[0091] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0092] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0093] In modern electric vehicle technology, methods for replenishing vehicle energy include fast charging and battery swapping. Fast charging refers to the method of charging the electric vehicle battery in a relatively short time using a high-power charging station. Battery swapping replenishes energy by replacing the vehicle battery, rather than charging the battery.

[0094] In related technologies, fast-charging vehicles use rectangular battery packs within a battery compartment designed into the vehicle chassis or body structure. Brackets and fixtures are used to secure the battery pack within the compartment, ensuring it does not move while the vehicle is in motion.

[0095] Battery units are typically designed in a rectangular shape to facilitate installation within a battery compartment in a vehicle's chassis or body structure. However, this shape may not always perfectly match the available space in the vehicle, resulting in inefficient space utilization.

[0096] A battery unit consists of a battery case and a distribution box. The distribution box is located inside the battery case to protect it from external environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and physical damage. However, this design can consume valuable space within the battery unit. The space required for the distribution box and associated electrical components can limit the arrangement and number of battery cells, reducing overall energy density and space utilization.

[0097] In summary, existing battery devices have the problem of insufficient space utilization.

[0098] In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a battery device and vehicle, comprising a housing, battery cells, and a power distribution module. The housing has a clearance portion for clearing the vehicle's beams; the housing has a first accommodating cavity located on at least one side of the clearance portion; a plurality of battery cells are located in the first accommodating cavity; the power distribution module is electrically connected to the battery cells; and the power distribution module is disposed on top of the battery cells along the height of the battery device.

[0099] By designing an avoidance portion in the box, the battery device can adapt to the structure of the vehicle chassis. The design of the avoidance portion allows the battery device to fully utilize the space under the vehicle chassis without affecting the vehicle beam structure. At the same time, the distribution module is located on the top of the battery cell, which avoids the need to reserve additional space in the battery device to accommodate the distribution module, thereby making the design of the battery device more compact, effectively utilizing the limited space inside the battery device, and improving the space utilization rate of the battery device.

[0100] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0101] First, refer to Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, comprising:

[0102] Car beam 300;

[0103] The battery device 10 is connected to the vehicle beam 300 ; the avoidance portion 101 of the battery device 10 is used to avoid the vehicle beam 300 .

[0104] Illustratively, the beam 300 is the primary load-bearing structure of the vehicle, responsible for supporting the weight of the vehicle, including the vehicle body, passengers, and cargo. The beam 300 provides the necessary rigidity and strength to ensure that the vehicle maintains structural integrity under various driving conditions.

[0105] The function of the battery device 10 is to store electrical energy for use by the vehicle's electric motor and other electrical systems to enable the vehicle to accelerate, decelerate, and maintain speed.

[0106] By connecting the battery device 10 to the vehicle beam 300, the available space under the vehicle chassis can be maximized. This design avoids space waste and allows the vehicle to accommodate more battery cells within a limited space.

[0107] The design of the avoidance portion 101 allows the battery device 10 to fully utilize the space under the vehicle chassis without affecting the structure of the vehicle beam 300.

[0108] As a feasible implementation, the vehicle beam 300 includes a cross beam 340 extending in the vehicle width direction.

[0109] The crossbeam 340 includes a first crossbeam 350 and a second crossbeam 360. The first crossbeam 350 and the second crossbeam 360 are spaced apart along the length direction of the vehicle. The box 100 of the battery device 10 is connected to the first crossbeam 350 and the second crossbeam 360. Figure 1 The direction indicated by X. The width direction of the vehicle refers to Figure 1 The direction shown in Y.

[0110] For example, the battery assembly 10 is designed to be located between the first cross member 350 and the second cross member 360. This layout utilizes the space between the cross members 340, enabling the battery assembly 10 to be compactly integrated into the vehicle chassis. By placing the battery assembly 10 between the cross members 340, designers can maximize the available space under the chassis, improving the battery's energy density and the vehicle's range.

