Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, in particular to an installation structure of a new energy vehicle battery pack. Background Art

[0002] The main noise sources of traditional vehicles are mainly powertrain noises. At the medium and low frequency stages, some powertrain accessory noises and wind noises are masked by the powertrain noises. The vibration and noise sources of electric vehicles are relatively scattered, lacking the masking effect of engine noise. The main vibration source of vehicle vibration and noise is the road surface unevenness excitation. Therefore, the road noise component in the vehicle is prominent, affecting the customer experience of electric vehicles, and thus directly affecting product sales and brand image. The battery pack is arranged on the longitudinal beam of the lower body of the electric vehicle. And under the current technical conditions, to increase the cruising range, the mass of the battery pack is getting larger and larger, which will greatly change the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle body. The battery pack, as a mass point, is connected to the vehicle body longitudinal beam through a flexible mounting bracket, as Figure 1 shown. Therefore, the role of the battery pack is similar to that of a dynamic vibration absorber. The resonance principle of the dynamic vibration absorber is to transfer the vibration energy from the vehicle body to the mass point near the resonance frequency, thereby reducing the vehicle body vibration and interior noise. According to the vibration isolation principle, to reduce the reduction of the vehicle body vibration energy by the battery pack, it is required that the dynamic stiffness of the battery pack mounting point on the vehicle body side is large enough to effectively attenuate the vibration. Therefore, effectively improving the dynamic stiffness of the battery pack body mounting point is of great significance for improving the NVH performance of the whole vehicle.

[0003] The existing technology ignores the investigation of the dynamic stiffness of the vehicle body side of the battery pack mounting point, and only focuses on the investigation of the static stiffness. The so-called static stiffness refers to the ability to resist deformation under static load, generally measured by the deformation of the structure under static load; the so-called dynamic stiffness refers to the ability to resist deformation under dynamic load, generally measured by the natural frequency of the structure. The road surface excitation can be understood as random vibration input. The vibration energy is transmitted to the battery pack, and then the battery pack is transmitted to the vehicle body, which is a typical dynamic load. At the same time, combined with the actual vehicle tuning, simply investigating the static stiffness of the battery pack body side mounting point cannot comprehensively avoid the NVH risk of the whole vehicle. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing technology, the utility model provides an installation structure of a new energy vehicle battery pack to achieve the purpose of meeting the dynamic stiffness effect and improving the NVH performance of the whole vehicle.

The side part of the battery pack body is located directly below the body longitudinal beam, and fixing holes are provided on the side part of the battery pack body corresponding to the installation structure. The fixing holes are fixedly arranged in cooperation with the installation structure through fasteners.

[0007] Furthermore:

[0008] The upper part of the body longitudinal beam is welded to the body floor.

[0009] The installation structure is an installation threaded sleeve fixed inside the body longitudinal beam.

[0010] Installation strengthening plates are provided inside the body longitudinal beam corresponding to the installation structure.

[0011] The battery pack body includes a battery module and a battery bracket. The battery module is fixed above the battery bracket, and the fixing holes are provided on the side of the battery bracket.

[0012] The installation threaded sleeves inside the body longitudinal beam are a group arranged side by side at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

The bottom is welded to the inner bottom surface of the body longitudinal beam in a fitting manner, and the side part is welded to the inner side wall of the body longitudinal beam in a fitting manner.

[0026] The body longitudinal beam 7 is a bent longitudinal beam with an upper opening. Connecting flanges are provided at both sides of the top of the body longitudinal beam. The two connecting flanges are welded to the lower surface of the body floor in a fitting manner. The installation structure is an installation threaded sleeve 9 fixed inside the body longitudinal beam. The battery pack body is fixed by bolts, and the connection is simple.

[0027] An installation reinforcement plate 8 is provided inside the body longitudinal beam corresponding to the installation structure. The installation threaded sleeves inside the body longitudinal beam are a group arranged side by side at intervals along the vehicle longitudinal direction. The multi-point installation structure is provided inside the body longitudinal beam, and a reinforcement structure is provided inside the body longitudinal beam corresponding to the installation points, effectively improving the stiffness and strength of the installation points; effectively suppressing the transmission of vibration energy of the battery pack to the vehicle interior, which is of great significance for improving the NVH performance of the whole vehicle.

[0028] The installation and fixing structures on both sides of the battery pack body are the same and are symmetrically arranged. Four installation points are provided on each side of the battery pack body, that is, four installation points are provided inside the body longitudinal beam on each side, namely mounting point Ⅰ 3, mounting point Ⅱ 4, mounting point Ⅲ 5, and mounting point Ⅳ 6.

[0031] AsFigure 2 As shown, the reinforcement plate of the battery pack body side mounting point and the threaded sleeve of the battery pack body side mounting point are connected together by welding, and then further lapped with the vehicle body longitudinal beam through welding points. This structure forms a cavity in the longitudinal beam, effectively improving the stiffness and strength of this point. In summary, this patent designs a new mounting point structure in the vehicle body side longitudinal beam.
