[0042] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 3 A battery swap adapter frame 100 according to an embodiment of the utility model is described. The battery swap adapter frame 100 is used to install a battery pack. The battery swap adapter frame 100 is suitable for being assembled on a body structure of a vehicle, for example: the battery swap adapter frame 100 is assembled on a chassis.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, the battery exchange adapter frame 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes: a frame body 1, the frame body 1 is used to install a battery pack; a plurality of connecting brackets 2, the plurality of connecting brackets 2 are all fixedly mounted on the frame body 1, and the plurality of connecting brackets 2 are all suitable for connecting to a vehicle body chassis; a mounting portion 3, the mounting portion 3 is fixedly mounted on the frame body 1, and the mounting portion 3 is used to install a connector; a reinforcing bracket 4, the reinforcing bracket 4 is fixedly mounted on the mounting portion 3, and along the length direction of the battery exchange adapter frame 100, the position of the reinforcing bracket 4 relative to the mounting portion 3 is adjustable, and the reinforcing bracket 4 is also suitable for connecting to a vehicle body chassis.

[0044] Among them, the battery swap adapter frame 100 includes a frame body 1 and multiple connecting brackets 2. The frame body 1 is the main part of the battery swap adapter frame 100. The frame body 1 can be used to install the battery pack. The battery pack can be assembled with the frame body 1 from the bottom of the battery swap adapter frame 100. Compared with the traditional pull-out method of replacing the battery pack, the bottom assembly saves the operating space for replacing the battery pack, which is conducive to the rapid replacement of the battery pack. The connecting bracket 2 may be provided with 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or more. This application takes the example of 8 connecting brackets 2 as an example for explanation. Multiple connecting brackets 2 are fixed to the frame body 1. The connecting bracket 2 and the frame body 1 can be connected by screw connection. The connecting bracket 2 and the frame body 1 can also be connected by snap connection. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The connecting bracket 2 and the frame body 1 can also be connected by other means, as long as multiple connecting brackets 2 are fixed to the frame body 1. This utility model takes the example of the connecting bracket 2 and the frame body 1 being connected by screw connection. The connecting bracket 2 and the frame body 1 are connected by screw connection, which is conducive to improving the connection reliability between the connecting bracket 2 and the frame body 1, reducing the risk of separation between the connecting bracket 2 and the frame body 1, and thus improving the structural stability of the battery exchange adapter frame 100. Multiple connecting brackets 2 can be connected to the vehicle chassis. The connecting bracket 2 and the vehicle chassis can also be connected by screw connection, which is conducive to improving the connection reliability between the battery exchange adapter frame 100 and the vehicle chassis. Specifically, the connecting bracket 2 may have fixing holes. By adjusting the spacing and positions of the fixing holes, it is beneficial to the adaptability of the battery swap adapter frame 100 to vehicle chassis of different specifications, making it easier to assemble the battery swap adapter frame 100 on different vehicles.

[0045] The battery swap adapter frame 100 also includes a mounting portion 3 and a reinforcing bracket 4. The mounting portion 3 is fixed to the frame body 1. The mounting portion 3 can be fixed to the frame body 1 by plug welding. The mounting portion 3 can also be fixedly connected to the frame body 1 by bolts, but the present application is not limited thereto. The mounting portion 3 can also be fixed to the frame body 1 by other means, as long as the mounting portion 3 is fixed to the frame body 1. The mounting portion 3 is used to install connectors. The connectors can be direct-insert connectors, surface-mount connectors, etc. The connectors are installed through the mounting portion 3, which reduces the risk of poor assembly accuracy due to large cumulative assembly tolerances, and improves the installation accuracy of the connectors. The reinforcing bracket 4 is fixed to the mounting portion 3, and the reinforcing bracket 4 can also be connected to the mounting portion 3 by bolts, which improves the connection reliability between the battery swap adapter frame 100 and the vehicle chassis, reduces the risk of the battery swap adapter frame 100 falling off from the vehicle chassis, and thus improves the driving safety of the vehicle. Along the length direction of the battery swap adapter frame 100, the position of the reinforcing bracket 4 relative to the mounting part 3 is adjustable, and the reinforcing bracket 4 is also suitable for connection with the vehicle body chassis, which is conducive to assembling the reinforcing bracket 4 in a suitable position and facilitating the reinforcing bracket 4 to adapt to vehicle body chassis of different specifications, thereby further improving the adaptability of the battery swap adapter frame 100.