[0111] As a feasible implementation, the vehicle beam 300 includes a longitudinal beam 310 extending along the length direction of the vehicle; at least a portion of the longitudinal beam 310 is located in the avoidance portion 101 .

[0112] Illustratively, the longitudinal beam 310 is located in the escape groove of the escape portion 101 of the battery device 10. The escape groove is used to accommodate the longitudinal beam 310, allowing the battery device 10 to be seamlessly integrated with the vehicle chassis. This ensures that the battery device 10 is tightly integrated with the vehicle chassis without affecting the structural function of the longitudinal beam 310.

[0113] As a feasible embodiment, the vehicle beam 300 also includes at least two mounting beams 330, which are respectively located on both sides of the first cross beam 350 and the second cross beam 360 along the vehicle width direction and are respectively connected to the first cross beam 350 and the second cross beam 360, and the box body 100 is connected to the mounting beams 330.

[0114] For example, at least two mounting beams 330 are respectively located on both sides of the first cross beam 350 and the second cross beam 360 . This arrangement may be to provide better support and stability so that the box 100 can be firmly connected to the vehicle structure.

[0115] As a feasible implementation, there are multiple battery devices 10 , and the multiple battery devices 10 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the vehicle.

[0116] For example, by arranging multiple battery units 10 in sequence along the length of the vehicle, the available space under the chassis can be maximized. This layout allows for a more compact battery system, improving the vehicle's energy density. The sequential arrangement of multiple battery units 10 can significantly increase the total battery capacity, thereby extending the vehicle's range.

[0117] Since the function of the battery device 10 is to store electrical energy for use by the motor and other electrical systems of the vehicle, the battery device 10 will be described in detail below.

[0118] Secondly, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery device 10 for a vehicle, the battery device 10 comprising:

[0119] The box body 100 has an avoidance portion 101, which is used to avoid the vehicle beam 300; the box body 100 has a first accommodating cavity, which is located on at least one side of the avoidance portion 101;

[0120] Battery cells 210, multiple battery cells 210 are located in the first accommodation cavity;

[0121] The power distribution module 220 is electrically connected to the battery cell 210 . The power distribution module 220 is disposed on top of the battery cell 210 along the height direction of the battery device 10 .

[0122] For example, the battery cell 210 is the core component of the battery device 10, responsible for storing and providing electrical energy. The avoidance portion 101 is designed to avoid structures such as the beam 300 in the vehicle chassis. The beam 300 is a critical load-bearing and structural component of the vehicle chassis, and the battery device 10 must be installed without affecting the function of the beam 300.

[0123] By designing an avoidance portion 101 in the box body 100, the battery device 10 can adapt to the structure of the vehicle chassis. The design of the avoidance portion 101 allows the battery device 10 to fully utilize the space under the chassis without affecting the structure of the vehicle beam 300, thereby improving space utilization.

[0124] By placing the power distribution module 220 on the top of the battery cell 210, Figure 1 As shown, the power distribution module 220 is disposed on the side of the battery cell 210 that is close to the vehicle beam 300, i.e., on top of the battery cell 210. This effectively utilizes the space near the vehicle beam 300 and avoids the need to reserve additional space in the battery device 10 to accommodate the power distribution module 220. This makes the design of the battery device 10 more compact, effectively utilizes the limited space within the battery device 10, and improves the space utilization of the battery device 10. At the same time, it avoids the need to reserve excessive redundant space for electrical connections in the battery device 10. This design enables the battery device 10 to accommodate more battery cells 210 within a limited volume, thereby improving the battery's energy density.

[0125] As a feasible implementation, the box body 100 includes a cover body 103 and a tray 102 that are connected to each other.

[0126] The cover 103 is formed with an escape portion 101 .

