[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the housing assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a side beam 1 , a middle cross beam 2 and a transition structure 3 .

[0042] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing assembly 100 is used for a battery pack, the middle cross beam 2 is arranged in the side beam 1, and the length direction of the middle cross beam 2 (such as Figure 4 One end of the third direction (as shown) is connected to the side beam 1, which can increase the force transmission effect between the middle cross beam 2 and the side beam 1, increase the overall strength of the shell assembly 100, and enhance the overall strength of the battery pack.

The thickness direction of the transfer plate 31 (such as Figure 4 One end face of the housing assembly 100 (in the third direction shown in the figure) is connected to the side beam 1, and a limiting protrusion 32 is provided on the other end face, and the limiting protrusion 32 is sleeved outside the middle cross beam 2. The transfer structure 3 can absorb the abnormal deformation of the battery pack caused by impact or shock during testing and daily use, strengthen the supporting capacity of the side beam 1 and the middle cross beam 2, and thus reduce the risk of cracking caused by stress concentration at the transfer structure 3. At the same time, the transfer structure 3 does not interfere with the arrangement of other structures inside the housing assembly 100, and the transfer structure 3 does not interfere with the internal structure arrangement of the battery pack.

[0044] According to the shell assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, by setting the adapter structure 3 at the connection position between the middle cross beam 2 and the side beam 1, one end face of the adapter plate 31 in the thickness direction is connected to the side beam 1, and a limiting protrusion 32 is provided on the other end face, and the limiting protrusion 32 is sleeved outside the middle cross beam 2. The adapter structure 3 can absorb the abnormal deformation of the battery pack caused by collision or impact during testing and daily use, strengthen the supporting capacity of the side beam 1 and the middle cross beam 2, and thus reduce the risk of cracking caused by stress concentration at the adapter structure 3. At the same time, the adapter structure 3 does not interfere with the arrangement of other structures inside the shell assembly 100, and the adapter structure 3 does not interfere with the internal structure arrangement of the battery pack.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the adapter plate 31 is welded to the side beam 1 to avoid excessive thermal impact on the material caused by the welding of the original middle beam 2 and the side beam 1, thereby avoiding affecting the material strength of the middle beam 2 and the side beam 1.

Figure 3 Two first limit blocks 331 are arranged opposite to each other, so that two, four, or six positions are added to limit the middle cross beam 2 along the length direction of the cavity 21, so that the position of the middle cross beam 2 is more reliable. Two second limit blocks 332 are arranged in each cavity 21, and the second limit blocks 332 are arranged along the length direction of the adapter plate 31 (such as Figure 3 The first direction shown in FIG. 1 extends along the width direction of the cavity 21 (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 3 The second direction shown in the figure), the two second limit blocks 332 are arranged opposite to each other, so that two, four, or six or more limit positions for the middle cross beam 2 are added along the width direction of the cavity 21, so that the position of the middle cross beam 2 is more reliable.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figures 11 - 13As shown, the transfer structure 3 further includes a first connection portion 34 and a second connection portion 35, wherein the first connection portion 34 connects two opposite first limit blocks 331 into an integral part, and the second connection portion 35 connects two opposite second limit blocks 332 into an integral part, and the first connection portion 34 and the second connection portion 35 are arranged alternately.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, along the thickness direction of the adapter plate 31, the minimum distance g2 between the middle beam 2 and the adapter plate 31 satisfies: 0.1mm≤g2≤0.5mm. It is understandable that the minimum distance g2 between the middle beam 2 and the adapter plate 31 can be 0.1mm, 0.15mm, 0.2mm, 0.25mm, 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, 0.45mm or 0.5mm. The minimum distance g2 between the middle beam 2 and the adapter plate 31 is not less than 0.1mm, which can ensure that the limit block 33 maintains a certain distance from the middle beam 2, which is convenient for the assembly of the middle beam 2 and the adapter structure 3; the minimum distance g2 between the middle beam 2 and the adapter plate 31 is not greater than 0.5mm, which can ensure the assembly reliability of the middle beam 2 and the adapter structure 3 and avoid the separation of the middle beam 2 and the adapter structure 3.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, along the thickness direction of the adapter plate 31, the thickness dimension t1 of the adapter plate 31 is ≥ 4 mm. It is understandable that the thickness dimension t1 of the adapter plate 31 can be 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, etc. The thickness dimension t1 of the adapter plate 31 is not less than 4 mm, which can ensure the strength of the adapter plate 31 and the limiting effect on the middle cross beam 2, increase the overall strength of the adapter structure 3, and increase the overall strength of the shell assembly 100.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, along the thickness direction of the adapter plate 31, the height dimension h of the limit protrusion 32 satisfies h≥10 mm. It can be understood that the height dimension h of the limit protrusion 32 can be 10 mm, 10.5 mm, 11 mm, 11.5 mm, 12 mm, 12.5 mm, 13 mm, 13.5 mm, 14 mm, 14.5 mm, 15 mm, etc. The height dimension h of the limit protrusion 32 not less than 10 mm can ensure the strength of the limit protrusion 32 and the limit effect on the middle cross beam 2, increase the overall strength of the adapter structure 3, and increase the overall strength of the housing assembly 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 As shown, along the thickness direction of the adapter plate 31, the wall thickness t of the middle cross beam 2 satisfies 1 mm≤t≤2 mm. It can be understood that the wall thickness t of the middle cross beam 2 can be 1 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm or 2 mm. The wall thickness t of the middle cross beam 2 not less than 1 mm can ensure the strength of the middle cross beam 2 and increase the overall strength of the housing assembly 100; the wall thickness t of the middle cross beam 2 not greater than 2 mm can avoid a relatively large weight of the middle cross beam 2, can reduce the overall weight of the housing assembly 100, and can reduce the overall weight of the battery pack.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 As shown, along the width direction of the adapter plate 31, the minimum distance a between the limit protrusion 32 and the outer peripheral wall of the adapter plate 31 satisfies a≥t1. While ensuring a certain distance between the limit protrusion 32 and the adapter plate 31, the dimension of the housing assembly 100 along the width direction of the adapter plate 31 can be reduced, and the general adaptability of the housing assembly 100 can be increased.

It can be understood that the thickness dimension t2 of the limit protrusion 32 is not less than twice the wall thickness t of the middle cross beam 2, which can increase the strength of the limit protrusion 32, increase the overall strength of the adapter structure 3, and increase the overall strength of the housing assembly 100.
