Based on the embodiments in the implementation mode, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are all within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0018] The specific embodiments of the present utility model are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Specific embodiment one:
[0020] Reference Figure 1-3A high-strength material battery tray with integrated cold plate and integral welding includes an upper plate 7 and a lower plate 5. A groove is provided on the upper plate 7, and the top surface of the groove is sealed, so that a cavity is formed between the upper plate 7 and the lower plate 5. A water nozzle 6 is provided on one side of the upper plate 7, and the cavity and the two water nozzles 6 are interconnected, one of which is used to enter the liquid, and the other is used to flow out the liquid. The upper plate 7, the lower plate 5, the water nozzle 6 and the cavity together constitute the water nozzle. The top side of the upper plate 7 is respectively provided with a long crossbeam 3 and an end crossbeam 2, and the long crossbeam 3 and the end crossbeam 2 are both composed of two pieces to form a rectangular frame. In other embodiments, it can also be a polygon of other shapes. The long crossbeam 3 is provided with an intermediate crossbeam 4, and the connecting and mounting positions of the intermediate crossbeam 4 and the long crossbeam 3 are provided with legs, which are fixed by the legs. Bolts or welding positioning methods can be used. It is only necessary to ensure the stability of the overall frame. The middle crossbeam 4, the long crossbeam 3 and the end crossbeam 2 are all hollow rectangular tubes, and connecting blocks 1 are provided at both ends of the adjacent long crossbeams 3 and the end crossbeams 2. The shape of the connecting block 1 is L-shaped, and the two ends of the connecting block 1 are respectively inserted into the ports of the long crossbeam 3 and the end crossbeam 2, and the connection positions between the connecting block 1 and the end crossbeam 2 or the connecting block 1 and the long crossbeam 3 are positioned by friction resistance. The positioning and tightening are carried out by the friction force between the end of the connecting block 1 and the inner cavity of the end crossbeam 2 or the long crossbeam 3. At the same time, other external positioning forms may also be provided, including but not limited to bolt tightening, welding machine fixing and the like. Specific embodiment 2:
[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 A high-strength material battery tray with integrated cold plate and one-piece welding. In a further technical solution, when the distance between the two sets of long beams 3 is not enough to produce stress deformation, the middle beam 4 can be removed to make the overall structure lighter. At the same time, the manufacturing cost of the overall structure can also be reduced, thereby improving the unit output rate.
[0023] In summary:
[0024] The crossbeam of the battery tray uses aluminum-steel composite materials. The materials are a new type of material that is composited with aluminum and steel plates. The aluminum-steel composite materials use steel as the core material and aluminum as the welding material and anti-corrosion material. There are many forms of material composites, including single aluminum-steel composite, double aluminum-steel composite, and multiple aluminum-steel composite. The aluminum-steel composite materials are formed by rolling, drawing, bending and other processes to form box crossbeams, upper plates, lower plates, etc. The original automotive power battery box and energy storage battery box are formed by separate welding of profiles, and the battery cold plate and battery box are assembled by FDS nails and friction stir welding. This technical welding scheme consists of crossbeams, connecting blocks, upper plates, lower plates, faucets and other components. The crossbeams made of aluminum-steel composite materials will have higher strength than aluminum crossbeams, and the connecting blocks are inserted into the crossbeams to strengthen the box structure. Pre-fixation is performed by riveting, spot welding and other processes, and the weld is filled with brazing solder (4045 / 4047 and other 4 series aluminum materials). The overall welding of the box is completed by integrated brazing. This design can reasonably utilize aluminum-steel composite materials and use brazing to braze products, which simplifies the battery box and cold plate process flow, improves product production efficiency and strength, and reduces battery and box costs.
