[0041] The first direction described in this embodiment is Figure 2 The X direction shown in is the length direction of the battery module 200; the second direction is Figure 2 The Y direction shown in , that is, the width direction of the battery module 200 , the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2In this embodiment, the battery pack includes a box body 100 and a battery module 200. The box body 100 is provided with a plurality of accommodating cavities 101. The battery module 200 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 101. The battery module 200 includes a support frame 210, at least one connecting bracket 220 and a plurality of single cells 231. The support frame 210 is fixed to the inner wall of the box body 100. The plurality of single cells 231 are arranged along a first direction to form a cell group 230. The support frame 210 is provided with a plurality of the battery cell groups 230 arranged along the second direction, the connecting bracket 220 is sandwiched between two adjacent battery cell groups 230, the connecting bracket 220 is fixed to at least one of the battery cell groups 230, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; wherein, the support frame 210 is filled with foam glue 240, and the foam glue 240 is used to bond the support frame 210, at least one connecting bracket 220 and a plurality of single battery cells 231 into one body.

[0043] The battery pack in this embodiment uses the accommodating cavity 101 of the box body 100 to accommodate the battery module 200. The battery module 200 includes a support frame 210, a connecting bracket 220 and a single battery cell 231. The single battery cell 231 is arranged into a battery cell group 230 along a first direction and then fixed on the connecting bracket 220. Subsequently, a plurality of battery cell groups 230 in groups are placed into the support frame 210 along a second direction. The support frame 210 is filled with foam glue 240 to fix the battery cell group 230, the connecting bracket 220 and the support frame 210 to form a whole. Finally, the battery module 200 is fixedly connected to the box body 100 by fixing the support frame 210 in the box body 100. The battery pack can improve the mechanical strength of the battery module 200 in the battery pack by filling with foam glue 240, prevent the connecting bracket 220 from falling off the single battery cell 231 due to looseness, and improve the safety and reliability of the battery pack. At the same time, its structure is simple and there is no need to use additional brackets to fix the single battery cell 231, which simplifies the production process and can reduce production costs while improving production efficiency.

[0044] In this embodiment, the box body 100 is provided with a accommodating cavity 101, that is, it only corresponds to accommodating one battery module 200. The box body 100 is also provided with other cavities for accommodating electrical components such as a battery management unit and a thermal management unit, which will not be repeated here.

[0045] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The box body 100 includes a bottom guard plate 110 at the bottom, the top wall of the bottom guard plate 110 carries the battery module 200, and the support frame 210 is fixed to the bottom guard plate 110. Specifically, the bottom guard plate 110 is used to carry the battery module 200, has high mechanical strength, can prevent the bottom of the battery module 200 from being damaged by foreign objects, and is the main load-bearing unit of the entire box body 100.

[0046] Optionally, a fixing portion 211 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 210 in a direction away from the single battery cell 231 and extending outward, and the fixing portion 211 is detachably connected to the bottom guard plate 110. It should be noted that the fixing portion 211 is also a flange extending outward from the bottom of the support frame 210, and the fixing portion 211 is detachably connected to the bottom guard plate 110 by bolts, thereby realizing a reliable connection between the battery module 200 and the box body 100, thereby preventing the battery module 200 from loosening when the battery pack is in a vibrating environment, and further improving the reliability of the battery pack.

[0047] In this embodiment, the top wall of the bottom guard plate 110 is provided with a heat-conducting structural adhesive 250, the bottom wall of the foaming adhesive 240 is higher than the bottom wall of the single battery cell 231, and the bottom of the single battery cell 231 is fixed to the heat-conducting structural adhesive 250. When the battery module 200 generates heat during discharge or charging, the heat-conducting structural adhesive 250 can conduct the generated heat outward from the bottom of the single battery cell 231 to avoid the accumulation of heat inside the battery pack. At the same time, the heat-conducting structural adhesive 250 can also provide sufficient bonding strength to firmly fix the battery module 200 inside the box 100, further improving the reliability and safety of the battery pack.

[0048] Specifically, an overflowing glue groove 112 is provided between the fixing portion 211 and the bottom guard plate 110 for the thermally conductive structural adhesive 250 to overflow. After the bottom guard plate 110 is fully coated with the thermally conductive structural adhesive 250, the battery module 200 is placed on the thermally conductive structural adhesive 250, and then the thermally conductive structural adhesive 250 overflows from the overflowing glue groove 112. After being installed in place, the support frame 210 can be fixed on the bottom guard plate 110. The setting of the overflowing glue groove 112 can discharge the excess thermally conductive structural adhesive 250, avoiding the battery module 200 and the bottom guard plate 110 from being improperly installed due to excessive thermally conductive structural adhesive 250, thereby improving the structural reliability of the battery pack.

[0049] Furthermore, a liquid cooling plate 111 is provided on the bottom wall of the bottom guard plate 110. A liquid cooling channel is formed between the liquid cooling plate 111 and the bottom guard plate 110, and the heat is conducted away from the bottom of the single battery cell 231 through the flow of the coolant, so as to realize the reliable and safe operation of the battery pack.

[0050] Optionally, the top port of the support frame 210 and the top wall of the foam glue 240 are not higher than the top wall of the single cell 231. This arrangement can expose the poles at the top of the single cell 231, facilitate welding of electrical connection components such as busbars, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the single cell 231 is a cylindrical cell, the side wall of the connecting bracket 220 is wavy, and the single cell 231 is matched with the side wall of the connecting bracket 220. In this embodiment, the connecting bracket 220 is bonded and fixed to the cell group 230. The connecting bracket 220 configured in this way can increase the contact area with the single cell 231, improve the reliability of the bonding and fixing of the single cell 231 and the connecting bracket 220, and at the same time can reduce the size of the battery module 200 along the second direction, thereby improving the energy density of the battery pack.

