[0026] The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] Combined with Figures 1 to 5 , a moisture-proof device for an electric vehicle lithium battery includes a placing box 3. A moisture-proof mechanism 1 is arranged inside the placing box 3, a battery body 4 is arranged inside the moisture-proof mechanism 1, and fixing mechanisms 2 are arranged on the left and right sides of the moisture-proof mechanism 1.

[0029] The moisture-proof mechanism 1 includes an air-filtering component 11, a ventilation component 12, a closing component 13 and an exhaust component 14. The air-filtering component 11 is arranged inside the placing box 3, the ventilation component 12 is arranged on the front and back sides of the placing box 3, the closing component 13 is arranged on the top of the placing box 3, and the exhaust component 14 is arranged on the top of the closing component 13.

[0030] The air filter component 11 includes a plug 1101 which is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the placement box 3. The plug 1101 is snap-fitted into the bottom of the battery body 4. Partition plates 1102 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the battery body 4 inside the placement box 3. The partition plates 1102 are fixedly connected to the inside of the placement box 3. A filter element 1103 is arranged at the position between the partition plates 1102 where there is no plug 1101. The ventilation component 12 includes an intake sieve plate 1201 which is fixedly connected to the top of the front and rear sides of the placement box 3 corresponding to the position of the filter element 1103. An air ventilation sieve plate 1202 is arranged inside the intake sieve plate 1201. The air ventilation sieve plate 1202 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the partition plate 1102. The closing component 13 includes a sealing top cover 1301 which is snap-fitted into the top of the placement box 3. The bottom of the sealing top cover 1301 is in contact with the top of the partition plate 1102. A sleeve 1302 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing top cover 1301. The sleeve 1302 is sleeved on the outer top of the placement box 3. Empty slots 1303 are provided at the front and rear sides of the sleeve 1302 corresponding to the position of the intake sieve plate 1201. The exhaust component 14 includes a fixed box 1401 which is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing top cover 1301 corresponding to the position of the battery body 4. An exhaust fan 1402 is fixedly connected inside the fixed box 1401. An air outlet sieve plate one 1403 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the fixed box 1401. An air outlet sieve plate two 1404 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the fixed box 1401.

[0031] Furthermore: External air enters the placement box 3 through the intake sieve plate 1201, passes through the filter element 1103 for filtration, then passes through the air ventilation sieve plate 1202 and through the partition plate 1102 to contact the battery body 4. After that, the air that has completed heat exchange is discharged through the air outlet sieve plate one 1403 and the air outlet sieve plate two 1404 to complete the ventilation process of the battery body 4 in the placement box 3. The setting of the filter element 1103 filters the external air entering the placement box 3, preventing dust and water vapor in the air from contacting the battery body 4. The up-and-down position design of the intake sieve plate 1201 and the air ventilation sieve plate 1202 increases the path length of the external air entering the filter element 1103, enabling the external air entering the placement box 3 to fully contact the filter element 1103, improving the filtering effect on impurities in the external environment, and ensuring the dryness and cleanliness of the storage environment of the battery body 4 in the placement box 3. The filter element 1103 filters the air, blocking dust and water vapor in the external air, making the air continuously contacting the battery body 4 as dry as possible, improving the efficiency of the air carrying water vapor when passing through the battery body 4, so that the device does not need to consider factors such as humidity in the external environment during use, facilitating the use by the staff.

[0032] Embodiment Two

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 andFigure 5 On the basis of Embodiment 1, it is further obtained that the fixing mechanism 2 includes a clamping component 21 and a positioning component 22. The clamping component 21 is arranged on the left and right sides of the placement box 3, and the positioning component 22 is arranged on the left and right sides of the closing component 13.

[0034] The clamping component 21 includes a clamping seat 2101. The clamping seat 2101 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the placement box 3. The clamping seat 2101 is clamped inside the bottom of the left and right sides of the sleeve 1302. A fixing block 2102 is fixedly connected to the outside of the clamping seat 2101. The positioning component 22 includes a fixing cylinder 2201. The fixing cylinder 2201 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the sleeve 1302. A sliding cylinder 2202 is slidably connected to the front and rear sides inside the fixing cylinder 2201. A positioning clamping rod 2203 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding cylinder 2202. The positioning clamping rod 2203 is clamped inside the inner ring of the fixing block 2102. A compression spring 2204 is fixedly connected inside the sliding cylinder 2202. A lever 2205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding cylinder 2202. The lever 2205 is slidably connected to the inside of the bottom of the fixing cylinder 2201.

[0035] Furthermore: The staff only needs to move the levers 2205 on the front and rear sides inward to drive the positioning clamping rods 2203 on the front and rear sides to move inward to release the connection with the fixing block 2102, so that the staff can quickly complete the disassembly and assembly of the sealing top cover 1301, which is convenient for the staff to take or place the battery body 4 placed in the placement box 3, and the operation is simple and convenient for the staff to use.

[0036] During the actual operation process, when this device is in use, the exhaust fan 1402 starts to pump the air in the placement box 3 upward and discharge it. The upward discharge of the air in the placement box 3 reduces the air pressure in the placement box 3, creating a negative pressure in the placement box 3. Then the placement box 3 inhales the external air through the air inlet sieve plate 1201. The air entering the placement box 3 through the air inlet sieve plate 1201 passes through the filter element 1103 and then through the ventilation sieve plate 1202 to contact the battery body 4. After that, the air contacts the battery body 4 and then is discharged through the air outlet sieve plate one 1403 and the air outlet sieve plate two 1404. In this way, the moisture-proof treatment of the battery body 4 is completed;

[0037] When it is necessary to take the battery body 4, the staff first move the lever 2205 on the front and back sides inward. The inward movement of the lever 2205 drives the positioning latch 2203 to move inward through the sliding cylinder 2202. The positioning latches 2203 on the front and back sides move inward and retract into the fixed cylinder 2201 to release the connection with the fixed block 2102. After that, the staff can move the sleeve 1302 upward. The upward movement of the sleeve 1302 drives the sealing top cover 1301 to move upward until the sealing top cover 1301 and the sleeve 1302 are separated from the placement box 3. After that, the staff can take the battery body 4 placed in the placement box 3. The battery body 4 moves upward to be separated from the connection of the plug 1101 and the placement box 3. At this time, the taking work of the battery body 4 is completed.

[0038] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "including", "comprising" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "including a..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the said element.
