[0048] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail.

[0050] The battery holder 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the battery bracket 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first bracket 100 , a second bracket 200 and a driving assembly 300 .

[0052] The second bracket 200 is movably disposed on the first bracket 100 , and the second bracket 200 is suitable for mounting a battery.

[0053] That is to say, the battery can be installed on the second bracket 200, and then the battery can be installed on the battery bracket 1000, so as to facilitate the use of the battery bracket 1000 to support the battery, thereby improving the stability of the battery and reducing the difficulty of fixing the battery, thereby ensuring the working performance of the battery to a certain extent.

[0054] At the same time, since the second bracket 200 is movably provided on the first bracket 100 , by installing the battery on the second bracket 200 , the battery can also be moved relative to the first bracket 100 , which facilitates adjustment of the position of the battery.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first bracket 100 is suitable for being connected to the body of the vehicle to enable the battery bracket 1000 to be installed on the vehicle, thereby facilitating the use of the battery bracket 1000 to install the battery on the vehicle, reducing the difficulty of fixing the battery, and facilitating the use of the battery to provide electrical energy for the vehicle, thereby ensuring the working performance of the vehicle to a certain extent.

[0056] In addition, since the second bracket 200 is movably provided on the first bracket 100, when the first bracket 100 is connected to the body of the vehicle, the position of the battery can be adjusted relative to the body to facilitate the removal of the battery from the vehicle. On the one hand, it is convenient for maintenance of the battery. On the other hand, it can also allow the battery to be quickly removed from the vehicle when thermal runaway occurs, thereby avoiding to a certain extent the harm to the driver and passengers when thermal runaway occurs, thereby improving the safety of vehicle use.

[0057] That is to say, the battery bracket 1000 of the present application can not only support the battery, but also facilitate the removal of the battery from the vehicle when the battery bracket 1000 is installed in the vehicle.

[0058] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the driving assembly 300 is provided between the first bracket 100 and the second bracket 200. The driving assembly 300 includes at least two driving members 310 and a connecting member 320. The at least two driving members 310 are provided on the first bracket 100. The connecting member 320 is fixedly connected to the output ends 311 of the at least two driving members 310 (the specific matching form of the connecting member 320 and the output end 311 can be seen in Figure 7 and Figure 8 ), so that the output ends 311 of at least two driving members 310 move synchronously, and the output ends 311 are used to drive the second bracket 200 to move. In this way, the driving assembly 300 drives the second bracket 200 to move, and the driving assembly 300 drives the battery to move.

[0059] That is, the present application provides a driving assembly 300 to enable the second bracket 200 to effectively move relative to the first bracket 100, thereby facilitating the removal of the battery disposed on the second bracket 200.

[0060] In a specific example, when the battery experiences thermal runaway and is removed from the vehicle via the second bracket 200 , the second bracket 200 can be completely detached from the first bracket 100 , allowing the battery to be detached from the vehicle, further preventing the battery from causing damage to the driver, passengers, vehicle, etc.

[0061] It should be noted that, since the second bracket 200 is provided with a battery, both the battery and the second bracket 200 have a certain weight, which may cause the driving component 300 to be unable to effectively drive the second bracket 200 to move.

[0062] Based on this, the present application sets up a driving assembly 300, specifically, the driving assembly 300 is set to include at least two driving members 310 and a connecting member 320, and the at least two driving members 310 are both arranged on the first bracket 100, and the connecting member 320 is fixedly connected to the output end 311 of the at least two driving members 310.

[0063] Among them, compared with setting up a cylinder with greater thrust, the present application sets up at least two driving members 310. The cooperation of at least two driving members 310 can not only ensure that the driving component 300 can output large thrust, but also avoid excessively increasing the cost of the driving component 300, thereby reducing the use cost of the driving component 300.

[0064] At the same time, the driving component 300 of the present application is also provided with a connecting member 320, and the connecting member 320 is arranged to be fixedly connected to the output ends 311 of at least two driving members 310, so that the output ends 311 of at least two driving members 310 move synchronously. Compared with setting at least two independent cylinders, the thrust of at least two driving members 310 can be concentrated, so that the driving component 300 can output a large thrust, so that the driving component 300 can effectively drive the second bracket 200 to move relative to the first bracket 100.

[0065] In other words, the drive assembly 300 of the present application has concentrated thrust, high thrust and low cost.

