Description

Technical Field

[0002] As an important part of the battery system, the material selection, design and manufacturing process of the power battery casing have a crucial impact on the performance, safety and life of the battery. In the current development of battery technology, sheet metal, as a common material for power battery casings, is highly favored due to its unique physical and chemical properties.

[0003] For example, a Chinese patent with a publication number of CN208271956U discloses a square power battery casing, comprising: a casing body, the casing body is an integrally formed component formed by the side surface and the bottom surface; the casing body is also provided with an opening, the opening is arranged opposite to the bottom surface; the bottom surface of the casing body is provided with a groove recessed toward the inside of the casing body, a raised table is formed inside the casing body corresponding to the groove, and the top surface of the raised table is a plane; the height of the raised table recessed toward the inside of the casing body exceeds the arc angle height of the bottom surface of the casing body.

[0004] The above-mentioned method provides a raised table on the bottom surface of the square power battery shell instead of an insulating sheet, which has better thermal conductivity.

Although the raised table structure helps to improve the heat dissipation performance, the efficiency of relying solely on the shell for heat dissipation is still limited, which is not conducive to battery operation.

The polycarbonate thin layer 92 can enhance the overall impact resistance. The elastic layer 93 adopts a material with excellent elasticity and recovery properties, such as polyurethane or acrylate, as a buffer layer to effectively disperse and reduce impact force. The polycarbonate thin layer 92 and the elastic layer 93 are located between the first aluminum alloy plate 91 and the second aluminum alloy plate 94, so they can effectively improve the battery's impact resistance and extend its service life.

[0025] refer to Figure 2-3 The ventilation component 6 includes a first air hole 61, which is opened at the lower end of the first sheet metal 1. Second air holes 63 are opened on both sides of the first sheet metal 1 away from the first air hole 61, and the first air hole 61 is connected to the second air hole 63.

A screw rod 123 is rotatably connected inside the slide groove 122, and one end of the screw rod 123 is fixedly connected to a torsion block 126. By setting the positioning Component 12, the plug 11 of the second sheet metal 2 is inserted into the slot 10 of the first sheet metal 1, and then the torsion block 126 is rotated, the torsion block 126 drives the screw 123 to rotate, so that the positioning rod 125 on the outer surface of the screw 123 moves, and the slider 124 slides in the slide groove 122, so that the positioning rod 125 moves and is inserted into the plug 11, so that the plug 11 is fixed to the slot 10, thereby fixing the second sheet metal 2 to the first sheet metal 1. This design facilitates the connection between the first sheet metal 1 and the second sheet metal 2 and the subsequent disassembly.

[0028] Principle and advantages of use: put the battery pack 3 into the first sheet metal 1, four positioning angle steels 7 limit the battery pack 3 to prevent the battery pack 3 from being squeezed by a slight deformation of the shell, thereby improving the safety of the battery.
