[0002] In the related art, a battery device is installed on an electrical device (for example, a vehicle chassis, a ship, etc.). Taking the battery device installed on the chassis of a vehicle as an example, when the vehicle collides, the chassis is easily deformed and squeezes the battery device, causing the battery cells in the battery device to deform and be damaged, etc., thereby reducing the reliability of the battery device and thus reducing the reliability of the vehicle. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, one purpose of the present application is to propose a battery device that reduces the risk of deformation and damage of battery cells in the battery device when a vehicle collides, improves the reliability of the battery device, and thus improves the reliability of the vehicle.
[0004] The present application further proposes a vehicle.
[0005] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a battery device, comprising:
[0006] A box body, wherein a mounting chamber is formed in the box body, and the mounting chamber accommodates a plurality of battery cells;
[0007] A first airbag component is disposed in the box body, the first airbag component is disposed on at least one side of the installation bin, and the first airbag component is located outside the installation bin, and the first airbag component is configured to be selectively inflated with gas;
[0008] The box body includes a plurality of side beams, and the plurality of side beams are connected to enclose the installation bin, at least one of the side beams is provided with the first airbag component, and at least one of the first airbag components is arranged in the corresponding side beam.
[0009] In the above technical solution, by providing a first airbag component, when a vehicle collides, the first airbag component is filled with gas and can absorb the impact force. Compared with the prior art, the force on the battery device can be reduced, thereby reducing the force on the battery cells in the battery device, reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cells, and improving the reliability of the battery device, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle, which is conducive to solving the reliability problem of the battery device when the vehicle is driving at high speed.
[0010] By having a box body including a plurality of side beams, the arrangement of the installation compartment is realized. By having a first airbag component provided by at least one side beam, the first airbag component can be reasonably arranged in a position. When a vehicle collides, it is beneficial for the first airbag component to absorb energy. In addition, the battery device can have an energy absorbing effect in at least one direction where the first airbag component is provided, thereby facilitating the improvement of the collision safety of the battery device in at least one direction, further improving the reliability of the battery device, and thus further improving the reliability of the vehicle, which is more beneficial for solving the reliability problem of the battery device when the vehicle is traveling at high speeds.
[0011] By disposing at least one first airbag component in the corresponding side beam, when the vehicle does not collide, the first airbag component can be hidden inside the corresponding side beam, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the battery device and making the battery device structure more compact, thereby helping to reduce the assembly space of the battery device; and when the vehicle collides, the first airbag component can be detonated to inflate the airbag structure, thereby meeting the requirement of reducing the force on the battery cells in the battery device.
[0012] In some embodiments, a side beam having the first airbag component disposed therein forms an installation space, and the first airbag component is disposed in the installation space.
[0013] In the above technical solution, an installation space is formed by the side beam with the first airbag component inside, so that the effect of arranging the first airbag component inside the corresponding side beam can be achieved, and the first airbag component is detonated to inflate the airbag structure. When the inflated airbag structure is located in the side beam, the energy absorption capacity of the corresponding side beam can be improved. In addition, when the first airbag component is detonated to inflate the airbag structure, the airbag structure moves out of the corresponding side beam to expose at least part of the corresponding side beam. In the event of a vehicle collision, the airbag structure can be subjected to force before the corresponding side beam, which is beneficial to reducing the force on the box body, reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam due to force, and further reducing the force on the battery cells in the battery device, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the battery device.
[0014] In some embodiments, an airbag pop-out hole connected to the installation space is formed on the outer wall of the installation space, and the airbag pop-out hole corresponds to the corresponding first airbag component. When the first airbag component is inflated, at least part of the first airbag component moves to the outside of the installation space through the airbag pop-out hole.
[0015] In the above technical solution, an airbag pop-up hole connected to the installation space is formed through the outer side wall of the installation space, and the airbag pop-up hole is arranged corresponding to the corresponding first airbag component. When the first airbag component is inflated, the airbag structure of the first airbag component is convenient to move out of the corresponding side beam through the airbag pop-up hole, which is beneficial to increase the speed of the airbag structure of the first airbag component moving out of the corresponding side beam. When the vehicle collides, it is beneficial for the airbag structure of the first airbag component to move out of the corresponding side beam to participate in energy absorption, which is more beneficial to reducing the force on the box body and the force on the battery cells in the battery device.
[0016] In some embodiments, along the length direction of the side beam where the first airbag component is provided, at least a portion of the first airbag component is located in a middle region of the corresponding side beam.
[0017] In the above technical solution, by at least partially setting the first airbag component in the middle area of the corresponding side beam, after the airbag structure of the first airbag component is inflated, the airbag structure of the first airbag component can cover the middle area of the side beam. Taking the front side beam of the installation compartment provided with the first airbag component as an example, when the vehicle collides head-on, rear-end or offset, the airbag structure of the first airbag component can absorb the collision force to a greater extent after being hit, which can further reduce the force on the battery device, thereby further reducing the force on the battery cells in the battery device, further reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cells, further improving the reliability of the battery device, thereby further improving the reliability of the vehicle, and being more conducive to solving the reliability problem of the battery device when the vehicle is driving at high speed.
[0018] In some embodiments, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beams and the installation bins, when the first airbag component is inflated with gas, the orthographic projection of the first airbag component and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam have an overlapping area.