[0066] In addition, by arranging at least two driving members 310 on the first bracket 100, the first bracket 100 can be used to support the driving member 310, thereby improving the position stability of the driving member 310 and ensuring the working performance of the driving member 310 to a certain extent.

[0067] In some embodiments, the driving member 310 is a cylinder, a linear motor, a servo motor, or the like.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, fixing members 340 are respectively provided at both axial ends of the driving member 310, and at least two driving members 310 are fixedly connected to the first bracket 100 through the fixing members 340, so that at least two driving members 310 are both arranged on the first bracket 100, thereby improving the position stability of the driving member 310.

[0069] The fixing member 340 can be fixed to the first bracket 100 by welding or bolt connection.

[0070] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “at least two” means two or more.

[0071] It can be seen from the above structure that the battery bracket 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, by setting the first bracket 100, the second bracket 200 and the drive assembly 300, can realize that the second bracket 200 is movably arranged on the first bracket 100, thereby realizing that the battery is movably arranged on the first bracket 100, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the battery relative to the first bracket 100. In this way, when the battery bracket 1000 is set in the vehicle, the position of the battery can be adjusted relative to the vehicle body, thereby facilitating the removal of the battery from the vehicle. On the one hand, it is convenient for maintaining the battery. On the other hand, it can also enable the battery to be quickly removed from the vehicle when thermal runaway occurs, thereby avoiding damage to the driver and passengers when thermal runaway occurs to a certain extent, thereby improving the safety of vehicle use.

[0072] At the same time, by configuring the drive assembly 300 to include at least two drive members 310 and a connecting member 320, while reducing the manufacturing cost of the drive assembly 300, the drive assembly 300 can also be enabled to output a large thrust, so that the drive assembly 300 can effectively drive the second bracket 200 to move relative to the first bracket 100 to achieve the removal of the battery.

[0073] It can be understood that compared with the existing technology, the battery bracket 1000 of the present application can reduce the manufacturing cost while ensuring that the battery bracket 1000 has a larger thrust, so that the battery bracket 1000 can effectively drive the battery to move, so as to facilitate the removal of the battery from the vehicle, to a certain extent avoid the battery from causing harm to the driver and passengers when thermal runaway occurs, and improve the safety of vehicle use.

[0074] In the description of the present invention, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such features, and are used to distinguish and describe features, without any distinction in order or importance.

[0075] In some embodiments, the battery bracket 1000 also includes a guide assembly (not shown in the figure), the guide assembly includes a slider and a slide rail, the slide rail extends along the moving direction of the second bracket 200, and the slider is movably provided on the slide rail. One of the slider and the slide rail is provided on the first bracket 100, and the other is provided on the second bracket 200. In this way, when the driving assembly 300 drives the second bracket 200 to move relative to the first bracket 100, the guide assembly can be used to limit the moving direction of the second bracket 200, so that the second bracket 200 can move in a predetermined direction, thereby facilitating the use of the second bracket 200 to remove the battery from the vehicle.

[0076] In some embodiments, combined Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second bracket 200 moves along the first direction, and at least two driving members 310 are arranged along the second direction, and the second direction intersects the first direction. Figure 4 The X direction shown in the second direction can be understood as Figure 4 In the Y direction shown in the figure, that is, the arrangement direction of the at least two driving members 310 intersects with the moving direction of the second bracket 200, so that the output ends 311 of the at least two driving members 310 can be set close to the second bracket 200, thereby facilitating the use of at least two driving members 310 to simultaneously drive the second bracket 200 to move, thereby increasing the output force of the driving assembly 300.

[0077] Optionally, combined Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting member 320 is a connecting block that extends along the second direction and is simultaneously connected to the output ends 311 of the at least two driving members 310. In other words, the extension direction of the connecting block is consistent with the arrangement direction of the at least two driving members 310. This allows the connecting block to be positioned close to the output ends 311 of the at least two driving members 310 at the same time, thereby facilitating the simultaneous connection of the connecting block with the output ends 311 of the at least two driving members 310. This allows the thrust of the at least two driving members 310 to be concentrated, thereby increasing the output force of the driving assembly 300 and, to a certain extent, ensuring that the driving assembly 300 effectively drives the second bracket 200 to move relative to the first bracket 100.

