[0037] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the battery pack needs to be disassembled when the BMS is repaired, which causes inconvenience in operation, the present application provides a battery pack structure.

[0038] The battery pack structure in this embodiment includes a shell 10, a battery module, a battery management system, namely BMS20, and a battery pack disconnect unit, namely BDU30. The battery pack structure works in coordination with BMS20 and BDU30. BMS20 monitors the battery status and issues control instructions, while BDU30 reasonably distributes and controls power according to these instructions to ensure the stable and safe operation of the entire battery system.

[0039] In this embodiment, the battery pack structure can be installed on the vehicle body to provide power for the vehicle body as an electric power source.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 11As shown, the battery pack structure includes a shell 10, a BMS20 and a BDU30. The shell 10 has a first cavity 101 for installing a battery module, and a second cavity 102 arranged on one side of the first cavity 101 along a first direction. The BDU30 is arranged inside the second cavity 102, and the BMS20 is arranged outside the second cavity 102 and connected to the bottom plate of the shell 10.

[0041] Among them, the battery module, BMS20 and BDU30 are arranged inside the same housing 10, and BMS20 and BDU30 are both connected to the battery module to facilitate BMS20 and BDU30 to monitor the battery module and control the stable and safe operation of the battery module.

[0042] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is a metal shell to protect the battery module, BMS 20 and BDU 30 inside the housing 10 , and is also convenient for installation at a desired installation location, such as on a vehicle body.

[0043] Specifically, the interior of the housing 10 is divided into two cavities arranged along a first direction for installing a battery module and a BDU30 connected to the battery module, respectively. The two cavities are used to partition the battery module and the BDU30 to facilitate subsequent maintenance and improve safety of use.

[0044] In this embodiment, the battery pack structure adopts a structure in which the BMS 20 is arranged on the bottom surface of the outside of the housing 10, so that when the BMS 20 needs to be repaired, there is no need to disassemble the battery pack structure. The BMS 20 arranged outside the housing 10 can be repaired directly, which simplifies the overall maintenance operation, saves time and effort, and improves maintenance efficiency. The structural arrangement of the external BMS 20 of the present application is external to the housing 10, which avoids the problem of complicated operation caused by the need to disassemble the battery pack in the prior art to repair the BMS 20 inside the battery pack structure.

[0045] The first direction is as follows Figure 1 1 , the second direction is the length direction of the housing 10 as shown in FIG. 1 , the second direction is the width direction of the housing 10 as shown in FIG. 1 , and the third direction is the height direction of the housing 10 as shown in FIG. 1 .

[0046] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the bottom plate of the second cavity 102 is a mounting plate 130 , and the BDU 30 and the BMS 20 are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the mounting plate 130 along the height direction of the housing 10 .

[0047] Specifically, BMS20 is set on the lower side of BDU30, so that the structure with control function is set on the same side of the battery module, which facilitates the layout of the overall structure and is beneficial to improving the structural layout of the battery pack structure. At the same time, setting BMS20 on one side of the battery module is also beneficial to improving safety of use.

[0048] In this embodiment, the BMS 20 is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 130. Specifically, the mounting plate 130 has a mounting hole, and the BMS 20 has a through hole. The fastener passes through the through hole on the BMS 20 and extends into the interior of the mounting hole to compress, clamp, and fix the BMS 20. The BMS 20 is detachably fixed to the mounting plate 130 by the fastener and the mounting hole. The mounting hole is a threaded hole, and the fastener is a screw. The screw and the threaded hole are threaded together to fix the BMS 20.

[0049] In this embodiment, the BMS 20 includes at least a main board and a slave board. Both the main board and the slave board are mounted on the mounting plate 130 , and both the main board and the slave board are connected to the connector 40 via a wire harness 80 .

[0050] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting holes are provided, and the plurality of mounting holes are provided in cooperation with the through holes on the BMS 20 to improve the stability of the connection between the BMS 20 and the mounting plate 130 .

[0051] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, a reinforcing beam 70 is provided on the top surface of the mounting plate 130, and the BDU 30 is provided on the reinforcing beam 70. By providing the reinforcing beam 70 on the mounting plate 130, it is not only used for the installation of the BDU 30, but also helps to improve the installation strength and improve the stability of the battery pack structure.

[0052] The reinforcing beam 70 is disposed inside the second cavity 102 and extends along the second direction to increase the strength of the mounting plate 130 in the second direction and prevent deformation of the bottom of the second cavity 102 in the second direction.

