Description

Chassis and vehicle Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of transportation vehicles, and in particular to a chassis and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, the mainstream pure electric vehicles on the market use independent battery packs. If functional pipelines such as automobile brake pipes, air spring air pipes, cooling water pipes and rear air-conditioning refrigerant pipes need to extend from the front to the rear of the vehicle, they need to pass through the area near the battery pack; the above-mentioned functional pipelines usually pass through the gap between an outer beam independent of the battery pack and the middle longitudinal beam of the main frame (or the body rocker beam).

[0003] CTC (Cell to Chassis) technology is a new technology for the integration of power battery systems. The battery cells are directly integrated into the chassis. The outer beam of the CTC battery is combined with the middle longitudinal beam of the chassis main frame (or the body rocker beam). When the above-mentioned functional pipelines are run from front to back, there is no more reasonable layout plan. Therefore, it cannot meet the requirements of anti-collision protection and saving battery space.

[0004] Other traditional fuel vehicles and non-CTC technology electric vehicles also have the problem of unreasonable layout of functional pipelines, which makes it easy for the functional pipelines to collide with each other and occupy the space of the entire vehicle.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present application provides a chassis and a vehicle that can provide a reasonable layout space for functional pipelines and meet the requirements of preventing bumps and reducing the space occupied by the entire vehicle.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a chassis, which may include: a main frame and multiple functional pipelines; the main frame includes a first longitudinal beam and a second longitudinal beam spaced apart along the width of the vehicle; to reduce the functional pipelines from encroaching on the vehicle space, at least some of the functional pipelines are routed through the middle section of the first longitudinal beam. Furthermore, the first longitudinal beam can provide physical protection for the functional pipelines, preventing them from being impacted by other chassis structures.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, the chassis can be a CTC chassis and further include a battery cell assembly, which is positioned between the middle section of the first longitudinal beam and the middle section of the second longitudinal beam. In this case, the middle section of the first longitudinal beam serves as the first battery outer edge beam, and the middle section of the second longitudinal beam serves as the second battery outer edge beam. This improves battery pack efficiency, effectively increasing both power and energy density, while also reducing the thermal impact of functional piping on battery cell performance.

[0009] In a specific feasible implementation plan, in order to alleviate the problem of functional pipelines being too concentrated in one longitudinal beam, a part of the functional pipelines can be made to pass through the middle section of the first longitudinal beam, while another part of the functional pipelines can be made to pass through the middle section of the second longitudinal beam. Thus, the problem of the functional pipelines being too densely routed in and out, affecting the equipment layout at the front or rear section of the vehicle, and causing wear and heat effects between the functional pipelines can be alleviated.

[0010] In a specific feasible implementation scheme, in order to balance the cross-sectional areas of the functional pipelines passing through the first cavity and the second cavity as much as possible and improve the space utilization efficiency, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the functional pipelines passing through the middle section of the first longitudinal beam can be 0.85 to 1.15 times the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the functional pipelines passing through the middle section of the second longitudinal beam.

[0011] In a specific feasible implementation scheme, the middle section of the first longitudinal beam has multiple cavities, one of which is the first cavity, and all functional pipelines located in the middle section of the first longitudinal beam are passed through the first cavity, which makes it more convenient and quicker to assemble the functional pipelines; similarly, the middle section of the second longitudinal beam has multiple cavities, one of which is the second cavity, and all functional pipelines in the middle section of the second longitudinal beam are passed through the second cavity, which makes it more convenient and quicker to assemble the functional pipelines.

[0012] In a specific feasible implementation scheme, along the vertical direction, the middle section of the first longitudinal beam includes multiple layers of cavities. In order to utilize the upper and lower layers of cavities in the vertical direction to provide buffering, the first cavity is located in a layer of cavity in the middle. Similarly, along the vertical direction, the middle section of the second longitudinal beam includes multiple layers of cavities. The second cavity is located in a layer of cavity in the middle, and buffering can also be provided by utilizing the upper and lower layers of cavities in the vertical direction.