[0078] In some embodiments, a plurality of connection holes are provided on the connection block, and the number of the plurality of connection holes is the same as the number of the driving members 310. The output ends 311 of at least two driving members 310 are respectively inserted into the corresponding connection holes and matched with the connection holes to realize the matching connection between the connection block and the output ends 311 of at least two driving members 310.

[0079] In some embodiments, the connection block is fixedly connected to the output end 311 of the driving member 310 via a nut.

[0080] In some embodiments, the connecting block is engaged with the second bracket 200 , so that when the output end 311 of the driving member 310 is actuated, the connecting block can be used to drive the second bracket 200 to move, thereby reducing the difficulty of moving the second bracket 200 .

[0081] In some embodiments, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the drive assembly 300 further includes a transmission member 330, which is connected to the second bracket 200 and extends along the movement direction of the second bracket 200. The transmission member 330 is disposed opposite the output ends 311 of at least two drive members 310. The output ends 311 are used to drive the transmission member 330 to move, thereby driving the movement of the second bracket 200. This achieves the purpose of using the drive member 310 to drive the movement of the second bracket 200 and reduces the difficulty of moving the second bracket 200.

[0082] At the same time, by setting the transmission member 330 to extend along the moving direction of the second bracket 200, it is convenient to increase the contact area between the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200. On the one hand, it ensures that the transmission member 330 can effectively drive the second bracket 200 to move. On the other hand, it is also convenient to use the transmission member 330 to support the second bracket 200, thereby improving the position stability of the second bracket 200.

[0083] In addition, by setting up the transmission member 330, the telescopic distance of the driving member 310 can be shortened, so that the battery can be moved out without setting up a longer driving member 310. While reducing the cost of using the driving member 310, it can also improve the development progress of the battery bracket 1000.

[0084] Of course, in some other embodiments, the transmission member 330 may not be provided, and the connecting member 320 may be provided to extend along the moving direction of the second bracket 200 and to engage with the second bracket 200. In this way, the driving member 310 can be used to drive the second bracket 200 to move, and ensure that the battery can be removed without providing a longer driving member 310.

[0085] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the moving direction of the second bracket 200, the driving member 310 and the transmission member 330 are arranged in sequence, and the transmission member 330 is located on the side of the driving member 310 where the output end 311 is provided. The transmission member 330 and the output end 311 are abutted against each other so that the output end 311 can be used to drive the transmission member 330 to move, thereby realizing the use of the driving member 310 to drive the second bracket 200 to move.

[0086] Of course, in some other embodiments, the transmission member 330 may also be engaged with the connecting member 320 , so that the purpose of using the output end 311 to drive the transmission member 330 to move can also be achieved.

[0087] In some embodiments, the second bracket 200 has a first position in which it is installed relative to the first bracket 100 and a second position in which it is displaced relative to the first bracket 100. In the first position, the second bracket 200 can stably support the battery, and in the second position, the battery is displaced relative to the vehicle. This means that when the second bracket 200 is movably provided on the first bracket 100, the second bracket 200 has a first position in which it is installed relative to the first bracket 100 and a second position in which it is displaced relative to the first bracket 100. When the second bracket 200 is in the first position, the battery can be supported by the second bracket 200, thereby achieving the purpose of supporting the battery by the battery bracket 1000 and improving the positional stability of the battery. When the second bracket 200 is in the second position, the battery has the ability to move out of the vehicle, thereby preventing the battery from causing damage to the driver, passengers, vehicle, etc. due to thermal runaway.

[0088] In some embodiments, a locking assembly is provided on the battery bracket 1000, and the locking assembly is used to lock the second bracket 200 relative to the first bracket 100 after the second bracket 200 is installed in place. That is, when the second bracket 200 is in the first position, the locking assembly can be used to lock the second bracket 200 on the first bracket 100, so as to achieve stable support of the second bracket 200 by the first bracket 100, improve the position stability of the second bracket 200, and thus achieve stable support of the battery by the second bracket 200, so that the battery position is stable.

[0089] In addition, since a battery is installed on the second bracket 200 , when the second bracket 200 is in the first position, the battery can be installed in place in the vehicle, thereby ensuring the working performance of the battery to a certain extent.

[0090] In some embodiments, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the battery bracket 1000 further includes a sensor assembly 400, which is disposed on the first bracket 100. The sensor assembly 400 and the transmission member 330 cooperate to detect the relative position of the second bracket 200 and the first bracket 100. In other words, the sensor assembly 400 and the transmission member 330 cooperate to detect whether the second bracket 200 is located in the first position or the second position.

