A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as those commonly understood by technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs; the terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application; the terms "including" and "having" in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned figure descriptions and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0041] Reference to "embodiment" in this application means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0042] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, the term "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, indicating that there may be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0043] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a preferred battery pack of the embodiment of the utility model has a first direction Y, the battery pack includes a box body 1, a battery pack 2 and a protective structure 3; the battery pack 2 is arranged in the box body 1; the liquid cooling structure 4 is arranged in the box body 1 and connected to the battery pack 2; the protective structure 3 is arranged in the box body 1. The protective structure 3 includes an energy absorbing member 31 and a reinforcing member 32, the energy absorbing member 31 includes a main body 311, and a first installation cavity 3111 is opened inside the main body 311. Along the first direction Y, the first installation cavity 3111 is located between the liquid cooling structure 4 and the inner wall of the box body 1, and the reinforcing member 32 is arranged in the first installation cavity 3111.

[0044] Based on this technical solution, a first installation cavity 3111 located between the liquid cooling structure 4 and the inner wall of the box body 1 is opened inside the main body 311, and along the first direction Y, the side wall of the first installation cavity 3111 can be located between the liquid cooling structure 4 and the inner wall of the box body 1, so that when the box body 1 is subjected to external impact or pressure along the first direction, the external impact force is first transmitted to the energy absorbing member 31 and then transmitted to the liquid cooling structure 4 through the energy absorbing member 31. In this process, the energy absorbing member 31 can absorb and buffer the impact force to reduce the impact force transmitted from the inner wall of the box body 1 to the liquid cooling structure 4, so that the energy absorbing member 31 can protect the liquid cooling structure 4 to avoid damage to the liquid cooling structure 4, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery pack.

[0045] By installing the reinforcement member 32 in the first installation cavity 3111 of the energy absorbing member 31, when the energy absorbing member 31 is subjected to external impact or pressure, the energy absorbing member 31 will first contact the reinforcement member 32, so that the reinforcement member 32 can guide the distribution of force, so that the impact force will not be concentrated on one point of the energy absorbing member 31, but will be dispersed to a larger area around the reinforcement member 32, thereby reducing the destructive effect of the impact force on the overall structure of the energy absorbing member 31; at the same time, when the energy absorbing member 31 is impacted and elastically deformed, the first installation cavity 3111 in the energy absorbing member 31 will also absorb energy through compression and deformation, so that the energy absorbing member 31 can better play a buffering and energy absorbing role; at the same time, when the impact force acts on the reinforcement member 32, the reinforcement member 32 will also gradually deform, and the deformation process of the reinforcement member 32 requires a certain amount of time, so that the reinforcement member 32 can prolong the action time of the impact force in the energy absorbing member 31, thereby reducing the instantaneous damage of the impact force to the energy absorbing member 31, so that the energy absorbing member 31 has more time to adapt to and resist the impact force. Therefore, the utility model sets a first installation cavity 3111 in the energy absorbing member 31 and installs the reinforcement member 32 in the first installation cavity 3111, so that the reinforcement member 32 can disperse the impact force and prolong the impact time of the energy absorbing member 31, so that the reinforcement member 32 can further enhance the buffering energy absorption performance of the energy absorbing member 31, and then the energy absorbing member 31 can further reduce the impact force transmitted from the inner wall of the box body 1 to the liquid cooling structure 4, which helps the energy absorbing member 31 to better protect the liquid cooling structure 4 and further improve the safety performance of the battery pack.

[0046] Optionally, the energy absorbing member 31 may be made of any material that can absorb and buffer energy, such as foam, sponge, rubber, silicone, thermoplastic plastic, etc., and is not limited here.

[0054] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 The liquid cooling structure 4 provided in the embodiment of the utility model includes a current collector 41 and a liquid cooling plate 42. Along the first direction Y, the current collector 41 is located between the battery cell 21 and the inner wall of the box body 1; the liquid cooling plate 42 is connected to the current collector 41 and to the side of the battery cell 21. The heat dissipation treatment of the battery cell 21 by the liquid cooling plate 42 can enable the battery pack 2 to operate in a safe temperature environment; the current collector 41 can distribute the cooling liquid to the liquid cooling plate 42 and collect the cooling liquid from the liquid cooling plate 42, so that the cooling liquid flow path can be planned to ensure the heat dissipation of the battery cell 21 by the liquid cooling plate 42. Along the first direction Y, the current collector 41 is arranged between the battery cell 21 and the inner wall of the box body 1, and the protective structure 3 can protect the current collector 41, so that when the box body 1 is impacted by the outside along the first direction Y, the impact force transmitted from the inner wall of the box body 1 to the current collector 41 can be reduced, thereby avoiding damage to the current collector 41.

[0055] There are multiple liquid cooling plates 42, and an accommodation space 421 for accommodating the battery pack 2 is formed between two adjacent liquid cooling plates 42. The battery pack 2 is accommodated in the accommodation space 421, so that the two liquid cooling plates 42 forming the accommodation space 421 can respectively contact the two sides of the battery cell 21 of the battery pack 2, thereby increasing the contact area between the battery cell 21 and the liquid cooling structure 4, which helps to further improve the cooling effect of the liquid cooling structure 4 on the battery cell 21.

[0056] The battery pack also has a second direction X intersecting with the first direction Y, the thickness direction of the liquid cooling plate 42 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the box body 1, and the energy absorbing member 31 extends along the second direction X. By making the thickness direction of the liquid cooling plate 42 perpendicular to the thickness direction of the box body 1, the liquid cooling plate 42 can be installed in the box body 1 in a side manner, so that the liquid cooling plate 42 can contact the side surface of the battery cell 21 with a larger area, thereby increasing the contact area between the liquid cooling plate 42 and the battery cell 21, and improving the cooling efficiency of the liquid cooling structure 4 for the battery cell 21.

