Exemplarily, each battery storage area 110 is provided with the same number of first brackets 20, and the first brackets 20 may be provided in the corresponding battery storage area 110 by welding or screwing.

[0047] The first bracket 20 can be used to support the battery pack 50. For example, the first bracket 20 is a long strip structure. The first brackets 20 in the same battery storage area 110 are arranged in several columns and rows, and two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row are staggered. Two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same column are spaced apart. When each battery pack 50 is arranged on the corresponding first bracket 20, the battery packs 50 in the same battery storage area 110 are arranged in several columns and rows, and two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row are staggered.

[0048] Exemplarily, the battery pack 50 is a convex battery pack 50, the bottom surface of the battery pack 50 is rectangular, the top surface of the battery pack 50 is rectangular, and the bottom surface area of ​​the battery pack 50 is greater than the top surface area. The bottom surface side of the battery pack 50 is arranged on the first bracket 20, and the bottom surface side of the two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row are arranged in an alternating manner. In one example, the first brackets 20 in the same column of the same battery storage area 110 are parallel to each other, and the first brackets 20 in the same row of the same battery storage area 110 are parallel to each other.

[0049] The first bracket 20 includes a first end and a second end, the first end of the first bracket 20 is opposite to the second end, the battery pack 50 includes a front end and a rear end, the front end of the battery pack 50 is opposite to the rear end, illustratively, during the installation of the battery pack 50, the battery pack 50 is placed on the first bracket 20, and the user applies a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50, so that the rear end of the battery pack 50 is pushed toward the first end along the second end of the first bracket 20 until the rear end of the battery pack 50 abuts against the first end of the first bracket 20, thereby achieving the installation and fixation of the battery pack 50.

[0050] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the bracket assembly is applied to the battery rack 10, the battery rack 10 includes a battery rack body 100, and the battery rack body 100 is provided with several layers of battery storage areas 110; the bracket assembly includes several first brackets 20; the first brackets 20 are used to support the battery pack 50; each first bracket 20 is distributed in each battery storage area 110, and each first bracket 20 in the same battery storage area 110 is arranged in several columns and several rows; two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row are staggered, so that two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row are staggered, and there is no need to modify the structure of the battery pack 50, which is more conducive to adapting to standard containers. The present application ensures that a battery pack 50 can be placed on each of the first brackets 20 by staggeredly arranging two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row and coordinating the battery pack 50 with the first brackets 20, and by staggered placement of the first brackets 20, one of the two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row is staggered with the other battery pack 50, thereby reducing the installation width of the battery pack 50, allowing a longer battery pack 50 to fit into a standard container, thereby improving the versatility of the standard container.

[0051] In one embodiment, Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the battery pack 50 includes a battery pack body 510 and a support plate 520. The battery pack body 510 is arranged on the support plate 520. The support plate 520 is provided with a first protrusion 522 protruding from the battery pack body 510. The first protrusions 522 of two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row are staggered.

[0052] The battery pack 50 can be divided into a battery pack body 510 and a support plate 520. The battery pack body 510 is disposed on the support plate 520. The panel area of ​​the support plate 520 is larger than the bottom area of ​​the battery pack body 510. The support plate 520 and the battery pack body 510 form a convex structure of the battery pack 50. It should be noted that a liquid cooling channel can be provided in the support plate 520, and the support plate 520 can also be used to cool and dissipate heat for the battery pack 50.

[0053] The support plate 520 is provided with a first protrusion 522, and the first protrusion 522 of the support plate 520 protrudes from the battery pack body 510. Exemplarily, during the installation of the battery pack 50, the support plate 520 of the battery pack 50 is placed on the first bracket 20, and the user applies a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50, so that the rear end of the battery pack 50 is pushed toward the first end along the second end of the first bracket 20 until the first protrusion 522 of the support plate 520 abuts against the first end of the first bracket 20, thereby achieving the installation of the battery pack 50.