[0091] It should be noted that after the battery is removed using the second bracket 200, if the battery bracket 1000 is used to support the battery again, the second bracket 200 needs to be moved manually or by a driving device to install the second bracket 200 on the first bracket 100. However, if the second bracket 200 is not installed in place, the second bracket 200 will easily shake relative to the first bracket 100, thereby causing the battery to shake, affecting the battery's working performance, service life and safety of use.

[0092] At the same time, when the battery is moved out of the vehicle, if there are pedestrians or objects outside the vehicle facing the battery, it will pose a threat to the safety of the pedestrians and objects.

[0093] Based on this, the present application sets up a sensor assembly 400 to detect the relative position of the second bracket 200 and the first bracket 100. On the one hand, it ensures that when the second bracket 200 moves and drives the battery to move, the movement of the second bracket 200 can be fed back in time to remind pedestrians and remind people to move objects. On the other hand, it ensures that when the battery bracket 1000 is used to install the battery to the vehicle, the second bracket 200 can be installed in place relative to the first bracket 100, so that the position of the second bracket 200 relative to the first bracket 100 is stable, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the battery bracket 1000, so that the battery can be supported by the battery bracket 1000, so that the battery position is stable, which is beneficial to ensuring the working performance of the battery.

[0094] At the same time, by arranging the sensor assembly 400 on the first bracket 100, the first bracket 100 is used to support the sensor assembly 400, thereby improving the position stability of the sensor assembly 400, thereby ensuring the working performance of the sensor assembly 400 to a certain extent.

[0095] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the sensor assembly 400 includes a sensing head 410 and a rotating member 420. The sensing head 410 is arranged opposite the transmission member 330. The rotating member 420 is arranged between the sensing head 410 and the transmission member 330. At least a portion of the side wall of the transmission member 330 toward the rotating member 420 extends obliquely relative to the moving direction of the transmission member 330, so that the transmission member 330 can drive the rotating member 420 to rotate; wherein, when the second bracket 200 is in the first position, the rotating member 420 rotates in a direction away from the sensing head 410, and the rotating member 420 is spaced apart from the sensing head 410; when the second bracket 200 is in the second position, the transmission member 330 drives the rotating member 420 to rotate in a direction close to the sensing head 410, the rotating member 420 contacts the sensing head 410, and the sensor assembly 400 outputs an electrical signal indicating that the second bracket 200 is not installed in place. That is to say, when the second bracket 200 is in the second position, the transmission member 330 drives the rotating member 420 to rotate toward the direction close to the sensing head 410, so that the rotating member 420 contacts the sensing head 410. When the rotating member 420 contacts the sensing head 410, the sensor assembly 400 outputs an electrical signal indicating that the second bracket 200 is not installed in place. In this way, it can be determined that the second bracket 200 is not installed in place and that the second bracket 200 is displaced relative to the first bracket 100.

[0096] When it is determined that the second bracket 200 is not installed in place during the installation of the second bracket 200 , the position of the second bracket 200 can be adjusted according to the above detection results until the second bracket 200 is installed in place.

[0097] In some embodiments, an alarm device may be provided on the vehicle, and the alarm device is electrically connected to the sensor assembly 400. When the rotating part 420 contacts the sensing head 410, the sensor assembly 400 outputs an electrical signal to the alarm device indicating that the second bracket 200 is not installed in place. The alarm device sends an alarm signal, so that during the removal of the second bracket 200, the driver and passengers or pedestrians outside the vehicle can be reminded to a certain extent to avoid pedestrians or objects outside the vehicle facing the battery. At the same time, during the installation of the second bracket 200, the driver and passengers can also be reminded that the second bracket 200 is not installed in place. At this time, the driver and passengers can adjust the installation position of the second bracket 200 until the second bracket 200 is stably installed on the first bracket 100, thereby facilitating the use of the battery bracket 1000 to stably support the battery.

[0098] The alarm device mentioned here may be a voice alarm, a light alarm or a buzzer, etc.

[0099] In summary, the transmission member 330 of the present application can not only drive the second bracket 200 to move, but also shorten the telescopic distance of the driving member 310, and can cooperate with the sensor assembly 400 to detect the installation position of the second bracket 200.

