Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of battery technology, and more specifically, to a battery device and an electrical device. Background Art
[0002] Energy conservation and emission reduction are key to the sustainable development of the automotive industry. Electric vehicles, due to their energy-saving and environmentally friendly advantages, have become an important component of the sustainable development of the automotive industry. For electric vehicles, battery technology is a key factor in their development.
[0003] Battery devices are widely used in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, power tools, drones, energy storage devices, and other fields. During their use, the space utilization of battery devices is a critical issue. Therefore, improving the space utilization of battery devices is a pressing technical challenge in battery technology. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a battery device and an electrical device, which can improve the space utilization of the battery device.
[0005] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery device, comprising a box body, a battery management system and a battery cell; the box body has an electrical compartment and a battery compartment arranged along a first direction, the box body includes a first wall, a second wall and a third wall, along the second direction, the second wall and the third wall are arranged opposite to the first wall, the electrical compartment is formed between the first wall and the second wall, the battery compartment is formed between the first wall and the third wall, the second wall is closer to the first wall than the third wall, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; the battery management system is accommodated in the electrical compartment; the battery cell is accommodated in the battery compartment and is electrically connected to the battery management system; wherein the battery management system includes a box body and electrical components, the box body has a accommodating space and an opening that are interconnected, the second wall covers the opening, the electrical components are accommodated in the accommodating space and are connected to the second wall.
[0006] In the above technical solution, by arranging the second wall closer to the first wall than the third wall, the size of the electrical compartment along the second direction is smaller than the size of the battery compartment along the second direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment. By arranging the electrical components to be connected to the second wall and accommodated within the storage space of the box body, the box body can have a smaller size along the second direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the battery management system along the second direction. This allows for a smaller distance between the second wall and the first wall, further reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment and improving the space utilization of the battery device.
[0007] In some embodiments, the third wall has a first surface facing away from the first wall, and along the second direction, the minimum distance between the second wall and the first surface is 50mm-100mm. Along the second direction, the minimum distance between the second wall and the first surface is greater than or equal to 50mm, which can enable the side of the second wall facing away from the electrical compartment to have a larger redundant space, which is beneficial to the arrangement of other components and reduces the difficulty of setting up other components; the minimum distance between the second wall and the first surface is less than or equal to 100mm, which can enable the electrical compartment to have a larger space, which is beneficial to the arrangement of components such as the battery management system and reduces the difficulty of setting up the battery management system; therefore, the minimum distance between the second wall and the first surface is 50mm-100mm, which can reduce the difficulty of setting up components on both sides of the second wall and improve the space utilization of the battery device.
[0008] In some embodiments, the battery management system includes a connection terminal and a conductive harness; the connection terminal is electrically connected to the electrical component; the conductive harness is connected to the connection terminal, and the conductive harness is at least partially embedded in the wall of the box. By embedding at least part of the conductive harness in the wall of the box, the box and the conductive harness share a portion of the height space, which helps reduce the size of the box along the second direction, thereby allowing a smaller distance between the second wall and the first wall, which helps reduce the space occupied by the electrical compartment and improve the space utilization of the battery device.
[0009] In some embodiments, the electrical component includes a relay electrically connected to the connection terminal. At least one of the relay's dimensions along the first direction and along the third direction is greater than the relay's dimension along the second direction. The first, second, and third directions are perpendicular to each other. This reduces the relay's dimension along the second direction, minimizing the relay's impact on the enclosure's dimension along the second direction. This further reduces the enclosure's dimension along the second direction, further reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment, and improving the battery device's space utilization.
[0010] In some embodiments, the first wall is provided with an access opening that communicates with the electrical compartment. The housing also includes an access cover that covers the access opening and is removably connected to the first wall. By connecting the housing and electrical components to the second wall, the battery management system in the second wall can be directly accessed through the access opening in the first wall, simplifying maintenance of the battery management system. The removable connection of the access cover to the first wall allows for easy access to components within the electrical compartment by simply removing the access cover, thus simplifying maintenance.