[0054] By staggering the two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row, when the battery pack 50 is set on the first bracket 20, the first protrusion 522 of one battery pack 50 is staggered to the first protrusion 522 of the other battery pack 50 (that is, the bottom edge of the convex structure battery pack 50 is placed on the step of the other convex structure battery pack 50), so that the two battery packs 50 are staggered, the installation width of the battery pack 50 is reduced, and a longer battery pack 50 can be adapted to the standard container, thereby improving the versatility of the standard container. It should be noted that the staggered distance between the two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row is determined by the protruding size of the first protrusion 522 of the battery pack 50.

[0055] In one example, the protruding distance of the first protrusion 522 is greater than or equal to the staggered distance of two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row. The support plate 520 of the battery pack 50 is placed on the first bracket 20, and the first protrusion 522 of the support plate 520 abuts against the first end of the first bracket 20, so that the battery packs 50 in the two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row are staggered, that is, the first protrusion 522 of one battery pack 50 is staggered to the first protrusion 522 of another battery pack 50, so that two longer battery packs 50 can be placed in the two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row.

[0056] In one embodiment, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the support plate 520 is also provided with a second protrusion 526 protruding from the battery pack body 510. The second protrusion 526 of the support plate 520 protrudes from the battery pack body 510. The second protrusion 526 is connected to the first protrusion 522. Exemplarily, the support plate 520 is a rectangular structure, the first protrusion 522 is located at the first short side of the support plate 520, and the second protrusion 526 is located at the first long side of the support portion.

[0057] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first bracket 20 is cross-arranged with a first panel 210 and a second panel 220 ; the first panel 210 and the second panel 220 are respectively used to support two adjacent sides of the battery pack 50 .

[0058] The first bracket 20 may be a bracket made of metal. The first bracket 20 is provided with a first panel 210. The first panel 210 is a long strip panel. The first panel 210 can be used to support the second side of the battery pack 50. The first bracket 20 is also provided with a second panel 220 connected to the first panel 210. The second panel 220 can be used to support the first side of the battery pack 50. The first side of the battery pack 50 is adjacent to the second side. For example, the second panel 220 is connected to the first end of the first panel 210, and the second panel 220 is perpendicular to the first panel 210. In one example, the first panel 210 may be provided with a guide groove. The second side of the battery pack 50 is matched with the guide groove of the first panel 210, so that the second side of the battery pack 50 can be pushed and moved along the guide groove of the first panel 210. Exemplarily, in two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row, the second panel 220 of one first bracket 20 is parallel to the second panel 220 of the other second bracket.

[0059] By staggering two adjacent first brackets 20 in the same row, the second panel 220 of one first bracket 20 is staggered with the second panel 220 of another first bracket 20. During the installation of the battery pack 50, the second side of the battery pack 50 is placed on the first panel 210. The user applies a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50, so that the rear end of the battery pack 50 is pushed toward the first end along the second end of the first panel 210 until the first side of the battery pack 50 abuts against the second panel 220, thereby limiting the position and fixing the battery pack 50, thereby achieving the installation and setting of the battery pack 50 on the first bracket 20, so that two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row are staggered, so that a longer battery pack 50 can be adapted to a standard container, thereby improving the versatility of the standard container.

[0060] Exemplarily, the first side of the battery pack 50 is the first protrusion 522 of the support plate 520, and the second side of the battery pack 50 is the second protrusion 526 of the support plate 520. During the installation of the battery pack 50, the second protrusion 526 is abutted against the first panel 210, and the user applies a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50 so that the rear end of the battery pack 50 is pushed toward the first end along the second end of the first panel 210 until the first protrusion 522 abuts against the second panel 220, thereby limiting and fixing the battery pack 50, thereby achieving the installation and setting of the battery pack 50 on the first bracket 20, so that the second protrusions 526 of two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row are staggered, so that a longer battery pack 50 can be adapted to a standard container, thereby improving the versatility of the standard container.

