[0052] See also Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery box 1 including a box body and a battery assembly.

[0053] The battery assembly includes a plurality of single cells 12 , each of which has a large surface 120 , a pole surface 121 and a small surface 122 . A positive pole and a negative pole are arranged on the pole surface 121 of the single cell 12 . The large surface 120 of the single cell 12 is perpendicular to the first direction a.

[0054] The plurality of single cells 12 are arranged in a row in sequence along the first direction a with their large surfaces 120 facing each other, and the number of single cells 12 in each row is not less than two. Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a specific example of eight single cells 12 arranged in a row along the first direction a. The large surfaces 120 of two adjacent single cells 12 in each row are bonded together, so that the adjacent single cells 12 are fixed, and the single cells 12 in each row are connected as a whole.

[0055] In addition, the plurality of single cells 12 are arranged in at least one column. When the single cells 12 of the battery assembly are arranged in multiple columns, the multiple columns of single cells 12 are arranged along the second direction b. The small faces 122 of two adjacent single cells 12 along the second direction b are arranged opposite to each other. The first direction a and the second direction b are arranged crosswise. Optionally, the first direction a and the second direction b are perpendicular to each other. Figure 3 In a specific example shown, the battery assembly includes two columns of single cells 12, and the two columns of single cells 12 are adjacently arranged along the second direction b.

[0056] The frame clamps the two ends of the battery assembly in the second direction b, that is, the frame positions the plurality of single batteries 12 in the battery assembly along two dimensions, the first direction a and the second direction b.

[0057] The box body includes a frame, which includes a first enclosure 100 and a second enclosure 101 opposite to each other along a first direction a. The first enclosure 100 and the second enclosure 101 respectively press the two ends of the battery assembly in the first direction a, and provide a certain compression force and compression stroke to the battery assembly to achieve clamping and limiting in the second direction a; the frame also includes a third enclosure 102 and a fourth enclosure 103 opposite to each other along a second direction b. The third enclosure 102 and the fourth enclosure 103 respectively press the two ends of the battery assembly in the second direction b to achieve size limiting in the second direction b.

[0058] The first enclosure panel 100, the third enclosure panel 102, the second enclosure panel 101 and the fourth enclosure panel 103 are fastened and connected in sequence. Specifically, each adjacent two of the first enclosure panel 100, the third enclosure panel 102, the second enclosure panel 101 and the fourth enclosure panel 103 are directly locked by fastening components 14, that is, they are fastened and connected in sequence without the need for connection through auxiliary components such as fixing ribs.

[0059] Optionally, the fastening member 14 can be a fastening bolt. Taking the fastening connection between the first enclosure 100 and the third enclosure 102 as an example, the end of the first enclosure 100 along the second direction b and the end of the third enclosure 102 along the first direction a are both provided with connecting holes. The fastening bolt passes through the corresponding connecting holes of the first enclosure 100 and the third enclosure 102 and locks the first enclosure 100 and the third enclosure 102 to each other.

[0060] Similarly, after positioning the first enclosure 100, the third enclosure 102, the second enclosure 101 and the fourth enclosure 103 by a special fixture, they are fastened and connected in sequence to complete the assembly of the frame.

[0066] Specifically, each column of single cells 12 of the battery assembly is bonded and fixed into a row one by one by elastic adhesives 16, and then the frame and the battery assembly in the frame are positioned and clamped along the first direction a according to a certain compression force and compression stroke by a special fixture. Furthermore, the frame can position the battery assembly along the second direction b according to its own size, thereby completing the positioning and installation of the battery assembly relative to the frame.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first enclosure 100 and the second enclosure 101 both include an enclosure body 1000 and a flange portion 1001.

[0087] In the optional solution of this embodiment, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the third enclosure 102 is provided with a supporting portion 1020 in the installation space. In other words, the supporting portion 1020 is provided on the third enclosure 102 and extends into the installation space. Optionally, the supporting portion 1020 is formed by cutting part of the third enclosure 102 and folding it toward the installation space.

[0088] The insulating fixing assembly includes a plurality of insulating fasteners 23 , which are connected one by one between the supporting portion 1020 and the plurality of output pole pieces 22 , so that each output pole piece 22 is fixed to the supporting portion 1020 by a corresponding insulating fastener 23 .

[0089] Optionally, the insulating fastener 23 is an insulating stud.

[0090] At least one second output pole piece 22f among the multiple output pole pieces 22 is directly or indirectly electrically connected to the control circuit board 24 and the positive pole of a single battery 12, and at least one first output pole piece 22e among the multiple output pole pieces 22 is directly or indirectly electrically connected to the control circuit board 24 and the negative pole of another single battery 12.