[0127] Illustratively, the tray 102 is the bottom structure of the battery device 10, used to support and secure the battery cells 210. The tray 102 has strength and rigidity to withstand the weight of the battery cells 210 and the vibration and impact generated during vehicle travel. The cover 103 is the top structure of the battery device 10, used to cover and protect the battery cells 210. The cover 103 has sealing properties to prevent water, dust, and other external contaminants from entering the interior of the battery device 10. The tray 102 and the cover 103 are connected to each other to form a complete box 100 structure. The tray 102 and the cover 103 can be connected by bolts, snaps, or welding.

[0128] The combination of the tray 102 and the cover 103 provides a closed structure, which enhances the overall strength and rigidity of the battery device 10. This design can effectively resist external shocks and vibrations and protect the internal battery cells 210.

[0129] The cover 103 is used to form the avoidance portion 101 .

[0130] As a feasible implementation, the tray 102 is used to be connected to the vehicle beam 300 , and the cover 103 is located between the tray 102 and the vehicle beam 300 .

[0131] For example, the tray 102 is directly connected to the vehicle beam 300, providing a stable mounting base for the battery assembly 10. This ensures the battery assembly 10 remains stable during vehicle operation, reducing displacement or damage caused by vibration or impact. A cover 103 is located between the tray 102 and the vehicle beam 300 and provides additional protection for the battery cells 210.

[0132] As a feasible implementation, the cover body 103 forms a first accommodating cavity.

[0133] Illustratively, the first accommodating cavity formed by the cover 103 is used to provide physical protection for the battery cell 210 , and is used to protect the internal battery cell 210 and the power distribution module 220 from the influence of the external environment, such as dust, moisture and physical impact.

[0134] As a feasible implementation, the box body 100 is further formed with a second accommodating cavity; along the height direction of the battery device 10, the first accommodating cavity and the second accommodating cavity are arranged in sequence, and the first accommodating cavity is located on the top of the second accommodating cavity.

[0135] In some embodiments, the tray 102 is formed with a second accommodating cavity, and the cavity opening of the second accommodating cavity faces the cover 103 .

[0136] As a feasible implementation, a plurality of battery cells 210 form a first battery cell module 211 , and the number of the first battery cell modules 211 is plural.

[0137] There are multiple first accommodating cavities, each accommodating at least one first battery cell module 211 .

[0138] For example, the design of the first accommodating cavity accommodating at least the first battery cell module 211 can increase the battery capacity of the battery device 10 and improve the reliability and performance of the battery device 10 .

[0139] For example, multiple first accommodating cavities are used to accommodate first battery cell modules 211. The design of each first accommodating cavity ensures the stability and safety of the first battery cell module 211, preventing movement or damage during use. Each first battery cell module 211 corresponds to a first accommodating cavity, ensuring that each first battery cell module 211 has a dedicated space for fixation and protection.

[0140] As a feasible implementation, the battery device 10 further includes a second battery cell module 212 ; the second battery cell module 212 is located in the second accommodation cavity.

[0141] For example, referring to Figure 1In the direction indicated by Z, the first and second battery modules 211, 212 are stacked. This stacking of the first and second battery modules 211, 212 fully utilizes vertical space, allowing the battery device 10 to accommodate more first and second battery modules 211, 212 without increasing horizontal footprint, thereby improving overall energy density. By distributing the first and second battery modules 211, 212 in different cavities, heat management can be more effectively achieved.

[0142] Illustratively, the design of the second accommodating cavity enables the tray 102 to accommodate more second battery cell modules 212 , thereby improving the volume energy density of the battery device 10 and fully utilizing the space between the tray 102 and the cover 103 .

[0143] For example, the first cell module 211 includes a plurality of cells 210, and the plurality of cells 210 are arranged along Figure 1 The cells 210 are arranged in sequence in the direction indicated by Y, and adjacent cells 210 are electrically connected via connecting sheets.

[0144] The second battery cell module 212 includes a plurality of battery cell units. Figure 1 The cells are arranged in sequence in the direction shown by Y, and adjacent battery cells are electrically connected via connecting sheets.