[0046] Specifically, the battery pack is mounted at the lower end of the frame body 1, and a plurality of connection brackets 2 are screwed to the upper surface of the frame body 1. The connection brackets 2 can be composed of 8mm plates bent into an "L"-shaped structural member and then welded with two 8mm reinforcements (the reinforcements are plate-like structures), thereby improving the structural strength of the connection bracket 2, improving the connection reliability between the connection bracket 2 and the frame body 1, and reducing the risk of separation between the connection bracket 2 and the frame body 1, thereby improving the structural stability of the battery exchange adapter frame 100. The plurality of connection brackets 2 are connected to the vehicle chassis, thereby enabling the battery pack to be assembled on the vehicle chassis through the battery exchange adapter frame 100. Compared with the traditional pull-out method of replacing the battery pack, the bottom assembly saves the operating space for replacing the battery pack, which is conducive to the rapid replacement of the battery pack. The mounting portion 3 can be fixed to the frame body 1 by plug welding. The mounting portion 3 is used to install the connector. The connector is installed through the mounting portion 3, thereby reducing the risk of large tolerance accumulation caused by the battery pack and the quick-change connector being assembled on different structural parts, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the connector. The reinforcing bracket 4 can be connected to the mounting portion 3 by bolts, and the reinforcing bracket 4 is also suitable for connection with the vehicle chassis, which improves the connection reliability between the battery swap adapter frame 100 and the vehicle chassis, reduces the risk of the battery swap adapter frame 100 falling off the vehicle chassis, and thus improves the driving safety of the vehicle. When the battery swap adapter frame 100 is installed on the vehicle chassis, the position of the reinforcing bracket 4 is adjusted to the target position along the length direction of the battery swap adapter frame 100, which is conducive to assembling the reinforcing bracket 4 in a suitable position, making it easier for the reinforcing bracket 4 to adapt to vehicle chassis of different specifications, and further improving the adaptability of the battery swap adapter frame 100.

[0047] Thus, by fixing the mounting portion 3 to the frame body 1, the installation accuracy of the connector is improved. The battery swap adapter frame 100 is arranged between the vehicle chassis and the battery pack, so that the battery pack can be assembled from the bottom of the battery swap adapter frame 100, saving the operating space for replacing the battery pack of the vehicle. In addition, the battery swap adapter frame 100 can be adapted to more vehicle models, which is conducive to adapting a battery pack to multiple vehicle models and reducing development costs.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the mounting portion 3 has a first mounting hole, the reinforcing bracket 4 has a second mounting hole, and at least one of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole is constructed as a first strip hole, and the first strip hole extends along the length direction of the battery exchange adapter frame 100.

[0049] Among them, the mounting portion 3 may have a first mounting hole, and the reinforcing bracket 4 may have a second mounting hole. The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are correspondingly arranged. Specifically, bolts may pass through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, and the reinforcing bracket 4 may be assembled on the mounting portion 3 by bolts. At least one of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole is configured as a first strip hole, for example: the first mounting hole is configured as a first strip hole or the second mounting hole is configured as a first strip hole, or both the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are configured as first strip holes. This application takes the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole as examples for explanation. The first strip hole extends along the length direction of the battery swap adapter frame 100. Such an arrangement facilitates the reinforcing bracket 4 to be installed on or removed from the mounting portion 3, and is conducive to the reinforcing bracket 4 being adjustable along the length direction of the battery swap adapter frame 100, and is further conducive to the reinforcing bracket 4 being adaptable to vehicle chassis of different specifications, further improving the adaptability of the battery swap adapter frame 100 to different vehicles.

