effectively carry the battery 2000, reduce the risk of the battery 2000 falling off, and improve the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000.
[0168] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting beam 10 and the rib plate 30 are separate structures.
[0169] See also Fig. 9 The mounting beam 10 and the rib plate 30 can be independent structures, that is, the mounting beam 10 and the rib plate 30 can be separate structures, and the two can be manufactured independently.
[0170] In the above scheme, the mounting beam 10 and the rib plate 30 can be a separate structure, and the two can be connected by a simple process (such as welding, riveting, screw connection or other connection methods), which can effectively reduce the manufacturing difficulty and manufacturing cost of the bracket 100.

[0172] The multiple mounting beams 10 include a first mounting beam 10a and a second mounting beam 10b located in the middle. The first mounting beam 10a is provided with a plurality of connecting portions 20 spaced apart along the second direction y. The second mounting beam 10b is provided with a plurality of connecting portions 20 spaced apart along the second direction y. A channel 10c for the frame 200 to pass through is formed between the connecting portions 20 on the first mounting beam 10a and the connecting portions 20 on the second mounting beam 10b. The connecting portions 20 are used to be connected to the longitudinal beams of the frame 200.
[0173] In some embodiments, the frame 200 may include a pair of longitudinal beams, such as a first longitudinal beam 201 and a second longitudinal beam 202 , which are spaced apart in a lateral direction of the frame 200 and extend in a longitudinal direction of the frame 200 .

The plurality of connection parts 20 can be used to connect with the first longitudinal beam 201. See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The phrase “a plurality of connection portions 20 are arranged at intervals on the second mounting beam 10b along the second direction y” can be understood as a plurality of connection portions 20 are arranged on the second mounting beam 10b in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle frame 200, for example, the second mounting beam 10b is provided with two, three, four or other number of connections. The plurality of connection portions 20 can be used to connect with the second longitudinal beam 202.
[0176] The “channel 10 c ” is composed of a plurality of connection portions 20 on the first mounting beam 10 a and a plurality of connection portions 20 on the second mounting beam 10 b . The channel 10 c may extend along the longitudinal direction of the frame 200 to allow the frame 200 to pass through.
[0177] The first mounting beam 10a and the second mounting beam 10b are two mounting beams 10 located in the middle of the plurality of mounting beams 10, that is, at least one mounting beam 10 may be provided on the side of the first mounting beam 10a away from the second mounting beam 10b, such as one mounting beam 10, two mounting beams 10 or three mounting beams 10. That is, at least one mounting beam 10 may be provided on the side of the second mounting beam 10b away from the first mounting beam 10a, such as one mounting beam 10, two mounting beams 10 or three mounting beams 10. In some embodiments, see Figure 5 There are four mounting beams 10, and the four mounting beams 10 are arranged at intervals along the lateral direction of the frame 200 to form three accommodating spaces 100a, that is, the batteries 2000 in the three accommodating spaces 100a are arranged along the lateral direction of the frame 200, and each battery 2000 can be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the frame 200.
[0178] In the above scheme, by providing a plurality of connection parts 20 arranged at intervals along the second direction y on the first mounting beam 10a, and providing a plurality of connection parts 20 arranged at intervals along the second direction y on the second mounting beam 10b, and forming a channel 10c for the frame 200 to pass through between the connection parts 20 on the first mounting beam 10a and the connection parts 20 on the second mounting beam 10b, it is defined that the first direction x can be the transverse direction of the frame 200 (that is, the arrangement direction of a pair of longitudinal beams of the frame 200), thereby defining that the battery 2000 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the frame 200, and the plurality of batteries 2000 are arranged along the transverse direction of the frame 200, which provides more options for the layout of the battery 2000, thereby improving the compatibility of the bracket 100.
[0179] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 5 and Fig.10 The bracket 100 further includes a first connecting beam 40 , which extends along a first direction x and connects two adjacent mounting beams 10 .
[0180] The first connecting beam 40 is a beam structure, which can extend along the first direction x, for example, along the lateral direction of the vehicle frame 200. The first connecting beam 40 connects two adjacent mounting beams 10, and its function may include improving the structural stability of the two adjacent mounting beams 10. Its function may also include combining the two adjacent mounting beams 10 into a whole.
