[0030] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of the present application will be described in detail below. In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can be implemented without the need for some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is only to provide a better understanding of the present application by illustrating the examples of the present application.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a box body, which includes a water-cooled plate 10 and a frame 20 that are connected and arranged. Along a first direction X, the water-cooled plate 10 is arranged at the bottom of the frame 20 and defines an installation area 50 together with the frame 20. The surface of the frame 20 facing the installation area 50 has a supporting structure 40, and the supporting structure 40 includes a supporting portion 41 and a reinforcing portion 42. Along the first direction X, the height of the supporting portion 41 is greater than or equal to the height of the water-cooled plate 10. In a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the projection of the supporting portion 41 and the projection of the water-cooled plate 10 both fall within the projection range of the installation area 50, and the reinforcing portion 42 is connected to the angle between the supporting portion 41 and the frame 20.

[0032] In a specific implementation, the box body of the embodiment of the present application includes a water-cooled plate 10 and a frame 20 that are connected and arranged. Along the first direction X, the water-cooled plate 10 is arranged at the bottom of the frame 20 and defines an installation area 50 together with the frame 20. The battery cell assembly 200 is arranged inside the installation area 50 for installation. The surface of the frame 20 facing the installation area 50 has a support structure 40. The support structure 40 includes a support portion 41 and a reinforcement portion 42. In a plane perpendicular to the first direction X, the projection of the support portion 41 and the projection of the water-cooled plate 10 both fall within the projection range of the installation area 50. When the battery cell assembly 200 is installed inside the installation area 50, it can be supported by the support portion 41 and the water-cooled plate 10, so that the battery cell assembly 200 can be stably The battery pack 200 is fixedly installed, and the height of the support part 41 is greater than or equal to the height of the water-cooled plate 10. Such an arrangement ensures that the battery cell assembly 200 will be supported by the support part 41 during installation. The support part 41 can bear a part of the weight of the battery cell assembly 200, avoiding that all the weight of the battery cell assembly 200 is concentrated on the water-cooled plate 10. During the long-term operation of the battery pack, the risk of cracking of the water-cooled plate 10 is reduced, and the fatigue life of the water-cooled plate 10 is extended. Moreover, the reinforcement part 42 of the support structure 40 is connected to the angle between the support part 41 and the frame 20, which increases the connection stability of the support part 41, ensures the installation stability of the battery cell assembly 200 installed in the installation area 50, and ensures the overall stability of the box body 100.

[0033] Specifically, along the second direction Y, the length of the support portion 41 is greater than or equal to one tenth of the overall length of the battery cell assembly 200 , so that it can be ensured that the support portion 41 has a sufficiently stable supporting effect on the battery cell assembly 200 .

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the box body of an embodiment of the present application, wherein the box body 100 also includes a support beam assembly 30, the support beam assembly 30 is arranged in the installation area 50 and connected to the inner surface of the frame 20, and the surface of the support beam assembly 30 facing the frame 20 is provided with a support structure 40, and the reinforcement portion 42 of the support structure 40 is connected to the angle between the support portion 41 and the support beam assembly 30.

[0035] During specific implementation, the support beam assembly 30 is arranged in the installation area 50 and connected to the frame 20, so as to support the frame 20 and improve the strength of the box 100, and the support beam assembly 30 can divide the installation area 50 into multiple blocks, so that the volume of the battery cell assembly 200 installed in each installation area 50 is smaller, and the support beam assembly 30 also has a support structure 40. The support structure 40 of the support beam assembly 30 and the support structure 40 of the corresponding frame 20 can simultaneously support the smaller battery cell assembly 200, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the battery cell assembly 200 installed in the installation area 50 and ensuring the overall stability of the box 100.

[0036] Specifically, the frame 20 and the support beam assembly 30 are made of high-strength aluminum profile 6061, both of which are formed by aluminum extrusion and have a hollow structure inside; the water-cooling plate 10 is made of aluminum alloy 3003 core material, the solder layer is 4 series alloy, and the sacrificial layer is 7 series aluminum alloy.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a box body of an embodiment of the present application, wherein the support beam assembly 30 includes at least one transverse beam 31 extending along a second direction Y and at least one longitudinal beam 32 extending along a third direction Z, the extension length of the longitudinal beam 32 is greater than the extension length of the transverse beam 31, and the support structure 40 is connected to the two side surfaces of the longitudinal beam 32 facing the installation area 50.

In addition, the reinforcing portion 42, the frame 20 and the support portion 41 together form an internal hollow frame structure with a lighter weight. While ensuring the connection strength between the frame 20 and the support portion 41, the overall weight of the box can be reduced.

[0043] In a specific implementation, the battery cell assembly 200 is connected to the support portion 41 by means of structural adhesive, and a preset gap is set between the connecting section 421 near the installation area 50 and the installation area 50. The amount of the overflowed adhesive can be judged according to the height of the structural adhesive overflowing into the preset gap during the bonding process, thereby avoiding leakage of the structural adhesive. Moreover, the overflowed structural adhesive is filled in the preset gap, and the connecting section 421 and the side wall of the battery cell assembly 200 can be bonded, thereby increasing the installation stability of the battery cell assembly 200 in the installation area 50.