[0013] In a specific feasible implementation scheme, along the width direction, the layer where the first cavity is located includes at least two cavities, wherein the first cavity is a cavity away from the middle section of the second longitudinal beam, thereby reducing the thermal impact between the heat-generating components (such as battery core components) between the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam; similarly, along the width direction, the layer where the second cavity is located includes at least two cavities, wherein the second cavity is a cavity away from the middle section of the first longitudinal beam, thereby also reducing the thermal impact between the heat-generating components (such as battery core components) between the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam.

[0014] In a specific feasible implementation plan, if the functional pipeline collides with the inner wall of the first cavity during the driving of the vehicle, noise is likely to be generated. In order to alleviate this problem, a plurality of first brackets are fixedly arranged in sequence in the first cavity, and each functional pipeline located in the middle section of the second longitudinal beam passes through these first brackets in sequence and is spaced apart from the inner wall of the first cavity, thereby reducing the impact on the inner wall of the first cavity; similarly, a plurality of second brackets can also be fixedly arranged in sequence in the second cavity, and each functional pipeline located in the middle section of the second longitudinal beam passes through the second brackets in sequence and is spaced apart from the inner wall of the second cavity, so as to reduce the noise generated by the collision between the functional pipeline and the inner wall of the second cavity.

[0015] The first bracket and the second bracket can have various forms. In a specific feasible embodiment, the first bracket may include a first limit block, and each functional pipeline located in the middle section of the first longitudinal beam passes through these first limit blocks in sequence, and each first limit block is fixed to the inner wall of the first cavity, so as to provide stable support for the functional pipeline; the second bracket may also include a second limit block, and each functional pipeline located in the middle section of the second longitudinal beam passes through the above-mentioned second limit blocks in sequence, and each second limit block is fixed to the inner wall of the second cavity, so as to provide stable support for the functional pipeline.

[0016] In a specific feasible implementation scheme, the first limit block can be made of elastic material. In this case, the first limit block and the inner wall of the first cavity can achieve an interference fit, thereby utilizing elasticity to enhance the fixing effect; similarly, the second limit block is also made of elastic material, and the second limit block and the inner wall of the second cavity can also achieve an interference fit, thereby utilizing elasticity to enhance the fixing effect.

[0017] In a specific possible implementation scheme, the first limit block can be made of rubber to utilize the high friction coefficient of rubber to strengthen the fixing effect with the inner wall of the first cavity through friction; similarly, the second limit block can also be made of rubber to utilize the higher friction force to strengthen the fixing effect with the inner wall of the second cavity.

[0018] In a specific feasible embodiment, the distance between each two adjacent first brackets can be between 600 mm and 900 mm. Within this range, the first brackets will not be too sparse to cause the functional pipelines to sag or even contact each other, or the first brackets or the second brackets will not be too densely arranged, increasing costs; similarly, the distance between each two adjacent second brackets can be between 600 mm and 900 mm.

[0019] In a specific feasible implementation scheme, the distance between each two adjacent functional pipelines located in the middle section of the first longitudinal beam is between 6 mm and 30 mm, so as to alleviate the problem that the different functional pipelines cannot be effectively isolated due to the small distance. When the vehicle is bumpy, the functional pipelines are prone to collision and wear. At the same time, it alleviates the problem that the distance between different functional pipelines is too large, which does not contribute to collision avoidance between different functional pipelines but leads to excessive space occupation. Similarly, the distance between each two adjacent functional pipelines located in the middle section of the second longitudinal beam is between 6 mm and 30 mm, which also has a similar effect.

[0020] In one specific embodiment, for safety reasons, the functional piping running through the middle section of the first longitudinal beam includes a brake pipe; and the functional piping running through the middle section of the second longitudinal beam also includes a brake pipe. Even if the brake pipe in one of the middle sections of the first and second longitudinal beams is damaged by a collision, the brake pipe in the other longitudinal beam can still provide braking in an emergency, thus meeting safety requirements.

