DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0025] In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish between the descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0026] As disclosed in the background technology, the middle longitudinal beam of the battery pack in the prior art generally uses a cross beam structure that runs through the entire structure and divides the interior of the box into a battery compartment and an electrical compartment. The battery compartment is a symmetrical structure, so this cross beam structure is more suitable for left-right symmetrical battery packs. When the number of battery packs is arranged irregularly, only an additional row of battery cells can be arranged to make up the space, or a part of the space can be left empty, which reduces the space utilization of the entire battery pack.

[0027] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a new box structure frame and a battery pack. It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict. Specific embodiments See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present invention provides a box structure frame 100, which can be applicable to designs with different numbers of battery cell modules on both sides, thereby improving its applicability and further improving the space utilization of the entire package.

[0029] The box structure frame 100 provided in an embodiment of the present invention is used to be set in a battery box 210, and includes an intermediate longitudinal beam 110, a first cross beam 120 and a second cross beam 130. The intermediate longitudinal beam 110 is arranged in the battery box 210 along the Y direction and is used to divide the battery box 210 into a first partition and a second partition, and a transfer structure 140 is provided on the intermediate longitudinal beam 110. The first cross beam 120 and the second cross beam 130 are arranged on both sides of the intermediate longitudinal beam 110 along the X direction and are connected to the transfer structure 140, wherein the first cross beam 120 is used to divide the first partition into a first battery compartment 121 and a first electrical compartment 122, the second cross beam 130 is used to divide the second partition into a second battery compartment 131 and a second electrical compartment 132, and the first cross beam 120 and the second cross beam 130 are staggered along the Y direction.

[0030] It should be noted that the battery box 210 in this embodiment is a rectangular structure as a whole. The Y direction mentioned in this embodiment refers to the length direction of the battery box 210, the X direction mentioned in this embodiment refers to the width direction of the battery box 210, and the Z direction mentioned in this embodiment refers to the height direction of the battery box 210. Please refer to the figure for details. The middle longitudinal beam 110 can be welded and fixed on the bottom wall of the battery box 210, and the material can be an aluminum profile. The first partition and the second partition can be two rectangular areas symmetrically distributed along the X direction. Among them, the first crossbeam 120 can further divide the first partition into a first battery compartment 121 and a first electrical compartment 122, the first battery compartment 121 is used to accommodate the battery module, and the first electrical compartment 122 is used to accommodate some electrical control components; the second crossbeam 130 can divide the second partition into a second battery compartment 131 and a second electrical compartment 132, the second battery compartment 131 is used to accommodate the battery module, and the second electrical compartment 132 is used to accommodate the remaining electrical control components. Since the first crossbeam 120 and the second crossbeam 130 are designed to be staggered along the Y direction, the volumes of the first battery compartment 121 and the second battery compartment 131 are not the same, and can respectively accommodate different numbers of battery modules, wherein the staggered spacing of the first crossbeam 120 and the second crossbeam 130 along the Y direction can be determined according to the actual distribution of the battery modules, and preferably, the staggered spacing can be a multiple of the width of the battery cell in the battery module, which greatly improves the applicability of the box structure frame 100.

[0031] See also Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 The transfer structure 140 includes a first transfer protrusion 141 and a second transfer protrusion 142 located on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110. The first transfer protrusion 141 and the second transfer protrusion 142 protrude toward both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110 along the X direction, respectively. The first transfer protrusion 141 is correspondingly assembled in the first crossbeam 120, and the second transfer protrusion 142 is correspondingly assembled in the second crossbeam 130. Specifically, the first transfer protrusion 141 and the second transfer protrusion 142 are staggered along the Y direction, so that the first crossbeam 120 and the second crossbeam 130 are staggered. The first crossbeam 120 is hollow, and a first assembly hole is formed on its end surface. The first transfer protrusion 141 can be correspondingly assembled in the first assembly hole, so that the connection and fixation between the transfer structure 140 and the first crossbeam 120 can be achieved. Similarly, a second assembly hole is formed on the end surface of the second cross beam 130 , and the second adapter protrusion 142 can be correspondingly assembled in the second assembly hole, so that the connection and fixation between the adapter structure 140 and the second cross beam 130 can be achieved.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first transfer protrusion 141 and the second transfer protrusion 142 are integrally arranged on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110, and the first transfer protrusion 141 can be two first protrusions distributed up and down, and the two first protrusions can be correspondingly inserted into the first cross beam 120. Since the middle part of the first cross beam 120 is provided with a reinforcing rib, the gap between the two first protrusions just corresponds to the reinforcing rib, so the two first protrusions can be stuck on both sides of the reinforcing rib and be fixed. Similarly, the second transfer protrusion 142 can be two second protrusions distributed up and down, and the two second protrusions can be correspondingly inserted into the second cross beam 130. Since the middle part of the second cross beam 130 is also provided with a reinforcing rib, the gap between the two second protrusions just corresponds to the reinforcing rib, so the two second protrusions can be stuck on both sides of the reinforcing rib and be fixed.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the number of battery cells in the first battery compartment 121 and the second battery compartment 131 are arranged differently, and the number of battery cell columns on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110 of the whole package structure is different. Therefore, the first crossbeam 120 and the second crossbeam 130 may not be arranged on the same straight line. Specifically, the first crossbeam 120 and the second crossbeam 130 may be limited respectively by the staggered arrangement of the first adapter protrusion 141 and the second adapter protrusion 142.