[0061] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second panel 220 is provided with a clamping member 222 , and the clamping member 222 is used for clamping the battery pack 50 .

[0062] The clamping member 222 may be disposed on the second panel 220 by welding or screwing. In another example, the clamping member 222 and the second panel 220 are an integrally formed structure.

[0063] During the installation of the battery pack 50, the second side of the battery pack 50 is placed on the first panel 210, and the user applies a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50, so that the rear end of the battery pack 50 is pushed toward the first end along the second end of the first panel 210, and at the same time, the first side of the battery pack 50 is clamped on the clamping piece 222 of the second panel 220, so that the rear end of the battery pack 50 is limited and fixed on the second panel 220, thereby enhancing the installation firmness and convenience of the battery pack 50 and avoiding the rear end of the battery pack 50 from loosening.

[0064] For example, Fig.10 In the figure, the first side edge of the battery pack 50 (such as the first protrusion 522) is provided with a slot 524 corresponding to the clamping member 222; the first side edge of the battery pack 50 is clamped to the clamping member 222 of the second panel 220 through the slot 524 to limit and fix the first protrusion 522 on the second panel 220.

[0065] In one embodiment, the clamping member 222 includes a first clamping section 2222 and a second clamping section 2224; the second end of the first clamping section 2222 is connected to the first end of the second connecting section, and the second end of the second clamping section 2224 is arranged on the second panel 220; the first end size of the first clamping section 2222 is smaller than the second end size of the first clamping section 2222.

[0066] The first clamping section 2222 and the second clamping section 2224 are integrally formed structures, the first clamping section 2222 may be a cone-shaped structure, and the second clamping section 2224 may be a columnar structure. Exemplarily, the first clamping section 2222 is a cone-shaped structure, the second clamping section 2224 is a columnar structure, the first end size of the first clamping section 2222 is smaller than the second end size of the first clamping section 2222, the size of the card slot 524 on the first side of the battery pack 50 is larger than the first end size of the first clamping section 2222, and the first clamping section 2222 plays a guiding role, which facilitates the card slot 524 on the first side of the battery pack 50 to be plugged into the clamping member 222 of the second panel 220.

[0067] During the installation of the battery pack 50, the second side of the battery pack 50 is placed on the first panel 210, and the user applies a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50, so that the rear end of the battery pack 50 is pushed toward the first end along the second end of the first panel 210, and at the same time, the first side of the battery pack 50 is aligned with the first clamping section 2222 of the second panel 220, so that the clamping groove 524 of the first side of the battery pack 50 is inserted into the clamping piece 222 of the second panel 220, so as to limit and fix the first side of the battery pack 50 to the second panel 220, that is, the rear end of the battery pack 50 is limited and fixed to the second panel 220 of the first bracket 20, thereby enhancing the installation firmness and convenience of the battery pack 50.

[0068] In one embodiment, Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, the first bracket 20 is also provided with a third panel 230 and a fourth panel 240; the third panel 230, the fourth panel 240 and the first panel 210 are enclosed to form a limiting groove, and the limiting groove is used to guide the battery pack 50 to be pushed toward the second panel 220 so that the battery pack 50 is clamped on the clamping part 222 of the second panel 220.

[0069] The third panel 230 is a long strip panel, the fourth panel 240 is a long strip panel, the third panel 230 and the first panel 210 are an integrally formed structure, and the fourth panel 240 and the first panel 210 are an integrally formed structure. Exemplarily, the third panel 230 is perpendicular to the first panel 210, the fourth panel 240 is perpendicular to the first panel 210, and the third panel 230 is parallel to the fourth panel 240.

[0070] The third panel 230 , the fourth panel 240 and the first panel 210 are combined to form a limiting groove, and then the second side of the battery pack 50 is disposed in the limiting groove, and the second side of the battery pack 50 is limited by the limiting groove.

