Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As a rodent, mice have rapidly growing teeth throughout their lives, and they must chew objects every day to wear down their rapidly growing teeth to maintain their physiological habits. At present, some of the upper covers of vehicle battery packs are made of soft plastics with a certain smell. After the battery pack is finished working, the overall temperature is high, which is easy to become a place for mice to keep warm. Therefore, the upper cover is easily bitten by mice, and the upper cover is easily bitten, which can easily lead to seal failure. Water may enter during the operation of the vehicle, causing leakage, which in turn affects the safety of the battery pack and the vehicle. Utility Model Content

[0003] To this end, the present application provides a vehicle to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0004] The present application provides a vehicle, comprising a vehicle floor, a battery and a battery protection structure; the battery is located below the vehicle floor, the battery comprises a battery pack, a tray and an upper cover, the tray and the upper cover are buckled to form a receiving space for accommodating the battery pack; the battery protection structure comprises a rigid protective member, the rigid protective member comprises a surrounding protective portion and a first flange, the surrounding protective portion is arranged at least circumferentially around the side of the upper cover, the first flange is arranged on the edge of the surrounding protective portion at one end close to the vehicle floor, and the first flange is arranged adjacent to the vehicle floor, wherein the hardness of the rigid protective member is greater than the hardness of the upper cover.

[0005] In the present application, since the hardness of the rigid protective member is greater than that of the upper cover, the rigid protective member includes a surrounding protective portion and a first flange, and the surrounding protective portion is arranged at least circumferentially around the side of the upper cover. Therefore, under the protection of the surrounding protective portion, it is not easy for mice to gnaw the side of the upper cover; and since the first flange is arranged on the edge of one end of the surrounding protective portion close to the vehicle floor, the first flange is arranged adjacent to the vehicle floor. Therefore, it is not easy for mice to enter from the gap between the first flange and the floor to gnaw the upper surface of the upper cover, thereby making the entire upper cover less likely to be gnawed by mice, and further, it can better avoid sealing failure and water ingress and leakage during the operation of the whole vehicle, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack and the vehicle.

[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 1 A partial structural schematic diagram of a vehicle 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a battery protection structure and a battery provided in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a battery provided in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 4 A schematic exploded view of a battery protection structure, a base plate, and a first structure of a battery provided in some embodiments of the present application.

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle 100 includes a vehicle floor 10, a battery 20 and a battery protection structure 30; the battery 20 is located below the vehicle floor 10, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the battery 20 includes a battery pack 21, a tray 22 and an upper cover 23, and the tray 22 and the upper cover 23 are buckled together to form a receiving space for accommodating the battery pack 21; Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the battery protection structure 30 includes a rigid protective member 31, and the rigid protective member 31 includes a surrounding protective portion 311 and a first flange 312. The surrounding protective portion 311 is arranged at least circumferentially around the side surface 231a of the upper cover 23, and the first flange 312 is arranged on the edge of one end of the surrounding protective portion 311 close to the vehicle floor 10. The first flange 312 is arranged adjacent to the vehicle floor 10, wherein the hardness of the rigid protective member 31 is greater than the hardness of the upper cover 23.

[0023] In the present application, since the hardness of the rigid protective member 31 is greater than the hardness of the upper cover 23, the rigid protective member 31 includes a surrounding protective portion 311 and a first flange 312. The surrounding protective portion 311 is arranged at least circumferentially around the side of the upper cover 23. Therefore, under the protection of the surrounding protective portion 311, it is not easy for mice to gnaw the side 231a of the upper cover 23; and since the first flange 312 is arranged on the edge of one end of the surrounding protective portion 311 close to the vehicle floor 10, the first flange 312 is arranged adjacent to the vehicle floor 10. Therefore, it is not easy for mice to enter from the gap between the first flange 312 and the floor to gnaw the upper surface 232a of the upper cover 23, thereby making the entire upper cover 23 not easy to be gnawed by mice, and further, it can better avoid sealing failure and water ingress and leakage during the operation of the whole vehicle, thereby improving the safety of the battery pack 21 and the vehicle 100.