[0145] As a feasible implementation, the plurality of first accommodating cavities are connected through the second accommodating cavity.

[0146] For example, by interconnecting the first accommodating cavities through the second accommodating cavity, electrical connections can be established between the first cell module 211 and the second cell module 212. This integrated design simplifies the wiring and connections of the battery device 10, improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the battery device 10. The interconnected accommodating cavity design allows for efficient utilization of the space between the tray 102 and the cover 103, allowing for the accommodation of more first cell modules 211 and second cell modules 212 without increasing the overall volume of the battery device 10.

[0147] For example, multiple first accommodating cavities are interconnected through the second accommodating cavity, thereby achieving electrical connection between the first cell module 211 and the second cell module 212. This design reduces the need for external wiring, reduces installation complexity and potential failure points, and improves the reliability of the battery device 10.

[0148] The interconnected accommodating cavity design allows the space between the tray 102 and the cover 103 to be utilized. This layout allows more first cell modules 211 and second cell modules 212 to be accommodated without increasing the overall volume of the battery device 10, thereby improving energy density.

[0149] As a feasible implementation, the battery device 10 further includes a supporting member 104 . The supporting member 104 is disposed between the first battery cell module 211 and the second battery cell module 212 . The supporting member 104 is connected to at least one side wall of the box body 100 .

[0150] Illustratively, the support member 104 provides additional physical support between the first battery cell module 211 and the second battery cell module 212. This support helps maintain the stability of the first battery cell module 211 and the second battery cell module 212, preventing displacement or damage under vibration or impact conditions. The support member 104 can act as a buffer layer to absorb and disperse vibrations and impacts caused by vehicle driving or external impacts. This buffering effect helps protect the first battery cell module 211 and the second battery cell module 212 and extend their service life. The support member 104 helps to evenly distribute the mechanical load within the battery device 10 and prevent local stress concentration. This load distribution reduces material fatigue and potential structural failures.

[0151] In addition, the supporting member 104 is connected to at least one side wall of the box body 100, which improves the connection stability between the box body 100 and the supporting member 104 and improves the structure of the battery device 10.

[0152] For example, the supporting member 104 may be a supporting plate.

[0153] As a feasible implementation manner, the avoidance portion 101 is a avoidance groove; along the second direction, the avoidance groove passes through the cover body 103.

[0154] The second direction intersects the height direction of the battery device 10. Figure 1 The direction indicated by X.

[0155] For example, the avoidance groove is a groove structure in the battery device 10, with its groove opening facing the vehicle beam 300, so that the battery device 10 can avoid the vehicle beam 300 and other chassis structures during installation. The design of the avoidance groove opening facing the vehicle beam 300 ensures that the battery device 10 can fit tightly against the vehicle chassis while avoiding physical interference with the vehicle beam 300.

[0156] By designing the avoidance groove, the battery device 10 can adapt to the complex shape of the vehicle chassis. At the same time, the avoidance groove not only avoids direct contact with the vehicle beam 300, but also protects the battery device 10 from vibration and impact from the vehicle beam 300 to a certain extent.

[0157] At the same time, the presence of the avoidance groove makes the installation process of the battery device 10 easier. The installer can more easily place the battery device 10 under the vehicle chassis without having to modify or make additional adjustments to the vehicle beam 300.

[0158] As a feasible implementation, the number of avoidance parts 101 is multiple, and the multiple avoidance parts 101 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The multiple avoidance parts 101 are respectively used to avoid multiple beams 300 of the vehicle, and the first direction intersects with the second direction. Figure 1 The direction indicated by Y in the middle, the second direction refers to Figure 1 The direction indicated by X.

[0159] For example, by designing multiple relief portions 101, the battery device 10 can better adapt to the complex structure of the vehicle chassis. This design allows the battery device 10 to be installed without interfering with fixed structures such as the vehicle beam 300. The presence of the relief portions 101 allows the battery device 10 to fit more closely to the vehicle chassis, maximizing the use of available space. This helps to increase the volumetric energy density of the battery device 10.