[0051] Among them, the reinforcing bracket 4 may include a first bracket and a second bracket 43, both of which may be bent from a 2 mm plate, thereby reducing the risk of increased cost of the battery swap adapter frame 100 due to excessively thick plates, and also reducing the risk of cracking of the first bracket and the second bracket 43 due to poor structural strength caused by too thin plates. The first bracket is connected to the mounting portion 3, the second bracket 43 is connected to the first bracket, and the second bracket 43 is assembled on the mounting portion 3 through the first bracket. Along the length direction of the battery swap adapter frame 100, the position of the second bracket 43 relative to the first bracket is adjustable, and the second bracket 43 is suitable for connection with the vehicle chassis, which is conducive to the second bracket 43 being able to adapt to vehicle chassis of different length specifications, and then to the reinforcing bracket 4 being able to further adapt to vehicle chassis of different specifications, further improving the adaptability of the battery swap adapter frame 100 to different vehicles.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the first bracket has a third mounting hole 41, the second bracket 43 has a fourth mounting hole, and at least one of the third mounting hole 41 and the fourth mounting hole is constructed as a second strip hole, and the second strip hole extends along the length direction of the battery exchange adapter frame 100.

[0053] Among them, the first bracket may have a third mounting hole 41, and the second bracket 43 may have a fourth mounting hole. The third mounting hole 41 and the fourth mounting hole are correspondingly arranged. Specifically, the bolts can be passed through the third mounting hole 41 and the fourth mounting hole, and the second bracket 43 can be assembled on the first bracket by the bolts. At least one of the third mounting hole 41 and the fourth mounting hole is configured as a second strip hole, for example: the third mounting hole 41 is configured as a second strip hole or the fourth mounting hole is configured as a second strip hole, or the third mounting hole 41 and the fourth mounting hole are both configured as second strip holes. This application takes one of the third mounting hole 41 and the fourth mounting hole as an example for explanation. The second strip hole extends along the length direction of the battery exchange adapter frame 100. Such a setting is conducive to the second bracket 43 being installed on or removed from the first bracket, and is conducive to the second bracket 43 being adjustable along the length direction of the battery exchange adapter frame 100, and is conducive to the second bracket 43 being able to adapt to vehicle chassis of different specifications, further improving the adaptability of the battery exchange adapter frame 100 to different vehicles.

There may be multiple connecting beams 13, for example, there may be 3, 4 or 5 connecting beams 13, but the present application is not limited thereto, and there may be more connecting beams 13, as long as multiple connecting beams 13 are respectively connected to the first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12, and the connecting beam 13 may be welded to the first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12, for example, the connecting beam 13 may be welded to the first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 by plug welding, which is conducive to forming a stable frame structure, and multiple connecting beams 13 may all be subjected to force, reducing the risk of cracking of the battery swap adapter frame 100 caused by stress concentration due to uneven force on the connecting beams 13, thereby improving the structural stability of the battery swap adapter frame 100. The first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 can both be bent from 2 mm plate materials, and the connecting cross beam 13 can be bent from 3 mm plate materials to form a "J"-shaped beam, thereby reducing the risk of increased cost of the battery swap adapter frame 100 due to excessively thick plate materials, and also reducing the risk of poor structural strength due to excessively thin plate materials, thereby causing the first longitudinal beam 11, the second longitudinal beam 12 and the connecting cross beam 13 to bend or even crack under stress.

[0064] The first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 are opposite and spaced apart along the width direction of the battery exchange adapter frame 100. The first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 are both provided with a mounting structure 14 for mounting the battery pack. The mounting structure 14 can be a floating nut, a double-ear nut, etc. This application takes the mounting structure 14 as an example of a floating nut. The mounting structure 14 is adjustable in at least one of the width direction, length direction, and height direction of the battery exchange adapter frame 100. For example, the mounting structure 14 is adjustable in at least one of the width direction, length direction, and height direction of the battery exchange adapter frame 100. The position of the mounting structure 14 in one direction is adjustable, or the position of the mounting structure 14 in two directions of the width direction, length direction, and height direction of the battery swap adapter frame 100 is adjustable, or the position of the mounting structure 14 in three directions of the width direction, length direction, and height direction of the battery swap adapter frame 100 is adjustable. This application uses the example that the position of the mounting structure 14 in three directions of the width direction, length direction, and height direction of the battery swap adapter frame 100 is adjustable to improve the adaptability of the first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 to battery packs of different sizes. It should be noted that the floating nut can be fastened to the corresponding first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 by screws to achieve the effect of quick replacement of the floating nut, which is conducive to the convenience of use of the battery swap adapter frame 100 throughout its life cycle.

