That is, the handle assembly provided by the present application belongs to a part of the structure of the product shell and is installed on the outside of the product 7. The product 7 here can be a battery pack. Of course, it is not limited to this and can also be other types of products. That is to say, the handle assembly provided by the present application is not limited to energy storage products, but can also be used in other types of products;

[0041] The handle assembly includes: a side support member 1, a bottom support member 2 and a handle 4;

[0042] The side support member 1 is installed on the bottom supporting member 2, and the two enclose an installation space 3; a handle 4 is installed on at least one side support member 1; and the product 7 is installed in the installation space 3 and connected to at least one handle 4.

[0043] Based on the structure described above, it can be known that when an external force of lifting upward acts on the handle 4 on the side support member 1, the force is transmitted to the product 7 through the handle 4, driving the product 7 and the entire handle assembly to be lifted synchronously, that is, driving the entire product 7 to be lifted. It can be seen that the handle assembly provided by the present application can synchronously lift a relatively heavy product 7 such as a battery pack, reducing the load-bearing capacity of the shell, having low requirements for the shell, being easy to implement, greatly reducing material costs and design costs, and making the shell have a longer service life.
