Moreover, the plug sheet 31 can be removed from the plug slot 41 to cancel the connection between the mounting bracket 40 and the decorative cover 30 and remove the decorative cover 30. In this way, the decorative cover 30 can be detachably arranged above the vehicle body top perimeter 10, which can make the detachable arrangement of the decorative cover 30 above the vehicle body top perimeter 10 simpler and more convenient.
[0043] Furthermore, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting bracket 40 is provided with a first through hole 42 , and the decorative cover 30 is provided with a second through hole 32 . The first through hole 42 and the second through hole 32 correspond to each other and are detachably connected by a first fastener 60 .
[0044] Specifically, by providing the first through hole 42 on the mounting bracket 40 and the second through hole 32 on the decorative cover 30, and making the first through hole 42 and the second through hole 32 correspond to each other, it is only necessary to penetrate the first through hole 42 and the second through hole 32 at the same time by the first fastener 60 and perform a fastening action, so as to realize the connection between the mounting bracket 40 and the decorative cover 30 and realize the installation and setting of the decorative cover 30, and it is only necessary to cancel the fastening action of the first fastener 60 to cancel the connection between the mounting bracket 40 and the decorative cover 30 and realize the removal of the decorative cover 30. In this way, the detachable setting of the decorative cover 30 above the vehicle body top perimeter 10 can be realized, and the detachable setting of the decorative cover 30 above the vehicle body top perimeter 10 can be made simpler and more convenient.
[0045] As described above, by simultaneously providing the plug-in groove 41 and the first through-hole 42 on the mounting bracket 40, and simultaneously providing the plug-in piece 31 and the second through-hole 32 on the decorative cover 30, not only a plug-in fit but also a fastening connection can be formed between the mounting bracket 40 and the decorative cover 30, thereby improving the stability of the installation setting of the decorative cover 30 on the vehicle 100.
[0046] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, there are multiple mounting brackets 40, and the multiple mounting brackets 40 are arranged at intervals on the vehicle body top perimeter 10. Specifically, by providing multiple mounting brackets 40, and making the multiple mounting brackets 40 arranged at intervals on the vehicle body top perimeter 10, on the one hand, the decorative cover 30 can be connected to the multiple mounting brackets 40 at the same time, so that the force of the decorative cover 30 can be more uniform and reasonable, and the stability of the installation of the decorative cover 30 on the vehicle 100 is improved. On the other hand, after the decorative cover 30 is removed, the multiple mounting brackets 40 arranged at intervals will not block the inspection port 21, so there is no need to remove the mounting brackets 40, which can facilitate the inspection of the power battery.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the mounting bracket 40 may include a first bracket 43 and a second bracket 44. The first bracket 43 is arranged on the top perimeter 10 of the vehicle body, and the second bracket 44 is arranged above the first bracket 43 and extends in the up-down direction.

By arranging the plug-in slot 41 on the first bracket 43 and the first through-hole 42 at one end of the second bracket 44 away from the first bracket 43, the decorative cover 30 may be fastened to the mounting bracket 40 at the top, and the decorative cover 30 may be plugged and matched with the mounting bracket 40 at the bottom, so that the force on the decorative cover 30 may be more uniform and reasonable, and the stability of the installation of the decorative cover 30 on the vehicle 100 may be improved.
[0048] Combination Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle 100 may further include a baffle 50 , the battery housing 20 and the decorative cover 30 are spaced apart, and the baffle 50 is disposed between the upper ends of the battery housing 20 and the decorative cover 30 .
[0049] Specifically, the battery housing 20 and the decorative cover 30 are spaced apart, and there is a gap between the upper ends of the battery housing 20 and the decorative cover 30. Foreign matter such as rain and snow may enter through the gap between the upper ends of the battery housing 20 and the decorative cover 30, resulting in exposure of the inspection port 21, thereby causing damage to the power battery. By arranging a baffle 50 between the upper ends of the battery housing 20 and the decorative cover 30, the baffle 50 can block the gap between the upper ends of the battery housing 20 and the decorative cover 30, thereby preventing foreign matter such as rain and snow from entering the inspection port 21 through the gap between the upper ends of the battery housing 20 and the decorative cover 30, thereby improving the reliability of the power battery.
[0050] Furthermore, combined with Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the battery housing 20 is provided with a third through hole 22 , and one end of the baffle 50 is provided with a fourth through hole 51 . The third through hole 22 and the fourth through hole 51 correspond to each other and are detachably connected via a second fastener 70 .
[0051] Specifically, by setting the third through hole 22 in the battery housing 20, setting the fourth through hole 51 at one end of the baffle 50, and making the third through hole 22 correspond to the fourth through hole 51, it is only necessary to sequentially penetrate the fourth through hole 51 and the third through hole 22 with the second fastener 70 and perform fastening, so that the baffle 50 can be set, so that one end of the baffle 50 is connected to the battery housing 20, and the other end of the baffle 50 is extended toward the decorative cover 30 to ensure the shielding effect of the baffle 50, and the decorative cover 30 can be disassembled by only canceling the fastening effect of the second fastener 70. In this way, the baffle 50 can be detachably set above the battery housing 20, which can make the detachable setting of the baffle 50 above the battery housing 20 simpler and more convenient.
[0052] It should be noted that, considering that the baffle 50 is arranged between the upper ends of the battery casing 20 and the decorative cover 30, the baffle 50 will block the mounting bracket 40 in the up and down directions. By detachably arranging the baffle 50 between the upper ends of the battery casing 20 and the decorative cover 30, when inspecting the power battery, the baffle 50 can be removed first, and then the decorative cover 30 can be removed.
[0053] Optionally, the second fastener 70 can be set as a fastening bolt, and a welding nut 90 is set on the battery housing 20, the third through hole 22 is set in the welding nut 90, and the second fastener 70 is threadedly connected to the welding nut 90 after penetrating the fourth through hole 51 and the third through hole 22.

The load-bearing frame 23 can bear the power battery, and the cover body 24 can cover and protect the power battery, thereby preventing the erosion of foreign objects or the impact of external forces from damaging the structure of the power battery, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the power battery.
[0055] Furthermore, the cover body 24 can mainly include a top plate 241 and a side plate 242. The side plate 242 is arranged on the circumferential edge of the top plate 241 and is bent and extended downward relative to the top plate 241. At least one place of the side plate 242 is provided with an inspection port 21. In this way, on the premise that the top plate 241 and the side plate 242 can play a covering and protective role on the power battery, the staff can inspect the power battery from the side through the inspection port 21, which can facilitate the staff's operation and reduce the difficulty of maintenance.
[0056] Furthermore, combined with Figure 2As shown, the vehicle body roof 10 is extended in the longitudinal direction, and the side panel 242 is provided with an inspection opening 21 at least at one lateral position. The decorative cover 30 is provided on at least one lateral side of the vehicle body roof 10, and the decorative cover 30 corresponds to the inspection opening 21. In this way, when the vehicle 100 is in normal use, the decorative cover 30 can completely cover the inspection opening 21, thereby enhancing the protection of the power battery.
