[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a battery assembly and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] The 12V battery in a car plays a crucial role in powering the vehicle's components and is essential for overall vehicle safety. Traditional lead-acid batteries have strict limitations on their placement and protection strategies within the vehicle. With advancements in battery technology, the 12V power supply in automobiles is shifting from lead-acid batteries to lithium batteries, and vehicle safety imposes even stricter restrictions on the collision failure modes of lithium batteries.

[0003] When designing new energy vehicles, the development of hybrid models must be considered. Due to limited space in the front compartment, some models place the battery in the seat area or trunk area. When the vehicle is rear-ended, the battery and its accessories placed in the trunk area will be impacted. Since the battery accessories are located on the side facing the direction of impact, they will be directly damaged by the impact. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a battery assembly and automobile that aims to adjust the arrangement of battery accessories through an installation structure to prevent damage during impacts.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a battery assembly and a vehicle, comprising:

[0006] The mounting mechanism includes a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, and two connecting plates. The first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket are spaced apart in a first horizontal direction. The connecting plates connect the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket, and the two connecting plates are spaced apart in a second horizontal direction, so that the first mounting bracket, the second mounting bracket, and the two connecting plates enclose and form an installation area.

[0007] The battery body is installed within the installation area; and,

[0030] This invention provides a battery assembly and an automobile. Figures 1 to 3This invention provides an embodiment of a battery assembly and a vehicle.

[0031] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 2 The battery assembly is used in a car. The battery assembly includes a mounting mechanism 2, a battery body 1, and a fuse box 3. The mounting mechanism 2 includes a first mounting bracket 21, a second mounting bracket 22, and two connecting plates 23. The first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 are spaced apart in a first horizontal direction. The connecting plates 23 connect the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22, and the two connecting plates 23 are spaced apart in a second horizontal direction, so that the first mounting bracket 21, the second mounting bracket 22, and the two connecting plates 23 enclose an installation area. The battery body 1 is installed in the installation area, and the fuse box 3 is installed on one side of the installation area north of the second mounting bracket 22.

[0032] The battery pack 1 is usually designed to be installed in the engine compartment of a car because the environment in the engine compartment is relatively stable and can provide a relatively ideal temperature and humidity condition for the battery. However, in some cases, in order to meet specific design requirements or optimize the weight distribution of the vehicle, the battery pack 1 may also be placed in other locations such as the trunk, the interior space of the vehicle, or the bottom of the vehicle. The fuse box 3 is a key component to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the vehicle's electrical system. It is responsible for protecting the circuit from overload and short circuit. Therefore, in order to facilitate maintenance and ensure the overall safety of the system, the fuse box 3 is usually installed in an area close to the battery pack 1.

[0033] Although both the battery pack 1 and fuse box 3 are indispensable components of the automotive electrical system, they are usually installed independently. This arrangement makes it easier for maintenance personnel to locate and replace the corresponding parts. However, when a vehicle is involved in a collision, the battery pack 1 and fuse box 3 may shift or move due to the impact. In this case, if the battery pack 1 collides with the fuse box 3, it may damage the fuse box 3, thereby affecting the normal operation of the entire electrical system. To avoid this situation, it is necessary to consider changing the installation method of the battery pack 1 and fuse box 3. One possible solution is to enhance the stability of the battery pack 1 and fuse box 3 by adding fixing devices or cushioning materials, thereby reducing the possibility of displacement during a collision. In addition, it is also possible to consider installing the battery pack 1 and fuse box 3 in a more robust body structure to improve their impact resistance. Through these improvements, the risk of the battery pack 1 and fuse box 3 colliding with each other in a collision can be effectively reduced, thereby ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the automotive electrical system.