[0021] In a second aspect, a vehicle is provided, comprising an upper body and a chassis according to any of the above technical solutions; the upper body is fixedly connected to the first longitudinal beam and the second longitudinal beam. The beneficial effects thereof can be referred to the chassis provided by the above technical solutions. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Main frame: It is a frame structure located at the lower part of the upper body and runs through the vehicle from front to back. It includes the front section, middle section and rear section. Its function is to support and connect the various assemblies of the vehicle, such as the upper body, chassis, power battery and electric drive system, so that each assembly maintains a relatively correct position and withstands various loads inside and outside the vehicle.

[0044] The front section of the main frame refers to the area of ​​the main frame used to carry the front drive system and is connected to the front suspension or wheels. It is the part of the main frame located in front of the firewall or front torsion box.

[0045] The middle section of the main frame: refers to the main frame area used to carry the battery pack system and is connected to the upper body passenger compartment. It is the part of the main frame located between the front and rear torque boxes.

[0046] The rear section of the main frame refers to the area of ​​the main frame used to carry the rear drive system and is connected to the rear suspension or wheels. It is the part of the main frame located after the rear torsion box.

[0047] To provide a clearer understanding of the chassis provided in the embodiments of this application, its application scenarios are described below. Referring to Figure 20 in the embodiments described below, the chassis 01 provided in the embodiments of this application can be a skateboard chassis, a chassis for a monocoque vehicle, or a chassis for a non-monocoque vehicle. It is manufactured separately from the upper body 02, which can be assembled to the upper surface of the chassis 01 by bolts or welding, thereby forming a complete vehicle.

[0048] In a CTC chassis, the battery cells are directly integrated into the chassis. The CTC battery outer beam is integrated with the chassis main frame's mid-section longitudinal beam (also known as the body rocker beam), leaving no space between the two for functional pipes such as the brake pipe, air spring air pipe, cooling water pipe, and rear air conditioning refrigerant pipe. These various functional pipes require new layout space in the front-to-back direction, which must meet requirements such as anti-collision protection, easy maintenance, and battery space conservation. Other traditional fuel vehicles and non-CTC electric vehicles also suffer from the problem of unreasonable functional pipe layout, which easily leads to collisions and encroachment on the overall vehicle space.

[0049] FIG1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the chassis provided by an embodiment of the present application. FIG1 only shows the partial structure related to the inventive concept of the embodiment of the present application. Taking the CTC chassis as an example, please refer to FIG1. ​​The chassis provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a main frame, a battery assembly (not shown in the figure) and a plurality of functional pipelines. The battery assembly includes a plurality of battery cells. The functional pipelines may include brake pipes, air spring air pipes, cooling water pipes and air conditioning refrigerant pipes. The main frame includes a first longitudinal beam 1 and a second longitudinal beam 2. The first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 both extend along the longitudinal direction Y and are arranged along the width direction X. The direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction Y and the width direction X is the vertical direction Z. The width direction X refers to the vehicle width direction, the longitudinal direction Y refers to the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, and the vertical direction Z refers to the height direction of the vehicle. The first longitudinal beam 1 includes a front section L1, a middle section L2 and a rear section L3 from front to back along the longitudinal direction Y. The second longitudinal beam 2 includes a front section R1, a middle section R2 and a rear section R3 from front to back along the longitudinal direction Y. The front section L1, the middle section L2 and the rear section L3 are respectively arranged one-to-one relative to the front section R1, the middle section R2 and the rear section R3 in the width direction X; the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 are connected by multiple cross beams, which may specifically include a front end capping cross beam 3 and a rear end capping cross beam 4. The front end capping cross beam 3 connects the free end of the front section L1 and the free end of the front section R1, and the rear end capping cross beam 4 connects the free end of the rear section L3 and the free end of the rear section R3, so as to cap the two ends of the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 respectively.

[0050] A plurality of positioning beams 51 are also connected between the middle section L2 and the middle section R2. The plurality of positioning beams 51 are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction Y. The middle portion of each positioning beam 51 is connected in sequence through a positioning longitudinal beam 52 to separate the middle section L2 and the middle section R2 into a plurality of battery cell installation areas S1 arranged in a matrix. One or more battery cells can be fixed in each installation area. The middle section L2 and the middle section R2 serve as the outer edge beams for fixing the entire battery cell assembly. Therefore, the middle section L1 serves as the first battery outer edge beam 11, and the middle section L2 serves as the second battery outer edge beam 21. The number and arrangement of the positioning beams 51 and the positioning longitudinal beams 52 are not limited to the above-mentioned forms, and can be adjusted according to the number of battery cells. For example, the number of positioning longitudinal beams 52 can also be multiple.