[0053] In order to further improve the strength of the mounting plate 130 and the stability of the BDU 30 installation, multiple reinforcement beams 70 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The multiple reinforcement beams 70 are fixed between the BDU 30 and the mounting plate 130 to provide multiple installation positions, thereby improving the stability of the BDU 30 installation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the reinforcing beam 70 is fixed to the mounting plate 130 by welding. The reinforcing beam 70 is fixed to the reinforcing plate by welding, which is convenient for operation and is beneficial to the stability of the fixing of the reinforcing beam 70 .

[0055] Preferably, the reinforcing beam 70 and the mounting plate 130 are fixed by friction welding.

[0056] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a mounting channel 131 extending along the height direction of the housing 10 is provided on the mounting plate 130 , and the mounting channel 131 provides a mounting space.

[0057] Specifically, the battery pack structure also includes a connector 40 and a wiring harness 80. The connector 40 is inserted into the inside of the mounting channel 131. The end of the connector 40 exposed outside the outer shell 10 is connected to the BMS20 through the wiring harness 80, and the other end of the connector 40 located inside the outer shell 10 is used to connect to the battery module.

[0058] In this embodiment, along the height direction of the shell 10, one end of the connector 40 is exposed outside the shell 10, and the other end of the connector 40 is located inside the second cavity 102. The connector 40 is upright inside the mounting channel 131. The connector 40 is electrically connected to the BMS 20 through the wiring harness 80, and the other end of the connector 40, i.e., the end located inside the second cavity 102, is electrically connected to the battery module.

[0059] like Figure 11 As shown, the battery pack structure further includes a seal 90 , at least a portion of which is disposed between the mounting channel 131 and the connector 40 .

[0060] Specifically, the seal 90 is provided to seal the gap between the installation channel 131 and the connection, thereby achieving a waterproof and dustproof effect to prevent water and dust from entering the interior of the housing 10 through the installation channel 131.

[0061] Furthermore, the sealing member 90 is a plastic strip, which is connected to the mounting plate 130 , and the connector is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 130 via fasteners. The sealing strip not only achieves a sealing effect but also has the function of limiting and fixing the connector 40 .

[0062] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 130 has an inner raised bent portion facing the second cavity 102, and a mounting groove 103 is formed on the bent portion along the height direction of the shell 10, with an opening facing the side away from the BDU 30, and the BMS 20 and the wiring harness 80 are arranged inside the mounting groove 103.

[0063] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the mounting plate 130 forms a mounting groove 103, and the BMS20 and the wiring harness 80 are arranged inside the mounting groove 103, so that the BMS20 and the wiring harness 80 are built into the mounting groove 103 to play a protective role, avoiding the BMS20 and the wiring harness 80 protruding from the mounting groove 103 so as to avoid the problem that the BMS20 and the wiring harness 80 are easily damaged by collision.

[0064] Specifically, the battery pack structure also includes a maintenance plate 60, which is detachably connected to the mounting plate 130 and blocks the notch of the mounting slot 103. The maintenance plate 60 is disposed at the notch of the mounting slot 103 to protect the BMS 20 within the mounting slot 103. When the BMS 20 needs to be repaired, the maintenance plate 60 only needs to be removed to expose the BMS 20, making the operation convenient and simple, saving time and effort and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0065] Furthermore, the battery pack structure also includes a protective plate 50, which is detachably arranged outside the first cavity 101 and connected to the bottom surface of the shell 10. The maintenance plate 60 is coplanar with the bottom surface facing away from the protective plate 50.

[0066] In this embodiment, the protective plate 50 is provided to protect the bottom of the housing 10, preventing damage to the housing 10 from impact or other external forces, which could affect the installation and use of components within the housing 10, such as the battery module. The protective plate 50 is coplanar with the maintenance plate 60, which facilitates installation and improves the overall aesthetics. The coplanar structure of the protective plate 50 and the maintenance plate 60 prevents the bottom of the housing 10 from being easily damaged by uneven surfaces.

[0067] In this embodiment, the battery pack structure also includes a sealing strip, which is arranged between the maintenance plate 60 and the mounting plate 130. By arranging the sealing strip between the maintenance plate 60 and the mounting plate 130, when the maintenance plate 60 is installed on the mounting plate 130, the maintenance plate 60 and the mounting plate 130 are sealed by the sealing strip. The setting of the sealing strip can prevent water and dust from entering the interior of the mounting groove 103, and is beneficial to improving the stability of the installation of the maintenance plate 60; at the same time, the sealing strip is arranged between the guard plate 50 and the outer shell 10. By arranging the sealing strip between the guard plate 50 and the mounting plate 130, a sealed connection between the guard plate 50 and the outer shell 10 is achieved, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the installation of the guard plate 50.