[0181] In some embodiments, the first connecting beam 40 may be in the shape of a plate, a tube, or a rod.
[0182] In some embodiments, the first connection beam 40 can connect two adjacent mounting beams 10 by bonding, welding, riveting or screwing. In some embodiments, the first connection beam 40 and the mounting beam 10 can be integrally formed.
[0183] In the above scheme, by setting the first connecting beam 40, two adjacent mounting beams 10 are connected to each other, thereby improving the structural stability of the two adjacent mounting beams 10, being able to effectively carry the battery 2000, reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off, and improving the driving stability of the vehicle 10000.
[0184] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 5 The bracket 100 further includes a rib plate 30 , which is located on a side of the connecting portion 20 away from the channel 10 c , and the rib plate 30 connects the connecting portion 20 and the first connecting beam 40 .
[0185] In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be a component connecting the connection portion 20 and the first connection beam 40. In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be a component for reinforcing the structural strength of the connection portion 20, the first connection beam 40 and the frame 200. In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be a reinforcing rib, a reinforcing beam or a reinforcing rib disposed between the connection portion 20 and the first connection beam 40. In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 may be made of materials such as aluminum alloy, steel, cast iron, etc. In some embodiments, the materials of the rib plate 30, the connection portion 20 and the first connection beam 40 may be the same or different.
[0186] In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 can be connected to the connecting portion 20 by welding, screw connection or other connection methods. Or in some embodiments, the rib plate 30 can be integrally formed with the connecting portion 20. In some embodiments, the rib plate 30 can be connected to the first connecting beam 40 by welding, screw connection or other connection methods. Or in some embodiments, the rib plate 30 can be integrally formed with the connecting portion 20 and the first connecting beam 40.
[0187] In the above scheme, by setting the rib 30 on the outside of the frame 200, on the one hand, the space outside the frame 200 can be reasonably utilized, and on the other hand, the structural strength of the connecting part 20 and the first connecting beam 40 can be improved, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting beam 10, reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off, and improving the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000 body.
[0188] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 5 , the connecting portion 20 extends along the gravity direction z.
[0189] In some embodiments, the gravity direction z is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the frame 200 and the lateral direction of the frame 200 .
[0190] “The connection portion 20 extends along the gravity direction z” can be understood as that the connection portion 20 has a surface parallel to the gravity direction z, and the surface can be attached to the outer side surface of the longitudinal beam of the frame 200 .
[0191] In the above scheme, by setting the connecting part 20 to extend along the gravity direction z, so that the connecting part 20 has a larger area in the gravity direction z to be connected to the longitudinal beam, the connection stability between the mounting beam 10 and the longitudinal beam is improved, the risk of the battery 2000 falling off is reduced, and the driving reliability of the vehicle 10000 body is improved.
[0192] According to some embodiments of the present application, the connecting portion 20 is a flange of the rib plate 30 , and the rib plate 30 and the connecting portion 20 are arranged perpendicular to each other.
[0193] “The connection part 20 is a flange of the rib plate 30” can be understood as the connection part 20 is formed by bending the rib plate 30, that is, the connection part 20 and the rib plate 30 are an integral structure. “The rib plate 30 and the connection part 20 are arranged perpendicular to each other” can be understood as the connection part 20 is formed by bending the rib plate 30 by 90 degrees.
[0194] In the above scheme, the connecting part 20 can be the flange of the rib plate 30, that is, the connecting part 20 and the rib plate 30 are integrally formed, which can make the connecting part 20 and the rib plate 30 have higher structural strength, and can effectively provide the structural strength of the mounting beam 10, thereby effectively carrying the battery 2000 and reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off.
[0195] According to some embodiments of this application, see Fig. 9 The rib 30 includes a first rib 33 and a second rib 34 which are stacked, and the connecting portion 20 includes a first sub-connecting portion (not shown in the figure) and a second sub-connecting portion (not shown in the figure). The first sub-connecting portion is a flange of the first rib 33, and the second sub-connecting portion is a flange of the second rib 34.