[0034] In the installation of the battery assembly on the car, two connecting plates 23 are first mounted on the first mounting bracket 21. Parts of the two connecting plates 23 are set on the first mounting bracket 21 and extend towards the first horizontal direction, thus forming an unclosed installation area with the first mounting bracket 21. Next, the battery body 1 is placed in the installation area and mounted on the first mounting bracket 21. After the battery body 1 is installed, the second mounting bracket 22 is mounted on the side of the two connecting plates 23 away from the first mounting bracket 21, so that the first mounting bracket 21, the second mounting bracket 22, and the two connecting plates 23 enclose the installation area. Finally, the fuse box 3 is mounted on the side of the first mounting bracket 21 away from the installation area, so that the fuse box 3 is located in the first horizontal direction of the battery body 1. The battery body 1 and the fuse box 3 are set on the same mounting mechanism 2, so that when the car is impacted and the battery body 1 moves, the fuse box 3 can move together, thereby reducing the probability of the fuse box 3 being damaged by the impact of the battery body 1.

[0035] The main body of the battery 1 is primarily responsible for providing the electrical energy required by the vehicle's electrical system to ensure that the vehicle can start smoothly, the lighting system can work normally, and the ignition system can operate reliably. In addition, the main body of the battery 1 also supports other key functions, such as the audio system, the air conditioning system, and the normal operation of various electronic devices. In order to ensure that the main body of the battery 1 can continuously and stably provide electrical energy, it must have good heat dissipation performance.

[0036] To achieve effective heat dissipation, the design of the battery body 1 takes into account the need for heat dissipation space. Specifically, the installation area of ​​the battery body 1 is enclosed by the first mounting bracket 21, the second mounting bracket 22, and two connecting plates 23. Within this installation area, the upper and lower sides of the battery body 1 are not sealed. This structure allows the openings on the upper and lower sides of the battery body 1 to effectively promote air circulation after it is installed, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation. Through this structure, the battery body 1 can maintain an appropriate temperature during operation, avoiding performance degradation or damage due to overheating. This structure not only ensures efficient heat dissipation of the battery body 1 but also provides stable and reliable power support for the vehicle's electrical system.

[0037] Therefore, in the technical solution provided by the present invention, the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 are spaced apart in the first horizontal direction, the connecting plate 23 connects the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22, and the two connecting plates 23 are spaced apart in the second horizontal direction, so that the first mounting bracket 21, the second mounting bracket 22 and the two connecting plates 23 enclose an installation area, the battery body 1 is installed in the installation area, and the fuse box 3 is installed on the side of the second mounting bracket 22 away from the installation area. The battery body 1 and the fuse box 3 are connected together by the cooperation of the first mounting bracket 21, the second mounting bracket 22 and the connecting plate 23. When the battery body 1 moves due to a car collision, it drives the fuse box 3 to move together, thereby reducing the problem of damage caused by mutual collision between the battery body 1 and the fuse box 3.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 By using the connecting plate 23, the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 are tightly connected together, thereby effectively connecting the battery body 1 mounted on the first mounting bracket 21 and the fuse box 3 mounted on the second mounting bracket 22. In this way, the electrical connection of the entire system is guaranteed, ensuring smooth current transmission between the battery body 1 and the fuse box 3, while also enhancing the stability and safety of the overall structure. This connection structure facilitates maintenance and repair, improving the reliability and ease of operation of the system.

[0039] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the connecting plate 23 includes a main board and a first sub-plate 231 and a second sub-plate 232 located at both ends of the main board in a first direction. The first sub-plate 231 is attached to the first mounting bracket 21, and the second sub-plate 232 is attached to the second mounting bracket 22.

[0040] Furthermore, the two ends of the motherboard are bent to form the first sub-board 231 and the second sub-board 232.

[0041] To better adapt to the installation environment and improve structural strength, the two ends of the main board are bent to form the first sub-board 231 and the second sub-board 232. This bending structure not only increases the rigidity of the connecting plate 23, but also allows the connecting plate 23 to better fit the mounting bracket during installation, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability. Through this structure, the connecting plate 23 can effectively connect the two mounting brackets together, ensuring the stable operation of the entire system.