[0051] The main frame can be prepared as follows: the rear end capping crossbeam 4, rear section L3, and rear section R3 are pre-assembled to form the front section of the main frame; the front end capping crossbeam 3, front section L1, and front section R1 are pre-assembled to form the rear section of the main frame; the middle section L2, middle section R2, positioning crossbeam 51, and positioning longitudinal beam 52 are pre-assembled to form the middle section of the main frame. Subsequently, the front, middle, and rear sections of the main frame are assembled in sequence to form a main frame. Specifically, the rear section L3 can be inserted into the opening at the corresponding end of the middle section L2 and fixed, the rear section R3 can be inserted into the opening at the corresponding end of the middle section R2 and fixed, the rear section L3 can be inserted into the opening at the corresponding end of the middle section L2 and fixed, the front section L1 can be inserted into the opening at the corresponding end of the middle section L2 and fixed, and the front section R1 can be inserted into the opening at the corresponding end of the middle section R2 and fixed. However, the arrangement is not limited to the above, and the front, middle and rear sections of the main frame can be integrally cast. The arrangement of the crossbeam between the first longitudinal beam 1 and the second longitudinal beam 2 is also not limited to the above, and the crossbeam can be arranged at different positions according to the requirements of structural stability.

[0052] Take an electric vehicle with a hydraulic brake system, air suspension system, liquid-cooled rear electric drive system, and third-row independent air conditioning system as an example. Figure 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of the first battery outer side beam 11 and the second battery outer side beam 21 in Figure 1, and Figure 3 shows a distribution diagram of the first pipeline group 12 and the second pipeline group 22 in Figure 2. Please refer to Figures 2 and 3. The above-mentioned functional pipelines are divided into two groups: the first pipeline group 12 and the second pipeline group 22. The first pipeline group 12 includes the brake pipe 124, the air spring air pipe 121, the cooling water pipe 122, and the cooling water pipe 123. The second pipeline group 22 includes the brake pipe 221, the air spring air pipe 222, the air conditioning refrigerant pipe 223, and the air conditioning refrigerant pipe 224. The cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123 are used for the liquid-cooled rear electric drive system, one of which can be a water supply pipe and the other can be a water return pipe. The two are arranged in the same battery outer beam to balance the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the functional pipes in the two battery outer beams and make full use of the space; the brake pipe 124 and the brake pipe 221 are used for the hydraulic braking system, and the brake pipe 124 and the brake pipe 221 are dispersed in different battery outer beams to be connected to the shock absorbers of the left and right wheels respectively, and once the brake pipe on one of the battery outer beams is damaged due to collision or other factors, the brake pipe in the battery outer beam on the other side still has the braking function, so as to brake in an emergency. Movement to meet safety requirements; air spring air pipe 121 and air spring air pipe 222 are used for the air suspension system, and both are dispersed in different battery outer beams so as to lead to the left and right wheel shock absorbers respectively; air conditioning refrigerant pipe 223 and air conditioning refrigerant pipe 224 are used for the third row independent air conditioning system. Both are hard pipes that need to maintain a specific pressure, one of which is a high-pressure refrigerant pipe and the other is a low-pressure refrigerant pipe. Both are set in the same battery outer beam so that they can be connected to the inlet and outlet positions of the battery outer beam using the same sealing flange, simplifying the structure and reducing costs. Among them, the sealing flange plays a fixed sealing role, alleviating the pressure change problem caused by leakage of the high-pressure refrigerant pipe and the low-pressure refrigerant pipe. The first pipeline group 12 runs through the first battery outer beam 11, and the second pipeline group 22 runs through the second battery outer beam 21.