[0011] In some embodiments, the housing includes a frame, and the first, second, and third walls are all connected to the frame. The first wall includes a first portion and a second portion, an electrical compartment is formed between the first portion and the second wall, a battery compartment is formed between the second portion and the third wall, and an access port is provided in the first portion. The first portion is detachably connected to the frame. By detachably connecting the first portion to the frame, components within the electrical compartment can be replaced by removing the first portion, thereby reducing maintenance difficulty.
[0012] In some embodiments, the housing includes a frame, and the first, second, and third walls are all connected to the frame; the first wall includes a first portion and a second portion, the electrical compartment is formed between the first portion and the second wall, the battery compartment is formed between the second portion and the third wall, and the inspection port is provided in the first portion; the second portion is detachably connected to the frame. By detachably connecting the second portion to the frame, the battery compartment can be inspected and maintained by removing the second portion, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintaining the battery compartment.
[0013] In some embodiments, the housing further includes a bottom guard plate connected to the first wall and located on a side of the first wall facing away from the second wall. The bottom guard plate's projection along the second direction covers at least a portion of the electrical compartment. This bottom guard plate enhances the strength of the first wall, reduces the risk of damage to the electrical compartment caused by damage to the first wall, and improves the reliability of the battery assembly.
[0014] In some embodiments, the projection of the bottom guard plate along the second direction completely covers the electrical compartment, thereby further reducing the risk of components in the electrical compartment being damaged by external forces and improving the reliability of the battery device.
[0015] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electrical device, comprising a battery device as provided in any embodiment of the first aspect.
[0016] In some embodiments, the electrical device further includes a power distribution module, which is disposed on a surface of the second wall facing away from the first wall along a second direction, and is electrically connected to the battery device. By disposing the power distribution module on a surface of the second wall facing away from the first wall along a second direction, on the one hand, the space utilization rate of the battery device can be improved, space waste of the battery device can be reduced, and the layout structure of the electrical device can be optimized. On the other hand, the close distance between the power distribution module and the battery device can shorten the path of the wiring harness connecting the power distribution module and the battery device, reducing energy consumption and reducing electromagnetic interference caused by the power distribution module on other components of the electrical device.
[0017] In some embodiments, the third wall has a first surface facing away from the first wall, and the power distribution module does not protrude from the first surface along the direction from the first wall to the second wall. This reduces the risk of interference between the power distribution module and other components of the electrical device, thereby improving the structural stability of the power distribution module.

[0069] A battery system may include a battery compartment for holding battery cells and an electrical compartment for housing a battery management system. In a battery system, the height of the battery compartment is limited by the height occupied by the battery cells, while the height of the electrical compartment is limited by the height occupied by the battery management system. However, the height of the battery management system can lead to wasted space in the electrical compartment, affecting the space utilization of the battery system.
[0070] In view of this, in order to improve the space utilization of the battery device, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery device, including a box body, a battery management system and a battery cell.

Along the second direction, the second wall and the third wall are arranged opposite to the first wall. The electrical compartment is formed between the first wall and the second wall, and the battery compartment is formed between the first wall and the third wall. The second wall is closer to the first wall than the third wall, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0071] In such a battery device, by setting the second wall closer to the first wall than the third wall, the size of the electrical compartment along the second direction is smaller than the size of the battery compartment along the second direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment. By setting the electrical components to be connected to the second wall and accommodated in the accommodating space of the box body, the box body can have a smaller size along the second direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the battery management system along the second direction, and allowing a smaller distance to be set between the second wall and the first wall, further reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment and improving the space utilization rate of the battery device. In addition, along the second direction, the area of the second wall that is closer to the first wall than the third wall on the side facing away from the electrical compartment can form a redundant space, and other components can be installed in the redundant space to further reduce the space waste of the battery device and improve the space utilization rate of the battery device.

[0081] The battery management system 2 can be connected to the first wall 11 or the second wall 12. The battery cells 3 can be connected to the first wall 11 or the third wall 13. For example, the battery management system 2 is connected to the second wall 12, and the first wall 11 supports the battery cells 3.