[0042] In addition, to further enhance the structural strength and impact resistance of the connecting plate 23, the middle part of the main board can be designed with a structure with reinforcing ribs. These reinforcing ribs can be longitudinal or transverse, or a combination of both, to provide additional support and rigidity. The layout and size of the reinforcing ribs can be optimized according to the needs of actual applications to ensure that the connecting plate 23 can maintain its shape and function when subjected to vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation, thereby protecting the battery body 1 and fuse box 3 from damage.

[0043] In some embodiments, the surface of the connecting plate 23 may also be specially treated, such as by coating it with an anti-corrosion coating to improve its durability and service life in harsh environments. The anti-corrosion coating may be made of plastic, rubber or other chemical-resistant materials to prevent moisture, salt spray or other corrosive substances from damaging the connecting plate 23.

[0044] Finally, to facilitate installation and maintenance, the design of the connection plate 23 may include quick-connect mechanisms, such as clips, bolts, or clamps, allowing the connection plate 23 to be quickly connected to or removed from the mounting bracket. This structure not only improves installation efficiency but also allows users to easily replace or upgrade battery components without tools, thereby reducing maintenance costs and increasing system flexibility.

[0045] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the first sub-plate 231 extends along the first horizontal direction and is located within the installation area, while the second sub-plate 232 extends along the second horizontal direction and abuts against the vehicle wheel arch. The first sub-plate 231 extends toward the first horizontal direction, so that there is enough space between the first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket to place the battery body 1. The distance that the first sub-plate 231 extends toward the first horizontal direction is the width of the battery body 1 toward the side of the first sub-plate 231, thereby ensuring that the installation area enclosed by the first mounting bracket 21, the second mounting bracket 22, and the two connecting plates 23 has enough space to place the battery body 1.

[0046] The second subplate 232 is positioned in the second horizontal direction for easy installation on the second mounting bracket 22. It is also positioned to contact and abut against the wheel arch, so that the gap between the wheel arch and the battery body is occupied by the second subplate 232. This allows the second subplate 232 to support the battery body in the second horizontal direction, making it difficult for the battery body 1 to move in the second horizontal direction, thereby improving the stability of the battery body and fuse box 3 after installation.

[0047] After the battery body 1 is installed on the first mounting bracket 21, its bottom may come into contact with the car body due to its size, which will reduce the heat dissipation efficiency of the bottom of the battery body 1. Therefore, it is necessary to support the bottom of the battery body 1 in mid-air to avoid contact with the car body. Specifically, the connecting plate 23 also includes a support part 233 located at its bottom, which is used to support the battery body 1.

[0048] Furthermore, the support portions 233 on both connecting plates 23 extend toward the center of the mounting area.

[0049] The support part 233 is located at the bottom of the first sub-plate 231 to support the bottom of the battery body. In order to prevent the bottom of the battery from touching the vehicle body, the support part 233 should be positioned to form a certain gap with the vehicle body. Therefore, the length of the first sub-plate 231 extending towards the bottom needs to be limited. The bottom of the first sub-plate 231 cannot contact the vehicle body, so as to ensure that the support part 233 located at the bottom of the first sub-plate 231 also does not contact the vehicle body, thus forming a certain gap. At the same time, the support parts 233 at the bottom of the two first sub-plates 231 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction so that the bottom of the battery body 1 is not completely sealed inside by the support part 233, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the bottom of the battery body.

[0050] The support portion 233 and the first subplate 231 work together to protect the bottom and the sides in the second horizontal direction of the battery body 1, reducing the impact damage to the battery body 1 from the second horizontal direction and the bottom. The first mounting bracket 21 and the second mounting bracket 22 work together to protect the battery body 1 from the impact damage from the first horizontal direction, thereby reducing the damage to the battery body 1 when the car is hit and reducing the probability of damage to the car's electrical system.