[0053] The following describes the distribution of the first pipeline group 12 in the first battery outer side beam 11 and the distribution of the second pipeline group 22 in the second battery outer side beam 21. Figure 4 shows a cross-sectional view at AA in Figure 2. Referring to Figure 4, the first battery outer side beam 11 includes a first cavity layer 101, a second cavity layer 102, and a third cavity layer 103 from bottom to top along the vertical direction Z; wherein, in the width direction X, along the direction away from the second battery outer side beam 21, the first cavity layer 101 includes only a cavity 101a with a flat and wide cross-section, the second cavity layer 102 includes cavities 102a and 102b, and the third cavity layer 103 includes cavities 103a and 103b; the lower left corner of cavity 101a is concave to form a step structure, which on the one hand strengthens the side wall support strength of cavity 101a. On the other hand, it is convenient to avoid adjacent structures; the cross-sections of cavity 102a and cavity 102b are both close to square, and the sum of the widths of cavity 102a and cavity 102b is equal to the width of cavity 101a; the cross-sections of cavity 103a and cavity 103b are both right-angled trapezoids, the hypotenuse of cavity 103a and the hypotenuse of cavity 103b are arranged opposite to each other, and the hypotenuse of cavity 103a and the hypotenuse of cavity 103b are connected to each other to form a "V"-shaped groove, and the vertical sides of cavity 103b are respectively flush with the corresponding vertical sides of cavity 102b and the corresponding sides of cavity 101a; the first battery outer side beam 11 can be specifically prepared by extruding an aluminum profile into an integrated part to form an integrated side beam. The cross-section of the first battery outer side beam 11 adopts a structural design of 3 layers and 5 cavities, which is conducive to weight reduction while meeting the requirements of strength, rigidity and functional pipeline assembly space. Among them, the cavity 102b is used as the first cavity, and the brake pipe 124, air spring air pipe 121, cooling water pipe 122 and cooling water pipe 123 in the first pipeline group 12 all pass through the first cavity at the same time, which facilitates the one-time assembly of various functional pipelines in the first pipeline group 12 into the first battery outer edge beam 11, reducing the difficulty of assembly and improving production efficiency.

[0054] The first pipeline groups 12 are all located in the first cavity of the middle layer (the second cavity layer 102). The upper third cavity layer 103 and the lower first cavity layer 101 can both provide physical protection for the first cavity in the vertical direction and have a certain vibration reduction effect, which can ensure the stability of the fixed functional pipelines in the first pipeline group 12. At the same time, the first cavity is located at the position farthest from the battery cell in the second cavity layer 102, which is conducive to minimizing the heat exchange between the first pipeline group 12 and the battery cell, slowing down the performance degradation of the battery cell due to excessive heat, and slowing down the heating of the cooling water pipes 122 and 123 by the battery cell, affecting the cooling effect. As long as the first battery outer edge beam 11 has multiple layers of cavities distributed along the vertical direction Z, the first cavity can be located in a position in the middle layer of the cavity away from the second battery outer edge beam 21, wherein the layer where the first cavity is located has at least two cavities distributed along the width direction X.

[0055] In addition, along the extension direction of the first cavity (cavity 102b), a plurality of first limit blocks 13 are sequentially provided in the first cavity. The outer contour of the first limit block 13 is also roughly square to adapt to the inner wall of the first cavity. The functional pipelines in the first pipeline group 12 pass through each first limit block 13 in turn and are fixed to each first limit block 13. Specifically, a through hole corresponding to each functional pipeline in the first pipeline group 12 can be opened on each first limit block 13. The inner diameter of the through hole can be the same as the outer diameter of the corresponding functional pipeline, or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the corresponding functional pipeline, so as to achieve an interference fit; the outer contour of each first limit block 13 is adapted to the inner contour of the first cavity and is fixed to the inner wall of the first cavity. The first limit block 1 Specifically, it can be made of elastic materials such as rubber, so that it is squeezed and deformed by the inner wall of the first cavity, and has an interference fit with the inner wall of the first cavity, thereby simplifying the installation process of the first limit block 13 and facilitating the removal of the first limit block 13. In addition, the first limit block 13 made of elastic material can reduce surface scratches and damage to the functional pipelines, which is beneficial to protecting the functional pipelines and providing elastic buffering for the functional pipelines. Among them, the first limit block 13 is made of rubber, which not only has good elasticity but also has a large friction coefficient, so that it can be fixed to the inner wall of the first cavity by friction, and the friction force can also be used to fix the functional pipelines passing through.

