[0043] The following will describe in detail the detailed implementation manners of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed implementation manners described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the following detailed implementation manners.

[0044] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "set", "install", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations. "Parallel" is only a term used for the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art to simply represent the relationship, and does not refer to the absolute and deviation-free state in geometry, but is based on a relative or approximate understanding. Due to the influence of various factors such as the actual observation angle, manufacturing accuracy, and measurement accuracy, the "parallel" used in the present utility model may not precisely conform to the strict definition in geometry, and it mainly reflects a trend or general characteristic of the direction relationship. For example, the so-called approximate parallel in the text can be understood as having a certain deviation relative to parallel.

[0045] In the description of the present utility model, in order to clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present utility model, some orientation terms are involved. For example, "front" refers to the direction close to the front of the vehicle, "rear" refers to the direction close to the rear of the vehicle, "inner" refers to the direction from the outside of the vehicle to the inside of the vehicle, "outer" refers to the direction from the inside of the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle, and "up, down, left, right" are all based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings. It should be understood that the orientation terms are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0046] To better understand the technical solution of the present utility model, some concepts are briefly described below. The front frame assembly refers to the frame area used to carry the front drive system and connected to the front suspension or wheels. The middle frame assembly refers to the frame area used to carry the battery system and connected to the upper body passenger compartment. The rear frame assembly refers to the frame area used to carry the rear drive system and connected to the rear suspension or wheels.

[0047] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the present utility model provides a frame assembly, which includes a front frame assembly 2, a middle frame assembly 5, and a rear frame assembly 8. The front frame assembly 2, the middle frame assembly 5, and the rear frame assembly 8 can be sequentially connected after being respectively produced and assembled. The segmented connection structure can, without changing the structures of the front frame assembly 2 and the rear frame assembly 8, meet the expansion requirements of different wheelbases by adjusting the structure of the middle frame assembly 5. The front frame assembly 2 includes two frame right front bent beams 2-1 and frame left front bent beams 2-11 arranged parallel or approximately parallel in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. And at the positions where the frame right front bent beam 2-1 and the frame left front bent beam 2-11 are close to the middle frame assembly 5, a frame front wire harness bracket 2-10 is connected. The frame front wire harness bracket 2-10 can orderly fix and separate the connection wire harnesses between the electrical components installed on the front frame assembly 2, as well as the connection wire harnesses between these electrical components and the battery system carried on the middle frame assembly 5, avoiding entanglement and friction between the wire harnesses during vehicle driving, and being able to reduce unnecessary wire crossing and overlapping, improving the space utilization rate of the front frame assembly 2, and further providing more installation space for other electrical components, promoting the integration of the front frame assembly 2. The rear frame assembly 8 includes two frame right rear bent beams 8-3 and frame left rear bent beams 8-6 arranged parallel or approximately parallel in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body. And at the positions where the frame right rear bent beam 8-3 and the frame left rear bent beam 8-6 are close to the middle frame assembly 5, a frame rear wire harness bracket 8-7 is connected. The beneficial effects of the frame rear wire harness bracket 8-7 are similar to those of the frame front wire harness bracket 2-10, and will not be elaborated here.

[0048] In some embodiments, the middle frame assembly 5 includes an upper cover plate 11, a lower support plate 6, a right longitudinal beam 5-1 and a left longitudinal beam 5-3 which are symmetric and parallel in the left-right direction, and a front cross beam 5-2 and a rear cross beam 5-4 which are symmetric and parallel in the front-rear direction. The left and right end faces of the front cross beam 5-2 are fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of the right longitudinal beam 5-1 and the left longitudinal beam 5-3 near the front end. The left and right end faces of the rear cross beam 5-4 are fixedly connected to the inner surfaces of the right longitudinal beam 5-1 and the left longitudinal beam 5-3 near the rear end. The front cross beam 5-2, the right longitudinal beam 5-1, the rear cross beam 5-4 and the left longitudinal beam 5-3 are connected end to end to form a square frame body, and this frame body constitutes an installation cavity 50 for accommodating the battery system. The battery system includes, but is not limited to, a battery cell module, an electrical connection assembly for realizing the electrical connection between battery cell modules and the connection between the battery cell modules and other external electrical components, and an electronic control system for managing the battery cell module. The above battery cell module, electrical connection assembly and electronic control system can all be realized based on the prior art and are not the invention core of the present utility model, so they will not be described in detail here. The space size of the installation cavity 50 can be changed by increasing or decreasing the dimensional lengths of the left longitudinal beam 5-3, the right longitudinal beam 5-1, the front cross beam 5-2 and the rear cross beam 5-4, so as to meet various requirements of users for the size and quantity of the battery cell modules. This setting can separately set the structure of the middle frame assembly 5 to meet the expansion requirements of different wheelbases and the size requirements of the battery system accommodation space without affecting the structures of the front frame assembly 2 and the rear frame assembly 8. Exemplarily, the length of the left longitudinal beam 5-3 and the right longitudinal beam 5-1 and / or the length of the front cross beam 5-2 and the rear cross beam 5-4 can be expanded to increase the space of the installation cavity 50, and then a battery cell module with a larger capacity can be carried to enhance the endurance; the wheelbase, that is, the distance between the front wheel and the rear wheel, can be increased by expanding the length of the left longitudinal beam 5-3 and the right longitudinal beam 5-1.

