[0043] Among them, the battery pack 100 also includes an auxiliary operating part 8 that is recessed from the contact surface toward the direction where the connection surface is located. In this embodiment, a plurality of auxiliary operating parts 8 are arranged on the contact surface. Preferably, the number of the auxiliary operating parts 8 is three, which correspond to the fingers of the operator respectively. The optional operation method is that the operator's index finger, middle finger and ring finger are placed on the auxiliary operating part 8, and the thumb is pressed on the operating part 2 at the same time, and the battery pack 100 can be disassembled and assembled with one hand. In addition, the ratio of the distance from any auxiliary operating part 8 to the front end surface of the shell 1 to the length of the shell 1 in the front-to-back direction is less than 0.8. The position of the auxiliary operating part 8 is configured according to the height of the battery pack 100, so that its arrangement conforms to ergonomics.

[0044] Combination Fig.11As shown, the auxiliary operating part 8 has a first auxiliary operating part 8a, a second auxiliary operating part 8b and a third auxiliary operating part 8c. The first auxiliary operating part 8a, the second auxiliary operating part 8b and the third auxiliary operating part 8c are arranged on the contact surface at intervals along the left-right direction, and the three are staggered in the front-to-back direction.

[0045] In this embodiment, any auxiliary operating portion 8 has a recessed feature 81 formed on the bottom wall 1b of the shell 1 and a convex rib 82 protruding from the recessed feature 81 away from the connecting surface. The recessed feature 81 and the convex rib 82 make it convenient for the operator to apply force to the bottom wall 1b of the battery pack 100.

[0046] Specifically, the ratio of any cross-sectional area of ​​the concave feature 81 parallel to the contact surface to the projection area of ​​the concave feature 81 on the contact surface is not greater than 1. In the bottom-up direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the concave feature 81 gradually decreases. Further, the cross-section of the concave feature 81 is elliptical. Preferably, the structure of the concave feature 81 is adapted to the shape of the finger.

[0047] Specifically, the plurality of convex ribs 82 are all located within the projection of the auxiliary operating portion 8 on the contact surface. At the same time, the convex ribs are located on the upper side of the contact surface and do not extend downward beyond the contact surface.

Specifically, the first battery pack 5a and the second battery pack 5b are arranged in three rows and five columns, and the rows are staggered.

[0055] In addition, the battery pack 5 is accommodated in the bracket 3, and each battery cell 51 is fixedly placed by the bracket 3 to prevent it from moving in the housing 1. The control board 4 is attached to the bracket 3, and can be arranged above the bracket 3 and fixedly connected to the bracket 3.

[0056] In this embodiment, the bracket 3 includes a first bracket assembly 31 for mounting the first battery pack 5a, a second bracket assembly 32 for fixing the second battery pack 5b, and a guide structure 33 formed above the bracket 3.

Since the upper ends of the second bracket assembly 32 and the third bracket 32a are basically attached to the control board 4, the left chamber and the right chamber are not connected to each other.

[0058] Combination Fig.13 As shown, the bracket 31 further comprises a first rib 33a, a second rib 33b and a third rib 33c protruding upward from the third bracket 32a, and a fourth rib 33d and a fifth rib 33e protruding upward from the second bracket 31b, the extension direction of the first rib 33a coincides with the extension direction of the fourth rib 33d, the extension direction of the second rib 33b coincides with the extension direction of the fifth rib 33e, the extension direction of the first rib 33a is parallel to the extension direction of the third rib 33c, and the extension direction of the first rib 33a is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second rib 33b, and in this embodiment, the first rib 33a, the second rib 33b, the third rib 33c, the fourth rib 33d and the fifth rib 33e are surrounded to form a guide structure 33. Specifically, the guide structure 33 is a U-shaped groove.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first ventilation hole 13 is located on the rear side of the second bracket 31b, and the guide structure 33 spans the first bracket assembly 31 and the second bracket assembly 32, so that the guide structure 33 divides the air flow channel for cooling the battery group 5 into a first air flow channel for cooling the first battery group 5a and a second air flow channel for cooling the second battery group 5b, and the first air flow channel is independent of the second air flow channel.

[0060] Specifically, the guide structure 33 connects the left chamber and the air collecting port 16, so that the second vent 14, the left chamber, the guide structure 33, the air collecting port 16 and the first vent 13 form a first airflow channel, and the second vent 14, the right chamber, the guide structure 33, the air collecting port 16 and the first vent 13 form a second airflow channel. In this embodiment, when the cooling airflow enters the accommodating space 15 from the second vent 14, it is divided into two streams, which flow upward from the gaps between the cells 51 of the first battery group 5a and the second battery group 5b, respectively, and are collected through the air collecting port 16, and then discharged from the first vent 13; in another feasible embodiment, the cooling airflow flows from the first vent 13, passes through the air collecting port 16 and the guide structure 33, and is divided into two streams, which flow downward from the gaps between the cells 51 of the first battery group 5a and the second battery group 5b, respectively, and then discharged from the second vent 14.

[0061] In addition, the air collecting port 16 and the first vent 13 are arranged to form a first chamber, and part of the guide structure 33 is located in the first chamber in the up-down direction, which is conducive to the division of the cooling airflow. Preferably, in the first plane, the ratio of the overlapping area of ​​the air collecting port 16 and the guide structure 33 to the projected area of ​​the air collecting port 16 is not less than 0.5. Preferably, the ratio of the overlapping area of ​​the air collecting port 16 and the guide structure 33 to the projected area of ​​the air collecting port 16 is greater than 0.6, so that the cooling airflow is better guided to the location of the first battery pack 5a.