[0056] Figure 5 shows a partial enlarged view of point E in Figure 3. Referring to Figure 5, the circumferential surface of the first limit block 13 forms a ridge 131 surrounding the first limit block 13. The first ridge 131 can be formed by guide slopes 132 located on both sides of the ridge. When the first limit block 13 is assembled into the first cavity, the guide slopes 132 can play a guiding role, and the ridge 131 is more easily squeezed and deformed by the inner wall of the first cavity to facilitate interference fit. It is also possible to form a raised curved surface on the circumferential surface of the first limit block 13 as the first ridge 131, which is also conducive to achieving interference fit.

[0057] However, the first limiting block 13 is not limited to being fixed in this manner. The first limiting block 13 may also be fixed by a structure such as a bolt that passes through the side wall of the first cavity.

[0058] The first limit block 13 supports each functional pipeline in the first pipeline group 12 respectively to limit its position, so that a certain gap can be maintained between each two functional pipelines, reducing the noise and wear caused by the collision between two adjacent functional pipelines, reducing heat exchange, and reducing the wear caused by the contact between each functional pipeline and the inner wall of the first cavity, and also reducing the collision between the functional pipeline and the inner wall of the first cavity during bumps to generate loud noise. Along the extension direction of the first cavity (cavity 102b), a plurality of first limit blocks 13 are sequentially arranged in the first cavity, and the specific number can be 2, 3, 4 and 5, etc. In order to alleviate the sagging of the functional pipeline at both ends, a first limit block 13 can be set at each position close to the two ends of the first battery outer beam 11; each functional pipeline is corrected in position every time it passes through a first limit block 13 to alleviate the sagging of the functional pipelines and contact with each other due to factors such as gravity. For this reason, the distance between each adjacent two first limit blocks 13 is between 600mm and 900mm, for example, it can be 600mm, 700mm, 750mm, 800mm, 850mm and 900mm, etc., to alleviate the situation where the functional pipelines sag and contact with each other due to the first limit blocks 13 being too sparsely arranged, or the first limit blocks 13 are too densely arranged, which increases the cost and increases the assembly of functional pipelines and The difficulty of the first limit block 13; the distance between each adjacent functional pipeline is between 6mm and 30mm, for example, it can be 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm and 30mm, etc., to alleviate the problem that different functional pipelines cannot be effectively isolated due to too small distance. When the vehicle is bumpy, collision and wear are prone to occur between the functional pipelines. At the same time, it alleviates the problem that the distance between different functional pipelines is too large, which does not contribute to collision avoidance between different functional pipelines but leads to excessive space occupation; and the position of the through holes opened on each first limit block 13 for the functional pipeline to pass through is the same, and each functional pipeline passes through the same position on different first limit blocks 13 to prevent the same functional pipeline from twisting due to changes in support position when passing through different first limit blocks 13, thereby damaging the functional pipeline, or causing the relative positions of different functional pipelines to change, or even contacting each other. Please refer to Figures 3 and 5 for details. In the first pipeline group 12, the brake pipe 124 and the air spring air pipe 121 are both located in the upper half of each first limit block 13, and in the width direction X, the air spring air pipe 121 is both located on the side of the brake pipe 124 away from the second battery outer side beam 21, and the cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123 are located in the lower half of each first limit block 13, and in the width direction X, the cooling water pipe 122 is both located on the side of the cooling water pipe 123 away from the second battery outer side beam 21.Therefore, the above brake pipe 124, air spring air pipe 121, cooling water pipe 122 and cooling water pipe 123 can all pass through the first cavity of the first battery outer beam 11 in a relatively straight manner, and are not prone to twisting, which is beneficial to protecting the structural stability of the above-mentioned functional pipelines and alleviating the problem of changes in the distance between different pipelines. However, it should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, a certain offset is allowed for the through holes corresponding to the same functional pipeline on different first limit blocks 13, as long as the order of the different functional pipelines does not change. For example, if the cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123 are offset a small distance as a whole in the direction away from the second battery outer beam 21, the different functional pipelines are not prone to contact, but the extension paths of the cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123 have changed to a certain extent. In Figure 3, the cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123 are both located in the lower half of the brake pipe 124 and the air spring air pipe 121. In certain unexpected circumstances, when the cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123 are damaged, the cooling water leaks out and is not easy to spill onto the brake pipe 124 and the air spring air pipe 121, thereby alleviating the impact on the performance of the brake pipe 124 and the air spring air pipe 121, such as rust due to contact with the cooling water, resulting in a decrease in the braking performance of the brake pipe 124 and a decrease in the spring performance of the air spring air pipe 121.

