[0024] The utility model has a reasonable design of the battery pack installation structure for trucks. The battery pack is installed on the frame longitudinal beam by means of the battery pack lifting ear and the convex welding nut structure, so that the frame longitudinal beam and the battery pack are integrated, the Z-direction height of the longitudinal beam is increased, the cross-sectional moment of inertia is increased, and the overall bending and torsional stiffness of the micro truck model is increased; and the connection structure is simple and the cost is relatively low.
[0025] A pair of frame longitudinal beams 1 are connected via a set of frame cross beams 3 to form a frame structure. The battery pack 2 is located between the pair of frame longitudinal beams and is protected by the side frame longitudinal beams.
[0026] The frame longitudinal beam 1 is a cavity structure with an opening at the top, and the projection welding nut structure is arranged on the bottom of the cavity structure; that is, the projection welding nut structure is located at the bottom of the cavity, and the structure is compact.
[0027] The projection welding nut structure includes a nut plate 4 and a projection welding nut 5 fixed on the nut plate. The nut plate and the bottom of the cavity structure are welded and connected in an integrated manner, which effectively improves the structural strength.