[0019] In the above technical solution, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beam and the installation bin, when the first airbag component is inflated with gas, the orthographic projection of the first airbag component and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam have an overlapping area, and the side beam can reliably support the airbag structure of the corresponding first airbag component, which is conducive to improving the supporting effect of the side beam on the airbag structure of the corresponding first airbag component and improving the stability of the airbag structure of the first airbag component when it is hit by an external force. In addition, the airbag structure of the first airbag component can abut the corresponding side beam when it is hit by an external force, which is conducive to improving the force transmission performance between the airbag structure and the corresponding side beam, and can transmit part of the collision force to the side beam. The collision force can be transmitted to other structural parts of the vehicle along the side beam and the chassis of the vehicle, so that the collision force is dispersed and the risk of concentrated force is reduced. In addition, when the vehicle collides, the airbag structure can be subjected to force before the corresponding side beam, which is more conducive to reducing the force on the side beam, further reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam under force, and further reducing the force on the battery cells in the battery device.
[0020] In some embodiments, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beams and the installation bin, when the first airbag component is inflated with gas, the area of the orthographic projection of the first airbag component is S1, and the area of the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the first airbag component and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam is S2, satisfying: 10%≤S2 / S1≤100%.
[0021] In the above technical scheme, through 10%≤S2 / S1≤100%, the area of the overlapping region between the orthographic projection of the airbag structure and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam is appropriate, and when the airbag structure is subjected to collision force, it is more conducive to improving the force transmission performance between the airbag structure and the corresponding side beam, and the side beam can more reliably support the airbag structure of the corresponding first airbag component, which is more conducive to improving the supporting effect of the side beam on the airbag structure of the corresponding first airbag component, further improving the stability of the airbag structure of the first airbag component when subjected to external force collision, and, when the vehicle collides, it is beneficial for the airbag structure to be subjected to force before the corresponding side beam, thereby being more conducive to reducing the force on the side beam, further reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam under force, and further reducing the force on the battery cells in the battery device.
[0022] In some embodiments, when the first airbag component is inflated with gas, along the height direction of the battery device, the height dimension of the first airbag component is greater than or equal to the height dimension of the corresponding side beam.
[0023] In the above technical scheme, when the first airbag component is inflated with gas, the height dimension of the airbag structure of the first airbag component is greater than or equal to the height dimension of the corresponding side beam, which is conducive to making the orthographic projection of the airbag structure of the first airbag component and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam have an overlapping area along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beam and the installation bin. The side beam can more reliably support the airbag structure of the corresponding first airbag component, further improve the stability of the airbag structure of the first airbag component when it is hit by external force, and the airbag structure can reliably block the corresponding side beam. When the vehicle collides, it is more conducive to the airbag structure to be stressed before the corresponding side beam, thereby more conducive to reducing the stress on the side beam, further reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam under stress, and further reducing the stress on the battery cells in the battery device.
[0024] In some embodiments, when the first airbag component is inflated with gas, along the length direction of the corresponding side beam, the length dimension of the first airbag component is less than or equal to the length dimension of the corresponding side beam.
[0025] In the above technical scheme, when the first airbag component is inflated with gas, along the length direction of the corresponding side beam, through the length dimension of the first airbag component being less than or equal to the length dimension of the corresponding side beam, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beam and the installation bin, it is beneficial to make the airbag structure cover the corresponding side beam, and it is beneficial to increase the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the airbag structure and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam. The side beam can more reliably support the airbag structure of the corresponding first airbag component, further improve the stability of the airbag structure of the first airbag component when subjected to external force collision, and the airbag structure can more reliably block the corresponding side beam. When the vehicle collides, it is more beneficial for the airbag structure to be subjected to force before the corresponding side beam, thereby more beneficial to reduce the force on the side beam, further reduce the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam under force, and further reduce the force on the battery cells in the battery device.
[0026] In some embodiments, the multiple side beams include: two first side beams and two second side beams, the two first side beams are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the length direction of the battery device, the two second side beams are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the width direction of the battery device, and at least one of the two first side beams is provided with a first airbag component.
[0027] In the above technical solution, by setting two first side beams and two second side beams, the effect of forming an installation bin can be achieved, and the structure of the box can be simplified, which is convenient for the production and manufacturing of the box. In addition, by providing a first airbag component through at least one of the two first side beams, after the airbag structure of the first airbag component is inflated, the airbag structure can absorb at least part of the collision force, and the collision force not absorbed by the airbag structure can be transmitted to the first side beam, and the collision force is transmitted to the two second side beams through the first side beam. The collision force can be transmitted to the box and other structural parts of the vehicle along the side beams, so that the collision force is dispersed, and the risk of concentrated force is reduced, which can further reduce the force on the battery cells in the battery device, further reduce the risk of squeezing the battery cells in the battery device, further reduce the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cells in the battery device, further improve the reliability of the battery device, and thus further improve the reliability of the vehicle.
[0028] In some embodiments, a partition beam is provided in the installation bin to separate the installation bin into an energy bin and a buffer bin. The energy bin accommodates a plurality of battery cells, and a buffer bin is provided between at least one first airbag component and the energy bin.
