DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and effects of the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-3, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a power battery aluminum shell, including an aluminum shell body 1, a top cover 2, a rubber step frame 5 and extended bolts 7. A step frame groove 4 is opened at the upper edge of the inner part of the aluminum shell body 1. The rubber step frame 5 is fixed inside the step frame groove 4 by epoxy resin glue. The top cover 2 is clamped inside the upper end of the aluminum shell body 1 and horizontally placed on the upper side of the rubber step frame 5. Bolt slot holes 6 are respectively penetrated and opened between the left and right sides of the front end of the top cover 2 and the left and right sides of the front end of the aluminum shell body 1. A plurality of extended bolts 7 are provided. Two second heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 9 are horizontally opened at the upper end of the top cover 2. A plurality of third heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 10 are respectively opened from left to right at the front and rear ends of the aluminum shell body 1. This design solves the problem that the original device installs the top cover and the shell only by a limiting structure, and the installation sealing performance and firmness are both average.
[0019] As the first embodiment of the present utility model: electrode heads 3 are respectively penetrated and installed at the left and right sides of the upper end of the top cover 2. A plurality of extended bolts 7 are respectively screwed at the front and rear ends of the two bolt slot holes 6 through the thread principle. By adding a plurality of extended bolts 7, when the top cover 2 is clamped inside the upper end of the aluminum shell body 1 and horizontally placed on the upper side of the rubber step frame 5, it can be fixed, so that the top cover 2 and the aluminum shell body 1 will not separate.
[0020] A plurality of first heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 8 are equidistantly opened between the two second heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 9. By adding the two second heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 9, the weight of the top cover 2 can be reduced, and the same is true for the opening of the plurality of first heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 8. At the same time, the contact area between the upper end of the top cover 2 and the outside is increased, achieving a faster heat dissipation effect. A plurality of ventilation holes 11 are respectively penetrated and opened between a plurality of adjacent third heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 10. A plurality of fourth heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 12 are respectively opened at the left and right sides of the aluminum shell body 1. By adding the plurality of third heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 10 and the plurality of fourth heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 12, the total weight of the aluminum shell body 1 itself can be reduced, and at the same time, the contact area between the surface of the aluminum shell body 1 and the outside is increased, enabling it to cooperate with the plurality of ventilation holes 11 to dissipate heat faster.
[0021] As the second embodiment of the present utility model: the top cover 2 is clamped inside the upper end of the aluminum shell body 1 and horizontally placed on the upper side of the rubber step frame 5. Then, a plurality of extended bolts 7 are respectively screwed at the front and rear ends of the two bolt slot holes 6 through the thread principle, and the installation and fixation between the top cover 2 and the aluminum shell body 1 can be completed. By adding the two second heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 9 and the plurality of first heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 8, the weight of the top cover 2 can be reduced, and the contact area between the upper end of the top cover 2 and the outside can also be increased, achieving a faster heat dissipation effect. By adding the plurality of third heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 10 and the plurality of fourth heat dissipation and weight reduction grooves 12, the total weight of the aluminum shell body 1 itself can be reduced, and at the same time, the contact area between the surface of the aluminum shell body 1 and the outside is increased. After ventilation in the plurality of ventilation holes 11, it will quickly take away the heat on the surface of the aluminum shell body 1, achieving the purpose of rapid heat dissipation.
