DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a foldable battery box provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a foldable battery box without a cover provided in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the foldable battery box 10 includes a bottom plate 101 and a side plate 102. The circumferential side of the bottom plate 101 bulges upward to form a bulge 111. Specifically, the bulge 111 is bent upward from the edge of the bottom plate 101 and is arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate 101. The bulge 111 can be formed integrally with the bottom plate 101, or the bulge 111 can be independently arranged from the bottom plate 101 and arranged on the circumferential side of the bottom plate 101 by welding, bonding, or other processes.

[0028] The side panels 102 are arranged on the peripheral side of the bottom panel 101. The side panels 102 and the protrusions 111 are hinged, that is, the side panels 102 and the protrusions 111 are rotatably connected, so that the side panels 102 can be rotated relative to the bottom panel 101 to form a folded state.

[0029] In this embodiment, the side panel 102 of the foldable battery box 10 can be rotated relative to the bottom panel 101 to form a foldable state. When the foldable battery box 10 is in a transport state or an idle state, it can be folded, thereby reducing the volume of the foldable battery box 10 and facilitating transport and storage.

[0030] Optionally, the foldable battery box 10 includes a first hinge 103, and the side panel 102 and the raised portion 111 are hingedly connected via the first hinge 103. The raised portion 111 is arranged around the outer side of the side panel 102 to block the outer side of the side panel 102, and the side panel 102 rotates relative to the inner side of the bottom panel 101 to form a folded state.

[0031] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the A area in the middle. Figure 4 is a partial structural schematic diagram of a side panel of a foldable battery box provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first hinge 103 includes a first cylinder 131 and a second cylinder 132. The first cylinder 131 is arranged on the side panel 102, and the first cylinder 131 is a through structure. The first cylinder 131 is formed by bending from the bottom edge of the side panel 102, and the first cylinder 131 is arranged on the inner side of the side panel 102 facing away from the raised portion 111. The first cylinder 131 can be integrally formed with the side panel 102, or the first cylinder 131 can be independently arranged with the side panel 102, and arranged by bonding, welding, etc.

[0032] The second cylinder 132 is arranged on the protruding portion 111. Specifically, a through hole 112 is arranged on the protruding portion 111, and the second cylinder 132 is arranged on the through hole 112 and is arranged with an interference fit with the through hole 112. During assembly, the second cylinder 132 is passed through the first cylinder 131. It can be understood that the outer diameter of the second cylinder 132 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first cylinder 131, or the outer diameter of the second cylinder 132 is equal to the inner diameter of the first cylinder 131, so that the first cylinder 131 can rotate relative to the second cylinder 132, thereby driving the side plate 102 to rotate relative to the bottom plate 101.

[0033] Optionally, the foldable battery box 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, that is, the bottom plate 101 is square, and the side plates 102 are arranged around the bottom plate 101. The first hinge 103 is also arranged around the bottom plate 101, that is, first cylinders 131 are arranged at both ends of the bottom of each side plate 102, and second cylinders 132 are also arranged around the bottom plate 101 to cooperate with the first cylinders 131. The arrangement directions of the first cylinders 131 of two adjacent side plates 102 are perpendicular to each other, and the first cylinders 131 of two adjacent side plates 102 are arranged in an upper and lower distribution.

[0034] Specifically, if Figure 3As shown, the side panel 102A and the side panel 102B are arranged adjacent to each other, the first cylinder 131A is arranged on the side panel 102A, and the first cylinder 131B is arranged on the side panel 102B. Since the side panels 102A and the side panels 102B are two adjacent side panels of the rectangular foldable battery box 10, the side panels 102A and the side panels 102B are perpendicular to each other. On the other hand, as mentioned above, since the side panels 102 are rotated relative to the inner side direction of the bottom plate 101, the present application sets the first cylinder 131A and the first cylinder 131B to be perpendicular to each other, and in the vertical direction, the first cylinder 131A and the first cylinder 131B are arranged in an upper and lower distribution, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the first cylinder 131A is disposed above the first cylinder 131B. Thus, the rotation of the adjacent side plates 102A and 102B does not affect each other, and both rotate relative to the inner side of the bottom plate 101 .