[0068] Specifically, the maintenance plate 60 and the sealing strip are connected to the mounting plate 130 by means of bolts and other structural parts, that is, the bolts and other structural parts pass through the maintenance plate 60 and the sealing strip and are connected to the mounting plate 130, so that the BMS20 can be easily disassembled when maintenance is required, and can be easily installed after maintenance is completed, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of maintenance operations; similarly, the guard plate 50 and the sealing strip are connected to the outer shell 10 by means of bolts and other structural parts, that is, the bolts and other structural parts pass through the guard plate 50 and the sealing strip and are connected to the outer shell 10, so that the BMS20 can be easily disassembled when needed.

[0069] The maintenance plate 60 of the present application is arranged corresponding to the mounting plate 130 , so that when the BMS 20 needs to be repaired, only the maintenance plate 60 needs to be removed to repair the BMS 20 .

[0070] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the housing 10 in this embodiment includes an outer frame 110, a back plate 150, a mounting plate 130 and a cover plate 120. The back plate 150 and the mounting plate 130 are arranged at the bottom opening of the outer frame 110. The back plate 150 is used to support the battery module. The BMS20 and BDU30 are arranged on the mounting plate 130. The cover plate 120 is arranged at the top opening of the outer frame 110.

[0071] Specifically, the outer frame 110 is surrounded by frames connected end to end in sequence, and the back plate 150 is welded and fixed to the bottom opening of the outer frame 110 to support the battery module and realize the installation of the battery module, thereby increasing the installation space of the battery module; at the same time, the BMS20 and BDU30 are installed on the mounting plate 130 to facilitate the maintenance of the BMS20 at the bottom.

[0072] Furthermore, the cover plate 120 is covered at the top opening of the outer frame 110 to achieve the purpose of shielding the battery module and BDU30 with one cover plate 120 , and the cover plate 120 , the outer frame 110 , the back plate 150 and the mounting plate 130 cooperate with the inner cavity of the siege shell 10 .

[0073] Among them, in order to ensure the sealing of the area where the cover plate 120 is covered, this embodiment also provides a sealing ring between the cover plate 120 and the top surface of the outer frame 110. The setting of the sealing ring is conducive to achieving a waterproof and dustproof effect in the contact area between the cover plate 120 and the outer frame 110, and at the same time can also enhance the stability of the installation of the cover plate 120.

[0074] In this embodiment, the cover plate 120 is connected to the outer frame 110 by bolts to achieve a detachable connection effect.

[0075] In this embodiment, preferably, the back plate 150 and the outer frame 110 , as well as the mounting plate 130 and the outer frame 110 are all friction welded.

[0076] In this embodiment, to facilitate wiring, the outer frame 110 has a wiring hole 104 that communicates with the second cavity 102, thereby connecting the wiring harness 80 inside the housing 10 to the outside of the housing 10.

The partition 140 is arranged between the mounting plate 130 and the back plate 150 along the first direction. The partition 140 extends toward one side of the cover plate 120. The partition 140 divides the inner cavity of the shell 10 into a first cavity 101 and a second cavity 102 arranged on both sides of the partition 140 along the first direction.

[0078] Specifically, the partition 140 is provided to divide the inner cavity of the housing 10 into a first cavity 101 and a second cavity 102 , thereby partitioning the battery module and the BDU 30 .

[0079] In this embodiment, during the assembly process, the mounting plate 130 is first fixed to the outer frame 110 by friction welding so that the mounting plate 130 is formed into the bottom plate of the second cavity 102, and then the reinforcing beam 70 is welded and fixed on the top surface of the mounting plate 130 for installing the BDU30 and strengthening the strength of the mounting plate 130, and then the connector 40 and the seal 90 are connected and installed at the mounting channel 131, and the seal 90 is fixed by bolts to clamp and fix the connector 40 by the fixing member and seal the mounting channel 131, and then the BMS20 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 130, and the BMS20 and the connector 40 are electrically connected through the display, and then the connector 40 is electrically connected to the battery module through another wiring harness 80, and finally the maintenance plate 60 is used to cover the notch of the mounting slot 103 to cover the BMS20, and when maintenance is required, the maintenance plate 60 can be removed to expose the BMS20 for maintenance.

[0080] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
