Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power batteries, and in particular, to a battery box, a battery pack and an electrical equipment. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous development of social economy and the continuous innovation of science and technology, power batteries are widely used in electric vehicles due to their advantages of high voltage, high energy, small volume, wide operating temperature range, etc. At the same time, the safety problem of batteries has become the focus of social attention. After the battery cells in the battery pack are thermally out of control, high-temperature and high-pressure gases and molten substances will be generated, which will have an adverse impact on other components in the battery box, such as electrical connection buses, low-voltage wire harnesses, and other battery cells. Structures are easily affected, and accidents such as thermal runaway or arcing of adjacent battery cells are likely to occur. In order to prevent the occurrence of the above accidents, it is usually necessary to set an explosion-proof valve on the battery pack. When high-temperature and high-pressure gases and molten substances appear in the box body, the explosion-proof valve can connect the inside of the battery box with the outside, so as to discharge the high-temperature and high-pressure gases and molten substances from the battery box.
[0003] The battery cells in the battery box are densely arranged and closely fit on each surface inside the battery box, resulting in poor air permeability of each surface in contact with the battery cells inside the battery box. In particular, the anti-expansion beam inside the battery box is used to withstand the expansion force when the battery cells expand (the main direction of the expansion force is usually the same as the direction in which multiple battery cells are arranged in sequence). The fitting surface on the anti-expansion beam is in direct contact with the battery cells, resulting in poor air permeability of the fitting surface. The air ducts used to communicate with the explosion-proof valve are usually opened on one or more fitting surfaces inside the battery box, resulting in poor connectivity between the explosion-proof valve and the outside of the battery box (the discharge performance of high-temperature and high-pressure gases and molten substances is also poor). Sticking or blocking problems often occur under the working conditions where the explosion-proof valve needs to be opened, which in turn leads to poor safety of the battery pack.

[0087] It is worth noting that, according to actual requirements for the fixation of the explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30, the fixation and support strength requirements of the first end 21 on the box structure 10, and space limitations within the accommodation cavity 11 and other factors, one or more of the above-mentioned first fastener 60, second fastener, and third fastener can be comprehensively considered and selected for use.
[0088] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the battery box further includes a sealing ring 70. The explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30 has a sealing installation groove 31. At least a part of the sealing ring 70 is arranged in the sealing installation groove 31 and is in limit cooperation with the inner wall of the sealing installation groove 31; wherein, the sealing ring 70 and the surface of the explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30 having the sealing installation groove 31 are respectively in contact with the outside of the box structure 10 to jointly seal the air vent 13.
[0089] By setting the sealing ring 70 to cooperate with the inner wall of the sealing installation groove 31, the reliable sealing of the air vent 13 is achieved.
[0090] As Figure 1 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the battery box further includes at least one load-bearing slot 80 and at least one anti-expansion beam 90; the load-bearing slot 80 is fixed on the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 11 and is connected to one end of an anti-expansion beam 90 to support the anti-expansion beam 90; the anti-expansion beam 90 has a second fitting surface 91 that abuts and cooperates with the battery cell 110, and the second fitting surface 91 is a flat surface.
[0091] By providing the load-bearing slot 80, reliable fixation of the anti-expansion beam 90 is achieved; by providing the second fitting surface 91 as a flat surface, reliable restraint of the battery cell 110 is achieved, and it is more convenient for the anti-expansion beam 90 to uniformly bear the expansion force of the battery cell.
[0092] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the load-bearing slot 80 includes a slot base body 81 and a slot flange 82 provided on the slot base body 81. The slot base body 81 is connected to one end of an anti-expansion beam 90; the slot flange 82 is fixed to the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 11 by welding; wherein, the slot base body 81 is detachably connected to one end of the anti-expansion beam 90 by threaded connection or riveting.
[0093] By providing the slot flange 82, it is convenient for the load-bearing slot 80 to be fixed to the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 11 by welding, and the connection strength after welding is ensured to meet the actual use requirements.
[0094] As Figure 1 shown, there are multiple anti-expansion beams 90, including a first beam 92 and a second beam 93. The extending direction of the first beam 92 is parallel to the extending direction of the second beam 93 and is perpendicular to the extending direction of the load-bearing beam 20; the first beam 92 is connected to the second end 22 of the load-bearing beam 20 far from the first end 21 to support the second end 22.
[0095] With this arrangement, the first beam 92, the second beam 93, and the load-bearing beam 20 together form a cross-shaped structure, thereby ensuring reliable limiting and support for the battery cell 110.
[0096] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the load-bearing beam 20 passes through the second beam 93 to ensure the integrity of the load-bearing beam 20.
[0097] As Figure 1 and Figure 10 shown, the battery box further includes a cross-connection structure 100. The cross-connection structure 100 is provided at the intersection of the load-bearing beam 20 and the second beam 93 and is respectively connected to the parts of the second beam 93 on both sides of the intersection and the parts of the load-bearing beam 20 on both sides of the intersection, so that the second beam 93 bears the load-bearing beam 20; wherein, the cross-connection structure 100 is arranged to avoid the second fitting surface 91.
[0098] By setting the cross-connection structure 100, the smoothness and integrity of the force conduction between the second beam 93 and the load-bearing beam 20 are ensured; by setting the cross-connection structure 100 to avoid the second fitting surface 91, the second fitting surface 91 is made flat and smooth, which is convenient for subsequent close fitting with the battery cell 110.
[0099] Optionally, the part of the box structure 10 with the first fitting surface 12 is made of steel material or aluminum alloy material, and the other parts are made of steel material; the load-bearing beam 20 is made of aluminum alloy material; and / or, the battery box further includes at least one anti-expansion beam 90, the anti-expansion beam 90 has a second fitting surface 91 that abuts and cooperates with the battery cell 110, and the anti-expansion beam 90 is made of aluminum alloy material.
[0100] By setting the mixed use of steel material and aluminum material, compared with the battery box made of all-aluminum material, the cost is reduced, and a balance is achieved among the requirements of overall strength, stiffness and weight.
[0101] As Figure 1 、 Figure 8 and Figure 13 shown, the box structure 10 further includes a rear beam 15, the rear beam 15 is fixedly arranged on the box frame 14, and the space surrounded by the two together forms a receiving cavity 11; the first fitting surface 12 is located on the rear beam 15; the explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30 is arranged on the side of the rear beam 15 facing away from the receiving cavity 11; the rear beam 15 and the box frame 14 are made of roll-pressed steel and / or stamping steel.
[0102] Such a setting not only ensures the simplicity of the box structure 10, which is convenient for subsequent processing, but also effectively reduces the production cost.
[0103] The rear beam 15 in the present utility model should not only resist the expansion force generated during the expansion of the battery cell 110, but also ensure a reliable sealing interface for the bottom guard plate (i.e., the bottom plate below the battery pack) and the box cover (i.e., the cover plate above the battery pack) of the battery pack throughout the life cycle. Therefore, the strength of the rear beam 15 needs to be strong enough to ensure small displacement and the sealing surface is not affected by the force when resisting the expansion force.
[0104] It should be noted that: as Figure 5 and Figure 13 shown, the rear beam 15 forms a protection space 151 outside the receiving cavity 11 through bending processing, and the explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30 is arranged in the protection space 151 to prevent external impact from directly acting on the explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30; by setting the protection space 151, the protection of the explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30 is realized.
[0105] In addition, it should be elaborated in detail that in a specific embodiment of the present utility model, some materials, structural designs, and processing technologies with relatively low costs can be considered for processing other parts of the battery box (such as structures other than the box body frame 14, the rear beam 15, and the anti-expansion beam 90) to achieve the effect of cost reduction on the premise of meeting the requirements of strength and stiffness. The following are some selectable technical solutions: 1. Use high-strength plastics or polymer matrix composite materials.