[0024] The vehicle 100 may be, but is not limited to, a small car, a sports car, an SUV (sports utility vehicle), an MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), a cargo van, and a convertible.

[0025] In some embodiments, the material of the rigid protection member 31 may be, but is not limited to, a material with a relatively high hardness such as metal or alloy, such as aluminum alloy or steel. The material of the upper cover 23 may be a material with a relatively low hardness such as plastic. The material of the tray 22 may also be a material with a relatively high hardness such as metal or alloy, such as aluminum alloy or steel.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 A partial structural cross-sectional diagram of a battery protection structure and a base plate provided in some embodiments of the present application.

[0027] In some embodiments, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first flange 312 is connected to the vehicle floor 10, specifically, it can be connected through the first connecting member 11, the first connecting member 11 can be but not limited to screws or bolts, etc., accordingly, the first flange 312 and the vehicle floor 10 are provided with corresponding first connecting holes 110, the first connecting member 11 is penetrated in the first connecting hole 110 to connect the first flange 312 with the vehicle floor 10. Among them, the rigid protective member 31 is connected to the vehicle floor 10 through the first flange 312, which facilitates the rigid protective member 31 to be connected to the vehicle floor 10 in the case of a thin thickness. If there is no first flange 312, and the first connecting hole 110 connected to the vehicle floor 10 is provided on the surrounding protective portion 311, the surrounding protective portion 311 will need to have a certain thickness. When the rigid protective member 31 is made of metal or alloy, the first flange 312 is provided to make the rigid protective member 31 thinner, thereby reducing the production cost of the vehicle 100 and reducing the weight of the vehicle 100 .

[0028] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the upper cover 23 is in the shape of an open rectangular box, and includes a side surface 231a and an upper surface 232a, wherein the upper surface 232a is rectangular or quasi-rectangular (part of the edge is curved rather than straight, but the overall appearance is similar to a rectangle), and the side surface 231a is a rectangular ring or quasi-rectangular ring (a shape that is somewhat different from a rectangular ring but similar to a rectangular ring). In other embodiments, the upper cover 23 may also be in other shapes, and is not limited to the examples given here.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first flange 312 is a flange extending from the outer surface 31A side to the inner surface (not marked) side of the rigid protective member 31. That is, the first flange 312 is located between the upper surface 232a of the upper cover 23 and the vehicle floor 10. At this time, the first flange 312 does not need to occupy additional space, and for the vehicle 100, the space can be used more efficiently. In addition, when flying pebbles fly to the upper surface of the upper cover 23 through the gap between the first flange 312 and the vehicle floor 10 during driving, since the first flange 312 is a flange extending from the outer surface 31A side to the inner surface side of the rigid protective member 31, that is, the first flange 312 can also protect part of the upper surface of the upper cover 23, thereby strengthening the protection of the battery pack 21.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the first flange 312 is a flange of the rigid protective member 31 extending from the inner surface 31B side toward the outer surface 31A side. Compared with the first flange 312 which is a flange extending from the outer surface 31A side to the inner surface side of the rigid protective member 31, and the first flange 312 is in contact with the upper surface 232a of the upper cover 23, the first flange 312 is connected to the vehicle floor 10 through a first connecting member 11, such as a screw or a bolt. After the screw or bolt is screwed into the first flange 312 from the side of the vehicle floor 10, it is difficult to continue to screw because it is supported by the upper surface 232a of the upper cover 23. In this scheme, the first flange 312 is a flange extending from the inner surface 31B side to the outer surface 31A side of the rigid protective member 31, and there is no obstruction on the side of the first flange 312 away from the vehicle floor 10. Therefore, after the screw or bolt is screwed into the first flange 312 from the side of the vehicle floor 10, it can be further screwed in, so that the connection stability between the screw or bolt and the first flange 312 is better.