[0029] In the above technical solution, a buffer chamber is provided between at least one first airbag component and the energy chamber. The buffer chamber is a collapse space and has a buffering effect. When the corresponding side beam provided with the first airbag component is deformed by the collision force, the corresponding side beam can collapse and deform toward the buffer chamber, thereby reducing the risk of the side beam deformation squeezing the battery cell, further reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cell, further improving the reliability of the battery device, thereby further improving the reliability of the vehicle, and being more conducive to solving the reliability problem of the battery device when the vehicle is driving at high speed.
[0030] In some embodiments, the energy compartment and the buffer compartment are arranged along the length direction of the battery device.
[0031] In the above technical solution, the energy bin and the buffer bin are arranged along the length direction of the battery device. When the battery device is subjected to a collision force or an offset collision force along the length direction of the battery device, the buffer bin can effectively provide a collapse space for the deformation of the corresponding side beam, effectively reducing the risk of the side beam deformation squeezing the battery cell, further reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cell, further improving the reliability of the battery device, thereby further improving the reliability of the vehicle, and being more conducive to solving the reliability problem of the battery device when the vehicle is driving at high speed, thereby making the arrangement of the energy bin and the buffer bin reasonable.
[0032] In some embodiments, the multiple side beams include: two first side beams and two second side beams, the two first side beams are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the length direction of the battery device, the two second side beams are arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the width direction of the battery device, a partition beam extends along the width direction of the battery device and is connected between the two second side beams, the partition beam is spaced apart from the two first side beams to form an energy bin between the partition beam and one of the first side beams, and a buffer bin is formed between the partition beam and another first side beam.
[0033] In the above technical solution, the partition beam extends along the width direction of the battery device and is connected between the two second side beams. The partition beam is separated from the two first side beams. An energy bin can be formed between the partition beam and one of the first side beams, and a buffer bin can be formed between the partition beam and the other first side beam, thereby achieving the effect of arranging the energy bin and the buffer bin along the length direction of the battery device.
[0034] In some embodiments, the battery device further includes: an energy absorbing structure, wherein the energy absorbing structure is disposed in the buffer compartment.
[0035] In the above technical solution, by arranging the energy absorbing structure in the buffer bin, the energy absorbing structure has an energy absorbing function, which can make the box have a multi-level energy absorbing effect. After the airbag structure of the first airbag component is hit, the airbag structure of the first airbag component can absorb at least part of the collision force, and the collision force not absorbed by the airbag structure of the first airbag component can be transmitted to the corresponding side beam, and the corresponding side beam can squeeze the energy absorbing structure after deformation. The energy absorbing structure further absorbs the collision force and reduces the squeezing of the battery cell during the collision. It can further reduce the force on the battery cell in the battery device, further reduce the deformation and damage risk of the battery cell in the battery device, further improve the reliability of the battery device, and thus further improve the reliability of the vehicle.
[0036] In some embodiments, the energy absorbing structure includes at least one of an energy absorbing box, a cushion frame, a spring, and a second airbag component.
[0037] In the above technical solution, the energy absorbing structure includes at least one of an energy absorbing box, a buffer frame, a spring and a second airbag component, so that the energy absorbing structure can have energy absorbing performance, so that the energy absorbing structure meets the working requirements, and the energy absorbing effect of the energy absorbing structure can be improved. After the energy absorbing structure is hit, the energy absorbing structure can absorb more collision force, which can further reduce the force on the battery cell.
[0038] In some embodiments, the energy absorbing structure is fixedly connected to at least one of the separator beam and the side beam.
[0039] In the above technical solution, by fixing the energy absorbing structure to at least one of the partition beam and the side beam, the energy absorbing structure can be fixed in the buffer bin, reducing the risk of movement of the energy absorbing structure in the buffer bin, thereby making the energy absorbing structure reliably correspond to the corresponding first airbag component. When the airbag structure of the first airbag component is subjected to collision force, the energy absorbing structure can absorb energy easily.

[0089] The battery device 100 includes: a box body 10 and a first airbag component 30. An installation compartment 11 is formed in the box body 10, and the installation compartment 11 is defined by the box body 10. A plurality of battery cells 20 are installed in the installation compartment 11. The first airbag component 30 may have an airbag structure 31. When the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, the airbag structure 31 is inflated with gas and the volume increases. When the first airbag component 30 is not inflated with gas, the airbag structure 31 is not inflated with gas, and the airbag structure 31 may be accommodated in the box body 10. The first airbag component 30 may be the same as or similar to the safety airbag structure of the vehicle 200, as long as the airbag structure 31 is inflated with gas and the volume increases when the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas.
