Frames 4 are respectively arranged on both sides of the tray body 1 in the width direction. The frame 4 and the front frame 2 and the rear frame 3 are fully welded to effectively improve the rigidity and strength performance of the modular battery box, seal the profile opening, and improve the NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance of the whole package; the frame 4, the connecting end of the front frame 2 and the tray body 1, and the connecting end of the rear frame 3 and the tray body 1 are enclosed to form a frame structure, and a bottom plate is arranged at the bottom end of the frame structure, wherein the bottom plate is a multi-layer structure, including, from top to bottom, an upper plate of a water-cooled plate, a lower plate of a water-cooled plate, and a bottom guard plate, wherein the bottom guard plate is coated with PVC. The water-cooling plate 9 of the battery of the casting + profile welding method adopts the water-cooling plate FSW (Friction Stir Welding) welding method, which is 30% faster than the MIG (Metal Inert Gas Welding) welding method, thereby shortening the welding time, reducing the number of screwed parts, and thus reducing the cost; Fig.10 The bottom structure of the battery box after removing the bottom guard plate and the PVC coating is shown in FIG. The central part of the figure is the water cooling plate 9, and the welding path, i.e., the weld 10, is shown in FIG. Fig.10 Shown in black bold lines.
[0058] It is conceivable that with the development of electric vehicle technology and the increasing demand of consumers for driving range, modular battery boxes can be adaptively expanded as needed to meet different market needs.
[0059] The tray body 1 is also provided with a plurality of vertically arranged cross beams 5 and a plurality of longitudinal beams 6, and a reinforcing joint 7 is provided at the cross connection between the cross beams 5 and the longitudinal beams 6, which effectively reduces the weld seams and improves the structural strength. The number of cross beams 5 and longitudinal beams 6 can be adaptively adjusted according to the wheelbase of different vehicle models and the required battery capacity, and the size of the battery box, and no limitation is made here.
[0060] In the above scheme, the standardized modular design of the battery box can realize large-scale manufacturing in the production process, thereby reducing the cost of a single component and reducing the production cost; and the modularly designed battery box can be quickly assembled and deployed, which is an advantage for the production and maintenance of new energy vehicles; the modular battery box can be expanded as needed and has a wide range of application prospects; compared with traditional fuel vehicles, pure electric vehicles have greatly optimized the power transmission system after eliminating components such as the engine, and the design of the modular battery box helps to use the internal space of the vehicle more efficiently; at the same time, the development of modular battery boxes is also a manifestation of technological innovation, which promotes the application of new materials and new structures and helps to improve the technical level of the entire industry. The front and rear parts of the battery box adopt a modular casting concept to effectively reduce the structural weakening caused by profile welding, and effectively reduce the welding process, reducing the cost; the cross-shaped overlap area of the profile adopts a riveted casting frame bracket, that is, the strengthening joint 7 is connected, which can effectively reduce welds, reduce welding tooling, avoid welding dead corners, and can structurally reinforce the splicing of profile parts.
[0061] In some feasible embodiments, the cross beam 5 is a profile having a convex cross section, such as Figure 6 As shown; the profile structure located at the "convex" head is defined as the first cavity 51, and the profile structure located below the "convex" head is defined as the second cavity 52. The two ends of the first cavity 51 in the length direction are not arranged on the same end surface as the two ends of the second cavity 52 in the length direction, that is, the length of the first cavity 51 is shorter than the length of the second cavity 52. Therefore, after the two ends of the crossbeam 5 are connected to the frame 4, the two ends of the first cavity 51 in the length direction are spaced from the frame 4, and the two ends of the second cavity 52 are respectively welded to the frame 4, and the weld is located at the end of the second cavity 52. The crossbeam 5 also adopts a modular approach, and a suitable profile section can be selected for the platform vehicle model, and the structural material can be changed to improve the strength in a targeted manner, so that the applicability of the battery box is enhanced. It can be imagined that the size of the crossbeam 5 can be adaptively adjusted according to the wheelbase of different vehicle models and the required battery capacity, and with the size of the battery box, and no further restrictions are made here.
[0062] In the above scheme, the middle crossbeam 5 also adopts a modular concept, and can select a suitable profile section according to the platform vehicle model, and can change the structural material to improve the strength in a targeted manner, so that the crossbeam 5 has strong adaptability and flexibility, and also enhances the applicability of the battery box; and the welding method of the crossbeam 5 can effectively match the wheelbase and battery capacity of different vehicle models, and the size of the crossbeam 5 can be adaptively adjusted according to the wheelbase of different vehicle models and the required battery capacity. The adjustability of the size enables the crossbeam 5 to better adapt to the needs of various vehicle models and battery boxes, thereby improving the versatility and competitiveness of the product; because the crossbeam 5 adopts a modular design, its manufacturing process can be standardized and automated, thereby improving production efficiency; at the same time, the connection method is simple and reliable, and the installation process is more convenient and quick, reducing the manufacturing cost and installation difficulty.