[0100] Of course, in some other embodiments, the rotating member 420 is not limited to be provided. A magnetic strip that cooperates with the sensing head 410 may also be provided on the transmission member 330 , so that the position of the second bracket 200 can also be detected.

[0101] In some embodiments, one end of the rotating member 420 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 100, and the other end of the rotating member 420 is formed as a free end. The first bracket 100 is provided with a first movable member 430 and a second movable member 440. The first movable member 430 and the second movable member 440 are both movable in the second direction. The free end of the rotating member 420 is arranged between the first movable member 430 and the second movable member 440. The first movable member 430 is arranged close to the transmission member 330. When the second bracket 200 is not installed in place, the transmission member 330 can drive the first movable member 430 to move toward the direction close to the sensing head 410. When the first movable member 430 moves, it drives the rotating member 420 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating member 420 to rotate toward the direction close to the sensing head 410, so that the rotating member 420 contacts the sensing head 410. At this time, the sensor assembly 400 detects that the second bracket 200 is not installed in place.

[0102] Optionally, when the second bracket 200 is installed in the first position, the second movable member 440 drives the rotating member 420 to rotate in a direction away from the sensing head 410, so that the rotating member 420 is spaced apart from the sensing head 410. At this time, the sensing head 410 is not triggered, and the sensor assembly 400 does not detect a signal, and it is determined that the second bracket 200 is installed in place.

[0103] In some embodiments, a spring or rubber member is provided on the first bracket 100, and the spring or rubber member is used to drive the second movable member 440 to move toward the transmission member 330, thereby facilitating the use of the second movable member 440 to drive the rotating member 420 to rotate in a direction away from the sensing head 410.

[0104] In some embodiments, the transmission member 330 is movably disposed on the second bracket 200 in the direction of movement of the second bracket 200, such that when the output end 311 drives the transmission member 330 to move, the transmission member 330 has a first stroke relative to the second bracket 200 and a second stroke that drives the second bracket 200. In other words, when the driving member 310 drives the transmission member 330 to move, the transmission member 330 not only drives the second bracket 200 to move synchronously, but also has a stroke within which the transmission member 330 moves relative to the second bracket 200. During this stroke, the second bracket 200 remains stationary relative to the first bracket 100, thereby ensuring the positional stability of the second bracket 200.

[0105] It should be noted that the output end 311 of the driving member 310 may have abnormal expansion and contraction due to the action of the spring, gravity or in certain extreme environments (such as large temperature changes, strong vibrations, etc.), and because the transmission member 330 and the output end 311 are in a stop-and-match fit, when the output end 311 is abnormally expanded and contracted, the transmission member 330 will also be driven to move. At this time, if the transmission member 330 drives the second bracket 200 to move, the second bracket 200 will shake, which will cause the battery to shake, affecting the supporting performance of the battery bracket 1000.

[0106] To solve the above problems, the present application configures the transmission member 330 to have a first stroke for moving relative to the second bracket 200 and a second stroke for driving the second bracket 200 to move. While ensuring that the transmission member 330 can normally drive the second bracket 200 to move, it can also prevent the transmission member 330 from driving the second bracket 200 to move to a certain extent when the output end 311 drives the transmission member 330 to move due to abnormal telescopic movement, thereby improving the position stability of the second bracket 200, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the battery bracket 1000, and improving the supporting performance of the battery bracket 1000.

[0107] That is to say, the transmission member 330 of the present application can adapt to the expansion and contraction of the driving member 310 under abnormal driving.

[0108] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, at least one first mounting hole 331 is provided on the transmission member 330, and at least one second mounting hole 210 is provided on the second bracket 200 to cooperate with the first mounting hole 331. One of the first mounting hole 331 and the second mounting hole 210 is formed as an elongated hole, and the extension direction of the elongated hole is consistent with the moving direction of the transmission member 330. The transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200 are fixedly connected by a fastener 500 passing through the first mounting hole 331 and the second mounting hole 210, and the fastener 500 slides in cooperation with the elongated hole. This means that when the first mounting hole 331 is formed as an elongated hole, the fastener 500 slides with the first mounting hole 331, and when the second mounting hole 210 is formed as an elongated hole, the fastener 500 slides with the second mounting hole 210. In this way, while achieving a fixed connection between the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200, the transmission member 330 can also be moved relative to the second bracket 200 after the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200 are connected, so that the transmission member 330 has a first stroke for moving relative to the second bracket 200 and a second stroke for driving the second bracket 200 to move. While ensuring that the transmission member 330 can normally drive the second bracket 200 to move, it can also prevent the transmission member 330 from driving the second bracket 200 to move to a certain extent when the output end 311 drives the transmission member 330 to move due to abnormal telescopic movement, so as to improve the position stability of the second bracket 200.