[0090] As an example, the first airbag component 30 includes a sensor, a control module, a gas generator and an airbag structure 31. The sensor is used to receive the collision signal. The control module is responsible for processing the collision signal and determining whether to trigger the first airbag component 30 to inflate the airbag structure 31. The gas generator generates a large amount of gas in a very short time to fill the airbag structure 31. The airbag structure 31 is used to protect the battery device 100 after being inflated. The sensor can be set as a collision sensor, which is used to detect the acceleration change during the collision and transmit the signal to the control module. The sensor can include a trigger collision sensor and a protection collision sensor. The trigger collision sensor is used to detect the collision intensity and trigger the airbag structure 31 to inflate. The protection collision sensor is used to prevent the airbag structure 31 from being inflated by mistake. The control module is responsible for processing the sensor signal and determining whether it is necessary to trigger the airbag structure 31 to inflate. The control module can be installed on the center console of the cockpit. The gas generator generates a large amount of gas in a very short time (about 30 milliseconds) to fill the airbag structure 31. The airbag structure 31 can be made of polyethylene terephthalate fabric with good crack resistance, which can be quickly inflated and deployed during a collision, absorb impact energy, and protect the battery device 100. Specifically, when the vehicle 200 collides, the sensor first receives the collision signal. If the collision reaches the specified intensity, the sensor will send a signal to the control module. After the control module processes the collision signal, if the control module decides to trigger the airbag, the control module will send a start signal to the gas generator. The gas generator generates a large amount of gas in a very short time to fill the airbag structure 31 and quickly deploy it. After the airbag structure 31 is hit, the impact force on the battery device 100 is reduced.
[0091] The first airbag component 30 is arranged on the box body 10. The first airbag component 30 can be installed on the box body 10 by bolts, the first airbag component 30 can also be bonded to the box body 10 by glue, and the first airbag component 30 can also be indirectly installed on the box body 10 by a universal adapter. However, the present application is not limited to this. The first airbag component 30 can also be fixed to the box body 10 by other methods, as long as the first airbag component 30 is fixed to the box body 10. The first airbag component 30 is arranged on at least one side of the installation compartment 11. It should be noted that along the circumferential direction of the battery device 100, the battery device 100 has multiple side edges, and the first airbag component 30 is correspondingly arranged at at least one side edge. As an example, the battery device 100 has a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and the first airbag component 30 is arranged on the front side of the installation compartment 11. As another example, the battery device 100 has a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and the first airbag component 30 is arranged on the rear side of the installation compartment 11. As another example, the battery device 100 has a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and the left side of the installation compartment 11 is provided with a first airbag component 30. As another example, the battery device 100 has a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and the right side of the installation compartment 11 is provided with a first airbag component 30. As another example, the battery device 100 has a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and the front side, rear side, left side and right side of the installation compartment 11 are all provided with a first airbag component 30. As another example, the battery device 100 has a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and at least two of the front side, rear side, left side and right side of the installation compartment 11 are provided with a first airbag component 30. As another example, the battery device 100 has a front side, a rear side, a left side and a right side, and at least three of the front side, rear side, left side and right side of the installation compartment 11 are provided with a first airbag component 30. This application is described by taking the front side of the installation compartment 11 as an example in which the first airbag component 30 is provided.
[0092] The first airbag component 30 is configured to be selectively inflated with gas, and the first airbag component 30 can be selectively inflated with gas according to the detection signal of the collision sensor. When the impact of the vehicle 200 does not reach a specified intensity, the first airbag component 30 is not inflated with gas. When the impact of the vehicle 200 reaches a specified intensity, the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, so that the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is inflated. When the vehicle 200 is moving forward, the vehicle 200 is stopped, or the vehicle 200 is moving backward, when the front of the vehicle 200 is hit, for example: when the vehicle 200 is moving forward at a high speed (for example, a driving speed of more than 100 kph) and collides, the first airbag component 30 is triggered to inflate the airbag structure 31, and the airbag structure 31 can absorb at least part of the collision force. Compared with the prior art, the force on the battery device 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the force on the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100, reducing the risk of squeezing the battery cells 20, reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100, and improving the reliability of the battery device 100, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle 200, which is conducive to solving the reliability problem of the battery device 100 when the vehicle 200 is traveling at high speed.
[0093] In the above technical solution, a first airbag component 30 is provided on at least one side of the mounting compartment 11. When the collision of the vehicle 200 reaches a specified intensity, the first airbag component 30 is triggered to inflate the airbag structure 31. The airbag structure 31 can absorb at least part of the collision force. Compared with the prior art, the force on the battery device 100 can be reduced, thereby reducing the force on the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100, reducing the risk of squeezing the battery cells 20, reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100, and improving the reliability of the battery device 100, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle 200, which is beneficial to solving the reliability problem of the battery device 100 when the vehicle 200 is traveling at high speed.
[0094] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the box body 10 includes a plurality of side beams 12 , and the plurality of side beams 12 are connected to enclose a mounting chamber 11 , and at least one side beam 12 is provided with a first airbag component 30 .
[0095] Among them, the box body 10 may include a plurality of side beams 12, which are the side beams 12 of the box body 10. The box body 10 may include two, three, four, five, six, etc. side beams 12, and the plurality of side beams 12 are sequentially connected and enclosed to form an installation bin 11, and an installation bin 11 for installing the battery cell 20 is formed between the plurality of side beams 12. The present application is described by taking the box body 10 including four side beams 12 as an example, and the four side beams 12 are respectively the front side beam 12, the rear side beam 12, the left side beam 12 and the right side beam 12 of the box body 10. At least one side beam 12 is provided with a first airbag component 30, and it can also be understood that one side beam 12 may be provided with a first airbag component 30, or a plurality of side beams 12 may be provided with a first airbag component 30, or each side beam 12 may be provided with a first airbag component 30. The first airbag component 30 is fixedly connected to the corresponding side beam 12. The first airbag component 30 can be installed on the corresponding side beam 12 by bolts, or by gluing to the corresponding side beam 12, or by using a universal adapter to indirectly install on the corresponding side beam 12. The first airbag component 30 is provided on at least one of the front, rear, left and right sides of the installation bin 11. The first airbag component 30 can be provided inside the corresponding side beam 12, or outside the corresponding side beam 12. The present application is described by taking the example that the first airbag component 30 is provided on the front side of the installation bin 11.