[0049] In addition, a plurality of wire harness brackets may be provided on the inner side surfaces of the left longitudinal beam 5-3 and / or the right longitudinal beam 5-1 for accommodating the connection wire harnesses between the battery cell modules. Wire harness connector fixing holes may be formed in the front cross beam 5-2 and / or the rear cross beam 5-4 for fixing the connectors. The electrical connection heads of the battery system in the installation cavity 50 are adapted to be plugged into the connectors, and the other socket of the connectors is located outside the front cross beam 5-2 and / or the rear cross beam 5-4 for connecting with the wire harness connection joints on the front vehicle frame assembly 2 and the rear vehicle frame assembly 8. The connection wire harnesses of each electrical component on the front vehicle frame assembly 2 and the rear vehicle frame assembly 8 are respectively integrated into wire harness connection joints and docked with the connector sockets on the middle vehicle frame assembly 5 to be able to supply power to the electrical components on the front vehicle frame assembly 2 and the rear vehicle frame assembly 8. This connection method can facilitate the maintenance of the battery system. When a fault occurs in the battery system, only the electrical connection head in the installation cavity 50 needs to be unplugged to separate the battery system from the external electrical components. The fixed connection methods of the above-mentioned front cross beam 5-2, right longitudinal beam 5-1, rear cross beam 5-4 and left longitudinal beam 5-3 can be various methods such as riveting, screwing or welding. When using the riveting or screwing method, a sealing material can be used for sealing and filling; when using the welding method, a caulking agent can be used for sealing and filling. The above-mentioned front cross beam 5-2, right longitudinal beam 5-1, rear cross beam 5-4 and left longitudinal beam 5-3 can adopt high-strength steel rectangular pipes to ensure that when the right longitudinal beam 5-1 and the left longitudinal beam 5-3 are impacted, the front cross beam 5-2, right longitudinal beam 5-1, rear cross beam 5-4 and left longitudinal beam 5-3 will not deform, thereby ensuring the safety of the battery system in the installation cavity 50.

[0050] Multiple mounting holes are provided on the left longitudinal beam 5-3, right longitudinal beam 5-1, front cross beam 5-2 and rear cross beam 5-4, and threaded bushings are provided in each mounting hole. The thread specifications and spiral depths of the upper and lower ends of the threaded bushing are different, so that the threaded bushing can be respectively connected to the upper cover plate 11 and the lower support plate 6, effectively ensuring the torsional stiffness of the frame formed by the left longitudinal beam 5-3, right longitudinal beam 5-1, front cross beam 5-2 and rear cross beam 5-4. The upper cover plate 11 is located at the top of the installation cavity 50, and is fixedly connected to the left longitudinal beam 5-3, right longitudinal beam 5-1, front cross beam 5-2 and rear cross beam 5-4 and can be hermetically connected by an adhesive or a sealant. The upper cover plate 11 does not need to be disassembled during subsequent maintenance of the battery system, is maintenance-free, and the upper surface of the upper cover plate 11 after being installed with the left longitudinal beam 5-3, right longitudinal beam 5-1, front cross beam 5-2 and rear cross beam 5-4 is flat and parallel to the ground horizontal plane, providing a good and sufficient installation space for the upper-mounted parts and meeting the user's expansion of different applications. The lower support plate 6 is located at the bottom of the installation cavity 50, and is detachably connected to the left longitudinal beam 5-3, right longitudinal beam 5-1, front cross beam 5-2 and rear cross beam 5-4, and can also be hermetically connected by a sealant without affecting the disassembly of the lower support plate 6. It can be understood that since the battery cell module is connected to the lower support plate 6 and the lower support plate 6 is connected to the left longitudinal beam 5-3, right longitudinal beam 5-1, front cross beam 5-2 and rear cross beam 5-4 from bottom to top, the upper cover plate 11 can be designed as a non-detachable connection method, eliminating maintenance. When repairing or replacing the battery cell module, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire middle frame assembly 5, and only the lower support plate 6 needs to be directly disassembled from the bottom of the vehicle to repair or replace the battery cell module, with simple operation and low maintenance cost.

[0051] The middle frame assembly 5 of the present utility model is only composed of two longitudinal beams (left longitudinal beam 5-3 and right longitudinal beam 5-1), two cross beams (front cross beam 5-2 and rear cross beam 5-4), an upper cover plate 11 and a lower support plate 6 to form a sealed space for accommodating the battery system. Compared with the structure in the prior art that uses multiple longitudinal beams and cross beams to form multiple grid spaces for placing battery packs, the middle frame assembly 5 of the present utility model reduces the number of longitudinal and cross beam structural members and integrates the battery system, thereby improving the utilization rate of the sealed space, reducing the weight of the middle frame assembly 5, and being beneficial to the lightweight and integration of the vehicle. The battery cell module is connected to the lower support plate 6, and the connection method of the lower support plate 6 to the two longitudinal beams and two cross beams from bottom to top reduces the maintenance difficulty of the battery cell module, thereby reducing the maintenance cost.

[0052] In some embodiments, a right front curved beam joint 4 and a left front curved beam joint 12 are provided on the front cross beam 5-2.

The end of the front curved section of the right front curved beam 2-1 of the vehicle frame is adapted to be inserted into the front insertion portion 4-1 and welded and fixed thereto. The end of the front curved section of the left front curved beam 2-11 of the vehicle frame is adapted to be inserted into the front insertion portion 12-1 and welded and fixed thereto, so as to realize the connection between the right front curved beam 2-1 and the left front curved beam 2-11 of the vehicle frame and the middle vehicle frame assembly 5. The front end faces of the front straight sections of the connected right front curved beam 2-1 and left front curved beam 2-11 of the vehicle frame are located in the same vertical plane.