[0160] As a feasible implementation, the power distribution module 220 is located on top of the battery cell 210 .

[0161] For example, by placing the power distribution module 220 on top of the battery cell 210, that is, the power distribution module is arranged on the side of the battery cell 210 close to the cover 103, the space between the cover 103 and the battery cell 210 can be fully utilized. This layout can reduce the gap inside the battery device 10 and improve the space utilization inside the battery device 10.

[0162] The power distribution module 220 is disposed close to the cover 103 , that is, the power distribution module 220 is disposed close to the vehicle, so that the power of the battery device 10 can be conveniently led out to the electrical components of the vehicle, reducing power transmission losses.

[0163] At the same time, the power distribution module 220 is placed close to the cover 103 to facilitate maintenance and repair when needed. The cover 103 is usually the most easily removable part of the battery device 10, which makes access to the power distribution module 220 more convenient and reduces maintenance costs and time.

[0164] As a feasible implementation method, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the power distribution module 220 includes a power distribution component 221 , which is located in the first accommodation cavity and is electrically connected to the battery cell 210 .

[0165] For example, the power distribution component 221 is placed within the first housing cavity, tightly integrated with the battery cell 210, effectively utilizing the internal space. This compact design reduces the gaps between components, making the battery device 10 more efficient and compact. The power distribution component 221 is directly electrically connected to the battery cell 210, shortening the current transmission path and reducing power transmission losses. This direct connection improves power transmission efficiency and enhances the overall performance of the battery device 10.

[0166] Exemplarily, the power distribution component 221 includes a power distribution box.

[0167] Exemplarily, the power distribution component 221 is responsible for managing and distributing the electrical energy in the battery cell 210. The functions of the power distribution component 221 include power distribution, current management, voltage regulation, and safety protection. Among them, power distribution refers to the distribution of the electrical energy in the battery device 10 to different systems and components, such as electric motors, on-board electronic equipment, charging systems, etc. Current management refers to the power distribution component 221 monitoring and controlling the flow of current to ensure that the current operates within a safe range to prevent overcurrent or short circuit.

Safety protection refers to the power distribution component 221 integrating various protection mechanisms, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, short circuit protection, and overtemperature protection, to ensure the safety of the battery device 10 and connected devices.

[0168] As a feasible implementation method, refer to Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the power distribution module 220 further includes an adapter 222 , which is disposed on the top of the battery cell 210 ; the battery cell 210 is electrically connected to the power distribution component 221 via the adapter 222 .

[0169] For example, the adapter 222 is disposed on top of the battery cell 210, that is, the adapter 222 is disposed on the side of the cover 103 close to the beam 300, which can effectively utilize the space near the beam 300. This layout can reduce the internal space occupied by the battery device 10, making the overall design more compact.

[0170] The provision of adapter 222 further simplifies the electrical connection between battery cell 210 and power distribution unit 221. This design not only reduces cable length and power transmission losses, but also simplifies the complexity of the electrical connection, improving the reliability of battery device 10. Furthermore, the proximity of adapter 222 to cover 103 facilitates maintenance and inspection. Cover 103 is typically the most easily removable part of battery device 10, making access to adapter 222 more convenient and reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0171] When assembling the power distribution module 220 , the adapter 222 and the fixing bracket 230 are installed first, and then the power distribution component 221 is assembled, which is convenient for subsequent independent maintenance of the power distribution component 221 .

[0172] As a feasible implementation, the power distribution module 220 includes a connector 229 , which is electrically connected to the power distribution component 221 ; the connector 229 is disposed on the top of the battery cell 210 .

