Figure 7 The battery pack support structure shown includes end frames at both ends, an L-shaped frame between the end frames, and a cuboid frame. The lower battery is housed and fixed within the cuboid frame, while the upper battery is fixed to the top of the cuboid frame. The end frames, L-shaped frame, and cuboid frame, as well as the various components of the cuboid frame, are all rigidly welded together. During vehicle travel, the battery pack is susceptible to significant impacts. Furthermore, on-site welding and installation of the support is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, and the support structure is complex.