[0096] In the above technical solution, the box body 10 includes multiple side beams 12 to realize the arrangement of the installation compartment 11. The first airbag component 30 is provided by at least one side beam 12, so that the first airbag component 30 can be reasonably set. When the vehicle 200 collides, it is beneficial for the first airbag component 30 to absorb energy, and the battery device 100 can have an energy absorption effect in at least one direction where the first airbag component 30 is provided, which is beneficial to improve the collision safety of the battery device 100 in at least one direction, further improve the reliability of the battery device 100, thereby further improving the reliability of the vehicle 200, and more beneficial to solving the reliability problem of the battery device 100 when the vehicle 200 is driving at high speed.
[0097] According to some embodiments of the present application, at least one first airbag component 30 is disposed in a corresponding side beam 12 .
[0098] When the battery device 100 is provided with one, the first airbag component 30 is provided inside the corresponding side beam 12. When the battery device 100 is provided with multiple first airbag components 30, one first airbag component 30 may be provided inside the corresponding side beam 12, multiple first airbag components 30 may be provided inside the corresponding side beam 12, or all first airbag components 30 may be provided inside the corresponding side beam 12. As an example, after the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 provided inside the corresponding side beam 12 is inflated with gas, the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 may be located inside the corresponding side beam 12. As another example, after the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 provided inside the corresponding side beam 12 is inflated with gas, at least part of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 may be located outside the corresponding side beam 12.
[0099] In the above technical solution, at least one first airbag component 30 is arranged in the corresponding side beam 12. When the vehicle 200 does not collide, the first airbag component 30 can be hidden inside the corresponding side beam 12, which is beneficial to reducing the volume of the battery device 100 and making the structure of the battery device 100 more compact, thereby helping to reduce the assembly space of the battery device 100. Moreover, when the vehicle 200 collides, the first airbag component 30 can be detonated to inflate the airbag structure 31, thereby meeting the requirement of reducing the force on the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100.
[0100] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the side beam 12 in which the first airbag component 30 is disposed is formed with an installation space 121 , and the first airbag component 30 is disposed in the installation space 121 .
[0101] As an example, an installation space 121 may be formed in the side beam 12 having the first airbag component 30 disposed therein, and the first airbag component 30 is disposed in the installation space 121. The first airbag component 30 is detonated to inflate the airbag structure 31. When the inflated airbag structure 31 is located in the side beam 12, the energy absorption capacity of the corresponding side beam 12 may be improved. As another example, an open end may be formed at the end of the installation space 121 away from the installation bin 11. When the first airbag component 30 is detonated to inflate the airbag structure 31, the airbag structure 31 may be moved out of the corresponding side beam 12 through the open end of the installation space 121. At this time, at least part of the airbag structure 31 is exposed from the corresponding side beam 12. When the vehicle 200 collides, the airbag structure 31 may be subjected to force prior to the corresponding side beam 12, thereby facilitating the reduction of the force on the box body 10 and reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam 12.
[0102] In the above technical solution, the side beam 12 with the first airbag component 30 inside is provided with an installation space 121, so that the first airbag component 30 can be arranged inside the corresponding side beam 12, and when the inflated airbag structure 31 is located in the side beam 12, the energy absorption capacity of the corresponding side beam 12 can be improved. In addition, after the airbag structure 31 is inflated, the airbag structure 31 moves out of the corresponding side beam 12 so that at least part of the corresponding side beam 12 is exposed. In the event of a collision of the vehicle 200, the airbag structure 31 can be subjected to force before the corresponding side beam 12, which is beneficial to reducing the force on the box body 10, reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam 12, and further reducing the force on the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100, which is beneficial to improving the safety of the battery device 100.
[0103] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall 122 of the installation space 121 is formed with an airbag pop-up hole 123 connected to the installation space 121, and the airbag pop-up hole 123 corresponds to the corresponding first airbag component 30. When the first airbag component 30 is inflated, at least part of the first airbag component 30 moves to the outside of the installation space 121 through the airbag pop-up hole 123.
[0104] Among them, along the arrangement direction of the side beam 12 and the installation bin 11 forming the installation space 121, the side beam 12 forming the installation space 121 can have an inner wall close to the installation bin 11 and an outer wall 122 away from the installation bin 11, the outer wall 122 of the side beam 12 is the outer wall 122 of the installation space 121, the inner wall of the side beam 12 is the inner wall of the installation space 121, the installation space 121 is located between the inner wall and the outer wall 122, the outer wall 122 of the side beam 12 is formed with an airbag pop-up hole 123 connected to the installation space 121, and the airbag pop-up hole 123 is constructed as the open end of the installation space 121 in the above embodiment. Along the arrangement direction of the side beam 12 and the installation bin 11 where the installation space 121 is formed, the airbag pop-up hole 123 is arranged opposite to the corresponding first airbag component 30. When the first airbag component 30 is inflated, it is beneficial for the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 to move out of the corresponding side beam 12 through the airbag pop-up hole 123.