[0071] During the installation of the battery pack 50, the second side of the battery pack 50 is placed in the limiting groove, and the user applies a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50. The second side of the battery pack 50 is pushed along the limiting groove from the second end to the first end of the first panel 210, so that the card slot 524 on the first side of the battery pack 50 is aligned with the card connector 222 of the second panel 220, and then the card slot 524 on the first side of the battery pack 50 is carded to the card connector 222 of the second panel 220, so that the first side of the battery pack 50 is limited and fixed on the second panel 220, that is, the rear end of the battery pack 50 is limited and fixed on the second panel 220 of the first bracket 20, thereby enhancing the installation firmness and convenience of the battery pack 50.

[0072] In one embodiment, Fig.10As shown, the bracket assembly also includes a buffer member 30, which is disposed on the inner wall of the third panel 230, and the buffer member 30 is located between the third panel 230 and the battery pack 50; and / or, the buffer member 30 is disposed on the inner wall of the fourth panel 240, and the buffer member 30 is located between the fourth panel 240 and the battery pack 50.

[0073] The buffer member 30 may be, but is not limited to, a foam sheet.

[0074] For example, the buffer 30 can be set on the inner wall of the third panel 230 or the inner wall of the fourth panel 240 by bonding, and then after the second side of the battery pack 50 is placed in the limiting groove, the buffer 30 can buffer the second side of the battery pack 50 to prevent the user from applying a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50. When the second side of the battery pack 50 is pushed from the second end to the first end of the first panel 210 along the limiting groove, the third panel 230 or the fourth panel 240 directly squeezes or bumps the second side of the battery pack 50. In another example, the inner wall of the third panel 230 and the inner wall of the fourth panel 240 are respectively provided with the buffer 30, and then when the user applies a thrust to the front end of the battery pack 50 and the second side of the battery pack 50 is pushed from the second end to the first end of the first panel 210 along the limiting groove, the buffer 30 of the third panel 230 and the buffer 30 of the fourth panel 240 can simultaneously play a buffering and protective role on the second side of the battery pack 50.

[0075] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the first bracket 20 is further provided with a plurality of connection parts 250 for connecting to the battery rack body 100 , and each connection part 250 protrudes from the first panel 210 .

[0076] The connection part 250 and the first panel 210 are integrally formed. Exemplarily, the first bracket 20 is provided with two connection parts 250 , one connection part 250 is provided adjacent to the first end of the first bracket 20 , and the other connection part 250 is provided adjacent to the second end of the first bracket 20 .

[0077] For example, the connecting portion 250 is protrudingly provided on the first panel 210, the connecting portion 250 is provided with at least one first mounting hole, and the battery holder body 100 is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole, and then a screw can be passed through the first mounting hole of the connecting portion 250 and the second mounting hole of the battery holder body 100, and the connecting portion 250 can be locked on the battery holder body 100, thereby achieving the installation and locking of the first bracket 20 on the battery holder body 100, while avoiding interference with the battery pack 50 installed on the first bracket 20.

[0078] In one example, if Figure 3As shown, at least one connection portion 250 is disposed adjacent to the second panel 220 ; the first panel 210 , the second panel 220 and the connection portion 250 adjacent to the second panel 220 are enclosed to form an avoidance portion 260 ; the avoidance portion 260 is used to avoid the first brackets 20 in the same row and adjacent to each other.

[0079] The avoidance portion 260 is a notch-shaped structure. By arranging the connection portion 250 adjacent to the second panel 220 and keeping a certain distance between the connection portion 250 and the end of the first panel 210, a notch-shaped structure is formed between the first panel 210, the second panel 220 and the connection portion 250 adjacent to the second panel 220, that is, the first panel 210, the second panel 220 and the connection portion 250 adjacent to the second panel 220 are enclosed to form the avoidance portion 260, and then the avoidance portion 260 of the first bracket 20 can avoid another first bracket 20 adjacent to the same row, so that two first brackets 20 adjacent to the same row are staggered, thereby improving the compactness of the structure and avoiding interference with another first bracket 20 adjacent to the same row. By coordinating the battery pack 50 and the first bracket 20, it is ensured that the battery pack 50 can be placed on each of the first brackets 20, and by staggered placement of the first bracket 20, one battery pack 50 of two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row is staggered with the other battery pack 50, thereby reducing the installation width of the battery pack 50, allowing longer battery packs 50 to fit into standard containers, thereby improving the versatility of standard containers.

