[0002] In existing technologies, vehicles typically house batteries as energy storage devices, which are usually contained within frame components. However, various battery models and sizes are available on the market, necessitating customized designs for battery placement within vehicles. This not only impacts the vehicle design process but also increases production costs. Therefore, providing a more adaptable frame to accommodate the placement requirements of batteries of diverse sizes is essential. Summary of the Invention

To this end, one object of the present invention is to provide a frame assembly that accommodates a battery using a first frame and a second frame, the structural arrangement of which can be adjusted according to the battery model and size requirements, thereby making the frame assembly more adaptable to meet the arrangement needs of different batteries.

[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide a battery device having a frame assembly as described above.

[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle having a battery device as shown above.

[0006] A framework component according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: First framework; The second frame is symmetrically arranged with respect to the first frame; A connector, wherein there are multiple connectors, and the multiple connectors are connected relative to each other between the first frame and the second frame; The first frame has a first accommodating space, and the second frame has a second accommodating space. The first accommodating space and the second accommodating space are used to accommodate the battery, and the first accommodating space and the second accommodating space are arranged opposite to each other.

[0007] According to the frame assembly of the present invention, a first frame and a second frame are connected by a connector to improve the connection strength between the first frame and the second frame, thereby giving the frame assembly higher structural strength to meet usage requirements. In specific use, the first frame and the second frame can be formed with different sizes to accommodate batteries of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the frame assembly and meeting the usage requirements of various vehicles.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first frame includes: at least one first component, wherein when there are multiple first components, the multiple first components are arranged side by side; the second frame includes: at least one second component, wherein when there are multiple second components, the multiple second components are arranged side by side, wherein one of the first components is connected to one of the second components by a connector arranged opposite to each other; and the first component includes a first layer, wherein there is at least one first layer, wherein when there are at least two first layers, the multiple first layers are stacked; the second component includes a second layer, wherein there is at least one second layer, wherein when there are at least two second layers, the multiple second layers are stacked.

[0009] In some embodiments, during the actual design and construction of the framework components, it is suitable to include multiple situations. Specifically, the first framework is suitable to include a first component, with at least one first component. Similarly, the second framework is suitable to include a second component, with at least one second component. During the actual construction of the first component, it is suitable to include a first layer, with at least one first layer, and multiple first layers are stacked sequentially. Similarly, during the actual construction of the second component, it is suitable to include a second layer, with at least two first layers, and multiple second layers are stacked sequentially.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first components arranged side by side are fixedly connected by a first fastener, and the second components arranged side by side are fixedly connected by a second fastener; and the first layer arranged in layers is fixedly connected by a third fastener, and the second layer arranged in layers is fixedly connected by a fourth fastener.

[0011] In some embodiments, when the first components are arranged side-by-side, they are adapted to be fixedly connected by a first fastener, so that the first fastener can increase the structural reliability of the first components when arranged side-by-side. Similarly, when the second components are arranged side-by-side, they are adapted to be fixedly connected by a second fastener, so that the second fastener can increase the structural reliability of the second components when arranged side-by-side. When the first layer is stacked, the stacked first layer is fixed and restrained by a third fastener, so that the structural strength of the first layer when stacked is improved, thereby improving the stacking reliability of multiple first layers. Similarly, when the second layer is stacked, the stacked second layer is fixed and restrained by a fourth fastener, so that the structural strength of the second layer when stacked is improved, thereby improving the stacking reliability of multiple second layers.

[0012] In some embodiments, the first and second fixing members are both detachable fixing members, and the third and fourth fixing members are both fixing bolts.

[0013] In some embodiments, during the use of the first and second fasteners, it is suitable to configure the first and second fasteners as detachable fasteners to simplify the assembly and connection process of the first and second components, and to ensure good connection reliability to meet the structural strength requirements during battery assembly. When stacking the first and second layers, it is suitable to use fixing bolts to improve the reliability of the structure in the first and second layers during the stacking process, so that the first and second components can be easily assembled and disassembled while meeting usage requirements. This allows the frame assembly to adjust the number of connection structures as needed during use, improving its applicability.

[0014] In some embodiments, both the first layer and the second layer include: a first connector; two second connectors, with the two second connectors being connected opposite to each other at both ends of the first connector; and a third connector, with at least two third connectors being connected opposite to each other at both ends of the first connector; wherein at least two of the first connector, the second connector, and the third connector are perpendicular to each other.