[0105] In the above technical solution, an airbag pop-up hole 123 connected to the installation space 121 is formed through the outer wall 122 of the installation space 121, and the airbag pop-up hole 123 is arranged corresponding to the corresponding first airbag component 30. When the first airbag component 30 is inflated, the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is convenient to move out of the corresponding side beam 12 through the airbag pop-up hole 123, which is beneficial to increase the speed of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 moving out of the corresponding side beam 12. When the vehicle 200 collides, it is beneficial for the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 to move out of the corresponding side beam 12 to participate in energy absorption, which is more beneficial to reducing the force on the box body 10 and the force on the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100.
[0106] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, along the length direction of the side beam 12 where the first airbag component 30 is provided, at least a portion of the first airbag component 30 is located in the middle area of the corresponding side beam 12 .
[0107] Among them, along the length direction of the side beam 12 provided with the first airbag component 30, it can also be understood that along the extending direction of the side beam 12 provided with the first airbag component 30, the side beam 12 provided with the first airbag component 30 has a midline, at least part of the first airbag component 30 is located in the middle area of the corresponding side beam 12, the first airbag component 30 can be partially located in the middle area of the corresponding side beam 12, or the first airbag component 30 can be located entirely in the middle area of the corresponding side beam 12. Further, the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 can be partially located in the middle area of the corresponding side beam 12, or the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 can be located entirely in the middle area of the corresponding side beam 12. The middle area refers to the area covered by a certain distance on both sides of the midline of the side beam 12 along the length direction of the side beam 12. As an example, the middle area refers to the area covered by a length of 50 cm on both sides of the midline of the side beam 12 along the length direction of the side beam 12.
[0108] When the side beam 12 provided with the first airbag component 30 extends along the width direction of the battery device 100, at least part of the first airbag component 30 is located in the middle area of the battery device 100 along the width direction, and further, the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is at least partly located in the middle area of the battery device 100 along the width direction. When the side beam 12 provided with the first airbag component 30 extends along the length direction of the battery device 100, at least part of the first airbag component 30 is located in the middle area of the battery device 100 along the length direction, and further, the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is at least partly located in the middle area of the battery device 100 along the length direction. This application is described by taking the example that the front side beam 12 of the installation compartment 11 is provided with the first airbag component 30.
[0109] In the above technical scheme, by at least partially setting the first airbag component 30 in the middle area of the corresponding side beam 12, after the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is inflated, the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 can cover the middle area of the side beam 12. Taking the front side beam 12 of the installation compartment 11 provided with the first airbag component 30 as an example, when the vehicle 200 is hit head-on, rear-end or offset, it is beneficial for the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 to absorb the collision force to a large extent after being hit, which can further reduce the force on the battery device 100, thereby further reducing the force on the battery cell 20 in the battery device 100, further reducing the deformation and damage risks of the battery cell 20, further improving the reliability of the battery device 100, and thus further improving the reliability of the vehicle 200, which is more conducive to solving the reliability problem of the battery device 100 when the vehicle 200 is driving at high speed.
[0110] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beams 12 and the installation bins 11 , when the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, the orthographic projection of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 have an overlapping area.
[0111] Among them, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beams 12 and the installation bins 11, when the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 have an overlapping area, the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 may overlap in part, or the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 may overlap completely, and at this time, the orthographic projection area of the airbag structure 31 may be less than or equal to the orthographic projection area of the corresponding side beam 12. When the side beam 12 provided with the first airbag component 30 extends along the width direction of the battery device 100, the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 have an overlapping area along the length direction of the battery device 100. When the side beam 12 provided with the first airbag component 30 extends along the length direction of the battery device 100 , the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 have an overlapping area along the width direction of the battery device 100 .
[0112] In the above technical solution, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beam 12 and the installation chamber 11, when the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, the orthographic projection of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 have an overlapping area, and the side beam 12 can reliably support the airbag structure 31 of the corresponding first airbag component 30, which is conducive to improving the supporting effect of the side beam 12 on the airbag structure 31 of the corresponding first airbag component 30, and improving the stability of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 when it is hit by an external force. In addition, the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 can abut the corresponding side beam 12 when it is hit by an external force, which is conducive to improving the force transmission performance between the airbag structure 31 and the corresponding side beam 12, and can transmit part of the collision force to the side beam 12. The collision force can be transmitted to other structural parts of the vehicle 200 along the side beam 12 and the chassis of the vehicle 200, so that the collision force is dispersed and the risk of concentrated force is reduced. In addition, when the vehicle 200 collides, the airbag structure 31 can be stressed before the corresponding side beam 12 , which is more conducive to reducing the stress on the side beam 12 , further reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam 12 , and further reducing the stress on the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100 .
[0113] According to some embodiments of the present application, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beams 12 and the installation bin 11, when the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, the area of the orthographic projection of the first airbag component 30 is S1, and the area of the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 is S2, satisfying: 10%≤S2 / S1≤100%.