[0080] In one embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bracket assembly further includes a support block 40 ; a first end of the support block 40 is disposed on the battery rack body 100 , and a second end of the support block 40 is disposed on the first bracket 20 .

[0081] Among them, the support block 40 can be a support block 40 made of metal material, the first end of the support block 40 can be set on the battery rack body 100 by welding or screwing, and the second end of the support block 40 can be set on the first bracket 20 by welding or screwing.

[0082] Exemplarily, the support block 40 can be divided into a first support section and a second support section, the first support section and the second support section are an integrally formed structure, the first end of the support block 40 is located in the first support section, and the second end of the support block 40 is located in the second support section. Exemplarily, the first support section is perpendicular to the second support section, and the connection between the first support section and the second support section is an arc transition, thereby strengthening the strength of the support block 40, achieving a strengthening of the fixing effect on the first bracket 20, and preventing the first bracket 20 from being twisted.

[0083] In one embodiment, Figure 7 and Fig.11As shown, a battery rack 10 is also provided, including a battery rack main body 100 and a bracket assembly as described above; the battery rack main body 100 is provided with a plurality of bracket installation layers; two adjacent bracket installation layers are enclosed to form a battery storage area 110; a plurality of first brackets 20 are respectively provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the same bracket installation layer; the first bracket 20 located on the top surface of a bracket installation layer in the same battery storage area 110 is used for installing and setting the second side edge of the battery pack 50, and the first bracket 20 located on the bottom surface of another bracket installation layer in the same battery storage area 110 is used for installing and setting the third side edge of the battery pack 50.

In another example, the bracket installation layer at the bottom layer of the battery rack body 100 is only provided with a plurality of first brackets 20 on the top surface, and there is no need to provide a first bracket 20 on the corresponding bottom surface; the bracket installation layer at the top layer of the battery rack body 100 is only provided with a plurality of first brackets 20 on the bottom surface, and there is no need to provide a first bracket 20 on the corresponding top surface, thereby saving costs.

[0086] When installing the battery pack 50, when the battery pack 50 is pushed into the battery storage area 110, the first bracket 20 located on the top surface of one bracket installation layer in the same battery storage area 110 limits and fixes the second side of the battery pack 50, and the first bracket 20 located on the bottom surface of another bracket installation layer in the same battery storage area 110 limits and fixes the third side of the battery pack 50, so as to achieve a firm installation of the battery pack 50 in the battery storage area 110 and prevent the battery pack 50 from loosening and falling. In addition, when each battery pack 50 is arranged in a corresponding battery storage area 110, the battery packs 50 in the same battery storage area 110 are arranged in several columns and several rows, and two adjacent battery packs 50 in the same row are staggered, so that there is no need to modify the structure of the battery pack 50, which is more conducive to adapting to standard containers. It should be noted that the second side of the battery pack 50 is arranged opposite to the third side.

[0087] Exemplarily, the battery pack 50 includes a battery pack body and a support plate, the support plate is provided with a second protrusion and a third protrusion, the second protrusion is arranged opposite to the third protrusion, the second side of the battery pack 50 is the second protrusion of the support plate, and the third side of the battery pack 50 is the third protrusion of the support plate, and the second protrusion of the battery pack 50 is limited to the first bracket 20 located on the top surface of a bracket mounting layer in the same battery storage area 110, and the third protrusion of the battery pack 50 is limited to the first bracket 20 located on the bottom surface of another bracket mounting layer in the same battery storage area 110, thereby achieving a firm installation of each battery pack 50 in each layer of the battery storage area 110.