[0031] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 An exploded schematic diagram of a second structure of a battery protection structure, a bottom plate, and a battery provided in some embodiments of the present application; Figure 7 A projection view of a portion of a battery protection structure and a bottom plate structure provided in some embodiments of the present application at a first angle.

[0032] Similar to the above embodiments, but different from the above embodiments, in some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the battery protection structure 30 further includes a first seal 32, which is disposed between the vehicle floor 10 of the vehicle 100 and the first flange 312 to seal the gap between the vehicle floor 10 of the vehicle 100 and the first flange 312. Thus, water, pebbles, etc. can be better prevented from entering the gap between the vehicle floor 10 of the vehicle 100 and the first flange 312 during the driving of the vehicle 100.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first sealing member 32 is a foam. During the use of the vehicle 100, the vehicle floor 10 and the first flange 312 may be deformed due to the force that causes the two to move relative to each other. In order to save production costs, the first flange 312 is usually thinner. When the first flange 312 and the vehicle floor 10 are fastened together by screws or bolts, the first flange 312 is easy to break. However, the first sealing member 32 is disposed between the vehicle floor 10 of the vehicle 100 and the first flange 312, and the first sealing member 32 is a foam, which can play a certain buffering role, thereby extending the service life of the first flange 312.

[0034] In other embodiments, the first sealing member 32 may also be other elastic sealing members.

[0035] In some embodiments, Figure 4 or Figure 6 As shown, the rigid protective member 31 also includes a second flange 313 provided on the other end edge of the surrounding protective portion 311, and the second flange 313 extends from the inner surface side to the outer surface 31A side, the upper cover 23 includes an upper cover flange portion 233, and the tray 22 includes a tray flange portion 223, and the second flange 313, the upper cover flange portion 233 and the tray flange portion 223 are stacked in sequence; the battery 20 also includes a second connecting member 24, and the second flange 313, the upper cover flange portion 233 and the tray flange portion 223 are all provided with corresponding second connecting holes 240, and the connecting member 24 is passed through the second connecting hole 240 to fasten the rigid protective member 31, the upper cover 23 and the tray 22.

[0036] Thus, the rigid protective member 31, the upper cover 23 and the tray 22 are fixed together to avoid displacement relative to each other, thereby effectively ensuring that the rigid protective member 31 protects the upper cover 23, and effectively ensuring that the rigid protective member 31, the upper cover 23 and the tray 22 protect the battery pack 21.

[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 4 or Figure 6As shown, the tray 22 further includes a tray bottom plate 221 and a tray side plate 222, the tray side plate 222 extends from the tray bottom plate 221 toward the upper cover 23, and the tray flange portion 223 is arranged along the circumference of the tray side plate 222 away from the tray bottom plate 221. The upper cover 23 further includes an upper cover side plate 231 and an upper cover top plate 232, the upper cover side plate 231 extends from the upper cover top plate 232 toward the tray 22, and the upper cover flange portion 233 is arranged along the circumference of the upper cover side plate 231 away from the upper cover top plate 232.

[0038] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , Figure 8 A schematic diagram of a third structure explosion of a battery protection structure, a bottom plate, and a battery provided in some embodiments of the present application; Fig. 9 A schematic cross-sectional view of a partial battery protection structure and a battery provided in some embodiments of the present application.

[0039] Similar to the above embodiments, but different from the above embodiments, in some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the battery 20 also includes a second seal 25, and the battery protection structure 30 also includes a pressure plate 33; the second seal 25 is arranged between the upper cover 23 and the tray 22 to seal the gap between the upper cover 23 and the tray 22; the pressure plate 33, the second flange 313, the upper cover flange portion 233 and the tray flange portion 223 are stacked in sequence, and the pressure plate 33 is also provided with a corresponding second connecting hole 240, and the second connecting member 24 is passed through the second connecting hole 240 to fasten the pressure plate 33, the rigid protective member 31, the upper cover 23 and the tray 22; wherein the hardness of the pressure plate 33 is greater than the hardness of the upper cover 23.