[0173] For example, the location of connector 229 near beam 300 is typically closer to the vehicle's main power distribution system. This layout shortens the path for power to be transmitted from battery unit 10 to the rest of the vehicle, reducing cable length and power loss, thereby improving transmission efficiency. Because connector 229 is located near beam 300, wiring can be more direct and concise. This simplified wiring not only reduces installation complexity but also reduces potential points of failure, thereby improving the reliability of battery unit 10. Furthermore, shorter cable lengths mean lower resistance, thereby reducing power loss during transmission. This helps improve the overall efficiency and performance of battery unit 10.

[0174] Illustratively, connector 229 includes a positive power connector and a negative power connector. The positive power connector is responsible for transmitting the positive portion of the current from battery device 10 to a load such as a motor or other electrical device. Connector 229 is used to draw current from distribution unit 221.

[0175] The material of the positive power connector includes copper or silver-plated copper to ensure low resistance and high efficiency.

[0176] The negative power connector connects to the negative terminal of the power supply. It transmits the negative portion of the current, completing the circuit and allowing current to circulate between the power supply and the load. The negative power connector is made of copper or silver-plated copper to ensure low resistance and high efficiency.

This layout reduces the internal space occupied by the battery device 10, making the overall design more compact.

[0180] Adapter panel 223 serves as a mounting platform, providing a stable foundation for mounting and securing connectors 229 and other electrical components. This stability ensures reliable electrical connections, preventing loosening or disconnection due to vibration or impact. Placing connectors 229 on adapter panel 223 makes electrical connections more streamlined and organized. This design simplifies cable routing, reduces installation complexity, and reduces potential points of failure.

This insulation protection is crucial to ensuring the safety of the battery device 10. By providing the insulating bracket 224 between the adapter panel 223 and the first cell module 211, arcing and leakage can be effectively prevented, thereby helping to protect the integrity and reliability of the battery system.

[0185] In addition, the insulating bracket 224 not only provides electrical insulation, but also serves as a physical support to help stabilize the position of the adapter panel 223 and the first battery module 211. This support helps prevent the components from shifting under vibration or shock conditions.

[0186] For example, the insulating bracket 224 may be a plastic bracket, wherein the plastic bracket has a certain elasticity based on its insulation function to absorb and disperse vibration and impact caused by vehicle driving or external impact.

[0188] Illustratively, the first insulating bracket 224a is disposed on a side of the adapter panel 223 near the first cell module 211, providing primary electrical insulation. This layer of insulation prevents any electrical contact between the adapter panel 223 and the first cell module 211, ensuring the safety of the battery device 10.

[0189] The second insulating support 224b is disposed on a side of the first insulating support 224a close to the first battery module 211, providing an additional insulation layer. This multi-layer insulation design further reduces the risk of electrical failure and enhances the electrical safety of the battery device 10.

[0190] The stability of the entire adapter 222 is enhanced by using two layers of insulating brackets 224. Each bracket not only provides electrical insulation, but also acts as a physical support to help stabilize the position of the adapter panel 223 and related components.

[0243] The second connection portion 242 includes a cross-layer transfer bar and a power connection bar connected to each other, the cross-layer transfer bar is connected to the second battery module 212, and the power connection bar is connected to the voltage divider relay 243. The cross-layer transfer bar is welded to the second battery module 212.

[0244] In the battery device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, by providing the connection structure 240 , the voltage difference between the connection area between the first battery cell module 211 and the second battery cell module 212 is small, and the risk of high-voltage arcing is low.

[0245] As a feasible implementation, the battery device 10 further includes a cold plate 250 , which is disposed between the power distribution component 221 and the first battery cell module 211 .

[0246] Exemplarily, the supporting member 104 is embedded in the side beam of the pallet 102 , and the cold plate 250 is fixed to the side of the expansion beam of the supporting member 104 by rivets.

[0247] The distribution component 221 is provided with a fixing groove, and the distribution component 221 is fixed to the mounting column of the cold plate 250 by bolts. In the installed state, there is an assembly gap between the lower surface of the distribution component 221 and the upper surface of the square flow channel of the cold plate 250, and a thermal insulation medium such as thermal insulation cotton can be added therein to prevent condensation water from being generated between the distribution component 221 and the cold plate 250; a thermally conductive medium such as a thermally conductive gel pad, or other heat dissipation device can also be added to the assembly gap to achieve cooling of the distribution component 221.