[0015] In some embodiments, the construction of the first and second layers is adapted to include a first connector, a second connector, and a third connector. During construction, the first connector is adapted to provide a bearing center to support the second connectors on both sides. At the end of the first connector, not only the second connector but also the third connector is connected. Since the first, second, and third connectors are adapted to be perpendicular to each other during use, the first, second, and third connectors can be constructed in different directions to form a frame structure. This makes the construction of the first and second layers simpler, and the constructed structure can meet the arrangement requirements of batteries of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the frame assembly.

[0016] In some embodiments, the first layer and the second layer further include: a mounting bracket connected to the second connector, the mounting bracket being used to carry the battery; and a reinforcing member connected to the side of the first layer opposite to the second layer, the reinforcing member being used to connect the stacked first layer or the stacked second layer.

[0017] In some embodiments, during the construction of the first and second layers, it is suitable to provide a mounting bracket at the second connector so that the mounting bracket can better support the battery, thereby improving the reliability of the battery arrangement within the frame assembly. Furthermore, the mounting bracket can be adjusted according to different battery models and sizes, allowing the first and second layers to use different mounting brackets according to actual usage needs during use, thus improving the applicability of the frame assembly.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first connector, the second connector, and the third connector are all castings.

[0019] In some embodiments, during the construction process, the first connector, the second connector, and the third connector are adapted to be constructed as castings. This reduces production costs while ensuring high structural reliability of the first and second layers to meet the load-bearing and protection requirements of the battery, thereby improving the structural performance of the frame assembly. Furthermore, by making the first connector, the second connector, and the third connector as castings, adjustments can be made according to actual usage requirements, thus enhancing the applicability of the frame assembly.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first component and the second component further include a bracket connected to the outermost one of the plurality of first layers and the plurality of second layers.

[0021] In some embodiments, during the construction of the first and second components, it is adapted to provide a bracket on one of the outermost layers of a plurality of stacked first and second layers, the bracket being adapted to provide a handle to facilitate the user's movement of the frame assembly after battery assembly.

[0022] A battery device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame assembly as described above.

[0023] According to the battery device of the present invention, since the structure of the frame assembly can be adapted to the battery, the battery device has high applicability and can provide more reliable performance to meet the usage requirements.

[0024] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a battery device as described above.

[0025] According to embodiments of the present invention, during the vehicle construction process, the battery device can be adaptively selected according to the needs, so that the battery device can provide sufficient performance to meet the vehicle's use and reduce the vehicle's production cost.

[0026] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and readily understood from the description of the embodiments taken in conjunction with the following drawings, in which: Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a frame component according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a frame component according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a frame component according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure label: Framework component 10, First frame 100, first accommodating space 101, first component 110, first layer 111 Second frame 200, second accommodating space 201, second component 210, second layer 211 Connector 300, First fastener 410, second fastener 420, third fastener 430, fourth fastener 440.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary. The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

[0029] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 A frame assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first frame 100, a second frame 200, and connectors 300, wherein the second frame 200 and the first frame 100 are symmetrically arranged; there are multiple connectors 300, and the multiple connectors 300 are connected relative to each other between the first frame 100 and the second frame 200. The first frame 100 has a first accommodating space 101, and the second frame 200 has a second accommodating space 201. The first accommodating space 101 and the second accommodating space 201 are used to accommodate the battery, and the first accommodating space 101 and the second accommodating space 201 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0030] It should be noted that in the process of battery placement within a vehicle, the battery is typically placed on a frame. This frame provides structural support for the battery assembly, allowing it to be assembled and constrained within the vehicle as designed for energy storage and power provision. However, the market offers a variety of batteries with different sizes. Therefore, the placement of batteries within a vehicle requires a specially designed frame, increasing both design complexity and production costs. Thus, providing a highly adaptable frame assembly 10 to meet the placement requirements of batteries of various sizes is essential.

[0031] In other words, the frame assembly 10 provided in this application is suitable to include a first frame 100, a second frame 200 and a connector 300. The first frame 100 is provided with a first accommodating space 101, and the second frame 200 is provided with a second accommodating space 201. The first accommodating space 101 and the second accommodating space 201 can accommodate batteries as needed. The connector 300 is suitable to connect the first frame 100 and the second frame 200, so that the structural arrangement of the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 is more reliable, so that the frame assembly 10 has higher structural strength to meet the requirements of battery placement and use in vehicles.