[0082] The second wall 12 and the third wall 13 are located on the same side of the first wall 11 along the second direction Z. The electrical compartment 1a is formed between the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 so that the first wall 11 and the second wall 12 are disposed opposite each other along the second direction Z. The battery compartment 1b is formed between the first wall 11 and the third wall 13 so that the first wall 11 and the third wall 13 are disposed opposite each other along the second direction Z. It will be understood that the surface of the second wall 12 facing away from the first wall 11 and the surface of the third wall 13 facing away from the first wall 11 are both part of the outer surface of the box body 1.
[0083] The second wall 12 has a first outer surface 121 that faces away from the first wall 11 along the second direction Z. The first outer surface 121 is the surface of the second wall 12 farthest from the first wall 11. Along the second direction Z, the distance between the first outer surface 121 and the first wall 11 is less than the minimum distance between the third wall 13 and the first wall 11, so that the second wall 12 is closer to the first wall 11 than the third wall 13.
[0084] The third wall 13 has a first surface 131 facing away from the first wall 11. Along the second direction Z, a redundant space is formed between the first outer surface 121 and the first surface 131. The redundant space is located outside the battery device 10.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the second wall 12 closer to the first wall 11 than the third wall 13, the size of the electrical compartment 1a along the second direction Z is smaller than the size of the battery compartment 1b along the second direction Z, thereby reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment 1a. By arranging the electrical components 22 connected to the second wall 12 and accommodated within the accommodating space 212 of the box body 21, the box body 21 can have a smaller size along the second direction Z, thereby reducing the space occupied by the battery management system 2 along the second direction Z. This allows for a smaller distance between the second wall 12 and the first wall 11, further reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment 1a and improving the space utilization of the battery device 10. In addition, along the second direction Z, the area on the side of the second wall 12 facing away from the electrical compartment 1a that is closer to the first wall 11 than the third wall 13 forms redundant space, which can be used to install other components, further reducing space waste in the battery device 10 and improving the space utilization of the battery device 10.

[0089] The second wall 12 has a first outer surface 121 facing away from the first wall 11 . The first outer surface 121 is the surface of the second wall 12 farthest from the first wall 11 . The distance between the first outer surface 121 and the first surface 131 along the second direction Z is the minimum distance between the second wall 12 and the first surface 131 .
[0090] The minimum distance between the second wall 12 and the first surface 131 is L, and L can be any one of 50mm, 52mm, 54mm, 56mm, 58mm, 60mm, 62mm, 64mm, 66mm, 68mm, 70mm, 72mm, 74mm, 76mm, 78mm, 80mm, 82mm, 84mm, 86mm, 88mm, 90mm, 92mm, 94mm, 96mm, 98mm, 100mm or any value between any two of them.
[0091] In this embodiment, along the second direction Z, the minimum distance between the second wall 12 and the third wall 13 is greater than or equal to 50 mm, which can enable the side of the second wall 12 away from the electrical compartment 1a to have a larger redundant space, which is conducive to the arrangement of other components and reduces the difficulty of setting up other components; the minimum distance between the second wall 12 and the third wall 13 is less than or equal to 100 mm, which can enable the electrical compartment 1a to have a larger space, which is conducive to the arrangement of components such as the battery management system 2 and reduces the difficulty of setting up the battery management system 2; therefore, the minimum distance between the second wall 12 and the third wall 13 is 50 mm-100 mm, which can reduce the difficulty of setting up components on both sides of the second wall 12 and improve the space utilization of the battery device 10.
[0092] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The battery management system 2 further includes a connection terminal 23 and a conductive wire harness 24 . The connection terminal 23 is electrically connected to the electrical component 22 .

[0093] The connection terminal 23 may be directly connected to the electrical component 22 to achieve electrical connection between the connection terminal 23 and the electrical component 22 ; or the connection terminal 23 may be connected to the electrical component 22 through a wire to achieve electrical connection between the connection terminal 23 and the electrical component 22 .
[0094] The conductive wire harness 24 may be connected to the plurality of connection terminals 23, which in turn may be connected to the plurality of electrical components 22, thereby electrically connecting the plurality of electrical components 22 within the housing 21. The battery management system 2 may further include an external connector. The conductive wire harness 24 may be connected to the connection terminals 23 and the external connector, which may be connected to the electrical components 22, thereby electrically connecting the electrical components 22 to the external connector. The external connector may be connected to an external device outside the battery device 10 or other electrical components within the battery device 10.