[0057] The battery pack also has a third direction Z, and the first direction Y, the second direction X and the third direction Z intersect each other.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first installation cavity 3111 is located between the inner wall of the frame 11 and the liquid cooling structure 4, and the protective structure 3 is used to provide side protection for the liquid cooling structure 4, that is, side protection along the first direction Y.

[0060] In some other embodiments, the first installation cavity 3111 may also be located between the inner wall of the base plate 12 and the liquid cooling structure 4, and the protective structure 3 is used to provide bottom protection for the liquid cooling structure 4; or the first installation cavity 3111 is located between the inner wall of the frame 11 and the liquid cooling structure 4 and between the inner wall of the base plate 12 and the liquid cooling structure 4, and the protective structure 3 is used to provide side protection and bottom protection for the liquid cooling structure 4.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the protective structures 3 is two, and the two protective structures 3 are respectively disposed between the first side plate 112 and the battery pack 2 and between the second side plate 114 and the battery pack 2 .

[0062] In some other embodiments, the protection structure 3 may also be disposed between the first end plate 111 and the battery pack 2 and / or between the second end plate 113 and the battery pack 2 .

[0063] See also Figure 4-Figure 11The main body 311 has a second installation cavity 3112 for accommodating the current collector 41, and the main body 311 has a connecting port 3113 connected to the second installation cavity 3112. The liquid cooling plate 42 is connected to the current collector 41 through the connecting port 3113. Along the first direction Y, the second installation cavity 3112 is located between the battery pack 2 and the first installation cavity 3111. Placing the current collector 41 in the second installation cavity 3112 enables the main body 311 to wrap the current collector 41, so that the energy absorbing member 31 can provide a more comprehensive shockproof buffer and protection for the current collector 41 when the box body 1 is subjected to external impact, which helps to further avoid damage to the current collector 41. At the same time, by arranging the current collector 41 in the energy absorbing member 31, it can also help to reduce the space occupied by the current collector 41 and the energy absorbing member 31 in the box body 1, and effectively utilize the limited space in the box body 1.

[0064] In this embodiment, openings 3115 communicating with the second installation cavity 3112 are formed at two ends of the energy absorbing member 31 in the second direction X, and the current collecting member 41 is communicated with the coolant delivery mechanism through the openings 3115 .

In the second direction X, two adjacent current collecting parts 41 are connected through the connecting pipe 43; the two ends of the liquid cooling plate 42 in the first direction Y are respectively connected to the two current collecting parts 41.

[0067] In some other embodiments, one current collecting component 41 may be used to connect multiple liquid cooling plates 42, or two current collecting components 41 may be used to connect multiple liquid cooling plates 42, or three current collecting components 41 may be used to connect multiple liquid cooling plates 42, and any other configuration that can connect the current collecting component 41 and multiple liquid cooling plates 42 is not limited here.

[0069] In this embodiment, there are multiple communication ports 3113 , which are sequentially arranged on the main body 311 along the second direction X, and the multiple liquid cooling plates 42 correspond to the multiple communication ports 3113 .

[0070] The reinforcement member extends along the second direction X, and the reinforcement member 32 is provided with a through hole 321 penetrating along the first direction Y. When the box body 1 is subjected to external impact or pressure, the energy absorbing member 31 will produce elastic deformation and generate material flow to play a buffering and energy absorbing role. By providing the through hole 321 in the reinforcement member 32, a flow space can be provided for the material flow of the energy absorbing member 31 through the through hole 321, thereby helping to enhance the buffering and energy absorbing performance of the energy absorbing member 31.

[0071] In this embodiment, there are multiple through holes 321, and the multiple through holes 321 are distributed along the second direction X. The multiple through holes 321 can not only provide more flow space for the material flow of the energy absorbing member 31, which helps to further enhance the buffering and energy absorbing performance of the energy absorbing member 31, but also can better guide the distribution of force in the energy absorbing member 31 and disperse the impact force of the reinforcement member 32 to a larger area, which helps to further enhance the buffering and energy absorbing performance of the energy absorbing member 31.

[0072] The energy absorbing member 31 further includes a connecting portion 312 disposed in the first installation cavity 3111. At least one end of the connecting portion 312 is connected to the inner wall of the first installation cavity 3111 along the first direction Y, and at least a portion of the connecting portion 312 is disposed in the through hole 321. By disposing the connecting portion 312 in the first installation cavity 3111, the connecting portion 312 can more effectively disperse the impact force when the energy absorbing member 31 is impacted by the outside world, which helps to improve the overall buffering and energy absorption performance of the energy absorbing member 31.

[0073] Preferably, the shape of the connecting portion 312 matches the shape of the through hole 321 .

[0074] In this embodiment, along the first direction Y, two ends of the connecting portion 312 are respectively connected to two inner walls of the first installation cavity 3111 .

The groove 3114 can be used to insert the end of the battery pack 2 into the groove 3114 so that the groove 3114 can limit the battery pack 2, thereby facilitating the arrangement and positioning of the battery cells 21 in the accommodating space 421, and the groove 3114 can also be used to partially wrap the battery cells 21 located at the end of the battery pack 2 so that the energy absorbing member 31 can protect the battery cells 21, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery pack.

[0076] In this embodiment, two opposite ends of the groove 3114 in the third direction Z are open.

[0077] In some other embodiments, the groove 3114 may be open at any end in the third direction Z or have side walls at both ends in the third direction Z, which is not limited here.