[0196] In some embodiments, the rib 30 may be a double-layer plate structure. For example, the rib 30 may be formed by stacking two plate structures. For another example, the rib 30 may be formed by bending a plate structure or forming a two-layer plate structure through other processes.
[0197] See also Fig. 9 In the thickness direction of the rib plate 30 , the rib plate 30 has a first rib plate 33 and a second rib plate 34 which are stacked on each other.
[0198] The first sub-connection portion is a flange formed by bending the first rib 33, and the second sub-connection portion is a flange formed by bending the second rib 34. In the thickness direction of the rib 30, the first sub-connection portion and the second sub-connection portion are located at opposite sides of the rib 30 respectively.
[0199] In the above scheme, the rib plate 30 can be a double-layer plate structure. Since the rib plate 30 is a double-layer plate structure, the rib plate 30 can form two flanges in opposite directions, that is, form a first sub-connection portion and a second sub-connection portion, so that there is a larger connection area between the rib plate 30 and the longitudinal beam, thereby improving the connection stability between the rib plate 30 and the longitudinal beam, thereby improving the structural strength of the mounting beam 10, so that the mounting beam 10 can effectively carry the battery 2000 and reduce the risk of the battery 2000 falling off.
[0200] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 4 The bracket 100 further includes a second connecting beam 50 , and the second connecting beam 50 connects two adjacent connecting portions 20 .
[0201] The second connecting beam 50 is a beam structure, and in some embodiments, the second connecting beam 50 may extend in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle frame 200. The second connecting beam 50 connects two adjacent connecting portions 20, and its function may include improving the structural stability of the two adjacent connecting portions 20. In some embodiments, the second connecting beam 50 may be in the shape of a plate, a pipe column, or a rod.
[0202] In some embodiments, the second connecting beam 50 can connect two adjacent connecting portions 20 by bonding, welding, riveting or screwing. In some embodiments, the second connecting beam 50 and the connecting portion 20 can be integrally formed.
[0203] In the above solution, by providing a second connecting beam 50 to connect two adjacent connecting parts 20, the structural stability of the connecting part 20 can be improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the bracket 100, reducing the risk of battery 2000 detachment, and improving the driving stability of the vehicle 10000.
[0204] According to other embodiments of the present application, see Fig. 9 A reinforcing sheet 60 is provided on the connecting portion 20 , and the reinforcing sheet 60 is used to connect to the vehicle frame 200 .
[0205] In some embodiments, the reinforcing sheet 60 can be used to strengthen the structural strength of the connecting portion 20 and improve the connection stability between the connecting portion 20 and the frame 200. In some embodiments, the reinforcing sheet 60 can be a sheet-like structure, that is, the thickness of the reinforcing sheet 60 is relatively thin, and the reinforcing sheet 60 can be attached to the surface of the connecting portion 20 and connected to the frame 200. In some embodiments, the reinforcing sheet 60 can be connected to the frame 200 by welding, riveting or screw connection.
[0206] See also Fig. 9 The mounting unit may further include a reinforcing sheet 60, which includes a first portion 61, a second portion 62, and a third portion 63. The first portion 61 is connected to the top surface of the longitudinal beam, and the ends of the second portion 62 and the third portion 63 are connected to the first portion 61. The second portion 62 and the third portion 63 are arranged opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction of the frame 200, and an avoidance gap is formed between the second portion 62 and the third portion 63. The avoidance gap can avoid the rib plate 30 so that the second portion 62 and the third portion 63 can be located on opposite sides of the rib plate 30. The second portion 62 can contact a portion of the connecting portion 20, that is, a portion of the connecting portion 20 is located between the second portion and the frame 200, and the third portion 63 can contact a portion of the connecting portion 20, that is, a portion of the connecting portion 20 is located between the third portion 63 and the frame 200. In some embodiments, the first portion 61 is fixed to the top surface of the longitudinal beam of the frame 200 by means of a screw, the second portion is connected to the outer side surface of the frame 200 by means of a screw passing through the portion of the connection portion 20, and the third portion 63 is connected to the outer side surface of the frame 200 by means of a screw passing through the portion of the connection portion 20.