[0114] Among them, along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beam 12 and the installation bin 11, when the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, the area of the orthographic projection of the first airbag component 30 is S1, and the area of the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 is S2. The unit of the area of the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 can be reasonably selected and designed according to actual conditions, and the unit of the area of the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 can be reasonably selected and designed according to actual conditions. S2 / S1 can be 10%, 11%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 40%, 43%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 61%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 93%, 95%, 100%, etc.
[0115] When S2 / S1 is less than 10%, the area of the overlapping region between the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 is small. When the airbag structure 31 is subjected to collision force, the force transmission performance between the airbag structure 31 and the corresponding side beam 12 is poor, the supporting effect of the side beam 12 on the corresponding airbag structure 31 is poor, the stability of the airbag structure 31 when subjected to external force collision is poor, and when the vehicle 200 collides, the side beam 12 may be subjected to force before the corresponding airbag structure 31. Therefore, by satisfying 10%≤S2 / S1≤100%, the area of the overlapping region between the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 is appropriate, and when the airbag structure 31 is subjected to collision force, it is more conducive to improving the force transmission performance between the airbag structure 31 and the corresponding side beam 12, and the side beam 12 can more reliably support the airbag structure 31 of the corresponding first airbag component 30, which is more conducive to improving the supporting effect of the side beam 12 on the airbag structure 31 of the corresponding first airbag component 30, further improving the stability of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 when subjected to external force collision, and, when the vehicle 200 collides, it is conducive to the airbag structure 31 being subjected to force first rather than the corresponding side beam 12, thereby being more conducive to reducing the force on the side beam 12, further reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam 12 under force, and further reducing the force on the battery cells 20 in the battery device 100.
[0116] In the above technical scheme, by 10%≤S2 / S1≤100%, the area of the overlapping region between the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 is appropriate. When the airbag structure 31 is subjected to collision force, it is more conducive to improving the force transmission performance between the airbag structure 31 and the corresponding side beam 12. The side beam 12 can more reliably support the airbag structure 31 of the corresponding first airbag component 30, which is more conducive to improving the supporting effect of the side beam 12 on the airbag structure 31 of the corresponding first airbag component 30, further improving the stability of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 when subjected to external force collision, and, when the vehicle 200 collides, it is conducive to the airbag structure 31 being subjected to force first before the corresponding side beam 12, thereby being more conducive to reducing the force on the side beam 12, further reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam 12 under force, and further reducing the force on the battery cell 20 in the battery device 100.
[0117] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, along the height direction of the battery device 100 , the height dimension of the first airbag component 30 is greater than or equal to the height dimension of the corresponding side beam 12 .
[0118] When the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, along the height direction of the battery device 100, the height direction of the battery device 100 refers to Figure 4In the Z direction, the height dimension of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is greater than the height dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, or the height dimension of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is equal to the height dimension of the corresponding side beam 12. When the height dimension of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is greater than the height dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, the upper end height of the airbag structure 31 is higher than the upper surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, and the lower end height of the airbag structure 31 is lower than the lower surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, or the upper end height of the airbag structure 31 is higher than the upper surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, and the lower end height of the airbag structure 31 is higher than the lower surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, or the upper end height of the airbag structure 31 is lower than the upper surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, and the lower end height of the airbag structure 31 is lower than the lower surface height of the corresponding side beam 12. When the height dimension of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is equal to the height dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, the upper end height of the airbag structure 31 can be equal to the upper surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, and the lower end height of the airbag structure 31 can be equal to the lower surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, or the upper end height of the airbag structure 31 is higher than the upper surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, and the lower end height of the airbag structure 31 is higher than the lower surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, or the upper end height of the airbag structure 31 is lower than the upper surface height of the corresponding side beam 12, and the lower end height of the airbag structure 31 is lower than the lower surface height of the corresponding side beam 12.
[0119] In the above technical scheme, when the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, the height dimension of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is greater than or equal to the height dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, which is conducive to making the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12 have an overlapping area along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beam 12 and the installation bin 11. The side beam 12 can more reliably support the airbag structure 31 of the corresponding first airbag component 30, further improving the stability of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 when it is hit by external force, and the airbag structure 31 can reliably block the corresponding side beam 12. When the vehicle 200 collides, it is more conducive to the airbag structure 31 to be subjected to force before the corresponding side beam 12, thereby more conducive to reducing the force on the side beam 12, further reducing the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam 12 under force, and further reducing the force on the battery cell 20 in the battery device 100.
[0120] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, along the length direction of the corresponding side beam 12 , the length dimension of the first airbag component 30 is less than or equal to the length dimension of the corresponding side beam 12 .
[0121] Wherein, when the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, along the length direction of the corresponding side beam 12, the length dimension of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is smaller than the length dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, the length dimension of the airbag structure 31 may be greater than half of the length dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, or the length dimension of the first airbag component 30 is equal to the length dimension of the corresponding side beam 12. When the length dimension of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is smaller than the length dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, along the length direction of the corresponding side beam 12, the airbag structure 31 may be located between the two ends of the corresponding side beam 12. When the length dimension of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is equal to the length dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, along the length direction of the corresponding side beam 12, the two ends of the airbag structure 31 may be aligned with the two ends of the corresponding side beam 12 respectively.