Design optimization in terms of structure: When designing the battery box body, the utilization rate of materials can be improved and the cost can be reduced through optimizing the structural design. For example, honeycomb structures, grid structures, or laminated structures can be adopted to improve the stiffness and strength while reducing the material usage; 3. Optimization of manufacturing processes: Use manufacturing processes with relatively low costs, such as injection molding, compression molding, or hot pressing, etc. These processes can reduce the production cost while maintaining a relatively high production efficiency; 4. Optimization of connection processes: In the assembly process of the battery box body, connection technologies with relatively low costs can be considered, such as bonding, riveting, or welding, etc. These connection technologies can reduce the connection cost while ensuring the strength and stiffness of the box body; 5. Composite use with other materials: It can be considered to composite high-strength plastics or polymer matrix composite materials with other low-cost materials (such as glass fiber reinforced plastics, carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics, etc.) to further improve the performance of the battery pack box body and reduce the cost. Through the above measures, the cost can be reduced on the premise of meeting the requirements of strength and stiffness of the battery box body.

[0107] The battery pack proposed by the present utility model has high safety. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas and molten substances generated in the accommodation cavity 11 can be discharged smoothly, and external gas can also enter the accommodation cavity 11 smoothly to balance the air pressure.
[0108] As Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the first bonding surface 12 is perpendicular to the row arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 110, and the extending direction of the load-bearing beam 20 is parallel to the row arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 110; alternatively, the first bonding surface 12 is perpendicular to the column arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 110, and the extending direction of the load-bearing beam 20 is parallel to the column arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 110.
[0109] This setting ensures reliable load-bearing of the expansion force of the battery cells.
[0110] The present utility model further provides an electrical device, which includes the above-mentioned battery pack.
[0111] As Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown, the electrical device further includes a mobile vehicle frame, and the battery box further includes a mounting beam 120. The mounting beam 120 is arranged outside the box structure 10 and is fixedly connected to the box structure 10; the mounting beam 120 is detachably connected to the mobile vehicle frame to fix the battery pack on the mobile vehicle frame; the mobile vehicle frame has a head and a tail, the battery cells 110 have mutually perpendicular length, height and width directions, the height direction of the battery cells 110 is parallel to the gravity direction, the width direction of the battery cells 110 is parallel to the row arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 110, and the length direction of the battery cells 110 is parallel to the column arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 110; wherein, the number of rows of the plurality of battery cells 110 arranged is greater than the number of columns, and the row arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 110 points from the head to the tail; the first bonding surface 12 is located at the tail position.
[0112] By setting the number of rows of the plurality of battery cells 110 arranged to be greater than the number of columns, and the row arrangement direction of the plurality of battery cells 110 points from the head to the tail, the extending direction of the load-bearing beam 20 is parallel to the main direction of the expansion force of the battery cells, and the first bonding surface 12 is perpendicular to the main direction of the expansion force of the battery cells, further ensuring reliable load-bearing of the overall battery box for the expansion force of the battery cells; by setting the first bonding surface 12 at the tail position, the explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30 is also located at a relatively safe position at the tail, avoiding the simultaneous collision accident of the explosion-proof pressure stabilizing valve 30 and the head, and ensuring safety.