[0207] In the above scheme, by providing the reinforcing sheet 60, the structural strength of the connecting part 20 can be effectively improved, and the connection stability between the connecting part 20 and the frame 200 can be improved, thereby improving the structural stability of the bracket 100, reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off, and improving the driving stability of the vehicle 10000.
[0208] According to some embodiments of the present application, the mounting beam 10 is a square tube beam.
[0209] In some embodiments, the mounting beam 10 may be a tubular structure having a cavity inside.
[0210] In the above solution, by setting the mounting beam 10 as a square tube beam, on the one hand, the material cost is low, and on the other hand, the material structure strength is high, which can effectively carry the battery 2000 and reduce the risk of the battery 2000 falling off.
[0211] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2 Two rows of mounting parts 11 are arranged on two middle mounting beams 10 of the plurality of mounting beams 10, and the two rows of mounting parts 11 are arranged in a staggered manner. Figure 2 In the figure, part of the mounting portion 11 is blocked by the crossbeam of the vehicle frame 200 .
[0212] “Two rows of mounting parts 11 are arranged on two mounting beams 10 in the middle of the plurality of mounting beams 10” can be understood as two rows of mounting parts 11 can be arranged on the two mounting beams 10 in the middle respectively. One row of mounting parts 11 in the two rows of mounting parts 11 is a portion of mounting parts 11 in one group of mounting parts 11, and the other row of mounting parts 11 is a portion of mounting parts 11 in another group of mounting parts 11. “The two rows of mounting parts 11 are staggered” can be understood as the projections of the two rows of mounting parts 11 do not overlap along the first direction x.
[0213] Two rows of mounting portions 11 are disposed on the two mounting beams 10 in the middle and can respectively mount portions of two adjacent batteries 2000 .
[0214] In the above scheme, when replacing the battery, multiple battery replacement execution ends (such as battery replacement heads) can simultaneously act on the parts where multiple mounting parts 11 are connected to the battery 2000. The two mounting beams 10 in the middle can mount two batteries 2000. By staggering the two rows of mounting parts 11 on the two mounting beams 10, the risk of interference between two adjacent battery replacement execution ends can be reduced, so that multiple battery replacement execution ends can work at the same time, improving the battery replacement efficiency.
[0215] According to some embodiments of this application, see Figure 7 The mounting portion 11 includes a mounting hole 110 formed on the mounting beam 10 .
[0216] In some embodiments, the mounting hole 110 may be a through-hole structure penetrating the mounting beam 10 along the gravity direction z. In some embodiments, the battery 2000 has a mounting component, which can pass through the mounting hole 110 and be mounted on the mounting beam 10.
[0217] In the above scheme, on the one hand, the mounting portion 11 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture; on the other hand, since the mounting portion 11 has a simple structure, the connection method between the battery 2000 and the mounting portion 11 is also simple, which can effectively improve the battery replacement efficiency.
[0218] According to other embodiments of the present application, see Fig.11 , Fig.11 Schematic diagram of the mounting portion 11 in some other embodiments of the present application.
[0219] The mounting portion 11 further includes a mounting sleeve 111 , and the mounting sleeve 111 is disposed in the mounting hole 110 .
[0220] In some embodiments, the mounting sleeve 111 may be disposed in the mounting hole 110, and the mounting sleeve 111 may be disposed in the mounting hole 110 by bonding, welding, screw connection or other methods. In some embodiments, the material of the mounting sleeve 111 may be the same as or different from the material of the mounting beam 10. In some embodiments, the material of the mounting sleeve 111 may be aluminum alloy, steel or reinforced plastic.
[0221] In the above scheme, by setting the mounting sleeve 111 in the mounting hole 110, the structural strength of the mounting part 11 can be improved, so that the battery 2000 can be stably connected to the bracket 100, reducing the risk of the battery 2000 falling off and improving the driving stability of the vehicle 10000.
[0222] According to some embodiments of this application, see Fig.12 , Fig.12 Schematic diagram of a bracket assembly 1000 in some embodiments of the present application. A bracket assembly 1000 is also provided, and the bracket assembly 1000 includes the bracket 100 described above and a plurality of first connectors 1001. The plurality of first connectors 1001 are provided on the bracket 100, and the number of the first connectors 1001 is equal to the number of groups of the mounting portion 11, and each first connector 1001 is used to connect to a second connector of a battery 2000.