[0248] As a feasible implementation manner, along the first direction, a first boss is provided at the first end of the adapter panel 223 , and the first end of the adapter panel 223 is connected to the cold plate 250 via the first boss.

[0249] A second boss is provided at the second end of the adapter panel 223 , and the second end of the adapter panel 223 is connected to the fixing bracket 230 via the second boss.

[0250] The first direction intersects with the height direction of the battery device 10 .

[0251] The first direction refers to Figure 1 The direction shown in Y.

[0252] Illustratively, a first boss is provided at the first end of the adapter panel 223, and the first boss at the first end of the adapter panel 223 is fixed to the mounting column of the cold plate 250 by bolts; the second boss at the second end of the adapter panel 223 is connected to the fixing bracket 230 by bolts, and the fixing bracket 230 is fixedly connected to the tray 102 by bolts, thereby realizing fixed installation of the adapter 222 and the battery device 10.

[0253] The use of bosses can increase the contact area at the connection, thereby dispersing stress and improving the strength of the mechanical connection. This helps prevent structural damage due to stress concentration during use. By using the first boss and the second boss at both ends, the displacement and vibration of the adapter panel 223 in the vertical direction can be effectively controlled. This stable connection method helps maintain the overall stability of the battery device 10. In addition, the boss can serve as a positioning element to ensure that the adapter panel 223 is in the correct position during installation. This helps to improve the assembly accuracy of the entire battery device 10 and reduce potential problems caused by installation errors.

[0254] As a feasible implementation method, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the battery device 10 further includes an electrical connector 260 , and the first battery cell modules 211 located in two adjacent first accommodation cavities are connected via the electrical connector 260 .

[0255] Illustratively, the electrical connector 260 is a component used to achieve electrical connection between the first battery modules 211. It can be a wire or busbar, ensuring efficient current transmission between the first battery modules 211. Each first accommodating cavity houses a first battery module 211, and the electrical connector 260 is used to connect the first battery modules 211 in adjacent first accommodating cavities to form a complete battery system.

[0256] The electrical connectors 260 ensure efficient current transmission between the first battery modules 211, reducing resistance losses and improving the overall efficiency of the battery device 10. By using the electrical connectors 260, the battery device 10 can adopt a modular design. This design allows each first battery module 211 to be independently installed and replaced, simplifying production and maintenance.

[0257] In some embodiments, the electrical connector 260 is a high-voltage power busbar. The high-voltage power busbar is made of copper or aluminum and has good electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. It also has low electrical resistance and can efficiently transmit high currents.

[0258] As a feasible implementation, the electrical connector 260 has an electrical connection bending portion 261 .

[0259] Along the first direction, the middle portion of the electrical connector 260 is bent relative to the two ends of the electrical connector 260 in a direction away from the avoiding portion 101 to form an electrical connection bending portion 261 .

[0260] Along the height direction of the battery device 10 , the electrical connection bending portion 261 and the avoiding portion 101 are correspondingly arranged and have matching shapes.

[0261] The first direction intersects with the height direction of the battery device 10 .

[0262] For example, the structural design of the electrical connection bend 261 allows the electrical connector 260 to provide additional space or flexibility without increasing the overall height. The avoidance portion is used to provide space for the electrical connection bend 261 so that it can be arranged without interference.

[0263] As a feasible embodiment, the electrical connector 260 includes at least two conductive base parts 262, one end of at least two conductive base parts 262 is connected to the electrical connection bending part 261, and the other end of the conductive base part 262 is respectively connected to the adjacent first battery module 211.