[0091] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a first output pole piece 22e is welded to the negative pole of a single battery 12, and another first output pole piece 22e is welded to the first output pole piece 22e, so that the two first output pole pieces 22e are both connected to the negative pole of the same single battery 12, and the two first output pole pieces 22e are fixed to the supporting portion 1020 by two insulating fasteners 23, one of which is directly connected to the negative pole of the single battery 12, and the other is indirectly connected to the negative pole of the single battery 12. Therefore, one of the two first output pole pieces 22e can be selected to be electrically connected to the control circuit board 24 according to actual needs, so that the negative pole of the single battery 12 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 24 through the selected first output pole piece 22e, thereby providing a structural basis for realizing compatible design. Similarly, the second output pole piece 22f can also be configured as multiple (not shown in the figure).

[0092] In an optional solution of this embodiment, the box body further includes a first distance connection member 18, and the first distance connection member 18 is abutted between the cover plate folding edge 1041 of the first cover plate 104 and the mounting plate portion 110 along the second direction b, so that the frame and the mounting plate portion 110 maintain a first interval along the second direction b. The first distance connection member 18 is not only conducive to strengthening the strength of the mounting shell 11 and maintaining its shape, but also can improve the connection reliability between the mounting shell 11 and the box body.

[0093] Optionally, in order to optimize the connection position between the first distance connecting member 18 and the cover fold 1041 of the first cover plate 104, a connecting ear 1042 can be set adjacent to the cover fold 1041 of the first cover plate 104 and the installation space, and the first distance connecting member 18 and the connecting ear 1042 can be fastened together.

[0094] The box body also includes a second distance connecting member 19, and the control circuit board 24 is connected to the mounting plate portion 110 through the second distance connecting member 19, so that the control circuit board 24 and the mounting plate portion 110 maintain a second interval along the second direction b, wherein, in order to prevent the control circuit board 24 and the mounting shell 11 from short circuiting, the second distance connecting member 19 can be configured to have insulation, thereby realizing the positioning and installation of the control circuit board 24 in the installation space through the second distance connecting member 19.

[0095] The second interval is smaller than the first interval, so that the control circuit board 24 is spaced apart from the third enclosure 102 and the mounting plate portion 110 along the second direction b, and the interval between the control circuit board 24 and the third enclosure 102 is sufficient for installing the supporting portion 1020, the output pole piece 22 and the insulating fixing assembly.

[0096] Optionally, the first distance connection member 18 and the second distance connection member 19 can be provided in plurality to improve the reliability of the distance support.

[0097] Optionally, both the first distance connection member 18 and the second distance connection member 19 may be distance bolts.

[0098] In an optional scheme of this embodiment, the conductive component also includes a connecting electrode 21, and the positive electrode column of one single cell 12 is electrically connected to the negative electrode column of another adjacent single cell 12 through the connecting electrode 21, so that all the single cells 12 in the battery assembly are connected in series in sequence, and the battery assembly realizes negative output through the first output electrode 22e, and realizes positive output through the second output electrode 22f.

[0099] The battery box 1 also includes an insulating bracket 20, which is positioned and connected to the pole surface 121 of the battery assembly, and the insulating bracket 20 can be an injection molded part. The insulating bracket 20 is provided with a mounting groove on the side away from the battery assembly, and the connecting pole piece 21 is adaptively arranged in the mounting groove. The position of the mounting groove is set corresponding to the position of the negative pole column and the positive pole column of the two single batteries 12 to be connected, so that the connecting pole piece 21 can be fixed by the insulating bracket 20, and the connecting pole piece 21 is limited to the position corresponding to the negative pole column and the positive pole column to be connected.

[0100] Specifically, the connecting electrode piece 21 and the output electrode piece 22 are first fixed on the insulating bracket 20, so that the connecting electrode piece 21, the output electrode piece 22 and the insulating bracket 20 are integrated into one. Then the insulating bracket 20 is installed on the battery assembly. Then, after the insulating bracket 20 and the battery assembly are roughly positioned and fixed, the connecting electrode piece 21 and the output electrode piece 22 can be positioned with the corresponding pole within the allowable accuracy range. Finally, the connecting electrode piece 21 is welded to the corresponding pole, and the output electrode piece 22 is welded to the corresponding pole.

[0101] It can be seen that the insulating bracket 20 can not only improve the assembly efficiency and assembly accuracy of the connecting pole piece 21 and the output pole piece 22 relative to the battery assembly, but also ensure that the pole surface 121 of the single battery 12 except the pole is insulated relative to the connecting pole piece 21 and the output pole piece 22.

[0102] Optionally, the connecting pole piece 21 and the output pole piece 22 are both made of aluminum bars.