[0040] The second sealing member 25 may be colloid and / or foam. The second connecting member 24 may be, but not limited to, a bolt, etc. The material of the pressing plate 33 may be, but not limited to, a material with high hardness such as metal or alloy, such as aluminum alloy or steel.

[0041] The second sealing member 25 is provided between the upper cover 23 and the tray 22 to prevent liquids, impurities, etc. from entering the receiving space formed by the upper cover 23 and the tray 22, so as to avoid damaging the battery pack 21. When the connection member 24 is inserted into the second connection hole 240 to fasten the rigid protective member 31, the upper cover 23 and the tray 22, the second sealing member 25 is deformed due to its relatively soft material, which makes it impossible to fasten, and the pressure plate 33 has a relatively high strength. Therefore, the pressure plate 33 is provided on the side of the rigid protective member 31 away from the upper cover 23 to compensate for the deformation of the second sealing member 25 due to its relatively soft material, and to better enhance the strength of the fastener between the nut and the nut of the bolt, so that the pressure plate 33, the rigid protective member 31, the upper cover 23 and the tray 22 can be fastened.

[0042] The fasteners between the nut and the cap of the bolt are the pressure plate 33 , the rigid protective member 31 , the upper cover 23 , the second sealing member 25 and the tray 22 .

[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the pressing plate 33 includes a flat plate portion 331, a vertical plate portion 332 extending from the flat plate portion 331 away from the tray 22, and a connecting portion 333 connecting the flat plate portion 331 and the vertical plate portion 332, wherein the connecting portion 333 has an arc.

[0044] Compared to the structure in which the pressure plate 33 only has the flat plate portion 331, the pressure plate 33 includes a flat plate portion 331, a vertical plate portion 332 extending from the flat plate portion 331 in a direction away from the tray 22, and a connecting portion 333 connecting the flat plate portion 331 and the vertical plate portion 332, wherein the connecting portion 333 has an arc. Such a structure can better enhance the strength of the fastener between the nut and the nut of the bolt, thereby better fastening and connecting the pressure plate 33, the rigid protective member 31, the upper cover 23 and the tray 22.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.11 , Fig.10 for Figure 3 A top view of the structure in the middle. Fig.11 for Figure 3 Exploded view of the middle part of the structure.

[0046] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Fig.10 as well as Fig.11As shown, the battery protection structure 30 further includes a receiving member 35 , and the receiving member 35 is disposed on the pressing plate 33 or the battery protection structure 30 , and a rodent repellent 36 is disposed in the receiving member 35 .

[0047] The rat repellent 36 can be used to repel rats by smell or by other means such as eating.

[0048] Therefore, the rat repellent 36 can also be used to repel rats, so as to reduce or avoid the rats from gnawing on the battery 20 and the battery protection structure 30 .

[0049] The rodent repellent 36 may be, but is not limited to, chemical agents such as nitrate compounds, coumarin derivatives, inorganic arsenic compounds or anticoagulant rodenticides.

[0050] In some embodiments, Fig.11 As shown, the receiving member 35 includes a groove portion 351 and a cover plate 352 , the rodent repellent 36 is disposed in the groove portion 351 , the cover plate 352 is covered on the groove portion 351 , the groove portion 351 and the cover plate 352 are detachably connected, and a plurality of through holes H1 are disposed on the cover plate 352 .

[0051] The groove portion 351 is detachably connected to the cover plate 352 , so as to facilitate placement of the rodent repellent 36 . The cover plate 352 is provided with a plurality of through holes H1 , so as to allow the rodent repellent 36 to emit odor when the rodent repellent 36 is used to repel rodents by odor.

[0052] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0053] The above is an implementation method of the embodiment of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the embodiment of the present application. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present application.