[0051] When installing the battery body 1, firstly, install two connecting plates 23 on the side of the first mounting bracket 21 facing the second mounting bracket 22, and the two connecting plates 23 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction. Then, place the bottom of the battery body 1 on the two supporting parts 233, and then fix the battery body 1 on the supporting parts 233. After the battery body 1 is fixed, install the second mounting bracket 22 on the side of the two connecting plates 23 away from the first mounting bracket 21, that is, install the second mounting bracket 22 on the two second sub-plates 232, thereby surrounding the battery body 1 within the installation area. Finally, install the fuse box 3 on the side of the second mounting bracket 22 away from the second sub-plate 232 to complete the connection of the battery body 1, the fuse box 3 and the mounting mechanism 2.

[0052] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting plate 23 is bent to form the support portion 233.

[0053] The shape of the support part 233 is designed to effectively distribute the weight of the battery body, thereby reducing local pressure on the connecting plate 23 and improving the stability and durability of the overall structure. The surface of the support part 233 can be made of anti-slip material to ensure that the battery body 1 will not shift due to vibration or impact during vehicle operation. In addition, the edges of the support part 233 can be designed with a smooth shape to avoid injury to operators during installation or disassembly. The fixing method between the connecting plate 23 and the battery body 1 can be bolts, clips or other mechanical connection methods to ensure the firmness of the battery body 1 under various working environments. The entire battery assembly installation process is simple and quick, making it easy for maintenance personnel to complete replacement or maintenance work in a limited time.

[0054] Even if the battery body 1 is installed securely, it may still sway relative to the first mounting bracket 21. In particular, the top of the battery body 1 is not restricted, so it is easy to collide with the support part 233 during the swaying process. The support part 233 is made of a hard material to ensure the stability of supporting the battery body 1, which may cause the bottom of the battery body 1 to be damaged during the collision with the support part 233. Therefore, it is necessary to set an auxiliary part between the support part 233 and the battery body 1 to reduce the damage from the collision. Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, a buffer is provided between the support part 233 and the battery body 1.

[0055] The buffer can be a rubber pad. By setting a rubber pad between the support part 233 and the battery body on the support part 233, the battery body will collide with the rubber pad instead of directly colliding with the support part 233 when it moves. The rubber pad is relatively soft and has a certain cushioning capacity, which can reduce the impact intensity when the battery body 1 collides with the support part 233, thereby reducing the damage to the battery body 1 in the collision.

[0056] When the battery body 1 shakes, it may come into contact with the two first sub-plates 231, causing frictional damage. Therefore, a buffer can also be provided on the first sub-plate 231 so that the battery body 1 will not directly contact the first sub-plate 231 when shaking, but will contact the buffer on the first sub-plate 231 and rub against the buffer. The buffer reduces the damage caused by friction.

[0057] After the mounting mechanism 2, the battery body 1, and the fuse box 3 are connected, the connected structure needs to be installed on the vehicle body. Different vehicle models have different dimensions, so an auxiliary part is needed to install the entire connection structure on the vehicle body. Specifically, in the implementation of the present invention, the battery assembly also includes a mounting plate 24, which is fixed to the bottom end of the first mounting bracket 21 and is used to connect to the vehicle body.

[0058] Mounting plate 24 is specifically installed on the rear side of the vehicle's longitudinal beam and between the two wheel arches, so that the battery body 1 is installed in the rear compartment of the vehicle. When mounting plate 24 is installed on the vehicle body, multiple welding points can be preset on mounting plate 24, and positioning points corresponding to the welding points of mounting plate 24 can be set on the vehicle body. The welding points are aligned with the positioning points, and then the mounting plate 24 is fixed to the vehicle body by welding. Then, the first mounting bracket 21 is installed on mounting plate 24, so that the battery body 1 and fuse box 3 can be installed on the vehicle.

