[0002] Against the backdrop of numerous serious challenges, including carbon emissions, environmental pollution, and the energy crisis, new energy vehicles have become a development trend in the automotive industry, and special-purpose vehicles are also gradually moving towards electrification. The power battery pack is the core component of new energy special-purpose vehicles. The battery box, as the primary component supporting and protecting the power battery, bears the external loads exerted on the power battery. The operating conditions of special-purpose vehicles are more severe than those of ordinary vehicles. The battery box shell can be subjected to impacts of up to 20G. Furthermore, their power requirements are higher, and the corresponding power battery pack voltage also increases. Existing power batteries struggle to achieve modularity and lightweighting while maintaining these performance indicators. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model is intended to provide a modular high-voltage power battery pack suitable for special vehicles, so as to solve the problem that existing power batteries cannot achieve modularization and lightweight while ensuring voltage and pressure resistance.

[0004] A modular high-voltage power battery pack suitable for special vehicles in this solution includes a control box and multiple battery boxes, wherein the control box is located on the top layer, and the multiple battery boxes are detachably connected to the bottom of the control box in turn, and the multiple battery boxes are detachably connected to each other, and the control box and the multiple battery boxes are electrically connected. The battery box consists of a shell assembly, a cylindrical battery cell module and multiple electronic components, and the shell assembly includes a front panel, a lower base plate, a rear panel, an upper cover plate, two side panels and multiple mounting ears. The lower base plate, the upper cover plate and the two side panels are all aluminum alloy plates, and weight-reducing grooves are opened on the surface.

[0005] The working principle and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: This battery pack solves the modularization problem of high-voltage power battery packs for new energy special vehicles, significantly improving the installation and maintenance efficiency of the battery pack. Each battery pack can be independently installed and disassembled, greatly simplifying the installation and maintenance process. In the event of a fault, the problem module can be quickly troubleshooted and replaced, improving the availability and reliability of the battery pack. In addition, multiple modular battery boxes can effectively increase the overall voltage of the battery pack, making the battery pack much higher than the voltage level of traditional batteries, more in line with the use level of special vehicles, and greatly improving the power performance and endurance of special vehicles.

[0006] Aluminum alloy is used as the side panels, lower base and upper cover, which effectively reduces the weight of the battery pack while ensuring the high strength of the battery pack, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the entire vehicle. The opening of weight-reducing slots further reduces the weight of the battery box, ensuring the structural strength of the battery box under high load intensity in a lightweight environment, and improving the heat dissipation performance, extending the service life of the battery box, solving the problem of high strength and lightweight coexistence of power battery packs under high load.

[0007] Furthermore, multiple mounting ears are fixedly connected to the outside of the front and rear panels, and mounting holes are provided through the ears from top to bottom. Bolts are provided between two adjacent battery boxes, and the bolts pass through the mounting holes to secure the battery boxes. The mounting ears and mounting holes facilitate the installation and transportation of the battery boxes and also facilitate the connection of the entire battery pack to external devices after installation.

[0008] Furthermore, the front panel is provided with multiple electrical connectors that are electrically connected to the cylindrical battery modules, and both the front and rear panels are provided with multiple louvers. The electrical connectors facilitate connection between the battery and external devices, and the louvers provide a certain degree of waterproofing while dissipating heat.

[0009] Furthermore, the electronic components include a BMS, a fuse, etc. The BMS, the fuse, etc. can control and protect the electric energy in the cylindrical battery module.

[0010] Furthermore, the cylindrical cell module includes multiple cylindrical cells, and the battery box is fixedly connected to multiple stop bars. The multiple stop bars are divided into two groups, and the two groups of stop bars are fixedly connected to the upper cover and the lower base respectively. The stop bars of the upper cover and the stop bars of the lower cover correspond to each other. The multiple cylindrical cells are detachably connected between two adjacent stop bars. The stop bars are used to limit and fix the cylindrical cells to prevent them from shifting during transportation, which could pose a safety hazard.

[0011] Furthermore, the bars are serrated and made of non-metallic material. Multiple support posts are fixedly connected between two corresponding bars. Each of these support posts is fixedly connected to the bars and spaced equidistantly from each other. The non-metallic bars provide both position-limiting strength and insulation, and the large gap between the support posts and the bars facilitates the serial and parallel wiring of the cylindrical cell modules.

[0012] Furthermore, the control box is rectangular in shape and is constructed from thin aluminum alloy plates. Multiple lugs are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the control box, corresponding to the mounting lugs of the battery box. Internally, the control box houses components such as relays, pre-charge resistors, Hall effect sensors, and electrical connectors. The control box is used to control and manage the battery box, and the lugs are fixedly connected to the mounting lugs of the battery box using bolts. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