[0065] Furthermore, the frame body 1 may also include a frame reinforcement beam 16, which is connected to the ends of the first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 on the same side and is formed by bending a 4 mm plate to play a connecting and reinforcing role.

[0066] The first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 may further include multiple support plates, multiple battery pack mounting point reinforcement plates, multiple body connection reinforcement plates, and multiple connecting beam connection plates. The thickness of the support plates may be 2 mm, the thickness of the battery pack mounting point reinforcement plates may be 1 mm, the thickness of the body connection reinforcement plates may be 5 mm, and the thickness of the connecting beam connection plates may be 3 mm. The support plates, battery pack mounting point reinforcement plates, body connection reinforcement plates, and connecting beam connection plates may all be installed on the corresponding first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 by welding.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the first longitudinal beam 11 and / or the second longitudinal beam 12 are provided with a positioning sleeve 15, and the positioning sleeve 15 is suitable for being assembled with the positioning pin of the battery pack.

[0068] Among them, the positioning sleeve 15 can be assembled with the positioning pin of the battery pack. The first longitudinal beam 11 or the second longitudinal beam 12 is provided with a positioning sleeve 15, or the first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 are both provided with a positioning sleeve 15. This application takes the first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 as an example for explanation. The first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 are both provided with a positioning sleeve 15, which is beneficial to improve the positioning reliability of the battery pack. Specifically, the positioning pin of the battery pack is first assembled in the positioning sleeve 15, which is beneficial to positioning the battery pack and achieving the effect of precise battery replacement. Then adjust the floating nut to adapt to the corresponding battery pack, and then assemble the battery pack on the first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12 through the floating nut. The battery swap adapter frame 100 and the battery pack can be connected with split bolts to achieve the effect of assembling the battery pack on the battery swap adapter frame 100 or removing it from the battery swap adapter frame 100, thereby achieving the replaceability of the battery pack.

[0069] It should be noted that the battery swap adapter frame 100 can be welded as a whole by plug welding, which can improve the welding strength and aesthetics of the battery swap adapter frame 100, further improve the structural stability of the battery swap adapter frame 100, and is also beneficial to the assembly accuracy of the plug-in parts. However, the manufacturing process of the battery swap adapter frame 100 is not limited to sheet metal and welding, and the welding method is not limited to plug welding. Other welding methods are also within the protection scope of this application.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the floating nut may include a mounting frame 5 and a nut 6. The mounting frame 5 is fixedly mounted on the corresponding first longitudinal beam 11 and the second longitudinal beam 12. The mounting frame 5 defines an installation space. The nut 6 is installed in the installation space and extends out of the mounting frame 5. The nut 6 is adjustable along the width, length, and height directions of the battery exchange adapter frame 100 in the installation space. After the nut 6 is assembled with the battery pack, the nut 6 and the bolt are connected, and the locking nut 6 fixes the nut 6 in the installation space.

[0071] The vehicle according to the embodiment of the utility model includes the battery swap adapter frame 100 of the above embodiment. By fixing the mounting portion 3 to the frame body 1, the installation accuracy of the connector is improved. The battery swap adapter frame 100 is arranged between the vehicle chassis and the battery pack, so that the battery pack can be assembled from the bottom of the battery swap adapter frame 100, saving the operating space for replacing the battery pack in the vehicle. Moreover, the battery swap adapter frame 100 can be adapted to more vehicle models, which is beneficial for one battery pack to adapt to multiple vehicle models and reduce development costs.