[0035] Furthermore, the side plate 102B corresponding to the first cylinder 131B arranged at the bottom is further provided with a clearance groove 121, and the first cylinder 131A arranged at the top is penetrated with the clearance groove 121. The clearance groove 121 facilitates the assembly of the first cylinder 131A and the rotation of the side plate 102A corresponding to the first cylinder 131A.

[0036] Optionally, one of the two adjacent side panels 102 is provided with a edging 122, and the edging 122 is bent and extended from the edge of one of the side panels 102 toward the adjacent side panel 102 to wrap the edge of the adjacent side panel 102, and the edging 122 and the adjacent side panel 102 are fixed by a fixing member.

[0037] For example, see Figure 2 The side plate 102C of the two adjacent side plates 102C and 102D is provided with a rim 122, which is bent and extended from the edge of the side plate 102C toward the adjacent side plate 102D to wrap the edge of the adjacent side plate 102D, and the rim 122 and the adjacent side plate 102D are fixed by a fixing member (not shown). It should be understood that the structures of the other side plates are the same.

[0038] In one embodiment, the foldable battery box 10 is a cuboid, and the bottom plate 101 is a rectangular structure. The above-mentioned edge wrapping 122 can be set at both ends of the two side plates corresponding to the two long sides of the bottom plate 101, and the edges of the two side plates corresponding to the two short sides of the bottom plate 101 are wrapped respectively and fixed by fixing parts. Figure 2 As shown, the side panels 102C and 102A are two side panels in the long side direction, and the edging 122 can be set at both ends of the side panels 102C and 102A to wrap the edges of the side panels 102B and 102D and fix them by fixing parts.

[0039] The fixing members may be screws and nuts. Correspondingly, the screws pass through the edging 122 and the side panels wrapped by the edging 122 and are fixed by nuts.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The foldable battery box 10 further includes a cover plate 104 . The cover plate 104 is disposed opposite to the bottom plate 101 , and the cover plate 104 , the bottom plate 101 and the side plate 102 form a space 100 for accommodating the battery 20 .

[0041] The cover plate 104 is hinged to one of the two side plates 102 disposed opposite to each other, and the cover plate 104 is locked to the other of the two side plates 102 disposed opposite to each other via a locking member 106. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side panels 102A and 102C are arranged opposite to each other, the cover panel 104 and the side panel 102A are hingedly connected by the hinge connector 105, and the cover panel 104 and the side panel 102C are locked by the lock member 106. Thus, the cover panel 104 rotates by the hinge connector 105 to open or close the foldable battery box 10. When the foldable battery box 10 is closed, the cover panel 104 is further locked by the lock member 106 to achieve a stable closed state of the foldable battery box 10.

[0042] Optionally, at least one of the cover plate 104, the bottom plate 101 and the side plate 102 is provided with an exhaust hole 141. Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust hole 141 can be provided on the cover plate 104 to discharge the heat generated by the battery 20 when charging in time to prevent the battery 20 from overheating. The size of the exhaust hole 141 at the location where the battery 20 generates more heat is larger than that at the location where the battery 20 generates less heat. Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust hole 141 can be arranged in a fan-shaped structure, with a smaller size in the middle of the cover plate 104 and a larger size at the edge of the cover plate 104, which is conducive to the rapid discharge of heat.

[0043] Optionally, the two side panels 102 disposed opposite to each other are respectively provided with pull rings 123. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, pull rings 123 are provided on both the side panels 102D and 102B to facilitate users to carry the foldable battery box 10 .

[0044] Therefore, when the foldable battery box 10 is idle or needs to be transported, the cover plate 104 can be removed first, then the fixing parts at the edge 122 can be removed, and finally the side plate 102 can be rotated toward the bottom plate 101 to form a folded state.

[0045] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a foldable battery box, which includes: a bottom plate, the peripheral side of which is raised upward to form a raised portion; and a side plate, which is arranged on the peripheral side of the bottom plate; wherein the side plate and the raised portion are hinged, so that the side plate can be rotated relative to the bottom plate to form a folded state. The side plate of the battery box can be rotated relative to the bottom plate to form a foldable state, thereby reducing the volume of the foldable battery box and facilitating transportation and storage.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the present application.