[0122] In the above technical scheme, when the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is inflated with gas, along the length direction of the corresponding side beam 12, the length dimension of the first airbag component 30 is less than or equal to the length dimension of the corresponding side beam 12, and along the arrangement direction of the corresponding side beam 12 and the installation bin 11, it is beneficial to make the airbag structure 31 cover the corresponding side beam 12, and it is beneficial to increase the overlapping area of the orthographic projection of the airbag structure 31 and the orthographic projection of the corresponding side beam 12. The side beam 12 can more reliably support the airbag structure 31 of the corresponding first airbag component 30, further improve the stability of the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 when it is hit by external force, and the airbag structure 31 can more reliably block the corresponding side beam 12. When the vehicle 200 collides, it is more beneficial for the airbag structure 31 to be stressed before the corresponding side beam 12, thereby more beneficial to reduce the stress on the side beam 12, further reduce the risk of deformation of the corresponding side beam 12 under stress, and further reduce the stress on the battery cell 20 in the battery device 100.

In addition, by providing the first airbag component 30 at least one of the two first side beams 124, after the airbag structure 31 of the first airbag component 30 is inflated, the airbag structure 31 can absorb at least part of the collision force, and the collision force not absorbed by the airbag structure 31 can be transmitted to the first side beam 124, and the collision force is transmitted to the two second side beams 125 through the first side beam 124. The collision force can be transmitted to the box body 10 and other structural parts of the vehicle 200 along the side beam 12, so that the collision force is dispersed, and the risk of concentrated force is reduced, which can further reduce the force on the battery cell 20 in the battery device 100, further reduce the risk of squeezing the battery cell 20 in the battery device 100, further reduce the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cell 20 in the battery device 100, further improve the reliability of the battery device 100, and further improve the reliability of the vehicle 200.

[0127] Among them, a partition beam 13 may be provided in the installation bin 11, and the partition beam 13 may separate the installation bin 11 into an energy bin 131 and a buffer bin 132. The energy bin 131 and the buffer bin 132 are adjacent, and a plurality of battery cells 20 are arranged in the energy bin 131. There is at least one buffer bin 132, and a buffer bin 132 is provided between at least one first airbag component 30 and the energy bin 131. As an example, when there is one buffer bin 132, a buffer bin 132 is provided between a first airbag component 30 and the energy bin 131. As another example, when there are multiple buffer bins 132, multiple buffer bins 132 are all located between a first airbag component 30 and the energy bin 131. As another example, when there are multiple buffer bins 132, there are multiple first airbag components 30, and multiple buffer bins 132 are respectively located between multiple first airbag components 30 and the energy bin 131, and multiple buffer bins 132 and multiple first airbag components 30 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. As another example, when there are multiple buffer bins 132, there are multiple first airbag components 30, and multiple buffer bins 132 are respectively located between multiple first airbag components 30 and energy bins 131, and multiple buffer bins 132 are arranged between at least one first airbag component 30 and energy bin 131. This application is described by taking the example that one first airbag component 30 is arranged, and one buffer bin 132 is arranged between the first airbag component 30 and the energy bin 131. It should be noted that the buffer bin 132 is defined by the partition beam 13 and multiple side beams 12, and the shape of the buffer bin 132 can be reasonably selected and designed according to actual conditions, and is not specifically limited here. The shape of the partition beam 13 can be specifically designed according to the shape of the buffer bin 132.
[0128] In the above technical solution, a buffer bin 132 is provided between at least one first airbag component 30 and an energy bin 131. The buffer bin 132 is a collapse space, and the buffer bin 132 has a buffering effect. When the corresponding side beam 12 provided with the first airbag component 30 is deformed by the collision force, the corresponding side beam 12 can collapse and deform toward the buffer bin 132, thereby reducing the risk of the side beam 12 deforming and squeezing the battery cell 20, further reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cell 20, further improving the reliability of the battery device 100, thereby further improving the reliability of the vehicle 200, and being more conducive to solving the reliability problem of the battery device 100 when the vehicle 200 is traveling at high speed.
[0129] According to some embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the energy compartment 131 and the buffer compartment 132 are arranged along the length direction of the battery device 100 .

[0132] In the above technical solution, the energy bin 131 and the buffer bin 132 are arranged along the length direction of the battery device 100. When the battery device 100 is subjected to a collision force or an offset collision force along the length direction of the battery device 100, the buffer bin 132 can effectively provide a collapse space for the deformation of the corresponding side beam 12, thereby effectively reducing the risk of the side beam 12 deforming and squeezing the battery cell 20, further reducing the risk of deformation and damage of the battery cell 20, further improving the reliability of the battery device 100, thereby further improving the reliability of the vehicle 200, and being more conducive to solving the reliability problem of the battery device 100 when the vehicle 200 is driving at high speed, thereby making the arrangement of the energy bin 131 and the buffer bin 132 reasonable.

An energy bin 131 can be formed between the partition beam 13 and one of the first side beams 124, and a buffer bin 132 can be formed between the partition beam 13 and another first side beam 124. As an example, the first side beam 124 located at the front side is provided with the first airbag component 30, the energy bin 131 is formed between the partition beam 13 and the first side beam 124 located at the rear side, and the buffer bin 132 is formed between the partition beam 13 and the first side beam 124 located at the front side.