[0032] In some specific embodiments, it is suitable to use different frames according to the battery used in the specific use process, so that the different frames have different sizes of accommodating space to accommodate the battery, so that the frame assembly 10 has higher applicability to meet the needs of batteries of various sizes. The more applicable frame assembly 10 can be arranged in the vehicle as needed after the battery is assembled. While having higher structural strength, it also has higher applicability to accommodate batteries of different sizes.

[0033] According to the frame assembly 10 of the present invention, a first frame 100 and a second frame 200 are connected by a connector 300. The connector 300 enhances the connection strength between the first frame 100 and the second frame 200, thereby giving the frame assembly 10 higher structural strength to meet usage requirements. In specific use, the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 can be formed with different sizes to accommodate batteries of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the frame assembly 10 and meeting the usage requirements of various vehicles.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first frame 100 includes at least one first component 110, wherein when there are multiple first components 110, the multiple first components 110 are arranged side by side; The second frame 200 includes: at least one second component 210, wherein when there are multiple second components 210, the multiple second components 210 are arranged side by side, and one of the first components 110 is connected to one of the second components 210 by a connector 300 arranged opposite to each other; and The first component 110 includes a first layer 111, and there is at least one first layer 111. When there are at least two first layers 111, multiple first layers 111 are stacked. The second component 210 includes a second layer 211, and there is at least one second layer 211. When there are at least two second layers 211, multiple second layers 211 are stacked.

[0035] In other words, in the actual design and construction process of the framework component 10, it is suitable to include multiple situations. Specifically, the first framework 100 is suitable to include the first component 110, and the first component 110 is at least one. Similarly, the second framework 200 is suitable to include the second component 210, and the second component 210 is also at least one. In the actual construction process of the first component 110, it is suitable to include the first layer 111, and the first layer 111 is at least one, and multiple first layers 111 are stacked in sequence. Similarly, in the actual construction process of the second component 210, it is suitable to include the second layer 211, and the first layer 111 is at least two, and multiple second layers 211 are stacked in sequence.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the first component 110 disposed within the first frame 100 can be set to one or two. Since the first component 110 and the second component 210 are disposed opposite to each other, when there is one first component 110, there is one second component 210 connected and fixed by the connector 300, and when there are two first components 110, there are two second components 210 connected and fixed by the connectors 300 respectively. In the arrangement of the first component 110 and the second component 210, the first component 110 is suitable to include at least one first layer 111. The number of first layers 111 can be set according to different battery models and sizes. That is to say, one, two or three first layers 111 can be used as needed, which is adjusted according to the specific battery model, and will not be elaborated here. The arrangement of the second layer 211 is the same as that of the first layer 111, which can be deduced from the above description, and will not be further described here.

[0037] In other words, during the specific design process, the frame assembly 10 can be configured as one first frame 100 connected to one second frame 200, or two first frames 100 connected to two second frames 200, depending on the requirements. The first frames 100 and second frames 200 can also be arranged in one to three layers as needed. In this way, the frame assembly 10 protected by this application can accommodate batteries of different sizes as needed, thereby making the frame assembly 10 more adaptable to meet the design and usage requirements of vehicles.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first component 110 arranged side by side is fixedly connected by the first fastener 410, and the second component 210 arranged side by side is fixedly connected by the second fastener 420; and the first layer 111 arranged in layers is fixedly connected by the third fastener 430, and the second layer 211 arranged in layers is fixedly connected by the fourth fastener 440.

[0039] Understandably, when the first components 110 are arranged side-by-side, they are preferably fixedly connected by the first fastener 410 to increase the structural reliability of the first components 110 when arranged side-by-side. Similarly, when the second components 210 are arranged side-by-side, they are preferably fixedly connected by the second fastener 420 to increase the structural reliability of the second components 210 when arranged side-by-side. When the first layer 111 is stacked, the stacked first layer 111 is fixed and restrained by the third fastener 430 to improve the structural strength of the first layer 111 when stacked, thereby improving the stacking reliability of multiple first layers 111. Similarly, when the second layer 211 is stacked, the stacked second layer 211 is fixed and restrained by the fourth fastener 440 to improve the structural strength of the second layer 211 when stacked, thereby improving the stacking reliability of multiple second layers 211.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 410 and the second fixing member 420 are both detachable fixing members, and the third fixing member 430 and the fourth fixing member 440 are both fixing bolts. That is, during the use of the first fixing member 410 and the second fixing member 420, it is suitable to set the first fixing member 410 and the second fixing member 420 as detachable fixing members, so as to simplify the assembly and connection process of the first component 110 and the second component 210, and the connection reliability is better to meet the structural strength requirements during battery assembly. When stacking the first layer 111 and the second layer 211, it is suitable to use fixing bolts to improve the reliability of the structure in the first layer 111 and the second layer 211 during the stacking process, so that the first component 110 and the second component 210 can be assembled and disassembled more conveniently while meeting the use requirements. This allows the frame component 10 to adjust the number of connection structures as needed during use, thereby improving its applicability.