[0034] In some embodiments, a limiting structure 150 is also provided on the middle longitudinal beam 110, and the box structure frame 100 also includes a third cross beam 160 and a fourth cross beam 170, and the third cross beam 160 and the fourth cross beam 170 are arranged on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110 along the X direction and connected to the limiting structure 150, and the third cross beam 160 is located in the first battery compartment 121, and the fourth cross beam 170 is located in the second battery compartment 131. Specifically, the third crossbeam 160 and the first crossbeam 120 are parallel and spaced apart, and the third crossbeam 160 is connected to the inner wall of the battery box 210, and the fourth crossbeam 170 and the second crossbeam 130 are parallel and spaced apart, and the fourth crossbeam 170 is connected to the inner wall of the battery box 210. The arrangement of the third crossbeam 160 and the fourth crossbeam 170, on the one hand, can enhance the structural strength of the overall frame and increase the reinforcement structure, so that when the expansion force of the battery cell is large, the structure of the battery box 210 can be made more stable, thereby increasing the strength of the entire battery pack 200; on the other hand, the first battery compartment 121 and the second battery compartment 131 can be divided again, thereby separating different areas for the placement of battery cell modules.

[0035] Further, the limiting structure 150 includes a first limiting protrusion 151 and a second limiting protrusion 152 located on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110, the first limiting protrusion 151 and the second limiting protrusion 152 protrude toward both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110 along the X direction respectively, and the first limiting protrusion 151 is correspondingly assembled in the third cross beam 160, and the second limiting protrusion 152 is correspondingly assembled in the fourth cross beam 170. Specifically, the first limiting protrusion 151 and the second limiting protrusion 152 are integrally arranged on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110, and the third cross beam 160 is hollow, and a third assembly hole is formed on its end surface, and the first limiting protrusion 151 can be correspondingly assembled in the third assembly hole, so that the limiting structure 150 and the third cross beam 160 can be connected and fixed. Similarly, the fourth cross beam 170 is hollow and has a fourth assembly hole formed on the end surface. The second limiting protrusion 152 can be correspondingly assembled in the fourth assembly hole, thereby achieving connection and fixation between the limiting structure 150 and the fourth cross beam 170 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the first limiting protrusion 151 and the second limiting protrusion 152 are integrally arranged on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110, and the first limiting protrusion 151 can be two third protrusions distributed up and down, and the two third protrusions can be correspondingly inserted in the three cross beams. Since the middle part of the third cross beam 160 is provided with a reinforcing rib, the gap between the two third protrusions just corresponds to the reinforcing rib, so the two third protrusions can be stuck on both sides of the reinforcing rib and fixed. Similarly, the second limiting protrusion 152 can be two fourth protrusions distributed up and down, and the two fourth protrusions can be correspondingly inserted in the fourth cross beam 170. Since the middle part of the fourth cross beam 170 is also provided with a reinforcing rib, the gap between the two fourth protrusions just corresponds to the reinforcing rib, so the two fourth protrusions can be stuck on both sides of the reinforcing rib and fixed.

[0037] In some embodiments, the first limiting protrusion 151 and the second limiting protrusion 152 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110, so that the third cross beam 160 and the fourth cross beam 170 are located in the same straight line direction. Specifically, the third cross beam 160 and the fourth cross beam 170 are located in the same straight line direction, which can further improve the structural strength.

[0038] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, a mounting bracket 180 is provided on one side of the middle longitudinal beam 110 away from the inner bottom surface of the battery box 210 along the Z direction, and the mounting bracket 180 is used to fix the electrical connection bar extending along the Y direction. Specifically, the mounting bracket 180 is integrally arranged at the top of the middle longitudinal beam 110, and can directly integrate the electrical connection bar together, wherein the electrical connection bar can be a copper bar. Preferably, there can be multiple mounting brackets 180, and specifically, one mounting bracket 180 can be provided at intervals of 220 mm in the Y direction, and the mounting bracket 180 can fix two copper bars running through the Y direction.