[0059] As described above, the brake pipe 124, air spring air pipe 121, cooling water pipe 122 and cooling water pipe 123 in the first pipeline group 12 utilize the cavity space in the first battery outer side beam 11 as a supporting structure, which can reduce the functional pipelines from occupying the battery cell layout space, which is beneficial to improving the battery grouping efficiency and effectively improving the power and energy density; it can also reduce the impact of the functional pipelines on the performance of the battery cell, such as slowing down the heat dissipated by the cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123, which causes the battery cell temperature to rise, or the cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123 are damaged, causing water to enter the battery cell and damage, or even a vehicle accident; at the same time, the side wall of the stronger structure of the first battery outer side beam 11 can be used to provide physical protection for the first pipeline group 12 to prevent other structures in the chassis from bumping against it. During assembly, it is only necessary to connect the above-mentioned functional pipelines to the first limit block 13, fix the first limit block 13 and the functional pipeline, and then assemble the fixed structure into the first cavity so that the first limit block 13 and the inner wall of the first cavity are interference fit, which is convenient for assembly; when the functional pipeline needs to be repaired, it can be pulled out from the first cavity, which is convenient for maintenance.

[0060] Moreover, the brake pipe 124, the air spring air pipe 121, the cooling water pipe 122 and the cooling water pipe 123 in the first pipeline group 12 are all concentrated in the first cavity. Compared with being dispersed in different cavities, the assembly quantity of the first limit block 13 can be reduced. By reducing the assembly quantity of the first limit block 13, only one set of first limit blocks 13 is needed for unified positioning and they are assembled into the first cavity at the same time, which reduces the assembly difficulty, reduces the assembly time and improves production efficiency.

[0061] In addition, as long as multiple first brackets are fixed in sequence in the first cavity, the functional pipelines of the first pipeline group 12 are limited by each first bracket in sequence so that they are spaced apart from the inner wall of the first cavity, which can reduce the noise generated; in addition to using the first limit block 13 to limit the functional pipelines in the first pipeline group 12, the first bracket can also use a rigid bracket that is detachably connected or welded to the inner wall of the first cavity to support the above-mentioned functional pipelines.

[0062] FIG6 shows a cross-sectional view at BB in FIG2 . Referring to FIG6 , the second battery outer edge beam 21 includes a fourth cavity layer 201 , a fifth cavity layer 202 and a sixth cavity layer 203 from bottom to top along the vertical direction Z; in the width direction X, along the direction away from the first battery outer edge beam 11 , the fourth cavity layer 201 includes a cavity 201a, the fifth cavity layer 202 includes a cavity 202a and a cavity 202b, the sixth cavity layer 203 includes a cavity 203a and a cavity 203b, and the fourth cavity layer 201 includes a cavity 201a, a fifth cavity layer 202 includes a cavity 202a and a cavity 202b, and the sixth cavity layer 203 includes a cavity 203a and a cavity 203b. The cavities in the fifth cavity layer 202 and the sixth cavity layer 203 are mirror images of the cavities in the first cavity layer 101, the second cavity layer 102 and the third cavity layer 103, respectively. For the relevant structural description and effect analysis, please refer to the relevant description of the first battery outer beam 11; the possible deformation of the second battery outer beam 21 can also refer to the relevant deformation of the first battery outer beam 11. In some cases, the structures of the two always maintain mirror symmetry, but in other cases, the two can also be in a non-mirror relationship. Among them, cavity 202b is the second cavity, and the brake pipe 221, air spring air pipe 222, air conditioning refrigerant pipe 223 and air conditioning refrigerant pipe 224 in the second pipeline group 22 all run through the second cavity, which is convenient for reducing assembly difficulty and improving production efficiency.

