Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery boxes, in particular to a battery box structure. Background Art

[0002] There are two types of existing bottom liquid-cooled battery case structures. One is profile liquid cooling, that is, the liquid cooling chamber and the battery case profile side beam are integrally formed. The advantages are that it is not easy to leak and there are fewer molding process steps. The disadvantages are high mold cost, long cycle, and insufficient strength. The other is to use a brazed stamped cold plate. A large sealing ring is set between the brazed stamped cold plate and the profile side beam of the battery case. The brazed stamped cold plate and the profile side beam are connected with FDS (flow drill screws). The bottom guard plate is assembled with the battery case by bolts. The advantages are low cost, short cycle, and high strength. The disadvantages are that the large sealing ring is easily damaged and difficult to install. There are too many bolts and FDS, which is heavy and takes a long time to assemble. The cold plate and bottom guard plate structure are more complicated. For example, the Chinese invention patent application with application publication number CN117691277A uses a brazed stamped cold plate, which also has the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] Furthermore, the inner beam and the side beam are fixedly connected by welding.

[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of threaded holes are provided at the bottom of the inner beam, and the bottom guard plate is fixedly connected to the inner beam via a plurality of bolts, one end of the bolts being threadedly connected to the threaded holes.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of avoidance holes are provided on the liquid cooling plate, and the plurality of avoidance holes correspond one-to-one to the plurality of threaded holes.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is sleeved on the bolt, and the sealing ring is arranged between the liquid cooling plate and the inner beam.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner beam includes a cross beam and a longitudinal beam arranged perpendicular to each other, and the threaded hole is opened on the cross beam.

[0011] Furthermore, a buffer pad is included, and the buffer pad is arranged between the bottom guard plate and the liquid cooling plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a battery box structure of the present invention, including a box frame 1, a liquid cooling plate 4, and a bottom protective plate 7.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the box frame 1 includes side beams 2 and inner beams 3. The inner beams 3 include multiple horizontal beams and longitudinal beams arranged perpendicular to each other. Both ends of the horizontal beams and longitudinal beams are fixedly connected to the side beams 2. A sinking platform 5 is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the side beam 2, and a threaded hole 6 is provided on the bottom end face of the horizontal beam. A sealing ring 9 is provided on the threaded hole 6.

Specifically, the entire edge of the liquid cooling plate 4 is brazed to the side beams 2, ensuring a tight seal between the liquid cooling plate 4 and the side beams 2. This eliminates the need for large sealing rings 9 between the side beams 2 and the liquid cooling plate 4. The liquid cooling plate 4 is fixedly connected to the inner beam 3 via multiple FDSs. Multiple escape holes 8 are provided in the liquid cooling plate 4, corresponding one-to-one with the threaded holes 6.

One end of the bolt passes through the bottom guard plate 7, the avoidance hole 8, the sealing ring 9 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 6.

[0024] In this embodiment, the height of the sink 5 is equal to the thickness of the liquid cooling plate 4, so that the bottom of the liquid cooling plate 4 is flush with the bottom of the side beam 2, which saves the stamping space for the bottom guard plate 7, makes the structure simpler, and facilitates installation.

[0025] The battery box structure of this embodiment also includes a buffer pad, which is arranged between the bottom guard plate 7 and the liquid cooling plate 4. Figure 1 Not indicated.

[0026] In this embodiment, a sinking platform 5 is provided at the bottom of the side beam 2, thereby eliminating the large sealing ring 9, a vulnerable part, so that the airtightness between the side beam 2 and the liquid cooling plate 4 is ensured. The structure is simple and easy to install, the weight of the bolts is reduced by half, the structure of the bottom guard plate 7 is also simple, and the overall strength is further enhanced.

[0027] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