[0039] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 180 can fix the copper bar by a tie. Specifically, a first tie structure 181 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 180 away from the inner bottom surface of the battery box 210 along the Z direction. The first tie structure 181 is used to fix the first electrical connection bar. A second tie structure 182 is provided on the side wall of one side of the mounting bracket 180 along the X direction. The second tie structure 182 is used to fix the second electrical connection bar. The first tie structure 181 is located on the top side of the mounting bracket 180 and is fixed after being inserted through a hole punched in the top side. The second tie structure 182 is located on the side of the mounting bracket 180 and is fixed after being inserted through a hole punched in the side wall.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 180 may be in a 7-shape, with a top width greater than a bottom width, so that the first tie structure 181 can be more stably installed and fixed. Specifically, the first tie structure 181 is provided with a first screw structure, which can be passed through the top side of the mounting bracket 180 and fixed; the second tie structure 182 is provided with a second screw structure, which can be passed through the side wall of the mounting bracket 180 and fixed.

[0041] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 180 has an internal cavity, in which a plurality of reinforcing plates 183 are arranged at intervals. Specifically, by providing a plurality of reinforcing plates 183, the structural strength of the mounting bracket 180 can be improved.

[0042] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the middle longitudinal beam 110 between the first electrical compartment 122 and the second electrical compartment 132 has a mounting table 190, and an electrical bracket 191 is arranged on the mounting table 190. The mounting table 190 is used to carry the first electrical component, and the electrical bracket 191 is used to carry the second electrical component. Specifically, the first electrical compartment 122 and the second electrical compartment 132 can be connected to each other, and some electrical units, such as BMS control panels or BDUs, can be arranged in the first electrical compartment 122 and the second electrical compartment 132. These electrical units cannot directly contact the bottom wall of the battery box 210 due to heat dissipation requirements, so these electrical components can be supported by the mounting table 190 and the electrical bracket 191. Among them, the first electrical component and the second electrical component can be at least one of BMS / BDU. Preferably, the first electrical component can be an upper BMS, and the second electrical component can be a lower BMS, and the first electrical component is located on the upper side of the second electrical component. In actual installation, the first electrical component and the electrical bracket 191, and the second electrical component and the mounting table 190 can be installed by bolting.

[0043] See also Figure 3 The embodiment of the present invention further provides a battery pack 200, including a first battery cell module 230, a second battery cell module 240, a battery box 210 and the aforementioned box structure frame 100, the box structure frame 100 includes an intermediate longitudinal beam 110, a first cross beam 120 and a second cross beam 130, the intermediate longitudinal beam 110 is arranged in the battery box 210 along the Y direction, and divides the battery box 210 into a first partition and a second partition, the first cross beam 120 divides the first partition into a first battery compartment 121 and a first electrical compartment 122, the second cross beam 130 divides the second partition into a second battery compartment 131 and a second electrical compartment 132, the first battery cell module 230 is arranged in the first battery compartment 121, and the second battery cell module 240 is arranged in the second battery compartment 131.

[0044] Please continue to see Figure 2In some embodiments, the inner side walls of the battery box 210 on both sides along the X direction are respectively provided with relatively protruding first connectors 250 and second connectors (not numbered in the figure), the first connector 250 is correspondingly mounted on the end of the first beam 120 away from the middle longitudinal beam 110, and the second connector is correspondingly mounted on the end of the second beam 130 away from the middle longitudinal beam 110. Specifically, one end of the first connector 250 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the battery box 210, and the connection method can be welding or screw connection, preferably screw connection, and the other end of the first connector 250 is partially inserted into the cavity of the first beam 120, and the size of the first connector 250 at this end is adapted to the size of the cavity of the first beam 120. In order to meet the connection strength and enhance the structural strength of the first beam 120, the length of the first connector 250 inserted into the first beam 120 is not fixed, and can be appropriately adjusted according to actual needs. At the same time, the connection structure between the second connector and the second beam 130 is similar, and no further introduction is given here.

[0045] In some embodiments, the portion of the first connecting member 250 extending into the first beam 120 and the first beam 120 may be reinforced by screw connection. Similarly, the portion of the second connecting member extending into the second beam 130 and the second beam 130 may be reinforced by screws.

[0047] In summary, the box structure frame 100 and the battery pack 200 provided by the embodiment of the present invention arrange the middle longitudinal beam 110 in the battery box 210 along the Y direction, and can divide the battery box 210 into a first partition and a second partition, and a transfer structure 140 is provided on the middle longitudinal beam 110, and the first cross beam 120 and the second cross beam 130 are arranged on both sides of the middle longitudinal beam 110 along the X direction and connected to the transfer structure 140, and the first cross beam 120 can divide the first partition into a first battery compartment 121 and a first electrical compartment 122, and the second cross beam 130 can divide the second partition into a second battery compartment 131 and a second electrical compartment 132, and the first cross beam 120 and the second cross beam 130 are staggered along the Y direction, so that first battery compartments 121 and second battery compartments 131 of different sizes can be formed, which is suitable for situations where the number of battery cell modules on both sides is different.