[0264] Exemplarily, one conductive base portion 262 is responsible for electrically connecting to a battery cell in an adjacent first battery cell module 211, and another conductive base portion 262 is responsible for electrically connecting to a battery cell in an adjacent first battery cell module 211. The electrical connection bending portion 261 is used to connect these two conductive base portions 262 to achieve electrical connection between adjacent first battery cell modules 211.

[0265] By directly connecting adjacent first cell modules 211, this design enables efficient current transmission, reduces resistance losses, and improves overall system efficiency. This design supports a modular battery system layout, making the production, maintenance, and replacement of the battery device 10 more convenient. Each first cell module 211 can be installed and replaced independently, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0266] As a feasible implementation, the conductive base portion 262 includes a conductive plate 263 , the conductive plate 263 is provided with a recessed portion 264 , and the pole of the end cell 213 located at the end of the first cell module 211 is welded to the recessed portion 264 .

[0267] Illustratively, the conductive plate 263 is a component of the conductive base 262. The recess 264 is a specific area on the conductive plate 263 for accommodating the terminal of the first battery cell module 211. The presence of the recess 264 ensures that the terminal can be firmly embedded in the conductive plate 263, providing a stable electrical connection.

[0268] Since the pole needs to be welded to the conductive plate 263, the recess 264 is provided. This not only controls the material thickness in the weld area, avoiding excessively thick welds, but also helps reduce thermal damage and material deformation that may occur during welding. Furthermore, the recess 264 concentrates heat, raising the temperature in the weld area and improving weld fusion. This helps form a stronger weld joint, reduces welding defects, and provides a more stable connection between the pole and the conductive plate 263, reducing the risk of loosening due to vibration or impact.

[0269] As a feasible implementation, the electrical connection bending portion 261 includes a first section 261 a , a second section 261 b and a third section 261 c that are sequentially connected.

[0270] The first segment 261 a and the third segment 261 c both extend along the height direction of the battery device 10 , and the second segment 261 b extends along the first direction. The first segment 261 a and the third segment 261 c are connected to the conductive base portion 262 .

[0271] Exemplarily, the first segment 261 a and the third segment 261 c extend along the height direction of the battery device 10 and are responsible for connecting with the conductive base portion 262 to ensure effective transmission of current between the first battery cell modules 211 .

[0272] By designing the electrical connection bend portion 261 to extend in different directions, the electrical connection bend portion 261 adapts to the avoidance structure, reducing the risk of physical interference and ensuring the integrity and functionality of the battery device 10.

[0273] In addition, by designing the electrical connection bend portion 261 into multiple sections, the mechanical stability is improved and the risk of connection loosening or breaking due to vibration or mechanical stress is reduced.

[0274] As a feasible implementation, the outer periphery of the electrical connection bend portion 261 is wrapped with an insulating layer.

[0275] For example, the insulating layer effectively prevents accidental contact between the conductive connection and other metal parts or electrical components, reducing the risk of short circuits and electric shock. The insulating layer provides additional protection from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and chemicals, thereby improving the long-term reliability of the electrical connector 260.

[0276] In some embodiments, the conductive connection portion is immersed in liquid epoxy resin, and the epoxy resin forms an insulating layer after curing.

[0277] In some other embodiments, the outer periphery of the conductive connection portion is wrapped with mica and polyimide, and the mica and polyimide form an insulating layer.

[0278] As a feasible implementation, the electrical connector 260 is a stamped part or a welded part.

[0279] In some embodiments, the electrical connector 260 is a stamped part. Stamped parts are cut and formed from sheet metal using a stamping process. The stamping process is typically performed using a stamping machine and a die. The stamping process allows for rapid production of large quantities of the electrical connector 260, reducing unit production costs. Stamped parts produced using this process exhibit high consistency and dimensional accuracy.

[0280] In other embodiments, the electrical connector 260 is a welded part. A welded part is formed by welding multiple metal parts together. Common welding methods include laser welding, spot welding, and arc welding. Welded parts produced by welding processes have high strength.

[0281] Illustratively, the electrical connector 260 may be a stamped aluminum part.