[0223] The bracket assembly 1000 is a component for mounting the battery 2000. In the vehicle 10000, the bracket assembly 1000 may be disposed at the bottom of the vehicle 10000. In some embodiments, the bracket assembly 1000 may include a vehicle frame 200, or the bracket assembly 1000 may be mounted on the vehicle frame 200.
[0224] In some embodiments, the first connector 1001 is a component connected to the second connector of the battery 2000, and one first connector 1001 is used to connect to the second connector of one battery 2000. In some embodiments, the first connector 1001 may include but is not limited to a high-low voltage connector for connecting to the battery 2000 or a liquid cooling connector for connecting to the battery 2000. In some embodiments, the high-low voltage connector may be electrically connected to the battery 2000 to implement the input or output of the battery 2000, and to implement the input or output of electrical signals. The liquid cooling connector may be used for the input or output of the heat exchange medium of the battery 2000 to perform thermal management on the battery 2000.
[0225] "The number of first connectors 1001 is equal to the number of groups of mounting parts 11" can be understood as that the vehicle 10000 can replace the battery on demand, no matter how many batteries 2000 are mounted on the bracket assembly 1000 through the mounting part 11, each battery 2000 can be connected to the corresponding first connector 1001, so that each battery 2000 can work normally and charge and discharge normally. For example, based on the endurance requirements of the vehicle 10000, it can be divided into short-distance endurance requirements, medium-distance endurance requirements and long-distance endurance requirements. Short-distance endurance requirements can correspond to one battery 2000; medium-distance endurance requirements correspond to two batteries 2000; long-distance endurance requirements correspond to three batteries 2000. For this reason, the bracket 100 of the bracket assembly 1000 can be provided with three groups of mounting parts 11, so as to be able to mount up to three batteries 2000 to meet the longest endurance requirements. When the short-distance battery life requirement is to be met, only one battery 2000 may be mounted, and the second connector of the battery 2000 is connected to one first connector 1001. When the mid-distance battery life requirement is to be met, only two batteries 2000 may be mounted, and the second connectors of the two batteries 2000 are respectively connected to two first connectors 1001. When the long-distance battery life requirement is to be met, three batteries 2000 may be mounted, and the second connector of each battery 2000 is connected to the corresponding first connector 1001.
[0226] In the above scheme, by setting multiple first connectors 1001 and setting multiple groups of mounting parts 11 on the bracket 100, the number of batteries 2000 that need to be replaced can be adjusted based on the battery life requirements (that is, battery replacement on demand, for example, when the required battery life is shorter, a smaller number of batteries 2000 can be installed on a corresponding number of mounting parts 11 in the multiple groups of mounting parts 11, and the second connector of each battery 2000 is connected to the corresponding first connector 1001; when the required battery life is longer, a larger number of batteries 2000 can be installed on a corresponding number of mounting parts 11 in the multiple groups of mounting parts 11, and the second connector of each battery 2000 is connected to the corresponding first connector 1001), thereby saving the cost of additional batteries 2000 and effectively reducing the battery replacement cost.
[0227] According to some embodiments of the present application, some embodiments of the present application further provide a vehicle 10000, comprising the bracket assembly 1000 provided above and at least one battery 2000. Each battery 2000 is detachably connected to a set of mounting parts 11.
[0228] In the above scheme, a vehicle 10000 is provided. By setting the bracket assembly 1000 provided above, the vehicle 10000 can replace batteries on demand, that is, according to its own endurance requirements, the number of battery replacement batteries 2000 is adjusted to achieve the purpose of reducing battery replacement costs.
[0229] According to some embodiments of the present application, a bracket 100 is provided. Figure 1-Figure 11 .
[0230] The bracket 100 is used to be installed on the frame 200 of the vehicle 10000, that is, the frame 200 of the heavy truck. The bracket 100 can be installed on the frame 200 of the vehicle 10000 when the vehicle 10000 leaves the factory. The bracket 100 can also be installed on the frame 200 of the vehicle 10000 through a later installation after the vehicle 10000 leaves the factory.