[0041] In some embodiments, both the first layer 111 and the second layer 211 include: a first connector 510, a second connector 520, and a third connector 530; there are two second connectors 520, and the two second connectors 520 are connected to the two ends of the first connector 510; there are multiple third connectors 530, and at least two third connectors 530 are connected to the two ends of the first connector 510; wherein at least two of the first connectors 510, the second connectors 520, and the third connectors 530 are perpendicular to each other.

[0042] It should be noted that during the construction of the first layer 111 and the second layer 211, it is suitable to include a first connector 510, a second connector 520 and a third connector 530. During the construction process, the first connector 510 is suitable to provide a bearing center to support the second connectors 520 on both sides. At the end of the first connector 510, not only the second connector 520 is connected, but also the third connector 530 is connected. Since the first connector 510, the second connector 520 and the third connector 530 are suitable to be perpendicular to each other during use, the first connector 510, the second connector 520 and the third connector 530 can be constructed in different directions to form a frame structure. This makes the construction of the first layer 111 and the second layer 211 relatively simple, and the constructed structure can meet the arrangement requirements of batteries of different sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the frame component 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first layer 111 and the second layer 211 further include a mounting bracket 540, which is connected to the second connector 520 and is used to support the battery. It is understood that during the construction of the first layer 111 and the second layer 211, it is suitable to provide a mounting bracket 540 at the second connector 520 so that the mounting bracket 540 can better support the battery, thereby improving the reliability of the battery arrangement within the frame assembly 10. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 540 can be adjusted according to different battery models and sizes, so that the first layer 111 and the second layer 211 can be adjusted to use different mounting brackets 540 according to actual usage needs during use, thereby improving the applicability of the frame assembly 10.

[0044] The first layer 111 and the second layer 211 also include a reinforcing member 550, which is connected to the opposite side of the first layer 111 and the second layer 211, and is used to connect the stacked first layer 111 or the stacked second layer 211. That is, during the construction of the first layer 111 and the second layer 211, it is also suitable to connect the stacked first layer 111 and the second layer 211 through the reinforcing member 550, so as to improve the structural strength of the first component 110 and the second component 210, thereby improving the performance of the frame component 10.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first connector 510, the second connector 520, and the third connector 530 are all castings. It is understood that during the construction process, the first connector 510, the second connector 520, and the third connector 530 are preferably constructed as castings. This reduces production costs while ensuring high structural reliability of the first layer 111 and the second layer 211 to meet the battery's load-bearing protection requirements, thus improving the structural performance of the frame assembly 10. Furthermore, making the first connector 510, the second connector 520, and the third connector 530 as castings allows for adjustments based on actual usage requirements, thereby enhancing the applicability of the frame assembly 10.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first component 110 and the second component 210 further include a bracket 560, which is connected to the outermost one of the plurality of first layers 111 and the plurality of second layers 211. Thus, during the construction of the first component 110 and the second component 210, it is adapted to provide a bracket 560 on the outermost one of the stacked plurality of first layers 111 and the plurality of second layers 211, the bracket 560 being adapted to provide a handle to facilitate the user's movement and use of the frame component 10 after battery assembly via the bracket 560.

[0047] The battery device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the frame assembly 10 as described above. That is, in the battery device of this application, because the structure of the frame assembly 10 can be adaptively adjusted according to the battery, the battery device has high applicability and can provide relatively reliable performance to meet usage requirements.

[0048] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the battery device as described above. Thus, during the vehicle's construction process, the battery device can be adaptively selected according to requirements, ensuring that the battery device provides sufficient performance to meet vehicle usage needs and reducing vehicle production costs.