[0109] The fastener 500 mentioned here may be a fastening bolt, a fastening screw, etc.

[0110] At the same time, by sliding the fastener 500 into engagement with the elongated hole, during the installation of the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200, the elongated hole can also be used to adjust the installation position of the transmission member 330 relative to the second bracket 200 to adapt to the manufacturing tolerances of the first mounting hole 331, the second mounting hole 210, the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200, so that after the transmission member 330 is installed in place on the second bracket 200, the transmission member 330 can accurately engage with the output end 311 of the driving member 310, making it convenient to use the driving member 310 to drive the second bracket 200 to move.

[0111] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 As shown, the first mounting hole 331 is formed as an elongated hole, which not only facilitates adjustment of the mounting position of the transmission member 330 but also reduces the difficulty of forming the first mounting hole 331 .

[0112] In some embodiments, combined Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, a plurality of first mounting holes 331 are provided on the transmission member 330, and a plurality of second mounting holes 210 are provided on the second bracket 200. The plurality of first mounting holes 331 and the plurality of second mounting holes 210 correspond to each other one by one, so that the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200 can be fixedly connected through a plurality of fasteners 500 to improve the connection strength between the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200, thereby making the relative position of the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200 stable, and facilitating the use of the transmission member 330 to drive the second bracket 200 to move.

[0113] In some embodiments, combined Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the transmission member 330 includes a main body 334 and a connecting portion 335. The main body 334 is movably mounted on the second bracket 200 via a fastener 500. The main body 334 is provided with a mounting opening 332. The connecting portion 335 is movably mounted on the mounting opening 332 along the moving direction of the transmission member 330. The connecting portion 335 is fixedly connected to the second bracket 200. In other words, the transmission member 330 is movably connected to the second bracket 200 via the main body 334 on the one hand, and is fixedly connected to the second bracket 200 via the connecting portion 335 on the other hand. The connecting portion 335 movably cooperates with the main body 334 to further achieve the movable cooperation between the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200, thereby enabling the transmission member 330 to have a first travel relative to the second bracket 200 and a second travel to drive the second bracket 200 to move, and ensuring the connection strength between the transmission member 330 and the second bracket 200.

[0114] Among them, the fixed connection between the connecting part 335 and the second bracket 200 mentioned here can be a bolt connection, a screw connection or a clamping connection, etc. While realizing the fixed connection between the connecting part 335 and the second bracket 200, the connecting part 335 and the second bracket 200 can also form a detachable connection to reduce the difficulty of assembling the transmission part 330 and the second bracket 200.

[0115] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 As shown, after the transmission member 330 is connected to the second bracket 200 and before the driving member 310 drives the transmission member 330 to move, the side of the fastener 500 facing the driving member 310 and the side of the connecting portion 335 facing the driving member 310 are both spaced apart from the main body 334 to form a moving space 3321. In this way, when the output end 311 drives the transmission member 330 to move due to abnormal telescopic movement, the transmission member 330 can be driven to move relative to the second bracket 200, thereby avoiding the transmission member 330 from driving the second bracket 200 to move to a certain extent, so as to improve the position stability of the second bracket 200.

[0116] Optionally, the extension length of the moving space 3321 is smaller than the telescopic length of the output end 311 of the driving member 310, so that when the output end 311 drives the transmission member 330 to move and compresses the moving space 3321, the driving member 310 can effectively drive the second bracket 200 to move to remove the battery.

[0117] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 As shown, the transmission member 330 further includes an elastic member 336, and the connecting portion 335 is connected to the main body 334 via the elastic member 336. On the one hand, the connection of the connecting portion 335 to the main body 334 can be achieved, so that the position of the connecting portion 335 relative to the main body 334 is stable, thereby enabling the connecting portion 335 to be effectively positioned in the mounting opening 332. On the other hand, because the connecting portion 335 is fixedly connected to the second bracket 200, the elastic member 336 can prevent the connecting portion 335 from obstructing the movement of the transmission member 330 relative to the second bracket 200.