[0052] In this embodiment, the connecting bracket 220 is made of plastic, plastic or rubber and has a certain elasticity, which can prevent collision between the connected single cells 231 after the battery pack is squeezed, play a buffering role, and improve the safety of the battery pack.

[0053] Furthermore, the height of the connecting bracket 220 is 20% to 50% of the height of the single cell 231. If the proportion of the height of the connecting bracket 220 to the height of the single cell 231 is too small, it cannot play a supporting role, and if the proportion is too large, it will produce greater redundancy, increase the weight of the battery module 200 and reduce the mass energy density. In this embodiment, the height of the connecting bracket 220 is 28.6% of the height of the single cell 231, that is, the height of the single cell 231 is 70 mm, and the height of the connecting bracket 220 is 20 mm.

[0054] Optionally, it is characterized in that the height difference between the top of the connecting bracket 220 and the top of the single battery 231 is 5mm to 10mm, and the height difference between the bottom of the connecting bracket 230 and the bottom of the single battery 231 is 30mm to 50mm. Such a setting can make the connecting bracket 231 located in the middle and upper part of the single battery 231, avoid interference with the fixing structure at the bottom of the single battery 231, such as the thermal conductive structural glue 250, etc., and circumferentially position and fix the single battery 231 from the upper and lower ends, so that the stability of the battery module 200 is higher.

[0055] In this embodiment, a filling gap 232 is formed between the two battery cell groups 230, and the size of at least one of the filling gaps 232 along the second direction is greater than the size of the other filling gaps 232 along the second direction. Specifically, the filling gap 232 between two connected battery cell groups 230 is the thickness of a connecting bracket 220, and every four battery cell groups 230 form a whole, wherein three connecting brackets 220 are arranged between the four battery cell groups 230, and a thickened connecting bracket 220 is arranged every four battery cell groups 230, so that the width of the filling gap 232 here is greater than the width of other filling gaps 232, so that when the foam glue 240 is filled, it is convenient for the foam glue 240 to flow and fill every corner, so as to achieve complete filling of the foam glue 240, and further improve the reliability of the battery pack.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present embodiment also provides a battery pack production method, which is used to produce a battery pack as described in any of the above schemes, including the following steps: S1, assembling a cell group 230: arranging a plurality of the above-mentioned single cells 231 along a first direction, and then fixing a connecting bracket 220 to a circumferential side wall of the above-mentioned single cells 231 to form the above-mentioned cell group 230; S2, placing the plurality of the above-mentioned cell groups 230 in step S1 on a lower mold 10 along a second direction, and then surrounding the support frame 210 around the outer periphery of the plurality of the above-mentioned cell groups 230; S3, placing an upper mold 20 is placed on the top of the above-mentioned support frame 210, and the above-mentioned upper mold 20, the above-mentioned support frame 210 and the above-mentioned lower mold 10 form a closed space, and the above-mentioned upper mold 20 is provided with a glue injection hole 21; S4, the above-mentioned foam glue 240 is injected into the above-mentioned closed space from the above-mentioned glue injection hole 21, and the above-mentioned upper mold 20 and the above-mentioned lower mold 10 are removed after the above-mentioned foam glue 240 solidifies, so as to obtain the above-mentioned battery module 200; S5, the above-mentioned battery module 200 is placed in the accommodating cavity 101 of the above-mentioned box body 100, and the above-mentioned support frame 210 is fixed to the above-mentioned box body 100.

[0057] The battery pack production method in this embodiment first arranges the single cells 231 into a cell group 230 along a first direction, and then fixes them on the connecting bracket 220, and then puts a plurality of cell groups 230 into the support frame 210 along a second direction, and fills the support frame 210 with foam glue 240, so that the cell group 230, the connecting bracket 220 and the support frame 210 are fixed to form a whole, and finally the battery module 200 is fixedly connected to the box body 100 by fixing the supporting frame 210 in the box body 100. The battery pack production method can improve the mechanical strength of the battery module 200 in the battery pack by filling the foam glue 240, prevent the connecting bracket 220 from falling off the single cell 231 due to looseness, and improve the safety and reliability of the battery pack. At the same time, its structure is simple, and no additional bracket is needed to fix the single cell 231, which simplifies the production process, can reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.

[0058] Optionally, after step S1, step S11 is further included, spraying a release agent: spraying a release agent on the top wall of the lower mold 10 and the bottom wall of the upper mold 20.

The provision of the cell positioning holes 12 can facilitate the arrangement of the single cells 231 into the cell group 230 along the first direction, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0060] Optionally, the top wall of the lower mold 10 is provided with a positioning boss 11 that cooperates with the support frame 210, and the positioning boss 11 is provided with the battery cell positioning hole 12. The positioning boss 11 is provided so that a cavity is formed between the bottom of the single battery cell 231 and the inner wall of the support frame 210 when the foam glue 240 is poured, so that when the battery module 200 is subsequently placed in the box 100, it is convenient to set the heat conductive structural glue 250 in the cavity to achieve cooling and heat dissipation of the single battery cell 231.

[0061] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the upper mold 20 is provided with a plurality of cell avoidance holes 23, and the tops of the single cells 231 are inserted into the cell avoidance holes 23 one by one. The provision of the cell avoidance holes 23 can prevent the foam glue 240 from contaminating the poles on the tops of the single cells 231, and can make the heights of the top walls of the single cells 231 at the same level, which is convenient for subsequent welding of the busbar.