[0231] In some embodiments, the frame 200 may be a frame 200 of a heavy truck. When a heavy truck transports different goods or has different transport routes, the required capacity of the battery 2000 is different. For example, a 200-degree battery 2000 (e.g., one battery 2000) is required for short-distance driving, a 400-degree battery 2000 (e.g., two batteries 2000) is required for medium-distance driving, and a 600-degree battery 2000 (e.g., three batteries 2000) is required for long-distance driving. In order to save the cost of battery replacement, multiple groups of mounting parts 11 are provided on the bracket 100, and each group of mounting parts 11 is used to detachably connect a battery 2000.
[0232] The bracket 100 includes a plurality of mounting beams 10. For example, the bracket 100 includes four mounting beams 10. The four mounting beams 10 are arranged at intervals in the first direction x to divide three accommodating spaces 100a. Each accommodating space 100a is used to accommodate a battery 2000. That is, by installing the bracket 100, three batteries 2000 can be mounted, and at least one battery 2000 can be mounted. That is, the vehicle 10000 having the bracket 100 can replace one to three batteries 2000.
[0233] Each mounting beam 10 may be provided with a plurality of mounting portions 11, for example, Figure 2 , along the first direction x, the two outermost mounting beams 10 are respectively provided with a row of mounting parts 11, one mounting part 11 has 6 mounting parts 11, and the 6 mounting parts 11 in each row of mounting parts 11 can be arranged along the second direction y. The second direction y, the first direction x and the gravity direction z are perpendicular to each other. The two mounting beams 10 in the middle are respectively provided with two rows of mounting parts 11, that is, 12 mounting parts 11 are provided (in Figure 2The middle part of the mounting part 11 is blocked by the crossbeam of the frame 200). In the first direction x, every two columns of mounting parts 11 form a group of mounting parts 11, that is, a battery 2000 can be mounted on the bracket 100 through 12 mounting parts 11. Among them, the mounting parts 11 in the two columns of mounting parts 11 on the mounting beams 10 in the middle two columns are staggered, which can reduce the risk of mutual interference between two adjacent battery swap execution ends, so that multiple battery swap execution ends can work at the same time, thereby improving the battery swap efficiency. In some embodiments, the mounting part 11 may include a mounting hole 110 formed on the mounting beam 10 and a mounting sleeve 111 set in the mounting hole 110.
[0234] The vehicle frame 200 includes a pair of longitudinal beams, and the pair of longitudinal beams includes a first longitudinal beam 201 and a second longitudinal beam 202. The transverse direction of the vehicle frame 200 may be an arrangement direction of the first longitudinal beam 201 and the second longitudinal beam 202. The longitudinal direction of the vehicle frame 200 may be an extension direction of the first longitudinal beam 201 and the second longitudinal beam 202.
[0235] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The first direction x may be the longitudinal direction of the frame 200, that is, the plurality of batteries 2000 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the frame 200. The plurality of mounting beams 10 are arranged at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the frame 200. Each mounting beam 10 is provided with two connecting portions 20, and the two connecting portions 20 are arranged at intervals along the transverse direction of the frame 200. The two connecting portions 20 and the mounting amount together form an upwardly open groove 21 for the frame 200 to pass through.
[0236] A rib plate 30 is further provided between the connecting portion 20 and the mounting beam 10 , and the rib plate 30 is used to strengthen the structural strength of the connecting portion 20 and the mounting beam 10 .
[0237] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first direction x may be the lateral direction of the frame 200, that is, the plurality of batteries 2000 are arranged in the lateral direction of the frame 200. The plurality of mounting beams 10 are arranged in the lateral direction of the frame 200 at intervals.
[0238] The four mounting beams 10 include a first mounting beam 10a and a second mounting beam 10b located in the middle. A plurality of connecting portions 20 are arranged on the first mounting beam 10a at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the frame 200. A plurality of connecting portions 20 are arranged on the second mounting beam 10b at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the frame 200. A channel 10c for the frame 200 to pass through is formed between the connecting portions 20 on the first mounting beam 10a and the connecting portions 20 on the second mounting beam 10b.