[0059] A wheel cover is provided in the first horizontal direction, so the mounting plate 24 extends toward the second horizontal direction, which is the front-rear direction of the battery body 1, that is, toward the vehicle longitudinal beam and away from the vehicle longitudinal beam. The mounting plate 24 is located below the support part 233, that is, below the mounting area. A protective cover can be provided on the mounting plate 24 and fastened to the area at the bottom of the battery body 1 that needs protection, such as the battery power line interface or other wiring harness interface.

[0060] Mounting plate 24 extends in a second horizontal direction, which corresponds exactly to the front-rear direction of battery body 1. In other words, the extension direction of mounting plate 24 is parallel to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle and also consistent with the direction away from the longitudinal beam of the vehicle. This structure enables mounting plate 24 to better support and reinforce the vehicle body structure, thereby improving the stability and safety of the entire vehicle.

[0061] Furthermore, the mounting plate 24 is positioned below the support portion 233, i.e., on the lower side of the mounting area. This positioning not only makes full use of the limited space but also effectively distributes the weight of the vehicle body, reducing pressure on other parts of the vehicle. More importantly, a protective cover can be installed on the mounting plate 24. This protective cover can be tightly fastened to the area at the bottom of the battery body 1 that needs protection. In this way, the battery's power cable interface or other wiring harness interfaces can be effectively protected, avoiding damage caused by external factors such as dust and moisture. This ensures the normal operation of the battery and extends its service life. Through this structure, not only is the overall performance of the vehicle improved, but users are also provided with a safer and more reliable driving experience.

[0062] During the installation of the entire battery assembly, multiple welding points are first pre-set on the mounting plate 24, and positioning points of the same number as the welding points are set at appropriate positions on the rear side of the vehicle's longitudinal beam. The welding points are aligned with the positioning points, and then the mounting plate 24 is welded and fixed to the vehicle. Next, the first mounting bracket 21 is installed on the mounting plate 24. Then, the first auxiliary plates 231 of the two mounting plates 24 are spaced apart along the second horizontal direction near the left and right sides of the first mounting plate. Next, the battery body 1 is placed into the installation area against the first mounting bracket 21 until the bottom of the battery body 1 is against the support part 233. After the bottom of the battery body 1 is against the support part 233, the battery body 1 is then placed... The first mounting bracket 21 is fixed in place, and then the second mounting bracket 22 is installed on the second sub-plate 232 of the two mounting plates 24. Next, the fuse box 3 is installed on the side of the second mounting plate away from the installation area, and the fuse box 3 is electrically connected to the battery body 1. After completing the above steps, the cable harness is passed through the cable harness channel reserved in the mounting plate 24, ensuring that the cable harness is neat and orderly. Then, the cable harness is connected to the power cord interface of the battery body 1, ensuring that the connection is firm and reliable. Finally, the entire battery assembly is inspected to ensure that all components are correctly installed, without looseness or damage, and necessary tests are performed to verify the functionality and safety of the battery assembly.

[0063] In addition, this application also provides a car that includes the battery assembly in the above embodiments. Since the car adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0064] During the use of a car, the maintenance and inspection of the battery components are important aspects of ensuring the normal operation of the vehicle. For example, an inspection window is provided on the mounting plate 24, through which the condition of the battery body 1 can be easily observed, such as the electrolyte level and the charging and discharging status of the battery. In addition, the design of the inspection window also allows maintenance personnel to perform quick inspections without disassembling the battery body 1, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and reducing vehicle downtime.

[0065] To further improve the efficiency and safety of battery components, an intelligent monitoring system can be designed. This system can monitor key parameters such as battery voltage, current, and temperature in real time, and transmit the data to a display screen in the driver's cab or remotely via a smartphone application through the vehicle communication system. When an abnormal battery condition is detected, the system will automatically issue an alarm to remind the driver to check or maintain the battery in a timely manner, thereby avoiding vehicle breakdowns or safety accidents caused by battery failure.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present invention using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