In some feasible embodiments, two vertically arranged crossbeams 5 and one longitudinal beam 6 are also provided in the tray body 1, wherein one crossbeam 5 is provided with four mounting point connectors 8, and the other crossbeam 5 is provided with two mounting point connectors 8, so that the crossbeam 5 is connected and fixed to the lower bottom plate and the upper component through the mounting point connector 8, and the position of the mounting point connector 8 corresponds to the position of the upper connected seat. Among them, the middle mounting point (i.e., the mounting point connector 8) is connected by a profile, which can flexibly match the iteration of vehicle models and enhance the versatility of the platform.
[0064] like Figure 8 As shown, in the preferred solution, the diameter of the mounting point connector 8 matched with the first cavity 51 is larger than the diameter matched with the second cavity 52, the mounting point connector 8 is arranged through the crossbeam 5, and both ends of the mounting point connector 8 extend out of the lateral upper end surface and the lower end surface, and the outer wall of the mounting point connector 8 is welded to the connection of the first cavity 51, and the positions of the weld seam I81 and the weld seam II82 are as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the connection between the mounting point connector 8 and the lower end surface of the cross beam 5 is welded, and the weld III 83 is as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The upper and lower end surfaces of the mounting point connector 8 extending out of the cross beam 5 are provided with threaded holes. In this embodiment, one M8×1.25 threaded hole is provided on the upper and lower end surfaces, and washers are provided on the upper and lower end surfaces of the mounting point connector 8 extending out of the cross beam 5, respectively.

[0065] In the above scheme, the mounting point connector 8 is arranged through the cross beam 5, and the connection between its outer wall and the first cavity 51 is connected by welding. The mounting point connector 8 passes through the cross beam 5 and is welded to the lower end face of the cross beam 5. This structure significantly enhances the strength and stability of the connection point, so that the entire structure can withstand greater loads or vibrations; the threaded holes opened on the upper and lower end faces of the cross beam 5 where the mounting point connector 8 extends out make it possible to connect the cross beam 5 to the bottom plate and the components above the battery box through threaded fasteners, making the installation and disassembly process simpler.
[0066] like Figure 7 As shown, the cross beam 5 at the connection with the longitudinal beam 6 is provided with a first bayonet 54 opening upward and a second bayonet 55 opening downward, so that the cross beam 5 is connected to the longitudinal beam 6 and the reinforcing joint 7 through the first bayonet 54 and the second bayonet 55. At the same time, a plurality of openings are evenly spaced on both sides above the second cavity 52, and the openings are arranged in pairs, and each pair of openings is symmetrically arranged about the first cavity 51, for heat dissipation or buckling of wiring harnesses.

The connection between the longitudinal beam 6 and the front frame 2 or the rear frame 3 is also welded.
[0068] In the above scheme, the connection between the cross beam 5 and the longitudinal beam 6 is achieved by the first notch, the second bayonet 55, and the first bayonet 54 in conjunction with the setting of the reinforcement joint 7.

The installation is convenient and efficient, and the cross beam 5 and the longitudinal beam 6 are stably connected. At the same time, the longitudinal beam 6 and the cross beam 5 are welded at the joint, and a solid overall structure is formed between the longitudinal beam 6 and the cross beam 5. The setting of the weld ensures the strength and stability of the connection, so that the entire structure is not easily deformed or displaced when bearing loads. The first bayonet 54 is used to support the bottom of the reinforcement joint 7, and also enhances the overall stability of the structure.

[0070] In the above scheme, through the arrangement of the first connecting portion 71 and the second connecting portion 72, multiple connection points are formed between the reinforcing joint 7 and the cross beam 5 and the longitudinal beam 6, thereby significantly improving the stability of the overall frame; the cross beam 5 and the longitudinal beam 6 are connected to each other through the reinforcing joint 7 and threaded connection, and the reinforcing joint 7 is respectively connected to the longitudinal beam 6 and the upper end surface of the cross beam 5 through threaded fasteners, thereby achieving the fixation of the cross beam 5 and the longitudinal beam 6. The connection method is simple and efficient. At the same time, the cross-shaped overlap area of the cross beam 5 and the longitudinal beam 6 is connected by a riveted casting frame bracket, which can effectively reduce welds, reduce welding tooling, avoid welding dead corners, and can structurally reinforce the joints of profile parts.