[0118] In a specific example, when the transmission member 330 moves relative to the second bracket 200 , the elastic member 336 is stretched, so that the transmission member 330 can effectively move relative to the second bracket 200 .

[0119] The elastic member 336 mentioned here can be understood as a spring. The spring can reduce the use cost of the elastic member 336 while ensuring the working performance of the elastic member 336.

[0120] In some embodiments, in the second direction, the opposite side walls of the connecting portion 335 are in contact with and cooperate with the side walls of the mounting opening 332, so that the connecting portion 335 can be used to guide the movement of the main body 334, so that the transmission member 330 moves in an accurate direction relative to the second bracket 200, thereby ensuring that the subsequent transmission member 330 can effectively drive the second bracket 200 to move.

[0121] In some embodiments, as Figure 9 As shown, the transmission member 330 is further provided with a weight-reducing hole 333 , which can reduce the weight of the transmission member 330 , thereby reducing the driving difficulty of the transmission member 330 and also reducing the manufacturing cost of the transmission member 330 .

[0122] In some embodiments, the transmission member 330 is in a stop fit with the output end 311 of the driving member 310, and the transmission member 330 is in a stop fit or a clearance fit with the first bracket 100. Since the transmission member 330 is fixedly connected to the second bracket 200, the above-mentioned arrangement can prevent the transmission member 330 from affecting the disassembly fit of the second bracket 200 and the first bracket 100, so that when the battery has thermal runaway and the battery is removed from the vehicle through the second bracket 200, the second bracket 200 can be completely separated from the first bracket 100, so that the battery is separated from the vehicle.

[0123] The following describes a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0124] A vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle body, a battery bracket 1000 and a battery.

[0125] The battery bracket 1000 is the aforementioned battery bracket 1000. The specific structure of the battery bracket 1000 is not described here. The first bracket 100 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body. This allows the battery bracket 1000 to be fixedly connected to the vehicle body, thereby enabling the battery bracket 1000 to be installed on the vehicle and reducing the difficulty of connecting the battery bracket 1000 to the vehicle.

[0126] The fixed connection mentioned here may be welding, bonding, bolt connection or clamping, etc.

[0127] The battery is mounted on the second bracket 200 and is used to provide electrical energy for the vehicle.

[0128] Among them, by arranging the battery on the second bracket 200, on the one hand, the battery can be placed in the vehicle, so that the battery can be used to provide electrical energy for the vehicle, ensuring the working performance of the vehicle to a certain extent. On the other hand, because the second bracket 200 is movably arranged on the first bracket 100, the battery can be movably arranged in the vehicle, so as to facilitate the removal of the battery from the vehicle. This not only facilitates the maintenance of the battery, but also allows the battery to be quickly removed when thermal runaway occurs, thereby avoiding damage to the driver and passengers when thermal runaway occurs to a certain extent, thereby improving the safety of vehicle use.

[0129] That is to say, the vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention adopts the aforementioned battery bracket 1000 to facilitate the removal of the battery from the entire vehicle, thereby avoiding to a certain extent the harm to the driver and passengers when the battery suffers thermal runaway, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0130] The vehicle mentioned here can be a passenger car, a bus or a truck, etc.

[0131] In some embodiments, the battery is fixedly connected to the second bracket 200. While the battery is placed on the second bracket 200, the connection strength between the battery and the second bracket 200 can also be guaranteed. On the one hand, the second bracket 200 can be used to effectively support the battery to improve the position stability of the battery and ensure the working performance of the battery to a certain extent. On the other hand, the second bracket 200 can also drive the battery to move synchronously during the movement, thereby facilitating the removal of the battery from the vehicle, reducing the difficulty of battery maintenance, and improving the safety of battery use.

[0132] It should be noted that the fixed connection between the battery and the second bracket 200 mentioned here can be a bolt connection or a clamping connection, so that the battery and the second bracket 200 form a detachable connection, which is convenient for installing and maintaining the battery.

[0133] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; they can refer to mechanical connection or electrical connection. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0134] Figure 4 and Figure 5 Two driving members 310 are shown for illustrative purposes, but after reading the above technical solution, ordinary technicians can obviously understand that the solution can be applied to the technical solution of three, four or more driving members 310, which also falls within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0135] The battery bracket 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention and other components of the vehicle having the same, such as the structure of the battery and the power supply principle, are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