[0095] The conductive wire bundle 24 may be entirely embedded in the wall of the box body 21 ; or only a portion of the conductive wire bundle 24 may be embedded in the wall of the box body 21 , and the other portion may be located outside the box body 21 or in the accommodating space 212 .
[0096] In this embodiment, by burying at least part of the conductive wire bundle 24 in the wall of the box body 21, the box body 21 and the conductive wire bundle 24 can share a part of the height space, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the box body 21 along the second direction Z, so that a smaller distance can be set between the second wall 12 and the first wall 11, which is beneficial to reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment 1a and improving the space utilization of the battery device 10.
[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The electrical component 22 includes a relay 221 , which is electrically connected to the connection terminal 23 . At least one of the dimensions of the relay 221 along the first direction X and the dimensions along the third direction Y is greater than the dimension of the relay 221 along the second direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Z, and the third direction Y are perpendicular to each other.
[0098] The relay 221 is electrically connected to the connection terminal 23 , so that the relay 221 can be electrically connected to components such as the control board and the output pole of the battery device 10 through the connection terminal 23 and the conductive harness 24 .
[0099] The size of the relay 221 along the first direction X and the size along the third direction Y may both be larger than the size of the relay 221 along the second direction Z; the size of the relay 221 along the first direction X may be larger than the size of the relay 221 along the second direction Z, and the size of the relay 221 along the third direction Y may be smaller than the size of the relay 221 along the second direction Z; or the size of the relay 221 along the third direction Y may be larger than the size of the relay 221 along the second direction Z, and the size of the relay 221 along the first direction X may be smaller than the size of the relay 221 along the second direction Z.
[0100] In this embodiment, the size of the relay 221 along the second direction Z can be reduced, and the influence of the relay 221 on the size of the box body 21 along the second direction Z can be reduced, which is conducive to further reducing the size of the box body 21 along the second direction Z, further reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment 1a, and improving the space utilization of the battery device 10.
[0101] In some embodiments, the relay 221 may include a coil and a trigger mechanism. The coil being energized or de-energized can drive the trigger mechanism to connect or disconnect the output circuit of the battery device 10. The relay 221 may be constructed without a housing, with the coil exposed within the housing 21. The housing 21 secures the coil and insulates the coil from the exterior of the housing 21.
[0102] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is an exploded view of a battery device 10 according to yet another embodiment of the present application. The battery management system 2 is mounted on the second wall 12. The first wall 11 is provided with an access opening 111, which communicates with the electrical compartment 1a.

[0103] The battery management system 2 on the second wall 12 can be inspected through the inspection opening 111 on the first wall 11. When the battery device 10 is in normal use, the inspection opening 111 is closed by covering it with the inspection cover 15, thereby reducing the risk of debris entering the electrical compartment 1a.
[0104] The number of inspection openings 111 may be one or more. In an embodiment where there are multiple inspection openings 111, one inspection cover 15 may be provided for each inspection opening 111, with one inspection cover 15 covering one inspection opening 111; or one inspection cover 15 may be provided for multiple inspection openings 111, with one inspection cover 15 covering multiple inspection openings 111.
[0105] The inspection cover 15 can be connected to the first wall 11 by snapping, pinning, or fasteners, so as to achieve a detachable connection between the inspection cover 15 and the first wall 11. The fasteners can be bolts.
[0106] In this embodiment, by arranging the battery management system 2 on the second wall 12, the battery management system 2 on the second wall 12 can be directly inspected through the inspection port 111 on the first wall 11, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintaining the battery management system 2. By providing an inspection cover 15 that is detachably connected to the first wall 11, when inspecting components in the electrical compartment 1a, only the inspection cover 15 needs to be removed to inspect the components in the electrical compartment 1a, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintaining the electrical compartment 1a. When the battery device 10 is installed at the bottom of the vehicle 100, the first wall 11 can serve as the bottom wall of the battery device 10. In this way, compared to disassembling the entire battery device 10 for inspection, inspecting the battery management system 2 by removing the inspection cover 15 simplifies the maintenance steps and reduces the difficulty of inspection.