[0063] Figure 7 shows a partial enlarged view of point F in Figure 3 . Combined with Figures 6 and 7 , multiple second stoppers 23 are sequentially spaced within the second cavity. Each functional pipeline in the second pipeline assembly 22 passes through each second stopper 23 and is restrained by the second stopper 23, mitigating the noise and wear caused by collision between adjacent functional pipelines. For details on the installation and materials of the second stoppers 23, refer to the first stoppers 13.

[0064] The layout of the functional pipelines in the second pipeline group 22 can be referred to Figures 6 and 7. The brake pipe 221 and the air spring air pipe 222 are arranged side by side at the upper part, and, in the width direction X, the air spring air pipe 222 is located on the side of the brake pipe 221 away from the first battery outer side beam 11; the air conditioning refrigerant pipe 223 and the air conditioning refrigerant pipe 224 are arranged side by side below the brake pipe 221 and the air spring air pipe 222, which can alleviate the problem of refrigerant leakage in the air conditioning refrigerant pipe 223 and the air conditioning refrigerant pipe 224 affecting the performance of the brake pipe 221 and the air spring air pipe 222.

[0065] The arrangement of the functional pipelines in the second pipeline group 22 and the matching relationship with the second limit block 23 can refer to the first pipeline group 12.

[0066] The second stopper 23 is a type of second bracket and can also be replaced by other types of second brackets such as rigid brackets. Each functional pipeline of the second pipeline group 22 is sequentially limited by each second bracket to reduce noise problems. For other related information about the second bracket, please refer to the first bracket.

[0067] The first and second pipe groups 12 and 22 are arranged separately, rather than being concentrated in the first or second battery outer side beams 11 and 21. This alleviates the problem of overly dense routing of functional pipes, which can affect the layout of equipment in the front or rear sections of the vehicle and cause wear and heat between functional pipes. The air conditioning refrigerant pipes (223 and 224) and cooling water pipes (122 and 123) are respectively arranged in different battery outer side beams to alleviate heat exchange and affect the cooling effect.

[0068] The distance between each two adjacent second limit blocks 23 is between 600mm and 900mm, for example, it can be 600mm, 700mm, 750mm, 800mm, 850mm and 900mm, etc., and the beneficial effects can refer to the effects brought about by the setting distance of the first limit blocks 13; the distance between each two adjacent functional pipelines in the second pipeline group 22 is between 6mm and 30mm, for example, it can be 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm and 30mm, etc., and the beneficial effects can refer to the effects brought about by the distance between adjacent functional pipelines in the first pipeline group 12.

[0069] The above-mentioned functional pipelines are not concentrated in the first battery outer side beam 11 or the second battery outer side beam 21 to alleviate the problem of too dense wiring of the functional pipelines entering and exiting, affecting the equipment layout of the front or rear section of the chassis, and causing wear and heat effects between the functional pipelines. Moreover, the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the functional pipelines in the first cavity of the first battery outer side beam 11 is between 0.85 times and 1.15 times the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the functional pipelines in the second cavity of the second battery outer side beam 21. For example, it can be 0.85 times, 0.9 times, 0.95 times, 1 times, 1.05 times, 1.1 times and 1.15 times, etc., so that the cross-sectional areas of the functional pipelines running through the first cavity and the second cavity tend to be balanced, thereby improving the efficiency of space utilization, improving the efficiency of space utilization, and alleviating the problem that the functional pipelines in one cavity are too densely arranged, resulting in the functional pipelines entering and exiting the cavity being too dense, affecting the equipment layout of the front or rear section of the chassis, and causing wear and heat impact between the functional pipelines, as well as the functional pipelines in the other cavity being too sparse, resulting in the space therein not being fully utilized.