[0107] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The housing 1 includes a frame 16, to which the first wall 11, the second wall 12, and the third wall 13 are all connected.

In an embodiment where the first portion 112 and the second portion 113 are separately provided and connected, the first portion 112 and the second portion 113 are detachably connected.
[0113] The first portion 112 can be connected to the frame 16 by snapping, pinning or fasteners, wherein the fasteners can be bolts.
[0114] In this embodiment, by providing a detachable connection between the first part 112 and the frame 16, the components in the electrical compartment 1a can be replaced by removing the first part 112, which helps to reduce the difficulty of maintaining the electrical compartment 1a.
[0115] In some embodiments, a sealing gasket is provided between the third wall 13 and the frame 16 , and the sealing gasket is used to seal the connection position between the third wall 13 and the frame 16 to achieve sealing of the battery compartment 1 b .
[0116] In some embodiments, the second portion 113 is detachably connected to the frame 16 .
[0117] The second portion 113 can be connected to the frame 16 by snapping, pinning or fastening members, wherein the fastening members can be bolts.
[0118] In this embodiment, by providing a detachable connection between the second portion 113 and the frame 16 , the battery compartment 1 b can be inspected and maintained by removing the second portion 113 , which helps to reduce the difficulty of maintaining the battery compartment 1 b.
[0119] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The box body 1 further includes a bottom guard plate 17, which is connected to the first wall 11 and located on the side of the first wall 11 away from the second wall 12. The projection of the bottom guard plate 17 along the second direction Z covers at least a portion of the electrical compartment 1a.
[0120] The bottom guard plate 17 is connected to the first wall 11 by snap connection, pin connection or fasteners, wherein the fasteners can be bolts.
[0121] In a projection plane perpendicular to the second direction Z, the orthographic projection of the bottom guard plate 17 may cover the entire electrical compartment 1a, or may cover a portion of the electrical compartment 1a. The orthographic projection of the bottom guard plate 17 may cover only at least a portion of the electrical compartment 1a, or may cover at least a portion of both the electrical compartment 1a and the battery compartment 1b.
[0122] In this embodiment, the bottom guard plate 17 can enhance the strength of the first wall 11 , reduce the risk of damage to the first wall 11 causing partial damage to the electrical compartment 1 a , and improve the reliability of the battery device 10 .
[0123] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The projection of the bottom guard plate 17 along the second direction Z completely covers the electrical compartment 1 a.

[0125] In this embodiment, the risk of components in the electrical compartment 1 a being damaged by external forces can be further reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the battery device 10 .
[0126] An embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle 100 , comprising a battery device 10 as provided in any one of the above embodiments.
[0127] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 The vehicle 100 further includes a power distribution module 40 , which is disposed on a surface of the second wall 12 facing away from the first wall 11 along the second direction Z and is electrically connected to the battery device 10 .
[0128] The power distribution module 40 and the battery management system 2 may both be disposed on the second wall 12. The electrical components in the electrical compartment 1a and the power distribution module 40 share the second wall 12 to save installation space.
[0129] The power distribution module 40 can be connected to the first wall 11 by snap connection, pin connection or fasteners, wherein the fasteners can be bolts.
[0130] In this embodiment, by arranging the power distribution module 40 on the surface of the second wall 12 facing away from the first wall 11 along the second direction Z, the space utilization of the battery assembly 10 is improved, space waste of the battery assembly 10 is reduced, and the layout structure of the vehicle 100 is optimized. Furthermore, the close distance between the power distribution module 40 and the battery assembly 10 shortens the path of the wiring harness connecting the power distribution module 40 and the battery assembly 10, reducing energy consumption and electromagnetic interference from the power distribution module 40 to other components of the vehicle 100.
[0131] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The third wall 13 has a first surface 131 facing away from the first wall 11 , and the power distribution module 40 does not protrude from the first surface 131 along a direction from the first wall 11 to the second wall 12 .
[0132] The surface of the second wall 12 facing away from the electrical compartment 1 a is the first outer surface 121 . Along the second direction Z, a redundant space is formed between the first surface 131 and the first outer surface 121 , and the power distribution module 40 is accommodated in the redundant space.
[0133] In this embodiment, the power distribution module 40 does not protrude from the first surface 131 , which can reduce the risk of interference between the power distribution module 40 and other components of the vehicle 100 and improve the structural stability of the power distribution module 40 .
[0134] Please refer to Figure 2-Figure 8 . An embodiment of the present application provides a battery device 10, including a case 1, a battery management system 2 and a battery cell 3. The case 1 has an electrical compartment 1a and a battery compartment 1b arranged along a first direction X. The battery management system 2 is accommodated in the electrical compartment 1a, and the battery management system 2 includes a case 21, an electrical component 22, a connecting terminal 23 and a conductive wiring harness 24. The case 21 has a accommodating space 212. The electrical component 22 is accommodated in the accommodating space 212. The connecting terminal 23 is electrically connected to the electrical component 22. The conductive wiring harness 24 is connected to the connecting terminal 23, and the conductive wiring harness 24 is at least partially buried in the wall of the case 21. The battery cell 3 is accommodated in the battery compartment 1b and is electrically connected to the battery management system 2. The housing 1 includes a first wall 11, a second wall 12, and a third wall 13. Both the second wall 12 and the third wall 13 are disposed opposite the first wall 11 along a second direction Z. The electrical compartment 1a is formed between the first and second walls 11, and the battery compartment 1b is formed between the first and third walls 11, 13. The second wall 12 is closer to the first wall 11 than the third wall 13. The third wall 13 has a first surface 131 facing away from the first wall 11. Along the second direction Z, the minimum distance between the second wall 12 and the first surface 131 is 50 mm to 100 mm. The electrical component 22 includes a relay 221 electrically connected to the connection terminal 23. At least one of the dimensions of the relay 221 along the first direction X and the dimension along the third direction Y is greater than the dimension of the relay 221 along the second direction Z. The first, second, and third directions Y are perpendicular to each other. The battery management system 2 is disposed in the second wall 12. The first wall 11 is provided with an access port 111, which communicates with the electrical compartment 1a. The housing 1 further includes an inspection cover 15, which is disposed over the inspection opening 111 and is detachably connected to the first wall 11. The housing 1 further includes a bottom guard plate 17, which is connected to the first wall 11 and is located on a side of the first wall 11 facing away from the second wall 12. The projection of the bottom guard plate 17 along the second direction Z covers at least a portion of the electrical compartment 1a.
[0135] In this battery device 10, by positioning the second wall 12 closer to the first wall 11 than the third wall 13 along the second direction Z, the size of the electrical compartment 1a along the second direction Z is smaller than that of the battery compartment 1b along the second direction Z. This reduces the impact of the size of the battery cells 3 on the size of the electrical compartment 1a, reduces the space occupied by the electrical compartment 1a, and improves the space utilization of the electrical compartment 1a, thereby improving the space utilization of the battery device 10. Furthermore, along the second direction Z, the area of the second wall 12 facing away from the electrical compartment 1a, which is closer to the first wall 11 than the third wall 13, creates redundant space, which can be used to install other components, further reducing space waste in the battery device 10 and improving its space utilization. By embedding at least a portion of the conductive wiring harness 24 within the wall of the case 21, the case 21 and the conductive wiring harness 24 share a portion of the height space, which helps reduce the size of the case 21 along the second direction Z. This allows for a smaller distance between the second wall 12 and the first wall 11, further reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment 1a and improving the space utilization of the battery device 10. The relay 221 has a smaller size along the second direction Z, reducing its impact on the size of the housing 21 along the second direction Z. This helps further reduce the size of the housing 21 along the second direction Z, further reducing the space occupied by the electrical compartment 1a and improving the space utilization of the battery assembly 10. When the battery assembly 10 is installed on the bottom of the vehicle 100, the first wall 11 can serve as the bottom wall of the battery assembly 10. This simplifies maintenance procedures and reduces the difficulty of repairs by removing the inspection cover 15, compared to disassembling the entire battery assembly 10 for inspection. The bottom guard plate 17 enhances the strength of the first wall 11, reducing the risk of damage to the electrical compartment 1a caused by damage to the first wall 11, and improving the reliability of the battery assembly 10.
